***Wrestler's Theme Music: "Alive and Kicking" By Nonpoint
***Wrestler's Bio: Robb grew up in Los Angeles California, taking care of his two brothers Will Hardy and Nick Hardy while their mother was away at work during the day. Growing up in the lower class areas of Los Angeles, Robb had to be very protective of Nick and Will and he had to get them out of truble on many occasions. While growing up, Robb had the dream to become a wrestler and he started off his career in 2001 in UWA. In UWA, Robb won the Galaxy and Television Champions once on separate occasions. Near the end of Robb's stay, a man named Wes Michaels challenged Robb in a Hell In A Cell match with both men putting their careers on the line. Wes Michaels ended up defeating Robb Hardy, ending his run as a superstar and beginning his first and only attempt at being a manager. UWA eventually closed and Robb joined EPW on October 13th, 2002. Robb wasn't welcomed in the beginning because he was young and cocky. By November, people started to warm up the Robb and he became well liked by the roster and fans a-like. Robb, who was married to Cassandra, came home to find out that Cassandra had been murdered. Later on Robb found out it was Red Wolf, and Robb got his revenge by beating Red Wolf. In mid December of 2002. Eventually Robb found out that Cassandra was forced to fake her own death because of her father's work in the CIA and that is how Red Wolf got away with it, because it was a government cover up. Later on during Robb's tenure in EPW, h won the American Title from Drummond Base, and then beat his enemy and ex-best friend who trained him, JJ Jarone, at EPW's December PPV called X-Mas in a buried alive match. Later on, JJ Jarone and Robb reconciled their differences and they both joined up with the Darkriders, a group that already possessed Dan Cichon, Lexy, and Dwight Maverick. JJ Jarone soon retired and handed his tag title to Robb Hardy. Robb Hardy then lost his American Title, to his friend Dwight Maverick. A week later, Robb won the High-Velocity Championship. Robb held the Tag Team titles with Lexy for two months before losing them to Sypon and Drummond Base. Robb then went on to lose his High-Velocity Championship to Smooth Criminal and it was considered a huge upset. Robb then earned a world championship shot at the PPV Insurance. The Main event was Robb Hardy Vs. JJ Jarone for the EPW World Championship and Robb ended up coming out on top, marking his first reign as the World Champion.. Eventually EPW would close and Robb would try his hand out in CHZ, NGW, HCW and RXW where he eventually became a two time Cruiserweight champion. Robb achieved most of his success in EPW but he also had a great deal of success in XWF when he arrived there in 2003. Robb became Tag Champion two times, one of those reigns with his long time friend TJ Codair. Robb also won the XXX Championship in XWF which was their version of the hardcore championship. Eventually Robb and XWF management did not see eye to eye so he then headed back over to CHZ for two months, winning all of his matches which included a victory over another long time friend, THG. After a two month absence in the XWF, Robb made his return and in his first match back he beat Dante Locks for the Genesis Championship in a Russian Chain match. Robb then squared off against TJ Codair in a fans bring the weapons match. Robb was then pitted against five other opponents in a Game-Time elimination match and he came out the victor. XWF eventually closed and had a going away show where Robb retained the Genesis Championship and was its last ever champion. Robb also met Jade, the sister of Chris Night, in XWF and they eloped after dating for several years. Robb then had a few more stints in the CHZ, even teaming with Chris Night at one point. When Inferno Wrestling opened, Robb decided to try his hand as the head referee of the company while Jade and Chris Night became wrestlers there. A man named Skylar Riggs had a match with Jade in August of 2013 and he tore her apart, busting her open and breaking her jaw. This caused Robb to challenge Riggs to a match himself. Robb put up a valiant effort but sadly, fell to the same fate that Jade fell too. Jade ended up having a case of stockholme syndrome and she ran to be with Skylar Riggs, betraying both Robb and Chris is the process and Skylar injured Chris Night as well. Chris and Robb ended up getting into a heated argument over all of this in front of Robb's house, causing the police to be called on them. A week later, Robb checked himself into a mental facility because of this downward spiral. Chris ended up defeating Skylar Riggs, causing him to disappear from Inferno and seperate himself from Jade as well. Jade also disappeared up until she came to see Robb at the mental facility he was staying at. Jade told Robb to stay away from Chris and that she loved him before signing his release papers and leaving him alone again. Robb tried to stay away from his brother-in-law Chris and Chris' fiancee Kelly Fury for some time but he couldn't resist and had to go see them. Robb has been trying to cope with the whole situation and now figures the best way to deal with all of this is to get back in the squared circle and do what he does best... Wrestle. How Robb is going to handle being back in the ring with all that has gone on lately is unexpected. But Robb sees PWX as the perfect place for him to make his full time return.

:: OFF CAMERA ::
Kelly and I have been at the hospital for about twenty-four hours now and it has been driving me nuts not knowing what is wrong with her. Sometimes I wish she wasn't so damn stubborn but it's also one of the things that I love the most about her. She's strong and independent and she is always going to do what she thinks is the right thing. I don't blame her, I know I would have went out to that ring and performed to the best of my ability as well. I just pray it's nothing serious. I've had to play it cool this entire time at the hospital so that Kelly doesn't stress out more than she already is. She kept apologizing for me having to sleep on a chair next to her but it's fine, I don't really care about that; I'm just concerned about it. I've had to stay strong though and act like I know everything is going to be okay. It seems like it has been a common theme in my life for the past six months to be honest. There's nothing wrong with showing your weaknesses sometimes but at this juncture in my life, I just can't do it. Everything that has been thrown my way, I've had to stand tall against and show that I have no fear of it, that I can weather any storm. Sometimes I don't know if I do it to reassure myself or to reassure my loved ones and the fans. Kelly's doctor now finally makes his way over to me as I have been standing outside of the door of her room.
"Mr. Night, the test results are back."
"Is it serious?"
I begin to turn pale as a million thoughts run through my head as to what it could be. The doctor now continues on.
"Well it could be serious if you two do not handle it correctly. Kelly is anemic, which is basically a decrease in a number of red bleed cells compared to the normal quantity that should be there. The red blood cells, which are also known as hemoglobin, are what carry oxygen throughout your body. So basically, Kelly has been so exhausted lately because she isn't getting enough oxygen throughout her body and she has been pushing herself too hard. I'll give you a list for how to treat anemia. One of the most important things is to get much more iron into Kelly's system."
Nodding my head, I respond.
"Well that sounds simple enough."
"It might but you need to take this seriously. Kelly needs to take a leave of absence from wrestling until we clear her with a clean bill of health. She ended up fine this time but we need to be cautious with this kind of thing because getting enough oxygen throughout your body and to your brain is essential."
"Alright doc, so is Kelly good to leave now at least?"
"Sure, go ahead and get packed up and I'll have the papers ready for how to treat anemia ready by the time you are good to go."
I nod my head before turning around and entering the room where Kelly and CJ are lying in her bed together watching cartoons. Kelly looks over at me and flashes a smile as I begin to walk towards her.
"So El Dorko, what was the verdict?"
"Well, it's not great but it's not bad either."
Kelly raises a brow and looks at me, wondering what it could be.
"Well, why do I feel all whack-a-doodle then?"
"The doctor said that you are anemic and that you need to take a break from Inferno Wrestling until they decide you are healthy enough to be cleared."
Kelly nods her head before responding.
"Hmm. You know, a break might be good for us. With the engagement and everything else that has been going on, it will be good for me to just clear my head. Oh and eat lots and lots of pudding!"
Kelly begins to giggle and it causes me to laugh too. I love the fact that even through all of this, she can still stay upbeat. It's things like this that give me the strength that I need to keep holding on everyday, to keep all of my demons at bay.
"And iron. We need to get you a lot of iron to keep your red blood cells on the up."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stop being such a worrier Chris, I'm going to be alright."
Kelly grabs me and pulls me towards her before smacking a kiss on my cheek. She then hugs CJ with one arm and me with the other.
"As long as I have my two boys, I'll always be alright."
:: ON CAMERA ::
The scene opens up with Chris Night standing inside of the gym we last found him at. In the background you can see Xavier Young giving pointers to wrestlers in training and they are sitting on the mat, writing down notes. Chris nods at the camera before beginning to speak.
Night: Sixteen months. That's how long ago Inferno Wrestling opened its doors and I was one of the first competitors to put pen to paper, signing a longterm contract. So much can happen within the span of sixteen months, people come to Inferno and then end up leaving shortly after because they can't handle it here; they can't keep up with the competition. Inferno Wrestling isn't for everyone, it is for people who want to test themselves against the best of the best. We have seen flash in the pan talent like We Will Destroy you show up here; people that will set the wrestling industry on fire for a month or two and then die out as fast as they came onto the scene. When Inferno Wrestling opened sixteen months ago, the only person to not walk out of that door has been me. I've been here since day one and I have seen it all and I have done it all. I've fought in two pay-per-view main events, I've fought in Last Standing matches, I've competed every week in Inferno Wrestling except for the two months I was put on the shelf by Skylar Riggs. There is only one thing that I haven't done, one thing that has eluded me this entire time I have been in Inferno Wrestling; and that is win a championship. Now, you can't say I haven't won the big one because I have. When all odds were against me, when everyone thought I didn't have a chance in hell, I beat Skylar Riggs. Since then, I have been untouchable in Inferno. Every challenge that has been thrown my way, I have defeated it and stood tall over it.
But don't get it twisted, I'm not letting all of this get to my head. I don't think the Xtreme Rebel is going to be a walk in the park, in fact, I think he is going to be my toughest challenge to date. You look at the recent path of The Rebel and myself and you see a great deal of similarities. The odds that both of us had to overcome seemed impossible but we were both able to beat every challenge thrown at us. That's why I respect you Rebel, you have defeated every obstacle that has come your way and you have done it the right way. Unlike Josh Anderson, I am not going to come at you like I am perfect, like I am the most unstoppable force this business has ever seen. Josh tried to play mind games and he became cocky, ultimately causing him to fail against you. It was the same song and dance between Skylar Riggs and myself.
Night pauses and shakes his head.
Night: The mind games, bringing up one's personal life, trying to make you look like the bad guy. I know what it's like Rebel, I know the pain of failing your family. I too put this business before everyone I care about and I'm still trying to pick up the pieces. The process has been long, slow and tedious; hell, I might never fully put the puzzle back together but I need to keep pushing through, I need to keep trying. I know you are doing the same man and I see a lot of myself in you Rebel. Except for the fact that you got some years on me. But we share the same experiences, we share the same downfalls and triumphs. The thing about us Rebel, we learn from our mistakes and we have made ourselves better from it. Not everyone in life is given a second chance, a chance to redeem themselves. You? You've been given a young and talented guy like Neil Leary to train to be one of the future up-and-comers of Inferno Wrestling. You won the Inferno Championship and solidified your name in this business as one of the best, you finally made your way over that hump. I can respect that. Me? I've not only found myself but I have a family again that I will never lose sight of. They come first before everything. CJ and Kelly are my world and Inferno Wrestling is number two. As much as it is my dream to become the Inferno Wrestling Champion, my bigger dream is getting old with Kelly Fury and watching CJ grow up to be ten times the man I am. Ten months ago, I had this same opportunity against Josh Anderson at Recoil. Back then, I was consumed with being the Inferno Wrestling Champion, it's what I lived for.
It's funny how things change, how we can do a complete 180 degrees in ten short months. I would have hurt anyone that walked in my way of obtaining the Inferno Championship and that is exactly why I failed all of those months ago against Josh Anderson. Now I can see clearly that it isn't just about becoming the champion because champions come and go. Case in point with Will Haynes who is the most forgotten Inferno Champion ever. Thirty years down the road, no one will remember Will Haynes simply because he never did anything worth remembering. I now see that it is about the fans, about Inferno Wrestling and about my family. This moment isn't just about me but it's about so much more. Before I had no one to lean on, all I had was myself and ultimately, I failed; failing harder than anyone in recent memory in Inferno Wrestling. I lost to Josh, lost to Angelica Layne and then I watched Skylar Riggs slowly pick my family apart. Why? Because I thought all I needed was myself. Not until I saw what Jade went through, what Robb went through, did I realize that I truly needed them. Foolishly, I didn't realize this until they were taken away. As luck would have it, CJ would wind up back in my life and I somehow convinced Kelly Fury to date me.
Chris pauses and brushes his hand over his black bandana while looking at the ground with a serious look on his face.
Night: Jade and Robb cross my mind every single day. They are with me when I am awake, they are there when I am asleep and they are even with me now. Robb is out there somewhere doing his own thing, being just released from the hospital and Jade is hiding somewhere. Neither of them want anything to do with me anymore and there isn't really much I can do about it but hope that one day they can forgive me. I know these are things that a lot of Inferno Wrestling has heard before, that they know all about but I feel like I need to bring a lot of this up to show that I really do know how you feel; that I have gone through some of the similar things that you have and that I brought it upon myself in the same manner as you. I want to bring this to light because I want to show the world that it isn't too late to change, to make yourself better and to make a difference. Just because you can't fix everything and make it the way it used to be doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to make a difference in another way. You and me Rebel... We are the prime examples of this. That is why I can't wait to take you on at Combustion II because this match is going to be purely about wrestling. It is going to be between two men bringing everything they have against each other in a good old fashioned wrestling match; it's as pure as you can get. There will be no games of cat and mouse or insults, there will be no sneak attacks or a surprise guest like Mad Max to attack you; it is just going to be about putting on the best damn show possible for the Inferno Wrestling fans in Las Vegas. We don't need to have bad blood, we don't need this to be a Last Man Standing or Cage match to make it one of the greatest matches in Inferno Wrestling history. We can do it just by being who we are, which is two damn good wrestlers who showed the world that you really can turn things around no matter how dark or bleak things get.
You and I can keep on being a beacon of light for the fans and other people who want to become wrestlers; by showing that you can hit the lowest of lows and still climb up to the highest of highs. Matt Scheffert, not only are you an inspiration to all of the Inferno Wrestling fans out there but you are an inspiration to me. As much as I believe in you as the champion of Inferno Wrestling, as much as I have enjoyed seeing you carry this company on your back for almost a year, it is time for someone else to take that mantle from you. If you asked me, I would say that there isn't a better choice to take that mantle, that torch, from you than me. This is a reason that Drayton and Vampa made me the #1 Contender for your Inferno Championship. They, like everyone else, can see clearly that it is offically my time to step up and become what I worked so hard to become. This is my second chance Matt, this is my dream finally coming into fruition. I messed up on one opportunity before and I am not going to let this one slip through my grasps. Since I have been in Inferno Wrestling, I have faced everyone I could possibly face in this ring and the majority of them fell victim to my Superkick. The one top name I have never had the chance to square off with is you Matt. After being in Inferno together for about a year now, the fact that this match is the first ever between you and I is quite amazing when you think about it. It gives this match so much more momentum and intrigue because no one knows what Matt Scheffert versus Chris Night looks like. Come Combustion II, they are all going to finally get to witness it and I know for a fact that it is going to be the greatest match that I will have wrestled in. Win or lose, I am glad that I have the opportunity to share the ring with you as an opponent. My plan though, is to win and become the next Inferno Wrestling Champion to lead this company. I know that I will have a hard time living up to your name Matt, being the kind of Inferno Champion that you have been but I am up for the challenge. I have never been more ready for this than I am now. I will not let this second chance go to waste.
Chris nods his head at the camera as the scene cuts out.

The scene opens up with Chris Night standing inside of the gym we last found him at. In the background you can see Xavier Young giving pointers to wrestlers in training and they are sitting on the mat, writing down notes. Chris nods at the camera before beginning to speak.
Night: Sixteen months. That's how long ago Inferno Wrestling opened its doors and I was one of the first competitors to put pen to paper, signing a longterm contract. So much can happen within the span of sixteen months, people come to Inferno and then end up leaving shortly after because they can't handle it here; they can't keep up with the competition. Inferno Wrestling isn't for everyone, it is for people who want to test themselves against the best of the best. We have seen flash in the pan talent like We Will Destroy you show up here; people that will set the wrestling industry on fire for a month or two and then die out as fast as they came onto the scene. When Inferno Wrestling opened sixteen months ago, the only person to not walk out of that door has been me. I've been here since day one and I have seen it all and I have done it all. I've fought in two pay-per-view main events, I've fought in Last Standing matches, I've competed every week in Inferno Wrestling except for the two months I was put on the shelf by Skylar Riggs. There is only one thing that I haven't done, one thing that has eluded me this entire time I have been in Inferno Wrestling; and that is win a championship. Now, you can't say I haven't won the big one because I have. When all odds were against me, when everyone thought I didn't have a chance in hell, I beat Skylar Riggs. Since then, I have been untouchable in Inferno. Every challenge that has been thrown my way, I have defeated it and stood tall over it.
But don't get it twisted, I'm not letting all of this get to my head. I don't think the Xtreme Rebel is going to be a walk in the park, in fact, I think he is going to be my toughest challenge to date. You look at the recent path of The Rebel and myself and you see a great deal of similarities. The odds that both of us had to overcome seemed impossible but we were both able to beat every challenge thrown at us. That's why I respect you Rebel, you have defeated every obstacle that has come your way and you have done it the right way. Unlike Josh Anderson, I am not going to come at you like I am perfect, like I am the most unstoppable force this business has ever seen. Josh tried to play mind games and he became cocky, ultimately causing him to fail against you. It was the same song and dance between Skylar Riggs and myself.
Night pauses and shakes his head.
Night: The mind games, bringing up one's personal life, trying to make you look like the bad guy. I know what it's like Rebel, I know the pain of failing your family. I too put this business before everyone I care about and I'm still trying to pick up the pieces. The process has been long, slow and tedious; hell, I might never fully put the puzzle back together but I need to keep pushing through, I need to keep trying. I know you are doing the same man and I see a lot of myself in you Rebel. Except for the fact that you got some years on me. But we share the same experiences, we share the same downfalls and triumphs. The thing about us Rebel, we learn from our mistakes and we have made ourselves better from it. Not everyone in life is given a second chance, a chance to redeem themselves. You? You've been given a young and talented guy like Neil Leary to train to be one of the future up-and-comers of Inferno Wrestling. You won the Inferno Championship and solidified your name in this business as one of the best, you finally made your way over that hump. I can respect that. Me? I've not only found myself but I have a family again that I will never lose sight of. They come first before everything. CJ and Kelly are my world and Inferno Wrestling is number two. As much as it is my dream to become the Inferno Wrestling Champion, my bigger dream is getting old with Kelly Fury and watching CJ grow up to be ten times the man I am. Ten months ago, I had this same opportunity against Josh Anderson at Recoil. Back then, I was consumed with being the Inferno Wrestling Champion, it's what I lived for.
It's funny how things change, how we can do a complete 180 degrees in ten short months. I would have hurt anyone that walked in my way of obtaining the Inferno Championship and that is exactly why I failed all of those months ago against Josh Anderson. Now I can see clearly that it isn't just about becoming the champion because champions come and go. Case in point with Will Haynes who is the most forgotten Inferno Champion ever. Thirty years down the road, no one will remember Will Haynes simply because he never did anything worth remembering. I now see that it is about the fans, about Inferno Wrestling and about my family. This moment isn't just about me but it's about so much more. Before I had no one to lean on, all I had was myself and ultimately, I failed; failing harder than anyone in recent memory in Inferno Wrestling. I lost to Josh, lost to Angelica Layne and then I watched Skylar Riggs slowly pick my family apart. Why? Because I thought all I needed was myself. Not until I saw what Jade went through, what Robb went through, did I realize that I truly needed them. Foolishly, I didn't realize this until they were taken away. As luck would have it, CJ would wind up back in my life and I somehow convinced Kelly Fury to date me.
Chris pauses and brushes his hand over his black bandana while looking at the ground with a serious look on his face.
Night: Jade and Robb cross my mind every single day. They are with me when I am awake, they are there when I am asleep and they are even with me now. Robb is out there somewhere doing his own thing, being just released from the hospital and Jade is hiding somewhere. Neither of them want anything to do with me anymore and there isn't really much I can do about it but hope that one day they can forgive me. I know these are things that a lot of Inferno Wrestling has heard before, that they know all about but I feel like I need to bring a lot of this up to show that I really do know how you feel; that I have gone through some of the similar things that you have and that I brought it upon myself in the same manner as you. I want to bring this to light because I want to show the world that it isn't too late to change, to make yourself better and to make a difference. Just because you can't fix everything and make it the way it used to be doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to make a difference in another way. You and me Rebel... We are the prime examples of this. That is why I can't wait to take you on at Combustion II because this match is going to be purely about wrestling. It is going to be between two men bringing everything they have against each other in a good old fashioned wrestling match; it's as pure as you can get. There will be no games of cat and mouse or insults, there will be no sneak attacks or a surprise guest like Mad Max to attack you; it is just going to be about putting on the best damn show possible for the Inferno Wrestling fans in Las Vegas. We don't need to have bad blood, we don't need this to be a Last Man Standing or Cage match to make it one of the greatest matches in Inferno Wrestling history. We can do it just by being who we are, which is two damn good wrestlers who showed the world that you really can turn things around no matter how dark or bleak things get.
You and I can keep on being a beacon of light for the fans and other people who want to become wrestlers; by showing that you can hit the lowest of lows and still climb up to the highest of highs. Matt Scheffert, not only are you an inspiration to all of the Inferno Wrestling fans out there but you are an inspiration to me. As much as I believe in you as the champion of Inferno Wrestling, as much as I have enjoyed seeing you carry this company on your back for almost a year, it is time for someone else to take that mantle from you. If you asked me, I would say that there isn't a better choice to take that mantle, that torch, from you than me. This is a reason that Drayton and Vampa made me the #1 Contender for your Inferno Championship. They, like everyone else, can see clearly that it is offically my time to step up and become what I worked so hard to become. This is my second chance Matt, this is my dream finally coming into fruition. I messed up on one opportunity before and I am not going to let this one slip through my grasps. Since I have been in Inferno Wrestling, I have faced everyone I could possibly face in this ring and the majority of them fell victim to my Superkick. The one top name I have never had the chance to square off with is you Matt. After being in Inferno together for about a year now, the fact that this match is the first ever between you and I is quite amazing when you think about it. It gives this match so much more momentum and intrigue because no one knows what Matt Scheffert versus Chris Night looks like. Come Combustion II, they are all going to finally get to witness it and I know for a fact that it is going to be the greatest match that I will have wrestled in. Win or lose, I am glad that I have the opportunity to share the ring with you as an opponent. My plan though, is to win and become the next Inferno Wrestling Champion to lead this company. I know that I will have a hard time living up to your name Matt, being the kind of Inferno Champion that you have been but I am up for the challenge. I have never been more ready for this than I am now. I will not let this second chance go to waste.
Chris nods his head at the camera as the scene cuts out.
