We go to a SOLD OUT US Century Bank Arena in Miami as Christopher Daniels comes out with The Group who are all dressed in white suits to deafening chants of "FALLEN ANGEL! *clap clap clap clap clap*" Daniels grabs a mic.
Daniels: You know, I originally had this grand speech planned about how I founded The Prophecy because I didn't believe that honor existed in wrestling. I was going to tell you about how I found myself going from territory to territory, and that whether you booed me or cheered me I was still in a dark place.....but *turns to look at the entrance* you just had to go and cut that promo on Friday didn't you Kyle? You brought up the name of one of the greatest and most underrated professional wrestlers that ever laced up a pair of boots; someone who LITERALLY GAVE HIS LIFE FOR THIS BUSINESS, AND YOU TREATED HIM LIKE SOME NO NAME GREEN JOBBER THAT WAS WRESTLING BECAUSE HE LOST A BET WITH HIS FRIENDS AFTER GETTING DRUNK AT A PARTY. *Crowd starts chanting for Owen* DO YOU HEAR THAT KYLE? I KNOW YOU'RE IN THE BACK SO UNPLUG YOUR LITTLE IPOD, STOP TOUTING YOURSELF ON TOUT, CREATING INSIGNIFICANT HASHTAGS ON TWITTER, OPEN UP YOU (BLEEP!)ING EARS AND LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE! They are chanting for someone who had more wrestling ability in the first knuckle of his left pinky than some of us will ever have in our entire bodies. He bled this business and he got taken away from us far too young; AND YOU DISRESPECTED HIM LIKE YOU HAVE DISRESPECTED EVERYONE SINCE YOU WON THAT TITLE. You then have the audacity to go and credit YOURSELF for my return and allegiance with The Group? How dare you be so pompous and arrogant. A few months ago, when I was interviewed by South Beach owner Howard Schilling, I was hell bent on retiring; and it wasn't because I was crucified on live television by you and some of the very men I trusted so long ago. It was because I was ashamed of myself for all that I had done to one of my best friends in the whole world: The South Beach Champion and one of THE BEST MEN in the business today, Low Ki. I couldn't come back to this business as a person I despised after all the hurt I caused. *Points at The Group* Then a few weeks ago, these guys right here flew out to Los Angeles on their own dime and found me. I'm not going to lie to you folks, I was a mess. They asked me if I was sorry for all the evil I caused to this great industry. They asked me if I was or thought I could ever be at peace. When I shook my head they told me that the only way I could truly be peaceful was if I came back and repented my sins. *points to the curtain* To everyone in the back that I have crossed, and especially to you Brandon, I am truly sorry. I am not asking you to forgive me and I know that I will have to endure a lot of penance, *gets on his knees* but I am begging each and every one of you to give me a chance to prove that I can change. That's all I'm asking, and I know that's probably more than I deserve."
The fans chant for the South Beach Champ to come out but instead Bully Ray's music hits and he comes out flanked by Devon and Kaz. Bully's holding a mic as the Fox 7 censors ready their fingers on the *BLEEP!* button.
Bully: LOOK AT OUR FAWLEN ANGEL...AWN HIS KNEES LIKE A *BLEEP* READY TO S*BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP* OF THE WORLD CHAMP TO GET A TITLE SHAWT. *Joe and Gargano go to leave the ring but Daniels holds them back* NOW LISTEN HERE YOU GEEZER, LAST WEEK I SHOWED THAT FAT *BLEEP!* KEVIN STEEN WHY I AM THE BIGGEST BULLY AWN THE PLAYGROUND AND IT LOOKS LIKE I'M GONNA HAVE TO BEAT IT INTO YOU TONIGHT! Y-
JBL's music hits as everyone starts looking REALLY confused.
JBL: Look at ya Chris. You had everything in the world. You had control of South Beach, your pick of the finest ladies in the NWA and what happened? You had an attack of conscience. Now instead of three brothers watching your back you got four sugar daddies that aren't even allowed within 50 miles of New York, two of them have to reside in Jersey and delude themselves into believing that they're New Yorkers. You're not a real man anymore Daniels and to prove it, our main event tonight is going to be you and big Bully Ray. You descended from the heavens last week Daniels, be prepared to get sent to hell. *starts laughing*

Back from break and we get recap of Adam Cole turning on his partner Kyle O'Reilly and then announcing the creation of The Florida Key to be fought for at the 1st anniversary show inside an elimination chamber. Howard E. tells us that he has agreed to have the match, with the final five spots being decided on this show and the next one. We head to the ring for our first match and Adam Cole is sitting at the announce table as he is getting a bye into the chamber.
Match Number 1: PAC vs. Rocky Romero (Elimination Chamber qualifier)
This match went back and forth with both men wanting the opportunity to wrestle for the Florida Key. PAC would eventually hit a Red Arrow for a well fought victory.
Winner: PAC
PAC celebrates in the ring as the crowd cheers but Davey Richards sneaks into the ring and attacks him from behind! The crowd boos as Romero gets up and the two start beating down PAC. Richards signals for The Contract Killer but before Richards can get PAC set up Amazing Red comes down and starts brawling with Rocky! Red and Rocky start battling outside the ring but that leaves PAC defenseless as Richards hooks both arms......DR DRIVER II! Davey has little time to look over his handiwork when The Unbreakables come down! Davey and Rocky escape through the crowd still smiling as Strong and Elgin bark angrily at them from the ring while Red goes to check on his fallen partner.

We come back and The Group is in the back talking about what happened on Hybrid Pro TV last week.
Gargano: You ready for this tonight Chris? *Daniels nods* I know that you asked for forgiveness from everyone, and while I can't speak for the rest of the NWA; know that the three men in this room as well as myself believe that you have changed. We have forgiven you; and while you may be able to get everyone else to forgive you, you won't be ready to face Kyle unless you forgive yourself. You need to have that inner peace that only comes from knowing thyself inside and out. Do you have that? *Daniels looks questioningly up at Johnny who shakes his head sadly* Hopefully you can achieve a little more of that tonight. Speaking of that, you know Bully almost better than anyone; do you want us to come down to ringside tonight as backup?
Daniels: As much as I trust all of you and thank you for forgiving me, I have to right some wrongs and it can only come by doing things by myself. That being said; if Kaz, Devon, or anyone from The Prophecy look to interfere then come down to help. Johnny you're right, I haven't totally forgiven myself for all I've done since Christmas Chaos. Tonight I start my path to redemption. *Turns to the All Night Express* You two are one of the best young tag teams in the NWA and you know better than anyone what it feels like to be humbled don't you? *ANX nod and grin at each other* Tonight you face off with Michael Elgin and Roderick Strong. If you win, you could possibly find your own path to redemption and reclaim the South Beach Tag Titles. Good luck tonight my friends. *Turns to Joe* Joe, you will be facing off with Dan Maff tonight. He is a formidable opponent, but you have gone to war with tough men as well....including myself if memory serves me correctly *Joe smirks*. Give everything you have and you'll be fine. Johnny, you have a tough task of your own as you will be facing Paul London. As Joe can tell you, this man has lost more than one screw since his feud with Bryan Danielson started. I ask that you be careful tonight. Let us show The Prophecy what we are truly made of and make Kyle Matthews regret bringing up the name of Owen Hart on Thursday.

Back from commercial and we have Wade Barrett in the ring for our next match.
Match Number 2: Wade Barrett (w/Damien Sandow) vs. Kenny Omega (Elimination Chamber Qualifier)
Wade looked a little shocked at finding out who his opponent was and it showed as Omega's speed had the big Brit flummoxed the entire match with Omega fighting like his very livelyhood was on the line. Eventually "The Intellectual Savior of the Masses" and Barrett's tag team partner, Damien Sandow, would make his prescence felt as he distracted the ref after Omega hit a Kitaro Krusher and was signaling for Croyt's Wrath. The distraction would allow Barrett to regain his senses, low blow Omega, and hit Wasteland for the cheap victory over Kenny as the crowd boos.
Winner: Wade Barrett
After the match Sandow gets in the ring to congratulate his partner and raises his hand in victory. Barrett goes to gloat in the corner but Sandow still has hold of his hand and yanks while grabbing at the other hand and locking Wade in the Chains....PATH TO ENLIGHTENMENT! What in the hell is this about? Sandow gets right in Barrett's face and says "I am tired of carrying you; you slackjawed mouthbreather. YOU'RE WELCOME!". Sandow makes an extravagant little bow and follows up with a Cubito Aequet to Barrett before leaving to a chorus of boos. Howard and Matt wonder what has happened to the state of the once vibrant tag team division in South Beach.
We go to a vignette for Fall Brawl where the only match so far announced for the card (The finals of the Heavyweight Grand Prix in NWA Northwest) is highlighted as well as the ominous wondering as to whether or not there will even be an NWA around by the time October 20th rolls around.
Match Number 3: The All Night Express (Kenny King and Rhett Titus) vs. The Unbreakables (Roderick Strong and Michael Elgin)
Both teams came out to nice reactions and the crowd was pretty evenly split on who they were cheering for. The ANX kept trying to push the pace to try and tire out Elgin and it mostly worked...but The Canadian Crazy Horse has that special gear that few can go into and he would unleash it out of desperation by absolutely bulldozing his way through both King and Titus before making a desperation tag to Roderick. These men left it all on the line but before a definitive winner could be decided, The NRC as well as Jack Swagger and D'Angelo Dinero of the Prophecy would interrupt the match causing the ref to throw this one out.
Result: No Contest
After the match; members from all four factions would come out and this thing just broke down with security swarming the ring trying to restore order. JBL would come out at the top of the ramp and said that next week we would have an 8 man tag match with the All Night Express teaming with The Unbreakables to square off with The No Remorse Corps, Jack Swagger and D'Angelo Dinero! A sea of humanity tries to keep the 8 men apart from one another as we head to commercial.
Back from commercial and Wade Barrett is in the back with Joseph Park
Barrett: Damien I don't know why you turned your back on me, but I can guarantee you that it's going to be the worst mistake of your life. Kenny Omega, I'd like to put my Elimination Chamber spot on the line against you next week on South Beach TV. One on one and may the best man win. Park looks a little flustered and sends it back to the ring for our fourth match of the evening.
Match Number 4: NWA Hybrid Pro Heavyweight Champion Dan Maff vs. Samoa Joe
Dan Maff is a huge guy and Joe is no slouch himself and while both men are technically sound in the ring, nobody was trying for a hold in this match. Both men went at each other with stiff strikes. The ref would have to step in multiple times and issue warnings but neither man gave a damn. Eventually the ref declared this a double DQ but both men continued to ignore the ref and battled throughout the arena. The ref looks over at the announce table and Howard E. just shrugs his shoulders as if to say "What can you do?".
Result: Double DQ
Before the announcers can release the result of JPPs Summer Sevens iPPV they're cut off by a weird jumbling of images that ends with a rocking chair rocking back and forth in the middle of a room with someone singing Mary had a Little Lamb in a REALLY creepy way. What the hell?
Match Number 5: South Beach Champ Low Ki vs.?
Low Ki comes down with a mic and he is dressed for action here tonight.
Ki: *Fans start chanting "FORGIVE DANIELS! FORGIVE DANIELS!" and Ki looks sadly at the crowd* I'm sorry but I can't do that. Christopher, what you did back in December hurt me so deeply it felt like part of my body was amputated. You were my brother, someone I have traveled thousands of miles with and had a library full of outstanding matches against....and you sold all of that friendship away for one last chance at glory. Was I angry when The Prophecy crucified you? Of course I was, but that didn't stop me from noticing the irony. You came back dressed in white last week alongside good men such as Gargano and Joe, stopped a cult of thugs who operate without honor from burning the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and all is supposed to be forgiven? I told you months ago and it holds true today, I cannot forgive you for what you have done to not only myself but this industry.
The crowd murmurs....not really a boo but it seems like they are trying to understand the gravity of the situation when Kaz comes out holding a mic and a box of tissues.
Kaz: O.M.G! That was the....most pathetic segment I think I have ever heard in my life. I didn't know the young and the restless was on! *crowd boos* I didn't know whether to bring you some tissues or some tampons because the way you're acting I think you might be at LEAST a week late. Look at you, you're retaining water! Luckily enough I have a way that you can work off those extra pounds before you put them right back on when you start baking cookies for your adopted children because no woman or man will touch you *Low Ki is looking at Kaz with an intense fury and it looks like he's going to snap*. You see I talked to JBL and he spared no expense for your opponent tonight. Hailing from Japan's Independent Union: OVERDOSE!
*The arena goes black and when the lights come on Overdose is behind Ki. Kaz tells Overdose to poison him mind, body and soul and leaves the ring as the bell sounds.*
Match Number 5: South Beach Champ Low Ki vs. Overdose
For those of you unfamiliar with Overdose's work in Independent Union, to say that his style is unorthodox is a wild understatement and he had Low Ki on the ropes early. They ended up having a pretty good match with Kaz watching from the top of the ramp. Ki would lock Overdose in the ropes and set for Warrior's Wrath but Kaz finally made his presence felt as he rushed down to ringside and started taunting the champ. The distraction allowed the almost inhuman Overdose to claw out of the tree of woe and hit a HUGE superplex. Overdose would pop right up as Ki struggled to get to his knees.....GLIMMERING WARLOCK! OVERDOSE CONCUSSED KI! Overdose would then cover for the three count and a MONUMENTAL upset as Kaz laughed at ringside.
Winner: Overdose
Post match Kaz would grab the South Beach Title and enter the ring as Overdose brought out a scroll. Kaz picked Low Ki and told Overdose to spray Ki with the Black Mist! Just as it looked like that was going to happen Black Ninja would run down to make the save! Ninja knows just how damaging that mist can be and just saved the South Beach champ from possible permanent blindness. Ninja picks Ki up and raises his hand as Overdose and Kaz slowly back up the ramp and we head to commercial.
*commercial*
After commercial Howard E. and Matt make a joke about production problems and we head to the ring for our next match.
Match Number 6: Johnny Gargano vs. "The Whole Me-Bang" Paul London?
The former NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion comes out to a standing ovation as the announce team puts over how Gargano found redemption after being booted from TOXIC and formed The Group to battle The Prophecy. "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" hits and out comes Paul London....and WHAT IS THAT IDIOT WEARING? Paul London has done some crazy things, both in and out of a wrestling ring but this one has to take the cake. London is wearing cat's pajamas with bees on the knees.......and the crowd doesn't know whether to boo or laugh. London's mocking knows no bounds apparently and the ref tells Paul to take off the costume, but Paul shakes his head "No". Is he REALLY going to wrestle in cat's pajamas? The bell rings and apparently he will as they go at it. These guys are highly skilled artists in the ring and London's onset of madness added a different color to the palate that they used to paint this match. The announcers took a page out of Joey Styles' book and found it fitting that the mat is made of canvas as these men told a great story inside the squared circle, countering each other seamlessly and getting the crowd on the edge of their seat. Eventually The Prophecy would make their voices heard for what seemed like the umpteenth time tonight and it allowed London to bring a chair into the ring.
Announce team: Isn't the chair Matthew's weapon of choice? Can Kyle sue for gimmick infringement? Would he?
London would low blow Gargano and it a facebuster on the chair, rolling Johnny over and putting the chair on his chest and signaling for London Calling! Just as London looked to end the match The Group, minus Daniels, would come out to battle their foes and the distraction would allow Gargano to slip out from under the chair! London waves off the distraction and goes for London Calling and gets nothing but chair! Gargano slips the chair out of the ring! HURTS DONUT! COVER! EXCLAMATION POINTS AND ALL CAPS ALL AROUND! ONE! TWO! THREE! GARGANO WINS!
Winner: Johnny Gargano
Post match Gargano strips the pajamas off of London leaving him in his tighty whities and waves the pajamas over his head like a trophy as we get a replay of the promo that Matthews cut on the latest episode of Hybrid Pro TV. We go to a split screen of Daniels and Bully Ray walking in the back. Our main event....is NEXT!
*Commercial*
Back from commercial and Howard E. is in the ring for our main event to do introductions.
Main Event: "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels vs. "Wrestling's Biggest Bully" Bully Ray
Bully enters first to a chorus of boos and interestingly enough nobody is out with him. Daniels enters next and the crowd goes absolutely UNHINGED.
Howard: Ladies and gentlemen; this bout, scheduled for one fall, is your main event of the evening. Introducing first standing in the corner to my left; he stands six feet four inches tall and weighs in tonight at three hundred twenty-six pounds. Hailing from Hell's kitchen in New York City, BUUUUUUUUUUULLLLY RAAAAAAAAAAY!
*Crowd boos hard but immediately starts cheering at an almost deafening pitch as soon as Howard gestures to his right*
Howard: Now, his opponent. Standing in the corner to my right; he stands 6 feet tall and weighs in tonight at two hundred twenty-seven pounds. Coming to us from the City of Angels, he is "THE FALLEN ANGEL" CHRRRRRISTOPHERRRRRRR DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANIELS!
Howard leaves the ring as the crowd hasn't stopped chanting "Fallen Angel". The bell can barely be heard ringing as the match gets underway. The early part of this match would remind you a lot of Hulk Hogan vs Sting from Starrcade 1997 as the announcers wondered just how much ring rust Daniels would have against the powerful Bully Ray. Bully dominated the early part of this match and it seemed like he was going to rout "The NWA's last hope", but Daniel's is a fighter who is driven by a dual purpose: to gain inner peace for the wrongs he has committed and to earn back the trust of one of his best friends in the business. Bully kept asking where the real Christopher Daniels was and persistently trash talked but eventually enough was enough as Daniels started his comeback with fire in his eyes. Daniels would fire back with forearms that rocked the big man. This match went back and forth with Daniels feeding off the crowd whenever it looked like he was starting to weaken. Christopher would have Bully in position for Last Rites but KAZ would come down to the ring for the distraction! Kaz would get up on the apron and start jawing with Chris as the ref tried to separate them but Low Ki would come down and pull Kaz off the apron! Kaz and Ki are battling at ringside as the ghost of a smile flashes over Daniels' face. He turns around....BULLY CUTTER! NOT LIKE THIS! ONE! TWO.......AND A KICK OUT AND A KICK OUT! Daniels gets up unsteadily to his feet as Bully looks shocked at what's happened and signals to the back as Devon comes down but HE is attacked by the new South Beach TV Champ Kevin Steen! THE CAVALRY IS HERE AND BULLY CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Daniels is openly smiling now as he initiates the offense against his one time friend and tag team partner. Bully looks discombobulated by everything that has happened and Daniels has him hooked! There is chaos at ringside as DANIELS HITS THE ANGEL'S WINGS! DANIELS CONNECTED WITH ANGEL'S WINGS! COVER! ONE! TWO......THREE! DANIELS DID IT! DANIELS DID IT!
Winner: "THE FALLEN ANGEL" CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!
Daniels is in tears as the ref raises his hand but Chris pulls away as order is being restored. Daniels goes over to the ropes and asks Low Ki to come in and he does. While Ki gets in the ring; The Prophecy, with NWA World Heavyweight Champion Kyle Matthews at the front comes out to the entrance ramp. Daniels extends his hand to the South Beach champ and the crowd is chanting "YES!" repeatedly at the top of their lungs. Low Ki just stares at Daniels' hand and Matthews mouths to Daniels "You can change the color of your clothes but you can't change who you really are inside". South Beach TV ends with Daniels and Low Ki in the middle of the ring with neither man moving. See you next week folks and we'll try to make sure there are no technical delays.
. I can't say enough good things about this show really, its one of your best imo.
