The screen is black before the AWG.com letters appear. The chorus of “Drilled a Wire Through My Cheek” plays in the background as the screens slowly fades to a view of Whataburger Field, in beautiful Corpus Christi, Texas. The stadium is packed and the camera pans around before cutting to the center of the ring.

*Special guest host Steven King, a Corpus Christi radio personality, stands in the middle of the ring with a mike in hand.*
STEVEN KING: Ladies and gentleman, we'd like to thank you very much for making this night truly special for all of us!
*Crowd cheers*
STEVEN KING: The Authentic Wrestling Gods, teaming up with the Corpus Christi Hooks and tonight's sponsor Whataburger, are all pleased to announce that we have set...a brand-new Whataburger Field attendance record--of 11,021; thank you very much!
*Crowd goes nuts as a camera points to the new figure being shown on the stadium's main video board.*
NORMAN ASNER: On June 11, 2006, a rehab start by the legendary Roger Clemens drew over nine thousand people to this spectacular ballpark; now almost two years to the day, the AWG has shattered this stadium's attendance record. There were thousands more that had to be actually turned away because the tickets for this event had sold out in less than thirty minutes after they went on sale. Now you're a part of history if you're logging on and watching this event--only on AWG.com.
*The opening part of "One Vision" suddenly begins to play, causing the record crowd to leap to its feet and go crazy. The readings from a noise dosimeter--which is shown in the bottom-right corner of the screen for AWG.com viewers--begin to flash off the scale. A huge blast of fireworks go off from the Harbor Bridge as Jack Gaither begins to make his way towards the ring; sporting a #22 Roger Clemens Hooks jersey, Jack makes his way through the crowd, high-fiving everyone he meets until he gets into the ring. The stadiums main video board displays "WELCOME HOME JACK."*
NORMAN: The number on the bottom-right corner of your screen represents readings from a noise dosimeter, which measures the amount of decibels one is exposed to; when "The Golden Eagle's" music began to play, our dosimeter went off the scale. Folks, this place is louder than a jet engine! This is what the fans here in Corpus Christi have been waiting for--to see their own hometown hero in action, and let me tell you this: since being named as the challenger to Sage Christensen's AWG World Title last week, Jack Gaither over the past few days has become the subject of a nationwide media frenzy. Numerous cable and satellite outlets have reported record buys for our next pay-per-view Exodus, which is only less than a week away! Let's hear what Jack Gaither has for all of us watching on AWG.com.
*Jack stands in the ring with mike in hand*
JACK: A lot of people want to know one thing: what were "The Golden Eagle" and his beautiful girlfriend Sam doing in Dollar McDougal's office last week? Well, it isn't that simple, but I'm gonna do the best I can to explain it to you. You see, the guy in Dollar McDougal's office last week wasn't Dollar McDougal, but rather, it was one of his attorneys.
*a mix of crowd cheers and jeers*
JACK: First of all, I told the attorney straight up: I don't believe anything that comes out of Dollar McDougal's mouth, but...I'll listen to just about anybody. Second, the attorney had in his hand...an incentive from Dollar McDougal himself!
*crowd buzzes*
JACK: You see, the rumor mills have been ringing off the hook for a week now, and one of those rumors flying around was that there was going to be..a hostile takeover!
*crowd roars*
JACK: The only thing that Dollar wanted me to do for him is to make sure that a hostile takeover DOESN'T happen, and he wants--
*P.O.D.'s "Boom" blares from the loudspeakers, and a very familiar face walks out toward the ring; it is none other than Academy graduate "Mean Mike" Masterson! The crowd boos heavily as Mike holds a second microphone. Jack recognizes him and starts to speak again.*
JACK: Well, well, well. It's the one and only--
MIKE: SHUT YOUR MOUTH GAITHER!!
*crowd boos Mike vociferously*
MIKE: You just shut your big yap and let me do the talking for once. Last week, I was at my home in Tampa, Florida, and I was getting ready to watch the first-place Rays in action when I decided to flip the TV to F/X and Authenticity.
*An "ass!" chant starts up.*
MIKE: Well, what did I see? I saw you and your girl over there walking into the offices of our most hated opponent, Dollar McDougal, and you say that even though you don't trust the son-of-a-bitch, you'll listen to anybody? Well, I don't believe YOU!
*crowd boos and starts a "MEAN MIKE SUCKS!" chant*
JACK: You don't believe me Mike?
MIKE: That's right, I don't believe you one damn bit!
JACK: Well, if you don't believe me, then why don't you try your luck in kicking my ass in this very ring!?
*crowd roars*
MIKE: Hahaha...OK then...YOU'RE ON!
*The crowd goes nuts as referee Manny Herrera slides into the ring and calls for the bell. (DING!) Mike immediately goes to work on Jack Gaither, eliciting a lot of booing from the pro-Gaither crowd. However, Mike's offense is short-lived as Jack Gaither delivers a flurry to his opponent before applying the Samba Slam.*
NORMAN: "Mean Mike" has just been taught a lesson!
*Instead of going for the cover however, Jack applies the "Double Whammy"--which is the same STF-type submission hold that the late Katherine Gaither used in her only singles match. Five seconds later, "Mean Mike" can only helplessly tap out--causing the crowd to go into another frenzy.*
NORMAN: In less than a minute, Jack Gaither has beaten one of his own students and taught him a lesson in humility--by using the very same hold that the late Katherine Gaither learned from "Mean Mike" himself! If this is any indicator of how the last man standing match between Jack Gaither and Sage Christensen at Exodus is going to turn out, then we just might have a brand-new AWG World Champion!

We return backstage with TC Jagger and Travis Beckham walking backstage.
Jagger: So you all ready to go out there and make the official announcement?
Beckham: The Championship Committee agreed to the match last night, and quite honestly, I don’t think I have that hard of an act to follow.
Jagger laughs.
Jagger: I know, did you see that loser with a Clemens jersey on? So much for Gaither being a good guy, I guess he supports illegal drug use and adultery.
Beckham: Yeah, and that Mean Mike guy needs to look at the standings, the Sox are in first place right now, not the Rays.
Jagger: Yeah, it’s no surprise he looked as stupid as that Rays pitcher who threw at Coco.
Beckham: Haha yeah. Well, I’m up next.
Jagger: Alright, I’ve got some business to take care of right now anyway. Give ‘em hell.
Jagger slaps Beckham on the back and retreats back down the hallway from where they came.

We cut to the stadium when “Death March” begins to play. Travis Beckham walks out wearing a white wife-beater and jeans while holding an official AWG contract. We makes his way down to the ring and grabs a microphone before entering. He steps into the middle of the ring and begins to talk.
Beckham: Alright, I’m going to make this short and sweet. Ever since I returned to the ring, I have been waiting for my partner to return so we could take the Tag Team Titles from those incompetent champions, Criminal Intent.
The crowd boos.
Beckham: But while I waited, Max Power and Anthony Phoenix decided to show their stuff by beating Dynasty 2.0. Not exactly an enormous feat, but it’s a win nonetheless.
The crowd boos louder as Beckham puts down Jack Gaither.
Beckham: So instead of getting our shot at Criminal Intent, I went out and got the Championship Committee to book the match for Exodus. This Sunday, the teamof Max Power and Anthony Phoenix will go head to head with the Tag Team that will be taking over AWG…Murder For Hire!
“Death March” begins to play and Beckham quickly exits the ring. He makes his way towards the backstage curtain before turning around as the music quiets.
Beckham: And if you are still wondering who my partner is, lets just say that he’s no stranger to Tag Team gold.
Beckham drops the mic and walks backstage.
Jari Pulaski: Well that was quite intersesting. Who do you guys think his partner is?
Tommy Veot: I have an idea, but I don’t want to spoil anything.
Jari Pulaski: You don’t know jack.

Tommy Veot: Let’s get rolling with yet another match.
Stormin' Norman: A newcomer, James Cartwright, already in the ring, making his debut against a man who seems to be off to a rough start here in AWG…..
Jari Pulaski: ….. rough nothing, It’s my boy.
Tommy Veot: Yea, whatever.
“Survival of the Sickest” by Saliva plays and After a few moments Johnny Knuckles comes walking out and stares at the crowd for a quick second and grins. He makes his way down to ringside. Before entering the ring, he takes off his silk shirt, glasses, italian style hat and gold chain.
Jari Pulaski: It’s because morons like you count him out.
Tommy Veot: You want to wipe his ass too?
Jari Pulaski: Shut up!!
The ref calls for the bell as Knuckles charges Cartwright with a forearm to the face knocking him down. Knuckles grabs him by the head forcing him up and lands a couple right hands then whips him off the ropes; connecting with a back elbow as he races back.
Stormin' Norman: Knuckles wasting absolutely no time in taking it to Cartwright.
Jari Pulaski: Welcome to AWG baby HA HA….
Knuckles picks Cartwright up as he throws a couple right hands at Knuckles. He boots Knuckles in the gut then bounces off the ropes just to get caught in a crushing Arn Anderson-like spinebuster.
Jari Pulaski: Ouch, betcha he didn’t see that one coming.
Stormin' Norman: No arguments there.
Knuckles begins stomping away at Cartwright’s chest. He takes a step back and as Cartwright starts to get up, Knuckles runs over and stomps on his knuckles as he grabs his hands screaming in pain. Knuckles kicks Cartwright in the gut and lifts him up in a dominator-like fashion in mid air. Knuckles looks to the back while still holding Cartwright and points. A couple seconds later, he spins Cartwright over and spikes him head first with an inverted ariel DDT.
Jari Pulaski: HOLY HELL!! Did you just see that? They don’t call him the innovator for nothing.
Stormin' Norman: At this point, Knuckles is just toying with Cartwright; possibly using him to send a message to Jagger.
Jari Pulaski: Definitely. That will be one war I’m looking forward to seeing.
Knuckles signals for the end by cutting his throat with his thumb. He picks a lifeless Cartwright up in a torture rack position and spikes him down with a reverse death valley driver.
Stormin‘ Norman: There it is, the Broken Promise.
Knuckles goes for the cover as the ref counts:
1 . . . 2 . . . . 3 The ref calls for the bell.
Tommy Veot: An easy win here for Knuckles. Will it be as easy at Exodus?
Jari Pulaski: Hell yes it will.

Knuckles is backstage in front of his locker room door talking on his cell with his old friend Jon Plex.
Knuckles: Ya Plex, did ya see that?
Plex: Sure did kid, that message was loud and clear. Let’s just hope that Jagger’s dumb ass was smart enough to get it.
Knuckles: That douche screwed me out of two title shots here and I still get one. What does that say about me? That I’m that damn good.
Plex: Aint it the truth HA. Listen kid, I gotta’ get back to runnin’ the restaurant for ya while your gone. Hit me back later.
Knuckles: Ok, later Plex.
Knuckles Hangs up. He walks into his locker room to find it covered wall to wall with posters and T.C Jagger autographed memorabilia. The look on Knuckles face instantly infuriates him as he picks up one of the pictures as it reads, “To my number one fan, hang in there and keep your chin up Knuckles. You’ll win someday.” Knuckles, in a fit of rage; rips it apart and starts demolishing his own locker room. Tossing chairs, paper flying.
JAGGER!!!!
Knuckles screams as he continues to destroy the stuff Jagger left behind. Suddenly he stops. “He wants to break into my room and start crap with me? Oh, it’s pay back time.” Knuckles leaves the room.

We cut back to the arena.
A local indy wrestler not even worthy of an introduction is waiting in the ring as "Sorry, you're not a winner" by Enter Shikari begins to blast over the P.A. The crowd explodes a moment later as the world champ walks out from behind the curtain with the title around his waist and a mic in hand. He wastes no time getting down to the ring and as soon as he slides in the lights come back on and the music stops.
Sage Christensen: In 6 short days, I make good on my promise to grant the Golden Eagle the opportunity of a lifetime.
The crowd gets even louder.
Sage Christensen: But tonight, just for the benefit of those loyal AWG fans in attendance, I'm going to grant the same opportunity to this guy.
Sage points at the man across the ring from him.
Sage Christensen: The world title will be on the line, but in order to win he's going to have to put me down for the ten count.
Sage takes off the title and hands it to the ref.
Sage Christensen: Let's get this started.
The bell rings and as soon as it does the local guy charges at the champ, Sage ducks a clothesline and as soon as his opponent turns around he superkicks him. The Violent Messiah leisurely leans against the ropes as the ref counts.
1..
2..
3..
4..
5..
6..
7..
8..
9..
10!
The bell rings again and the title is returned to Sage just almost as soon as he handed it off. He picks the mic back up.
Sage Christensen: Jack Gaither, don't mistake my kindness for weakness. You have been granted the opportunity of a lifetime not because I you have any chance of succeeding, but to prove you cant. I've beaten the strength around here, I've beaten the skill, I've beaten the speed, but you Jack, you got more heart than anyone who has ever stepped into an AWG ring...
The crowd explodes
Sage Christensen: But at Exodus, I'm going to rip it out.
"Sorry, you're not a winner" begins to play again as Sage leaves with the title held high.

We return to the stadium with Alexander Cain and AWG developmental superstar, Surge, in the ring.
Alexander Cain: The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Boston, Massachusetts…
“Water” by Breaking Benjamin begins to play. Jagger steps out from behind the curtain as blue pyros shoot up from either side of him. He makes his way down and slides into the ring. He pops up and climbs the turnbuckle, crossing his arms before pointing to himself.
Alexander Cain: Weighing 258 pounds, TC Jagger!
Jagger hops down and bounces off the ropes.
Alexander Cain: And his opponent, AWG Developmental Superstar, Surge!
Referee Donnie Duncan calls for the bell.
Stormin’ Norman: Here we go!
TC Jagger wastes no time in beating down Surge. He tosses him into a headlock and delivers a closed fist to the head. Surge falls to the mat and Jagger lifts him back to his feet before delivering a scoop slam.
Tommy Veot: Jagger getting down to business.
Jagger bounces off the ropes and returns with an elbow drop. Surge rolls around in pain before Jagger drags him to his feet again. Jagger whips Surge into the ropes and as he returns, Jagger locks in the full nelson.
Jari Pulaski: Well, it’s over now. Tough luck for the new guy.
Jagger tightens the hold and then delivers a massive Full Nelson Slam. Jagger hooks the leg and goes for the pin as Duncan makes the count.
One…
Two…
Three!
*Ding Ding*
Alexander Cain: Here is your winner, TC Jagger!!!
Jagger throws his arms in the air in celebration. He exits the ring and begins to head backstage.
Stormin’ Norman: Well that was a hell of a showing by TC Jagger, I can’t wait to see him in action this Sunday at…Oh My! Look!
As TC Jagger is celebrating before heading backstage, Johnny Knuckles appears behind him and clocks him over the back of the head with the lid of a trash can.
Tommy Veot: Knuckles is here to deliver some payback!
Jari Pulaski: I knew he wouldn’t let that rat get away with messing up his stuff.
Jagger falls to the ground and Knuckles begins to stomp away. Jagger scrambles away and makes it to his feet.. Jagger hops the barricade and begins to make his way through the crowd who have seats on the stadium turf.
Tommy Veot: Jagger has taken off through the seats!
Knuckles follows Jagger into the stands. Jagger quickly takes a small cup of beer from a fan and turns, tossing it into the face of Knuckles. Jagger follows up with a clothesline, laying Knuckles out amongst the fans. Jagger picks Knuckles up and begins to drag him toward the barrier between the field and the stadium seats. Jagger grabs Knuckles by the back of the head and attempts to slam it on the small barrier. Knuckles throws up his hands and prevents himself from slamming face-first. Knuckles reverses and slams Jagger into the barrier. He tosses Jagger over into the stadium and follows.
Stormin’ Norman: This fight has found it’s way into the stadium seats.
Knuckles throws a few punches and Jagger stumbles down the ramp towards the entrance to the stadium.
Jari Pulaski: Somebody see if they can get a camera outside!!!
After a few seconds, the camera cuts to the Front Gate of the stadium. Knuckles comes down the ramp and turns his head, looking around for Jagger. He takes a few steps out and Jagger pops out from behind the souvenir stand with the tray used to carry drinks in his hand. He slams the tray over the back of Knuckles and sends him to the concrete. Jagger picks Knuckles up and whips him into the steel fence by the entrance to the stadium. Jagger runs at Knuckles bt he moves out of the way at the last second as Jagger crashes into the steel fence, knocking it down. Knuckles then picks up Jagger and drags him out into the parking lot. Knuckles delivers a forearm to the back of Jagger before rolling him onto the hood of a silver VW Jetta. Knuckles disappears off of the camera for a second and returns with a metal trash can with some garbage still spilling out of the top. Knuckles raises the trash can and slams it down. Jagger barely rolls out of the way in time as the trash can smashes the hood and windshield of the Jetta. Jagger slides off the hood and delivers a European uppercut to Knuckles, sending him flying onto a red Ford Focus parked next to the Jetta. Jagger looks around for a weapon and spots the cameraman.
Jagger: Gimme that!
Jagger rips the camera from the cameraman. We see a view of the parking lot before the feed cuts to static.
We cut back to the stadium where the commentating team sits.
Tommy Veot: Those two couldn’t wait less than a week, they had to start the battle tonight.
Jari Pulaski: Camera! We need another camera!

Tommy: Well, we’re almost done here tonight, but I believe we have one more announcement coming our way!
-”Prayer of the Refugee” by Rise Against plays. After a moment of the song, Pierce steps from behind the curtain in his baby blue suit. He struts down to the ring. Entering by his normal flip over the top rope, he lands in the center of the ring and calls for a microphone. A stage hand hands him one through the ropes.
Pierce: Last week at Authenticity, Sage and I battled one of the greatest battles in the history of AWG. He nearly hit me with his finisher, I nearly hit mine and when all was said and done, I lost.
-The crowd yells off mixed reactions.
Pierce: That’s right, I lost…I lost… BY COUNT OUT!!!!!
-The crowd then takes it side and begins to boo.
Pierce: What kind of half-assed champion wins a tournament by a count out? Sage Christensen, that’s who. And if you all remember right, in his quarter finals match against Anthony Phoenix, he went out to prevent the count out. Now, I know some of you out there are wondering, “if he did it once, why did he not do it again?”
-The crowd cheers to the question. Pierce pauses with the microphone close to his face.
Pierce: As always, “The Adrenaline Rush” has all of your answers and the answer is this:
-Again he pauses for dramatic effect. The crowd starts to get antsy and they yell.
Pierce: Sage…Christensen…was…scared.
-The crowd roar and Pierce begins to run around the ring with the energy that he is feeding off of. He climbs the nearest turnbuckle and begins to speak again.
Pierce: Sage was moments from his first singles defeat here. He saw his legacy pass before his eyes. So, when he inched away from the near death experience he became a desperate man. And when the opportunity knocked to walk away from the match with his record still intact…he took it. The man sacrificed his pride, he sacrificed his respect for his record. And now, for his main event pick, he has selected Jack Gaither.
-The fans pop at the mention of Jack’s name.
Pierce: Well, I’m glad you losers here love him because I do too.
-The fans begin to get behind Pierce at that comment.
Pierce: I love to beat his backside red every time I get him in the ring.
-The fans turn quick and begin to boo him.
Pierce: I have beat Jack every time I have stepped into the ring with him. So, with me obviously being the better contender, you might ask, “Why would Sage chose the easy way out, isn’t he the champ who wants the best competition and all that jazz?”. I’ll let you know again… Sage…is…scared.
-The fans still continue to boo him for remarks made about their hometown hero.
Pierce: So, since you guys asked all those questions about Sage, I’m going to ask Sage one. Sage, buddy, why don’t you come out here and show everybody that you aren’t scared? Why don’t you come out here and man up and give the real man the chance at the title? Why don’t you come here and put Pierce Cavanaugh in the main event and try to beat him like a man would?
-Pierce looks up to the ramp. He waits for Sage to enter and suddenly “Sorry Your Not a Winner” begins to play. Pierce’s eyes light up as he looks at the ramp. Then, as suddenly as the music started, it stops. “Through Fire and Flames” by Dragonforce plays and through the top curtains enters Rob DiPietro holding a clipboard and a microphone.
Rob: Oh Piercy, Piercy, Piercy. You think you have any room to talk about a “bad” win? Let’s roll the footage of our fight shall we?
-The replay screen features a clip from their match. Pierce slips a hold and rolls Rob up as the referee counts to three. Pierce slips out of the ring.
Rob: You see Pierce, you can’t complain. You are just as guilty.
-The fans cheer as they get behind Gaither’s tag team partner. Pierce stares speechless, still disappointed that he didn’t get Sage to come out.
Rob: But don’t worry, I won’t complain either. That’s right, because unlike you, who comes out here and bitches about not getting what he wants, I did something about it. I went straight to the championship committee. They think me and you ought to have a rematch.
-Pierce begins to pace the ring in rage. He pulls at his hair.
Rob: So, Pierce, at Exodus, it’s me and you …FOR THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE WORLD TITLE!!!!
-Pierce’s hands slide out of his hair and down to his sides. A smile crosses his face as he stares out at Rob.
Rob: You smile now Pierce, because unlike last time, you won’t be able to roll me up.
-The fans cheer as they anticipate a great announcement.
Rob: Because this match will be a Table Match!
-The fans cheer wildly as “Through Fire and Flames” plays and Rob and Pierce stare each other down. Finally Rob makes his way backstage as the camera focuses on Pierce Cavanaugh in the ring. The scene fades to black and then to the AWG.com logo.
