Daniels tries to muscle his way toward any rope, but he's stuck in the middle once again and Steve Parker isn't about to release the pressure from his modified fujiwara submission. Daniels has nowhere to go and is in severe pain, so he has little choice but to tap or accept dislocation. His hand slams on the mat repeatedly and Uruburu calls for the bell.

Lloyd Rees is ticked off and is stomping the hell out of Dan Ryan in the corner, Rees has gone absolutely crazy against his tag team partner. Seamus and Sean, who had been standing on the outside of the ring quickly dive back in; they've had a change of heart, this isn't right. Dan Ryan was beaten fair and square inside the squared circle.

"LIFT DA BHOY UP!"
The crowd is going nuts, booing this three-on-one assault as the OCB go to either side of Ryan, lifting his head up and making him look up at his former tag team partner, when all of a sudden, the boos turn to cheers...
Two weeks after being bloodied and beaten by the O'Connor Boys, Donovan Astros is back. He's wearing the bloodied shirt from two weeks ago.
And he's got a chair!
Astros rushes the ring, dented chair in hand, and slides in as Rees is about to DDT From The Green Dan Ryan! Chairshot to Rees! Chairshot to Seamus! One for Sean for good measure! Astros is a house a'fire! Sean tries to rush at Astros, but Rees holds him back and pulls him out of the ring! Astros charges at Seamus, but he rolls out of the ring too. Astros just chucks the chair at the three assailants, yelling at them, "GET YOUR ASSES BACK IN HERE!"
Rees shakes his head, laughing. They're not going to oblige. Astros calls over to the announcer's table for a microphone. Frank Warburton hands it over to Astros, who leans over the near ropes, staring a hole through Rees, Seamus, and Sean.
DONOVAN ASTROS: You two sons of bitches... you didn't think I'd bite back because I'm the commissioner? O'Connor Boys, keep runnin', cause you're not gonna like what you're about to hear.
Astros smiles as he heads back mid-ring. The OCB and Rees wait at the entranceway, mocking and laughing at the downed Ryan and the late-to-the-party Astros.
ASTROS: You see, Mr. Winchell and I have been talkin' all week about what to do with you two... whether to fire you two, or suspend you two... but the thing is, I wanna see you two get your asses beat so God damned bad... I wanna see you suffer, Sean and Seamus. I wanna see you bleed, hurt, pay for what you did to me! And that won't happen if you two are gone, so that's not what's gonna happen.
Seamus waggles his fingers in mock fear a la Scott Hall.
ASTROS: Then there's the other extreme... not doing anything at all and letting you two get away with attacking the commish. That wouldn't fly either, cause then everybody'd be doing it and I only have so much blood to give. So I told Mr. Winchell, I told him that I had an idea. How about instead of starting an indefinite suspension... how about we end one.
The crowd has a pretty good idea of what's about to happen, and they're getting excited!
ASTROS: How about we end a fifteen-month suspension and let that man do their worst to the O'Connor Boys? How about we introduce the OCB to Donovan Astros, the wrestler, instead of Donovan Astros, the commissioner? So as of this morning, Wahoo Bobby Winchell signed the dotted line and made it happen... Donovan Astros is no longer the commissioner of NAPW, but I am the newest member of the NAPW roster! And now there's NOTHING stopping me from beating the holy hell out of you two pieces of trash!
The crowd goes BANANA as the OCB stand mouth agape, realizing what they've just unleashed! The self-proclaimed "greatest wrestler on God's green Earth" is back in NAPW! To make matters worse, Dan Ryan is pulling himself to his feet, but he might have a word or two for Astros first, as he grabs the mic from Astros's hand...
DAN RYAN: So that's how it is? You *BLEEP* with my career for six months and now you're gonna hop back into the ring like nothing ever happened?
Astros pulls the mic to his face, not taking his eyes off the Ego Buster.
ASTROS: The anchor on you last six months isn't me, Dan, it's that guy standing right out there.
Astros points to Rees who is still standing at the entrance. The O'Connor Boys have gone to the back to fight another day.
ASTROS: If you've got a problem with me still, we can settle that in the ring... but I think you'd rather have a piece of the LDK than you would of me right now.
Astros backs away and steps through the ropes, before hopping the guardrail and heading out through the crowd. Ryan shakes his head before turning his attention back to the entranceway...
RYAN: REES!!!!
Ryan continues stalking around the ring, almost growling in anger.
RYAN: I gave you the benefit of the doubt. I gave you a promise that I'd look you in the eye and tell you like a man that it was over. I told you I'd never turn on you and stab you in the back and I meant it. BUT THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR LLOYD REES, IS IT??
Ryan pauses a moment and scowls into the crowd.
RYAN: Yeah.... It's funny, I'm suppose to be the (BLEEP) right? I'm supposed to be the jerk. I did everything for you that I said I'd do. I helped you win two more tag team titles. I helped you get rid of Dirty Money and Faces of Death when I had no reason to give a damn. I helped focus you on the bigger goal when you were mumbling to yourself and eating turnbuckles like George Steele...
And what do I get??? Lloyd Rees..... the backstabber. Lloyd Rees..... the pu**y..... Lloyd Rees..... the punk. Well guess what, Lloyd????? On July 27th, in Calgary .....everyone's gonna call you....
Ryan points directly at Rees, rubbing his hand over his face, snarling.
RYAN: LLOYD REES..... THE DEAD MAN.
The crowd goes nuts as Rees yells back at Ryan from the entrance! One month's time, a wrestling legend takes on an NAPW icon!
RYAN: Yeah. You see, my contract with this company ends in July. You knew that. I had.... THE DECENCY.... to let you know it might be my last month with the company. I told you.... TO YOUR FACE.... it might be the end of the run for me....
Fans aren't happy with that announcement.
RYAN: So you just HAD to get your shot in before I left didn't you? You couldn't be the honorable man you want everyone to THINK you are. You couldn't be a man, Lloyd. You couldn't show me the same respect I showed you. Well.... July 27th.... I'm gonna beat the respect into you.
LDK's heard enough as he heads to the back to join the O'Connor Boys in licking their wounds... or at least he would if not for...
RYAN: But that's not all, Lloyd. You and your lust for gold...... I'm gonna make your day, because on July 20th in Edmonton, I'm calling my shot.
Rees smiles at the sound of that, but the fans are confused.
RYAN: I still have a title shot in my back pocket and I intend to use it. I told you.... AGAIN.... TO YOUR FACE... that I was focusing on singles from now on. So on July 20th.... I will challenge Jake Phoenix for the NAPW World Title.
There's a very mixed reaction from the crowd. Part of them are excited to head about Jake Phoenix vs. Dan Ryan for the NAPW World Title. Part of them are wondering what will happen if Dan Ryan leaves NAPW with the gold!
RYAN: So you know... July may or may not be my last month with this company. But either way, I'm gonna make it one to remember. And Lloyd?? You best forget what you've heard in the past, because hell hath no fury like DAN RYAN scorned. You turned your back on me??
Ryan and Rees lock eyes again from 30 feet away, both staring daggers through one another.
RYAN: Well now?... I end you.
Rees heads backstage as Ryan slams the mic down and exits the ring, not acknowledging the fans as he stomps angrily toward backstage. "Zero" blasts over
the PA as the fans begin to get up. Donovan Astros back in the ring, Dan Ryan maybe departing... the landscape of NAPW is changing quickly.
