** BACKSTAGE INTERLUDE **
(Intro)
President Lewis caught in his office on a VERY ANGRY phone call. Apparently, a deal for an ESPN TV slot went south when old rival Paul Bowser of all people swooped in to grab it. Lewis is swearing and cussing up a storm, claiming this changes the complexion of everything! Nobody crosses the boss of all bosses and lives to tell about it! A few more ominous death threats from Lewis before he slams the phone down. He speaks tersely to VP Toots Mondt - “they said we were a hostile territory… tonight, let’s show them what that *really* means…” Mondt nods knowingly and the cameras quickly cut and scatter as Lewis & Mondt exit for the show…

Commentators welcome us to the show and review Stranglers chilling words. This is an XPW Remixed SUPERSHOW chock-full of Fantasy Wrestling dream matches! And this just in from the Presidents office - every match will be contested under XTREME CIRCUMSTANCES! What that can only mean is certainly dire and ominous, just like the Strangler himself! Let’s get right to the action with a WELCOME HOME PARTY for the greatest managerial mind in the Territory Wars today! But first, some words from the unlikely tag team dynamo of Lou Thesz & John Cena - as they continue their march though the Tag Team Valkyrie series! MSD, take it away!

LOU THESZ: Roy was a fair wrestler and good performer. He must have been performing when he told that story. I was always considerate of the transportion crunch. Roy was a good guy and always gave the fans their money's worth. As one of the Kangaroos, with Al Costello, they were the best team I ever saw. The sad thing about text, and it happens here, too, is the "tongue in cheek" doesn't transfer to paper. Al Costello was a very good wrestler and a fine human being. The Kangaroos are my favorite tag team of all time - the most exciting, the most knowledgeable, and innovative. Truly legends! It will be my honor to defeat them here tonight...

FABULOUS KANGAROOS (w/ Berry)
vs.
w/
Show opens for triumphant TV entrance of the FabKangs (complete procession with drummer & flag bearer) and returning manager Wild Red Berry. He takes the mic for a thesaurus-laden monologue; cursing the state of the XPW Remixed division and promising to return it to an era of glory with his tag team. But instead - his rant is met head on by the rousing entrance of JOHN CENA - who proceeds to cut Berry to ribbons on the mic with a spontaneous rap freestyle!
JOHN CENA
The list of legends that held the title now inclues me, bro...
I'll be a better champion than Bruno Sammartino/
This is thuganomics, I got opponents home in crutches
I'm Iron like the Sheik, I got you in my camel clutches/
I lost my mind like Mankind, pulling socks from his ass crack
I'm straight - you're Dude Love - so get off the Cactus, Jack.../
Berry is flabbergasted, embarrassed and infuriated - giving the signal for the FabKangs beat down. The bell rings and the former tag team champions go to town on Cena - until the explosive delayed-entrance of his partner XPW WORLD champion Lou Thesz! Match formula sets in with Cena playing face-in-peril, and speculation from the announcers on whether Thesz will even accept the tag - or ditch Cena like Sid did Hogan in 92. But Thesz does indeed get the hot tag - and the individual superstar auras of Thesz & Cena combined are great enough to swallow even the greatest tag team experts. In the end, Wild Red Berry winds up for a swing of the cane to John Cena’s head - but Lou Thesz catches him at the last moment… leaving Lou Thesz suspiciously holding a cane like a weapon as Cena turned around. Only to have Cena pull Lou out of the way at the last moment to catch FabKang #1 Al Costello with a surprise FUAA in the middle of the ring! STF to Berry from Thesz! Cena pins Costello! The XPW Remixed WORLD and BOSTON champions triumph!
Winners: CENA & THESZ
Post match - Taru & Big Daddy Voodoo (the VOODOO MURDERS) run in and attack their PPV opponents... actually, they specifically attack John Cena - including a massive 500 lb+ splash from Big Daddy V to Cena's damaged rib area. Then - suprisingly - they approach champion Lou Thesz (recovering from his post match mini-brawl with FabKangs)... and *BOW* before him!? Thesz shirks away warily as Taru just smiles crookedly and offers his hand... Lou Thesz doesn't accept - just grabs his World title belt and limps back with the trainers (favoring his neck). Meanwhile - the Voodoo Murders are last team left standing! They meet Thesz & Cena (what's left of them) @ "REDEMPTION!" *IF* Cena & Thesz can get it together long enough to co-exist!

MSD is backstage with Onita to get some answers on what just transpired. In the background - his Voodoo Murders lurk menacingly… Onita praises Lou Thesz as a “great man” like himself - and unlike John Cena which is why he must be taught a lesson in RESPECT. All through the interview, Combat Toyoda has been leering uncomfortably at MSD and making googly eyes at him. MSD is clearly disturbed but tries to go on with the questioning, until the topic of Toyoda’s match with Kong tonight comes up (Exploding Ring Ropes match for the XPW Remixed woman’s title!) Onita speaks on her behalf promising doom and gloom, as she keeps flirting with MSD in creepy, scary fashion. When she says something in Japanese and slaps his ass, he screams like a girl and runs away. Onita and everybody laugh as they toast to their championship futures…

Samoa Joe on a tear. He angrily barges into Toots Mondt office (where he is meeting with Dino Bravo). Joe cuts an intense promo in Mondt’s face, even swiping everything off his desk. Joe says Strangler is seeking competition? Then sign Samoa Joe up! Joe vs. Strangler @ “REDEMPTION”! Dino Bravo rises up into Joe’s face and confrontation seems imminent… until Bravo just smirks and says “make sure you get paid first”. Joe storms out of the office, and Mondt tells Dino Bravo go to his Laval, Quebec home and await a delivery from him…
EPILOGUE: Dino Bravo was murdered in his Canadian mansion by a gunman who sprayed him with bullets. 17 shell casings were found at the scene, 7 of which found their way into Bravo's skull.

SABLE (1998) versus MILDRED BURKE (1948)
(Bikini Brawl)
versus
Competive match with the bitchy, arrogant Barbie Doll playmate Sable taking on the Prohibition-era hard-nosed grit of Mildred Burke (including a couple of stiff forearm shots to Sable’s pretty little chin and nose). Sable gets off at least one dirty gyration on Burke, before going down in a fiery heap. Sable-bomb attempt reversed into an airtight arm-triangle from Burke. Within a few moments (and an excruciating torque of the body) Sable taps out in submission. Mildred Burke does it again. In her post match speech she shouts out training partner Ronda Rousey on being the 1st - (and so far *only*) - woman to sign with the UFC. Mildred Burke is going straight to the top, and will rule fantasy wrestling like Rousey rules MMA.
Winner (by submission): MILDRED BURKE

Dominant performance by XPW Remixed Woman’s champion Awesome Kong in route to victory. Violent clash punctuated by the “explosion” of the ring ropes (more loud flash and smoke than anything). But it’s a hard hitting, Japanese strong-style match from these two monsters that keeps both woman looking tough. Commentators question whether there is anybody willing to challenge Kong, or if she cleared out the division… when through the hazy smoke of the entrance ramp - a figure emerges…
Winner (and STILL XPW Remixed Woman’s champion): AWSOME KONG
The silhouette emerges at the mouth of the entrance ramp with a bad-ass strut. It’s MILDRED BURKE! In a downright chill-inducing promo, Burke calls out Kong with the weight of a dozen generations behind her! Burke has no fear - nothing holding her back - and nothing to lose! XPW President Strangler Lewis himself has already made the match official for “REDEMPTION”! Kong and Burke have a tense stare down from across the arena while the crowd is electric over the announcement. Huge news!

”Boss of all Bosses” Strangler Lewis is in no mood to play.

As for Samoa Joe’s complaints of being blackballed - Ed Lewis accepts his challenge! But he ups the ante like only he can. If Samoa Joe wins the match he gets a title shot anytime/anywhere/against anybody… but if he *LOSES* he’s *FIRED* from XPW Remixed!

JACK BRISCO (1975) © versus ALBERTO DEL RIO (2012)
(Submission Only Match)
versus w/
ADR has been on a tear since losing the XPW World title to Lou Thesz, and trying to prove himself the “Apex Predator” of XPW Remixed. His pursuits have brought him to the top of the Television title heap - only to come crashing back to earth after colliding with Planet Brisco. In twin pre-match promos, ADR is Cartel leader-cool and Jack Brisco the gracious (yet confident) down home champion who has been forced to the brink by ADR & Rodriguez’ cheating antics. They both pushed to have this match be “Submission Only” (and we get video reviews of each mans finishing move of doom - the arm breaker and Figure-4 leglock). This championship rematch picks up where the last series of matches left off - with an increasing array of counters as each man is more familiar with the others attack mode. Del Rio is a better striker and Rodriguez offers ample distraction opportunities. But when Brisco’s blood starts boiling watch out! Rodriguez winds up incapacitated from an errant ADR chair shot - and it takes a Ringpost Figure-4 to finally get Del Rio to scream uncle! Brisco has done it! The TV Title hot potato stops here! Or does it…??
Winner (and STILL XPW Remixed TV champion): JACK BRISCO
Post match - we get a run in and attack by... Matt Morgan and Nature Boy Buddy Rogers! That's right! Superhuman display of strength from Morgan as he lays out Brisco on the mat! Rogers hands the TV belt to Morgan and it's clear he has his eyes set on being champion! Buddy Rogers announces it himself - match game set and sealed - Brisco vs Morgan for the TV title @ "REDEMPTION"!!
** CUT **
”Words from the XPW TV champion”
Backstage correspondent MSD catches up with Brisco in the trainers room to get some clarification on what we just saw with the Matt Morgan attack…
MSD: There are some people on the internet that say the TV has been hotshotted too many times, and that Matt Morgan doesn’t deserve a title shot…
JACK BRISCO: You are absolutely right and the next time I own a territory I want you as my booker. Let me know what the card would be for the Georgia Dome using the GA boys..
MSD: But this ain’t Georgia, it’s XPW Remixed and it’s dangerous ground. Any truth to the rumor your matches with Del Rio crossed the line?
JACK BRISCO: There were a few times but overall good sportsmanship.
MSD: Now the attack by Matt Morgan - that seems to have come signed straight from the top - President Strangler Lewis. They say this man put Bruno Sammartino out of the sport. Any truth to the rumor you wanted to challenge Sammartino after he announced his comeback?
JACK BRISCO: I would have loved to wrestle Bruno. We had decided to do a title vs title match in the Atlanta when the Omni first opened. At the last minute Vince Sr. decided he didn't want his champion in the south. I have a lot of respect for Bruno.
MSD: Guys like Matt Morgan & Bruno Sammartino aren’t necessarily known as great “workers”… would you agree?
JACK BRISCO: I would rate Bruno as an excellent worker. I was on the card at the Shea Stadium show where he worked with Pedro, that was probably one of the best matches I have seen. Matt Morgan… I don't know if he would have gotten over in any of the other territories as he made so much money in New York he had no need to go anywhere else. But I wish Bruno all the best. And I’ll be coming for Morgan @ “REDEMPTION”…
MSD: Is XPW Remixed truly the last of the hostile territories? And are you fearful of contesting a title match under such Xtreme circumstances and pressure?
JACK BRISCO: My definition of a hostile territory was one that was poorly promoted and I couldn't make money. Nobody ever tried to get cute with me a in a title match…

Great match - crowd 100% behind LOD - 100% against the Dudz (who cut another pre-match promo that almost started a riot). Guardrails, ring steps, and yes - tables - came into play. LOD starting to show the age of battle creeping up on them, as Dudz put them away in their speciality match. Last to go is Animal with a 3D through a table stacked on ring steps.
Winners: DUDLEY BOYZ
Before the Dudz can leave completely, Animal gets a mic. He breathlessly gives the Dudz props for their victory tonight, but says the war is far from finished! CROWD AGREES! They want to see another fight and the Road Warriors do too! @ "REDEMPTION!" Dudz won't do it until Hawk gets belligerent and MAKES them accept! Crowd cheers! Then - XPW VP & Commissioner Toots Mondt appears to confirm to the match! Dudz vs LOD @ "REDEMPTION"! But per order of Strangler Lewis - we're upping the ante big time. This is a blood feud that has gone on too long, and will not stop until it consumes every fantasy wrestling org in its wake. That's why "REDEMPTION" will be Dudz vs LOD the Final chapter... LOSERS MUST DISBAND!

He claims he was robbed of the title shot and conspired against by The commission, but he knows Lewis & Mondt are fair men. So he appealed to them - put up this championship belt (the ROH title - something he had taken back behind the scenes) as collateral - and got this match turned into a 3-Way Dance!!!

Ominous strains of VOODOO MURDERS theme song to open segment. TERRY FUNK enters in full Black Army Voodoo Murders regalia surrounded by troops (including ONITA and the Headhunterz!) Terry Funk with the mic like a sword - slaying the yellow-bellied cowlick John Cena with a hate-fueled tirade of cuss words. There’s still speculation as to whether John Cena will be able to compete tonight - until the triumphant opening strands of his theme song ends all speculation. Cena roars out to an explosive instinct pop then tapers off into strong boos. It appears he will address Funk on the mic - but instead forsakes words for a flurry of action! Within moments Cena clears the rings of the Headhunterz (Onita dives for cover) and the fight with Funk begins! Ring the bell! Good stiff Attitude Era main event that drags throughout the stands and ringside area. Funk comes up bleeding off a ring post shot… Cena follows shortly thereafter from a ringbell shot. Somewhere in weed-soaked Washington state, chachins cringed and spit out his popcorn. Cena bungles an FUAA attempt selling his ribs and ankle, so Funk takes advantage of that (spinning toe hold!) In the end - Cena disarms Terry Funk of his branding iron (tossed to him by Onita) with a steel chair - before using the weapon to CRUSH each of the Headhunterz. But Cena turned around just in time to eat a flash FIREBALL to the face from Onita! (spitting 200 proof liquor through Funks flaming branding iron)!! OOOOOO from the crowd! Cena goes down smoldering! And Funk collapses on him for the 1!.. 2!.. 3!! Terry Funk has downed John Cena! The Voodoo Murders get off twin 400 lb moonsaults from the Headhunterz to make Cena *STAY* down, before draping him with the VM’z flag!
Terry Funk gives a wild, promo even collapsing to his knees at one point - praying for a savior to this damnation in XPW Remixed. He of course is referring to ONITA! Great Conqueror of the East here to TAKE the Boston title @ “REDEMPTION” and strike fear into the heart of Cenation devotees everywhere! HH’z hold a near-dead Cena slightly aloft so Onita can address him face to face with an evil, shouting half Japanese/English promo before SLAPPING him and issuing a kiss of death to John Cena come “REDEMPTION”…

LOU THESZ © versus
MIKE AWESOME (w/ Dean Ambrose)
(Non-title match)
versus w/
Dean Ambrose has cut some brilliant promos in the build to his World title match with Thesz @ “REDEMPTION” - portraying this as a stark clash of black vs. white. Future vs. past. But what makes it so sinister is Ambrose witch-hunt to prove the stain of evil resides in Thesz heart as well - and Ambrose is going to prove it by pulling it out of him @ “REDEMPTION”. That’s why internet vignettes and Touts of Ambrose outside Thesz expensive South California home - or outside the store Lou’s wife shops at have been so startling. That crusade continues tonight when Ambrose leads an explosive charge to the ring that will bring the EXTREME out of Thesz whether he wants to or not. Thesz on the hand, has deflected much of the personal attacks and kept it strictly business sense - like GSP to Nick Diaz, or Anderson Silva to Chael Sonnen. Dignity and class, keeping his pre-fight press conferences focused on how he’s training for his opponent (and preparing for his tag team pairing with Cena). Ambrose can run his mouth all he wants to sell the fight but all he’s doing is making me angry enough to shoot him dead in the center of the ring. At least Ambrose is getting some acknowledgement from the World champ, which is more than can be said about Thesz tag team partner in the Valkyrie series John Cena. Anytime a question is raised about the XPW Remixed Boston champion, Thesz issues a curt “no comment”. Word up. Match between Thesz & Awesome is a barnburner. Matched size for size, but Awesome has the clear cut strength advantage on some exchanges. Dean Ambrose joins the commentary crew for color and puts over his psychotic mastermind plans while plotting the age of Ambrose world title reign @ “REDEMPTION”.
Ambrose sentiment becomes so stirring - the crowd reaction to the match so rousing - and the tables left scattered about ringside from the earlier tables match so enticing - that the bloodlust of the moment becomes unquenchable. In a heated verbal confrontation between Thesz & Ambrose at ringside - Thesz shoves him over the ringside table and takes his billy club (an old school weapon Ambrose had been touting in his vids as *HIS* bone breaking “shooter” strategy)! Now Thesz has the weapon and is in perfect position to turn around and BASH Awesome in the head as he leaned between the middle ropes to grab him! BLOOD from Awesome as he collapses in the ring! Meanwhile at ringside, Dean Ambrose… smiles?? He wanted to prove Thesz was no great man (some noble, white knight, John Cena like wrestling hero) and now the blood is on Thesz hands literally. Ambrose claims Thesz will do anything to get ahead (including deserting his "partner" John Cena earlier in the night) and that's why he's king of the scumbag universe. Thesz realizes Ambrose twisted intent, and throws the blackjack away in disgust. He begins to LEAVE ringside in a huff. The ref counts to 10! Crowd boos the decision! Dean Ambrose chuckles maniacally and smirks.
Winner: MIKE AWESOME (count-out)
When Dean Ambrose notices Thesz left his XPW Title behind he retrieves it. Ambrose runs up the ramp behind Thesz to give him his belt… and Thesz turns around and SOCKS him! Right in the mouth! Ambrose goes down in a scorned heap on the entrance ramp and Thesz puts his finger right in his face! But from behind! The VOODOO MURDERS (Taru & Big Daddy Voodoo) grab Lou Thesz and force him into the ring! There, a recovered Mike Awesome puts the finishing touches on the unsuspecting champion. He finishes his match-worth work on Thesz neck by hoisting an uncooperative Thesz into a crushing AWESOME BOMB! Then Taru & Big Daddy Vooodoo stomp him down! Dean Ambrose gives the death blow with a steel chair piledriver. Then the confetti falls like a championship celebration - Ambrose poses with the World title - and the VM’z hoist him on their shoulders like a hero. This is dress rehearsel for Dean Ambrose World Title coronation @ “REDEMPTION”. Dealer always wins.

STRANGLER LEWIS versus SAMOA JOE
("Title Shot vs. Loser Leaves XPW Remixed")
w/ versus
Short, stiff, brutish and uncooperative. Longest part of the affair are the walkouts and TV entrances of each men (Ed Lewis is a major league staller and Toots Mondt puffs a cigar like Red Auerbach). They grappled for control, each one sprawling defensively, and Joe took a few swipes at Lewis (but the Strangler kept him tightly confined). A bunch of times Lewis wound up taking Joe’s back and keeping him grounded. Using up massive amounts of anger and frustration as he floundered helplessly to regain his feet. Some of the crowd was chanting “BORING” but cameras can see up close the Strangler is making Joe work really hard defensively, and wearing him down.
And when Joe finally does start getting back up and unleashes on Lewis in the corner - forcing him to wilt - the referee quickly separates them! The split seconds it takes for Joe to angrily TOSS the ref out of the way - is enough time for the handheld chain shot of DOOM from Lewis (handed off by Mondt)! BOOM Samoe Joe goes down like Magnus just him with a wrench on TNA Impact 2012 and Lewis is on him for the cover! 1! 2! 3! Lewis has just enough time to get his arm raised in victory before Joe starts stirring. Out of animal instinct he tries lunging at Lewis, but catchs Mondt by the legs instead. Lewis & Mondt stomp Joe into wine on the mat - before Ed Lewis cinches in his dreaded Dragon Sleeper on Joe! Once more he holds on until Joe’s body literally stops moving.
Winner: STRANGLER LEWIS
Toots Mondt raises Strangler's arms in victory himself - and Strangler closes with a sermon. He hypes his "Title Unification Trilogy" beginning @ "REDEMPTION" and promises to change the Territory Wars universe... Strangler Lewis has only one question remaining...

JOHN CENA: Freestyle from Backlash (2003)
(Non-title match)
versus w/
Dean Ambrose has cut some brilliant promos in the build to his World title match with Thesz @ “REDEMPTION” - portraying this as a stark clash of black vs. white. Future vs. past. But what makes it so sinister is Ambrose witch-hunt to prove the stain of evil resides in Thesz heart as well - and Ambrose is going to prove it by pulling it out of him @ “REDEMPTION”. That’s why internet vignettes and Touts of Ambrose outside Thesz expensive South California home - or outside the store Lou’s wife shops at have been so startling. That crusade continues tonight when Ambrose leads an explosive charge to the ring that will bring the EXTREME out of Thesz whether he wants to or not. Thesz on the hand, has deflected much of the personal attacks and kept it strictly business sense - like GSP to Nick Diaz, or Anderson Silva to Chael Sonnen. Dignity and class, keeping his pre-fight press conferences focused on how he’s training for his opponent (and preparing for his tag team pairing with Cena). Ambrose can run his mouth all he wants to sell the fight but all he’s doing is making me angry enough to shoot him dead in the center of the ring. At least Ambrose is getting some acknowledgement from the World champ, which is more than can be said about Thesz tag team partner in the Valkyrie series John Cena. Anytime a question is raised about the XPW Remixed Boston champion, Thesz issues a curt “no comment”. Word up. Match between Thesz & Awesome is a barnburner. Matched size for size, but Awesome has the clear cut strength advantage on some exchanges. Dean Ambrose joins the commentary crew for color and puts over his psychotic mastermind plans while plotting the age of Ambrose world title reign @ “REDEMPTION”.
Ambrose sentiment becomes so stirring - the crowd reaction to the match so rousing - and the tables left scattered about ringside from the earlier tables match so enticing - that the bloodlust of the moment becomes unquenchable. In a heated verbal confrontation between Thesz & Ambrose at ringside - Thesz shoves him over the ringside table and takes his billy club (an old school weapon Ambrose had been touting in his vids as *HIS* bone breaking “shooter” strategy)! Now Thesz has the weapon and is in perfect position to turn around and BASH Awesome in the head as he leaned between the middle ropes to grab him! BLOOD from Awesome as he collapses in the ring! Meanwhile at ringside, Dean Ambrose… smiles?? He wanted to prove Thesz was no great man (some noble, white knight, John Cena like wrestling hero) and now the blood is on Thesz hands literally. Ambrose claims Thesz will do anything to get ahead (including deserting his "partner" John Cena earlier in the night) and that's why he's king of the scumbag universe. Thesz realizes Ambrose twisted intent, and throws the blackjack away in disgust. He begins to LEAVE ringside in a huff. The ref counts to 10! Crowd boos the decision! Dean Ambrose chuckles maniacally and smirks.
Winner: MIKE AWESOME (count-out)
When Dean Ambrose notices Thesz left his XPW Title behind he retrieves it. Ambrose runs up the ramp behind Thesz to give him his belt… and Thesz turns around and SOCKS him! Right in the mouth! Ambrose goes down in a scorned heap on the entrance ramp and Thesz puts his finger right in his face! But from behind! The VOODOO MURDERS (Taru & Big Daddy Voodoo) grab Lou Thesz and force him into the ring! There, a recovered Mike Awesome puts the finishing touches on the unsuspecting champion. He finishes his match-worth work on Thesz neck by hoisting an uncooperative Thesz into a crushing AWESOME BOMB! Then Taru & Big Daddy Vooodoo stomp him down! Dean Ambrose gives the death blow with a steel chair piledriver. Then the confetti falls like a championship celebration - Ambrose poses with the World title - and the VM’z hoist him on their shoulders like a hero. This is dress rehearsel for Dean Ambrose World Title coronation @ “REDEMPTION”. Dealer always wins.

STRANGLER LEWIS versus SAMOA JOE
("Title Shot vs. Loser Leaves XPW Remixed")
w/ versus
Short, stiff, brutish and uncooperative. Longest part of the affair are the walkouts and TV entrances of each men (Ed Lewis is a major league staller and Toots Mondt puffs a cigar like Red Auerbach). They grappled for control, each one sprawling defensively, and Joe took a few swipes at Lewis (but the Strangler kept him tightly confined). A bunch of times Lewis wound up taking Joe’s back and keeping him grounded. Using up massive amounts of anger and frustration as he floundered helplessly to regain his feet. Some of the crowd was chanting “BORING” but cameras can see up close the Strangler is making Joe work really hard defensively, and wearing him down.
And when Joe finally does start getting back up and unleashes on Lewis in the corner - forcing him to wilt - the referee quickly separates them! The split seconds it takes for Joe to angrily TOSS the ref out of the way - is enough time for the handheld chain shot of DOOM from Lewis (handed off by Mondt)! BOOM Samoe Joe goes down like Magnus just him with a wrench on TNA Impact 2012 and Lewis is on him for the cover! 1! 2! 3! Lewis has just enough time to get his arm raised in victory before Joe starts stirring. Out of animal instinct he tries lunging at Lewis, but catchs Mondt by the legs instead. Lewis & Mondt stomp Joe into wine on the mat - before Ed Lewis cinches in his dreaded Dragon Sleeper on Joe! Once more he holds on until Joe’s body literally stops moving.
