Extreme Extravaganza 2024 Night 1

1. Augusta D'Antagoné & RADBOT vs BiteSize Bros (Asher & Coby) vs Napoleon Collins III & Zeke Colton Spence vs The Natural Ones (Anson Orlandelli & Russ Lehman)
You want an exciting, fast paced opener with tons of high spots, rapid tags, creative double team moves, and near falls getting broken up at the last moment? I sure hope so because that's what this is. Naturally (lol geddit) The Natural Ones are the dominant duo here, forcing the other three teams to react to them throughout much of the match. But they all get to showcase what they're about - Asher and Coby their fearlessness, Zeke and Napoleon their fighting spirit, and RADBOT and Augusta their deviousness. Zeke and NC3 are eager to resume their battle with BiteSize Bros which ended inconclusively last time thanks to 420 B.C. rudely winning, and they have runs where they're the only teams involved, with lightning quick switches and counters betraying how well they known one another. Nonetheless it seems like that inconclusivity is about to repeat when Russ pins RADBOT with a Super Dragon Boom Infinity; Anson spots Zeke about to break it up and blasts him with a dropsault, but misses Coby until it's too late, allowing the backyarder to fly in and knock Russ down! A few minutes later it's Anson's turn to fly in and break it up after Napoleon plants Coby with a fisherman buster... but the three is counted before he collides into them!
Winners via pinfall: Napoleon Collins III & Zeke Colton Spence

Augusta and RADBOT don't hang around; she complains about having yet more fine tuning to do before RADBOT is the ultimate combat machine as she drags him backstage. The other three teams shake hands in the ring - except for Anson, who just sulkily tags Collins and Spence's hands for the briefest moment before rolling out. His partner is a better sport, getting between the victors and raising both their arms, while Coby and Asher do likewise from either side and point to their training buddies.

Crell and Stevie recap that this next match came about when Nikki offered Serenity the chance to get her mind off Phreak and Ligaya Fontaine's issues for a while. They also explain why Serenity's out on her own - she requested her two closest friends both stay in the back for this one. Nikki, however, is being seconded by her student Elle Santos.

2. Nikki Song vs Serenity
The two women shake hands after the bell, then go into a cautious knuckle lock. They mat wrestle for a little bit, but when it becomes clear to Serenity that Nikki is much favoured on the mat, she changes gears and takes to the air. Nikki's more than happy to do likewise, but it's relatively more even here - though the Songbird is still in control overall, Serenity confounds her at times and gets a couple of big near falls. The underdog fights her best match to date in GEW, doing her best to upset her trainer, and she drags this out much longer than most would have expected before Nikki finally puts this one away with a huracanrana driver followed up with a double jump moonsault.
Winner via pinfall: Nikki Song

Afterwards, Serenity goes for a handshake again, but Nikki brings her in for a hug then tells her she's proud of her. It's clear on Song's face how much she values helping her friends, and Serenity seems to be in a better mood than we've seen her in for months, despite losing the match.

3. Kismet vs Snow Queen VN
This opens with Snow wanting to know why Kismet low blowed her on the last show. Kismet shrugs and points out it won him the match. From there they both charge in and it's on, Snow trying to use her striking, Kismet his acrobatics, in a match that barely ever slows down from bell to bell. Kismet's determined to get the win in his first PPV singles match and he pulls out all the stops, not just athletically but with his use of an eye rake into an inside cradle at one point, for a long two count. Later he tries to kick Queen in the vagina again, but this time she catches his leg! Kismet panics, but only for a moment before she yanks him into a Đông Sơn Drum and then unleashes the Snowstorm combo for a near fall of her own! After he regains control again (helped by a sneaky throat jab) he goes up top and dives down in a 450 splash... but Snow dodges it and replies with the Negative Polarity Impulse to pin him and get some vengeance!
Winner via pinfall: Snow Queen VN

Carly Mitchell announces that it's time for a special showcase. Please welcome Joey Classic and, making their in-ring GEW debut, his Classic Academy! A rock cover of the trio section from Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 plays as Joey emerges onstage leading three students, all in Classic Academy branded tracksuits. At the front is a man with a huge bright grin, proudly waving a flag bearing the school's logo. Behind him is a young woman who's beaming too, and so full of energy that she seems a moment away from exploding. Bringing up the rear is a huge guy chugging a protein shake who's nowhere near as happy or as energetic as the other two. Frankly, he looks like he only signed up so he could do some violence. Joey leads them all into the ring. The front guy's still waving the flag enthusiastically until Joey tells him to knock it off.

Joey informs the audience that wrestlers these days are too soft and nobody knows how to work a damn match anymore. These pretty boys and OnlyGrams girls nowadays are more concerned with showing off their gymnastics than winning fights! Someone has to raise the next generation of grapplers right, and if Wildfire and Battlegrounds and Caledoobian and Imperial Whatever ain't up to the task, then it's all on Classic Academy! It's time for he and his students to showcase their skills, and what better way than by demonstrating some of the great moves of yesteryear which these modern idiots just don't appreciate? Moves such as the double axe handle, a.k.a. the Polish hammer, a.k.a. - when it was used by "Ramblin' Man" Al Manbrother - the Fishtail Chain Lump Blaster! Let's get some poor sap out here so he can show us what he means! After a moment we're joined by a gentleman Carly identifies as "Superstar" Blake Storm.

4. Joey Classic vs Blake Storm
There's a quick lockup and the two men start grappling. Blake gets a couple of decent shots in but Joey never looks like he's in significant danger, and a little shy of the two minute mark he ducks a lariat and smashes Blake with the hammer on the return for the win.
Winner via pinfall: Joey Classic

Joey then calls the smiling student into the ring and introduces him as Stephen Winner. He tells Stephen to do what he just did, and calls for another opponent... a huge cheer goes up for Skillet's Back From The Dead and Cole McGrath steps out! He's a bit taped up following his beatdown at the hands of the masked attackers last time, definitely not quite moving at full speed, but he bravely heads to the ring and shakes Stephen's hand. He tries to shake Joey's too, but Joey blows him off and gestures for Stephen to beat Cole with the hammer, just like he himself just did...

5. Cole McGrath vs Stephen Winner
...Stephen's hot off the blocks, but Cole manages to sidestep him. The young Classic Academy student can't be faulted on his eagerness. He's determined to do his mentor proud and hit the axe handle. Sadly for him he lasts about thirty seconds before Cole catches him with a brainbuster to pick up the victory.
Winner via pinfall: Cole McGrath

"No, no, no!" yells Joey as he steps back through the ropes, "Wrong, wrong, wrong!" He pulls Stephen to his feet but he's glowering at him disappointedly. "What was that, kid? Do a lap while I show off the next move." Stephen is disappointed too, but he obeys his trainer and sets off jogging around the ring while Joey presents the next move: the running forearm smash. Some dorks these days do it flying off the top rope, but if a good grounded running version was good enough for Hurley "The Hurlbat" Batchman then it's good enough for anyone! He calls fo the next opponent, and is presented with "Showtime" Drake Lee.

6. Joey Classic vs Drake Lee
As Joey and Drake lock up, the commentators explain that Drake is the tag team partner of Blake Storm, and he'll be looking to last longer than... oh, nevermind, Joey shoots Drake into the ropes about a minute in, and blasts him with the forearm shot on the way back to win.
Winner via pinfall: Joey Classic

After standing up again and booting Drake out under the bottom rope, Joey brings the energetic woman in and presents her to the world as Tiff Hammerstone. He instructs her to show off the running forearm just as he did, and asks for an opponent... more cheers greet Super Furry Animals' Hangin' With Howard Marks! Like Cole, Matty Graves is still a little banged up from the attack they suffered last time, but he still vaults over the top rope and nods to Tiff.

7. Matty Graves vs Tiff Hammerstone
Tiff bounces up and down excitedly before sprinting towards Matty with her striking arm leading... straight into a superkick that knocks her flat. Matty shrugs apologetically before peeling her up for a spinning fisherman buster, and that's that.
Winner via pinfall: Matty Graves

Joey hadn't even had time to drop down from the apron. He slaps the top rope angrily and asks Tiff what the hell she was doing out there, before instructing her to take a lap. It's fine, though. It's fine. Because the last move he wants to showcase tonight is the greatest of all. The absolute pinnacle of grappling excellence, as mastered all the way back in '69 by "Big Heck" Woody Stocksville. The military press! Let's get one more opponent out here. Let's go. After a moment, Good Charlotte's All Black plays and out strides the hulking slab of masked meat known as Draven Von Darkstein!

8. Joey Classic vs Draven Von Darkstein
Is Joey really going to be able to get the almost three hundred pound Draven off his feet!? Oh - yes, after a boot to the gut he manages it relatively easily, and with just a little wobble of his arms, benches the giant into the air. He holds it for a second or two before letting him fall face-first into the canvas. If anything, turning Draven over the pin takes longer than the rest of the match.
Winner via pinfall: Joey Classic

There's one more student to go - the huge jock. Joey brings him in and slaps him on the shoulder, telling the world that this is "Big" Bill Bumstead, and it's his turn to make Joey proud. Let's get one more opponent out here... a swell of noise meets Ash's Kung Fu! Tony Harrison takes his sweet time getting to the ring, as he's enjoying playing to the fans. Once he finally steps over the ropes Bill is pretty annoyed, and he rushes in right away.

9. Bill Bumstead vs Tony Harrison
Bill controls the opening sequence, and he actually gets Tony up in the military press! But before he can slam him back down, Tony slides from his grasp, landing on his feet behind the student, and he locks in the Thames Valley Vice II. Bill taps out in pretty short order.
Winner via submission: Tony Harrison

Joey's pinching the bridge of his nose as he re-enters the ring. He looks like he's about to blow his lid at Bill, but manages to calm himself down before he does. "Not your night, kid. Not your night. I think what you all need is to fun a few laps of the parking lot and then hit the showers, and call that a day." Tiff and Stephen both begin to apologise for their losses but Joey cuts them off and tells them to not say another word. Bill says nothing. He just goes back to his protein drink. Joey frogmarches them all to the back, saying they'll run this back next time and be ready for it this time, while Cole, Matty and Tony pose in the ring together for a moment.

Once they're gone it's time for the next match. Snow Queen VN comes out with Takeo Shima, but he asks her to go to the back - he wants to do this on his own. She wishes him luck and complies.

10. Alex Chambers vs Takeo Shima
Alex charges in for a knee strike as soon as the bell rings - but gets blasted in the gut as Takeo swings a bat into him! Chambers looks impressed (and agonised), and he rolls out - though perhaps not so much for a time out as to tool up, grabbing a chair. Takeo doesn't give him the chance to do any more than that, though, as he flies out in a suicide dive! They fight around ringside, utilising weapons, suplexing each other on the floor, and driving each other into the apron. Takeo's no deathmatcher, but his frustration with Alex is boiling over and that's enough to keep him in this against the more experienced and, let's be honest, unhinged man. But, eventually, Alex seizes control and he gets Takeo in a brainbuster, spiking his head against the apron on the way down. After rolling Shima back into the ring, he drags some violent accessories out from under the ring: a box of light tubes, a couple of tables, a chain, and a pane of glass. The tables get left at ringside but everything else goes between the ropes, and Alex uses the light tubes to bust Takeo open. However even with blood pouring down his face Takeo refuses to quit! When Alex tries to choke him out with the chain from behind, he backpedals and instead drives his tormentor through the glass sheet! Calling to end this, he rolls out and sets up both tables in a double stack, then pulles Alex to the top turnbuckles and prepares to suplex him through them. Alex sandbags and pushes Takeo, who sways precariously... but comes back with a huracanrana to spike Chambers' head into the glass strewn canvas! Alex has bloody pinpricks on his scalp now as Takeo pushes him flat, but the veteran still kicks out. A few minutes later, they're running the ropes trying to smack each other with more weapons. Alex hooks his arms over the top to cease it, and it takes Takeo a moment to realise. When he redirects and charges at Alex, his target responds with a back body drop that sends Shima crashing through the two tables! Alex dives into him with an elbow drop and pins, but to Alex's astonishment, Takeo kicks out! Alex throws Takeo back in the ring and goes for the chain again, but Takeo greets him with a defiant scream and another light tube. DDT into the shards, and now Alex is crimson masked too. Takeo is relentless, the fans cheering him on as he whups Alex's ass, culminating in him trapping Alex in a chain-assisted katahajime... and Alex tapping out!
Winner via submission: Takeo Shima

The fans are cheering the house down for Takeo finally getting his big win, and on the big stage to boot. The man himself can scarcely believe it, but once it sinks in he celebrates wildly. Rubbing his throat, Alex slowly stands back up, and Takeo braces expecting an attack. But instead Alex simply offers a handshake. Takeo stares in disbelief at the man's audacity and just walks away, leaving Alex hanging.

11. Ivan Grant & Velvet Grey vs Oliver Creed & Zanatos
Both teams are a little tentative - Ivan and Velvet because the aunt has decided she needs to take the nephew under her wing and help him get his shit together again in the wake of Sah'ta Thor's passing, though they have rather different approaches to competition; Oliver and Zanatos because the former has seemingly been trying to recruit the latter into The Bethel, but Zanatos seems uncertain about Creed's motivations. That makes it one of the slower and cagier matches of the evening, compounded by the fact that Zanatos has ties to Velvet and Ivan, and he's clearly conflicted about Oliver's apparent desire to make a sacrifice of them. Oliver and Velvet are both very comfortable breaking the rules, especially against one another, but Ivan and Zanatos are hesitant to follow suit when they're facing each other, so the two big lads largely stick to grappling and heavy slams. Nonetheless, when Oliver catches Ivan in Purgatory Lost and the youngster tries to get a boot on the bottom rope, Zanatos kicks it off again before the ref can see it, and a moment later after Creed crushes Grant with The Crucible, he cuts off Grey's breakup attempt with a Striking Bullet.
Winners via pinfall: Oliver Creed & Zanatos

Creed claps Zanatos on the back and reiterates that he'd love to have a man like him at his side full time. Meanwhile, Velvet reminds him his home has always been in the Empire and he should be fighting with them, not against them. Zanatos looks mightily ambivalent about all this as well as his own actions just now, and leaves on his own.

The camera catches up with Alex Chambers storming down a corridor backstage. He's pissed, not only from losing his match but also likely through being slighted by Takeo after the fact. He comes to a dead stop when he sees Myles Taylor leaning against the wall at the end with his arms folded, laughing. "What?" Alex snaps, using a towel and wiping the drying blood from his face.

"What?" Myles repeats, almost astonished. "What the hell was that? Takeo Shima, never won a damn match in his life, against YOU, who claims to be a deathmatch expert... in your own environment, and you LOSE?"

Alex snarls, looks as if he's going to go for Myles, but surprisingly doesn't. He just shakes his head and then grins slightly. "That match wasn't about me winning. It was a lesson," he says, but his tone betrays him slightly. "What's important is what comes next."

Myles rolls his eyes and laughs again. "What comes next is me embarrassing Kai tomorrow and showing you how you manhandle a loser."

With that he peels away from the wall and walks away.

12. Scott Simmonds vs Shane Tallin
Before and after the opening bell, the two former GEW World Champions just stare down, inches apart, eyes boring into one another, the hell they put each other through one year ago clearly fresh on their minds. Despite this, Shane extends a hand to Scott, believe it or not, but Scott angrily slaps it aside, visibly offended that Shane would offer such a thing. The crowd murmurs in anticipation... and explodes when they finally start smashing forearms into one another's jaws! It's furiously aggressive, but the entire match actually stays inside the ring, which might be surprising considering how bloodsoaked and chaotic their last one-on-one bout was. The closest they come to fighting on the outside happens when Scott drives Shane's spine into the apron with a hangman's neckbreaker, and then again when Tallin gets his revenge a couple of minutes later with a backdrop suplex, also into the proverbial hardest part of the ring. But don't think that means this one isn't violent and disrespectful. The brutal strikes to the face and ring-rattling slams they punish one another with are testament to that. Scott at one point can be heard growling that he finally reached the top of the mountain and Shane immediately took it all from him. This rage helps him push through Shane's offence, kicking out of both a Second Shattering and Rending Reality, and hit huge offence of his own including an inverted falcon arrow and a TKO, but Shane kicks out of both of them too! Finally, Shane comes back from a striking exchange with the Calamity Combo to knock Simmonds flat, and then he goes up top. But while he's still getting his balance, Scott leaps up and clubs him in the back of the head, his anger no doubt helping to drive him. He goes up too and they fight on the top turnbuckle, trading strikes once again. A pair of huge headbutts win that exchange for Scott and he hauls Shane over his shoulders for a top rope Lights Out Driver... but Shane pushes free and shoves Scott down to the canvas! He flies off and lands the Calamitous Fall, driving both knees into Scott's head from all the way up there, and that gets him the pin at last!
Winner via pinfall: Shane Tallin

After the match, Shane extends that hand to Scott one more time... Scott stares at it, chewing his lip angrily, but accepts and finally shakes Shane's hand! As he heads back up the entrance, it looks like a weight has been removed from his shoulders. Even in defeat, it seems that one more round of violence against Shane was the catharsis he needed to finally move on from the fall of the old GEW. As for Shane, he too looks like that match has at long last buried some outstanding emotions, and he actually smiles a pretty genuine smile as he waves to the fans.

13. GEW Phoenix Championship: Matt Kail vs Troy Gafgen [c]
In contrast to the last match this one has no problem starting with a handshake, but then the champion and challenger immediately enter into a tie-up. They aggressively jockey foor control for a bit, with the taller and stronger Troy coming out on top, but Matt swings round behind him into a rear waistlock before Troy can do serious damage, and he tries to grapple him to the canvas. They go back and forth exchanging holds, each looking for pins, holds or suplexes as and when they seem available. Stevie is pretty impressed with how Matt is going hold for hold with a larger and much more experienced competitor, but Crell also notes that Troy is holding his own on the mat against someone who's recognised as a technical specialist. In fact, it's Troy who forces Matt to expend the first rope break, with a Boston crab. Kail doesn't let it rattle him and he's quick to go on the offensive once they re-engage, to the point that he takes firm control of the match, landing numerous big suplexes on Gafgen. We seem about to have a new champion when he hits a Thank You, Pain and drags Troy up for the Kaileidoscope... Troy manages to shove him away before he can set the armtrap brainbuster up fully. Matt knocks Troy down with a kick then comes in with a second Thank You, Pain - and gets caught with a schoolboy counter! Troy pushes in deep and snatches the three count!
Winner via pinfall: Troy Gafgen

Matt can't believe it. One small tactical error was enough to lose a match he thought he had in the bag. But the look on Troy's face shows that he knows he easily could have lost his title here tonight. He helps Matt back up and shakes his hand again, and though he says nothing, the look he gives him makes it clear that he considers Matt to have already arrived as a major talent.

Shooter Load are out first for the main event, but their serious game faces turn to angry scowls as the lights go down and the video screen starts up. A pre-recorded vignette brings us Lance Murphy and Casey Black on a sound stage. They are holding their GEW Tag Team Championship belts, and are both bandaged and bruised after their last encounter with their challengers.

"For the better part of the last two decades we have been one of the premier tag teams in all of professional wrestling," begins Lance, looking more serious than we are used to. "From here to Japan, in Europe, Australia, hell we could have gone to the fucking Moon, it doesn't fucking matter. Wherever we go, we are the best. We have collected belts like boxes of unassembled miniatures. We have won awards, we have made money and we have diddled some of the finest looking women on the planet while we were at it."

Casey nods approvingly at these sentimonies as Lance continues, "But success comes at a price, and for us, our success has come with the price of a pair of nipple-headed double douches who have tried to piggyback off our success. Shooter Load have travelled many of the same roads as us, and every chance they've had, they have tried to use us to get ahead because they aren't as handsome, or as talented, and can't get themselves over without cheap shots and vending machines-"

Lance seethes as Casey gently massages his shoulders to try and calm him down, "It's OK Lance, everybody knows that we are the best tag team in professional wrestling today. Everybody knows that we would have won the World Grand Prix this year if it wasn't for those donkeybrained idiots. Everybody knows that Shooter Load couldn't even lace our boots. Hell, I'm surprised they can lace their own boots, they probably use velcro or something-"

"Casey."

"-maybe like a zip or-"

"Case."

"-some sort of slip on-"

"CASEY!"

"Oh, right, not important. What is important is reiterating the fact that we are clearly superior in every way, and at Extreme Extravaganza we will show you just how much better we are than you. We will hit you, so hard, make you say 'oh my lord,' because we are a team that you can't touch!"

Inside the arena the lights go down and on the screen appear the words MC Hammer Inc as U Can't Touch This begins to play! The stage is decorated like a proper 90s slam party and a DJ encourages swathes of women to dance to the music.

Lance Murphy and Casey Black appear from behind the curtain in phat parachute pants and break into an overly complicated choreographed dance routine with everyone else on the stage based on the original 1990 film clip. Casey has made it halfway down the ramp and is so engrossed in his own performance he doesn't even notice Shaun Irvine and Phil Hunter attacking Lance behind him! They throw him through the DJ set, killing the music and leaving him to continue dancing thusly:



His twinkle-toed escapades are finally brought to a halt when he too is hit from behind, and before the match even makes it into the ring both teams are brawling wildly.

14. GEW Global Tag Team Championship: MC Inc (Casey Black & Lance Murphy) [c] vs Shooter Load (Phil Hunter & Shaun Irvine)
Since this is a chaos rules match anyway, the referee just calls for the bell and lets the two teams get on with it. 'It' being a whole load of violence, as they fight down the entrance, all over ringside, through the stands, back to ringside, into the ring, back out of the ring again. Boos shower Shooter Load as they beat up MC Inc thanks to their sneak attack, but said boos turn to cheers as MC Inc turn it around. Casey whips Shaun into the ring steps while Lance snake eyes Phil across a guardrail, which gives the champions a moment to double high five and climb up on the apron, encouraging the fans to cheer even more. Phil sprints back over and lariats the back of Casey's ankles, basically chop blocking him, and Casey crashes down to the floor. But before Hunter can capitalise, Murphy leaps off and hits him with You Fucking Dropkick! Shaun comes back and uppercuts Lance, but while he grabs at him, Casey blindsides Irvine then drops him onto the floor with a How's It Taste, Motherfucker?. Casey heads into the crowd to get a couple of steel chairs, and the front row are happy to oblige. They love to see MC Inc using them to assault Shooter Load, and cheer the champions on as they brawl not only back into the stands but all the way up the bleachers!

Eventually the teams wind up in the concession area, with camera people desperately trying to follow them and fans pouring around to watch the chaos up close. Shooter Load send Lance through a merch table with a double powerbomb, but a couple of minutes later, MC Inc choke Shooter Load with T-shirts (one for BiteSize Bros, one for Oliver Creed) and then load Phil onto a dolly and use it to fling him into Shaun. Shaun at one point flies off a vending machine to hit Irvine Intervention on Casey, but as he's pinning him, Lance kicks him in the head and throws him skull-first into the very same vending machine, hard enough to send a few cans spilling out of its slot. Lance grabs one, measures Shaun for a moment, and then smashes it across his head, bursting it and leaving a gouge in Irvine's scalp! But before he can do much more damage Phil opens another can in his eyes to blind him for a moment - long enough to drive him headfirst into the hard floor with a DDT. Shooter Load take over again... until Casey grabs a glass bottle of hot sauce and introduces it the hard way to the wound on Shaun's head! Shaun screams and desperately tries to find some water to cleanse the burning chili out of the cut, but Casey won't let him, dragging him down the corridor and slamming him into just about every hard surface he can find.

By the time they finally re-enter the auditorium, all four men are busted open. MC Inc try to throw Phil down the bleacher steps, but he manages to reverse and throw Lance down instead! The big man goes tumbling arse over tit and Phil tries to chase after him, but Casey grabs him by the waistband and they slug one another with punches. Instead, Shaun slithers down the stairs after Lance, and starts punishing him using the guardrail - grinding his bloody face against it, driving him spine-first into it, even wedging his leg between the struts and kicking at it. Casey and Phil join them not long after and within the space of about 60 seconds, everyone gets flung headfirst into the ringpost. With the roar of the crowd and the lust for revenge both driving them on, MC Inc send Shaun back into the fans, spilling upside down through row after row of chairs, then turn their attention to Phil, hitting all their biggest signature double-teams on him. After that they bury him under a mountain of chairs and railings, plus the ring steps for good measure! Shaun staggers back onto the scene, flying into Lance and punching him in the back of the neck, but Casey stops him doing any further damage with a Fade To Black. That's not enough to satisfy MC Inc, though. Lance gets Shaun up in an electric chair, and Casey leaps off the top turnbuckle in a Black Attack II to send Irvine through Crell and Stevie's desk! Both of the Mad Cunts collapse on top of Shaun's carcass, and the three is counted!
Winners via pinfall: MC Inc

The fans go ballistic at both the outcome and the carnage they just witnessed. Lance and Casey slowly pull themselves back to their feet, leaning on one another for support. Tony Harrison soon joins them and he helps them both back into the ring where he raises their arms to big cheers. Once they've recovered enough, Lance and Casey mount opposite turnbuckles to pose in celebration with their title belts while fans throw streamers into the ring, and on that image the broadcast fades.
