We open up backstage to see Latino Diablo getting stomped into the concrete by Dave Tanner. Tanner grabs a chair and starts smashing LD up with it in the head back and legs over and over again.

Dave Tanner: Latino! That high risk title is going around MY waist at Wrestle Palooza...UNDERSTAND!?

LD: NO!

Tanner starts stomping him some more before leaning down and untying the mask. Diablo starts fighting back like crazy til Dave hits him in the face with the chair again. Tanner starts untying the mask again until out of nowhere Haywire runs into the scene and pushes Tanner away then pulls a hammer off the table behind him sitting next to a tool box.

Tanner: Next time mind your business freak show.

To say Summer dominated this match would be like saying the sky is blue. Summer threw Serenity and Morgan Cain around like some crazy Mongoloid King Kong bent on world domination. Summer wants to prove to Dante that she can hang with him in Team DOA. Summer hit a couple solid suplexes, and pretty much outshined the two number one contenders. That's ownage. In the end Summer hits the Summer Breeze on Morgan cain, and winds up with the win over the Hart girl. After the pin, she snatches a mic up.

Summer: "Is this not proof enough, Dante? I just kicked the living shit out of Bret Hart's little girl. You were in the Hart's Dungeon. Does it not get clearer than this? Who the Hell cares what Nikki has to say? I deserve to be in Team DOA because well... if you need a better reason without me saying it... just rewind the damn TiVo."

The reigning Championess showed off just why she is the reigning Championess, because she rocks. Rain slapped Rorie around like a red-headed step child while watching the little orphan Annie. Danica showed some fight, hitting a good lariat, and then a suplex on Rorie. But after that it became the Rain show once again as Rain hit the Short Out on Rorie. She got the 1 2 3 soon after, and it didn't look like she was done. She picked Rorie up again, and hit the Short Out a couple more times. Then all of a sudden Tyna runs out to try to save the day, and send a message to the Championess. Tyna is battling Rain, then suddenly an unfamiliar theme hits.

Joey: "Who is this?"

Trunks: "Sounds like the song I did your mom to last night."

After Sean's match, and realizing he lost it, he goes completely nuts on Phantom. Well he doesn't put his nuts on Phantom, get your mind out of the gutter. The two are brawling backstage, and Sean is really beating on Phantom.

Sean: "YOU... SON... OF...A... BITCH!"

Sean is pummeling PHantom, he throws him into some equipment, and jumps on him afterwards. Pretty much making all the stage-hand pissed because him and some really big guy are breaking all their really expensive crap that they always put at convient places.

Sean: "YOU WANNA SCREW ME OUT OF A MATCH? HUH?"

Phantom: "SHUT UP YOU MORON, YOU DECIDED TO JUMP OUTTA THE RING... *PUNCH* AT ME!"

Phantom pushes Sean off of him, jumps up, and as Sean is running at him, Sean catches the wrong end of Phantom's boot. But that doesn't stop Sean from getting up, and going right back at Phantom. Soon enough security is there, and the Jerm pops up too.

Jerm: "I swear if you two don't stop wrecking things backstage, you'll both be fired!"

Phantom snarls at the Jerm who jumps back, and pees himself a little.

Phantom: "I suggest calling your stooges off me so I can end one little dumbasses life tonight."

Sean: "VICE VERSA!"

The two shred off the security, and start beating the ever living Christ/Anarchism out of each other. Soon enough more security shows up, and the Jerm is really hot under the collar!

Jerm: "THAT'S IT! ONE MORE PUNCH AND YOU'RE BOTH FIRED, AND THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET HIRED BACK IN IS IF YOU ACCEPT A CONTRACT AS TONY RICH'S ENTOURAGE!"

Both of them stop, and look at the Jerm.

Jerm: "Sean... leave the building before I call Vex. Phantom, you best clean that blood off your lower lip, because you're facing Ryan. And if you don't murder him, you'll be Vex' bitch!"

Phantom: "If you ever say something like that again, I'll kill you, and your entire family."

Sean: "Now that's something I can actually agree with Spalding."

After Sean and Phantom brawl it out, possibly wearing the monster down, the match begins. Ryan starts the match off strong, using his unkempt anger as a weapon, sending the beast known as Phantom down to the mat multiple times. Ryan hits a couple of high impact moves, a solid fisherman suplex, a dragon suplex, and then hitting THA SCORE out of no where. Phantom had some pretty good moves too, reversing one of Ryan's suplex attempts into a huge body slam, hitting a huge decapitating clothesline, and then a powerbomb after a hurricaranna attempt from Ryan. Nearing the end of the match, Ryan was looking for the Zero kick... until the lights went out!

Kewl: "What the?"

Trunks: "JOEY JUST PISSED HIMSELF!"

The lights turned back on right as Phantom hit the Carbomb, and pins. The fans say no while the ref says yes! One... two... three! Ryan Cain loses to Phantom? Suddenly the lights go out again, and some pretty effed up crap begisn to happen. The lights start flashing all sorts of colors until "King Nothing" hits over the speakers. The fans boooooo. What they don't notice is that Ryan is hanging above the mat with strings attached to his arms and limbs! NED walks down the ramp, mocking Ryan as he hangs like a puppet. NED snatches the mic from Binkle's hand, and raises it up.

NED: "You see people! You see! This man is your hero, and yet here he is dangling by strings. MY strings! He is the puppet, and I am the puppet master. I can make him dance..."

The strings start moving up and dance, and Ryan does some weird version of the Charleston.

Trunks: "He really sucks at dancing!"

Kewl: "..."

NED gets into the ring now, and looks at Ryan being made a fool of. The fans really don't like this.

NED: "And just by one swift move, I can cut the strings, and make him just another useless... worthless... toy."

The strings snap, and Ryan crumbles to the mat. NED kneels down, and looks at Ryan.

NED: "You're no hero, Ryan. You're a tool - my tool. And next week at Wrestlepalooza, the Master himself will cast the puppet boy into the whale's stomach. But the puppet won't become a real boy. No, because I'm gonna blow that whale a new blowhole, and Ryan's going with it. So you fan's can have your jeers while they last, you can boo me. But after Palooza, I'll still have the World Championship around my waist. That's reality, Ryan. That's the jagged reality."
