MWL Redline - October 10, 2007
"Yeah, yeah, I know." Lino interrupted, slinging his MWL World Tag Team Championship belt over his shoulder. "I don't have to worry, anyway. I won't lose."
"Now, don't go getting cocky, Lino. You know what happens." Michael warned.
"Yeah. I WIN." Lino answered. "Not once have I failed to deliver when I was confident, Michael, and you know it!"
"Yeah, I know, Lino." Michael sighed. "But when was the last time you were in a steel cage match?"
"About a year and--" Lino began.
"And on top of that, when was the last time you went one-on-one with Chance?" Michael demanded. Lino remained silent as he tried to remember. "That's right, if I'm not mistaken, you haven't. This is twice as big, now."
"Whatever. I've still got my insur--" Lino started.
"No, you don't. We're keeping Yugo and Melissa out of that match. The cage door will not be opened under any circumstance." Michael stated. "It will be you and Chance, with no one else getting involved. Under any circumstance."
"But--" Lino began.
"No, Lino. Now, if you'll excuse me, the show is about to start, and I half to pay extra attention, tonight." Michael interrupted, ushering Lino out of his office.

"Hello, Stevan Corber, here, with Tiananman and Kentan, the Asian Persuasion!" Stevan announced, looking to the team's translator. "The last time we saw these two in the ring was two weeks ago, where in their debut, they suffered a loss to Free Radical. Tonight, they challenge Instant Epic Win, the team of Allan and Christopher Martel. What are their thoughts on their match, tonight?"
The translator thought for a moment, before turning to Tiananman and repeating the question in Chinese, and listening as Tiananman gave his answer, with Kentan interrupting on occasion.
"Alright, they say that they realize wha they said last week was a step over the line." The translator began.
"We still don't know what they said." Stevan answered.
"Well, do you want to get in trouble with Michael Jamborgh?" The translator responded.
"Touchè." Stevan muttered, as the translator continued.
"Anyway, they also say that it is an honor for them to be wrestling in the tag team division here in MWL. They understand that the competition is fierce, especially with the tag titles on a pair of great wrestlers in solo action, let alone tag teams, and that they're willing to do what it takes to show that they belong here." The translator finished. He then turned to the team and said something in Chinese, as the duo walked off.
"Alright, the Asian Persuasion take on Instant Epic Win in our opening bout, NEXT!" Stevan announced.
Match 1: The Asian Persuasion v. Instant Epic Win
As Allan and Christopher celebrated their victory, Tiananman struck Allan in the back of the head with a steel chair, as Kentan grabbed Christopher's ankle, pulling him to the floor. Tiananman stumbled to the ring, still exhausted, removed a table from underneath, and slid it into the ring. He went back to searching under the ring, finding another table and sliding it in, as well.
Tiananman made his way over to Allan Martel, and slid him back into the ring, as Kentan slid Christopher in. Tiananman grabbed one of the tables and propped it up in the corner, and slumped Allan against it, walking over to the far corner. Tiananman crouched for a moment, before charging forward, and performing a Cannonball on Allan Martel, forcing him through the table.
Kentan lifted up the remaining table and set it up, turning around and climbing to the top rope as Tiananman set Christopher on top of the table. Kentan braced himself before leaping onto Christopher Martel, driving him through the table. Kentan rolled away from the wreckage, holding his stomach, and forcing himself to his feet. The Asian Persuasion then stood, victorious, over their opponents.

"Oh, good lord." Michael sighed, watching the beatdown. "There's another pay-per-view tag match..."
* * *
As Catastrophe made his way toward the entrance, away from the locker room, he stretched his arms as he was approached by Stevan Corber.
"Catastrophe, in just a moment, you will be taking on Kairez one-on-one in a ladder match for #1-contendership to the MWL-CAW Championship either next week or at Extinction. What are your thoughts?" Stevan asked.
"My thoughts?" Catastrophe snapped. "My thoughts are, Kairez, tonight, I'll climb the ladder and I will win the title shot. Then, next week, I'll be using my brains to beat Genbu one-on-one. Genbu's not the kind of guy you can beat with just brute force, but Kairez, you are. See you in a second." With that, Catastrophe stormed off.
"Catastrophe takes on Kairez in a #1-contender's ladder match, NEXT!" Stevan announced.
Match 2: MWL-CAW Contendership - Ladder: Catastrophe v. Kairez
As Catastrophe stood on the ramp, holding the MWL-CAW Championship, the lights went black as Genbu appeared on the stage with Suzaku, both making their way down the ramp toward the challenger. Suzaku said something to Catastrophe, and he dropped the belt onto the ramp. Suzaku bent over to pick the belt up, as Catastrophe and Genbu kept their eyes locked on each other.
Catastrophe then, without warning, hammered Genbu in the face and within a moment, had Genbu on his shoulders. He then spun Genbu and dropped him, on his face, onto the ramp, with the Tilt-A-Whirl Knockout. Genbu forced himself to his feet and went after Catastrophe, as the two brawled to the backstage area.

"Hello, Stevan Corber here, with one half of the MWL World Tag Team Champions, Lino. Lino, in just a few moments, you will face Chance in a pin-submission steel cage match. If you lose, you have to divulge the identity of your third man. What are your thoughts?" Stevan asked.
"Well, Stevan, let me put it this way. I don't have to go, worrying about spilling the beans on our last guy, since I won't lose. Chance thinks he's on the same level as me? No way in hell." Lino laughed.
"And what if he does manage to defeat you?" Stevan pressed.
"Why do you guys keep asking me that?" Lino demanded. "I'm not going to lose, so why bother?"
"Well, Lino, you never know--" Stevan began.
"You know what? Shut up. I've said my piece. I'm done." Lino snapped, before walking off.
"Lino and Chance, in a steel cage pin-submission match, NEXT!" Stevan announced.
Main Event: Steel Cage (Pin/Submission): Lino v. Chance
As the cage began to raise, with Lino standing victorious over Chance, Yugo Ryan and Melissa Rez rushed the ring, both with steel chairs in hand, and a title belt around their waist. Yugo demanded that the cage be lowered, and as it began to descend, Magnum rushed the ring to help Chance. As he slid into the ring, Yugo, Lino, and Melissa fled, taking their belts and chairs with them, as Magnum stood at the ready to defend his tag partner if need be. The three of them began back up the ramp, as Yugo turned to face the ring again.
"At Extinction, Magnum, be ready! The games stop then!" Yugo shouted, as Magnum taunted the MWL World Heavyweight Champion from inside the ring.
