HALL OF PAIN 2020
(The shot pans in on a door inside of a locker room of the Rogers Center. The lighting in the room is bright. Soon the knob on the door is turned and the door opens, in walks Rex McAllister who is shown lugging his bags in. He’s wearing white WWX merchandise t-shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers. He’s got an intense look on his face even with it being a couple hours before his Hell In A Cell match. Once he sets his bags down he sits down on one of the benches and leans forward resting his elbows on his knees. He begins thinking.)
Hall of Pain was finally here. The atmosphere was electric, maybe not as much as it could be but surely more than what many could have anticipated. This was the marquee event that had immortalized so many names that are now regarded in WWX lore, and certainly on this night the case would be the same. With his return in June at Armada, Rex McAllister had slowly but surely been picking up momentum working his way to this moment. His return hasn’t been well received by everyone in the back. Having gained notoriety globally by finding refuge and then success in another company when WWX originally closed its doors, this rubbed the competition the wrong way because they many saw that as a reason to question where his loyalties lied, but in all honesty Rex did not see it that way and neither did the higher brass of the WWX. Had Rex reached the kind of fame and status that he’d always dreamed of? No. He’d exceeded his own expectations from the time he’d broken into the business. Many tend to forget he was originally trained back home in Sea Isle’s neighbor Neptune at the Independent Wrestling Association House of Pain and started as a hardcore wrestler before becoming more fundamently sound to now being considered one of the best technical wrestlers ever.
One could argue that Rex’s journey hasn’t been everything it could be, but that’s likely mostly due to the fact that WWX was still trying to get some feet back under them, moving at a crawl while having to re-learn how to walk again. But he hasn’t complained, made excuses, or had second thoughts about any contributions he’s made toward getting the company back on track again. At Hall of Pain he intended to fully show what this place would be missing without his presence. He along with Syndicate and Tommy Lipton were the biggest reasons why the company was able to keep it’s doors open until they finally closed in late 2018. Many would argue that this place would only go as far as their top talent could take it just the same, but regardless of how it all played out Rex wanted to make sure he did his part and left his mark in a way that only he can on the biggest stage of them all. Keven Capone, his Hall of Pain opponent, was determined to bring his best, but so was Rex. Capone could question Rex’s passion all he wished, but his drive for competing has never died, his confidence in his own abilities has never wavered. Rex’s value to both WWX and the other company he’s worked in for years couldn’t be questioned, and soon enough once he got settled into the new WWX by getting to the top again, then those who question now will understand later. Rex isn’t the kind of competitor to rest on his laurels, and isn’t blinded by success. His success is what has opened other doors in this business and made him the intelligent wrestling mind that he’s well noted as being. Whether his time was now or later, one thing Rex would never let people question is his passion. After this, neither will Kevin Capone.
(The shot pans in closer to Rex. Soon Rex snaps out of his pondering thought mode and finally acknowledges the camera for the first time.)
Rex McAllister: I’m gonna keep this short and sweet this time, because quite frankly I’ve said everything that I’ve needed to say and more as we approach our match tonight, Kevin. I mean, lives and careers are about to change after this, and when things come to a close tonight I’m going to make sure those changes mean something for the better, for myself and this place. I’ve wanted the best for this place from the start, or else I would’ve never wasted my time in coming back. The answers you’re looking for to the questions you have about my commitment will come soon enough, but with so much riding on tonight’s affair that’s all I’m focused on. A 20 foot high steel cage with no way in and no way out? That’s my focus. How am I going to finally put you down. What will it take to get back to the top and lead this company like I know how to do? When we lock up, Kevin, there won’t be any stoppage for you. No chance of taking a breather on the bench because you’re tired, battered, and grizzled body needs it. There won’t be any promises of tomorrow for your career once I’m done putting you through the biggest beating of your life, because you’re right once all the fireworks and pyro shoot through rooftops and the fans have settled in as we keep them on the edge of their seats, we’ll then be getting right down to business. We’ll find out who’s the hungriest. We’ll find out just who wants the biggest piece of the pie for themselves. Nobody takes anything off my table, and those who try barely get to live on telling the story. All that matters to me are results. I defeated the living legend James Ranger to get this opportunity. I’ve defeated the best this place has thrown at me over the years, all who’ve done more and said worse to and about me moreso than yourself. Now if I have to beat the respect out of you, then so be it. You’ve poked the bear one too many times, and now it’s about time you be dealt the consequences. You wanted to see the passionate most hungry side of Rex McAllister at Hall Of Pain inside Hell In A Cell?
(Rex glares into the camera)
Rex McAllister: You better be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.
See you soon.
(The scene fades out and transitions elsewhere.)
youtu.be/fyyrD3ypp7k
'Don't stop the Devil' by Dead Posey blast through the speakers.
The screen transitions showing WWX superstars past and present.
The camera pans throughout the stadium showing the 300 fans placed saftely throughout the first level of the Rogers Center. The stadium is set up like a Greek Temple... The stage itself is slightly raised, and atop it sits six LED-covered pillars along with a triangular roof structure that connects them all (again, similar to the Parthenon in Greece). Behind the pillars sits a massive video wall that, when combined with the pillars, can display any number of graphics.
Pyros explode through the stadium and the camera moves its way to where Gary Lane and Mike Hart are stationed at ring side.
Lane: Welcome to Toronto Ontario folks!!
Hart: We have an exciting night of action ahead of us on our spookiest Pay Per View of the year!
Lane: And our biggest!
Hart: Yes! 3 huge matches at the grandest stage of them!
Lane: Our opening match to determine the NEW International Champion in a Hall of Pain Match type, first created by our current CEO back in 2009!
Hart: This Battle Royal has a few scheduled superstars already set to compete but is OPEN to all!!!
Lane: following that we have a number one contenders match!
Hart: Two WWX superstars, one of the past and one of the present set out to battle for a great opportunity.
Lane: Kevin Capone, a man on the rise back in 2011 until his journey was cut short faces Rex McAllister, a man who has found other success away from WWX during our time shut down.
Hart: These two have a shot to quickly put themselves back on top and it will come down I think to who wants it more!
Lane: And this all takes place in a 20 foot Cage!
Hart: I cannot wait to see Hell in a Cell!!
Lane: Then last but certainly not least, we close off the night with the WWX Championship match!
Hart: Tommy Lipton has been accused by his opponent Syndicate as a man who hasn't earned his keep here in the WWX.
Lane: Tommy Lipton has screwed with a God and tonight he will feel a Gods Wrath!
Hart: I haven't been the biggest Lipton fan but Syndicate has clearly lost his mind!
Lane: Willie Steen joins in to make tonights WWX Championship a triple threat!
Hart: And Xander Adams is the special guest referee!
Lane: Hall of Pain is brought to you by FOCO, get your favorite team on your protective mask and show your true support!
'In the End' by Linkin Park hits the PA
Bonn: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the World Wrestling Xistence Chief Executive Officer and YOUR World Champion, TOMMMYYYYY LIIIIPTOOON!
CHEER/BOOOOOO
Tommy Lipton dressed in a suit and power tie, wearing a flashy white gold watch holding the WWX Championship he walks with confidence down the ramp and he grabs a mic before he gets into the ring.

Well tonight a supposed God will Bleed!
CHEER/Booo
TL: Tonight I wanted to come out here and welcome you all to the Hall of Pain!!
'In the End' plays as Tommy Lipton to a mix reaction heads back up the ramp...
Commercial**
A door is half open and Kevin Capone is seen, in full black track-suit working a sweat, throwing controlled punching combinations towards mitts held by someone.
?: Come on, one more time.
Capone throws a jab, cross, uppercut combination. He stops to go over a sheet with the person not in the shot and Capone notices the cameras catching him and smiles before closing the door.
Hart: What was that about?
Lane: We may find out soon!
COMMERCIAL
Hart: We are back and the first match of the night is to find out who will move forward as our official number one contender for the WWX Championship!
The lights go out and J. Cole's – Middle Child blares from the arena sound system in the pitch black. After several seconds the lights come back on and Kevin Capone is already standing at the top of the ramp, eyes cold.
Bonn: introducing first, weighing in at 240 pounds from Queens, New York City... KEVIN CAPOOOOONE!!!
Kevin Capone’s face features a 4-finger length beard with sporadic strands of gray, which serves to camouflage the horrific marks on his face, and balding head with connected short dreads at the far back of his dome. His body drenched in pre-match workout sweat, accentuates the machine gunshot looking wounds littered around his body courtesy of the near fatal hit and run incident in 2011.
The 6-inch vertical scar down Capone’s toned abdomen is still visible along with the “Scarred For Life” tattoo right above it through the light amount of hair over his torso. He stretches both arms wearing padded fighter’s gloves and cruises down the ramp in a blacked-out ensemble, black boxing trunks several inches above the knee and short black boots, no socks. He does his ballistic stretches, swinging his arms performing different combinations, before making it to the ring, hopping on the apron in one swoop and pulling on the top ropes with bad intentions. Kevin Capone enters the ring between the middle and top rope and assumes his position in a corner, his eyes never letting up of their laser focus.
('The Ending' by Papa Roach plays throughout the Rogers Center. Rex McAllister arrives on the stage donning traditional black wrestling tights. He gets a rousing ovation and roars from the social distanced crowd in attendance. Rex is wearing a black hoodie with his wrists taped. He puts his hand to his ear as if he were one of the fans.)
Kyla Bonn: Introducing his opponent...From Sea Isle, New Jersey...He weighs in at TWO HUNDRED THIRTY EIGHT POUNDS... He's THE REX MASTER...REX!!!!!!! MCALLISTER!!!!!!
Rex: WHAT TIME IS IT?
Crowd: IT'S SLOBBER KNOCKIN TIME! WOOOOOOO!
(Rex throws a fist straight ahead punching into the air as he then starts making his way toward the ring. He looks upward at the demonic Hell In A Cell structure as he does.)
MH: I'm Mike Hart, the man to my left is Gary Lane. Gary, what a treat this should be for Hall Of Pain. A Hell In A Cell Match, featuring this man Rex McAllister taking on Kevin Capone, and it's for the number one contendership to decide who will be facing the WWX Champion at the next PPV, which is also gonna be decided tonight in the main event! Who do you like in this one?
GL: Well on the eve of the night before All Hallows Eve we've definitely got a classic on our hands, but that's what you already knew. With The Rex Master back in WWX I know we're all set to be taken on a wild ride, and to tell you all who my pick is...it wouldn't be a spoiler alert. I'm going with the man that's ruled at the top twice in the past, whose one step away from doing it again! He's going to show why he deserves to be honored and respected as one of the best that's ever competed, period!
(The shot shows Rex McAllister entering the squared circle and then showing his trademark intensity as he pumps his fists before ascending up the corner turnbuckle and holding his hands up in a victory pose. Then 'The Ending' fades.)
Hart: Both men set to square off for the first time in history! Kevin Capone a former WWX North American Champion and Rex McAllister, a former WWX Champion. Both men fighting tonight for an opportunity to get their shot at the WWX Championship!
Lane: This one could be a classic!
Hart: The Cell is coming down!
The cell seals the superstars in the ring.
Kevin and Rex have a stare off for a moment and then they tie up. A test of strength. Kevin wins as he tosses Rex McAllister into the corner.
Booooo/Cheeer
Hart: a mixed reaction.
Lane: It makes sense, Kevin Capone may have been an up and comer years ago but he was here for such a short period these fans may not really remember him!
Hart: Short time but he made an impact and tonight he may remind these fans who he is!
Rex and Kevin tie up again and once again a test of strength. This time Rex throws Kevin to the ground!
Rex wastes no time as he starts kicking Kevin Capone while he is down. Rex mounts on top of Kevin and starts punching Kevin in the face! Rex then tries for a armbar but Kevin rolls away! But Rex quickly gets back on him driving a few knees to the ribs of Capone! Rex lifts Kevin up and slams him down with a flap jack!
CHEER/Booo
Hart: Rex McAllister is not letting up!!
Rex fires some kicks to the leg of Capone and then tries to lock in a boston crab!
Lane: Trying for that early submission!
Hart: I think a little too early!
Kevin uses his leg strength to break free and push Rex away. Kevin struggles but gets up and Rex charges Kevin Capone, Capone side steps grabbing Rexs head and pulls him back slamming Rex hard to the ground. Kevin takes a second to rest and then positions himself behind Rex. Rex gets up and Kevin goes for an attempted DDT but Rex counters and wrapping Capones arm behind his back and slams him to the matt hard! Rex grabs Capone and hits him with a belly to back suplex.
Rex covers!!!

Capone kicks out with force. Rex mounts with more punches but Kevin flips him and now Capone is driving punches to the ribs and face of Rex. Capone grabs Rex and slams him with a full nelson and then retreats to the corner to catch his breath!
Lane: He should capitalize on this!
Hart: Capone is older and clearly looking to pace himself. May benefit him in the long game.
Lane: Or Rex McAllister is right and Capone can't hack it anymore!
Capone seeing Rex getting up moves to Rex and puts him into a head lock. Rex escapes and pushes Capone into the ropes and goes for a drop kick but Capone grabs the ropes to stop the return and Rex falls short.
Hart: Tonight we will see just how much Kevin Capone can take as he is also scheduled to take part in the Hall of Pain Battle Royal!
Capone then grabs Rex and lifts him for a suplex but Rex reverses it into a suplex of his own! Rex quickly goes for the Rex Lock but Capone fights free.
Lane: Rex's strategy is clear, wear down Capone quick and early!
Rex goes for a triangle lock but again Kevin breaks free, to his feet and a sudden burst of energy he drops McAllister down with a flying forearm smash. Kevin leans against the turnbuckle and as Rex starts to get up Kevin hits hammer punches into his back. Kevin throws him into the ropes and gets him tangled in good. Kevin unloads chops as the ref anf fans count!

Hart: It has been some good back and forth.
Lane: Who will move on to face Syndicate next month?!
Hart: A little too soon to make predictions! Tommy Lipton could still be our Champion by the end of the evening. Or Willie Steen for that matter!
Rex grabs Capone and whips him into the corner following with a running big splash!

Capone locks on an abdominal stretch and he locks it in as Rex lets out an agonizing yell! Capone trying to apply the pressure as Rex tries to reach for the ropes.
Hart: Rex is in trouble!!
Rex grabs the ropes and pulls himself to them. Rex manages to escape and falls through the middle rope to the outside. Capone exits the ring. Capone goes to grab Rex but Rex grabs Capone first and whips him face first into the cell! Rex grabs Capone and suplexs him. Rex hits a knee drop across Capones chest. Rex reaches under the ring and pulls out a table and sets it up.
Lane: Rex McAllister is looking to bring the pain to Kevin Capone.
Rex lifts Capone, Capone quickly reacts and puts Rex into a wrist lock! Capone throws Rex now into the cage and Rex bounces off and is laid out by a clothesline! Capone looks at the table then at Rex. Capone grabs Rex and lifts him up near the table, looking for a Powerbomb
Hart: Both men looking to unleash destruction.
Lane: Rex is punching wildly trying to free himself from this hold!
Rex reaches under the ring and pulls out his trusted metal wrapped Singapore cane. He turns and swings but Capone ducks and rolls away! Rex raises the cane over head to try again but Capone quick kicks Rexs midsection and grabs Rex by the back of his head slamming Rex face first into the steel steps. Capone then grabs the cane with a smile and starts hammering away on Rex. .

*We cut to the backstage area here at the Rogers Centre, where legendary WWX broadcaster and interviewer, Leon Jones, is standing by.*
Jones: Ladies and gentlemen, this is Leon Jones backstage here at Hall of Pain, where I've been granted exclusive access to the locker room of one of the competitors in our World Championship main event later on tonight, the Wrestling God himself, Syndicate. Follow me.
*The camera follows as Leon walks down the backstage hallway, eventually ending up at a door marked "SYNDICATE". He knocks three times.*
Jones: Syndicate, this is Leon Jones, hoping to have a word?
*This provokes no response for a few seconds, causing Leon to knock again.*
Jones: Syndicate, are you there?
*Suddenly, the door swings open to reveal the Wrestling God himself, Syndicate, dressed in a white button-up shirt and khaki pants. He initially looks angry, but upon seeing his dear friend Leon Jones, he immediately smiles.*
Syndicate: Brother Leon, my compatriot, how may I assist you on this holy occasion?
Jones: Syndicate, I was hoping to get your thoughts on your match later tonight against Tommy Lipton and Willie Steen. How are you feeling?
*At this, Syndicate immediately switches from a jovial expression to one of seriousness and focus.*
Syndicate: The job's not done, Brother Leon. The Prophecy has yet to be fulfilled, and my Mission has yet to be completed. But by the end of the night, I promise you...that you, and all members of the congregation will be welcomed into Valhalla with opened arms. Now, please, allow me to continue in my preparations.
Jones: Wait, Syndicate, I have other -
*Syndicate swiftly slams the door shut on the broadcaster, and we can hear a knob being turned, as if the door has been deadlocked. Sighing, Leon turns back to the camera.*
Jones: Back to you, Mike.
COMMERCIAL
Lane: We are back and we now take you backstage for the anticipated Hall of Pain match for the WWX International Championship!
Hart: The rules are simple. First one to escape the hall wins!
Lane: Weapons are scattered everywhere. And don't forget that key that sits inside a pumpkin filled with thumb tacs...
Hart: I honestly think Tommy Lipton enjoys coming up with new ways to make this match even more painful!
Lane: No ref in there and no law and we all will now sit back and all we can do is watch these men tear eachother down viciously until one emerges from the hall to become the New Champion!
Sebastian Young looks concerned... Gary looks ready... James Ranger sighs as he sees the walls laced with barbed wire... Ashton James Riker has a twisted smile on his face as he looks at a bandaged up and war worn Kevin Capone...
AJR strikes first revealing a Taser gun and firing it at Capone who just had a brutal Hell in a Cell match!
Capone drops as James Ranger and Gary T of 420, double spear Seb into the wall of pain! Gary then headbutts James Ranger! Gary grabs James but Ashton swings a chair into Garys back!! Ashton grabs a trash can and drops it hard over Garys head. James Ranger moves towards the pumpkin, Seb runs and drop kicks James Ranger into the cement wall! Seb looks at the pumpkin but AJR throws a baseball bat hitting Seb in the back. Gary grabs AJR and powerbombs him onto the trashcan!
James Ranger hits Seb with a DDT onto a chair! AJR hits Gary with a low blow and then an xfactor! AJR and James tie up the two throw eachother around! AJR then hits a neckbreaker on James Ranger! AJR flips over and sets up a trash can and goes for his finishing 450 move off of it and nails James Ranger!!!
AJR punt kicks Gary and grabs Seb and drags his face along the barbed wire wall slicing him up like Michale Myers in a Halloween movie. AJR grabs the pumpkin and smashes it on the ground. It explodes and thumb tacs are everywhere. AJR sees the key and smiles. Suddenly from behind Kevin Capone grabs AJR and hits a F5 dropping AJR on the tacs!!!! Capone grabs the key... He limps toward the door and unlocks the chains. He looks at the destruction behind him smiles turns to face the door and kicks it wide open and exits the room!!

We now see Bonn standing in the ring.
Bonn: Your winner and the NEW International Champion, KEVIN CAPONE!!!
On the titan tron Capone keeled over holds up the Championship belt!
COMMERCIAL
Xander Adams who we haven't seen in a long time is wearing a refs shirt and stands next to Bonn.
Bonn: This is the Main Event of the Evening! And is for the WWX Championship!!!
The opening guitar refrain of “Crawling in the Dark” by Hoobastank begins to play over the loud speakers. As the bass drops, a set of pyro goes off next to the ramp entrance. Steen steps out onto the ramp wearing a pair of long blue and black wrestling tights, a studded, black leather trench coat, and his trademark sunglasses. He nods his head to the beat of the song as he takes a moment to survey the crowd. He throws his arms out in a crucifix pose as a second set of pyro goes off. He makes his way down to the ring with a determined and focused look on his face.
Bonn: Introducing first .... WILLIE STEEEEN!!!
Steen climbs up onto the apron and leans against the ropes as he looks around the arena taking it all in. He then climbs through the ropes and runs across to the far-side turnbuckle. He climbs up the turnbuckle and poses with his arms stretched out wide.
*The lights fade out in the Rogers Centre as オープニング (Opening) by Shoji Meguro plays through the PA system. As the song's angelic chorus cries out, the following video appears on the massive on-stage video wall: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycIypHIe42c *
Lane: The WRESTLING GOD has arrived at Hall of Pain!
*As "THE WRESTLING GOD" appears in massive white letters on the videoboard, a single spotlight shines down onto the Wrestling God himself, Syndicate. This time, instead of wearing his usual white linen robe, his attire has been swapped with a similar black robe adorned with golden accents on its edges, black denim jeans, and black Nike sneakers. The robe's hood covers much of Syndicate's face, although his wicked smile and some of his shoulder-length blonde hair can still be seen. He extends his arms outward into a crucifix pose as his entrance song reaches a crescendo.*
Bonn: Being accompanied to the ring by "The Oracle", Sophie Irvine...hailing from the City of Angels, weighing 224 pounds, he is the Wrestling God.......SYYYYYNNNNNNNDICATEEEEEEEEE!!!
BOOOOOOOOOO/Cheer
*Syndicate drops his arms and looks behind him towards the entranceway, where The Oracle, Sophie Irvine, has emerged to support her husband. She's dressed in the same black robe as her husband along with a flowing white dress and circular round glasses perched upon her flawless face. The two share a kiss at the top of the entrance ramp before they make their way down to the ring, being given a mixed reception from the Toronto fans.*
Lane: Syndicate has worked for seven long years for this moment, Mike! This is the night that the Wrestling God finally defeats Tommy Lipton, captures the Holy Grail for himself, and takes his rightful place atop the wrestling industry!
Hart: Tommy Lipton, the CEO of the WWX, has certainly set the odds against Syndicate here tonight. Syndicate must not only pin one, but BOTH men tonight in order to win the championship. That's a tough task for any one man, and that's before taking into account the quality of his opponents here at Hall of Pain!
Lane: Mike, these fans here in Toronto are giving Syndicate more of a mixed reception than I anticipated. Tommy Lipton is a damn folk hero in these parts, but many members of this crowd are cheering for his mortal enemy!
Hart: Over the past number of weeks, we've certainly watched Syndicate make his case for why he should be champion; maybe some of the 68,000 fans surrounding us have been swayed by his message!
*Syndicate and Sophie Irvine reach the apron, and the two kiss before the Wrestling God slides into the ring. After a brief staredown with one of his opponents, Willie Steen, and the referee for this match, Xander Adams, Syndicate proceeds to the corner of the ring and performs a crucifix pose, the camera zooming out to show the swath of fans - the "congregation", as he calls it - surrounding him.*
'In the End' by Linkin Park plays on the speakers...
Bonn: From Toronto Ontario weighing in at 245, he is the WWX WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.... TOOOOMMMYYYY LIIIIIIIPTON!!!
CHEEEER/Boooo
Tommy Lipton walks out with the WWX Championship strapped around his waist. He unbuckles it and gets into the ring, he climbs a turnbuckle and raises the title high over his head!
He hands the belt to Xander Adams.
Ding Ding Ding
Lane: Remember the added stipulation for the Wrestling God.
Hart: I'm sure if he is the God he claims to be he can manage.
Tommy, Syndicate and Steen circle the ring sizing eachother up.
Tommy Lipton rushes and clotheslines Willie Steen he then turns and Lipton and Syndicate exchange blows back and fourth...
Syndicate punches Tommy....

Tommy hits a right hook and Syndicate drops to a knee. Tommy looks for the even flow DDT but Steen from behind hits Tommy a few times with forearms. Steen lifts Tommy for a backbreaker but Tommy counters it and hits a short arm clothesline on Steen!

Blair attacks Sophie!
CHEEEER
Lane: What is she doing?! That's Syndicates wife!

Lipton (off-mic): Armada...2018...you told me that my career was over...well, it is 2020... and I am still here and I am the Champ!
You walk around this Federation spitting on people and proclaiming yourself a GOD!?
You have this outrages belief that your actions as of late has deserved you cheers and love from this crowd!
I told you, you would bleed. Wrestling God, my ass!
*Tommy Lipton grabs the Wrestling God by the hair...
Lipton(off mic) Mr. Black and Mr. Blue escort Sophie out of here!
Blair then leaves ringside as Tommy turns to look into the eyes of a God... Tommy is ready to hit his finishing move and end the match, but just as he does...*
Hart: The hell is this??
*...the opening riffs of Metallica's "The Four Horsemen" play through the loudspeakers, and as the song reaches its first verse, a man steps out from the entranceway and runs down to ringside. Wearing a black V-neck t-shirt, blue jeans, and brown boots, the man with long and flowing brown hair rushes towards Mr. Black and Mr. Blue, taking them both out one-by-one with picture-perfect superkicks to send them down to the floor and save Sophie!*
Lane: That...that's COLT IRVINE, Mike!
Hart: THAT'S SYNDICATE'S BROTHER!! WHAT THE HELL IS COLT IRVINE DOING HERE AT HALL OF PAIN?!?
*Lipton looks on from in the ring, amused by these proceedings, as Colt turns his attention over to him. The two have a staredown as Tommy yells down to him.*
Lipton (off-mic): What are you doing here?? You aren't authorized to be here, Colt! Leave or I'll have your ass arrested!
*At this, Colt "The Maverick" Irvine simply smiles, but before he can slide into the ring and fight the CEO of the WWX, Lipton is taken out by a chair-assisted dropkick to his back by Willie Steen!*
Hart: SURF'S UP!!!
Lane: WILLIE STEEN'S GONNA WIN THIS!
*Seizing the momentum for himself, Steen hops up to the top rope, hoping for the 450 Splash to put Lipton away and win the title, but just as he readies himself for the jump, Syndicate seemingly uses all the energy he has left to jump up off the second rope and hit Steen with a springboard Original Syn square in the face, knocking him off the turnbuckle and sending him crashing to the floor!!!!*
Hart: SYNDICATE JUST TOOK OUT STEEN! ALL THREE MEN ARE DOWN!!!
*Syndicate finds himself leaning against the ropes, bloodied to all hell, as his brother, Colt Irvine, walks over.*
Colt: Sydney, this is your time! I can't do it for you, man, you have to get up and pin Tommy!
*This, unfortunately, does not rouse a response in the exhausted Wrestling God, who seems to be fading in-and-out of consciousness. Realizing this, Colt does what he has to do.*
Colt: Syd...you're the |BLEEP|in' Wrestling God, aren't you?
*Hearing his internal persona's name causes Syndicate's eyes to flash open.*
Colt: Go finish your damn Mission.
*As he listens to his brother, Syndicate is incensed by his very presence and looks to slide out of the ring to fight him, but after listening to Colt's words, he realizes what must be done. Pulling himself to his feet, Syndicate staggers over to Lipton...who has been playing possum this whole time, kicking Syndicate in the gut for the CIB!*
Lane: CANADIAN ICE BREAKER!!
*But just like before, Syndicate manages to counter, this time grabbing onto Lipton's head and hitting a German suplex!*
Lane: SYNDICATE COUNTERED THE CIB AGAIN!
*Not wasting a single second, Syndicate pulls Lipton up again, hooks the leg, and hits the No Signal!*

Suddenly from behind Colt is ambushed by Mr. Black and Mr. Blue! Syndicate sees this and goes to help his brother!
Hart: All hell has broken lose!
Mr. Black throws Colt from the ring!
Hart: Here comes Capone! Here comes the number one contender!!!
Capone comes out with a chair to even the odds. Capone takes out both Mr. Black and Mr. Blue!!
Lane: Finally some Justice!!!
Hart: What the heck are you talking about!! This has been a night of ambushes on our CEO and Champion! If Syndicate was a God why does he need Sophie and all this help!?
Lane: To protect him against Lucifer of course!
Hart: Just like Syndicate, you make no sense!
Lipton is down in the corner looking anxiously on wondering what Capone will do next. Syndicate is smiling as he gets to his feet!
Syndicate(offmic) he ran you down Kevin. Can you not see it?! Brother Capone he is evil, he must be destroyed!
Hart: This does not look good for Tommy Lipton....
Capone drops the chair and then suddenly turns and grabs Syndicate and hits him for the F5 and leaves the ring murmuring as Lipton can’t help but shake his head as he laughs and smiles.
Tommy Lipton pushes himself to his feet. He sees Willie Steen is down and outside the ring. Colt is also out of his way. He grabs Syndicate...
Lipton(offmic) your angels failed you!
Tommy lifts him up...
Hart: CANADIAN ICE BREAKER!! This time he gets it!

Tommy takes the title walks to the ropes where he stars out at Kevin Capone who is slow clapping the champ...
[WWXHALLOFPAIN2020]
(The shot pans in on a door inside of a locker room of the Rogers Center. The lighting in the room is bright. Soon the knob on the door is turned and the door opens, in walks Rex McAllister who is shown lugging his bags in. He’s wearing white WWX merchandise t-shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers. He’s got an intense look on his face even with it being a couple hours before his Hell In A Cell match. Once he sets his bags down he sits down on one of the benches and leans forward resting his elbows on his knees. He begins thinking.)
Hall of Pain was finally here. The atmosphere was electric, maybe not as much as it could be but surely more than what many could have anticipated. This was the marquee event that had immortalized so many names that are now regarded in WWX lore, and certainly on this night the case would be the same. With his return in June at Armada, Rex McAllister had slowly but surely been picking up momentum working his way to this moment. His return hasn’t been well received by everyone in the back. Having gained notoriety globally by finding refuge and then success in another company when WWX originally closed its doors, this rubbed the competition the wrong way because they many saw that as a reason to question where his loyalties lied, but in all honesty Rex did not see it that way and neither did the higher brass of the WWX. Had Rex reached the kind of fame and status that he’d always dreamed of? No. He’d exceeded his own expectations from the time he’d broken into the business. Many tend to forget he was originally trained back home in Sea Isle’s neighbor Neptune at the Independent Wrestling Association House of Pain and started as a hardcore wrestler before becoming more fundamently sound to now being considered one of the best technical wrestlers ever.
One could argue that Rex’s journey hasn’t been everything it could be, but that’s likely mostly due to the fact that WWX was still trying to get some feet back under them, moving at a crawl while having to re-learn how to walk again. But he hasn’t complained, made excuses, or had second thoughts about any contributions he’s made toward getting the company back on track again. At Hall of Pain he intended to fully show what this place would be missing without his presence. He along with Syndicate and Tommy Lipton were the biggest reasons why the company was able to keep it’s doors open until they finally closed in late 2018. Many would argue that this place would only go as far as their top talent could take it just the same, but regardless of how it all played out Rex wanted to make sure he did his part and left his mark in a way that only he can on the biggest stage of them all. Keven Capone, his Hall of Pain opponent, was determined to bring his best, but so was Rex. Capone could question Rex’s passion all he wished, but his drive for competing has never died, his confidence in his own abilities has never wavered. Rex’s value to both WWX and the other company he’s worked in for years couldn’t be questioned, and soon enough once he got settled into the new WWX by getting to the top again, then those who question now will understand later. Rex isn’t the kind of competitor to rest on his laurels, and isn’t blinded by success. His success is what has opened other doors in this business and made him the intelligent wrestling mind that he’s well noted as being. Whether his time was now or later, one thing Rex would never let people question is his passion. After this, neither will Kevin Capone.
(The shot pans in closer to Rex. Soon Rex snaps out of his pondering thought mode and finally acknowledges the camera for the first time.)
Rex McAllister: I’m gonna keep this short and sweet this time, because quite frankly I’ve said everything that I’ve needed to say and more as we approach our match tonight, Kevin. I mean, lives and careers are about to change after this, and when things come to a close tonight I’m going to make sure those changes mean something for the better, for myself and this place. I’ve wanted the best for this place from the start, or else I would’ve never wasted my time in coming back. The answers you’re looking for to the questions you have about my commitment will come soon enough, but with so much riding on tonight’s affair that’s all I’m focused on. A 20 foot high steel cage with no way in and no way out? That’s my focus. How am I going to finally put you down. What will it take to get back to the top and lead this company like I know how to do? When we lock up, Kevin, there won’t be any stoppage for you. No chance of taking a breather on the bench because you’re tired, battered, and grizzled body needs it. There won’t be any promises of tomorrow for your career once I’m done putting you through the biggest beating of your life, because you’re right once all the fireworks and pyro shoot through rooftops and the fans have settled in as we keep them on the edge of their seats, we’ll then be getting right down to business. We’ll find out who’s the hungriest. We’ll find out just who wants the biggest piece of the pie for themselves. Nobody takes anything off my table, and those who try barely get to live on telling the story. All that matters to me are results. I defeated the living legend James Ranger to get this opportunity. I’ve defeated the best this place has thrown at me over the years, all who’ve done more and said worse to and about me moreso than yourself. Now if I have to beat the respect out of you, then so be it. You’ve poked the bear one too many times, and now it’s about time you be dealt the consequences. You wanted to see the passionate most hungry side of Rex McAllister at Hall Of Pain inside Hell In A Cell?
(Rex glares into the camera)
Rex McAllister: You better be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.
See you soon.
(The scene fades out and transitions elsewhere.)
youtu.be/fyyrD3ypp7k
'Don't stop the Devil' by Dead Posey blast through the speakers.
The screen transitions showing WWX superstars past and present.
The camera pans throughout the stadium showing the 300 fans placed saftely throughout the first level of the Rogers Center. The stadium is set up like a Greek Temple... The stage itself is slightly raised, and atop it sits six LED-covered pillars along with a triangular roof structure that connects them all (again, similar to the Parthenon in Greece). Behind the pillars sits a massive video wall that, when combined with the pillars, can display any number of graphics.
Pyros explode through the stadium and the camera moves its way to where Gary Lane and Mike Hart are stationed at ring side.
Lane: Welcome to Toronto Ontario folks!!
Hart: We have an exciting night of action ahead of us on our spookiest Pay Per View of the year!
Lane: And our biggest!
Hart: Yes! 3 huge matches at the grandest stage of them!
Lane: Our opening match to determine the NEW International Champion in a Hall of Pain Match type, first created by our current CEO back in 2009!
Hart: This Battle Royal has a few scheduled superstars already set to compete but is OPEN to all!!!
Lane: following that we have a number one contenders match!
Hart: Two WWX superstars, one of the past and one of the present set out to battle for a great opportunity.
Lane: Kevin Capone, a man on the rise back in 2011 until his journey was cut short faces Rex McAllister, a man who has found other success away from WWX during our time shut down.
Hart: These two have a shot to quickly put themselves back on top and it will come down I think to who wants it more!
Lane: And this all takes place in a 20 foot Cage!
Hart: I cannot wait to see Hell in a Cell!!
Lane: Then last but certainly not least, we close off the night with the WWX Championship match!
Hart: Tommy Lipton has been accused by his opponent Syndicate as a man who hasn't earned his keep here in the WWX.
Lane: Tommy Lipton has screwed with a God and tonight he will feel a Gods Wrath!
Hart: I haven't been the biggest Lipton fan but Syndicate has clearly lost his mind!
Lane: Willie Steen joins in to make tonights WWX Championship a triple threat!
Hart: And Xander Adams is the special guest referee!
Lane: Hall of Pain is brought to you by FOCO, get your favorite team on your protective mask and show your true support!
'In the End' by Linkin Park hits the PA
Bonn: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the World Wrestling Xistence Chief Executive Officer and YOUR World Champion, TOMMMYYYYY LIIIIPTOOON!
CHEER/BOOOOOO
Tommy Lipton dressed in a suit and power tie, wearing a flashy white gold watch holding the WWX Championship he walks with confidence down the ramp and he grabs a mic before he gets into the ring.

Well tonight a supposed God will Bleed!
CHEER/Booo
TL: Tonight I wanted to come out here and welcome you all to the Hall of Pain!!
'In the End' plays as Tommy Lipton to a mix reaction heads back up the ramp...
Commercial**
A door is half open and Kevin Capone is seen, in full black track-suit working a sweat, throwing controlled punching combinations towards mitts held by someone.
?: Come on, one more time.
Capone throws a jab, cross, uppercut combination. He stops to go over a sheet with the person not in the shot and Capone notices the cameras catching him and smiles before closing the door.
Hart: What was that about?
Lane: We may find out soon!
COMMERCIAL
Hart: We are back and the first match of the night is to find out who will move forward as our official number one contender for the WWX Championship!
The lights go out and J. Cole's – Middle Child blares from the arena sound system in the pitch black. After several seconds the lights come back on and Kevin Capone is already standing at the top of the ramp, eyes cold.
Bonn: introducing first, weighing in at 240 pounds from Queens, New York City... KEVIN CAPOOOOONE!!!
Kevin Capone’s face features a 4-finger length beard with sporadic strands of gray, which serves to camouflage the horrific marks on his face, and balding head with connected short dreads at the far back of his dome. His body drenched in pre-match workout sweat, accentuates the machine gunshot looking wounds littered around his body courtesy of the near fatal hit and run incident in 2011.
The 6-inch vertical scar down Capone’s toned abdomen is still visible along with the “Scarred For Life” tattoo right above it through the light amount of hair over his torso. He stretches both arms wearing padded fighter’s gloves and cruises down the ramp in a blacked-out ensemble, black boxing trunks several inches above the knee and short black boots, no socks. He does his ballistic stretches, swinging his arms performing different combinations, before making it to the ring, hopping on the apron in one swoop and pulling on the top ropes with bad intentions. Kevin Capone enters the ring between the middle and top rope and assumes his position in a corner, his eyes never letting up of their laser focus.
('The Ending' by Papa Roach plays throughout the Rogers Center. Rex McAllister arrives on the stage donning traditional black wrestling tights. He gets a rousing ovation and roars from the social distanced crowd in attendance. Rex is wearing a black hoodie with his wrists taped. He puts his hand to his ear as if he were one of the fans.)
Kyla Bonn: Introducing his opponent...From Sea Isle, New Jersey...He weighs in at TWO HUNDRED THIRTY EIGHT POUNDS... He's THE REX MASTER...REX!!!!!!! MCALLISTER!!!!!!
Rex: WHAT TIME IS IT?
Crowd: IT'S SLOBBER KNOCKIN TIME! WOOOOOOO!
(Rex throws a fist straight ahead punching into the air as he then starts making his way toward the ring. He looks upward at the demonic Hell In A Cell structure as he does.)
MH: I'm Mike Hart, the man to my left is Gary Lane. Gary, what a treat this should be for Hall Of Pain. A Hell In A Cell Match, featuring this man Rex McAllister taking on Kevin Capone, and it's for the number one contendership to decide who will be facing the WWX Champion at the next PPV, which is also gonna be decided tonight in the main event! Who do you like in this one?
GL: Well on the eve of the night before All Hallows Eve we've definitely got a classic on our hands, but that's what you already knew. With The Rex Master back in WWX I know we're all set to be taken on a wild ride, and to tell you all who my pick is...it wouldn't be a spoiler alert. I'm going with the man that's ruled at the top twice in the past, whose one step away from doing it again! He's going to show why he deserves to be honored and respected as one of the best that's ever competed, period!
(The shot shows Rex McAllister entering the squared circle and then showing his trademark intensity as he pumps his fists before ascending up the corner turnbuckle and holding his hands up in a victory pose. Then 'The Ending' fades.)
Hart: Both men set to square off for the first time in history! Kevin Capone a former WWX North American Champion and Rex McAllister, a former WWX Champion. Both men fighting tonight for an opportunity to get their shot at the WWX Championship!
Lane: This one could be a classic!
Hart: The Cell is coming down!
The cell seals the superstars in the ring.
Kevin and Rex have a stare off for a moment and then they tie up. A test of strength. Kevin wins as he tosses Rex McAllister into the corner.
Booooo/Cheeer
Hart: a mixed reaction.
Lane: It makes sense, Kevin Capone may have been an up and comer years ago but he was here for such a short period these fans may not really remember him!
Hart: Short time but he made an impact and tonight he may remind these fans who he is!
Rex and Kevin tie up again and once again a test of strength. This time Rex throws Kevin to the ground!
Rex wastes no time as he starts kicking Kevin Capone while he is down. Rex mounts on top of Kevin and starts punching Kevin in the face! Rex then tries for a armbar but Kevin rolls away! But Rex quickly gets back on him driving a few knees to the ribs of Capone! Rex lifts Kevin up and slams him down with a flap jack!
CHEER/Booo
Hart: Rex McAllister is not letting up!!
Rex fires some kicks to the leg of Capone and then tries to lock in a boston crab!
Lane: Trying for that early submission!
Hart: I think a little too early!
Kevin uses his leg strength to break free and push Rex away. Kevin struggles but gets up and Rex charges Kevin Capone, Capone side steps grabbing Rexs head and pulls him back slamming Rex hard to the ground. Kevin takes a second to rest and then positions himself behind Rex. Rex gets up and Kevin goes for an attempted DDT but Rex counters and wrapping Capones arm behind his back and slams him to the matt hard! Rex grabs Capone and hits him with a belly to back suplex.
Rex covers!!!
One.....
Two.....
Capone kicks out with force. Rex mounts with more punches but Kevin flips him and now Capone is driving punches to the ribs and face of Rex. Capone grabs Rex and slams him with a full nelson and then retreats to the corner to catch his breath!
Lane: He should capitalize on this!
Hart: Capone is older and clearly looking to pace himself. May benefit him in the long game.
Lane: Or Rex McAllister is right and Capone can't hack it anymore!
Capone seeing Rex getting up moves to Rex and puts him into a head lock. Rex escapes and pushes Capone into the ropes and goes for a drop kick but Capone grabs the ropes to stop the return and Rex falls short.
Hart: Tonight we will see just how much Kevin Capone can take as he is also scheduled to take part in the Hall of Pain Battle Royal!
Capone then grabs Rex and lifts him for a suplex but Rex reverses it into a suplex of his own! Rex quickly goes for the Rex Lock but Capone fights free.

*We cut to the backstage area here at the Rogers Centre, where legendary WWX broadcaster and interviewer, Leon Jones, is standing by.*
Jones: Ladies and gentlemen, this is Leon Jones backstage here at Hall of Pain, where I've been granted exclusive access to the locker room of one of the competitors in our World Championship main event later on tonight, the Wrestling God himself, Syndicate. Follow me.
*The camera follows as Leon walks down the backstage hallway, eventually ending up at a door marked "SYNDICATE". He knocks three times.*
Jones: Syndicate, this is Leon Jones, hoping to have a word?
*This provokes no response for a few seconds, causing Leon to knock again.*
Jones: Syndicate, are you there?
*Suddenly, the door swings open to reveal the Wrestling God himself, Syndicate, dressed in a white button-up shirt and khaki pants. He initially looks angry, but upon seeing his dear friend Leon Jones, he immediately smiles.*
Syndicate: Brother Leon, my compatriot, how may I assist you on this holy occasion?
Jones: Syndicate, I was hoping to get your thoughts on your match later tonight against Tommy Lipton and Willie Steen. How are you feeling?
*At this, Syndicate immediately switches from a jovial expression to one of seriousness and focus.*
Syndicate: The job's not done, Brother Leon. The Prophecy has yet to be fulfilled, and my Mission has yet to be completed. But by the end of the night, I promise you...that you, and all members of the congregation will be welcomed into Valhalla with opened arms. Now, please, allow me to continue in my preparations.
Jones: Wait, Syndicate, I have other -
*Syndicate swiftly slams the door shut on the broadcaster, and we can hear a knob being turned, as if the door has been deadlocked. Sighing, Leon turns back to the camera.*
Jones: Back to you, Mike.
COMMERCIAL
Lane: We are back and we now take you backstage for the anticipated Hall of Pain match for the WWX International Championship!
Hart: The rules are simple. First one to escape the hall wins!
Lane: Weapons are scattered everywhere. And don't forget that key that sits inside a pumpkin filled with thumb tacs...
Hart: I honestly think Tommy Lipton enjoys coming up with new ways to make this match even more painful!
Lane: No ref in there and no law and we all will now sit back and all we can do is watch these men tear eachother down viciously until one emerges from the hall to become the New Champion!
Sebastian Young looks concerned... Gary looks ready... James Ranger sighs as he sees the walls laced with barbed wire... Ashton James Riker has a twisted smile on his face as he looks at a bandaged up and war worn Kevin Capone...
AJR strikes first revealing a Taser gun and firing it at Capone who just had a brutal Hell in a Cell match!

It explodes and thumb tacs are everywhere. AJR sees the key and smiles. Suddenly from behind Kevin Capone grabs AJR and hits a F5 dropping AJR on the tacs!!!! Capone grabs the key...

We now see Bonn standing in the ring.
Bonn: Your winner and the NEW International Champion, KEVIN CAPONE!!!
On the titan tron Capone keeled over holds up the Championship belt!
COMMERCIAL
Xander Adams who we haven't seen in a long time is wearing a refs shirt and stands next to Bonn.
Bonn: This is the Main Event of the Evening! And is for the WWX Championship!!!
The opening guitar refrain of “Crawling in the Dark” by Hoobastank begins to play over the loud speakers. As the bass drops, a set of pyro goes off next to the ramp entrance. Steen steps out onto the ramp wearing a pair of long blue and black wrestling tights, a studded, black leather trench coat, and his trademark sunglasses. He nods his head to the beat of the song as he takes a moment to survey the crowd. He throws his arms out in a crucifix pose as a second set of pyro goes off. He makes his way down to the ring with a determined and focused look on his face.
Bonn: Introducing first .... WILLIE STEEEEN!!!
Steen climbs up onto the apron and leans against the ropes as he looks around the arena taking it all in. He then climbs through the ropes and runs across to the far-side turnbuckle. He climbs up the turnbuckle and poses with his arms stretched out wide.
*The lights fade out in the Rogers Centre as オープニング (Opening) by Shoji Meguro plays through the PA system. As the song's angelic chorus cries out, the following video appears on the massive on-stage video wall: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycIypHIe42c *
Lane: The WRESTLING GOD has arrived at Hall of Pain!
*As "THE WRESTLING GOD" appears in massive white letters on the videoboard, a single spotlight shines down onto the Wrestling God himself, Syndicate. This time, instead of wearing his usual white linen robe, his attire has been swapped with a similar black robe adorned with golden accents on its edges, black denim jeans, and black Nike sneakers. The robe's hood covers much of Syndicate's face, although his wicked smile and some of his shoulder-length blonde hair can still be seen. He extends his arms outward into a crucifix pose as his entrance song reaches a crescendo.*
Bonn: Being accompanied to the ring by "The Oracle", Sophie Irvine...hailing from the City of Angels, weighing 224 pounds, he is the Wrestling God.......SYYYYYNNNNNNNDICATEEEEEEEEE!!!
BOOOOOOOOOO/Cheer
*Syndicate drops his arms and looks behind him towards the entranceway, where The Oracle, Sophie Irvine, has emerged to support her husband. She's dressed in the same black robe as her husband along with a flowing white dress and circular round glasses perched upon her flawless face. The two share a kiss at the top of the entrance ramp before they make their way down to the ring, being given a mixed reception from the Toronto fans.*
Lane: Syndicate has worked for seven long years for this moment, Mike! This is the night that the Wrestling God finally defeats Tommy Lipton, captures the Holy Grail for himself, and takes his rightful place atop the wrestling industry!
Hart: Tommy Lipton, the CEO of the WWX, has certainly set the odds against Syndicate here tonight. Syndicate must not only pin one, but BOTH men tonight in order to win the championship. That's a tough task for any one man, and that's before taking into account the quality of his opponents here at Hall of Pain!
Lane: Mike, these fans here in Toronto are giving Syndicate more of a mixed reception than I anticipated. Tommy Lipton is a damn folk hero in these parts, but many members of this crowd are cheering for his mortal enemy!
Hart: Over the past number of weeks, we've certainly watched Syndicate make his case for why he should be champion; maybe some of the 68,000 fans surrounding us have been swayed by his message!
*Syndicate and Sophie Irvine reach the apron, and the two kiss before the Wrestling God slides into the ring. After a brief staredown with one of his opponents, Willie Steen, and the referee for this match, Xander Adams, Syndicate proceeds to the corner of the ring and performs a crucifix pose, the camera zooming out to show the swath of fans - the "congregation", as he calls it - surrounding him.*
'In the End' by Linkin Park plays on the speakers...
Bonn: From Toronto Ontario weighing in at 245, he is the WWX WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.... TOOOOMMMYYYY LIIIIIIIPTON!!!
CHEEEER/Boooo
Tommy Lipton walks out with the WWX Championship strapped around his waist. He unbuckles it and gets into the ring, he climbs a turnbuckle and raises the title high over his head!

Wearing a black V-neck t-shirt, blue jeans, and brown boots, the man with long and flowing brown hair rushes towards Mr. Black and Mr. Blue, taking them both out one-by-one with picture-perfect superkicks to send them down to the floor and save Sophie!*
Lane: That...that's COLT IRVINE, Mike!
Hart: THAT'S SYNDICATE'S BROTHER!! WHAT THE HELL IS COLT IRVINE DOING HERE AT HALL OF PAIN?!?
*Lipton looks on from in the ring, amused by these proceedings, as Colt turns his attention over to him. The two have a staredown as Tommy yells down to him.*
Lipton (off-mic): What are you doing here?? You aren't authorized to be here, Colt! Leave or I'll have your ass arrested!
*At this, Colt "The Maverick" Irvine simply smiles, but before he can slide into the ring and fight the CEO of the WWX, Lipton is taken out by a chair-assisted dropkick to his back by Willie Steen!*
Hart: SURF'S UP!!!
Lane: WILLIE STEEN'S GONNA WIN THIS!
*Seizing the momentum for himself, Steen hops up to the top rope, hoping for the 450 Splash to put Lipton away and win the title, but just as he readies himself for the jump, Syndicate seemingly uses all the energy he has left to jump up off the second rope and hit Steen with a springboard Original Syn square in the face, knocking him off the turnbuckle and sending him crashing to the floor!!!!*
Hart: SYNDICATE JUST TOOK OUT STEEN! ALL THREE MEN ARE DOWN!!!
*Syndicate finds himself leaning against the ropes, bloodied to all hell, as his brother, Colt Irvine, walks over.*
Colt: Sydney, this is your time! I can't do it for you, man, you have to get up and pin Tommy!
*This, unfortunately, does not rouse a response in the exhausted Wrestling God, who seems to be fading in-and-out of consciousness. Realizing this, Colt does what he has to do.*
Colt: Syd...you're the |BLEEP|in' Wrestling God, aren't you?
*Hearing his internal persona's name causes Syndicate's eyes to flash open.*
Colt: Go finish your damn Mission.
*As he listens to his brother, Syndicate is incensed by his very presence and looks to slide out of the ring to fight him, but after listening to Colt's words, he realizes what must be done. Pulling himself to his feet, Syndicate staggers over to Lipton...who has been playing possum this whole time, kicking Syndicate in the gut for the CIB!*
