[Vertigo]

The show opens with Vertigo standing in the ring. Mic in hand.

"Last week on afterburn, the Green Team came up a little short. First I am announcing that at this moment I am the #1 contneder for the MWA United States Championship and will be facing Sean Lonewolf for that title this Friday on Afterburn. So tonight I will be teaming with The Liftor to face Lonewolf and Lawless.

"Also there is the situation of the NMHC Juniorweight Championship. Kilst pinned Pierce but refused to take the title. Next week on Afterburn that rematch will take place, but with a special stipulation. Tonight both of you will find someone to stand in for you in a match. Whoever's man wins, you get to pick the stip."

[Vertigo]

"Heaven's a Lie" by Lacuna Coil comes on and "Beautiful" Brooke Sage comes out. She walks to the ring and grabs a mic.

"Luke Devlin is an idiot. Let's see here, he wins his first match so immediately finds a partner and enters the tag-team division. Unfortunately for him, he chose Jericho Black. As you all know Jericho Black is responsible for both of The Rising's losses.

"Cut loose the dead weight of Jericho Black. He's useless. So Devlin, why don't you give up the tag-team game entirely and go back to singles competition. As a matter of fact, I'll challenge you to a match right now."

Brooke tosses aside the mic and awaits a response.

[Devlin]

-Luke Devlin-

"Polyamorous" by Breaking Benjamin hits, and a smug-looking Devlin walks out. His pyro hits, and he begins to walk down to the ring, a rather bemused yet arragont grin on his face. He grabs a microphone and stands in front of Brooke Sage, shaking his head.

"Beautiful... Brooke...Sage", Devlin says slowly, still grinning. "I see that when the good Lord created you, he added the beauty, but his budget cut short when trying to find a brain, and came up with that of a three-year old child". The Risen Dragon is given a huge booing from the crowd at this remark. "I don't know what to say. I mean, because you are Vertigo's play thing, you think you can walk around as you do, talking to me like this. I'm the Risen Dragon, damnit!"

Brooke gives him a dirty look, and begins to speak.

"look, untill you've had the kind of success I've had, you have no right to do what you do, either. If you want to change that, step into the ring with me. I'll show you how we do buisness around here".

Devlin seems to find this amusing, and laughs his usual laugh.
"I'm sorry, dear, but I don't play with little girls. You'd just better watch yourself... because you, my pretty, could get hurt". Devlin drops the mic and turns around, apparantly finished. But then, out of nowhere, Jericho Black blindsides Brooke with a ladder, knocking out to the mat, a crash echoing around the arena. Black begins to laugh, and stomps away at Brooke, who is helpless. Devlin then takes the ladder and places it in the centre of the ring as Black looks on. He then picks up Sage, laughing still. He drags her over to the ladder and proceeds to hit the Dragon's Wingbeat on Brooke onto the cold, unforgiving aluminium ladder. Medics and trainers begin to swarm the ring, as Devlin picks up the ladder, and along with his partner Black, dissapear into the crowd.

[Ganja Man]

Before the Brooke Sage/Devlin/Jericho Black happenings, Vertigo is in the ring when he hears a voice call out to him...

: "Vertigo..."

Vertigo lowers the mic and looks around as a voice calls him. He searches around the ring but there's no one...anywhere; until we see Matt Pierce on the big screen. Vertigo turns to towards the screen, acknowledging him Ganja Man..

Ganja Man: "Didn't mean to catch you off-guard, I would have come down to the ring but I've been in the back trying to find someone to represent me for that match; and speaking of that, I think I've got just the right person for the job. Now I haven't personally spoken with him about it yet, I haven't seen him in the back, but when push comes to shove, you gotta do what you gotta do: So I'm gonna say that tonight, representing Ganja Man to face the opponent of Ryan's choice will be none other than JOHNNY KNOCKOUT!!!"

The fans go nuts as they realize they could see Knockout in action tonight...

Ganja Man: "And the reason why I picked Johnny, plain and simple: He's one of the best, and that Knockout Lariat puts EVERYONE down for the count. There isn't a man in this federation, or any UCW guy, for that matter, who could get up from that....But I've gotta go for now, I'm still taking care of some important business..."

The screen goes black and it leaves the crowd wondering what this "important business" is..

[Vertigo]

-Vertigo prior to the Brooke attack-

Vertigo is in the back walking around and finds Ryan Kilst.

"Hey Ryan, who are you picking for to represent you tonight. If you can't find anyone, then you get represent yourself. So have you found anyone?"

-After the attack-

Vertigo is furious in the back trashing his office. He pulls a camera man in.

"Luke Devlin, you must be completely insane or a total idiot. And Jericho Black, I can't believe you still haven't learned your lesson. So tonight, you will each have two matches, first of all The Rising will take on The Faces of Fear. After that match, Luke Devlin will face James Dark and then Jericho Black will face Raven.

"You two idiots need to be taught a lesson. And hopefully this will do it. And on Afterburn, Devlin, you will face Brooke Sage in a submission match."

-Johnny Knockout-

*backstage*

"Hey, Matt!"

Ganja Man turns around to see who it is and realises that it is Johnny Knockout.

Ganja Man: "Oh hey Johnny, so you heard my announcement?"

Johnny: "Yeah, and I'll accept it. I could use some more practice before my TV title match this Friday"

The Rising vs The New Faces of Fear

After The Rising's actions Vertigo ordered this match to take place to get The Rising ready for the ordeal they will endure tonight. The New Faces of Fear dismatled the team of Juniorweights who seemed to be somehow distracted. As time went on The Rising were getting their feet back under them, causing back and forth action for the remainder of the match. Eventually Demento hit a back drop into a pin on Devlin for the victory.

Here are your winners via pinfall @ 5:36, "Dastardly" Damien Demento & El Hijo Del Perra, The New Faces of Fear![/b]

Jericho Black vs Raven

[/u][/center]

Jericho was obviously still tired from his previous match and overmatched by his larger oppoent. Raven hit the Evenflow DDT but was unable to score the victory with it. Jericho worked in The Black List Blast but only got a one count. Raven finnally just dropped Jericho on his head with a vicious german suplex to end the match.

Here is your winner via pinfall @ 5:26, Raven!

"The Risen Dragon" Luke Devlin vs "The Dark Angel" James Dark

Although Devlin had a little more time to recover from his previous match, he seemed winded as the match began began. James came out sporting a slightly different look, including a new beard. Devlin put up a good fight but could not gain any momentum against The Dark Angel. James put him away with a bridging german suplex for the victory.

Here is your winner via pinfall @ 4:25, "The Dark Angel" James Dark!

Following the match, Vertigo makes his way into the aisle with a mic.

"Devlin, you hurt my wife, and now you are hurt. So I think it's only fair that the match she challenged you to takes place, RIGHT NOW!"

"Beautiful" Brooke Sage vs "The Risen Dragon" Luke Devlin

[/u][/center]

Devlin was clearly exhausted and basically finished before the match even started. Brooke went straight to work on Devlin's arms and didn't let up until he finnally tapped out to a fujiwara arm bar.

Here is your winner via submission @ 4:54, "Beautiful" Brooke Sage!

Prior to the Pick Your Stip Match, Vertigo appears on the big screen and announces that Johnny Knockout will not be facing Ryan Kilst, he will be facing the returning Tank!

Johnny Knockout vs Tank
"Pick Your Stip" Match

Tank showed lots of ring rust, barely able to get himself going. Johnny stopped it quickly and ended the match with a Knockout Lariat.

Here is your winner via pinfall @ 2:07, Johnny Knockout!

Vertigo & "The Liftor" John Curry vs "The Regulator" Seth Lawless & Sean Lonewolf

[/u][/center]

All four men consistently hit power moves throughout including the "regulation" of Vertigo. As time passed Vertigo showed why he is a tag-team specialist and took a bullet from Lawless keeping him tied up while Curry hit a bridging tiger suplex on Lonewolf for the victory.

Here are your winners via pinfall @ 3:50, Vertigo & The NMHC Heavyweight Champion, "The Liftor" John Curry!

[Devlin]

-Luke Devlin-

Brooke Sage is in her locker room, apparantly pleased with herself after beating The Risen Dragon. She is putting stuff in her training bag when the lights begin to flicker. They stop momentarily, but then go out completely, leaving Brooke shrouded in darkness.

"Brooke..." a voice whispers. At this point, Brooke is terrified; she attempts to run through the locker room door... to find that it is locked. "What's a matter... are you afraid of what you can't see?"
"Devlin!" She screams. "Devlin, if that's you, I swear I'll-" But she is caught short, as the lights come back on, and a rag is smothered over her face, reeking of ether, wielded by Jericho Black. Devlin then drops down from the ceiling, stood infront of her. He laughs manically, as Brooke passes out in Black's arms. He strokes her cheek, and smiles.
"You'll do what?" He laughs, and with that, the lights go out. After a few seconds, the three have dissapeared from sight.

Later on...

Vertigo is in his office, when the lights go out. After a few seconds, they return, but not quick enough. Vertigo yelps as he sprawls out across the floor, a crash thundering around the room. The camera sweeps across to see Devlin standing with a ladder. He stands the ladder up, and gets down on his hands and knees, face to face with vertigo.

"Listen here... I and my associate Black have your wife. If you value her health, you'll show no sign of trouble... you'll ask for help from no one, and you will not fire me or Black. If you want your wife back, I want you to take this..." And he points to the aluminium ladder. "... the same ladder I beat EFF Dash with... and your wife. Take it, and make a ladder match with it. Me vs. The Juniorweight Champion... for the title." And with that, Devlin dissapears, Vertigo shocked by this news.

[Ganja Man]

Moments after Devlin flees the room, Ganja Man walks through the door to find sitting on the floor, slowly shaking his head left to right...

Ganja Man: "HEY!...What's the deal man? Why's this place a wreck? Where's Brooke? Come on man...ANSWER ME! Who the hell did this?"

Matt then waits for Vertigo to speak up....

[Vertigo]

Vertigo gets up with Pierce's help. He sits in a chair and holds his head in his hands as Ganja asks again what's going on.

"Devlin and Jericho took her. Devlin wants a title match for the Juniorweight belt, a ladder match. And I'm gonna give it to him. That son of a bitch obviously didn't learn his lesson but he's got me by the balls right now."

Vertigo gets up and picks up the phone.

"Security? Yeah I want you to find Devlin. Tell him I've agreed to his terms and he needs to sign a contract for his title shot."

Vertigo hangs up the phone. He hangs his head and then in a fit of rage grabs the laddder Devlin hit him with and smashes his window with it, sending the ladder through. He then punches a hole in the wall and collapses back into his chair.

"Hang on Brooke, you'll be ok."

[Ganja Man]

Ganja Man: "Damnit...I knew that son of a bitch was up to no good when he attacked her in the ring, but this, abducting her...that's just wrong. Next week, not only will I defend my belt, but I'll beat the shit out of that scumbag real good, so bad, in fact, that I seriously doubt he's gonna walk out of the arena of his own will...not this time, not after what he did..."

Ganja Man consoles Vertigo as the screen fades to black...
