Masters: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is a SEMI FINAL match in the 2011 MASTERS OF THE MAT TOURNAMENT!
The crowd roars as the announcement is made... Are You Ready? By In Case Of Fire hits the speakers drawing boo's from the crowd.
Masters: Introducing first, about to make his way to the ring, lead to the ring by Chris Page, he is One Half of the Tag Team Champions, DANTE ANGLAIS!
The lights down as the intro of Are You Ready? By In Case Of Fire begins to build up, the lights die down and three spotlights slowly drift from the bottom of the entrance ramp all the way to the top as the vocals kick in and the arena becomes a blur of red flashing lights. Dante steps out from behind the curtain and stands atop the entrance ramp for a moment or two before CCP walks out behind him. He closes his eyes as he can literally smell the anticipation amongst the fans before he and CCP head down the entrance ramp and towards the ring with an arrogant, yet purposeful, spring in his step. He slowly climbs the ring steps before climbing between the ropes, stepping into the ring while CCP takes his spot in Dante's corner. Dante spins around, looking out at the crowd before ascending the turnbuckle and pointing at himself for a few moments before dropping his arms to his sides, an arrogant smirk upon his face. He jumps down from the turnbuckle and uses the ropes to stretch, eagerly awaiting his opponent...
Masters: And his opponent...
"Empire state of mind" -Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. The crowd boo's insanely.
Masters: About to make his way to the ring, he is representing the Generals of Destruction, and is the WGWF Intercontinental Champion... "BIGG RIGG" JOHN GAMBINO!
The arena lights go off and the entire place goes black. The fans sit in wait, many of them playing with cigarette lighters as they sit in wait. Finally the sound of John Gambino's voice echos throughout the arena...."FEEL THE RAGE!". A chorus of boos can be heard from the crowd, as "Empire state of mind" -Jay-Z and Alicia Keys" begins playing and Multicolored lights flash off and on throughout the arena. John Gambino steps out onto the stage. Clad in his black leather wrestling trunks with an Italian flag emblem on the crotch area and a black leather biker jacket with the NY Giants logo on the back. A black Fedora hat sits atop his head and a pair of silver aviator sunglasses rest upon his face. The WGWF intercontinental championship sits on Rigg's left shoulder. Besides Rigg stands his brother Dominic Gambino, dressed in a pair of faded blue jeans, black work boots, a black wife beater and also sporting a black Fedora and Silver aviator sunglasses. Rigg looks around the crowd, his nose wrinkled up; a look of disgust upon his face. As the song hits the chorus, Bigg Rigg and Dominic both raise their arms into the air; growling. Red pyros shoot up from the stage behind the two men. As the pyros end, the brothers of Bada Bing walk down the ramp, their eyes filled with fury. As they walk down toward the ring, both brothers talk trash to the fans that are seated along the ramp. Finally, once they are at ringside; the brothers climb into opposite sides of the ring. Once inside the ring, Dominic does the nWo point towards Rigg and Rigg does the Triple H taunt; lifting the WGWF Intercontinental championship into the air while growling some more. A chant of "Gambinos suck!" fills the arena, as both Gambino brothers proceed to shout obscenities at the crowd.

MATCH 7:
SINGLES MATCH
MASTERS OF THE MAT FINALS SPOT ON THE LINE
NATHAN LUCAS vs JAMES RAVEN
The camera returns to the ring where we see Donald Masters standing in the center of the ring with a microphone in hand. The crowd settles, awaiting his introduction of the next match.
MASTERS: Ladies and gentlemen, with special approval from Ranma Saotome, I’m proud to announce the competitors in a previously unscheduled match!
The fans begin to mutter in confusion, looking around at each other to see if anyone knows what exactly is happening here. Before anyone can draw their own conclusion however, Masters continues, still with a giant grin on his face.
MASTERS: The following contest is set for one fall, with the winner heading to Toronto, Ontario, Canada to compete in the Master of the Mat Final! Introducing the challenger, he is a former Tag Team and Global Cup Champion… he is Jaaaaames Raaaaven!!!
The crowd explodes as “Bleed it Out” by Linkin Park blasts onto the speakers, a shower of blue and silver sparks raining down on the stage as Raven pops out from behind the black curtain with a grin on his face. He pumps his fist and poses atop the ramp, listening to the fans cheer and chant his name before sprinting down the ramp towards the ring and diving between the ropes. He rolls to his feet in the corner, the fans cheering even louder at the display.
ROTTEN: You’ve got to be kidding me… apparently Raven’s have more lives than cats.
DIAMOND: I don’t think anyone saw this coming, Flash, James Raven has a second shot at headlining in his hometown!
ROTTEN: It’s crap!
DIAMOND: It’s fair! James Raven got screwed against Palmer! We all know it!
James makes his way to his own corner as the music fades off the speakers and Donald Masters introduces his opponent.
MASTERS: And defending his spot in the Master of the Mat final, he is the longest reigning Television Champion of all time, and he has never been pinned or submitted… born and bred right here in Chicago, Illinois! Naaaaathan Lucas!
“Ladies and Gentlemen” by Saliva begins to blare over the sound system, the hometown hero making his way out from behind the curtain with his championship around his waist. He poses for the fans as well, and to no surprise his applause is even more thunderous than Ravens as he makes his way to the ring, slapping hands with his fellow Chicagoans the entire way. Finally, he reaches the steel ring steps and makes his way up, climbing through the ropes and handing his belt over to the referee.
ROTTEN: Nathan has been hoodwinked into putting his spot on the line! Raven tricked him!
DIAMOND: No one tricked anyone, Flash. He knows exactly what he’s getting into with Raven, here.
ROTTEN: I don’t particularly like Lucas, but I absolutely hate Raven… choke him out, champ!
Raven and Lucas come together in the center of the ring, standing nearly nose to nose as Donald Masters steps between them to clarify the agreement.
MASTERS: As of this moment, Nathan Lucas is a finalist for the Master of the Mat… should he win this match, everything will continue as planned and he will face the winner of Dante Anglais and John Gambino. James Raven is currently not in the tournament. Should he win, he will replace Nathan completely. Do you both understand the terms of this challenge?
Nathan and Raven nod their heads in understanding, and without further ado Masters leaves the ring and leaves the referee to call for the bell.
DING! DING! DING!
Nathan sprints immediately out of the corner, booting Raven in the stomach and doubling him over. Lucas hooks his head and flips him backwards with a snap DDT that sends James shooting across the canvas. Both men pop back to their feet, and Lucas rushes forwards once more looking for a big clothesline that Raven is able to duck under. Nathan turns around quickly, but Raven is waiting and connects with a swinging neckbreaker.
DIAMOND: Nice counter by Raven, but can he capitalize?
James rushes to the turnbuckle, leaping with ease to the top rope and diving off with a flying elbow drop, but Nathan has it scouted and quickly rolls out of the way. James rolls on the mat in pain, and Nathan quickly gets on top of Raven and looks to lock in a kimura. James struggles furiously and ultimately gets his arm free from Nathan, using it to hook the champions head and roll him over for a quick pin fall. Nathan kicks furiously, trying to get his shoulders up as the referee slides across the mat to make the count.
ONE!
TW-
Lucas finally squirms out, climbing to his feet as does James. The two men circle each other slowly, finally agreeing to tie up in a test of strength. Lucas gains an advantage and quickly gets Raven into a powerful hammerlock but James is able to dive and roll out of the hold, facing Nathan for only a split second before hitting a back-flip dropkick that sends Nathan bouncing into the ropes. As Nathan rebounds into the center of the ring, James leaps through the air and puts him down with a huge spear!
ROTTEN: The Divebomb! Such a sloppy move…
DIAMOND: That was perfect, Flash. Put down your haterade.
Nathan rolls out under the bottom rope, standing slowly outside of the ring. He tries to call the referee over to his side, and the referee tells James to stand back as he checks on the Television Champion.
ROTTEN: Can you tell what their saying to each other?
DIAMOND: It sounds like Nathan said he’s hurt, but I can’t tell what the referee is saying.
ROTTEN: Hurt? Already? What the hell kind of a pussy is this kid?
DIAMOND: The referee just told Nathan that this match can end now, but Lucas will be ruled the loser and replaced at the pay per view.
ROTTEN: NOOOO!!! Tough it out, Nathan! Don’t let Raven win!
Nathan nods in understanding and backs the referee away from him, clutching his chest and wheezing in agony. The referee calls for the match to continue, and Raven backs up a few steps before sprinting forwards and leaping over the top rope with a suicide dive. Nathan tries to move out of the way, but can’t move fast enough and gets drilled hard, slamming back into the fan barricade. Raven is on his feet surprisingly quickly and lifts Nathan, whipping him under the bottom rope and back into the ring as he follows.
DIAMOND: I think that spear from Raven may have broken a rib or two! Nathan hasn’t let go of his torso since James connected with it!
ROTTEN: MAN UP, KID! Don’t be such a bitch!
Raven winds up, looking for a clothesline from hell that could put this thing away, but Nathan catches it and leaps into the air, wrapping his legs around Ravens head and dragging him to the canvas. His hometown crowd explodes, cheering Nathan on as he sinks in his patented triangle choke! Raven struggles to free himself, but slowly gives up and begins to stand.
DIAMOND: GOOD GOD! Look at the power James Raven has as he lifts Nathan straight up in the air!
Nathan senses the danger he’s in, knowing a slam is imminent and could shatter an already cracked rib. He lets go of Raven, dropping to the mat and landing on his feet, but before he can make another move Raven leaps into the air with a devastating Flight of the Raven!
ROTTEN: NO!!! God damn it!
Nathan slumps lifelessly to the mat as the Chicago fans boo furiously, knowing that their favorite son is finished. Raven dives across the canvas, making the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
DIAMOND: It’s all over! James Raven is the first man to pin Nathan Lucas, and he did it with a pay per view headlining slot on the line!
Raven celebrates in the ring as the fans boo furiously, but Nathan remains motionless on the canvas as the referee checks on him and a paramedic rushes through the ropes from ringside. James’ celebration is cut short as he looks on in concern, and the fan jeers die down as the well-being of their hometown superstar.
DIAMOND: It’s official… Raven is headlining in Toronto, but at the cost of seriously injuring the Television champion.
ROTTEN: Fuck Nathan Lucas… he deserves it.
We cut to commercial.....

The cameras cut backstage yet again, Diamond interrupted at ringside. The door to the men's locker room now creaks open.
Rotten: It appears our perverted camera man is back yet again.
A shadowy silhouette once again looms in the distance near an open locker. The figure reaches into their pocket, removing the balled panties from earlier in the evening.
Rotten: And apparently so is our panty sniffer.
The panties are tossed into the locker and the door is shut. The figure disappears in a hurry but as soon as the coast is clear, the camera man moves inside and makes their way towards the locker. The name upon the locker is now fully in focus.
Diamond: What?
Rotten: No--
Ringside cameras get the startled reactions of many in attendance. Full focus is upon the screen. H. RYAN.
Diamond: Hunter?
Rotten: I don't even--who'd have thought? He's a man after my own heart!
Diamond: A pervert more like it! He's a family man and--this is downright revolting! He should be ashamed--

Masters: Introducing first, about to make his way to the ring, lead to the ring by Chris Page, he is One Half of the Tag Team Champions, DANTE ANGLAIS!
The lights down as the intro of Are You Ready? By In Case Of Fire begins to build up, the lights die down and three spotlights slowly drift from the bottom of the entrance ramp all the way to the top as the vocals kick in and the arena becomes a blur of red flashing lights. Dante steps out from behind the curtain and stands atop the entrance ramp for a moment or two before CCP walks out behind him. He closes his eyes as he can literally smell the anticipation amongst the fans before he and CCP head down the entrance ramp and towards the ring with an arrogant, yet purposeful, spring in his step. He slowly climbs the ring steps before climbing between the ropes, stepping into the ring while CCP takes his spot in Dante's corner. Dante spins around, looking out at the crowd before ascending the turnbuckle and pointing at himself for a few moments before dropping his arms to his sides, an arrogant smirk upon his face. He jumps down from the turnbuckle and uses the ropes to stretch, eagerly awaiting his opponent...
Masters: And his opponent...
"Empire state of mind" -Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. The crowd boo's insanely.
Masters: About to make his way to the ring, he is representing the Generals of Destruction, and is the WGWF Intercontinental Champion... "BIGG RIGG" JOHN GAMBINO!
The arena lights go off and the entire place goes black. The fans sit in wait, many of them playing with cigarette lighters as they sit in wait. Finally the sound of John Gambino's voice echos throughout the arena...."FEEL THE RAGE!". A chorus of boos can be heard from the crowd, as "Empire state of mind" -Jay-Z and Alicia Keys" begins playing and Multicolored lights flash off and on throughout the arena. John Gambino steps out onto the stage. Clad in his black leather wrestling trunks with an Italian flag emblem on the crotch area and a black leather biker jacket with the NY Giants logo on the back. A black Fedora hat sits atop his head and a pair of silver aviator sunglasses rest upon his face. The WGWF intercontinental championship sits on Rigg's left shoulder. Besides Rigg stands his brother Dominic Gambino, dressed in a pair of faded blue jeans, black work boots, a black wife beater and also sporting a black Fedora and Silver aviator sunglasses. Rigg looks around the crowd, his nose wrinkled up; a look of disgust upon his face. As the song hits the chorus, Bigg Rigg and Dominic both raise their arms into the air; growling. Red pyros shoot up from the stage behind the two men. As the pyros end, the brothers of Bada Bing walk down the ramp, their eyes filled with fury. As they walk down toward the ring, both brothers talk trash to the fans that are seated along the ramp. Finally, once they are at ringside; the brothers climb into opposite sides of the ring. Once inside the ring, Dominic does the nWo point towards Rigg and Rigg does the Triple H taunt; lifting the WGWF Intercontinental championship into the air while growling some more. A chant of "Gambinos suck!" fills the arena, as both Gambino brothers proceed to shout obscenities at the crowd.

MATCH 7:
SINGLES MATCH
MASTERS OF THE MAT FINALS SPOT ON THE LINE
NATHAN LUCAS vs JAMES RAVEN
The camera returns to the ring where we see Donald Masters standing in the center of the ring with a microphone in hand. The crowd settles, awaiting his introduction of the next match.
MASTERS: Ladies and gentlemen, with special approval from Ranma Saotome, I’m proud to announce the competitors in a previously unscheduled match!
The fans begin to mutter in confusion, looking around at each other to see if anyone knows what exactly is happening here. Before anyone can draw their own conclusion however, Masters continues, still with a giant grin on his face.
MASTERS: The following contest is set for one fall, with the winner heading to Toronto, Ontario, Canada to compete in the Master of the Mat Final! Introducing the challenger, he is a former Tag Team and Global Cup Champion… he is Jaaaaames Raaaaven!!!
The crowd explodes as “Bleed it Out” by Linkin Park blasts onto the speakers, a shower of blue and silver sparks raining down on the stage as Raven pops out from behind the black curtain with a grin on his face. He pumps his fist and poses atop the ramp, listening to the fans cheer and chant his name before sprinting down the ramp towards the ring and diving between the ropes. He rolls to his feet in the corner, the fans cheering even louder at the display.
ROTTEN: You’ve got to be kidding me… apparently Raven’s have more lives than cats.
DIAMOND: I don’t think anyone saw this coming, Flash, James Raven has a second shot at headlining in his hometown!
ROTTEN: It’s crap!
DIAMOND: It’s fair! James Raven got screwed against Palmer! We all know it!
James makes his way to his own corner as the music fades off the speakers and Donald Masters introduces his opponent.
MASTERS: And defending his spot in the Master of the Mat final, he is the longest reigning Television Champion of all time, and he has never been pinned or submitted… born and bred right here in Chicago, Illinois! Naaaaathan Lucas!
“Ladies and Gentlemen” by Saliva begins to blare over the sound system, the hometown hero making his way out from behind the curtain with his championship around his waist. He poses for the fans as well, and to no surprise his applause is even more thunderous than Ravens as he makes his way to the ring, slapping hands with his fellow Chicagoans the entire way. Finally, he reaches the steel ring steps and makes his way up, climbing through the ropes and handing his belt over to the referee.
ROTTEN: Nathan has been hoodwinked into putting his spot on the line! Raven tricked him!
DIAMOND: No one tricked anyone, Flash. He knows exactly what he’s getting into with Raven, here.
ROTTEN: I don’t particularly like Lucas, but I absolutely hate Raven… choke him out, champ!
Raven and Lucas come together in the center of the ring, standing nearly nose to nose as Donald Masters steps between them to clarify the agreement.
MASTERS: As of this moment, Nathan Lucas is a finalist for the Master of the Mat… should he win this match, everything will continue as planned and he will face the winner of Dante Anglais and John Gambino. James Raven is currently not in the tournament. Should he win, he will replace Nathan completely. Do you both understand the terms of this challenge?
Nathan and Raven nod their heads in understanding, and without further ado Masters leaves the ring and leaves the referee to call for the bell.
DING! DING! DING!
Nathan sprints immediately out of the corner, booting Raven in the stomach and doubling him over. Lucas hooks his head and flips him backwards with a snap DDT that sends James shooting across the canvas. Both men pop back to their feet, and Lucas rushes forwards once more looking for a big clothesline that Raven is able to duck under. Nathan turns around quickly, but Raven is waiting and connects with a swinging neckbreaker.
DIAMOND: Nice counter by Raven, but can he capitalize?
James rushes to the turnbuckle, leaping with ease to the top rope and diving off with a flying elbow drop, but Nathan has it scouted and quickly rolls out of the way. James rolls on the mat in pain, and Nathan quickly gets on top of Raven and looks to lock in a kimura. James struggles furiously and ultimately gets his arm free from Nathan, using it to hook the champions head and roll him over for a quick pin fall. Nathan kicks furiously, trying to get his shoulders up as the referee slides across the mat to make the count.
ONE!
TW-
Lucas finally squirms out, climbing to his feet as does James. The two men circle each other slowly, finally agreeing to tie up in a test of strength. Lucas gains an advantage and quickly gets Raven into a powerful hammerlock but James is able to dive and roll out of the hold, facing Nathan for only a split second before hitting a back-flip dropkick that sends Nathan bouncing into the ropes. As Nathan rebounds into the center of the ring, James leaps through the air and puts him down with a huge spear!
ROTTEN: The Divebomb! Such a sloppy move…
DIAMOND: That was perfect, Flash. Put down your haterade.
Nathan rolls out under the bottom rope, standing slowly outside of the ring. He tries to call the referee over to his side, and the referee tells James to stand back as he checks on the Television Champion.
ROTTEN: Can you tell what their saying to each other?
DIAMOND: It sounds like Nathan said he’s hurt, but I can’t tell what the referee is saying.
ROTTEN: Hurt? Already? What the hell kind of a pussy is this kid?
DIAMOND: The referee just told Nathan that this match can end now, but Lucas will be ruled the loser and replaced at the pay per view.
ROTTEN: NOOOO!!! Tough it out, Nathan! Don’t let Raven win!
Nathan nods in understanding and backs the referee away from him, clutching his chest and wheezing in agony. The referee calls for the match to continue, and Raven backs up a few steps before sprinting forwards and leaping over the top rope with a suicide dive. Nathan tries to move out of the way, but can’t move fast enough and gets drilled hard, slamming back into the fan barricade. Raven is on his feet surprisingly quickly and lifts Nathan, whipping him under the bottom rope and back into the ring as he follows.
DIAMOND: I think that spear from Raven may have broken a rib or two! Nathan hasn’t let go of his torso since James connected with it!
ROTTEN: MAN UP, KID! Don’t be such a bitch!
Raven winds up, looking for a clothesline from hell that could put this thing away, but Nathan catches it and leaps into the air, wrapping his legs around Ravens head and dragging him to the canvas. His hometown crowd explodes, cheering Nathan on as he sinks in his patented triangle choke! Raven struggles to free himself, but slowly gives up and begins to stand.
DIAMOND: GOOD GOD! Look at the power James Raven has as he lifts Nathan straight up in the air!
Nathan senses the danger he’s in, knowing a slam is imminent and could shatter an already cracked rib. He lets go of Raven, dropping to the mat and landing on his feet, but before he can make another move Raven leaps into the air with a devastating Flight of the Raven!
ROTTEN: NO!!! God damn it!
Nathan slumps lifelessly to the mat as the Chicago fans boo furiously, knowing that their favorite son is finished. Raven dives across the canvas, making the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
DIAMOND: It’s all over! James Raven is the first man to pin Nathan Lucas, and he did it with a pay per view headlining slot on the line!
Raven celebrates in the ring as the fans boo furiously, but Nathan remains motionless on the canvas as the referee checks on him and a paramedic rushes through the ropes from ringside. James’ celebration is cut short as he looks on in concern, and the fan jeers die down as the well-being of their hometown superstar.
DIAMOND: It’s official… Raven is headlining in Toronto, but at the cost of seriously injuring the Television champion.
ROTTEN: Fuck Nathan Lucas… he deserves it.
We cut to commercial.....
