CCL Revolution

CCL Revolution is a ten-episode series created by the CAW Champions League set to find who will be the newest member of the CCL roster. The series begins with eight competitors, with eliminations determined by Internet voting. The last person standing will receive a CCL contract and a World Heavyweight Championship match at a future CPV.

Revolutionaries

 * Boa The Constrictor
 * Epic Ball
 * Matt Phoenix
 * Overkill
 * Patrick Sander
 * Shawn Dynasty
 * Vector Haze
 * Xavier

Episode 1 (August 15, 2010)
In a Fatal 4-Way match, Vector Haze pinned Shawn Dynasty in just over two minutes after Epic Ball missed a moonsault trying to break up the pin. In another Fatal 4-Way bout, Xavier defeated Patrick Sander using the Million Dollar Dream. The first challenge for the Revolutionaries was "Enter In Style", in which each competitor did their entrance, and the fans voted on which one was best. The results would be revealed on the second episode.

Episode 2 (September 7, 2010)
The eight Revolutionaries would face off in four singles matches. Matt Phoenix, as the winner of the "Enter In Style" challenge, received the first choice of opponent. He chose Shawn Dynasty, and Dynasty would win for the first time following a facebuster. Overkill finished second and took on the unbeaten Vector Haze and defeated him in just under two minutes. Xavier finished in a third-place tie with Vector Haze, but won the coin toss, so he got to choose his opponent. He faced Epic Ball, and overcame an Epic Sault to win the match with a running splash. That left Patrick Sander and Boa the Constrictor to face off, with Boa getting the victory. After the matches, Sushi-X had each of the revolutionaries perform their finishing moves for this episode's challenge. The owner would also surprise the competitors by telling them that their opponents for the show would be their tag partners for the next two shows.

Episode 3 (September 28, 2010)
The eight Revolutionaries would face off in tag team action, with their opponents from the previous episode now as partners. The show began with the announcement that Overkill won the challenge with about 26% of the vote, with Matt Phoenix and Boa the Constrictor tied for second. Overkill would get 25 points, while Phoenix and Boa received 20 points each. The challenge for this episode was to convince the fans why they should not be eliminated from the competition. Each of the eight competitors had 45 seconds to make their case. It was also announced that one of them would be eliminated at the end of the next show.

In the matches, Xavier and Epic Ball took on Patrick Sander and Boa the Constrictor, with Boa pinning Epic Ball following a standing uranagi slam. Vector Haze and Overkill defeated Shawn Dynasty and Matt Phoenix with a modified facebuster. Interestingly enough, this would be the third time Haze pinned Dynasty since the competition began, and Matt Phoenix was never tagged in the match. The two winning teams faced off in the main event, with Patrick Sander defeating Overkill following a spinning sidewalk slam. This would be Patrick's first pinfall victory of the competition. Sushi-X came out following the match, announcing that the winning team would face each other for immunity in an extreme rules match, with Patrick Sander scoring the win and immunity following a Shock Treatment backbreaker.

Episode 4 (October 23, 2010)
The Revolutionaries participated in a "Diss The Rookie" challenge, where they would try to convince the CAW fans who should be eliminated from the competition and why in 45 seconds or less. Before the challenge got underway, CCL owner and founder Sushi-X announced the results of the first elimination. Boa the Constrictor, Matt Phoenix, and Overkill finished in the top three and were all safe. Patrick Sander by winning immunity on the previous show was also safe. Epic Ball and Shawn Dynasty survived elimination despite not winning a match or a challenge to this point, leaving Vector Haze and Xavier in the bottom two. Despite Vector's three wins in the competition over Shawn Dynasty, Haze had the lowest vote percentage and was eliminated.

The remaining Revolutionaries faced off in tag team and singles action. Shawn Dynasty earned his first win of the competition with Matt Phoenix over Epic Ball and Xavier. In a bizarre finish, Shawn shoulder blocked Epic down while Ball was in mid-taunt. Xavier it seemed did not make an effort to save the match for his team. In the singles bout, Boa the Constrictor (with Patrick Sander) lost to Overkill by disqualification when Sander interfered in the match. A post-match fight broke out, ending with Overkill hitting Boa's head with a ring bell.

That would leave Shawn Dynasty, Matt Phoenix, and Overkill in a triple-threat match for immunity. Matt's sit-out spinebuster on the much larger Overkill would prove the difference after a grueling bout, and Phoenix would guarantee a spot in the next round.
