Voltage
4th May 2009
Wo-oh! [x8]
I do not believe in God
That doesn't mean I'm a lesser person
I still have a heart
And I know what it feels like to be broken
I may not believe in Jesus
But I do believe in sacrifice
Life does not always stand reason
No one ever gets a chance
'Til they're out of time
I'd rather risk my fate
Then lose my faith
The lovin', the hatin'
The consenceapating
The chaos that comes
Raise The Alarm
We mean it
We'll die
Consence Denied
The Chaos that comes
Raise The Alarm
I may not believe in regrets
But I believe in self assurance
Some things I'd rather forget
We see what we choose and
We choose what we see to believe
In the name of the father,
the son,
and the holy ghost
I'm not concerned with religion
After all that whats inside
That is Smoke
I'd rather risk my fate
Then lose my faith
The lovin', the hatin'
The consenceapating
The chaos that comes
Raise The Alarm
We mean it
We'll die
Consence Denied
The Chaos that comes
Raise The Alarm
I'd rather risk my fate
Then lose my faith
I'd rather risk my fate
Then lose my faith
The consenceapating
The chaos that comes
Raise The Alarm
We mean it
We'll die
Consence Denied
The Chaos that comes
Raise The Alarm
I may not believe in regrets
But I believe in self assurance
Some things I'd rather forget
We see what we choose and
We choose what we see to believe
In the name of the father,
the son,
and the holy ghost
I'm not concerned with religion
After all that whats inside
That is Smoke
I'd rather risk my fate
Then lose my faith
The lovin', the hatin'
The consenceapating
The chaos that comes
Raise The Alarm
We mean it
We'll die
Consence Denied
The Chaos that comes
Raise The Alarm
Raise the Alarm by The Living End continues playing in the background as we enter the arena for Monday Night Voltage as the infamous pyrotechnics explode from the stage. The crowd is going crazy for the newest company and show to hit the scene with some of the biggest stars appearing and great wrestling and great entertainment in the next 2 hours. As we look to be going to JBL and Todd Grisham for the commentary we hear Raise the Alarm over the loud speakers as a young man with sleek black hair walks to the ring in a suit. He makes his way to the ring as the crowd do not know whether to cheer or boo until he starts to speak.
Brandon Gardner: Hello all and welcome to Monday NIGHT VOLTAGE! I am General Manager Brandon Gardner. We are sure you will enjoy tonights show as much as I enjoyed piecing it together.
The crowd cheer although still unsure what to do.
Brandon Gardner: A lot of these superstars have been training for this very night and they are going to do everything possible to entertain you.
Gardner paces around the ring as he gets a mixed reaction as they know he is partly lying.
Brandon Gardner: I am not new to the wrestling business but I am new to this kind of stuff so all of you may have to bare with me as I attempt to put on the best show possible!
Gardner then moves around slowly as he looks to leave the ring.
Brandon Gardner: Thank you for your...
As Gardner looks to finish his sentence and exit the ring, we hear music come over the loudspeakers and the titantron flashes with the video as yellow sparks of Pyrotechnics rain down onto the stage as the music is Burn in my Light, the music of one Randy Orton. He makes his way out to the ring with a smile as the crowd boo him heavily as he slowly walks to the ring and raises his arms out as the pyro continues to rain down over him. When he gets to the ring, Gardner does not look happy and he gets a microphone from ringside.
Randy Orton: You said, you were new to this and it shows.
The crowd boos as they obviously like Brandon Gardner.
Randy Orton: Mr. Gardner, in case you don't realize, I have ended many careers and I am not afraid to end yours before it even begins.
Brandon Gardner: Randy, I may be new to this, but I do not answer to punks like yourself.
Gardner pokes him in the chest with as Randy looks around angrily.
Randy Orton: Look, I don't know how you plan to do this with nobody on your side and with that attitude, you won't be making any either. I am one of the most powerful men backstage so if you want your career over, just do it again.
Orton is getting continually frustrated as he looks at Gardner with a very sly look on his face as the crowd boo.
Randy Orton: Gardner, I tried to respect you but then you go ahead and get physical, give me one reason why I shouldn't walk out of this company right now and never come back.
Gardner smiles as Randy does not look happy with him.
Brandon Gardner: You need a pay cheque.
Randy Orton: Is that your only defence but on second thought, I had another idea. Tonight, you will hand to me the ACW World Title or you will pay the consequences.
Brandon Gardner: And what consequences would they be Randy.
Randy Orton: R-K-O!
The crowd boo as Randy smiles slyly. Gardner then walks away as Orton then gets angry but then with a smile signals for the title to go around his waist as Gardner walks down the ramp to a good reaction from the crowd.

Todd Grisham: Welcome back to Monday Night Voltage, as you may or may not know I am Todd Grisham alongside my colleague John Bradshaw Layfield. Before the break we saw Randy Orton ask for the title to be handed over to him.
JBL: I say Gardner just give it to him and keep his career. He needs to think of his family.
Todd Grisham: Well, as far as I know, Brandon is a tough nut to crack and I don't think that he should hand that title over, after all he is the boss of the company.
JBL: Maybe Randy should come after you too.
Todd Grisham: Yeah okay John, well next up we have our first contest for the evening between Chris Masters and Matt Sydal, two very contrasting styles.
Match One
Matt Sydal vs Chris Masters
This match began at a slow pace with Sydal controlling the first part of the match until one Chris Masters started going all out, using dirty tactics and powerhouse moves to slow down the match. Masters went for the Masterlock numerous times but never managed to lock it on as Sydal used unique counters to escape it. After taking a pounding from Masters, a near exhausted and close to out of it Sydal starts to fight back with kicks and springboard moves. Matt Sydal then climbs to the top rope looking for a shooting Sydal press as his finisher. Masters slowly gets to his feet and runs to the turnbuckle and grabs him by the neck. He then throws him to the ground back first as he then taunts for the Masterlock, hoping to get him this time. He grabs it on tight and holds him in as Sydal starts to pass out when finally... SYDAL PASSES OUT, IT'S ALL OVER.
Winner: Chris Masters
Masters celebrates as he throws Sydal down passed out. Masters taunts the crowd before looking down menacingly and then drops down and rolls out of the ring. Masters lifts up the apron and with a sadistic smile grabs a steel chair out from underneath before throwing it into the ring and following it himself. Chris then moves over and lifts up the chair as Sydal starts getting to his feet and then slams the chair into his gut driving the wind right out of him. Chris Masters then lifts him to his feet before letting him stumble around before slamming the chair into his head and Sydal starts bleeding profusely. Masters then exits the ring as the crowd boo and then we go backstage as he walks up the ramp.

Josh Matthews: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, John Cena. John, you came into this company and tonight you have a big match against Chris Jericho, how will you go about winning tonight?
John Cena: Josh, I am going to be one of the people to make this company big. Jericho is my first step forward and to be honest, I am going to fight harder then ever. The Chain Gang will be behind me all the way.
Josh Matthews: What are your thoughts on Randy Orton demanding the title be handed over to him tonight?
John Cena: Orton will not be getting that championship tonight from Gardner, if I have anything to do with it later tonight.
Josh Matthews: Thank you for your time John.
John Cena: Jericho, good luck, you will need it tonight!
Elsewhere
We see Gardner in his office, one foot on the chair and one on the ground as he is dialing on his phone trying to get a number, he brings it to his ear finished dialing. We can only just hear what he is saying.
Brandon Gardner: Orton is demanding the title, I need you here.
Gardner waits for the answer before speaking again.
Brandon Gardner: Well, get here before the end of the show.
Brandon then hangs up the phone abruptly as we head to commercial.

Todd Grisham: Welcome back to Monday Night Voltage, it brings to you the biggest wrestling at it's finest and we say that earlier with Masters beating down Sydal after their match.
JBL: Todd, Masters was just doing what he had to get further in this business.
Todd Grisham: By destroying a future big star.
JBL: Precisely, that is one way to get over well.
Todd Grisham: Well next up we have a massive match between 2 of the tag teams that this company is proud to have in London and Kendrick and the Team of Mercury and Nitro.
Match Two
London and Kendrick vs MnM (Mercury and Nitro)
The match was fast paced and all men seemed to give it their all. Nitro and Kendrick play out the start of the match which was fully on Kendrick's side with frequent tags to London isolating Nitro. Nitro finally made the tag to is partner in Mercury after a rake of the eyes to Kendrick before dropping him with a scoop slam. Kendrick attempts to crawl over to his corner but Mercury stops him before lifting him up and hitting a kick and hitting a DDT. This isolated beat down continues for a good part of the match until Kendrick manages to hit a dropkick and make the tag to his partner. With the hot tag he takes on both men with hard clotheslines and dropsaults including a dropsault to Nitro continuing into a moonsault on the downed Mercury. The match ended with an attempted 450 Splash onto Mercury but Nitro comes in and pushes him down as he then gets tackled down to the floor through the top and second rope by Kendrick as both fall to the ground. It then ends with London turning his opponent around and laying him down and getting the pin with a superkick to the chin.
Winners: London and Kendrick
Todd Grisham: What a big win for the team of London and Kendrick.
JBL: Well, Mercury and Nitro were good in the match asnd would've won if Kendrick didn't run though the ring and cheat by attacking Nitro.
Todd Grisham: Yeah, after Nitro cheated himself. Well, anyway I have gotten word that our cameras have caught up with the man that attacked Sydal earlier.
Backstage
Chris Masters: You wanna know why I attacked Sydal? Huh, well I did it to prove my dominance over ACW. This company is full of people that do not know what I am about and now I am going to prove why, I will not be losing at all in my tenure in this company...
Brandon Gardner then walks up to him with a sly smile as Masters looks over to him.
Brandon Gardner: I don't like what you did today Masters, but I do approve of your methods, so at Vantage Point. You are going to prove to my why you are the most dominant in this company so... at Vantage Point it will be you against...
Chris Masters: Look Gardner, you may want to shut your mouth before it gets you into a difficult place to be in.
Brandon Gardner: Huh, you want to try and put me in your place, I am one of the owners of this company, I will fire you on the spot. I don't care what you want Masters. I will show you what I want. Next week you will be going one on one with...
BOBBY LASHLEY
And at Vantage point you will be facing the man you attacked tonight, it will be you against MATT SYDAL!

Todd Grisham: Welcome back to Voltage, it is now time for the Beatdown Recap.
Before Regal can really get a breather however, Batista comes out of nowhere with a Spear that sends Regal right out after him! William Regal Has Been Eliminated. Batista turns around and gets rocked by a few blows of Kurt Angle, who is desperately going for a W here. Batista comes back with a knee to the gut as well, giving Kurt a few big right hands as well. Batista sends Angle to the ropes, but Kurt catches himself. Batista runs towards him for another Spear, but Kurt Angle wraparounds his opponent and delivers a german suplex counter! The force of the suplex springs Batista back to his feet, going against the ropes, as Kurt Angle runs and delivers a lariat that sends both men up and over the top rope, but Kurt Angle holds on at the last second, still falling to the floor below but clearly right after Batistas elimination!
Todd Grisham: Kurt Angle won the Elite Championship and now he wins the right to have the title and keep it over his should, like what Orton Demanded earlier in the show. Lets have a look now.
Randy Orton: Gardner, I tried to respect you but then you go ahead and get physical, give me one reason why I shouldn't walk out of this company right now and never come back.
Gardner smiles as Randy does not look happy with him.
Brandon Gardner: You need a pay cheque.
Randy Orton: Is that your only defence but on second thought, I had another idea. Tonight, you will hand to me the ACW World Title or you will pay the consequences.
Brandon Gardner: And what consequences would they be Randy.
Randy Orton: R-K-O!
The crowd boo as Randy smiles slyly. Gardner then walks away as Orton then gets angry but then with a smile signals for the title to go around his waist as Gardner walks down the ramp to a good reaction from the crowd.
Todd Grisham: Then just a little while ago we say Gardner on the phone to someone, who too we do not know yet.
JBL: I have a pretty good guess.
Todd Grisham: Who would that... ah forget it. Well after the break we will see Matt Hardy and the Miz in action.
Commercial
We return with Miz finishing his entrance.
Match Three
The Miz vs Matt Hardy
This match runs at a medium pacer with the crowd behind Matt Hardy the whole match. The two put on a near flawless match with it flowing well. Hardy controls the first part of the match with faster paced moves keeping The Miz grounded. Matt then goes the wrong way after a suicide dive gos wrong and he goes chest first to the outside of the ring. This brings in the advantage of Mike Mizanin as he keeps Matt grounded with various head locks until transitioning into varying submissions. The match then moves into the final stage with Miz missing a dropkick as he goes sprawling on the mat as Hardy sits off with a breather in the corner. This slows the match down as both men seem exhausted from the action beforehand. Finally both men get to their feet and start trading off punches with Matt getting the advantage knocking him back. He then hits a forearm before slowly backing up and then running in and diving in to hit a flying clothesline into the neck driving him into the corner. Hardy then wraps his arm around his neck and drops him with his signature bulldog driving him to the mat. Matt then starts taunting the crowd for a Twist of Fate to the crowds delight which then is turned to boos when Mercury and Nitro come running down the ramp and attack Hardy causing a Disqualification.
Winner by DQ: Matt Hardy
MNM and The Miz start destroying Hardy with anything they can find under the ring trying to wear him down. They finally end their attack after a con-chair-to too the head of Hardy who starts bleeding profusely. MNM and The Miz each raise each others hands as the crowd boo when finally Nitro grabs a microphone and then starts to speak.
Johnny Nitro: Welcome to the new MNM and Hardy, you are the first on our list of non a-listers.
Nitro throws the Microphone down as we go to a commercial.
Commercial
Todd Grisham: Welcome back and before the break we say a vicious beat down on Matt Hardy after he was just about to win a match against The Miz
JBL: How the hell do you know that Todd, you shouldn't make accusations like that, Miz could of won that easy.
Todd Grisham: Well then his apparent new buddies came out and gave him a hand with the vicious 3 on 1 beatdown.,
JBL: MNM version 2 is going to be better then the first, and it was one of the best.
Todd Grisham: Whatever John, well I am just getting word that our colleague Josh Matthews is with Chris Jericho.
Backstage
Josh Matthews: Thank you Todd and please welcome my guest at this time, Y2J, Chris Jericho, and Chris tonight you are in the main event tonight against John Cena, what are your thoughts?
Chris Jericho: John Cena, a hypocrite, he talks about being all about the fans but when it comes right down to it, he cares nothing for them. He talks about the fans being his chain gang but given the chance he would turn on them in a second.
Josh Matthews: Strong words from Chris Jericho...
Chris Jericho: I think you need to realize Josh, I am right here. Never talk about me like I am not here Josh.
Josh Matthews: Sorry Chris...
Chris Jericho: Just shut up.
Back in the Arena
Match Four
Masato Yoshino vs TJ Wilson
The match begins with Yoshino starting the match fast as both have their partners in Smith and Natalya with Wilson and Yoshino has Doi in his corner. Masato bewilders TJ sprinting around the ring staying away from him but Wilson manages to catch him with a clothesline knocking him to the mat before keeping him grounded. As the fan favorite, Wilson goes into the air at times but mostly keeps it at a slower pace. A while into the match, Yoshino starts fighting back getting a running start but until Wilson hits a lariat does his momentum stop. Then finally, Wilson puts his foot into the midsection before running the ropes and then hitting The Code Blue for a squashish victory.
Winner: TJ Wilson

Main Event
Chris Jericho vs John Cena
The match started off slowly with a lock up as they look to get the crowd going earlier. Cena keeps the advantage to start but the match does not last any longer then 2 minutes as Randy Orton comes running down the ramp and catches the standing Cena with an RKO out of nowhere, then he awaits Jericho to stand and plants him with an RKO as well causing a no contest.
Winner: No Contest
Randy Orton then grabs a microphone as he brings it to his mouth.
Randy Orton: Bring out THE SET.
Commercial
Finally, when we return from what will most likely bring the last commercial break we see a red carpet spanning the entrance ramp and a podium in the ring as Orton is standing in the ring.
Randy Orton: Gardner, I am your biggest asset, you would be smart to keep me happy. This place will not SURVIVE without me. These days, you better keep people like me happy to avoid losing your job.
The crowd boo the Orton threats.
Randy Orton: Get the hell out here Gardner! Hand me that title right now or you will pay the consequences...
Raise the Alarm by The Living End starts to play as Brandon Gardner waltz down to the ring with a briefcase in one hand, most likely the World Title.
Randy Orton: Now if you were smart...
Brandon Gardner: Shut up Randy.
The crowd let off a loud cheer as Orton is put in his place.
Brandon Gardner: I am not here to hand what's in this briefcase to you, I am here to make you earn it.
The crowd cheer again as Orton does not look happy. Gardner then lays the briefcase on the podium.
Brandon Gardner: Randy, if you want the briefcase so badly, then take it, nothing is stopping you here.
Orton then starts looking eerily at the briefcase thinking if it is a lie before grabbing hold of it and opening it up and revealing a shiny new title.
Brandon Gardner: Go on, take it, I dare you.
Orton keeps eyeing the title before finally slowly grabbing the title and then walking out of the ring and smiling with the title over his shoulder when he gets to the top of the ramp when...
SEXY BOY
HBK MAKES HIS WAY OUT ON THE RAMP BEHIND RANDY. HE THEN WAKES FOR ORTON TO TURN AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH SWEET CHIN MUSIC.
Brandon Gardner: Please welcome, your first ACW Champion, the Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels.
Michaels then picks up the title off of the shoulder of Orton and drapes it over his shoulder as the crowd cheer heavily and we go off air.
Good hiding.
