We open with Becky Chande, standing by with AJ Knight and... the Agents of Pain!? Oh my! BECKY CHANDE:
I am here with AJ Knight and...AJ KNIGHT:
Oh my gosh, Becky! Look at her butt! It is like so big-Becky gives him an unimpressed look. AJ KNIGHT:
You know Sir Mixalot? Anaconda? Baby got Back? It starts with "Oh my gosh Becky"...AJ quickly stops as he receives a death glare from Becky, AJ just stands awkwardly waiting for the interview to commence.
BECKY CHANDE:
I suppose the first question is why are these two here?She indicates the Agents of Pain as AJ scratches the back of his head.
AJ KNIGHT:
After last week's... fun with Hammerstein, Eli wanted someone to keep an eye on me to make sure I didn't engage in any more... Uh extracurricular activities. So that's why he gave me these two backup dancers. Come on guys, bust a move!AJ strikes a pose which leads the Agents of Pain to roll their eyes in annoyance. AJ KNIGHT:
It's funny because they want to hit me but Eli says they can't.Becky shoots AJ a dirty look as he says that
BECKY CHANDE:
I feel their pain, but considering Eli's general opinion of Hammerstein that seems like a fairly lax penalty... why do you think that is?AJ KNIGHT:
I think at this point, Eli's sunk too much time and too many resources into me to just let Kraken eat me.BECKY CHANDE:
Really? Kraken would eat you?AJ KNIGHT:
You've not been on the road with him, we typically stop at a buffet somewhere, and I swear to God Kraken probably eats around 220 pounds. By the time the rest of us have finished maybe 2 plates he's made a stack of plates about as tall as you are. It's not that far a stretch to believe he not only could but probably would if given the chance.BECKY CHANDE:
Moving on. Last week Eli made the challenge to Hammerstein for War Games. Given your exchange with the Hammer, where does that leave you? Are you in the bout? AJ KNIGHT:
Yes, I'm still on his team, what kind of question is that? Regardless of what happened last week I am still a member of the Red Army and am still trusted enough to engage in this match.BECKY CHANDE:
I think a lot of people have questions of your loyalty to the Red Army, trying to talk to Hammerstein in spite of his status as The Red Army's #1 foe and openly expressing regrets at some of the things you've done under Eli's orders. Many feel that you don't really fit The Red Army all that well, how do you respond to those claims?AJ is visibly uncomfortable with this line of questioning and is noticeably quiet for a while.
AJ KNIGHT:
Why? Because I'm the only one with a sense of humor? Come on you ought to hear these guys when the camera isn't rolling! Like his impression of Eli!He points to the Agent on his left who for the first time looks a bit flustered at the implication that he mocks Eli when the Camera isn't rolling. AJ KNIGHT:
Or his impression of Ben.The other Agent just scowls at AJ as he points at him... AJ KNIGHT:
See? That is so spot on!Becky Chande actually has to stifle a laugh at that last one, which AJ clearly notices and a large grin spreads across his face he and Becky's eyes meet as it dawns on her what just happened. AJ KNIGHT:
Everyone! This is a great day in the history of our sport! I actually got a laugh out of Becky Chande!Becky rolls her eyes before continuing with the interview. BECKY CHANDE:
Lastly, you were very complimentary of your opponent tonight Grace Kazoulis. Now she's another person who has been an enemy of the Red Army, so many found this to be surprising.
AJ KNIGHT:
Look just because we're technically enemies doesn't mean we can't be civil towards each other, and that we can't show respect. The fact is that she has fearlessly stood and faced down the Red Army head on. No guerrilla tactics just standing face to face with us, unlike some people.AJ looks at the camera smiling and waves. AJ KNIGHT:
Hey Draven how you doing buddy, I haven't forgotten about you, I'll see you next week asshole!AJ turns back to Becky.
AJ KNIGHT:
So naturally she has earned my utmost respect. Not to mention we've both been down the same road many times. And I know how much it sucks to have a big win pulled out of your hands unfairly. So that's why I'm making this request. Eli I know after last week you're probably watching this interview very closely so I'm begging you man. Don't get involved in this match. Please just let me do this one on my own. I need to prove that I can do this without any help. Please don't interfere.AJ walks off on that note. Becky looks to the camera. BECKY CHANDE:
We'll be right back!

JAKE AARONS:
Ladies and gentlemen, this opening bout on Mane Event is to be fought over a ten minute time limit with one fall, one submission or a knockout to decide the winner! Introducing first from London, England! He weighs in at two hundred and thirty pounds... BAZ!Baz emerges from the back to the tune of L7's "Shit List", sporting his signature ripped, purple trench coat and white cargo pants. He stops in front of the video screen and takes a puff from his spliff before a stage hand tells him to put it out. Baz raises his barbed wire table leg at the guy, but obliges. Baz continues across the stage and walks down the stairs to the ring, then climbs up the ring steps and gets inside. He raises his weapon high and lets out a scream. Referee Buster Powell gives him a strange look as he takes the weapon away and hands it to a stage hand. JAKE AARONS:
His opponent from Hickory, North Carolina! He weighs in at two hundred and fifty five pounds... SUTTON!CHAD GOMEZ:
Too bad this sky booth isn't soundproof. The Lac's "Outlaw in Me" hits and Sutton walks out onto the stage with his girlfriend, Lilly Mae. They kiss in front of the video wall and then climb down the stairs to a good amount of fanfare, Lilly slaps his ass before he rolls into the ring. JAKE AARONS:
Your referee for this bout is Buster Powell!Aarons exits, Powell finishes checking over Sutton and calls for the opening bell. A lock-up begins the bout, Sutton uses his size advantage to back Baz up into the ropes and goes for a punch. Baz ducks underneath and turns around, using his quickness to catch Sutton up against the ropes with several punches and then a headbutt. Baz staggers backwards, holding his noggin in pain while Sutton just looks at him. SAM HEWITT:
Baz turned the tables on Sutton, blasting him with several punches but the headbutt seemed to hurt him more than it hurt Sutton.
CHAD GOMEZ:
There's two types of people you don't headbutt, Sammy - Samoans and Rednecks.SAM HEWITT:
I'll uh... take your word for it.Baz shakes it off and another lock-up ensues, Sutton initially gets a standing side headlock but Baz pulls out and grabs the bigger man's arm and slaps on an arm wringer. Sutton launches his head into Baz's and the Brit releases the arm and staggers away. Sutton chases him down, clubbing him with a forearm to the back before pushing him into the corner turnbuckles. He grabs a hold of the wrist and goes to whip him across, but Baz counters it and sends Sutton in instead. Sutton comes off the turnbuckles, Baz scoops him up and slams him to the mat! Sutton sits up, holding his back and Baz blasts him with an elbow to the face! He covers! 1... ... 2-Sutton kicks out. Baz gets back to his feet and so too does Sutton, the two lock-up again and Baz sloppily applies a top wrist lock. He hastily transitions into a hammerlock, but Sutton backs him up against the ropes and as Powell is calling for a clean break, the Hillbilly blasts him with a back elbow to the face! Baz stumbles along the ropes, finding solitude in the corner.... Sutton turns around and charges in... LARIA-NO! Baz ducks underneath, Sutton stops short of hitting the turnbuckle but turns around... Baz grabs him and throws him into the ring post! Sutton pulls himself back out, stumbling into the centre of the ring... Baz runs in... NECKBREAKER! He covers! 1... ... 2... KICK OUT! Baz yanks him up off the mat and sends him into the corner. Sutton hits the 'buckles, the camera directly behind him as we watch Baz charge in and eat shit as Sutton gets the boot up. Sutton grabs the staggered Baz and scoops him up... then drops him throat first across the top rope. Baz falls to the mat clutching his throat as Sutton holds his shoulder in pain, Lilly Mae slaps the apron to cheer on her man. Sutton stomps on Baz as he's on his knees, forcing the Brit to get up to his feet. Sutton grabs him as soon as he pulls himself to his feet using the ropes, and sends him back down with a side Redneck leg sweep. Sutton rolls to his feet and backs into the corner, ascending to the second rope... Baz gets up on all fours... then up to his feet and gets a double axe handle to the back! Baz doesn't fall to the mat, but his momentum carries him over to the ropes. He tries to charge out but runs into a big boot from Sutton! Baz spins around and is about to fall to the mat when Sutton grabs him... three quarter facelock... STUNNER~! Baz hits the mat with a thud and Sutton leans back with a nonchalant cover. 1... ... 2... ... 3! Sutton sits up as Lilly Mae jumps into the ring. He gets to his feet and she raises his arm, Sutton gets up in the camera and asks for some real competition! SAM HEWITT:
Short, but sweet. Sutton wants competition, he wants to be a champion here in Lion's Road.
CHAD GOMEZ:
Isn't that a unique goal.
SAM HEWITT:
If I'm Corey Cruelty or Alexander Irvine, I'd be keepin' an eye on this guy - he's got all the tools he needs to make a mark.
With the sound of skin on skin impact, the cameraman slowly steps inside of the men's dressing room as we see a shirtless man with shoulder length hair. With his back turned towards the camera, all we see is a sweaty man doing something that looks like, well, masturbation as a small sound catches the man off guard as he immediately tosses a magazine into the air as it lands on the floor. As the cameraman walks over to the magazine and looks down at it, we see a lovely picture of Ryan LeCavalier and upon bringing the camera back up, we see that the sweaty man is Richard Drake who is holding a pump and a football. With a large smile expressed on his face, he knows exactly what everyone was thinking as he stretches out his pointy finger on his left hand and wags it at the camera while beginning to speak.
RICHARD DRAKE:
Oh man, I can't believe that you guys would think that I would do something like that here. Let me be the first to say that yeah, I have done it in some pretty strange places but I have never done it with a bunch of naked dudes walking around: not that there's anything wrong with that if that's what you're into. But besides the fact that all of you thought that I was beating my meat, no, I was pumping my balls for later.Realizing exactly what he said, he obviously did it on purpose due to the fact that he has this large, immature looking smile expressed. Placing the pump and football into his duffel bag, he takes a seat on the wooden bench and continues to speak.
RICHARD DRAKE:
Now don't get me wrong, Ryan is a very beautiful young lady and anyone would be lucky to have her, in more ways than one but I recognize her as a world class athlete because that's exactly what she is. See, you don't sign to a promotion like Lion’s Road, go undefeated and be a mediocre prospect, that's not how it happens. No, Ryan is one of the absolute best that this industry has to offer and that is why I will take great pride in the fact that not only did I end her precious streak but that this company will have no choice but to recognize the natural talent that I bring to Lion’s Road. It's like I said on Twitter, I am only a cub right now but as soon as I end that precious little streak of Ryan? There's no doubt in my mind that I will be considered a Lion and needless to say; this is the first step in my way to the top of the food chain. You don't have to like it, that's fine but I promise you -- you will have no choice but to accept it.Having reached down into his duffel bag, he pulled out a towel and was wiping the sweat off of his slender body while speaking. RICHARD DRAKE:
You’re about to witness something very special Lion’s Road, so like I have already said, don't close your eyes or you will miss everything.With a smile on his face, he wipes the sweat from off of his neck and then tosses the towel down into his duffel bag.

"99 Problems" by Hugo is already playing as we return from commercial, Richard Drake climbs up into the ring. JAKE AARONS:
Ladies and gentlemen, this next bout is to be fought over a ten minute time limit with one fall, one submission or a knockout to decide the winner. Introducing first from Amsterdam! He weighs in at one hundred and ninety pounds... RICHARD DRAKE!“Afraid” By No Wylde’s haughty reverberated tones come echoing their way into the venue. The lights dim down towards complete darkness, as piercing purple strobe lights flood the crowd. Smoke bellows up as Ryan LeCavalier steps through the curtains backwards, pauses briefly then swings around with a sly smirk adorning her face. She strolls across the stage nonchalantly then climbs down the stairs, reaching out to several fans as she makes a full lap around the ring. JAKE AARONS:
His opponent from Gatineau, Quebec! She weighs in at one hundred and thirty five pounds... RYAN LECAVALIER!She climbs inside and up onto the ropes, placing one foot on the top rope. She extends her arms out and poses for the fans who shower her with a mixed reaction before dropping down and readying herself for the bout. JAKE AARONS:
Your referee for this bout is Robbie Morris!The opening bell sounds and the two lock-up in the middle of the ring. LeCavalier uses her quickness to clamp on a side headlock, then transitions into a hammerlock before spinning Drake around and delivering a snapmare. She purposely misses a kick to the back, swinging her foot over and then hoofs Drake in the chest with a back kick! He flattens out on the mat and she leaps into the air and delivers a knee drop! She covers! 1-KICK OUT! SAM HEWITT:
A kick out just after the one count. Richard Drake's inexperience already showing. Typically when you get pinned - you give yourself those precious two seconds to recover. That's why you see so many two counts, but Drake kicks out right after the one. That's expending unnecessary energy. Now he's going to get pulled up or placed in a hold right after having LeCavalier's body weight dropped on him with no chance to recover which is certainly not an ideal position given the experience difference between these two.Drake gets up and ducks behind LeCavalier and quickly grabs onto her head, performing a basic side headlock. He interacts with the crowd a bit, yelling that's got her now! She tries to shove him off, but he's got the hold applied tightly. She lifts him up off his feet, but he kicks his legs a bit and gets both feet back down on the mat before hip tossing her over and continuing the hold on the mat. LeCavalier brings her legs up and wraps them around Drake's neck to break the hold. Drake scrambles to his feet but LeCavalier meets him there, face to face and both exchange a few words. Ryan LeCavalier slaps on a side headlock of her own and cranks it in before Drake manages to back her into the ropes and shoot her out. She comes back, but he drops down and she leaps over... she springs off the ropes, Drake comes up... OUR LOVE TO ADMIRE! The inverted leg sweep brings Drake down to the mat in a hurry! LeCavalier wraps her legs around Drake's neck again and squeezes, Drake reaches out for the ropes to break free of the headscissors but instead brings himself upright between her legs... then headstands up and out of the hold, landing beside her and immediately clamping on a side headlock! The fans applaud as Drake showboats a bit, allowing LeCavalier to slip out and apply a hammerlock. Drake frantically fights up to his feet and backs her into the ropes, she lets go without issue and raises her hands to show Morris she doesn't intend to disrupt the clean break. CHAD GOMEZ:
A golden opportunity to thwack a guy right in the back of the head and she passes it up. I thought she was a veteran of the ring!
SAM HEWITT:
Not everyone resorts to those kind of tactics.
CHAD GOMEZ:
You don't have to like them to use them, Sammy. Drake and LeCavalier meet in the middle of the ring and lock-up, Drake does a quick go behind and finds himself in a familiar posiiton. He gyrates his hips a bit, drawing the ire of LeCavalier who does a go behind, lifts Drake up off the mat... puts him back down and shoves him forward into the ropes, only to follow him in and blast him with a reverse elbow smash! Drake goes down and tries to slip out of the ring, but isn't quite fast enough for the veteran who yanks him back in and covers, hooking the leg and all. 1... KICK OUT! Again, the inexperience that Hewitt mentioned comes into play. LeCavalier pulls Drake to his feet, who seems a little blown up. She goes behind, trapping his arm in a hammerlock and slowly lets go. Drake's arm remains in that position until he realizes she's not holding on anymore, but by that time he hits the mat with a thud from the leg sweep! He rolls onto his stomach and LeCavalier leaps onto his back, hooking in the bodyscissors before cranking out some 12-6 elbow strikes. Drake's lethargy is forgotten as he powers up to all fours and dives forward to grab the middle rope. LeCavalier gets off of him and backs off, Drake exits the ring and sifts through his hair, checking for blood as he kneels down on the floor. Richard Drake gets up and pretends he's going to roll back inside, but doesn't... which obviously doesn't break the count. Morris' count reaches nine and Drake dives back inside the ring. LeCavalier grabs him as he's trying to get to his feet, double under hooks and snaps him over with a butterfly suplex. Drake rolls out onto the apron and slowly gets up to a knee, the Last Monarch rushes in and cracks him with a knee! Drake crumples onto the apron and falls out onto the floor. CHAD GOMEZ:
Oof! Listen to that thud!SAM HEWITT:
Not a pleasant sound at all! Fans, if you were wondering... a recent revision to the Laurentide Rule Book called for the floor mats to be removed from outside of the ring... in hopes of encouraging the fighters to keep the action contained inside the ring. CHAD GOMEZ:
I don't think taking away the floor mats are going to change a fighter's willingness to fight outside the ring.SAM HEWITT:
Maybe not, but an injury might smarten them up.
CHAD GOMEZ:
And here's Ryan LeCavalier taking full advantage of it - knocking a rookie upside the head with a knee and sending him down to the cement floor.SAM HEWITT:
Say what you will, but it was Richard Drake who tried to roll out of the ring to buy himself some time. A knockout doesn't discriminate between inside and outside the ring. Him rolling out puts him at a bigger disadvantage as he has to recover and find his way back to the ring. The ten count reaches seven, Drake grabs the guardrail and pulls himself up - looking around. LeCavalier requests Morris stop the count and let Drake get back in, telling him she wants to beat him inside the ring. Morris nods and backs off, Drake slides inside and gets to his feet. Morris asks him if he's good and he responds positively so we're back on. LeCavalier and Drake lock-up, Drake breaks free and whips her into the ropes. She comes back, he tries to scoop her up but she slips out the back door and clamps on a choke sleeper! She rotates her body... looking for the saka otoshi but Drake smacks his head backwards against hers, pulls forward and grabs the top rope. LeCavalier drops to a knee holding her face - just above the eyebrow. Morris checks on her and Drake drapes himself over the top turnbuckle. LeCavalier tells Morris she's fine and gets up, Drake turns around and hesitates coming out of the corner. LeCavalier gets sick of waiting and goes to retrieve him, Drake kicks her just above the knee and she is sent forward into the EXPOSED TOP TURNBUCKLE! Drake watches her fall and smiles before rolling her up. Morris counts 1... and Drake throws his feet up on the ropes in addition to grabbing the tights. 2... 3! Drake hops up and down, celebrating like he's an Olympic medallist before he takes off out of the ring, climbs onto the stage... hops up and down with his arms raised again before hightailing it to the back. SAM HEWITT:
Is that any way to win your debut match?CHAD GOMEZ:
Oh, please. Don't get all high and mighty because it wasn't what YOU'D do. Let's go to commercial, I hear Becky's standing by backstage after the break.

Becky Chande lies in wait. She’s ready to pounce like a cat on a mouse. It’s a bit unclear why until we see Julian Cutlass round the corner. BECKY CHANDE:
Julian, a few words?Cutlass is already decked out in the black trunks. B.L.R. t-shirt. King of Lions Heavyweight title draped over his shoulder. He keeps walking. She follows. BECKY CHANDE:
The fans out there are buzzing after your heated exchange with Jacob Hammerstein over the weekend. What –
JULIAN CUTLASS [interrupting]:
Heated exchange? I don’t know what the Hell you’re talking about.BECKY CHANDE:
Hammerstein and yourself had some unkind words to say –JULIAN CUTLASS [interrupting, again]:
Unkind words? Is that what you’re going on about?He stops. JULIAN CUTLASS:
Some guys need to lie to themselves. They lie because it makes getting up in the morning a bit easier, because they don’t have to deal with facts, because they don’t have to face the truth. And the truth is, Becky, that while I really couldn’t give a rip about Jacob Hammerstein either way, he reminds me of how wrestling has become a cult of personality based on showmanship. I don’t need people to follow me. I don’t need to play the nice guy angle.He smirks. JULIAN CUTLASS:
Because ‘da people’ respect me a Hell of a lot more than they do Jacob Hammerstein, and I’m sure that eats him up inside. Real recognize real, isn’t that what he said? Whatever the fuck that means. Well, people can tell the difference between a martial artist and a gameshow host. Let me tell you something, Becky… some guys live for the cheer of the crowd. They need validation. And then there are those of us who prefer the sound of silence, who want to leave the fans stunned, who defy their expectations and desire, who have no limits. You know, Becky –He pauses when Mandeville Nelson comes into a view. MANDEVILLE NELSON:
Can we talk for a minute, Julian?His eyes narrow on Nelson. The anti-establishment Blazin’ King hates the suit. He shrugs. JULIAN CUTLASS:
Your dime.The two men walk off the camera, leaving Becky with more questions than answers.
4/13 - Burlington, Ontario
4/20 - Mississauga, Ontario
4/27 - Toronto, Ontario

Kazoulis is already walking out across the stage to "Can't Be Touched" as we return from break. JAKE AARONS:
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a Laurentide Cup bout to be fought over a ten minute time limit with one fall, one submission or a knockout to decide the winner. Introducing first from Brooklyn, New York! She weighs in at one hundred and seventy five pounds... GRACE KAZOULIS!She climbs down the stairs and slaps hands with some fans before climbing up onto the apron and into the ring, raising her arms. Breaking Benjamin's "Until the End" interrupts and AJ Knight comes sauntering out with Eli Buchanan by his side. JAKE AARONS:
Her opponent from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania! He weighs in at two hundred and twenty pounds... AJ KNIGHT!The duo make their way across the stage and down the stairs, Knight ignoring the jeers of the crowd as he climbs up the stairs to the ring. Eli Buchanan gives him a few words of advice and slaps him on the leg before AJ climbs through the ropes.
JAKE AARONS:
Your referee for this bout is Brian Shelzi!A lock-up starts things after the opening bell and the two jockey for position, ending with Kazoulis shoving AJ away. Knight looks incredulous! He walks over to the corner and Eli Buchanan hops up on the apron and whispers something in his ear. Kazoulis tells Shelzi to order Buchanan off the apron, but Shelzi backs her up instead. Of course, given Shelzi's history as a manager it's not hard to see why he'd side with one in this particular case. Knight walks back into the centre of the ring and locks up again, he arm drags Kazoulis to the mat. Sheracles gets up and nods, Knight eggs her on to tie-up again and the two do... Kazoulis takes AJ down with an arm drag! Knight gets up to his knees and shakes his head, Eli Buchanan yells at Shelzi - telling him that Kazoulis pulled AJ's hair. Shelzi questions her on it and she denies it, someone in the crowd tells Shelzi that "she didn't pull shit!" which Kazoulis chuckles at and applauds. Knight gets up and the two circle around, a lock-up... Kazoulis pulls a side headlock and wrenches it in tightly... Knight backs her into the ropes and shoots her across. She comes back with a shoulder block that knocks AJ down! She hits the ropes, AJ rolls over to his knees but drops flat down - forcing her to jump over him. She rebounds off the opposite set of ropes... Knight pops up and hip tosses her down! CHAD GOMEZ:
Is there a more blue chip prospect in Lion's Road than AJ Knight? Look at how crisp and smooth that hip toss was!
SAM HEWITT:
He is a talented youngster no doubt about it, but that's what makes the fact that he felt the need to join Eli Buchanan all the more disturbing. This kid has all the pieces, he just needs to solve the puzzle and now he's got Ben Chrenshaw and Eli Buchanan showing him how to complete it. CHAD GOMEZ:
I can think of far worse people to have mentoring me than Ben Chrenshaw. A former Heritage Champion, a former Iron Champion, the only man to have made Julian Cutlass tap out in Lion's Road...SAM HEWITT:
I'm familiar and I won't deny that Chrenshaw is one of the most decorated fighters we have here, I just don't agree with the tactics of the Red Army.Knight tells Kazoulis that his brains are going to beat her brawn, allowing Sheracles to grab him in a side headlock again. Once more, Knight backs her up and sends her off into the opposite set of ropes... she comes back with a shotei! Knight goes down, but Kazoulis hits the adjacent ropes as Knight scrambles back up, he tries to leap over Kazoulis but she catches him in midair and power slams him to the mat! The crowd pops big for the impressive display of strength while Buchanan accuses her of grabbing AJ's tights! Kazoulis backs up into the corner and Knight staggers to his fee-SHOTEI AGAIN! Knight nearly gets turned inside out! She drops down for the cover! 1... ... 2-KICK OUT! Knight kicks out and rolls over, Eli Buchanan reaches in the ring and pulls his client out to the apron and stands him up on the floor. He advises Knight to take a walk and take his time, so AJ does. Grace tries to get out to chase AJ, but Eli Buchanan gets up on the apron in her way. She threatens to hit him, but he reminds her of the no contact clause in his contract and tells her that he'll sue her and her family into the poor house if she does that! Knight rolls back inside, gets up to his feet and calls for a knuckle lock. Kazoulis begins to out muscle AJ, forcing him down... but AJ knees her in the gut to keep from going down and knocks her down to a knee, applying even more pressure... but he's not utilizing the leverage to his advantage, allowing Kazoulis to fight back up... she hoofs AJ in the gut and then monkey flips him up and over! AJ storms to his feet, Kazoulis charges in... AJ ducks and she goes tumbling out to the floor through the ropes! AJ quickly heads out to the apron and lines her up... he charges across... leaps... DIVING LARIAT! Knight gets up, tells a fan in the front row to shut up and pulls Kazoulis up and throws her inside the ring. He climbs in behind her and chucks her onto the middle rope, using his knee to keep her against it as he cravates her. Shelzi gives a very slow five count, AJ backs off at four with his arms in the air in innocence. The crowd boos as Kazoulis comes up choking, AJ grabs her and plants her head first into the top turnbuckle. He grabs her and tries to Irish whip her across the ring, but she holds steady... AJ tries to punch her but she ducks, turns around and clobbers him! AJ falls back into the corner and she grabs him, sets him up for the ride - whipping him into the opposite corner. He hits hard, but Kazoulis hits even harder as she connects with a European uppercut! He staggers out... Kazoulis grabs him in a waist hold and lifts him up but AJ thumbs her eye! Kazoulis falls to her knees clutching her eye, Shelzi checks on her asking what happened. She says eye poke and he questions AJ, but AJ insists it was a bell clap and that she's lying! SAM HEWITT:
Yes, you heard correctly, fans - AJ Knight insisting that thumb to the eye, a blatant thumb to the eye was actually a bell clap.
CHAD GOMEZ:
How do you know it wasn't? Kazoulis gets so reckless in her motions sometimes that he very well could have been going for one and she turned into his thumb.SAM HEWITT:
Likely story.AJ chucks Kazoulis into the corner and drives his shoulder into her gut. Kazoulis falls to a seated position and AJ starts choking her with his foot, Shelzi gives a reasonable count this time and Eli Buchanan accuses him of a fast count! Jake Aarons tells us we're down to the final two minutes in the match, Knight snapmares Kazoulis to the mat and clamps on a rear chinlock, making sure to drive the point of his knee into Kazoulis' spine. The fans begin getting loud, chanting for Sheracles who fights to her feet and breaks free... she whips AJ into the ropes, but he rebounds with a rolling forearm smash! Kazoulis stumbles back and the ropes save her from falling down, AJ charges in... EUROPEAN UPPERCUT FROM GRACE! Knight falls down but pops back up, only to eat two big shots to the head... Grace backs him into the ropes... shoots him across... AJ swings, Grace ducks... REAR WAIST HOLD... GERMAN SU--Eli reaches in, grabs Kazoulis' foot and yanks... she falls, AJ twists in mid air and lands on top... Buchanan is holding her leg down! 1... ... 2... ... 3! Knight rolls off, Kazoulis wearily rolls out of the ring, shakes off AJ landing on her head and gives chase to Eli Buchanan, who runs up the stairs and across the stage. Kazoulis is about to follow him through when Kraken and Ben Chrenshaw step out in her way. Knight climbs the stairs behind her and walks right up to her, asking what happened. She tells him and AJ shakes his head and pushes past his stablemates. SAM HEWITT:
Eli Buchanan's tactics score the win for AJ Knight, eliminating Grace Kazoulis officially from the Laurentide Cup. Knight and Rob Draven will meet next week here on this program to determine a Block C winner as each have two points. CHAD GOMEZ:
Can't wait for that!
SAM HEWITT:
Fans, don't go away! We have two more Laurentide Cup bouts to come including King of the Lions Julian Cutlass versus Hammerstein!

The opening to "Tired" by Stone Sour blasts over the PA system and Justin Seville brushes the curtain aside to a chorus of boos. He smirks, soaking it in as he marches across the stage and down the steps. JAKE AARONS:
Ladies and gentlemen, this Laurentide Cup bout is to be fought over a ten minute time limit with one fall, one submission or a knockout to decide the winner! Introducing first from Raleigh, North Carolina! He weighs in at two hundred and twenty four pounds! JUSTIN SEVILLE! He walks around a side of the ring before climbing up the stairs on the opposite side and steps between the ropes. He raises his arms and the crowd boos again, but those boos are interrupted by a voice counting to two, then telling everyone that Chrenshaw is coming... for you. The Smith's "Panic" hits and Ben Chrenshaw marches out, Eli Buchanan in tow. The duo walk across the stage and climb down the stairs. JAKE AARONS:
His opponent from London, England! He weighs in at two hundred and thirteen pounds! BEN CHRENSHAW!
Chrenshaw slides into the ring and immediately takes his corner while Eli begins arguing with Xavier Price.
JAKE AARONS:
Your referee for this bout is Xavier Price!
The bell sounds as both men finishing warming up inside the ring. The two men circle around, Seville swoops in ready to get things started but Chrenshaw hesitates and smiles as Seville looks a bit agitated with the false start. Seville asks him if he's ready to do this and Chrenshaw's eyes give him the response he was hoping for, the two calculated fighters lock horns to a pop. Chrenshaw starts being pushed back, but swoops things around and pushes Seville back against the corner turnbuckles. Seville kicks off the 'buckles and the lock-up continues back into the centre of the ring, Seville forcing Chrenshaw down to a knee. Chrenshaw slowly gets back up and puts his foot behind Seville's knee, forcing him to bend forward into a kneeling position but still the lock-up sees no winner. Seville powers up and pushes Chrenshaw back into the corner, but this time Xavier Price calls for a break. A struggle ensues, but Seville breaks clean... but not without a shove. Chrenshaw smirks. SAM HEWITT:
The classic Chrenshaw smirk.
CHAD GOMEZ:
You know he's loving every minute of this bout. I was talking to Eli Buchanan backstage earlier and he told Chrenshaw was very excited for this bout, he likened Justin Seville to an 'evil' Matt Pulver. That's high praise.Chrenshaw avoids the lock-up this time and goes behind, he spins Seville around and grabs a hold of his arm. He twists the wrist, forcing Seville down to a knee because of the pain. Seville gets up, grabs Ben's wrist to try and break free and does so, turning the arm wringer around on him. Chrenshaw drops to a knee and tries to push Seville's legs apart to lessen the leverage he has on the hold but Seville clamps the hold on tighter. Chrenshaw stands up, then rolls forward, pops up and turns the arm wringer around on him. The former Heritage and Iron Champion yanks him into a front chancery, but Seville slips out and arm wrings him down to the mat! Chrenshaw pops up, holding his back and slowly breaks into a smile. The two circle around and lock-up, Seville pulls a side headlock and cranks it on, Chrenshaw tries to get his foot behind Seville's knee again and push him to the mat but Seville rotates around to avoid this, but Chrenshaw uses this opportunity to shoot Seville off into the ropes. On the return, he goes for the spinning back elbow but Seville ducks it... rear waist hold, lifts Chrenshaw up and plants him face down on the mat with a takedown. Seville backs off and dusts his hands off, Chrenshaw shakes his head. SAM HEWITT:
Justin Seville seeing what he can do to get inside Ben Chrenshaw's head. CHAD GOMEZ:
Admirable tactic. Not an easy one, but admirable.Chrenshaw gets up and Seville and he circle about again. Just as Seville swoops in for the lock-up, Chrenshaw strikes him with a headbutt! With "Serious" Seville doubled over, the Crippler clubs him in the back a couple of times with a forearm. He pushes Seville against the ropes and drills him with a couple of knees to the midsection, he grabs Seville's head and goes for a strike to the head but dodges it and goes behind, he swings Chrenshaw around and whips him into the ropes. Upon the return, Seville catches him in an abdominal stretch! Seville looks at the ropes, contemplating whether or not to use it for leverage, Xavier Price circles around the men to ensure no such shenanigans are taking place. Chrenshaw stretches out his free arm and grabs the middle rope to break up the hold and retreats into the corner. Eli Buchanan sees Seville adjusting his knee pad and tells him he stuffed something inside it, Price drops down to check it out while Seville protests and Chrenshaw runs in with a cheap shot! Seville is staggered, Chrenshaw grabs him and knee lifts him to send him down to the mat. He grabs a rear chinlock, but frees up his right arm and drives an elbow down on top of Seville's head. He releases him, Seville crawls toward the ropes... Chrenshaw pulls him throws him into the corner and cracks him with the knee to the head he missed earlier! CHAD GOMEZ:
There you go, Sammy - Chrenshaw always gets his man!Seville goes down as Price pulls Chrenshaw away, the Serious one quickly pulls himself out of the corner and lunges at Chrenshaw as he approaches, nailing him with a shot to the gut! With the Crippler doubled over, Seville rocks him with a right hook! Seville staggers to his feet, still feeling the effects of the knee... Chrenshaw roars back up, but Seville ducks... EXPLODER SUPLEX! Seville bridges for a pin! 1... ... 2... ... KICK OUT! Seville rolls onto his side, Chrenshaw also... the Crippler beats Serious to his feet and dropkicks Seville in the leg! He timbers over and Chrenshaw hooks the leg and steps over, but instead of completing the STF the Crippler begins punching Seville in the side of the head! Price tells him to defend himself, so he pushes off the mat... Chrenshaw applies the facelock with the occasional forearm club, grinding his forearm across the bridge of his nose. Seville drives his head into Chrenshaw causing the Crippler to loosen his grip, Chrenshaw gets up, Seville rushes to his feet and clotheslines Chrenshaw into the corner! He hits him with a second, then a third! Seville goes for a rolling elbow, but Chrenshaw ducks... CALF KICK! Seville falls to his knees, Chrenshaw kicks at his thighs a few times, sending him down onto all fours. Chrenshaw hooks the leg again, then applies the same facelock as before complete with the clubbing blows to the face. Chrenshaw transitions to a front chancery, pulls Seville to his feet... Seville roars up and cracks the Crippler with a huge right hook! He spins around, Seville nails him with a stiff low kick to the outer thigh, knocking him down to his knees... he yanks him in... PILE-NO! Chrenshaw pulls his legs out... HALF CRAB! Chrenshaw tries to get him turned over, but Seville wallops him with a boot to the face sending him staggering back across the ring. Chrenshaw falls into the ropes... comes back... JAWBREAKER LARIAT! Seville goes down, Chrenshaw covers! 1... ... 2... KICK OUT! Chrenshaw pulls him to his feet, whipping him into the ropes and chop blocks him! Seville goes down face first into the mat, Chrenshaw stomps the leg and picks it up... applying the single leg crab! Seville fights to his forearms and drags himself across the mat, Chrenshaw does his best but releases, figuring he didn't have a solid grip on his opponent anyway. Seville rolls out to the floor, Chrenshaw follows. Serious tries to take a walk, but Chrenshaw punches him in the lower back and throws him back inside the ring. Seville gets up and punts Chrenshaw as he's sliding in, knocking him back out of the ring! Seville drops to the mat, rolls out the adjacent side and clobbers Chrenshaw as he tries to get up. Seville grabs him and goes to Irish whip him, but the Crippler reverses it and sends Seville into the stage! Eli Buchanan is shouting praises, barking orders and just being a general nuisance! Chrenshaw grabs Seville, who decks him again! Chrenshaw staggers and Seville kicks him in the thigh! He pulls the Crippler in and looks poised to hit the Piledriver on the concrete floor! Chrenshaw looks to be fighting it when Buchanan grabs Chrenshaw in a rear waist lock and pulls him out in and away, Seville notices the count and slides back inside. Chrenshaw shoves Eli aside and dashes for the ring... but it's too late. The bell sounds. Seville raises his arms to boos as Chrenshaw turns and gives Eli the worst look you can imagine, Buchanan puts his hands up and tells the Crippler that he saved him! Chrenshaw's eyes again say a thousand words, but the man doesn't utter one.... he shoulders past Eli and climbs up onto the stage and exits. SAM HEWITT:
It looks like Eli Buchanan's Kool-Aid isn't quite as delicious as it once was.CHAD GOMEZ:
This can't be happening... I mean, we finally get a chance to see Hammerstein destroyed once and for all... and this... this... no! no!
SAM HEWITT:
Fans, we best take a break here... for Chad's sake.

We return from break with Mandeville Nelson standing in front of the video wall. MANDEVILLE NELSON:
Last week on this program, you heard the challenge... because it's all anyone has been talking about this past week... Eli Buchanan wants War Games against his bitter enemy and former friend. He's my guest at this time! Please welcome Hammerstein! "World's Apart" plays and Hammerstein rushes out of the back to the cheers of the Hamilton fans. He's wearing camouflage fatigues and a Kevlar helmet, carrying a swagger stick. Mandeville Nelson looks a bit surprised by his getup. CHAD GOMEZ:
Ha! He's into cosplay, too? What a dork.SAM HEWITT:
Oh, stop.Nelson leans the microphone into Hammerstein. HAMMERSTEIN:
Ya know, people... Da Hammer is gonna rap atcha a lil' bit 'bout tradition. Ya see dis sport was built on tradition.

HAMMERSTEIN:
'dis man is as bad as dey come and he's goin' ta be layin' y'all souls ta waste come War Games! "Can't Be Touched" hits for the second time tonight and Grace Kazoulis emerges, wearing fatigues and carrying a Kanabō stick. She extends her hand for a shake, but Hammerstein, ever the gentlemen takes her hand and kisses it which elicits a surprised smile from the Sheracles. HAMMERSTEIN:
See? Eli, dis is how ya 'sposed to treat a lady - that's why Holly loves me, bro. But it's how ya 'specially supposed to treat a lady dat can stomp a mud hole in yo ass.

Matt Pulver follows up behind and these two get the biggest pop besides Hammerstein. Also dressed in fatigues, the assembled army all shake hands with one another before standing united.

Hammerstein waits inside the ring as the stone-grooved rhythm of “Columbia” by Oasis fills the venue. The People's Army has gone to the back, the very place that Julian Cutlass emerges from - clad in a blue, hooded robe. The crowd warps into a frenzy as he steadily makes his way across the stage with a relaxed, assured confidence. He throws the robe to a handler as he walks down the staging stairs then climbs the stairs to the ring.
JAKE AARONS:
Ladies and gentlemen, this main event Laurentide Cup bout is to be fought over television time remaining with one fall, one submission or a knockout to decide the winner! Introducing first from Whynot, Mississippi! He weighs in at two hundred and sixty seven pounds... HAMMERSTEIN! His opponent fighting out of Vancouver, British Columbia! He weighs in at two hundred and nineteen pounds... JULIAN CUTLASS!
Cutlass ducks underneath the top rope to enter the ring. He stretches his legs and throws a few punches before standing in his corner in wait.
JAKE AARONS:
Your referee for this bout is Cordell Garner!
The bell sounds to start our main event, Cutlass and Hammer circle around each other several times before Cutlass ducks a forearm strike and goes behind, he clamps on a rear waist hold and tries to do something with it but the larger Hammerstein stands his ground and keeps each of his hands on each of Cutlass' wrists. Hammerstein seemingly breaks the grip and goes for a go behind of his own, but Cutlass walks away. This serves to irritate Hammerstein a bit, and the two men walk a circle around each other again before locking up. Hammerstein applies a standing side headlock, Cutlass goes with it and dips low - trying to pull himself out - but Hammerstein wrenches it in as he drops to a knee. Cutlass fights back up to his his feet, driving his forearm into Hammerstein's gut and then countering out into a top wrist lock but Hammerstein overpowers him and sends him down to the mat! The crowd gasps as Cutlass rolls back up to his feet slowly and backs up against the ropes, holding his head. He nods, acknowledging that Hammerstein got the better of him in that exchange but returns to the centre of the ring where he kicks Hammerstein in the thigh, then takes him to the mat with a single leg takedown. Cutlass leaps up, grabs Hammerstein in a side headlock but the big man from Mississippi pulls himself free and clamps on a hammerlock. Cutlass is close enough to the ropes to grab them for a break but opts instead to rotate around until he's able to grab Hammerstein's ankle... Hammerstein lets go of his hold as Cutlass trips him to the mat and slaps on a single leg lock.
SAM HEWITT:
As much as Julian Cutlass is revered for being one of the most dangerous strikers in our sport, I didn't really expect to see Hammerstein of all people on the mat trading holds with the King of the Lions.
CHAD GOMEZ:
Why not? He knows what it's like to get struck by Cutlass. He probably doesn't want to feel it again.
Hammerstein reaches over and grabs the ropes, Cutlass quickly gets to his feet and kicks Hammer's leg out from underneath him as soon as he gets back up. He jumps on his thigh, crossing Hammer's legs over each other and leans back. Hammerstein quickly grabs the ropes again and Cutlass springs to his feet. He stomps on the big man as he tries to get up, then begins lighting him up with kicks. A kick to the stomach serves to anger Hammerstein, who's eyes widen... and he says COME ON to Cutlass and slaps his stomach. Cutlass lets out a sly smile and backs off a bit, letting Hammerstein's adrenaline come back down a bit but the Mississippi fan favourite charges him... a kick to the gut doubles the champion over and Hammerstein begins clubbing his back! He whips Cutlass into the ropes, hip tosses him on the return and then does a senton across his leg! The crowd gasps as Cutlass cries out in pain, Hammerstein grabs the leg from underneath him and cranks on it. Cutlass uses his free leg, specifically his heel to stomp his stomach... and then pulls his leg free and goes for a cross armbreaker! Hammerstein keeps his hands gripped tightly on each other and tries to roll over, but Cutlass fights it and puts him back flat on the mat and tries again. He gets Hammer's arm free, but the big man quickly drapes his leg across the ropes.
CHAD GOMEZ:
And this here is the systematic destruction of Hammerstein... and I love it.
Cutlass backs off, letting Hammerstein get back to his feet - clutching his shoulder. The two circle around before Cutlass cracks him with a kick to the side of the knee, Hammerstein seems to absorb it however. A kick-punch-punch-kick combo staggers Hammer and the champion applies a side headlock on the people's champion. Hammer backs him up into the ropes and shoots him off, Cutlass comes back looking for a palm strike but Hammerstein ducks it... Cutlass keeps running, springs off the ropes... BLAZIN' KI-HAMMERSTEIN CATCHES IT! He wags his finger in Cutlass' face and throws the leg aside, spinning Cutlass around into a... TOMAHAWK CHOP! Cutlass is staggered back into the corner and Hammerstein charges in with a crossbody splash! Cutlass slumps down into a seated position and Hammerstein calls his shot... he rushes into the other corner and then charges back in... CANNONBALL~! Garner forces him to back up since he doesn't immediately follow up, Cutlass shakes his head and gets up... SLAPPING HAMMERSTEIN RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE! Hammerstein grimaces and doubles over, but fires back with one of his own! The two begin exchanging brutal slaps! Cutlass! Hammer! Cutlass! Hammer! Cutlass! Hammer! Cutlass! Hammer! Cutlass gets wobbled by the last one and decides enough is enough, time for a change, etc and grabs Hammer in a plum clinch and knees him several times. The big man wobbles on his feet, Cutlass gives him a push kick to send him down to the mat and falls back into the ropes to recover.
SAM HEWITT:
A slap battle between Cutlass and Hammerstein! They echoed all throughout the venue and Cutlass looks worse for wear from it!
Garner gets to eight on the ten count before Hammerstein gets up to his knees, Cutlass advances on him and hits him with several kicks to the chest. Hammerstein stands wobbly, but isn't going down... Cutlass delivers a rolling koppu kick! Hammerstein teeters over and falls out onto the apron and eventually the floor through the middle and bottom ropes. Garner exits the ring to check on him and deems him OK, climbs back inside and begins the ten count. Cutlass rolls out after him and pulls him to his feet, but the people's champion smacks Cutlass with a thunderous right! The champion staggers back, but comes back for more... ONLY TO GET ROCKED AGAIN! Hammerstein grabs him... BODY SLAM ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR! Garner orders Hammerstein back inside the ring and he listens, Cutlass arches his back on the floor and looks to be in a world of hurt. Garner starts the ten count on him.

JAKE AARONS:
Referee Cordell Garner has issued a yellow card to Hammerstein for preventing his opponent from getting back into the ring. His first public warning!
Garner goes out to check on Cutlass again, then hops onto the apron to create some separation between the two. He begins his ten count over again...

SAM HEWITT:
Julian Cutlass seems to be running on instincts alone! He barely made it back in time!
Hammerstein pulls Julian Cutlass' dead weight up off the mat and props him against the ropes... he tries to Irish whip him across, but Cutlass collapses to the mat. The fans gasp, but Hammerstein wastes no time taking advantage and charges in... BIG SPLASH! He hooks the leg!

Hammerstein rolls off and gets to his feet, he starts dropping his arm like a Hammer! He pulls Cutlass up.. PALM STRIKE! Cutlass staggers the big man, knocking him back into the ropes which spring him forward... he grabs him... EXPLOD-NO! Hammerstein blocks it and elbows his way out of it, he grabs a hold of Cutlass and body slams him! He springs off the ropes and drops an elbow on his chest! Cutlass rolls onto his stomach and Hammerstein seizes the opportunity, he stands over Cutlass and leaps into the air... driving all of his body weight down on his lower back with a hip drop! He gets up and does it again! He grabs Cutlass' arms, drapes them over his knees and clamps on the chinlock to complete the camel clutch! Cutlass writhes in pain, but shouts NO! each time Garner asks him if he wants to submit. Hammerstein is very clearly wearing down, loosening the grip on the clutch... Cutlass pulls his arms free and the Blazin' King pushes up off the mat... gets onto all fours... Hammerstein gets up and leaps into the air, trying to bring all his weight down again but Cutlass slips out the back door! Hammerstein lands hard on his ass, the Blazin' King clamps on a rear naked choke! Hammerstein falls back and turns, reaching out for the ropes... Cutlass roars as he tightens the hold, Hammerstein hammers his hand into Cutlass' arm, trying to break his grip before trying to reach forward again... Cutlass swings a leg over and hooks it. Hammerstein remains reaching out, the fans solidly behind him... Cutlass begins rocking him back and forth... Hammerstein is rolled onto his stomach, he reaches out but quickly grabs a hold of Cutlass' arm as the champion gets to his knees and yanks back on the choke, camel clutch style. Hammerstein's arm reaches out again... but goes limp! Garner calls for the bell! Cutlass lets go of the hold and collapses to the mat.
SAM HEWITT:
I... wow.
CHAD GOMEZ:
Wow is right! Holy shit.
SAM HEWITT:
Just when you thought Julian Cutlass was in danger, he takes advantage of the slightest error on Hammerstein's part and turns it into a rear naked choke that Hammerstein was unable to escape from. Being on his side or his back, he may have had a shot... but Cutlass turned him onto his stomach, then reared back with all he had left in the tank and choked him unconscious. Unbelievable! Wow!
Cutlass rolls out of the ring, Jimmy Winner helps him walk up the stairs and guides him across the stage. The People's Army comes out from the back and hops off the stage, rushing into the ring to check on Hammerstein who weakly gives a thumbs up as the show closes.
