(CUE UP:  “Put Your Lights On” by Santana)

(CUT TO: A battered, two-lane road cuts a dusty swath of gray through the arid plains of West Texas.  As the camera pans left, a faded green road sign comes into view.  A stiff wind from the plains causes the sign to waver and blows tumbleweed along the road.  “Abilene: 20 miles.  Sweetwater: 63 miles.”)

"Hey now, all you sinners…put your lights on, put your lights on…"

(CUT TO:  Slow motion shot of Evan Aho picking up the CSWA World Heavyweight Title and slinging it over his shoulder with a grimace.)

"Hey now, all you killers…put your lights on, put your lights on…"

(CUT TO:  Slow motion footage of an exhausted Mark Windham rolling out of the ring and walking up the aisle after a grueling match.)

(CUT TO: An airplane shot slowly follows a lone pick-up truck along a narrow ribbon of highway.  As the camera pans ahead of the truck the FISH FUND Park Arena is visible on the horizon.)

V/O: It was once said, “Only hard and winding roads lead to Sweetwater.”  Tonight’s main-event is a testament to that statement.  Evan Aho and Mark Windham have arrived at Fish Fund XIII along those roads…

(CUT TO: Footage from CSWA PRIMETIME in St. Louis )

BB: Radder reaches through the ropes this time and pulls Aho up by the hair, pulling him into the ring with the champ. He pulls Aho to the middle of the ring – listen to the fans! They want to see it! He signals for the Absolute Zero…. Here we go!

SB: It’s certainly no Hurricane Piledriver.

BB: Aho fought his heart out tonite, he has nothing to be ashamed of. WAITASECOND! AHO HOOKED RADDER! SMALL PACKAGE! ONE! TWO! THREE!

(CUE UP: “Blood, Milk, and Sky” – White Zombie)

SB: What the hell just happened?

BB: I can’t believe what just happened! When Radder hoisted Aho up for the Absolute Zero, Aho hooked his head and was able to roll him up for the three count! Evan Aho is lying motionless in the middle of the ring, but the fact remains, he had enough left in him to hold Radder down! And we have a new CSWA World Heavyweight Champion, and his name is EVAN AHO!

SB: You can bet this is gonna toss ANNIVERSARY’s shape into a tailspin.

V/O: Those words turned out to be prophetic, but for an entirely different reason…

(CUT TO: Footage from ANNIVERSARY 2001)

(Big time POP from the crowd...something's up!)  (A five-note refrain plays as the TV wall lights up in various colors.)

BB: What’s this? Sammy!!

("Theme To Close Encounters of the Third Kind" plays... that same five-note refrain in orchestral fashion.)

(Mark Windham, in long black tights and an off-white Greatest American Hero t-shirt, slowly walks to the ring. His hair is dyed black, shoulder length, slightly covering both eyes.)

SB: I can take midgets!! But not this loon!

BB: Listen to this place Sammy! It’s rockin’ baby! The Living Legend returns to Greensboro!

SB:  The Living X-File, that is.  Even his music is loony!

(Mike Randalls sees Windham and quickly lets go of the hold. Eddy painfully retreats to the middle of the ring. Randalls is on guard as Windham creeps past him. The two exchange stares, before Mark climbs into Randalls’ corner.)

BB: NO WAY!

V/O: The road less traveled is that way for a reason…

(CUT TO: Footage from CSWA PRIMETIME in Oklahoma City)

BB: HE'S GOT SOME SORT OF PAPER! HE'S GOING TO TRY AND BURN THE WORLD CHAMP!-- (the crowd POPS again as Michael Hardy sneaks into the ring.) OHHHHHH MYYY!!!!! EDDIE MAYFIELD JUST SPUN AND THREW FIRE IN THE FACE OF MICHAEL HARDY, WHO DOVE BETWEEN HIS RIVAL AND EVAN AHO! (Hardy is holding his face, SCREAMING in pain.)

SB: I'M GLAD THAT PUNK GOT BURNED! I CAN SMELL HIS FLESH FROM HERE!

BB: MAYFIELD LOOKS AT WHAT HE DID AND SMILES-- EVAN AHO JUST KICKED MAYFIELD IN THE STOMACH! HE HAS THE ARMS HOOKED! (The crowd POPS.) ECSTASY! THE TIGER DRIVER! BUT AHO JUST HURT THAT SHOULDER! MAYFIELD GOT DUMPED ON HIS NECK BUT AHO'S SHOULDER MIGHT BE SEPARATED!

SB: WAKE UP, MAYFIELD!

BB: AHO IS HURT, ROLLING ON THE MAT! HOT PROPERTY IS OUT COLD! AHO IS CRAWLING OVER AND LOOKS AT WORTHINGTON WHO IS STILL SHAKEN UP!

SB: WHAT IS HE DOING?

BB: AHO ISN'T GOING FOR THE PIN! HE HOISTS MAYFIELD UP AND AGAIN HOOKS HIM... A SECOND ECSTASY TIGER DRIVER! AHO NOW HOOKS BOTH LEGS! WORTHINGTON COUNTS!

SB: (defeated) Oh....

BB: THIS IS ELEMENTARY! (The crowd counts along) ONEEE!!!! TWOOOO!!!! THREEEE!!!! EVAN AHO MADE SURE... HE MADE SURE THAT HE DEFEATED EDDIE MAYFIELD BY HITTING TWO STRAIGHT TIGER DRIVERS! (EMTs come HAULING to ringside, from all over.)

(CUT TO: More footage from PRIMETIME in Oklahoma City)

BB:  SAMMY! FAAMMMMMILY!  Love hooks both of Windham ’s arms – (cheers!) CHICKEN WING BRAINBUSTER! GOOD LORD!  Love now makes the signal, he’s going for the HURRICANE!

SB:  This is all she wrote!

BB:  Love rips Windham up to his feet and stuffs him between his legs!

SB:  Sounds like my first interview with Teri Melton!

BB:  SAMMY! Love lifting Windham up…(cheers!) WAIT!  WINDHAM KICKING HIS LEGS AND LOVE CAN’T GET HIM UP! (CHEERS!) WINDHAM WITH A BACK BODY DROP!  OH MY GOD – HE GOT OUT! Windham falls to his knees!  He gets back up and Love gets up in a daze – Windham with a kick to the gut! (HUGE EXPLOSIVE CHEERS!) OH MY GOD! DID WE JUST SEE WHAT I THINK WE SAW!

SB:  Oh my god, I don’t believe this.

BB:  WINDHAM WITH A SLACKNIFE!  A SLACKNIFE! EDDY IS OUT!  WINDHAM CRAWLS OVER AND DRAPES AN ARM ON HIM! ONE!  TWO! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!  I DON’T BELIEVE THIS! 

(CUT TO:  More slow motion shots of Aho and Windham in separate matches.)

V/O:  Tonight they’ve both arrived…but what baggage have Evan Aho and Mark Windham brought into FISH FUND Park Arena?  More importantly…who will be sent packing?

(CUT TO: Evan Aho with his face coated in blood at ANNIVERSARY 2000.  He carries a folding chair but drops it carelessly.)

"’Cause there’s a monster, livin’ under my bed, whisperin’ in my ear…"

(CUT TO: Mark Windham arriving at FISH FUND Park Arena with a pained expression on his face.  Sunshine Del Payne follows him closely as he dodges the press.)

"There’s an angel, with a hand on my head, she says I’ve got nothin’ to fear…"

(CUT TO: A horribly bent folding chair. An explosion from inside FISH FUND Park Arena.  An announcer’s table laying in shards on the floor.  Hornet lying unconscious on the pavement outside the arena.)

"There’s a darkness living deep in my soul, it’s still got a purpose to serve…so let your light shine deep into my home, God don’t let me lose my nerve…. don’t let me lose my nerve."

(The lights in the Arena fade in slowly, leaving the ring and ringside area bathed in light as the video package ends.  The crowd is on its feet, as over 100,000 strong cheer, awaiting the official introductions.)

SB:  Good grief, there's not even a blasted referee in the ring.

BB:  After the match for the US Title, I don't know if there are any left in the building.  Ben Worthington was supposed to be official for this one.

RHUBARB JONES:  Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is for the CSWA World Heavyweight Championship!  This match is one-fall, and there is NO time limit!

(Rhubarb stops for a moment and leans over the ropes, getting word from a CSWA staffer.)

RJ:  The official for this match is Manuel Juarez.  (Crowd gasps slightly, then begins to boo.)

SB:  Juarez is the only one left?  You've gotta be kidding me.  After that farce he pulled in the World Junior Junior match on Melton?!

BB:  Um...he actually called that one right, Sammy.  But point taken, Juarez and World Title matches never seem to mix well.

SB:  You mean Juarez, World Title matches and WINDHAM...

(CUEUP:  "Theme from 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.'")  (There's a huge hometown crowd pop in anticipation, echoing off of the roof of the arena.)

RJ:  Wrestling fans, here is tonight's challenger and the number one contender to the CSWA World Title.  Standing at 6'5 and 267 pounds, and hailing from right here in Sweetwater, Texas... (Jones pauses as the crowd gets even louder).  He is a former four-time United States Champion, a former Enterprise World Champion, and a former Unified World Heavyweight Champion.  He is.... "THE LIVING LEGEND"  MARKKKKKKKKKKKKK  WINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDHAMMMMMMMMM!

(Windham steps onto the stage wearing long black tights and black boots.  Standing next to him in a black leather skirt, white T-shirt and black boots is Sunshine Del Payne.)

BB:  This is the chance Windham's been waiting for, apparently.  He's expressed some trepidation at his return to the CSWA, but his talent still speaks for itself.

SB:  Let's hope this is his LAST chance, Buckley.  We've all seen enough of "The Living X-File," his family tragedies and his suicidal girlfriend to last us several lifetimes.  Between he, Hornet and Flair, it's like a freakin' "Days of Our Lives" episode around here.  What's next, aliens?

BB:  You just rant to listen to yourself speak, don't you?

SB:  Sometimes.

RJ:   The other competitor in this match hails from Seattle, Washington and stands at six feet even, 234 pounds.  Before Dan Ryan, before Blade, before Wicked Sight, THIS MAN was the straw that stirred the drink in the GXW.  

SB:  Hey!  Nice dig by Rhubarb!  I didn't know he had it in him.

RJ:  This former regional champion stepped into the CSWA and won the Greensboro Championship.  And then, just over eight months ago, he defeated Steve Radder to become the CSWA World Heavyweight Champion!  He is the consummate ring technician, the best wrestler pound-for-pound in the world today, he is EVANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN  AHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

BB:  This Sweetwater crowd is giving a huge ovation to the CSWA World Champion as well!  I don't know who they'll end up cheering for as things get started.

(The shot cuts to backstage, where a group of CSWA wrestlers and staff have gathered around a large monitor to watch the match.)

SB:  What about those guys? 

BB:  I don't know who they're cheering for either, but they're obviously watching this match intently.  Evan Aho climbs in the ring after tossing the World Championship to Rhubarb Jones.  Manuel Juarez is motioning for Mark Windham to step into the ring as he pats down the boots of Aho.  He does the same for Windham as the two men stare.  Aho continued to shake his arms and legs, loosening up, while Mark backs away and bounces on the ropes to get loose.

SB:  Buckley, you don't have to worry about me getting loose. I realized the magnitude of this match hours ago and started preparing myself then. 

BB:  I have no doubts.

SB:  I may not be competing for a Championship title, but I take what I do just as seriously. 

BB:  Sammy we're live, that one can't be edited out.

SB:  Oh. I guess this is PPV huh. I work so many dates Buckley you can't expect me to be on top of things day in and day out. 

(The bell rings.  The crowd pops.)

BB:  Another FISH FUND Main Event is underway!

SB:  Don't act so giddy, Buckley. It simply marks the continuing slide of America into what my momma use to call, "The Stupid Ghetto." Once you've unpacked, you're home for good. Take a look around you, there's 104,000 shining examples.

BB:  Aho and Windham lock horns in the middle of the ring! I'm ignoring that comment Sammy, Aho whips Windham to the mat with a textbook armdrag! Windham rushes to his feet, Aho dropkick square on Windham's jaw, sending Mark through the ropes and crashing to the outside!

SB:  He oughta just walk up the aisle now.  Windham's outwitted, outmatched and he's gonna get outplayed.

BB:  I know you'd like to see women in bikinis, Sammy, but this isn't Survivor.  Windham's staying on the outside, though.  It looks like he's waiting for Aho.

SB:  If Evan decides he can fight X-File on the outside, then he's not half as smart as you think he is.

BB:  I don't even think that made sense.  Juarez has started the ten-count on Windham, and Aho has shown no sign of heading to the outside.

SB:  Well, at least we've determined the World Champion isn't an idiot.  Course, we confirmed that Traitor Sight is...but I've been saying that for years.

BB:  Windham hops up on the apron.  It looks like Aho is going to let him in clean.  It's hard to believe that Mark Windham was Aho's age when he became the Unified World Champion.  It's even harder to believe that was eight years ago!

SB:  Eight long years...in which Windham's skills have gone by the wayside, along with his wife, his kid, and apparently, hair care products.

BB:  Sunshine Del Payne has taken a seat near our table, distracting Sammy momentarily.

SB:  Sorry, Buckley.  I was looking to see if she had any new scars anywhere.  Being a ring rat for Windham would make even a sane woman wanna cut herself.

BB:  That's over the line, Sammy.

SB:  Ya think?

BB:  I know.  Aho and Windham circling in the center of the ring.  Quick collar-and-elbow by Windham, but a standing switch by the champ.  SNAP SUPLEX sends The Living Legend down!  He's up, but Aho catches him with another dropkick, sending Windham hard into the corner.  Windy charges out, but Aho ducks the clothesline and sends Mark chest-first into the opposite corner.  Windham stumbles out... REVERSE NECKBREAKER!  Cover by Aho!  Juarez counts  ONE.......... NO!  Windham kicks out after the one-count and quickly rolls into the ropes to the outside.  He needs a time out!

SB:  Then maybe he should've brought Chris Webber to ringside!  He knows all about calling time outs when WE DON'T HAVE ANY!

BB:  Juarez quickly starts another ten-count for the ring out by Windham.  Once again, Aho shows no interest in following Windham outside.

SB:  Why would he?  He's dominating Windbag inside the ring.

BB:  Windham back on the apron after a quick glance over at Sunshine.  He climbs in with no inteference by Aho, and again, the two circle in the middle of the ring.  Aho goes for a collar-and-elbow, but Windham grabs the arm and sends the World Champ for the ride into the ropes.  Aho ducks another clothesline, but Windham catches him on the flip side with a big elbow that leaves Aho checking to make sure he has all his teeth!

SB:  Typical cheap shot by "The Living Legend."  Please.

BB:  I wouldn't say that.  But Windham quickly shoves Aho into the corner and starts mugging him with quick rights and lefts.  Referee Juarez warns Windham about the closed fists, so Windy delivers some knife edge chops!  (SFX:  WHOO!s from the crowd)

SB:  And since when did Manny care about calling closed fists?  The man can't even say 'closed fists' in English.

BB:  Yes he can, Sammy!  He speaks English just fine.

SB:  Yeah, if you call, "The C-S-W-A has been berry, berry good to me," 'just fine.'

BB:  Aho powers out of the corner, but Windham grabs an arm and whips Aho across the ring into the other turnbuckle.  He charges in with an elbow to the chest, and now he mounts the second rope and starts hammering down on Aho.  (The crowd begins to count the punches.)

SB:  Here comes Manny!

BB:  That sounds like a bad TV sitcom.  Juarez warns Windham again on the closed fists, but Windham continues to hammer.  And now Juarez actually grabs Windham's arm!  (As always, the crowd continues to count for another two punches.)

SB:  The Cuban better watch out!

BB:  Windham jumps down off the rope and shoves Juarez across the ring, where he lands on his backside!  Aho off the second rope... IMPLANT DDT!!!!  He covers, but Juarez isn't in position!  Finally...ONE....TWO... NO!

SB:  How convienient.

BB:  Windham kicks out and rolls away from Aho, but this time, Aho follows in with a knee, then pulls Windham to his feet.  Windy takes the ride.... huge back drop by Aho!  Quick facebuster, and Aho hooks the leg again on the bigger man.  ONE.... TWO.... NO!  Windham gets a foot on the ropes, and quickly hauls himself outside.  But this time, he's got hold of Aho's leg.  He's trying to pull him outside as well!  

SB:  If ya can't beat 'em... kill 'em.  Apparently that's the big 'Awakening.'

BB:  Juarez is ordering Windham to let go, but with no luck.  But Aho catches Windham in the head with his free leg...and Mark gets thrown into the barricade!  (Crowd pop!)

SB:  I told you NOTHING could keep him away!  Do you smell it?

BB:  What are you talking about?

SB:  Do you smell it?  I SMELL SETUP!

(The camera pans to the entryway where Hornet slowly walks out.  He's sporting a bandage on a cut over the right eye from his earlier run-in with the GXW contingent.)

BB:  Hornet's on the stage, and this crowd doesn't know what to make of it!  Windham takes a quick look toward the stage, then turns back towards Aho in the ring.  Aho's taken notice as well. 

SB:  Almost as if Windham doesn't have to wonder what's going on, huh?

BB:  Ever the conspiracy theorist, huh, Sammy?  Hornet's been coming out to ringside for these World Title matches since before Windham's shot was announced.

SB:  It's not as if I dont' have a historical basis for my 'theories,' Buckley.

BB:  That's true enough, I'll give you that.  Windham slides back in the ring, quickly getting Aho's attention.  But Windham fakes for the head, while grabbing Aho's leg and tripping him up.  Elbow drop on the knee....and another!  Aho tries to roll over and power out, but Windham yanks him towards the center of the ring, pulling his leg up and slamming it down knee-first onto the mat.  And one more time.  It looks like Windham has found a body part he wants to work on.

SB:  That's what Sunshine said when they started dating.

BB:  Oh geez.  Windham pulls Aho up, still holding onto that leg.  Windham controlling Aho's movement... ENZIGUIRI!  Huge kick to the back of Windy's head by Aho!  Windham goes down face-first, and Aho quickly hooks in a full nelson on the bigger man.

SB:  Poor slow, dim-witted Windham.

BB:  If he's so dim-witted, why do you think he's concocted some elaborate scheme with Hornet?

SB:  I never said he thought it up!

BB:  Windham's trying to find a way out of the full nelson inside the ring.  He tries to use his height to pull Aho off his feet, but Evan uses his center of gravity to keep the hold locked in.  Windham tries to force Aho toward the ropes, but Aho anticipates and keeps balanced.  On the outside, Hornet has taken a position at the far ringpost to the near-side of the cameras...looks like he's keeping one eye on the ring, and one eye on the stage.

SB:  And one screwjob in his back pocket.

BB:  Windham finally fakes Aho out with a move, and the two go careening toward the ropes.  Aho releases the full nelson, but Windham uses the momentum to send both of them through the upper ropes to the outside.

SB:  And look where they conveniently end up... on the same side as Bugbrain.

BB:  Windham tries to get up first and send Aho into the barricade, but the World Champ leaps onto the apron and kicks Mark away, sending him back to the floor.  Hornet steps him... pulls Windham to his feet, and unceremoniously dumps him back into the ring.

SB:  How kind of him...

BB:  It looks like Aho's taking a moment to send some words Hornet's way.  He doesn't give Hornet a chance to respond... simply pulls Windham to his feet and turns back toward us.  Aho picks up where he left off, hooking in the full nelson.  It looks like Aho simply told Hornet to keep out of the match... Hornet raises his hands and steps back to the corner he was 'guarding.'

SB:  Haven't I been telling Bugbrain the same thing since he started this latest gimmick?

BB:  He started this 'gimmick' when Dan Ryan made his appearance in the CSWA and threatened to go after Evan Aho.  After what we saw from the GXW contingent tonight, I'm glad somebody is down there keeping an eye on things.

SB:  Poor, naive Buckley.  Hornet and Windham conspired for over two years the last time they pulled a stunt...and you don't think they could've set this up over the last six months?

BB:  I never say never, Sammy.  But this time, something just doesn't feel right.

SB:  That's exactly what I'm saying.  And what's HE doing...didn't we have enough of his FemiNazi friend earlier?

BB:  Fans, Eli Flair surprised us with an appearance earlier...and it looks like he's doing it again.  Flair is ambling down to ringside as this match progresses.

SB:  ANOTHER idiot sticking his nose in this match?  That's all we need.

BB:  Inside the ring, Windham finally works his way out of the full nelson and sends Aho reeling with an elbow.  Flair just walked past Hornet and said something... something that obviously didn't make the former Unified Champ real thrilled.

SB:  Probably told him him not to go after Sunshine; after all, he's already hooked up with one of Windham's wives.

BB:  Ex-wife.  Whatever he said, Flair and Hornet are giving each other the evil eye from opposite corners.  Inside, Windham catches Aho on the bounceback with a lariat and hooks the leg!  ONE!  Aho kicks out, and rolls away from a quick elbow attempt by Mark.  Aho to his feet, he hits the ropes and slams into the larger Windham.  But Aho keeps his composure...FACEBUSTER by the CSWA World Champ!  Cover!  ONE..... TWO.... NO!!!  Windham kicks out and quickly rolls outside.  So far, his attempts to goad Aho into a brawl have failed.

SB:  Wait a second... I think I've got this whole thing figured out.  Hornet and Eli have hated each other since the whole ClaimStakers fall-out.... or that's what they want us to think!  IT'S A TRIPLE SETUP!

BB:  And the aliens are making crop circles.

SB:  Didn't you see 'Signs?'  I'm telling you, Buckley!

BB:  Who knows.  What I do know is that Windham is about to get counted out.  He climbs up on the apron, arguing for a moment with referee Manuel Juarez.

SB:  I forgot about Juarez...it's a QUADRUPLE setup!

BB:  Maybe we should start playing that "Close Encounters" theme when you're introduced too, Sammy.

SB:  Just wait, Buckley.  Just wait.

BB:  Windham continues to take his time on the apron, daring Juarez to count him out.  Aho continues to bide his time in the middle of the ring... but it looks like Hornet won't.  He starts making his way around the ring to where Windham's on the apron, but Flair meets him on the other side!

SB:  I'm telling you!

BB:  Windham climbs in the ring, dodging any interference, but Aho almost takes his head off with a clothesline that plants him on the mat.  Windham back to a knee, but Aho hooks him... EXPLODER SUPLEX!  Cover!  ONE.........  TWO......  THRNOOOOOOOOOO!!!  Windham gets a shoulder up at the last possible moment!  Aho drops an elbow and covers again!  ONE..... TWO... NO!  Windham kicks out and sends Aho flying.

(Crowd pop!)

SB:  What in the...

BB:  Sammy, what are you..... fans, former World Champion Joey Melton is standing on the aisleway.  Aho takes notice first, then Windham...but it doesn't affect the two men in the ring.  The two men on the outside, however.... Flair and Hornet are nonplussed, they can't figure out why Melton's watching.

SB:  He's the World Junior Junior Champion, Buckley...he's next in line to be World Champ.  I'm sure he just wants to scout out the competition.

BB:  You mean he's not a part of your huge conspiracy?

SB:  Of course not.  Melton doesn't need conspiracies.

BB:  Melton takes a spot at a corner of his own, watching as Evan Aho hooks in an abdominal stretch on Windham, only to be sloughed off and tossed into the turnbuckle.  Melton gives a 'golf clap' on the outside to Windham, sarcastically.

SB:  Ya gotta love Joey.

BB:  We know, we know, Sammy.  Windham follows in, slamming Aho's head into the top turnbuckle, then turning him around for a series of big right hands by the Texan.

SB:  Juarez better watch out or he's gonna get shoved again.

BB:  Juarez warns Windham about the closed fist, but quickly gets out of the way as Mark pulls Evan out of the corner and sends him all the way across the ring.  Windham follows...huge elbow to the back of the head in the opposite corner.  The World Champ slumps down the mat... but Windham's not done!

SB:  We can still hope, right?

BB:  Mark Windham pulls Aho to his feet in the corner.  He goes for another hard right hand, but Aho blocks it and catches Windy with a knee!  He turned Windham around and puts him in the corner!  IRON CLAW!!!  Out of nowhere, Windham hooks in a move we haven't seen in a long, long time!  Aho immediately buckles to his knees as Windham squeezes the temples.

SB:  It's like he trying to squeeze blood from a stone.  Who does he think he is, Baron von Rascke?  I mean, I can sort of see a family resemblance in a Frankenstein sort-of way.

BB:  Sunshine is on her feet down at ringside along with this capacity crowd.  It seems like an even split as half the fans cheer on the man from Sweetwater, while half begin to clap for the current World Champ to try and break the hold.  Aho goes for the ropes, but Windham uses his leverage to pull Aho back toward the center of the ring and quickly bear back down with the pressure hold.

SB:  Windham's not German, is he?

BB:  Hornet, Flair and Melton look on as referee Manuel Juarez asks Aho if he wants to submit.  Aho responds by reaching up Windham's body, trying to get some leverage.  Aho uses his leg strength to push up dramatically, nailing Windham with a headbutt to jaw!!!

SB:  I would say, "That's using your head," but that'd be the cheap way out, wouldn't it?

BB:  Aho slams Windham back into the corner and monkey flips him out, but Windham kips up and catches Aho with a boot to the throat as he comes off the ropes!  Aho hits the mat hard!

SB:  There's goes another Adam's apple.

BB:  Aho understandably can't catch his wind after the abrupt kick.  Windham quickly follows up with a knee drop to the right leg.  Aho still can't get up.  Windham's got the leg!  FIGURE FOUR!  Mark Windham hooks in the Figure Four leglock, and even takes a look over in Melton's direction as he latches it in!

SB:  Windham better watch it or he's gonna find out why Joey's nickname is 'Arrogance.'

BB:  Aho may not have recovered his voice after that earlier boot to the throat, but he's writhing, trying to find a way out.  You can see the muscles in his legs trying to force out of the hold with no luck.  Juarez gives a quick one-count as Aho goes down on his back to try and alleviate some of the pain.

SB:  So you mean Juarez really does know English?

BB:  You're truly an idiot, aren't you?  Aho goes to a sitting position with his arms behind him, trying to use his arm strength to pull towards the ropes.  The only problem is, not only does he have to pull his own weight, but Windham's as well.  Shut up, Sammy.

SB:  What!?  I didn't say anything!

BB:  It was a pre-emptive 'shut up.'  Anticipatory.

SB:  That's not even a real word, is it?

BB:  Shouldn't you be begging for a beer about now?

SB:  You can tempt me all you want, Buckley, but it won't work.  I'm in a new program now.  I'm testing the new "Alcohol patch."  You know, like those nicotine patches, but better.

BB:  Please, PLEASE tell me you're kidding.

SB:  Not at all.  But they didn't tell me if there was a limit on how many you're supposed to put on.  I've got an open spot left on my back, but I just can't quite reach...

BB:  You're truly, truly not right.

SB:  What's not right is the look on Aho's face right now.

BB:  He's obviously in pain, but he continues to inch his way towards the ropes.  Windham continues to try and ratchet down on the figure four.  Aho lays down on the mat and Juarez checks the shoulders!  ONE..... TWO.....  NO!!!!  Aho reaches out and got his fingertips around the ropes!!  Not only does he break up the pinfall, but Juarez is calling for the leglock break as well!

SB:  Poor little Living X-File.

BB:  Windham's not letting up on the figure four, so Juarez gets physical, trying to pull his legs off of Aho's.  Aho finally extracts himself with Juarez's help and pulls himself to the corner.  The World Champ gets to his feet, but he's favoring that right knee.

SB:  Didn't I tell Juarez to stay out of the way?

BB:  Windham pushes Manny into the far corner, pointing his finger right in Juarez's face.  Juarez slaps it away!

SB:  Manny got a backbone?!  Can it be?  I still say setup!

BB:  Windham reaches back to deliver a right hand, but Aho with a huge dropkick from behind!!!!  It crushes Windham into the corner... but also into Manny!!!  Juarez hits the back of his head on the turnbuckle and goes down!  Meanwhile, Aho pulls Windham out of the corner, hooks his head, and steps over Manny's to nail a Tornado DDT!!!!

SB:  It's time for shenanigans, isn't it?

BB:  Aho goes to pull Windham up, but Windham hooks in and sends him through the bottom two ropes!  Windham quickly rolls out after and starts hammering away on Aho down on the mats at ringside!

SB:  Better watch out, Hornet isn't too far away!

BB:  But it's not Hornet that gets in the way.  Melton delivers a boot to the back of Windham's head, apparently extracting some revenge for Windham's showboating with the Figure Four!  Melton continues to kick away at Windham, but is pulled away by Eli Flair!!!  Flair and Melton exchange words, but not fists, as Melton backs away back toward the corner he's claimed as his own.

SB:  Melton's a smart man.  He got his shots in and doesn't have to pay a dime.

BB:  Aho gets to his feet and quickly rolls back inside the ring, leaving Windham on the outside.  Aho clutches his shoulder just for a second.  He might've hit hard on that already-tender shoulder when Windham pushes him outside.

(Huge crowd pop..AGAIN!)

SB:  YES!  YES!  YES!  It's the man who ended Windham's last run toward the title!  It's the original HURRICANE!

BB:  Eddy Love steps onto the stage as Windham gets to his feet on the outside.  What's your American Idol doing out here, Sammy?

SB:  Cute joke, Buckley.  But to be honest, Eddy could out-sing any of the losers in that competition, especially that guy that looks like Sideshow Bob!  He can do anything!

BB:  So what's he doing out here?

SB:  I don't know, Buckley.  What do I look like, Eddy's psychic friend?

BB:  I'm sure you wish you were.

SB:  I do... I truly do.

BB:  Windham rolls inside as Aho checks on referee Manuel Juarez, who is stirring in the corner.  Eddy Love walks down the rampway, bringing the total of former World Champions on the outside to four... one at each corner.

SB:  But only one that matters.

BB:  Windham pulls Aho away from Juarez, but the champ gives Windham a taste of his own medicine with a hard right hand!  He whips Windy into the ropes, setting up a back drop.  WHOA!!!!  He put Mark up high with the backdrop, then drove his head straight into the mat!!!  There's the cover!!!  But Juarez is still groggy!  He finally rolls over for the count!  ONE..... TWO.... NO!!!!!  Aho had a three-count there, but no one to count it.

SB:  Shades of the past, Buckley.  I'm telling you, Aho's in for a ride.

BB:  Eddy Love laughs and yells something toward those in the ring, but I couldn't make it out.  Aho follows up with a small package!  ONE..... NO!  Windham's in the ropes, but Aho gets to his feet and pulls him away.  STANDING FACEBUSTER!  ONE...... TWO..... THREE!  NO! NO! NO!  WINDHAM GOT THE SHOULDER UP!

SB:  Habla ingles, Buckley?

BB:  But Aho doesn't let his phase him... he backs up into the ropes.  He's up to the second rope as he waits for Windham to get to his feet.  Windy struggles to a vertical base.  THE AGONY!  THE AGONY!  THE AGONY!!!  Evan Aho nails that diving inverted DDT, but doesn't go the pin!   He's setting him up for his finale.... that huge Tiger Driver '91 he calls "The Ecstasy."

SB:  I'll be ecstatic if he just hurries up and finishes Windham off.

BB:  Aho pulls Windham up, gets the double underhook put on.  He pushes Windham up over his head.  NO!  NO!  His shoulder buckled!!!  Both men hit the mat, but Windham delivers a kick right to that hurt right shoulder!  Aho's exposed a weakness, and Windham goes right for it.

SB:  Blast it!  Where are my patches!?

BB:  Windham still trying to recover from that huge DDT, but he gets an arm over Aho!  ONE.... TWO.... NO!  Aho gets his left shoulder up, and quickly rolls as far away from Windham as he can.  But Windham stalks him across the ring.  He grabs hold of Aho's right leg and drops an elbow, going back to the leg he was working on earlier.  Another elbow, and then a quick kneedrop.  Now he sets up for the Figure Four again, but Aho kicks him with the left leg as he spins!!!  Windham gets dumped through the ropes....

SB:  Right at Bugbrain's feet.

BB:  Hornet immediately pulls Windham to his feet.  It looks like he's going to toss Windy back in the ring.

SB:  Who told him this was some sort of lumberjack match?

BB:  But Windham catches him with a huge right hand... and now we've got a brawl on the outside!!!  Hornet and Windham trading punches by the far ring post.  Windham goes for a left hook, but Hornet dodges, and Mark gets nothing but steel!!! Hornet turns Windham around and slams him into the apron.  Manuel Juarez leans through the ropes, trying to restore order, but it's Eli Flair who breaks things up.

SB:  Well, of course it is.  SETUP! SETUP! SETUP!

BB:  Flair pulls Hornet away, then gets shoved for his trouble.  Hornet rolls Windham back inside the ring, then raises his hands at Flair gets in his face.  The two trade some words, but no blows.  But inside, Windham grabs Juarez as he's tossed back in the ring, and the two get tangled up!  

SB:  Well OF COURSE THEY DO!

BB:  Windham tries to get to his feet, catching Juarez with a knee to the face.  Hopefully that was inadvertent, or Juarez may call for the disqualification.  But Aho's at the ready.  Windham gets to his feet and charges, but gets brought down with a neckbreaker!  Aho with the cover!  No ref!  Finally, ONE..... TWO..... NO!!!!!!!!!  Again Juarez is at least a step slow as he recovers from a blow.

SB:  I'm telling you, Buckley... the man needs to be put on a raft with that Elian kid and shipped south.

BB:  That "Elian kid" is already back in Cuba, Sammy.

SB:  Oh really?  Sorry, haven't read my papers in a couple of days.

BB:  IT WAS A YEAR AGO!

SB:  Oh.... I see.

BB:  Aho to his feet.  He pulls Windy up one more time and gets behind him for a german suplex.  Windham ELBOW right to the right shoulder!!!!  Aho buckles!  Windham whips Evan across..... WESTERN LARIAT!!!  Aho hits that shoulder hard again.  Windham grabs the leg and looks up at the fans!  Everyone here is on their Feet!  SHARPSHOOTER!  SHARPSHOOTER!!!!  WINDHAM HOOKS IT IN!!!  RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!  Aho has nowhere to go!  He's clawing the mat, trying to find some sort of handhold to get leverage from as Windham cranks back on the right leg and sits down on the hold.  The pressure has to be killing Aho's  already injured shoulder, plus the leg Windham's been working on.  Juarez is asking Aho if he wants to give it up.

(The crowd noise peaks, with over 100,000 on their feet!)

SB:  Come on kid!

BB:  Aho shakes his head, then tries to bury it into the mat.  Look at these two men.  Every muscle is straining:  Windham as he tries to keep the hold locked in, Aho as every muscle in his body strains to break away from the pain.  Juarez asks... and asks again.  THAT'S IT! 

SB:  Oh blast it!

BB:  THAT'S IT!  Juarez is calling for the bell!  (HUGE crowd pop)  There it is!

RJ:  THE WINNER AND YOUR NEW CSWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONNNNNNN..... "THE LIVING LEGEND" MARK WINDHAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!

BB:  Windham releases the Sharpshooter as Juarez accepts the belt from Rhubarb Jones.  He puts it in Mark Windham's hands and raises his arm!  And here comes Sunshine!  Windham can't believe it!!!  This crowd is clapping as loudly as we've heard all night.  Even Eli Flair's gives a few claps in Windy's direction.  Mark Windham returned at ANNIVERSARY and bent his will to returning to the top.  And defeating a man like Evan Aho.... amazing.  Aho gets to his feet and offers his hand to the new World Champion, and there's the handshake.  Wow, folks, what a night this has been. 

SB:  I'm still waiting for Juarez to say he's just joking.  English, Spanish, Chinese, I don't care... JUST SAY IT!

BB:  Folks, this is one of the all-time great moments in CSWA history! Mark Windham, who has seemingly come back from the darkness he had within, has once again become the top man in this sport! Mark Windham, a man who has been through so much physical and emoti- THE LIGHTS JUST WENT OFF HERE IN SWEETWATER! (The crowd is holding up a bunch of lighters.)

SB: DUCK! The last time this happened here, there was that explosion...

(Up on the giant video wall, there is a lot of television static. Then, there is a sudden burst of noise-WOOOO HOOOOO, followed by the words on the screen... MISTER CSWA. "Song 2" by Blur cues up and the crowd starts to go nuts. A spotlight shines underneath the video wall where TROY WINDHAM-in a neckbrace, hands in casts, walking on crutches, waits, smiling.)

BB: OH MY! OH MY! IT'S HIM! IT'S HIM! TROY WINDHAM'S BACK! AND NOW HE'S MAKING HIS WAY TO RINGSIDE!

SB: TROY! TROY! TROY!

(The crowd is doing exactly what Sammy is doing - TROY! TROY! TROY! Mark, holding his title, is smiling. Eli Flair is smiling. Hornet is shaking his head. Eddy Love is applauding fervently. Troy sees Eddy Love and gives him a huge hug. He then gives a dirty look to Eli Flair and an even dirtier one to Hornet. He climbs up the steps and turns to the crowd and does his old "Q-Dogg" gesture, which is met with great response by the fans. And then, slowly, he climbs into the ring, still limping, and asks for a house mic.)

TROY: Wellll.... (The crowd starts to erupt. Mark is in the back corner, holding his title, as he and Sunshine look on.) guess whose back! Back again! The Boy Troy's back... (Troy turns slowly towards his brother...) SO TELL A FRIEND! (The crowd erupts again as Mark stands up, arms folded.)

BB: Troy Windham's back in a CSWA wrestling ring... and his brother is in there as the CSWA World Champion!  But it's safe to say that relations between Troy and Mark have never been.... well, good.

SB: Worth the price of admission alone!

TROY: Now, I've been laid up the past few months because of my last match... a match against THAT MAN (Troy points to Eli Flair) where we tore each other apart. I needed surgery all over and was told by the doctors that I would never be able to step foot in front of the CSWA fans and cameras ever again. A busted up neck. Nine broken fingers. Two broken wrists. Broken ribs. A major concussion. For the past five months, I've been laid up in a hospital bed, trying to get my life back together...

BB: Everyone remembers that match at ANNIVERSARY... probably the most violent match in CSWA history!

SB: And keep in mind that despite what happened, Troy Windham did not say "I Quit!"

TROY: And since that time, a lot has happened. The GXW, a league that funds its payroll from a check cashing joint outside of Tuscon, Arizona has decided that they want to play with the big boys. The Intruders, made up of two guys who constantly sent me flowers and kept on BEGGING for my cell phone number and another has been whose career I ended years ago, have decided that they want to play with the big boys. And, most importantly... (Troy shoots a look RIGHT at Mark.) My brother returned from nowhere to once again be the biggest boy of them all... the CSWA World Champion.

(The crowd ERUPTS as Mark steps forward.)

MARK: What do you want, Troy?

TROY: Woahwoahwoah, big brother... back off a second, I'm an injured man still! I came out here for a reason, Mark. There's been enough fighting with us and our family for too long. When I was laid up in bed, it made me realize what was TRULY important in this world...

BB: TROY IS STARING AT MARK! AND MARK IS STARING AT TROY! TROY OPENS HIS ARMS UP! MARK OPENS HIS UP! AND THEY EMBRACE! THE WINDHAM FAMILY FEUD IS OVER!

(Flashbulbs POP! As Troy and Mark embrace for the first time in their careers. And then...)

SB: HAHAHA!

BB: NO! NO! NO! TROY JUST SLACKKNIFED HIS BROTHER! TROY JUST TURNED ON HIS BROTHER! TROY RIPS OFF THE NECK BRACE AND IS HOPPING UP AND DOWN LIKE MAD! THIS WAS ALL A CUNNING RUSE!

(On the outside, Eddy Love begins to cheer, while Hornet simply shakes his head and walks away.)
