Hall of Fame III
An opening video package airs to "Here and Now" by Seether, highlighting memorable moments from the first eight inductees. After the first chorus, the camera swoops down in AXW Studios, where Zack Fields and Lily Luna are present.
Lily Luna: Hello everyone, thanks for tuning in to the AXW Hall of Fame Induction Presentation, I'm Lily Luna and I'm joined by Zack Fields. Zack, we're gonna have some fun tonight.
Zack Fields: That's right, we'll show you all the best moments from this year's inductees, five people get to join the likes of Duncan Aries, Sierra Starr, Heroes of Today, Justin Wyndham, Bruiser Lazzou, and Hand of Blood.
Lily Luna: Well let's get to it, shall we start announcing the inductees?
Zack Fields: Just a second, Lily. You're not wearing any pants!
Lily Luna: Uh, no, I'm wearing a dress.
Zack Fields: Well you must not have got the memo.
Lily Luna: What memo?
Zack Fields: To wear your dance pants... and nothing else tonight!
Lily Luna: No such thing as too tight!
Zack Fields: Ladies and gentlemen, the first inductees into the AXW Hall of Fame Class of 2018 are one of the most popular tag teams in AXW history, none other than two-time AXW Tag Team Champions, "Jumpin'" Jimmy Reynolds and "Thunderlips" Timmy McDermott, The Push!
We open up in Syracuse, not far from a busy intersection in town. People are walking by as a pretty ordinary table has been set up, complete with velvet cloth covering it. We hear honking horns, the hustle and bustle of people, when all of a sudden, there it is, standing before us.
A DeLorean. Not just any mind you, but one with an old fashioned phone booth strapped to the top of it. This. This is no ordinary time machine. Is that a hot tub in the back?
Anyways, out of the doors, walking in slow motion are The Push, Jimmy Reynolds and Tim McDermott. Both are clad in Member’s Only jackets covering t-shirts bearing their own team name on it in very bright, day-glo style colors. On their feet are British Knight sneakers and they are wearing Levi’s jeans. Jimmy has dark sunglasses on, Timmy with fingerless gloves that look like they came right out of the video for “Beat It.” As they get closer to the table, we see that Jimmy has a boombox over his shoulder as “Dance Pants” the team’s very own theme song, is now heard playing. They nod to one another, place the boombox down, turn it off and then crack two cheesy grins to the camera.
Jimmy Reynolds: “Ello, ello, ello, welcome Push fans from all across the nation!”
Timmy McDermott: “Feel the vibration!”
Jimmy Reynolds: “Oh I’m sure they do, Timmy, and why not? I mean what team in the ENTIRE EWS is as entertaining as The Push, huh? What team has their very own theme music that they made themselves? None of them, that’s who, and we’re here to share with you aliens and people of the future what it means to BE hip, to BE cool, to BE the 1980s! Show em’ Timmy!”
Timmy just stands there smiling, until Jimmy elbows him and he puts a huge cardboard box on the table. He fishes around in it and pulls out..a Trapper Keeper?
Timmy McDermott: “We know it’s the summer time, kiddies, but it’s never too soon to start stocking up on all your favorite school supplies, like this here Trapper Keeper, complete with picture of E.T. and that oh so lovely sound”
Timmy opens and closes the Trapper Keeper, seemingly looking like he’s going to have an orgasm.
Timmy McDermott: “Priceless, right? Don’t be a fool-“
Jimmy and Timmy: “STAY IN SCHOOL!”
Jimmy Reynolds: “Ya know, Timmy?”
Timmy McDermott: “Yes, Jimmy?”
Jimmy Reynolds: “I don’t think the people of this Tron universe are entertained.”
Timmy McDermott: “What do you mean?”
Jimmy Reynolds: “Well their televisions are flat, their phones are small enough to be an Atari cartridge, and their video games take hours just to “upload” whatever that means. I think they need some power.
Jimmy and Timmy: “NINTENDO POWER!”
And with that Jimmy pulls out a small tube television and hooks up an original Nintendo system. Holding up the gold Legend Of Zelda cartridge, as both even make angelic sounds before placing it in the console. They hit the power button.
Nothing.
Timmy and Jimmy do rock/paper/scissors to decide who is blowing in the cart, and Jimmy gets the raw end of the deal and gives it a try.
Still nothing. Jimmy is getting pretty angry at the cartridge as Timmy motions to the camera man for an aside.
Timmy McDermott: “Jimmy tends to take his video games a bit too seriously. But you know funky dudes and dudettes, speaking of things that blow, we feel that most of the teams here in AXW do in fact blow, at least in comparison to The Push. We hope we educated all you futuristic pod people with our inventions from the 80s, so until next time-“
Jimmy Reynolds: “Timmy, I got it to work!”
Timmy McDermott: “This has been a special message from-“
Both Jimmy and Timmy sing it proud and sing it loud.
“THE PUUUUUSSSSHHH!”
And with that, “Dance Pants” starts again as Jimmy and Timmy take turns playing The Legend Of Zelda before we fade to black.
We open outside the arena, where we see The Push, Jimmy Reynolds and Timmy McDermott, both glad in Freddy Goes To Hollywood Relax t-shirts, matching Cory Hart sunglasses, and jean jackets that match their Bugle Boy jeans. Jimmy has a boombox on his shoulder and hits the play button as “Beat It” by Michael Jackson plays, the two guys jamming out to the song. After about a minute, Timmy turns the boombox off.
Timmy McDermott: You heard The King Of Pop, if you’re a tag team here in AXW and you can’t cut the mustard, if you don’t know where the beef is, if you don’t just say so to sucking major butt, then you need to BEAT IT. Armada, we know you’re one of those teams, so Jimmy and I, we came up with a plan to see who really is next in line for a shot at those tag team belts.
Jimmy Reynolds: That’s right, starting on the next episode, we’re going to have ourselves a Best Of 5 Series. You win, we’ll hop right into our Pushmobile, flip the switch to 1985, and be right back to drinking Tab and drooling over The Bangles.
Timmy McDermott: Aww man, The Bangles!
Jimmy Reynolds: Awww man, TAB!
Timmy McDermott: Ahem. Anyways, but when WE win, you goons hop back onto your ship and tell Columbus and Ferdinand there’s no new world here.
Jimmy Reynolds: Until then, remember, when PUSH comes to SHOVE..
Timmy McDermott: We ALWAYS TAKE A BITE OUT OF CRIME!
Jimmy Reynolds: Nice, Timmy.
Timmy McDermott: Thanks, Jimmy. Love me some Scruff Mcgruff.
Jimmy turns the boombox on again, as the duo bob their heads to some more MJ.

We open with a shot of an arcade. The scene dissolves to the inside, where Jimmy Reynolds and Timmy McDermott are enjoying a nice game of pinball. Timmy is enjoying himself as Jimmy turns to the camera. Both men are clad in their all too familiar Member’s Only jackets and Bugle Boy jeans, both with British Knight sneakers on their feet and their Cory Hart inspired sunglasses. Jimmy is wearing a retro style “When Push Comes To Shove” t-shirt.
Jimmy Reynolds: “Push fanatics all over the globe, there’s a song that tells of a deaf, dumb, blind kid who is a pinball wizard, but you know something, Armada, you must be the ones who are deaf, dumb, and blind if you think for one second that our first match is going to dictate the rest of this series. Oh no, because Timmy and I, we may not be pinball wizards.”
Timmy steps away from the pinball machine, clad in the same t-shirt as his tag partner. He pulls his shades off and gives the camera a confident smirk.
Timmy McDermott: “We’re wrestling wizards, and tonight, Armada, we’re going to dig down deep, harness and power of Greyskull, and go HE-MAN on your asses!”
Jimmy Reynolds: “That’s right, because when push comes to shove, you punks might have the first win, but together, WE HAVE THE POWWWWEEERRR!”
Timmy McDermott: “The power to win.”
And with that, Timmy returns to his game of pinball, Jimmy cracking open a can of the retro themed Pepsi (with REAL sugar) before we fade out.

BEST OF 5 SERIES
MATCH 2
The Push vs. The Armada
The capacity crowd was ready to go for the 2nd encounter between these two awesome tag teams. The crowd seemed pretty split down the middle at first, but the hometown team of sorts, The Push, began to get a bit more over with the crowd. Timmy McDermott would elect to go first, as would Ian Winter, as the two men bumped fists and begin circling one another before locking up. McDermott would get Winter into a headlock, using some of his classic mat wrestling skills to open the contest. Winter would try to turn it into an armlock, but McDermott would counter with one of his own, turning it into an arm drag, followed by a second, and a third, followed by a nice standing dropkick reeling Winter. Fired up, McDermott would latch onto Winter again with an arm wrench before tagging in Jimmy Reynolds who would fly in with an elbow right to the shoulder of Winter, before stinging him with chops. Winter would fire back with some of his own then hit a nice spinning heel kick for a nearfall. Winter would open his arsenal with a belly to belly suplex and then a German suplex before tagging in Kyle Thomas. Thomas would hit a series of dropkicks on Reynolds and then try for a Northern Lights suplex only for Reynolds to counter and shift down, turning it into a spiking DDT. Reynolds would tag in McDermott who would hit a spinning clothesline on Thomas before knocking Winter from the apron. A running elbow to the bridge of Kyle’s nose would knock the young man down. McDermott would scale a turnbuckle and leap off with The Best Of My Love (Superfly Splash) as the crowd would pop big for the move as McDermott would get the pin and the victory for his team, as The Push even the series at 1-1!
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here are your winners, THE PUSH!!
Post Match: The Push would celebrate with their fans to the tune of their very own made theme music “Dance Pants” to a huge ovation as they bobbed their heads and danced to the music.

"PARTY LIKE A CHEESE BALL"
We open backstage, where we see all sorts of throwbacks to the 1980s, from an Alf poster, RUN DMC duo cardboard cutout, and of course, a couch that looks like it could have come out of any 80s sitcom’s family house. Sitting there, on a table, are some snacks, the throwback Pepsis, and a large bowl of cheese balls. We see Jimmy Reynolds and Timmy McDermott, just chilling on the couch as McDermott claps his hands and “It Takes Two” by Rob Base hits in the background. Jimmy and Timmy begin bobbing their heads to the music, then they do an intricate display of hand shakes, claps, and footwork, which gets a nice pop from the crowd. Reynolds picks up a cheese ball, holding it between two fingers.
Jimmy Reynolds: “You know something, Armada, the more we think about it, the more we feel you’re a lot like this cheese ball. Oh sure, you’re probably one hell of a mean party guest, but at the end of the night, kind of stale, not tasty at all, and horribly overrated. Besides, there are a million of you that look, smell, and taste the same. But not us. The Push, we’re more like-“
Timmy McDermott: “Bugles! We’re TOTALLY like Bugles.”
Jimmy Reynolds: “I was thinking more Doritos.”
Timmy McDermott: “I’m DEFINITELY Cool Ranch then. You look more like Nacho Cheese to me, man.”
Jimmy Reynolds: “I’m cooler, so I’m Cool Ranch.”
Timmy McDermott: “And who is the guy who has a Dorito’s ad poster in his bedroom, hm?”
Jimmy Reynolds: “Point made, “Cool Ranch” McDermott!”
Timmy McDermott: “Thank you, “Nacho” Reynolds!”
Jimmy Reynolds: “Man, Nacho Reynolds sounds SO lame.”
Timmy McDermott: “I know.”
Jimmy pops the cheese ball into his mouth as Timmy just continues giving the camera a cheesy and super over exaggerated smile.
Jimmy Reynolds: “Anyways, the point we’re getting at is after this series is over, we’re not going to be cheese balls, we’re going to be going straight to the top of AXW, and why, Timmy?”
Timmy McDermott: “Because we’re cool..ranch.”
Jimmy Reynolds: “Yeah..and because we’re TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL!”
Timmy claps his hands again as “Walk Like An Egyptian” by The Bangles plays, and of course, Jimmy and Timmy do the dance as the camera pans over to the cheese balls before returning ringside.

The lights dim as a laser light show begins, “Dance Pants” by The Push hits, Jimmy and Timmy emerging to a nice pop from the crowd. Timmy has a boombox over his shoulder, Jimmy dancing around and bringing the crowd to their feet.
Salvatore Pellegrino: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall, and is Match Three of the Best of Five Series. Introducing first, from Scranton, Pennsylvania, at a combined weight of 395 pounds, the team of "Jumpin'" Jimmy Reynolds and "Thunderlips" Timmy McDermott, THE PUUUUSH!
They dance towards one another and then turn straight ahead towards the ring, Jimmy slapping hands with fans and blowing kisses to the ladies as they sing along with the song. Timmy places the boombox on the outside as they turn to the crowd, waving their arms and getting the crowd behind them. Scaling turnbuckles, The Push looks fired up before leaping off and giving each other a double high five. “Dance Pants” fades out as they look ready for battle.
"Call To The Warrior" hits as the camera shifts to the stage where Kyle Thomas and Ian Winter make their arrival. They both observe the crowd for a few seconds before looking back at each other and giving one another a smirk.
Salvatore Pellegrino: And their opponents, from Phoenix, Arizona, at a combined weight of 375 pounds, Kyle Thomas and Ian Winter, THE ARRRMAAAADAAAA!
The two then continue down to the ring. They both simultaneously slide into the ring and pull themselves up. Ian then makes his way over to the turnbuckles where he proceeds to sit atop of them. Kyle walks over and leans against the ropes next to him. The two then bump fists and wait for the match to begin.
BEST OF FIVE SERIES
MATCH THREE
The Push vs. The Armada
Fans of both teams were on the edge of their seats for this one as Jimmy Reynolds and Kyle Thomas would start things off with a friendly handshake before circling one another, each looking for an opening. Thomas would try to strike first, but it was countered by Reynolds who began peppering Kyle with some right hands, followed by a spinning back fist, and then a spinning clothesline. Reynolds would then connect off an irish whip with a nice dropkick, before bringing Thomas into the Push corner, tagging in Timmy McDermott, who would nail a running elbow to the temple of Thomas, and then hit a Polish Hammer for a two count. McDermott would try for a back body drop, but it was countered into a swinging neckbreaker. Thomas would go on the offensive, hitting a standing dropkick, followed by a Northern Lights suplex with a bridge for a two count. McDermott would then find himself in the Armada corner, as Thomas would then tag in Ian Winter who would hit a spinning heel kick on McDermott, followed by a bicycle kick nearly taking the technician’s head off for a long two count. Winter would measure Timmy for a spear, only to get clunked in the head with a high knee. McDermott would crawl to his corner, tagging in Reynolds to big cheers from the crowd! Reynolds wasn’t messing around, knocking Thomas from the apron before hitting The Boom Box(Ghetto Blaster) on Winter for another long two count in the match. Reynolds would then hit a missile dropkick, but the pin was broke up by Thomas, who was then yanked out of the ring by McDermott, the two trading blows on the outside. Inside the ring, Reynolds would bring Winter to his feet, only to get stunned with a jawbreaker, and then a spear that almost took Reynolds out of his vintage British Knights! Winter would go for the pin, but Reynolds would kick out! Winter would try for an electric chair drop, but some shots from Reynolds to the skull of Winter would drop Jimmy into a victory roll pin, getting the 1,2,2 and the lead in this best of 5 series!
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here are your winners, THE PUUUSH!!
Post Match: A dejected Armada stands in the ring, as The Push celebrate on the outside with their adoring fans, McDermott even doing a little breakdancing on the ramp to a nice pop from the crowd.

MATCH FOUR

The Push move to 3-1, starting to cause some tension within the Armada. The match was won with When Push Comes to Shove.
"Dance Pants" would start the show off, as the duo known as the Push made their way down to the ring.
Jimmy Reynolds: Now, I'm no mathematician, but we're up three to one in this Best of Five series, and seeing as this is supposed to be Match Five, I believe there is a zero percent chance of the Armada winning.
Timmy McDermott: That sounds about right, but we're good sports and we're willing to go through with this final match. What do you say, Armada? Winner take all?
After a few seconds, "Call of the Warrior" takes over and the Armada make their way down to the ring.
BEST OF FIVE SERIES
MATCH FIVE
The Push vs. The Armada
In the Push corner, Jimmy Reynolds looked to start for his team, while Kyle Thomas would start for the Armada. However, as soon as the bell rings, Ian Winter would drop from the apron and Kyle Thomas would exit the ring, the latter snatching a microphone.
Kyle Thomas: We're done. We're done with this stupid series, we're done with AXW. Consider this a forfeit.
Kyle drops the microphone on the floor as the Armada exit the arena to the side of the stage.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here are your winners as a result of a forfeit, THE PUSH!
"Dance Pants" replays as the Push shrug and do a celebratory dance, as the cameras head backstage.

We go backstage where we see the team of Corbin Mason and Jamie Fuller, sitting at a table, playing with cards.
Jamie Fuller: Got any threes?
Corbin Mason: Nope, go fish.
Jamie Fuller: Hey, do you hear something?
The two stop what they're doing, trying to listen for a vague sound. There is a sound, and it seems to be getting closer. It's none other than the Push, carrying a boombox, playing the soundtrack from Back to the Future. Jamie stops them.
Jamie Fuller: Hey, guys, got a moment?
Timmy McDermott: What's going on? We were just on our way to get some cheese puffs while we jam out to some Bon Jovi. Wanna join us?
Corbin Mason: I love Bon Jovi! Especially that song "Lost Highway," that's one of my favorites.
The Push look at each other in confusion.
Jimmy Reynolds: They don't have a song called that... do they?
Timmy McDermott pulls out Bon Jovi's first four albums, seemingly from out of nowhere, looking at their track listing.
Timmy McDermott: Nope. No such song. I got all their albums right here!
Corbin Mason: They have more albums than that though...
Jamie Fuller: Look, that sounds fun and all, but what we would really love is a match against you guys. You guys are one of the hottest tag teams in AXW, and just being able to get into the ring with you would help put us on the map.
Jimmy Reynolds: Sure, we'll wrestle you, but are you sure about not wanting to jam out to Bon Jovi?
Corbin Mason: I will! I love cheese puffs!
Jamie Fuller: I'm good.
Corbin gets up from his chair and exits with the Push, while Jamie looks on. Jamie decides to look at Corbin's hand.
Jamie Fuller: He did have threes!
With that, we go back to the ring.

TAG TEAM MATCH
Corbin Mason & Jamie Fuller vs. The Push
Jimmy and Jamie start the match off for their respective teams, and shake each other's hands, before going in for an old fashioned test of strength. Both men nearly the same size, it's a pretty even contest. Jamie goes for a side headlock, which is countered into a back suplex. Jamie gets right back up and hits Jimmy with a dropkick, another dropkick, a third dropkick. Jamie whips Jimmy into his teams corner and tags in Corbin. The duo would take down Jimmy with a double suplex. Corbin would try a cover but Jimmy would kick out. Jimmy Reynolds now takes control of the match, taking Corbin down with several clotheslines and a ddt. Reynolds tags in McDermott. McDermott executes an arm wrench, before clotheslining Corbin to the mat. McDermott locks in a chin lock, which Corbin manages to fight out of. Corbin looks to regain control by going off the ropes, but McDermott catches him on the rebound with an arm drag. From here, there are several quick tags between the Push, wearing down Mason. Reynolds would look to finish Mason with the Boom Box, but Mason was able to duck under it. Mason would hit Reynolds with a superkick, before tagging in Fuller. Fuller came in guns blazing, hitting Reynolds with a kick flurry, that ended in a gamengiri. Fuller would lift Reynolds up and powerbomb him into a neutral corner, before actually connecting with the Small Package Driver! The crowd counting in unison with the referee, but at the very last moment McDermott is able to break it up. Mason rushes into the ring, only to be back body dropped over the top rope by McDermott. The legal man Reynolds is able to hit the Boom Box on Fuller, the crowd counting in unison as the Push get the three count.

Jamie Fuller and Corbin Mason are sat at a table, playing a game of Checkers. The Push walk up behind the chair Jamie is sitting in.

Jamie turns to address them.
Jamie Fuller: Just playing a game of Checkers. Do you want to play the winner?
While Jamie's back is turned, Corbin illegally moves a few of his pieces.
Jimmy Reynolds: We were actually about to go play Super Mario Bros on my NES, but we came by to pitch something to you...
Corbin Mason: Super Mario Bros? Have you played the new Super Smash Bros yet? I just got a 3DS and I've been playing it a lot lately.
The Push look at each other in confusion.
Jimmy Reynolds: Super... Smash Bros?
Timmy McDermott: What in the world is a "3DS"?
Jimmy Reynolds: We'll discuss this later... look, we came by because we want to wrestle you again, in two weeks at Supershow III.
Timmy McDermott: But, we decided we don't want a normal match. We know you're a hungry team who are capable of being top contenders.
Jimmy Reynolds: Which is why we want to wrestle you in a Two out of Three Falls Match.
Jamie Fuller: Sounds good. We'll see you at the Supershow.
The two teams shake hands. The Push leave and Fuller and Mason go back to their game. Fuller notices the board seems different.
Jamie Fuller: Did you move around any pieces?
Corbin Mason: Nope.
Jamie Fuller: Hm. Well, it's your turn.
In one move, Corbin eliminates the rest of Fuller's pieces. Corbin jumps from his chair in celebration.
Corbin Mason: WOO! CHECKERS OR WRECKERS, BABY! YEAH!
Corbin pulls out a couple bottles of Powerade, seemingly from out of nowhere, and pours them on himself like a NASCAR victory lane celebration. With that, we head back to commercial.
Jimmy Reynolds: What's going on, boys?
Jamie turns to address them.
Jamie Fuller: Just playing a game of Checkers. Do you want to play the winner?

Salvatore Pellegrino: This next tag team contest is set for two out of three falls!
The lights dim as "Kick It In Sticks" by Brantley Gilbert begins to play over the P.A. system and as the lyrics kick in, Corbin Mason storms out from behind the curtain and lets out a loud yell of "YEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAW!!!" as the fans cheer for him loudly as he yells out to the crowd "CHECKERS OR WRECKERS, BABY!"
Salvatore Pellegrino: Introducing first, from Nitro, West Virginia, weighing in at 205 pounds, "The Trailer Park Kid" COOORBIIIIIIIIN MAAAAAASOOOOOOON!
He shakes his head at the positive response of the crowd as he smiles at the fans and tags hands with them before finally running into the ring, sliding under the apron, charging to the nearest turnbuckle, pounding on his chest like Tarzan and letting out another loud "YEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAW!!!" and pointing to the fans hollering out "THAT'S RIGHT, BY GOD! THAT'S RIGHT, Y'ALL!!!" before jumping off the middle turnbuckle and running the ropes in anticipation of his partner's arrival.
“The Toughest Sport” by TP and Esco plays as Jamie Fuller pushes through the curtain, slapping hands with the fans that reach out on both side.
Salvatore Pellegrino: And his partner, from Paradise, Florida, weighing in at 205 pounds, "The Thrilla" JAMIIIIIIIEEE FUUUULLLEEEEEEERRRR!
Nodding his head to the music, he makes his way to the ring, then slides in under the bottom rope. He climbs the tv side ropes, and bends low before kicking his head back and rising his hands and pointer fingers overhead with a smile. Jumping off the ropes, he stretches out in the corner, and bounces off the ropes getting a feel.
The lights dim as a laser light show begins, “Dance Pants” by The Push hits, Jimmy and Timmy emerging to a nice pop from the crowd. Timmy has a boombox over his shoulder, Jimmy dancing around and bringing the crowd to their feet. They dance towards one another and then turn straight ahead towards the ring, Jimmy slapping hands with fans and blowing kisses to the ladies as they sing along with the song.
Salvatore Pellegrino: And their opponents, from Scranton, Pennsylvania, at a combined weight of 395 pounds, "Jumpin'" Jimmy Reynolds and "Thunderlips" Timmy McDermott, THE PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSH!
Timmy places the boombox on the outside as they turn to the crowd, waving their arms and getting the crowd behind them. Scaling turnbuckles, The Push looks fired up before leaping off and giving each other a double high five. “Dance Pants” fades out as they look ready for battle.
TAG TEAM MATCH
TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS
Corbin Mason & Jamie Fuller vs. The Push
This friendly rivalry begins with each team shaking hands, before Timmy McDermott of The Push, and Jamie Fuller, elect to go first for their teams, McDermott strutting a bit and getting the crowd to their feet before locking up with Fuller. Timmy snatches Fuller into a headlock, and Fuller pushes McDermott off, hitting the mat as Timmy sprints over, but on the rebound, Timmy is hit with a dropkick square on the jaw taking him down. Fuller then begins lighting up The Push member with some solid kicks, backing him into the corner before tagging in Corbin Mason. The crowd is pretty split down the middle, but everyone seems impressed with the early showing from Mason and Fuller here as Corbin hits a scoop slam and a quick snap legdrop for a two count. Mason keeps the pressure on, hitting a standing dropkick, a snap suplex, and a Rolling Thunder senton splash for another two count on McDermott. Mason looks ready to end this first fall, hooking McDermott for a cobra clutch bomb, but Timmy fights out, dropping Mason with a swinging neckbreaker. McDermott lays on the mat before crawling over to his corner and tagging in his partner, Jimmy Reynolds.
Reynolds is firing on all cylinders, opening up with elbow smashes to Mason, followed by a flying cross body for a two count. Reynolds springs into action with a running back elbow followed by a nice suplex and an implant DDT for a two count. Reynolds whips Mason into the corner following it up with a dropkick in the corner. Mason is in trouble as he’s hit with a series of punches in the corner, the crowd counting along with Reynolds, before Mason actually drops Reynolds into the corner buckle, creating some separation. Mason is crawling to the corner, but Reynolds stops him dragging him back by the ankle. Reynolds tries to slap on a figure four but is cradled and nearly pinned by Mason! Corbin is now on the offense as he whips Reynolds into the ropes and lowers his head for a back body drop, but Reynolds stops dead and with a grin hits Mason with a surprise Get Your Dance Pants On (Shake, Rattle, And Roll Neckbreaker) as he goes for the cover, McDermott clotheslining Fuller off the apron.
Salvatore Pellegrino: The winners of the first fall…THE PUSH!!
The Push don’t celebrate long as McDermott heads to the outside for Fuller, Reynolds looking to hit his finishing neckbreaker on Mason again, but in the swing, Mason frees himself just enough to hit a nice backslide on Reynolds and manages to get the sudden pin!
Salvatore Pellegrino: The winners of the second fall..CORBIN MASON AND JAMIE FULLER!!
Outside the ring, Fuller whips McDermott into the steel steps and heads onto the apron, yelling for the tag as Mason gladly obliges. Reynolds and Fuller begin exchanging chops, Fuller getting the upper hand. Fuller tries to whip Reynolds into the corner, but it’s reversed, but Fuller bounces right out with a sudden clothesline that almost takes Reynolds’ head clean off! The crowd is on their feet as Fuller looks for his Small Package Driver finisher, but Reynolds begins firing off elbows. Both men hit the ropes and are thinking the same thing, hitting a cross body block, taking them both down. McDermott is back on the apron as both partners are calling for a tag. Both Fuller and Reynolds make the tag as McDermott and Mason exchange blows, rights and lefts, nearly getting a clear advantage until Mason swings wildly, McDermott hitting his Boom Box (Ghetto Blaster) to the back of Mason’s head. Fuller enters the ring, but Reynolds is right there with a dropkick that takes him out of the ring.
The crowd on their feet as McDermott raises Mason high in the air, Reynolds jumping off with a clothesline as When Push Comes To Shove(Doomsday Device) finishes off Mason for the pin and the victory for The Push.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here are your winners of the third fall and the match…THE PUSH!!!
Post-Match: “Dance Pants” blares as The Push celebrate with their fans, dancing up a storm. Fuller and Mason enter the ring, dejected as the music fades. Contemplating each other for a moment, the teams once again shake hands, as The Push raise the arms of their adversaries in this match as the crowd erupts for the great showing by these two teams.
The lights dim as "Kick It In Sticks" by Brantley Gilbert begins to play over the P.A. system and as the lyrics kick in, Corbin Mason storms out from behind the curtain and lets out a loud yell of "YEEEEEE-HAAAAAAAW!!!" as the fans cheer for him loudly as he yells out to the crowd "CHECKERS OR WRECKERS, BABY!"

We cut backstage where we see the Push, wearing party hats, with balloons, and other festive decorations. They blow on some party horns.
Jimmy Reynolds: Happy New Year!
Timmy McDermott: Happy... wait... what year is it?
Jimmy Reynolds: Well, when you're The Push, it's always an 80's party, baby! As far as I'm concerned, we can just call this year... 1980-15!
Timmy McDermott: Happy 1980-15!
Jimmy Reynolds: Bust out your Bonkers candy and New Coke, because 1980-15 will be the year of the Push!
Timmy McDermott: That's right, we may have come short against Southern Comfort, but we're gonna correct that in 1980-15, when we become the AXW Tag Champions!
Jimmy Reynolds: By the end of this year, we will hold gold, and hopefully sooner rather than later.
The duo blow their party horns once more before we head back to ringside.

SINGLES MATCH
Jimmy Reynolds vs. Connor Riordan
The newcomer looked to make a name for himself and his tag team, coming out of the gate hitting Reynolds with a rolling European uppercut. Riordan would follow up with a northern lights suplex, a roundhouse kick, and Celtic Fury. Riordan would look for a clothesline but Jimmy would duck it, and hit the Boom Box for the victory!
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, JIMMY REYNOLDS!

Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, JIMMY REYNOLDS!
We open backstage, where we see Timmy McDermott of The Push typing away on a laptop computer looking amazed as images flash before his eyes. His tag partner and best buddy, Jimmy Reynolds, sporting a Levis denim jacket and sipping from a can of Throwback Edition Pepsi pulls up a chair next to him.
Jimmy Reynolds: “What are you up to, man?”
Timmy McDermott: “This is amazing! This is stupendous! This is cool beans!”
Jimmy Reynolds: “What is..uh, all of those things, Timmy?"
Timmy McDermott: “It’s this! This is the greatest invention these Pod people of 1980-15 have ever created! There’s photos, some appropriate for work, some not so appropriate, there’s a website that’s all ridiculous videos of singing cats, and did you know, they even have a website where you collect friends.”
Jimmy Reynolds: “Like in a jar or something?”
Timmy McDermott: “Better yet, inside a book!”
Jimmy Reynolds: “What do they call this crazy contraption?”
Timmy McDermott: “They call it the Internet. It was created in the 1990s.”
Suddenly Timmy and Jimmy share a laugh, then roll their eyes.
Jimmy and Timmy: “Psh, the 90s!”
Jimmy Reynolds: “So I was eating breakfast at the hotel today and there was this cereal there called French Toast Crunch. You ever hear of it?”
Timmy McDermott: “Sounds delicious! Wait, is it from the same people who made Cinnamon Toast Crunch?”
Jimmy Reynolds: “One in the same, why?”
Timmy McDermott: “Well, nothing, except everybody knows about the great Cinnamon Toast Crunch murders.”
The crowd laughs as Jimmy scrunches up his face in bewilderment.
Jimmy Reynolds: “What are you talking about?”
Timmy McDermott: “Oh, come on now, Jimmy, you remember, back when we were kids. There used to be 3 bakers on a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and then, one day, without warning, there was only one, Wendell.”
Jimmy Reynolds: “Oh yeah, I remember. I thought that was just a marketing decision to axe those two other bakers.”
Timmy McDermott: “Oh sure, that’s what they want you to believe, but you remember what happened to Wendell after that, he got these crazy eyes, started going off about cinnamon and sugar, it was code, Jimmy, for where he buried the bodies of the other two bakers. Then of course those crazy little Toast Crunch monsters came one night, barged into Wendel’s room and exacted revenge on him by pretty much disemboweling him and leaving him for dead. Fun times.”
The crowd is in hysterics right now laughing as Jimmy can only manage to say…
Jimmy Reynolds: “How do you know this?”
Timmy McDermott: “Easy, the Pod People’s invention, The Internet, told me.”
Jimmy Reynolds: “You know, there’s been a lot of mysterious disappearances as it relates to cereal box characters. I mean, The Soggies from Cap N’ Crunch, those bakers, and even the cop and the crook from Cookie Crisp. You don’t think The Internet has all the answers to those, do you?”
Timmy McDermott: “I think we should find out, Jimmy. We could be heroes. We could save the day! Taylor Swift may even go out with us and then write a song about us when we break up with her!”
Jimmy Reynolds: “Who?”
Timmy McDermott: “My new girlfriend I found on the Internet.”
Jimmy facepalms as Timmy keeps tapping away on the keyboard as we return to ringside.
Jimmy Reynolds: “What are you up to, man?”

Bruce Yuganagi, Ian McTavish, and Jimmy Reynolds start the match. The three look around at each other, waiting to see who's gonna make the first move. Bruce bites first by attacking Ian McTavish. Jimmy teams up with Bruce for the time being, the two whipping Ian into the ropes and hitting a double hip toss to the Kingdom Crippler. Bruce brings Ian to his feet, bringing him to the Yuganagi corner and tagging in Chad. The Yuganagis execute Bro Down to McTavish, which gets a two count. Jimmy Reynolds is hanging back for the time being, saving energy as the other teams go at it. McTavish tries to quickly get back on the offensive by running at Chad, Chad counters by throwing Ian into the air for a back body drop, and on the way down Jimmy Reynolds catches McTavish with a powerbomb! The impressive maneuver only got a two count as the Aerial Argyle managed to kick out. Chad brings McTavish back to the Yuganagi corner and tags Bruce back in. Chad lifts McTavish onto his shoulders, while Bruce runs across the ring and knocks Connor Riordan off of the apron, before running back to his brother and the Yuganagis hit McTavish with Starrstrukk! Bruce covers McTavish for a three count.
Jen Brunelli: Ian McTavish has been eliminated!
Mike Vincent: Now this puts the Kingdom Cripplers at an immediate disadvantage. In order for them to win, Connor Riordan needs to overcome both Yuganagi Twins and both members of the Push.
Cole Haywood: If I were Connor Riordan, I'd hang back for a while and let the other two teams weaken each other.
Connor does not heed Cole's advice. Instead, Connor slides into the ring, and dropkicks Chad off of the apron so hard that he hits the barricade. Bruce tries to run at Connor, but Connor hits a dropkick to the knee of Bruce. Connor then locks on Crippling Defeat, with Bruce Yuganagi tapping out.
Jen Brunelli: Bruce Yuganagi has been eliminated!
Mike Vincent: Looks like Connor wants to eliminate the rest of the teams himself.
Cole Haywood: Good on him. He's looking to make sure that the other tag teams here in AXW are on notice that the Kingdom Cripplers are going to be a team to be reckoned with.
Mike Vincent: Well, the Push are at an advantage here since they've been conserving energy and still have both members.
Connor Riordan immediately brings his attention to Jimmy Reynolds, with Jimmy bringing Connor to the mat with a small package, getting a close two count. Both get up and Connor tries to hit a short arm clothesline, but Jimmy ducks it, catches Connor with a back kick, and plants him with a DDT. Jimmy finally tags in Timmy McDermott. Jimmy gets Connor in an electric chair position, while Timmy starts to climb to the top rope, the duo looking to hit When Push Comes to Shove, but Connor reverses it by hitting an inverted hurricanrana, spiking Jimmy's head into the mat. Connor quickly then forces himself into the top rope, causing Timmy to lose his balance and fall into the ring. Connor then hits Timmy with the Killer Celtic Kick, eliminating one half of the Push.
Jen Brunelli: Timmy McDermott has been eliminated!
Chad Yuganagi finally gets into the ring and looks to take advantage of Riordan, but Riordan sees him coming and hits him with Spinal Fusion, pinning the final Yuganagi member..
Jen Brunelli: Chad Yuganagi has been eliminated!
Mike Vincent: Our first full team is out of the competition.
Cole Haywood: Connor Riordan is cleaning house!
Connor brings Jimmy back to his feet, Jimmy shoves Connor away to get some separation, before nailing him with a superkick, and follows that up with the Boom Box! Jimmy pins Connor.
Jen Brunelli: Here are your winners, and receiving an AXW Tag Team Championship Match, THE PUUUUUUSH!
The Push celebrate their big win as we fade to black.
We see Jimmy Reynolds and Timmy McDermott, the Push, in a training montage. Both men clad in shorts, a tank top over a white t-shirt, headbands, and wrist bands. We see Timmy jump roping, only to trip on the rope. We see Jimmy swallow a glass of raw eggs, only for him to regurgitate them off screen. Cut to Timmy trying to do sit-ups, but struggling. Cut to Jimmy on a treadmill in a gym, when an attractive woman walks by him. Distracted by the woman, Jimmy comically goes flying off the treadmill. Cut to Timmy caressing a cardboard cut-out of Taylor Swift. Cut to both men running up a very tall set off stairs, both men passing out well before they reach the top. Cut to commercials.
Singles Match
Inferno (w/Jason) vs. Jimmy Reynolds (w/Timmy Reynolds & Cardboard Cutout of Taylor Swift)
Jimmy Reynolds, still in the same gear from the "training montage", locks up with one half of the AXW Tag Team Champions. Jimmy locks in a side headlock, and Inferno just shoves him off as if it was nothing. Jimmy runs at Inferno and gets taken down by a shoulder tackle. Inferno goes off the ropes, Jimmy gets back up and looks to intercept Inferno with a dropkick, but Inferno stopped at the ropes. Jimmy gets up only to be taken down by a one armed swinging neckbreaker. Inferno stays in control of Jimmy, hitting a twisting half nelson legsweep, wrist-clutch exploder suplex, and the Knell. Inferno sets Jimmy on the top rope, setting up for Laceration, but Jimmy counters it by hitting a spider suplex, throwing Inferno to the mat while staying on the top rope. Except Inferno managed to flip and land on his feet. Inferno looks to attack Jimmy, but Jimmy jumps off the top rope and over Inferno, landing behind him, and in one swift motion hits the Boom Box! Jimmy gets the three count.
Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, JIMMY REYNOLDS!
Mike Vincent: What a win for The Push as they head into their tag title match at Supershow V!
Cole Haywood: Inferno was obviously distracted by the Taylor Swift cutout at ringside!
Mike Vincent: Well, if that's the case, which I doubt, Hand of Blood might be in trouble then because Timmy McDermott promises the real Taylor Swift will be in their corner at the Supershow!
Jason enters the ring and Jimmy rolls out. The Push back up the ramp, celebrating, as Timmy raises Jimmy's hand, Timmy's other arm is around the cutout of Taylor, of course.
