Charm City Underground
Baltimore, Maryland
Episode 16 - Season 1

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)

In Ring: (Jim Cornette leads the new CCU Tag Team champions to the ring - The Gentleman's Club!)

JC: Well you know how much I hate to say that I told you so but when I introduced real professional wrestlers to this sideshow I assured everyone especially the Young Bucks and that punk Adam Cole that my way was the right way. Lo and behold the proof is right here, new Charm City Underground champions.
DG: That's correct. Myself, Chuck Taylor, and Biff Busick represent the right way to do things in this sport. We are thinking man's grapplers and certainly not the flashy glory hounds that the Elite have made themselves out to be. Now Adam Cole may still be the Charm City Heavyweight champion but that will all change very soon.

(The Young Bucks and Adam Cole are out to confront.)
NJ: (mock clapping) Great. Good for you guys. Do you really think we care? We are the mother freaking rock stars of this place and if you don't believe it just listen to this.
(Fans cheer and give a "Too Sweet!" response.)
MJ: Huh, you like that? That's the animal magnetism that we possess. And it's something you boys will never ever have.
AC: Cornette if you think this finishes things then you're dumber that I thought. Things are just getting started and as for Busick getting another shot at me well, he's going to have to get in line. There are plenty of contenders that want this and if you check last time out I did get the "W" over Biff the stiff.

JC: Make jokes like you always do but you boys like to call yourself the best in the world yet who has the proof? We do and it aint going anywhere. Cole, you may be right there are plenty of contenders right like in the tag team division. So who knows when you'll get another shot. Ha Ha Ha.

(M.W. Jergs is out now.)
MWJ: Gentlemen this isn't Monday night. We don't talk about it, we do it here in the Underground. So let me gets things moving here. Tonight Young Bucks you will face the Forever Hooligans for the a shot at the CCU tag team titles and Biff Busick you will face three other contenders in a 4-Way Elimination Match - the last man standing gets to face Adam Cole. Now if you all clear the ring we have a show to begin!

1) "Magnum" Joey Ryan (w/Veda Scott) beat "Smooth Sailin' Ashley Remington with the WALK-OFF @ 3:15.
-Remington came out to the ring escorted by two ladies on each arm. He delivered Ms. Scott a handful of flowers that she was unsure what to do with and appeared disgusted by them. Ryan attacked before the bell and hit a spinebuster for a two count. Remington reversed a buckle whip and hit a forearm as the crowd got behind him. Scott then jumped on the apron and pretended to thank Remington for his gift. He stopped and kissed her hand and gave her a finger gun. He spun around and was blasted with a Superkick for the three count. After the bell, Scott demanded that Ryan finish Remington off. He grabbed the right arm and locked in a Fujiwara armbar and wrenched back. This brought out Colt Cabana who got Ryan to relinquish the hold. He tended to Remington as Scott and Ryan left upset that they couldn't finish the job.

-Hype video for "King of the Streets" Death Match tournament starting next week-

-Backstage-
(Jeremy Borash is with Cedric Alexander)
JB: Cedric, I know that you had big plans in the Underground but you've been mired in a rivalry with Ashley Remington/Dalton Castle. How do you intend to get out of it?
CA: JB, I have no worries because finally. Finally. Finally! I am rid of this guy. I'm ready to move onward and upward and secure my shot at the gold.

(Veda Scott walks into view.)
VS: Excuse me Mr. Borash. May I have a word with my client. Listen you saw what happened earlier and the word just came down that in two weeks you and Joey Ryan will take on Colt Cabana and Ashley Remington in a tag team challenge.
CA: What?! No! No! Hell No! And don't give me any of that you're fired if you don't do it crap. I'm done. Your the lawyer you figure it out but get me out of it!

4) The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) beat Forever Hooligans (Alex Koslov & Rocky Romero) when Nick pinned Koslove with INDYTAKER @ 23:08.

Baltimore, Maryland
Episode 17 - Season 1

Cold Open
(We see outside the entrance to the Pit in Baltimore. Maryland. Fans are lined up ready to enter and Jim Cornette appears to be blocking the past with all three members of his entourage, Biff Busick, Drew Gulak, and Chuck Taylor. They are holding picket signs and wearing T-Shirts that say "Save Wrestling". Jeremy Borash is out with a mic to get to the bottom of this situation.)

JB: Cornette. What are you doing, we have a show to put on?!
JC: I'm here with my men to speak a little logic and sanity to the people out here before we reach the point of no return. I thought that this organization was going to be about professional wrestling and aside from a few questionable moments there's been some excellent wrestling presented here mostly by these three men beside me. But the people have to realize that they are the ones that perpetrate this cancer on our sport. I see a lot of people in line here tonight, many of whom don't understand basic hygiene and think that fine French cuisine comes from a red box at McDonald's. These weak minded fools have enticed men who will never make it in professional wrestling to cut their bodies and sacrifice themselves for their amusement and we won't sit idly by while this occurs.
DG: My excitable colleague is trying to help these people but by the looks of them I'd say they are beyond redemption.

(M.W. Jergs is out with security.)
MWJ: Cornette get the hell out of the way. I don't care about you're political statements right now.
JC: This is a sham, this is a travesty. This isn't professional wrestling. And we want the people to know that both themselves and frankly you are guilty of crimes against our great sport.
MWJ: Listen, you will move or I will have you moved. You and your men have the night off so I suggest that you use your time wisely. Next week, Biff Busick you will face Adam Cole for the CCU Heavyweight championship and it will be a two out of three Falls match. And Gulak and Taylor you will defend those newly won tag team titles against the Young Bucks and it will be a Falls Count Anywhere match. So rest up and get ready for next week.
DG: Wait. Wait. We'll go but I have one question for you sir. Is it true that Bad Influence has left Charm City Underground?
MWJ: Mr. Daniels and Mr. Kazarian have matches around the world and I was told by them that as of this moment their schedule is full.
DG: So we ran them out of this company, correct? Ha Ha just as I thought. Jackson brothers, we may dislike "hardcore" mutilate yourself nonsense but in a old fashioned fight myself and Chuck can more than hold our own. Let's see if you two pretty boys can withstand a catch attack the likes of which of have ever seen and the rules will be relaxed. Let's go boys.

(Gulak, Taylor, and Busick step aside while Cornette is still screaming.)
JC: Wait. Come back. This is worth taking a stand on. Gulak listen to me. This is garbage.

(Security grabs Cornette and drags him away and show opens)

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)

(On the rampway "The Wheel" has been brought out as M.W. Jergs is accompanied by Scarlett Bordeaux who will be the spinner for the evening.)
MWJ: Ladies and gentlemen let's spin the wheel, make the deal and start the "King of the Streets" tournament!

-Brass Knuckles Match- -Loser is knocked out for a ten count-
1) The Sandman defeated Joker with a HARDCORE DDT thru a table @ 7:45.
-The ECW orginal dominated much of the action and used his Cane, which was legal during much of the brawl. Joker got in some minor offense but never felt like a threat. Sandman hit a jumping DDT through a table to knock out his opponent for good.

-Backstage Interview-
(Jeremy Borash is with Veda Scott)
JB: Ms. Scott it seems that your client Cedric Alexander does not want to take part in the tag match scheduled next week and in fact he told you that you needed to get him out of it. How's that going for you?
VS: I am quite confident that I will be able to satisfy Cedric's request.
JB: So it's done. He's out of the match.
VS: Not quite, these things take time, not that you would know. As I said I am confident that things will go our way once Mr. Jergs sees how unfair he's been to Mr. Alexander.
JB: Hmm, he usually tells him to wrestle or he's fired.
VS: You aren't seeing the big picture Borash. I have things to do, get lost.

-Baltimore Brawl- (Sam's Brawl Match) - No DQ - Weapons placed around the ring-
2) Sami Callihan pinned Danny Havoc with a HEADLOCK DRIVER @ 9:10.
-Former CZW rivals squared off in a familiar setting. Havoc struck first when the match went outside and used a steel chair on Callihan's back and then hit a stiff piledriver on it. The New Horror fought back and showed no regard for his body went he hit successive suicide dives to the floor. Once back in a Headlock driver got the three count after a tough fight.

-Backstage Interview-
(Jeremy Borash is waiting on Ashley Remington)
JB: Well, I am supposed to be talking to Ashley Remington but he doesn't seem to be here.

(The Boys happily jump into screen and use their feathers to announce the arrival of Dalton Castle!)
JB: Ah, well I must say this is quite a surprise. I wasn't exactly expecting you.
DC: Hmm. Well I'm not someone anyone forgets easily. But please can we talk about Cedric Alexander's obsession with me. The man clearly can't take his eyes off me and next week with my boys and Colt Cabana we are gonna end this thing called love and make history.


-Barbed Wire Texas Bullrope Death Match- (Wrestlers are join by a barbed wire bullrope - pin or submission rules)
3) Masada defeated Delirious with a TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER @ 6:35.
-A sickening brawl. Both men were cut and bleeding. Delirious' mask did not help shield him from the carnage. Each took turns using the barbed wire to rake at the eyes and face of the opponent. Masada reversed a turnbuckle whip and hit a low blow setting up the finish.

-Hype Video for next week- -Special two hour event- Six matches in all! Two title matches and the Semis and Finals of the "King of the Streets" deathmatch tournament.

-Tables Match-
4) Necro Butcher defeated Moose (w/Stokley Hathaway) when Moose missed a top rope splash @ 5:45.
-Moose used his strength to dominate much of the action. Stokley then had Moose stack two tables and told him to go up top to end the match. Necro was able to roll out of the way and the big man went crashing thru both! The Butcher rolled over and got the three count to advance.

Episode 18 - Season 1

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)

In Ring: (M.W. Jergs is out ready to address the fans.)
MWJ: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the biggest show so far in the history of the Underground. Two hours - six matches - two title matches and one "King of the Streets" Deathmatch champion will be crowned tonight! So let's get to the action!

-Hardcore Death Match-
1) Necro Butcher pinned The Sandman with a NECRO BOMB @ 5:11.
-Necro was in control for the majority of the match. He battered the ECW vet outside the ring and used several chairs to soften up his back. Two consecutive power bombs on the concrete lead to an easy three count inside the ring.

Backstage:
(Jeremy Borash is with Veda Scott)
JB: Well, Ms. Scott have you been able to give Cedric Alexander what he wants?
VS: Take that smirk off your face and I'll be happy to answer that question. But first let me bring out Mr. Alexander.

(Cedric Alexander walks out.)
CA: I'm ready for some good news.
VS: I have it for you. Tonight you get the opportunity to wipe out Dalton Castle once and for all. You can put this weirdo into a hospital bed and out of the Underground for good.
CA: Uh-uh. That wasn't what I wanted. I wanted a new challenge. I don't want to be part of a tag team. I want a chance to realize my championship potential. So since you can't get me what I want. Let me make this clear. You are fired! And not only that but people around here seem to think that this is the only place to work. I've gotten offers from EVOLVE, from PWG, from Tier-1 and the list goes on. If people around here want to mess with me then I'm out. Later.

(Scott is flustered and stunned as Joey Ryan brushes past Alexander.)
JR: Did I hear that right!? I'm not wrestling in a handicapped match am I? I need a partner. Got any ideas?
VS: (meekly) Not really.
JR: Well I do. (whisper into Scott's ear) Well, what do you say?
VS: (thinking) Why not?

2) Colt Cabana & Dalton Castle (w/The Boys) beat "Magnum" Joey Ryan & Veda Scott by DISQUALIFICATION when Ryan used a steel chair on Castle @ 7:12.
-Quite a scene as Ryan was extra sleazy with his lollipop as his new partner was announced. Castle was not to be outdone as his old entrance brought the crowd alive. The match saw Colt and Dalton strong from the start. A two count on Ryan until he tossed Castle to the outside. Scott tossed powder into his eyes and then distracted the official while Ryan crushed the back of Castle's head with a chair shot. The ref caught the infraction and called for the bell. Castle was out cold while Colt fought off Scott and Ryan while medical staff were out tending to Dalton.

Backstage: (Jeremy Borash is out with Marty Scurll)
JB: The Villain is here in CCU and so far things haven't gone as smoothly as perhaps you had hoped Mr. Scurll.
MS: No matter my friend because I'm in this for the long haul. I have plans in place to get what I want and what I want specifically is of no concern to you at this point. You just like all these fans are on a need to know basis but I will tell you this. I have a message and it's for a dear old friend of mine. Zack, please call me. You know the number.

-Singapore Cane Match-
3) Masada defeated Sami Callihan with the MASADAMIZER @ 10:25.
-Both competitors got in vicious shots with the cane during this encounter. But it was the grizzled Masada who overpowered Callihan and hit his finish three times to cover a dazed Callihan to earn a ticket to the finals.

-CCU Tag Team Title Match- Falls Count Anywhere-
4) The Gentleman's Club (Chuck Taylor & Drew Gulak) (c) (w/Jim Cornette) beat The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) when Gulak used UNIVERSITY STRETCH and Matt Jackson passed out @ 13:45.
- An emotional match between these two bitter foes. The Bucks were out quickly and had Chuck Taylor in trouble with multiple tag moves in and out of the ring. A moonsault to the floor almost got the three count. Gulak used Cornette's tennis racket to turn the tide. Taylor hit an Awfull Waffle on the concrete to Nick but was saved by his brother at the last moment. Soon all four were brawling on the floor. Gulak was able to hook Matt into his Dragon sleeper with bodyscissors while Taylor tossed Nick into the barricade wiping him out. Gulak wrenched back as the ref was forced to ring the bell when Matt became unresponsive.

-"King of the Streets" Final - LADDER WAR -
5) Masada defeated Necro Butcher to claim the "King of the Streets" title @ 11:55.
- Both men busted open. Both men weak from a brutal battle. The finish saw both men at the top exchanging blows. Masada won the exchange and pushed Butcher to the floor. He then was able to secure the prize and end the tournament.

Backstage: (Jeremy Borash is with Masada)
JB: Just a brutal, bloody encounter but here you are the new "King of the Streets".
M: That's right. Blood, sweat, tears. I'm the toughest man in wrestling and I am the king of the death matches. This is just another title to add to my mantle that proves it.

(Jim Cornette is out with the Gentleman's Club)
JC: Ugh. You know what tough guy you should be embarrassed not honored at the crap you do in that ring. What you do doesn't even qualify as professional wrestling it's the kind of the stuff that belongs at carnivals and freak shows. I'm sick of hearing about how tough and hardcore you idiots are and I aim to stop it.

(Masada reaches for Cornette but he's attacked from behind by Biff Busick. All three beatdown Masada while Borash attempts to get some help to the scene.)

-CCU Heavyweight Title Match- 2 out of 3 Falls-
6) Adam Cole (c) defeated Biff Busick (w/Jim Cornette) in two straight falls @ 13:35.

Fall #1-Cole pinned Busick with FLORIDA KEY @ 7:25.
Fall #2-Cole beat Busick with a TENNIS RACKET SHOT @ 13:35.

Cornette attempted to console Busick after his blunder but he wasn't having any of it and threatened to strike his manager. He thought better of it and left Cornette in the ring. The manager soon followed three to four steps behind.

[Pariah]

Kinda cool to see Cornette declaring war in hardcore wrestling... He better be careful not to alienate his own group after making dangerous enemies... Fun stuff, as always!

[mwjergs]

I started watching many of the Jim Cornette shoots on You Tube and figured it made sense to have him be able to antagonize wrestlers that he doesn't care for like the Bucks and Cabana. His rants against hardcore wrestling are epic.

As we all know Jim can be "passionate" and he can rub people the wrong way, even his own proteges. There have been cracks among his group the past few weeks. I'll let the dice decide if it all implodes by seasons end or if he can rally his troops.

[Blehschmidt]

Just sat and read all 18 shows in one sitting, and I have to say that this fed rocks! Your Cornette is pretty much perfect, and I think sticking Gulak with him is a great choice. I do get the feeling we will be seeing Biff attempt to drop him on his head before long though.

The Cole/Young Bucks stable has also been very well done, and I can't help but feel that they are almost a step above everyone else in the company at this point.

I also really like what you've done with Cedric Alexander, and I hope he hasn't left the company.

Lastly, having Dalton Castle turn into Ashley Remington after getting knocked on the head with the wrench was awesome, and I totally wish I'd thought of it for my fed!!!

Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much for the feedback.

Cornette started as my main focus for this season and it will be interesting see where he lands with his stable at the end. He can't help but rub people the wring way even those on his side.

Cedric Alexander's story was almost totally dice driven, in other words I didn't the idea to have him where he is now at all when he first started. I don't think he's totally done quite yet though.

Glad you are enjoying it. Got about 4 shows left in Season 1! Keep following.

Episode 19 - Season 1

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)

1) Ricochet defeated "Aerial Assassin" Will Ospreay with CHOCOLATE RAIN @ 10:05.
-The commentary team mentioned that upon hearing of Ospreay's arrival to CCU Ricochet demanded to have the first match. This of course was the re-match from the highly viewed classic these two had in Japan several months ago. A staredown started things off and the action was underway. Quick pace by both men and Ricochet caught a near fall with a shooting star press. Ospreay rolled outside and Ricochet hit a spectacular dive over the ringpost that had the fans chanting. Back inside Ricochet crashed and burned on an attempted 450 splash and the young Brit took control. Several superkicks and a fireman's gutbuster got a two count. At this point Marty Scurll came out to ringside and observed the action. The pace quickened back and forth with each man getting his spots and near falls in. The ref got caught in the way of a buckle reverse and hit the deck. Scurll jumped on the apron but instead of attacking Ricochet whom he has battled with over the last few weeks he clobbered Ospreay with his umbrella instead. He ordered Ricochet to finish him off. He was stunned for a moment then realized he had an advantage and went to the top rope. He landed Chocolate Rain and the ref came awake to count the tainted three count. Scurll walked away with a grin on his face while Ricochet wasn't quite sure if he was pleased with what he had done.

-Backstage- (Jeremy Borash is with Biff Busick & Jim Cornette)
JB: Gentlemen it seems as if your group has made it clear that hardcore wrestling is a blight on this great sport and so it will be you Biff Busick taking on a man that for some is the face of Hardcore in Masada.
JC: Listen, this is a joke and Masada is a no talent goof and when-
(Busick grabs Cornette)
BB: Shut your mouth!
(Cornette is stunned)
He was talking to me. Yeah guys like Masada have no place in wrestling and tonight I'm going to show him how real men get it done in the squared circle. As for you Jimbo you need to take a rest tonight. You've cost me twice against Adam Cole and I don't need any more screw ups. So if you know what's good for ya you stay in the locker room tonight and let me do, what I do.

2) Forever Hooligans (Alex Koslov & Rocky Romero) beat War Machine (Raymond Rowe & Hanson) when Koslov pinned Rowe with CONTRACT KILLER @ 18:15.
-An excellent showing by the new team of War Machine. They more than held their own against the top contenders and gave them some anxious moments. The finish saw Romero and Koslov execute three consecutive double team moves and end the bout with the Contract Killer. After the match Romero took the mic and called out the tag team champions - The Gentleman's Club and demanded their shot at the tag gold!

-Backstage-
(Marty Scurll has a mic in the locker room)
MS: Ha ha ha. Tonight was an exercise in psychology and you people witnessed it first hand. Ricochet, a man whom I've been in the ring with was presented a challenge against Will Ospreay. The Internet was alive with commentary after they wrestled in Japan. Everyone in the industry had something to say about this encounter. It was a tremendous moment in anyone's career. But history will show that Ricochet was the loser of that match. And so here he had a chance to make things right and I gave him a little push to get the job done. And so he was faced with a choice. Good or Bad? Right or Wrong? He chose. Now he's a villain - just like me.

Oh and Zack Sabre jr. I'm still waiting. Hit me up mate.

3) Biff Busick defeated Masada with a DECAPITATING CLOTHESLINE @ 6:15.
-The match started with some wrestling moves and even Masada hitting s standing dropkick! It didn't last long as things went outside and the brawling began. Back inside the ring the match went back and forth as Jim Cornette snuck out to ringside. As Masada got the upper hand he grabbed his ankle which caused him to get a size 12 right in the face. This gave Busick an opening and he leveled him with a lariat that gave him the three count. Busick left the ring not seeing his manager who was knocked out on the floor.

-In Office
(MW Jergs is in his office)
MWJ: Wrestling fans I truly hoped that you have enjoyed our first season of action brought to you from the Charm City and from the response that we've gotten all over the web it seems that you have. Please note however that we have just four shows left in our first season. The action will come to a climax in just four weeks in a huge season finale episode entitled - "ONE NIGHT IN THE CITY". Announcements will be a made in the coming weeks.



-10 Man Top Contenders- FRAY MATCH-

4) Dalton Castle (w/ The Boys) vs. Rob Van Dam
-The match begins with the flamboyant Castle taking the fight to the confident RVD. Castle isn't intimidated and uses several suplexes to gain the upper hand. Van Dam reasserted himself with a roundhouse kick that almost knocked his opponent out of the ring.

-Rich Swann entered at #3

-Swann went at Van Dam and hit a spin kick into an impressive standing 450 that sent the crowd into gasps. Castle then used his surprising strength to deliver a beautiful Deadlift German for a two count on the former ECW star.

-Colt Cabana entered at #4

-Cabana enters the match and is hit with roundhouse by RVD that knocks him back. Castle whips RVD into the ropes and ducks a clothesline. He reverses a suplex attempt an hits a Northern lights suplex of his own to get the three on Castle.

-Dalton Castle is eliminated @ 9:15.

-Moose (w/Stokley Hathaway) entered at #5

-Moose went right after Cabana per Hathaway's instructions. He overwhelmed him and used a Pounce tackle to get the elimination.

-Colt Cabana is eliminated @ 13:55.

-Zack Sabre Jr. entered at #6

-Sabre deals everyone a few rolling elbows and then hits a Sabre driver on Swann for a two and half. The crowd is clearly behind the young Sabre as he tears through the competition.

-"Magnum" Joey Ryan (w/ Veda Scott) entered @ #7

-The fans were unhappy to see the sleazy Ryan saunter to ringside but Sabre flipped him into the battle. Moose hit a Spear on Ryan that sent him to the mat but before he could get in a pin attempt Swann hit a backflip kick. This gave Van Dam time to hit the Five Star Splash to eliminate Ryan.

-"Magnum" Joey Ryan is eliminated @ 17:21.

-Marty Scurll entered at #8

-The self professed villain slid into the ring and waited in the turnbuckle as the four remaining wrestlers continued battle. Moose hit a Spear on Swann to wipe him out of the Fray.

-Rich Swann is eliminated @ 19:50.

-Sami Callihan entered at #9

-The Callihan death machine was in full effect as he hit heavy offense on all the match participants.

-"Smooth Sailin'" Ashley Remington entered at #10

- In a shocking twist Ashley Remington completed the field as the final entrant. Van Dam protested but was drowned out by the fans cheers. He attacked Remington who knocked him out of the ring with a dropkick. He hit finger guns to the crowd and they went wild. Remington was unable to see the devious Scurll who got behind him and locked in the Crossface chicken wing for the submission.

-Ashley Remington is eliminated @ 22:05.

-On the other side of the ring Callihan and Van Dam were trading blows. Callihan hit the Forearm to Remember and knocked RVD from the contest.

-Rob Van Dam is eliminated @ 24:15.

-Scurll attempted to help Sabre as he was getting pummeled by the larger Moose. He ate a spear instead and was ejected from the competition.

-Marty Scurll is eliminated @ 26:25.

-Sabre, Callihan, and Moose were the final three. Callihan aggressive style was his undoing this time as he crashed into the buckle and Sabre locked in the Cross Armbreaker forcing a tap out.

-Sami Callihan is eliminated @ 29:51.

-Hathaway stood on the apron and Sabre rushed to knock him out but the wily manager was too quick. Sabre spun around and ate a Spear and Moose was the winner of the title shot next week against Adam Cole. A jubilant Hathaway was already proclaiming a title change next week.

Episode 20 - Season 1

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)

In Ring:
(Ricochet walks out to the ring)
R: Listen up I just wanted to say a few things that have been on my mind about my match last week with Will Ospreay and if he would I'd like to bring him out here right now.

(Fans cheer and Will Ospreay obliges.)
R: Listen I want you to know that I have great respect for you and that we can compete without resorting to cheap tactics. So even though I won last week I didn't feel good about it so I'd like to offer you a re-match right here on tonight's show.


(Marty Scurll hits the ring.)
MS: Hold it. Hold one second. You are doing it all wrong. You see there are winners and losers and last week you won. Why are you apologizing for it? Own it. And in doing so you put your priorities in order and unleash the natural order of things.

R: Yeah but I didn't want to win like that. I enjoy competition, fair competition.

MS: Oh you have so much to learn and I can teach it to you.

WO: Hold on. First of all Marty just shut it. This doesn't involve you, even though you did take it upon yourself to ruin what was an excellent match last week. So first of all Ricochet I accept. Secondly Marty Scurll if you get involved you will have to answer to me. So I advise you to steer clear of that ring when I am in it.

MS: Oh William please don't make threats you can't back up. I'll do as I please like I always do, come what may. So Ricochet think about it and Zack Sabre Jr. I grow impatient. You and I will discuss some business very very soon.

1) Colt Cabana beat "Magnum" Joey Ryan (w/ Veda Scott) by DISQUALIFICATION when Ryan used a steel chair @ 10:35.
-Cabana had things going his way. A Superman sequence into a Bionic Elbow yielded a two and a half count. Scott jumped on the apron and distracted the official while Ryan hit a low blow from behind on Colt. He then pushed him through the ropes and followed after him. Scott called for a steel chair and even though the ref ordered him to stop he swung anyway causing the disqualification. He continued the assault until Ashley Remington hit the ring to come to Colt's aid. Scott ran interference and Remington ever the gentleman refused to hit a lady or even move her physically. This gave Ryan time to land a wicked chair shot to the lovable sea captain. Officials made their way out to attend to the two fallen men and order Ryan and Scott to the back.

-Backstage
(Jeremy Borash is with Zack Sabre Jr.)
JB: You've heard the comments from Marty Scurll the last few weeks what do you think he wants with you?
ZSjr.: I think I have an idea. Years ago in the United Kingdom Marty and I were tag team partners and we were incredibly successful he and I. Back then he was known as "Party Marty" and we were the Leaders of the New School. Of course he doesn't seem to be the same happy go lucky bloke I knew back then. He's found a darker edge and I know that I'm not interested in that.

(Marty Scurll interrupts)
MS: Listen please, I'm sorry to barge in on you but this is the only way you'll talk to me. Zack you and I know each other and all I can say is that I have been reborn and I've accepted who I am. I know that I can help you. But before you answer I want you to ask yourself if you're tired of being second best. I've watched you here in the Underground. You've come close so many times to backing up that claim that the Internet sheep want to give you about being the best in the world. Yet you have no gold around your waist. And with that you have no claim to such accolades. Join me just like old times and you and I will go back to the top. Please just think about it.

ZSjr.: Look our friendship feels like a lifetime ago. I know what path I'm on and I'm happy with it. If I'm going to be champion I'm going to do it my way.
MS: Or not at all? Just think about it.

-In Ring:
(Masada walks to the ring.)
M: Hey, I've been in the back talking to Mr. Jergs and I've got a challenge that I want to lay down to Jim Cornette and his flunkies. So get them out here. All of them.

(Jim Cornette walks out without his stable.)
JC: What on Earth do you want you dumb idiot? Biff took care of you last week and showed you that you aren't in the same league as The Gentleman's Club. So what do you want?
M: Well I have a proposition. Last week I wrestled your type of rules and this week I want to wrestle mine.
JC: What makes you think I'd ever do that?
M: Because if I lose, I'll leave and you will have proved your point.
JC: Really? That's it huh? Well look it won't be some exploding ring, hands dipped in glass, dynamite match. I would agree to No Disqualifications, No Countout and that's it. For a chance to get rid of you I'd think about it.

(Drew Gulak, Chuck Taylor and Biff Busick are out)
DG: Wait, wait, wait. Charles and I are the tag team champions and we are supposed to have a match later on. Plus you stink. You are awful. You have no business in professional wrestling and I am embarrassed to even look at you.
M: That tag match with Forever Hooligans has been moved to next week and by the way it would be a six-man match.
CT: Whatever. We win and you leave? Besides who would team with you?



-No Disqualification - No Countout-
2) Masada & War Machine (Raymond Rowe & Hanson) defeated The Gentleman's Club (Drew Gulak & Chuck Taylor) & Biff Busick (w/ Jim Cornette) when Masada pinned Gulak with the MASADIMIZER @ 7:45.
-Masada and his teammates were in charge the majority of the match. They opened up both Taylor and Gulak with chair shots outside the ring. Masada hit a tombstone piledriver and then his finisher for the three count back inside the ring much to the delight of the fans.

-Backstage
(Jeremy Borash is in the locker room.)
JB: Fans I've just been informed that Dalton, er um Ashley uh. has been rushed to the emergency room. As you know he has taken quite a beating this season especially to his head. He had some issues backstage after he was taken to be checked out and we will update you as soon as we learn more.

Right now I'd like to bring in The Elite - The Young Bucks and the CCU Heavyweight champion Adam Cole.
MJ: Hey JB did you see Cornette and his boys get thrashed out there? Outsmarted again. Just keep those belts warm because they will be coming back to us to complete this trio of talent that is the Elite.
AC: Do you realize that I am the only man ever to hold this gold belt? And do you know why Borash? Because I'm just that good. So young, so talented, and so damn handsome. Tonight a new challenger steps up - Moose. Now I see that you are big, and strong and agile but you are missing something. That "IT" factor, something I have in abundance. So come and get this if you can and when you can't just remember that greater men than you had tried and you failed just like all of them.

3) Ricochet pinned "Aerial Assassin" Will Ospreay with CHOCOLATE RAIN @ 12:54.
-Another aerial exhibition from these two high fliers. As you might expect Marty Scurll walked out to ringside and did have an impact on the match. At one point as Ospreay went up the buckles he decided to hit a dive on Scurll instead of his opponent! Late in the match, Ospreay went to the top again but Scurll grabbed his foot. He kicked Scurll off but it was too much time and Ospreay crashed and burned. Ricochet then went to the top and finished off the match with Chocolate Rain for the three count. Ricochet hadn't seen Scurll's interference this time so he wanted to shake hands. Ospreay would have none of it and instead chased Scurll back to the locker room.

THREE SHOWS LEFT! ONE NIGHT IN THE CITY - SEASON FINALE!

-CCU Title Match-
4) Adam Cole (c) beat Moose (w/ Stokley Hathaway) @ 16:10 when The Young Bucks interfered.
-The title should have changed hands tonight. Cole was in control early and got too cocky. He was hit with a high dropkick and then a Spear but was close enough to grab the ropes. Moose slammed him and then set up for another Spear which connected. The Young Bucks were already out at ringside and caused enough distraction to get the official to hold back Hathaway while Moose ate the Superkick Party. Matt Jackson then slid under the ropes to cut off Stokley while Cole draped an arm over his opponent to get the three count.

Charm City Underground
Baltimore, Maryland
Episode #21 - Season 1

(At the ringside announce table sits Todd Grisham and the great and devious Ultramantis Black)



(CCU Heavyweight champion Adam Cole and The Young Bucks are out to start the show. All three are in a good mood. Cole takes the mic first.)

AC: Well, I know that all of you people ----

(M.W. Jergs is out with his own microphone)
MWJ: Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Cut his mic. We are not going to fall into this pattern. And blah, blah, blah, blah.

(The Elite are stunned into silence.)
MWJ: Gentlemen. You don't have anything to brag about tonight. Last week Young Bucks you superkicked Moose into the coma and allowed you Adam Cole to escape with your title but not your honor intact. So tonight you will face Moose in a rematch and Stokley Hathaway and Matt and Nick Jackson will be unable to interfere. For if they do they will be suspended immediately and indefinitely. That match will also be an Extreme Rules No Disqualification encounter. Oh and Young Bucks you will face War Machine in a tag team contenders match to determine the challengers to the Charm City Underground tag team champions. So I suggest you gentlemen leave the ring and prepare because I promised a rescheduled tag title match and I deliver on my promises so vacate the ring because it starts now!

(The Elite are still dumb founded as the official for the match steps to the ring and Rocky Romero and Alex Koslov hit the ring.)



(Some jawing occurs between the Hooligans and the Elite before the Gentleman's Club with Jim Cornette is introduced. They stand directly in the way before Drew Gulak and Chuck Taylor step around their foes without incident.)

-Charm City Underground Tag Team Title Match-
1)Forever Hooligans (Rocky Romero & Alex Koslov) defeated The Gentleman's Club (Drew Gulak & Chuck Taylor) (w/ Jim Cornette) (c) when Cornette's racket was intercepted by Romero and used on Gulak to get the pin and the titles @ 14:15.
-An incredible start to the program with this title change. The finish saw all four men in the ring and the Hooligans hit the Contract Killer on Gulak. Cornette distracted the official and this brought the Young Bucks back out who thwarted Cornette's attempt to intefere. Corny was hit with a double superkick which caused his infamous racket to fly into the ring. Romero took it while Koslov kept the ref busy and "Mr.Azucar" landed a knockout blow to gain the belts. It was a rough scene in the ring as Gulak and Taylor left Cornette outside the ring by himself as they staggered to the back without their gold.

-Backstage-
(Jeremy Borash is with Will Ospreay)
JB: It's been a rough start for you in the Underground as Ricochet has two victories by less than honorable means and its seems as if Marty Scurll is making it his mission to thwart your attempts to succeed here.
WO: Marty Scurll is frankly a scumbag. I want him in the ring and I want it now. As for Ricochet I think he's finally shown his true colors. He got so frustrated that he couldn't beat me fairly that he's started listening to guys like Scurll. It's quite sad really.

(Ricochet sneaks up on Ospreay and hit a low blow.)
R: You don't ever speak my name. You are not my equal and I am better than you in every way imaginable. I did it not once but twice right here in the Pit. I've moved on - NEXT!

(Borash asks for help for the fallen Brit as we head back to the ring.)

2) "The Villain" Marty Scurll beat Rob Van Dam with a PUMPHANDLE NECKBREAKER @ 6:09.
-Van Dam was looking to get back into the title conversation with a win over the controversial Scurll. It was not be as the vet missed a leap from the top rope and the Villain quickly executed a neckbreaker to gain a mild upset. After the match Scurll addressed the crowd and claimed that evil was spreading and that his rise is inevitable.

-Backstage-
(A disheveled Jim Cornette is banging on the locker room door begging for any of his charges to open it. Jeremy Borash interrupts)
JB: Um Jim, is there some trouble between you and your men?
JC: Ugh. You're like a bad penny Borash. Look the door appears to be locked if you must know. No scamper along I have business to attend to. (Knocks again)
JB: You must admit that the Club had some issues as they lost the tag titles to Forever Hooligans and some might say you helped cause their defeat.
JC: Would some people be you Borash? I bet you think French cuisine is a box of greasy fries from McDonald's you idiot. Now leave me alone and get that camera out of my face. (Starts pounding on the door again)
JB: Not many answers here. Back to the ring.

3) War Machine (Raymond Rowe & Hanson) defeated The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) when Rowe pinned Matt following War Machine @ 4:25.
-The brawlers were too powerful and were able to isolate Matt in the corner. The Bucks rallied with double team moves but were distracted when Jim Cornette came to ringside and started screaming at both men for what they did earlier in the night. Nick went after Cornette who ran but Matt caught the brunt of the attack and ate the three count in quick fashion.

ONE MORE SHOW LEFT BEFORE THE SEASON FINALE "ONE NIGHT IN THE CITY" - Details on matches next week!

-Charm City Underground Heavyweight Title- -Extreme Rules-
4) Moose defeated Adam Cole (c) with a SPEAR to win the title @ 13:27.
-Two title changes on the same show! What a match as these competitors fought in and out of the ring. Cole hit the Florida Key and Panama Sunrise in succession and almost ended things early. Moose fought back and speared Cole into the outside guardrail and hit the Pounce back in the ring for a two count. The match went back outside and Cole hit a low blow. He used a steel chair on Moose's back several times and he seemed to enjoy the violence. He then took Moose up the aisleway and hit a stiff piledriver on the concrete floor. As Cole basked in the boos he did not see Jim Cornette sneaking up behind him and as he turned he was hit hi with medicated powder. Cole cluthed his face and staggered blindly as Cornette was led away by security. Moose used the time to recover and he hit a huge lariat on the way back to the ring. He rolled Cole back in and set up for his Spear which he hit for the three count and title win!
