Air Canada Centre
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Episode LXI
After the opening video package, pyro blasts from the stage and Alternatron, before panning across the tens of thousands in attendance.
Mike Vincent: Coming to you live from a packed Air Canada Centre, this is AXW! As always, Mike Vincent here joined by Cole Haywood.
Cole Haywood: Tonight's Main Event will see our AXW Champion in action, but we're going to kick the night off between two industry veterans.
As the opening of "300 Violin Orchestra" by Jorge Quintero hits, a somber orange hue develops the top of the ramp, almost like a nice sunset. Two small cannons rise up on either side of the ramp and they fire off a round of exploding white pyros with a BOOM. The song picks up as the crowd already begins clapping and stomping their feet to the emerging Notch who bobs his head to the music with a grin. He makes his way to the ring, slapping hands with the fans as he goes. He stops half way down the ramp and rubs a pair of dice together. With a carefree toss they are flung forward as an orange pyro blast explodes.
Salvatore Pellegrino: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, wrestling out of West Scranton, Pennsylvania, weighing 222 pounds, "Vitamin N" THE NOTCH!
The Notch, with a focused look on his face, makes his way to the ring. He scales a turnbuckle and looks out onto the crowd as they give him some serious hero worship. The Notch flings his visor into the crowd and leaps down, taking off his matching button down shirt, looking primed and ready as his music fades out.
Sean steps forward on the stage wearing his black signature T-Shirt and holding a black flag. On the black flag, written with white letters is "The Anarchist" and Sean's face drawn beside it.
Salvatore Pellegrino: His opponent, wrestling out California, weighing 218 pounds, "The Anarchist" SEAN BLACK!
He walks to the ring and climbs on the turnbuckle. Sean puts the flag on the turnbuckle, raises his arms above his head and then gets down from the turnbuckle and into the ring, hyped for his match.
vs. 
The two circle the ring and... Sean Black rolls out of the ring. Sean grabs a microphone from ringside.
Sean Black: Life isn't that simple, Notch. You're not gonna get a match out of me tonight. You can wrestle me when I allow you to wrestle me. I'll allow this free win to your record because this will be your last one.
Sean drops the microphone and makes his way up the ramp.
Salvatore Pellegrino: The winner of this match as a result of a forfeit, THE NOTCH!
Mike Vincent: This certainly can't be the situation The Notch expected to find himself in when he decided to come back to AXW.
Cole Haywood: The Notch is trying to surpass Sean Black up the mountain and Sean Black is going to do everything within his power to push him down.
-----
Backstage, David Slayton and Destiny Maverick meet.
David Slayton: You really brought it to me last week, Maverick. How about we do it again, but to ensure there's a winner, how about we settle this in say, a Falls Count Anywhere Match?
Destiny Maverick: You're on, Blaze, but if you wanna lose that badly to me, how about we do this where more eyes will be on us at Collide?
David Slayton: Don't be getting too confident now, but I'll agree to the venue.
The two shake on it, cementing their place on the Collide card.
-----
Out walk Chicks and America to their usual pop.
Salvatore Pellegrino: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Sam De Santa and Trent Mathews, wrestling out of San Francisco, California, weighing 205 pounds, "The Diamond Standard" RICKY DIAMOND!
Ricky enters the ring and climbs up onto the middle of the ring ropes, and snapping his gloved hands together to form the symbol and shouts ‘FEAR THE BEARD’ along with the fans. He then rolls from the ring, removes his shirt, giving it to someone at ringside; pulling a sharpie from his trunks and autographing it for the fan.
The tune for Ghetto King starts up as The first words are spoken from behind the curtain walks out Mr Gives No Fucks, Quentin Rage. His eyes always looking around him as he walks to the ring bad mouthing people and threatening to smack any fans that try to touch him. He gets to the ring and he actually walks all the way around the ring on the outside as he mouths off to all the fans that try to bad mouth him before he wipes his feet on the concrete below as he then rolls in the ring as he gets up and goes to the closest corner as he just lays back and gets checked by the referee. He still mouths off to the fans as the referee.
Salvatore Pellegrino: His opponent, representing S.O.B., wrestling out of Lonsdale Community in Knoxville, Tennessee, weighing 245 pounds, QUENTIN RAGE!
He throws his hands up in the air as the fans boo him be he looks like he enjoys the boos as if they were cheers. He then stands and watches the entrance for his opponent fist clenched at his side.
vs. 
This match could not be more one sided as Quentin Rage executes all five of his moves of doom: Guilotine Choke, Superman Punch, MMA Style Headkick, Muscle Buster, Crippler Crossface. It's worth mentioning that Ricky tapped out immediately to the Guillotine Choke, but that didn't stop Rage from delivering the other four maneuvers after the match was over. Trent finally slides into the ring to help his partner and is taken right out with Awaken The Rage Inside (Knockout Spinning Backfist). Rage grabs Ricky by the throat and choke tosses him over the top rope to the floor. Rage brings Diamond to the announce table, where he doesn't even bother to remove the monitors, and powerbombs Ricky through it.
Mike Vincent: Ricky Diamond crashes through our announce table, and after all that's been done to him he could be seriously injured.
Cole Haywood: And you'll notice that Quentin Rage did this all on his own, Chopper isn't even out here. One of them, both of them, doesn't matter, they will destroy anything in their way.
EMTs rush down to the aid of Ricky. Quentin Rage starts to make his way to the back.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Ladies and gentlemen, the ruling of the match is Quentin Rage is the winner by submission.
We return from commercials to Max Kilburne and the AXW Tag Team Champions.
Max Kilburne: Joining me at this time are the AXW Tag Team Champions, Lethal Weapons. Guys, big match announced earlier on the Alternative as you will be defending your AXW Tag Team Championships at Collide against the team of Duncan Aries and Malcolm M. Mitchell.
Justin Wyndham: The thing about that is that yeah, Aries has defeated us in singles matches. It should also be worth pointing out he had to use some sort of underhanded tactic to do so.
TO'A: All these singles wins make Aries seem to forget that we are a tag team. As a team, we can't be stopped.
Justin Wyndham: The two of us are the tightest knit unit this company has ever seen, and when it comes down to it, Aries will not beat us when it matters the most: in tag team action. Aries doesn't even have friends here, the last time he had some they all left him in the dark. And you mean to tell us that Duncan Aries, who frankly isn't a tag team specialist, and his partner, who is not only a guy who has trouble winning, but is the one guy on this roster Aries hates more than anyone, are supposed to be a threat to us?
TO'A: Pathetic.
The tandem leave the set as we go back to ringside.
-----
"Everywhere I Go" starts with flashing while lights.
"Everywhere I go
Bitches always know
That Charlie Scene got a weenie that he loves to show (bitch)
Everywhere I go
Bitches always know"
Chaz Anix comes out with a gym tee cut to show his mustles slowly with his arms outstretched and his eyes closed
"Wake up!"
Chaz opens his eyes quickly and rips off his shirt and makes his way down to the ring
"Grab beer
Grab rear
Shave beard
Put on some scene gear
Gotta get drunk before my mom wakes up
Break up, with my girlfriend so I can bang sluts
I'm undead
Unfed
Been sleeping on, bunk beds, since ten
So if I don't booze it
I'm gonna lose it
Everybody get to it
Do it
Get ruined."
Chaz stops at the end of the ramp and flexes then he slides into the ring.
“Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there”
Crest Silver slowly walks out from the back with a smug grin on his face. He walks down a little to the top of the ramp and throws his arms into the air, at which time pyros go off. After this he saunters down to the ring shouting at the crowd ‘Awesome ends in ME!’. He slides under the bottom rope into the ring where he eagerly waits for the match to get under way.
Salvatore Pellegrino: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the AXW Xperience Championship! Introducing the challenger, accompanied to the ring by "Mr. Lust" Chester Andrews, wrestling out of Miami, Florida, weighing 234 pounds, "Dr. Big Freaking Deal" CHAZ ANIX!
Chaz flexes.
Salvatore Pellegrino: His opponent, wrestling out of Chicago, Illinois, weighing 241 pounds, he is the defending AXW Xperience Champion, "The King of the Elites" CREST SILVER!
Crest raises his title high before handing it off to Jessie McCormick.
vs. 
A competitive match for the championship, the champ gets in some offense that includes Step-up Enzuigiri, Reverse DDT, Spinning Suplex, Gutwrench Powerbomb, Backstabber, Tree Of Woe - Running Dropkick To The Face, Russian Leg Sweep followed by a Standing Moonsault, Double-Arm Backbreaker. Anix's offense includes Jumping DDT, Snap Suplex, Lawn Dart, Too Sexy for This (Flat Liner), Wheel kick, Dragon Sleeper. The conclusion of the match sees Anix in control, who delivers a Dropkick into kip up, and upon kipping up, sees Bobo Sweetcakes walking down the ramp. Bobo has a microphone.
Bobo Sweetcakes: Hi, Chaz! I noticed you've been seeming kind of upset lately, so I brought you this cupcake. Cupcakes make everyone happy!
Bobo hands the cupcake to Anix through the ropes. Anix grabs it takes a good look at it, and chucks it up the ramp. Anix yells at Bobo to leave, and the distracted Anix gets turned around into a Totally Awesome Powerbomb! (Straight Jacket Powerbomb), followed by Just Tap Already (Texas Clover Leaf), forcing Anix to submit.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner by submission, and STILL AXW Xperience Champion, CREST SILVER!
Mike Vincent: Crest Silver remains Xperience Champion after involvement from Bobo Sweetcakes, the events surrounding this championship are getting pretty interesting.
Cole Haywood: All I know is someone better clean that cupcake off that dirty ramp before that human vaccum Craig Brooks comes and sucks it up.
Silver is awarded his championship and celebrates with it, before we head backstage.

Gina Furlow: Hello, I'm Gina Furlow, and I'm joined by the Number One Contender for the AXW Women's Championship, Rochelle. Rochelle, you managed to sneak away--
Rochelle: Whoa, whoa, whoa, sneak away? No, what I did was I defeated Android 18 fair and square, which I shouldn't have had to do in the first place, and now I'm finally on my way to the top of the Women's Division.
Gina Furlow: You can't ignore the fact that Katsuko Nakamoto was a distraction or that you grabbed the tights and used the ropes.
Rochelle: What I can ignore is you. All I'm hearing right now is "blah blah blah." I won the match, I was going to win it no matter what, and that's all that matters. Your time here is done, scram.
Gina Furlow leaves the scene and we head to commercial.
We return to see Brad Adams and Damien Steele standing backstage, Damien is dressed in an all black Armani Suit and is carrying the AXW Championship on his shoulder.
Brad Adams: Damien, I wanted to get your thoughts on your match tonight against Gabe Shelley.
Damien Steele: Didn't I already beat him once?
Brad Adams: Yes, you did, in the first round of the AXW Number One Contender's Tournament, but he has heard the words you have said about his family--
Damien stops Adams right in the middle of his sentence.
Damien Steele: That word family has a real weird ring off the ears of a man that has no real traditional family values. You see Shelley, I do not know what family is. I was orphaned and had various "families" growing up. Most of them were just looking for that state check so they could go get their crack or heroin or coke fix. I'm not looking for a pity party though. The life I have lived has made me the man I am today, and that man is a champion.
Damien has a smug smile on his face for a second as Brad goes to speak again.
Brad Adams: Aren't you afraid you may have gone too far with what you said about his daughter?
Damien shrugs it off as he chuckles too. He motions for the camera to come closer as he get right up in the camera.
Damien Steele: Does it look like I care? Do you see any bit of care in these eyes? And for those watching at home... If you are easily offended... well keep watching. Gabe, you got offended by what I said on Twitter, than you haven't seen anything yet. Shelley, you want to come at me to be a man and try to defend your family's honor. It doesn't make a difference if I have to beat you, your wife, or that snot nosed, boob sucking brat. The end result will be the same thing every time... The Vicious One leaves still the AXW Champ!
Damien holds the championship up to the camera as he walks off camera as if focuses on Brad Adams.
Brad Adams: Some strong words from the champ about his match tonight. Let's go back to ringside.

"I Want it All" starts and when the guitars kick in Moore with Givins behind him walk out and put their arms up and strut down to the ring
Salvatore Pellegrino: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, wrestling out of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, at a combined weight of 445 pounds, "Perfect" Patrick Moore and "Arrogant" Weastly Givens, PERFECT ARROGANCE!
then when they get to the ring they both get up on the apron and wipe their feet then get into the ring
"Hear Me Now" plays throughout the arena and Malcolm M. Mitchell makes his way to the stage. He takes a moment to taunt, throwing shadow punches, then runs his hands through his hair and flicks the water off his hands, keeping his arms spread with his head up, soaking in the reaction from the crowd.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Their opponents, first, wrestling out of Riviera Beach, Florida, weighing 214 pounds, MALCOLM M. MITCHELL!
He walks down to the ring with confidence in every step. Malcolm enters the ring, climbs to the second turnbuckle, and does the same taunt he did on the stage.
The arena lights descend to darkness, as the tron displays an old black and white vision of an apocalyptic scene, as within a broken building we hear the crackle and zap of electricity, pulses of computers, as there, standing before the rubble is a figure in a denim jacket and tattered denim jeans. The figure turns slowly, and forms a smirk from under a pair of black Aviator shades.
"Not even God can save you.."
The crowd roars to "Not Even God" by Digital Summer, as some are booing, some cheering, an ice blue hue filling the ramp and entrance, a thin mist that under a spotlight has an eerie glow for one Duncan Aries! Aries has his back to us, looking down, before spinning around, arms crossed and head cocked in a smirk.
Salvatore Pellegrino: His partner, wrestling out of San Diego, California, weighing 238 pounds, AXW Hall of Famer, "The Wild Card" DUNCAN ARIES!
Aries strides to the ring, paying no mind before tossing his shades into the crowd and leaping onto the apron. Entering the ring, Aries spins around, basking in the glow of the reaction, positive or negative, tossing off his jacket, yelling out "Because I'm Duncan Aries, motherfuckers!" as "Not Even God" fades out.
vs. 
Duncan Aries is adamant that he starts the match and he does. He's able to deliver some signature moves to Weastly Givens, back suplex, buzzsaw kicks, sidewalk slam, and a San Diego Driver (Full Nelson pickup released into a wheelbarrow facebuster). Aries would go for a pin, and it's Malcolm M. Mitchell who breaks it. Mitchell quickly gets back to the apron, and naturally Aries approaches him to ask him what the hell he's doing. This was a ploy to get Aries close enough to him so he can tag himself in. Mitchell comes in and delivers some of his moves to Givens - Jumping Shoulder Jawbreaker, Hammerlock DDT, T-Bone Suplex, Zigzag. Mitchell would whip Givens to the ropes where Givens responds with Oak Ridge's Finest (Springboard Back Elbow). This allows Givens to tag in Moore, which causes Aries to yell out "Nice job, you idiot!" to his own partner. Moore comes in and hits some moves to Mitchell, a Back Drop, Powerslam, and Powerbomb. Moore would attempt a Love Sick (Superkick), but Mitchell catches it and stuns him with an Enzuigiri. Mitchell pulls his knee pad down and backs to a corner to set up the Sleep Tight (Busaiku Knee Kick), but he perhaps doesn't realize what corner he backed into and Aries tags himself in. Aries forcefully throws Mitchell out of the ring and takes Moore down with a clothesline. Aries keeps going and takes Givens off the apron with a big boot. Aries finishes the job with The Culmination (Front slam pickup swung into a Rock Bottom).
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here are your winners, MALCOLM M. MITCHELL and DUNCAN ARIES!
Mike Vincent: Well, they did win.
Cole Haywood: All thanks to Duncan Aries! This is proof that a partner holds him down!
Aries exits the ring and raises both arms on his way up the ramp. Meanwhile Malcolm M. Mitchell slides back into the ring, not pleased with his partner.

We're back with Gina Furlow.
Gina Furlow: Back again, this time with the AXW Women's Champion, Janet Hurricane. Janet, we know now that you will be defending your title at Collide against Rochelle. Your thoughts?
Janet Hurricane: She just doesn't get it, does she? She can't beat me. She never will. All I've had to say about her I've already said, the more I talk about her the more bored I get. So if you have any other questions regarding Rochelle, I'm not going to answer them.
Gina Furlow: Alright, well thank you for your time, Janet. Stay tuned fans, after this commercial break will be your Main Event!
The opening chords of "The Right Direction" by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus rolls throughout the arena. There’s a fountain of pyro at the three second mark as the song hits. Three spotlights shine and revolve around as if searching for someone, and the fans are on their feet, cheering in anticipation for the hero they know is coming. At the seven second mark, the hooded figure steps from behind the curtain and through the pyro looking down. The song builds to the fourteen second mark as he throws his hood back and arms out, fired up, as there’s a loud pop of orange and white pyro from the stage. Gabe Shelley responds to the cheers of the fans by pounding his chest and pointing out to them. The fans are positively crazy about Gabe. He begins to make his way to the ring and is sure to tap hands of fans on the ramp.
I will never understand the path you chose
Chemical parasitic waste inside your bowels
So wrap it up while you still can
While you got the offer in
I just can't believe
That you'd throw it all away
Now you falsely return today
As you're falling on your face
Salvatore Pellegrino: This is your Main Event scheduled for one fall, introducing first, wrestling out of Columbus, Ohio, weighing 220 pounds, here is "the reVolution" GABE SHELLEY!
Shelley makes his way up the steel steps and jumps to the second turnbuckle and looks around the arena with a smile on his face. He jumps into the ring as his hood comes back up, landing on his feet. He goes to the middle of the ropes ropes facing camera side and jumps to the second one. He flips the hood back once again and makes finger guns at the camera and fires with a wink.
The lights all go out and "Miseria Cantare" by AFI starts as a single spotlight shines on the entrance as Damien Steele is standing in the entrance hair in front of his face as at the 45 second mark of the song. Damien flips his hair back and starts to walk down to the ring, as the words of the song start.
LOVE... YOUR HATE...
Damien Steele makes no connection to any fans that might be throwing insults his way, almost as if he is only focused on the ring, and more specifically his opponent.
YOUR... FAITH LOST...
Salvatore Pellegrino: His opponent, wrestling out of Chicago, Illinois, weighing 221 pounds, he is the AXW Champion, "The Vicious One" DAMIEN STEELE!
Steele reaches the ring as he walks around to the steps.
YOU... ARE NOW...
Damien waits at the bottom of the steps keeping his eyes on his opponent.
ONE... OF US...
A wicked smile comes across his face as the words of the song repeat again just a little bit faster this time.
LOVE... YOUR HATE... YOUR... FAITH LOST... YOU... ARE NOW... ONE... OF US...
Steele takes one step up the steps, still keeping his eyes locked on his opponent till he reaches the top step and wipes his feet before entering the ring never taking his eyes off his opponent.
vs. 
Non-Title
Gabe Shelley doesn't hesitate to start pummeling away at Damien Steele. Steele fights back and the two are trading blow for blow, until Steele throws a finger to the eye of Shelley, quickly taking advantage by delivering a Swinging Enzuigiri. Steele follows up with a few other moves, a Northern Lights Suplex, Buckle Bomb, and Avada Kedavra. Shelley manages to get back in it, delivering a mostly strike based offense. Gabe does start to expand and delivers a Cannon Ball (Similar to the Codebreaker, but Gabe's knees are in his opponents chest), Pop Up Flapjack/Shining Wizard Combo, and goes on to plant him with a Junkyard Jam (Pedigree). Steele rolls out of the ring and Shelley goes to follow, but Shelley doesn't catch the Steele grabbed hold of a chair and strikes him in the gut with it. Steele Slams it across the back of Shelley.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner by disqualification, Gabe Shelley!
Mike Vincent: Unsurprising that Damien Steele takes a low road.
Cole Haywood: It's called making a statement, Mike. Steele doesn't even have anything to prove against Shelley.
Steele grabs his championship and leaves the arena. During which he shouts out things like "This is the Vicious Era!" "No man, woman, or child is taking this from me!" as well as other things that aren't as audible.
