MWL Redline - October 17, 2007
"Stevan, I'm gonna say this once, 'cause I don't feel I have to run 'round repeatin' mahself, like some o' those other boys on the roster. Now, I been watchin' real close lately, and I've gotta say, right here, right now, that former Lightweight Champion, David Hitz, is a HACK!" Spike shouted.
"A hack?" Stevan asked.
"Tha's right. A hack!" Spike repeated. "If him an' me were in the ring, on any night, I'd kick his ass up an' down the ring! Any night at all!" With that, the Norton Brothers made their exit, as Stevan looked at the camera.

Michael stood in the ring, microphone in hand, looking to the crowd, and staring at the entrance ramp, keeping an eye out for any interruptions. "Well, now, I think after that, we need to see if Spike can put his money where his mouth is, eh?" Michael asked. "At Extinction, Spike Norton will face David Hitz, one on one!" Michael announced. "And, because they demanded it, Instant Epic Win gets the Asian Persuasion in an elimination, tornado tag team, tables match!"
As Michael prepared to continue, Nicholas Hunter appeared on the stage, accompanied by his music. "Michael!" Nicholas shouted, storming down the ramp and sliding into the ring. "I want my chance to shine against the former tag champs! You get me a match against any of the Ssu-Ling for Extinction!"
Michael grinned for a moment, before raising his microphone to his mouth. "Is Genbu alright?" He asked, as Nicholas quickly backed off. Michael chuckled, watching Nicholas' reaction. "No, no, he's already got a match if he wins his defense tonight. I'm thinking...why not the leader? Kouryuu?" Michael asked, as Nicholas nodded, liking this possibility much more than Genbu.
"Yeah, yeah. I like that just fine." Nicholas answered.
"Well, then, it's settled. At Extinction, Spike and David, Asian Persuasion and Instant Epic Win, then Nicholas Hunter versus Kouryuu." Michael stated. "Now, get out of here, I've got a card to run down." Michael snapped, as Nicholas stepped out of the ring and walked back up the ramp. "I'm glad they haven't gotten to do that Free Radical TV segment for a while." Michael laughed, clearing his throat.
"Now, then, after that, the winner of tonight's MWL-CAW Championship bout will face the runner-up for the #1-contendership from last week, Kairez. And following that, we're stepping into a set of matches that'll have so much hate flying around, somebody in the front row's probably gonna get hurt." Michael stated. "First, we've got that fiasco of a six-man tag match, where Yugo Ryan, Lino, and their mystery man, take on Magnum, Chance, and Panzer." Michael paused to think about that match.
"You people that have front row tickets for Extinction will probably want to be careful when that match is going on." Michael continued. "Then, we have that deal with Scott Froelich and Jim Norris, for the MWL World Lightweight Championship. A little note for our newer fans: one-on-one matches with these two seem to always be crazy as hell." Michael paused as the crowd cheered.
"Yeah, yeah, please, hold your applause until the end." Michael interrupted. "Now, that's Extinction on Sunday. But tonight, well, it's just as big. First up, we've got, at his request, Christopher Martel taking on Tiananman. Now, I'm told that Allan was in pretty bad shape after last week, so he won't be here, tonight, but he'll be set for Extinction. Then, after that, our tag team division gets a bit of a chance to shine, when the Norton Brothers take on the former MWL World Tag Team Champions, Magnum and Chance. And then, in our main event tonight, MWL-CAW Champion Genbu defends his title against the #1 contender, Catastrophe." Michael announced.
"That's our card, so let's get this show on the road!" Michael announced, stepping out of the ring.
Match 1: Tiananman v. Christopher Martel
"Hello, Stevan Corber here, with the current reigning MWL World Tag Team Champions, Yugo Ryan and Lino!" Stevan announced. "Guys, in just a few days, at MWL Extinction, you will take on the entire Militant Wing, in Magnum, Chance, and Panzer, and the identity of your third man will have to be revealed when the match arrives. Is there any way we can get a hint as to who it is?"
"You want a hint?" Yugo asked, laughing. "Let's see...a hint...let's see... Ah! I know! Our third man is..." Yugo trailed off, allowing Lino to finish the statement.
"...Our third man." Lino stated, grinning. "That's the best you're getting, little man."
"Suffice it to say that there's two world champions in this group, and after Extinction, there'll be three." Yugo stated, holding up both of his title belts, as Lino and Melissa walked away. "At Extinction, we take control." With that, Yugo walked off after his teammates as Stevan looked visibly worried.
* * *
"Michael!" Magnum shouted, barging into Michael Jamborgh's office.
"Eh? What is it now, Magnum?" Michael asked, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"Who is their third man?! We demand to know!" Magnum shouted, as Chance slowly walked in.
"Dear lord. Magnum, do you honestly think I know any more than you do?" Michael asked.
"Yes, I do!" Magnum spat.
"Alright, look, Yugo just said that right now, they have two world champions, and that after Extinction, they would have three. I can only assume he means either Jim Norris or Scott Froelich." Michael sighed.
"Why would they recruit a lightweight and challenge us?!" Magnum demanded.
"I don't know!" Michaled answered, visibly irritated. "Look, you guys have a match in a second. Get out to the arena and do your job. We can continue this later."
With that, Magnum and Chance made their way out of Michael's door as he rubbed his temples in frustration.
Match 2: The Norton Brothers v. Magnum & Chance
"Hello, Stevan Corber, here, with #1 contender to the MWL-CAW Championship, Catastrophe. Catastrophe, tonight, you challenge the MWL-CAW Champion, Genbu, for the title. Now, I'm told that you never got back to Michael Jamborgh about what the match type would be tonight, so he's made it a standard rules match." Stevan stated. "Is there some reason why you let time run out, or did you just never make up your mind?"
"Well, Stevan, I've been in action every week this month, and so far, I've only taken one fall. I've got a nice little weapon that I'm sure will help me bring down the 'unbeatable' Genbu." Catastrophe answered.
"What exactly is this weapon of your's?" Stevan asked.
"Nothing you need to worry about, Stevan. Nothing at all you need to worry about." Catastrophe smirked, making his exit.
"Catastrophe takes on Genbu for the MWL-CAW Championship, NEXT!" Stevan announced.
* * *
"Security!" Michael Jamborgh shouted, as Magnum brawled with Yugo, and Chance brawled with Lino. "SECURITY!" Michael repeated. Yugo threw Magnum, head-first, into the brick wall as Lino hoisted Chance up and dropped him with the Spike Suplex onto the concrete floor, as security finally made their way in and broke up the fight.
"Damn it! Yugo, Lino, I've had it up to here with you two!" Michael shouted. "The two of you are banned from the arena for the rest of the night!"
"And what about them, huh?!" Yugo snapped. "They're the ones that jumped us!"
"They're banned from the arena for the rest of the night, too." Michael answered. "But you two should know better! Now, get out of my sight!" Michael announced, as security led them away. "Good god, can somebody bring in somebody to look at Magnum and Chance?" Michael asked.
Main Event: MWL-CAW Championship - (C) Genbu v. Catastrophe
As Genbu celebrated yet another successful defense in the ring, Catastrophe forced himself to his feet, and slid out of the ring, grabbing a chair, and climbing back in. He struck Genbu with the chair from behind, and tossed the chair aside.
"How do you like me now, huh?!" Catastrophe shouted. He picked Genbu up by the head and started to lift him up for a Tilt-A-Whirl Knockout. Genbu struck Catastrophe in the gut, however, and lifted him up, and slamming him down with a DDtS onto the chair. As Catastrophe's back bowed up, Genbu stood, picked up his MWL-CAW Championship, and held it high overhead.
