(EAW intro plays.)
(Various shots of the crowd are shown, across different EAW events. All of their differing reactions are shown, from cheering, to booing, to shock, to sorrow. The multiple scenes focus on each set of reactions, encapsulating the rollercoaster of emotions that comes from each EAW show.)
(It then transitions to the scenes of the Dynasty marquee events from last season. The previous Reckless Wiring, House Of Glass, and Operation: Doomsday all are the center of attention. Playing over the background music is the cheers of the crowd. But as it transitions from marquee event to marquee event, the clips glitch in and out at a rapid pace.)
(The cheering begins to intensify. The louder and louder the fans go, it starts to distort. As the crowd’s noise distorts, clips of people using computers, phones and tablets are the new focus. The social media presence of EAW and many of its superstars pop up on the screen, and then a voice booms in the background.)
Narrator: There is no doubt that with the top notch production of EAW on a week to week basis that the crowds are valued… But tonight is the one night where the power is placed in the hands of the people. Polls to determine the stipulation of each match, all based on what the fans think… and what they want.
(The social media stream glitches into clips of the ongoing conflict between Daniella Atlas and Holly Arrow, with Mia Santoro joining the fray. It then transitions to the return of Chris Elite and confrontation with his opponent, Kirk Redwood. The scene transitions to the many accomplishments and victories from Minerva and Raven Roberts across EAW, glitching out to the two facing off.)
(After fading to black, it shows a black and white feed of the world championship winning Cy Henderson and Drake King, glitching to their current looks and encounters with their respective opponents, Rex McAllister and the King Of Elite winner Joso. It then glitches out to the champions of Dynasty, BRAE and Hans Grayson picking up their wins at Pain For Pride, then overlaid by the rise of Vincent Mondrian and Shinzo Sasaki coming for championship gold.)
(It moves to brief clips of Saori Aizen coming into Dynasty and her alliance with Usagi Senshi, matching up to the Jaded Hearts and their success as a tag team on Dynasty — coming back to the show to defend the belts they won as members of the Dynasty roster.)
(Closing out the video is the dominant World Heavyweight Champion Myles and his extremely arrogant and fast rising challenger, Drake Armstrong. From their first encounter where Drake made himself stand out as the challenger to their final one, it glitches from a close up of Myles raising the World Heavyweight Championship to Drake Armstrong raising it up. It goes over and over, until the camera glitches to a static.)
Narrator: And now… Brought to you by Starry and Borderlands, live from The Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada… EAW BRINGS TO YOU!

(Pyro shoots out of the skies and the camera pans around to the ecstatic and hyped up crowd in the extremely unique looking Sphere. After focusing on the fans, it then transitions to the commentary team.)
Stew-O: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE ARRIVED! RECKLESS WIRING IS UPON US AND WE HAVE A HUGE CARD FOR YOU ALL! WHAT YOU’RE HEARING AT HOME IS THE SAME LINEUP AS ALWAYS! I AM STEW-O, AND JOINING ME IS MY ESTEEMED PARTNERS JAKE MERCER AND FLANNERY MCCOY!
Jake Mercer: To say tonight is a stacked show would be a massive understatement! Every match on this show is completely different from the other and it is all thanks to the fans for making this happen! And now we could be seeing a huge change in the landscape of Dynasty on just our first marquee event of Season 18!
Flannery McCoy: I am beyond excited for what that could mean! We’ve got FOUR championship matches tonight, and many matches that could certainly have implications for future ones! I don’t even know where to start!
Stew-O: I’ll help you out with that! LET’S GET RIGHT INTO THE SHOW! COMING UP NEXT IS OUR OPENING MATCHUP OF THE NIGHT! GET READY, FOLKS!

(The camera returns to ringside, where Stephie Love is seen holding a microphone in her hand. Before long, she begins to speak.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is a BULLROPE MATCH!!!!!!
(‘Sinister Purpose’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival hits, and there’s a mixed, but overall positive reaction from the crowd as Kirk Redwood begins to walk out. Kirk has an extremely focused look on his face as he walks out, staring directly towards the ring and paying attention to nothing else. Kirk knows that this is the fight he was looking for, and without wasting time he begins walking down the ramp, heading towards the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first!… From Boston, Massachusetts… Weighing in at 210 pounds… KKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRKK RREEDDDDWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: This is a bullrope match, and if you’re not familiar with this match, allow me to explain. If you want to win, you’ll need to hit all four corners of the ring before your opponent does. While it sounds simple, the problem is that both Elitists will be connected to a rope, with a cowbell directly in the center of it. There are no disqualifications, so this could be far tougher than expected.
Jake Mercer: Well Kirk Redwood is here, and we know why this match is happening. Kirk has come a long way as a competitor, and we’ve seen lately on Dynasty that he wasn’t satisfied with his competition. He wanted better, and he got that.
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, but I don’t think anyone expected Chris Elite to return to EAW like this. Is Kirk prepared for this, or could he be in over his head right now?
(After this, ‘Many Men’ by 50 Cent begins to play. This causes the crowd to explode with cheers. The camera pans towards the stage, and Chris Elite begins to walk out to the stage, ready to compete for the first time in months. Chris takes a moment and looks towards the fans, before shifting his attention towards Kirk Redwood in the ring. Chris begins walking down the ramp, focused on winning his first match since making his return to EAW last week.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent!… From Brooklyn, New York!… Weighing in at 210 pounds… CHHRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSS!!!!!!!! EEEEELLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Chris Elite is back in EAW, and he said himself that he’s prepared. This should be a Chris Elite that’s ready for in-ring competition, and that could be very dangerous for Kirk Redwood tonight. I suppose we’ll have to see whether or not Kirk can handle a match like this.
Jake Mercer: At the same time, who’s to say ring rust isn’t still there after all? It’s been months, and Chris didn’t win his last few matches either! I wouldn’t count Kirk Redwood out tonight, especially knowing that he’s the one that wanted the fight.
Flannery McCoy: It’s rare that you say something smart, but you’re right. Both men have a chance in this match, especially considering the unconventional stipulation.
(The referee ties the ends of the rope to the wrist of both Elitists. Kirk Redwood and Chris Elite are staring directly at each other, waiting as the bell finally rings.)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: THIS MATCH IS UNDERWAY, AS KIRK REDWOOD GOES ONE ON ONE WITH THE RETURNING CHRIS ELITE! BOTH MEN BEGIN TO CIRCLE THE RING, KNOWING THAT THEY NEED TO HIT ALL FOUR CORNERS IF THEY WANT TO WIN! This won’t just be a matter of keeping the opponent down for a three count. If you want to win, you need to find an opportunity to hit all four corners with that rope connected to them, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THESE TWO AREN’T BOTHERING ATTEMPTING TO HIT THE CORNERS YET, AS THEY GO RIGHT AT EACH OTHER TO GET THIS ONE STARTED!
Jake Mercer: KIRK AND CHRIS BEGIN TRADING FOREARMS AS THEY STRUGGLE TO GAIN CONTROL OVER THIS ONE- AND KIRK SWINGS AT CHRIS BUT CHRIS IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT AND CONNECT WITH THE HEAD SHOT!!!! PELE KICK CONNECTS AS KIRK REDWOOD IS ON SPAGHETTI LEGS, AND THIS LOOKS LIKE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY HERE AS CHRIS JUMPS ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE FOR A SPRINGBOARD-
Flannery McCoy: KIRK CATCHES CHRIS! KIRK CAUGHT CHRIS WITH A WAISTLOCK, AND NOW HE LOOKS TO HIT HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Stew-O: CHRIS IS ABLE TO FLIP OUT OF IT, THOUGH! HE LANDS ON HIS FEET, AND AS SOON AS KIRK TURNS AROUND HE’S CAUGHT WITH A DISCUS LARIAT!!!! Chris Elite is on fire in the opening moments of this match, and it looks like he’s now about to try his hand at ending this early on as he makes his way to the corner of the ring and hits the first corner! Chris Elite now beginning to make his way over to the second corner…
Jake Mercer: BUT KIRK REDWOOD PULLS ON THE ROPE, HOLDING CHRIS BACK AS HE RETURNS TO HIS FEET! CHRIS TURNS TOWARDS KIRK- AND KIRK PULLS CHRIS INTO AN UPPERCUT! The corner resets as Chris Elite is stunned, BUT KIRK DOESN’T STOP THERE! He follows that move up with more punches, catching Chris in the jaw with a right hook as he drops down to a knee! Kirk looking to take control of this one now, AS HE DELIVERS A SHOOT KICK TO THE CHEST! KIRK NOW WITH A SECOND ONE AS CHRIS DROPS DOWN TO ALL FOURS, AND I THINK THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY AS ANY FOR KIRK HERE AS HE TURNS HIS ATTENTION TOWARDS THE CORNER OF THE RING, POSSIBLY THINKING OF PUTTING THIS ONE AWAY!
Flannery McCoy: HE DOESN’T GET THE OPPORTUNITY THOUGH, AS CHRIS QUICKLY RUSHES IN AND STEPS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE, JUMPING ONTO KIRK’S SHOULDERS FOR A HURRICANRANA! KIRK STUMBLES BACK TO HIS FEET NOW, AND CHRIS RUNS IN BEFORE TAKING KIRK REDWOOD OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE, SENDING CHRIS OUT WITH HIM!!! THESE TWO ARE CONNECTED BY THE ROPE, BUT DESPITE THAT CHRIS WAS ABLE TO AVOID LANDING AT RINGSIDE WITH KIRK AND INSTEAD DROP ONTO THE APRON! Chris waits a moment as Kirk begins pulling himself up, and it looks like he has something on his mind! Kirk gets back up, AND NOW CHRIS JUMPS OFF THE APRON FOR A-
Stew-O: NO! KIRK JUST GRABBED THE COWBELL THAT’S CONNECTED TO THE ROPE AND HIT CHRIS RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH IT!!! CHRIS DROPS DOWN TO HIS KNEES AFTER BEING CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THAT BELL, AND NOW KIRK TAKES THE OPPORTUNITY TO GRAB CHRIS BY THE HEAD AND SLAM HIS HEAD INTO THE RING APRON! Chris drops down onto the ringside floor, and if you needed any reminder that this match is no disqualifications, there you go! These two have the freedom to do whatever they want, as long as it ends in them hitting the four corners!
Jake Mercer: Kirk Redwood slowly begins dragging Chris back up, AND CHRIS BEGINS PUNCHING HIM IN THE RIBS TO TRY AND FREE HIMSELF, BUT KIRK RESPONDS BY PULLING CHRIS UP AND DELIVERING A NASTY EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Chris is in a bad way at the moment as Kirk Redwood drags him towards the steel steps! We know these two are limited in movement to an extent thanks to the rope, so instead of throwing Chris into the steps it looks like Kirk has other plans for Chris as he begins to set the Hall of Famer up for something!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk Redwood lifts Chris up for a powerbomb- BUT CHRIS SLIPS OUT OF HIS GRASP, LANDING BACK ON HIS FEET BEFORE DROPPING DOWN AND GRABBING KIRK! NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX ONTO THE STEEL STEPS BY CHRIS ELITE!!!! THAT WAS A VICIOUS MOVE AS KIRK GOES SPINE FIRST INRO THE EDGE OF THOSE STEEL STEPS, SHOUTING OUT IN PAIN AS ELITE RETURNS TO HIS FEET! Chris has a great opportunity here, but he knows he can’t go for the win without making sure Kirk stays down, so he drags Kirk back up before heading towards the timekeepers area!
Stew-O: Chris Elite is at the timekeepers area, and he slams Kirk’s face into the barricade! Chris now grabbing a steel chair as Kirk begins pulling himseld up, AND CHRIS HITS KIRK RIGHT OVER THE HEAD WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!! KIRK DROPS DOWN ONTO THE GROUND, AND CHRIS CONNECTS WITH A SECOND CHAIR SHOT! A THIRD NOW BY CHRIS, AND NOW CHRIS TOSSES THE CHAIR AWAY BEFORE GRABBING KIRK AND ROLLING HIM INTO THE RING! I THINK CHRIS HAS JUST FOUND A WAY TO KEEP KIRK DOWN LONG ENOUGH TO HIT ALL FOUR CORNERS!
Jake Mercer: Chris Elite slides into the ring, and he’s quick to hit the first corner! Chris is looking to have a successful return match, and this could be it right here! Kirk is still down, and this allows Chris to head to the second corner and hit it! Kirk Redwood was hit with that steel chair repeatedly right after being dropped back first onto the steel steps, so he could be out of this one! Chris Elite only has two corners left, and it’s not like it’ll take long to reach those! Chris heads to the third corner-
Flannery McCoy: BUT KIRK IS FINALLY ABLE TO GET BACK UP, AND JUST AS CHRIS HIT THE CORNER, KIRK JUMPED UP BEHIND HIM AND WRAPPED THE ROPE AROUND CHRIS’ THROAT! KIRK FALLS BACK ONTO THE MAT, AND HE’S HOLDING ONTO CHRIS WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED SLEEPER HOLD!! THIS ISN’T A MATCH WHERE PINFALLS AND SUBMISSIONS COUNT, BUT KEEPING CHRIS DOWN IS EXACTLY WHAT KIRK NEEDS TO DO IF HE WANTS TO WIN THIS! ALL THREE CORNERS HAVE RESET THANKS TO THIS, MEANING THAT NEXT TIME CHRIS GOES FOR THE CORNERS, HE ONCE AGAIN HAS TO HIT ALL FOUR OF THEM!
Stew-O: Yeah, and that’s if he’s even able to try! Chris is in trouble right now as Kirk has that sleeper hold in, and I have to say this was a very unique match for Chris Elite’s return! Not just because of the stipulation, but because of the kind of wrestler Kirk Redwood is! You don’t walk out of matches against this guy unscathed, and Chris Elite might be forced to realize that here as Kirk might just be close to forcing him to pass out! If that happens, Kirk will have the easiest time possible hitting all four corners!
Jake Mercer: CHRIS DOESN’T GO DOWN YET, THOUGH! CHRIS HAS TURNED HIMSELF OVER, BEFORE PUSHING HIMSELF UP TO A KNEE! CHRIS IS TRYING TO POWER HIMSELF UP WHILE KIRK REDWOOD HAS HIM IN THIS SLEEPER HOLD, AND KNOWING THAT A ROPE IS BEING USED TO CHOKE HIM OUT, I CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE HOW DIFFICULT THIS MUST BE! Chris slowly powers himself back to his feet while Kirk Redwood is on his back, AND LOOK AT THIS! CHRIS ELITE IS ABLE TO LIFT KIRK INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY, BEFORE HITTING HIM WITH THE MOMENT OF CLARITY!!! FIREMAN’S CARRY ROUNDHOUSE KICK CONNECTS, AND BOTH MEN DROP TO THE MAT AS CHRIS IS FORCED TO FINALLY CATCH HIS BREATH!
Flannery McCoy: Chris didn’t have much of a chance to capitalize on that huge move, but it’s a good thing he did it anyway as that may have been the only way to avoid passing out in that sleeper hold! Chris is able to return to his feet, but thanks to all that time passing Kirk is getting back up as well! Chris doesn’t allow that to be the case for long though, AS HE GRABS THE COWBELL AND HITS KIRK IN THE JAW WITH IT, CAUSING KIRK TO FALL TO THE MAT BY THE APRON!! Kirk is basically hanging out the ring, and this has been a very hard hitting match so far!
Stew-O: Chris won’t be able to reach all four corners with Kirk like this, so he begins dragging Kirk back into the ring-
(*CRACK!*)
Stew-O: WAIT A SECOND! KIRK WAS ABLE TO GRAB BRASS KNUCKLES FROM UNDER THE RING WHILE HE WAS HANGING OUT THERE, AND HE JUST TURNED AND HIT CHRIS ELITE IN THE FACE WITH THEM WHILE BEING DRAGGED BACK INTO THE RING! Kirk Redwood showing that violent side of him once more as Chris Elite might just be out cold, but Kirk is still hurting after being hit with the cowbell!
Jake Mercer: Kirk will be fine. There’s a reason people call him the man of steel! Kirk is crawling over towards Chris Elite, AND HE LANDS A SECOND PUNCH TO THE FACE WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES! A SECOND ONE NOW! A THIRD! KIRK REDWOOD IS TRYING TO DESTROY CHRIS ELITE’S FACE WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THESE TWO ARE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER’S NECESSARY IN ORDER TO PUT EACH OTHER DOWN TONIGHT! Kirk Redwood finally pushes himself back up before dropping the brass knuckles, and this time he’s the one going after the corners of the ring as he hits the first corner!
Flannery McCoy: You know I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone call Kirk that, but that’s besides the point! We may be seeing this match come to an end in just a few moments! Kirk Redwood walks over towards the second corner, and he’s able to hit the corner! This could be a great win for Kirk Redwood to get on track and climb up the ladder, and seeing the blood start to pour down Chris Elite’s face, I think he might just get what he wants! Kirk now… MAKING HIS WAY TO THE THIRD CORNER! KIRK WILL ONLY HAVE ONE LEFT IF HE HITS THIS!
Stew-O: CHRIS DOESN’T LET IT HAPPEN, THOUGH! CHRIS BEGINS PULLING ON THE ROPE WHILE ON THE MAT, TRYING HIS BEAT TO HOLD KIRK BACK! KIRK IS ABLE TO REACH OUT AND HIT THE THIRD CORNER, BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER UNLESS HE’S ABLE TO HIT THE FOURTH CORNER BEFORE IT RESETS! IS KIRK GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT, OR WILL CHRIS ELITE BE ABLE TO STOP HIM!?
Jake Mercer: Chris is able to push himself back to a knee, still holding onto the rope- AND KIRK REALIZES THAT HE’S OUT OF TIME, SO INSTEAD OF PURSUING THE FINAL CORNER HE RUNS THE ROPES! BLITZKREIG BOP!
Flannery McCoy: NO! CHRIS ELITE DUCKS UNDER IT, AND AS BOTH MEN GET BACK UP, CHRIS PULLS ON THE ROPE TO TURN KIRK TOWARDS HIM BEFORE IMMEDIATELY RUNNING IN! OPEN YA MATA, THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE CONNECTS ON KIRK REDWOOD AS KIRK FALLS THROUGH THE ROPES AND OUT OF THE RING! WHAT A MOVE BY CHRIS ELITE TO GET BACK INTO THIS!
Stew-O: Yeah, but that might’ve been the most convenient outcome of that knee strike for Kirk! He fell out of the ring, so thanks to that rope Chris can’t go for the corners yet! Chris hangs onto the ropes to remain on his feet, but he’s not too thrilled about the fact that Kirk managed to stay in this one thanks to something like this. Chris just shakes his head before pulling himself out onto the apron, AND FROM THE APRON HE JUST DELIVERS A MOONSAULT ONTO KIRK REDWOOD! Chris wasn’t able to springboard off the ropes or go up top thanks to the rope, but it looks like the apron was more than enough for him to deliver that move!
Jake Mercer: Chris Elite now pulling himself up, and he climbs back up onto the apron before pulling Kirk Redwood up there with him! Chris could’ve sent him back into the ring, but it looks like he has another plan for him right now! Chris begins pulling Kirk up, AND HE STARTS BY DELIVERING REPEATED ELBOWS RIGHT TO THE HEAD OF KIRK! Kirk has to be out of it right now, and Chris Elite uses this opportunity to set up for… I THINK HE’S GOING FOR A SUPLEX ON THE APRON!
Flannery McCoy: HE WAS, BUT KIRK IS ABLE TO DELIVER A KNEE TO THE HEAD BEFORE LANDING BACK DOWN ONTO THE APRON! KIRK LANDS SAFELY, AND NOW HE DELIVERS A PUNCH TO THE RIBS OF ELITE! Chris Elite forced to stumble back, but Kirk doesn’t have it in him to immediately capitalize after the damage he’s taken! Thanks to this, CHRIS IS QUICKLY ABLE TO RETALIATE WITH A BOOT TO THE JAW OF KIRK! Kirk grabs onto the ropes just to avoid falling off the apron, BUT CHRIS DELIVERS A SECOND BOOT TO KIRK, BEFORE ONCE AGAIN ATTEMPTING TO LIFT HIM UP! WHAT IS CHRIS PLANNING!?
Stew-O: IT LOOKS LIKE WE’RE NOT GOING TO FIND OUT, AS KIRK ONCE AGAIN IS ABLE TO PULL HIMSELF BACK DOWN! KIRK HAS CHRIS IN A FRONT FACELOCK, AND HE BEGINS TO REPEATEDLY DROP ELBOWS DOWN ON THE BACK OF ELITE’S HEAD, BEFORE LIFTING CHRIS UP AND DROPPING HIM WITH THE BRAINDEAD BUSTER ONTO THE APRON!!!! BOTH MEN TUMBLE OUT TO RINGSIDE, BUT THAT WAS ONE HELL OF A MOVE BY KIRK REDWOOD AS CHRIS JUST WENT HEAD FIRST INTO THE APRON!
Jake Mercer: These two are really tearing each other apart tonight! Neither man can even move after what Kirk just did, but it just goes to show how much these two want to leave Reckless Wiring with this victory! Both men have taken some insane damage, but who will actually leave this match with the victory!? As it stands right now, both men may as well be on equal footing as they’ll BOTH need to return to the ring if either of them want to hit the four corners! This match could still go either way right now!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk Redwood slowly grabs onto the apron, using it to pull himself back up to his feet! Kirk takes a moment to catch his breath, and he begins dragging Chris back up before sending him back into the ring! Kirk quickly follows behind, and Chris should still be hurting from that butterfly brainbuster. Is Kirk going to use this opportunity to go after the four corners!?
Stew-O: THAT WAS A GOOD QUESTION, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE ANSWER IS NO! KIRK IS LIFTING CHRIS UP, AND HE’S TRYING TO SET HIM UP FOR DOWN TO HELL!!!!
Jake Mercer: HE’S NOT ABLE TO GET IT, THOUGH! CHRIS IS ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF KIRK’S GRASP BEFORE PULLING KIRK DOWN, AND HE LIFTS KIRK UP, CONNECTING WITH A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB!!! Chris Elite just avoided what could’ve been a match ending move right there, and in the process did some serious damage to Kirk Redwood, who isn’t looking too good right now! Chris Elite begins to slowly drag himself back to his feet! Chris knows he needs to keep Kirk down, so he takes a look at the rope, BEFORE USING IT AS A WHIP, HITTING KIRK REPEATEDLY WITH IT!
Flannery McCoy: DON’T FORGET, THAT COWBELL IS CONNECTED TO THE ROPE AND KIRK IS REPEATEDLY GETTING HIT WITH IT! I DON’T KNOW HOW KIRK IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND THIS KIND OF PAIN, BUT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT CHRIS ELITE NEEDED! KIRK REDWOOD IS TRYING TO PROTECT HIMSELF FROM THESE SHOTS, BUT WITH THE ROPE CONNECTED TO BOTH ELITISTS THERE’S NOWHERE HE CAN ESCAPE TO! CHRIS FINALLY LETS GO OF THE ROPE, AND NOW AS SOON AS KIRK SITS UP, HE HITS KIRK IN THE FACE WITH A PENALTY KICK! IS THIS IT!? CHRIS IS LOOKING AT THE FOUR CORNERS!
Stew-O: CHRIS GOES AFTER THE FIRST CORNER, AND HE HITS IT! KIRK REDWOOD IS DOWN AND OUT RIGHT NOW, AND THIS ALLOWS CHRIS TO GO RIGHT TO THE SECOND CORNER AND HIT IT SUCCESSFULLY!! THERE’S ONLY TWO CORNERS LEFT, AND KIRK REDWOOD STILL HASN’T GOTTEN BACK UP! AT THIS POINT, WE MIGHT HAVE OUR WINNER!!!! CHRIS ELITE GOES FOR THE THIRD CORNER, AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!! THERE’S ONLY ONE LEFT BEFORE THIS MATCH COMES TO AN END!
Jake Mercer: CHRIS ELITE GOES FOR THE FINAL CORNER!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT KIRK REDWOOD IS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP HIM, GRABBING ONTO HIS LEG!!!
Stew-O: Chris Elite turns towards Kirk, annoyed that he’s being stopped like this! Chris has a little bit of time before the corners reset, so he’s trying to get Kirk off of him quickly so he can hurry and hit the final corner! Kirk is trying to pull himself back up, BUT CHRIS PUSHES HIM AWAY BEFORE GOING FOR THE BOX OFFICE SMASH!!!!!
Jake Mercer: NO! KIRK WAS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT BEFORE SCOOPING CHRIS UP!!!! KIRK IS HOLDING CHRIS UP, AND NOW HE RUNS INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING BEFORE PLANTING CHRIS ELITE WITH DOWN TO HELL!!!! DOWN TO HELL CONNECTS ON CHRIS ELITE, AND THIS MATCH COULD BE AS GOOD AS OVER!
Flannery McCoy: THE PROBLEM IS, KIRK REDWOOD IS DOWN ON THE MAT, TOO!!! KIRK HAS TAKEN SO MUCH DAMAGE IN THIS MATCH THAT HE WASN’T ABLE TO EASILY GET BACK TO HIS FEET FOLLOWING THE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER! Kirk is forced to roll towards the ropes, slowly beginning to drag himself back to his feet, but will he have enough time to hit all four corners!? Kirk has given Chris a lot of time to recover, but at the same time, that was Kirk’s own finishing move he just hit Chris with!
Stew-O: KIRK GETS BACK UP, AND NOW HE PULLS HIMSELF OVER TOWARDS THE FIRST CORNER AND HITS! KIRK NOW HEADING OVER TO THE SECOND CORNER, AND HE’S ABLE TO HIT THAT AS WELL!!! I THINK CHRIS ELITE MIGHT BE OUT OF THIS ONE GUYS! HE WAS JUST HIT WITH THAT DEVASTATING TOMBSTONE BY KIRK, AND NOW KIRK IS ON HIS WAY TOWARDS THE THIRD CORNER!!!! KIRK REDWOOD IS ABLE TO HIT IT, AND NOW HE GOES TOWARDS THE FINAL CORNER!!
Jake Mercer: KIRK REDWOOD HITS THE FINAL CORNER!!!! THAT’S IT!!!!!!
(…..)
(………..)
Flannery McCoy: NO!!! JUST BEFORE KIRK COULD TOUCH THE FINAL CORNER, CHRIS PULLED ON THE ROPE AS HARD AS HE POSSIBLY COULD, PULLING KIRK BACK AND AWAY FROM THE CORNER!
Stew-O: KIRK TRIES TO REACH FOR THE FINAL CORNER, BUT CHRIS IS ABLE TO PULL HIMSELF TOWARDS KIRK AND GRAB HIM BY THE ARM, WRESTLING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT AND NOW LOOKING TO RETURN THE FAVOR FROM EARLIER AS HE PULLS THE ROPE AGAINST KIRK’S THROAT! CHRIS IS CHOKING KIRK OUT USING THE ROPE, AND JUST AS THIS MATCH WAS ABOUT TO END, CHRIS FOUND A WAY TO SAVE IT!
Jake Mercer: CHRIS DOESN’T HAVE ALL THE STRENGTH HE HAD EARLIER IN THIS MATCH THOUGH, AND THANKS TO THAT KIRK IS ABLE TO BEGIN DELIVERING BACK ELBOWS, FORCING CHRIS OFF OF HIM! Kirk is able to free himself from Chris’ grasp quickly, but it looks like Chris did everything he needed to do as the corners have all reset! Kirk Redwood just barely missed out on what had to have been his best shot at winning this match against the Hall of Famer, and that has to be frustrating if you’re Kirk Redwood right now!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, but Kirk is remaining focused rather than letting that get to him. Both Elitists are slowly beginning to find their way back up to their feet, AND KIRK HITS CHRIS WITH A PUNCH TO THE JAW! Chris begins to stumble, nearly dropping to a knee, BUT HE IS ABLE TO CATCH KIRK WITH A FOREARM! This time it’s Kirk that stumbles, BUT HE QUICKLY DELIVERS AN ELBOW STRIKE! These two are going back and forth with these strikes, AND CHRIS ELITE LOOKS FOR “SNOOZE”- BUT KIRK IS ABLE TO PULL HIS HEAD BACK BEFORE GRABBING CHRIS! BRAINDEAD BUSTER!
Stew-O: NO! CHRIS IS ABLE TO PULL HIMSELF OUT OF KIRK’S GRASP BEFORE HITTING HIM WITH AN ENZUIGIRI! BOTH ELITISTS DROP DOWN TO THE MAT ONCE MORE, BUT CHRIS ELITE IS SLOWLY ABLE TO BEGIN PUSHING HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET! CHRIS ELITE IS STARTING TO LOOK FIRED UP HERE, AND NOW HE DRAGS KIRK REDWOOD UP BEFORE BEGINNING TO SET HIM UP! CHRIS ELITE GOES FOR DEAD ROSES!!!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!! KIRK IS ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF IT AND PUSH CHRIS AWAY, AND NOW AS SOON AS CHRIS TURNS AROUND, HE’S MET WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE!
Flannery McCoy: Chris Elite drops down to a knee, AND NOW KIRK REDWOOD QUICKLY RUNS THE ROPES- AND HE WAS LOOKING FOR THE BLITZKRIEG BOP, BUT ELITE IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER THAT BEFORE GRABBING THE COWBELL AND HITTING KIRK IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH IT! KIRK GRABS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD IN PAIN, AND NOW CHRIS QUICKLY GRABS KIRK BEFORE LIFTING HIM INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY!
Stew-O: KIRK IMMEDIATELY BEGINS DELIVERING ELBOWS TO THE BACK OF CHRIS ELITE’S HEAD THOUGH, CAUSING CHRIS TO BE FORCED TO LET GO OF HIM! KIRK DROPS DOWN ONTO HIS FEET BEHIND CHRIS, AND HE DROPS HIM WITH A DRAGON SUPLEX!!!!
Jake Mercer: Kirk Redwood now beginning to back up, and it looks like he has a big move planned for Chris as he waits for him to get back up! At this point Kirk clearly knows that Chris won’t stay down long enough to hit all four corners unless he delivers something with enough power to keep him down, and I believe that’s exactly what he’s about to do! Chris is slowly beginning to get back up, and I don’t think this is gonna end well for him!
Flannery McCoy: KIRK REDWOOD RUSHES IN, AND HE HITS THE PAROLE VIOLATION!!!!
Stew-O: NO, HE DIDN’T GET IT!!!! KIRK WASN’T ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THE PAROLE VIOLATION! KIRK WENT FOR THE SOMERSAULT SPEAR, BUT CHRIS CAUGHT KIRK AND IMMEDIATELY DROPPED HIM WITH DEAD ROSES!!! CHRIS ELITE WITH DEAD ROSES TO TAKE OUT KIRK REDWOOD, DROPPING HIM ON HIS HEAD, AND I BELIEVE KIRK’S PLAN TO KEEP CHRIS DOWN HAS OFFICIALLY BACKFIRED!!! CHRIS ELITE JUST DROPPED KIRK REDWOOD, AND YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!!!! THIS IS CHRIS ELITE’S CHANCE TO HIT ALL FOUR CORNERS AND WIN THIS MATCH!
Jake Mercer: CHRIS ELITE PUSHES HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET, AND NOW HE QUICKLY HITS THE FIRST CORNER!!! CHRIS ELITE STUMBLES OVER TOWARDS THE SECOND CORNER, AND HE’S ABLE TO HIT THAT AS WELL!!! CHRIS MIGHT JUST HAVE THIS WON, AS HE’S HEADING OVER TOWARDS THE THIRD CORNER, ALL WHILE KIRK IS DOWN AND OUT ON THE MAT! KIRK REDWOOD MIGHT JUST BE DONE, AS CHRIS ELITE IS ABLE TO HIT THE THIRD CORNER!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: CHRIS ONLY HAS ONE MORE CORNER LEFT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING!!!! CHRIS IS ON THE VERGE OF WINNING THIS MATCH AND HAVING A SUCCESSFUL RETURN MATCH- BUT WAIT A SECOND! LOOK!!!!
Stew-O: KIRK REDWOOD IS SLOWLY BEGINNING TO STIR, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE STILL HAS A BIT OF FIGHT LEFT! KIRK IS ON ALL FOURS, AND NOW CHRIS NEEDS TO MAKE A DECISION BEFORE KIRK IS ABLE TO GET BACK UP!
Jake Mercer: Kirk Redwood is slowly finding the strength to push himself to all fours, AND NOW CHRIS ELITE CHARGES IN AND DIVES ONTO HIM, CONNECTING WITH “SLIME YOU OUT”!!!!! CHRIS JUST HIT THE FOREARM TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD, AND NOW FINALLY HE DIVES TOWARDS THE FINAL CORNER, TRYING TO MAKE IT BEFORE IT RESETS, BUT WILL HE MAKE IT IN TIME!?!?!?

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner… CCHHHRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS EEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Many Men’ hits, and Chris Elite slowly grabs onto the middle rope, using it to drag himself back to his feet. The crowd explodes with cheers following Chris Elite’s victory, and the referee heads over to Chris Elite to remove the rope tying him to Kirk Redwood. As this happens, Chris wipes the blood away from his face, taking a moment to look at the crowd following his first match back in EAW.)
Stew-O: WOW! What a win for Chris Elite, who just went to war tonight! Kirk Redwood brought a fight tonight after wanting a good challenge, but ultimately Chris Elite was able to once again show everyone exactly why he’s a Hall of Famer!
Jake Mercer: That was a fantastic match, and I think Kirk Redwood put up a great fight there! Chris Elite was barely able to make it to that final corner though, allowing him to win this match after that brutal forearm smash to the back of the head!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk Redwood should definitely be proud of his performance tonight, but this was Chris Elite’s night. What a return this has been for the Hall of Famer!
Stew-O: Congratulations to Chris Elite for winning his first match back!
(‘Many Men’ continues to play, and Chris Elite has his hand raised by the referee as a smirk appears on his face, having won the match. Chris Elite steps up onto the middle rope, celebrating his victory as Reckless Wiring fades away from ringside.)

(The camera returns to the arena when the lights begin to flicker as there’s a shot of the Chamber of Blood lingering in the air. Its features are shown including a steel cage with the wall of the cage having razorblades alongside them. We can also see a wide variety of weapons scattered throughout the ring. The view can be considered quite intimidating as the camera focuses on Stephie Love at ringside as she begins the introductions for this next contest.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the special DOOMSDAY CHAMBER OF BLOOD MATCH!
(The crowd starts to cheer even louder after the announcement of the upcoming match.)
Stephie Love: In this match, the only way to win is by PINFALL! But before a pinfall can occur on a participant, the participant MUST BE BLEEDING!

Stew-O: Here comes Holly Arrow and she is the most experienced competitor in this match and it could go a long way in helping her win this match involving three competitors who have been fighting since what seems like the beginning of the season.
Jake Mercer: Part of me wishes that the bra and panties match still won the vote, but I will try to enjoy this match as much as I can given the circumstances.
Flannery McCoy: Holly couldn’t get the win last week against Minerva, but since she is the only person in this match who has been a champion. That experience edge and the intensity she has could propel her to victory in this match.
(Holly is careful to watch out for the razor wire as she enters the ring. She takes a look around the battlefield as ‘Vortex’ by Jinjer starts to play. Seconds later, Daniella Atlas enters the arena as she looks at the Chamber of Blood from the top of the entrance ramp before heading to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing her opponents! First, from Dunkirk, France! Weighing 170 pounds! Here is “THE BLACK FLAME” DANIELLA ATLAS!
Jake Mercer: I will go ahead and say right now that this is my pick to win this match. The strong and intimidating Daniella Atlas. She is going to DOMINATE THIS MATCH!
Flannery McCoy: Alrighty then. But Daniella is going into this match as the stronger of the three competitors and it could be that strength and power that gives Daniella the edge.
Stew-O: Last week, Daniella stood back and let Mia and Holly beat the crap out of each other. If that is the case tonight, Daniella could walk away with an easy victory. But will her opposition fall into that trap again?
(Daniella enters the ring and shoots a glance at Holly, who just glares at her in return. Daniella takes a look at all the weapons in the ring before her entrance music is replaced by “Notorious” by UPSAH and Mia Santoro enters the arena. Normally she would be soaking in the spotlight, but not tonight. Tonight)
Flannery McCoy: Introducing the final participant! From Key West, Florida. Weighing 115 pounds. Here is “LA DESPERADA” MIA SANTORO!
Jake Mercer: Here comes the final participant and Mia Santoro is feeling very confident and ready to go. I hope that boyfriend of hers taught her how to handle herself in a Doomsday Chamber of Blood match.
Stew-O: Jealous that Mia is taken? Anyways, I think that Mia considered the wild card in this match. Don’t count her out. She is tough and she is ready to fight. She might not have got the victory over Vincent Mondrian last week, but she is looking to change that tonight.
Flannery McCoy: Mia has shown in the past that she can beat former Champions. If she can pull it off again tonight, her contention status will easily skyrocket. Three determined competitors. Who will win? We are about to find out.
(Mia takes a look at the cage for a moment before entering the ring. She also looks around before getting into a neutral corner as her entrance music fades off. Now that all three competitors are in the ring, the referee makes sure they are all locked in before they call for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go! This match is underway and to say the very least, for those who are squeamish, you might want to turn the page and come back for the next match. Because this match is going to be brutal.
Jake Mercer: You mean because blood is not only wanted, but guaranteed! That’s the greatest part of this match. The ladies might be being careful right now, but it won’t end that way. THERE! WILL! BE! BLOOD! I LOVE IT!
Flannery McCoy: It is a little unorthodox that these three are starting off very cautiously… BUT AS SOON AS I SAY THAT, THE FIGHT BEGINS AS MIA AND HOLLY ACTUALLY START TO DOUBLE TEAM DANIELLA!
Stew-O: Considering what happened last week, I am shocked that they didn’t start beating the shit out of each other, but be that as it may, this might be smart considering the power advantage Daniella has over both of them.
Flannery McCoy: As the beatdown goes on, we have just been informed that the referee isn’t going to accept a bloody nose or a skinned knee to render one of these three eligible to be pinned.
Jake Mercer: That’s right. These ladies will have to be BUSTED OPEN to be considered pin eligible. This is going to be great. This is going to be a massacre.
Stew-O: They were going to whip Daniella into the razor cage on the other side, BUT DANIELLA USES HER POWER TO HALT HERSELF AND THEN SWINGS HOLLY AND MIA IN FRONT OF HER-
Jake Mercer: HOLLY AND MIA JUST CRASHED RIGHT INTO EACH OTHER! Daniella turned the tables BEFORE SHE TAKES THEM BOTH DOWN WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!
Flannery McCoy: Daniella is getting down to business almost immediately as she looks around the ring for the perfect weapon to use. Like that will be hard to do.
Stew-O: I wanna know who made the ruling to have all the damn weapons in the ring. Like the razor wire steel cage wasn’t enough.
Jake Mercer: If one of the purposes of the match is to bust an opponent open, then why not throw in a couple of weapons in the mix?
Flannery McCoy: There are more than just a few weapons in that ring right now as Daniella grabs a kendo stick AND SHE JUST STARTS BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF HOLLY ARROW!
Stew-O: DANIELLA IS JUST CRACKING THE KENDO STICK ACROSS HOLLY’S BACK! But that won’t be enough to force Holly to bleed.
Flannery McCoy: The more you beat down your opponent, the easier it will be to bust an exhausted opponent open. Daniella is just beating Holly down AND MIA JUST CRACKED DANIELLA IN THE BACK WITH A STEEL SHEET!
Jake Mercer: This is like amateur hour with these weapons. Where’s the glass? Where’s the breakable shit? Let’s get down to business with the bloodshed!
Stew-O: Have you been hanging out with Persephone or something?
Jake Mercer: No. But this is the first Dynasty exclusive event of the season. Might as well make it as memorable as possible.
Flannery McCoy: Anyways, that shot to the back got Daniella’s attention as she turns around AND MIA CRACKS DANIELLA ACROSS THE SKULL! THAT CERTAINLY MIGHT HAVE KNOCKED A FEW SCREWS LOOSE!
Stew-O: Mia tries to crack Daniella across the skull, BUT DANIELLA CAUGHT THE SHEET AND KICKS MIA IN THE GUT! Daniella is trying to take the steel sheet away from Mia, BUT MIA ISN’T LETTING GO!
Jake Mercer: We have a tug of war going on with a steel sheet in a razor wire steel cage. Expect anything in EAW. Daniella looks to be really close to getting the steel away from Mia–
Flannery McCoy: HOLLY WITH A RUNNING LARIAT CRACKING MIA IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD! NOT ONLY THAT! THE LARIAT SENT MIA FALL FORWARD AND THAT SENDS DANIELLA FALLING BACK–
Stew-O: AND DANIELLA GOES BACK FIRST INTO THE SIDE OF THE CAGE! RAZOR WIRE MEETS FLESH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS MATCH! We can guarantee that it won’t be the last time either.
Flannery McCoy: That certainly gave Daniella a feeling of shock as she gets herself off the side of the cage. We can see that there is a small bit of blood trickling off her shoulder blade. The referee is ignoring that.
Jake Mercer: That’s right. These ladies have to be BUSTED OPEN! Mia is down on the mat as Holly throws a forearm into Daniella’s face AND DANIELLA RETURNS THE FAVOR WITH A FOREARM OF HER OWN!
Stew-O: That shot rocks Holly for a moment as she tries to go for another forearm THAT DANIELLA GRABS! Daniella picks up Holly AND SLAMS HER ON THE STEEL SHEET! HOLLY’S BACK TAKES SOME DAMAGE!
Jake Mercer: Daniella is looking to grab hold of Holly to bring her back to her feet, BUT MIA COMES OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND TAKES DANIELLA DOWN WITH A METEORA!
Flannery McCoy: Did you see what Mia had in her hands? THAT WAS A STEEL CHAIR! MIA PUT THE CHAIR UNDER HER KNEES TO CAUSE EXTRA DAMAGE ON THE METEORA!
Stew-O: The chair went right into Daniella’s face and it took her down. Mia puts the chair back on the mat as she grabs a handful of Daniella’s hair to pull her back to her feet.
Jake Mercer: Mia has a facelock applied as she backs Daniella back towards the steel chair–
Mia Santoro: (off-mic) TASTE STEEL BITCH!
Flannery McCoy: Mia chooses to talk a little trash BEFORE SPIKING DANIELLA FACE FIRST INTO THE STEEL CHAIR WITH A DDT! Not just the chair, DANIELLA’S FOREHEAD HIT THE LIP OF THE STEEL CHAIR!
Stew-O: Daniella is holding her face in pain as Mia rolls her over AND PRIES HER HANDS AWAY FROM HER FACE! The referee is right there to check if Daniella is bleeding–
Flannery McCoy: SHE’S GOOD! No blood yet from Daniella AS MIA JUST STARTS THROWING PUNCHES INTO DANIELLA’S FACE AND HEAD! Daniella could easily be busted open with a punch to the face–
(CRASH!)
Jake Mercer: HOLLY ARROW WITH A LIGHT TUBE ACROSS THE BASE OF MIA’S NECK! THAT SHOT STUNS MIA AS SHE FALLS FORWARD AND DANIELLA PUSHES MIA OFF HER!
Stew-O: There is blood across the base of Mia’s neck and the referee is ruling that as not enough to be eligible to be pinned. I think the referee might be as sadistic as Jake and Persephone.
Jake Mercer: You call it sadistic. I call it excitement for all the Dynasty action. Right now, Mia is down and Daniella has made it back to her feet AS HOLLY GOES FOR A KICK TO THE HEAD–
Flannery McCoy: DANIELLA CAUGHT THE KICK! Holly is on one foot AND SHE COUNTERS THE COUNTER WITH AN ENZUIGIRI KICK, BUT DANIELLA IS STILL ON HER FEET!
Stew-O: Daniella stumbles over to the ropes, but doesn’t touch the razor wire as she reaches down and grabs a baseball bat. What the hell?
Jake Mercer: Daniella looking for a grand slam shot with the baseball bat as Holly tries to get to Daniella AND DANIELLA WITH A SHOT TO THE GUT WITH THE BAT!
Flannery McCoy: Holly drops to a knee after the shot AND DANIELLA IS WINDING UP TO CRACK HOLLY WITH THE BAT ONCE AGAIN—
Stew-O: MIA GRABBED THE BAT! I THINK MIA WANTS TO USE THE BAT FOR HERSELF AND THESE TWO ARE HAVING ANOTHER TUG OF WAR! NOT AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: Mia is trying to get the bat from Daniella AS DANIELLA SHOVES THE BELT INTO MIA’S GUT AND THAT FORCES MIA TO LET GO OF THE BAT–
(CRASH!)
Jake Mercer: HOLLY ARROW WITH A MIRROR! SHE DIDN’T CRACK IT OVER DANIELLA’S HEAD! SHE SWUNG IT LIKE A BAT AND THE MIRROR SHATTERED IN HER FACE! THAT LOOKS TO BE SEVEN YEARS OF BAD LUCK FOR HOLLY!
Flannery McCoy: Didn’t she date Jake Smith for a few years? Ehh… close enough if you ask me.
Stew-O: Very funny, Flann. Anyways, that wasn’t some cheap mirror. That was some high quality shit that broke in Daniella’s face. Leave it to the higher ups of Elite Answers Wrestling to spare no expense on weaponry.
Jake Mercer: Mia is slowly getting back on her feet as Daniella turns around it is easy to see Daniella was busted open from the mirror shot. Look at that crimson color just flowing from her forehead.
Flannery McCoy: Mia and Holly are looking at each other AND BOTH WOMEN RUSH OVER TO DANIELLA TO GET THE COVER! HOLLY GETS THERE FIRST AND HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOO–
Stew-O: MIA JUST PULLED HOLLY OFF OF DANIELLA AND SHOVES HOLLY AWAY BEFORE GOING FOR THE COVER HERSELF!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOO–
Jake Mercer: HOLLY JUST PULLED MIA OFF OF DANIELLA! Holly just returned the favor. Mia didn’t like that one bit as She gets back on her feet AND SHOVES HOLLY!
Mia Santoro: (off-mic) WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
Flannery McCoy: Well… Holly didn’t really appreciate that treatment from Mia AND SHE SHOVES MIA BACK!
Holly Arrow: (off-mic) WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? I MADE HER BLEED. I GET THE FIRST COVER! HOW HARD IS THAT FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND–
Stew-O: MIA JUST GRABBED HOLLY BY THE THROAT AND JUST STARTS BACKING HER UP ONTO THE ROPES!
Flannery McCoy: Mia is trying to shove the back of Holly’s head into the razor wire, BUT HOLLY IS FIGHTING BACK! HOLLY ISN’T GOING TO TASTE THE RAZOR WIRE THAT EASILY!
Jake Mercer: No wonder Mia and Donovan love each other so much. They both have a damn screw loose. He’s clocking people with his briefcase and she’s trying to slice Holly’s head open. Lock those two nutcases up and throw away the key–
Stew-O: While Jake is playing Love Connection, MIA CATCHES HOLLY WITH A THUMB TO THE EYE! Mia with the cheap shot AND MIA SHOVES HOLLY’S SKULL INTO THE RAZOR WIRE CAGE WALL!
Jake Mercer: MIA IS JUST SLIDING THE BACK OF HOLLY’S HEAD ALONG THE RAZOR WIRE AND WE SEE SOME BLOOD DRIPPING DOWN THE BACK OF HER NECK!
Flannery McCoy: Mia pulls Holly off the cage AND HOLLY HIT THE RESET BUTTON AND FIRES A PALM STRIKE THAT CATCHES MIA IN THE THROAT–
Stew-O: That shot might have just fired Mia up as she pulls Holly in AND DROPS HER WITH A SAITO SUPLEX! NICE SHOW OF POWER FROM MIA SANTORO!
Jake Mercer: Holly is down for the moment and Mia has her right where she wants her, but what is she doing? She is pulling down her boot a little bit–
Flannery McCoy: IT’S WIRE CUTTERS! SHE HAD A PAIR OF WIRE CUTTERS HIDDEN IN HER BOOT! It’s pretty obvious as to what Mia wants to do. Mia might be thinking smarter and not harder. Creativity points there.
Stew-O: Absolutely. Mia gonna risk her hands in order to get a piece of the razor wire to use as a weapon and when she does, it’s not going to be good–
Flannery McCoy: DANIELLA ATLAS WITH A BICYCLE KICK CATCHES MIA RIGHT IN THE FACE! WIRE CUTTERS GO FLYING AS DANIELLA GRABS HOLD OF MIA AND LIGHTS HER UP WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP!
Jake Mercer: There is still some blood flowing from Daniella’s face as she whips Mia into the turnbuckle. Mia hits the corner as she moves her head enough to avoid the razor wire AND DANIELLA HITS ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST! You guys are aware that this could have been a bra and panties match.
Stew-O: Just get over it. Daniella grabs Mia to set her up for a Northern Lights Suplex, BUT MIA IS CHANGING MOMENTUM AS DANIELLA LIFTS HER IN THE AIR!
Jake Mercer: Mia is kicking her feet and she manages to get free and finds herself sitting on the top turnbuckle. Daniella tries for an elbow to the skull, BUT MIA BLOCKS IT AND KICKS HER IN THE FACE!
Flannery McCoy: Daniella staggers back AS MIA JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AS SHE LOOKS FOR A CUTTER–
Stew-O: UH OH! DANIELLA CAUGHT HER MIDAIR! Daniella maneuvers Mia onto her shoulders BEFORE LIFTING MIA UP IN THE AIR WITH A MILITARY PRESS!
Jake Mercer: Mia Santoro has just found herself in a shitload of trouble as Mia is in the air and she only has one way to go. Daniella showing off her power as she walks Mia over to the ropes–
Flannery McCoy: DANIELLA JUST LAUNCHED MIA INTO THE SIDE OF THE RAZOR WIRE CAGE! OH MY GAWD! WHAT A HORRIBLE SIGHT TO SEE AS WE WATCH MIA JUST SLIDE DOWN THE RAZOR WIRE!
Stew-O: She couldn’t block or defend herself and we have a camera on the side of the cage where Mia Landed and if it wasn’t already figured, but Mia is bleeding. Now anybody can pin Mia and end the match.
Flannery McCoy: Mia is bleeding from her head, her face, and I think her arms are sliced as well. Daniella sees that she can pin Mia to win the match and that’s exactly what she’s going to do–
Jake Mercer: HOLLY ARROW WITH A SINGLE KNEE BACKSTABBER HALTING DANIELLA IN HER TRACKS! Daniella was going to pull Mia out of the razor wire, but Holly was back to her feet and took Daniella down.
Stew-O: Holly is back in the match as she brings the powerhouse back to her feet before lifting her up AND DROPPING HER WITH A BACK SUPLEX! Daniella’s head caught the steel sheet from earlier.
Jake Mercer: This match is missing something. Oh yeah. HOLLY STILL HASN’T BEEN BUSTED OPEN! THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE! HURRY UP, LADIES! HAVE HOLLY JOIN THE PARTY!
Flannery McCoy: Party wouldn’t necessarily be a word that I would use as Holly is making her presence felt in this match as she grabs another light tube that is in the ring AND CRACKS IT ACROSS DANIELLA’S BACK!
Stew-O: These ladies are putting their bodies on the line for the sake of in ring superiority. Holly is in control right now as she tries to whip Daniella to the ropes, but Daniella reverses and sends Holly for the ride.
Jake Mercer: Holly comes back and avoids the razor wire as Daniella puts her head down for a back body drop, BUT HOLLY COUNTERS WITH A KICK TO THE FACE!
Flannery McCoy: Holly grabs Daniella and this time she whips Daniella to the ropes. Daniella comes back AS HOLLY LIFTS DANIELLA IN THE AIR ENOUGH TO HIT THE POP UP KNEE STRIKE!
Stew-O: “VICTORIA” BY HOLLY ARROW! That came out of Myles’ playbook as Daniella fell hard to the mat! Daniella could have had a few of her teeth knocked out as she is down and Holly goes for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRREEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: DANIELLA STILL SHOWING SOME POWER AS SHE KICKS OUT AT TWO! It might be hard to tell, but I think that Daniella’s mouth is now bleeding after that knee strike. Holly gets back to her feet before bringing Daniella up as well.
Jake Mercer: Holly has hold of Daniella’s wrists AS SHE MUSCLES UP DANIELLA FOR “ODIN’S LOST EYE”! HERE COMES THE OLYMPIC SLAM–
Stew-O: DANIELLA MANAGES TO GET FREE AT THE LAST SECOND! Daniella lands on her feet behind Holly and Holly doesn’t have a chance to do a thing as DANIELLA GRABS HOLLY’S WRIST AND CLOBBERS HER WITH “INAMORATA”!
Jake Mercer: That Ripcord Lariat could have knocked Holly’s head off her shoulders with the force Daniella put behind that move. Holly is down at the moment as Daniella goes to bring her back to her feet–
(CRASH!)
Flannery McCoy: MIA SANTORO IS UP AND SHE SHATTERED A GLASS BASEBALL BAT ACROSS THE BACK OF DANIELLA’S HEAD AND DANIELLA IS DOWN AND SHE COULD BE OUT!
Stew-O: Mia could have gone for the cover on Daniella right there, but Mia is locking eyes with Holly Arrow. Mia’s glare doesn’t leave Holly as she walks over to pick up the wire cutters from earlier.
Jake Mercer: Mia Santoro must have a short circuit going on in that mind of hers as she walks over to the side of the cage AND SHE STARTS CUTTING A PIECE OF THE RAZOR WIRE!
Flannery McCoy: I guess Mia found an innovative way to use the razor wire surrounding the cage considering that Mia looks like she fought the cage and lost. She looks shredded and not in a good way.
Stew-O: Mia has a nice piece of the razor wire in her hand and she is risking cutting up her hands, but at this point, she really doesn’t care right now. She wants to win this match by any means necessary.
Flannery McCoy: Mia is walking, more like stalking, Holly at the moment with the razor wire in her hand. Holly goes to sit up on the mat–
Jake Mercer: MIA WRAPS THE RAZOR WIRE AROUND HOLLY’S HEAD! THAT IS NOT THE TYPE OF HEADBAND HOLLY WOULD PREFER! MIA IS DAMAGING HER HANDS WITH THE TIGHT GRIP SHE HAS ON THE RAZOR WIRE!
Stew-O: SHE DOESN’T CARE BECAUSE SHE IS GETTING THE RESULT SHE WANTS BECAUSE THE BLOOD IS QUICKLY FLOWING FROM HOLLY’S FOREHEAD! HOLLY IS QUICKLY WEARING THE INFAMOUS CRIMSON MASK!
Jake Mercer: I told you that Mia Santoro was a screwball and this just proves it. She is trying to rip Holly’s face to shreds.
Flannery McCoy: Now Mia removes the wire from Holly’s head AND WRAPS IT AROUND HER NECK! MIA IS STRANGLING HOLLY ARROW IN THE RING!
Stew-O: Mia isn’t the biggest or the strongest in this match so she is using some innovative tactics to get the one up on her opposition and this is a good way to do it.
Jake Mercer: Daniella has made it back to her feet AND SHE IS GOING TOWARDS MIA, BUT MIA THROWS HOLLY TOWARDS DANIELLA–
Flannery McCoy: DANIELLA WITH A BIG BOOT TO HOLLY’S FACE! Holly is down and she still has that razor wire around her neck. But that distraction was good enough for Mia TO DELIVER A SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF THE KNEE!
Stew-O: Daniella drops down to a knee and Mia is right there AND SHE FOLLOWS UP THE SUPERKICK WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! THE POINT OF MIA’S BOOT CAUGHT DANIELLA IN THE TEMPLE!
Flannery McCoy: That could have been a knockout shot right there as Daniella falls to the mat and Mia hooks the leg for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: DANIELLA BARELY GOT THE SHOULDER UP AS THE REFEREE WAS COMING DOWN FOR THE THREE COUNT! HOLY CRAP WHAT A MATCH THIS HAS BEEN SO FAR!
Stew-O: These women have been seriously beating the holy shit out of each other. These ladies are covered in blood. The ring is starting to get splotched with blood. It’s a testament to what they are willing to endure in order to leave with the win tonight.
Jake Mercer: Mia looks pissed that she didn’t get the win right there. Instead of getting in a fight with the referee, she goes to Plan B and locks in the Dragon Sleeper. Submission move applied right now.
Flannery McCoy: The submission won’t get her the win considering it’s pinfall only, but pinning an opponent who passed out works just as well. Mia has that submission locked in tight and Daniella is trying to find a way to get free as Mia starts to lean back to put more pressure on the move.
Stew-O: There’s not a thing the referee can really do about it until there is a pinfall! BUT DANIELLA IS STARTING TO FADE! DANIELLA MIGHT BE ON THE VERGE OF PASSING OUT! COULD MIA BE ONE PINFALL AWAY FROM LEAVING VICTORIOUS–
Jake Mercer: HOLLY ARROW! HOLLY COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE AND DELIVERS A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP RIGHT INTO THE HEART OF MIA SANTORO!
Flannery McCoy: Not only did she save the match for herself, she also got Daniella free of the Dragon Sleeper. Right now, Holly is the only one who is able to get to her feet.
Stew-O: It’s almost like a pick your poison type of situation where Holly could go for either person and it looks like Holly is going to continue to attack Mia Santoro.
Flannery McCoy: Well I can understand that because of Mia trying to choke her to death. Holly looks ready to beat the holy shit out of Mia as Mia makes it back to her feet–
Jake Mercer: HOLLY GRABS MIA’S HEAD AND LEG BEFORE SPINNING OUT AND PLANTING MIA WITH THE FISHERMAN’S NECKBREAKER!
Stew-O: Holly still has that razor wire attached to her from earlier and she finally unwraps it from her AND RETURNS THE FAVOR BY WRAPPING THE RAZOR WIRE AROUND MIA’S NECK!
Jake Mercer: HOLLY WANTS TO CHOKE OUT MIA AND WE SEE FRESH BLOOD DRIPPING FROM MIA’S NECK AS MIA IS TRYING TO GET FREE AND GET AWAY FROM HOLLY–
Flannery McCoy: DANIELLA ATLAS COMES OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND DELIVERS A MISSILE DROPKICK TO BOTH HOLLY AND MIA TAKING THEM BOTH DOWN!
Stew-O: Daniella quickly scrambles back to her feet and grabs Mia Santoro AND LIFTS HER IN THE AIR FOR A POWERBOMB–
Jake Mercer: DANIELLA JUST POWERBOMBED MIA INTO THE RAZOR WIRE! MIA DIDN’T STICK BUT SHE CERTAINLY HAD SOME FLESH RIPPED FROM HER!
Flannery McCoy: Now Daniella turns her attention back to Holly AND HOLLY JUST PUNCHED DANIELLA RIGHT IN THE FACE… LOOK!
Stew-O: HOLLY HAD THAT RAZOR WIRE WRAPPED AROUND HER HAND TO MAKE SURE THE PUNCH CAUSED MORE DAMAGE, BUT SHE ALSO CAUSED SOME DAMAGE TO HERSELF WITH THAT STUNT!
Flannery McCoy: You do what you have to do sometimes, but Daniella is down and Holly is ready to finish this match AS SHE RUNS FULL SPEED TO DANIELLA! HOLLY LOOKING FOR “AVALON”–
Jake Mercer: DANIELLA CAUGHT HER! DANIELLA CATCHES HER AND TAKES HER DOWN TO THE MAT! Daniella has hold of Holly’s legs now as she gets her into position–
Stew-O: DANIELLA HAS THE ‘HERMÈS LAW’ APPLIED! STANDING CLOVERLEAF APPLIED! JUST LIKE THE DRAGON SLEEPER EARLIER FROM MIA! SUBMISSIONS DON’T COUNT! PINFALL ONLY!
Jake Mercer: I don’t think that’s what Daniella has in mind. Daniella is dragging Holly over to the cage walls. Daniella lifts Holly into the air while Holly is still locked in the cloverleaf–
Stew-O: OH MY GAWD! DANIELLA JUST SWUNG HOLLY HEAD FIRST INTO THE SIDE OF THE CAGE AND THE RAZOR WIRE IS JUST STICKING INTO HOLLY’S HEAD AND FACE!
Jake Mercer: DANIELLA ISN’T DONE! DANIELLA JUST SNATCHES HOLLY OFF THE CAGE WALL AND THAT TORE MORE FLESH OFF OF HOLLY AS WE SEE FRESH BLOOD FLOWING AND DANIELLA SMASHES HOLLY INTO THE CAGE WALL AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: DANIELLA JUST KEEPS REPEATING THE PROCESS UNTIL HOLLY IS VIRTUALLY UNCONSCIOUS
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Stew-O: I agree with the crowd on that one! Holly is all tangled up in the razor wire and she might as well get comfortable there as Daniella has taken out one opponent and now she is ready to finish off the other as she goes to Mia Santoro.
Flannery McCoy: Daniella tries to bring Mia back to her feet, BUT MIA WAS PLAYING POSSUM! MIA CATCHES DANIELLA WITH A ROLLUP! INSIDE CRADLE BY MIA AND DANIELLA’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN! MIA IS GONNA STEAL IT HERE!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: DANIELLA MANAGES TO KICK OUT AT TWO! THAT WAS A VERY CLOSE NEAR FALL AS MIA GRABS THE STEEL SHEET AND CRACKS DANIELLA OVER THE HEAD WITH IT!
Stew-O: Mia is back on her feet as Holly somehow fell out of the razor wire and she is back on the mat, but she is still not moving as Mia grabs Daniella and gets her in the gutwrench position.
Flannery McCoy:
Jake Mercer: DANIELLA REVERSES THE GUTWRENCH AND NOW MIA FINDS HERSELF IN THE PUMPHANDLE POSITION AND IN A HUGE MESS OF TROUBLE AS DANIELLA LETS OUT A YELL BEFORE LIFTING MIA IN THE AIR!
Flannery McCoy: “SOUTH OF HEAVEN”! THE RIPTIDE STYLE PUMPHANDLE SLAM PLANTS MIA HARD IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! MIA ISN’T MOVING AS DANIELLA DROPS DOWN AND USES WHATEVER ENERGY SHE HAS LEFT TO ROLL MIA OVER AND HOOK THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Vortex’ starts playing again as Daniella slowly rolls off of Mia and just rests on the canvas for a moment to rest and catch her breath as Stephie Love announces the final decision of the match.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner…. DANIELLA ATLAS!
Stew-O: We said at the beginning of the match that this was going to be a fight and this match lived up to the hype. Holy crap what a fight this was. Blood was shed and injury was guaranteed.
Jake Mercer: Well if we couldn’t watch them getting down to their lingerie, then watching a hellacious brawl certainly works for me and all three really brought it to the table. I can give all three of them their credit.
Flannery McCoy: Look at the weapons scattered around the ring. Look at the blood staining the mat. Just by looking at that, you can easily tell that there was an amazing match between three competitors who were willing to do ANYTHING within the Chamber of Blood to leave victorious.
(The referee raises Daniella’s arm in victory as the chamber starts to slowly rise to allow the medic team to check on all the competitors. They go to check on Daniella, but she refuses the medic service before she limps over to the ropes and leaves the ring before slowly heading up the entrance ramp.)
Jake Mercer: Here comes the medics. I honestly didn’t think anybody would be walking out of this match of their own free will. Mia and Holly aren’t right now. Daniella might be, but she is barely leaving the ring under her own power.
Flannery McCoy: You mentioned Holly and Mia, so you have to give them their kudos. They were both really close to winning the match for themselves. Unfortunately for them, it just wasn’t meant to be. But they should be proud of their respective performances here tonight.
Stew-O: That’s very true. Mia and Holly fought hard the entire match. They shouldn’t feel bad for the effort they showed. But say whatever you want about her. Daniella Atlas overcame two very tough opponents in order to leave Reckless Wiring with the win. Congratulations once again
(The final shot shows Daniella standing at the top of the entrance ramp bloody and exhausted, but she is satisfied that leaves the Chamber with the victory before cutting to the ring where the medics are checking on Mia and Holly. Mia hasn’t moved after being taken out, but Holly is sitting up and she doesn’t look happy that she couldn’t get the win as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for Social Stream featuring ElitistWorldCC talking about Daniella Atlas’ win here tonight.)

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is a barbed wire ropes match scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Ghost Myself’ by DIAMANTE began blaring through the arena speakers to loud cheers as Raven Roberts stepped out onto the stage. Forgoing her typical marquee theatrics, Raven looked to have an incredibly determined expression on her face as she focused on nothing else than the ring; with a glare, she stormed down to the ring and slid in, before she narrowed her eyes towards the stage, awaiting Minerva.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST! Hailing from Atlanta, GA, weighing in at 122 pounds… she is THE BIRD OF PREY, RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN! ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERTS!
Stew-O: Needless to say, this is certainly one of the more personal rivalries heading into Reckless Wiring; the history between these two powerful elitists is storied, with each holding victory over the other in their past.
Flannery McCoy: It’s also a matter of the past coming back up, as Raven still holds a vendetta against Minerva for what she did, revealing personal matters about her life to the entire EAW Universe against her will…
Jake Mercer: One thing is for certain, and it’s that neither of these two women like the other at all; makes me nervous about the barbed wires in this match, because I feel like they’re going to use the ropes to tear each other to shreds!
(“Blood, Milk & Sky” by White Zombie began playing to similar cheers as the Black Rose marched onto the stage looking just as focused as her opponent. Minerva glared down the ramp to Raven Roberts, who returned the gaze, and she pointed her rose towards the ring. With gritted teeth, she tore the rose in half and threw the pieces to both sides as she began storming down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: AND HER OPPONENT! Hailing from Bucharest, Romania, weighing in at 122 pounds… she is THE BLACK ROSE, MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Stew-O: Speaking of a blast from the past, I think that everything Minerva has gone through in recent times has caused a side of her to come out that we haven’t seen in three years! The very same Minerva that Raven Roberts was railing against is the one she seems to have inadvertently brought back to light.
Flannery McCoy: For everyone that remembers what that version of Minerva was like, that is certainly not a good thing for anyone that gets in her way! But after she lost her world championship, perhaps it’s the best thing for Minerva’s career to embrace that side of her and become as dangerous as she has ever been!
Jake Mercer: Will Raven Roberts be the first victim of the returned viciousness of Minerva tonight?
Stew-O: It’s time to find out!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And the match is underway! NEITHER of these two women are looking to wait as they both burst out of their corners as though they’ve been chomping at the bit to beat each other down since the season started! They meet in the center of the ring as they grab each other by the heads and just start bashing each other with relentless strikes!
Flannery McCoy: Fists are flying left and right, but the only thing for certain is that by the time this match ends, one of these elitists will not be able to stand on their own two feet!
Jake Mercer: OH! Raven Roberts just caught one of Minerva’s strikes before it could land and uses it to flip her over with a judo throw, sending her crashing onto the canvas with a loud thud! And now Raven Roberts leaps into the air and falls on top of Minerva in the style of a Lou Thesz Press, raining down on her with a bunch of strikes as she did before, but this time with a more advantageous position due to the leverage!
Stew-O: That’s right Jake, Minerva has been forced to go on the back foot as she’s more focused on having her guard up and blocking as many of Raven’s strikes as she can rather than fighting back from beneath; there’s only so much Raven will be able to do before all this exertion ends up gassing her out!
Flannery McCoy: Look, Minerva bent her knees from beneath Raven as Raven tried to get even more leverage, but that may end up being a mistake as Minerva plants both her feet against Raven’s midsection and LAUNCHES her back with a monkey flip! Raven just got sent flying overhead, and now she lands on the mat too!
Jake Mercer: That seems to have been enough to separate the two, and now both of them are quickly scrambling to get to their feet, and Minerva manages to get there first due to not expending all that energy beforehand! Raven Roberts turns around and looks to rush towards Minerva, but Minerva had her scouted as she immediately launched forward a vicious running clothesline to knock her down!
Stew-O: Raven gets back to her feet but Minerva just did the same thing, forcing her back to the canvas again and again with those clotheslines, and now Raven is taking a moment to recuperate from the damage as she has her jaw clutched while kneeling on the mat!
Flannery McCoy: Minerva grabs a fistful of Raven’s hair and drags her across the ring as she brings her over to the corner and shoves her up against it! It’s pretty dangerous anywhere near the boundaries of the ring, but Raven has her back strictly to the turnbuckles and not making any significant contact with the barbed wires wrapped around those ropes!
Jake Mercer: Barbed wires or not, one thing is for sure and that is that Minerva is going to MAKE Raven face the danger, and she does so now by lighting her up with closed-fist punches being launched to various parts of the body, whether it’s her face, jaw, and midsection! Raven isn’t able to effectively guard against this type of assault, and Minerva is taking full advantage of it!
Stew-O: Minerva reaches down and hoists Raven up by the legs, turning around in the process before PLANTING her with a vicious spinebuster, and at this point in the match we’re seeing Minerva dominate! This is, after all, the woman who recently held the Universal Women’s Championship and had a Pain for Pride win streak up until Pain for Pride Kingdom; she is NOT to be underestimated!
Flannery McCoy: She looks to hook Raven Roberts’ leg off that spinebuster!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: But a quick kick out by the Bird of Prey shows that it’ll take far more than that to put her down, and Minerva knows it! Minerva has implied that Raven won’t be able to live up to the hype created by Raven’s return, and she’s willing to do anything it takes to make her words come true! But Raven can’t be underestimated either, this woman is a certified legend and her own accolades are nothing to scoff at!
Flannery McCoy: Minerva looks down at Raven with an ominous expression plastered across her face, and as Raven starts getting up on her own, Minerva suddenly grabs her hair and violently drags her up herself! She immediately clutches the head of Raven and tucks it underneath her arm in the form of a front facelock!
Stew-O: Alongside that, she throws Raven’s arm over her head and reaches down to grab one of her legs as well! I think we all know what this is, we’ve seen Minerva execute it before; SHE’S GOING FOR THE FISHERMAN’S SUPLEEEEEEEX!
Jake Mercer: WAIT, NO, RAVEN JUST BASHED HER ON THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH A SIDE ELBOW! That was enough to stall it, but Minerva goes for it again… only to get hit with another side elbow! And another one! And now Raven Roberts is just unleashing hell on Minerva with a monstrous flurry of side elbows, creating enough pressure and damage to force her to relinquish Raven’s leg and release the hold!
Flannery McCoy: Raven glares furiously at Minerva before shoving her back… INTO THE BARBED WIRE ROPES! We all knew those would come into play at some point, and it looks as though Raven Roberts is the one to introduce them into the fray of the match as she forces Minerva to stumble back back-first into the ropes wrapped with barbed wire, and the look on Minerva’s face says everything you need to know about how much that hurts!
Stew-O: Raven Roberts lurches forward and snatches Minerva out of the barbed wire ropes and immediately hoists her up before PLANTING her with a vicious T-Bone Suplex! Both of these women are well known for their unique styles of offense, but if there’s one thing they share in common, it’s that they are proficient at the very core of actual wrestling!
Jake Mercer: What’s worse about what Raven just did is that by throwing Minerva to the mat on her back, she also just aggravated the exact area where Minerva landed against the barbed wire! It’s salt on the wound, but even more violent!
Crowd: RA-VEN RO-BERTS! MI-NER-VA! RA-VEN RO-BERTS! MI-NER-VA!
Flannery McCoy: As you can hear right now, it’s a bit difficult to find a real favorite in this match as both elitists have the favor of the EAW Universe! Neither of the two women seem to have that in mind right now as they seem entirely focused on tearing each other to shreds; Raven looks to follow up on that T-Bone Suplex as she forces Minerva back to her feet!
Stew-O: And now she employs a Muay Thai clutch! Raven Roberts is well known for employing various forms of mixed martial arts as parts of her moveset, and that much is clear here as she uses the Muay Thai clutch to keep Minerva in one disadvantageous position while she begins lighting her up with a barrage of kicks and knee lifts! This is one hell of a brutal match so far!
Jake Mercer: Minerva suddenly breaks free, forcing her way out of the Muay Thai clutch, and swings for Raven’s head, but Raven had it scouted and immediately ducks underneath to dodge it! Raven gets back up before Minerva can even react and leaps into the air, bringing both of her knees to the face of the Black Rose and dropping down with it to execute a powerful codebreaker!
Flannery McCoy: An expert maneuver, using Minerva’s own weight against her as she came crashing down on both knees of the Bird of Prey! Raven still has her face clutched against her knees, though, she never let go, and she capitalizes on that fact by performing a makeshift monkey flip to land Minerva on her back once again! Raven backflips herself on top of Minerva, once again returning to that mounted position where she can employ her aggressive style!
Stew-O: At least, that’s what we originally thought, but rather than going for the Lou Thesz Press style punches and strikes from the mounted position, Raven suddenly reaches down and hooks her arm around the neck of the Black Rose, positioning the bone of her forearm up against Minerva’s throat! She uses that hold as she lifts Minerva by the head slightly off the ground before yanking back and PLANTING her with a DDT!
Jake Mercer: Not JUST a DDT though, Stew, because she was just using that DDT to get Minerva in position for a GUILLOTINE CHOKE! Using the very same front facelock she used to execute the DDT, Raven Roberts is now choking the LIFE out of the Black Rose, and Minerva is frantically doing everything she can to get herself out of harm’s way, but Raven isn’t having it!
Flannery McCoy: As Minerva tried to shift her body towards the nearest ropes, Raven suddenly launched her legs in opposite directions before bringing them back together around the back of Minerva, locking her in with body scissors! That’s sure to hinder any possibility of moving towards the ropes, and Raven gets a smirk on her face as she knows she has the Black Rose right where she wants her!
Stew-O: Minerva is definitely struggling here as the oxygen and blood supply is being cut off from her head, and the color of her face is starting to get closer to the color of her hair with how red it’s going! Her movements are starting to get slower as Raven is choking her out as viciously as she possibly can! Will she be able to make it?!
Jake Mercer: I think Minerva is starting to fade; Raven Roberts has her revenge in sights as the referee quickly rushes in to check on whether or not Minerva will be able to continue in this match! The referee grabs the Black Rose’s hand and lifts it up once… and it drops to the canvas! The crowd is looking dismayed as this match may already be over at this point!
Flannery McCoy: The referee lifts the hand up a second time… still nothing, it plopped right back down to the ring mat! There’s just one more hand lift left, and the referee does it…!
Stew-O: OH! THE FIST CLENCHES AS MINERVA KEEPS HER ARM IN THE AIR! SHE’S STILL IN THIS, AND RAVEN IS LOOKING DOWNRIGHT SHOCKED! SHE THOUGHT SHE HAD THIS IN THE BAG, BUT THE RESILIENCE OF THE BLACK ROSE HAS KEPT HER CONSCIOUS EVEN AFTER ALL THE CHOKING!
Jake Mercer: There seems to be a burst of adrenaline flowing through the veins of Minerva as she flails her body around to the point where Raven Roberts can’t even contain it with her body scissors, and Minerva gets closer… closer… SHE GOT IT! ONE HAND ON THE ROPES, BUT THAT CAUSES HER TO SCREAM WITH PAIN AS SHE’S GRIPPING BARBED WIRE ROPES AS TIGHTLY AS SHE CAN!
Flannery McCoy: The referee is ordering Raven Roberts to release the hold, but she absolutely does not want to! The referee starts admonishing her as he begins the count! Raven keeps the guillotine chokehold locked in and even starts shaking Minerva’s head left and right while Minerva keeps that barbed wire rope clutched despite the pain it’s causing! The referee makes it to the count of 4 before Raven relinquishes the hold, and now Minerva is FINALLY free!
Stew-O: But she wants to capitalize on the damage she just caused right away, hooking the leg!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: Minerva still manages to persevere as she kicks out of the pin attempt! As she thrust her shoulder up, we just caught a glimpse of the palm of her hand, and I’ll tell you what, that is a BLOODY hand if I’ve ever seen one! Raven is looking quite frustrated, but before she can grab Minerva, the Black Rose rolls out from underneath the bottom rope, being careful not to slash herself against the barbed wire wrapped around the rope as she does so!
Jake Mercer: Minerva lands at ringside and staggers around the corner as she does so, causing Raven Roberts to roll out of the ring at the same spot that the Black Rose did in order to make chase! She makes it to ringside as well and rushes around the corner as she attempts to catch up to Minerva!
Flannery McCoy: Where is the Black Rose- OH! THERE! MINERVA JUST SLID ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR AND LANDED A SURPRISE BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK TO THE ANKLES OF RAVEN ROBERTS, TOPPLING HER AND FORCING HER TO FALL FACE-FIRST TO THE FLOOR!
Stew-O: MINERVA RISES OFF THE FLOOR, AND SHE LOOKS PISSED OFF! Just look at that look in her eyes; that’s the kind of murderous glare you see from someone right before you witness a murder, and I hate to say, but that might be what we have in store for us here :lupe:
Jake Mercer: Minerva crouches down and grabs Raven’s face with her bloody hand to raise it and meet her face to face! The Black Rose yells in Raven’s face before grabbing her head with both hands; she starts SMASHING Raven Roberts’ head against the ring post that they were kneeling beside, and Minerva just keeps going and going! Head smash after head smash, Raven might end up with CTE at this rate!
Flannery McCoy: Eventually, she lets up, but Raven is looking far worse for wear after that hellish assault by the vicious Minerva; the face of the Bird of Prey is now coated with Minerva’s own blood from her hand! Minerva grabs Raven up and forcefully drags her to her feet as she yanks her along the side of the ring, slamming her face against the apron as she does so just to keep her dazed!
Stew-O: With a target in sights, Minerva runs forward with Raven Roberts’ hair clutched and THROWS her into the side of the massive steel steps! She threw Raven with such force that, upon the collision of Raven against the steel steps, the structure felt enough force to be knocked out of its position! And now Raven Roberts is laid out again, right up against the steel steps, as Minerva storms over to Raven with vicious intentions in mind!
Jake Mercer: Minerva reaches down and grabs a hold of Raven’s head, using her other arm to grab her by the legs and hoists her up, demonstrating some impressive strength as she deadlifts Raven off the mat as though she weighed nothing! She looks down at the steel steps before slamming her down with a scoop slam ON TOP of the steel steps! Wait, no, it was even worse… she did it on the EDGE of the steel steps, causing Raven to collapse off of them upon impact!
Flannery McCoy: This is certainly some high levels of intensity and viciousness we’re seeing on display from Minerva, and she doesn’t seem to have any intention of letting up! She looks at Raven who is leaned up against the steel steps and she notices that Raven is in perfect position to lock in a hold!
Stew-O: And she does exactly that as she snakes her arm around the throat of Raven Roberts, applying an inverted facelock and dragging Raven away from the steel steps, and now she’s wrenching it back to effectively lock in a dragon sleeper hold against her rival! I’m not sure what exactly she’s thinking here, though, even if this is enough, submissions don’t count outside the ring!
Jake Mercer: Think with your head, Stew, these two women absolutely HATE each other; you think Minerva is going to pass up an opportunity to cause this level of damage to Raven Roberts just because of that? The damage it does to her out here will still exist when they get back into the ring, and THAT is when it will matter!
Flannery McCoy: Damage is the best word to use, because we can see Raven flailing as frantically as Minerva was just a little while ago when she had her in with that guillotine chokehold! Minerva basically has the same chokehold but in its inverted position, and there’s probably some level of satisfaction in that for Minerva just from the imagery of it!
Stew-O: Raven starts launching punches, though, hitting any part of Minerva that she can! Some strikes are just hitting the arm of the Black Rose, but others are actually making their way to the jaw and even the face, and that’s only causing Minerva to get angrier as she tries to keep the dragon sleeper chokehold locked in! I don’t think she’ll be able to keep it locked in for much longer as Raven’s shots are getting more and more frequent and powerful as the desperation escalates!
Jake Mercer: Minerva is starting to grit her teeth with frustration, and before Raven Roberts can launch one more strike, Minerva suddenly jerks her body to the side as she raises her elbow up and SMASHES it down on the chest of the Bird of Prey, forcing her to plummet down to the ringside floor with Minerva’s entire bodyweight driving her down alongside it!
Flannery McCoy: THAT WAS TWILIGHT, ONE OF MINERVA’S SIGNATURE MOVES, AND THE CROWD GOES OF THEIR FEET WITH EXCITEMENT FOR IT! Minerva knows the opportunity she just created for herself, and she grabs Raven Roberts by the hair as she quickly drags her up to her feet and forcefully rolls her into the ring! Minerva follows alongside her as she slides into the ring herself, meeting Raven inside as she immediately hooks the leg and presses her elbow against the chest of Raven for the pin!
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: BUT ANOTHER KICK OUT BY RAVEN ROBERTS! Minerva is looking very frustrated at this point, and after all the offense that she’s launched towards Raven Roberts in the match so far, I don’t blame her with Raven’s incredible endurance keeping her in the match! Minerva glowers down at her rival as she thinks of what she can possibly do to keep Raven down for the full three count!
Jake Mercer: It looks like she’s getting an idea in her head as she glares intensely at the head of the Bird of Prey! She measures her up as Raven is barely able to start crawling on her hands and knees towards the barbed wire ropes, but Minerva doesn’t let her even do that as she forcefully brings her back up to her feet and hooks her in with a standard front facelock this time around!
Flannery McCoy: She throws the arm of the Bird of Prey over her head as she suddenly hoists Raven Roberts up, and I think SHE MIGHT BE GOING FOR ATLAS FALLS HERE, HER FINISHING MANEUVER, THAT TWISTING BRAINBUSTER THAT HAS CAUSED SO MANY OF HER FOES TO CRUMBLE BEFORE! SHE’S GOING FOR THE DROP!
Stew-O: WAIT, NO, RAVEN ROBERTS JUST MANAGED TO SLIP OUT OF IT AND LAND DIRECTLY BEHIND MINERVA! AND RAVEN JUST GRABS HOLD OF THE BACK OF MINERVA’S HEAD AS SHE SUDDENLY JAMS MINERVA FACE-FIRST INTO THE BARBED WIRE ROPES! OH MY GOD!
Raven Roberts: EAT IT, BITCH! YOU DESERVE THIS!
Jake Mercer: OH THE HUMANITY! SHE’S FORCING MINERVA TO BITE DOWN ON THE BARBED WIRE AS SHE STARTS DRIVING HER ELBOW AGAINST THE BACK OF MINERVA’S HEAD OVER AND OVER AGAIN, A VICIOUS BARRAGE OF ELBOW SMASHES AND THERE’S NOWHERE ELSE FOR THAT KINETIC ENERGY TO GO AS MINERVA’S HEAD IS CAUGHT UP AGAINST THE BARBED WIRE!
Stew-O: I THINK MINERVA’S HAIR IS CAUGHT UP IN THE BARBED WIRE TOO, THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH! THE THOUGHT OF LOSING TO MINERVA HAS BROUGHT RAVEN ROBERTS NEW LIFE AS SHE’S BURNING INSIDE WITH FIERY ANGER!
Flannery McCoy: THINK ABOUT HOW PERSONAL THIS FEUD IS FOR RAVEN ROBERTS, THOUGH! WHEN SHE SAID MINERVA DESERVES THIS, SHE REALLY MEANT IT; BACK WHEN THEY FEUDED ALL THOSE YEARS AGO, MINERVA EXPOSED THE FACT THAT RAVEN WAS UNABLE TO HAVE A CHILD OF HER OWN, AND SHE MOCKED HER FOR IT IN FRONT OF THE WORLD!
Jake Mercer: FOR RAVEN ROBERTS, THIS IS THE ULTIMATE REVENGE! SHE CALLED HER ‘PRINCESS SIOBHAN’ LEADING UP TO THIS, SAYING THAT MINERVA HAS BECOME EVERYTHING SHE HATES, AND NOW RAVEN ROBERTS IN HER OWN HATRED IS DOING EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO BRING MINERVA’S LIFE CRASHING DOWN LIKE MINERVA DID TO RAVEN ALL THOSE YEARS AGO!
Stew-O: ELBOW SMASH AFTER ELBOW SMASH AFTER ELBOW SMASH, RAVEN IS DOING EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO STRAIGHT UP KNOCK MINERVA OUT! RAVEN BACKS UP FOR A MOMENT, WHAT IS SHE PLANNING HERE?! SHE TAKES AIM AND… FACELIFT! FACELIFT! THE SPINNING HEEL KICK LANDS AND IT LANDS ON THE SIDE OF MINERVA’S FACE, FORCING HER FACE TO GRIND AGAINST THE BARBED WIRE OF THE ROPES AS SHE’S FORCED ACROSS IT!
Flannery McCoy: THAT WAS ONE OF RAVEN’S SIGNATURE MOVES, AND I DON’T THINK SHE COULD’VE USED IT IN A WAY TO INFLICT PAIN ON MINERVA MORE THAN SHE DID RIGHT THEN AND THERE! THE BLACK ROSE’S FACE IS LOOKING TORN UP WITH A CRIMSON MASK BEING MADE FROM ALL THOSE CUTS AND LACERATIONS!
Jake Mercer: THIS HAS TO END, AND I THINK RAVEN ROBERTS IS LOOKING TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN RIGHT HERE AS SHE MEASURES MINERVA UP FOR WHAT COULD BE THE END OF THIS YEARS-OLD GRUDGE THAT SHE’S HELD ALL THIS TIME!
Stew-O: SHE DRAGS MINERVA OUT OF THE BARBED WIRE ROPES, REVEALING HER MESSED UP FACE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE, BEFORE SHE GRABS HER BY THE LEGS AND WAIST AND HOISTS HER UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!
Flannery McCoy: HUNTRESS BOMB! HUNTRESS BOMB! HUNTRESS BOMB CONNECTS, THAT SIT-OUT SPINEBUSTER PLANTS MINERVA IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AS SHE PRACTICALLY DROWNS IN A POOL OF HER OWN BLOOD DUE TO ALL THE DAMAGE FROM THE BARBED WIRES TO THE FACE!
Jake Mercer: RAVEN ROBERTS HOOKS BOTH OF THE LEGS AS SHE GOES FOR A PIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: WAIT, NO! NO! MINERVA KICKED OUT AT THE VERY LAST SECOND, AND NOW RAVEN ROBERTS IS PRACTICALLY EXPLODING WITH THE RAGE THAT HAS BUILT UP THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THIS MATCH! THE BIRD OF PREY GETS BACK TO HER FEET AND STARTS STOMPING THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF MINERVA, THIS IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A CRIME SCENE!
Flannery McCoy: THE ‘FIRE’ IN FIRE AND ICE IS REALLY COMING OUT HERE AS RAVEN ROBERTS IS USING MINERVA’S BODY AS AN OUTLET FOR ALL THE ANGER AND PAIN SHE’S FELT THROUGHOUT HER CAREER, AND NOW SHE’S LOOKING TO PUT IT ALL TO AN END! SHE STORMS OVER TO THE CORNER AND KNEELS DOWN, PRACTICALLY SHIVERING WITH HATE AND RAGE AS SHE STOMPS HER FEET TO THE GROUND!
Jake Mercer: SHE’S MEASURING MINERVA UP FOR WHAT I CAN ONLY ASSUME IS HER FINISHING MANEUVER… MINERVA BARELY MANAGES TO GET BACK TO HER FEET, AND RAVEN IMMEDIATELY LURCHES BACK UP TO A STANDING POSITION AND SPRINTS TOWARDS MINERVA!
Stew-O: TALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! THE CLAYMORE KICK, SHE GOES FOR IT–
Flannery McCoy: BUT MINERVA JUST BARELY MANAGED TO JUMP OVER THE MANEUVER, CAUSING RAVEN TO GO FLYING UNDERNEATH! MINERVA HAS A PRACTICALLY CRAZED LOOK ACCENTUATED WITH ALL THE BLOOD ON HER FACE! SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE WANTS TO KILL RAVEN!
Jake Mercer: RAVEN GETS BACK TO HER FEET, BUT MINERVA RUSHES FORWARD AND JAMS HER FACE INTO THE BARBED WIRE ROPE AS WELL! THIS IS PAYBACK! SHE DRAGS IT LEFT AND RIGHT ACROSS THE BARBED WIRE BEFORE SHE SUDDENLY OPENS UP THAT BLOODIED HAND OF HERS AND APPLIES AN IRON CLAW TO THE FACE OF THE BIRD OF PREY!
Stew-O: THE LONG NAILS OF MINERVA ARE DIGGING INTO THE FACE OF RAVEN ROBERTS AS MINERVA HAS UNCHAINED HERSELF FROM ANYTHING HOLDING HER BACK AS SHE JUST LOOKS TO MAKE RAVEN ROBERTS FEEL ALL THE PAIN POSSIBLE HERE! THIS IS NO ORDINARY MANEUVER; MINERVA IS UNLEASHING THE STIR OF ECHOES! HER ULTIMATE FINISHER! THE STRONGEST MOVE IN HER MANEUVER!
Flannery McCoy: MINERVA TRIPS RAVEN ROBERTS WITH AN STO AS SHE FORCES HER TO THE GROUND, SMASHING THE BACK OF HER HEAD INTO THE CANVAS AS SHE DOES, AND NOW RAVEN ROBERTS IS LAID OUT WITH THE IRON CLAW SQUEEZING ALL THE BLOOD OUT OF HER AND THOSE NAILS PUNCTURING THE SKIN OF RAVEN ROBERTS’ FACE! THE REFEREE GOES FOR THE COUNT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jake Mercer: WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING!? MINERVA JUST FORCED RAVEN’S SHOULDERS OFF THE MAT TO BREAK UP THE PIN WHILE KEEPING THE IRON CLAW LOCKED IN THE ENTIRE TIME! SHE’S USING THE IRON CLAW AS A GRIP AS SHE’S SMASHING THE BACK OF RAVEN’S HEAD INTO THE CANVAS OVER AND OVER AND OER AGAIN! THIS IS OUT OF CONTROL, SHE HAD THE MATCH WON! SHE’S JUST NOT LETTING THE REFEREE COUNT THE PIN, SHE WANTS TO BRING RAVEN’S CAREER CRASHING DOWN TO A TOTAL HALT!
Stew-O: THE REFEREE GRABS RAVEN’S HAND AND HOISTS IT UP… IT DROPS ONCE! I THINK RAVEN ROBERTS IS OUT FOR SURE, BUT THE REFEREE IS DOING HIS DUE DILIGENCE; HE GRABS IT UP A SECOND TIME… BUT IT DROPS AGAIN! ONE MORE TIME IS ALL THAT’S NEEDED!
Flannery McCoy: THE REFEREE LIFTS IT UP ONCE AGAIN… BUT BEFORE IT CAN DROP, MINERVA CATCHES IT! THE BLACK ROSE HAS COMPLETELY LOST HER MIND HERE AS SHE CONTINUES BASHING THE SKULL OF RAVEN INTO THE MAT! THE REFEREE STARTS YELLING BEFORE…
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stephie Love: YOUR WINNER, AS A RESULT OF REFEREE STOPPAGE… MINEEEEEEEERVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
(“Blood, Milk & Sky” by White Zombie began playing once again to an entirely stunned audience as Minerva finally relinquishes the face of Raven Roberts, almost as though the sound of the bell snapped her out of a trance. She drops the head of Raven Roberts, which is revealed to be coated with blood – both her own and Minerva’s blood. Minerva slowly staggers up to her feet as her music keeps playing.)
Stew-O: I… can’t even begin to describe what we just witnessed here. We could sort of tell as Minerva marched out here tonight that she was bringing a side of her that we haven’t seen in so long, but seeing it play out like that in front of our eyes is just… harrowing.
Flannery McCoy: I can’t even begin to imagine what Raven Roberts is feeling right now… or rather, what she will be feeling when she is able to return to consciousness, knowing that her revenge was snatched out of her hands by the very woman who did that atrocious act against her all those years ago.
Jake Mercer: One thing is for certain; whether you agree with the sheer brutality that was put on display here today by Minerva or not, this was a STATEMENT. Minerva said she didn’t want to immediately make a statement on Dynasty, choosing to acclimate herself to the new brand at her own pace, but this war with Raven Roberts has forced her to make a statement unlike any other.
Stew-O: And now she rises, face bloodied from the aftermath of the war, and raises her hand in victory as she glares into the hardcam, putting the entire Dynasty roster on notice.
(The video feed fades as Minerva stands over the unconscious body of Raven Roberts, both women coated with blood, and Minerva holding her arms up triumphantly.)
(A commercial is shown for the new Fantastic Four movie, starring Ronan Malosi as The Thing.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Stephie Love: And it is a ‘LEGO Tables’ match for the EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP! There will be a sea of LEGO Tables both around and under the ring, but the only way to win this match is by pinfall or submission!
(The crowd roars loudly, and the camera pans around to the tables around the ring. The lights then go black and focus turns to the stage.)
(“As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.”
Ray Liotta’s signature line during his portrayal of Henry Hill in Goodfellas (1990) is played over the PA system and then leads into “Loose Change” hitting as Sasaki emerges from go position driving his signature Kawasaki Ninja H2R to the right side of the top of the entrance ramp, wearing his Icon Airflite Peacekeeper Rubatone full face Matte White motorcycle helmet as he surveys the crowd and forms praying hands. For him, or his opponent? The world may never know. Sasaki repeats these movements on the other side of the ramp, before speeding down it, parking his Kawasaki Ninja H2R just as he’s about to park his foot up the ass of the wrestler opposing him, taking off his helmet and fake-throwing it into the crowd before handing it off to the attendant and finger-wagging at the crowd with his shit-eating grin. The athletic Sasaki leaps up the apron, walks through the ropes, and resolves to shape his fate.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challenger, weighing in at 220 pounds, from Kobe, Japan… HE IS THE “LEADER OF THE UNDERWORLD” SHIINNZOOO! SSAAASSAAKKKIII!
Stew-O: Shinzo Sasaki has been on a never ending journey to bring championship gold back to his home country and tonight may very well be the night that he does that. This isn’t the first time he’s competed for the Interwire Championship, as he took on Ronan Malosi at this year’s King Of Elite. Shinzo had a major gripe about the way that one ended, but tonight he won’t have to worry about underhanded tactics…
Jake Mercer: Because the fans have voted for the LEGO Tables match! This is all about using the environment to your advantage and Shinzo is an incredibly smart wrestler. He’s already got great technical prowess in the ring, imagine what he’ll be doing tonight with no restrictions.
Flannery McCoy: The disdain these two men have one another has grown tremendously over the weeks, so I can only imagine what lengths Shinzo will be willing to go to tonight, not just to win the championship; but to hurt Hans Grayon.
(‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ by AFI is next to play to a huge pop from the crowd and Hans Grayson marches down to the ring, the Interwire Championship wrapped tightly around his waist. He tags many fans on his way down, and stops when looking at the LEGO Tables laid out around the ring. Hans nods, aware of his fate tonight and runs up the steps. He slingshots into the ring and unhooks the title from around his waist, climbing the top rope and holding his championship up for everyone to see … and then he hops down to turn to Shinzo and raises it up in his face, reminding the challenger of his trials tonight. Shinzo remains focused on the match, not impressed by the champion’s pre-match demeanor. The referee separates the two and Hans hands his championship off whilst removing his entrance gear.)
Stephie Love: His opponent, weighing in at 220 pounds, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada… HE IS THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION! “FIRE HEART” HAANNNNSSSS! GGRRAYYYSSOOOONNNNN!
Jake Mercer: Hans Grayson told Shinzo that he was going to pay for everything and with the stipulation of this match set in stone, Hans is certainly going to make Shinzo earn his keep tonight. Hans has been very clear about how he feels about SHinzo, but the only way he can humble him is by actually winning the match tonight.
Stew-O: Tonight is certainly a tall task for Hans. You’ve gotta do a lot to remain successful in EAW, and Shinzo has been beyond determined to get his first championship. That ups the stakes for Hans. No one ever said it was easy to get your first defense, but having to go through someone the caliber of Shinzo Sasaki? Even tougher.
Flannery McCoy: All of this makes tonight’s match intriguing. Hans has already done extraordinary things in EAW, but it’s going to take a lot of hard work to make it out of this one. But Hans is certainly primed for this, and there’s a lot at stake if he can pull this defense off.
(DING DING DING!)
Stew-O: We’re officially off to the races with our Interwire Championship match and it’s going to be very telling of the mindset of both men with their approach to the start here. Shinzo and Hans leave the corner, cautiously looking at one another. They look out to the LEGO Tables outside the ring but no one seems to be making a move…
Jake Mercer: IT’S SHINZO WHO WASTES NO TIME, LOOKING FOR A BOOT! HANS BYPASSES IT! SHINZO TURNS BACK TO HANS! ‘FLAMING PUNCH!’ HE CAUGHT HIM WITH THE FLAMING PUNCH IN THE OPENING STAGES OF THE MATCH!
Flannery McCoy: NOT QUITE! SHINZO FALLS ONTO HIS ASS RIGHT BEFORE HANS CATCHES HIM, CAUGHT OFF GUARD! HANS WAS *THIS* CLOSE TO CRACKING HIM! Shinzo rolls out and Hans follows, stepping out to the apron!
Jake Mercer: Mistake from Hans! Shinzo sweeps his legs from underneath and he falls back first onto the apron! Shinzo yanks him off of the apron and leans him against it, battering him with a barrage of knees to the ribs! Hans tries to cover up and Shinzo hurts him with forearm after forearm! Hans is covering up to the best of his ability but it’s not working, his body is bouncing back-first against the apron!
Stew-O: Shinzo then takes Hans by the head and throws him head first into the ring post! Hans stumbles forward and Shinzo circles around the ring, taking the waist to lift him up for a BACK SUPLEX ON THE LEGO TABLE ALREADY?!?!
Flannery McCoy: HANS BACKFLIPS, LANDING BEHIND THE TABLE! Shinzo doesn’t hear a crack, but he knows he tossed Hans up high in the air! Shinzo turns back and Hans leaps up the table, taking advantage of the sturdiness of the LEGOs and he runs into a hurricanrana on the floor! The athleticism of the champion is in full effect right now!
Jake Mercer: Shinzo wheezes out in pain, holding his back. He takes the apron skirt and pulls himself up. Hans grabs him by the head, but Shinzo throws a swift elbow to the ribs! Hans hunches over, and Shinzo up kicks him with a toe kick to the jaw. Hans wobbles and Shinzo revs up a flying knee– Hans sidesteps it and takes the waist!
Flannery McCoy: Now Hans tries a back suplex onto the apron himself! But in the air, Shinzo grabs the top rope and pulls himself back to the apron! Hans tries to pull Shinzo down, but Shinzo thrust kicks him in the jaw! Hans stumbles backwards, leaning against the table… SHINZO TRIES A SPRINGBOARD VARIATION OF THE SASAKISAULT THROUGH THE TABLE—
Stew-O: Hans leaps onto the apron and shoves Shinzo face first into the ring! Shinzo holds his jaw, checking his lip for pain. Hans takes the ropes, waiting for Shinzo! HE WANTS IT ALREADY?! HE LEANS IN, PREPARING FOR THE ‘BURNING SHOT LARIAT!’
Jake Mercer: CAN’T GET THERE IN TIME! SHINZO DROPKICKS THE ROPES AND HANS GETS TIED UP IN THE ROPES! HIS BODY DANGLES AGAINST THE APRON, WHILE HIS ARM IS TRAPPED! SHINZO RISES TO THE FEET AND STARTS KICKING AT THE ARM!
Flannery McCoy: Shinzo is beating the hell out of Hans’ arm! Hans is certainly in discomfort right now, but he has the ropes to thank because if he didn’t get trapped, he may have slipped off the ropes and flown through the table on the outside!
Jake Mercer: The referee is grimacing at this but he can’t do anything about it! Shinzo takes Hans arm and tries to snap it against the ropes! But Hans shows his athleticism, skinning the cat with his free body and throwing a kick to the back of the head! Shinzo pulls on the ropes, trying to yank the arm for an armbar– but ANOTHER KICK FROM HANS AND HE SLIPS, INADVERTENTLY HELPING HANS GET HIS ARM FREE!
Stew-O: He can’t get right back in, though! Hans falls to a kneel against the apron, holding his shoulder. He slowly pulls himself up, shaking out his arm– SHINZO IS UP AND HE DROPKICKS THE SHOULDER OF HANS! HANS SOARS OFF THE APRON THROUGH THE AIR, FLYING OVER A TABLE AND HITTING THE BARRICADES SHOULDER FIRST!
Flannery McCoy: Shinzo sees the impact, grinning. He rolls out of the ring and gets his hands on a LEGO Table for the first time in this match and slides it into the ring. He drags up Hans and leans him against the barricade, irish whipping him shoulder-first into the ring post!
Jake Mercer: NASTY IMPACT! His bone smacks off the post! Hans falls to a knee, holding at his shoulder. Shinzo grins, pulling Hans up and pulling him away from the ring post. He turns him and traps that bad arm, getting the other one… AND HE TOSSES HANS WITH A TIGER SUPLEX RIGHT ON THE FLOOR!
Stew-O: THAT’S ENOUGH TO CONCUSS A MAN! THE BACK OF HANS HEAD JUST HIT THAT PADDING, AND I’M NOT CONVINCED IT WAS ENOUGH TO PROTECT HIM! THAT’S CONCRETE UNDERNEATH! Shinzo sits up, and of course, he’s happy with himself!
Flannery McCoy: A look of worry on the face of the referee, but the decision is out of his hands! He’s simply here to count the pin or check for submission and that’s what he’s going to do! Shinzo pulls Hans up and throws him into the ring, sliding in. He grabs the LEGO Table and sets it up against the corner.
Jake Mercer: Hans reaches up for Hans, wrapping a hand around his ankle. Shinzo drags Hans up and tilts his chin up, lighting him up with a knife edge chop that rings throughout the building! Hans falls to a kneel, the chop getting both his chest and close to his shoulder.
Stew-O: Shinzo wastes no time, dragging Hans up and GETTING HIM WITH ANOTHER ONE! Hans stays upright, but staggers into the turnbuckles this time. Shinzo takes Hans’s wrist and looks back… HAMMER WHIP ACROSS THE RING INTO THE LEGO TABLES!
Flannery McCoy: HANS SHIFTS HIS MOMENTUM AND SLIDES TO THE APRON! HE CLIMBS THE TOP ROPE AND SHINZO RUNS ACROSS THE RING, TRYING TO SHOVE HIM OFF-
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD! HANS PLACES HIS HANDS ON THE TABLE AND JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE TOWARDS SHINZO, TILTING THE TABLE DOWN WITH HIM! SHINZO RAISES HIS HANDS UP TO PROTECT HIMSELF BUT THE LEGO BRICKS CRACKS HIM OVER THE BACK OF THE HEAD! THE TABLE DOESN’T BREAK, BUT THE IMPACT OF THE LEGO MAY HAVE PUT SHINZO IN A BAD WAY!
Flannery McCoy: What even made Hans think of that?! Shinzo is trying to recover, whilst Hans flips the table back over and sets it up. Shinzo wobbles up, clutching at the back of his head. He reaches for Hans– BUT HANS ELEVATES INTO A JUMPING KNEE TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!
Stew-O: He’s stunned! Hans scoops him up, spinning INTO A MICHINOKU DRIVER THROUGH THE TABLE! NO! SHINZO SLIPS OFF! HE TAKES HANS BY THE HEAD AND SLAMS HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE LEGOS! HANS’ HEAD BOUNCES OF THE LEGOS AND HE FALLS TO A KNEE!
Jake Mercer: He starts to pull himself up and Shinzo sees an opening! He bounces off the ropes and he soars into a STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI–
Stew-O: NOPE! HANS DUCKS IT! SHINZO FALLS ONTO HIS FACE AGAINST! HE WOBBLES UP, HIS BACK FACING HANS… AND HANS HOISTS HIM UP INTO A FULL NELSON! NO! SHINZO TRIES TO FIGHT IT BUT HE CAN’T! DRAGON SUPLEX THROUGH THE LEGO TABLE! IT BREAKS ACROSS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! SHINZO IS DOWN AND OUT!
Flannery McCoy: Hans moves everything out of the way! He crawls over, hooking Shinzo’s leg for the cover! Surprisingly, we’re at our first pinfall of the match!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT SHINZO KICKS OUT! HE MAY BE HURT BUT HE CERTAINLY HASN’T LOST HIS DESIRE TO BE CHAMPION! SHINZO ROLLS AWAY FROM THE ROPES, STILL HOLDING HIS HEAD! HANS RISES TO HIS FEET, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO NEXT…
Stew-O: As Hans gets to Shinzo, he rolls out of the ring entirely! Shinzo clutches the back of his head some more, struggling to recover after that dragon suplex. Hans steps out of the ring and pulls him up… Shinzo swats his hands away!
Flannery McCoy: However Hans won’t go down that easily! He throws a punch– Shinzo blocks it and follows up with his own! Another punch from Shinzo! Hans follows up with a punch! And now these two men are slugging it out!
Jake Mercer: They’re going punch for punch! But Shinzo’s still hurt! Hans is getting the better of him! He punches him against the apron! No! Shinzo shoves him back, trying to build some sort of space! Hans comes back.. AND SHINZO PUSH KICKS HIM BACKWARDS! HANS FALLS BACK FIRST ONTO A LEGO TABLE! AND THE BRICKS DIG INTO HIS BACK!
Stew-O: Shinzo charges over, keeping Hans at bay on the table and pummeling him with his punches! He pulls Hans by the hair, keeping a tight grip as he keeps throwing repeated heavy shots to the forehead! Hans tries to cover up but he can’t!
Jake Mercer: Now Shinzo yanks Hans off the table and takes him by the head. He hooks the tights and lifts him up! GOURDBUSTER ON THE TABLE! THE BRICKS DIG INTO HANS’S CHEST NOW! Shinzo looks at Hans in agony and grins. I think now he wants to break the table! He pulls Hans up and lays him flat on the table. He hangs him off the table and jams his head into his thighs. He double underhooks the arms, trying to drag him off to set up for a Tiger Driver-
Flannery McCoy: THE GRIP’S BEING FOUGHT! HANS HAS COME BACK TO LIFE AND NOW HE’S STARTING TO SHAKE HIS ARMS! SHINZO IS TRYING TO STILL TRY FOR THE TIGER DRIVER! BUT HANS GETS FREE! SHINZO’S EYES WIDEN WHEN HE REALIZES WHAT THIS ENTAILS!
Stew-O: BACK BODY DROP ONTO THE LEGO TABLE! SHINZO GETS TOSSED INTO THE AIR AND CRASHES RIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE! HE WAILS OUT IN AGONY AND HANS FALLS TO HIS FOURS, AND HE’S STILL IN THIS ONE! SHINZO HAS GONE THROUGH A TABLE THAT HE SET UP TWICE, NOW!
Jake Mercer: Hans looks back to Shinzo, pulling him out of the wreckage. He contemplates a pinfall but he wants to do more damage! Hans walks over, taking another LEGO Table and he sets it up against the barricade, much like Shinzo did with the table in the corner earlier!
Flannery McCoy: Shinzo is still laid out, clutching at his back. Hans drags him up, taking the head. He turns to the table, hoisting him up– Shinzo with a punch to the head! Another one! Hans struggles, dropping Shinzo back to his feet.
Stew-O: Both men are stunned, trying to fight through the pain! BUT HANS CHARGES IN! SHINZO LEAPS ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! ‘DEEP CUT!’ FRANKENSTEINER INTO THE TABLE! THE TOP OF HANS’S HEAD COLLIDES WITH THE BRICKS! HE STAGGERS BACK, HOLDING HIS FOREHEAD IN AGONY!
Jake Mercer: LARIIIATTTOOOO FROM SHINZO! HE SMASHES HIM AGAINST THE TABLE! HANS YELLS OUT! HIS BACK IS LODGED AGAINST THE LEGOS! SHINZO PULLS HIM OFF THE TABLE, HOOKING THE HEAD! HE TURNS AROUND AND LIFTS HIM UP–
Stew-O: This could be it! SHINZO LETS OUT A WAR CRY, AND DROPS INTO ‘ENTER THE DRAGON!’ VERTICAL DROP BRAINBUSTER THROUGH THE TABLE AGAINST THE BARRICADE! AND IT BREAKS IN HALF! THE LEGO BRICKS BREAK APART AND BOTH MEN FEEL THE IMPACT, BUT HANS GOT THE BRUNT OF THE DAMAGE FOR SURE!
Flannery McCoy: HE JUST DROPPED HIM ON HIS HEAD THROUGH THE TABLE! THE CROWD HAS LOST THEIR MIND AND UNDERSTANDABLY SO! HOW DO YOU FOLLOW THAT UP/!?!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Stew-O: IF SHINZO WANTS TO WIN THIS ONE, HE’S GOT TO COME BACK TO LIFE RIGHT NOW! HANS IS DOWN AND OUT, AND THE REFEREE HAS EXITED TO CHECK ON BOTH MEN…
Jake Mercer: FINALLY! SHINZO ROLLS OVER, STRAPPING AN ARM ONTO HANS’S CHEST FOR THE COVER! THE REFEREE HERE FOR THE COUNT!
Referee: OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH–
Flannery McCoy: HANS GRAYSON KICKS OUT! IT WAS A HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR SHINZO, BUT THE TIME HE TOOK CERTAINLY HURT HIS CHANCES OF LEAVING WITH THE WIN THERE! NOT TO MENTION, IT TAKES A LOT TO PUT DOWN AN ELITIST LIKE HANS GRAYSON!
Jake Mercer: Shinzo grabs the barricade and slowly pulls himself up, looking around. A rabid fan of Hans is in the front row, yelling at Shinzo and telling him he doesn’t have what it takes to win! Hinzo takes the fan’s cup and opens it, splashing it onto Hans’ face!
Stew-O: THEN HE SPLASHES THE REMAINING IN THE FAN’S FACE! THAT WAS COMPLETELY UNCALLED FOR! THE FAN IS PISSED, BUT SHINZO QUICKLY DRAGS HANS UP FOR A SNAP SUPLEX AGAINST THE BARRICADE, RATTLING IT AND FORCING THE FANS IN THE FRONT ROW TO BACK AWAY!
Flannery McCoy: We’ve got an altercation at ringside with security getting involved, but Shinzo doesn’t care! He pulls Hans up and takes him by the hair and the tights, throwing him shoulder first into the ring steps! Hans yells out, grabbing at his bad shoulder! Shinzo rubs his back, gritting his teeth through the pain.
Jake Mercer: Shinzo pulls Hans up and throws him in the ring. He slides in, taking the ropes to help him stand upright. Hans shakes his head, doing all he can to get back up and stay in this one.
Stew-O: As he does, Shinzo is waiting for him with an elbow smash! Hans wobbles, shaking his head. He then throws a forearm smash! Hans put a lot in that, but it wasn’t enough to hurt Shinzo! Shinzo with another elbow, cracking Hans across the side of the head! Hans falls to a kneel!
Flannery McCoy: The challenger senses weakness from the champion and he doesn’t like it! SHINZO DRAGS HANS UP HIMSELF AND ELBOWS HIM AGAIN! Hans falls to a kneel, leaning his head down! Shinzo is waiting for Hans to fight back! Hans slowly rises– SHINZO ELBOWS HIM AGAIN! Hans falls over! He crawls to the ropes, taking them to rise up…
Jake Mercer: While Hans is rising with the ropes, SHINZO ELBOWS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD! HE FALLS BACK DOWN! Shinzo circles around him like prey, demanding he actually do something about it! Hans is trying his absolute hardest to do so, but not good enough for the challenger…
Stew-O: I think Shinzo has had enough! He pulls Hans up and places his hand around the back of his head and starts drilling him with repeated elbows over and over on his own accord! Hans is getting battered– wait—
Flannery McCoy: HANS IS STARTING TO EAT THEM! HE’S STARTING TO TAKE THESE ELBOWS! SHINZO KEEPS ELBOWING HIM, BUT HANS IS WALKING THEM DOWN! HANS SWATS SHINZO’S ARMS DOWN!
Jake Mercer: FOREARM SMASH FROM HANS! LEFT HOOK! FOREARM SMASH! RIGHT HOOK! LEFT HOOK! A PUNCH TO THE BODY! AND AN OVERHAND RIGHT! SHINZO FALLS BACKWARDS, TRYING TO THROW HIS GUARD UP–
Stew-O: HANS LEAPS INTO THE ‘FLAMING PUNCH!’ SHINZO FALLS OUT THE MIDDLE ROPE! HE’S LAID OUT ON THE GROUND! HANS FALLS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, BREATHING HEAVILY! HE’S HURT, BUT SHINZO HAS REALLY FIRED HIM UP NOW!
Flannery McCoy: After a couple of deep breaths, Hans rolls out. Shinzo is staring up at the ceiling, hardly conscious of his surroundings right now. He crawls to the other side of the ring, trying to get the steps to help himself up…
Jake Mercer: Hans dusts his feet like a bull, getting in three point stance as he waits for Shinzo to get up… Shinzo does– AND HE CHARGES INTO A SPEAR AGAINST THE STEEL STEPS! THE STEPS FLIP OVER AND SHINZO GOES OVER WITH THEM!
Stew-O: THAT WAS A NASTY SPILL! BUT HANS ISN’T DONE! HE MOUNTS SHINZO, AND HE STARTS BEATING THE HELL OUT OF HIM WITH REPEATED PUNCHES TO THE HEAD! SHINZO IS HARDLY EVEN CONSCIOUS, AND NOW HE’S GETTING A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE!
Flannery McCoy: He gets released and Hans digs under the ring! He grabs another LEGO Table and slides it into the ring! But his focus is still Shinzo! He pulls hiim up and throws him into the barricade! Shinzo falls against it, but Hans didn’t throw him with another force to drop him… What’s he thinking?
Stew-O: Shinzo is trying to keep himself up with that barricade… Hans smirks and he rolls back into the ring! What the hell is on his mind– HANS HITS OFF THE ROPES AT FULL SPEED! Shinzo backs away from the barricade, thinking he can slide back in—
Jake Mercer: LAUNCHING TOPE CON HILO OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR! HANS TAKES SHINZO DOWN LIKE A HEAT SEEKING MISSILE! HE ROLLS THROUGH HE IMPACT OF THE ROTATION, RISING TO HIS FEET! HANS IS HURTING AS YOU CAN SEE, BUT HE’S REALLY FEELING IT NOW! SHINZO HAS NO IDEA WHERE HE’S AT!
Flannery McCoy: This is what it takes to not just become champion but REMAIN champion! Hans has really kicked into second gear now! He pulls Shinzo up and throws him into the ring, sliding in behind him. Hans enters the ring, and he picks up the LEGO Table! He’s yelling, calling Shinzo up!
Jake Mercer: How the hell is he going to just get up after what Hans has been doing to him! Shinzo is still in a completely different realm, trying his hardest to get back in this one but I can’t imagine he can easily do so! Shinzo is still trying, though!
Stew-O: And he does will himself up, AND HANS DRIVES THE TABLE INTO HIS HEAD! SHINZO TOPPLES OVER! HANS TAKES THE TABLE AND SETS IT UP IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! HE GRABS SHINZO AND THROWS HIM ONTO IT! HAN BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES FOR MOMENTUM!
Jake Mercer: HE BYPASSES THE TABLE AND SPRINGBOARDS UP THE MIDDLE ROPE! HE FLIPS OFF INTO THE ‘FIRESAULT’ THROUGH THE TABLE!!!
Flannery McCoy: SHINZO ROLLS OFF OF THE TABLE AT THE LAST SECOND! HANS GOES RIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE! OH MY GOD! SHINZO’S STILL IN THIS ONE– BUT THERE’S NO TELLING IF THE CHAMPION IS! HANS YELLS OUT IN AGONY!
Stew-O: That’s why it’s high risk, high reward! The rotation and velocity off a top rope move can hurt your opponent badly but with no cushion or done wrong, it can hurt you a whole lot more and we just saw that firsthand!
Jake Mercer: Shinzo wobbles up, using the boot to protect himself as he stomps the table, freeing the legos from the wood! He drags Hans up and takes him in a front facelock, slowly draping his legs onto the top rope…
Flannery McCoy: ‘THE 36TH CHAMBER!’ HE SPINS INTO THAT DRAGONSCREW NECKWHIP OFF THE ROPES,AND THEY LAND ONTO THE LEGOS! THE NECK OF HANS SLAMS INTO THE BRICKS! VICIOUS IMPACT! SHINZO CRAWLS OVER AND HE HOOKS THE LEGS OF HANS, YELLING FOR THE REFFEREE!
Referee: OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Refereee: TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: ONCE AGAIN! HANS GRAYSON FINDS WAY TO KICK OUT! THE GRIT OF THIS MAN IS UNMATCHED, BUT HE CAN ONLY DO THIS FOR SO LONG! SHINZO STARES DOWN AT HANS AND DRAGS HIM UP, THROWING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST!
Jake Mercer: Hans had a huge burst, but now Shinzo is the one back in control! He drags Hans up and throws him into the ring post across the ring! Shinzo has controlled a majority of this match, save for the two times using a table backfired on him… But we saw it backfire pretty badly for Hans right there!
Flannery McCoy: Shinzo drops down and rolls out, pulling Hans out of the ring. He takes him by the hair and wrist, and irish whips him across the ring– sending him shoulder first into the ring steps! Hans falls over, crying out in agony as he reaches for that shoulder! Shinzo pulls Hans up and drags him up the ramp?!
Jake Mercer: A knee to the ribs from Shinzo! He’ll do whatever it takes for some sort of advantage! He takes Hans by the head and looks back, nodding his head. He hoists him up–
Stew-O: OH NO! SNAP SUPLEX ON THE RAMP! GOODNESS! THERE’S NO PADDING THERE! HE JUST LAID HANS OUT ON STEEL FLOORING! Shinzo sits up, rubbing his back after that suplex. Hans isn’t even moving.
Jake Mercer: Shinzo rises up and walks around the ring, grabbing one of the LEGO Tables. He takes it up with him to the ramp. Hans has rolled away, and Shinzo is in hot pursuit as Hans is continuing to crawl up the ramp…?
Flannery McCoy: HE’S BUYING HIMSELF TIME! SHINZO SEES HIM RISING UP AND CHARGES IN WITH THE LEGO TABLE! HANS CHARGES FORWARD, FLYING INTO A SHOTGUN DROPKICK TO THE TABLE! HE KICKS IT WITH ALL OF HIS FORCE, AND THE TABLE LEGS SMACK INTO THE HEAD OF SHINZO!
Jake Mercer: SHINZO STAGGERS, AND HE FALLS BACKWARDS! HE ROLLS DOWN THE RAMP! WITH THE TABLE IN HIS HANDS! SHINZO’S ENTIRE BODY GOES TUMBLING DOWN UNTIL HE’S BACK AT THE END! SHINZO LIES THERE, THE LEGO SIDE OF THE TABLE PRESSED AGAINST HIS BODY… NOT WHAT HE INTENDED!
Stew-O: LOOK AT HANS! HE REALIZES THIS AND HE SEES AN OPENING! HANS RUNS DOWN THE RAMP, BUILDING MOMENTUM… AND HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF OFF ONTO SHINZO WITH A ROLLING THUNDER TO THE TABLE! THE LEGOS CRASH AGAINST SHINZO’S TORSO AND FACE! OH MY GOD!
Flannery McCoy: THE CHAMPION JUST BROKE THE TABLE WITHOUT EVEN SETTING IT UP! HOW OFTEN DO YOU SEE THAT HAPPEN?! HANS ROLLS AWAY, THOUGH! HE GOT ALL WOOD, AND HE MAY HAVE JUST CUT HIMSELF ON THE BACK! BOTH MEN ARE IN AGONY, AND I’M NOT QUITE SURE WHO GOT THE WORST OF THAT, BUT SHINZO CERTAINLY ISN’T MOVING RIGHT NOW!
Jake Mercer: Shinzo pushes the table off of him and he rolls over, covering his head in agony. Hans takes the apron skirt and slowly rises. He pulls Shinzo up and throws him into the ring, Shinzo leans his body against the mat, breathing heavily. Hans slides in behind him, pulling Shinzo up.
Stew-O: Hans takes Shinzo up by the waistband and pulls him close to his wait. Hans then transitions to a hammerlock and ducks his head under Shinzo’s arm, nodding! ‘HEAT TWIST!’ THE SPIN INTO A HAMMERLOCK LARIAT CONNECTS! SHINZO GETS FLATTENED!
Flannery McCoy: He quickly crawls over, hooking the legs for a cover! Shinzo’s not moving after that blow to the head!
Referee: OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–
(…)
Jake Mercer: NOPE! SHINZO KICKS OUT! THAT WAS CLOSE, BUT IT WASN’T CLOSE ENOUGH! HANS SLAPS THE MAT! THIS MATCH HAS BEEN HEATED FROM THE START, NOW FRUSTRATION IS STARTING TO SHOW ON THE FACE OF THE CHAMPION!
Stew-O: He pulls Shinzo up and grabs him by the waist and legs. He plants him onto the top rope, starting to climb the middle rope. Hans forearms Shinzo, trying his best to go high risk. He elbows him again! Shinzo is hardly showing any resistance!
Flannery McCoy: I don’t think anyone would be able to under these circumstances! Hans grabs onto Shinzo, starting to cradle him… HE WANTS THE ‘FIRE FLY!”
Jake Mercer: Fight or flight kicks in for Shinzo and he starts throwing repeated elbows to the side of the head! He digs his fingers into the neck of Hans, doing whatever it takes to avoid this happening! Hans releases, yelling out in agony! Shinzo now starts to slip through the legs-
Stew-O: He gets free and trips Hans face first onto the top turnbuckle! Hans’s face smashes off the turnbuckle! Shinzo takes his waist and lifts him back onto the top rope, his back facing him… Shinzo clubs Hans in the back of the head!
Flannery McCoy: Shinzo pushes Hans forward, climbing the top rope with him. He grabs him by the hair, showing him off to the booing crowd. Shinzo grins and now he throws crossface punches to Hans! Hans tries his best to cover up but he can’t! He’s getting beat bad with those clubbing blows!
Jake Mercer: It’s perfect! He’s got him back exactly where he wants him! AND SHINZO LEAPS UP! ‘THE FOURTH DIMENSION!’ VICTORY STAR DROP RIGHT ONTO THE LEGOS SPRAWLED OUT FROM THE BROKEN TABLES! HANS’S NECK MEETS THE HARDWOOD *AND* THE LEGOS!
Stew-O: I DON’T THINK THE HUMAN BODY IS SUPPOSED TO BEND LIKE IT JUST DID FOR HANS RIGHT NOW! SHINZO FALLS BACK, SO EXHAUSTED FROM THIS MATCH THAT HE’S NOT ABLE TO CAPITALIZE… BUT THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE THINGS I’VE EVER SEEN! HANS IS STILL NOT SHOWING ANY SIGNS OF HIS STATUS IN THIS ONE!
Flannery McCoy: Shinzo crawls over, wiping the legos out of the way and he rolls Hans over to hook the legs for the cover!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Jake Mercer: A KICK OUT FROM THE CHAMPION! HOW?!?! BUT THE ARENA HAS COME ALIVE! HANS WILL NOT STAY DOWN, NO MATTER WHAT SHINZO DOES TO TRY AND WRAP THIS ONE UP! THIS MATCH IS STILL GOING, AND WHAT A MATCH IT HAS BEEN, AT THAT!
Stew-O: I don’t think Shinzo has truly come to terms with what just happened! He kneels up, questioning the referee!
Shinzo Sasaki: (off-mic) Are you joking around right now?! How was that NOT three?!
Referee: (off-mic) It was two! I’m sorry! He kicked out after I counted two!
Flannery McCoy: An exasperated sigh from the challenger… I hope that his will isn’t breaking right now because that could give the win away to Hans! He looks down at Hans and drives a stomp right to the forehead! Hans falls backwards, clutching his head.
Stew-O: Shinzo stares around at the legos and hesitates… By the looks of it– I think he’s gotten some sick idea?! He picks up the legos scattered around the ring and holds them in his hands! Hans rolls over, trying his hardest to get up! Shinzo pulls HAns up and tilts him backwards, POURING LEGOS INTO HIS MOUTH?!
Jake Mercer: HANS STRUGGLES! HE WANTS TO RESIST IT BUT HE CAN’T! THE LEGOS ARE IN AND BEFORE HE CAN SPIT THEM OUT–
Flannery McCoy: SHINZO TRAPS HIM IN ‘SPIRIT WORLD!’ STANDING GUILLOTINE CHOKE! HANS IS STRUGGLING TO FIND HIS BREATH, BECAUSE HE’S BEING CHOKED OUT AND THE LEGOS ARE STILL IN HIS MOUTH! HE’S STRUGGLING, TRYING HIS HARDEST TO BREAK THE GRIP! SHINZO WRENCHES BACK, TUGGING ON IT WITH ALL OF HIS MIGHT!
Stew-O: THAT GUILLOTINE IS IN TIGHT! HANS WAVES HIS ARMS AROUND DESPERATELY! THE LEGOS ARE LODGED IN HIS MOUTH! HE HAS NOWHERE TO GO AND THAT’S NOT GOOD FOR HIM AT ALL! SHINZO NODS HIS HEAD, PULLING AND PULLING!
Jake Mercer: HIS FACE IS TURNING RED! HE CAN’T CATCH HIS BREATH WHATSOEVER! HE’S RUNNING OUT OF AIR AND HE’S GOT NOWHERE TO GO! HANS IS TRYING HIS HARDEST TO FIGHT IT, BUT I DON’T KNOW FOR HOW MUCH LONGER!
Stew-O: AND WITH WHAT COMES WITH THIS SUBMISSION, THE REPEATED KNEE STRIKES TO THE HEAD! HE’S PUMMELING HIM WITH EACH SHOT TO THE HEAD! HANS IS TRYING TO FIGHT THE HANDS, BUT HE CAN’T! THE KNEES ARE THROWING HIM OFF TRACK!
Flannery McCoy: I think… HE’S ABOUT TO GO OUT! HANS’S BODY STARTS TO HANG LOW AND HIS ARMS START TO GO LIMP–
Jake Mercer: HANS CATCHES SHINZO’S LEG! SHINZO STRUGGLES, AND HANS IS HOLDING AT THAT LEG! HANS RAMS HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! SHINZO TRIES TO HOLD ONTO THE HOLD, BUT HANS BREAKS FREE, FINALLY!
Stew-O: SHINZO SWINGS FOR HANS! HANS DUCKS! AND HE SPITS THE LEGOS INTO HIS FACE! SHINZO STAGGERS, COVERING HIS FACE! HANS BOUNCES OUT OF THE CORNER—
Flannery McCoy: AND HE LEAPS INTO THE ‘FLAMING PUNCH!” SHINZO GOES DOWN! HANS FALLS TO THE CORNER, TRYING TO CATCH HIS BREATH! HE COUGHS OUT, GASPING FOR AIR! SHINZO ISN’T MOVING, AND HANS ROLLS TO THE APRON! HE TAKES THE ROPES, STOMPING THE MAT FURIOUSLY!
Jake Mercer: We all know what he wants now! Shinzo slowly starts to pull himself up, and HANGS TAKES THE ROPES TO LAUNCH HIMSELF OVER FOR THE ‘BURNING SHOT LARIAT’– OH! WOAH!
Stew-O: SHINZO FINDS IT IN HIM TO CHARGE OVER AND SHOVE HANS OFF THE ROPES BEFORE HE CAN FLIP IN— AND HANS FLIES OFF, GOING THROUGH THE LAST REMAINING RINGSIDE LEGO TABLE! HOW DO YOU RECOVER FROM THAT?!
Jake Mercer: THE ANSWER IS THAT YOU DON’T! EVERY TIME HANS MOUNTS A COMEBACK IN THIS MATCH, SHINZO FINDS A WAY TO TURN THE TIDES AGAIN! HANS IS DONE! SHINZO CRAWLS OVER, ROLLING OUT…
Flannery McCoy: HE USHERS THE REFEREE OVER, AND HE HOOKS THE LEGS RIGHT HERE! IT WAS A NASTY SPILL AND HANS MAY STILL BE OUT!

Stew-O: HANS KICKS OUT! SHINZO SLAPS THE FLOOR, YELLING OUT! HE DRAGS HIM UP, THROWING HIM INTO THE RING! SHINZO FALLS TO THE APRON, BREATHING HEAVILY… HE LOOKS UNDER THE RING, AND HE PULLS A LEGO TABLE FROM UNDERNEATH!

Stew-O: HANS KICKS OUT AGAIN! SHINZO SHAKES HIS HEAD… BUT HE’S NOT DONE!
Jake Mercer: SHINZO PULLS HANS UP, TRAPPING THE WRIST AND WRAPPING HIS ARM OVER HIS SHOULDER! HE LIFTS HIM UP, NODDING PROFUSELY! ‘MADVILLAINY’–

(DING DING DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner of this match, AAAAAANNNNDD SSTIIILLLLLLL THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!! HAAAAAAANNNSSSSSSSSSS! GRRRRRRAAYYYYSSSOOOOOONNNNNNN!
(Hans rolls off of Shinzo, gasping for air. The referee checks on him and helps him up. Hans falls against the ropes, needing them to stay upright as the referee walks over to grab his championship. He hands him it and Hans raises the title up triumphantly, despite all the pain that he went through just to leave with the victory. The referee moves over to check on Shinzo, who is still battered after going through that table.)
Stew-O: These two men just went through absolute hell! I can’t say for certain that I had a clue who was winning that entire time, they beat each other from pillar to post and it was all in pursuit of becoming Interwire Champion!
Flannery McCoy: Hans Grayson is the Interwire Champion for a reason and we just got a great reason of why. Shinzo Sasaki brought his best, no doubt. He once again continues to prove why he is valued so highly on this brand — but it wasn’t enough in the long run! Hans showed extreme resilience tonight and once again, he finds a way to successfully defend a championship at Reckless Wiring!
Jake Mercer: What a brutal match! I’m still in shock at some of the things we saw tonight. But what we can takeaway at the very end is that Hans Grayson is STILL champion and who knows if that’s going to be changing anytime soon!
(Hans tags the fans on his way to the back, proudly holding the Interwire Championship. Shinzo is helped by the referee and officials out of the ring, both men sporting the effects of a tough and grueling championship match.)

(‘I’m not a woman, I’m a god’ by Halsey begins to blare through the speakers of The Sphere as Usagi Senshi comes out, dressed in her signature ring gear with the sun umbrella being twirled around. Usagi surveys the crowd as she does a cute, but deadly pose before it transitions to: ’Let Me Hear’ by Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas. Soon after, Usagi is joined by Saori Aizen, who wears matching colors to Usagi. The two women stand next to each other, united as the look at the Unified Tag Team Champions that are hung about twenty-five feet in the air.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH HAS BEEN VOTED BY YOU AND IT’S A TABLES, LADDERS AND CHAIRS MATCH FOR THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!!!!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Stephie Love: IN THIS MATCH, THERE ARE NO DISQUALIFICATIONS, NO COUNT OUTS…THE ONLY WAY TO WIN THIS MATCH IS BY CLIMBING UP A LADDER AND RETRIEVING THOSE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!! INTRODUCING FIRST…THE CHALLENGERS…THEY ARE THE TEAM OF ‘STARBOY’…USAGI SENSHI AND ‘DEMON CHILD’…SAORI AIZEN!!!!!!
Stew-O: With 38% of the vote, the EAW Universe voted for this Unified Tag Team Championship match to be held in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match! To me, it could have been any of the three options. The other two were a Tag Team Tornado and a Tables and Stables Match. Those other two options would have been fantastic to see! I was kind of curious to see what the EAW Universe was going to lean towards.
Flannery McCoy: Now, The Jaded Hearts came onto the last episode of Dynasty wanting challenges for the Unified Tag Team Championship after missing out on defending those titles at Midsummer Massacre and Saori Aizen and Usagi Senshi answered that all! Thus, making this match official!
Jake Mercer: We’ve only seen this small alliance of Usagi Senshi and Saori Aizen for a few weeks. The two of them came together after finding themselves in the crosshairs off Daniella Atlas. Usagi sacrificed herself to her out Saori and Saori recognized what Usagi did. The women’s division on the Dynasty brand is brutal this season, so it’s going to require doing what you can to have the advantage. The strength in numbers always seems to work out in the long run. It won’t be much of an advantage with this match, but Usagi knows a thing or two about being in a tag team. Matched with the unpredictability of Saori and how she will perform in these matches, I think it’s going to make things interesting here.
(‘True Love’ by CFO$ begins to play as The Jaded Hearts — Sienna Jade and Kassidy Heart, the Unified Tag Team Champions, walking out in matching colors, but specified to the liking of their ring gear. The two women pose with each other as they soak up the negativity of the crowd before making their way down the ramp, completely unbothered.)
Stephie Love: AND INTRODUCING THEIR OPPONENTS…THEY ARE THE CURRENT REIGNING EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… ‘THE GREATEST’…SIENNA JADE AND ‘THE MAD KING’…KASSIDY HEART…THE JADED HEARTS!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: At Pain for Pride, The Jaded Hearts retained the Unified Tag Team Championships against The British Invasion and NICHOLISM in an impressive bout. Now, they look to add another Unified Tag Team Championship defense to their belt as they look to take down Usagi Senshi and Saori Aizen!
Flannery McCoy: They didn’t want to return to the Dynasty brand, but they felt like it was a slap to their face that they were regulated to hosts of Midsummer Massacre. They believed that they were above all of that nonsense and I think that there are some people that agree with that claim.
Jake Mercer: These are once in a generation caliber talents, Flann! Just like you don’t keep Baby in the corner, you don’t keep The Jaded Hearts in one either! They weren’t getting the competition that they wanted on the Showdown brand, so they came to Dynasty for that competition and that is exactly what they got!
(The tandem of Usagi Senshi and Saori Aizen and The Jaded Hearts look at the Unified Tag Team Championships hanging high in the air. Both teams begin to discuss strategy with each other.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND, RIGHT AWAY — USAGI SENSHI AND SAORI AIZEN TAKE IT RIGHT TO THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! USAGI HAS KASSIDY HEART TO THE CORNER! SAORI HAS SIENNA JADE TO THE OTHER CORNER, DIAGONALLY FROM THEM! THE TANDEM OF SAORI AND USAGI MANAGE TO WHIP THE JADED HEARTS ACROSS AS BOTH SIENNA AND KASSIDY BUMP INTO EACH OTHER! SAORI GETS SIENNA! USAGI GETS KASSIDY! BOTH THE DYNASTY WOMEN CONNECT WITH GERMAN SUPLEXES AS THEY SEND THE CHAMPIONS BACK!
Flannery McCoy: Saori Aizen and Usagi Senshi connect with running dropkicks to the corners that The Jaded Hearts are at! Usagi nails a dropkick to the face of Sienna Jade! Saori lands one on Kassidy Heart! Now, Usagi and Saori begin to stomp on their opponents at the corner! Now, this is a fantastic strategy to start things off! Go after them, before they go after you! The best thing to do is to make sure that The Jaded Hearts don’t proceed to dominate the opening moments of the match!
Jake Mercer: Usagi Senshi and Saori Aizen pick up Sienna Jade and Kassidy Heart before connecting with a series of shoot kicks to the ribs at the corner! The Unified Tag Team Champions are blocking themselves from these shots! But, Usagi manages to connect with a springboard rocket kick that knocks Sienna down! Then, she picks up Sienna and connects with an exploder suplex! Soon after, we see Saori manages to get herself on the shoulders of Kassidy before connecting with a poisonrana as she sends her right on top of Sienna!
Stew-O: Saori Aizen gets Kassidy Heart and throws her through the middle rope and out of the ring! This leaves Sienna Jade to fend for herself against Saori and Usagi Senshi! Saori and Usagi each get a piece bof Sienna before lifting her up and taking her back with a suplex! Sienna is clutching her lower back as she tries to find a way back to her feet, but Saori connects with a side kick as she takes one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions to a knee! Saori pulls Sienna closer to her before lifting her up and connecting with a michinoku driver!
(Meanwhile, it seems like Usagi Senshi has rolled out of the ring as she looks around to see which ladder that she wants to get her hands on. It seems like she’s gravitating towards the fifteen foot ladder on the right side of the announcer’s table.)
Flannery McCoy: Usagi Senshi has found the ladder that she wants to get her hands on! I think that she wants nothing more than to end this match quickly — KASSIDY HEART, FROM BEHIND, TAKES USAGI DOWN WITH A STEEL CHAIR SHOT TO THE SPINE OF THE CHALLENGER! THIS STOPS USAGI FROM DOING WHAT SHE WAS DOING! KASSIDY SWINGS UP THE STEEL CHAIR AGAIN BEFORE SLAMMING IT TO THE SPINE OF USAGI! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE KASSIDY LOOKS LIKE A DERANGED WOMAN WITH CHAIR SHOT AFTER CHAIR SHOT TO THE ‘STARBOY!’
Jake Mercer: But, Kassidy Heart turns to her side as Saori Aizen jumps from the apron and connects with an apron kick to the steel chair that nails Kassidy Heart right in the face! This causes her to fall to the side as Saori jumps from the apron and connects with a head scissors takedown as Kassidy is spiked on that steel chair that she introduced into this match! Saori goes to check on Usagi Senshi and helps her up to her feet!
Stew-O: BUT, SAORI AIZEN LOOKS TO HER SIDE AS SIENNA JADE TAKES HER DOWN WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! SIENNA DIVED THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE TO KNOCK THE ‘DEMON CHILD’ TO THE SIDE! THEN, SHE SEES USAGI SENSHI AS SHE PULLS THE CHALLENGER TO THE FRONT HEADLOCK! WE SEE SIENNA LIFTING HERSELF UP AS SHE WALKS ON THE EDGE OF THE APRON TO THE STEEL RING POST BEFORE TURNING HERSELF AROUND AND NAILING A TORNADO DDT ON USAGI! Then, Sienna sees Saori finding her way back to her feet before kicking Saori in the midsection before pulling her in a front headlock and nailing her with a snap DDT as Saori gets spiked on the top of her head!
(Sienna Jade goes over to look over at Kassidy Heart! The Unified Tag Team Champions look at each other, knowing exactly what they must do in order to retain the titles and that annihilate the competition.)
Flannery McCoy: The Jaded Hearts begin to pick up the ladder that Usagi Senshi wanted to introduce into the match! The two women lift up the ladder in a vertical position before they see Saori Aizen beginning to rise up to her feet! The Unified Tag Team Champions race and knock Saori in the skull with the ladder, knocking her down! They see that Usagi Senshi is looking to find themselves, but they spin the ladder around as the ladder collides with the side of Usagi’s head as that takes her down!
Jake Mercer: Now, the champions are beginning to strategize! They place the ladder down, but they lift one half of the ladder up, revealing the opening in between! Sienna begins to get Usagi Senshi and places her in between the ladder. She does the same thing with Saori Aizen! Now, what are the champions cooking up here? But, we are seeing Kassidy Heart with that same steel chair again! She holds it up high before slamming it against the ladder, where Saori Aizen and Usagi Senshi are underneath!
Stew-O: No! The challengers are holding the side rails up! They are prevented from having their skulls be smashed by that steel chair and the side rails! We see that Sienna Jade is trying to pry the ladder away from Saori Aizen and Usagi Senshi! But the two challengers are too much for Sienna! Sienna is trying to pull the ladder away from them! Now, it seems like Kassidy Heart is helping her partner out! The two teams are trying to pull the arms of the ladder away from them! But, it may be too overwhelming for them! One of them is going to need to let go!
Flannery McCoy: USAGI SENSHI AND SAORI AIZEN JUST KIPPED THEMSELVES TO THEIR FEET, HOLDING ONTO THE LADDER IN A HORIZONTAL POSITION! IN THE PROCESS, THEY KNOCK THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS TO THEIR BACK! :damn: The momentum of the kip up, provided the force needed to knock Kassidy Heart and Sienna Jade down! Now, it seems like it’s the tandem of Saori Aizen and Usagi Senshi who are looking to have some fun here! They get that ladder and drop it to the gut of the champions! We see Saori provide some alamzing height for herself as she jumps and connects with a double foot drop onto the ladder and the ribs of The Jaded Hearts! We see Usagi doing the same thing shortly after, for that added bonus!
Jake Mercer: Now, the challengers are looking towards the ceiling, where the Unified Tag Team Champions are hanging! This could be the right opening to go after the belts! We see that Usagi Senshi is going for another ladder! This ladder is to our left side and next to me! She slams the ladder shut before sliding it inside the ring! Usagi slides into the ring as Saori does the same thing shortly after. We see that Saori is holding the ladder down, making sure that it doesn’t lose balance! Then, we see Usagi looking up before she begins to climb the rungs of the ladder! We could be ending this match quite soon, Flann and Stew!
Stew-O: Not, if The Jaded Hearts can do anything about it! Sienna Jade goes right after Saori Aizen! Kassidy Heart gets Usagi Senshi by her shorts and yanks her down from the ladder! We see Kassidy looking to clothesline Usagi, but Usagi ducks the clothesline, runs the ropes, rebounds off of them and looks to connect with a dropkick to ‘The Mad King’ as she gets knocked over to the ladder! We see Usagi getting on top of Kassidy before attacking her with stiff left and right punches to the face of the champion! Saori goes right after Sienna before pulling her up and taking her back with an exploder suplex as Sienna goes crashing to the ladder!
Flannery McCoy: The Jaded Hearts may be in a bit trouble at the moment! The ladder is fallen to the side as it falls on top of the vertical set of ropes! We see that Usagi Senshi is trying to straighten the ladder up and make sure that it’s above the Unified Tag Team Championships! We see that Usagi is looking to climb up the ladder once more — but Kassidy Heart begins to scramble to her feet as she notices that Usagi is half way up the ladder! But, we see that Kassidy is high on her tail! Kassidy is not going to allow The Jaded Heart’s title reign to end right here!
Jake Mercer: She manages to pick up Usagi Senshi and place her on top of her shoulders! It seems like the regimen that the Chairman of the Board has been showing as she has Usagi sat on her shoulders! Usagi has a look panic written on her face as she begins to punch ‘The Mauler’ on top of her skull, but Kassidy Heart is not budging as —
Stew-O: KASSIDY HEART CONNECTS WITH A SIT-OUT RELEASE ELECTRIC CHAIR FACEBUSTER ON USAGI SENSHI! USAGI’S FACE EATS THE STEPS OF THE LADDER, IN THE PROCESS! USAGI IS SEEN HOLDING ONTO HER FACE AS WE SEE THAT SHE MAY BE BUSTED UP OPEN ON HER NOSE! The sight of blood is going to intrigue Kassidy Heart even more! She goes after Saori Aizen, who seems to be having the upper hand on Sienna Jade! Kassidy connects with a clothesline to the back of Saori’s head as that takes her down! Now, The Jaded Hearts begin to stomp on the body of the ‘Demon Child’ as Saori finds herself completely out numbered at the moment!
Flannery McCoy: Kassidy Heart took Usagi Senshi out of the equation for the time being. This provides The Jaded Hearts with the opportunity to wear down on Saori Aizen! They manage to do that and it will make climbing up the ladder and retrieving the titles a lot easier for them! Saori is on her stomach as Kassidy begins to pick up Saori and take her back with the suplex de la luna that she likes to call ’33!’
Jake Mercer: ’33’ on Saori Aizen as that takes her back! Sienna Jade gets Saori Aizen by her waist before taking her back with a northern lights suplex! That was a gorgeous execution! Kassidy Heart runs off the ropes and follows that with a ‘Painfully Ever After’ — the curb stomp as she drives Saori’s skull to the canvas! The Jaded Hearts look at their handy work as Kassidy points the ladder to Sienna, indicating that they should climb up the ladder and retrieve their titles! It seems like Sienna Jade had that same thought in her mind as she straightens the ladder that got knocked to the side and positions it underneath the Unified Tag Team Championships!
Stew-O: Sienna Jade looks up at the moment before she begins to climb up the ladder, rung by rung — Usagi Senshi begins to climb the other side of the ladder as Kassidy Heart looks to grab Usagi off that ladder, but Usagi manages to use one of her feet to back kick the face of the ‘The Mauler!’ Usagi manages to knock Kassidy back for the time being as she tries to cross over to Sienna’s side of the ladder! You can see the look of panic on the face of ‘The Greatest’ who does not like the fact that she’s not the only woman up on a ladder! SIENNA BEGINS TO THROW A FOREARM TO USAGI! USAGI THROWS A FOREARM TO SIENNA! SIENNA WITH A FOREARM TO USAGI! USAGI WITH A FOREARM TO SIENNA! THE TWO WOMEN BEGIN TO TRADE SHOTS AT EACH OTHER WHILE TEETERING OFF THE LADDER!
Flannery McCoy: Kassidy Heart manages to grab onto the left leg of Usagi Senshi as she looks to yank the challenger off the ladder! But, Usagi is looking to kick Kassidy away from her once more, BUT KASSIDY SEEMS TO HAVE A GRASP OF USAGI’S FOOT! IT’S CAUSING USAGI TO SHIFT HER FOCUS AWAY FROM SIENNA JADE TO KASSIDY HEART! WITH THAT OPENING, SIENNA MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A RIGHT HOOK THAT KNOCKS USAGI OFF THE LADDER INTO A SPRINGBOARD DOUBLE KNEE ARM BREAKER — ‘KING’S REQUIEM’ TAKES USAGI DOWN!
Jake Mercer: But, Saori Aizen looks to save the day by connecting with a sliding lariat as she manages to knock Kassidy Heart back! Saori begins to unload on the former Answers World Champion! But, make sure that you don’t ignore Sienna Jade! Sienna Jade jumps off the ladder and connects with a crossbody on Saori! Saori goes down — NO! SAORI ROLLS UP TO HER FEET AS SHE HAS SIENNA IN TOW! SHE HAS ‘THE GREATEST’ IN HER DISPOSAL AS SHE DROPS SIENNA ON HER STOMACH WITH A GIANT KNEE! SAORI GETS SIENNA UP BEFORE CONNECTING WITH FIVE KICKS TO THE CHEST AND LEGS OF SIENNA! THIS TAKES THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION TO HER KNEES BEFORE SAORI CONNECTS WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK AS THAT TAKES SIENNA TO HER BACK!
Stew-O: We see that Kassidy Heart turns Saori Aizen around as Kassidy looks to connect with the ‘Heart Stopper’ — which is Kassidy’s version of the heart punch, BUT SAORI MANAGES TO DUCK THE PUNCH BEFORE NAILING KASSIDY WITH A THROAT TRUST AS THAT TAKES THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION BACK TO THE ROPES! KASSIDY REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES, BUT SAORI MANAGES TO CATCH KASSIDY AND CONNECT WITH A PENDULUM BACKBREAKER AS KASSIDY CLUTCHES TO HER LOWER BACK IN PAIN! STILL, WE SEE THAT KASSIDY HAS THE STRENGTH TO GET HERSELF TO A CRAWLING POSITION! BUT, SAORI LOOKS TO SHUT THAT DOWN AND CONNECT WITH A SLEEPER SUPLEX AS KASSIDY LANDS RIGHT ON THE RIBS!
Flannery McCoy: Sienna Jade gets back up as she takes Saori Aizen back with superkick as the ‘Demon Child’ is taken back! THEN, WE SEE SIENNA GRAB SAORI BY HER WRIST BEFORE GOING FOR ‘WITCHES HAMMER’ — THE RIPCORD ROLLING LARIAT KNOCKS DOWN SAORI! SIENNA GETS SAORI AND THROWS HER THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND NEAR THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE RAMP ON THE OUTSIDE! SIENNA ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AS SHE GOES OVER TO ONE OF THE WOODEN TABLES! TABLES HAVE NOT BEEN INTRODUCED IN THIS ‘TABLES, LADDERS & CHAIRS’ MATCH YET, BUT SIENNA IS LOOKING TO MAKE THINGS A BIT INTERESTING HERE!
Jake Mercer: The table gets flipped horizontally and on its feet! Sienna Jade makes sure that the table is set up properly! Now, she places Saori Aizen on top of that table! But, Saori manages to slide off, not wanting any part of that table! I mean, can’t you blame her? I wouldn’t want part of that table! Nothing good happens to those who are on the receiving end of that table! But, Sienna connects with a couple of headbutts as she manages to keep Saori down before Sienna places her on top of the table! Now, it seems like she is climbing on the apron before getting on top of the turnbuckle! Oh god, what is Sienna looking to do here? :lupe:
Stew-O: SHE IS LOOKING TO DO ANYTHING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE JADED HEART KEEPS THOSE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS! SHE HAS HER BACK TURNED AGAINST SAORI AIZEN AS SHE LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH ‘STARSTRUCK’ TO THE OUTSIDE AND ONTO THAT TABLE WITH SAORI IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF THAT MESS! THIS MIGHT TAKE SAORI OUT OF THE EQUATION FOR GOOD, IF SIENNA MANAGES TO NAIL THIS NEXT MOVE!
Flannery McCoy: Stew, look! Saori Aizen manages to rise to her feet as she meets Sienna Jade up on that top turnbuckle! Sienna cannot believe it! She cannot believe what is happening right now! Saori continues to climb up as she tries to sit on the shoulders of the former Universal Women’s Champion! Sienna is looking to fight her way out of this situation, but Saori connects with some stiff punches to the back of Sienna’s neck before Saori sits on the shoulders of Sienna —
Jake Mercer: ***‘HEAVENLY PACT’ — THE AVALANCHE POISONRANA FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE TO THE OUTSIDE AS SIENNA JADE GOES CRASHING ONTO THE TABLE!!!!!! :damn: :damn: :damn: SIENNA IS SPIKED ON HER FACE AS SAORI AIZEN MAY HAVE TURNED THE TIDES OF THIS MATCH INTO HER SIDE’S FAVOR! CAN WE GET A REPLAY OF THAT??***
(REPLAY: A slow motion replay of Saori Aizen connecting with ‘Heavenly Pact’ from the top turnbuckle to the outside where Sienna Jade goes crashing onto the table that she had set up just a couple moments before. The moment when Sienna crashes onto the table, the speed of the replay goes at a normal place.)
(Back to ringside.)
Stew-O: I can’t believe what we just saw, Jake and Flannery! Saori Aizen going high risk for the sake of winning her first championship in Elite Answers Wrestling! Saori manages to find herself back to her feet, but look — KASSIDY HEART COMES FROM BEHIND SAORI AND PUSHES HER TO THE STEEL RING POST IN FRONT OF HER! YOU COULD HEAR THE CLANKING OF SAORI’S SKULL AS SHE FELL BACK! BUT, KASSIDY DOESN’T STAND TALL FOR LONG AS USAGI SENSHI LAUNCHES HERSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE THAT MANAGES TO PUSH KASSIDY HEART TO THE RAMP! USAGI KNOCKS KASSIDY TO HER BACK WITH A METEORA!
Flannery McCoy: Usagi Senshi begins to connect with punches to the face of Kassidy Heart before grabbing ‘The Mad King’ by her waist and taking her back with a high-angle German suplex! But, Usagi maintains control of Kassidy’s waist before connecting with another high-angle German suplex! Still, we see Usagi maintain control of the waist before connecting with a third consecutive high-angle German suplex! This time, she sends Kassidy back! Usagi calls this the ‘ACE-PLEX’ as Kassidy falls back higher on the ramp!
Jake Mercer: USAGI SENSHI SEES THAT KASSIDY HEART IS RISING BACK TO HER FEET BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION, HITTING THE CARTWHEEL AND LANDING A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB ON KASSIDY! ‘MOOD SWINGS’ WAS EXECUTED BEAUTIFULLY! KASSIDY LANDS ON HER SPINE AS USAGI SEEMS TO BE FIRING HERSELF UP! Usagi may be just moments away from securing her first championship in EAW! Disposing Kassidy Heart may have been her biggest chance of doing that! Usagi picks up Kassidy and it seems like she’ll be going for a brain buster —
Stew-O: BUT, SIENNA JADE RUNS AFTER USAGI SENSHI AND CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK AS THAT KNOCKS USAGI BACK, BUT CAUSES KASSIDY HEART TO CONNECT WITH A CROSSBODY ON THE ‘STARBOY!’ Sienna was taken out for the time being thanks to the ‘Heavenly Pact’ by Saori Aizen, but it seems like she’s back in this match to help out Kassidy and retain those Unified Tag Team Championships! Kassidy begins to get the legs of Usagi before applying the ‘XoXo Kass’ as Kassidy tries to get herself to a bridge to make it the ‘figure eight!’ Kassidy is pointing to the ladder on the side of the ramp and conveniently, it’s in the right position for them!
Flannery McCoy: We are seeing Sienna Jade approach that ten foot ladder on the side of the ramp before she positions it near where Kassidy Heart is applying ‘XoXo Kass’ on Usagi Senshi Sienna climbs up four steps before looking at Usagi’s exposed leg before jumping off and connecting with diving stomp to that exposed leg of Usagi’s! This causes Usagi to cry out in pain as she clutches onto her leg! That’s ‘Modern Renaissance, ’guys! The Jaded Hearts look more than happy about the pain they are causing Usagi Senshi!
Jake Mercer: Now, it seems like The Jaded Hearts are turning their attention towards Saori Aizen! Saori has been waiting for her perfect moment to strike after being thrown into the steel ring post! They begin to walk down the ramp as they look to take Saori out of the equation, just like they did on Usagi Senshi! But, Saori is looking to defeat The Jaded Hearts to the punch as she connects with a double sling blade as she takes the champions down! The Unified Tag Team Champions try to find their way back up to their feet as Saori rolls forward and connects with a capoeira kick to Sienna! And then, to Kassidy! Saori taking it to The Jaded Hearts!
Stew-O: Saori Aizen gets The Jaded Hearts by the left and right wrist! What is Saori looking to do here?
Flannery McCoy: SHE’S LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH THE ‘MIRROR FLOWER, WATER MOON’ — A WRIST-HOLD KNEE STRIKE TO THE JADED HEARTS! IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE??!!
Jake Mercer: It is! ‘Mirror Flower, Water Moon’ on The Jaded Hearts! Saori Aizen takes down both Sienna Jade and Kassidy Heart! It seems like this may be her shot here! She looks around ringside for a ladder as she gets one from the side of the ramp before she shuts it closed and slides it underneath the bottom rope. Shortly after, she slides back inside the ring before she places it straight below the Unified Tag Team Championships, but she looks at the ladder weirdly!
Stew-O: Saori Aizen approaches the other ladder that was introduced earlier into the match and lines it up below the other Unified Tag Team Championship hanging! It seems like that ladder might be taller than the one that Saori brought inside the ring.
Flannery McCoy: Some of these ladders are either fifteen or twenty-feet! Either can do the job, honestly. Either you go with the shorter one, which would mean a short trip to the top, but a bit of a struggle to reach for the titles, but you’ll get there or take the taller one, which will guarantee that you’ll manage to grab onto the title. Just the matter of what the person is feeling.
Jake Mercer: It seems like Saori Aizen is going for the shorter ladder, which is at fifteen feet. The climb will be shorter, but will she be able to grab onto those titles without a struggle? At least, The Jaded Hearts happen to be down! Saori did a great job of disposing of them just moments ago! Saori begins to climb the rungs of the ladder as she is mid-way up there — but looks from underneath! It’s Sienna Jade! Sienna makes it to the ring and looks to tilt the ladder to the side! She might manage to throw Saori out of the ring! Saori falls to the side!
Stew-O: NO! SAORI AIZEN MANAGES TO LAND ON HER FEET BEFORE THE LADDER COULD FALL TO THE SIDE! SAORI GOES RIGHT AFTER SIENNA JADE, BUT SIENNA DUCKS BEFORE PLACING SAORI IN A BACK-TO-BACK POSITION AND CONNECTS WITH A ‘CLAPBACK!’ THIS TAKES SAORI DOWN AS KASSIDY HEART ROLLS BACK INSIDE THE RING AND FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A CLUBBING BLOW TO THE BACK OF SAORI’S HEAD! THEN, SHE PICKS UP SAORI AIZEN BEFORE TAKING HER BACK WITH A STRAIGHTJACKET SUPLEX — ‘CHANEL N˚5’ TO THE CORNER! BUT, KASSIDY IS NOT LOOKING TO WASTE ANY TIME AS SHE CHARGES RIGHT AFTER SAORI AND CONNECTS WITH A ‘RAPTURE’ — THE HELLUVA KICK! SHADES OF HER HUSBAND, METHUSELAH, MR. DEDEDE, RYAN ADAMS, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD!
Flannery McCoy: This causes Saori Aizen to stumble forward as Sienna Jade takes her down with ‘Raw Sienna’ — the springboard dropkick that Sienna has used multiple times to win matches, but it won’t win this match, this time around! The Jaded Hearts are going to need to climb up the ladder and retrieve the briefcase, but it seems like Sienna has a better idea as she whispers into Kassidy’s ear!
Jake Mercer: That smirk from Kassidy Heart’s face is anyone’s worst nightmare as she seems to be more on board with what Sienna Jade has in mind! The two of them roll out of the ring through the bottom rope! I’m not sure what they’re planning to do, but this might be the closer, ladies and gentlemen!
(The Jaded Hearts slide a table underneath the bottom rope and inside the ring. The two of them take their sweet time setting up the legs of the table. Kassidy Heart tells Sienna Jade to hold on a moment before pulling something from out of the sides of her boot.)
Stew-O: A LIGHTER?
(Yes, Kassidy Heart pulls out an exclusive golden Christian Louis Vuitton designed lighter, shaped like a lipstick tube. You hold down the ‘stone’ part of the lighter and it opens, revealing a replica of the lipstick shade ‘Eton Moi’ and a blue flame being produced.)
Flannery McCoy: It seems like Kassidy Heart has ideas on expanding this level of punishment on Saori Aizen! I think that Sienna Jade is more than on board with this idea as Kassidy begins to light up the table, engulfing it in flames! Oh god, they aren’t thinking about putting Saori through that table, right? :lupe:
Jake Mercer: I thought it was obvious, Flannery! Saori Aizen may have found herself in a crawling position, but The Jaded Hearts get each side of Saori before hoisting her up and it looks like they’re going to powerbomb Saori through that flaming table!
Stew-O: NOT, IF USAGI SENSHI HAS ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT! SHE SLAMS A STEEL CHAIR TO THE SPINE OF SIENNA JADE AS THAT TAKES ‘THE GREATEST’ TO HER KNEES! THIS CAUSES THE JADED HEARTS TO RELEASE SAORI AIZEN AS USAGI TAKES THE CHAIR AND SMASHES IT AGAINST THE ABDOMEN OF KASSIDY HEART-
Flannery McCoy: NO! KASSIDY ALMOST INSTANTLY SNATCHES THE CHAIR FROM HER BEFORE TAKING IT AND SLAMMING IT AGAINST HER HEAD! THE ALREADY BLOODIED FACE OF USAGI SENSHI IS HIT AS SHE’S TAKEN DOWN TO THE GROUND! KASSIDY NOW TAKES THE CHAIR AND BEGINS TO SMASH IT AGAINST USAGI REPEATEDLY! OVER AND OVER AGAIN! CONTINUING TO BATTER HER WITH AUTHORITY!
Jake Mercer: MEANWHILE SIENNA HAS A HOLD OF SAORI AS SHE SCOOPS HER UP TO HER FEET! SHE THEN LIFTS HER OFF THE GROUND BEFORE LOOKING TO GO THROUGH WITH THE MOVE AGAIN- BUT SAORI IS ABLE TO RECOVER JUST ENOUGH THAT SHE CAN PUSH OFF OF SIENNA’S SHOULDERS AND LAND BEHIND HER! SHE SHOVES SIENNA INTO THE FLAMING TABLE! THANKFULLY SIENNA STOPS HERSELF, BUT THAT’S ENOUGH FOR SAORI TO TAKE HER AND SEND HER OUT OF THE RING!
Stew-O: USAGI IS STILL DOWN ON THE GROUND BUT SHE MANAGES TO ROLL AWAY FOR THE MOMENT WHILE KASSIDY TURNS HER ATTENTION TO SAORI! KASSIDY TAKES THE CHAIR AS SAORI TURNS AROUND AND SHE DRIVES IT INTO HER ABDOMEN! SHE THEN TAKES IT AND RAISES IT ABOVE HER HEAD-
Flannery McCoy: BUT USAGI SNATCHES THE CHAIR WHILE SHE DOES AND TRIES TO PULL IT AWAY FROM KASSIDY! KASSIDY IS TRYING TO TUG BACK AS SHE GOES THROUGH A TUG OF WAR! BUT THIS GIVES SAORI ENOUGH TIME TO CONNECT WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO TAKE KASSIDY DOWN TO THE GROUND! AND NOW SAORI AND USAGI HAVE A CHANCE!
Jake Mercer: Usagi Senshi has an option of ladders to decide from! But, it seems like she’s going for the ladder that was brought to the ring by Saori Aizen! She needs to make sure that she avoids the flaming table underneath! The Jaded Hearts had intentions of sending Saori Aizen through that table just a few moments ago, until they spotted Usagi with that ladder in their hands!
Stew-O: Usagi Senshi begins to climb up the ladder! Step-by-step, rung-by-rung, she does not look down as she continues to make her way up! She might do it for her and Saori Aizen, guys! Usagi is almost there! She makes it to the last rung as she begins to reach up for one of the Unified Tag Team Championships —
Flannery McCoy: BUT, LOOK UNDERNEATH, STEW! IT’S SIENNA JADE! SIENNA IS SHAKING THE LADDER AROUND, CAUSING USAGI SENSHI TO LOSE HER BALANCE! USAGI IS TRYING TO HOLD ONTO THE LADDER WITH HER LEGS, BUT SIENNA MANAGES TO PULL THE LADDER TOWARDS HER AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, AWAY FROM USAGI! USAGI IS HANGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE TO THAT UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP! IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S ALMOST HANGING BY A THREAD! TWENTY-FIVE FEET IN THE AIR, USAGI IS WONDERING, IF SHE SHOULD BITE THE BULLET AND UNHOOK THE TITLE OR —
Jake Mercer: Kassidy Heart is positioned onto the other ladder across from them! It seemed like she was positioning the ladder underneath the other Unified Tag Team Championship, but she sees that Usagi Senshi has her hand on one of the titles and she needs to do something about it! Kassidy cannot let The Jaded Heart’s title reign end on her watch as —
Stew-O: ***‘GO TO GAWD’ — ODE TO HER HUSBAND AND CHAIRMAN ON THE BOARD AS KASSIDY HEART CONNECTS WITH A SPEAR IN THE AIR! THE TWO WOMEN GO CRASHING DOWN TO THE WOODEN TABLE THAT WAS IGNITED IN FLAMES! :damn: :damn: :damn: :damn: OH MY GOD, THESE WOMEN ARE BROKEN IN HALF AS THEY FIND THEMSELVES ENGULFED IN FLAMES!!!!!***
(REPLAY: A slow motion of Kassidy Heart connecting with the ‘God to Gawd’ spear to Usagi Senshi from twenty-five feet in the air as both women go crashing down to the flaming table. We see a close up of some of the EAW fans, who are concerned, shocked and in awe.)
(Back to ringside.)
(We see a few of the referees beginning to put out the fire with the fire extinguisher. A bunch of smoke covers the entire ring. It takes a moment or two for the scene to finally settle as it reveals Usagi Senshi and Kassidy Heart within the rubble. Both of them are clearly unconscious as the referees are tending to both of these women. The camera begins to focus on the sole ladder that is set up in the middle of the ring, in perfect position below the Unified Tag Team Championships. Sienna Jade looks at Kassidy Heart with a look of shock and concern on her face. Saori Aizen goes over to check on Usagi Senshi.)
Flannery McCoy: And, it seems like Sienna Jade is going to use the opportunity presented to her to climb up that ladder and retrieve the Unified Tag Team Championships! But, Saori Aizen realized that Sienna was looking to pull a fast one as she began to climb up the opposite side of the ladder! Sienna and Saori are the only two women who remain standing in the match! Kassidy Heart took herself and Usagi Senshi out of the equation! The referees are busy, tending to those two women! Kassidy Heart with a nasty ‘Go to Gawd’ from mid-air! Twenty-five feet in the air! There is no coming back from that!
Jake Mercer: Sienna Jade makes it to the top of the ladder as she manages to get one of her hands to the Unified Tag Team Championship — NO! SAORI AIZEN MAKES IT TO THE TOP OF THE LADDER AS SHE MANAGES TO GET HER HANDS ON THAT SAME TITLE! SHE PULLS IT TO HER DIRECTION, BUT SIENNA SNATCHES THE TITLE AWAY FROM SAORI! SAORI LOOKS TO STOP PULLING THE TITLE AWAY FROM HER! SIENNA THROWS A FOREARM, HOPING TO KNOCK OVER SAORI FROM THE LADDER! BUT, SAORI MANAGES TO MAINTAIN HER BALANCE AS SHE THROWS A FOREARM TO SIENNA IN RETURN! SIENNA WITH A FOREARM! SAORI WITH A FOREARM! SIENNA WITH A FOREARM! SAORI WITH A FOREARM! SIENNA WITH A FOREARM! THESE TWO WOMEN ARE NOT BEING SOFT ON EACH OTHER! THEY ARE THROWING SOME STIFF PUNCHES AT ONE ANOTHER AS THEY LOOK TO GET THEIR HANDS ON ONE OF THE TITLES! BUT, THE OTHER ONE IS NOT ALLOWING THEM TO DO THAT WHATSOEVER!
Stew-O: SAORI AIZEN MANAGES TO PULL ONE OF SIENNA JADE’S ARMS THROUGH THE EMPTY RUNGS AND INTO HER POSSESSION! :damn: WE ARE SEEING SAORI APPLY AN ARM BAR! SHE DANGLES HERSELF UPSIDE DOWN, SO THAT SHE CAN EXECUTE THE ARM BAR! I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT WE’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW! THIS SHOULDN’T EVEN BE POSSIBLE AT THE MOMENT! SIENNA FINDS HERSELF IN SOME TROUBLE! KASSIDY HEART CAN’T SAVE HER! SHE HAS NO ONE TO RELY ON, BUT HERSELF! THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION IS SCREAMING OUT OF HER HEAD! I THINK THAT SHE CAN SENSE THE END OF HER TITLE REIGN HERE! THE PANIC ON SIENNA’S FACE AS SHE TRIES TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THIS SITUATION!
Flannery McCoy: But, Sienna Jade, somehow, manages to grab the ankle of Saori Aizen! Sienna, from that same arm that Saori is applying the submission in, manages to muster up enough strength to grab onto the ankle of the challenger before — SHE PULLS SAORI THROUGH THAT EMPTY RUNG AS SAORI’S LEGS ARE COMPLETELY TRAPPED WITHIN THE RUNGS! THE ENTIRE UPPER HALF OF SAORI’S BODY IS TRAPPED! SAORI’S LOWER BODY IS DANGLING DOWN AS SHE IS STRUGGLING TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THAT POSITION! WITH THAT, SIENNA’S ARM IS ABLE TO BE FREE! SIENNA IS CLUTCHING THAT ARM IN PAIN! IT SEEMS LIKE SAORI DID A NUMBER ON THAT ARM AS SIENNA BEGINS TO MAKE THE CLIMB UP THE LADDER ONCE MORE!
Jake Mercer: BRILLIANT BY ‘THE GREATEST,’ FLANN! WHAT MORE DO WE EXPECT FROM SIENNA JADE? SHE COMPLETELY HAS TRAPPED SAORI AIZEN AS SHE CONTINUES TO MAKE HER WAY UP THE LADDER! SIENNA HAS NOT LOOKED DOWN WHATSOEVER UNTIL SHE FINDS HER WAY ON THE TOP OF THE LADDER! IN THAT MOMENT, SHE LOOKS DOWN AT SAORI AIZEN, WHO CAN ALMOST FEEL HER HEART DROPPING AT SIENNA GETTING HER HANDS ON THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS BEHIND HER! SIENNA HAS A GOOD GRASP ON THE TITLES BEFORE YANKING THEM DOWN FROM THE HOOKS!

Stew-O: THIS MATCH IS OVER! THE JADED HEARTS RETAIN!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘True Love’ plays once more as the crowd has a mixed reception around The Sphere. Sienna Jade has both Unified Tag Team Championships on her shoulder as she rests on top of the ladder for a moment. Meanwhile, she looks down at Kassidy Heart, who was resting at the corner as Kassidy is more than elated that her queen managed to climb up the ladders and retain the titles for The Jaded Hearts.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNERS AND STILL EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS…THE JADED HEARTS!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: The Jaded Hearts did it! They managed to retain the Unified Tag Team Championships in this brutal Tables, Ladders and Chairs match! The entire last moments of the match left me completely shook!
Jake Mercer: When Kassidy Heart connected with ‘Go to Gawd’ off the ladder to Usagi Senshi as the two women went through that flaming table, I knew that it was going to be one of the moments that will be glued into your minds. I can’t get it out of my head, honestly. It could’ve gone either way, but in the end, Sienna Jade was able to expertly trap Saori and retrieve the tag championships for her team. She showed a lot of toughness as well, but then again, this is the Greatest we’re talking about.
Stew-O: Wonderful performance from Usagi Senshi, who nearly put her body on the line for those Unified Tag Team Championships! Someone who everyone will need to look out for this season because she is someone who will touch championship gold. Now, Saori Aizen? Excellent showing from this woman! The future is more than bright for this young woman! If this was her showing out in this opportunity, just imagine the matches we’ll be getting for her when she’s champion. :whew:
(Saori Aizen is checking on Usagi Senshi, who is regaining consciousness. Usagi has slowly come to terms that she fell short on another championship opportunity. She shakes her head and looks down in disappointment. Meanwhile, Saori feels frustrated that she couldn’t get herself out of the situation and prevent Sienna from walking away from those titles. She continues to check on Usagi with the medical personale.)
(The camera then goes to Sienna Jade, who helps Kassidy Heart up to her feet. Sienna hands Kassidy her Unified Tag Team Championship as the two women raise their titles high up in the air.)
Flannery McCoy: Who is going to stop them now, guys?
Jake Mercer: At this rate, no one will! Maybe, Voltage will have some luck with that whole Tag Team Turmoil Tournament that they have brewing up?
Stew-O: That’s something we’ll have to wait and see, but excellent title defense from The Jaded Hearts! Congratulations to them!
Flannery McCoy: WHAT IN THE HELL??
Jake Mercer: SAORI AIZEN GRABBED USAGI SENSHI BY HER THROAT AND CONNECTS WITH A THROAT TRUST! THAT SLAMMED USAGI TO THE EDGE OF THE APRON! USAGI CAN’T DEFEND HERSELF! SHE TOOK THAT NASTY ‘GO TO GAWD’ EARLIER IN THE MATCH BY KASSIDY HEART! SAORI BEGINS TO ATTACK USAGI WITH LEFT AND RIGHT PUNCHES TO THE FACE!
Stew-O: I thought that Saori Aizen did great in this match up! She shouldn’t be so hard on herself! I mean, I get that she’s frustrated, but this is just one of many opportunities for her! She gets Usagi and picks her up for a powerbomb! She connects with a nasty powerbomb on the apron! Usagi drops down as the referees are trying to get behind Usagi and talk some sense to Saori! But, it seems like Saori does not want to listen to anyone! She picks up Usagi once more!
Flannery McCoy: Saori Aizen picks her up in a powerbomb position once more before slamming her on the apron again! But, Usagi Senshi slides down off the apron She uses her arms to pick herself up, but Saori begins to back away as the referees are screaming at her, telling her to just leave the scene! But, Saori runs right after Usagi – ‘Raimei Hakke’ – her variation of the bicycle knee strike as it almost snaps Usagi’s head off her neck!
(The crowd is totally booing Saori Aizen. It seemed like Usagi Senshi had gotten some respect for her performance earlier in the match. The same thing with Saori Aizen until that particular moment, but Saori doesn’t think that she did anything wrong. The referees begin to back Saori away from the scene as the medical personnel tend to Usagi once more.)
Jake Mercer: I did not see any of this coming. Usagi Senshi decided to extend a hand to Saori Aizen, to help her out, when it comes to the dog-eat-dog mentality that had been brewing within the women’s division since the beginning of the season. But, it seems like Saori doesn’t need anyone’s help, especially Usagi’s.
(The final shots are of the medical personnel tending to Usagi Senshi, who is slowly regaining consciousness once more. Then, Saori Aizen, who is standing tall, looking at the horizon, as she sends a message to the entire locker room, that she should not be messed with.)
(A commercial is shown for Call of Duty: Warzone, featuring the new EAW collab with a TLA skin in the shop.)
(The broadcast would fade to ringside, as the camera picks up a cage surrounding the ring, a platform on top of it… the Fight Pit. Moments later, the next match graphic began to appear.)
(https://i.imgur.com/ngHwtlH.png)
(‘Lacrimosa – Epic Version’ by Samuel Kim began to blare through the speaker system, and immediately, the crowd burst into a fit of cheers. The camera would pan from the fight pit over to the stage, as none other than the challenger, ‘The Resolute’, Vincent Mondrian stepped out into the Las Vegas Sphere. Fitted in a fluffy jacket, his wrists taped up for this bout, he stood atop the stage, staring down at the Fight Pit, and doing so stoically. Not a man to feel fear even in the most dangerous of scenarios; he knows that it’s going to take the absolute most out of him, Fight Pit or not, in order to become New Breed Champion. Adding the Fight Pit, in his eyes, perhaps lends to his skill set well. He wouldn’t have it any other way. He would pose atop the stage, before making his way down.)
Stephie Love: The following context… IS A FIGHT PIT MATCH for the EAW NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP!!! The rules are as follows; two competitors will enter the Fight Pit, with no escape allowed. The only means of victory are by knockout, or submission! Introducing first… hailing from Laren, Netherlands… weighing in at 205 pounds… THE CHALLENGER… VINCENTTTTT MOOOOOOONDRIAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!!!!
(Vincent would approach The Fight Pit, as the door was already open. His eyes scanned the structure, the chainlink stopping either man from exiting the structure, and the platform being extended and having a barricade to stop them from climbing over it. He knows that he’d be locked in with the Champion, and stepped in willingly! He would enter the ring, posing in the center, as his theme song then began to fade out… moments later, it would be replaced by ‘Duel of The Fates V2’ by Samuel Kim, and the crowd reaction took a complete 180. Boos would rain down throughout the Las Vegas Sphere, as the camera spun away from Vincent, focusing back on the stage. The Champion would step out through the curtains, his head hanging low, a jacket over his shoulders, and the New Breed Championship wrapped around his waist, glimmering in the spotlight, as he made his way forward. BRAE would pose atop the stage, removing the Championship from his waist as he does so, swinging by his side as he made his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing THE CHAMPION! Hailing from Novosibirsk, Russia… weighing in at 215 pounds… HE IS THE NEW BREED CHAMPION… ‘LORD’ BRAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
(BRAE wouldn’t take even a second to scan the Fight Pit, immediately, he began to step up the steel steps, entering the ring through the door. Behind him, it would be locked shut. Vincent would take note of this, but BRAE didn’t. BRAE would instead face the hardcam, raising his Championship up high, as his theme began to fade out. The referee would take his jacket and his title, handing it to the ring crew, as the two made it to their corners…)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And HERE! WE! GO! The Fight Pit is back, for the first time in two years, as BRAE defends his New Breed Championship against Vincent Mondrian; many competitors have made a name for themselves in this very stipulation! Some of the best of the best have fought under these rules; Limmy Monaghan, Adam Lucas, Chris Elite, Dr. Bethany Blue, and tonight, BRAE and Vincent Mondrian will punch their names alongside them. But the main question is… which one of them is going to walk out of Reckless Wiring with the New Breed Championship over their shoulder?
Jake Mercer: In my eyes, the stipulation really leans in Vincent’s favour! I mean, as the rules go; you can only come out with a victory via SUBMISSION or KNOCKOUT. BRAE is one of the hardest hitting Elitists in the New Breed Division, but if there’s any Elitist that has both knockout power and technical wizardry? It’s Vincent. BRAE overcame the titan in Michael Machina, but tonight, he has a completely new challenge in of itself. Being a Champion is all about overcoming each hurdle, but I’m not sure BRAE is prepared for THIS hurdle! This one… is something different.
Flannery McCoy: I don’t know, Jake, while you’re definitely right in saying that Vincent has the edge over BRAE with his submissions, and thus may have more means to an end than BRAE; there isn’t anybody that is more absurdly physical than BRAE is. Often times his intensity can lead to his downfall, but this match is inherently suited for that physicality! The two are locked in a pit with one another, and if there’s anything BRAE is known for, it’s pushing his body far beyond his own physical capabilities. I don’t think it’s as simple as you put it, Jake…
Stew-O: I guess we’re going to find out right now, guys, as the two charge towards one another! BRAE immediately pumps his arm forward, throwing a lariat at Vincent!
Jake Mercer: But Vincent ducks! The Dutchman slides underneath The Russian’s lariat, popping back up, and IMMEDIATELY applying a Sleeper Hold!
Flannery McCoy: But BRAE had it scouted! As Vincent slides the inside of his elbow around BRAE’s throat; BRAE grabs Vincent’s right arm, right before it grabs onto the dome of his head, and connects with an arm drag dropping Vincent to the ground! Followed up by…
Jake Mercer: Belly-to-Belly Suplex!
Stew-O: Countered! Vincent with an Arm Drag of his own; immediately transitioning into a Cross Armbar!
Flannery McCoy: Denied! BRAE locks his own fingers, and rolls on top of Vincent! If this were any other match, BRAE may have kept Vincent down for the roll up, but instead…
Stew-O: BRAE begins to deadlift Vincent off the ground! He lifts him up into the powerbomb position-
Flannery McCoy: However, Vincent starts to rain down sharp elbows onto the top of BRAE’s head! Notice how none of those elbows are rapid, though! They’re precise, and sharp; Vincent focusing on precision over peppering BRAE with them! This is accuracy over quantity-
Jake Mercer: But against a man like BRAE, NEITHER one is going to matter much! He could be peppering him, he could be going for precision; BRAE is POWERING through it, as he looks to powerbomb Vincent into the cage!
Flannery McCoy: NO! Vincent counters with a Hurricanrana, sending BRAE face-first into the steel!
Stew-O: But the two of them have each other scouted! BRAE places a boot into the cage to stop his momentum, as he turns around looking to capitalise on Vincent recovering back to his feet-
Jake Mercer: But Vincent notices this, and connects with a forearm strike to catch BRAE off guard! BRAE is stunned, with Vincent now looking to capitalise! Vincent locks his opponent’s arms behind his back, and grabs BRAE by the back of his head…
Stew-O: CHARGING FORWARD AND SLAMMING BRAE FACE-FIRST INTO THE CAGE! BRAE CRUMPLES TO THE GROUND!
Flannery McCoy: Vincent looks to continue the assault-
Jake Mercer: Here comes the referee though! Keep in mind what the rules are, submission or knockout; the referee is checking on BRAE!
Crowd: :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: The match has JUST started, and Vincent may have just put an end to it. Despite Vincent being the fan favourite? There’s an uneasy silence about The Sphere right now…
(The referee kneels down to check on BRAE, however BRAE grabs onto the referee’s shirt and shakes his head…)
(…)
(…Leaving a stain of his own blood on the referee’s white shirt.)
Flannery McCoy: Oh my God is his…
Jake Mercer: BRAE’s nose may have just been broken.
Stew-O: And there’s a perturbing grin on Vincent’s face right now. It’s clear to me he’s got an idea!
Flannery McCoy: Vincent grabs the referee by the collar of his shirt before tossing him halfway across the ring! Vincent is looking to open up his gates to New Breed glory right now! He kneels down atop BRAE, who is trying to fight back, throwing punches up at Vincent, however, Vincent grabs his arms and kneels on them! This isn’t going to be good…
Stew-O: Oh my God, Vincent grabs onto BRAE’s nose…
Jake Mercer: TWISTING IT AS HARD AS HE CAN! IF IT WASN’T BROKEN BEFORE, IT SURE IS NOW!
Stew-O: AND VINCENT ISN’T DONE! HE HOLDS ONTO HIS NOSE, AND CONTINUES TO BEND IT BACK AND FORTH! BRAE IS SHRILLING IN PAIN, AS BRAE CONTINUES TO DEAL MORE DAMAGE TO ONE OF BRAE’S OXYGEN SUPPLIES! VINCENT PUSHES HIS PALM DOWN INTO BRAE’S TEMPLE, AS HE ATTEMPTS TO MAKE HIM QUIT HERE!
Flannery McCoy: THE REFEREE IS BACK OVER, NOW ASKING IF BRAE GIVES UP! COULD THIS BE VINCENT MONDRIAN’S NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP CROWNING MOMENT?
Stew-O: VINCENT IS PRETTY MUCH TRYING TO REMOVE BRAE’S NOSE IN THE MOST ANIMALISTIC WAY POSSIBLE, BRAE MIGHT BE FORCED TO SUBMIT HERE, BEFORE THE DAMAGE GETS TOO BAD! BLOOD POURS OUT OF HIS NOSE, BOTH FROM A CUT ACROSS THE BRIDGE, AND ALSO THROUGH THE NOSTRILS! THE BLOOD IS ABSOLUTELY COVERING BRAE’S FACE!
Jake Mercer:…BUT HE USES THAT TO HIS ADVANTAGE! HE USES THE BLOOD TO SLIDE HIS NOSE OUT OF VINCENT’S GRIP, BEFORE IMMEDIATELY PLACING HIM IN A GUILLOTINE CHOKE!!! THE ROLES ARE NOW REVERSED HERE!
Stew-O: BUT NOT FOR LONG! VINCENT BRIDGES OVER, BEFORE TWISTING HIS BODY OUT OF THE GUILLOTINE! HE ESCAPES IT VERY QUICKLY, BEFORE LEAPING, LOOKING TO STOMP ON BRAE’S NOSE!
Jake Mercer: BUT BRAE SLIDES OUT OF THE WAY, QUICKLY RETURNING BACK TO HIS FEET! HE MAY BE COATED IN BLOOD, BUT HE’S FIGHTING THROUGH IT! BRAE RUSHES FORWARD, DUCKS UNDERNEATH A BACK ELBOW, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HUGE CHOP TO VINCENT’S CHEST! A KNIFE EDGE CHOP ACROSS HIS OPPONENT’S MEATY CHEST!
Flannery McCoy: THEY WERE TRYING TO AIM FOR A SUBMISSION EARLIER, BUT NOW? WE’RE BACK TO THAT MEAT BUMPING! BRAE CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER CHOP, AND VINCENT BEGINS TO STUMBLE BACKWARDS! VINCENT IS LINED UP AGAINST THE CAGE, AS BRAE BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH MACHINE GUN CHOPS!!!
Jake Mercer: BRAE IS LIGHTING UP VINCENT’S CHEST, IF VINCENT WAS FOCUSING ON PRECISION EARLIER, BRAE IS ABSOLUTELY PUNISHING THIS MAN WITH BRUTAL STRIKES TO THE CHEST! THE AUDIENCE IN ATTENDANCE’S “BOOS” HAVE QUICKLY TURNED INTO “OOOS” AS EVEN BRAE’S HATERS CAN’T HELP HELP BUT WINCE AT THIS!
Stew-O: AND THERE’S NO SURPRISE AT THAT; LOOK AT VINCENT’S CHEST! IT’S STARTING TO TURN PURPLE, AND BRAE HAS ALREADY MADE SOME LACERATIONS ACROSS HIS LEFT PECTORAL MUSCLE! BLOOD IS STARTING TO SURROUND THE HANDPRINTS HE’S LEAVING, AND SOMEHOW… **SOMEHOW** HE HASN’T SLOWED DOWN ONE BIT!
Flannery McCoy: THOSE MACHINE GUN CHOPS IN ANY OTHER HANDS ARE SOME OF THE MORE CRITICISED CHOPS IN THE WRESTLING BUSINESS DUE TO HOW FAST THESE COMPETITORS SLOW DOWN, HOWEVER BRAE? HE HASN’T ONE BIT! FROM BEGINNING TO END, THEY PACKED A PUNCH, AND NOW HE’S STARTING TO MOVE ON!
Jake Mercer: BRAE NOW BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH HUGE EUROPEAN UPPERCUTS TO THE JAW! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE WHOLE UPPERCUTS STRAIGHT TO VINCENT’S JAW!
Flannery McCoy:…JUST FIVE, JAKE? :skip:
Stew-O: SIX!
Jake Mercer: SEVEN!
Flannery McCoy: EIGHT!
Stew-O: NINE!
Jake Mercer: TE-
Flannery McCoy:…
Stew-O: NO! VINCENT DROPS DOWN TO HIS KNEES…
Flannery McCoy: AS HIS BODY **GAVE OUT**!
(The referee grabs onto BRAE’s shoulders and brushes past him, as he kneels down, looking to make sure if Vincent is KO’d…)
(But BRAE grabs the referee, and throws him to the ground.)
Stew-O: CHRIST, BRAE! SLOW DOWN, LET THE REFEREE DO HIS JOB! YOU DON’T NEED TO DO MORE THAN THAT!
Jake Mercer: BRAE FEELS AS IF WHAT HE DID WASN’T ENOUGH, PERHAPS TO WIN THIS, HE NEEDS MORE! BRAE STARTS TO STOMP DOWN ON THE BACK OF VINCENT’S HEAD, WHILE HOLDING ONTO THE CAGE! THE BLOOD CONTINUES TO TRICKLE FROM HIS NOSE, SERVING NOT AS A RED FLAG TO STOP; BUT A GREEN LIGHT TO CONTINUE! BRAE’S EYES TELL THE STORY – “THIS IS WHAT YOU DID TO ME!” BRAE IS SIMPLY RETURNING THE FAVOUR!
(However, this time; the referee FINALLY is able to pull BRAE out of the way! He kneels down, and begins to check on Vincent, as BRAE stumbles back to the centre of the ring.)
Jake Mercer: Finally, BRAE’s assault is broken up! The referee needs to get a hold on this match, while there are no disqualifications, and anything goes, if a competitor is unable to continue fighting, the referee HAS to stop it!
(The referee kneels down, checking on Vincent… however…)
(Vincent grabs onto the referee’s arm, and uses his shirt to pull himself back up. He looks towards BRAE, and extends his arm…)
(He signals for more.)
Jake Mercer: I’m not sure if this is the right idea, Vincent! BRAE charges forward, and IMMEDIATELY clips Vincent on the chin with a knee strike!
Stew-O: Vincent Mondrian drops down to a seated base as his head smashes against the cage! BRAE drops down, and grabs him by the face, holding his jaw in between his thumb and his fingers, as he applies pressure to his head against the steel!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE pulls Vincent away from the steel, before throwing him into the middle of the ring! What does he have planned here???
Jake Mercer: There may not be any ropes, Flannery, but I already know what his plan is! He grabs Vincent by the throat, hooking his forearm around it… BEFORE SLAMMING HIS KNUCKLES STRAIGHT INTO THE ALREADY-PURPLE CHEST! THE 10 BEATS OF BRAE; AS THE CROWD UNWILLINGLY COUNTS ON!
Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE!
Crowd: TEN-
Jake Mercer: NO! NOT TEN!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE… STOPS THE COUNT, HOLDING UP ONE FINGER!
Stew-O: ONLY HE’S NOT ASKING FOR ACKNOWLEDGMENT; HE’S SHAKING HIS FINGER! HE’S TELLING THE CROWD “NO”…
Jake Mercer: AS HE BEGINS TO CONTINUE THE TEN BEATS; ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING, HE CLEARLY HASN’T A CARE WHAT NUMBER HE REACHES! SLAMMING HIS FIST DOWN INTO HIS OPPONENT OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER! THERE’S NOT A THING VINCENT CAN DO! HE’S GROGGY, AND BEING COMPLETELY PUNISHED!
Stew-O: I CAN’T TELL IF WE’RE AT TWENTY OR THIRTY BY NOW, BUT DOES IT REALLY MATTER?? AT THIS POINT, I DON’T THINK VINCENT CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE, I DON’T THINK TWENTY IS ANY LESS PAINFUL THAN THIRTY! BRAE IS JUST BRUTALIZING VINCENT, SHOWING JUST HOW MORE PHYSICAL HE IS! SHOWING EXACTLY WHY HE’S THE **CHAMPION**!!
Flannery McCoy: Finally; BRAE lets go! Vincent slumps down at BRAE’s feet, as he holds onto his chest, wincing in pain! It’s become abundantly clear, BRAE is in his element in this matchup, and he hasn’t even used the surrounding cage! BRAE looks down at his opponent that has just fallen into a pile; and he wipes the blood off of his nose!
(BRAE looks at the pool of blood in the palm of his hand, before looking down at Vincent. He kneels down, grabbing him by the jaw, before he slides his hand across Vincent’s face, painting him with his blood. He stands back up, and looks directly at his blood on Vincent’s face. His bullseye.)
Flannery McCoy: Oh… oh God… BRAE PULLS HIS ARM BACK… ‘RED DEATH’!!!!!!!! FOREARM STRAIGHT TO THE SKULL!
Jake Mercer: TRIANGLE CHOKE!!!! VINCENT MOVES HIS HEAD AND WRAPS HIS LEGS AROUND BRAE!!! THE TRIANGLE CHOKE!!!! BRAE HAS BEEN BREATHING THROUGH HIS MOUTH FOR THE PAST HOWEVER MANY MINUTES, THIS IS A PERFECT SUBMISSION TO TRY AND TAKE BRAE OUT!!!
Stew-O: BRAE IS SCRATCHING AND CLAWING, TRYING HIS HARDEST TO ESCAPE THIS SUBMISSION HOLD, BUT IT’S NO USE!! VINCENT HAS IT IN TIGHT, USING ALL OF HIS STRENGTH FOR THIS ONE HOLD! HE’S TRYING TO FORCE THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP OUT OF BRAE’S HANDS! BLOOD BEGINS TO DRIP ALL OVER THE TWO OF THEM, AND BRAE IS SEEMINGLY GETTING WEAKER AND WEAKER! COULD THIS BE IT??? COULD THIS BE THE END OF THE BOUT??
Jake Mercer: SEEMINGLY IT MAY BE; AS VINCENT TRANSITIONS OUT OF THE TRIANGLE CHOKE, STRAIGHT INTO THE ‘MONDRIAN LOCK’!!! THE ARM-TRAPPED CROSSFACE; APPLYING HIS FINISHING MANOEUVRE! BRAE HAS NOWHERE TO GO, NO ROPE BREAKS, NOTHING! THERE’S NO WAY HE CAN GET OUT OF THIS, SURELY!!!
Flannery McCoy: HE’S SURE AS HELL TRYING, BUT TRYING ISN’T DOING! YOU CAN’T RETAIN A CHAMPIONSHIP BY JUST “TRYING.” YOU CAN’T ESCAPE A HOLD LIKE THIS BY JUST “TRYING.” BRAE IS DIGGING HIS NAILS INTO THE RING MAT, NO MATTER HOW BAD IT’S GETTING, HE’S NOT GIVING UP, HE’S NOT LETTING THIS HOLD TAKE HIM OUT! HIS TEETH ARE GRITTED TOGETHER, AS HE USES HIS ONE FREE ARM YO CRAWL TOWARDS THE CAGE! THERE ARE NO ROPES; WHAT ON EARTH IS BRAE GONNA DO TO ESCAPE THIS HOLD???
Stew-O: THE MONDRIAN LOCK IS THE TOUGHEST SUBMISSION IN HIS ARSENAL, I’M NOT SURE HOW BRAE IS GONNA ESCAPE! I’M NOT SURE HE EVEN CAN! HE’S IN A STICKY SITUATION HERE, AND HE’S CLINGING ONTO LIFE! IF THERE’S ONE THING THAT BRAE ISN’T DOING, IT’S FADING! VINCENT’S HANDS ARE CLUTCHED AGAINST BRAE’S NOSE, FORCING MORE AND MORE BLOOD TO COME OUT, PRACTICALLY BLOOD LETTING IN THIS MATCH – HOWEVER BRAE IS CLINGING TO LIFE! THE CROWD IS EGGING VINCENT ON, TRULY BELIEVING THAT THIS COULD BE HIS CROWNING MOMENT, HOPING THAT BRAE IS HAVING HIS FINAL SYMPHONY HERE TONIGHT!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT BRAE REACHES THE CAGE! HIS FINGERS LOCK IN BETWEEN THE HOLES, AS HE NOW HAS A TINY BIT OF HOPE! HE GETS HIS KNEES UNDER HIMSELF, AS HE LOOKS TO SCALE THE CAGE TO ESCAPE VINCENT’S GRASP!!!
Stew-O: HE’S PULLING HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET, AND VINCENT IS FORCED TO LET GO-
Jake Mercer: BUT A GERMAN SUPLEX FROM VINCENT, AND BRAE LANDS ON THE DOME OF HIS HEAD! THE WHIPLASH FROM THE LANDING IMMEDIATELY FORCES HIM TO BOUNCE ONTO HIS STOMACH, AS VINCENT MONDRIAN IMMEDIATELY CHASES AFTER…
Flannery McCoy: ‘MONDRIAN LOCK’ AGAIN!!! HE PULLS BRAE BACK INTO HIS FINISHING HOLD! THIS COULD ALL BE OVER FOR BRAE!! WE HAVE A BRAND NEW CHAMPION AND HIS NAME IS VINCENT MONDRIAN!
Stew-O: NO! BRAE DUCKS UNDERNEATH VINCENT’S ARM, AND PULLS HIMSELF TO HIS FEET! ‘RED DEATH’!!! RED DEATH TO THE BACK OF VINCENT’S HEAD!
Crowd:…
Flannery McCoy:…
Jake Mercer: HOWEVER…
Stew-O: IT WAS JUST AN ADRENALINE BOOST! THE LOSS OF BLOOD FINALLY GETS TO BRAE, AND THE **BOTH** OF THEM ARE OUT COLD ON THE MAT!!!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE IS SPRAWLED OUT ON TOP OF VINCENT, AND NEITHER OF THEM WERE MOVING! I’M NOT SURE HOW BRAE WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO HIS FEET, BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS; WHILE HE ESCAPED THAT SUBMISSION, AND WAS EVEN ABLE TO BUST OUT THE BIGGEST MOVE IN HIS ARSENAL, THE BLOOD POURING FROM HIS BROKEN NOSE WAS ENOUGH TO TAKE HIM OUT COMPLETELY!!!
Jake Mercer: The referee has slid over, and he’s now checking on both competitors! It looks as if they’re both awake, even if dazed, however I wouldn’t be surprised if the two had been completely knocked out! Hell, even if they were; how would we decide a winner? The referee may have to continue letting them fight regardless!
(As BRAE and Vincent remain on the ground, the broadcast pans to a replay; we see BRAE land on the top of his head following that german suplex, and unintentionally, he rolls into a near-kneeling base, with his head still down. As Vincent slides down and attempts to lock in the crossface, a groggy BRAE pulls himself up at the last second, having already been doing so beforehand, and while Vincent was still down, dropping into a ‘Red Death’ H-Bomb. It was seemingly all animalistic instinct, or if it was intentional; it was all BRAE had left in his body. The replay would then fade out, as we return to the action of the match; BRAE and Vincent sat at opposite ends of the ring, leaned up against the cage.)
Jake Mercer: I genuinely have no idea how BRAE was able to survive, and hell, I’m not sure how VINCENT was able to survive! But at the end of the day, this match continues!
(BRAE would wipe the little bit of blood from his face, the rest already having dried up, as Vincent shook his head, forcing himself to have his wits about him. He would look towards BRAE, the two sharing a glance… before their eyes pan up, at the platform above the Fight Pit…)
(They looked back at one another. The two had the same idea.)
Jake Mercer: Oh but wait a minute here, the action isn’t done yet! BRAE and Vincent would both return to their feet, before… BEFORE SCALING THE CAGE! They begin to climb the fight pit! I’m not sure what they have in mind at the top of that platform, but I’m absolutely certain that it’s NOT going to be pretty whatsoever!
Flannery McCoy: It’s not going to be pretty, absolutely not. These two are NOT the Elitists you want to see at the top of a structure like this! Even if you’re a sicko looking for violence; this isn’t going to end well!
Jake Mercer: Well guess what, Flannery?
Flannery McCoy:…What?
Jake Mercer: THIS IS EAW!!! FOR THE SICKOS!!! YEAHHHHHHHH!!
Flannery McCoy: 🙂 👍
(BRAE and Vincent would crawl up to the top of the Fight Pit, using the metal barricade to help themselves up to their feet, before turning to face one another. The two take a deep breath, before turning their bodies…)
Stew-O: AND THEY CHARGE TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER! THEY TURN TO THE SAME SIDE OF THE PLATFORM, RUNNING FULL SPRINT TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER…
Jake Mercer: VINCENT PULLS HIS ARM BACK FOR A FOREARM STRIKE!
Stew-O: BUT A **HUGE** LARIAT TAKES HIS HEAD OFF! A CLOUD OF SWEAT AND BLOOD QUITE LITERALLY SPRAYING INTO THE AIR, AS BRAE RE-OPENS THE CUT ON VINCENT’S CHEST! HE TOOK HIS HEAD OFF OF HIS SHOULDERS WITH THAT LARIAT, AND I’M NOT SURE WHAT HE’S GOING TO FOLLOW THIS UP WITH; BUT IT’S NOT GOING TO BE GOOD!
Jake Mercer: BRAE GRABS ONTO VINCENT BY HIS HAIR AND LIFTS HIM TO HIS FEET, BEFORE SENDING HIS HEAD THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE BARRICADE! HE GRABS HIS HEAD, AND PULLS HIM UP… OH GOD… I KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS…
Stew-O: 10 BEATS OF BRAE!!! HE BENDS VINCENT’S BACK OVER THE TOP METAL BAR, BEFORE HAMMERING DOWN STRIKES! ONCE MORE; THE CROWD RELUCTANTLY COUNTS ALONG!
Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE!
Crowd: TEN!!!!!
Stew-O: This time; BRAE doesn’t have it IN HIM to continue doing more than ten, as he lets go of Vincent’s body, slumping him down, dropping him on the platform! BRAE stumbles back, taking a breather, as Vincent’s chest is completely purple; you’d think someone-
Jake Mercer: Bro spilled a grimace shake on his chest. 💀
Stew-O: https://media1.tenor.com/m/aLMC3XzcrOoAAAAC/jerma-stare.gif
Flannery McCoy: BRAE finishes up his breather, moving over to Vincent and grabbing him by the hair! Vincent ATTEMPTS to fight back, slinging punches to BRAE’s gut, but it’s absolutely no use! It affects BRAE slightly, but ultimately, it’s not going to matter! BRAE lifts Vincent up… OH MY GOD! NO! NO!
Jake Mercer: HE’S PLANNING ON HITTING HIM WITH A POWERBOMB INTO THE RING! NO! NO! THAT’LL END THE MATCH, BUT THAT MIGHT END HIS LIFE! THERE’S NO WAY BRAE IS GONNA DO THAT!!! SURELY NOT!
Flannery McCoy: VINCENT IS THROWING ELBOWS INTO BRAE’S HEAD, BUT THEY’RE WEAKER THAN HE’D HOPE! I’M NOT SURE HE CAN EVEN GET THE POINT OF HIS ELBOW TO DIG INTO THE TOP OF BRAE’S HEAD, HE’S JUST SLAMMING HIS ARM DOWN AND HOPING IT’S GOING TO HELP! BUT IT’S NOT! BRAE TURNS VINCENT AROUND TO FACE THE RING!!!
Jake Mercer: NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOO-
Flannery McCoy: DENIED! BEFORE BRAE CAN POWERBOMB HIM INTO THE RING, VINCENT APPLIES A STANDING TRIANGLE CHOKE! BRAE FALLS BACKWARDS AS THE TWO REMAIN ON THE PLATFORM, STILL HIGH ABOVE THE RING, BUT IN A SAFE POSITION! HE’S LOOKING TO CHOKE BRAE OUT HERE, AND WIN THIS MATCH UP AT THE TOP!
Stew-O: BUT BRAE ISN’T PASSING OUT JUST YET! HE USES ALL OF THE STRENGTH LEFT IN HIS BODY TO PULL HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET… BEFORE POWERBOMBING VINCENT INTO THE FLOOR!
Jake Mercer: VINCENT STILL HANGS ONTO THE TRIANGLE CHOKE UP ON THAT PLATFORM THOUGH! BRAE IS STILL FIGHTING TO GET OUT OF THAT SUBMISSION ATTEMPT! BRAE IS STILL FIGHTING HIS HARDEST TO ESCAPE WHAT COULD BE POTENTIAL DEATH FOR HIS CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN UP THERE!!! HE’S SCRATCHING, CLAWING, USING ANYTHING HE CAN TO TRY AND SAVE THIS CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN…
Stew-O: AND ONE MORE TIME… HE STARTS TO LIFT VINCENT MONDRIAN INTO THE AIR! HE LIFTS HIM UP, BEFORE SLAMMING HIM BACK DOWN INTO THE GROUND WITH A THUNDEROUS POWERBOMB! YOU CAN LITERALLY SEE THE WHIPLASH EFFECT ON VINCENT’S BODY AS HE’S SLAMMED DOWN ONTO HIS NECK, BUT SOMEHOW, THAT HOLD ISN’T LETTING GO!
Jake Mercer: HE’S NOT GONNA GIVE! HE’S NOT GONNA BUDGE! THERE’S NO WAY THAT VINCENT IS GONNA GIVE UP, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT VINCENT IS GOING TO LET THIS HOLD GO WHEN IT COULD BE THE VERY HOLD THAT AWARDS HIM THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP! HE ISN’T GOING TO LET THIS OPPORTUNITY PASS HIM BY, IT’S GOING TO BE 100 OR NOTHING! VINCENT HANGS ONTO THE TRIANGLE, GIVING IT EVERYTHING HE HAS, AS BRAE BEGINS TO FADE! YOU CAN SEE IT IN HIS EYES, YOU CAN SEE THAT HE’S ALMOST DONE! AND I’M SURE HE NOTICES IT TOO!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE CAN DEFINITELY FEEL HIMSELF FADING, HE KNOWS THAT HE HAS JUST ONE CHANCE AT THIS, OTHERWISE, IT’S ALL OVER! BRAE BEGINS TO STAND BACK UP, LIFTING VINCENT MONDRIAN UP INTO THE POWERBOMB POSITION, AS HE FACES THE RING… THIS IS IT! THIS COULD BE THE END FOR VINCENT…
Stew-O: POWERBOMB OFF THE PLATFORM!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer:…NO!
Stew-O: BRAE GIVES OUT, HE DOESN’T HAVE THE STRENGTH, AND HE DROPS DOWN; WITH VINCENT MONDRIAN HANGING OFF THE EDGE, UPSIDE DOWN, THE TRIANGLE CHOKE STILL APPLIED!!!!
Flannery McCoy: VINCENT MONDRIAN IS HANGING UPSIDE DOWN, IF HE LETS GO, HE’S GONNA DROP HEAD-FIRST INTO THE RING! BRAE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO POWERBOMB HIS OPPONENT BUT THE BOTH OF THEM ARE IN DANGER HERE! VINCENT IS TRYING TO PULL HIMSELF BACK UP, USING BRAE’S BODY… BUT IT’S NO USE! BRAE IS GETTING TO HIS KNEES… BRAE HAS AN IDEA!!!
Stew-O: BRAE FLIPS FORWARD!!! HE FLINGS HIS BODY OVER THE EDGE, AND THE BOTH OF THEM GO FLYING THROUGH THE AIR…
(# CRASH!!!!)
Jake Mercer: AND THEY SLAM INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING! THE BOTH OF THEM TAKING SUCH A HUGE FALL, AS THE TRIANGLE CHOKE HAS FINALLY BEEN RELEASED!!! THE TWO AREN’T MOVING WHATSOEVER, LYING IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT RING AS IF A BOMB HAS JUST DROPPED ON THE TWO OF THEM; THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF LIFE ASIDE FROM THAT REFEREE! BRAE AND VINCENT MONDRIAN ARE OUT COLD ONCE MORE!! HOW THE HELL ARE WE GONNA GET A WINNER NOW???
(The camera would fade out to a replay, meanwhile, Vincent and BRAE would get checked on by the referee. The two would begin to show very brief signs of life, such as small movements of their arms, legs or head, as well as blinking and Vincent pushing his hair out of his face. BRAE attempts to recover, getting to his knees, but he drops back down immediately; at the same time, Vincent tries to push himself back up, but doesn’t even have enough strength to do so. The two clinging onto the last bit of adrenaline that they have in order to continue this match.)
Stew-O: Jesus Christ. I’m not sure how either one of them are going to continue. I’m sure right now, the referee is settling on a draw.
(And perhaps he may be. The referee is watching these two, not having anything in them to continue fighting. He knows that this choice is a tough one to make, either face the scrutiny of having no winner, or face the scrutiny of letting one of these Elitists wrestle until they can’t anymore. He knows what he has to do; and chooses the lesser of two evils…)
Stew-O: I don’t blame him! This one has to be over, neither of them can continue competing.
(The referee would walk away from Vincent, looking to ring the be-)
Stew-O: WAIT A MINUTE! VINCENT GRABS THE REFEREE BY THE LEG! HE’S PULLING ON HIS ANKLE, TRYING TO GET HIS ATTENTION!!!
(The referee would turn around, hesitating for just a moment…)
Jake Mercer: MEANWHILE, BRAE STUMBLES OVER, AND PUSHES THE REFEREE OUT OF THE WAY! THESE TWO ELITISTS AREN’T GOING TO CONTINUE WITHOUT A WINNER!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: BRAE IMMEDIATELY DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE, HE USED ALL HE HAD IN HIM TO STOP THE REFEREE FROM ENDING IT, AND HE GRABS ONTO VINCENT’S WRIST!!! HE BEGINS TO RAIN DOWN HAMMERFISTS, SNAPPING AGAINST VINCENT’S EAR!!! HE’S LOOKING TO END THIS THE ONLY WAY HE KNOWS HOW!!!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE SLOWLY BEGINS TO DRAG VINCENT MONDRIAN BACK UP TO HIS FEET! BRAE IS LOOKING FOR THE END HERE, GRABBING ONTO VINCENT’S HEAD!!! I KNOW WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE…
Jake Mercer: BURNING LARIAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: DENIED!!!! VINCENT MONDRIAN DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND APPLIES A SLEEPERHOLD!!! HE EVEN GRABS ONTO BRAE’S BROKEN NOSE TO DO SO, AND COVERS HIS MOUTH!!!! HE’S STOPPING BRAE FROM BEING ABLE TO BREATHE!!!
Flannery McCoy: VINCENT MONDRIAN IS LOOKING TO END THIS MATCH VIA SUBMISSION, AND I’M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE BRAE IS GOING TO HAVE IN HIM! HE’S TRYING TO PULL VINCENT’S ARMS APART, BUT IT’S NO USE! HE’S GOT IT AS TIGHT AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE, THERE’S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT BRAE IS GOING TO FORCE HIS WAY OUT OF THIS ONE!
Stew-O: ABSOLUTELY NOT! THIS ONE IS ALL SHE WROTE! VINCENT MONDRIAN HAS HIM IN A SLEEPER HOLD THAT NOT EVEN THE STRONGEST OF ELITISTS COULD BREAK OUT OF!!
Jake Mercer: I TOLD YOU! I PREDICTED IT! I CALLED IT! WE HAVE A NEW-
Stew-O: BUT WAIT! BRAE RUNS BACKWARDS, AND SENDS VINCENT BACK-FIRST INTO THE STEEL! VINCENT IMMEDIATELY LETS GO OF THE HOLD, AS BRAE STUMBLES FORWARD!
Jake Mercer: BRAE TURNS AROUND, HE’S GONNA END THIS HERE… FLYING HEADBUTT!!!! !
Stew-O: DODGED! BRAE GOES HEAD-FIRST INTO THE STEEL, AS VINCENT MONDRIAN DROPS TO THE GROUND!!! BRAE IMMEDIATELY CLUTCHES ONTO HIS NOSE!
Jake Mercer: VINCENT IS NOW PUSHING HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET HERE, HIS LIMBS LOOKING AS IF THEY WERE MADE OF JELLY! BUT HE’S FIGHTING THROUGH IT! HE’S FIGHTING THROUGH IT AS IF HIS LIFE WERE ON THE LINE; HE’S LOOKING TO PUT BRAE DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: AND HE GRABS BRAE, DRAGGING HIM AWAY FROM THE STEEL, PULLING HIM TO THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND HE ONLY HAS ONE MOVE IN MIND! VINCENT MONDRIAN LIFTS THE IMPERIAL SYMPHONY UP TO HIS FEET, AND HE’S LOOKING TO DELIVER ONE LAST MOVE!
Jake Mercer: AND WE KNOW WHAT THAT MOVE IS…
Stew-O: ‘VAN GOGH ASCENDANCY’!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: INVERTED HEADLOCK DROPPED INTO A DDT!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: NEW CHAMPION!!!
Jake Mercer: NO!!!! BRAE FLIPS BACK AND LANDS ON HIS FEET, GRABBING VINCENT BY THE HEAD… BURNING LARIAT!!!!!!! ALL OF HIS BODY WEIGHT INTO HIS ARM, AND HE TAKES VINCENT OUT WITH THAT BURNING LARIAT!!!
Stew-O: I’VE NEVER SEEN A MORE BRUTAL LARIAT IN MY LIFE! HE PULLED VINCENT INTO THAT SHORT-ARM LARIAT, AND HE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO TIME TO PREPARE! HE TOOK VINCENT OUT OF HIS SHOES, AND NOW HE KNOWS WHAT HE HAS TO DO! NOW HE KNOWS THAT HE IS MOMENTS AWAY FROM RETAINING HIS CHAMPIONSHIP!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE CRAWLS OVER TO VINCENT MONDRIAN AND GRABS HIM BY THE HAIR; HE ONCE AGAIN BEGINS TO PULL THE TWO OF THEM UP INTO A STANDING BASE, AS HE LOOKS FOR ANOTHER….
Jake Mercer: BURNING LARIAT!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: VINCENT MONDRIAN SLUMPS DOWN, HE MAY ALREADY BE KNOCKED OUT! BUT BRAE DOESN’T CARE! BRAE ISN’T FINISHED, HE’S GOING TO CEMENT HIS VICTORY, LEAVE ABSOLUTELY NO ROOM FOR VINCENT TO RECOVER!!! HE GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD AGAIN, AND THE TWO SLOWLY BEGIN TO GET BACK TO A STANDING BASE! VINCENT’S EYES ARE ROLLED BACK AND HIS ARMS ARE DROOPING TO HIS LEFT, UNABLE TO DEFEND HIMSELF! BRAE HAS HIM IN HIS SIGHTS…
Flannery McCoy: BURNING LARIAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: VINCENT IS OUT OF IT! VINCENT IS OUT COLD!!
Jake Mercer: BUT AGAIN; BRAE ISN’T FINISHED!!!
Stew-O: BRAE RECOVERS TO HIS FEET, AND STANDS ABOVE VINCENT MONDRIAN!!! HE’S USING EVERYTHING HE HAS LEFT IN ORDER TO PUT THIS MAN DOWN, I’M NOT SURE HOW HE’S STILL STANDING NEVERTHELESS FIGHTING – BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER! BRAE LOOKS DOWN AT VINCENT, AND PULLS HIS ARM BACK… GOING FOR IT AGAIN!!!
Flannery McCoy & Jake Mercer: ‘RED DEATH’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: VINCENT MONDRIAN HAS TO BE OUT COLD…
Flannery McCoy: HOWEVER….
Stew-O: THERE’S NO WAY…
Jake Mercer: HE’S… VINCENT HAS…
Stew-O: VINCENT HAS JUST BEEN PULLED INTO A STANDING KATA HA JIME FROM BRAE!!! BRAE LIFTS VINCENT OFF HIS FEET, LITERALLY HANGING HIM!!!
Jake Mercer: AND THE REFEREE HAS SEEN ENOUGH! VINCENT WAS OUT COLD LONG BEFORE THE SUBMISSION ATTEMPT, BUT THE SUBMISSION SEALS THE DEAL!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… AND **STILL** EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION… BRAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(‘Duel of The Fates V2’ by Samuel Kim blares throughout the speaker system, as The Sphere would be filled with a deafening boo. Immediately, BRAE would let go of the Kata Ha Jime, allowing Vincent Mondrian to droop back down; as BRAE stumbles backwards, catching himself against the cage. Immediately, a hand would go to his broken nose, looking to stop air from getting to the cut, and also to stop it from moving so freely, holding it into one place. The referee would check on Vincent Mondrian, as the Fight Pit door swung open. Ring Crew would head over and hand BRAE his Championship; The Imperial Symphony gripping it with pride, his bloodied hands staining the gold plate, his battle scars and his war medal bleeding into one. He stumbled forward, looking down the hardcam, raising the title.)
Stew-O: What. A. War. These two gave it absolutely everything they had for the sake of that New Breed Championship. They had a war, an absolute war, they drew one anothers blood and fought all over the fight pit, but in the end, Vincent walks out without the Championship; and BRAE continues to wear it around his waist.
Flannery McCoy: Vincent showed the world what a warrior he is, and I’m sure gold is in his future sooner rather than later, however, tonight simply wasn’t his night. There isn’t anything to take away from him, every match requires a loser, and tonight, that was him. But this match should be worn as a badge of honour, knowing that he came this close, and will come even further next time around.
Stew-O: For sure, Flannery; there’s nothing you can take from either competitor, BRAE just came out on top in the closing stages of this match, he was able to slip through that extremely small margin first, and he came out the victor! The Imperial Symphony; ‘Lord’ BRAE – our New Breed Champion!
(BRAE would climb up the Fight Pit, standing atop the platform, as he raises his Championship up high, defending the belt inside of an illustrious stipulation. Pain For Pride was his crowning moment, and tonight, his head keeps that crown. The broadcast then began to fade to black.)
(A commercial for Deadpool & Wolverine featuring R…)
(Ronan Malosi plays! Who did you think it’d say?)
(https://i.imgur.com/Z5OvHQm.png)
(Reckless Wiring returns as Stephie Love is seen standing by.)
Stephie Love: The fans have voted and this match will be a DOG COLLAR MATCH!!!
(The crowd is obviously losing their shit.)
Stephie Love: And it will be contested under NO DISQUALIFICATION RULES, scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Saint Pablo’ by Kanye West is heard playing up as the camera goes over to show a very serious-looking Cy Henderson as he makes his way out to the stage. He scans around at the crowd who doesn’t seem to react very positively to him, but that doesn’t mean anything to him as he makes his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from New York City… weighing in at 240 pounds… ‘JUSTICE SEEKER’… CY HENDERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well we know how Cy Henderson has felt these past couple of weeks especially in regards to this match that he’s having tonight at Reckless Wiring. He doesn’t like Rex McAllister at all and sees through this facade that he has. I can’t particularly say that Cy doesn’t have any perspective on it, because he in fact has walked down this same path before.
Jake Mercer: Once upon a time Cy was the loveable good guy, but he turned his back on these fans and became the person that he is today. It’s gotten him multiple big wins in the past but now I think that he wants to do more, and he sees Rex as a way of doing it. He wants to prove that they are in fact not the same, and the way he’s going to do that is by winning tonight.
(‘Survivor’ by The Score then begins to follow as the crowd gets loud. The camera then goes over to the stage to show a determined Rex McAllister as he makes his way out. He jumps around before popping his neck as he then begins to make his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Sea Isle, New Jersey… weighing in at 238 pounds… ‘THE LIONHEART’… REX MCALLISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Rex McAllister knows that he and Cy Henderson are not the same despite how they’ve faired in this current climate in EAW. But he knows that he holds pride in being able to be himself without going down the same path that Cy has gone down, and that’s what makes this clash so interesting because it’s so much different than how it would have been a year ago.
Jake Mercer: But even Rex knows he’s going to have to give a lot in order to win this one. With the stakes, and the future implications, Rex knows what’s on the line and how he’s going to have to deliver. Will that be enough? We’re just going to have to find out.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: This long-awaited match in what has been a heated rivalry has officially begun. The fans have voted, meaning Cy Henderson and Rex McAllister have been strapped to one another with a dog collar, and I have a feeling that this is going to be a good one. A clash between two Hall of Famers, multi-time World Champions, and in the end, only one of them will be able to come out on top.
Flannery McCoy: Both of them make their way around the ring, seemingly getting a feel for this match right now as they slightly tug at the dog collar, trying to lure the other in. Despite what you may believe this is not just full steam ahead, it’s clear that both Elitists want to be methodical right now, knowing that the wrong move is going to cost them heavily if it happens. These matches are vicious. Rex inches closer to Cy…
Jake Mercer: BUT AS HE DOES IT’S CY WHO SNATCHES THE CHAIN AND YANKS REX TOWARD HIM BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HARD LARIAT TO THE FACE! REX IS DROPPED DOWN TO THE GROUND AND CY IS QUICK TO STOMP DOWN ON HIM WITH REPEATED ATTACKS TO HIS BODY! THE CROWD IS NOT A FAN OF THIS TACTIC, BUT I DON’T THINK CY CARES AT ALL ABOUT THE FACT!
Stew-O: Rex slowly stirs up to a kneeling position as Cy takes a step back, and it looks like he’s grabbing a hold of that chain and beginning to wrap it around his hand, looking to deliver something painful here… AS HE SENDS A STRIKE TOWARD HIS HEAD WITH HIS CHAIN-WRAPPED FIST!
Flannery McCoy: BUT REX DUCKS UNDER THAT! HE REFUSES TO LET THAT HAPPEN AS HE TAKES THE CHAIN AND PULLS CY IN… SEIZING HIM BY THE HEAD AND SPINNING HIM AROUND INTO A NECKBREAKER! Rex manages to avoid harm right here and is looking to make sure it stays that way as he rises back up to his feet. Cy is clutching at his back as he rolls onto his stomach, and Rex sees an opportunity as he crouches down and takes the chain in his hand…
(CRACK!)
Jake Mercer: TAKING IT AND SLAMMING IT ACROSS THE BACK OF CY HENDERSON! Cy is hurt by this and immediately tries to roll away, but remember that they’re bound together, so Rex is quick to pull him back… AS HE CONNECTS WITH THE CHAIN ACROSS HIS BACK AGAIN! Cy is in a world of hurt as he struggles to fight back, but Rex is quick to continue as he pulls more of the chain toward him…
Stew-O: NOW BEGINNING TO CHOKE CY OUT WITH IT AS HE PULLS THE CHAIN BACK! THE DOG COLLAR AROUND HIS NECK IS TIGHTENING AS HE STRUGGLES TO BREATHE, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT REX IS ABSOLUTELY RELENTLESS RIGHT NOW! THE HATE THAT BOTH OF THEM HARBOR FOR EACH OTHER AFTER EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED THESE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS! IT’S ONLY RIGHT THAT THEY GET TO SETTLE THIS IN A MATCHTYPE AS VICIOUS AS A DOG COLLAR MATCH!
Flannery McCoy: After sometime it’s Rex who finally relents! Cy is once again trying to roll away as he heads toward the edge of the ring, slowly beginning to come to his senses as he lays on the apron. Rex sees this and rises back up to his feet, not letting him get a moment to breathe for very long… AS REX RUSHES TOWARD HIM AND GOES FOR A BASEBALL SLIDE TO KNOCK HIM OUT OF THE RING-
Jake Mercer: BUT CY MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING BEFORE GRABBING THE CHAIN AND YANKING REX TO THE OUTSIDE AS WELL! Rex takes a hard fall on the outside and Cy is quick to snatch him and pull him back up to his feet… RUNNING HIM FORWARD AND SENDING HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST! The impact sends Rex stumbling forward and down to a knee, but Cy is quick to make his way back toward him as he grabs him by the back of his head… PROCEEDING TO SLAM HIM DOWN ONTO THE FRONT OF OUR ANNOUNCERS TABLE!
Stew-O: Rex dips down to a knee and it seems like Cy isn’t done, as he’s stripping away our table now, wiping it clean as it seems like his intentions are being made known right now as he once again takes a hold of the head of Rex McAllister! Rex is stunned for the moment and it seems like Cy is going to take advantage… GOING UNDER AND LIFTING HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS WITH A FIREMAN’S CARRY ATTEMPT-
Flannery McCoy: BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN AS REX BEGINS TO DRIVE ELBOWS INTO THE SIDE OF CY’S HEAD! Cy was trying to put him through the table but it seems like that’s not something that Rex particularly wants right now! Cy is doing everything that he can right now but he’s forced to let go as he drops Rex down to the ground… AND REX IS QUICK TO SNATCH HIM BY THE HEAD AND DRIVE A KNEE STRAIGHT INTO HIS ABDOMEN! Rex manages to take him down to the ground and he’s using this opportunity right now as he wraps the chain around his hand…
Jake Mercer: BEFORE DRIVING IT AGAINST THE FACE OF CY WITH AN ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL PUNCH TO THE FACE! Cy is hurt but manages to keep himself up as Rex takes advantage of that… CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER STRIKE TO THE FACE USING THAT CHAIN! Cy is practically lifeless right now but he’s being held up by Rex as he sets him up again… BEFORE DRIVING THAT FIST INTO HIS FACE FOR A THIRD TIME TO DROP HIM DOWN!
Stew-O: And those attacks have created a gash across the forehead of Cy and he’s starting to bleed. An early sign of blood is being shown right now and I’m sure he’s not going to be the only one with how the trajectory of the match is going. Rex snatched him by the head and brought him back up, beginning to drag him back toward the ring… AS HE RETURNS THE FAVOR AND SENDS HIM AGAINST THE RINGPOST! Cy is taken down and he realizes that he needs to do something quick, but that’s not going to happen with Rex on his tail…
Flannery McCoy: SO HE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT AS HE GRABS REX BY THE CHAIN AND PULLS HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE RINGPOST! Rex crumbles down to the ground and it looks like Cy is entering back into the ring, rolling under the bottom rope without even taking Rex with him, as he begins to pull the chain toward him, what does he have in mind here…?
Jake Mercer: CY YANKS BACK ON THE CHAIN AND HE’S CHOKING REX FROM INSIDE OF THE RING! REX’S BACK SLAMS AGAINST THE APRON AND HE STRUGGLES TO GET OUT OF THIS AS HE TRIES TO MANEUVER HIMSELF, BUT CY IS PULLING BACK WITH ALL OF HIS STRENGTH AND MAKING SURE THAT HE CAN’T GO ANYWHERE! BOTH OF THEM ARE STRUGGLING FOR CONTROL AND IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW CY IS ON TOP!
Stew-O: Rex finally manages to bring his leg up onto the apron as he’s pulled back into the ring! You can see him gasping for air, but at the same time he knows that he doesn’t have much time, and Cy asserts that as he grabs him by the head and then begins to drag him up to his feet to set him up for something…
Flannery McCoy: SCOOPING HIM UP AND CONNECTING WITH ‘PHANTOM DEATH’! THE MICHINOKU DRIVER TAKES REX MCALLISTER DOWN TO THE GROUND AND CY HENDERSON DOES NOT WASTE ANY TIME HOOKING THE LEG AND GOING FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRR-
Jake Mercer: BUT REX MANAGES TO KICK OUT! It was a close attempt but Rex manages to dig deep and find a way out of it. Cy makes his way up to his feet as he takes him by the chain again, pulling him up to his feet before seizing him around the waist and sending him toward the opposite side of the ring… CONNECTING WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Stew-O: Rex falls back to the ground but Cy is quick to yank him up to his feet… BEFORE FOLLOWING THAT UP AS HE CONNECTS WITH A SECOND CLOTHESLINE TO THE FACE! Cy is relentless in his attack so far as he takes the chain and pulls Rex back up to his feet…
Flannery McCoy: PROCEEDING TO SPIN AROUND AND CONNECT WITH A ‘CYCLONE LARIAT’ TO THE FACE! THE DISCUS LARIAT-
Jake Mercer: NO! HE DUCKS UNDER IT AS HE TURNS AROUND AND IS MET WITH A JUMPING KNEE TO THE FACE BY REX MCALLISTER TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! Cy stumbles back against the ropes and Rex takes advantage of this as he seizes him by the wrist and sends him toward the opposite side of the ring… FOLLOWING THAT UP AS HE CATCHES HIM AGAINST THE JAW WITH A BICYCLE KICK-
Stew-O: BUT IT’S PREVENTED AS RIGHT IN THE NICK OF TIME, CY CLUTCHES THE ROPES AND KEEPS HIMSELF IN PLACE! Rex barely manages to catch himself, BUT CY PULLS HIM TOWARD HIM USING THE CHAIN AND GOES FOR A BOOT TO THE FACE-
Flannery McCoy: JUST FOR REX TO DUCK UNDER THAT AS HE LIFTS HIM OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECTS WITH AN OLYMPIC SLAM! CY BOUNCES OFF OF THE CANVAS AS REX THEN ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG! GOING FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT! IS THIS GOING TO BE IT?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRR-
Jake Mercer: NO! CY MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF THAT JUST IN TIME! Rex expected that, and I’m sure he knows that it’s going to take a whole lot more if he wants to take someone like Cy Henderson down. Rex is beginning to get back up to his feet and you can see Cy with a pained expression on his face trying to muscle through this and rise back up. But it seems like it might be too late as Rex is right there waiting for him! Looking to set him up for something else here!
Stew-O: AS HE PULLS HIM IN AND LIFTS HIM UP FOR A SECOND OLYMPIC SLAM!
Flannery McCoy: NO! THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN! RIGHT BEFORE THAT IT’S CY WHO MANAGES TO LAND BEHIND HIM! CY THEN GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AND LIFTS HIM OFF THE GROUND AS HE GOES FOR A SIDEWALK SLAM- BUT REX MANAGES TO BRING HIS LEG UP AND DRIVE A KNEE AGAINST HIS FACE! Cy manages to escape out of it… BEFORE WRAPPING THE CHAIN AROUND THE NECK OF REX MCALLISTER AND PULLING BACK AS HE STARTS TO CHOKE HIM OUT!
Jake Mercer: REX IS ONCE AGAIN STRUGGLING FOR AIR BUT IT SEEMS LIKE HE REALIZES THE SITUATION THAT HE’S IN A LOT QUICKER THAN HE DID EARLIER! REX IS WRAPPING THE REMAINDER OF THAT CHAIN AROUND HIS HAND… BEFORE CRACKING IT AGAINST THE SKULL OF CY HENDERSON! Cy staggers back, grabbing his head while Rex manages to recover, making his way over… CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER HUGE SHOT WHICH DROPS CY DOWN TO THE GROUND-
Stew-O: NO! CY MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT JUST IN TIME! HE GRABS THE CHAIN AND TURNS AROUND REX BEFORE PULLING HIM IN AND SLAMMING IT AGAINST HIS FACE! Cy has a handful of the chain and is yanking Rex by the dog collar toward the center of the ring… AS HE MOUNTS ON TOP OF HIM AND BEGINS TO DRIVE REPEATED FISTS TO HIS FACE WITH THE CHAIN WRAPPED AROUND HIS HAND!
Flannery McCoy: BLOOD IS FLYING EVERYWHERE AS CY CONTINUES TO TEE OFF ON HIM WITH REPEATED SHOTS TO THE FACE! BOTH ELITISTS ARE BUSTED OPEN RIGHT NOW AND THEY KNOW THE SITUATION THAT THEY’RE IN HAS BECOME DIRE! YOU CAN SEE THE LOOK OF RAGE THAT IS ON THE FACE OF CY HENDERSON RIGHT NOW AS HE CONTINUES TO TEAR INTO HIM!
Jake Mercer: BUT AFTER SOMETIME REX FINALLY MANAGES TO SHOVE HIM AWAY! Both get back up to their feet but it looks like Cy is running toward the ropes and back, looking to go for something here…
Stew-O: AS HE REBOUNDS LOOKING FOR THE ‘CYCLONE LARIAT’ TO THE HEAD-
Flannery McCoy: NO! REX MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT BEFORE TAKING THE CHAIN AND YANKING THE DOG COLLAR TOWARD HIM! HE PULLS CY IN…
Jake Mercer: ‘REX EFFECT’!
Stew-O: NO! REX COMMITTED TO THE FLOATOVER BUT CY MANAGED TO SLIP HIS HEAD OUT OF IT BEFORE BOOTING HIM IN THE ABDOMEN! HE THEN LIFTS HIM OFF THE GROUND… GOING FOR A POWERBOMB ATTEMPT DOWN ON REX MCALLISTER RIGHT NOW-
Flannery McCoy: BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN! REX IS SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE AS HE BEGINS TO RAIN DOWN PUNCHES STRAIGHT TO THE FACE! CY IS TRYING TO HOLD ON BUT RIGHT NOW IT’S CLEAR THAT HE’S EXTREMELY FATIGUED RIGHT NOW! HE’S DOING EVERYTHING THAT HE CAN BUT REX HAS FIGHTING SPIRIT! HE’S NOT GOING TO LET UP!
Jake Mercer: BUT IT LOOKS LIKE CY IS HEADED OVER TO THE EDGE OF THE RING THOUGH! HE’S REFUSING TO PUT HIM DOWN, INSTEAD GOING FOR SOMETHING ELSE… AS HE SENDS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING WITH A HUGE POWERBOMB-
Stew-O: NO! REX MANAGES TO REAR BACKWARD AND SEND CY OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH HIM! BOTH OF THEM TUMBLE DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA AND THEY’RE BACK TO FIGHTING DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO OUR ANNOUNCERS TABLE!
Flannery McCoy: They rise back up and look at what’s happening right now! They’re wasting no time beginning to trade punches back and forth, knowing exactly what’s at stake with this match as deep into it as it is right now. Rex is beginning to gain the upperhand, with Cy struggling to match the same energy that he has right now! He grabs a hold of him by the head… BUT CY MANAGES TO COME ALIVE AND DRIVE A KNEE STRAIGHT INTO HIS ABDOMEN! CY ISN’T DONE AS HE SNATCHES A HOLD OF REX BY THE HEAD… SLAMMING HIS FACE AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE APRON TO KNOCK HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Jake Mercer: Cy now has Rex by the hair as it looks like he’s aiming to conduct some unfinished business right now. He drags him toward the announcers table, setting him up… AS HE SLAMS HIS FACE DOWN ONTO THE FRONT OF IT! Rex bounces off of it and is taken down to the ground and he’s wasting no time trying to get some breathing room right now. He’s gingerly crawling himself over to the timekeeper’s area, staying away from the vicinity that Cy Henderson wants him in.
Stew-O: But Cy is not letting off of him, beginning to make his way over as he follows him. He grabs a hold of him by the head and brings him back up to his feet…
(DING!)
Flannery McCoy: BUT LOOK! REX JUST CAME ALIVE AND SMASHED THE RING BELL AGAINST THE FACE OF CY HENDERSON! CY IS DROPPED DOWN TO THE GROUND AND REX IS EAGERLY WAITING HIM TO GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET AGAIN… BEFORE TAKING THE RING BELL AND CONNECTING WITH IT A SECOND TIME AGAINST HIS FACE TO TAKE HIM BACK DOWN! REX MANAGED TO GET HIM DOWN BUT HE KNOWS THAT HE NEEDS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS!
Jake Mercer: REX HAS HIM BY THE HEAD AS HE BRINGS HIM UP AND LAYS HIM OVER THE ANNOUNCERS TABLE! IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S ABOUT TO PUT HIM THROUGH IT, AND CY IS ABSOLUTELY LIFELESS RIGHT NOW! THERE’S NOTHING THAT HE’S GOING BE ABLE TO DO IF THIS GOES ON ANY FURTHER! Rex is climbing up onto one of the barricades, and it looks like he has his eyes set on a despondent Cy Henderson right now…
Stew-O: AS HE PUSHES HIMSELF OFF AND DIVES OFF OF THE BARRICADE WITH AN ELBOW DROP!
(CRASH!)
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! WAIT! CY JUST SNATCHED THE CHAIN AND PULLED REX BY THE DOG COLLAR OFF OF THE BARRICADE! HE PULLS HIM OFF AND REX MCALLISTER IS SENT RIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE WHICH BLOWS UP IMMEDIATELY UPON IMPACT! REX IS COMPLETELY OUT OF IT AND YOU CAN SEE THE SMIRK ON THE FACE OF CY HENDERSON THROUGH ALL THE BLOOD, HE’S LOOKING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS AND HE WANTS TO DO SO RIGHT NOW!
Jake Mercer: CY GRABS REX AND BRINGS HIM UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE ROLLING HIM IN! HE THEN QUICKLY ENTERS INTO THE RING HIMSELF AND HE’S YELLING AT REX! TRYING TO SET HIM UP FOR SOMETHING HERE AS HE FALLS BACK AGAINST THE CORNER! REX IS CLEARLY HURT RIGHT NOW, AND HE KNOWS THAT THERE’S ONLY SO MUCH THAT HE CAN DO ESPECIALLY WITH SOMEONE LIKE CY HENDERSON LINGERING AROUND HIM!
Stew-O: REX IS UP TO HIS FEET…
Flannery McCoy: AS CY RUSHES TOWARD HIM AND GOES FOR ‘CALAMITY’! THE GORE!
Jake Mercer: BUT REX MANAGES TO SPIN OUT OF THE WAY OF IT JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME! REX REALIZES WHAT IS HAPPENING AND MANAGES TO MOVE AS HE GRABS A HOLD OF THE CHAIN AND YANKS CY BACK UP TO HIS FEET IMMEDIATELY AS HE HITS THE GROUND! CY STAGGERS UP AND TURNS AROUND, UNBEKNOWNST TO HIM WHAT’S ABOUT TO HAPPEN…
Stew-O: AS REX WRAPS THE CHAIN AROUND HIS NECK AND USES IT TO DROP HIM DOWN WITH A CHAIN ASSISTED ‘REX EFFECT’! THE DDT CONNECTS AND CY HENDERSON IS OUT COLD! YOU CAN SEE THE FATIGUE ON THE FACE OF REX MCALLISTER, BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU CAN SEE THE CROWD COME ALIVE AS THEY KNOW THAT THIS MIGHT VERY WELL BE THE END OF THE MATCH!
Flannery McCoy: BUT YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF REX MCALLISTER ALREADY! HOW MUCH CY HAS TAKEN OUT OF HIM! HE’S CLEARLY FINDING IT HARD TO GENERATE SOMETHING HERE AS HE REACHES OUT AND IS TRYING HIS BEST TO PIN CY, BUT HE IS WAY TOO EXHAUSTED TO DO SO! THIS MIGHT VERY WELL COST HIM, BUT REX IS STILL PERSISTING…
Jake Mercer: AS HE THROWS HIS ARM OVER THE BODY OF CY HENDERSON! THE REFEREE IS SLIDING DOWN AND WASTING NO TIME BEGINNING TO COUNT THE PIN ATTEMPT! WILL THIS BE THE END OF WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN A VICIOUS DOG COLLAR MATCH UP TO THIS POINT?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(…)
Stew-O: NO! NO! NOT JUST YET! CY HENDERSON MANAGES TO COME ALIVE AS HE SHOOTS HIS ARM HIGH INTO THE AIR! REX CAN’T BELIEVE IT! THIS MATCH CONTINUES ONWARD!
(The crowd is not wasting any time showing how they feel about it, it’s clear that Cy Henderson is the villain in this situation and they’re not particularly happy with him managing to push through all of this adversity. Rex is clearly exhausted as he pulls himself up to a seated position. He shakes his head, even though Cy lived to see another day, he knows how close he is. He knows that he’s fingertips away from a victory with the right move, and he’s going to take advantage of that as he rises back up to his feet.)
Flannery McCoy: What a match that we’ve seen so far between two Hall of Famers. They’ve laid it all on the line right now and it’s clear that they’re far from through. Cy is beginning to stir, as he knows the trouble that he’s in right now and he knows that he’s going to have to dig deep if he wants to get out of this. But Rex has other plans right now as he’s already approaching him again, knowing that he’s going to have to do more if he wants to truly say that he finished the job.
Jake Mercer: REX IS GRABBING A HOLD OF HIM BY HIS LEG BEFORE PULLING HIM IN! IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S ABOUT TO GO FOR ‘THE REX LOCK’! THE STF SUBMISSION HOLD TO CY-
Stew-O: BUT CY MANAGES TO GRAB A HOLD OF THE BOTTOM ROPE AS HE YANKS HIMSELF OUT OF THE RING JUST IN TIME! REX TRIED TO PULL HIM BACK TOWARD HIM WITH THE CHAIN, BUT IT’S TOO LATE AS CY TAKES A HARD TUMBLE ON THE OUTSIDE BUT DESPITE THAT MANAGED TO ESCAPE OUT OF THE SITUATION THAT HE WAS IN! THE CROWD IS ONCE AGAIN BOOING LOUDLY FOR CY HENDERSON AS REX CLEARLY HAS TO THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE!
Flannery McCoy: Rex has rolled out of the ring and he’s making his way over to Cy, grabbing him by the hair and then beginning to yank him up to his feet. Despite managing to escape in the nick of time, Cy doesn’t have much fuel left in the tank. He knows that it’s going to take a lot to get him out of this predicament. The question is what is it going to be? Rex grabs him by the head and pulls him into a front facelock! HE THEN LIFTS HIM UP GOING FOR A SUPLEX ONTO THE RINGMAT!
Jake Mercer: NO! CY DROPS HIS WEIGHT JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME! CY MANAGES TO STOP THE ATTACK FROM HAPPENING AS HE BEGINS TO DRIVE STRIKES RIGHT AGAINST THE WAIST OF REX FORCING HIM TO LOOSEN THE GRIP THAT HE HAS! REX IS TRYING HIS BEST TO STAY AFLOAT HERE… BUT CY IS QUICK TO RUN HIM FORWARD AS HE DRIVES HIM SPINE-FIRST AGAINST ONE OF THE BARRICADES!
Stew-O: Rex gives a cry of pain as he tumbles down to the ground, and it doesn’t seem like Cy is very done with him either. He grabs a hold of him by the head and brings him up to his feet, setting his sights… AS HE RUNS HIM FORWARD AND SENDS HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE STEEL STEPS WHICH TOPPLE OVER UPON IMPACT! REX IS DROPPED TO THE GROUND AND AS QUICKLY AS THIS MATCH CONTINUED, CY HENDERSON IS RIGHT BACK IN THE FOLD AS HE LAYS DOWN SOME OFFENSE!
Flannery McCoy: But he knows that he’s going to have to do more. He’s going to have to exert a lot more energy himself if he wants to come out of this one as the victor, and Rex knows that too as he creates distance by slowly crawling away, doing what he can right now in order to keep himself from being hurt any further. He grabs a hold of Rex and brings him up to his feet…
(CRACK!)
Jake Mercer: BUT AS HE DOES IT’S REX WHO DRAGS HIS HAND OUT FROM UNDER THE RING APRON AND TAKES A STEEL CHAIR BEFORE SMACKING IT AGAINST THE ABDOMEN OF CY HENDERSON! Cy is hurt as he staggers backward before dropping down to a kneeling position, just for Rex to take the chair… AS HE CONNECTS WITH IT AGAINST HIS FACE! Rex manages to find a way back in this as he wastes zero time going back under the ring apron again. He knows that he can find something under there that can change the tides once and for all, and I think he knows exactly what’s going to do that for him as he grabs a hold of something and pulls it out from under there…
Stew-O: IT’S A TABLE! REX MCALLISTER HAS A TABLE IN HAND AS HE QUICKLY PUSHES THAT INTO THE RING! He grabs a hold of Cy himself as he pulls him inside as well! Rex then enters the ring himself and is looking to set it up, and he knows just how badly he needs this right now if he wants to secure the victory tonight at Reckless Wiring.
Flannery McCoy: He leans the table against one of the corners as he grabs Cy himself and brings him back up to his feet. He then seizes him by the head as he drags him toward the corner, SMASHING HIS HEAD AGAINST THE FRONT OF THE TABLE! Cy is hurt as he leans against it, and it looks like Rex has one thing in mind, and that’s to put Cy through the table right now!
Jake Mercer: REX TURNS AROUND A SHE GETS A RUNNING START AND RUSHES TOWARD CY AT FULL SPEED, LOOKING TO THROW HIMSELF INTO HIM AND SEND THE HALL OF FAMER THROUGH THE TABLE!
Stew-O: NO! CY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! REX MANAGES TO STOP HIMSELF JUST IN TIME IN FRONT OF IT AS HE STEPS BACK…
Flannery McCoy: AS CY GRABS HIM AND LIFTS HIM OFF OF THE GROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ‘RISING TIDE’! THE BURNING HAMMER DROPS REX DOWN ONTO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD AND HE’S COMPLETELY OUT OF IT! CY ROLLS HIM OVER AS HE HOOKS THE LEG! GOING FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT RIGHT HERE! THE REFEREE SLIDES DOWN AND STARTS THE COUNT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

(…)
Jake Mercer: IT’S NOT IT! REX MCALLISTER COMES ALIVE AND MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF THE PIN AND CY CAN’T BELIEVE IT RIGHT NOW!
(Cy looks at the referee, who is telling him that Rex McAllister has managed to kick out, and that’s definitely not something that is sitting well with him. After some time he nods his head, keeping his composure as he rises back up to his feet, slowly dropping down and rolling out of the ring as he has his eye on something peeling back the ring apron.)
Stew-O: Well it looks like Cy Henderson isn’t entirely satisfied with everything that he’s been doing right now, and he knows that he’s going to have to deliver more punishing offense if it means finishing the job here. The question is what the hell is he pulling out from underneath the ring???
Flannery McCoy: I’LL TELL YOU WHAT IT IS! CY HAS A BOX CUTTER IN HIS HANDS!
(Cy eyes the box cutter as the crowd continues to boo, but as he’s shown these past couple of months, how they feel about his actions has never been a problem to him whatsoever. He doesn’t go after Rex, instead using the box cutters… to start cutting loose the canvas inside of the ring.)
Jake Mercer: Cy is beginning to cut at the canvas and it looks like he’s trying to expose the wood paneling underneath it! Rex is still lifeless right now and he knows that this is absolutely not going to be very good for him!
Stew-O: Cy manages to expose the wood paneling as he enters the ring and peels back the canvas! He then grabs a hold of Rex and brings him back up to his feet, and this is not going to be very good for him right now! He drags him toward the exposed wood paneling as he turns around and runs toward the ropes…
Flannery McCoy: NO WAY HE’S DOING THIS! CY IS RUNNING TO THE ROPES! HE’S GOING FOR HIS OWN VERSION OF ‘THE REX EFFECT’ TO REX MCALLISTER!
Jake Mercer: COULD YOU PERHAPS CALL THIS ‘THE CY EFFECT’?!
Stew-O: WELL REGARDLESS IT DOESN’T WORK! AS CY FLOATS OVER IT’S REX WHO MANAGES TO GO UNDER AND LIFT HIM OFF THE GROUND BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN INTO A BACK BODY DROP ON THE WOOD! REX THEN LEAPS OFF THE GROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A PELE KICK WHILE CY HENDERSON GETS BACK UP! REX COLLAPSES TO THE GROUND AT THE SAME TIME AS CY DROPS DOWN AND THEY BOTH KNOW THAT WE’RE REACHING THE FINAL STAGES OF THIS MATCH!
Flannery McCoy: Rex is doing everything that he possibly can right now in order to rise back up to his feet. He knows that he’s already taken so much offense up to this point, and he has been continuously beaten down over and over again. He’s at the end of his rope, and he knows that if he doesn’t capitalize here, who knows if he’s going to be able to get another opportunity. Cy is slowly beginning to rise back up, and this gives Rex the cue to shoot up to his feet as he runs to the ropes and back…
Jake Mercer: HE LEAPS OVER AND GOES FOR ‘THE REX EFFECT’!
(…)
Stew-O: IT CONNECTS! IT CONNECTS! REX JUMPS OVER AND SPIKES CY’S HEAD DOWN ONTO THE EXPOSED WOOD PANELING AND CY HENDERSON IS ABSOLUTELY OUT OF IT RIGHT NOW! THIS TIME REX IS WASTING ZERO TIME! HE ROLLS HIM OVER AND HE HOOKS THE LEG! HE’S GOING FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Flannery McCoy: CY HENDERSON KICKS OUT!
Jake Mercer: NO! WAIT! HE DIDN’T JUST DO THAT! HE SHOT HIS ARM UP AND HIT REX MCALLISTER WITH A LOW BLOW WHILE HE KICKED OUT! THE REFEREE SAW IT, BUT HE COULDN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! THIS MATCH IS NO DISQUALIFICATION!
(Rex is in pain as he rolls over, and the crowd, confused for a moment but realizing what had happened, is not particularly happy about this at all either. Cy doesn’t care though as he pushes himself back up to his feet. Rex is tries his best to stumble away, retreating from the area but it’s clear that he can only get so far…)
(CRASH!)
Stew-O: # CY HENDERSON WITH THE ‘CALAMITY’ THROUGH THE TABLE!
Flannery McCoy: REX IS SENT THROUGH THE TABLE AND HE’S COMPLETELY OUT OF IT! BUT CY KNOWS THAT’S NOT GOING TO BE IT! HE BRINGS REX UP ONCE AGAIN AND HE GRABS A HOLD OF HIM ONE MORE TIME…
Jake Mercer: # CONNECTING WITH ‘RISING TIDE’ ONTO THE EXPOSED WOOD PANELING!
Stew-O: REX IS OUT! REX IS OUT OF IT! BUT CY ISN’T GOING FOR THE PIN YET EITHER! HE WANTS TO BE CERTAIN! HE WANTS TO KNOW THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO PUT AWAY REX MCALLISTER RIGHT HERE AS HE PULLS HIM IN!
Flannery McCoy: # AS HE WRAPS THE DOG COLLAR CHAIN AROUND HIS NECK AND HAS A CHAIN-ASSISTED ‘VOID LOCK’!
Jake Mercer: BLOOD IS POURING DOWN AS REX ISN’T EVEN RESPONSIVE RIGHT NOW! CY HAS THE CHAIN WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK AND THE STF LOCKED IN! REX IS OUT OF IT AND THE REFEREE IS CHECKING JUST TO MAKE SURE! HE RAISES HIS HAND IN THE AIR!
Stew-O: DROPPING IT! REMEMBER THAT THE REFEREE HAS TO CHECK THREE TIMES BEFORE THIS MATCH IS OFFICIALLY OVER! HE LIFTS REX’S HAND AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: AS IT DROPS TO THE GROUND A SECOND TIME! THE REFEREE IS CHECKING ONE MORE TIME AS HE LIFTS HIS HAND UP! WILL THIS BE THE END OF THE ROAD FOR REX MCALLISTER?!
(…)

(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: IT IS! CY HENDERSON HAS WON! REX MCALLISTER HAS PASSED OUT!
(‘Saint Pablo’ begins to play through the speakers of the arena as an exhausted Cy Henderson releases the hold that he has on Rex McAllister. He quickly takes the dog collar and rips it off of his neck, tossing it away as he gingerly rises back up to his feet. The crowd is booing loudly at this but it doesn’t seem like Cy really cares, as the referee helps him back up to his feet and he raises his hand high into the air.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… CY HENDERSON!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Wow, what a match that we just got the opportunity to witness. Both of these competitors walked into this Dog Collar match knowing that they were going to have to give it their all if they wanted to win. If they wanted to even come close, they needed to unleash a side of themselves that would push them all the way to the finish line.
Flannery McCoy: But when it came down to it, it was Cy Henderson who unloaded the clip on Rex McAllister, literally gave him everything humanly possible in his moveset in order to keep him down and be able to say that he came out on top. It was a long and hard-fought battle.
Jake Mercer: If anything I think it should be a testament that it took this much to keep Rex McAllister down in the first place. Cy Henderson knew that not one finisher was going to be enough, but three and a dog collar assisted move that would make him pass out. Rex never quit, and maybe that’s something to hang your hat on.
Stew-O: Regardless, no matter how you look at it, Cy Henderson got the victory, congratulations to him.
(The last shot seen is Cy leaving the ring, not needing to be tended to by officials as he doesn’t look back. Rex is still out of it, with the dog collar around his neck while officials are checking on him. Reckless Wiring, from there, begins to fade out.)
(A commercial is shown for Burger King featuring Drake Armstrong and the Burger King of Elite Joso.)
(The graphic for the following match of the night can be seen on the tron.)

(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following contest… is a HELLFIRE DEATHMATCH… scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘2024’ by Playboi Carti can be heard blaring throughout the speakers as the audience immediately roars with adoration & applause. Joso emerges from the back with confidence oozing from his presence, and unbridled focus as he gazes upon the audience before looking ahead to the ring & walking down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Bronx, New York, weighing in at 206 pounds…. THE KING OF ELITE… JOOOOOOOOOOOOOSOOOOO!!!
Stew-O: An incredible night for this young man to continue his upward trajectory as a main event elitist here in EAW! Joso was able to defeat one of the greatest in Impact back at Pain for Pride Kingdom, and now he has the opportunity to defeat another one of the all time greats in a man who has remained one of the most prominent fixtures of this business for several years now. The pressure is on, but Joso will certainly face this pressure head on!
Flannery McCoy: Joso has made no secret about how he feels, as he has been in quite the disagreement with Drake King about how he views himself. Of course, he wouldn’t be the last person to believe in how delusional Drake is, but he looks to prove without a shadow of a doubt that his delusions do not hold the weight he believes they do!
Jake Mercer: Which is far easier said than done, but we will see how Joso & Drake King do battle right here in a matter of moments!!
(‘When Darkness Falls’ by Killswitch Engage is still heard blaring throughout the speakers, with Drake King making his way out from the back & standing at the entrance ramp with a confident smirk on his face. Drake extends his arms outward with his grin remaining plastered over his face, the crowd continuing to let their reactions be heard as he would proceed to walk down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing his opponent! Residing from the Dead Sea, Israel, weighing in at 220 pounds… HE IS ‘GOD’, DRAAAAAAKE, KINGGGGGG!!!
Stew-O: Of course, this man truly does not need any introduction on who he is if you have been acquainted with professional wrestling for even a cup of coffee, but it must be stressed how a victory over Drake King can truly take Joso to an amplified stratosphere. Multi-time World Champion, EAW Hall of Famer, multi-time Pain for Pride main eventer. He has detractors, but his resume ultimately speaks for itself.
Flannery McCoy: And with all of that, he still happens to be quite the delusional figure, but I guess becoming as accomplished as a Drake King sure does lead to an ego that’s far more one of a kind.
Jake Mercer: No need to cast your jealousy out there for all to see, we’re witnessing a living legend in the flesh taking in a man who wants to usher in an era without said legend. Tonight, we will have an indication of who history favors the most…
(As both men occupy themselves inside the ring, the referee in front of them who is situated in highly fire-protective gear gives the signal to the officials at ringside. With rags set accordingly along the barbed wire ropes, the pyrotechnician carefully sets fire to the rags as the flames spread across each of the ropes that surround the ring. The brave referee takes a deep breath, before calling for the bell.)
(DING DING DING!)
Stew-O: AND WE ARE OFF! As the barbed wire ropes are engulfed in flames! The heat seeping through the arena as 2 of Dynasty’s finest stand off against one another. They are soaking in the moment for the most part, you may find yourself existing in some crazy points in EAW… But I don’t know if it can get as crazy as this. Joso revs his hand up, AND SLAPS DRAKE KING DIRECTLY ACROSS THE FACE! The disrespect to Drake King, as Joso backs away for a moment, watching Drake King hold his jaw.. BEFORE DRAKE KING TURNS AROUND, AND A KICK TO THE STOMACH! AS DRAKE KING ALREADY LOOKS TO IRISH WHIP JOSO INTO THE BARBED WIRE ROPES THAT ARE ENGULFED IN FLAMES!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT JOSO STOMPS HIS FOOT ON THE MAT. Saving himself and keeping the strength held to not allow that to happen! Drake King slowly turns around to Joso, as he continues to try and pull, but Joso isn’t budging! Before– JOSO SLAPS DRAKE KING ACROSS THE JAW AGAIN! Drake is a bit staggered, as JOSO NOW LOOKS TO RETURN THE FAVOR AND SEND HIM COLLIDING INTO THE BARBED WIRE ROPES ! BUT DRAKE KING RESISTS! Joso quickly abandons that attempt this time around. But he spins around into a huge forearm from Drake King knocking him back a bit! This match took place in the center of the ring, as neither man here nor there wished to make that collision with the barbed wire ropes, as you can see the referee standing his distance away. Equipped in fire protection gear nonetheless!
Jake Mercer: I say, the referee might have the scariest job in this match. As Drake King makes his way over to Joso in the middle of the ring, who is slowly pulling himself up– AS HE WALKS INTO JOSO, WHO SPRINGS UP LOOKING FOR A BELLY TO BELLY- but Drake King starts firing back! He hits the side of Joso’s face with both hands, making Joso loosen his grip, as he throws a big elbow right on the forehead of his opponent! Joso slowly stumbles backwards, as Drake King…. WAIT A SECOND, DRAKE KING IS ALREADY LOOKING TO “JUDGMENT DAY” ONTO JOSO! CAN HE PUT HIM AWAY THIS QUICKLY!?!?!?!? NO! JOSO MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, AS DRAKE KING COMES SO CLOSE TO MEETING THOSE BARBED WIRE ROPES! THE HEAT OF THE FLAMES AGAINST HIS SKIN, UNTIL HE IS ROLLED UP FROM BEHIND BY JOSO!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: A KICKOUT FROM DRAKE KING ENSUES! That was nearly a close victory from Joso, as things went horribly wrong for Drake. But with that said – JOSO HAS DRAKE, LIFTING HIM UP! LOOKING TO DRILL HIM INTO THE MAT WITH “HEAVEN’S GATE”! DRAKE KING MISSED HIS CHANCE, BUT JOSO MIGHT CAPITALIZE WITH THE PACKAGE PILEDRIVER! BUT DRAKE KING IS REFUSING TO GO DOWN! AS HE SLOWLY SHIFTS THE MOMENTUM OF JOSO AGAINST HIM- BEFORE THROWING JOSO ON THE GROUND WITH A BACK BODY DROP! A safe landing for Drake, as he turns his attention to Joso– who is rolling out of the ring! avoiding the flaming barbed wire ropes, and creating distance!
Flannery McCoy: Drake King looks at the flames on the barbed wire ropes, but he sits down, and slowly exits the ring carefully! Joso is slowly crawling on the outside however, this match can only end inside the ring, but a lot of damage can be done on the outside! First and foremost; Joso slowly pulls himself up with assistance from the steel steps! But Drake King makes his way over to Joso! Joso has no idea Drake is closing in on him– AS HE SLAMS JOSO FACE FIRST ON THE STEEL STEPS! But wait a minute, Drake King- is throwing Joso back into the ring already! Joso quickly rolls into the ring the second he is placed on the apron, not wanting to get burnt to a crisp! But it seems as if Drake King is out to teach a lesson to Joso in the ring. If you wanna be World Champion, you gotta get it done in the heat of the situation. Figuratively and literally!
Jake Mercer: I think that Drake King is making a crucial mistake. He had the perfect chance to knock Joso out cold with a chair or something right here! But he’s proving some sort of point, I guess. Drake King slowly and safely makes his way back in the ring and over to Joso. Joso is in the center of the ring, slowly rising up to his knees, and trying to regain focus.. BEFORE A ROUNDHOUSE KICK IS SENT FLYING AT JOSO- BUT JOSO AVOIDS IT! DRAKE KING IS SPUN AROUND FROM THE MOMENTUM OF THE KICK! AND A BACKSTABBER FROM JOSO TAKES HIM OUT! A huge swing of momentum that Joso can capitalize on if he is quick enough, and it seems as if he will take his chances! As he crawls over, and drapes the arm across Drake King! CAN HE WIN IT RIGHT HERE?
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: Drake King kicks out! That was a good effort from Joso, but the truth is: it would take a whole load more than that to stop Drake King! Joso hits his fist against the mat, as you can see himself becoming a little impatient. This may not be the place to have little patience however. As Joso rises to his feet, you can see him taking a strained focus on the barbed wire ropes around him once more. If he could get Drake King thrown into those barbed wire ropes at any point, it would be practically over from there! Drake is tending to his back after the backstabber connected, but Joso is denying him any ounce of recovery time! As he pulls Drake King up, throwing some forearms at his face– BEFORE HE GRABS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, AND THROWS HIM INTO THE FLAMING BARBED WIRE ROPES!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE KING MANAGES TO STOP HIMSELF IN HIS TRACKS! AS HE QUICKLY THROWS A BACK ELBOW TO JOSO! Stunning Joso off the grasp of that, Joso stumbles back only briefly, AS DRAKE KING NAILS HIM WITH A SUPERKICK ACROSS THE JAW! JOSO FALLS TO THE GROUND! Drake King stumbles to the ground, but he quickly pushes himself up. The reigning King Of Elite is down, as Drake King hooks the leg on Joso, CAN THIS BE IT HERE?!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THR—
Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT! Drake King quickly wastes zero time however as he elevates Joso up after the pinfall– AND CONNECTS WITH A RIPCORD KNEE TO THE FACE! JOSO FALLS DOWN! And Drake King swoops over, HOOKING THE LEG ONCE MORE!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THR—
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO KICKS OUT! Drake King slowly rolls over across the ring, as he wonders what it will take in order to get Joso out of this match! But alright, he just has to get things going a little bit more. Drake slowly pushes himself up with the canvas. Joso having a seemingly bit harder time at getting up, seeing as he cannot rest his weight on the barbed wire ropes, as they are made of flames! Drake King quickly walks over to Joso, grabbing him by the leg, BEFORE JOSO STARTS RESPONDING WITH BOOTS TO THE FACE OF DRAKE KING! Trying to knock him backwards, DRAKE HAS TO BE CAREFUL TO NOT FALL INTO THE barbed wire ropes! AS JOSO PUSHES HIM BACK! DRAKE CAN FEEL THE HEAT, BUT HE QUICKLY MOVES FORWARD! AND IS PLANTED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING WITH A POP UP KNEE STRIKE! But Joso is too exhausted to make the cover!
Stew-O: The flames only continue to boil with each passing move from these two competitors. Drake King and Joso have been giving one another nothing but back and forth action, but now, Joso has a chance to get the upper hand. A huge knee to the face of Drake King has sent him on the ground, as Joso slowly pushes himself up on the canvas! His approach thus far has been to throw Drake King into the barbed wire ropes as quickly as possible, but it seems as if he needs to dwindle him down a little bit more! Drake slowly is starting to get up now.. lifting himself off the ground slowly.. as Joso is revving up on the attack, Drake King now onto his feet– AS JOSO HITS HIM WITH A JUMPING NECKBREAKER FROM BEHIND! His opponent is down, and Joso, SCURRIES OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREE—
Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT FROM DRAKE KING AGAIN! Joso hit him with a nice combo there, but generally it will take a whole lot more than this, to eliminate Drake King from this match. I have no doubt Joso is willing to go far, in order to win this match. But will Drake allow him to get there is the second guess question? Drake slowly elevates himself up in the middle of the ring, as Joso makes his way over to him, grabbing Drake King– AS HE PUTS HIM IN A SLEEPER HOLD! DRAKE KING CAN’T REACH OUT AND GRAB THE BARBED WIRE ROPES, WHAT CAN HE POSSIBLY DO?!?! THIS IS NOT A GOOD SITUATION TO BE IN, AS JOSO IS SQUEEZING THE LIFE OUT OF HIM! DRAKE MIGHT BE DOOMED IF JOSO MANAGES TO FALL BACK– AND HE DOES! DRAKE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!
Joso: (off-mic) Wrap it up, bitch!
Jake Mercer: NOWHERE TO GO FOR DRAKE KING! LISTEN TO JOSO SHOUTING AT HIM!!!!!!!!! TELLING HIM TO GIVE UP, JOSO FRESH OFF A WIN AGAINST IMPACT, IS LOOKING TO GET ANOTHER HUGE ONCE AGAINST DRAKE! Drake King you can see the environment gaping around him, as he slowly begins to dwindle…! Drake King is starting to lose energy, the heat around the ring is probably already vacuuming him enough, but this sleeperhold is for certain doing that much more damage on top of it! Drake King begins to go limp…. Did Joso just pull it off??
Jake Mercer: NO! DRAKE KING COMES BACK TO LIFE WITH A JOLT OF ENERGY, AS HE MANAGES TO FLIP THROUGH, AND PINS THE SHOULDERS OF JOSO DOWN!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: NO! JOSO KICKS OUT! DRAKE KING QUICKLY RISES TO HIS FEET, AS JOSO GOES FOR A LARIAT! BUT DRAKE AVOID IT! BOTH MEN ALMOST NEARLY COLLIDE WITH THE BARBED WIRE ROPES! AS THEY QUICKLY SPIN AROUND! Joso quickly spun around– TO DRAKE KING WHO CAUGHT MOMENTUM AND IS LOOKING TO HIT HIM WITH “GUILLOTINE”! BUT A SUPERKICK ACROSS THE JAW FROM JOSO TAKES HIM OUT! DRAKE KING MIGHT BE WEAKENED ENOUGH NOW! AS JOSO LIFTS HIM UP… AND GIVES HIM ONE REASSURING SLAP ACROSS THE FACE!
Jake Mercer: AND JOSO IRISH WHIPS DRAKE KING INTO THE FLAMING barbed wire ropes!
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE KING SLIDES UNDERNEATH THE BARBED WIRE ROPES IN THE KNICK OF TIME, SAVING HIMSELF FROM SOMETHING TERRIBLE! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! JOSO IS WIDE EYED. He can’t believe it either! Drake King rests against the barricade as the flames slowly begin to die down… Drake King was moments away from being burnt to a crisp, yet he is still hanging on, and hanging on in a big way! Joso has to find some sort of way to retaliate. You can see the anger in his eyes! He thought he was about to be clarified as the winner in a big way right there! WAIT A SECOND, WHAT THE HELL IS JOSO DOING RIGHT NOW? NO WAY!!!
Flannery McCoy: AS THE FLAMES WERE DYING DOWN, JOSO HITS AN OVERHEAD DIVE ONTO THE OUTSIDE TAKING OUT DRAKE KING!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW? HOW DID HE DO THAT???!!? THERE IS NO WAY. HOW THE HELL DID HE TIME THAT SO PERFECTLY? The flames were dying down a little bit, and Joso managed to showcase himself as an athlete by leaping over the barbed wire ropes! I don’t know if Drake King could ever pull something like that off. Joso now has all the momentum swinging in his favor….. Whenever he can raise back up to his feet! Both competitors are laying out on the ground, as this epic match up is only truly getting started here on the outside of the ring! I just can’t believe Joso risked it all, and managed to pull it off however!
Stew-O: BUT NOW HERE’S JOSO ON THE ATTACK! He’s situating himself over Drake as he’s now raining down the lefts and rights as much as he possibly can! Drake is doing whatever he can to keep himself shielded from the punches, shortly before being able to push Joso off of himself and is looking to move back up to his own two feet! Drake’s back to a proper stance now as he’s looking ahead to Joso, marching right over—
(THWACK!!!!!)
Flannery McCoy: JOSO JUST WHACKED DRAKE WITH THE COVERING OF OUR ANNOUNCE DESK! Drake’s sent reeling back as he makes sure not move too close to the apron, but Joso’s now sending a sudden ROUNDHOUSE KICK across Drake King’s temple that causes him to stagger over to the steel steps! Drake’s not in the most advantageous position here, it’s gonna look far more worse for wear as Drake’s being met with quite the amplified pressure by Joso here!
Jake Mercer: After all of the mocking that Joso’s been throwing around, he’s gotta look to be proving his words correctly so with whatever he can do to put him down tonight! Drake’s got a hand on his own head as he’s facing away from Joso, on a knee against the steel steps as he’s trying to recoup as quickly as possible BUT HERE’S JOSO UP ONTO OUR DESK—AND LEAPING OFF AS HE LOOKS FOR A CROSSBODY FROM OUR DESK & ONTO DRAKE!!
Stew-O: DRAKE DUCKS THE CROSSBODY!! JOSO COLLIDES RIGHT ONTO THE STEEL STEPS!!! JOSO’A WRITHING IN PAIN AS HE’S IMMEDIATELY CLUTCHING HIS ABDOMEN, WHICH HIT THE VERY EDGE OF THE STEEL! Joso’s left in a remarkably bad way right now as Drake’s scouring under the apron, and he’s quick to drag a trash can out of the apron from underneath that’s spilling out its own assortment of weapons & tools!
Flannery McCoy: But this isn’t the best place for Joso to be! The King of Elite really needs to recover as fast as he can, he just had the control not too long ago and one error can cost him the entire match! His abdomen is already being dealt with a significant amount of pain that will absolutely affect him moving forward, yet he’s finding a way to assume position back up to his feet and needs to turn his back to focus on hi—
Jake Mercer: WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!?!?
Stew-O: FLAMING BARBED WIRE WRAPPED CHAIR SMACKED ACROSS JOSO’S BACK!!!! GOOD LORD!!!! DRAKE DIDN’T MINCE ANY OF HIS TIME THERE AS HE ENGULFED THE CHAIR WITH A LIGHTER! The trash can was suited with the necessary tools equipped for a match specifically like this, and now Joso is squirming around the ringside floor as he’s trying to recover back from square one! Drake keeps his glare imposed upon Joso, with a hold of the flaming chair as he’s rather careful with how he’s keeping a hold of it!
(Drake follows Joso while he’s not mobile enough to stand, as he sports a slight grin on his own face while nodding to himself.)
Drake King: (off-mic) This is EXACTLY what you wanted, isn’t it?? You think you can make a mockery of ‘God’, and *really* get away with it????
Flannery McCoy: Seems Drake’s now getting his own time to speak his peace after all that Joso has said to him earlier in the match, and with how Joso’s yet to return to any semblance of an advantage he may have had previously, this isn’t gonna be looking all too fruitful for him here as… NO! DRAKE’S RAISING THE FLAMING BARBED CHAIR UPWARD! HE’S GONNA SLAM THE FIERY METAL ONTO HIS SKULL!!!
Jake Mercer: JOSO WITH A SUDDEN PELE KICK TO KEEP HIMSELF ALIVE HERE! DRAKE DROPS THE CHAIR DOWN ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR AS HE’S STUNNED! Drake’s shaking his head vigorously as the pele kick caught him at the very last second, with Joso now being able to return back to his own two feet while Drake is struggling a bit more than he’d like at the moment! Drake catches Joso rushing toward him at the corner of his eye AND AIMS FOR A SWING—
Stew-O: JOSO DUCKS THE SWING—ONLY FOR DRAKE TO NAIL A SPINNING BACK ELBOW TO CATCH JOSO OFF GUARD!!
Flannery McCoy: JOSO MANAGES TO DUCK THE BACK ELBOW & QUICKLY WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND DRAKE, HOISTING HIM UP—
Jake Mercer: FOR A BELLY TO BELLY ONTO THE FLAMING BARBED WIRE CHAIR!!!!! MY GOD!!! DRAKE IS SQUIRMING AWAY AND ALL AROUND THE FLOOR, SHOOTING BACK UP TO HIS FEET AS HE’S GOT HIS HAND ON HIS OWN BACK! The impact of landing directly onto the flaming barbed wire DID NOT do Drake any favors there, Joso’s able to give himself more time to recoup & regain control while Drake’s too preoccupied with alleviating the pain of the belly to belly!
Stew-O: Which, he isn’t gonna be getting much of anyhow, as Drake’s turning himself back around to Joso while still recovering as much as he possibly can—TO A SHOT OF THE STEEL STEPS RIGHT ACROSS HIS SKULL!! NOT A PRETTY SHOT AT ALL THERE! Drake slumps down onto the floor as Joso didn’t hold back from striking Drake with those unforgiving steps for a single moment there! Now Joso’s able to toss the steps over the ropes and into the mat! Although, I doubt Joso’s looking to drag Drake back into the ring just yet… as he’s looking under the ring as well!
Flannery McCoy: AND BRINGING OUT A TABLE! ONE IMBUED WITH THUMBTACKS AS WELL!! That’s surely gonna get this audience rowdy tonight as Joso’s leaning the announce desk against the barricade nearby to our own location here… but he spots that Drake’s got some measure of movement going on here while he still can, with his hand on the chair! Joso’s motioning himself back over to Drake King here, as he’s sending repeated knees right across his abdomen here! Drake’s groaning out in pain as Joso’s now dragging him over to the table, as he quickly grabs him before he could have any further emphasis on the chair again!
Jake Mercer: Now Joso’s looking to bring himself one step closer toward putting the EAW Hall of Famer down, and there’s no better way of achieving just that with what he’s got in store next! He’s wrapping his arms around the waist of Drake from behind… AS HE’S LOOKING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX THROUGH THE TABLE—
Stew-O: DRAKE WITH A BACK ELBOW AS HE WAS BEING HOISTED UP! Joso’s forced to let go, but he tries to shake off the elbow and AIMS TO TAKE DRAKE BACK DOWN WITH A BICYCLE KICK—
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE DUCKS THE KICK & POSITIONS HIMSELF PERFECTLY WITH JOSO’S LEG OVER A SHOULDER, ALLOWING DRAKE KING TO HOIST HIM UP RIGHT OVER BOTH SHOULDERS!!! JOSO’S WIDE EYED AS HE’S SENDING RIGHTS ACROSS HIS SKULL TO THE BEST OF HIS ABILITY!!!
(CRASH!!!!)
Stew-O: POWERBOMB THROUGH THE THUMBTACK RIDDEN TABLE!!!! JOSO COLLIDES BACK FIRST AS HE’S BURIED UNDERNEATH THE DEBRIS OF THE TABLE & THE THUMBTACKS! Drake is able to stumble back and sit himself onto the bottom half of the steel steps in the corner, breathing heavily all the while Joso is struggling to bring himself out of this current rut! Drake just saved himself from disaster and led Joso right to it through his counters!
Jake Mercer: BUT LOOK! THIS SON OF A BITCH IS STILL MOVING! Whether it’s pure stubbornness or having the heart to fight, Joso’s crawling himself out from the wreckage of the table & tacks, as he’s even yanking some thumbtacks out from his own arm as he does so! His back also has its own fair share of thumbtacks scattered across, but Drake’s returning back to applying his pressure now!!
Flannery McCoy: WITH A FOREARM RIGHT ACROSS THE BACK OF JOSO’S HEAD! KEEPING HIM SUPPRESSED FOR LONG ENOUGH! Drake’s able to not allow Joso any room for a rebound, as he’s dragging him back up to his feet & keeping his arms interlocked right around Joso’s own arms, trapping him where he’ll need to be before HOISTING JOSO BACK UP OFF THE FLOOR—
Stew-O: AND NAILING AN EMPHATIC CHICKEN WING FACEBUSTER ONTO OUR DESK!!! JOSO’S NOSE NAILED ON THE VERY EDGE OF THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!!! JOSO’S IMMEDIATELY CLUTCHING ONTO HIS NOSE AS HE HASN’T MOVED SINCE! Drake’s just given himself the most valuable opportunity imaginable here, as Joso’s nose may genuinely be broken after what just happened!
Jake Mercer: We see the crimson mask begin to take shape over Drake King’s face after the steps from earlier, but he still remains a man who wants nothing more than to send a clear cut message toward his opponent! Now Drake’s not wasting further time, taking minimal time to breathe shortly before dragging Joso back up to his feet and tossing him over to the apron! Joso has enough wherewithal to maneuver himself under the bottom rope & back into the ring, but his nose is bleeding PROFUSELY right now!!
Flannery McCoy: Now Drake’s tossing the trash can directly into the ring! It’s contents spilling out onto the mat as it’s rolling along! Drake doesn’t stop there however, as he’s rather quick in looking under the apron now… as we ANOTHER TABLE being brought into this match! Drake slides the table into the ring shortly before he rolls himself back into the ring as well! He spots Joso trying to move himself back up to a knee, and he’s not too keen on allowing Joso to recover AS HE AIMS FOR A SUPERKICK—
Stew-O: JOSO DUCKS—AND DRAKE TURNS BACK TOWARD A HANDFUL OF THE TACKS SMEARED ACROSS HIS OWN FACE! JOSO HAS ENOUGH ENERGY TO ASSURE DRAKE’S UNABLE TO RETORT BACK!! Drake did all that he could to keep Joso down, but Joso’s resilience is being presented tonight, as well as his craftiness as he must’ve been able to grab the tacks while down on the ringside floor!! Drake’s scrambling to return his own sight back to himself but this proving to be far more difficult than he’d like! He’s remaining on his feet but JOSO’S BACK UP AS WELL!!
Jake Mercer: AS JOSO SENDS A DISCUS LARIAT SPIRALLING TOWARD DRAKE KING & TAKING HIM DOWN WITH AUTHORITY! Drake is struggling to regain his composure at the moment as Joso’s now fighting to bring himself back up again, and drags Drake over to the steps he threw into the ring earlier! With Drake positioned before them, Joso tries to not let another moment go to waste by LIFTING DRAKE KING UP AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE STEPS—
Flannery McCoy: ‘CRIMSON PEAK’ ONTO THE STEEL STEPS!!! THE STYLES CLASH ONTO THE STEPS IS SUCCESSFUL AS ALL OF DRAKE’S FRONTAL BODY WAS SENT COLLIDING ONTO THE STEPS! Drake drops down from the steps and back onto the mat, as Joso works to drag himself over Drake King with the hook of the leg here!!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: NO!!! NOT ENOUGH! DRAKE KING IS STILL KICKING AS THIS HELLFIRE DEATHMATCH CONTINUES!! Joso’s sitting up now, shaking his head as he’s crawling himself over to the middle of the mat, scouring around as the trash can tossed into the ring left a plethora of contents spilling out!!
Jake Mercer: Now Joso’s looking to amp up the agony that he can inflict on Drake, after all that he’s been through himself, it’s only fair you’d think… as he’s grabbing an old fashioned barbed wire 2×4 from within the trash can!! And it seems to be imbued with a substance of its own as Joso can see an open pack of lighters! Joso grabs a lighter, and he puts two & two together rather quickly as he makes sure to place the lighter upon the 2×4, igniting its own spark!!
Flannery McCoy: HE’S NOW GOT A FLAMING 2×4 IN HIS HANDS! THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR DRAKE KING! JOSO TAKES HIS EYES BACK TOWARD DRAKE, SHAKING HIS HEAD AS HE RUSHES TOWARD DRAKE AND SWINGS FOR THE FENCES!!!
Stew-O: WHAT THE HELL?!?
Jake Mercer: **A FIREBALL CATCHES JOSO DIRECTLY INTO HIS FACE!!!!** DRAKE JUST UTILIZED THE FLASH PAPER THAT LEFT THE CAN & A LIGHTER TO SAVE HIMSELF ONCE MORE!!! Joso can’t see a goddamn thing! The thumbtacks might appear to be child’s play compared to a freakin’ fireball, Drake knew exactly what to do at the exact perfect moment!
Flannery McCoy: SEEMS DRAKE HAD TO MAKE A CALLBACK TO THE LAST HELLFIRE DEATHMATCH MORE THAN TWO YEARS AGO! JOSO IS BLINDED AS HE’S TRYING TO SHAKE IT OFF.. BUT DRAKE WITH A SUPERKICK—AS JOSO’S STAGGERS BACKWARD INTO THE FLAMING BARBED WIRE ROPES! JOSO GROANS IN PAIN!!! HE’S STUMBLING FORWARD TOWARD DRAKE KING—
Stew-O: BOOT TO THE ABDOMEN FROM DRAKE! FOLLOWED BY DRAKE HOOKING JOSO’S ARMS.. AS ‘ASCENSION’ CONNECTS RIGHT ONTO THE FLAMING 2X4!!!! ABDOMEN FIRST AND ALL!!! JOSO IMMEDIATELY SQUIRMS AWAY FROM THE 2X4 WITH HIS HANDS ON HIS OWN ABDOMEN AFTER THE PEDIGREE, BUT DRAKE EAGERLY HOOKS JOSO’S LEG FOR THE PIN!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Jake Mercer: NO!!! STILL NOT ENOUGH! THE SHOULDER UP FROM JOSO!!! Drake is shaking his own head vigorously once more, this time in quite the annoyance & aggravation as he’s rolling himself over to the apron, carefully under the bottom rope and avoiding the flames as he scours around the apron and looks around…
Flannery McCoy: As he pulls out a fire extinguisher from under the apron! Well, that could’ve been rather helpful throughout the entirety of this match, but he sees that Joso is slowly but surely recovering, and there’s not enough time for him to utilize the extinguisher as he allows the agent to be dispersed over the chair!!!! The once flaming barbed wire chair is now absent of its flame, with Drake quickly grabbing the weapon & bringing it into the ring! Joso can be seen slowly but surely bringing himself back to a conscious motion—
Stew-O: BUT NOT BEFORE DRAKE SLAMS THE BARBED WIRE WRAPPED STEEL CHAIR ONTO JOSO’S BACK!!! AND AGAIN!! AND AGAIN!!! AND AGAIN!!!! AND AGAIN!!!! JOSO IS DEFENSELESS WITH EACH CHAIR SHOT THAT’S BEING MADE!!!! DRAKE KING IS ABSOLUTELY UNGLUED WITH HIS VERACITY HERE AS JOSO HASN’T BEEN ABLE TO MOVE A SINGLE INCH!
(Drake glares down at Joso, who’s now entirely immobile while the marks of blood & burns alike can be seen etched across his back. Drake’s breathing heavily as blood’s dripping down from his own skull, his eyes squinting as his glare only grew stronger.)
Drake King: (off-mic) You’re at your wits end, you delusional child… It’s done, you hear me! IT’S DONE!
Jake Mercer: Drake King in laymen’s terms ‘talking his shit’ just before propping up the barbed wire chair in the middle of the ring, and then dragging Joso’s head right over the chair as well!! Drake’s now backing himself away into the corner, he’s got the King of Elite right where he needs him to ensure there’s NO possibility of Joso standing back up… AS HE’S RUSHING FORWARD!!!!
Flannery McCoy: AND DRAKE KING SEEKS OUT ‘JUDGMENT DAY’ WITH A CURB STOMP ONTO JOSO’S SKULL & INTO THE CHAIR!!!!!
(….)
Stew-O: OH MY GOD!!!! JOSO STABS DRAKE DIRECTLY INTO THE EYE WITH A PIECE OF BARBED WIRE!!!!! DRAKE’S SCREAMING OUT AS HE’S CLUTCHING ONTO HIS FACE, BACKING AWAY IN A HURRY!!!! JOSO EVADES DISASTER AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!
Jake Mercer: He must’ve ripped away barbed wire from the chair while he was prone!!! Drake still can’t see a damn thing as he’s got his hand on his face WHILE WALKING TOWARD JOSO—
Flannery McCoy: WHO LIFTS HIM OFF OF HIS FEET AND SENDS HIM CRASHING BACK DOWN ONTO THE BARBED WIRE STEEL CHAIR WITH ‘INCOMING SILENCE’!!!! SPIN-OUT SITOUT POWERBOMB TAKES DRAKE KING DOWN!!!! JOSO MAINTAINS THE PIN AS THE REFEREE COUNTS!!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Stew-O: NO! NO! STILL NO!!!! DRAKE KING KICKS OUT!!! JOSO IS ABSOLUTELY SPENT, BUT HE’S NOT LINGERING ON THE FAILED PIN ATTEMPT FOR LONG! He’s right back to setting his plans in motion here, setting the table up as it’s now propped in position, all the while Joso’s gotta return his focus back to Drake no matter how immobile he may appear at the moment! Joso is walking back over to Drake, trying to drag him back up to his feet as much as he can..
Jake Mercer: ONLY FOR DRAKE TO SLASH A PIECE OF BARBED WIRE ACROSS JOSO’S FACE!!!! DRAKE BEING CRAFTY IN HIS OWN RIGHT MUCH LIKE JOSO!
Flannery McCoy: Joso’s now clutching onto his own face here as Drake’s now ripping off an elongated piece of barbed wire from the chair & wrapping the barbed wire around his own knee while Joso’s unable to fight back, QUICKLY GRABBING A HOLD OF JOSO’S WRIST WHILE HIS BACK IS TURNED AND LEADING HIM BACK AROUND—
Stew-O: INTO A BARBED WIRE-ASSISTED RIPCORD KNEE DIRECTLY INTO THE POSSIBLY BROKEN NOSE!!!!! JOSO’S BEEN MET WITH DISASTER TIME & TIME AGAIN AS HE DROPS BACK DOWN TO THE MAT, CLUTCHING HIS NOSE!
Jake Mercer: Now Drake King’s dropped to his knees, as he’s crawling back over to the trash can & dragging out a specific item here… oh god… HE’S GOT A GASOLINE CAN!! He drags himself up and pours gasoline over the table that Joso just set up!!! Drake’s picking up a match & box of matches now, able to press the match against the box & struck the match right off to have the flame ready! HE DROPS THE MATCH ONTO THE TABLE AS THE TABLE’S BEEN ENGULFED WITH FLAMES! DRAKE’S READY TO ASSURE JOSO’S END!!
Flannery McCoy: JOSO’S SHOWING SOME SHRED OF WILLPOWER HERE THOUGH! HE’S MOVING BACK UP TO HIS FEET HERE—BUT A JUMPING KNEE FROM DRAKE KING CAUSES JOSO TO SLUMP DOWN ONCE MORE! Drake keeps him down just like that!!!
Stew-O: Drake drops to a knee himself however! The wear & tear of this hellscape of a deathmatch has worn the Messiah down considerably, but he’s still trying all that he can to keep himself conscious enough as the adrenaline is surely taking its own course! Now Drake’s dragging Joso over to the flaming table, and he’s got a handful of his tights with his arm around his neck as well… oh my god, he’s gonna do it… SECOND TIME’S THE CHARM!! HE’S GONNA DO IT! HOISTING JOSO UP—
Jake Mercer: FALCON ARROW ONTO THE FLAMING TABLE!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: WHAT THE—
Stew-O: ‘EXECUTIONER FROM HELL’ ONTO THE FLAMING TABLE!!!!! JOSO RAKED DRAKE’S BAD EYE AND REMAINED BACK IN THE POSITION HE WAS ABLE TO HOIST DRAKE KING UP INTO THE CUTTER!!!! ALL OF DRAKE’S UPPER HALF DROPPED DOWN ONTO THE FIERY TABLE!!!! DRAKE’S STRUGGLING HERE!! IMMEDIATELY SQUIRMING AWAY FROM THE TABLE AS HE’S ROLLING AROUND THE RING! THE COVER!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: NO! SHOULDER UP!!! JOSO’S UNABLE TO BRING HIMSELF UP QUICKLY WITH MUCH OF HIS ENERGY USED UP FOR THE MANEUVER, BUT HE RUSHES BACK OVER TO DRAKE WITH BARBED WIRE IN HIS HANDS!!!
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE’S IN TOO MUCH AGONY TO PREVENT HIS ARM BEING TRAPPED BY JOSO! AND NOW THE BARBED WIRE WRAPPED AROUND HIS HEAD!!!!
Stew-O: **’FOR HONOR’!!!!!** BARBED WIRE ASSISTING THE CROSSFACE SUBMISSION!!! DRAKE KING IS SQUIRMING AROUND, HIS ONE GOOD EYE REMAINING WIDE OPEN AS HE’S SCOURING AROUND!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT THERE’S NOTHING HE CAN DO!!! THE BARBED WIRE ROPES ARE IN FLAMES, HE’S BEEN PUT THROUGH SO MUCH & JOSO’S REELING HIS HEAD BACK WITH THE BARBED WIRE!!!! WE GENUINELY MAY SEE JOSO FORCE ‘GOD’ TO SUBMIT HERE…
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE’S HAND IS HOVERING OVER THE MAT!!!!! HE’S GONNA… HE’S GONNA—
Stew-O: TAP!!!! HE HAS TO!!!!
(…)
Jake Mercer: :damn:
Flannery McCoy: :damn:
Drake King: (off-mic) AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!!! **DRAKE KING IS GRABBING THE INFLAMED BARBED WIRE ROPE WITH HIS BARE HAND!!!!** HE’S GRABBING THE ROPE AND SCREAMING OUT IN AGONIZING PAIN!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS HE THINKING?!??!?!
Stew-O: HE USES ALL OF HIS STRENGTH TO PULL HIMSELF AWAY AND DROP ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!!! JOSO LETS GO TO PREVENT HIS OWN BODY FROM HITTING THE FIERY ROPES!! DRAKE KING IS A MADMAN, BUT HE DID WHAT HE NEEDED TO DO TO ESCAPE CERTAIN DEFEAT!!
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE’S IMMEDIATELY USING THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER! DOUSING HIS HAND WITH THE AGENT TO AID HIMSELF, BUT I’M CERTAIN ENOUGH DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE TO ENSURE IT’S IN BAD SHAPE! JOSO’S LOOKING TO TARGET DRAKE—
Jake Mercer: BUT DRAKE USES THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AGAINST JOSO!! HE’S DOUSING THE ENTIRE SIDE OF THE RING WITH THE AGENT AS JOSO’S STAGGERING AROUND! BLINDED AS DRAKE’S NOW SLIDING BACK INTO THE RING!!! JOSO’S GOT NO DAMN CLUE WHERE HE IS!!!!
Stew-O: ‘GUILLOTINE’!!!!! SICK KICK!!!!! JOSO’S DOWN & OUT!!!! DRAKE GETS AN ARM OVER JOSO!!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(…)
Flannery McCoy: I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!!! JOSO WITH THE SHOULDER UP!!! DRAKE’S INCENSED, SHAKING HIS HEAD AS THE MATCH IS STILL NOT OVER!!!
(Drake’s clutching onto his hand, which has been blackened considerably due to his desperate escape. However… he very much takes notice to the entire side of the ring where the barbed wire ropes have been completely removed from their flames.)
Stew-O: I believe Drake has now understood the fire extinguisher he used against Joso got rid of the flames from that side of the ring! And now he’s dragging Joso over to the barbed wire ropes!!!! Joso’s kicked out, but ALL of his energy was needed for that kick out!!
Jake Mercer: HE’S WRAPPING THE BARBED WIRE ROPES AROUND JOSO’S ARMS!!! HE’S TRAPPING HIM & APPLYING MORE AGONY TO COINCIDE WITH THE BARBED WIRE!! JOSO’S UNABLE TO SQUIRM, HE’S GOT NOWHERE TO GO!!
(Drake traps Joso along the barbed wire ropes, entirely wide eyed as he’s now picking up the gasoline can once more, as he’s then turning his gaze toward Joso.)
(As a sick, twisted smile slowly grows from his crimson masked face.)
Stew-O: NO, NO YOU CAN’T—HE’S POURING GASOLINE ALL OVER JOSO!!!! JOSO SEEMS TO AWAKEN A BIT FROM THE PETROL BEING POURED OVER HIM AS HE’S SQUIRMING, BUT HE CAN’T BREAK FREE! DRAKE’S JUST EMPTIED THE ENTIRE CAN ONTO HIS OPPONENT!
Stew-O: JOSO NEEDS HELP! SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET OUT HERE NOW!!!!
(Drake picks up the lighter, and he glared down toward Joso with a smirk as he flicked the lighter sparingly while looking at the man he just poured every square of his body with gasoline.)
Drake King: (off-mic) Don’t be an idiot. Now’s not the time to cut your career shorter than I already have tonight.
(Drake continued to turn the lighter on repeatedly, as his grin faded away.)
Drake King: (off-mic) Give up. Quit. Submit. Say what you need to say, to make the ref’ call this match off. Do it, now…
(Joso would slightly raise his head, as a small smirk formed on his own face.)
Joso: (off-mic) What is it, huh… Got cold feet or something, Drake…?
Drake King: (off-mic) What was that…?
Joso: (off-mic) I made myself… perfectly clear… *I want your bitchass gone.* If you’re gonna do it… just do it…
(Joso fully raised his head, glaring right up at him.)
Joso: (off-mic) Rather not have an EAW to go to… than have to see an EAW… with Drake King walking around *at all…*
Drake King: (off-mic) …..You… Are a moron…
Joso: (off-mic) Yeah….?
(Joso spits directly at the face of Drake King, as Drake’s eye widens while Joso breathes heavily, unwilling to quit by any means necessary.)
Joso: (off-mic) The fuck are you waiting for…
Drake King: (off-mic) ……….
(Drake keeps the lighter on, as he steps forward.)
Stew-O: JOSO’S DEFIANCE IS GONNA COST HIM HIS CAREER!!!!
Jake Mercer: CAREER?!? HE’S GONNA KILL HIM!!! WHAT THE HELL DOES HE GAIN OUTTA NOT QUITTING NOW!!!!
Flannery McCoy: HE’S RAISING THE LIGHTER ABOVE HIM!!!! HE’S GONNA DO IT!!! OH MY GOD WAIT—
(The audience all across the Sphere suddenly breaks out into immense shock as the atmosphere has altered entirely.)
Stew-O: JOSO’S EYES WIDEN AS HE LOOKS PAST DRAKE!!! DRAKE TURNS AROUND, FEELING MOVEMENT—
Jake Mercer: SUPERMAN PUNCH!!!! **ANDRE WALKER IS HERE!!!!** THE LIGHTER FLIES OUT OF DRAKE’S HAND AND DROPS TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR AS ANDRE BACKS INTO THE CORNER! DRAKE’S STUNNED WHILE SOMEHOW REMAINING ON HIS FEET.. BUT ANDRE’S RUSHING TOWARD HIM!!
Flannery McCoy: ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’!!!!!! SPEAR FROM ANDRE WALKER!!!!! DRAKE’S LAID OUT!!!! ANDRE IS BACK!!
(Andre stands right back up, as he spots Joso who is trapped in the barbed wire ropes. Andre can’t help but grin as he shakes his head, as he gives the significant push to the ropes that allows Joso to squirm himself free.)
Andre Walker: (off-mic) You’re welcome.
(Andre slides out of the ring, walking to the ramp as Joso’s visibly disgruntled, but he still has a match to win as Drake’s vigorously shaking his head while prone on the mat.)
Stew-O: ANDRE GIVES THE ASSIST HERE AS JOSO’S ABLE TO PICK UP WHERE HE LEFT OFF, DRAGGING DRAKE INTO POSITION—AND HOISTING HIM UP FOR ‘HEAVEN’S GATE’!!!! SPIKING DRAKE ON HIS HEAD!!! NOW HE LEANS BACK ONTO DRAKE AS THE REFEREE COUNTS!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… JOOOOSOOOOOO!!!
(‘2024’ blares through the speakers as medical personnel sprawl into the ring after several officials extinguish the rest of the flames. The referee raises Joso’s hand while he’s seated on the mat, absolutely spent with his breath remaining heavy as it can be.)
Jake Mercer: Did we not see that??!?? I understand Drake was just about murder a man on his first outing with him, but ANDRE WALKER!!!! THE KAISER HIMSELF!!!! HE’S GOT UNFINISHED BUSINESS WITH DRAKE KING & ESSENTIALLY HANDED THE WIN OVER TO JOSO!! My Kaiser’s been quite the courteous gentleman tonight!
Flannery McCoy: Slow your role. He may have aided him, but it’s not like Joso ever asked for Andre’s help. You can see exactly how upset he is having to pick up the scraps, he was willing to remain defiant against Drake even when he was waving that lighter around! He would’ve fought back relentlessly if he was allowed the time.
Stew-O: Regardless, it was an absolutely chaotic hellscape that was created by both of these men tonight, as Joso manages to go the distance in the end & pin Drake King for the three count. A war to remember, and a victor tonight… congratulations, to Joso!
(Joso’s seated on the apron as medical personnel continue to check on him extensively, while he’s glancing back at Drake, who is still down on the mat & seething deep down in his expression despite his vulnerable state. Joso then turns his gaze to the ramp, as his lingering anger for how the result panned out can be seen with Andre stood at the ramp, allowing a grin to slip out as the scene soon fades.)
(A commercial plays for Spirit Airlines, with Drake King flying on a plane consisting of people traveling to Jamaica now that Vybz Kartel has been released from prison.)
(The final matchcard for the night is shown.)
(https://i.imgur.com/Y8J4Ymx.png)
(After the matchcard is shown, the show transitions to a shot of Stephie Love inside the ring, and the fans maintaining their fever-pitch energy as she makes the announcement.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, as chosen by you, the following is a LANDMINE DEATHMATCH, and it is the main event of Reckless Wiring for the EAW World Heavyweight Championship!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(‘Pride and Arrogance’ by Takeru Kanazaki plays throughout the arena.)
Crowd: :francis:
(The lights of the arena shift to an orangish-golden tint.One of the Minitron screens elevates to reveal Drake Armstrong being driven onto the stage in his Rolls-Royce of the week! As the chauffeur drives onto the ramp, the upper half of the Future’s body can be seen popping out from the open roof of the car. From his elevated position, Drake Armstrong poses with his arms outstretched for EAW’s cameramen whilst being bombarded with boos by the front-row fans that line the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challenger! From Scarsdale, New York, weighing in at 245 pounds, he is ‘The Future’, DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMSTROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!!!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: And a vitriolic response here for this young man who will be having his first world championship match here at Reckless Wiring! The ‘Next Up in 2024’ winner has had a tremendous first half of the year by having an Interwire Championship reign, and since losing it at Pain for Pride, he has built himself up within the upper echelon of the competition here. Now, he has his eyes set on winning the EAW World Heavyweight Championship, a title he has pursued ever since he was the one to put Myles on notice. He called his shot, and he’s taking it.
Jake Mercer: You definitely got to admire his determination and ambition, even if some fans may want to act as if Drake is setting himself up to fail all because he may or may not have got his hands dirty in the process.
Flannery McCoy: Like bringing Minerva up?
Jake Mercer: Well….
Flannery McCoy: 😐
Jake Mercer: Hey, it’s just the nature of the business. Even Myles knows that nothing is off limits, especially in EAW! This isn’t kindergarten!
Flannery McCoy: It’s not, but Drake is really going to have to make sure he backs everything up in this match. He’s repeated the claim that Myles’ time at the top is done, and he truly believes that he will be the one to usher in the new future of EAW tonight.
(The Rolls-Royce comes to a stop upon making contact with the ring, prompting the Future to step out from the open roof and onto the hood of the car. From the hood, Drake easily walks right onto the apron before climbing onto the corner closest to the hard cam. He flaunts his physique atop the top turnbuckle with a self-aggrandizing pose before hopping down into the ring. Finally in the ring, the Future dismissively waves off his chauffeur, who completes his thankless job and drives the Rolls-Royce back up the ramp. As his theme song fades out, Drake Armstrong leans against his corner with a despicably cocky smirk, ready to begin the match.)
(‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi hits and the fans cheer. Soon, Myles emerges, with the championship firmly on his shoulder as he looks motivated as can be. Drake looks on, unmoved, while Myles keeps his focused gaze as he heads down the ramp, ready for this match.)
Stephie Love: Aaaaaaand his opponent! From Melbourse, Australia, weighing in tonight at 225 pounds, he is the current, reigning and defending EAW World Heavyweight Champion, and EAW Hall of Famer…. The Unparalleled, Undisputed, Unrivaled…. MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!
Stew-O: Here comes the champion who is more than ready for this fight. Drake placed a target on his back, and ever since then, things have escalated. Tonight, Myles seeks to garner a bit of revenge against Armstrong and to continue his run of dominance as he now enters month eight of being the world heavyweight champion.
Jake Mercer: A world champion’s world champion, and that is an honorifc that wasn’t bestowed onto him lightly. When you think of people who consistently dominate at the top, regardless of the competition, you think about this man right here, and that is why he has been solidified as a legendary talent here in EAW. The crazy part too is that there is no slowing down with him. Myles is just never going to stop, and with how things have been between himself and Drake, he definitely isn’t in the camp of letting his title reign end at the ends of The Future.
Flannery McCoy: Drake may have gotten the chance to revel in getting Myles upset a couple of times, but the Warlord is calm tonight, not letting emotions consume him. He knows the task that is at hand and he’s determined to ensure that he accomplishes that.
(Myles enters the ring, being privy to the landmines that have been laid out at ringside. He hands the championship over to the referee who raises it up high for everyone to see. Soon, ‘Enemy Strike’ fades, and the official calls for the bell!)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Main event is officially underway here as the bell rings, and this Landmine Deathmatch can get started! Drake Armstrong and Myles are both staring daggers into one another. This has been a bad-blood rivalry ever since Drake went out of his way to attack Myles and officially put him on notice. Everything comes to a head in this bout, where it is bound to get violent and absolutely ugly.
Jake Mercer: Ain’t no better way of settling some bitter scores than in a landmine deathmatch. As everyone can see, there are barbed wire-wrapped explosives set up at ringside, meaning that one bad fall or miscalculation could lead to brutal consequences for whoever winds up being the poor sap on the receiving end of them! The crowd here however are more than ready to see some blood being shed, and it looks like they won’t have to wait too long as Drake and Myles immediately charged at one another! This is going to get hot and heavy fast!
Flannery McCoy: Sure enough, punches are flying everywhere! Myles and Drake are matching each other’s aggression from early on as they both seek to gain the advantage here! Who is going to end up coming out on top in this exchange, though?!
Stew-O: Seems like it’s the defending champion who is beginning to pull away here as he catches Drake right in the face with a particularly-stiff punch! Armstrong seems a bit dazed by that, but Myles is able to follow up on it with a spinning kick straight to the abdomen! The challenger lurches forward, and the champion bounces off of the ropes, looking for a heavy boot to the side of the face!
Jake Mercer: But Drake sees it coming and is able to side-step, narrowly avoiding it! He shoots up back to an upright position and grabs Myles from behind, looking to lift him up with a German suplex—
Flannery McCoy: No! Myles lands on his feet! Drake whirls around and Myles clocks him with an uppercut! Then another! And another! He pushes Armstrong towards the ropes and rushes forward, looking for a knee—
Stew-O: But as Armstrong bounces from the ropes, he redirects himself, running to the right! He’s now charging towards Myles–
Jake Mercer: Who drops down right in front of him! The champion seems to be trying to trip him up — but Armstrong leaps over him! He stops and goes for a stomp, bringing all of that weight down!
Flannery McCoy: Myles rolls out of the way! Fast and furious action here as the champion pops up and immediately closes the distance, grabbing Drake and pulling him down and through with a double-armed arm drag! Drake takes a tumble forward and goes back up to his feet, but right there is the defending champion, who’s ready to take him down! Thrust kick to the face —
Stew-O: SCOUTED! DRAKE MANAGED TO CATCH THE ATTACKING FOOT! HE PULLS MYLES IN AND STARTS TO DRAG HIM TOWARDS THE ROPES, LOOKING TO SEND HIM UP AND OVER TOWARDS THE LANDMINES!
Jake Mercer: HOLY CRAP! HE’S ALREADY GOING FOR THE KILL RIGHT HERE!
Crowd: :damn: !!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT MYLES CLAPS HIM IN THE EARS WITH BOTH PALMS, AND THAT CAUSES DRAKE TO LET GO! HE STAGGERS BACKWARDS, AND THE CHAMPION RUSHES IN! CLOTHESLINE! ARMSTRONG GOES DOWN!
(Myles takes a brief glimpse to the outside, seeing the landmines scattered around the ringside area. There’s no doubt that he narrowly avoided disaster, especially when the match is still early. He takes an internal sigh of relief and focuses back on Drake, who was starting to recover.)
Stew-O: I’m sure Myles is glad that he was able to avoid getting launched. Had that happened, this match would already be nearing its conclusion! However, the champion has been able to remain one step ahead of his gutsy challenger, and he looks to keep the pressure up as he delivers the sharp point of his elbow onto the top of Drake’s head! Armstrong winces, but Myles goes for another blow, landing that one as well! He grabs him by the wrist and whips him into the corner! Now, Myles gets a running start and leaps, connecting with a forearm to the face! He pushes Armstrong forward, scales the middle rope, and he comes flying through the air with a knee to the back of the head! Wow! Great series of offensive manuvers there by Myles as he takes Armstrong down!
Jake Mercer: When Myles gets the ball rolling, it gets increasingly, and I truly do mean *increasingly* hard to stop him. He’s just the sort of Elitst who knows how to keep going and lay in the beating, but then again, when you’re a world champion’s world champion, you know exactly what it takes to remain at the top above everyone else. As much as I am a fan of Mr. Armstrong, his inexperience especially in comparison to the hall of famer is going to stick out like a sore thumb, and Myles seeks to exploit it in anyway that he can. Myles grabs him by the head and forces him to rise to his knees… only to grab both of his arms and land a stiff knee straight to the face! No holding back whatsoever!
Flannery McCoy: Aggressive and impactul, Myles isn’t playing any games, especially with how intense things have gotten between him and Armstrong. With him down, Myles mounts him and begins to pummel him with various lefts and rights!
Stew-O: Armstrong is still lucid enough to try and defend himself against those hits, but many of them are still sneaking in and striking him! And now, Myles gets up, all while leading him up to his feet, but it isn’t out of the kindness of his own heart. Myles sends him running into the corner again before rushing to him and DRIVING his shoulder into his stomach! He gains some separation before thrusting his shoulder into him again, right in the same spot! Armstrong sinks down into a seated position and Myles goes to the opposite corner, having a sizeable distance between himself and his foe. He gets a running start, and HE COMES CHARGING IN WITH THE DOUBLE KNEES, GETTING READY TO CRUSH DRAKE ARMSTRONG—
Jake Mercer: BUT INSTEAD, HIS KNEES GO CRASHING INTO THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING! DRAKE WITH THE AWARENESS WAS ABLE TO GET OUTTA DODGE! MYLES STUMBLES BACKWARDS, BUT RIGHT BEHIND HIM IS DRAKE WHO CHOPS HIM DOWN TO SIZE WITH AN ATTACK TO THE BACK OF HIS RIGHT LEG! MYLES GOES DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: Drake was able to find a way to turn the tables on the EAW World Heavyweight Champion, and the fans boo, not at all pleased as everyone here is firmly behind Myles. However, Drake saw his opening and took it. Now, a smug smirk graces his face as he looks down at the champion.
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) Tsk, tsk, tsk… such a hot-head. Surely you didn’t think your impulsive nature was going to work out for much longer, did you?
Stew-O: Some jaw-jacking here from the challenger as he seemingly taunts Myles, but not without taking action along the way as he presses his foot into that knee, digging into it. Myles grits his teeth, feeling that sharp sensation of pain travelling throughout that limb. However, he doesn’t lay there helpless as he uses his left foot to kick at Drake’s leg – and Armstrong manages to fall backwards! Myles works his way up and shakes out his leg, making sure that it isn’t too damaged. Once he ascertains that everything is fine, he walks straight towards Armstrong and — OH NO! DRAKE PULLS HIM DOWN BY HIS TRUNKS AND TRIPS HIM, CAUSING MYLES TO CRASH AGAINST THE ROPES! AND IT LOOKS LIKE HIS THROAT HIT IT! THE CHAMPION FLAILS AROUND IN PAIN!
Jake Mercer: Another crucial evasion there by Armstrong, and this time, Myles could very well be in trouble! He’s coughing and wheezing, holding onto his throat! He gets to his knees and tries to come to a stand, but right there is Drake who straight-up wacks him over the back with a stuff forearm! That causes Myles to seize up in pain! Armstrong grabs him and leads him over into the corner, where he continues to fire off with more of those forearms directed at that area! He’s doing everything he can to continue to severely weaken the champion here in this match!
Flannery McCoy: Drake’s not losing any steam here, either! He lands one last forearm before he grabs Myles by the right ankle and angles it onto the middle rope. Drake leaps up and STOMPS DOWN ON IT! OH MY GOODNESS! MYLES FALLS TO THE CANVAS! MYLES CLUTCHES THAT ANKLE AND LOOKS TO ROLL AWAY SO THAT HE CAN GET A CHANCE TO RECOVER! HOWEVER, ARMSTRONG IS PURSUING HIM, AND HE BRINGS HIM UP BEFORE SLAMMING HIM BACK DOWN WITH A WICKED DRAGON LEG SCREW!
Stew-O: And that was an uncomfortable angle! No doubt there’s some budding discomfort now as Drake Armstrong has a clear plan of attack against Myles here!
Jake Mercer: Well, I guess I spoke too soon about his inexperience. Obviously, by attacking the leg, Drake is making sure that Myles won’t hit some of his patented moves, like ‘Victoria’ or the ‘Draco Meteor’! Depending on how much damage the Aceslayer accumulates here as well, he may have to drastically switch up his approach and style, which could work against him.
Flannery McCoy: Speaking of calculated attacks, Drake grabs hold of that leg and locks in an ankle pick! He’s absolutely trying to take out one of the things that makes Myles so dangerous inside of the ring for anyone he faces! However, Myles isn’t making it easy! He immediately sits up and takes a wild swing at him! The punch lands! Drake almost looks insulted by that, and he takes it upon himself to tighten the hold and really wring that ankle, applying as much pressure as humanly possible in the process! That seems to get to Myles as you can see his face begin to contort in pain!
Stew-O: But even with the troubling predicament he’s in, Myles is trying to fight his way out of this! He once again sits up and punches Drake right in the face! And the challenger lets go, frustrated, and grabs him by the ankle, looking to drag him – and Myles takes advantage with a kick to the face! And ANOTHER kick! Drake backs off, holding onto his nose!
Jake Mercer: Myles gets up, being privy to the ankle, and charges towards Drake – LARIAT! MYLES GETS TURNED INSIDE OUT WITH THAT ONE, HOLY SHIT!
Flannery McCoy: Drake was able to take the champion out, and he has all the advantage in the world right now! He grins and stretches his arms out, all while the fans boo down on him like hellfire! However, I don’t think Armstrong seems to care! He shakes his head as he looks at Myles and grabs his wrist, leading him back up to his feet…
Stew-O: And he strikes Myles in the chest with a stiff chop! Another chop lands! A third one hits it mark, and now, Drake pulls the champion in and lifts him up! Looks like he could be going for a suplex here, or a brainbuster!
Jake Mercer: But Myles is able to quickly snuff out that idea by bringing his left knee down onto Drake’s forehead! He does it again, striking him multiple times, and that causes him to back down and let go of him! Myles is able to get free! The champion comes in, going for a bicycle knee—
Flannery McCoy: — ONLY TO END UP IN DRAKE ARMSTRONG’S GRASP! HE LIFTS HIM UP – KNEEBREAKER! MYLES GOES DOWN, HOLDING ONTO THE RIGHT KNEE, AND DRAKE ONCE AGAIN IS BACK ON TOP!
Stew-O: Smug as can be, too. He circles around the champion, acting as though he isn’t impressed at all with what he has been dealing with thus far!
Jake Mercer: If there’s one thing Drake Armstrong is never short of – besides money – it’s confidence. Right now, he has firm control over the situation at hand. Drake walks over to the ropes and reaches over, seemingly going for a weapon… and it seems like the barbed-wire bat is his choice for destruction tonight! Even a classy guy like him has no qualms with getting some blood on his hands in order to get the job done!
Flannery McCoy: Well, given the nature of this match, there is no room for being squeamish, and of course, this isn’t the first time Drake has been in a hardcore-based match, though this one is likely the most intense one. Either way, Drake strolls towards Myles who is trying to find his way back into this bout!
Stew-O: And with a devilish glint in his eyes, Armstrong approaches the champion with nothing but cruel intentions! The challenger gets ready to swing as he raises the bat! HE SLAMS IT ONTO MYLES!
Jake Mercer: … BUT HE HITS NOTHING BUT THE CANVAS! MYLES ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY! DRAKE SEES THIS AND KNITS HIS BROWS, ANNOYED AS CAN BE!
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) Stay still, you stupid little pest..!
Flannery McCoy: ANOTHER SWING… AND A MISS! MYLES WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT ONE! DRAKE STORMS TOWARDS HIM AND GOES FOR ANOTHER HIT, BUT HE MISSES THAT ONE! AND THAT ONE AS WELL! MYLES GOES TO THE APRON AND USES HIS LEFT FOOT TO SWEEP ARMSTRONG BY THE LEGS! IT WORKS! MYLES USES THE ROPES TO HELP PULL HIMSELF UP AND SLINGSHOTS HIS WAY BACK INTO THE RING – EXECUTING A SINGL-FOOT STOMP! ALL OF THAT WEIGHT LANDS RIGHT ON DRAKE’S STOMACH! THAT JUST HAD TO HURT!
Stew-O: No doubt about it! Myles was able to outsmart the challenger, and now, he takes it upon himself to snatch the barbed-wire bat away from his hands! Myles wastes no time and goes to hit him!
Jake Mercer: But now Drake is the one who is able to get away as he tries to roll away! He manages to get to a kneeling position and catches Myles with a back elbow to the gut! Armstrong rises and reaches over, trying to wrestle the bat away from him —
Flannery McCoy: HEADBUTT FROM MYLES! THAT CRACKED HIM RIGHT IN THE FOREHEAD! DRAKE STUMBLES BACKWARDS BEFORE FALLING DOWN RIGHT ON HIS REAR! MYLES SITUATES THE BAT HORIZONTALLY IN THE CORNER AND GRABS DRAKE, BRINGING HIM TOWARDS IT! HE HOLDS HIM BY THE HEAD AND PUSHES HIM FORWARD—
Stew-O: DRAKE STOPS HIMSELF SHORT! HIS FOREHEAD IS UNCOMFORTABLY CLOSE TO THE BARBED WIRE THAT’S WRAPPED AROUND THE BAT! HOWEVER, HIS HANDS ARE ON THE ROPES, PREVENTING HIM FROM TOUCHING IT! MYLES TRIES TO SHOVE HIM INTO IT AGAIN, BUT IT’S NO USE–
Jake Mercer: LOW BLOW! LOW BLOW! DRAKE ARMSTRONG KICKED BACKWARDS, HITTING MYLES RIGHT IN THE GROIN! THE CHAMPION STAGGERS BACK, TRYING TO REGAIN HIMSELF–
Flannery McCoy: YET DRAKE IS ABLE TO PAVE THE WAY FOR HIM TO GRAB THE BAT AND HIT MYLES OVER THE HEAD WITH IT! :damn: !!!
Stew-O: OH, NO!!! MYLES GETS HIT IN THE FOREHEAD WITH IT, AND HE GOES DOWN! THE CROWD LOOKS ON IN SHOCK! DRAKE BREATHES HEAVILY AS HE LOOKS AT THE CHAMPION… AND SURE ENOUGH, MYLES HAS BEEN BUSTED OPEN FROM THAT SHOT!
Jake Mercer: I have a feeling that it’s only going to get a lot worse from here on out… :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: It will, as Drake grabs Myles and *digs* into his forehead with the bat, trying to open up that wound even more! And it looks like he’s getting a sick thrill from this as well! Myles is doing his best to try and fight back, but Drake isn’t letting up at all! He pulls away only to hit Myles with the bat again! And he strikes once more, only this time, he caught him on the back!
Stew-O: More wounds are starting to form on the champion as he’s taking these brutal hits to the flesh unprotected! Armstrong twirls the bat in his hands before he tosses it aside. He mounts Myles, and punches him right on the forehead, causing more blood to pour out! This is just getting nasty!
Jake Mercer: His fist is getting bloodied! He’s hammering away, and no one can stop him! Drake is just having his way with Myles right now!
Flannery McCoy: And the fans are not liking this one bit. Their vitriol against Drake only continues to get louder and moe audible the more this carries on. Drake *finally* gets up from Myles, but it’s not out of courtesy, far from it. He grabs the champion and drops him down with a brutal-looking snap DDT that spikes him on his head! Myles flops down to the canvas!
Stew-O: So far, so good for “The Future” who seeks to carve out a new era here in EAW with him exclusively at the top of it – and if he keeps this up, he just might be able to do it!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, this could end in his favor. Drake pulls Myles up and shoves him into the corner before reaching into his trunks – and sure enough, he pulls out the Armstrong ring! He places it on his finger, getting ready! He heads over to Myles and fires off—
Flannery McCoy: NO! KICK TO THE GUT! MYLES STILL HAS SOME FIGHT IN HIM!
Stew-O: And that definitely caught Armstrong by surprise! He looks more shocked than in pain! He snarls and storms towards Myles, only to walk straight into another kick! Drake nearly drops to a knee from the force of that, but he gets back up and heads over to Myles once again, looking to kill whatever fire that may be still roaring within him —
Jake Mercer: EYE RAKE! EYE RAKE! MYLES CAUGHT HIM WITH THAT, AND DRAKE STAGGERS WILDY, NOT EXPECTING THAT ONE BIT! HE DEFINITELY ISN’T SCARED ABOUT GETTING DIRTY!
Flannery McCoy: Definitely a form of karma too due to Drake’s own dirty tactic from earlier! The world heavyweight champion climbs to the top and waits patiently for Drake to turn back towards him! He does! Myles takes off – MISSILE DROPKICK! THAT LANDS PRETTY MUCH PERFECTLY, AND ARMSTRONG GOES BARRELING DOWN! MYLES HAS THE CHANCE TO MOUNT A MUCH-NEEDED COMEBACK HERE!
Stew-O: He knows it, too, as he takes the opportunity right in front of him to mount Drake and pummel him with punches! The crowd comes alive as he takes out every bit of rage out onto Armstrong! Drake can barely defend himself from many of these attacks! Myles isn’t backing down!
Jake Mercer: He certainly isn’t, and that means bad news for Armstrong as Myles is finding his footing again! Myles takes the bat and props it into the corner! He gets up and drags him along, propping him on his shoulders! He goes running – AND HE DRILLS ARMSTRONG INTO THE CORNER WITH THE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! FULL FORCE AND EVERYTHING!
Flannery McCoy: YEAH, HE COMPLETELY CRUSHED HIM WITH THAT! DRAKE PRACTICALLY COLLAPSES, AND YOU CAN SEE THE BLOOD COMING OUT OF HIS OWN BACK! THE BARBED-WIRE BAT HAS BEEN BROKEN IN HALF!
Stew-O: FLESH FOR FLESH! NOW, MYLES WALKS OVER AND PICKS UP ONE OF THE CHAIRS, WHICH HAS SHARDS OF GLASS ATTACHED TO IT! HE WALKS OVER TO DRAKE – *BANG*! CHAIR SHOT TO THE EXPOSED BACK!
Jake Mercer: LOOK AT THIS! MYLES IS *GRINDING* THE CHAIR INTO HIS SPINE, CAUSING EVEN MORE DAMAGE! OH GOD, I HOPE CHARLES IS ADEPT AT PICKING OUT GLASS SHARDS FROM THE SKIN, BECAUSE DRAKE IS GOING TO NEED ALL OF THE ASSISTANCE HE CAN GET ONCE THIS MATCH IS DONE AND OVER WITH!
Flannery McCoy: HE MAY NEED A LOT MORE HELP THAN THAT! MYLES RAISES THE CHAIR AGAIN AND SLAMS IT DOWN ON HIM! NOW, HE WALKS OVER TO THE FRONT AND PROPS DRAKE’S FACE DOWN ON IT! ARMSTRONG LOOKS LIKE HE’S OUT! BUT WHAT DOES MYLES HAVE IN MIND HERE?!
Stew-O: I have no idea, but it’s clear that the champion has something in mind! Drake is trying to raise himself up, planting his palms into the canvas, but you can see how much pain he is in! It has to feel like a taxing endevour for him to move at all at this rate! Unfortunately for him, Myles has him in his crosshairs, and he charges forward —
Jake Mercer: – CONNECTING WITH A CURB STOMP?!!
Flannery McCoy: CURB STOMP SENDS DRAKE’S FACE SPIKING INTO THE GLASS SHARDS OF THE CHAIR! AND THE FANS ARE GOING CRAZY, EXACTLY KNOWING WHO MYLES TOOK THAT MOVE FROM!
Stew-O: Myles was also able to perform it with his good leg! He comes down a little awkwardly from the landing, but at the very least, he’s being careful as to not put too much pressure on the right side of his leg! Myles looks down at Drake who seems to be in bad shape —
Jake Mercer: …?!! DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS STILL TRYING TO MOVE, THOUGH!
(And so, Drake uses his waning strength to press up. However, the sight is horrific. Dozens of shards pieces are stuck to his right side of his face, with blood quickly trickling and dripping. Based on Armstrong’s expression, he is equally dismayed and angered.)
(However, Myles does not give a damn. He walks over to the front of him and crouches down.)
Myles: (off-mic) Welcome to the real world, cunt, where your status means *little* in *MY* domain.
Flannery McCoy: And Myles is returning the favor, talking some smack before LANDING A BRUTAL KICK DIRECTLY INTO THAT SIDE OF DRAKE’S FACE THAT’S EMBEDDED WITH THOSE SHARDS! ARMSTRONG CRIES OUT AS MORE BLOOD GUSHES FROM HIS FACE!
Stew-O: BUT MYLES ISN’T DONE! HE WALKS OVER AND TRAPS DRAKE’S LEGS AROUND HIS BEFORE GRABBING HIS ARMS, AND HE PROCEEDS TO STOMP THE BACK OF HIS HEAD REPEATEDLY, ALL WHILE CAUSING HIS FACE TO HIT THE MAT AS WELL!
Jake Mercer: :damn: !!!
Flannery McCoy: Well, the good thing about being filthy rich is that you have all the money in the world to reconstruct your face. :wow:
Stew-O: Myles finally stops, but the damage may already have been done! Myles takes him up into the Canadian rack and twists it into a DDT! ‘Wrathful Daystar’!!
Jake Mercer: He got all of it! Myles grabs Drake and takes him over where he’s no doubt looking to send him through all of those explosives that are at ringside! It may be soon before long that we get one hell of a lights show in here!
Flannery McCoy: Myles is kinda having a hard time, though. That’s pretty much 245 pounds of dead weight right there. He’s trying to lift him up, but between his own injuries, the pain he’s feeling, and Drake pretty much being limp, he can’t really get there!
Stew-O: And you can see some frustration beginning to settle into the champion as he realizes this. He lets go, with Drake just falling down to the mat. Myles gathers his breath, looking for the next best course of action.
Jake Mercer: Seems like he’s deciding to just use his foot to kick and push Armstrong through the bottom rope and make him fall into the landmines! And it looks like it’s working! He’s getting closer and closer to sending Armstrong out—
(But suddenly, Myles screams out.)
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD! DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS… IS… *HE’S BITING HIM*!!!
Jake Mercer: WHAT?!
Stew-O: SHEER DESPERATION HERE AS DRAKE SINKS HIS TEETH INTO MYLES’ FLESH, AND THE CHAMPION BACKS OFF! BITE MARKS ARE APPARENT!
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD, AND DRAKE IS *USING THE RING TO DIG INTO THAT OPEN WOUND!* MYLES FALLS BACK AND KICKS AWAY AT HIM WITH HIS FREE FOOT! HE MANAGES TO GET DRAKE TO LET GO, BUT LOOK AT THAT! THAT SHIT IS GNARLY!
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE HAD TO DO SOMETHING TO GET MYLES TO STOP, AND IT WORKED! NOW, DRAKE WORKS HIS WAY BACK UP TO HIS FEET, STRUGGLING SOMEWHAT, BUT HE’S GETTING A MOVE ON!
Stew-O: DRAKE IS UP AND HE IMMEDIATELY DRIVES THE HEEL OF HIS BOOT INTO THAT WOUND, GRINDING INTO IT! MYLES YELLS OUT! DRAKE CARRIES ON, NOT AT ALL LOOKING TO SPARE THE CHAMPION!
Jake Mercer: IT’S LIKE A WHOLE DIFFERENT SIDE TO THE FUTURE HAS BEEN UNLOCKED IN THIS MATCH! WE’RE WITNESSING SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY! THERE ARE NO DEPTHS TOO FAR FOR HIM TO DELVE INTO, AND WE ARE SEEING THAT WILLINGNESS TO BRING ABOUT AS MUCH HARM AS POSSIBLE UNFOLD RIGHT BEFORE OUR VERY EYES!
Flannery McCoy: Drake delivers a harsh stomp before grabbing that hurt ankle and dragging Myles towards the center! He gets in an ankle lock, but look! Hes using his knuckles to dig into that wounded area as well! That has got to be absolutely excruciating for Myles! It doesnt matter how resilient or tough of an Elitist you are, having to endure something like that is going to be painful!
Stew-O: Some of the fans here are watching on in complete disgust as this display! However, Myles knows he has to do something and fast before this compounds and becomes too much! The champion hobbles onto his other foot… and he’s able to roll forward, causing Drake to do the same! THE HOLD HAS BEEN LOST! MYLES GETS UP—
Jake Mercer: – ONLY TO GET ABSOLUTELY LEVELLED WITH THE ‘HALBRED FROM HELL’! DRAKE ARMSTRONG SENDS MYLES DOWN, AND WE COULD VERY WELL HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!
Flannery McCoy: MYLES IS SERIOUSLY HURTING HERE! DRAKE GRABS HOLD OF HIM AND PLACES HIM UP ON HIS SHOULDERS! IT’S OBVIOUS WHERE IS SIGHTS ARE SET ON! HE WALK OVER AND GETS READY TO DUMP MYLES INTO THE LANDMINES!!
Stew-O: HE TOSSES HIM OUT!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Jake Mercer: … NO! MYLES HANGS ON! HE HAS HOLD OF THE ROPES, HIS FEET DANGLING AS HE WAS ABLE TO COME TO HIS SENSES RIGHT IN THE NICK OF TIME!
Flannery McCoy: HE’S ABLE TO SAVE HIMSELF, AND DRAKE IS NOT AMUSED WHATSOEVER! HE GOES OVER TO MYLES AND IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO PRY HIS FINGERS OFF OF THE ROPES…!
Stew-O: AND HE TARGETS THE RING FINGER! THE SAME RING FINGER THAT JAMIE O’HARA WENT AFTER AT PAIN FOR PRIDE! DRAKE IS DOING ALL HE CAN TO WRENCH IT BACK, TRYING TO GET MYLES TO LET GO—
Jake Mercer: BUT MYLES IS ABLE TO ROLL BACK INTO THE RING – ONLY TO BE MET WITH A SERIES OF FURIOUS STOMPS FROM HIS OPPONENT! DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS RAINING HELLFIRE DOWN ONTO THE CHAMPION!
Flannery McCoy: Drake continues to rally here as he’s desperate for this win! However, Myles has not backed down a single second! Armstrong lifts him up into a gutwrench powerbomb! He turns his attention back over to the glass-covered chair that Myles had used on him earlier! He gets a running start and he goes for the attack—
Stew-O: BUT MYLES SPINS AROUND AND TURNS IT A HURRICANRANA, SENDING DRAKE TO LAND HIS BACK ONTO THE SHARDS!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Jake Mercer: THIS MATCH IS INSANE! DRAKE CRIES OUT IN SHOCK AS HE IS ONCE AGAIN A VICTIM OF GLASS! HE WORKS HIS WAY BACK UP TO HIS FEET, HIS FACE STUCK IN A SHOCKED EXPRESSION AS WAVES OF PAIN ARE NO DOUBT CRIPPLING HIS BODY AT THIS RATE! HE TURNS TOWARDS MYLES — WHO DAMN-NEAR TAKES HIS HEAD CLEAN OFF WITH ONE HELL OF A RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE! DRAKE IS DOWN ONCE AGAIN, WHILE THE CHAMPION IS UP!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, but just barely! Drake took just as much out of him as he did to him! Then again, this was to be expected! At least now, Myles has the upper hand, but he has to finish this!
Stew-O: No doubt that is in the mind of the champion. He’s ready to end Drake Armstrong once and for all! He scoops him up, looking for the ‘De Facto’!!
Jake Mercer: No! Drake manages to slip from his grasp! Armstrong takes hold of Myles – HAMMERLOCK BACKSTABBER! THAT CAUGHT HIM COMPLETELY BY SURPRISE!
Flannery McCoy: And Drake now uses his feet to shove Myles down onto the mat before running in – DOUBLE STOMP TO THE BACK! DRAKE SEES RED AS HE GRABS THE GLASS-SHARD CHAIR AND THWACKS HIM OVER THE BACK WITH IT! HE CONTINUES TO DO IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN, NOT LETTING UP! MYLES’ BACK IS GETTING ALL KINDS OF CUT UP HERE!
Stew-O: Drake continues the assault by placing the chair on his back and GETTING RIGHT ON IT! HE’S USING HIS BODY WEIGHT TO PRESS DOWN ONTO MYLES! THE CHAMPION DIGS HIS NAIL INTO THE CANVAS, TRYING TO CRAWL AWAY, BUT IT’S NO USE! DRAKE HAS HIM TRAPPED!
Jake Mercer: And Drake delivers another double foot stomp for good measure! He takes the chair and flings it off of Myles! He yanks him up and sends him crashing down onto the knee with a backbreaker! Myles rolls away, clutching that area… my God, just look at all of those cuts and all of that blood! This ring is a complete mess at this rate!
Flannery McCoy: It certainly is! The referee steps in to see if Myles can even continue! Again, the outcome is decided by whether or not one of these Elitists is able to continue!
Stew-O: And the official looks at Myles, asking him if he can press on!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Jake Mercer: … and the champion looks at them, giving a nod! Myles is still willing to fight!
Flannery McCoy: Oh, boy. Drake looks like he’s about to blow a fuse at this rate. :lupe:
(Myles, pain consuming him, does his best to drag himself towards one of the sides of the ring, more than likely having his eyes set on getting a weapon. However, a hand grabs him by his bloodied ankle, stopping him short of continuing.)
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) And where do you think you’re going?
Myles: (off-mic) … Me? Oh, I’m not going anywhere… I’m just trying to find a way to completely destroy you…
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) Destroy *me*? :mjlol: And yet, look at you and look at me. I have you dead to rights. Your worthless little reign will come to its end.
(Drake grabs Myles, forcing him onto his feet.)
Stew-O: Drake has Myles and brings him out onto his shoulders! He makes way for the corner where he begins to climb up. You… you don’t think he’s planning on launching Myles into the landmines from all the way up *there*, do you?
Jake Mercer: I would not put it past him if he’s thinking of doing that!
Flannery McCoy: Judging by the fans’ reactions as well, I’m pretty sure they think the same way! This is going to be horrible!
(Sure enough, Drake was at the top with a weakened Myles. A cruel glint in his eye sparkles as he realizes he is mere seconds away from winning his first world championship. With Myles in the state that he is in, everyone in the arena watches on as they are on the cusp of a seismic shift.)
(Drake chuckles.)
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) Any last words?
Myles: (off-mic) …
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) … Hmph. So be it.
Stew-O: Drake has Myles right where he wants him! Armstrong sets him up—
Jake Mercer: – AND HE GOES CRASHING DOWN!
Crowd: :damn: !!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Flannery McCoy: He’s… he’s…!
Stew-O: ## OUT! DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS DOWN ON THE MAT AS MYLES REVERSED, NAILING A VARIANT OF THE ‘CLOCKWORK ORANGE’!!!
Jake Mercer: WHAT THE HELL?!! HOW ON EARTH DID HE DO THAT!!?
(**REPLAY** — At the top, just as Drake was getting rid to throw Myles into the landmines, Myles is able to lace one of his legs around Drake’s and executes the abdominal stretch driver, or at least a move similar to it, made famous by his legendary wife, Minerva. Drake goes crashing down, with the back of his head concerningly hitting the mat hard. It isn’t pretty, but it’s effective, and Myles was able to avoid a bitter end in this match and for his world heavyweight championship.)
(Back to the live feed, Myles is down on the mat, doing his best to recover. Meanwhile, Drake is slow to lift his head up. The fans cheer, before noticing that the back of Drake’s head has been busted open as a result of the gnarly fall.)
Jake Mercer: HOLY SHIT!
Flannery McCoy: Oh my God…
Stew-O: Wow…
Jake Mercer: I-I… uh… I think this match should end to be honest, I don’t know about y’all………………..
Flannery McCoy: It probably should, but somehow, both Myles and Drake are beginning to move, bloodied and banged up as they may be, and I don’t think either one of them is going to be content with willingly giving up. Not with what is at stake here, and not with how personal this match is. Still, something has to give here because neither of them are going to be able to continue for much longer at this rate.
Stew-O: Blood loss, cuts, wounds, everything you can imagine, they both have it. That’s just a testament to the absolute war this has been ever since the bell rang. This may be one of the most violent and gruesome matches we’ve had in EAW all year; hell, in the history of Reckless Wiring! Myles and Drake have certainly pushed each other to the limit, and now, as they both *somehow* manage to get back to their feet, they’re ready to do it all over again!
Jake Mercer: Well, they’re up… and Myles is the first to make his move as he throws a punch to Armstrong! It connects! Drake staggers, but he responds with a punch of his own! At this rate, there’s not much power behind those hits, but that’s not stopping either of them from getting at each other!
Flannery McCoy: More punches are thrown! No doubt the adrenaline and just the sheer hatred these two have for one another are what’s propelling them to keep going, along with the EAW World Heavyweight Championship hanging in the balance! Drake and Myles continue to attack each other— but Drake catches Myles with a big boot! Myles goes stumbling backwards into the ropes and comes back on the unintended rebounded, and that’s where Drake scoops him up, looking for another move!
Stew-O: However, he doesn’t get the opportunity as Myles lands behind him and pushes him into the corner! Drake is there, and Myles with a hobbled jog comes in — knee to the face! Again, making sure he uses the left leg as that one isn’t as badly damaged as the right! Drake staggers forward, and Myles grabs him, looking to lift him up into a suplex position!
Jake Mercer: But Drake pokes him right in the eyes! Myles lets go! Armstrong charges forward, looking for that dropkick again!!
Flannery McCoy: NO! MYLES AT THE LAST SECOND MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! DRAKE GOES DOWN, BUT HE GETS BACK UP, EVEN WITH HOW WEAK HE IS FROM THE BLOOD LOSS, AND GOES TO ATTACK WITH A LARIAT – ONLY FOR MYLES TO KICK AT THE ATTACKING ARM! DRAKE CHARGES!
Stew-O: MYLES SIDESTEPS! HE GRABS DRAKE, LOOKING TO LIFT HIM UP—
Jake Mercer: BUT DRAKE KICKS AT THE RIGHT KNEE, AND MYLES BUCKLES! DRAKE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A HIGH KNEE STRAIGHT TO THE BRIDGE OF HIS NOSE! AND WHAT A STIFF SHOT THAT WAS! HE MAY AS WELL HAVE CRACKED HIS NOSE OPEN FROM THAT!
Flannery McCoy: And Myles looks absolutely exhausted… that could very well be it for his rally. Myles is down. Drake can barely stand on his own two feet. However, Armstrong is standing, and he sneers down at the champion.
Stew-O: Myles can only drag his body at this rate. He brings himself near the ropes, but Drake follows behind.
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) So much for me not being ready, huh, Myles?
(Drake lurches closer and closer to the down champion.)
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) All your talk about realtiies and truth… yet are you finally ready to see a world where you’re no longer above anyone and you are very much below me?
Myles: (off-mic) … The only one who can’t accept reality is you.
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) :comeagain: Me? And why’s that?
Myles: (off-mic) Because you’re too much of a pretentious jackass to see you that victory is still very much far away from you?
Drake Armstrorng: (off-mic) :mjlol: !!! Alright, Myles, I hear you—
Stew-O: WHOA! MYLES THREW SOMETHING AT DRAKE!
(…)

Jake Mercer: … Uh, where did it go, though? Did he miss?
Flannery McCoy: He completely whiffed that. :lupe:
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) Pitiful. Absolutely pitiful.
Myles: (off-mic) Is it, though?
(Suddenly, the fans get loud as something comes towards Drake from behind.)
Stew-O: WAIT A MINUTE!! IS THAT A—
Jake Mercer: !!!
Flannery McCoy: :damn: !!!
Jake Mercer: HE DOESN’T SEE IT!
(Hearing the sudden commotion, Drake Armstrong turns his head—)
(# BOOM!!!)
Crowd: :damn: :damn: :damn: :damn: :damn:
Stew-O: ## IT WAS AN EXPLOSIVE BOOMERANG!!
(The weapon hit Drake right in the face and exploded on impact. He lets out a guttual, painful scream, shrieking out as he stumbles backwards out onto apron.)
Jake Mercer: WHAT THE FUCK?!! MYLES CAUGHT HIM WITH THAT! SPARKS AND SMOKE ARE EVERYWHERE! DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS DAZED AND CLUTCHING AT HIS FACE!
Flannery McCoy: AND MYLES SEES HIS OPPORTUNITY! HE BAITED HIM IN! HE GETS OUT ON THE APRON, AND WITH HIS LAST REMANING STRENGTH, HE HOISTS DRAKE UP….!!!
(# CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!)
(# KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!)
Stew-O: ‘DE FACTO’ ONTO THE LANDMINES!!!
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD! LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE EXPLOSIVES GOING OFF!!! DRAKE ARMSTRONG JUST GOT FUCKING FRIED!!!
Flannery McCoy: AND THE OFFICIAL GETS NEAR, CHECKING ON HIM!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Stew-O: THAT IS IT! THIS MATCH IS OVER!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Enemy Strike’ hits. Myles, completely exhausted, gets back in the ring and collapses onto his knees.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner…. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand STILL the EAW World Heavyweight Champion, MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYLLLLLLLEEEEEEEES!!!
Stew-O: WHAT A FIGHT! MY GOODNESS! MYLES WAS ABLE TO TAKE DRAKE ARMSTRONG DOWN IN EMPHATIC FASHION HERE TONIGHT WITH AN INSANE LANDMINE DEATHMATCH! THIS HAS GOT TO BE ARGUABLY THE MOST VIOLENT MATCH HE HAS EVER BEEN IN HIS CAREER, BUT HE WAS ABLE TO PULL THROUGH AND MAINTAIN HIS THRONE AT THE TOP HERE ON DYNASTY!
Jake Mercer: I’m in awe! In shock! We have never witnessed anything like this before!
Flannery McCoy: Neither have I! Myles retains after a gruesome war, and while Drake Armstrong came close to victory, he fell short of what he wanted… literally. :lupe:
Stew-O: All congratulations goes to Myles who continues to be at the top here on Dynasty! And with that, Reckless Wiring comes to an end. Thank you for all of you for tuning in! We’ll be seeing you next week LIVE for Friday Night Dynasty!
(Myles is given the championship. Slowly and achingly, he rises to his feet. He raises it up with one arm. Meanwhile, medical staff are tending to Drake Armstrong. The final shot shows Myles in triumph before the broadcast ends.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
