SNHU Arena
Manchester, New Hampshire
Episode LXV
After the opening video package, "Welcome Home" continues to blare throughout the arena with pyro blasting from the stage and Alternatron, before cameras rest at the announce table.
Mike Vincent: Welcome to AXW, as we come onto the air we have some breaking news to inform you, and that is that this is the final televised show before Horizon. Horizon will air as advertised on May 13 on BWF Network, but AXW will not be returning to tv until May 27.
Cole Haywood: This is our last episode on ION Television, as AXW and Ion Media Networks will be parting ways. AXW will be back with a bang on May 27, as AXW begins a new venture with Viacom.
Mike Vincent: The Alternative will air at 9 PM Eastern, with AXW following at 10:30 PM Eastern, LIVE on Spike TV!
Cole Haywood: Immediately following the day long marathon of COPS!
Mike Vincent: Now without further ado, let's get to some wrestling.
‘Invincible’ by Adelitas Way hits and Acer Stone runs out from the back looking pumped up and energetic. He heads down the ramp and punches the air three times as red pyros go off at the top of the ramp behind him.
Salvatore Pellegrino: The following Fatal Four Way contest is scheduled for one fall, and is to determine the Number One Contender for the AXW Light Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first, wrestling out of Tampa, Florida, weighing 165 pounds, ACER STONE!
Acer heads over to the fans and slaps hands with them as he gets to the ring. He climbs into the ring and works the crowd a little more before they join him in punching the air three times.
"How Sweet to be an Idiot" by Neil Innes as Cloud comes out of the curtains with one hand on his pocket and the other hand holding a lighter. He flicks the lighter and stares at the flame as if he was in a trance and then he points up at the sky, saying, "Rest in Peace Sensei." Cloud puts the lighter back in his pocket and makes his way to the ring.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Wrestling out of Los Angeles, California, weighing 210 pounds, CLOUD!
He slaps hands with almost every fans and then later regrets leaving few fans hanging before entering the ring. Cloud then goes to the nearest corner and sits down like Raven, patiently waiting for the match to start
"Dammit" plays and out walks Trent Mathews. Trent drops to his knees, extending his arms out as pyro rains down behind him. Once the pyro stops, Trent stands up and makes his way down the ramp.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Wrestling out of Owasco, New York, weighing 217 pounds, TRENT MATHEWS!
Trent slides into the ring. He steps onto the middle turnbuckle, looking around at the fans. Trent steps down and removes his leather jacket, hanging it from the ring post then readies himself for the match.
The opening beat of "ultranumb" by Blue Stahli as the crowd goes in a frenzy, hyped to see the arrival of "The World Warrior" The cameras focused on the countdown clock shown in the titantron while we hear a voice say, "Ultranumb"
"THREE. THREe, THRee, THree,Three
"TWO, TWO., two two
ONE"
"YOU WANT IT ALL RIGHT NOW"
The lights starts to flicker before coming back to normal as Justin Wyndham comes out with a smile on his face. He bends down on both knees and looks at his imaginary "watch" before getting up and does a cut throat sign.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Wrestling out of Cloverleaf, Texas, weighing 210 pounds, "The World Warrior" JUSTIN WYNDHAM!
He then gets up before running down to the ring in full speed. Once he enters the ring, he bangs his head to the nearest turnbuckle, hyping himself up before looking back at the crowd with a sick smile. He then climbs at the turnbuckle and does the cuthroat sign before getting off and waiting for his match to start

#1 Contendership
Each man looking to step up and earn a championship opportunity, no one holds back. Each participant hits most of their major moves. The conclusion of the match sees Stone in control of Cloud and Wyndham in control of Mathews. Wyndham has Mathews on the top rope, looking for a superplex. Stone manages to see this and quickly takes advantage, shoving them both out to the floor. Stone returns to Cloud and receives The Raining God Syndrome (Superkick), followed by Obscure(Moonlight Drive) for the victory.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, and the Number One Contender to the AXW Light Heavyweight Championship, CLOUD!
Mike Vincent: Huge win for Cloud as he meets Ben Eatr at Horizon for the AXW Light Heavyweight Championship!
Cole Haywood: I'm not a big fan of either man, but rockets tend to go through clouds pretty easily.
Mike Vincent: A plus journalism, I'm sure you spent hours researching aeronautics and nephology.
Cole Haywood: I don't even think that last word you said is even a real word.
Cloud seems to be as shocked as ever as "How Sweet to be an Idiot" replays throughout the arena. Cloud has his arm raised by Jessie McCormick, and quadruple checks with her to make sure she didn't make a mistake. Cloud climbs the turnbuckles in celebration, before exiting the ring and diving into the fans. You'd think he actually won the title with this celebration.

Backstage, Craig Brooks is standing by with Zoey Mathews-Mitchell.
Craig Brooks: Zoey, I've known you for several years now, and I know that being a professional wrestler is what you were destined to be, and I know that despite being somewhat calm and collected on Social X, if you lose this match against Janet Hurricane, you're going to be crushed. So why exactly are you going through with putting your career on the line?
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: ...it'll crush me, yes, but I need to know if I can beat her or not, and if it happens to be the latter, then I don't believe I have a place in pro wrestling. If I do lose, I suppose it would be kind of like a break up, I'll be hurt and sad for a while, but I'll move on to other ventures. I've got some things I can fall back on so it wouldn't be the end of the world.
Craig Brooks: Horizon will be your first match back in just barely over a year, and against someone you know first hand is essentially unstoppable, how prepared are you even going to be for this match?
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: You're really not making this any easier on me, Craig. All I can do is train non-stop. Janet does have the edge here, I'm aware of that, I'm aware this is not a good situation for me, but that's the kind of pressure I want. I'm hoping this disadvantage will motivate me to work harder than I ever have to come out as the new AXW Women's Champion.
Craig Brooks: Thank you, Zoey, back to ringside.
-----
The opening sound of the theme "Tokyo Drift" blared throughout the P.A. System as Chae-won walked out onto the stage, before taking a full spin before shooting an X sign in front of her herself with her forearms.
"I wonder if you know
How it is in Tokyo
If you seen it, then you need it
and you know you have to go
Tyaokaooo Drift, Drift, Drift
Tyaokaooo Drift, Drift, Drift"
With a sarcastic smile on her face, Chae-won puts her arms out wide, before strolling down the ramp with an arrogant smirk, eyeing the fans around her on her way.
Salvatore Pellegrino: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, wrestling out of Brooklyn, New York by way of Seoul, South Korea, weighing 107 pounds, "The Korean Joshi Princess" CHAE-WON LEE!
When she got to the ring, she climbed up on the apron, using it to wipe her shoes off before entering the ring. Finally, little Lee took a lap around the ring before taking a full spin and putting up the X with her forearms in front of her chest.
"OooowoahOooWoooah"
The opening line of "Cloud Nine" blared throughout the P.A. System when Alundra walked out to the top of the stage of the AXW arena, striking a few sly poses as her music continued to play.
"If you want to live, let live
If you want to go, let go
I'm never afraid to dream to sleep, sleep forever
"I don't need to touch the sky
I just want to feel the high
And you refuse to let me"
Salvatore Pellegrino: Her opponent, accompanied to the ring by "The Seductive Spy" Sylvia, wrestling out of Brooklyn, New York by way of Seoul, South Korea, weighing 121 pounds, "The Korean Assassin" ALUNDRA-YOON LEE!
The Korean Assassin would then strut down the ramp, slapping a few hands as she embraced the crowd's effervescent atmosphere before walking up the steel slips and going the ring along, turning her head back to blow a kiss. She puts up a peace sign as she turns her body out, sliding over the middle rope and into the ring. Alundra then perches herself up on the second turnbuckle, putting a revolver sign above her chest with her index fingers and blowing it off before jumping off the ropes, planting her feet back on the mat.
vs. 
Some of Chae-Won's offense includes Tilt-a-whirl Headscissors Takedown, Tilt-a-whirl Backbreaker, Double Jump Springboard Crossbody, Sharpshooter, Springboard ArmDrag. Alundra-Yoons offense sees Jumping Tornado DDT, Jumping Neckbreaker, Bow and Arrow Stretch, Front Missile Dropkick, Diving Meteora. With the referee out of position, Chae-Won would rake the eyes of Alundra-Yoon, and follow up with Tidal Wave [Corner Double Jump Springboard Enzuigiri] for the victory.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, CHAE-WON LEE!
Mike Vincent: Using underhanded tactics, Chae-Won Lee gets the win over her older sister.
Cole Haywood: I didn't see nothin', other than which Lee sibling is truly the superior athlete.
Chae-Won exits the ring and backs up the ramp as we head to commercial.
We return to Craig Brooks standing by with the AXW Women's Champion, Janet Hurricane.
Craig Brooks: I'm now joined by the AXW Women's Champion, Janet Hurricane, and Janet, during the commercial break you saw my interview with your opponent, Zoey Mathew-Mitchell. How do you respond?
Janet Hurricane: I'm glad that this finally comes to and end, I'm glad that I can finally put an end to Zoey Mathews once and for all. There's not going to be a fairy tale ending at Horizon with Zoey Mathews leaving with both her career and my AXW Women's Championship. There's going to be a reality ending, and the reality is that she will never beat me. When it's all said and done, with Zoey Mathews-Mitchell laying on the mat, when she finally comes to and is staring up at the lights, that's when reality is going to hit her the hardest, and she'll have nobody to blame but herself.
Craig Brooks: Thank you Janet, championship action coming your way.

"Remedy" by Seether plays of the P.A. system as the camera pans over the arena stopping at the entrance way as Danny Hall,sporting a fur vest,strolls down to the ring stopping sometimes to yell at children,then when he gets to the ring he rolls under the bottom rope to sit in the corner then he stands up.....in the corner.
“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 first, the challenger, wrestling out of Camden, Tennessee, weighing 220 pounds, "Mr. Most Hated" DANNY HALL!
Danny looks intently across the ring at his opponent.
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 up and gets confrontational with Hall, referee Gus Ramos has to step in and keep them apart before the match starts.
vs. 
Silver starts the match in control and backs Hall to the corner and ropes several times, hitting him with hard strikes. Silver continues his offense with Step-up Enzuigiri, Double-Arm Backbreaker, and Gutwrench Powerbomb. Hall manages to take control with a Shot Heard Round The World(Superkick), and follows up with a Running Knee, Double-Arm DDT, and Dropkick to Back. Hall starts to lift Silver up for Hallway to Hell (Roode Bomb), but Silver slips behind him and drops him with a Reverse DDT. Silver continues his control with a Backstabber and a Tree Of Woe - Running Dropkick To The Face. He lifts Hall up for a Totally Awesome Powerbomb! (Straight Jacket Powerbomb), but Hall counters with a Hurricanrana. Hall looks to charge at Silver, but Silver pulls Ramos in front of him to use him as a shield. Hall manages to baseball slide between the legs of both men, and low blows Silver. Ramos, of course not seeing the low blow, counts to three on Hall's following roll-up.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, and the NEW AXW Xperience Champion, DANNY HALL!
Mike Vincent: Danny Hall with highway robbery! Danny Hall has stolen the AXW Xperience Championship!
Cole Haywood: The only crime Danny Hall committed was desecration of a religious figure! The poor silver bells...
Hall immediately rolls out of the ring and is awarded his new Xperience Championship. Hall celebrates with it on his way to the back, while Crest Silver is left behind absolutely furious.

Backstage, Gina Furlow is standing by with Sean Black.
Gina Furlow: Sean, do you care to explain yourself after your heinous attack on The Notch last week?
Sean Black: It was not a "heinous attack", it was redemption. He's not even here tonight, and what I did wasn't even that bad. Believe me, it could have been much, much worse. And it will be, but I'm saving that for Horizon, when I defeat The Notch in a Two out of Three Falls Match.
Sean walks off and we go to commercial.
"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
Salvatore Pellegrino: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, accompanied to the ring by "Mr. Lust" Chester Andrews, wrestling out of Miami, Florida, weighing 234 pounds, "Dr. Big Freaking Deal" CHAZ ANIX!
"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.
PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT!
The lights in the arena all cut to black and the Tron comes to life, pulsating with a green light as a quiet beat gets louder with every flash. It gets faster and faster, and louder with each pulse, until the pulsating light explodes into the words "Blazenwing Rises" and “The Phoenix” by Fall Out Boy blares across the arena sound system.
You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down
Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground
We are the jack-o-lanterns in July
Setting fire to the sky
He-here comes this rising tide
So come on
PUT ON YOUR WAR PAINT!
The stage fills with smoke and the crowd rises to their feet, cheering loudly, as the smoke clears on the stage and a man in a dark green trenchcoat stands, head down, facing the Tron. He raises his hands and snaps his fingers, causing four loud bursts of pyro to ignite, two on each side of him, before spinning around Y2J style to reveal David Slayton!
Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies
Silver clouds with grey linings
So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart
His sunglasses shining with the glare from the arena lights, David looks to the left, then to the right, nodding towards the crowd before walking down the ramp.
Salvatore Pellegrino: His opponent, wrestling out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, weighing 245 pounds, here is "The New Hotness" DAVID SLAYTON!
After stopping to slap hands with a few fans, David moves towards the ring steps and hops up and down a few times in front of them before quickly racing up the steps to the apron side facing the stage. He stops and pulls his sunglasses off, then tosses them behind his head into the crowd before leaning down and stepping through the ropes to enter the ring.
Hey young blood
Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
You're wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
David walks across the ring and leaps up onto the second rope in the corner nearest the timekeeper, then pulls off his green trenchcoat and tosses it towards the timekeeper. David smirks and points to the fans, then slaps his chest a few times and points up towards the sky, closing his eyes and saying a short prayer. David leaps down from the corner and immediately turns to sit down in the same corner, ala Raven. David then rests his head on the second turnbuckle pad as his theme fades and the crowd continues cheering.
vs. 
Slayton has most of the control throughout the match, delivering signature moves like a Short-Arm Clothesline, Samoan Drop, Sit-Out Facebuster, Jumping Elbowdrop, Triple Suplex, Dragon Sleeper. Slayton goes to a corner to set up The Full Effect (Sweet Chin Music), when he notices Rochelle walking down the ramp. Her presence momentarily distracts Slayton, who gets nailed by BOOM!(Helluva Kick) for a Chaz Anix victory.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, CHAZ ANIX!
Mike Vincent: Rochelle's presence leads to another Chaz Anix victory, and a big one over the former two-time AXW Champion, but why is she aligning with Anix?
Cole Haywood: It's the start of something beautiful, Mike. Embrace it.
"Everywhere I Go" rings through the arena once more, with Anix exiting the ring, and regrouping with Andrews and Rochelle. Rochelle raises the arm of Anix before the trio make their way to the back.

Meanwhile, in Luke Mathews' office, he's talking to the AXW Tag Team Champions, Duncan Aries and Malcolm M. Mitchell.
Luke Mathews: Gentlemen, I would suggest using this break to your advantage. Get to know each other better, get to know the ins and outs of your partner. Become a well functioning tag team, because you're going to need it at Horizon, when you defend the AXW Tag Team Championships against S.O.B.
Duncan Aries: I'm sorry, against who?
Luke Mathews: S.O.B. Quentin Rage and Chopper.
Duncan Aries: Are those people that even work here?
Luke Mathews: Yes. They're the ones who took out Chicks and America.
Duncan Aries: Is that where they went? I thought things got a little less annoying around here.
Duncan looks over to Malcolm.
Duncan Aries: Still pretty annoying though.
Malcolm M. Mitchell: You know, Luke, I think this match is perfect for us. I think this is exactly what we need, this match will be the perfect vehicle to show my so-called partner what I am capable of.
Luke Mathews: Well in that case, best of luck.
The partners look over at one another before we head back to ringside.
-----
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. The AXW Championship secured around his waist.
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.
YOUR...FAITH LOST...
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.
YOU... ARE NOW...
Salvatore Pellegrino: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your AXW Champion, DAMIEN STEELE!
The crowd boos loudly and some fans try to reach out to Damien but he does nothing to acknowledge the fans. Steele reaches the ring as he walks around to the steps. And stops at the bottom steps.
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 as the words are said he takes another step slamming his boot down with each phase on a new step, till he reaches the the ring apron and wipes his feet before entering the ring and going to a corner as he removes the AXW Championship and climbs to the middle turnbuckle and hold the title in the air and shouts to the crowd. He receives a microphone.
Damien Steele: So here I stand, the AXW Champion, on the final minutes of the final show before Horizon, and I have no challenger for my title. Getting a paycheck for doing nothing is pretty sweet, but this just shows that there's nobody on this roster at my level. Here, let's try this...
Damien focuses his attention to the Alternatron.
Damien Steele: Hello? Can everyone in the back hear me? Is there anybody back there with the balls to challenge me?
A moment passes.
Damien Steele: Come on, surely there's someone back there for me to
"FIGHT!"
TO'A emerges from the curtain and makes a b-line to the ring. Damien raises his microphone back to his lips, but TO'A bats it out of his hand and drops Steele with a series of punches. TO'A starts to lift Steele for the Island Driver (Sitout side powerslam), but Steele slips out, and grabs his title on his way out of the ring. Steele is not happy about who answered the challenge as he kicks the steps, and backs up the ramp with a red face. TO'A stands in the ring and motions his hands around his waist.
Mike Vincent: Looks like we're getting a rivalry renewed. Ladies and gentlemen, goodnight, make sure to check out Horizon on the BWF Network on May 13, as well as our return to television on Spike TV on May 27!
