{Prologue}
The XWA World Heavyweight Championship. The most coveted prize in the entire company. Having it automatically places you at the top of the food chain – the top of the ladder. It has been passed along all the greats, and now it finds itself in the clutches of the self-proclaimed “Greatest of All Time” Razor Xtreme. The man who claims he will be the longest reigning XWA World Heavyweight Champion of all time and cement his legacy as the greatest competitor to ever set foot in an XWA ring (or any ring for that matter.) In his way stands the ever-resilient Greg Samuels. The young man who has set his sights on that title since he stepped foot in the ring 5 years ago. Though he has been unsuccessful in his journey thus far, tonight might be the night that he finally ends his 5-year-long journey and claims his title. Between both of them lies tons of hard steel in the shape of ladders. The only way to win this match is the climb one of the many ladders and retrieve the championship gold. Will Greg Samuel rise to the occasion and ascend the ladder of dreams, or will Razor Xtreme both metaphorically and literally ascend the ladder of greatness and retain? Only one of these men can walk out of Summer Sanitarium as the XWA World Heavyweight Champion.

DING! DING! DING!

Both men have been introduced. Both men have made their entrances. In Razor's corner stands none other than the devious Eric Goodman, who has a huge chuckle of worry-free on his face. Greg Samuel, on the other hand, is accompanied by no one but his own will. The ring is surrounded by various ladders and high above the ring stands the glorious golden chalice, the world heavyweight championship. Both men prepare to do war as the referee moves out of the way and lets them go at it. Both men dart at each other from their respective corners and go at it. This isn't a technical match, these guys just wanna hurt each other as much as they can. They both begin to flail their right fists as they swing for defenses with some hard rights. They lock their left arms and shoot with their right. Fist after fist after fist, from both men. Greg's specialty is more technical and aerial, so he isn't as used to brawling as the technical brawler, Razor Xtreme. Because of this, he is out-punched, as the world champ begins to swing away with some hard rights to the face, and Greg can't take the fists anymore. However, the “Maine Attraction” decides to use his specialty as he catches one of Razor's right arms and flings him over for a quick hip toss! This catches the world champ off guard as he slides out of the ring under the bottom rope. He stands near Eric Goodman and begins to angrily look inside the ring, as Greg is on his two feet and he's yelling “Come on! Bring it!” Razor taunts a re-entry into the ring, but Greg quickly charges at him, causing Razor to slide back out. Razor then turns and sees a ladder a few feet away from him. Greg takes notice of this and quickly darts to the opposite side of the ring to grab a ladder as well. Razor ditches the ladder and slides back into the ring right before Greg slides his ladder in and is blinded by adrenaline. Greg slides back into the ring right into an early Big Boot by the Rated Y2X competitor! The challenger hits the mat as Razor quickly picks the ladder up off the ground and begins to set it up.

David Michaels: “Well, that took them almost no time. Ladders, already? These guys are serious.”

Ted Cedar: “Both of them want that coveted title, and they will do anything to end this match quickly, as they each know what the other is capable of.”

Razor sets the ladder up in the middle of the ring and then notices that Greg is starting to get up onto his knees. The champ darts over to the challenger, only to get a stiff right shoulder directly to the ribs. Razor backs off a bit as Samuel makes it up to his feet. He quickly shoots a right hand, blasting Razor directly in the face. Razor backs into the corner and Greg quickly begins thrusting away with his shoulder, right into the sternum of the world champ. Greg takes a breath before he puts his head down under and his all of his body to raise the champ up onto the top turnbuckle. Xtreme begins to make his way to his feet on the top turnbuckle, but the feisty challenger is right on top of it as he quickly climbs to the top as well. He swings not one, not two, but three right hands, as he tries to keep Razor out of it. He then hooks Razor in a facelock as he tries to get him up and over for a Superplex. The weight difference between the two men – a whopping ~20 pounds – forces Greg to have to use a lot of his strength. However, Razor manages to take advantage of this as he quickly leaps over Greg's head and lands behind him, right inside the ring, on two feet. Meanwhile, Greg stands with his back to him and Xtreme quickly charges at him before he can perform an aerial maneuver and drops him by pushing both of his legs forward, forcing Samuel to land on his ass on the top rope – with his back facing the ring. Razor quickly begins clubbing away, not wanting to give the challenger any opportunity to breath. The champ then tucks his head under Samuel's legs and then lifts him up onto his head for an electric chair. The challenger is resilient, so he begins to drop some quick and hard rights to the forehead of Razor to keep him dazed. The champ stumbles over to the set-up ladder in the middle of the ring and Greg quickly uses his leverage point on Razor's shoulders to jump up onto the ladder by grabbing on with both hands as he begins to climb up. He's almost at the top by the time he starts climbing, and Razor panics.

David Michaels: “Genius move by the quirky little man. He's got the guts to win this whole thing, Cedar.”

Ted Cedar: “But Razor is sneaky and more experienced, plus Greg has never been at the top of the ladder – figuratively of course, Razor has that advantage too.”

The champ quickly holds on to the right leg of “Mr. Match of the Night” as he tries to tug him down into the ring. However, Greg will not give up – as he begins to flail his leg until Razor is pulled in and then kicked straight back by the challenger. Xtreme is forced to the side as Greg begins to climb up the ladder once more. Razor quickly jumps to the ropes and then bounces forward before using the momentum of the run to push the ladder all the way over! The challenger tries to brace himself for the fall, and ends up landing in a very awkward position on the top rope, possibly tearing off his own right leg! Greg doesn't fall onto the mat in pain, but instead shows his fighting spirit by getting up onto his feet and limping over. Big mistake, as the vicious Razor Xtreme already has his eyes set. Razor quickly wraps his left arm around Samuels' neck and his right arm around Samuels' leg before spinning at an insane speed and driving the challenger into the mat with a snap powerslam. This is purely to keep him down, as Razor didn't forget about that damaged right leg. The sneaky champion quickly pulls the leaning ladder onto the ground and closes it all the way as Greg tries to scurry into the corner for protection, knowing he is in a bad position. Razor lays the ladder on the ground in the middle of the ring and then gets a wicked smile on his face. He then walks over to the competitor, who is trying to use the turnbuckle to get to his feet, but as soon as he does, he's floored by a running forearm by the champ. Xtreme knows he is in a great position right now, and he's ready to take full advantage of it. He takes a moment to catch his breath and then leans over to pull Samuel by the leg towards the center of the ring. He opens the ladder just a little bit, and then tucks the challengers' right leg into the rungs. With an evil smile on his face, he begins to left the top part of the ladder.

Ted Cedar: “Oh for the love of GOD. This is not going to be good for Greg. This is just flat out dangerous! He could be seriously hurt!”

David Michaels: “I've felt that kind of pain in my career. Not pretty, I will tell you that right now.”

Greg's leg is then brutally sandwiched between the ladder as the merciless champ begins to quickly flail the top half of the ladder up and down viciously, smashing Greg's leg under it every time. The challenger yelps in pain, but the sounds of his agony don't cause any sort of sympathy within the evil man known as Razor Xtreme. He continues to drive the steel down into his leg. A look of support and happiness comes from the outside via an equally evil man in Eric Goodman. The champ finally smashes down one more time and decides to give the poor challenger a break. He gets off him and then pulls the ladder away from him as he then picks the ladder up and sets it up once again, taking his time. He is confident that Greg will stay down this time, and doesn't bother to rush to get the job done. He begins to ascend the ladder slowly, climbing to the top to retrieve what is rightfully his. He is about halfway up when the challenger realizes he needs to fight the pain and get up, or else he's done. He grabs on to the nearby ropes and with every ounce of resistance in his body, he gets up to his feet. The challenger stands on one leg, using his hurt right leg only for support and balance when he needs it. He begins to limp over to the ladder as Razor is almost all the way up. Greg realizes he isn't going to race up there in time, so instead he opts to take the same approach that his opponent did as he begins to push the ladder over. However, the conniving Razor realizes that his opponent is up – much to his own surprise, and he quickly leaps off at the last second. He lands a bit roughly, possibly hurting his back, but it mustn't be that bad, as he manages to quickly charge back towards the challenger. He quickly leaps up as both men run towards each other and he quickly drives the bottom of his foot into Samuels' face, executing a picture-perfect calf kick. All the momentum Greg thought he had going for him is quickly rid of, as he is once again under the mercy of the violent Razor Xtreme.

David Michaels: “This kid can not catch a break, can he?”

Ted Cedar: “Razor is a sneaky and smart opponent. Greg's gonna have to try his best if he doesn't want to get defeated. There is a reason Razor Xtreme is the world champion.”

Razor shakes his head, realizing that Greg has yet to learn his lesson. He quickly slides out under the bottom rope and exits the ring, grabbing a hold of Samuels' right leg as he does. He quickly drags him toward him and then knots his legs around the steel post. He quickly grabs the right leg, and much to Greg's horror, he slams it into the ring post relentlessly! Once more, and then again. That leg is being shown absolutely no sympathy by the champ. Greg can do nothing but take the uncompromising pain being dealt to him. Razor finally gives in and decides to give him a short rest, as he then turns his attention to one of the other ladders outside the ring. He quickly walks over to it and then folds it before making sure it's sturdy and folded. He lifts it up and then places one part of it on the ring apron and the other part on the barricade, creating a bridge with the ladder. Only malicious intentions are in the mind of Razor Xtreme, as he comes up with several different ways to possibly permanently damage his foe. Greg is tending to his leg as the champ is right on his ass again. Xtreme quickly drags him out from under the ropes and then leans him against the ring apron before continuing his vicious onslaught of right hands to Samuels' face. Greg is defenseless as he tucks his head down in near unconsciousness. Razor smirks as Goodman begins to approach the two men outside the ring. The champ eyes a ladder that is still standing outside the ring and he quickly tries to use it to his advantage. He grabs a hold of Greg's right arm and the back of his head before he launches him full speed towards the standing ladder. Razor drops his guard for one moment, expecting Samuel to be crushed against the ladder, but unbeknownst to him, the challenger still has some acrobat in him despite his hurt leg, and he displays it efficiently as he leaps up onto the middle of the ladder, using primarily his left left for balance. Razor darts towards him, but Greg leaps backwards, scissoring his legs around and shifting his weight in mid-air as he catches the champion right across the face with his signature 12th Maine! Otherwise known as the springboard roundhouse kick, except he does it off the ladder, giving it slightly more leverage. Razor falls to the mat as the fans cheer for the first time in a very long time in this match. However, unfortunately for Greg, he also felt the brunt of that impact, as his hurt leg was the one that connected with Razor's face.

Ted Cedar: “and now the tides may have just turned. Greg looks to be downed as well, however, as he hit Razor with his damaged leg!”

David Michaels: “Whether or not the tides are turned, this will definitely buy Greg some time to recover a little. That's never a bad thing!”

The champ hits the ground outside as he tends to his face, the challenger is in a similar position except he tends to his leg. Goodman darts over to his client, and quickly begins to check on him. Razor took a hard kick to the face, he is hurting. Greg slowly begins to work his way up to his feet by using the steel steps as a guide. He works his way up to his feet as Razor is still slowly getting up. The challenger walks over to his opponent and he quickly scares off the deviant Eric Goodman, forcing him to run all the way to the other side of the ring. Greg picks his opponent off the ground and then drives a rough forearm to the face of the Los Angeles native. He drives one rough forearm, followed by another, and another. At first the forearms are slow, but then he starts going all out with a blitz of rough and unforgiving forearms, trying to release all his frustrations on the champ, and paying him back for the damage to his leg. Razor is near unconscious by the time Samuel has unloaded all of his fury. The fans are cheering on the assault, as Greg stops the forearms and focuses on something else – the bridge ladder. He realizes that he won't keep Razor down just yet, so he pulls the champ right back up onto his feet and then turns his back against the bridged ladder before grabbing a hold of Razor's arm and shoving him backwards before pulling him right back in and raising him high above his head, making sure to keep his left leg grounded the most for balance as he throws Razor face-first onto the bridged-ladder with his signature move, the “Match Maker” - otherwise known as the flapjack! The champ lands roughly on the bridged ladder as he rolls onto it and lays on it like a bed, trying his best to keep his composure as he tightens his gut and puts pressure on it with his hands to ease the pain. Greg shakes off the pain in his leg – realizing that this may be his only chance to have full control of this match.

Ted Cedar: “Greg Samuel showing why he is the number one contender! Just when it seemed like Razor had this match in full control, Samuel shows up to prove him otherwise!”

David Michaels: “Now all he's gotta do is keep the momentum going, Ted. He can't let it get to him!”

Greg Samuel stands on both legs outside the ring, he eyes Razor as the champ lies across the ladder, taking the shape of the bridge. He realizes that he has a perfect shot at his special move, and he has to take it now. He slides into the ring, fighting against all the pain in his right leg – being the warrior and fighting competitor that he is – and he limps over to the turnbuckle, using the ropes as an assistance to aid him in his groggy walk over. Razor is lifeless on the ladder-bridge and Samuel begins to quickly ascend the ropes – much to the fans' delight, as they cheer very loudly for this action. The challenger makes his way to the top as he stands high above everyone. He takes a leap of faith as he attempts to execute his Shooting Star Press finisher! But what he forgot about was the wild card of this match – the manager of the evil world champ! Eric Goodman darts into place and pulls his client off the ladder at the last second, forcing Greg to flat line right into the unforgiving bridged-ladder stomach-first, possibly taking him out of this match for good! Razor rolls off to the side as the fans quickly begin to boo loudly for this. Goodman tries to slap Razor back to life – literally, as he begins to give Xtreme a few love taps courtesy of his right hand to the cheek, but the champ is barely conscious after taking two consecutive signature moves right to the face, both of them aided by a ladder. Greg is still in the rubble formerly known as the ladder-bridge, which is now more of a ladder-V as the whole thing bent in half off the impact – including Greg. Razor begins to slowly wake up with the help of Eric Goodman, and Samuel is barely in this at all. The champ makes his way up to his feet by holding on to Goodman – who is desperately trying to get him up. Once he's up, Xtreme chuckles for the first time in several minutes, and the fans did not miss that evil grin at all, as they begin to boo him once again.

Ted Cedar: “That twisted son of a bitch! That was underhandedness at its worst! Why is Eric Goodman even out here?”

David Michaels: “Goodman just ruined what could have been Greg's move to victory, and he may very well have cost him the whole damn thing!”

Razor's forehead has a noticeable line of blood – likely courtesy of the flapjack onto the ladder – and he doesn't even seem to mind it, he's been through far worse. Razor takes a few moments to regroup, and as soon as he's back into it, he completely forgets about the task at hand and instead decides to go punish the man that almost flattened him for good. He drags Greg out of the rubble and then walks over to the ring apron and pulls the flap up before dragging yet another ladder into the mix. But this time, instead of opening it, he turns Greg onto his back and then presses the ladder right across him; coincidentally, like a bridge. He then takes a hold of both of the Maine native's legs and then tucks them under his arms before sitting right on top of the ladder, unexpectedly executing his trusty old finisher – the Xtreme Walls! But this time, it's with a touch of ladder. Even though the fans hate him, they have to cheer for this move, as even the youngest of children would mark out for the Xtreme Walls! Greg moans in absolute agony. He has felt many pains in his life, but very very few could ever come even remotely close to the pain he is experiencing now. Imagine the worst pain you've ever felt, now multiply that times a hundred. Well, Greg doesn't have to imagine, as not only is his back being sandwiched against the ladder, but his hurt right leg is being wrenched violently back, causing all sorts of hurt for the fighting competitor. Razor nearly lets out a laugh – reminiscence of the time when he was cooky and laughed a lot – at the sound of Greg screaming for dear life. Razor would love nothing more than to see his challenger tap out right now, even though it wouldn't mean anything, just for the message of embarrassment. Much to his disappointment, he learns that this challenger will never give up.

David Michaels: “That must hurt like no other pain, Cedar. I've been in this very hold and I know how much damage it does, and now it has a ladder to add on to the damage.”

Ted Cedar: “As if that damn move wasn't vicious enough as is.”

Samuel turns his groans of pain into yells of encouragement, almost in a snap. Greg fights past the damage in his leg. He fights past the sheer amount of agony all around his near broken body. And with a burst of power that came almost out of pure instinct, he thrusts both legs forward, sending the champ flying forward ridiculously fast, and face-first right into one of the standing ladders outside the ring. Razor is unfortunate enough to go directly face-first into the steel, busting up that little trickle even more, and causing a lot of blood to begin gushing out. He drops onto his side as Samuel tries his best to regroup, having used a great amount of energy in that thrust. Goodman panics and charges to his client, who at this point, just wants to lie down for a bit – as the pain is getting to him too. The challenger tries his best to fight against the pain, but it's much easier said than done. He manages to distance himself from the ladder that has done a lot of damage to him and he instead opts to roll by the steel steps and try to make his way to his feet. Razor is conscious – partly thanks to his demented manager – as he checks for blood on his face and finds exactly that. He tries to work his way up to his feet – once again, using Eric Goodman as a stable point. Once he is up on his feet, he slides into the ring and then lies down inside the ring for a little more. Greg is just about on his feet as well, as he grabs on to the commentators table. The challenger is up to his feet, and the first thing he notices is that demented manager that has cost him so much in this match. He grabs a hold of the unsuspecting Eric Goodman by the collar and pulls him near. A look of fright comes on the twisted little man's face as Greg begins to shout at him. Meanwhile, inside the ring, Razor completely ignores the shouts of his manager for help as he begins to ascend the ladder. Samuel quickly pushes Eric back, and as soon as he has enough space, he quickly throws his hurt right leg forward and catches Goodman as hard as he can with a Superkick – and that just about knocks the evil man right out. He then shakes off the ringing in his leg and refocuses his attention on his opponent.

Ted Cedar: “He shouldn't take his attention off his opponent, you should never do that – especially against someone like Razor Xtreme!”

David Michaels: “But I don't mind seeing Goodman knocked down a peg. That headbutt was just fan service to me!”

Ted Cedar: “You also have to see the psychopathic side of the world champ – not giving any form of a crap that his own manager was being beaten outside the ring, as long as he managed to get the upper hand!”

Greg rolls back into the ring and notices Razor slowly trying to ascend the ladder and he will not have it. He quickly clubs Razor – who is about halfway up, and then pulls him down by the tights, forcing him to drop down off the ladder and into the ring. The ladder is pushed forward almost as if by accident, leaving a big gap in the middle of the ring as the ladder stands a bit more near the ropes. Razor lands on his feet inside the ring and Greg quickly drives a big forearm into the face of Razor. The fans cheer. Razor fights back as he throws a big right hand. The fans boo. Samuel with a forearm. Cheer. Xtreme with a fist. Boo. The fight goes back and forth, until Razor quickly tries to sneak-attack Greg with his dangerous signature Roundhouse Kick, but Greg ducks under it and ends up behind Razor, he then tries to hit HIS signature move, the Sling Blade, but as soon as he jumps up to try it, Razor ducks under it and Greg is forced to spin in the air. As soon as Samuel lands on his feet, Razor catches him by tucking his left leg under Greg's arm and swinging his right leg wildly, decking the challenger in the face with a signature Step-Up Enzuguiri! “The Maine Attraction” falls right down and lands on his side before rolling onto his back, his body parallel to the ropes. The champ sees this as a perfect opening for one of his favorite signature moves... the Xtremesault! Razor quickly charges towards the ropes and leaps up, pressing both of his feet against the middle rope and then using the rebound to bounce backwards into a back-flip as he attempts his signature. However, Greg manages to somehow find the energy to roll out of the way, and Razor lands right on his belly, rolling onto his knees as he does. Samuel quickly throws a big left knee and catches Razor right on the forehead. Razor lands on his back as Samuel makes sure to not use his hurt right leg but instead his left. Greg then sees HIS opening for one of HIS favorite signature moves... the Lionsault! Almost as if by eerie coincidence, Greg is open to hit this! But he wants to add insult to injury. Instead of running to the ropes, he charges at the ladder which is off to the side. He jumps up, trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg as he does, and then does a full backflip, executing a perfect Lionsault, and nearly flattening the Rated Y2X Champion right in the middle of the ring!

David Michaels: “Finally that bastard knows how much that move hurts!”

Ted Cedar: “...and I imagine it hurt a lot more, since Greg jumped a bit higher up, courtesy of having a higher point to land – the ladder!”

For the first time in his career, Razor experiences the pain of being on the receiving end of a Lionsault, as the fans begin to chant “THIS IS AWESOME!” followed by claps. Razor turns on his side, holding on to his ribs in pure agony. Greg – on the other hand – isn't completely out of it and realizes that this is his chance to finally get the win. He drags the ladder towards the center of the ring once again and then begins to slowly climb up. The sharp pain in his leg prevents him from climbing too fast, but he is getting there, and Razor doesn't seem to be moving at all. The fans are going berserk with cheers, as this might just be it... Greg is near the top! But just as quick as those cheers came, the boos do too. Samuel wonders why the loving crowd is booing him... and then he realizes that they aren't. They're booing the monster walking down the ramp – Maddox Paine! Razor's ace of spades. The final trick up his sleeve. The Titan. Maddox works his way down the ramp, but instead of charging into the ring and digging into easy prey, he tends to his boss and friend first. He quickly drags Razor out of the ring, waking him up. He asks Razor if he's ok and checks on him to make sure he really is. The champ begins to recover as Greg looks on in confusion. He then raises a single arm and puts his hand on the gold, feeling it for the first time. He can grab it here and now... but then what? It's over just like that? A fighting competitor like Greg won't have that. He has one more trick up HIS sleeve. And he intends to use it, especially since this trick can neutralize both Razor and Maddox in one blow. Greg lets go of the title as he makes a choice he may just come to regret. He instead decides to go one more step up on the ladder, as he stands high on top of the ladder, facing two enemies that are wayyyy below him. Maddox is too busy tending to Razor to notice, but Razor notices. Greg doesn't give him time to react... he begins to jump.

Ted Cedar: “WHAT IS HE DOING? NO WAY! GRAB THE DAMN TITLE, GREG! DON'T DO THIS!”

David Michaels: “He's a fighter, Ted! This is what he does! He won't win this unless his opponent is out and he has proven he is truly the bigger man, let's just hope he doesn't come to regret this – OH MY GOD!”

Greg leaps forward and while he is in mid-air, he does a full backflip as he flies forward, setting up his perfect Shooting Star Press! He lands hard and this time he actually hits someone – just not the man he wanted to hit! Razor drags Maddox in the way and jumps out at the last second, forcing Maddox to take the full impact of the blow while he took none! Greg lands a bit roughly, but Maddox is almost like a pillow to him that cushions the blow and prevents him from taking nearly as much damage as he would if he missed. He moans in pain but then gets up to his feet, not having taken enough damage to ground him for good – but that might change in a bit. As soon as he gets up, he is whacked across the skull by Razor's right leg as Xtreme hits a beautifully ugly signature Roundhouse Kick! But before Greg can fall, Razor uses the groggy Greg to his advantage. He quickly pulls him in before he hits the floor and raises him high onto his shoulders before launching him overhead and driving a knee into Greg's championship aspirations... and his face, with a Razor's Edge – or as everyone else knows it by, the Go To Sleep! Greg instantly blacks out, the knee hits his face and takes him out for good. The fans are going berserk with boos as the broken champion chuckles and rolls into the ring. Unlike the challenger, he doesn't care about being the better man, he just wants to win! Razor looks up at the title high above his head as he begins to ascend to the top of the ladder – both figuratively and literally as he looks to reclaim his position as THE BEST. With every step he takes, he climbs higher and higher into his heaven. He is at the top. He looks around one more time at the faces of the hopeless fans that despise him so before he reaches up and unhooks HIS World Heavyweight Championship. It's over.

DING! DING! DING!

The bells ring, not only in everyone's heads, but throughout the arena. The match is over, and Razor has once again managed to find a way to hold on to that title.

Jennifer Light: “The winner of this match and STILL the XWA World Heavyweight Champion... Razor XTREEEEEME!”

[“Zero Visibility” by Rise Against plays throughout the arena]

Ted Cedar: “I can't believe what I just saw, Michaels. Greg had it in his hands! He had the damn title in his hands! All he had to do was pull it off and he would've been champion right now!”

David Michaels: “Well, he did what he felt he had to do... and he paid the price for it. Razor is once again getting closer to his position as the greatest competitor in XWA history. Unfortunately for all of us.”

Razor grabs the title with both hands as he sits high above the world. Everyone is below him, this is how he normally feels but now he actually gets to see himself high above these worthless insects. HE is the best. HE is the one with that title in his hands. HE is the one who is at the top. Fireworks begin to explode all around the arena, as the whole place gets drowned in boos. “We are not brave. We are not wise. We stand at the ends of the longest lines.” his theme booms throughout the arena as he continues to raise his title amidst the confetti falling on his head. Maddox rolls onto his side, and even though he is just about completely out of it, he shows the pride in his boss with a smile on his pained face. Goodman is on two knees as he uses the steel steps for balance, and he is beyond ecstatic for his client.

Ted Cedar: “Well, let's see how long Razor can truly stay at the top – as he has to go through one of the 6 men who will be in that dangerous Elimination Chamber!”

David Michaels: “Yeah, and I guarantee you that anyone who is tough enough to get through that chamber is going to be a damn powerful force to beat!”

Ted Cedar: “I have a feeling that Razor thinks he can take on just about anybody right about now!”

The fireworks continue to explode all around the place as Razor begins to shout “BEST IN THE WORLD” amidst the massive amounts of boos. Greg is finally awake outside the ring, having woken up by his own disappointment, and it isn't helped as he looks up and sees that evil, twisted, demented man holding the title high above him. Just a few seconds ago, he was high above that same man, and now only a little bit later he stands under him, defeated. He pounds his head against the floor outside as he can do nothing but hear the mocking theme music of the Rated Y2X champion.

Ted Cedar: “Well, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us for this great show, join us next time on Vendetta 114!”

David Michaels: “Don't you dare miss it! After what we've just witnessed tonight, it's going to be a great show!”

The show ends with one last visual of Razor sitting on top of the world. Title in his hands. As the show fades to black.
