JR: Fans, this next match is for the richest prize in our industry. It's the most coveted prize in this business today. And two young lions will hook it up for 90 minutes. World Champion, Billy James defends against his former best friend and Perfection Connection member, Mark Ward, Jr. It's being back and forth between the two for quite sometime. It all ends here tonight. They have 90 minutes to settle this issue. Let's head up to the ring.
The crowd are setting down in their seats when a drum beat starts to play for about a minute, but nothing happens, no one appears. All of a sudden the Words "Lay your hands on me" are repeated. A huge guitar rift starts to play as his pyros explode either side of the stage. Bon Jovi's "Lay Your Hands On Me" Starts to boom through the speakers. The smoke starts to clear and Hot Stuff Mark Ward is seen standing on the top of the stage. He points to the fans on the left side of him, then to the fans on the right. He starts to grind his hips as the rock music continues to blast out. He takes a few steps forward to the beginning of the ramp and does a double muscle pose, causing more pyros to explode behind him. Hot Stuff is wearing his usual tight black shorts with HS on the back and black boots. He slowly walks down the ramp, stopping every few feet to pose for the ladies in attendance and quickly moving away from them with a look of disgust. Hot Stuff walks up to the ropes and jumps over them, before running and jumping on to the ropes, his arms held high in the air as boos echo around. He jumps down and loosens up his arms.
JR: Hot Stuff looks ready.
King: Definately.
The fans wait patiently, anticipating the beginning of this big show and a buzz of conversation begins to fill the entire arena about the great night of action that will be taking place later on. Suddenly, without warning, "Cherry Pie" by Warrant begins to pump out through the arena's PA system at a deafening volume. The male fans in the arena suddenly become pumped up and get to their feet as they realize what that music always signifies. Suddenly the male fans erupt into cheers, hoots, hollers and catcalls when, Kristen Hayes walks out from the back and makes her way down the ramp. Kristen is wearing a white baby-tee with a black leather miniskirt and black high heel boots. She slowly walks down the ramp with a smile on her face, as she walks down to the ring, ignoring all the men who reach out, hoot and holler at her. She climbs up the steel steps and climbs into the ring between the bottom and second rope. She then gets a microphone from someone at ring side and begins her introductions.
Kristen Hayes: Everyone... if I may have your attention please! At this time, I would like to introduce to all of you, hailing from Miami, Florida... he measures in at a perfectly precise six feet and one inch tall and weighs in at a lean, masculine, muscular two hundred and thirty seven pounds of pure beefcake!
The PA system comes alive with the opening chords of Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and the entire arena raises to their feet as they watch the top of the ramp intently.
Kristen Hayes: He is the hottest, the best looking and, of course, the most beautiful man in the history of Global Championship Wrestling and the entire world! He is also, without a doubt, the best damn wrestler to ever step foot inside of an GCW ring and is a member and co-founder of the illustrious Perfection Connection!
The fans explode into cheers at the mention of the Perfection Connection.
Kristen Hayes: And he is the 3 time and current Global Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion....... "Beautiful"... Billy... James!!!!
The fans then explode into deafening cheers at the announcement just as "Beautiful" Billy James steps out through the curtain into the arena. The fans begin to cheer even louder as they actually see Billy. The fans are going crazy to see that Billy has returned to his old wrestling attire. James is wearing a black wrestling singlet with a red trim, red knee pads with a black trim, black boots with red laces and black grappling gloves with long black elbow pads that reach down the gloves. James is still also wearing, as per usual, his trademark dark sunglasses. James walks to the edge of the stage right at the top of the ramp and then stops. James then does a double bicep pose and the girls in the arena start to shriek with delight as his red pyros flare off straight up from either side of James. James then gives a bit of a smirk and a huge red pyro explodes behind him! Billy then grins widely as he lowers his arms and then strikes a bit of a pose with a huge smile on his face. Billy then stops what he's doing and continues on, continuing to walk down the ramp. As James reaches the bottom of the ramp he quickly leaps up onto the steel steps. As James slowly climbs the steps he looks over at a group of young female fans that are seated in the front row ringside and winks at the girls. The girls go insane as James leaps onto the apron, with a big smile on his face. James then stands on the apron and turns toward the crowd and strikes another bicep pose and the women in the arena once again shriek James then lowers his arms, and mouths something to a few women in the front row who then go absolutely insane. Billy then stops and rolls over the ropes backwards into the ring, landing on his feet. James then runs over and quickly leaps onto the turnbuckle and strikes another double bicep pose as the women continue to go insane. James once again lowers his arms and this time he rubs his chest a bit as the women shriek loudly over it. He then continues to do a backflip right off the turnbuckle, landing on his feet on the mat with a giant smirk on his face as he laughs to himself.
JR: A lot of pagentry and rightfully so for the biggest championship in this business. Billy puts up the gold and diamonds tonight.
King: JR, I've been in 60 minute matches and I'll tell you, those are hard to get through. But these two are fixin to go for an extra 30 minutes.

King: That's it! Billy's gonna tap... it's gonna be 3 to 2 for Mark!
JR: I don't know what's gonna happen... Bily has NEVER tapped in his entire wrestling career!
King: Well Billy had never been pinned either until a month ago. But things change.. and tonight Billy will tap!

The referee continually checks on Billy, and Billy starts to fade, but still answers the referee and refuses to give up. The referee continually checks on him, and Mark becomes frustrated as Billy continues to take the pain, and while still fading, will not give up.
JR: Mark has had that submission move on for a long time now.
King: I know.. this is ridiculous! It has to have been nearly 5 minutes now! Why won't Billy just give up or else he'll spend the rest of the match in this hold!
JR: Billy's a stubborn SOB... that's why! And we've got plenty of action to go as we're only 52 minutes into this 90 minute matchup!
After a few more moments of the same, the referee once again asks Billy if he submits, but there is no responce. The referee then grabs Billy's arm and lifts it up to check if he's conscious, but as he releases it, Billy's arm stays up, but he is clearly very weak. Mark then cranks the hold a bit more and Billy's arm just drops right down to the mat. Mark cranks on the hold, grinding his arms into Billy's a face repeatedly for a few more moments. Mark then finally releases the hold and rolls Billy onto his back for a pin attempt, 1... 2... Billy kicks out!! Hot Stuff gets infuriated and just rolls out of the ring. Mark walks over near the announce position and grabs a steel chair from ringside, and heads back to the ring.
JR: What the hell is with the steel chair?!? This is ridiculous!
King: Hey, it's no disqualifications! Mark can use whatever he wants. Isn't this great!?!
Mark pushes the chair into the ring and then rolls into the ring as well. Mark then stands up and grabs the steel chair, as Billy is seen slowly pulling himself up using the ropes. As Billy is still getting to his feet, Mark charges in at him, with the steel chair high above his head. Mark swings the chair down at Billy as he pulls himself up with the ropes, but Billy sees it in time a drops down to the mat out of the way. Mark's swing then hits the top rope and bounces back, causing the chair to bounce back and hit Mark right in the face! The shot caues Mark to drop the chair and stumble back, and Billy takes advantage of his position down on the mat to roll Mark up with a pin and grabs a hand full of tights in the process, 1.. 2.. 3!!!
King: ACK!!! NO!!! That's not right!
JR: Oh, it's very right King! Billy just scored another point and he's up 3 to 2 at the 55 minute mark!
Right after the pinfall, Billy rolls right out of the ring to the floor. Mark sits up and his eyes are wide as he's in complete shock of what's happened. Mark then turns his head and looks to Billy on the outside, who just points at Mark and starts to laugh hysterically. Mark's expression turns to that of anger and he quickly gets up to his feet and then charges towards Billy and leaps over the top with a plancha towards him. Billy quickly sidesteps and pushes Mark along, sending him flying right into the barricade! Billy then stomps away on Mark on the outside, before grabbing Mark and picking him up. Billy then takes Mark, and whips him right into the steel ringpost, and Mark collides with it with his left shoulder and falls to the mat clutching it. Billy then comes over and drops an elbow right across Mark's back, as he tries to push himself back up. Billy then grabs Mark by the head and just pulls him up and rolls him right into the ring. Billy then climbs up onto the apron and springboards over into the ring and hits a legdrop right across the throat of Mark. Billy then tries for a cover, 1.. 2.. Mark kicks out. Billy then picks Mark back up and hooks him up for a suplex. Billy lifts Mark up for a suplex, but Mark floats through it, coming down behind Billy and in one fluid motion, Mark nails Billy with a reverse DDT. Mark reaches over to grab the leg for the pin, 1.. 2.. Billy kicks out!
JR: Lots of near falls here.
King: But Hot Stuff needs to actually get a fall. Actually, two of them if he wants to win this. We've hit ONE HOUR and Billy is still up 3 to 2!
JR: Both of these men must be completely exhausted in there... and it's becoming quite visible as both men are slowing down, and neither man can hit any move big enough to keep the other down.
King: I'm just glad this match wasn't a 60-minute Iron Man. Billy would've won!
JR: I suppose that's true, King. But now Mark still has 30 minutes to make a comeback here and win the title.
Mark picks Billy up by the hair and just tosses him right into the corner. Mark then starts to nail Billy with a variety of punches and kicks, knocking him down to the mat. Mark then leans back while holding onto the ropes and puts a foot across Billy's throat, choking him out! The referee comes over and admonishes Mark, and tries to get him to release the hold, but Mark just completely ignores the referee and continues to choke out Billy.
JR: Oh, come on! What the hell?!? This is not right!
King: It's no DQ, JR! It's ALL legal!!!
JR: It still doesn't make it right, damnit!
As Mark is preoccupied, arguing with the referee, he still continues to choke out Billy with a boot across the throat. However, Mark doesn't notice as Billy then suddenly starts to counter, as he lifts his legs up and suddenly, grabs his leg around Mark's on leg, and at the same time grabs Mark by his foot. Billy quickly gets Mark's foot from off of him, and is able to take him down right to the mat and lock him right into a side leglock! Mark screams out in pain from the move and tries to fight it off. Mark then realizes how close he is to the ropes and reaches over and quickly grabs them. The referee then looks to Billy for the break, but Billy just smiles back and shakes his head no. Mark continues to scream out in pain as he clutches the bottom rope tightly!
King: What the heck?!? He's not breaking the hold! That's not fair!
JR: In your own words, King... it's ALL legal!
Mark uses the ropes to pull himself closer to the apron, as he and Billy are both dragged by this. Mark then continues to pull himself under the ropes and then pushes past the ropes, putting himself sort of half hanging out of the ring. Mark then pushes himself right off the side, in attempt to force Billy to release the hold, but Billy still keeps a tight hold on the leg, and Mark ends up bending backwards, with his leg being cranked by Billy, and now bent across the apron, as he hands from the apron, being held in the submission by Billy!
JR: Big mistake by Hot Stuff. He tried to get Billy to drop him out of the hold, but instead Billy just held on and Mark has made matters even worse for himself.
Mark screams out in pain, as Billy holds onto him. Mark's weight is working against Billy as he tries to keep on the hold, and his grip on Mark begins to slowly slip, as the weight also starts Billy to slightly slide a bit more towards the edge of the ring, and Billy plants one foot on the bottom rope, to keep himself from sliding any more. Billy's grip continues to slip, as he holds Mark's entire weight, and Mark eventually just gives up and lets go off Mark's leg. Mark then suddenly drops, and falls right on his head on the outside of the ring. Mark then quickly grabs his head with one hand, as he embraces his right knee with the other. Billy slides out of the ring to where Mark is. Billy then rolls Mark into the ring and then begins to search under the ring and pulls out a table. Billy then slides the table into the ring and then rolls in as well. Mark is just getting back to his feet, and Billy quickly grabs him by the head and smacks him head first into the turnbuckle, and Mark falls after the impact. Billy then goes over, and opens up the table, folding out the legs of it. Billy then pulls it up, and is setting it up perpendicular to the corner, as Mark is now getting up and slowly climbing to the top rope. After setting up the table, Billy turns around to see Mark getting up top. Billy quickly rushes over, but Mark kicks Billy right in the face as he rushes in. Billy grabs his face and spins around and stumbles away from the shot. With Billy's back now facing Mark, Hot Stuff then leaps up and nails a top rope bulldog that ends up putting him and Billy right through the table!!! Mark then rolls Billy onto his back and covers him, 1.. 2.. 3!!!
JR: There it is, it's all tied up!!!
King: WOO HOO! Tied 3 to 3 at 70 minutes!
Mark gets up, and starts to hobble a bit, as his right leg is still weak from earlier. Mark rolls Billy out of the wreckage that remains of the table, and then pushes the remains of the table out of the ring. Mark then grabs Billy and lifts him up. He then grabs Billy from behind in a reverse DDT position, setting him up for the Heat Seaker. Billy quickly counters by turning his body so he's got his head under Mark's arm and then reverses it right into northern lights suplex. Billy bridges the move for a pin, 1.. 2.. Mark kicks out. Both men get up and Mark quickly charges at Billy and Billy takes him down with an armdrag and then locks on a quick armlock before Mark quickly wiggles free. Both men then get back up and they start to trade right hands back and forth, but begin to each throw their punches slower and slower as they begin to lose their wind. Billy eventually takes the advantage and backs Mark into the corner with right hands. Billy then goes to irish whip Mark to the opposite side, but Mark reverses it and sends Billy to the far corner. Mark then runs in at Billy, but Billy gets a foot up and nails Mark right in the face. Mark turns and goes stumbling away and Billy quickly hops up onto the second rope. Billy then does a flip over Mark, grabbing his head into the process putting Mark right into a stunner!
JR: The Simply Stunning!!!
Mark bounces back up to his feet after the Simply Stunning, and kinda stumbles around with a dazed look in his eyes. Billy gets up back to his feet and then turns to Mark as he stumbles towards him, and Billy kicks him in the gut and plants him with a front face DDT, the Dazzling Driver!!! Billy then gets up, runs to the ropes and springboards off with the Sexy Splash right on Mark!!! Billy then hooks the leg to finally make the cover, 1.. 2.. 3!!!
King: AH! NOT AGAIN! It's 4 to 3 for Billy!
JR: Billy wanted to make sure Mark stayed down. He hit the Simply Stunning, followed by the Dazzling Driver and then the Sexy Splash... three of his trademark moves, and then made the pin. He's now up 4 to 3 at 73 minutes!
Billy goes to pick up Mark, Hot Stuff quickly grabs Billy's head as he does so, and drops him right into a jawbreaker. The move stuns Billy for a moment and Mark takes advantage by getting up and nailing Billy with a dropkick right to the face. Mark got back up, as Billy slowly pushed himself up afterwards. Mark backs Billy into the ropes and then irish whips him off. As Billy comes back, Mark goes to nail him with a kick, but Billy does a baseball slide under Mark's leg and behind him. Billy slides right by the steel chair left in the ring and goes to grab it. Mark quickly spins around and as Billy is starting to pick up the chair, Mark quickly steps on it, stopping him from doing so and then nails Billy with a knee right to the side of the head, knocking him back. Mark then grabs Billy and picks him up and does a standing switch to behind him. Mark then quickly pulls Billy bent back to put put in position for a reverse DDT and then hits the Heat Seeker, right on top of the steel chair!!! Hot Stuff then quickly pushes the chair out of the way and pins Billy, 1... 2... 3!!!
King: WOO HOO! Another point for Hot Stuff!
JR: The Heat Seaker is enough to tie it up, it's now 4 to 4 at the 75 minute mark.
Hot Stuff then quickly rolls out of the ring and grabs a second steel chair. Hot Stuff slides back in and then opens up the steel chair. As soon as he does, Billy gets back up and comes running in at him, and Hot Stuff quickly nails him with a drop toehold, sending Billy face first into the steel chair. Mark then gets up as Billy bounces back up from the impact and Mark DDTs him hard into the mat. Mark then grabs the other steel chair, and drops it next to him, where he crouches down, as he stands in waiting for Billy to get back up. Billy slowly pushes himself up using the opened chair, and as he reaches his feet, he turns around to see Mark. Mark quickly takes a step to him and then nails him with the Red Hot! The shot sends Billy falling back, and Billy falls right into a sitting position in the opened chair. Mark then looks at Billy who has a dazed look on his face, and seems out of it from the kick. Mark then picks up the second steel chair and tosses it right at Billy's face. Billy manages to catch the chair while still in the daze from the previous shot. Mark then nails the Red Hot again to the chair, sending the steel chair right back into Billy's face with great force! The shot sends the chair toppling over and Billy spilling out to the mat with the chair laying over his face. Mark quickly goes over and drops down. He then pulls the chair off of Billy's face, to reveal that Billy was busted wide open from the shot, as blood runs down his face. Mark then quickly hooks Billy's leg for a pin, 1.. 2.. 3!!!
King: That's it! Mark's the new champion!
JR: I think that's being a tad bit premature. However we are at the 78 minute mark, and Hot Stuff just hit Billy with two consecutive Red Hot's, one invovling a steel chair that busted Billy open. Mark now has the lead with a score of 5 to 4.
Mark quickly gets up and grabs the opened steel chair, which is now completely destroyed after what just happened. Mark takes the mangled chair, and throws it out of the ring, leaving the one other chair remaining in the ring. Mark grabs that steel chair and starts to bash away at the head of Billy, while he's still laid out. Mark then takes the edge of it, and starts to ram it right into the gut of Billy, and then stands over Billy, and takes it and drives it right into his throat. Billy gasps for air, as Mark stands over him and stomps him a few times. Mark then unfolds the chair and sets it up. Mark then pulls Billy up to his feet, sets him up. Mark then lifts him in a DDT position, holds it for a few seconds before dropping him into the Hotter than Hell, right onto the chair!! The impact crumbles the opened chair as Billy goes head first into it! Hot Stuff then pushes Billy out of the remaining rubble of the chair, and kicks the chair right out of the ring. Mark then hooks Billy's leg for a pin, 1.. 2.. 3!!!
King: HAHA! This is great! Mark gets another pin!!
JR: It's now 6 to 4 in favor of the challenger, "Hot Stuff" Mark Ward!
King: And did you see that move?!? I don't think Billy will be able to take any more of this. Good thing it's already 80 minutes. Only 10 minutes left! Mark's got this one in the bag.
Mark continues to stomp and pound away on Billy viciously, as he now bleeds profusely from the now large cut across his head. Mark even takes the destroyed remains of the chair in the ring, and starts to use the different edges, to grind into the forehead of Billy, cutting him up even more with it. Mark then pulls Billy to his feet and props him into the corner and then nails him with a shot right to the gut, with one of the piercing corners of the destroyed chair, before blasting him in the head with it, and Billy falls out of the corner flat on his face. Mark then picks Billy back up and backs him against the ropes with some forearm shots right across the chest. Mark then irish whips Billy across the ring and as Billy goes back, Mark goes for a clothesline. Billy surprisingly manages to duck under the attempt and runs to the far side. Mark turns to him, just as Billy bounces back, and Billy comes flying and nails Mark with a cross body, and goes bouncing away upon landing. Billy then rolls right out of the ring, and then stumbles over near the announce position and grabs another steel chair as Mark tries to get himself up off of the mat.
JR: That's the third steel chair being brought into play here tonight. Two others have already been destroyed!
As Mark is getting up, he gets on his knees and begs Billy off as Billy slides in the ring, and approaches him with the steel chair over his head. As Billy approaches, Mark then quickly grabs Billy by the tights and pulls him in, right into a low blow! Billy doubles over and grabs himself in pain and quickly drops the steel chair. Hot Stuff then gets to his feet and sends Billy back with repeated right hands, backing him right into the corner. After getting backed into the corner, Billy quickly props himself up in the corner and lifts his legs up between him and Mark, to then push Mark back, sending him tumbling backwards. Billy then quickly takes one leap right up to the top rope, but Mark is back up to his feet and gets up and shakes the top rope so that Billy gets crotched up on top of the turnbuckle. Mark then climbs up top with Billy, getting ready to hit a move off the top. Hot Stuff leaps up onto Billy's shoulders for a frankensteiner, but Billy quickly grabs him to block the attempt. Billy holds Ward up, holding him in a powerbomb position and then spins him around so that Ward gets spun behind, sitting up on Billy's shoulders. Billy then reaches up and pushes Mark back, so Mark drops backward and his back ends up right against Billy's back. Billy then releases his grasp on Mark's legs and quickly hooks Mark's arms instead and Mark's legs end up coming off away from Billy's shoulder's and Billy uses their interlocking arms to hold Mark up like that. Billy now has it set up so that Mark is hanging upside down, back to back with Billy with their arms interlinked.
JR: Oh my God! Did you see what he just did!?! What a counter!
King: I can't believe it! Did he just do what I think he did?!? He wouldn't do it... would he?!? He can't!!!
JR: Let's hope not, for Mark's sake!
In this position, Billy then has Hot Stuff set up for, and leaps right off the top rope to drops him right into, an amazing version of the BeautiBreaker!!! Billy then just turns over and tosses an arm across Mark's chest, 1.. 2.. 3!!!
JR: OH MY GOD! He did it!!! I can't believe it!
King: Billy just hit the BeautiBreaker off the top rope!!! Mark's neck must be broken!!! This is horrible!!!
JR: Neither man is moving! Mark is still in the lead, 6 to 5, and both men are laid out at 83 minutes, with 7 minutes left to go!!!
Both men remain laid out in the ring, neither man moving at all, as the fans in the arena begin a chant of "Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit!". The referee checks on both men, as they are both still laying out in the ring, now both slowly beginning to move. Billy crawls over to the ropes, and uses them to pull himself up, as Hot Stuff slowly pushes himself back to his feet. Billy then charges right at Hot Stuff, and Hot Stuff quickly lifts him over with back body drop. Billy crashes down on his back and holds it in pain, as Hot Stuff's legs give out and he falls to his knees right after the move. Mark then climbs back up to his feet and turns around to see Billy pulling himself up with the ropes ago. Mark then charges in at Billy. Billy sees Mark coming and quickly drops down and pulls down the top rope, low-bridging Mark and sending him tumbling over the top to the outside. Billy then picks himself back up, and grabs the steel chair laying in the ring. Mark climbs back up onto the apron as Billy grabs the steel chair and comes back at him. As Mark stands up on the apron, Billy swings the chair, but Mark quickly ducks under it, and the chair crashes against the steel turnbuckle pole. Before Billy gets a chance to react, Mark quickly grabs him by the head and drops down, hanging him up throat-first against the top rope! Billy drops the chair to the outside as he goes to grab his throat and stumbles away. Billy then looks outside to see Mark picking up the steel chair on the floor. As Mark stands back up with the chair, Billy quickly runs towards him and then does a baseball slide right at Mark. Hot Stuff sees it coming and dodges it, causing Billy to slide right out of the ring. As Billy comes sliding out of the ring, Mark then takes the chair and cracks him right across the top of the head of Billy!!! Billy falls right to the floor and then Mark starts to take Billy apart, bashing him with the chair, and driving the edge into him at points. Mark then picks Billy up and leans him against the ring. Mark then takes the chair and drills the top of the chair right into the gut of Billy. Billy grabs his stomach as he doubles over and then falls right to the ground. Mark then just kicks him in the face once before cracking him right over the skull with the steel chair! Mark grabs Billy by the hair, pulling his face up and looks right in Billy's face, as blood pours down, and becomes to scream at and taunt him. Mark then takes Billy, and rolls him right on top of the Spanish Announce Table!
JR: Oh no! Mark's setting up Billy on our Spanish Announce table!
King: HAHA! Get out of the Jorge!! HAHA!
Mark lays Billy right across the table, and then takes the chair and suddenly begins to repeatedly crack Billy over the head, chest and legs with the steel chair. Mark viciously continues to rain down chair shots over and over again. Mark then eventually stops and drops the steel chair and then walks over and climbs up onto the apron. Mark then climbs up onto the top turnbuckle and looks down at Billy, as he's laid out on top of the Spanish Announce table.
JR: DON'T DO IT, MARK!!! Damnit, this is insane!!! Don't do it!!!
King: I agree with you, JR! He can't do this! This... this will kill 'em both!
Mark then suddenly stands up straight on top turnbuckle, then suddenly flies off with a Shooting Star Press! Mark flies through the air and crashes down right on top of Billy, causing the table to basically explode upon the impact! Both men fall with the rubble, with Mark laid out across Billy.
JR: OH MY GOD! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MOVE!
King: I called it.. they're dead! They both have to be dead!
After a few moments of neither man moving, suddenly Mark sits up out of the rubble, and stumbles up to his feet. Mark then grabs Billy by the hair and pulls him to his feet and rolls him into the ring. Mark then slides in as well and covers Billy, 1.. 2.. 3. NO! Billy kicks out just before the three. Mark looks like he can't even believe it, and shoves Billy down to the mat, and those time hooks both of the legs as well, 1.. 2.. Billy kicks out again! Mark then quickly rolls out of the ring and grabs the steel chair and slides it back in. Mark then gets back into the ring and grabs the steel chair with one hand and then turns to face Billy. Mark then turns to see Billy on is knees, just sitting in the middle of the ring, as blood pours down his face and he seems to try to get up. Mark then walks over with his steel chair in one hand and grabs Billy by the hair with his other hand to pull him up. As Mark grabs him, suddenly Billy quickly snatches Mark and rolls him right into a small package pin, 1.. 2.. 3!!! The pin breaks up right after the three and Mark just lays there and shock as Billy pops to his feet and holds arms high in the air, but after a moment just stumbles back down to his knees then falls down to the mat.
JR: Oh my God! Can ya believe it?!? Billy's running on empty, but he just pulled out another pinfall to tie this up!
King: NO! This can't be right! Mark's only got 5 minutes left... we're 85 minutes in and unless Mark can get another point, he doesn't win the title!
JR: That's right King, it's tied 6 to 6. If Billy gets another point he wins and keeps the title. But if it goes to a draw, Billy still gets to keep the title. Mark has to get another point if he wants to win this World title. And with only 5 minutes left I don't know if he can do it.
Mark sits there in complete shock for a moment, before quickly reaching over and grabbing the steel chair he had once again. Mark then waits as Billy pulls himself back up again, and then Billy turns around to a steel chair shot right to the face!!! Billy just falls back down to the mat, and Mark takes the edge of the steel chair, and starts to ram it right into the right knee of Billy. Mark then sets up the steel chair on Billy's knee, and then uses the bottom rope to springboard and then jumps down and stomps right on top of the steel chair, which crunches the knee of Billy. Billy grabs his knee and tries to roll away from Mark as he pushes the chair from off his leg. Mark then picks the chair back up, and as Billy lays on his side, holding his knee, Mark nails him with a chair shot right across the back! Mark then pulls Billy up by the hair and tosses him at the ropes, and Billy hooks the ropes with his arms to hold himself up. Mark then runs to the other side of the ring and bounces off the far ropes. Billy then comes off from his side and goes at Mark as Mark comes bouncing back, but Mark runs straight at Billy, nailing a huge chair shot right to his face!!! Billy takes the shot right in the face, and the impact causes him to do a full backflip from the shot, crashing down on his stomach, as the sound of the steel chair shot echoes through the arena! Mark drops down and rolls Billy onto his back, 1.. 2.. Billy kicks out again!
King: What?!? How'd he kick out?!? That's not possible!
JR: This kid's got a lot of heart, and he's not about to let that World title go.
King: Well he might have to! Otherwise Mark might just have to kill him to win that title!
JR: Well we're now at 87 minutes! If Billy can hold on for 3 more minutes, he gets to keep the gold.
Mark gets up, as he becomes visibly frustrated. Mark grabs the chair again, and as Billy slowly attempts to get up, Mark just cracks him right up against the skull with the chair shot! Mark then drops the chair on the ground and pulls Billy up to his feet. He then quickly pulls Billy in, and drills him with a single arm DDT right onto the chair. Mark rolls Billy onto his back and covers him, 1.. 2.. Billy still manages to kick out!!! Mark then gets up and looks down at Billy for a few moments, and then grabs the steel chair. Mark waits as Billy is slowly getting back up, and suddenly Hot Stuff starts to climb up top, with the steel chair in his hand. Mark stands on the top turnbuckle, clutching the steel chair with both hands and waits, as Billy is very slowly getting back to his feet. Billy finally reaches his feet, and Mark flies of the top rope, and comes down with a flying steel chair shot right to the face of Billy!!! Billy gets knocked flat out on the mat and doesn't move, as Mark quickly hooks the leg for the pin, 1.. 2.. 3!!!
King: WOO HOO! Mark gets another point! It's over now! There's only one minute left!
JR: Billy's gotta gain a point here in the next 60 seconds, or his title is gone.
Mark gets up and starts to celebrate as the fans are erupting into boos. Mark jumps up onto the turnbuckle and taunts the crowd and receives even more boos. Mark then hops down and leans back in the turnbuckle, as we watches Billy. Billy slowly begins to crawl, pulling himself across the ring to where Mark is. Billy eventually reaches Mark's feet and then uses Mark's legs to pull himself up to his knees. Billy then looks up at Mark, and Billy grabs him and pulls himself up, slowly using Mark's body. Billy then finally gets himself to his feet, but is too weak to even raise his arm, and Mark just flashes a wide smile at him. Billy attempts to throw a punch, but Mark blocks it and just pushes Billy back, and Billy stumbles back and then falls to his knees, when suddenly the buzzer blares loudly through the arena! Billy's head just drops to the mat as he hears the sound and Mark's smile begins wider.
King: WOO HOO! It's over! 90 minutes are up and with a score of 7 to 6, Hot Stuff Mark Wad is our new GCW World Heavyweight champion!!!
JR: Billy just didn't have enough to do anything at the end. Mark literally took Billy apart with that steel chair, and Billy is completely weakened. And if that wasn't even, Billy has clearly lost a helluva lot of blood.
King: Yeah... I think it's time to get some EMTs out here for Billy. This doesn't look too good.
Billy pulls himself to his feet again, and is barely able to stand up. The referee then comes in, to hand the title to Mark, and as Mark is about to grab it, he suddenly turns towards Billy and nails him with another Red Hot! Mark then picks up the steel chair, and starts to ruthlessly just beat Billy with the chair over and over again, nailing Billy with shots all over his body!
JR: This is sick! Someone has to stop this!
King: Who?!? I think all of the other PC members probably don't even know what's going on.
JR: Well we know Adam Rich has been taken to the local hospital, and Jordan Williams was being checked out in the back by our EMTs. Who the hell is gonna come out here and stop this?!?
Suddenly the fans erupt into cheers as Edge runs down the ramp full speed. Edge slides right into the ring and charges at Hot Stuff from behind. Mark turns around just in time to see Edge, and he quickly jumps out of the way and Edge goes flying shoulder-first right into the steel post. Edge goes stumbling out and Hot Stuff then nails him right in the face with a steel chair shot, which sends Edge falling back through the ropes out of the ring. Hot Stuff then takes Billy again, picks him up a bit, and then nails him with another shot right across the face. Billy then falls back down to the mat again in a heap, and Mark continues to pound away at Billy with the steel chair. Suddenly "Cocky" by Kid Rock plays, and the fans erupt into cheer as Jordan "PS" Williams bursts out through the curtain, heavily bandaged. Jordan storms down the ring, and then slides into the ring. Jordan heads right towards Billy, and Mark quickly backs off, and drops the chair as Jordan goes over and checks on Billy. Jordan then grabs Billy by the arm, and helps him up, as he just glares at Mark, and Mark returns a stare back to him. Suddenly Edge slides back into the ring and charges right at Mark. Mark notices Edge coming at the last moment and turns towards him just in time to receive a spear!!! Mark quickly rolls out of the ring after the shot, and the referee runs over and hands Hot Stuff the GCW World Heavyweight Championship belt. Mark holds the belt high in the air, as the referee raises his arm and "Lay Your Hands on Me" plays. The fans boo extremely loud, as Mark has a wide grin on his face. Back in the ring, Jordan Williams and Edge each grab Billy under an arm, and help him back up. They then help him out of the ring and up the ramp.
JR: I can't believe it! What an amazing night! That's all for Bad Blood folks... we'll see you next week on Mauling!!!
