| - Asylum Wrestling Federation's very first Pay-Per-View emanated from San Jose, California. The sold out HP Pavilion arena was headlined by the AWF Championship Match, Kale Hartmann vs. Chris Foppa, with a returning Terry Buford as the special guest referee. The history of Hartmann and Foppa dated back to the very first episode of AWF Anarchy, which started off with an Open Invitational Battle Royal to determine the first two contenders for the new AWF Championship. The final two participants were Chris Foppa and Kale Hartmann, who later on in the night, in the main event, faced off for the title. In a grueling match, after the 20 minute mark, Hartmann, with a bloody arm from his beer bottle, hit the Head Hunter on Foppa to win the match and the title, being crowned the first ever AWF Champion. After winning this match, Foppa was on a mission to get a rematch against Hartmann. Kale tried playing mind games with Foppa in the upcoming weeks, saying Foppa has to prove his worth to be at a main event level with Kale. Foppa beat long-time rival Tai Burns, and also beat Tai and Kale in a tag team match in the next few weeks on Anarchy to prove his worth. Once the match was announced, Kale and Foppa's tension only grew more. To stop these two from tearing each other apart in their PPV match, Flair announced a special guest referee. A returning Terry Buford, FOppa's long time best friend and former three time TWA tag Team Champion. Foppa and Buford tagged in TWA, and were known as one of the greatest new age tag teams in the world. Once Foppa broke his neck however, Buford ended up winning the tag titles with Sting, his new mentor, and then Buford soon became a main player in TWA before it's demise. Kale played on this with Foppa, trying to add some heat between Buford and Foppa to make Buford saide with Kale at the PPV. This didn't phase Foppa or Buford much however, and Buford said he'd call it down the middle no matter what. Another marquee match on the card was Brock Lesnar vs. Maltese Preacher. Brock Lesnar has been widely regarded as the most gifted athlete in the business, but has also been known to have a bit of arrogance to come with it. Brock had been walking around TWA like he owned the place. He also said Foppa didn't deserve to be in the Title match, he did. Brock crossed paths with Preacher one week, and Preacher said he doesn't like Brock's attitude. Brock came back by saying Preacher is a joke, and a circus act for the show, only to warm up the crowd for guys like himself (Brock). Preacher got fed up, and wanted to show Brock the true competitor that he was. However, this feud got really heated when one night at the end of Anarchy, after Kale had beaten Preacher in a singles match, Brock came down and beat Preacher to a bloody pulp, telling him he'll never make it past the opening card. Preacher was going into the PPV trying to prove to Brock, and everyone else that he wasn't a joke, and was a true competitor. Antoine J. Stevenson and Tai Burns grew quite a rivalry over the past few weeks after TJ Court and Fayt Kasai, Tai Burns' lackies, jumped AJ from behind. After many brawls and many wars of words, their PPV match was ordered a Hardcore Match. This meant that there were no rules, so Fayt and Court could interfere at their own free will. AJ was fine with this, as he wanted to teach all three of them a lesson at the biggest show yet. Two titles would be introduced at the PPV as well. The AWF Tag Team Championship and the AWF Dream Championship. The AWF Tag Championship would be decided in a three way elimination match between Age of the Fall, The Starr Express, and The Flawless Formation. Since the second week of Anarchy, these three teams have been competing in all sorts of tag, single, and three way matches to see who had the edge going into their title match. With Jacobs winning the three way Captain's Match, and Synn winning a few singles matches of his own, it looked like Age of the Fall had the strongest advantage going into the match. For the Dream Championship, Louis Kerry and Edge were facing off in a singles match at first. But because of all the chaos they insued for the past few weeks with all their backstage brawls and such, COmmisioner Flair ordered their match would be a "lose gets fired" match, so this chaos wouldn't continue. The Dream Title was added when Buford came over to AWF from PWE, with his Dream Title. Buford would drop the title and hand it over to Flair, and Flair would dub it the AWF Dream Championship. Triple H was a big name that AWF signed, but with this big name came a big ego. Triple H complained a lot, even to his former mentor Flair that he wasn't being treated enough like the star he was. This lead to the shocking return of Christian Cage. Christian said Triple H held him down for too long in the past, and this is Cage's chance to finally show who the real star is around here. This would be a marquee battle of two huge superstars, and Cage's chance to shut Triple H up.
