MWL Redline - October 3, 2007
"Right now, Stevan, I don't think so. I'm even doing this tonight to teach Jim Norris some respect." Chad answered. "For the past three months I've watched him fight different challengers for the Lightweight title, and not once has he shown any respect. Well, tonight, that changes. Tonight, Jim Norris, the FaceCracker will set you straight!"
"Now, Chad, in the past, you pursued championships, so why not now? Why not challenge Jim Norris for the MWL World Lightweight Championship?" Stevan asked.
"Simple. Because I don't want it. Not yet. Maybe later on, but not now. Besides, there's no point. After tonight, I'll be slipping back to the correspondent's table." Chad stated. "Now, I've got to get ready to stomp the champ." With that, Chad turned and headed toward the locker room.
"Tonight, Jim Norris and Chad Vritska in a non-title match, here on Redline!" Stevan announced.

"Nick, you're gonna be backing me up tonight, right?" Jim asked.
"What? I've got a qualifier tonight, Jimmy!" Nicholas answered. "Your match is non-title, right? Couldn't you just deal with a win, loss, whichever?"
"Piss on your qualifier!" Jim shouted.
"Jimmy, I'm in there with Red Norton and Kairez tonight. If I win the qualifier tonight, and win in the ladder match again next week, I get a shot at Genbu, either the week after, or at Extinction. In a match of my choosing! Jimmy, do you understand what that means?!" Nicholas demanded.
"Uh...not really." Jim answered.
"I could be the one to get the MWL-CAW Championship away from Genbu! The Future of MWL defeating the unstoppable Genbu! I will be a legend, Jimmy! Then, we'll be guaranteed a shot at the MWL World Tag Team Championship." Nicholas stated.
"Aah." Jim nodded.
"Now, you go and take care of Chad. I've got to go get ready for my match tonight." Nicholas stated, as Jim ran off, towards the arena.

"You think our boy'll be able to do it?" Lino asked, looking to Yugo, who had Melissa hanging on his arm.
"Of course he will! You've seen that finisher of his, right? Nobody gets back up from something like that. Especially not with a Faceplant and Superiority Complex, first. Now, Magnum's got a match tonight, so here's what we'll do..." Yugo began.
Match 1: Jim Norris v. Chad Vritska
As Chad rolled out of the ring, Jim Norris stood victorious, slinging his MWL World Lightweight Championship over his shoulder. He called for a microphone, and quickly snatched it when it was handed to him.
"Alright, Scott Froelich, the games are over, now! At Extinction, you and me, one on one, the way it should have been from the beginning!" Jim Norris shouted. "For the MWL World Lightweight Championship here, you and me, Scott, one on one, in a First Blood match! You bleed, you lose." With that, Jim threw the microphone into the crowd and stormed to the back.

"Hello, Stevan Corber here, with the former MWL World Lightweight Champion, Scott Froelich. Scott, what are your thoughts on the challenge that Jim Norris just issued?" Stevan asked.
"Well, Stevan, you see, I agree with Jim. It should have just been him and me from the beginning of our conflict a month ago. He's the one that promised me the title shot, and I should have done everything in my power to keep the belt on him at Domination. But I didn't. And the result was me losing my title after just four days!" Scott shouted.
"And are you going to accept his challenge?" Stevan asked.
"Shut up and let my say my piece, will you?" Scott snapped. "I realize that had I not opened my big mouth for another week, it would have been me and David Hitz, one on one, in that ring on Sunday. But I guess Jimmy wants his revenge for me framing him now, eh? He must want my blood on his hands pretty bad to be willing to put his title on the line for it." Scott paused, grinning, and looking to the floor. He then looked back up as he continued. "Well, fine, Jimmy, I accept. But don't expect it to be the end of this." With that, Scott walked away.
"The next MWL-CAW Contendership qualifier is next!" Stevan announced.
Match 2: MWL-CAW Contendership Qualifier - Nicholas Hunter v. Kairez v. Red Norton
"Hello, Stevan Corber here, with the winner of last week's qualifier match, Catastrophe!" Stevan announced. "Catastrophe, your opponent for next week's contendership match has been determined. It will be you and Kairez, one on one, in a ladder match. The winner will face Genbu either the following week, or at Extinction, in a match of their choice, for the MWL-CAW Championship."
"Right, Stevan! And here's the thing. I've beaten Kairez before, and next week will be no different. I'll tear Kairez apart, climb that ladder, grab the belt, and then, I'll move on to challenge Genbu before the PPV, and I will walk out the winner, and NEW MWL-CAW Champion." Catastrophe announced.
"But first, tonight, you have to go through the former MWL World Tag Team Champion, Magnum. what are your thoughts on that?" Stevan asked.
"Magnum, to me, you're nothing more than an obstacle that needs to be overcome. A nuisance that has to be dealt with. See, I have nothing to lose in our match tonight. But you, Magnum... You have a lot to lose. Just think! A former world champion, and MWL main eventer, decimated by a mid-card player. Do you understand, Magnum? Your pride is at stake tonight. And before the end of our match, Magnum, you WILL ride the Tilt-A-Whirl. All the way down." Catastrophe growled, and with that, he made his exit.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Catastrophe and Magnum in singles competition, coming up NEXT!" Stevan announced.

"Alright, Lino, the game is about to begin, we'd better get ready." Yugo stated, as he, Lino, and Melissa walked down the hall.
"Get ready, Magnum!" Lino grinned.
Main Event: Catastrophe v. Magnum
As Catastrophe slid out of the ring to recover at ringside, the notorious music of Yugo and Lino began, as the duo, with Melissa, charged the ring. Yugo and Lino slid in, striking Magnum and laying him out. Yugo ordered Melissa to bring in a chair for both of them, which she quickly did. Yugo flashed the Rock Fist before hoisting Magnum up and throwing him down with the Superiority Complex, as Lino set up a chair at the base of a ringpost.
Yugo picked Magnum up by the hair as Lino sat on the top rope, and tossed him to his tag partner. Lino draped Magnum's arm over his neck before hoisting him up by one leg. "Spike him!" Yugo shouted, as Lino nodded and dropped from the top turnbuckle in a Spike Suplex, onto the chair. As Yugo posed in victory, Chance and Panzer rushed the ring, as Yugo and Lino met them head-on.
Lino threw Panzer over the top rope and went after him, as Yugo struck Chance in the face with a chair. Yugo hoisted Chance up and threw him out of the ring, to the floor, with a Superiority Complex as Lino slid Panzer back into the ring. As Panzer tried to force himself to his feet, Yugo and Lino stood on either side of him, both with a chair in hand. Yugo made a gesture for Lino to get ready, and as Panzer stood, both men swung their chairs, sandwiching Panzer's head between them. Lino then hoisted Panzer up and tossed him out of the ring, as the two men stood victorious, Melissa standing between them, holding all three of their belts.
