SAM HEWITT:
Hello fight fans! I'm Sam Hewitt alongside Mandeville Nelson and Chad Gomez. This edition of Mane Event is expected to one of our biggest yet... six bouts lined up with three of them capable of being main events anywhere here in North America. Of course, at the top of the program you saw the highlights of the previous two matches between Heritage Champion La Cucaracha and her challenger Alexander Irvine. Both of those bouts ended in a stalemate, but tonight - a ladder match will settle things as there must be a winner!
MANDEVILLE NELSON: Let us not forget about the great Laurentide Cup! Two matches! One from Block A and a second from Block B! King of the Lions Champion Julian Cutlass will battle the French Canadian colossus Kraken! A win over Cutlass can not only cement Kraken's claim to a title match, but thanks to the double knockout last week - it could eliminate Cutlass from the Cup's final rounds. Cutlass can end Kraken's Cup campaign here tonight with a win also.
CHAD GOMEZ: While Block B is just beginning! Matt Pulver battles Justin Seville in a first time meeting that has got everyone's mouths watering and for good reason, it could be the best bout of the whole tournament. SAM HEWITT: No doubt about it! Mandy, what have you got for us tonight?MANDEVILLE NELSON: I am glad you asked! I have an interview with Grace Kazoulis lined up, I understand that Becky Chande will be speaking to Hammerstein later on and I will have an update on both the new Iron Champion Corey Cruelty.SAM HEWITT: Can't wait. Fans, we're going to take a quick break and come back with the debut of Sutton in Lion's Road as he takes on stalwart Kris Slade in singles action!
JAMES EDWARDS: C’mon Hammer! Eight more! Don't you fucking quit on me! Seven more!The voice is unmistakable. JAMES EDWARDS: Six more! Five mo…. PUSH! FIVE MORE!James Edwards - one of the most decorated wrestlers to set foot on the Lions Road. A man synonymous with intensity in the ring is just as intense in the gym as he trains his friend and tag team partner, Hammerstein. JAMES EDWARDS: Four more! Three…. PUSH THAT WEIGHT!Hammer strains. JAMES EDWARDS: Two more!Hammerstein looks gassed. JAMES EDWARDS: ONE MORE! PUSH!Hammerstein’s body shudders as he pushes the weight up to complete the final repetition. He sets the bar on the rack and pulls himself up to a sitting position on the bench. He grabs a bottle of water and goes to take a drink, but Edwards knocks the bottle out of his hand. HAMMERSTEIN: WHAT DA HELL, BRO?JAMES EDWARDS: Do you think Cutlass is gonna give you a water break? This ain't a title match! The only break he’s gonna give you is a goddamn broken jaw if you ain't careful. Now get up off that bench and get in the squat rack.
Hammerstein goes over to the squat rack, gets under the weight and starts the repetitions. Edwards is not impressed. JAMES EDWARDS: ASS TO THE GRASS, HAMMER! ASS TO THE GRASS!Hammerstein goes down further in the squat, until Edwards tells him to stand back up. JAMES EDWARDS: Now tighten your abs on the way back up.HAMMERSTEIN: Why….Hammerstein sees Edwards set himself just in time to tighten his abdominal muscles before ‘The Burning Heart’ lays in a hard kick. Hammerstein's eyes bulge from the impact. JAMES EDWARDS: DON’T STOP! KEEP GOING!With every rep, Edwards hits a sharp kick to Hammerstein's gut. The set finally done, the fan favorite re-racks the weight and hangs on the bar, his breath coming in ragged and heaving bursts. Edwards shakes his head. JAMES EDWARDS: C’mon, boy, we ain't done. We still gotta spar.

"Outlaw in Me" by the Lacs is playing as we return from commercial. Chad Gomez holds his ears and looks to be in excruciating pain, Sutton walks out with his girlfriend Lilly bringing up the rear. They stop, Lilly points out her Redneck Remedy t-shirt - Billy's brand of moonshine.
JAKE AARONS: This opening bout is to be fought over a ten minute time limit! Introducing first from Chicago, Illinois! He weighs in at two hundred and thirty five pounds! KRIS SLADE! His opponent from Hickory, North Carolina! He weighs in at two hundred fifty five pounds! SUTTON!They exchange a kiss and walk on down to the ring. JAKE AARONS: Your referee for this bout is Buster Powell!Sutton climbs the stairs and gets in the ring, Kris Slade gets the jump on him! SAM HEWITT: Kris Slade wasting no time at all!CHAD GOMEZ: I'm just happy the song ended.Slade's attack is quickly countered and Sutton chucks him through the ropes and out to the floor, Powell tells Sutton to stay inside but the Hillbilly heads on out. He grabs Slade and body slams him on the floor! Slade holds his back in pain as Sutton rolls back inside. The Deathmatch King gets up by the count of seven, but Sutton interrupts the count by pushing Powell aside and rushing to the ropes, he bounces off... SUICIDE DIVE TO THE OUTSIDE! The crowd erupts at the sight of a 6'4" / 255lbs doing the dive with such ease. Sutton gets up and chucks Slade back inside the ring. Slade tries to stagger to his feet, but can barely do so... Sutton cracks him with a bionic elbow and follows it up... SUTTON STUNNER! Lilly leaps in the air as he hits it, then covers Slade! 1... ... 2... ... 3! Lilly slides in the ring and grabs her man, embracing him with a big hug before Sutton raises his arms in victory.
The curious camera crew of Lion’s Road spies Eli Buchanan with his monstrous client, the Kraken. The crews do not venture too close. Eli Buchanan speaks intently to his enormous associate, no doubt about his match later in the evening, while the Kraken stares ahead with a blank stare on his face and giving the audience no clue as to what is on his mind. The camera turns, Julian Cutlass walks up and motions for the camera to follow. He’s already dressed and ready to go - black trunks with his gloves on, kick pads strapped over his shins, and that belt of gold wrapped around his waist. Buchanan turns, notices Cutlass and the media attention and sighs... ELI BUCHANAN: You have something you’d like to say?JULIAN CUTLASS: To you? No. But to him?Cutlass smirks. Not a lot of men can make Julian Cutlass look small, but the Kraken is one of them. The monster turns his head, suddenly aware of the King of Lions’ presence. Even his eyes become infatuated with gold. JULIAN CUTLASS: I’m just really excited about our match tonight. I hope you’ve been training hard.The Kraken stares at him blankly. ELI BUCHANAN: You fool! My French Canadian colossus is out for blood after what happened last week. Do you really think that…Cutlass ignores Eli as he prattles on and outstretches a fist toward the Kraken. The big man cocks his head to the side in an almost alien-fashion for just a moment before he reaches out with one of his mighty paws and accepts the gesture, returning Cutlass’ fist bump with a meatier version of his own. Satisfied, the King of Lions turns around and leaves the two members of the Red Army standing there as they watch him leave. A few moments later, Eli turns and looks up to the Kraken. The monster stares forward but this time he wears a strange grin, a violent grin. The challenge has been accepted and the stage has been set for what is sure to be an intense showdown.

The camera flashes backstage and the fans are greeted to the site of Alexander Irvine trading blows and working wrestling drills with Jimmy Winner. As Irvine and Jimmy stop their training, the form of Ben Chrenshaw comes full screen. Irvine slowly moves forward, Chrenshaw does the same. The Crippler and The Unnatural standing almost eye to eye, their mass of flesh almost weighing in at the same amount... just in different measuring systems. Irvine is the first to break silence. ALEXANDER IRVINE: You know Chrenshaw. I've been hearing a lot of locker room chatter that you and I are a lot alike.His face breaks into a smirk, his bearded mandible contouring to show his oozing confidence, his appearance almost takes on the appearance of some demonic muppet from the sheer amount of wild, yet managed facial hair. BEN CHRENSHAW: I believe 'Magnificent' Matt Pulver has made that case more than once.Chrenshaw scoffs slight, and almost snarl like expression forms over his face. The scruff upon his face looking almost as dangerous as he. Awaiting the opportunity to be racked across someone's flesh as he maneuvers across them for a better submission advantage, hoping to tear across bare flesh like satanic sandpaper. ALEXANDER IRVINE: I think that even though Pulver survived our Cage Match with a win. I think he walked away with more than a few bumps and bruises. I think he's walked away with early stage dementia. Because honestly I don't see it, your like some kind of black and white silent movie villain. Always looking to tie poor old mares to train tracks. I however...BEN CHRENSHAW: You however are like some old World War Two grandfather spitting out drivel about how much better things were when you had to walk up hill both ways to buy a coke and a moonpie for a nickel. Yeah... we get it.Both men smirk, over a decade and a half of in ring brutality divide the two men, yet a commonality can be seen in both men. They both love creating conflict as much as they enjoy watching others struggle. Chrenshaw turns to walk out of the locker room, till his shoulder is grasped tightly in the paws of The Wolf. His head cocks back slightly. ALEXANDER IRVINE: Good luck in the Laurentide Cup Benny Boy. I hope it was worth selling you soul to some washed up soulless Ginger with a fetish for talentless hacks and codependent beasts.BEN CHRENSHAW: Would have been to have seen you included, might have had a nice challenge for once. Afterwards I might haven been able to help get you VA disability raised.Both men still smirked as Chrenshaw walked off. Irvine stood motionless as he watched The Crippler leave. Jimmy Winner however, stood close by with mouth and eyes wide open, till he came out of shock. JIMMY WINNER: Jimmy doesn't know what he just saw. Jimmy needs a moment.With a quickness Irvine grabs Winner by the back of the neck and hips tosses him to the makeshift mat in their locker room. Irvine follows through the throw to land on top of the youngest member of BLACK Lion's Road. The thud of their crash upon the mat causes Irvine to laugh as an intense grimace dances on Winner's face. ALEXANDER IRVINE: Jimmy needs to quit talking like a freak. If Jimmy doesn't he'll make Alex very angry.With a smirk across his face Irvine cranks on the neck of poor Jimmy, causing Jimmy to have to talk through the pain. JIMMY WINNER: Jimmy doesn't like you when you get angry.
Or maybe not. Madalyn Macie is rushing up a hallway, telling a camera man to keep up... they turn a corner and El Hijo de Polo chucks Paisley into a wall! Popcorn Pollo cheers him on, Macie runs up and clubs Hijo from behind... drawing the attention of Popcorn Pollo... who leaps onto her back and begins biting her! Macie screams and Paisley slowly comes to... pulls herself up and sees what's going on. She looks around, grabs a bottle of water and smacks Popcorn over the head with it! Popcorn Pollo drops off of Macie and turns his attention to Paisley - who push kicks him into a catering table! Hijo decks Macie from behind and throws her into a door - kitchen workers scatter as she falls inside. Hijo walks in behind her but Paisley attacks him. He grabs her and rings her head off the fridge! Macie scurries to her feet and grabs a pot and smacks Hijo over the head with it! The chicken man stumbles and falls to a knee, Paisley grabs a pan and decks him across the back. The two take turns drilling him with their respective item until the door is pushed open... PAISLEY WAYLAYS POPCORN WITH THE PAN! The poor little guy goes flying backwards through the door and Hijo tries to use this chance to slither away, but Macie grabs him - he pushes her into the stove and gets to his feet but Macie picks up a pot off the stove and throws it at Hijo - he clutches his eyes and falls to the ground. Paisley grabs him... AND STICKS HIS HEAD IN THE DEEP FRYER! Pollo screams! Security busts in and Macie and Paisley take off.

After a half hour of sparring, Edwards and Hammerstein sit on the mat. Edwards looks none the worse for wear while Hammerstein looks like he's been through hell, came back and went back to retrieve his lost luggage. A line of blood runs from the corner of his left eye down his cheek and his right eye sports a shiner. The former Iron Champion takes a drink from a bottle of Gatorade and smiles as he looks at the wound on the side of his friend's face. JAMES EDWARDS: Tough workout, huh?HAMMERSTEIN: Uh, ya think, bro? What gives?Edwards’ expression changes to dead seriousness. JAMES EDWARDS: Do you think I enjoyed beating the hell outta you for the past two hours?HAMMERSTEIN: Well, I was kinda thinkin… JAMES EDWARDS: Look, I had no mercy on you cause Cutlass won't have any mercy on you. Remember the last time you were in the ring with him? You guys fist bumped after you eliminated Chrenshaw, right? Well, this time he's gonna bump his fist into your mouth...as hard as he can….over and over. He’s gonna try to dismantle you, Jacob. One on one, this guy's gonna try to make short work of you, which means he's gonna hit you with as much as he can as fast as he can. If you can weather the storm, you have a chance to beat him.
Hammerstein shakes his head. HAMMERSTEIN: No offense, bro, but you couldn't even beat him. How da hell am I gonna beat him?Edwards slams his hand on the mat. JAMES EDWARDS: Damn it, Hammer. If you're going to think like that...Edwards seethes. JAMES EDWARDS: You shouldn't even show up next week! Hammerstein puts his hands up defensively. HAMMERSTEIN: Dude, you're so much better than me. How am I gonna be able to… JAMES EDWARDS: Look, don't worry about being better than me. You've improved so much just in the time I've known you. Heart was never an issue... but your skills and abilities have caught up with that heart. You, my friend, have as much a chance to beat Cutlass as anyone... ANYONE... in Lion's Road. Believe in yourself because YOUR people believe in you.Edwards looks away. JAMES EDWARDS: And so do I.
Edwards extends his hand to Hammerstein. The affable wrestler shakes it, his eyes a little misty. HAMMERSTEIN: Lions Road ain't gonna be da same witout ya, brother. You my best friend, ya know dat?Edwards pulls his friend in for a hug. JAMES EDWARDS: I know, brother.Edwards steps back, rubbing his eyes, and clears his throat. JAMES EDWARDS: Now c’mon. Back to sparring. I bet Cutlass ain't hugging Irvine right now and I can guarantee you he won't be hugging you next week…. not after you kick his ass.
Grace Kazoulis is standing with Mandeville Nelson, rocking a black THE CORPSE t-shirt. MANDEVILLE NELSON: What's this?GRACE KAZOULIS: Oh, you mean this? This is official merchandise... I wear this shirt not out of disrespect, but as a tribute to the man. Rob Draven deserve as much, I never hold a grudge against someone who can beat me fair and square and he did. I make my enemies elsewhere. MANDEVILLE NELSON: Which brings us to the Red Army...GRACE KAZOULIS: The Red Army and anyone dumb enough to ally themselves with them. Eli Buchanan, the briefcase salesman... I told him that Kraken was my first statement. I'm going to roll each and every head until I get to the head cheese. MANDEVILLE NELSON: And then?GRACE KAZOULIS: Maybe he'll have the balls to strap on the boots again. Maybe a lil' briefcase match.MANDEVILLE NELSON: ...which is? GRACE KAZOULIS: One step at a time... I gotta get through two more goons first. One of them just so happens to be my next match. MANDEVILLE NELSON: Against AJ Knight, Laurentide Cup.GRACE KAZOULIS: Yes, that's right. We're not going to exchange pleasantries. I give AJ some credit for being critical about Kraken and all that but the fact is - he has thrown in his lot with the Army and so he is on my shit list. Well, it's not so much AJ himself... he used to be a regular guy but he started making bad choices and got in with the wrong crowd. He should know better. He's a knight, I'll bring the war... we'll see if that shining armor is tough enough. MANDEVILLE NELSON: Do you think Kraken has a bone to pick with you?Grace shrugs. GRACE KAZOULIS: I knew the risk from the beginning. The whole point of this exercise is to show these punks that the rest of LR is not afraid of them. They don´t own this place and the don´t make the rules around here. We are lions not sheep and I´m not gonna hide from a troupe of donkeys. Speaking of Donkeys, I hope Eli got a leer from me by now. I sent him the whole analysis of what was in my pee pot lately. Now he can go and spell pharmaceutical twenty times. Pharmaceutical my ass. He´ll have to come up with better ideas if he wants to stop me from ripping his circus apart one wrestler at a time.MANDEVILLE NELSON: Fans, Sheracles is on the warpath! GRACE KAZOULIS: You can bet on that, brother.

JAKE AARONS: This bout is to be fought over a ten minute time limit! Introducing first from London, England! She weighs in at one hundred and twenty eight pounds... NOELLE CHARPENTIER!Polite applause. JAKE AARONS: Her opponent from Gatineau, Quebec! She weighs in at one hundred and thirty five pounds... RYAN LECAVALIER!Good reaction for the woman who's quickly making a name for herself in LR. JAKE AARONS: Your referee for this bout is Brian Shelzi! The bell sounds and both women circle around before locking up, LeCavalier backs Charpentier into the corner. A clean break ensues, but Ryan and Noelle get face to face before LeCavalier is pushed back by Shelzi. They lock-up again, Charpentier takes LeCavalier down to the mat with an arm drag and holds onto the arm, LeCavalier fights back to her feet but Charpentier wrenches it on tighter... the Quebec native tries to grab the ropes, but is pulled away. LeCavalier stands straight up, puts her foot behind Noelle's... OUR LOVE TO ADMIRE! The inverted leg sweep brings both women back down to the mat. LeCavalier tries for a front chancery, but Charpentier rolls through... applies a grounded hammer--nope, LeCavalier spins out and gets to her feet. She kicks Charpentier in the midsection, a knee to the head follows... then a kick to the stomach... then a sweep - NO! Charpentier avoids being Dissolve'd and hops over the sweep attempt. She grabs LeCavalier and tries to whip her into the ropes, but it gets reversed... the Midnight Sun blasts the Mayor of Kick City with a reverse elbow smash! Noelle stumbles down to a knee.... LeCavalier rushes in... leaps over... SOMERSAULT NECKBREAKER! 1... ... 2... ... 3! SAM HEWITT: Wow! The Prurient Eclipse seals the deal once again! CHAD GOMEZ: Don't blink! Sheesh! This was an intense back and forth bout but I wasn't expecting it to be over that quickly! SAM HEWITT: LeCavalier saw a great opening and took full advantage and continues her winning ways here on Mane Event!LeCavalier rolls out of the ring, shaking her head.
MANDEVILLE NELSON: As you might've seen last week here on Mane Event, Corey Cruelty was able to defeat James Edwards and become the third Iron Champion. The victory was not without its controversy as it was an unseen low blow that led to Cruelty being able to hit the Oblivion on Edwards. However, also noteworthy was this...
Edwards ducks behind him... throws his arm over... grabs the leg... FOXFI-NO! Cruelty lands on his feet, hoofs Edwards in the gut... Edwards doubles over but lifts up and slaps the shit out of Cruelty! The former Heritage Champion staggers over, falling to his knees... Edwards goes to grab him... Cruelty grabs Price to obtain some footing and forces him out of position! With the referee turned away... CRUELTY HOOFS HIM IN THE GROIN! Edwards doubles over... OBLIVION PILEDRIVER! Cruelty grabs his face in pain as he drops on top of Edwards.
MANDEVILLE NELSON: That slap to the face to Cruelty from Edwards is why the new Iron Champion is not here this week. We had some interview time planned with him, but his vertigo has him out indefinitely. He will be meeting with doctors this coming Tuesday... and we hope to have him on the program next week!

Becky Chande is backstage. BECKY CHANDE: I'm here with Hammerstein! Ham, last week you went through a brutal match with Kraken that ended in a stalemate after you body slammed him and neither one of you were able to get back up and answer the ten count. Next week is no easier... as you face the King of the Lions Julian Cutlass.HAMMERSTEIN: Becky, I'ma tell ya, I ain't been so beat up in a long time but I'm still standin and I'm still movin forward. Eli’s biggest gun couldn't take me out and I ain't gonna take a step back next week against Ol’ King Julian. I'ma stake my claim to da Laurentide Cup, den da KoL title. BECKY CHANDE: Good luck!HAMMERSTEIN: Tanks, Becky, I appreciate it. PRODUCER: OK and cut...However, something's wrong. The camera is still rolling... and while Becky and Hammer exchange some small talk about Becky's dog, AJ Knight walks in looking a bit apprehensive but still manages to bug Becky by putting his arm around her. AJ KNIGHT: You better be ready, Hamster! Right, Beckles? But seriously, I don't have much time... I got a meeting at the Legion of Doom in a few.He turns to Becky. AJ KNIGHT: That's our locker room in case you didn't know. BECKY CHANDE: Oh, I know. Every time I interview you guys you always shout "Meanwhile at the Legion of Doom" before the camera starts rolling.Knight nods and chuckles, while she removes his arm from around her neck. AJ KNIGHT: Anyway, I just wanted to tell you what happened last week was nothing personal - I was just following orders. I also wanted to wish you luck against Julian Cutlass next week. I hope you knock that pompous douchebag down a few pegs!AJ's demeanor as we've seen repeatedly in the last few weeks changes completely. AJ KNIGHT: I... also have some advice for you. Because you're a good man and I'd hate to see something terrible to happen to you like...AJ is having a hard time looking Hammerstein in the eyes AJ KNIGHT: Like what happened to Kenshin. Steer clear of the Red Army as best you can. Look Eli already hates you, all he's doing now is looking for an excuse. So please Jacob, I'm begging you. For your sake, and for Holly's sake don't give him one.Before Hammerstein can respond AJ notices something and bursts out shouting. AJ KNIGHT: Why is that light still on!? Is that Camera still rolling?! Are we live right now?! Seriously!? Turn that thing off!! What kind of bush league bullcrap is this?! First I get fired for something I didn't do, and now these geniuses can't figure out how to tell when a camera is still running!AJ calms down a bit and turns to Hammerstein. AJ KNIGHT: Let's just hope he isn't watching. Remember! Don't give him a reason...
Knight walks off, leaving Hammerstein looking very confused about all of this. He looks at Becky, who offers nothing but a shrug.

JAKE AARONS: This Laurentide Cup Block B bout is to be fought over a ten minute time limit with one pinfall, one submission or a knockout to decide the winner! Introducing first from Leksand, Sweden! He weighs in at one hundred and seventy five pounds... MATT PULVER!Pulver steps out of his corner and raises his arms. JAKE AARONS: His opponent from Raleigh, North Carolina! He weighs in at two hundred and twenty four pounds... JUSTIN SEVILLE!Seville lets out a smirk as the fans boo at the mere mention of his name. JAKE AARONS: Your referee for this bout is Robbie Morris!Morris gives a wave, Pulver and Seville step forward and exchange a handshake which gets some applause from the St. Catharines crowd. The bell sounds and we begin with a lock-up, Justin Seville gains the advantage with a top wrist lock and muscles Pulver down into a bridge. Seville holds it until Pulver fires up and turns the top wrist lock around on him, sending Seville down to the mat. "Serious" rolls out of the ring and Pulver stays inside the ring at the request of referee Robbie Morris. Seville takes a full lap around the ring before rolling inside, Pulver gives him his space and lets him return to his feet before they lock-up again. This time, Pulver takes the advantage through some fancy positioning and pulls the arm, wringing it out. He wrenches it tightly, forcing Seville down to the mat with a front flip, but Seville gets an ankle pick... and tries to follow up the take down with an elbow to the knee but Pulver rears back his free leg and blasts Seville in the face! Seville goes flying back into the ropes, Pulver rolls up to his feet and the two have a good ol' fashioned stare down that ends with a respectful nod. They initiate a lock-up a third time, Pulver pulls a side headlock but Seville tries to use his size advantage to push Pulver toward the ropes but Matt Wrestling puts on the brakes and clamps down! Seville wraps his arms around Pulver's waist and hoists him up... but quickly releases it and having outsmarted Pulver, pushes the young lion into the ropes and shoots him out. Pulver rebounds off the ropes and eats mat courtesy of a drop toe hold. Seville tries to hop over into a grounded side headlock, but Pulver grabs Seville's arm and slips out, applying a grounded hammerlock! The hold is slapped on way too close to the ropes however and Seville grabs them easily. SAM HEWITT: Some excellent back and forth in the early moments on the match. We expected a technically sound bout but I have to wonder just how long until Justin Seville tries a dishonourable tactic? CHAD GOMEZ: Sam, I don't understand you sometimes. Justin Seville is a great athlete, a great fighter...SAM HEWITT: I agree completely. CHAD GOMEZ: So then why would you say such a thing? Because he knee lifted Jan van der Roost as he tried to get back into the ring? The old fart shouldn't have been outside the ring trying to snag someone's phone to watch Matlock! Seville made him pay for his mistake!SAM HEWITT: That's not quite what happened, but anyway... Both return to a vertical base and lock-up, Seville backs Pulver into the corner and referee Robbie Morris begins the five count. He gets to four and Seville begins to back away, but quickly drives his shoulder into Pulver's midsection. With Pulver feeling the effects, Seville stands him back up straight and waffles him with a right hook! Seville grabs Pulver and looks as though he intends to Irish whip him across the ring, but Pulver sends him instead! Seville stops short of going sternum first into the 'buckles and hears Pulver charging behind him... so he drops, Pulver collides with the turnbuckles! Seville smacks him in the back with an axe handle smash, knocking him down to his knees - he pulls Pulver around to face him, hooks both arms and executes a crisp double arm suplex. Seville gets up to follow up on the attack, but stops and smirks at a fan yelling at him in the crowd. Pulver gets to his feet, Seville turns and gets booted in the gut! Pulver applies a front waist hold and looks for the Northern Lights suplex but Seville drives his hands into Pulver's lower back, dropping the tag team champion to his knees. Seville grabs him, yanking him to his feet and Irish whips him into the corner. Pulver hits hard, staggers out holding his back and drops to his knees in pain. With Pulver on all fours, Seville stalks his prey... slowly stepping over him and then driving his weight down on Pulver's lower back, sending him down flat on the mat... he yanks the arms over his knees and clamps both hands around Pulver's chin! CHAD GOMEZ: He's getting humbled, Sam!SAM HEWITT: Justin Seville has got the Camel Clutch applied in the best place you can lock it in - right smack dab in the middle of the ring! Morris gets a "NO!" each time he asks Pulver if he'd like to submit. After a solid minute in the hold, Pulver is able to free up both of his arms and begins the long ascent back to his feet, Seville keeps the chinlock locked on... Pulver is about to elbow him in the gut, but Seville yanks him down to the mat by the hair! Seville denies any wrongdoing when Morris gets in his face, Pulver kips up and Seville tries to hip toss him! Pulver blocks.... BACKSLIDE! 1... ... 2... ... 3-NO! Seville immediately gets up and more or less falls on Pulver, preventing him from getting back up to his feet. Seville clubs away with some shot forearm smashes, then stands up and drops a knee into his lower back. Pulver rolls away in a world of hurt, but "Serious" Seville yanks him up to his feet... he peppers him with some outside kicks to the thighs, forcing Pulver to retreat into the corner. Seville lariats him! He backs up... and does it again! With Pulver ready to fall out of the corner, Seville holds him up and then drives his shoulder into his midsection again... then does it a second time... nearly driving Pulver's back into the ring post! He pulls Pulver out, backs him into the ropes and shoots him across... Pulver takes advantage of Seville foolishly ducking in anticipation and clamps on a front chancery with an arm hooked... HALF HATCH SUPLEX! Pulver rolls through with the suplex and clamps on a cross armbreaker! SAM HEWITT: Some clever defense from Justin Seville - once more the submission hold is too close to the ropes to really do any significant damage. Pulver gets up... Seville pops up from the kneeling position looking for a right hook, but Pulver ducks... ROUNDHOUSE KICK! Seville teeters to the mat and Pulver covers! 1... ... 2... ... FOOT ON THE ROPE! Pulver sees it and gets up, he grabs onto the top rope and looks to the fans for their reaction... they cheer and he leaps up... then double stomps the leg! Seville yelps and rolls out to the floor, grasping the leg and limping around the ringside area. Pulver rolls out, knowing time is ticking away. Seville keeps his distance, but Pulver starts chasing him down... Seville slides inside, hits the adjacent set of ropes and goes for a knee lift as Pulver is climbing inside, but Pulver pulls himself back... Seville lands on his back on the mat... Pulver slingshots himself over the top rope... DOUBLE STOMP! He rolls forward, carried by his momentum and stands up... he grabs Seville's arms and crosses them over... steps through... rolls forward... PULVERIZER! The straight jacket triangle choke is applied! Seville yanks himself free just a bit... creating enough space to be comfortable in the hold, but Pulver adjusts it and locks it in. Seville frantically tries to find the ropes with his legs... almost the-THE BELL SOUNDS! Pulver lets go and raises his arms, but Morris yanks them down. He points to Jake Aarons. JAKE AARONS: The ten minute time limit for this bout has expired! Therefore, this match is a draw and both men earn a single point! Pulver is obviously dejected, going from thinking he won to having a time limit draw announced. Seville rolls out of the ring and carries onto the back while Pulver drops down and rolls out, greeting a bunch of fans in MAT MITES t-shirts as we head to break.

Becky Chande is standing by as we return from break. BECKY CHANDE: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to try to get comments from Eli Buchanan before Kraken's match with the King of Lions Champion, Julian Cutlass. Excuse me, Eli...Eli enters with Kraken and toe, speaking quietly together in French. BECKY CHANDE: I was hoping to ask you...ELI BUCHANAN: Becky, normally I'm more than happy to allow you to do the one thing in this world that you are good at - being a glorified microphone stand, but what I've got to say is far too important to waste on you. Kraken and I are going out to the ring and I'm going to tell the whole world what's on my mind. He waves to Kraken. ELI BUCHANAN: Allons-y!"War Machine" by Kiss hits out in the arena and the fans start booing as Eli and Kraken make their way down to the ring. Eli demands a microphone as he enters the ring and begins speaking. ELI BUCHANAN: Jacob... Hammerstein... I hate you! No, hate isn't the right word here, I loath you. There is nothing in this world that would make me more happy than to see you utterly destroyed and to snuff you out with the sole of my foot. But it's not that easy, is it? You've got "friends" that are just as stupid as you are. For the life of me I can't even fathom why anyone would even want to help you at all. Hell, my own sister is planning on marrying you.The crowd cheers. ELI BUCHANAN: Oh you like that, do you? Well I can't stand it, it makes me want to puke even thinking about it. So for the sake of saving my sister from herself, and to save all of you from whatever spell that talent-less goof has placed over you all, I've assembled an army with the goal of destroying Hammerstein once and for all. When Leviathian proved useless, we cut him out and brought in the much more talented, A.J. Knight. Along with the sheer brute power of Kraken here, and the our incredible captain, Ben Chrenshaw, we've assembled a task force second to none.The crowd jeers as Eli continues. ELI BUCHANAN: But antagonizing you, fat boy, just isn't enough for me anymore, I want you gone from Lion's Road, Hammerstein. The problem is that every single chance we have of squashing you like the bug you are... your friends show up to save your sorry ass. I'm sick of it, Jacob, so I want you to gather up four of your dumbest friends, and they would have to be pretty dumb to agree to this. You see, it's real simple, where there's an army, there's a war. WAR GAMES! Let's lock us all up in a steel cage so there's no more surprise and you don't have anymore excuses. Jacob, inside that cage, no one's going to be able to save you and your friends. We are going to systematically destroy you and anyone else stupid enough to climb in the ring with you. The question is, do you and your little friends have the stones to accept my challenge?The fans begin chanting YES! YES! YES! Eli sneers at them for a moment before concluding. ELI BUCHANAN: The choice is yours, Jacob.

JAKE AARONS: This Laurentide Cup Block B bout is to be fought over a ten minute time limit with one pinfall, one submission or a knockout to decide the winner! Introducing first from Ungava Bay, Quebec! He weighs in at four hundred and fifty pounds... THIS IS KRAKEN!The fans boo as Kraken flexes, Eli Buchanan claps for his client. JAKE AARONS: His opponent from Vancouver, British Columbia! He weighs in at two hundred and nineteen pounds... JULIAN CUTLASS!Cutlass throws a few punches. JAKE AARONS: Your referee for this bout is Xavier Price. Cutlass extends his arm, seeing if the Kraken will fist bump him once again but Kraken slaps him across the face! Cutlass goes down and rolls out of the ring, shaking the cobwebs out. He climbs back inside and beckons Kraken, the two lock-up and Kraken immediately slams the King of the Lions Champion and raises his arms triumphantly. Kraken pulls him off the mat and chucks him into the corner where he begins working the body with punches, but then transitions into straight punches to the face! Price tells Cutlass he needs to intelligently defend himself and to the champion's credit, he's trying! He peppers Kraken with some shots of his own, puts his knee up to try and push Kraken away but it's Price who intervenes and warns Kraken about the count! Kraken backs away and the King of the Lions pulls himself out of the corner and Kraken grabs him, Cutlass fires away four consecutive shotei palm strikes which barely stun the big man. Kraken rears back and cracks Cutlass with a punch that drops the champion to his knees! Kraken raises his leg and boots Cutlass in the face sending the champion reeling out onto the arena floor. Kraken follows him out, Eli Buchanan shouting at Cutlass all the while - Kraken pulls the champion up... and slams him down on the apron! Kraken climbs back inside... Cutlass rolls off the apron in pain, grimacing as he gets his wits about him on the outside. Cutlass grabs the middle rope and pulls himself back onto the apron, but Kraken cracks him with a lariat and knocks him to the floor! Price produces a yellow card! JAKE AARONS: Referee Xavier Price has issued a yellow card to Kraken for preventing his opponent from getting back into the ring - his first public warning!Buchanan of course disputes this and tells Price he wants to challenge the call, which gets ignored. Cutlass gets up to his feet but stumbles back down as Kraken poses inside the ring... Cutlass gets up on the apron again and Kraken charges forth, looking for a second lariat but Cutlass ducks it! He clamps on a rear naked choke with Kraken still in the ring! Buchanan is up in arms about the legality of the hold, telling Price to break it up! He doesn't need to though as Kraken demonstrates his ungodly power by doubling over and bringing Cutlass from the apron into the ring with a thud! The King of the Lions scrambles and staggers to his feet as Kraken stalks him down, but still sells the effects of the choke. Cutlass ducks a huge right arm coming at him and goes behind, rear waist hold... Kraken does a go behind and applies one of his own on the Blazin' King. The King of the Lions drops to his knees, trying to pry Kraken's massive hands apart but the French Canadian Colossus lets out a roar and German suplexes the champion onto his head! CHAD GOMEZ: Holy shit!SAM HEWITT: Deadlift German suplex from Kraken on the King of the Lions Champion! WOW!Julian Cutlass looks like he could be out so referee Xavier Price begins his ten count, Kraken paces back and forth before Cutlass shows a sign of life. The big man reaches down and pulls Cutlass to his feet, holds him by the chin... and punches him in the mush! Cutlass' legs go wobbly and he falls against the ropes... Kraken backs up and charges Cutlass, who drops at the last possible second causing the big man to soar over the top rope and to the floor! The crowd erupts in a HOLY SHIT chant as Kraken hits hard on the ground below! Price begins the ten count and gets to six when Cutlass gets up and requests he stop, the cameras pick up Cutlass telling Price he doesn't want to win by ring knockout and asks him to check on him and see if he's okay. Price nods and heads out, Kraken is miraculously back up to his knees but not moving well. Kraken shoves Price out of the way and grabs the ropes, pulling himself up onto the apron and under the bottom rope. Cutlass leans back against the ropes with a grin on his face, putting his fists up to fight. Kraken staggers to his feet and lunges at Cutlass. SAM HEWITT: It's on now!
Cutlass dodges the attack, but Kraken moves quickly and strikes Cutlass with a big open right hand knocking the champion across the ring. Cutlass gets up... tries for an enzuigiri, but Kraken swats his leg out of the air! Cutlass falls to the mat and Kraken splashes him! Kraken climbs to his feet and is... heading up top? Cutlass rolls onto his side and sees what Kraken is attempting and hurriedly tries to pull himself together. Kraken isn't having much luck climbing considering his earlier tumble and Cutlass takes full advantage of this... climbing up onto the second rope behind Kraken, sticking his head underneath Kraken's arm... REAR WAIST HOLD... CHAD GOMEZ: What?! NO!? HE'S GONNA BREAK THE R--AVALANCHE STYLE BACKDROP SUPLEX! THE RING SHAKES WITH THE MIGHTY THUD! Cutlass rolls on top... 1... ... 2... ... 3! Buchanan slaps the mat in frustration and climbs in to check on Kraken, Cutlass rolls out to the floor and falls to the ground. Price exits the ring, hands him his belt and raises his arm in victory. Buchanan glares at Cutlass but his ire is drawn out even more by the appearance of Hammerstein. The Hammer fist bumps Cutlass on his way out and makes sure Eli is watching... then nods. Buchanan smirks then tells the camera, "he's going to die!".

JAKE AARONS: This Heritage Championship bout is... a ladder match!
Huge pop.
JAKE AARONS: No pinfalls, no submissions, no knockouts - the match cannot end until someone climbs the ladder and retrieves the belt!
"In the Year of the Wolf" by Motorhead hits the Pa system as the lion’s mouth erupts with fire and through the smoke comes Alexander Irvine with his head cast down. Taking in a moment, Irvine lifts his head and slowly releases the smoke from his mouth. As he starts his walk to the ring he removes his BLACK Lion's Road t-shirt and throws it into the crowd.
JAKE AARONS: Introducing the challenger... from Keokuk, Iowa! He weighs in at two hundred and fifteen pounds... ALEXANDER IRVINE!
Upon reaching the ring he enters under the top rope and begins walking towards his corner, throwing a few kick/punch combinations before bouncing back and forth on the balls of his feet shaking his arms out.
JAKE AARONS: His opponent from Toronto, Ontario!
Even bigger pop than the ladder match announcement.
JAKE AARONS: She weighs in at one hundred and twenty nine pounds! She is the current, reigning and defending Heritage Champion... LA CUCARACHA!
"Cuka Rocka" hits and La Cucaracha simply walks out, Heritage Championship around her waist. She looks long and hard at the ring and Alexander Irvine... not nervously, but intently. She walks down the aisle, unclasping her title belt as she hops onto the apron... she climbs inside and hands the belt to Cordell Garner before taking her corner.
JAKE AARONS: Your referee for this bout is Cordell Garner!
Cordell Garner secures the belt on the rung and orders it up, Alexander Irvine doesn't take his eyes off of La Cucaracha, who watches the belt go up and then matches his gaze. Irvine tells her to kiss the belt goodbye as Garner calls for the bell. Irvine charges at her, she tries to side step but he grabs her in a plum clinch and chucks her into the corner and begins lighting her up with body shots. He grabs her in a front waist hold and backs up... but she headbutts him! He staggers back, she swings... he ducks... rear waist hold... Irvine suplexes her... she lands on her feet! He turns around... THUMB TO THE EYE! With Irvine blinded and staggering, Cucaracha grabs him... JAWBREAKER! Irvine falls back into the ropes and Cucaracha rubs her head, telling him he's got a hard chin. She grabs him and whips him across the ring... SLING BLADE! Irvine goes down, but quickly gets back to his feet... Cucaracha charges in and decks Irvine with a beautiful high angle dropkick! He falls down to the mat and Cucaracha climbs onto the second rope, but Irvine sees this and quickly gets to his feet... Cucaracha leaps off and drills her challenger with a flying forearm! He falls to the mat and Cucaracha kips up, then looks into the aisle where the ladder stands... the fans roar for her to get it so she heads toward it. She gets one leg through the ropes, but Irvine chop blocks the other! She falls back inside the ring and tries to crawl away, but Irvine grabs her by the hair, yanks her to her feet... then slams her down onto the mat!
SAM HEWITT: More of what we saw two weeks ago in their Falls Count Anywhere bout. There isn't any mad dash for the ladder, they're just duking it out!
CHAD GOMEZ: There's a lot of pride on the line.
SAM HEWITT: You're absolutely right about that - Alexander Irvine wants to redefine what the Heritage title represents while La Cucaracha wants to prove her reign has been a successful one.
CHAD GOMEZ: Okay, I'm not the biggest La Cucaracha fan - shocking, I'm sure but if anyone thinks this reign of hers has been a failure to this point... get bent. She has battled Alexander Irvine in two very gruelling matches and while she couldn't beat him... he couldn't beat her either. Now since neither one was able to beat the other, that whole equation has been eliminated entirely - all you gotta do is climb the ladder and retrieve the title.
Irvine stomps on Cucaracha's back a couple of times before pulling her up... he goes to post her but she drops down and slides out of the ring. She climbs onto the apron and ascends the turnbuckles, Irvine greets her but gets walloped for his troubles. Cucaracha leaps off... RACHA RA-Irvine pulls her up... PUNCH! PUNCH! PUNCH! Cucaracha hammers away on Irvine's skull but the Unnatural rushes her forward and powerbombs her into the corner turnbuckle. The Wolf looks poised to follow up, but drops down and rolls out of the ring. He walks up the aisle and retrieves the ladder, folding it up and bringing it back down to ringside. He puts it on the apron and goes to slide it in, but it gets dropkicked into his face! Irvine goes tumbling back into the aisle and La Cucaracha gets up off the ground, she grabs Irvine as he staggers to his feet and whips him into the ring post. He bounces off and falls to the ground, Cucaracha turns back and grabs the ladder... she places it up against the middle rope and climbs inside. She tries to pull it through but Irvine crawls over to where it stands and grabs the other end, a tug of war ensues over the ladder... Cucaracha flies backwards into the ropes, dropping the ladder in the process after Irvine let go of it.
CHAD GOMEZ: Hah! She fell for the oldest trick in the book!
Irvine climbs inside the ring, grabs Cucaracha and slams her head off the top turnbuckle. He turns and tries to rush in, but she moves! She grabs the ladder and chucks it at him! Irvine tries to block a ladder being thrown at you as best as one can, but still takes a brunt of it. Cucaracha dropkicks it! Irvine goes down and the ladder goes the opposite way, the Heritage Champion catches it and sets it up in the middle of the ring. She begins the ascent to the top as quickly as she practised in her training promo, but Irvine lunges up and grabs her foot to yank her down. She falls to the mat and he pushes the ladder onto its side. Irvine stomps her a few times and looks at the ladder and then the title hanging above. He looks as though he's considering the climb, but opts to pull Cucaracha to her feet and throw her into the corner. He grabs the ladder and runs it into her stomach! Cucaracha doubles over in pain, gasping for air. Irvine drops the ladder and pulls Cucaracha out, scoops her up and puts her into the tree of woe. Irvine goes back to retrieve the ladder and looks poised to run it into her legs, but the tree of woe becomes a shrub of misfortune as Cucaracha is able to pull herself up just in the nick of time! Irvine smashes the ladder into the ring post!
SAM HEWITT: There's not going to much left of this ladder to climb!
CHAD GOMEZ: I feel like Alexander Irvine is ready and willing to use La Cucaracha as a step to climb up there. So I don't think he's worried about it too much.
The challenger leaves the ladder where it is and climbs on top of it to try and get the champion, Cucaracha drills him with a couple back elbows that knock him off balance... IRVINE GETS CROTCHED ON THE LADDER! The fans let out a gasp and laughter as Irvine falls forward on the ladder, clutching his groin. Cucaracha stands up, turns around and leaps off... dropping an elbow across Irvine's exposed lower back. Cucaracha lands hard on the ladder to do this and rolls off in pain, Irvine tries to do the same but his leg is still hung up over a rung! Cucaracha pulls the ladder down, not seeing this and Irvine yanks his leg out and falls back down to the mat. Cucaracha groggily pulls the ladder up and looks up, trying to position it properly but Irvine leaps to his feet and forearms it into her face! Both champion and challenger as well as the ladder hit the mat simultaneously! After a solid minute of downtime, something you wouldn't get in an ordinary match... Irvine crawls to his feet. He adjusts the ladder's placement on the mat and grabs Cucaracha in a front chancery... looking poised to DDT her onto the ladder... but she pulls free... AND KICKS IRVINE IN THE NUTS!
CHAD GOMEZ: What a cheap shot!
SAM HEWITT: Oh come on! A DDT is dangerous enough... doing it to someone a ladder is just uncalled for!
Irvine staggers away, holding the top rope to prevent himself from falling to the mat. Cucaracha grabs the ladder and yanks it up off the mat, she sets it up and is about to begin climbing when Irvine approaches from behind, clubbing her with a forearm to the back! He steps onto the bottom rung and positions his head between her legs and steps backwards... Cucaracha begins punching away... REVERSE RACHA RANA! She falls onto the apron, Irvine goes to the floor and the crowd erupts with RACHA! RACHA! RACHA! chants. Cucaracha leaps through the ropes, falls to the mat and begins crawling toward the ladder... she races up as quickly as her battered body will allow her to. She gets to the top and reaches... it's just out of her reach... she hops up AND SLIPS... she crashes down to the mat but after a few moments, swings her hips and charges back up... but Alexander Irvine has slung himself back inside the ring and begins slowly climbing the ladder. She tries to go faster, but Irvine starts turning it on also... she waits at the top and hammerfists his bald head. He slips down a rung, and she steps up... reaching for the prize... she grabs a hold of the belt's strap... goes to unclasp it... LIVER SHOT BY IRVINE! Cucaracha's eyes widen and she slips on the rung.... then slowly falls off the ladder. Irvine grabs the top of the ladder to hold on as she hits the mat. He looks up, reaches... climbs up another step... reaches and unclasps the belt as the bell sounds. Irvine climbs back down and exits the ring.
SAM HEWITT: The carnage is over... the first ever ladder match in Lion's Road is over... Alexander Irvine emerges victorious. Three hellacious battles between these two fi-nay, WARRIORS and it's finally over.
Irvine gets halfway up the aisle and turns back, watching Cucaracha - nearly in tears as she grabs her side while being attended to by medics. The newly crowned Heritage Champion heads back down to the ring, the medics scurry as Irvine climbs inside the ring. Irvine steps up to Cucaracha, who despite the pain she's in... stands toe to toe with Irvine. Irvine offers his hand... Cucaracha looks down at it... and looks to the crowd... she shakes it! Irvine lets her hand go, knocking her to the mat as he does.
CHAD GOMEZ: And you didn't think he had any sportsmanship!
The medics return to the ring as Irvine walks up the aisle to close the show.
