UWE Intercontinental Championship
Match 8: James J vs Evelyn ‘Scylla’ LaRivierre w/ The X special guest referee

Match Writer: The X

Coming back from a promotional sponsor commercial, we're at ringside with Hugh and Bobby.

Hugh: Well what a night it's been.

Bobby: And it's not over yet Hugh.  This next match, well I've been waiting for all night!

Hugh: As have I Bobby, but this isn't a match that just came about lightly.  A lot has been building between Scylla and the Intercontinental Champion, James J. 

Bobby: Let's not forget the wildcard here tonight, the third man in the ring, the special referee The X.

Hugh: Anything surely can, and most likely will happen here tonight, but first let's take a look back at how this match came to a head here tonight.

We cut to a promotional video package, highlighting the history over the last month or so between James J, Scylla, and The X.  The video is set with "Gives You Hell" by the All American Rejects as background music.

"I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
And you're still probably working
At a nine to five pace
I wonder how bad that tastes"

A video clip plays showing the first onset of tensions between The X and Scylla, with Scylla lashing out at X for pursuing Kris Destiny and the **** Title.

"When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell"

Another clip shows X winning the **** Title.  That is followed up closely by a clip showing Scylla being approached by Scott Reave and The New Dawn.

"Now where's your picket fence love
And where's that shiny car
And did it ever get you far
You never seemed so tense love
I've never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are"

A clip plays showing Scylla's betrayal of GreenBean and The X, as she reveals herself as the person that let the New Dawn in.

"And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying"

A closeup of X's face as he hears the news of Scylla joining New Dawn.  This clip is followed up by cutting back to the scene where Scylla joined the New Dawn, and GreenBean offering Scylla a shot at the IC title, if she can beat James J in a non-title match.

"When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell"

The closing moments of that match are shown, as Scylla nails James J with the Atonement, earning her shot at the title.  A slowed down clip of her holding up the Intercontinental Title up after the match is shown as well.

"Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Where'd it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on"

A clip plays showing Scott Reave being taken out by Riddick Andrews and the beating that followed, as Scylla waited at the ramp and seemed to want to go help.

"And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying"

A closeup shot of X's face again, as he slams his bat repeatedly into Scott Reave.

"When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell"

Voice of Hugh "It's all come down to this, Scylla against James J, with the Intercontinental Championship on the line".  We then see a shot of James J, watching tapes of Scylla.  We hear the voice of James J, "And X better not get in the way, or we'll just have to pay him a visit!"

"Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
You can't look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well"

As the rest of the song plays, various images of Scylla and James J flash across the screen.

"When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well
Hope it gives you hell

When you see my face
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you hear this song and you sing along but you never tell
Then you're the fool, I'm just as well
Hope it gives you hell

When you hear this song
I hope that it will give you hell

You can sing along
I hope that it puts you through hell"

The video package closes with the Fight Night: Redemption poster that promotes James J versus Scylla, and at the very end The X flickers into the picture in a referee's shirt.

Hugh: Well there you have it, just a slight glimpse into the very storied past that these three share over a short time.

Bobby: The time for talking has come and gone.  It's time for action.

Hugh: Let's go up to Schumacher for the formal introductions and get this blockbuster match started!

The lights dim in the arena and three bell tolls sound.  A spotlight comes on in the ring, illuminating Schumacher.

Schumacher: Ladies and gentelmen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for THE ULTIMATE WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP!  Introducing first, he is the special guest referee assigned to this contest...one-half of the UWE Tag Team Champions, and the current UWE **** Champion...THE X!

The lights go out in the arena.  Red strobe lights begin to flicker at the stage area, building in frequency and intensity until there is a huge pyro explosion on stage, as X IS COMING FOR YOU by DMX plays loudly over the PA system.  After a moment, The X steps onto the stage.  He is dressed in his full ring gear, minus the black trenchcoat.  His black t-shirt has been replaced by a referee shirt.  His face is painted crow-style, with traditional black and white colors.  There is little to no emotion shown on his face as he makes his way down the ramp and slides under the bottom rope into the ring.  It can be noted though, that he is wearing his **** Championship belt, but not the UWE Tag Team title.  X unstraps the belt and folds it in a corner as his music fades.  The lights come back to normal, but only for a moment.

The lights flicker frantically before going completely out. It is silent for a moment, until words echo throughout the arena:

"SINNERS....They're all sinners....they're all going to the painful, everlasting, FIREY HELL."

"Them Bones" by Alice in Chains blasts through the speakers, and a shower of sparks fly from underneath the Tron as Scylla walks into view. She turns her head slowly from left to right, waiting patiently for her little sister and manager, Cassy, to come out behind her.

Both women make their way down the ramp, Cassy smiling innocently, and Scylla staring intently at ring. Almost unknown to Scylla, Adam Deming and Alan Marrow have also made their way out, following Scylla and Cassy.  The redhead doesn't bother using the stairs; she climbs underneath the bottom rope and then onto the mat. Her little sister stays out of the ring and walks next to the bell holder. Scylla turns and sees the New Dawn, almost at the same moment that Schumacher makes his announcement.

Schumacher: And making her way to the ring, accompanied by Cassandra and The New Dawn, she is the challenger, Evelyn "Scylla" LaRivierre!

Scylla shakes her head in a disapproving manner and goes over to the ropes.  She leans over and starts to say something to Deming and Marrow, but is cut off.  X has reached under the ring apron and produced his black baseball bat and slings it over his shoulder as he walks over to where The New Dawn are outside the ring.  He shoots a cold glance up at Scylla and then takes the bat and points it at Deming and Marrow.

The X: GET OUT OF HERE!  You're not going to just walk out here and do as you all see fit!  I'm not going to allow this match to be tainted or swayed in your direction!  GET OUT OF HERE!

Bobby: What is X doing?  They were just out here to watch!

Hugh: He doesn't want any excuses in this one.  I have a feeling that no one is going to get an unfair advantage.

Bobby: C'mon Hugh!  X is biased, don't be coy!  He's going to call this one in favor of James J!  Scylla needs some help out here.

Hugh: I doubt that whole-heartedly partner.  The day that Scylla NEEDS someone else out here, is the day this company goes under and wrestling implodes upon itself until it is no more.

Bobby: What the hell are you talking about Hugh?

Hugh: I'm just saying she doesn't need help.

Bobby: There, now wasn't that easier?  Imploding on itself...what next Hugh?

Adam Deming and Alan Marrow have headed the warnings from X, helped by the icy glare from Scylla and have exited ring-side.  As X puts the bat down in the same corner as the **** Title, the lights again dim.

The opening of Hell by Disturbed begins to play over the PA.

*ahh ahh*

The song continues to play over the PA as some of the fans rise to their feet.

*Burning now I bring you hell
Oh, burning now I bring you hell*

James then walks out onto the stage, he is wearing the intercontinental championship around his waist. He drops down on the stage, and rises back up moments later

*Leave me tonight, when the warnings said leave a shudder upon you
Running from all that you've feared in your life
Soul of the night, will a son mislead paint a horror upon you
Marking the moment, displaying in my ghost of a life
That I can't condone the way you left me out in the open
To leave me to die
So how can I, forget the way you led me through the path into heaven
To leave me behind*

Schumacher: Making his way to the ring, from Augusta, Georgia, weighing in tonight at 226 pounds, he is one half of the Dark City Boyz, the Intercontinental Champion... James "The Krusher" Jowers.

*Now I can't stay behind
Save me, from wreaking my vengeance upon you
Too Killing more than I can tell
Burning now I bring you hell
Oh, burning now I bring you hell*

James walks up to the top of the steps, and goes up onto the apron and hops to the second rope and bends down, only to rise back up, where he takes the Intercontinental championship off and holds it high in the air. He smiles at the fans looking on, he lays the title down on the top turnbuckle, and hops into the ring. He then walks over to the ropes, he gets up on the second rope and holds the title up once more. Most of the fans continue to cheer as he soon gets of of the ropes, and walks over into the corner. The X walks over to James J.  The two exchange a long stare as X holds out his hand.  James J just smirks and then offers his hand back to X, who just slaps it away.  He's not looking for a handshake, he's asking for the IC belt!  James scowls a little and unstraps the belt and hands it to X, who hoists the belt high into the air, the universal signal that lets everyone know it is on the line, and then hands it through the ropes to a ring side attendant.  The X looks to both Scylla and James before calling for the opening bell.

Hugh: And here we go!

The opening moment of the match sees James J charge out of his corner, and as he approaches, he ducks a clothesline from Scylla, only to quickly roll her up from behind in a pin!

1.
2.
3!

Hugh: NO!  X says only 2, but my god that was close!  And that was a fast count!  I've never seen anyone count that fast!

Bobby: So much for right down the middle!

James J stands up and shoves X back into a corner.

James J: What the hell?  I don't need your help!

X stares a hole through James J and just shakes his head, before putting up both hands in a sign of submission.  He then holds his hands out in a "go on" manner, and James turns around and is met by an enraged Scylla, who tackles James right back into the very corner X was in.  X ducks out of the way and rolls out of the ring, as Scylla pins James in the corner and lays in with a fury of rights and lefts, catching the champion off guard.  She puts punctuation on it with a huge standing dropkick and puts James J down on his rear-end in the corner.  Scylla stops for a moment and her attention turns to The X, standing outside the ring.  She points at him and scolds him.

Scylla: Be a man and call this down the middle!

X looses his composure for a moment and actually swings at Scylla!  She ducks just in the nick of time, back into the ring.  X slams his fists into the ring apron and starts to walk up the ramp, with a heated look on his face.

Hugh: Is he leaving?

Bobby: I can't believe he finally swung at her!  That has to dispell any questions as to whether or not these two are going to coexist in the same ring tonight.

Hugh: But he's the official!  He can't walk out on the match!

X stops at the bottom of the ramp and turns around, the anger slowly slips from his face as he regains his composure.  Back inside the ring, Scylla is capitalizing on James being down in the corner, and pulls him back up to his feet.  She goes to irish whip him across the ring to the opposite corner, but it's reversed by James J, who sends Scylla across into the corner.  James charges in and attempts that huge spear, the same one that folded Scylla in half few weeks back, but Scylla ducks out of the ring and James stops himself just short of hitting the ring post with his shoulder.  James backs up to the middle of the ring, and stops short...realizing that Scylla is outside the ring on one side, and X is still outside the ring on the other.  He shifts looks back and forth between them for a moment, and then raises his fists up as X slides back into the ring.  X just shakes his head at James and walks over and begins to count Scylla out of the ring.

1...

2...

3...

Scylla takes a moment to compose herself before sliding back under the bottom rope.  X stops the count and backs himself up into a corner and leans back, watching now.

Hugh: I think he's just going to let them go here Bobby.

Bobby: It may be the best idea he's had yet.

After an odd start to the match, it's almost as if it begins all over again.  Scylla and James move to the center of the ring and lock up, both looking to gain an advantage.  Scylla is the first to gain, as she turns and locks James into a standing side headlock.  But it's not locked in all the way, as James has his hands up to half block the hold.  Scylla cinches in, trying to lock it in all the way, but James reverses it, turning it into a hammer lock, before fluidly pulling Scylla down into a standing side head lock of his own.  The crowd cheers at the display of competition from the competitors.  Scylla sends a forearm into James' back, and then walks him over to the ropes, and breaks the hold by sending James flying off the ropes.  As James comes back, Scylla ducks down to the mat and James floats over her and comes off the ropes again, and this time Scylla takes James down to the mat with a hard clothesline.  With the champ down and holding the side of his face, Scylla charges at the ropes and springboards off into a moonsault, landing flush across James' torso!

Hugh: What impact!  The champ folded up like an acordian!

Bobby: I think it's going to take a lot more than a moonsault to put James away though!

Hugh: You're right there partner, he's already rolled over and is up on his hands and knees.

James staggers back to his feet and Scylla is right behind him, and she lifts him up and drops him down crotch-first onto her knee in an atomic drop.  James clutches his backside and barely gets a chance to catch his breath as he's taken over and back in a big german suplex!  His head hits hard, and Scylla makes the cover.  But X just stands there.  Scylla screams something inaudible to him and he moves down to make the count.

1........

2...........

But James kicks out after a very slow two count!  Scylla is seething, as she gets up and grabs X by his referee shirt and stares him in the eyes.  No emotion shown from X as he just brushes Scylla's hands off his shirt and pushes her back away.  He cocks his head to the side, as if to say don't push it or you're going to loose by DQ.  Scylla now realizes that she is fighting a bit of an uphill battle with X in the ring.  But that dosen't stop her as she turns her attention back to James J, who is pulling himself back up to his feet using the ropes.  As Scylla approaches James kicks her in the gut, stopping her in her tracks.  In a very fluid motion he follows up with a huge roundhouse kick to Scylla's face, that catches her in the side of her head, sending both down to the mat.  James lifts Scylla up and whips her off the ropes, catching her with a big spinning wheel kick, again the side of her head.  Scylla is rattled and James doesn't let up.  He picks her up lifts her straight up in the air, SKY HIGH and brings her crashing back down to the canvas.  He hooks a leg and covers her.  X is down for the count, and makes it a normal count this time after the last time he fast counted for James J.

1...

2...

2 3/4!

Scylla kicks out!

Hugh: Scylla is out, but barely after James J has turned things around.

Bobby: I said it before and I stand by it, I thinK Scyll has bit off more than she can chew against James J.

Hugh: Well he may be the Intercontinental Champion, but Scylla is a fighter.  And she already holds a pinfall victory over him!  I'd say this one can go either way!

Bobby: Either way?  Did just watch the same series of moves I did?  Scylla doesn't even know where she is right now!

Scylla is slow back to her feet and is only there for a moment before being sent right back down to the canvas with a huge dropkick from James J.  The Champ is on a roll, and the camera catches a glimpse of Cassy on the outside, with a worried look on her face.  Scylla is down and almost motionless, as James gets a running start and flips and lands hard with a senton splash across Scylla.  Again he goes for the cover.

1...

2...

Kick out!

Hugh: The champ seems to be getting a bit frustrated, as he's hitting some very big moves and yet can't put Scylla down for the 3 count!

Bobby: The man's got the gold for a reason.  He's just biding his time.  He knows he can put her down.  It's just a matter of time Hugh.

Hugh: That time may be getting nearer, James J has just locked in the Hill Side Strangler on Scylla!

As Scylla slowly made her way back to her feet again, James stalked her and approached from behind, pulling her down into his version of the tazzmission.  Scylla's arms are flailing as she tries desperately to fight through the pain and the urge to close her eyes as the air is sucked out of her.  X drops down to one knee and stares at Evey as she fights the hold.  James has it locked on in the center of the ring, and Evey's got no where to go.  In a bit of a panic, Scylla latches a hand onto X's shirt again and in the process shoves him back, although not on purpose.  X rolls through and stands back up, a look of anger returning to his face.  He looks to be about to call for the bell, when he decides against it.  He again takes his place in a corner and watches as Scylla starts to slow her movements, slowly fading from the hold.  X doesn't make a move to stop the match in any way.  James J sees this and breaks the hold.  He looks at X with a "what the ****" look and then covers the lifeless body of Scylla.  X drops down and begins to count.

1...

2...

NO!

Evey kicked out at the very last moment, gasping for more air.  James slaps the mat in frustration.  He gets up and again backs X up into a corner, shouting at him to call the match right.  The X and James J exchange heated words, with James shoving X back into the corner on a few occasions.  Meanwhile, Scylla has pulled herself back up using the ropes.  She tries shaking loose the cobwebs and then sees X and James arguing in the corner.  X shoves James back out of the corner and he turns around and is nailed by a huge super kick from Scylla!  The force of the kick sends James J back and the back of his head cracks The X right in the face, sending him down hard, leaving X dazed and seemingly out of it in the corner.  It took all that Scylla had to nail that kick, and now all three are down in the ring.

Hugh: I can't believe that!

Bobby: Did X just shove James into that kick?

Hugh: He shoved him but I don't think it had anything to do with what Scylla had in mind. 

Bobby: All three of these athletes are down, and we're without an official!

In the ring, Scylla is the first to pull herself back up to a standing base.  She takes one look at X, who is down in the corner and James, down in the center of the ring.  Scylla walks over to X and nudges him out of the ring with a boot.  She then motions for someone to send another referee out to the ring.  Without missing a beat, she picks James J up and nails him head first into the mat with a big DDT.  She again picks him up, gaining some momentum and pulls his head down and then lifts him up into position for a Crucifix Powerbomb, nailing it!  She plants James down hard into the mat and goes for the cover.  After a few very long seconds, and obviously more than a three count, a second referee finally slides into the ring and makes the count.

1...
2..

NO!  James is out at the very last moment.  Scylla has the same look of frustration on her face that James had a little while ago, but she doesn't let it get to her.  She quickly moves to James legs and locks in the Redemption Lock!  She sits back hard on it and the referee drops down to check on James J!  James looks to be about to tap, when from outside the ring, X pulls the referee out of the ring, and drops him into X MARKS THE SPOT.  X stands back up on the outside and brings his hand up to his forehead, and feels the small trickle of blood from the cut that James' head opened up.  X shakes it off and rolls under the bottom rope, just in time to see James J make it to the ropes!  X demands for Scylla to break the hold, which she begrudgingly does.

Hugh: Bobby this thing has gone back and forth, what else are we going to see here tonight?

Bobby: Someone needs to check on that other official!

Hugh: Both Scylla and James are drained from this match!

Scylla gives one glancing glare X's way and just refocuses on James, ignoring X.  Scylla sees that James is making his way back up to his knees, but is still dazed.  She climbs to the top rope and sets up for the Atonement!

Scylla dives from the top rope, and nails James with the Atonement!  She makes the cover.  X hesitates again, but drops down to make the count!  It's another slow count!

1...........

2................

3!!!!!

X lowers his head and calls for the bell.

Schumacher: Ladies and Gentlemen!  Here is your winner, and the NEW UWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION!  SCYLLA!

Hugh: My god she's done it!  After all that she had to fight through in this match, Scylla pulled it out!

Bobby: James got robbed!  New Dawn is now in possession of the Intercontinetal Championship!  What the hell does this mean for UWE???

Hugh: I don't know Bobby, but I think Scylla has other problems at the moment!

Back up in the ring, James J has rolled out of the ring.  Scylla stands up, a bit groggy as X throws the title at her!  X glares at Scylla and then drops out of the ring, quickly reaching under the ring apron and pulling out a cloth bag.  He slides the bag into the ring and grabs his bat as he slides back into the ring.  Scylla is up in a corner, but she looks ready to fight.  X points his bat at Scylla, and there's a moment of hurt in Scylla's eyes, almost as if she knows what's coming next.  She lowers her head, ready to take a shot to the skull from her former tag team partner.  She's hit, but by the cloth bag.  She raises her head, to see a still emotionless X.  She opens the string on the bag and pulls out her UWE Tag Team Title belt.  She then lets a smile creep across her face, as X hoists up his half of the tag team titles as well.  X rips the referee shirt off and reveals a New Dawn shirt, as he slings his title over his shoulder.  Scylla walks out of the corner and X picks up the Intercontinental title and gives it to Scylla and raises her hand!

Hugh: My god!  X has joined the New Dawn!??!  Was this all just a ruse?  All of this?

Bobby: They are celebrating, and it sure as hell looks that way to me Hugh!

Hugh: What does this mean for UWE?  New Dawn is now in possession of the Tag Team Championships, **** Championship, and the Intercontinental Championship!

The cameras fade out from this match, with a last shot of X and Scylla celebrating in the ring.

Coming back from a promotional sponsor commercial, we're at ringside with Hugh and Bobby.

"Now you'll never see

The video package closes with the Fight Night: Redemption poster that promotes James J versus Scylla, and at the very end The X flickers into the picture in a referee's shirt.

Hugh: Well there you have it, just a slight glimpse into the very storied past that these three share over a short time.

Bobby: The time for talking has come and gone.  It's time for action.

Hugh: Let's go up to Schumacher for the formal introductions and get this blockbuster match started!

The lights dim in the arena and three bell tolls sound.  A spotlight comes on in the ring, illuminating Schumacher.

Schumacher: Ladies and gentelmen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for THE ULTIMATE WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP!  Introducing first, he is the special guest referee assigned to this contest...one-half of the UWE Tag Team Champions, and the current UWE **** Champion...THE X!

The lights flicker frantically before going completely out. It is silent for a moment, until words echo throughout the arena:

"SINNERS....They're all sinners....they're all going to the painful, everlasting, FIREY HELL."

"Them Bones" by Alice in Chains blasts through the speakers, and a shower of sparks fly from underneath the Tron as Scylla walks into view. She turns her head slowly from left to right, waiting patiently for her little sister and manager, Cassy, to come out behind her.

Both women make their way down the ramp, Cassy smiling innocently, and Scylla staring intently at ring. Almost unknown to Scylla, Adam Deming and Alan Marrow have also made their way out, following Scylla and Cassy.  The redhead doesn't bother using the stairs; she climbs underneath the bottom rope and then onto the mat. Her little sister stays out of the ring and walks next to the bell holder. Scylla turns and sees the New Dawn, almost at the same moment that Schumacher makes his announcement.

Schumacher: And making her way to the ring, accompanied by Cassandra and The New Dawn, she is the challenger, Evelyn "Scylla" LaRivierre!

Scylla shakes her head in a disapproving manner and goes over to the ropes.  She leans over and starts to say something to Deming and Marrow, but is cut off.  X has reached under the ring apron and produced his black baseball bat and slings it over his shoulder as he walks over to where The New Dawn are outside the ring.  He shoots a cold glance up at Scylla and then takes the bat and points it at Deming and Marrow.

The X: GET OUT OF HERE!  You're not going to just walk out here and do as you all see fit!  I'm not going to allow this match to be tainted or swayed in your direction!  GET OUT OF HERE!

Bobby: What is X doing?  They were just out here to watch!

Hugh: He doesn't want any excuses in this one.  I have a feeling that no one is going to get an unfair advantage.

Bobby: C'mon Hugh!  X is biased, don't be coy!  He's going to call this one in favor of James J!  Scylla needs some help out here.

Hugh: I doubt that whole-heartedly partner.  The day that Scylla NEEDS someone else out here, is the day this company goes under and wrestling implodes upon itself until it is no more.

Bobby: What the hell are you talking about Hugh?

Hugh: I'm just saying she doesn't need help.

Bobby: There, now wasn't that easier?  Imploding on itself...what next Hugh?

Adam Deming and Alan Marrow have headed the warnings from X, helped by the icy glare from Scylla and have exited ring-side.  As X puts the bat down in the same corner as the **** Title, the lights again dim.

The opening of Hell by Disturbed begins to play over the PA.

*ahh ahh*

The song continues to play over the PA as some of the fans rise to their feet.

*Burning now I bring you hell
Oh, burning now I bring you hell*

James then walks out onto the stage, he is wearing the intercontinental championship around his waist. He drops down on the stage, and rises back up moments later

*Leave me tonight, when the warnings said leave a shudder upon you
Running from all that you've feared in your life
Soul of the night, will a son mislead paint a horror upon you
Marking the moment, displaying in my ghost of a life
That I can't condone the way you left me out in the open
To leave me to die
So how can I, forget the way you led me through the path into heaven
To leave me behind*

Schumacher: Making his way to the ring, from Augusta, Georgia, weighing in tonight at 226 pounds, he is one half of the Dark City Boyz, the Intercontinental Champion... James "The Krusher" Jowers.

*Now I can't stay behind
Save me, from wreaking my vengeance upon you
Too Killing more than I can tell
Burning now I bring you hell
Oh, burning now I bring you hell*

James walks up to the top of the steps, and goes up onto the apron and hops to the second rope and bends down, only to rise back up, where he takes the Intercontinental championship off and holds it high in the air. He smiles at the fans looking on, he lays the title down on the top turnbuckle, and hops into the ring. He then walks over to the ropes, he gets up on the second rope and holds the title up once more. Most of the fans continue to cheer as he soon gets of of the ropes, and walks over into the corner. The X walks over to James J.  The two exchange a long stare as X holds out his hand.  James J just smirks and then offers his hand back to X, who just slaps it away.  He's not looking for a handshake, he's asking for the IC belt!  James scowls a little and unstraps the belt and hands it to X, who hoists the belt high into the air, the universal signal that lets everyone know it is on the line, and then hands it through the ropes to a ring side attendant.  The X looks to both Scylla and James before calling for the opening bell.

Hugh: And here we go!

The opening moment of the match sees James J charge out of his corner, and as he approaches, he ducks a clothesline from Scylla, only to quickly roll her up from behind in a pin!

1.
2.
3!

Hugh: NO!  X says only 2, but my god that was close!  And that was a fast count!  I've never seen anyone count that fast!

Bobby: So much for right down the middle!

James J stands up and shoves X back into a corner.

James J: What the hell?  I don't need your help!

X stares a hole through James J and just shakes his head, before putting up both hands in a sign of submission.  He then holds his hands out in a "go on" manner, and James turns around and is met by an enraged Scylla, who tackles James right back into the very corner X was in.  X ducks out of the way and rolls out of the ring, as Scylla pins James in the corner and lays in with a fury of rights and lefts, catching the champion off guard.  She puts punctuation on it with a huge standing dropkick and puts James J down on his rear-end in the corner.  Scylla stops for a moment and her attention turns to The X, standing outside the ring.  She points at him and scolds him.

Scylla: Be a man and call this down the middle!

X looses his composure for a moment and actually swings at Scylla!  She ducks just in the nick of time, back into the ring.  X slams his fists into the ring apron and starts to walk up the ramp, with a heated look on his face.

Hugh: Is he leaving?

Bobby: I can't believe he finally swung at her!  That has to dispell any questions as to whether or not these two are going to coexist in the same ring tonight.

Hugh: But he's the official!  He can't walk out on the match!

X stops at the bottom of the ramp and turns around, the anger slowly slips from his face as he regains his composure.  Back inside the ring, Scylla is capitalizing on James being down in the corner, and pulls him back up to his feet.  She goes to irish whip him across the ring to the opposite corner, but it's reversed by James J, who sends Scylla across into the corner.  James charges in and attempts that huge spear, the same one that folded Scylla in half few weeks back, but Scylla ducks out of the ring and James stops himself just short of hitting the ring post with his shoulder.  James backs up to the middle of the ring, and stops short...realizing that Scylla is outside the ring on one side, and X is still outside the ring on the other.  He shifts looks back and forth between them for a moment, and then raises his fists up as X slides back into the ring.  X just shakes his head at James and walks over and begins to count Scylla out of the ring.

1...

3...

Scylla takes a moment to compose herself before sliding back under the bottom rope.  X stops the count and backs himself up into a corner and leans back, watching now.

Hugh: I think he's just going to let them go here Bobby.

Bobby: It may be the best idea he's had yet.

After an odd start to the match, it's almost as if it begins all over again.  Scylla and James move to the center of the ring and lock up, both looking to gain an advantage.  Scylla is the first to gain, as she turns and locks James into a standing side headlock.  But it's not locked in all the way, as James has his hands up to half block the hold.  Scylla cinches in, trying to lock it in all the way, but James reverses it, turning it into a hammer lock, before fluidly pulling Scylla down into a standing side head lock of his own.  The crowd cheers at the display of competition from the competitors.  Scylla sends a forearm into James' back, and then walks him over to the ropes, and breaks the hold by sending James flying off the ropes.  As James comes back, Scylla ducks down to the mat and James floats over her and comes off the ropes again, and this time Scylla takes James down to the mat with a hard clothesline.  With the champ down and holding the side of his face, Scylla charges at the ropes and springboards off into a moonsault, landing flush across James' torso!

Hugh: What impact!  The champ folded up like an acordian!

Bobby: I think it's going to take a lot more than a moonsault to put James away though!

Hugh: You're right there partner, he's already rolled over and is up on his hands and knees.

James staggers back to his feet and Scylla is right behind him, and she lifts him up and drops him down crotch-first onto her knee in an atomic drop.  James clutches his backside and barely gets a chance to catch his breath as he's taken over and back in a big german suplex!  His head hits hard, and Scylla makes the cover.  But X just stands there.  Scylla screams something inaudible to him and he moves down to make the count.

1........

2...........

But James kicks out after a very slow two count!  Scylla is seething, as she gets up and grabs X by his referee shirt and stares him in the eyes.  No emotion shown from X as he just brushes Scylla's hands off his shirt and pushes her back away.  He cocks his head to the side, as if to say don't push it or you're going to loose by DQ.  Scylla now realizes that she is fighting a bit of an uphill battle with X in the ring.  But that dosen't stop her as she turns her attention back to James J, who is pulling himself back up to his feet using the ropes.  As Scylla approaches James kicks her in the gut, stopping her in her tracks.  In a very fluid motion he follows up with a huge roundhouse kick to Scylla's face, that catches her in the side of her head, sending both down to the mat.  James lifts Scylla up and whips her off the ropes, catching her with a big spinning wheel kick, again the side of her head.  Scylla is rattled and James doesn't let up.  He picks her up lifts her straight up in the air, SKY HIGH and brings her crashing back down to the canvas.  He hooks a leg and covers her.  X is down for the count, and makes it a normal count this time after the last time he fast counted for James J.

2 3/4!

Scylla kicks out!

Hugh: Scylla is out, but barely after James J has turned things around.

Bobby: I said it before and I stand by it, I thinK Scyll has bit off more than she can chew against James J.

Hugh: Well he may be the Intercontinental Champion, but Scylla is a fighter.  And she already holds a pinfall victory over him!  I'd say this one can go either way!

Bobby: Either way?  Did just watch the same series of moves I did?  Scylla doesn't even know where she is right now!

Scylla is slow back to her feet and is only there for a moment before being sent right back down to the canvas with a huge dropkick from James J.  The Champ is on a roll, and the camera catches a glimpse of Cassy on the outside, with a worried look on her face.  Scylla is down and almost motionless, as James gets a running start and flips and lands hard with a senton splash across Scylla.  Again he goes for the cover.

1...

2...

Kick out!

Hugh: The champ seems to be getting a bit frustrated, as he's hitting some very big moves and yet can't put Scylla down for the 3 count!

Bobby: The man's got the gold for a reason.  He's just biding his time.  He knows he can put her down.  It's just a matter of time Hugh.

Hugh: That time may be getting nearer, James J has just locked in the Hill Side Strangler on Scylla!

As Scylla slowly made her way back to her feet again, James stalked her and approached from behind, pulling her down into his version of the tazzmission.  Scylla's arms are flailing as she tries desperately to fight through the pain and the urge to close her eyes as the air is sucked out of her.  X drops down to one knee and stares at Evey as she fights the hold.  James has it locked on in the center of the ring, and Evey's got no where to go.  In a bit of a panic, Scylla latches a hand onto X's shirt again and in the process shoves him back, although not on purpose.  X rolls through and stands back up, a look of anger returning to his face.  He looks to be about to call for the bell, when he decides against it.  He again takes his place in a corner and watches as Scylla starts to slow her movements, slowly fading from the hold.  X doesn't make a move to stop the match in any way.  James J sees this and breaks the hold.  He looks at X with a "what the ****" look and then covers the lifeless body of Scylla.  X drops down and begins to count.

1...

2...

NO!

Evey kicked out at the very last moment, gasping for more air.  James slaps the mat in frustration.  He gets up and again backs X up into a corner, shouting at him to call the match right.  The X and James J exchange heated words, with James shoving X back into the corner on a few occasions.  Meanwhile, Scylla has pulled herself back up using the ropes.  She tries shaking loose the cobwebs and then sees X and James arguing in the corner.  X shoves James back out of the corner and he turns around and is nailed by a huge super kick from Scylla!  The force of the kick sends James J back and the back of his head cracks The X right in the face, sending him down hard, leaving X dazed and seemingly out of it in the corner.  It took all that Scylla had to nail that kick, and now all three are down in the ring.

Hugh: I can't believe that!

Bobby: Did X just shove James into that kick?

Hugh: He shoved him but I don't think it had anything to do with what Scylla had in mind. 

Bobby: All three of these athletes are down, and we're without an official!

In the ring, Scylla is the first to pull herself back up to a standing base.  She takes one look at X, who is down in the corner and James, down in the center of the ring.  Scylla walks over to X and nudges him out of the ring with a boot.  She then motions for someone to send another referee out to the ring.  Without missing a beat, she picks James J up and nails him head first into the mat with a big DDT.  She again picks him up, gaining some momentum and pulls his head down and then lifts him up into position for a Crucifix Powerbomb, nailing it!  She plants James down hard into the mat and goes for the cover.  After a few very long seconds, and obviously more than a three count, a second referee finally slides into the ring and makes the count.

1...
2..

NO!  James is out at the very last moment.  Scylla has the same look of frustration on her face that James had a little while ago, but she doesn't let it get to her.  She quickly moves to James legs and locks in the Redemption Lock!  She sits back hard on it and the referee drops down to check on James J!  James looks to be about to tap, when from outside the ring, X pulls the referee out of the ring, and drops him into X MARKS THE SPOT.  X stands back up on the outside and brings his hand up to his forehead, and feels the small trickle of blood from the cut that James' head opened up.  X shakes it off and rolls under the bottom rope, just in time to see James J make it to the ropes!  X demands for Scylla to break the hold, which she begrudgingly does.

Hugh: Bobby this thing has gone back and forth, what else are we going to see here tonight?

Bobby: Someone needs to check on that other official!

Hugh: Both Scylla and James are drained from this match!

Scylla gives one glancing glare X's way and just refocuses on James, ignoring X.  Scylla sees that James is making his way back up to his knees, but is still dazed.  She climbs to the top rope and sets up for the Atonement!

Scylla dives from the top rope, and nails James with the Atonement!  She makes the cover.  X hesitates again, but drops down to make the count!  It's another slow count!

1...........

2................

3!!!!!

X lowers his head and calls for the bell.

Schumacher: Ladies and Gentlemen!  Here is your winner, and the NEW UWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION!  SCYLLA!

Hugh: My god she's done it!  After all that she had to fight through in this match, Scylla pulled it out!

Bobby: James got robbed!  New Dawn is now in possession of the Intercontinetal Championship!  What the hell does this mean for UWE???

Hugh: I don't know Bobby, but I think Scylla has other problems at the moment!

Back up in the ring, James J has rolled out of the ring.  Scylla stands up, a bit groggy as X throws the title at her!  X glares at Scylla and then drops out of the ring, quickly reaching under the ring apron and pulling out a cloth bag.  He slides the bag into the ring and grabs his bat as he slides back into the ring.  Scylla is up in a corner, but she looks ready to fight.  X points his bat at Scylla, and there's a moment of hurt in Scylla's eyes, almost as if she knows what's coming next.  She lowers her head, ready to take a shot to the skull from her former tag team partner.  She's hit, but by the cloth bag.  She raises her head, to see a still emotionless X.  She opens the string on the bag and pulls out her UWE Tag Team Title belt.  She then lets a smile creep across her face, as X hoists up his half of the tag team titles as well.  X rips the referee shirt off and reveals a New Dawn shirt, as he slings his title over his shoulder.  Scylla walks out of the corner and X picks up the Intercontinental title and gives it to Scylla and raises her hand!

Hugh: My god!  X has joined the New Dawn!??!  Was this all just a ruse?  All of this?

Bobby: They are celebrating, and it sure as hell looks that way to me Hugh!

Hugh: What does this mean for UWE?  New Dawn is now in possession of the Tag Team Championships, **** Championship, and the Intercontinental Championship!

The cameras fade out from this match, with a last shot of X and Scylla celebrating in the ring.
