MRW commentator Mark Knight enters the ring for the announcement of the start of the show.
Knight:"Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to welcome to Midnight Revolution Wrestling, Diamond Dallas Page!"
The music plays and the one and only DDP enters the Revolution Arena! DDP is holding a trophy. Knight leaves the ring and DDP holds court.DDP:"Everybody knows DDP is a gambler. Hell, my whole career was a million to one shot. So when I got asked to come here tonight and present this trophy to the winner of the Gambler's Chance tournament I couldn't pass it up. There are a lot of talented young guys here who have everything it takes and just need a little exposure to become worldwide stars. Guys like Tyler Black, Albright, Delirious, Brodie Lee, and the list goes on and on. As far as I'm concerned, MRW is where it's at right now."
DDP is interrupted by the sudden appearance of Brent Albright.Albright:"Diamond Dallas Page. Former US champ. Former world champ. A guy who's been there and done that. You know your stuff. But you just made one mistake: see, I'm not some young upstart waiting for his shot. I've been there and done that myself. I've had that national spotlight and I've been mentored by the best."
DDP:"I'm sorry Brent. I don't...."
Albright covers the mic and says something to DDP.DDP:"Well, I'm sorry. I must have 'mis-spoke'. You're one of the true undervalued pro wrestlers out there today, no doubt about it."
Albright:"See, that's the problem! I'm so much more than just a 'rassler', but no one wants to see that! I can sing, I can dance, I can be funny. There's more than one dimension to Brent Albright. You see that, right? Right?!? (poking DDP in the chest) Hey, listen to this!"
Albright begins to sing Micheal Jackson's "Thriller" to a chorus of boos.DDP:"Hey, I gotta tell you...."
DDP is interrupted once again as Eddie Kingston makes his way to the ring.Kingston:"Brent, this nonsense has gone on long enough. You're making an ### of yourself in front of an honored guest of this company. You've had your shots and you've come up short. Live with it. But you can't, can you? See, everything you've ever gotten has just fallen right into your lap. I'll bet you were the standout athlete in high school. The popular guy. That's not how it went for some of us. Some of us had to fight for every little thing we've got. When you were dating the head cheerleader, I was walking the streets all night because I didn't have anywhere else to go. When you were busy signing contracts, I was busy bustin' my #### for a spot on some indy show for five bucks. BUt I took my oppurtunities and I made the best of them!All you've done is whine and complain!"
Albright:"Dating cheerleaders. That's not germane to the situation."
Kingston:"The god #### Germans got nothin' to do with it! I just need to know where you're head is at!"
Albright:"If you keep talking to me like that I know where YOUR head is gonna be!"
DDP:"Guys, guys, guys. Hey, there's one way to settle this. If you want to make an impact, you've got to take the oppurtunity you're given. That's no doubt, Eddie. And Albright, you've got all the tools in the box. So how about both of you put your money where your mouths are and settle it in the ring later tonight? What do you say?"
Albright:"Kingston I beat you once and I'll do it again. I say it'd be my pleasure."
Kingston:"That's all I've ever wanted since the LAST time we met, Albright. You talk a good game Brent, but right now you better duck or you're gonna be talking out your ####!"
Kingston throws a lariat and Albright ducks at the last moment and slides out of the ring. Brent points to his head then wags his finger at Kingston as Eddie begs him to get back in the ring. Instead Brent backs slowly down the aisle and leaves.(break)
Scotty Vortekz defeated Trent Acid in a fantastic match, overcoming interference from Brodie Lee and picking up the win with the DRAGONFLY.
[/b]
Scotty was on the verge of the win when Brodie reached up from ringside and shook the top rope, making Vortekz fall and setting up the ACID BOMB for the near fall. Trent tossed Scotty out of the ring and scaled the top rope, but Scotty caught him with a dropkick as he dove off the top. Both men crawled back into the ring and Scotty hit the DRAGONFLY to take the fall before Brodie could get involved again.[/center]
MRW commentator George Bell is joined by Scrap Iron and Associates in a backstage interview.Bell:"You gentlemen have got to be happy about the events that transpired earlier tonight between Adam Pearce and Eddie Kingston."
Pearce:"Hahaha. Exactly. Those two goofs can take each other out for all I care. The rest of the MRW remains divided and Scrap Iron and Associates just keeps getting stronger."
Sweeney:"And on that note, I've got a business meeting to go take care of. Delirious is about to take out Tyler Black next and I know he can do it without MY help, so daddy, I'll see you later."
Sweeney heads one way and a confused Delirious takes off in the other direction to get ready for his match. After they depart DDP makes his appearance.DDP:"Adam Pearce. Scrap Iron. Revolution champ and all-around big shot, huh?"
Bell:"I take it you've met Mr. Pearce."
Pearce:"Oh, we've met alright. I take it things are going a little better for you than they did in our last encounter."
DDP:"Oh, it's going great. Which is more than I'll be able to say for you when I'm done. Remember what you did with my book?"
Pearce:"How could I forget! I used a few pages for the only thing they were good for and I flushed the evidence when I was done."
DDP:"Yeah, well, what you did to those pages.....I'm gonna make sure that's what happens to your little group and your Revolution title reign. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a match to go watch."
Tyler Black defeated Delirious with the PHOENIX SPLASH.
Delirious looked good in this match, but Tyler hung in long enough to mount his comeback and hit the Phoenix Splash out of nowhere to get the pin. After the bout DDP got in the ring to congratulate Black and raise his hand. Then he unexpectedly turned to Delirious and offered his hand to help him up. The confused Delirious just rolled out of the ring and raced to the locker room.

The roulette wheel is rolled down to the ring and
Carmine The Shark comes out to preside over the next bout in the Gambler's Chance Tournament. The introductions are made and
Mark Knight steps into the ring to get comments from the competitors before the wheel is spun.
Knight:"Gentlemen, these could very well be your final comments to the fans of Midnight Revolution Wrestling. Necro, you have to win or you're gone. Mike, if you lose you will be tied with Necro and a tiebreaker match will have to occur. What are your thoughts before we spin the wheel and make the deal?"
Necro:"I do what I do for the good old American lifestyle. For the money, for the glory, for the fun....but mostly for the money. I'm not about to let a guy like little Mikey Quackenbush take that away from me, so let's go!"
Quackenbush:"You cost me my first win in this tournament two weeks ago when it looked like I had Hero beat. Then you hit me in the head with a staple gun when I confronted you about it. I forgive, but I don't forget. If I'm the one who ends up eliminating you from MRW, I can guarantee I won't be losing any sleep over it."
Knight:"Carmine, whenever you're ready!"
Carmine spins the wheel and it lands on......Falls Count Anywhere Match!
Mike Quackenbush beat Necro Butcher in a falls count anywhere match.
Quackenbush looked to keep the bout in the ring, but Necro managed to finally take it to the floor. Surprisingly, after a time on the floor Mike managed to recover and get the bout back into the ring. There he used a QUACKENDRIVER for a near fall, and followed up with a Swanton Dive to get the three count and send Necro Butcher packing from MRW.
George Bell is joined in the backstage area by Sara Del Rey and Scotty VortekzBell:"It looks like Necro lived the high life one too many times and ended up on the low road out of MRW. But fans, right now I'm joined by Scotty Vortekz and cruiserweight champ Sara Del Rey. You two have been somewhat of a team lately here in MRW, but last week we detected a little friction."
Scotty:"Yeah, what's goin' on, Sara?"
Sara:"Scotty, you're a nice guy but you just don't understand what I have to deal with here. I can't have someone trying to run in and save me like I'm the damsel in distress. I'm trying to earn some real credibility and overcome the gender bias that exists in this world. Sure, I'm the cruiserweight champ, but there are still some people who think it was just a fluke. I can't change their minds when I've got people trying to save me like I'm some video game princess kidnapped by a big ape."
Scotty:"Yeah, but Cannon was about to swing that chair at your head. I'd have done the same for any friend."
Sara:"Then where were you when Drake got taken out by Brodie Lee? I've got a rematch with Arik Cannon tonight and I NEED to do this on my own. Promise me you'll stay back here."
Scotty:"Okay. I don't have to like it, but fine. I'll stay in the back."
Bell:"There you have it folks. Sara Del Rey defends against Arik Cannon next on Midnight Revolution Wrestling!"
After the commercial break, Ultramantis Black is seen alone in the interview area.UMB:"Up until now everyone has been allowed to go about their business unmolested. But no more! The stars have aligned and my dark visions are about to be born. It is time for the Order of the Neo Solar Temple to rise once more! Soon we will spread like an iron hand over the Revolution arena and none shall be safe from our ramapage!"
In walks Diamond Dallas Page.DDP:"Hey, that's showing some initiative. The powers that be have ignored you for long enough, so you do something about it. Just like when you tried to whipe out Sweeney in the parking lot a few weeks back."
UMB:"You saw that? Some of my finer work, I must say."
DDP:"Oh yeah, you're one evil dude. You want to make a REAL impact, though? I've got a few suggestions. Let's get away from this camera and talk."
Arik Cannon, with an assist from Larry Sweeney, defeated Sara Del Rey to claim the cruiserweight championship.
Sara was in control for most of the bout, until Larry Sweeney made his way down the aisle. That provided the distraction Cannon needed to make his comeback. He knocked Sara out of the ring and, as he had the ref distracted, Sweeney pulled her legs out from under her as she tried to get back into the ring. Sara's hit the apron face-first, allowing Cannon to pull her back in and use a brainbuster for the win.
After the match, as the ref checks on Del Rey, Sweeney grabs the cruiserweight belt from the ring announcer and jumps into the ring to present it to Arik Cannon. He then announces Cannon as the newest member of "Scrap Iron and Associates" and the men embrace to a chorus of boos from the crowd.
Suddenly, the celebration is cut short by the appearance of
Ultramantis Black. UMB enters the ring and takes the mic.
UMB:"Scrap Iron and Associates is not the only faction growing stronger by the day, Sweeney. The Order of the Neo Solar Temple has arrived to tear asunder everything you hold so very dear!"
Sweeney:"Hey, bug brain, I don't know if you realize this or not, but you seem to be alone. One guy doesn't really make a faction. Or are you leading some kind of bug rebellion here? Arik, watch out and make sure you don't step on any of Ultramantis' teammates there!"
UMB:"You doubt my dark powers? Allow me to introduce my first member.....Chuck Taylor!"
Sweeney and Cannon laugh as a very serious looking Taylor makes his way to the ring.Taylor:"Laugh now and pay later! I've put up with too much and gotten nothing in return! I've had my arm busted by Albright, I've agreed to tag up with Delirious in hopes that it'd pay off with a spot on your team, and you went with cannon instead! Well, the gloves are off, no more Mr. nice guy! I'm evil! I scare children! And I want what is mine!"
Cannon(stepping up to go face-to-face with Taylor):"And what exactly is that, Taylor?"
Taylor:"I want respect....and that cruiserweight belt!"
Sweeney:"You want Arik's belt? What have you done? Who have you beaten?"
Cannon:"More importantly, let's say I give you the shot: what do you have to offer in return? What's in it for me?"
(UMB and Taylor step back and confer)Taylor:"If I win, I get the belt. If you win....I...you...you get to shave me bald!"
Sweeney:"I like it. We get to take your scalp and end this dream of some Solar Neo-something or other before it gets going. Let's get it signed for next week! And anyway, two guys is a tag team, not a faction!"
UMB:"Oh, that's where you're wrong. The NST is THREE members strong! I think you know our thrid man, DELIRIOUS!"
Sweeney and Cannon are shocked as Delirious races down the aisle.UMB:"While you've been busy persuing other interests, you've allowed Delirious to suffer. He has been completely mismanaged and all it took was someone who speaks his unique language of mayhem to point that out to him."
Sweeney:"You can't do that! Delirious is under contract to Scrap Iron and Associates! He's OUR property!"
UMB:"And that's where the second part of our challenge comes into play. Next week, we have the rematch of all rematches. You and me, one on one, with Delirious' contract as the prize!"
Sweeney:"Normally I'd want to run it by Pearce first, but what the hell! I beat you once and I'll do it again! Then Delirious, belive me when I say you'll pay for this attempted stunt, daddy! You think you've been buried so far, you just wait jack! You'll be cleaning the champ's toilets for a living when we're done!"
The wheel is rolled down once again and it's time for the finals of the Gambler's Chance tournament. Carmine spins the wheel and the match is selected......Taped Fists match!
Chris Hero defeated Claudio Castagnoli to win the Gambler's Chance tournament.
[/b]
The deciding factor came when Johnny Fairplay tossed a pair of brass knucks into the ring. Hero caught them and used them to knock out Claudio and take the win.[/center]
Afterwards, Fairplay jumped into the ring and looked down at the fallen Castagnoli.[/i]
Fairplay:"Sorry Claudio. My throw might have been a little better if your last check would've cleared! Your jaw might as well match your bank account....broke!"
Fairplay congratulates Hero on his win and leaves as DDP hits the ring to award the trophy to the winner.DDP:"Man, I don't even feel good about doing this now that I see the way you won, but a deal's a deal. Hero, you've got talent, I'll give you that. It just doesn't mean I have to like you."
Hero:"Oh, you don't have to like it, but you've got to learn to live with it. Is it my fault Claudio can't pay his hired help? I don't mean to sound bitter, cold, or cruel, but I am, so that's how it comes out. I won, he lost. Now raise my hand."
DDP:"No, I don't think so, man. In fact, I don't even want to be in the same ring with you. Take the trophy, I'm out of here."
Hero:"Hey, wait! For winning this thing, I get more than just a trophy and a nice, fat check. Those things are nice, especially the money, but I also get one match of my choice. I'm cashing it in, I want to anhilliate the illusion of DDP for everyone to see. You and me, next week! What do you say, Page?"
DDP:"I say I'm retired, or else I'd love a chance at shutting you up. Now, if you'll excuse me, I said I'M LEAVING."
Page turns to leave and is blindsided by Hero. Hero begins stomping DDP mercilessly until TYLER BLACK runs down to make the save. Black tosses Hero out of the ring and MRW security rushes in to get between them. Black helps DDP to his feet as security escorts Hero out of the arena.(final break)
The introductions are made and Eddie Kingston comes to the ring. Albright is introduced and makes his way to the ring. Albright is upset over his introduction and tells the ring announcer to start over. He leaves and the intro begins again. This time the ring announcer calls out
"The Complete Sports Entertainer" Brent Albright.
Eddie Kingston defeated Brent Albright in a 4-star match to become the official number one contender to the Revolution championship.
Albright had the match won, but stopped to play to the crowd, posing like HBK before cupping his hand to his ear for crowd reaction ala Hulk Hogan. That gave Kingston an opening to hit the Backfist To The Future and score the win.
After the bout Albright sat on his knees in the middle of the ring, looking around in a bewildered fashion. He slapped the mat with his palms once, then again, then finally errupted into an all-out tantrum as the show went off the air.
