Corporate America takes out Damien Strange on the way to a Hostile Takeover

Posted: Jul 18th 2006 By: CMBurnham

Corporate America have had issues with AACW Commissioner Damien Strange almost since the day AACW opened and they gained a certain measure of revenge against the commissioner, but in the end had some of their accomplishments undermined by the Disciples of Allah.

Michael James & Terry Pantera were joined by Talon and returning Corporate America member Tommy St. Charles in a match against the Disciples of Discipline. As the match progressed, Outlaw seemed reluctant to let his partner Slash take any action towards Talon and eventually, Outlaw would use his branding iron on his partner, costing his team the match. Outlaw then was embraced by his sister and welcomed into the Corporate America fold. He turned to stomp on his partner until Glen Steel arrived to rescue Slash.

Later that night, Otis was set to challenge Prophet for the AACW Television Title, but 3rd Rail came out with things on his mind. He told Prophet that it should be him in that ring, not some "decrepit dinosaur". He mentioned that he used to be in the House of Strange, but Damien kicked him out and replaced him with Prophet, than gave Prophet the big push that should have been his. 3rd Rail demanded a title shot that night. Damien Strange came out and said that the winner of the match would defend the TV title against 3rd Rail at the next show. At this point, Talon came out to escort her charge back to the dressing room, but that wouldn't last. Shortly after the match began, 3rd Rail returned to ringside with a chair, sitting in a corner to scout. He doesn't stay out of the situation for long as the match spills outside the ring. While the referee is trying to get Prophet back in, 3rd Rail takes his chair and stiffly hits it across Otis' back. The referee calls for the bell, but all 3 men lock up in a struggle in the ring. Eventually, Trailer Park Trash, members of the Family and Talon will come out to the ring to break up this struggle. There were harsh stares and a wary carefulness as both Prophet and 3rd Rail, with their associates, went back up the ramp to prepare for the main event.

In the main event that night for the vacant AACW title, the final 4 competitors in the battle royal were Glen Steel, Jack Dalton, 3rd Rail and Prophet. Rail and Prophet laid into each other with stiff blows while Steel and Dalton wisely avoided any contact with the enraged men. Prophet and Rail would eliminate each other and a few moments later, Steel would eliminate Dalton to become the AACW Champion. But that's when the unexpected occurred.

Damien Strange came down to the ring to congratulate his House of Strange member, but he is unexpectedly attacked by members of Corporate America. They set him up in the corner where he becomes the victim of not 1 but 2 devestating running splashes from 3rd Rail. Strange crumpled to the mat and lay prone until the rest of the House of Strange and Otis come running to his rescue. Strange is immediately escorted out of the building by Otis and the House of Strange, while Talon remains at ringside watching intently. And then the revelation. Down the ramp comes Kareem Sadat & Mustafa Sharmoot, carrying a briefcase. They present it to Talon as thanks for talking out Strange, who they had had issues with earlier in the show. Talon accepts the briefcase, but before she can leave the ring, she is clotheslined by Sadat. Sharmoot recovers the briefcase and scampers up the ramp as members of Corporate America come to Talon's aid.

At this point, there has been no communication about Damien Strange's condition. Neither Corporate America nor the Disciples of Allah have made any comments regarding their actions. Obviously, there is no honour amongst thieves in AACW and while these 2 groups may not be able to trust each other, they certainly now have a common enemy: the House of Strange.
