(EAW intro plays…)
(The scene comes to life with various screens, all blooming with static lines and crackles. Digital fonts spray across the virtual canvas where multiple matches throughout Reckless Wiring’s history are shown off.)
Narrator: The power invested in people is a powerful thing. When choice is presented, it can lead to triumph, or tragedy. Yet, many Elitists are willing to take that risk, allowing for you to choose their fates in the pursuit of glory…
(Effy and Mia are shown on one screen, staring down each other with eyes pierced and tempers frayed like a live wire. Another shows of David Gideon Smith, Shio Corn and SORN, yelling amongst themselves.)
Narrator: Perhaps that choice can play in the favor of those who wish to subdue their pesky rival, rooting them out like a virus entirely…
(Michael Machina, Limmy Monaghan and Drake King appear in a separate one, brawling in a violent three-way dance. Brian Daniels points at Charlie Marr, who backs up on the ramp with a smirk. Holly Arrow, Grace de Luca and KASAI all side-eye each other, looking to see who is going to make the first move as tensions heighten.)
Narrator: Or something that can lead them to gold, rather than disgrace…
(Fire & Ice stare down Hans Grayson and Drake Armstrong. BRAE and Kirk Redwood circle one another, ready to go.)
Narrator: Either way, you picked the cards…
(Cy Henderson and Methuselah glare during the contract signing, and the EAW World Heavyweight Championship glistens…)
Narrator: And they must be dealt.
(Each screen cuts off, one by one. Then, they spark to life one more time, with the words ‘Reckless Wiring’ and its accompanying logo being shown off in one….)
Narrator: And now, EAW and Dynasty in conjunction with Squid Games 3, presents: RECKLESS WIRING!
(https://i.imgur.com/7HFC23o.png)
(‘Bodies’ by Offset and JID blares out. Pyrotechnics light up the stage. The Seoul World Cup Stadium is packed to the brim as nearly 60,000 fans fill out the seats. They cheer, excited for the night that is to come.)
(The camera then cuts to commentary, where Stew-O, Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy are on standby at their desk.)
Stew-O: WE ARE HERE! SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA! IT IS TIME FOR RECKLESS WIRING! THANK YOU ALL FOR TUNING IN TONIGHT ON WHAT IS SURE TO BE AN ELECTRIC SHOW FROM TOP TO BOTTOM!
Jake Mercer: It sure will be, Stew! As always, the fans got to pick their desired stipulations for each match, and it’s going to be great to see which ones were chosen!
Flannery McCoy: There were a lot of good selections. However, we will see which match got to win out for each match, including our opening contest…
(The first matchcard of the night is shown off…)
(https://i.imgur.com/cgdx5gj.png)
(The camera transitions to Stephie Love, who is ready to announce the first match!)
Stephie Love: EAW Universe, the following contest, as chosen by you, is a Pick Your Vice match scheduled for…
Crowd: HAN BEON-UI CHULAG!!
Stephie Love: And it is for the EAW Specialists Championship!
(‘Psycho’ by That’s Outrageous! Hits. Effy McAvoy soon stalks out, looking around. A small, eerie smirk creeps along her face, and she heads down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challenger! From Watch Hill, Rhode Island, she is ‘The Omen’…. EEEEEFFYYYYYY MCAAAAVOOOOOOOOOYYYYYY!
Stew-O: And here comes Effy, who is intent on becoming Specialists Champion after earning the right to first challenge Mia Santoro after winning that fatal four-way. Things have gotten heated between herself and Mia, but Effy hasn’t backed down for a single second. She’s looking to burst the balloon of Santoro, and prove that all of this newfound ego is unfounded.
Jake Mercer: It’s gonna be a nasty match either way, regardless of whichever vice both women choose for themselves. They each pick a stipulation or handicap that they must follow. If they don’t? That’s an automatic loss.
Flannery McCoy: It is a unique match, and many fans wanted to see it, based on how it was almost unanimous. Maybe in spite of limitations, Effy can shut Mia up… or have to deal with the misfortune of losing to her.
(Effy gets in the ring, creeping along to the corner. Her head slowly lulls from side to side. Her smirk washes away. Eyes narrow to the crowd as ‘Cult Leader by KiNG MALA plays. The camera finds Mia Santoro in the crowd, with the Specialists Championship on her waist. She is pretending that they all love her. She is making a big show of it. She then enters through the crowd and stands on the barricade, soaking it all in. She rolls into the ring and then climbs the top turnbuckle, looking at the crowd with a smirk.)
Stephie Love: And the champion, from Key West, Florida, she is the current, reigning and defending EAW Specialists Champion… ‘The Obsession’, MIIIIIIIAAAA SAAAAANTOOOOROOOOO!
Stew-O: It’s been a gradual transition for Mia here, as she went from someone who wasn’t afforded much grace and respect to the 33rd Specialists Champion in EAW history.
Jake Mercer: It was put up or shit up time for Mia at Pain for Pride, and she got to win on the biggest stage possible — something that some of her critics haven’t even been able to do themselves! She might be conceited, and maybe a little delusional, but she also deserves to talk her bit of shit. Still, if people are unconvinced, then a title defense secured tonight can shut up any lingering doubts that may surround her name.
Flannery McCoy: It’s gonna be a fight, as both ladies have something to prove. Now, Mia is in the ring, and it’s time to find out which self-inflicted vice they both chose for themselves…
(Mia is in the ring, raising up the Specialists title. The referee takes it, and with a mic, they can be heard asking…)
Referee: Alright. Mia, what is your vice?
(Mia grins.)
Mia Santoro: The only weapon I’ll use is a deck of cards.
Crowd: :lupe:
Stew-O: Huh. A unique caveat, especially as a bit of a throwback to her old, gambling ways as ‘La Desperada’. Perhaps this is the last time she’ll be able to tap into that side of hers as she seeks to grow a new skin.
Referee: Alright. And Effy, what about you?
(Effy has a grin of her own.)
Effy McAvoy: I can’t go outside of the ring.
Crowd: :roman:
Jake Mercer: ….
Jake Mercer: Uh, respectfully, did she forgot what show she’s on, or……………………………..?
(Even the referee looks a bit surprised by that. Mia chokes down a laugh. Effy, however, remains certain of her decision.)
Flannery McCoy: That’s a major risk! Whereas Mia is limited to a specific kind of weapon, at least she’d be able to utilize one! Can Effy truly maintain that?
(And with that….)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And here we go! Pick Your Vice is underway for the EAW Specialists Championship! Mia elected to only use playing cards as her form of weapons, while Effy chose to not leave the ring at all! Interesting stipulations for both women here, and with how tense things have gotten, you have to wonder how this is going to fare.
Jake Mercer: Yeah, but I don’t know — was Effy deciding to make that her vice smart? :lupe: This is Reckless Wiring after all where many of the matches can be anything goes. She had the chance to come up with something that may help her out a bit more beneficial to herself.
Flannery McCoy: Maybe Effy wants to prove that she isn’t a coward, a word she has used to call Mia frequently in the lead-up. She wants to send an emblematic message should she win tonight, whereas the champion is looking for her first successful defense at her expense. Can Mia prove that Effy is indeed a “one-hit wonder”, or will she be one of the few Elitists in company history to live on in infamy as one of the rare cases in which a champion loses a title without a single defense in?
Stew-O: We will find out soon enough as BOTH WOMEN RUSH IN, AND HERE WE GO, THEY’RE NOT WASTING ANY TIME! MIA AND EFFY ARE STRAIGHT-UP BRAWLING, AND THE FANS ARE LOVING THIS!
Crowd: FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Jake Mercer: Holy SMOKES! Nothing but forearms and punches! Now this is what you call a low-down, bare-knuckle, dragged-out fight! We don’t do none of that soft-ass shit here in EAW!
Flannery McCoy: We certainly don’t — and definitely not Mia, who is now rocking Effy with stiff blows to the body! Shot after shot lands! Effy is trying to keep her ground. She even swings a slap her way! However, Mia shoves her down with a stiff kick, and the champion mounts her! She rains down fists!
Stew-O: Mia with the slight height and weight advantage here, lending themselves to her able to keep McAvoy down. She comes down with more heavy clubs! Effy covers up, but Mia shoots up and snatches her ankle, dragging her toward the center— KICK OFF BY EFFY! The challenger manages to get out of harm’s way and scrambles to her feet!
Jake Mercer: But Mia JAMS her shoulder into her gut! Effy stumbles! Santoro now comes rushing in like a bull and THRUSTS HER INTO THE CORNER WITH THAT SAME SHOULDER! EFFY IS WEDGED!
Flannery McCoy: You can see how wide her eyes are from that! Mia with another shoulder thrust, and she pulls back! Punch to the head! Kick to the gut! Knee, after knee, after knee! Effy slinks down, and Mia stiffs her with a boot to the face! This is getting nasty, guys!
Jake Mercer: Don’t gotta tell us that, Flann! Wow! Maybe Effy’s words did get underneath Mia’s skin after all. She’s become a bit of a loose cannon as of late, even with her acting like the calm, cool cat of the women’s division. That temper is something viscous.
Stew-O: Certainly. On the flipside, however, it seems to be serving her rather than harm her. Effy is trying to recover as she seats in the corner, but Mia backs up. She points and yells!
Jake Mercer: Here we go! All abroad the Santoro Express, because she’s CHUGGING ON IN WITH A RUNNING FACE WASH!
Flannery McCoy: NO! Effy got out of the way in time! Mia’s foot just slipped through and now her leg is caught in between the ropes! She struggles to get out — AND EFFY SCOOPS HER DOWN WITH THE SPRINGBOARD SUNSET FLIP FROM THE SIDE! WOW!
Stew-O: Great execution there! Will it be enough to end this match early?!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWO—
Stew-O: No, as Mia kicks out shortly after the two count! Good athleticism by Effy there, but she’s gonna have to do way more than that — and she seems to understand that! With great haste does she pull the champion up, and DRIVES HER FACE DOWN ONTO HER KNEE! MIA DID NOT SEE THAT ONE COMING!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, I’m surprised she’s still on her two feet! Effy shoots up and nails a kick to the stomach, reciprocating the attack from earlier! Now, she slaps her several times, right and left, going ABSOLUTELY WILD! MIA’S GETTING THE TASTE KNOCKED OUTTA HER!
Flannery McCoy: Mia looks disorientated! Effy sees her chance! She comes in with an elbow—
Jake Mercer: — BUT IT MISSES IT TARGET! MIA WITH THE BACK THRUST KICK TO THE CHIN! DAMN!
Stew-O: Fast paced action here! Mia spins around and shoots toward her with a lariat — but EFFY DUCKS! SHE LEAPS UP, AND GRABS MIA BY THE HEAD, LOOKING FOR SOMETHING BIG!
Jake Mercer: BUT THAT SOMETHING BIG IS JUST A SPINNING SIDE SLAM! HOLY MOLY, WHAT A REVERSAL BY THE CHAMPION! MIA SCOUTED THAT OUT PERFECTLY!
Flannery McCoy: Santoro was able to get the timing right, and judging by the smirk crawling across her face, she knows it. The fans boo, but she doesn’t seem to care. She just walks toward the ropes and step out. Now, she’s on the apron. What does she have in store here..?
Stew-O: Something that may firmly turn the tides of this match into her favor. The champion’s eyes are all set on the challenger, who remains prone and in pain. Mia’s hands tighten around the tope rope. She leaps up — AND SLINGSHOTS HERSELF DOWN WITH A LEG DROP! OH, NO! SHE LANDED RIGHT ON EFFY’S THROAT!
Jake Mercer: :damn:
Flannery McCoy: This does NOT look good for Effy – ESPECIALLY with her shoulders being down on the mat as Mia reached over to hook one of her legs! Pin attempt here!
Referee: ONNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
Refere: TWOOOOOOOO—
Stew-O: And a kick out! However, Effy is moving considerably slower after she rolled away. Hands clutch her throat. It seems like it’s hard for her to breathe at the moment.
Jake Mercer: Doesn’t take a genius to pick up on that. Mia landed with all of weight down on it, and that’s gonna be crucial. The longer this match goes on, the worse it’s going to get for the challenger!
Flannery McCoy: Effy has proven herself to be tough, as seen in her run last season on Voltage where she became the New Breed champion. However, Mia has had her tough road too, and for two seasons, she’s been part of some seriously taxing matches herself. While Effy chided her for taking much longer than her to become a first-time champion, that extra bit of experience is doing its due diligence for the champion.
Jake Mercer: Oh wow, look at how she’s just digging her foot into her throat! She’s even using the ropes for extra leverage! However, anything goes aside from the vices both women selected, and that means Mia can pretty much choke her out if she wanted to!
Stew-O: A worrying sight to behold here as McAvoy kicks and flails to no avail. Mia grins, seeing her face turn red, struggling to breathe! She could be out soon!
Flannery McCoy: And Mia is mocking her! She’s laughing at her! I think she’s talking to her as well — said that she’s weak and she’ll never beat her so long as she’s standing and breathing! Just what a nasty low blow this is!
Jake Mercer: It is, but all’s fair in love and war, Flann — something that I’m certain even Ahren Fournier taught his pupil about.
Stew-O: Mia finally relents… but Effy has no time to rest as she’s unceremoniously slung onto the champ’s shoulders! Mia grins, nefarious intentions brewing, as she walks over, and… wait. Is she going to dump her out of the ring…?!
Jake Mercer: :roman:
Flannery McCoy: Effy did say that she wouldn’t be allowed to leave the ring, so if Mia tosses her out, that would count, and she’d lose!
Crowd: :lupe: :lupe:
Stew-O: EFFY SNAPS TO LIFE, AND GRABS THE TOP ROPE WITH BOTH HANDS! HANGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE AS MIA IS TRYING TO DUMP HER OVER IN THAT FIREMANS CARRY! EFFY KNOWS SHE CAN LOSE THE MATCH THIS WAY!
Flannery McCoy: FRUSTRATION IS STARTING TO FORM ON SANTORO’S FACE, NOT EXPECTING THE FIGHT EFFY WOULD PUT UP HERE! THRASHING ON THE SHOULDERS, AND REFUSING TO LET GO OF THE TOP ROPE!
Jake Mercer: FIGHT, EFFY! FIGHT! I DONT THINK ANYONE WANTS TO SEE THE MATCH END IN SUCH A MANNER! …WELL, EXCEPT FOR MIA!
Stew-O: AND SHE MIGHT GET HER WISH AS EFFY FLIES OVER THE TOP ROPE!!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! EFFY HANGED ON, CATCHING HERSELF ON THE APRON!
Stew-O: MIA SPINNED HER OUT IN THE FIREMANS CARRY, BUT EFFY CAUGHT HERSELF! MIA THEN RUNS OFF THE OPPOSITE SET OF ROPES, HOPING TO KNOCK EFFY OFF WITH A RUNNING SHOULDER THRUST THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE!
Jake Mercer: THIS WOULD KNOCK HER OFF FOR SURE!
Flannery McCoy: THAT IS IF EFFY LET IT CONNECT AS SHE SIDESTEPPED OUT THE WAY! AND DELIVERS A PUNT KICK TO THE CHEST OF MIA AS SHE WAS HUNG OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE!
Stew-O: YOU COULD HEAR THE IMPACT FROM THAT KICK AS IT ECHOED THROUGHOUT THE ARENA! MIA IS STUNNED AS SHE HANGS OUT OVER THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND EFFY GETS AN IDEA AS SHE GRABS A HANDFUL OF MIA’S HAIR! EFFY IS UNLOADING NOW WITH KICKS! REPEATED PUNT KICKS TO THE CHEST!
Jake Mercer: EFFY RELENTS FINALLY, BUT MIA REMAINS HUNG OUT OVER THE MIDDLE ROPE! AND SHE MIGHT BE OUT OF IT AFTER THOSE KICKS! EFFY HAS AN IDEA, AND I WONDER WHAT COULD BE GOING THROUGH THAT DEMENTED MIND OF HERS!
Flannery McCoy: EFFY SLINGSHOTS OFF THE BOTTOM ROPE! GOING FOR A STOMP TO THE BACK OF MIA SANTORO’S NECK! THIS COULD BE A MODIFIED “STORYBOOK ENDING!“
Stew-O: BUT MIA NARROWLY AVOIDS IT! REMOVING HERSELF FROM OUT THE MIDDLE ROPE BEFORE IT COULD CONNECT, AND BLASTS EFFY WITH A FOREARM ON THE APRON! NOW, ITS MCAVOY BACK IN TROUBLE AS SHE TEETERS ON THAT APRON! HANGING ONTO THE TOP ROPE WITH ONLY ONE HAND!
Jake Mercer: MIA IS DESPERATE TO MAKE EFFY FALL, AND BEGINS BITING HER ON THE HAND!
Flannery McCoy: EFFY IS SCREAMING OUT IN PAIN! BUT IT STILL ISN’T ENOUGH TO MAKE HER LET GO! GRITTING THROUGH IT!
Stew-O: MIA DITCHES THAT STRATEGY, AND TESTS OUT A NEW PLAN! HOOKING EFFY UP FOR A SUPLEX, AND GOES TO HOIST HER- BUT EFFY COUNTERS THE ATTEMPT WITH A HOTSHOT STUNNER!
Flannery McCoy: MIA GOT DROPPED THROAT FIRST ACROSS THE TOP ROPE, AND STAGGERS AWAY! COUGHING AS SHE STRUGGLES TO BREATHE, AND EFFY STILL DIDN’T TOUCH THE FLOOR! REMAINING ON THE APRON, AND PULLS HERSELF BACK UP BEFORE CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPE!
Jake Mercer: EFFY DIVES OFF WITH A CROSSBODY!
Stew-O: BUT SANTORO TURNS IT AROUND! ROLLING INTO A COVER ON MCAVOY! LOOKING TO STEAL ONE!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: KICKOUT! EFFY EXPLODED FROM OUT THE COVER, AND BOTH SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET! MIA TAKES THE FIRST SWING- BUT EFFY DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND TAGS HER RIGHT IN THE KIDNEY!
Jake Mercer: EFFY FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A HUGE FOREARM SHOT! MIA WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD WITH THAT ONE, AND IS ON WOBBLY LEGS AT FIRST BEFORE GETTING BACK AGAINST THE ROPES FOR AN IRISH WHIP!
Stew-O: MIA GETS REBOUNDED OFF, AND EFFY DUCKS DOWN PREMATURELY FOR A BACK BODY DROP! GIVING MIA THE OPPORTUNITY TO DELIVER A PUNT KICK TO THE CHEST! THAT JOLTED EFFY BACK UPRIGHT, AND DEFINITELY STUNNED HER MOMENTARILY BY THE LOOKS OF IT!
Flannery McCoy: BUT EFFY SWINGS AT MIA WITH A CLOTHESLINE! WENT TO TAKE HER HEAD OFF WITH IT- BUT MIA DUCKS UNDERNEATH TO AVOID IT! EFFY SPINS AROUND, AND EATS A FLURRY OF FOREARMS BY MIA!
Jake Mercer: MIA IS BACKING MCAVOY AGAINST THE ROPES, CONTINUING TO HAMMER HER WITH THOSE REPEATED FOREARMS AS EFFY IS LEANED UP AGAINST THE ROPES! DOING HER BEST TO COVER UP!
Stew-O: EFFY IS STUNNED UP AGAINST THOSE ROPES BEFORE MIA GRABS HOLD, AND DIRECTS HER TO THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Flannery McCoy: EFFY! EFFY EXPLODES WITH A HEADBUTT! AND EFFY TRIES TO SHAKE THE COBWEBS OUT OF HER HEAD AS SANTORO IS STAGGERED!
Jake Mercer: MIA GROGGILY BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES, AND FIRES OFF WITH A RIGHT HAND ON EFFY!
Stew-O: EFFY FELT THE EFFECTS OF THAT BEFORE SHE FIRES BACK WITH ONE OF HER OWN!
Flannery McCoy: RIGHT HAND FROM MIA AS REBUTTAL! EFFY STAGGERS MOMENTARILY BEFORE ANOTHER RIGHT HAND OF HER OWN!
Jake Mercer: BOTH WOMEN STRUGGLE TO STAND BEFORE GETTING A SECOND WIND AS IT IMMEDIATELY BREAKS OUT INTO A HOCKEY FIGHT! SIMILAR POSITION TO HOW WE STARTED WITH IT BECOMING A SLUGFEST!
Stew-O: BOTH WOMEN STAGGER BACK, THE WEAR AND TEAR SHOWING FROM SO MANY STRIKES EXCHANGED BACK AND FORTH!
Flannery McCoy: BUT NOTICE HOW NEITHER HAS GONE DOWN! JUST GOES TO SHOW THEIR TOUGHNESS!
Stew-O: NEITHER HAS GONE DOWN, BUT THAT MEANS THEY’RE READY TO GO AGAIN AS BOTH WOMEN EACH GO FOR A CLOTHESLINE!
Jake Mercer: A COLLISION TAKES PLACE IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND AGAIN, BOTH COMPETITORS STAGGER BACK! INTENSITY FILL THE EYES OF BOTH EFFY AND MIA BEFORE THEY GO TO STRIKE EACH OTHER AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: THIS TIME, BOTH THINKING THE SAME THING! EXCEPT WITH FOREARMS! COLLIDING IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH MORE THESE TWO CAN WITHSTAND! THIS MATCH HAS BEEN HARD HITTING, AND UNDERSTANDABLY SO! BOTH WANTING TO WALK AWAY WITH THE COVETED SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP!
Stew-O: BOTH WOMEN GO TO CONNECT WITH SUPERKICKS- BUT ACTUALLY STOPPED THEMSELVES! REALIZING THEY WERE GOING FOR THE SAME THING- HOWEVER, MIA TAKES THE FIRST SHOT WITH A SUPERKICK WHILE EFFY’S GUARD WAS DOWN!
Jake Mercer: SUPERKICK IN RESPONSE FROM MCAVOY! WHO GOES TO FOLLOW UP WITH SOMETH- NO! MIA CAUGHT HER WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE KNEE!
Flannery McCoy: WHICH IS USUALLY THE START OF “TWO FOR THE ROAD!” AS SHE GOES FOR THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK! BUT EFFY DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND SPINS MIA FROM BEHIND WITH THE CLIMAX!
Stew-O: RIPCORD KNEE CONNECTS, AND MIA DROPS TO ALL FOURS AS EFFY STUMBLES TO THE CORNER!
Jake Mercer: EFFY TAKES A MOMENT TO CATCH HER BREATH AND BURSTS FROM THE CORNER! MIA SANTORO IS PUSHING HERSELF UP AT THE SAME TIME AND BOTH WOMEN COLLIDE, TAKING ONE ANOTHER DOWN WITH SIMULTANEOUS CLOTHESLINES!
Flannery McCoy: These two have been battling from the start, all in the name of the Specialists Championship, and I’ve been nothing but impressed. Both champ and challenger have had an answer for absolutely everything that’s gone on in this match, and as it stands right now, I don’t know what the outcome is going to be.
Stew-O: I concur with that, Flan, and it’s not surprising to see Mia and Effy both sitting up at the same time. Effy throws a right hand at Mia, and Mia answers back with one of her own. They are on the ground now, trading closed fist punches, and there’s nothing the referee can do. These two can keep beating the hell out of one another until only one survives!
Jake Mercer: Mia and Effy rise to their knees at the same time as Effy cracks Mia with a headbutt! Mia responds! Effy with another headbutt! Mia answers back! EFFY! MIA! EFFY! MIA! EFFY! MIA! IT’S THE CHAMP WHO LANDS A SECOND STRAIGHT BLOW AND EFFY IS STUNNED! MIA DRIVES HER KNUCKLES RIGHT BETWEEN EFFY’S EYES AND EFFY FALLS BACK!
Flannery McCoy: MIA GRABS EFFY AND DRAGS HER TO THE ROPES! SHE HOOKS EFFY’S ARMS, LEAVING HER TRAPPED AND SHE CRAWLS TO THE CORNER TO GRAB HER PLAYING CARDS!
Stew-O: EFFY IS A SITTING DUCK AT THE MOMENT AND MIA HAS A SINISTER LOOK ON HER FACE! SHE DROPS DOWN AND SHE’S UNLACING EFFY’S BOOTS! EFFY IS COMING BACK AROUND AND SHE STARTS KICKING AT MIA, BUT MIA KICKS HER RIGHT IN THE FACE! EFFY IS SUBDUED ONCE AGAIN AND MIA FINISHES PULLING THE BOOTS OFF!
Jake Mercer: SHE RIPS EFFY’S SOCKS OFF AND TEARS HER TIGHTS TO EXPOSE HER FEET! SHE PULLS THE JOKER CARD FROM HER DECK AND SHE JUST USED IT TO SLICE EFFY’S SKIN RIGHT BETWEEN HER TOES!
Flannery McCoy: WHY???? I know we see a lot of sick stuff across all three EAW brands, but this is another level for me. Paper cuts are a BITCH, and Mia is doing this so Effy suffers!
Stew-O: MIA CUTS EFFY BETWEEN ALL FIVE OF HER TOES AND SHE’S LOOKING TO DO THE SAME THING TO THE OTHER FOOT! THERE’S A SMALL BIT OF BLOOD ON THE MAT NOW, AND EVEN THE REFEREE IS HAVING TO LOOK AWAY! EFFY IS THRASHING IN HER BINDS AT THE MOMENT, AND MIA IS LAUGHING!
Jake Mercer: THE CHAMP GRABS A HOLD OF EFFY’S FOOT, BUT EFFY IS TRYING TO FIGHT BACK! SHE MANAGES TO KICK MIA IN THE KNEE BUT ALL THAT DOES IS PISS HER OFF! MIA SNATCHES EFFY BY THE FACE AND SHE’S SCREAMING AT HER!
Flannery McCoy: EFFY SPITS ON MIA AND MIA SLAPS HER IN THE FACE! SHE SQUEEZES EFFY’S CHIN AND USES THE JOKER CARD TO SLICE THE CORNER OF EFFY’S MOUTH! EFFY LETS OUT A CRY AND MIA CUTS THE OTHER SIDE OF EFFY’S MOUTH!
Stew-O: TRICKLES OF BLOOD ARE RUNNING DOWN EFFY’S FACE AND CHIN NOW, AND MIA GOES BACK TO THE FEET! SHE STARTS TO CUT EFFY’S OTHER FOOT AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW EFFY IS WITHSTANDING THIS!
Flannery McCoy: I can’t even watch this right now. Ugh.
Jake Mercer: MIA FINISHES SLICING UP EFFY’S FEET AND I’M SURE THE FOOT FETISH FIENDS ARE SOMEWHERE LOVING THIS!
Stew-O: MIA RELEASES EFFY FROM THE ROPES AND TOSSES HER INTO THE CORNER! EFFY LANDS HARD AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES AND MIA DASHES IN, NEARLY TAKING EFFY’S HEAD OFF WITH A RUNNING CORNER CLOTHESLINE!
Flannery McCoy: EFFY IS ROCKED! MIA PULLS HER FORWARD, SLAMS HER KNEE INTO EFFY’S STOMACH AND HOISTS HER UP! SHE POWERBOMBS EFFY INTO THE TURNBUCKLES BEFORE SPINNING HER AROUND AND DROPPING HER TO THE MAT WITH A POWERBOMB!
Jake Mercer: DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE FACE FOLLOWS! MIA CALLS THAT COMBINATION ‘FORGET ME NOT’ AND I DON’T THINK EFFY WILL BE FORGETTING MIA ANY TIME SOON! MIA DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEE—
Stew-O: EFFY SHOOTS HER SHOULDER UP!
Flannery McCoy: MIA SHAKES HER HEAD AND MOUNTS EFFY! FOREARM AFTER FOREARM CONNECTS ON EFFY! MIA LEAPS UP AND SIGNALS FOR THE END! SHE’S GOING TO THE TOP, NO DOUBT LOOKING TO PUT THE FINAL NAIL IN EFFY MCAVOY RIGHT HERE!
Jake Mercer: MIA GETS SET AND SHE TAKES A LEAP OF FAITH! ‘CHASE THE FEELING’! THE DIVING LEGDROP LAN—
Stew-O: DOESN’T LAND! Effy rolled out of the way and the Specialists Champion might have seriously hurt herself! Mia rolls to the outside of the ring and is slamming her fist into the back of her thigh to try and get some feeling into. Effy McAvoy is sitting up in the ring and look at the anguish on her face! She sees that Mia is outside the ring and she can’t even capitalize right now! There is NOTHING Effy McAvoy can do to follow up right now and she’s incensed!
Flannery McCoy: Effy did this to herself and she’s starting to realize that! Mia has always been a highly intelligent competitor and she is now using Effy’s own handicap to her advantage. Mia is back to her feet, but she is limping around the ring. She sees how distressed Effy is right now and she’s telling her to come get her!
Jake Mercer: Effy closes her eyes and turns her back to Mia. It’s like she is trying to block out everything right now and figure out what to do. Meanwhile, Mia is continuing to taunt Effy and there is nothing the referee can do to force Mia Santoro to get back into the ring. She could stay out there all night!
Stew-O: Guys… Effy just grabbed the deck of cards! She’s also got the Joker card.
Flannery McCoy: Mia’s eyes have gone wide and look at Effy! She’s laughing! She’s laughing like an absolute maniac!
Effy McAvoy: (off-mic) Get back in the ring or I throw these into the crowd.
Mia Santoro: (off-mic) You wouldn’t…
Effy McAvoy: (off-mic while she tucks the Joker card back into the deck) Try me, bitch.
Jake Mercer: Mia Santoro slams her fist into the ring post out of sheer frustration! Effy has the only weapon Mia has allowed herself to use in her hands, threatening to get rid of it, and she’s threatening to throw it into the crowd.
Stew-O: I highly doubt the crowd will give them back either :mjlol:
Flannery McCoy: Mia Santoro is left with no choice but to get back in the ring AND EFFY THROWS THE CARDS INTO THE CROWD! SHE GOT RID OF THEM ANYWAY AND MIA IS OUTRAGED! SHE SLAPS EFFY IN THE FACE AND EFFY SLAPS HER BACK! THEY ARE SLAPPING THE SHIT OUT OF ONE ANOTHER NOW! EFFY GRABS MIA BY THE HAIR AND SHE SINKS HER TEETH INTO MIA’S FOREHEAD! SHE IS BITING MIA NOW AS SHE BACKS HER INTO THE CORNER!
Jake Mercer: EFFY HAS COME ALIVE! SHE’S DRAWN BLOOD FROM MIA AND IS STOMPING A MUDHOLE IN HER! MIA IS FORCED INTO A SEATED POSITION AND EFFY IS USING THE HEEL OF HER BARE FOOT TO KICK OPEN THE BITE ON MIA’S FOREHEAD!
Stew-O: That is opening up that wound just a little bit more with each shot and the crowd is absolutely LOVING it. Look at the blood really starting to flow from Mia’s face. The infamous Crimson Mask has made its appearance in this match.
Jake Mercer: Along with who knows what else? As great of a fight this is to witness, Effy’s feet have to have some bacteria or something. These arenas aren’t exactly the cleanest places in the world.
Flannery McCoy: These Elitists do unspeakable things to each other on a weekly basis and you’re concerned about germs? You worry me sometimes.
Stew-O: Around here, we should only really be worried if a dismembered body part ends up in the third row. This is nothing.
Flannery McCoy: Well it could be something if Mia doesn’t find a way to get out of the corner. She’s no doubt been knocked loopier than normal. Especially with all those shots to the head.
Jake Mercer: Effy wants that title and she is going to stop at nothing to get it and we know that could literally mean anything considering this Effy is not playing with a full deck–
Stew-O: MIA GOT HER SENSES ABOUT HER AND SHE GRABS EFFY’S FOOT! MIS IS JUST SITTING THERE WITH FIRE IN HER EYES AS SHE JUST STARTS JAMMING HER FINGERS WHERE SHE SLICED EFFY BETWEEN HER TOES!
Jake Mercer: I am not sure how I feel about this, but you do anything you can in order to win a match like this and that’s what she is doing. Driving your fingers into an annoying cut like that has bound to be not what Effy was expecting.
Flannery McCoy: Brilliant observation, Jake. The Champ is back on her feet as she still has hold of Effy AND MIA PULLS HER IN! MIA GETS HER IN POSITION FOR THE FISHERMAN’S NECKBREKER! WILL IT BE EFFY’S “BLACKEST HOUR”–
Stew-O: NO! EFFY IS ABLE TO CHANGE MOMENTUM AND COUNTER THE NECKBREAKER INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE! THE CHAMP’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
Jake Mercer: MIA IS ABLE TO ROLL OVER AND COUNTER THE ROLL UP! EFFY’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: EFFY KICKS OUT AT TWO AND MIA JUST LET OUT A SCREAM OF FRUSTRATION! GOOD GAWD! COULD SHE BE ANY LOUDER!
Stew-O: So loud that I think Gavin heard from wherever the hell he is. But Mia is getting more angry by the second that she can’t put Effy away, regardless of the tricks she uses. Mia is looking around for something… SHE’S LOOKING FOR HER CARDS!
Flannery McCoy: I think she got hit pretty hard because Effy threw those into the crowd not too long ago. Maybe wishful thinking or maybe she blocked that moment out. I don’t know but Mia is pulling at her hair like she is five seconds away from the asylum.
Jake Mercer: She has no weapon. Her ace in the hole is gone. If she wants to win this, she’s gonna have to do it the old fashioned way.
Stew-O: Beating her within an inch of her life?
Jake Mercer: EXACTLY! Effy turns around RIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK FROM MIA! MIA HAS EFFY AND THROWS HER WITH THE EXPLODER SUPLEX AND NOW SHE IS JUST PUNCHING THE HOLY SHIT OUT OF HER CHALLENGER!
Flannery McCoy: EFFY IS TRYING TO BLOCK, BUT THE PUNCHES ARE COMING FAST AND FURIOUS FROM A FAST AND FURIOUS MIA SANTORO! BARE KNUCKLES COMING INTO CONTACT WITH EFFY’S FACE AND HEAD!
Stew-O: SHE IS PUNCHING THE SAME SPOT OVER AND OVER AGAIN! MIA IS SEEING RED AND SHE WANTS EFFY TO DO THE SAME MORE THAN SHE ALREADY HAS!
Jake Mercer: SHE GOT WHAT SHE WANTED! EFFY HAS BEEN BUSTED OPEN THE HARD WAY AND MIA LOVES IT! WHAT SHE IS DOING NOW?
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GAWD! SHE’S BITING! SHE’S RETURNING THE FAVOR FROM WHAT EFFY DID TO HEAR JUST MOMENTS AGO! SHE IS TRYING TO OPEN UP THAT WOUND EVEN MORE!
Stew-O: I think I just saw some fans actually turn around. This got gruesome even for them. Mia is looking like a damn madwoman. Has she turned into a cannibal or something?
Flannery McCoy: I don’t know, but Mia has finally stopped biting AND LOOK AT THE BLOOD COVERING HER MOUTH! OH MY GAWD! THIS IS NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH OR THE WEAK AT HEART!!
Jake Mercer: Oh my gawd! I think I am getting close to throwing up.
Stew-O: Her point exactly! Mia really did a number on Effy AND SHE JUST SPAT SOME OF THE BLOOD BACK ON EFFY! Well… there are really no words we can use to describe what just went down there.
Jake Mercer: Is it weird for a person to be nauseated and intrigued at the same time with what he is watching right now?
Flannery McCoy: In your case… alright in most cases yes!!
Mia Santoro: (off-mic) You are not as good as me and YOU NEVER WILL BE!!
Stew-O: First, Mia spits on her and now she’s yelling at her. That’s really sweet right there. Effy is on the mat with blood completely covering her face AND SHE IS LAUGHING! EFFY IS LAUGHING IN AN ALMOST MANIACAL STATE!!
Jake Mercer: Effy has just sat up and she is getting back to her feet and walking towards Mia like a horror movie zombie. AND SHE’S STILL LAUGHING!!
Effy McAvoy: (off-mic) What’s the matter, Mia? Mad that you can’t beat me? Get used to that feeling. I took your cards away and I’m taking the title next!
Flannery McCoy: Mia isn’t scared, she just looks extremely pissed off AS SHE SLAPS EFFY ACROSS THE FACE AGAIN! BUT EFFY POINTS TO HER CHEEK AND ASKS FOR ANOTHER!!
Stew-O: THIS TIME MIA CATCHES HER WITH A RIGHT HAND BUT EFFY WANTS MORE! AND MIA IS GONNA GIVE IT TO HER, BUT MIA FAKES HER OUT AND GRABS HER TO THROW HER OUT OF THE RING–
Flannery McCoy: EFFY IS HANGING ONTO THE ROPE WITH ALL THE POWER SHE CAN MUSTER RIGHT NOW! SHE’S DANGLING AND IF SHE FALLS, SHE LOSES!!
Jake Mercer: AND MIA IS BITING AGAIN! MIA IS BITING EFFY’S HANDS TO TRY AND GET HER TO FALL TO THE FLOOR BUT EFFY ISN’T LETTING GO!
Stew-O: Mia tries to start biting the other hand, BUT EFFY IS ABLE TO FLIP BACK AND LAND ON MIA’S SHOULDER! Mia could easily powerslam Effy right here, BUT EFFY SPINS OUT AND PLANTS MIA WITH A MODIFIED DDT!!
Flannery McCoy: Effy has got to be feeling the pain right now… or she really likes it. Won’t delve into that, but she drags Mia by the hair towards the corner and Effy gets on the second rope.
Stew-O: Effy needs to be careful or this could lead to her losing the match, BUT SHE JUMPS OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND HITS THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! I THINK ONE OF HER FEET HIT MIA IN THE FACE! BUT EFFY GOT A DIRECT HIT AND SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: SHE GOT THE SHOULDER UP! OH SHIT THAT WAS CLOSE, BUT IT WAS ONLY A NEAR FALL FOR EFFY AS MIA BARELY BEAT THE REFEREE’S THREE COUNT!!
Flannery McCoy: Wow, this has definitely been a brutal match as both women are bleeding! Effy isn’t happy after Mia was able to kick out of that double foot stomp, BUT INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN, SHE DRAGS MIA UP BEFORE BEGINNING TO DELIVER REPEATED KNEES RIGHT INTO THE CHAMPION’S FACE! WE KNOW THAT EFFY ISN’T THE KIND OF COMPETITOR TO TAKE LIGHTLY, AND MIA IS BEING FORCED TO LEARN THAT THE HARD WAY AS THOSE KNEES ARE GOING DIRECTLY INTO HER FACE EVERY TIME!
Stew-O: EFFY MCAVOY DRAGS MIA BACK UP AND THE KNEES CONTINUE, THIS TIME DIRECTED TOWARDS THE MIDSECTION AS EFFY IS JUST THROWING EVERYTHING SHE’S GOT LEFT AT THE CHAMPION! MIA DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE AFTER ALL THE KNEES, BUT EFFY IS QUICK TO DRAG HER BACK UP WITH A WAISTLOCK, KNOWING THAT APPLYING PRESSURE LIKE THIS VERY WELL MAY LEAD HER TO BECOMING SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!
Jake Mercer: EFFY MCAVOY GRABS MIA BY THE ARM AND TURNS HER AROUND FOR THE CLIMAX!!!
Flannery McCoy: NO!!!!! BEFORE EFFY COULD HIT THE KNEE, MIA SANTORO DROPS DOWN AND PULLS EFFY BACKWARDS, SENDING EFFY THROUGH THE ROPES AND OUT OF THE RING!!!!
Stew-O: BUT EFFY IS ONCE AGAIN ABLE TO SURVIVE!!!! MIA SANTORO TRIED TO SEND EFFY OUT OF THE RING BOTH TO SAVE HERSELF AND END THIS MATCH, BUT EFFY MCAVOY WAS BARELY ABLE TO CLING TO THE ROPES AND PREVENT HERSELF FROM FALLING OUT TO RINGSIDE! Mia Santoro begins to push herself up, but as she turns towards Effy, she doesn’t look thrilled whatsoever.
Jake Mercer: Effy McAvoy slides into the ring, AND JUST AS SHE GOT TO A KNEE MIA TRIED TO SURPRISE HER WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW, BUT EFFY WAS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER THAT BEFORE PULLING MIA DOWN INTO A PIN!
OOOONNNNEEEEE-
Flannery McCoy: MIA IS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY KICK OUT OF IT AND ROLL BACKWARDS ONTO HER KNEES-
Stew-O: BUT EFFY MCAVOY USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO HIT HER WITH THE STORYBOOK ENDING!!!
Jake Mercer: IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!! MIA SANTORO IS ABLE TO PULL HERSELF OUT OF HARM’S WAY, AND SHE GRABS EFFY BEFORE THROWING HER SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST! This match just ended two times in just a few moments, but these two are still going as Effy falls down into a seated position, ALLOWING MIA TO JUST START PUTTING BOOTS TO FACE AS SHE STOMPS AWAY AT EFFY MCAVOY!
Stew-O: Mia drags Effy out of the corner and back up to her feet, BEFORE BEGINNING TO JUST THROW FOREARM SMASHES RIGHT INTO EFFY’S FACE! FROM THE MOMENT THE BELL RANG THIS MATCH HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF A FIGHT MORE THAN IT’S BEEN A MATCH, AND WE’RE STILL SEEING IT AS WE SPEAK AS MIA IS JUST PUMMELLING EFFY MCAVOY, LOOKING TO POSSIBLY MAKE EFFY REGRET FACING HER TONIGHT!
Jake Mercer: EFFY IS ABLE TO PUSH MIA OFF OF HER, BUT MIA DUCKS UNDER EFFY’S SWING BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SUPERKICK! EFFY DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE, AND MIA SANTORO RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SHINING WIZARD TO DROP THE CHALLENGER! This isn’t looking good for Effy! Mia really turned this one around, AND NOW SHE GETS ON TOP OF EFFY BEFORE BEGINNING TO JUST DRIVE HER THUMBS INTO THAT OPEN WOUND SHE CREATED EARLIER!
Flannery McCoy: OH NO! MIA IS JUST DIGGING INTO THE OPEN WOUND, AND THIS MATCH HAS REALLY GOTTEN NASTY AS EFFY IS STRUGGLING TO GET MIA OFF OF HER! WE KNOW NEITHER OF THESE WOMEN ARE EXACTLY NORMAL, BUT I CAN’T SAY I EXPECTED THINGS TO TURN OUT LIKE THIS EITHER AS THEY’RE JUST TRYING TO TEAR EACH OTHER APART!
Stew-O: EFFY MCAVOY IS FINALLY ABLE TO PUSH MIA SANTORO OFF OF HER, AND SHE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A PUNCH STRAIGHT TO THE JAW, SENDING MIA BACK AND GIVING EFFY TIME TO GET BACK TO HER FEET! EFFY GETS UP, AND SHE RUNS IN BEFORE SWINGING AT MIA-
Jake Mercer: BUT MIA SANTORO DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS THE ROPES!! SHE JUMPS ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE, SPRINGBOARDING OFF OF IT FOR WOLFSBANE!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT EFFY MCAVOY CAUGHT HER!!! EFFY CATCHES HER WITH A WAISTLOCK, BEFORE GRABBING MIA BY THE ARM AND PULLING HER IN FOR THE CLIMAX!!!!! THE CLIMAX CONNECTS, AS MIA WAS JUST HIT IN THE JAW WITH THAT RIPCORD KNEE!!! MIA MADE A SEVERE MISTAKE GOING FOR THAT SPRINGBOARD CUTTER, AND EFFY CAPITALIZED!
Stew-O: BUT EFFY DOESN’T FINISH THERE!!! MIA DROPPED TO HER KNEES, BUT EFFY TAKES HOLD OF BOTH OF MIA’S ARMS BEFORE DELIVERING A SECOND KNEE, WITH THIS ONE HITTING MIA DIRECTLY IN THE FACE!!!! MIA COLLAPSES FACE FIRST ONTO THE MAT, AND I THINK SHE MIGHT JUST BE OUT COLD AFTER ALL OF THAT! THERE’S NO WAY SHE CAN GET BACK UP AFTER THAT ONE, AND I THINK EFFY KNOWS IT!
Jake Mercer: Effy McAvoy begins to slowly back away from Mia Santoro, and it looks like she chose not to go for the cover, as she intends to make sure that Mia stays down for good this time! Mia Santoro begins to push herself up to all fours, and I’m not so sure if she can even get back to her feet at this point! Effy knows this, SO SHE RUNS IN, BEFORE FINALLY GOING FOR THE STORYBOOK ENDING-
Flannery McCoy: NO! ONCE AGAIN IT DOESN’T CONNECT, ONLY THIS TIME MIA WAS ABLE TO CATCH EFFY MCAVOY JUST AS SHE LEAPED FOR THE STOMP!!! MIA CAUGHT EFFY, BEFORE DROPPING HER ONTO THE MAT WITH THE POWERBOMB!!! MIA WITH A HUGE POWERBOMB ONTO EFFY MCAVOY, AND SHE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE FACE!!! MIA CONNECTS WITH FORGET ME NOT, AND AS BOTH ELITISTS ARE DOWN ON THE MAT, MIA SLOWLY ROLLS OUT TO THE APRON!
Stew-O: MIA SANTORO IS BEGINNING TO DRAG HERSELF UP TO THE TOP ROPE, AND EFFY MCAVOY ISN’T MOVING! I THINK THAT DOUBLE FOOT STOMP MAY HAVE TARGETED THAT WOUND, AS THE BLEEDING IS ONLY GETTING WORSE! EFFY’S FACE IS ALMOST ENTIRELY COVERED IN BLOOD, AND SHE ISN’T MOVING AS THE CHAMPION HAS MADE IT UP TOP, ALL WITH A SMIRK ON HER FACE BEFORE SHE DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE!
Jake Mercer: “CHASE THE FEELING”!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: IT CONNECTS!!!!! MIA SANTORO CONNECTS WITH THE DIVING LEG DROP ON EFFY MCAVOY, AND AFTER EVERYTHING THAT JUST HAPPENED IN THIS MATCH, I DON’T THINK SHE HAS ANYTHING LEFT IN HER TO CONTINUE!!!! EVEN MIA SANTORO LOOKS OUT OF IT, BUT SHE’S ABLE TO DRAG HERSELF ON TOP OF EFFY BEFORE SLOWLY HOOKING THE LEG!!!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner… AAAANNNNDDDDD SSTTTIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THE EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION….. MMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAA SSSAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOORRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
(‘Cult Leader’ begins to play once more as Mia Santoro slowly rolls off of Effy McAvoy. She doesn’t get to her feet immediately, as both women are still exhausted following the violent match they just had with each other. Mia Santoro is slowly able to sit up as the referee retrieves her Specialists Championship, and despite the fatigue and the blood, Mia Santoro has a grin on her face, knowing that she was able to hold onto her Championship.)
Stew-O: MIA SANTORO DOES IT!!! Mia was able to retain the Specialists Championship, but by no means was it easy! Effy McAvoy gave her one hell of a fight, as even a vice as challenging as not being able to exit the ring wasn’t enough to stop her! These two women threw everything at each other, but in the end Mia was able to capitalize on the damage that had been done throughout the match in order to retain!
Jake Mercer: Wow. That was a real fight, that’s for sure. It wasn’t pretty at all, but you gotta do what you gotta do if you want to win sometimes! Mia Santoro was able to retain her Specialists Championship, and knowing how tough of a fight it was probably makes the victory sweeter!
Flannery McCoy: You actually might not be wrong there. You saw the smirk that was on Mia’s face just now, and it definitely wasn’t there because it was some easy match. Effy McAvoy nearly left this match as Champion, and there’s no telling what could’ve happened if she wasn’t restricted to staying in the ring.
Stew-O: That’s true, but ultimately tonight was Mia Santoro’s night, and I have to say, this was one hell of a way to start a Championship reign. Congratulations to Mia Santoro for retaining the Specialists Championship!
(Mia Santoro slowly grabs onto the ropes, using them to pull herself up while a few officials come to check on Effy McAvoy. Mia Santoro holds onto the ropes to remain on her feet, but as she stares at all of the booing fans in attendance, she raises her Specialists Championship. With this final shot of Mia Santoro standing tall as Champion, Reckless Wiring begins to fade from ringside.)

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is a SUDDEN DEATH MATCH scheduled for ONE FALL! The contestants have TEN MINUTES to achieve a pinfall or submission victory!
(𝙑𝙆𝙇 – 𝙍𝙖𝙞𝙣 began blaring through the speakers to cheers as Sorn made his way out from behind the stage curtains full of fighting spirit. He pointed towards the sky with an ambitious look in his eyes before he began making his way down the ramp, tagging the fans as he did.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST! Hailing from Osaka, Japan, weighing in at 167 pounds… he is THE FUTURE ACE, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOORN!
Stew-O: We’ve got a triple threat sudden death bout for the new generation coming up right here! All three of these men have drastically different personalities and approaches to the wrestling industry, and they’re all looking for dominance tonight to kick off their season with a big win! The ambitious Sorn is looking to decimate his foes and live up to his nickname!
(‘Phenomenal’ by Eminem began blaring through the speakers to boos as Shio Corrin swaggered out from behind the stage curtains, already talking trash about Sorn in the ring as he started making his way over the stage to the ramp. He continued trash talking as he made his way to the ring, ignoring the fans booing and jeering at him.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT! Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 225 pounds… SHIOOOOOOOOOOOOO! COOOOOOOOOOOORRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!
Stew-O: And here we’ve got Shio Corrin, another New Breed but already making his presence known just by the sound of his voice! Never shy to talk a big game, he takes a much more unlikable approach to fighting in the ring, using dirty tactics… but if it’s able to win him a marquee match, who can speak against him?
(“Razorface” by Celldweller began blaring through the speakers to a loud mixed reaction as David Gideon Smith emerged from the darkness with a menacing expression on his face, obscured by his black hood. He performed his Black Blade taunt, feeling his own power before storming down the ramp, making his way to the corner of the squared circle where he removed his hood and scanned the arena before hopping into the ring.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING LAST! Hailing from Omaha, Nebraska, weighing in at 250 pounds… HE IS THE SOVEREIGN, DAAAAAAAAAAVID! GIDEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! SMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITH!
Stew-O: Last but not least, we have the ominous David Gideon Smith who made quite the name for himself in the 24/7 Battle Royale, establishing himself as one of the biggest threats in the New Breed Division and now looking to follow up the momentum from his victory over Holly Arrow to trample his fellow New Breeds and secure a path to greater heights in this season! Only one of these three will be able to establish their dominance, who will it be?! We will find out in ten minutes!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(Ten minutes remain.)
Stew-O: All three men are in their respective corners, their eyes are flitting from one to the other as they all measure each other up, looking to make a move! There isn’t too much time for measuring each other up, though, because we’ve only got ten minutes before a winner is decided!
Flannery McCoy: David Gideon Smith is the first to step out of his corner, making his way towards Shio Corrin, and that sight is all that Shio Corrin has to see before he immediately drops to the canvas and rolls out of the ring from underneath the bottom rope! David Gideon Smith has a derisive look on his face, but it’s suddenly interrupted when–
Jake Mercer: Sorn rushes out from his own corner, executing a jumping European uppercut to the massive David Gideon Smith, catching him off guard while he was focusing on Shio Corrin, and Sorn knows with the stakes of this match being their very reputations that he needs to do everything he can to get his victory within ten minutes!
Stew-O: David Gideon Smith doesn’t take it lying down, though, as Sorn goes for another European uppercut but David Gideon Smith is able to catch the arm before it’s able to connect with his jaw! The Sovereign glowers down at the Future Ace with a menacing glare before grabbing him and hoisting him up onto his shoulders with a fireman’s carry lift!
Flannery McCoy: He looks like he’s going for a fireman’s carry slam against the Future Ace, but Sorn is suddenly able to maneuver his way behind the body of David Gideon Smith, latching on to both of the Sovereign’s arms as he does so and bringing him down with a sudden crucifix roll up! Could this match end in a single minute?!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: But an EMPHATIC kick out by David Gideon Smith keeps the competition going, and the Sovereign is not looking happy at Sorn’s sudden roll up attempt as he shoves the Future Ace hard enough to force him into a back roll! Sorn is able to scramble back to his feet after the back roll and rushes for another attack at David Gideon Smith–
Stew-O: But David Gideon Smith is able to leverage Sorn’s velocity against him, catching him mid-rush and dropping him to the canvas with an arm drag! Sorn is able to get back up quickly, but he’s met with another arm drag! These aren’t the most monstrous attacks, but David Gideon Smith is able to execute them with such speed that the damage to the arm and the back is likely to start building up over the course of this match!
Flannery McCoy: David Gideon Smith went for yet another arm drag, but this time Sorn had the Sovereign scouted out and managed to maneuver behind David Gideon Smith into a rear waist lock! He shoves David Gideon Smith forward, causing the Sovereign to stumble for a moment, and that’s the opening that Sorn needed to be able to execute a basement dropkick to the backs of David Gideon Smith’s knees!
Jake Mercer: That was a well-targeted attack, forcing the titanic David Gideon Smith to fall to a kneeling position! Sorn is a well-studied wrestler despite his status as a New Breed, so he knows exactly how he would need to approach someone with such a vast height and weight advantage… taking them down by the legs!
Stew-O: Sorn kips himself back up to a standing position before taking aim at the back of David Gideon Smith’s head! The Sovereign begins to stagger out of the kneeling position, but he doesn’t even get the chance as the Future Ace rushes up behind him and connects with a LOUD superkick to the back of David Gideon Smith’s head! The Sovereign is taken out, falling face-first onto the canvas!
Flannery McCoy: The Future Ace wastes no time in grabbing the legs of David Gideon Smith and flipping him over just to execute another roll up pin attempt, this time leveraging his entire body on top of the rolled up legs of David Gideon Smith! Will it be enough for the pinfall?!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOO-
Jake Mercer: But David Gideon Smith was able to kick out yet again! It was some impressive wrestling right there from the Future Ace who continues to fight his heart out in order to prove he is worthy of his name, but the monstrous David Gideon Smith shows no inclination of being ready to be taken out!
Stew-O: The Future Ace rises off of David Gideon Smith and takes a few steps back, grabbing onto the ropes as he measures David Gideon Smith up; he seems to get an idea as he steps out onto the apron and walks along the apron towards the corner! That’s the ticket; David Gideon Smith may be the biggest man in the match, but Sorn has him outmatched when it comes to agility, and being able to use some high-risk high-reward high-flying maneuvers may be his ticket to taking down the monstrous Sovereign!
Flannery McCoy: Sorn begins scaling up the corner, getting one of his feet onto the middle turnbuckle before climbing further up– wait, what’s that?! IT’S SHIO CORRIN! That sneaky– he just picked his perfect opportunity to intervene while the Future Ace and David Gideon Smith were too focused on each other, and now he’s taking full advantage! He grabs a hold of the ankle of the Future Ace, who looks down and realizes that in his attempts to dismantle David Gideon Smith, he ignored the fact that this Sudden Death match is a triple threat!
Jake Mercer: Too late to regret that mistake, because Shio Corrin just yanked with all of his strength, causing the Future Ace to fall from the height of the corner and landing face-first on the apron! That’s the hardest part of the ring, and the Future Ace just face planted on it from nearly the top of the corner! You just KNOW that’s going to leave a mark!
Stew-O: I actually can see a bit of a bruise forming on the cheek of the Future Ace; I’ll hand it to him, even after getting caught off guard and dropped onto the apron, he did have the knowhow to turn his head and avoid getting dropped on his jaw for a potential knockout blow, he took the fall right to the cheek! I don’t think Shio Corrin gives a damn, though, because now he’s going crazy on the Future Ace, utterly battering him with a ruthless barrage of strikes!
Flannery McCoy: The Future Ace is still really dazed from that hard fall from the corner, and Shio Corrin is taking full advantage of that fact by stomping him out with the Future Ace’s back up against the apron! Shio grabs a hold of the Future Ace by the head and drags him up face to face!
Shio Corrin: You thought you could fucking mess with me? ME? You aren’t the future of ANYTHING, your only future is becoming a footnote for MY legacy!
Jake Mercer: Bold fighting words by Shio Corrin who immediately takes the Future Ace and hurls him into the massive steel steps! Sorn takes that blow to the back, and the impact of him being thrown against the steel steps is so tremendous that it even knocks the steel steps out of place! Shio Corrin doesn’t have a hint of remorse on his face, though, he seems more focused on doubling down on what he’s done and taking the Future Ace out of commission altogether!
Stew-O: He takes a look at the steel steps that got knocked out of place and gets a sudden grin on his face, followed by a smirk as his eyes leer down at the fallen Future Ace once again! He drags Sorn up to a standing position and gives him a heavy knee smash to the midsection, causing him to double over in pain as he still tries to recover from that fall, let alone from the rest of the damage that Shio Corrin has unleashed on him since it took place!
Flannery McCoy: He’s looking to unleash even more hell on the Future Ace as he mockingly hits a European uppercut of his own, clearly a shot at Sorn’s own commonly used maneuver, before hoisting him up by the legs and– OH MY GOD!
Jake Mercer: SPINEBUSTER RIGHT ON THE MASSIVE STEEL STEPS! DID YOU HEAR THE SOUND OF THAT IMPACT?! Even if you couldn’t hear it, one look at the wide eyes and open mouth of the Future Ace is all you need to let you know exactly how much that impact hurt him! No cushion, nothing to make that spinebuster hurt less, that was just pure AGONY right there!
Stew-O: A cocky laugh on the part of Shio Corrin shows you just how proud he was of that maneuver, and with the limited timeframe that this match has, that may be one of the deciding factors in how this match ends up playing out! He doesn’t waste any time in following up as he grabs the legs of the Future Ace and roughly drags him off of the steel steps, letting him drop with a thud to the ringside floor which I’m sure couldn’t have felt good at all after taking that spinebuster to the back right beforehand!
Flannery McCoy: And now, Shio Corrin himself walks over the Future Ace as he steps onto the steel steps himself! He strikes a pose as he makes his way up each of the steps before getting up to the top and taking a look down below at the fallen Future Ace! What could Shio Corrin be planning here from this position?!
Jake Mercer: Whatever he’s planning, it definitely isn’t good for Sorn! Shio Corrin turns his back to the Future Ace and steadies himself on top of the steel steps; is he planning to- OH, HE IS! SHIO CORRIN LAUNCHES HIMSELF OFF OF THE STEEL STEPS AND BACKFLIPS IN MID AIR! HE’S LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A STANDING MOONSAULT ONTO THE FUTURE ACE FROM THE ELEVATED POSITION OF THE STEEL STEPS!
Stew-O: BUT SORN IS ABLE TO GET HIS KNEES UP JUST IN TIME, PROTECTING HIMSELF FROM THE MOONSAULT AND DAMAGING SHIO CORRIN ALL THE SAME!
(Five minutes remain.)
Flannery McCoy: As we can see, the time is ticking down for one of these men to be able to walk away with the win as half of the match has already gone by, and Shio Corrin may be in the best position to win for now… although, after dropping his midsection onto the raised knees of the Future Ace, that momentum may be crashing down right about now! Shio Corrin rolls off of Sorn with his abdomen clutched in pain, and Sorn, while having a pained expression on his face, has a slight grin as well as he just successfully averted disaster from above!
Jake Mercer: The Future Ace starts to get up but then clutches at his own back, still feeling the brunt of that spinebuster on the steps; at least he seems to be out of the daze that was caused from that drop from the corner, and now he’s looking to get some payback for all of that damage caused by Shio Corrin! He drags Shio up to a standing position before giving him a stiff kick to the midsection… followed up by a European uppercut, one that hits a lot harder than the mocking one that Shio Corrin unleashed on him just minutes ago!
Stew-O: The Future Ace is trying to show Shio Corrin exactly how it’s done, and now he’s got Shio Corrin’s head tucked under his arm before he hoists him up in a vertical suplex position! Look at the strength on display! Even though Shio Corrin weighs more than Sorn, the Future Ace is able to get Corrin up there! He’s about to drop him before– OH MY GOD!
Crowd: :damn: :damn: :damn: :damn: :damn: :damn:
Flannery McCoy: DAVID GIDEON SMITH JUST LAUNCED HIMSELF FROM INSIDE THE RING TO RINGSIDE! THE TITAN OF THIS MATCH JUST WENT HIGH RISK AND HIGH REWARD, GRABBING A HOLD OF THE TOP ROPE AND LAUNCHING HIMSELF OVERHEAD WITH A SLINGSHOT CROSSBODY PLANCHA! HE JUST TOOK DOWN THE FUTURE ACE WHO HAD SHIO CORRIN UP IN THAT VERTICAL SUPLEX POSITION!
Jake Mercer: DAVID GIDEON SMITH’S SLINGSHOT CROSSBODY PLANCHA JUST FORCED THE FUTURE ACE TO DROP SHIO CORRIN WITH A SUDDEN BRAINBUSTER RIGHT ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! ALL THREE MEN HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT AS A RESULT OF THAT MASSIVE MANEUVER BY THE MASSIVE SOVEREIGN, DAVID GIDEON SMITH!
Crowd: OIWUERHGOIWUEHRGOIUHZFIGHOWIEURGHWOIEURGHOIWGH
(Four minutes remain.)
Stew-O: David Gideon Smith is now the freshest member of the match with several minutes remaining, and even he knew how that impact would end up hurting him as well! Luckily for him, his maneuver landed right on target, and he ended up using both Shio Corrin and the Future Ace as a cushion for his fall! The Sovereign starts to stagger up to his feet, grabbing Shio Corrin and dragging him into the ring before making his own way in! Even though the slingshot crossbody plancha may have landed on the Future Ace, he did manage to see that brainbuster connect and knows that it very well may have knocked Shio out since it connected on the ringside floor!
Flannery McCoy: David Gideon Smith isn’t one to waste time, and he doesn’t as he doesn’t even try to hit anything else on Shio, just immediately grabbing both of his legs and rolling him up as tightly as he possibly can with the referee sliding in for the pinfall!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jake Mercer: BUT A KICK OUT AFTER THE TWO COUNT KEEPS THIS MATCH GOING ON! David Gideon Smith glares furiously at the braggadocious rapper, knowing that the time is ticking and that if he isn’t able to get the job done in time, then this will have all been for naught! David Gideon Smith begins battering the hell out of Shio Corrin, laying in with the hammer fists before dragging Shio Corrin back to a standing position!
Stew-O: He hoists Shio Corrin up to an Argentine backbreaker rack, and that’s quite the height to be at with how tall David Gideon Smith is! Shio Corrin is struggling as hard as he can to get himself free from that position, but he’s unable to do so as David Gideon Smith just immediately drops him onto BOTH KNEES with an Argentine Double Knee Backbreaker! WOAH!
Flannery McCoy: He doesn’t let go! David Gideon Smith has both of his knees raised and he’s keeping Shio Corrin in place against them as he wrenches Shio Corrin’s back against the knees! David Gideon Smith has a grip of Shio Corrin’s head and legs and he’s just yanking them as hard as he can with Shio’s back against the two knees! This is a rarely seen Bow and Arrow submission maneuver, a classic of David Gideon Smith’s unorthodox and dangerous moveset!
Jake Mercer: This may cause Shio Corrin to tap out, with several minutes to spare! IS THIS GOING TO BE ENOUGH?! SHIO CORRIN IS YELLING OUT IN PAIN, AND THERE’S ALMOST NOTHING HE CAN DO EXCEPT FOR FLAIL AROUND TO GET OUT OF THIS HOLD! DAVID GIDEON SMITH’S GRIP IS IRON CLAD, THOUGH, HE’S NOT LETTING GO!
(Two minutes remain.)
Stew-O: WAIT, IS THAT… THE FUTURE ACE! SORN IS SCALING THE CORNER YET AGAIN AS HE TAKES AIM BELOW! THE FUTURE ACE TAKES TO THE SKIES, AND DAVID GIDEON SMITH IS TOO FOCUSED ON SHIO CORRIN TO TAKE NOTICE! SHIO CORRIN’S BACK IS AGAINST THE KNEES OF DAVID GIDEON SMITH, HIS HEAD AND LEGS ARE BEING WRENCHED AND STRETCHED OUT BY DAVID’S ARMS, AND NOW SORN IS–
Flannery McCoy: A SPLASH! A TOP ROPE SPLASH CONNECTS ONTO THE EXPOSED ABDOMEN OF SHIO CORRIN, WHO HAS THE KNEES OF DAVID GIDEON SMITH UNDER HIS BACK! SHIO MAY HAVE JUST FELT THE MOST PAIN HE HAS EVER EXPERIENCED IN HIS ENTIRE LIFE! THE ENTIRE BODY WEIGHT OF SORN JUST CRASHED DOWN ON SHIO CORRIN WITH NOTHING BUT THE KNEES OF DAVID GIDEON SMITH UNDERNEATH!
Jake Mercer: THAT MANEUVER HURT EVERYONE IN THE RING! DAVID GIDEON SMITH GOT CRUSHED WITH THE COMBINED BODY WEIGHT OF HIS OPPONENTS, AND SHIO’S BODY WASN’T ENOUGH TO CUSHION THE FACT THAT THERE WERE HARD KNEES RIGHT UNDERNEATH! ALL OF THE WRESTLERS ARE BADLY HURT, AND STRUGGLING AS HARD AS THEY CAN TO GET TO THEIR FEET!
(One minute remains.)
Stew-O: SOMEONE HAS TO TAKE THE VICTORY HERE! SHIO CORRIN IS COMPLETELY BRUTALIZED AND HE’S NOT ABLE TO GET TO HIS FEET, BUT DAVID GIDEON SMITH AND SORN BOTH TOOK LESS OF THE BRUNT OF THAT MANEUVER AS THEY’RE BOTH SLOWLY STARTING TO STAGGER UP! THEY HEARD THAT ANNOUNCEMENT TOO, THEY’RE FIGHTING THROUGH THE PAIN WITH AS MUCH ADRENALINE AS THEY CAN! WHO’S GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET IT?!
Flannery McCoy: SORN GOES TO PIN SHIO CORRIN, AND THAT MAY BE ENOUGH!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: DAVID GIDEON SMITH PULLS HIM OFF AND DRAGS HIM UP! DAVID UNLEASHES THE BLACK BLADE TAUNT BEFORE LAUNCHING OFF THAT MASSIVE LARIAT, BUT SORN IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDERNEATH IT AND RUN PAST DAVID! SORN RUSHES FOR THE MIDDLE ROPE AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF OF IT, SPRINGBOARDING TOWARDS DAVID GIDEON SMITH AS HE GOES FOR THAT FINISHING MANEUVER OF HIS, THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER!
Stew-O: OH MY GOD! THE UN|MAKER CONNECTS! DAVID GIDEON SMITH JUST CAUGHT THE BACK OF THE FUTURE ACE’S HEAD WITH THAT SUPERMAN ELBOW SMASH, ONE OF THE FINISHING MANEUVERS OF DAVID GIDEON SMITH! HE DRAGS SORN AWAY FROM THE ROPES, KICKS SHIO CORRIN OUT OF THE WAY AND HOOKS BOTH LEGS! DOES HE HAVE IT?!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(“Razorface” by Celldweller began blaring through the speakers yet again to a huge mixed reaction as David Gideon Smith rolls off of Sorn. Everybody in the ring looks utterly ravaged by this sudden death war, but David Gideon Smith is the one that is able to stagger up and rise out of the wreckage, having his arm raised by the referee.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… DAVID! GIDEON! SMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITH!
Stew-O: What a fast-paced, brutal match that was! All three of the New Breeds put in as much effort as they could given the timeframe, but that much effort led to some massive hard-hitting maneuvers that surely messed every single member of this match up, even David himself!
Flannery McCoy: Nonetheless, David Gideon Smith came into this match with the utmost confidence and with seconds left to spare, he was able to avert disaster and retaliate with his own finishing maneuver, knocking out the Future Ace as he did!
Jake Mercer: And now David Gideon Smith gets to march into the future of this season with his head held up high and as much momentum as I’ve seen from any of the other New Breeds!
Stew-O: Congratulations to the Sovereign, David Gideon Smith!
(The video feed lingers on the scene of chaos and brutality, with David Gideon Smith donning a stoic expression despite his celebration, before fading to black.)

Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING IS A TWO-OUT-OF-THREE FALLS MATCH WHERE THE LOSER LEAVES EAW!!!!
( The Seoul World Cup Stadium cheers in anticipation, but their excitement is immediately turned upside down as “It Ain’t Safe” by Skepta begins to play. Charlie Marr slowly arrives onto the stage, wearing a shit-eating grin while confidently rolling his shoulders back as he soaks in the atmosphere. He smirks at the negative reaction before making his way down to the ring. )
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST! From Tower Hamlets, London, United Kingdom, weighing in at 240 pounds.. HE IS AN EAW HALL OF FAMER.. “COLOSSUS,” CHARLIE… MARRRR!!!
Stew-O: The beginning of season here in Elite Answers Wrestling has always come with the territory of the entire locker room staking their claim on who will dominate it and that is what has led us to this match here tonight. These are two EAW Hall of Famers who vehemently want the EAW World Heavyweight Championship, but there is always only room reserved for the number one contender, and they have been on a warpath against each other to ensure that neither will be involved in that picture. Brian Daniels and Charlie Marr are willing to do whatever it takes to eliminate each other out of the running, and that includes putting their contract with this company on the line.
Jake Mercer: The winner of this match remains in Elite Answers Wrestling, while the other has no choice but to leave, and that’s the high stakes these two have agreed on because these are the measures they believe they must resort to ensure that the other no longer affects their ascension to the top of Dynasty.
Flannery McCoy: This all started when Charlie Marr took a liking to Brian Daniels as he began to stick his nose in his business and try to control the narrative early on. He has been trying to keep this business under his terms and Daniels has shown the limitations to the statement, and fought back, showing Marr that he will not allow him to use him as a stepping stone to the top of this brand.
( Charlie Marr stands in the middle of the ring as his theme song is eventually replaced by “Dragonborn” by Jeremy Soule. The Seoul crowd immediately brightens their tone, roaring in anticipation for the arrival of Brian Daniels. Daniels strides onto the stage once the beat drops, spreading both of his arms and accepting the crowd’s positive reception with open arms. He begins to caper down the ramp, eventually moving his arm and pointing his finger right at Charlie Marr. )
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT! From New York City, weighing in at 195 pounds.. HE IS AN EAW HALL OF FAMER.. BRIIIIANNNNN DANIELLLLLSSSS!!!
Stew-O: Charlie Marr has not shown any hesitation in his words leading up to this match by using Brian Daniels as an example on how not to be his self-proclamation of the greatest EAW Hall of Famer of all time. He believes Daniels is a disgrace to the honour itself, that there should be no spot in the locker room reserved for someone like him, and obviously Daniels will have to disagree to that. Listen to the reaction, and you can look back at the passion that Daniels has shown, especially in his incredible bout with Jay Jerry Johnson in Barcelona, that he isn’t here to waste anybody’s time. Daniels isn’t here to relive his glory days, he’s here to test his mettle and beat the best, and he is not going to allow Charlie Marr to try and prove otherwise.
Flannery McCoy: Brian Daniels has been riddled with the same narrative ever since he stepped back into this company almost two years ago, and his patience has run dry. He’s grown tired of people like Charlie Marr trying to tell him where he belongs, and this will serve as a nice opportunity for him to put Daniels in his place, but this is no exhibition match. This is no grudge match between these two because their futures with this company are up for grabs, and Daniels made this a Loser Leaves EAW match because he believes the only way that he can prove to himself, that he can win the big one like he used to do many years ago, that he must eliminate his competition one by one, and that starts by Charlie Marr.
Jake Mercer: Brian Daniels plans on eliminating Charlie Marr by not just defeating him, but ending his time with his company, and Marr also intends on doing the same. To both of these two elitists, there is only room for one EAW Hall of Famer between the both of them that can thrive, and tonight, this company will be left by one, but the question is raised; who will it be?
( Charlie Marr tries to taunt Daniels into engaging before the match, but keeps himself calm and composed. The referee pulls Marr back to his corner before signalling for the bell. )
( DING! DING! DING! )
Jake Mercer: This match is officially underway and it is LOSER.. LEAVES.. EAW!! Huge stakes are on the line tonight for both elitists and it appears that Brian Daniels and Charlie Marr continue to stand in their corners, staring at each other to see who will make the first move. They begin to circle the ring before finally engaging in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Marr immediately overpowers Daniels into the ropes, where the referee starts the five count. He slowly releases the hold, patting Daniels on the chest before backing off into the center of the ring.
Flannery McCoy: Charlie Marr trying to play the cerebral game early on, but Brian Daniels doesn’t seem to be phased by his tactics as they both engage in another collar-and-elbow tie-up. Marr almost tells the same story, but Daniels is able to switch into a side headlock. Marr rebounds him off the ropes, but Daniels brakes, sliding down onto one knee and keeping his opponent in place. Marr hoists him up for a back suplex, but Daniels drops him down with a headlock takedown. Charlie quickly gets him into a leg scissors, with Daniels trying to quickly kip-up out of it to no avail.
Stew-O: Charlie Marr keeps his legs glued shut, but Daniels is able to roll around, prying his legs apart and pulling out of the legscissors. He does it carefully, and DANIELS SUDDENLY KICKS HIM IN THE FACE!! MARR THROWS HIS HANDS UP TO BLOCK IT–
Flannery McCoy: Brian Daniels seemed to hold back on the power of his kick as he had his foot pressed on the forehead of Charlie Marr, holding a big smirk on his face before lightly tapping his head with his foot! That seems to set Marr off a bit, but he quickly composes himself as Daniels gives himself the space to get up to his feet.
Jake Mercer: Daniels is trying to play the mental game as well, engaging in another collar-and-elbow tie-up, but Marr doesn’t want to be technical anymore as he suddenly TURNS HIM AROUND AND APPLIES THE SLEEPER HOLD ON DANIELS! TRANQUILITY, BUT DANIELS QUICKLY DROPS DOWN, POINTS HIS LEGS UP AND TRAPS HIS LEFT SHOULDER IN BETWEEN THEM!!
Stew-O: DANIELS YANKS HIM DOWN INTO POSITION FOR THE FOURTH SEAL! THE OMOPLATA CROSSFACE, BUT MARR TAKES ADVANTAGE OF HIS CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE ROPES AND HOOKS HIS ENTIRE LEFT FOOT ONTO THE BOTTOM!! Daniels almost compromised him, but Marr escapes via the five count as Daniels has no choice but to abandon the Fourth Seal attempt.
Jake Mercer: Marr looking like he is glad he got out of that attempt as he continues to latch onto the ropes. Daniels tries to get him out of there, but the referee stands in between them. Marr taunts him when the ropes and Daniels presses him, forcing the referee to get physical and hold him back! AND MARR LANDS A BIG BOOT ON THE SIDE OF THE JAW OF DANIELS’ FACE!! TEXTBOOK TACTIC FROM THE EAW HALL OF FAMER–
Stew-O: NO!! BRIAN DANIELS HAD IT SCOUTED AND GOT OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND!! AND HE SMASHES MARR WITH A HEAVY RIGHT!! AND ANOTHER ONE!! BEFORE TRANSITIONING INTO MEATY FOREARM SMASHES TO CHARLIE!! Brian Daniels is bringing it to Charlie Marr as overwhelms him in the corner! AND DANIELS RUNS INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER AND BACK!! AND HE BLASTS HIM WITH THE CORNER DROPKICK–
Jake Mercer: CHARLIE MARR CATCHES BRIAN DANIELS INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION!! MARR LOOKS TO PLANT HIM, BUT DANIELS RAINS DOWN WITH LEFTS AND RIGHTS!! Marr is starting to lose balance, and Daniels sees how close he is to the ropes! DANIELS LEANS BACK, SPRINGING OFF THE THIRD ROPE WHILST IN THE POWERBOMB!! AND HE GAINS MOMENTUM TO WHEEL MARR AROUND INTO A HURRICANRANA!!
Stew-O: BUT MARR HOLDS ONTO DANIELS DURING THE HURRICANRANA, AND MANEUVERS HIM INTO A DEAD LIFT!! AND DROPS HIM DOWN WITH A POWERBOMB–NO!! HE DRIVES HIM DOWN ONTO HIS KNEE!! A POWERBOMB BACKBREAKER AS DANIELS FEELS IT IN HIS LOWER SPINE!! Charlie Marr doesn’t go for the pin as he decides to pull Daniels up to his feet instead!
Flannery McCoy: Charlie Marr quickly picks him up and slams him down with a scoop slam. He steps onto him to get past him before finding himself on the apron. Charlie Marr SLINGSHOTS HIMSELF OVER THE ROPE!! TO DESCEND DOWN WITH AN ELBOW DROP—
Stew-O: Brian Daniels precisely gets his feet up and drills him in the left shoulder before he could connect with the elbow drop! Marr holds his shoulder in pain as Daniels quickly runs the ropes!! AND HE SENDS CHARLIE OUT OF THE RING WITH A RUNNING LEG LARIAT!! DANIELS HAS GOTTEN HIM IN POSITION AS HE GOES FOR A TOPE SUICIDA!!
Jake Mercer: SUICIDE DI–NO!! CHARLIE MARR SLIDES INTO THE RING AT THE LAST SECOND!! AND HE MUSCLES DANIELS UP ON HIS SHOULDERS INTO A FRONT POWERSLAM!! BUT DANIELS COUNTERS INTO A SMALL PACKAGE PIN!!
Stew-O: DANIELS DOESN’T GO FOR A COVER AS HE IMMEDIATELY ROLLS UP ONTO HIS FEET WITH MARR’S WRISTS IN TOW!! AND HE STARTS STOMPING DOWN ON HIM!!! BUT MARR IS ABLE TO PULL THROUGH, REELING DANIELS TOWARDS HIM AND CLOBBERING HIM WITH A BIG HEADBUTT!!
Jake Mercer: Brian Daniels is stunned, leaving him vulnerable to be PLOPPED UP INTO A POWERBOMB!!!! BUT DANIELS REGAINS CONSCIOUSNESS AND TRAPS CHARLIE MARR INTO A GUILLOTINE CHOKE HOLD!! CHARLIE IS IN DEEP, DEEP TROUBLE, AS HE COULD LOSE THE FIRST FALL VIA SUBMISSION!!
Flannery McCoy: Charlie Marr backs himself up closer towards the ropes, and in lieu of grabbing the ropes, HE POWERS OUT AND PUSHES DANIELS OFF HIS SHOULDERS! AND DANIELS TUMBLES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND CRASHES ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!! Daniels spills out onto the outside as Marr catches his breath, recalibrating after almost being choked out by the guillotine choke hold.
Jake Mercer: Daniels hops back onto the apron and re-enters the rin–MARR SNATCHES HIS HEAD THROUGH THE ROPES! AND GOES FOR THE LAST JUDGMENT APRON DDT!!
Stew-O: BUT DANIELS GRABS ONTO HIS LEG AND TAKES HIM DOWN!! AND HE USES THE SECOND ROPE TO PROPEL HIMSELF INTO THE RING, ROLLING WITH MARR’S LEGS AND PLUCKING HIM OFF THE GROUND INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY!! WHAT IS DANIELS THINKING HERE?!?
Jake Mercer: Brian Daniels is looking for a death valley driver, but Marr with sudden elbows to the nape of Daniels, causing him to back up into the ropes and leaving Marr on the top turnbuckle! Daniels turns around and GETS CLOBBERED WITH A KICK TO THE FACE! MARR REMAINS ON THE TURNBUCKLE!! AND HE TAKES FLIGHT!! FOR A JUMPING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!!
Stew-O: BUT DANIELS GRABS HIS ARM IN MID-AIR!! AND SPIKES HIM DOWN WITH A BRIDGING SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX!!!!
Jake Mercer: Daniels countered the Death or Glory leaping European uppercut with a dragon suplex as Marr holds his neck in pain! He gets up to his feet and waits for Marr to get up! AND DANIELS NOW CHARGES OUT OF THE CORNER!! AND HE LOOKS TO DECAPITATE MARR WITH THE VALAR MORGHULIS!! THE BUKKAKE KNEE TO CHARLIE MARR!!!
Stew-O: NO!! DANIELS DOES NOT CONNECT WITH THE BUSAIKU KNEE STRIKE, AND THAT’S BECAUSE MARR DROPPED DOWN AND ROLLED OUT OF THE RING!! Charlie Marr clearly is not trying to continue the high-octane offense that these two have been up to since this bell rings as he ducks out of it! Marr tries to catch a breather, but Daniels is not going to let him do that as he slides out of the ring and catches him in his blind spot! AND HE BLASTS THE CHEST OF MARR WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!! AND ANOTHER ONE!! AND HE NOW BEGINS TO PLOW ON HIM WITH REPEATED FOREARM SMASHES!!
Flannery McCoy: AND MARR HAS ENOUGH!! AS HE EXPLODES AND THRUSTS DANIELS INTO THE APRON!! Marr now catches a breather before hooking Daniels in position.. FOR AN EXPLODER SUPLEX INTO THE BARRICADE, BUT DANIELS DESPERATELY BLOCKS IT WITH DOWNWARD ELBOWS INTO THE NECK OF MARR!! AND MARR LETS GO!! AND HE EATS ANOTHER ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE CHEST!
Jake Mercer: Charlie Marr is getting a whole chest workout via the roundhouse kicks from Brian Daniels, as he eats another one! Marr is cornered against the ringpost as Daniels now riles himself up! AND HE GOES FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE TEMPLE–
POW!
Flannery McCoy: MARR SIDESTEPPED THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK!! AND DANIELS SMASHES HIS LEFT FOOT AGAINST THE RINGPOST!! THAT’S GOTTA HURT, AS NOW MARR QUICKLY SNATCHES THE COMPROMISED DANIELS UP!! AND HE DROPS HIM DOWN WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!!!
Jake Mercer: Charlie Marr admires his own handiwork before quickly getting up and sliding back into the ring! He has both of his hands on the rope.. AS HE SLINGSHOTS OVER THE TOP ROPE!! AND DESCENDS ONTO THE HEART OF BRIAN DANIELS WITH A BIG ELBOW DROP!! CHARLIE MARR WITH A BIG ELBOW DROP AS HE NOW GETS DANIELS BACK INTO THE RING AS WE MAY BE CLOSING IN ON THE FIRST FALL OF THIS MATCH!
Stew-O: Charlie Marr jumps onto the apron, ascends the turnbuckles and is now perched! Daniels is up as well, holding his midsection with his back turned to his opponent! AND MARR LEAPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! AND OBLITERATES DANIELS IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH DEATH OR GLORY!! DIVING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD AS HE GOES FOR THE COVER!! COULD THIS BE THE FIRST FALL!!
ONEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOO!!!
TH–
Jake Mercer: Daniels pops his shoulder off the canvas and Marr angrily transitions him into a headlock. This was very evenly-matched up until this point, where Marr has gotten in control of the tempo and pace of this match, on his terms just like how he likes it. However, that won’t be easy as Daniels is starting to show some life and struggle out of the headlock. Marr tries to tighten the headlock, but Daniels with strong punches to the midsection, which is quelled with a big knee to his midsection.
Stew-O: Charlie Marr lets go of the headlock and irish whips him into the ropes. Daniels with the rebound, and Marr leans down, perhaps to choreograph a back body drop, but Daniels has it scouted and kicks him square in the jaw. Marr is on spaghetti legs, as Daniels rebounds off the ropes again! AND DANIELS GOES FOR A LEAPING CLOTHESLINE! BUT MARR INTERCEPTS IN MID-AIR WITH A PRECISION HIGH-ANGLE DROPKICK STRAIGHT TO THE JAW!
Jake Mercer: Charlie Marr continues the assault as he drags Daniels to a vertical base, pulling him in by the wrist! AND HOISTING HIM UP FOR THE PATENTED SPINEBUSTER! THE HEADMASTER RITUAL–NO! Daniels rotates his lower body in mid-air and wraps Marr up in a wheelbarrow pin! Daniels doesn’t pin him down, but instead uses the momentum to pop up to his feet! AND HE DRILLS MARR ON THE CROWN OF HIS BALD HEAD WITH A JUMPING AXE KICK!! HE CALLS THAT KINGSLAYER!
Stew-O: Brian Daniels is looking to slay a tyrant here in Seoul, as he now approaches Marr while he gets up to his feet! AND HE BEGINS TO PEPPER HIM WITH A MYRIAD OF STRIKES! A SPINNING ELBOW! A FOREARM SMASHED! FOLLOWED BY A KICK TO THE LEG! AND THEN PIVOTS BACK INTO A BACKFIST!! AND THEN BEFORE STORMING AROUND!! AND LOOKING TO FINISH THE DRAGON SHOUT COMBINAT–
Jake Mercer: CHARLIE MARR WITH A DOUBLE AXE CHOP TO THE THROAT OF DANIELS! AN EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO THE DRAGON SHOUT AS NOW MARR HOOKS BOTH ARMS!! THE QUEEN IS DEAD!! NO! DANIELS ROTATES OUT OF POSITION!! AND HITS A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE TO THE JAW OF MARR!!
Stew-O: Daniels runs into the ropes! AND HE STORMS RIGHT INTO MARR!! BUT DANIELS RUNS RIGHT INTO THE HEADMASTER RITUAL!!! THE SPINEBUSTER CONNECTS AS MARR HAS GOT HIM WHERE HE WANTS HIM!
Flannery McCoy: Charlie Marr gets up to his feet and lets out of a war cry as he awaits for Daniels to gingerly get up to his feet! Marr is getting impatient! We could be closing in on the first call! AS DANIELS TURNS AROUND! MARR WITH A KICK TO THE GUT!! HOOKS BOTH LEGS!! AND DROPS HIM WITH THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT!!!
Stew-O: BUT RIGHT AS MARR HOOKED HIS LEFT ARM, DANIELS AWAKENED AND INTERLOCKED ARMS!! AND HE NOW PULLS HIM DOWN INTO THE FOURTH SEAL!! THE FOURTH SEAL!! THE OMOPLATA CROSSFACE IS LOCKED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AND THIS COULD ONLY SPELL TROUBLE FOR THE FORMER EAW WORLD CHAMPION!
Flannery McCoy: BUT MARR STILL HAS A LOT OF HIS INCREDIBLE STRENGTH STORED AS HE IS ABLE TO PRY APART THE ARMS OF DANIELS!! AND HE CHIPS AWAY AT THE FOURTH SEAL WITH REPEATED ELBOWS TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! Daniels is in a doozy, and Marr mounts onto his back, as he looks to try and TRAP DANIELS INTO THE REAR-NAKED CHOKEHOLD!
Jake Mercer: BUT DANIELS HAS TRAINED FOR MOMENTS LIKE THESE! AS HE IS BLOCKING HIM FROM GETTING HIM INTO POSITION FOR THE TRANQUILITY!! DANIELS IS TRYING TO ANGLE HIMSELF OUT OF HERE! Marr grows impatient and DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! BUT HE MAINTAINS THE WAIST LOCK, SOLELY TO GET HIM UP TO HIS FEET AND REAPPLY THE TRANQUILITY CHOKER!!
Flannery McCoy: The German Suplex only worked to soften Daniels for a couple of seconds, as he gains some sort of second wind and STEPS UP OFF THE TURNBUCKLES!! AND DANIELS’ BODY WEIGHT SHIFTS ON MARR AND HE ROLLS OVER! BOTH SHOULDERS ARE DOWN TO THE MAT!!
ONEEEE!!
TWOOOO!!
TH-
Jake Mercer: KICK-OUT! MARR LETS GO AT THE RIGHT TIME, BUT RIGHT AS HE SITS UP, HE GETS BLASTED WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!! DANIELS SCURRIES INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER, TRYING TO RECOLLECT HIMSELF AFTER BEING IN THE TRANQUILITY FOR QUITE SOME TIME!
Stew-O: Brian Daniels stumbles out of the corner and snatches Marr with a front facelock. He throws the arm over and elevates him into a suplex position! DANIELS AIMS FOR THE BRAINBUSTER! BUT MARR REGAINS CONSCIOUSNESS AND HOVERS OVER HIS SHOULDERS!! AND CHARLIE MARR WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!
Jake Mercer: Brian Daniels lands on his feet! Marr is up, oblivious as Daniels wraps his arms around his waist from behind! Daniels presses him into the ropes, causing a rebound and both men to go rolling down into the canvas! AND DANIELS FLATTENS MARR WITH THE O’CONNOR ROLL–
Stew-O: MARR SWINGS HIM DOWN!! AND DANIELS FALLS RIGHT INTO A REAR-NAKED CHOKEHOLD!! TRANQUILITY!! TRANQUILITY!!
Jake Mercer: BUT DANIELS REFUSES TO LET HIM GET THIS ONE, AS HE IS ABLE TO MANEUVER HIS LEGS AND ROLL BACKWARDS!
Stew-O: DANIELS LOOKS TO PIN HIM DOWN AGAIN, BUT MARR GETS HIS LEGS UP TO TRY AND RETURN HIM BACK INTO THE LEG SCISSORS!!
Jake Mercer: BUT DANIELS WRAPS HIS ARM AROUND THE KNEE OF MARR AND USES IT TO ANCHOR HIM DOWN!
ONEEEE!
TWOOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Jake Mercer: HE GOT HIM!! HE GOT THE FIRST FALL!!!
Stephie Love: Brian Daniels has secured the first fall!
Stew-O: WOW!! Brian Daniels used his deeper knowledge of wrestling the ground to confuse Marr into a pinning predicament that he couldn’t get out of! AND CHARLIE MARR IS IN FUMES!! HE IS APOPLECTIC BECAUSE HE JUST LET THE FIRST FALL GO TO DANIELS JUST LIKE THAT!!
( Charlie Marr is right in the face of the referee, shouting at him while Daniels is smiling in the corner. )
Charlie Marr (off-mic): WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THAT WAS THREE!? MY SHOULDERS WEREN’T DOWN–
Stew-O: VALAR MORGHULIS!! THE BUSAIKU KNEE STRIKE TO THE JAW AS MARR IS DOWN!! MARR GOT HIMSELF OCCUPIED COMPLAINING TO THE REFEREE, AND NOW HE’S DOWN AND OUT!!
Jake Mercer: AND DANIELS DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER!! HE HOOKS THE LEFT ARM OF CHARLIE MARR, AND HE APPLIES THE FOURTH SEAL IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!! THE OMOPLATA CROSSFACE FOLLOWING THE VALAR MORGHULIS!! THIS IS NOT GOOD!
Stew-O: Charlie Marr let his temper get the best of him, leaving him vulnerable to being hit with the busaiku knee strike and then now trapped with nowhere to go in the omoplata crossface! Charlie Marr could be seconds away from tapping his Elite Answers Wrestling career away!!
Jake Mercer: CHARLIE MARR TRIES TO PRY HIS ARMS OUT OF THE FOURTH SEAL!! DANIELS LETS OF THE FOURTH SEAL MOMENTARILY, BUT HE USES THAT TIME TO WEAKEN MARR WITH CLUBBING BLOWS TO THE HEAD!! MARR DROPS HIS ARMS AS DANIELS IS JUST REPEATEDLY BASHING HIS HEAD IN!!
Stew-O: AND DANIELS RETRACTS HIS HEAD FOR THE FOURTH SEAL!! CHARLIE MARR IS IN DEEP TROUBLE!!
Jake Mercer: NO!! MARR IS ABLE TO SLIP HIS HEAD THROUGH THE ARMS OF DANIELS… AND HE CRADLES DANIELS AND ROLLS BOTH OF THEM BACKWARDS INTO THE MAT…
Stew-O: MARR LETS GO.. AND DANIELS GETS HIS BODY HALFWAY THROUGH THE ROPES! CHARLIE QUICKLY GETS UP!! GRABS HIS HEAD!! AND SPIKES HIM DOWN WITH THE APRON DDT!! THE LAST JUDGMENT CONNECTS, BUT MARR IS TOO EXHAUSTED TO GET THE COVER!
Jake Mercer: That was an incredible transition out of the Fourth Seal! Marr rolled him over, just perfectly in an angle where Daniels would have his lower body hanging over the second rope, putting him in position for the Last Judgment apron DDT! Charlie Marr calculated that move, but now he needs to worry about recovering after being in the Fourth Seal for such a prolonged amount of time!
Stew-O: Charlie Marr sluggishly gets up to his feet and approaches Daniels in the corner. Daniels is trying to shake the cobwebs, leaving him vulnerable for MARR TO JUST START AGGRESSIVELY STOMPING HIM DOWN IN THE CORNER! CHARLIE IS STOMPING A MUDHOLE INTO DANIELS! AS HE NOW STARTS BRUSHING HIS HEAD WITH HIS FOOT BACK AND FORTH!! MARR IS LOOKING TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF HIM!
Flannery McCoy: Especially when you consider how embarrassing it was to cede the first fall to him like that, Marr has every right to be pissed off! However, he cannot let his emotions run amok as that is exactly how he got trapped in the Fourth Seal a few moments ago!
Stew-O: CHARLIE SLAPS AT DANIELS! BEFORE SPITTING AT HIM RIGHT IN HIS FACE!! ABSOLUTELY DISRESPECTFUL FROM THE TYRANT, AS NOW CHARLIE TURNS HIS BACK TO RUN TO THE OPPOSITE CORNE–
Flannery McCoy: BRIAN DANIELS FOLLOWED HIM INTO THE CORNER!! AND NAILED HIM WITH A KICK INTO THE CORNER!! STARKILLER TO THE JAW AS CHARLIE DROPS DOWN FROM THE CORNER LIKE A SACK OF POTATOES!!
Jake Mercer: I THINK THAT HUMILIATION HAS IMPASSIONED DANIELS AS HE IS STARTING TO FEEL IT HERE AT RECKLESS WIRING!! AS HE NOW HAS CHARLIE MARR IN HIS CROSSHAIRS!!
Stew-O: CHARLIE JUST BARELY GOT UP TO HIS FEET AFTER THE STARKILLER.. AND NOW DANIELS RUSHES OUT OF THE CORNER!
Flannery McCoy: BRIAN DANIELS SPINS AROUND.. PIVOTS AND STEPS INTO THE CAUSTIC ECHO!! SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK LANDS ON MARR!! THAT IS IT!!
Stew-O: DENIED!! MARR DUCKED UNDER AND PULLS DANIELS DOWN INTO A SCHOOL-BOY!! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT!! MARR HAS A HANDFUL OF THE TIGHTS!!
THREE!!!!

Jake Mercer: SIN SALIDA!! DOUBLE FOOT STOMP IS DELIVERED TO THE HEART OF BRIAN DANIEL–
Flannery McCoy: NO!! DANIELS CAPTURES HIS ARM IN MID-AIR AND LOOKS TO DRAG HIM DOWN INTO THE FOURTH SEAL!! THE OMOPLATA CROSSFACE!!
Stew-O: BUT CHARLIE MARR HAS LEARNED HIS LESSON ONE TOO MANY TIMES AS HE ROLLS FORWARD AND ESCAPES OUT OF THE FOURTH SEAL!
Jake Mercer: Charlie Marr swings for a lariat! Daniels ducks it and rebounds off the ropes! DANIELS LATCHES ONTO MARR!! TRAVELLING AROUND HIS BODY IN TILT-A-WHIRL MOTION!! AND FLATTENING CHARLIE ONTO HIS STOMACH!! AND HE NOW QUICKLY FOLLOWS IT UP WITH THE FOURTH SEAL!!
Stew-O: CHARLIE MARR STILL HAS FIGHT LEFT IN HIM AS HE BLOCKS DANIELS FROM INTERLOCKING HIS FINGERS AND EXTENDING BACK FOR THE OMOPLATA CROSSFACE!! AND DANIELS RELEASES FOR THE CLUBBING FOREARMS, BUT MARR BLOCKS IT AND STARTS DIGGING AT HIM WITH ELBOWS TO THE SIDE!
Flannery McCoy: Charlie Marr clutches Daniels from the side AND DEADLIFTS HiM OFF!! DANIELS COUNTERS IT WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL MOTION!! BUT MARR SNATCHES HIM AT THE END OF THE ROTATION!! AND HAS BOTH ARMS HOOKED!!
THE QUEEN IS DEAD! THE QUEEN IS DEAD!
Stew-O: NO!!! DANIELS, OUT OF PURE DESPERATION, SHOVES MARR AWAY AND HE COLLIDES INTO THE REFEREE!! THE REFEREE SPILLS OUT ONTO THE RINGSIDE!!
Jake Mercer: This isn’t goo–CHARLIE MARR WITH A LOW BLOW TO BRIAN DANIELS! A KICK TO THE GROIN AS HE NOW CLENCHES BOTH ARMS!! AND HE DRILLS DANIELS DOWN WITH THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT!! THE QUEEN IS DEAD!! ITS OVER!! THIS IS EXACTLY HOW CHARLIE LEFT DANIELS ON THE GO-HOME SHOW!!
( The referee slowly gets back in and starts to administer the count. )
ONEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Jake Mercer: DING! DING! DING!
Stew-O: NO!!! BRIAN DANIELS DOES NOT HAVE TO LEAVE EAW YET AS HE HAS JUST BARELY BEEN ABLE TO REACH HIS SHOULDER UP BEFORE THE THREE COUNT! ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!!
Flannery McCoy: I SWEAR IT WAS OVER RIGHT THERE!! I SAW THE REFEREE’S HAND TOUCH THE MAT, BUT DANIELS STAYS ALIVE IN THIS MATCH! Charlie Marr now grabs Daniels by both of his wrists and begins to stomp his head in! Marr gives him a taste of his own medicine before he pulls him up!
Jake Mercer: CHARLIE MARR WITH A CLUBBING LARIAT STRIKE TO THE JAW OF DANIELS!!! AND HE KEEPS DANIELS UP!! BEFORE CLOBBERING HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH ANOTHER INSIDE FOREARM!! HE IS TURNING HIS BRAIN INTO MULCH AT THIS POINT!
Flannery McCoy: Charlie Marr raises his arm as he is signalling for the end of this match, or, for the end of Brian Daniels’ EAW CAREER! AS HE NOW RUNS THE ROPES!!
Jake Mercer: MARR REBOUNDS THE ROPES.. AND HE SPINS OUT FOR THE CHARING CROSS!!!
……
..
.
Stew-O: AND CHARLIE TURNS HIM INSIDE OUT WITH THE DISCUS LARIAT!! THAT IS IT FOR BRIAN DANIELS!!
Flannery McCoy: NO!! BRIAN DANIELS DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE AT THE LAST SECOND! MARR MISSES THE CHARING CROSS AND LOSES HIS BALANCE!!
Jake Mercer: CAUSTIC ECHO!! MARR TURNED AROUND AND ATE A VICIOUS DISCUS ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE TEMPLE!! MARR IS DONE FOR! MARR IS DONE!! HE IS DOWN!!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOO!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
…….
..
.
Stew-O: NO!!! CHARLIE MARR GETS HIS SHOULDER UP IN THE NICK OF TIME!! DANIELS ALMOST HAD THIS SECURED IN THE BAG!
Flannery McCoy: Brian Daniels is frozen in shock, wondering what to do next, but he eventually snaps back into place and holds Marr up by his wrists! AND HE STARTS CHIPPING AWAY AT HIM FROM STOMPS!! HE’S GIVING HIM THE ENERGY BACK AS DANIELS LANDS ONE FINAL STOMP BEFORE BACKING UP INTO THE CORNER!!
Stew-O: Oh no… OH NO!! DANIELS HAS THAT LOOK IN HIS EYES!! AS WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE’S GOING FOR!! HE’S GOING TO PUNT MARR RIGHT OUT OF THIS COMPANY!!!
Jake Mercer: MARR IS ON ALL FOURS… DANIELS MAKES THE SPRINT!! AND HE DELIVERS THE PUNT KICK!! THIS IS IT!!

Jake Mercer: KICK-OUT!! AND NOW BOTH MEN GET UP TO THEIR FEET SIMULTANEOUSLY!!!
Stew-O: AND MARR CIRCLES THE WAIST AND ADMINISTERS THE TRANQUILITY CHOKE HOLD ON DANIELS!! MARR IS GOING FOR THE SUBMISSION!!
Flannery McCoy: DANIELS DROPS DOWN AND TRIES TO VAULT HIM DOWN! BUT MARR PUSHES DOWN ON HIS LEGS AND PINS HIM DOWN! HE LEARNED FROM THE FIRST TIME!
ONEEEEE!
TWOOOOO!!
THREEEEEE!!
Jake Mercer: DANIELS GETS HIS SHOULDER UP!! BUT MARR IMMEDIATELY TRANSITIONS THE PIN INTO A WHEELBARROW… PLUCKS HIM OFF THE GROUND AND TOSSES HIM ACROSS THE RING WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!! WHAT INSANE DISPLAY OF POWER!!!
Stew-O: BUT BRIAN DANIELS LANDS ON HIS FEET!!
Flannery McCoy: MARR TURNS AROUND AND GETS HIT WITH A FOREARM!! MARR WITH A FOREARM BACK!!! DANIELS! MARR! DANIELS!! MARR!! DANIELS!! MARR!! AND MARR WITH A BIG HEADBUTT AS DANIELS REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES!

Flannery McCoy: AND THEY BOTH RUN OFF THE ROPES!! AND THEY NAIL EACH OTHER WITH KICKS ONCE AGAIN….

Jake Mercer: This is incredible! Both elitists have been hitting each other with all their might and they are still not down and out! WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET RID OF EACH OTHER!?!?
( Charlie Marr and Brian Daniels are holding onto dear life onto the second rope from either side of the ring, as their pure hatred for each other is what is keeping them up. Charlie begins to pull off his shoulder pad while Daniels tightens his left boot. )
Charlie Marr: (off-mic) YOU.. DON’T… BELONG.. HERE!!
Brian Daniels: (off-mic) I… AM.. NOT.. GOING.. ANYWHERE!!
Flannery McCoy: MARR AND DANIELS ARE STARING LASERS RIGHT INTO EACH OTHER.. AS THEY NOW GINGERLY STUMBLE ONTO THEIR FEET!!
Stew-O: AND THEY SPRINT AT EACH OTHER AT THE SAME TIME!! WHAT IS HAPPENING!?!
Jake Mercer: MARR SPRINTS.. AND HE SPINS AROUND FOR THE CHARING CROSS DISCUS LARIAT!!
Stew-O: BUT LOOK.. BRIAN DANIELS IS SPINNING AROUND FOR THE CAUSTIC ECHO DISCUS ROUNDHOUSE KICK AS WELL!!
Flannery McCoy: BOTH MEN AIMING FOR THEIR FINISHERS HERE!! WHO WILL HIT EACH OTHER FIRST!??!
………….
…….
….
POW!!!!
Stew-O: THEY HIT EACH OTHER AT THE SAME TIME!! MARR IS DOWN!! DANIELS DOWN!! BOTH MEN ARE OUT–
…….
….
..
Jake Mercer: WAIT… BRIAN DANIELS HIT THE CAUSTIC ECHO!! MARR IS OUT!! DANIELS GOES FOR THE COVER!!
ONEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
( DING! DING! DING! )
( The crowd roars before “Dragonborn” by Jeremy Soule begins to play as Brian Daniels lets go of the pin in relief and satisfaction. )
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… BRIIIIIANNNNNNN DANIIEELLLLLSSSSS!!
Jake Mercer: BRIAN DANIELS HAS DONE IT.. HE HAS.. DONE IT!! HE HAS GOTTEN RID OF CHARLIE MARR FOR GOOD.. AND HE HAS PROVEN HIM, ALONG WITH OTHER DOUBTERS IN THIS INDUSTRY THAT HE BELONGS HERE…
Flannery McCoy: Charlie Marr’s time here in Elite Answers Wrestling comes to an end here at Reckless Wiring, and it comes at a huge war between these two. Charlie Marr and Brian Daniels put everything on the line, but all it came down to who had more heart? Who had more soul? Who had just a little bit more of fight in them.. and it all came down to Brian Daniels, who just had the little bit of energy in him to land that Caustic Echo kick on Charlie Marr.
Stew-O: This was an all-out war, a two-out-of-three falls match at its finest, and it is Brian Daniels who reigns supreme, and perhaps inches himself closer towards an opportunity at the EAW World Heavyweight Championship. Charlie Marr, however? He is no longer with this company and that is surely a hard pill to swallow for him.
Jake Mercer: Brian Daniels knew how bold it was to make this a Loser Leaves EAW match, but he also knew that this would be an offer too good for Marr to pass up. But, now the bell has been rung. The dust has settled, and it is almost certain that Charlie Marr is regretting that decision to accept it. These two knew that there was only room for either man to thrive on Friday nights, and now there is one less man to worry about.
( Brian Daniels hops up the ramp, raising his arms and celebrating his hard-earned victory. His theme song dies out, as the full focus of the production and the fans zero in on a distraught Charlie Marr sitting on the apron. Marr hasn’t moved an inch since he was able to regain consciousness, most likely reluctant to accept the results. )
Stew-O: Charlie Marr wanted to settle his problem with Brian Daniels on his own terms.. but it seems like that has blown right up in front of him…
( Charlie Marr is disappointed, as he is shaking his head side to side. He looks up to the crowd as he begins to walk up the ramp. )
Crowd: NA. NA.. NA… NA. NA. NA…..
Crowd: HEY! HEY! GOODBYE!!!
Stew-O: There is no doubt that Charlie Marr has left such an indelible mark on this industry. He is an EAW Hall of Famer after all, and his impact will still be here even when he’s gone from this company.
Crowd: NA! NA! NA! NA! NA! NA! HEY HEY HEY!! GOOD BYE!!
( ….However, Charlie isn’t bitter. Though he isn’t happy that everything unfolded, reminiscing on the terror he brought, succeeding when no one else wanted him to, people doing everything they could to stop him because he didn’t fit their ideals of an honorable Elitist… he smiles. )
(It’s faint. But it’s there.)
(So, the crowd giving him all his hate for this final moment feels right at home. Their vitriol can spread, but it can never wipe away his legacy.)
(The final shot shows Charlie Marr walking off, his head held a little more high, as Reckless Wiring fades.)

Stephie Love: The following is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Stephie Love: AND IT IS FOR THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP, CONTESTED UNDER PURE! RULES!
(‘The Weight’ by Amigo the Devil starts blaring throughout the PA speakers, and a blood red filter comes over the screen as Kirk walks out on the stage. He never takes his eyes off the ring as if possessed. As Amanda comes up behind him, he takes her hand. The color slowly returns to normal, but just before the ring, Kirk pounds on the apron five times before rolling into the ring. He never responds to the crowd.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, accompanied by Amanda, from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 210 pounds… he is “UNKILLABLE!” KIIIIIRRRRKKKK! REEDDDWOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDD!!!!
Jake Mercer: For years, Kirk Redwood has been in pursuit of that first singles championship victory here in EAW. He’s come close many times, and he’s even had past run-ins with BRAE. BRAE may be fresh off winning at Pain For Pride, but Redwood will do anything in his power to take that moment from him and create one of his own.
Stew-O: And you’ve gotta think—under these PURE Rules, that has to benefit Redwood, who has a very submission heavy arsenal. He may work BRAE down and truly force him to utilize all of those rope breaks before you know it!
(As Kirk’s theme fades out, ‘ULTRA INSTINCT THEME’ by Carameii is the next theme song to hit and the applause can be heard as BRAE marches out with the Interwire Championship around his waist. He’s just as fired up as Redwood, and he beats his chest a couple of times, marching down the ring. BRAE tags a couple of fans, but his focus is on the match. He stomps up the steps and enters the ring, coming face-to-face with his opponent as he raises his championship up.)
Stephie Love: His opponent, from Bray County Wicklow, Ireland, weighing in at 215 pounds… he is THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION! “SON” BRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Flannery McCoy: But as you can see, the will of the Interwire Champion is unrelenting! He does not care who is in front of him, he will bring the fight to any and everyone, and we’re seeing that tonight! Last week, it was Kirk Redwood who knocked BRAE’s lights out with .50 Cal, and tonight feels like a chance for the champion to send a message as a result.
Jake Mercer: If he can. Kirk knows that BRAE is going to be fired up, and he’s shown up extremely intense in his own right. I don’t know if anything will necessarily be guaranteed here. Both of these men are going to hurt the hell out of each other, I think that’s all that matters.
(DING DING DING!)
Stew-O: PURE Rules are underway and you are sure to expect some grounded, gritty, and hard-hitting wrestling tonight. BRAE and Kirk Redwood approach the center of the ring and they share a nod. Both men are aware of what it’ll take to leave with the win tonight and they raise their hands up in the air. They lunge forward afterwards, locking hands and applying a Greco-Roman knuckle lock! Kirk gets the initial advantage, starting to push BRAE back! BRAE won’t falter, though, as he starts to push back against Redwood! Redwood is the one struggling now, his feet digging into the canvas. He can’t quite hold his balance like he would prefer, and BRAE is taking full advantage of that.
Jake Mercer: BRAE places his foot behind the leg of Kirk, and now he starts to get him down to the canvas. Kirk bridges up, not allowing his shoulders to touch the canvas. BRAE takes note of this and he brilliantly slides his leg to the left, sweeping Kirk’s legs from underneath him. He has to abandon the bridge and his shoulders immediately touch the canvas as a result. BRAE presses down, making the first pinfall of this match!
Referee: ONNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk raises his left arm immediately after! BRAE’s eyes dart toward his arm and he forces it back down to the canvas with all of his might!
Referee: OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
Stew-O: And now, Kirk raises the RIGHT arm! This only serves to incite BRAE, who is trying to establish an early advantage with this knuckle lock, but Redwood is still very fresh and very strong. BRAE has no choice but to press the right arm down to the canvas as well!
Referee: OOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Jake Mercer: Redwood with another kick out! BRAE shifts to his side. He propels his body from the canvas and tries to leap onto Redwood, mounting him and applying his body weight on him to make it harder for him to kick out—but Kirk anticipates the transition and he raises his feet in the air just in time, pushing BRAE off of him. BRAE lands onto his feet, but as he does so, Redwood holds on to his hands and in fact uses BRAE to help him kip up and rise to his feet!
Stew-O: Quite the chess move from Kirk, who is now up on his feet and still tightly locked into that Greco-Roman knuckle lock. Before he can capitalize on an attack on BRAE, though, he starts driving knees into the ribs of Redwood! Three knees in succession and Kirk doubles over, caught off guard by that onslaught. BRAE dips his head to the pit of Redwood, and since his hands are tied, he can’t do anything as BRAE scoops him up for a northern lights suplex! And he bridges for the cover!
Referee: OOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk kicks out by simply shifting his body to the side! If BRAE did a traditional northern lights suplex by hooking his body around the waist, it wouldn’t allow Kirk to counter like that. Instead, both men rise, hands still locked with one another… BRAE swings his leg forward with another knee to the body, but it’s Kirk Redwood’s head who meets BRAE’s skull before the knee can meet his abdomen!
Jake Mercer: That was a nasty sound of the bone-to-bone contact, and Redwood with another headbutt! A third headbutt! And a fourth headbutt! BRAE may be completely dazed right now, and Kirk looks to capitalize—NO! BRAE follows up by throwing an elbow to the jaw! His hands may be tied, but his elbows aren’t! BRAE throws another elbow, but Redwood doesn’t falter! He may have stung him across the jaw with that one, but Redwood decides to match BRAE’s game by throwing an elbow of his own! Now these two men are jockeying for position with a war of elbows!
Stew-O: BRAE catches Kirk with another one, but Kirk follows up with a big kick to the ribs! BRAE wheezes, and Kirk kicks him in the gut again! Kirk now uses his power to his advantage, pressing BRAE back! The pain in his abdomen is not doing BRAE any favors, and now it’s Kirk who wrestles BRAE down to the canvas, pressing his shoulders to the canvas.
Referee: OOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Flannery McCoy: Immediately, BRAE bridges out of the pinfall. Kirk shakes his head as he now tries to press his shoulders down to the canvas, just like BRAE did to him. But as we talk parallels, it’s BRAE who kips up to his feet! He throws a kick to the shin of Redwood and twirls underneath, making it so his arms are crossing into his throat! Kirk struggles as he’s being choked by himself, then BRAE steps forward and tosses Kirk over his shoulder with a very effective snapmare! Finally, the Greco-Roman knuckle lock has been broken!
Jake Mercer: But as BRAE gets Kirk over the shoulder, he comes charging in, ready to take him down—but Kirk sees BRAE barreling his way and he wraps his arm around his neck, bringing him down with a beautiful headlock takeover! Now we’re moving into headlock territory as Kirk presses down on the chest of BRAE, making it much harder for him to breathe while his arm smothers his head and neck. BRAE reaches out, calling for any support from the crowd.
Stew-O: As Kirk positions himself, his hand rests against the side of BRAE’s head, covering his vision and giving him two different things to worry about. Kirk moves his hand up, and now it’s his forearm placed against the corner of BRAE’s eye and pressing his head down to the mat. BRAE slaps at the back of Kirk, to no avail. It feels as if he’s trapped in that headlock, and that’s not the feeling you want to have. These headlocks wear you out quick, and BRAE is in for a long bout tonight, make no mistake about it.
Flannery McCoy: He doesn’t bother trying to work his way back up, instead, BRAE creates a fight with the hands of Kirk. He pulls at the fingers of Kirk’s hand and starts to push the forearm of Kirk, making it easier for him to see. Kirk’s hand slips down, but all it does is help him tighten the grip of the headlock. However, he leans his head in as he’s doing so, and now BRAE pushes his hand on the jaw of Redwood and shoves his head back. BRAE pushes his body up at the same exact time, and he throws his legs in the air, catching Kirk’s head into a headscissors!
Jake Mercer: BRAE immediately sits up and the tides have shifted to a great deal. Kirk is trapped in the headscissors and BRAE is doing everything to cut off his air waves. Kirk flails his arm out, groaning. He rolls to the side, trying to push his head out of this grip, but it’s no use. He wraps his arms around the legs of BRAE, looking to create some sort of gap between his legs. BRAE starts throwing punches at the back of Kirk, though. Kirk angrily grumbles from the canvas—but with Pure Rules, nothing stops the participants from throwing closed fist punches to anywhere in the body besides the head and groin.
Stew-O: However, BRAE is a little too focused on those punches…! And Redwood finds an opening! He pries his head out enough, and then rolls his body forward, sandwiching BRAE and bringing him down with a jackknife pinfall!
Referee: OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO—
Flannery McCoy: BRAE has his arms tightly wrapped around the waist and look at the strength! He bridges out of the pinfall, and he deadlifts Redwood along with him! Redwood’s eyes widen, as he gets lifted and carried like it’s nothing! BRAE makes his way up, and he slowly twists himself and Kirk around, releasing the grip around his waist and replacing it with a tight grip on the arms… yanking him down for a backslide pinfall!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jake Mercer: KICK OUT FROM REDWOOD! BUT AS HE DOES SO! HE HOLDS ONTO BRAE’S ARM BEFORE HE CAN LEAVE THE BACKSLIDE GRIP! Kirk rolls BRAE over onto his back and he traps the arm, wrapping his bicep around the arm and neck of BRAE! BRAE’s eyes widen when he realizes what Kirk is going for and despite his flailing and shifting around, Kirk locks him in ‘SOLITARY CONFINEMENT!’
Stew-O: HE’S GOT THAT ARM TRIANGLE IN! BRAE is struggling, doing all that he can in an attempt to get free! But Kirk won’t let him go! He’s got that choke in tight, and given his position, he’s made it so BRAE can’t easily get around the ring either! BRAE struggles, trying to slip his free hand underneath Kirk’s bicep. He’s doing everything in his power to fight the grip and give himself some more air, but it’s not looking good whatsoever!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk lets out a LOUD roar, as he feels as if this one is already secure! BRAE’s face is turning red, and the referee continues to look in concern! Kirk won’t let BRAE have anything! He’s going to choke him out! The referee starts to move closer, on standby, in case he has to call this one off by stoppage! BRAE’s arm is starting to go limp, it appears…
(THUMP!)
Jake Mercer: WAIT! BRAE JUST DROVE HIS FIST INTO THE SIDE OF KIRK REDWOOD’S HEAD WITH THE GOOD HAND! CLOSED FIST PUNCH, AND KIRK RELEASES THE HOLD! BRAE had to punch him in order to get out! And as Kirk is rolling away, clutching at his eye, BRAE isn’t proud of himself at all!
Referee: (off-mic) HEY! THAT WAS A CLOSED FIST! ONE WARNING, BRAE! NEXT TIME, YOU’LL LOSE A ROPE BREAK!
Stew-O: Well, BRAE has gotten a warning for punching Kirk in the head! Both of these men will do their best to adhere to the rules, but frustration gets all of us and that’s why it’s only a warning! However, Kirk is seriously hurt from that punch! It was all BRAE could’ve done to escape Solitary Confinement, and I’m sure he didn’t want to use a rope break either! As Kirk slowly makes his way up…
Flannery McCoy: BRAE is stalking him, and he presses him against the ropes! PUNCHES TO THE TORSO! We covered this earlier, you can punch everywhere except the head or groin! And BRAE is taking advantage of that part! Kirk desperately tries to cover up, but BRAE has already left a mark on the side of his body as he abuses Redwood with these punches! The referee shouts, reminding BRAE to get off the ropes—
Jake Mercer: No need, because Kirk sends a knee to the chest! It lands like a shotgun to BRAE, and he falls backwards! He tries to collect himself, but Redwood SMACKS him! You can certainly do that! BRAE is on wobbly legs, and Redwood SMACKS him AGAIN! BRAE is staggering now, on the verge of falling over! Redwood swings one last slap—but BRAE ducks it this time and throws one of his own! Redwood stumbles, but you’re gonna need more than that to put this crazy son of a bitch down!
Kirk Redwood: (off-mic) COME ON! YOU CAN HIT HARDER THAN THAT!
Stew-O: I can’t believe Kirk is egging him on for more! And BRAE happily obliges as he swings his hand forward and SMACKS THE HELL OUT OF REDWOOD!
(SMACK!)
Flannery McCoy: Beads of sweat go flying to the canvas, and Redwood just… smiles! BRAE nods his head, aware of what’s awaiting him now!
(SMACK!)
Jake Mercer: It’s BRAE’s hair whipping backwards as Kirk caught him with that slap! BRAE stumbles, I genuinely do not understand how either of these men haven’t fallen yet!
(SMACK!)
Stew-O: They don’t give a damn, as BRAE CRACKS Redwood again! Redwood is finding it in him, though! HE PACES AROUND THE RING, AND HE STARTS SLAPPING HIS OWN CHEST! Redwood builds off that momentum and spins into BRAE!
(SMACK!)
Jake Mercer: A SHOT OF HIS OWN! BRAE STUMBLES! BUT HE’S NOT GONNA LET REDWOOD TAKE HIM DOWN LIKE THAT! BRAE STARTS SMACKING HIMSELF IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!
(SMACK! SMACK!)
Flannery McCoy: TWO SLAPS TO THE JAW FROM BRAE! LEFT HAND AND RIGHT HAND! He got him with the one-two, and Redwood’s knees are beginning to buckle! All BRAE’s gotta do is get him a third time and—
(SMACK!)
Stew-O: HE COULDN’T GET HIM IN TIME! REDWOOD DUCKS AND COUNTERS WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! DOWN GOES BRAE! The back of his head bounces off the canvas, but down goes Redwood as well! He just fell to his fours, beat up and exhausted! But something tells me that there is still so much more to go in the reserves of both of these men! BRAE is feeling the effects right now, and so is Kirk…
Jake Mercer: Kirk slowly kneels up, rubbing the side of his face. All of those slaps, I know that his face has to be stinging right now. There’s no way that it isn’t! BRAE rolls to his side, grimacing. He reaches for the ropes, but it has to feel so far away right now… BRAE continues to reach for the ropes and right behind him, Kirk is crawling forward and stalking BRAE up to his feet. He truly has no clue of what’s awaiting him as he gets up!
Flannery McCoy: Redwood grabs him by the waist! He then takes the arm and traps it, trying to lift him up for the BASTARD PLEX! But BRAE breaks free! He’s still in the air though, and he wraps his arm around the head of Redwood. BRAE forces himself down to the canvas, but as he does so, he uses the momentum to drive Kirk’s head right into his knee! He meets Kirk between the eyes, and Redwood releases him, staggering back in shock and disbelief! BRAE caught him good, there! Redwood charges forward in an act of desperation…
Stew-O: BUT BRAE DAMN-NEAR LARIATS HIS HEAD OFF! Kirk gets turned inside out from the lariat by BRAE, and now BRAE finds himself back into this one! Kirk is laid out, and BRAE crawls to the ropes. He takes them and slowly pulls himself up to his feet! He falls into the turnbuckles, huffing and puffing. Kirk is lying in the center of the ring, holding his head in pain. BRAE leans against the ropes, and he starts pounding his chest! I think we ALL know what comes next now!
Jake Mercer: Redwood slowly rises out of the corner, and BRAE charges in for ‘MORRIG—’ NO! HE HAD IT SCOUTED! Redwood ducks out of the way! He wraps his arms around the waist of BRAE! He tries desperately to fight it off, but it’s no use! GERMAN SUPLEX! RIGHT ON THE BACK OF BRAE’S HEAD…!
Flannery McCoy: ONLY FOR BRAE TO ABSORB THE IMPACT AND RISE RIGHT BACK UP! KIRK HAS NO CLUE! HE NEEDS TO GET TO THE ROPES TO GET BACK UP… AND HE TURNS AROUND! ’MORRIGAN!’ BRAE’S FINISHING BICYCLE KICK PUTS HIM OUT! REDWOOD FALLS, AND BRAE COLLAPSES ON HIM FOR THE COVER!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—-
Stew-O: NO! REDWOOD GETS HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! HE’S SAVED BY THE ROPE BREAK! KIRK HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO USE ONE RIGHT THERE!
Jake Mercer: And so far these two men have done a phenomenal job at averting disaster by simply not grabbing the ropes for their break, but he had to on this occasion! Otherwise, that was it, and he was saved by muscle memory and instinct!
Stephie Love: KIRK REDWOOD HAS USED HIS FIRST ROPE BREAK!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk lies there, and I think he’s still shellshocked by the fact BRAE had the balls to utilize Morrigan so early in this match. BRAE slowly works his way up, and Kirk is still out of it. The referee tends to him, but he waves him off. BRAE limps towards Kirk and he slowly pulls him up off of the canvas… BRAE needs a moment to recover, but he won’t take it. He insists on remaining on the attack, and he nails Kirk with a forearm!
Stew-O: Redwood immediately drops to his knees. He’s hurting bad. His jaw has to be a weak point right now, and BRAE is smartly capitalizing on that. BRAE drags him back up to his feet, and he gets Kirk with ANOTHER forearm! Kirk can’t hold on, and he falls to his knees again! BRAE shakes his head. He’s huffing and puffing but he refuses to let Kirk get any reprieve right now! BRAE slowly pulls Redwood up to his feet for a third time…
Jake Mercer: BUT KIRK SWATS THE HANDS DOWN! He throws a BIG body shot, and BRAE holds at his side! Kirk with a forearm of his own! BRAE fires back! Kirk fires back! BUT BRAE THROWS HIS ENTIRE BODY INTO A FOREARM, AND KIRK GOES DOWN! Redwood doesn’t even know what just hit him! But BRAE does! AND HE BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES! HERE IT COMES! ’RED DEATH!’
Flannery McCoy: REDWOOD ELEVATES HIS LEGS IN THE AIR AND HE CATCHES BRAE AS HE’S COMING DOWN! BRAE GETS TRAPPED IN THE GRIP OF REDWOOD, AS HE GETS LOCKED UNDERNEATH HIS LEGS, AND REDWOOD GRABS THE ARM! HE ROLLS THEM TO THE SIDE!!!
Stew-O: AND KIRK HAS A PERUVIAN NECKTIE IN! BRAE IS GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT LIKE HELL TO GET OUT OF THAT! REDWOOD IS SQUEEZING THE HELL OUT OF BRAE’S NECK, AND HIS GRIP IS TIGHT AS HELL! BRAE ROARS OUT IN AGONY! He raises his hand around, trying to do everything in his power not to tap out! BRAE’s right leg is flailing! He’s trying to scoot backwards to the bottom rope, but he’s nowhere in sight!
Jake Mercer: BRAE won’t go down whatsoever, though! He’ll fight to the bitter end, and he starts to push his body forward! BRAE presses up—and he pins Kirk’s shoulders to the canvas! HE’S GOT A PINFALL! AND THE REFEREE SLIDES TO MAKE THE COUNT!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Stew-O: KICK OUT FROM REDWOOD! Both men slowly work their way up, and BRAE nails him with an elbow! Kirk falls into the ropes, and he responds with A LARI—NO! BRAE DUCKS UNDERNEATH AND HOOKS THE WAIST! GERMAN SUPLEX! BUT AS HE HOISTS REDWOOD IN THE AIR! HE SLAMS HIS FISTS DOWN ON THE HANDS OF BRAE, BREAKING THE GRIP! BRAE can’t hold on to Redwood and both men stagger down to their knees! But Kirk is first to get up! He grabs the hair of BRAE, and then he grabs both of his ears!
Flannery McCoy: Redwood has got a tight grip on the ears! BRAE is trying to break off, but he can’t! AND KIRK STARTS HEADBUTTING THE HELL OUT OF BRAE! ‘X’D OUT!’ THOSE HEADBUTTS ARE COMING AT A RAPID-FIRE RATE! KIRK IS DRIVING HIS FOREHEAD INTO BRAE’S! NO REMORSE! Kirk winds back—AND HE DROPS BRAE WITH ONE LAST HEADBUTT! Kirk falls backwards, and he crumbles to a seated position against the ropes! BRAE isn’t even moving anymore… and that’s in part to the fact he’s got blood dripping out of his head!
Jake Mercer: BRAE is down, and Kirk realizes this! He crawls over, quickly hooking the legs of BRAE! Could this be it?! Because it sure looks like it!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—-
Stew-O: NO! BRAE GETS HIS SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME! Kirk sits up, shaking his head! BRAE rolls over, trying to wipe that blood from his forehead! He feels it trickling down! This may be contested under PURE rules but nothing has stopped these two men from beating the tar out of each other and we’re seeing the effects of it right now. Kirk blinks a couple of times, as if he has to remember where he’s at. Kirk slowly rises to his feet, and BRAE isn’t moving whatsoever. He stumbles towards BRAE and slowly pulls him up to his feet…
Jake Mercer: Kirk takes him by the hair and he looks around. BRAE has very little to offer right now. He’s been pummeled by so much from Redwood, and I suppose you can say the same for Kirk, but only ONE of these two men are bleeding right now… Kirk lets out a mighty war cry, and then he winds his arm back! ‘LETHAL ROUND!’ THE LARIAT RIGHT TO THE—NO! BRAE RAISES HIS LEG JUST IN TIME AND HE BOOTS KIRK’S ARM DOWN! Kirk loses his grip on his hair as well, and BRAE swings behind him, hooking him by the waist! GERMAN SUPLEX! REDWOOD GETS PLANTED IN THE CANVAS, AND BRAE HANGS ON!
Flannery McCoy: Somehow, some way! BRAE rolls through with Kirk and he lifts him off of the canvas! A SECOND GERMAN SUPLEX! The back of Kirk’s head gets slammed against the mat! BRAE is somehow finding it in him to get back up a third time! Kirk is trying to break the grip, but he can’t! A THIRD GERMAN SUPLEX! BRAE rolls through, and he slowly begins to lift Kirk up… A FOURTH GERMAN SUPLEX! REDWOOD GETS PLANTED! BUT BRAE HASN’T LET GO OF HIM! HOW IS HE DIGGING THIS DEEP FOR A FIFTH ONE! Kirk can’t believe it either!
Stew-O: HE HEAVES REDWOOD UP…! A FIFTH GERMAN SUPLEX! BOTH MEN ARE LAID OUT ON THE CANVAS AGAIN, BUT BRAE ROLLS TO HIS SIDE! HE’S NOT DONE! HE’S GOING FOR SIX! AND IF HE GOES FOR SIX, I HAVE A FEELING THAT HE’S GOING FOR SEVEN! BRAE IS STARTING TO WEAR OUT! AND REDWOOD REALIZES THIS! DESPITE THE PAIN, HE’S BEGINNING TO SCOOT HIS BODY FORWARD! BRAE SLOWLY RISES UP WITH KIRK, SLOWLY, BUT SURELY, LIFTING…
Jake Mercer: REDWOOD LUNGES FORWARD! AND HE HUGS THE TOP ROPE! THAT’S A ROPE BREAK, AND BRAE HAS TO RELEASE THE WAISTLOCK! BRAE staggers backwards, breathing heavily! He’s exhausted, and the only reason that Redwood hasn’t fallen over is because he’s against the ropes right now! But Kirk is in a bad way… BRAE has three rope breaks remaining, Redwood only has one remaining!
Stephie Love: KIRK REDWOOD HAS USED HIS SECOND ROPE BREAK!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE is a man who has proven to have a lot of endurance, but you can see that even he is starting to suck wind right now… That’s how intense this match has gone, that’s how much these two have pushed one another, but clearly, BRAE is ready to push through as he slowly raises his head—
Stew-O: ’LETHAL ROUND!’ REDWOOD WAS PLAYING POSSUM! BRAE WAS RECOVERING AND HE HAD THE ADVANTAGE OF LAYING AGAINST THE ROPES! KIRK WITH THAT LARIAT! AND THAT WAS ALL HE HAD! AFTER THOSE GERMAN SUPLEXES, HE CAN’T EVEN MOVE! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN! AND THIS WOULD BE THE MOMENT FOR KIRK TO MAKE THE COVER! THAT COULD’VE BEEN THE KILLING BLOW!
Jake Mercer: BUT HE’S TOO TIRED—AND HE’S TOO HURT TO MAKE THE COVER! INSTEAD BOTH MEN ARE LAID OUT ON THE MAT! THE REFEREE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO BEGIN HIS TEN COUNT! IMAGINE IF THIS ONE ENDS IN A DOUBLE COUNTOUT!

Flannery McCoy: NO! BRAE FINDS IT IN HIM TO GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET USING THE ROPES, AND KIRK ISN’T FAR BEHIND! Despite Kirk getting the last shot in, BRAE is still less hurt than he is right now! BRAE sees Kirk and he grabs him by the head, sending a knee to the body! Kirk falls to his knees, and BRAE tucks his head into his thighs. BRAE then wraps his arms around the waist of Kirk, heaving him up for a powerbomb—!!!
Stew-O: He can’t get it! BRAE struggles, and Kirk is holding him down! He’s stalling that lift in every possible way! But BRAE is insistent that he hoist him up! Kirk won’t let it happen! Redwood feels that Interwire Championship in sight, and desperation is truly kicking in! BRAE releases the waist of Redwood, but he starts throwing clubbing blows to the back of Redwood! Now Redwood truly has nowhere to go! AND BRAE LIFTS—
Jake Mercer: BACK BODY DROP FROM REDWOOD! THE MOMENT BRAE RELEASED HIS WAIST, THAT GAVE HIM THE CHANCE TO SHIFT THE MATCH BACK INTO HIS FAVOR! BRAE looks up at the ceiling, wheezing out in pain. Kirk stumbles forward, and he turns around, seeing BRAE struggle to get up. BRAE slowly kneels up, and REDWOOD BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES BEHIND HIM! ‘BLITZKRIEG BOP!’ THE RUNNING KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD-
Stew-O: WHAT?! BRAE POPS TO HIS FEET AND HE NAILS REDWOOD WITH A LARIAT! BRAE NEARLY RAGDOLLS HIS ENTIRE BODY AS A RESULT! SOMEHOW HE SAW THAT KNEE COMING! BRAE looks around and he ROARS out! He falls into the turnbuckles, calling Kirk up! He beats his chest, nodding his head profusely! And BRAE’s eyes are practically GLOWING red at this point! Kirk rolls over, pushing his hands against the canvas. He presses up and slowly rises to his feet, and here comes BRAE, barreling out of the corner! HE’S GOT HIM WHERE HE WANTS HIM!
Flannery McCoy: ’MORRRIIGGAAANNNN!!!’
(THUMP!)
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD! HE DIDN’T GET THE CHANCE TO CONNECT! KIRK CAUGHT BRAE WITH A STRAIGHT RIGHT AS HE WAS IN THE AIR! AND BRAE GETS KNOCKED ONTO HIS ASS! REDWOOD RESORTED TO A CLOSED FIST PUNCH, AND BRAE JUST FELT EVERY BIT OF THAT AND MORE! BRAE holds at the side of his head and rolls over, he may have rocked him! But Kirk can’t immediately capitalize, because the referee has to issue him a warning!
Referee: (off-mic) WATCH THE CLOSED FIST, REDWOOD! THAT’S JUST A WARNING! NEXT TIME, IT’S YOUR LAST ROPE BREAK! AND IF YOU DON’T HAVE THAT LEFT, IT’LL BE A DISQUA—
(THUMP!)
Stew-O: BRAE GOT BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND HE JUST CRACKED REDWOOD WITH A CLOSED FIST OF HIS OWN! REDWOOD GOES DOWN TO THE CANVAS! THE ANGER OF BRAE GOT THE BEST OF HIM! HE LOST HIS COOL, AND KIRK IS OUT OF IT! THE REFEREE CAN’T BELIEVE IT!
Referee: (off-mic) WHAT THE HELL, BRAE?! THAT’S YOUR ROPE BREAK! CALL IT!
Stephie Love: As a result of a SECOND closed fist punch … BRAE HAS LOST HIS FIRST ROPE BREAK!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE CAN’T BELIEVE IT! HE’S PLAYED A CLEAN BOUT THIS ENTIRE TIME, BUT HE GOT A WARNING FOR THAT CLOSED FIST PUNCH EARLIER—AND HE’S LOST ONE NOW! BRAE shakes his head as he gets in the face of the referee! BRAE isn’t one to argue with the ref, but both men are in the heat of the moment! BRAE shakes his head and he turns around to retrieve Redwood…
Stew-O: BUT REDWOOD IS ON THE APRON!
Jake Mercer: ’PAROLE VIOLATION!’ THE SOMERSAULT OVER THE TOP ROPE, RIGHT INTO THE SPEAR!!! REDWOOD MAY HAVE BROKEN BRAE’S RIBS! BRAE GETS TURNED INSIDE OUT!!! AND KIRK SLOWLY CRAWLS OVER, NUDGING HIM OVER FOR THE PINFALL!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—-

Referee: —EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE……..
Flannery McCoy: BRAE GRABS THE MIDDLE ROPE! AND THE REFEREE CATCHES IT AT THE LAST SECOND! BRAE IS SAVED BY THE ROPE BREAK, BUT THAT’S TWO GONE IN SUCH SHORT TIME! HAS REDWOOD FIGURED IT OUT?!
Stephie Love: BRAE HAS USED HIS SECOND ROPE BREAK!
Jake Mercer: Both of these men are awfully urgent right now! Kirk shakes his head! He knows BRAE is hurting and he quickly scoops him up, ready to capitalize! Kirk wraps his arms around the waist of BRAE and he flips him upside down! Kirk slowly staggers towards the center of the ring! HERE IT COMES! ‘DOWN TO HELL!’ THE RUNNING LEAPING TOMBST—
Stew-O: NO! BRAE SLIPS OUT AT THE LAST SECOND, AND HE TRIPS REDWOOD ONTO HIS FACE! Redwood goes face-first into the canvas and BRAE scoots from underneath the grip of Redwood! He quickly rises with him and he ties up the legs! ‘BRIGID END!’ THE INVERTED TEXAS CLOVERLEAF IS IN! AND HE PUSHES DOWN ON THE LEGS OF REDWOOD! REDWOOD SCREAMS OUT IN AGONY! AND BRAE IS STARTING TO ELEVATE HIM OFF THE CANVAS!
Flannery McCoy: BUT REDWOOD WON’T MAKE IT EASY FOR HIM! REDWOOD STARTS CRAWLING! HE REACHES OUT FOR THE ROPES! THIS’LL BE HIS LAST ONE, THOUGH! BRAE CONTINUES TO PRESS DOWN ON THE LEGS! HE’S PRACTICALLY TRYING TO RIP THEM OFF! REDWOOD SHAKES HIS HEAD! HE KEEPS REACHING OUT, DOING WHATEVER HE CAN TO FREE HIMSELF FROM THIS! BRAE PUSHES DOWN ON THE LEGS….!!!
Jake Mercer: REDWOOD’S HAND IS UP! HE’S ABOUT TO TAP!!!
Stew-O: REDWOOD GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE! THAT’S IT! BRAE HAS TO RELEASE IT!
Stephie Love: KIRK REDWOOD HAS USED HIS THIRD AND FINAL ROPE BREAK!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk is laid out against the bottom rope, breathing heavily…. he’s got some reprieve… some time to recover—
Stew-O: ’RED DEATH!’ BRAE JUST ELBOWED REDWOOD’S NECK AND HIS HEAD JUST WHIPLASHED OFF THE BOTTOM ROPE! REDWOOD IS UNCONSCIOUS! BRAE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HIS LACK OF ROPE BREAKS! HE ROLLS HIM OVER FOR THE COVER!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—-
(…)
(…)
(…)
Referee: —EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE……..
(DING DING DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THIS MATCH, AND STILLLL THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION… BBBBBBRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(‘ULTRA INSTINCT THEME’ by Carameii hits the speakers and BRAE rolls off of Kirk, breathing heavily after a hellacious match for the Interwire Championship. The referee approaches him with his title in hand and he helps BRAE up, but BRAE denies the assistance. BRAE stumbles to the center of the ring of his own accord, raising the championship up to massive cheers from the crowd! Redwood is being tended to by a referee, a doctor, as well as Amanda after that brutal affair.)
Jake Mercer: I don’t know how he did it—I really don’t! But BRAE walks out of tonight with the Interwire Championship still in his possession, and that’s the first defense that you’re hoping for on a stage like Reckless Wiring.
Stew-O: Absolutely. The fans put the vote in and they got what they wanted and more. You have to commend both men for the effort.
Flannery McCoy: I sure will. I hope Redwood is alright though, but of course… I wonder what’s next for BRAE.

Jake Mercer: AND VOTED BY YOU, THE EAW UNIVERSE, THIS NUMBER ONE CONTENDER’S MATCH FOR THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP WILL BE A ‘FANS BRING THE WEAPONS’ MATCH!
(‘Judas’ by Lady Gaga begins to blare the speakers of the Seoul World Cup Stadium. The crowd rises to their feet for Holly Arrow who finds herself more than hyped up. She surveys the crowd around her before making her way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS HAS BEEN VOTED BY YOU AND A TRIPLE THREAT ‘FANS BRING THE WEAPONS’ NUMBER ONE CONTENDER’S MATCH FOR THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP! NOW, THE WEAPONS PROVIDED BY OUR EAW UNIVERSE ARE ALLOWED TO USED IN THIS MATCH! THIS MATCH IS NO DISQUALIFICATION! NO COUNTOUTS! THE FIRST WOMAN TO GAIN A PINFALL OR SUBMISSION WILL WALK AWAY WITH A FUTURE OPPORTUNITY AT THE EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND…SHE IS ‘THE LODESTAR’…HOLLY ARROW!!!!!
Stew-O: Now. Holly Arrow has never won a single’s championship in EAW. Winning this match could get her to change all of that. She is a former Unified Tag Team Champion, but when it comes to single’s gold, that’s her goal to get this season.
Flannery McCoy: Holly Arrow has stated that last sFeason was one of the worst seasons of her entire career. In the instance of Grand Rampage last season, she came close to capturing the Interwire Championship. She’s put on excellent performances when competing for the Universal Women’s Championship, but what’s going to take for her to finally overcome that final hurdle?
Jake Mercer: Holly Arrow, when in the right mindset, has what it takes. But, I can see why she’d be discouraged after falling short in high stakes matches. She’s against a former Specialists Champion and rising star in this match, so if there is a time to lock in, it’s here.
(‘Genie in A Bottle’ by Christina Aguilera begins to play through the speakers as the crowd boos. Grace De Luca comes out from the back as she poses on top of the crowd.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENTS…FIRST…FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA…SHE IS ‘THE PARADIGM OF PERFECTION…’ GRACE DE LUCA!!!!!!
Stew-O: Was it intentional? Was it not? Nikki Kimura was someone who was supposed to take part of this match up, but she would find herself injured during a tag team match on Dynasty where Grace De Luca would team with Holly Arrow to face KASAI and Nikki Kimura. At ringside, Grace would wipe Nikki into the barricade and in the process, Nikki would injure her arm. Grace would use that as an opening to win the match for her team.
Flannery McCoy: Someone like KASAI doesn’t believe that Grace De Luca’s concern for what happened to Nikki Kimura was genuine. And honestly, I’m on the same boat as her. I think that someone like Grace is happy to get some competition out of the way. If it provides her with an easier road to the top, she’s going to do whatever it takes to do that.
Jake Mercer: Regardless, Grace De Luca is an excellent competition. The future of the Dynasty brand! She is someone I could see having a ‘Daniella Atlas’ kind of breakout season, if you know what I mean. She is a star. Winning this match could totally back that up.
(‘The End’ by Lil Uzi Vert featuring BABYMETAL begins to play as the crowd stands up for KASAI. KASAI comes out with ‘The Queenslayer’ – a kendostick that has barbed wire wrapped around it. She totally feeds off chaotic energy, which the crowd totally loves.)
Stephie Love: AND, LAST…FROM AMANI, KAGOSHIMA, JAPAN…SHE IS ‘THE IMMORTAL SLAYER’…KASAI!!!!!!!
Stew-O: KASAI is the only woman in this match to have won the Specialists Championship. She is also someone who has been in the Universal Women’s Championship here and there last season, but she wants to do more. She wants to set out and do a lot more. Getting her second championship in EAW is something that she wants to get done.
Flannery McCoy: KASAI is a wildcard for sure. She is fiery and chaotic, but the crowd in Seoul LOVES her, Stew!
Jake Mercer: She can be quite unpredictable at times, but when you add the situation where fans are allowed to bring weapons into this match, there’s no knowing what we’re going to see and what she’ll pick from the sea of EAW fans! These three women have a good case on why they should get a future opportunity at the Specialists Championship, but it’s what happens inside the ring that truly matters.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: KASAI LAUNCHES AT GRACE DE LUCA WITH THE QUEENSLAYER!!!!!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: GRACE DE LUCA MANAGES TO SLIDE OUT OF THE RING AS FAST AS SHE POSSIBLY COULD! THE CROWD DID NOT LIKE THAT WHATSOEVER! BUT, KASAI TURNS HER ATTENTION TO HOLLY ARROW! SHE SWINGS THE QUEENSLAYER AT HOLLY! BUT, HOLLY MANAGES TO DUCK THE KENDO STICK! KASAI LOOKS TO SWING AGAIN! ONCE AGAIN, HOLLY DUCKS AGAIN! SHE NAILS KASAI IN THE GUT! Then, she connects with a series of punches to the face! KASAI drops the Queenslayer as Holly begins to connect with some punches to the face! KASAI stumbles to the corner as Holly grabs KASAI by the arm and whips her to the ropes! KASAI rebounds off the ropes as she slides underneath the legs of the former Unified Tag Team Champion!
Flannery McCoy: KASAI pops up behind as she wraps her arms around the waist of Holly Arrow! KASAI wants to lift up Holly for a German suplex! BUT, HOLLY KEEPS HER FEET PLANTED ON THE GROUND! INSTEAD, IT’S HOLLY WHO MANAGES TO GRAB A HOLD OF ONE OF KASAI’S WRISTS BEFORE TURNING HERSELF AROUND AND –RIPCORD LARIAT ON KASAI! BUT, KASAI DUCKS AND LIFTS HOLLY UP FOR A BACKBREAKER TO HER KNEE!
Jake Mercer: FROM BEHIND – GRACE DE LUCA SMASHES SOME GLASS TO THE BACK OF KASAI!
Stew-O: KASAI crumbles to her knees! I think that’s Cass beer, ladies and gentlemen! It’s one of the best selling beers in South Korea!
(The camera pans to KASAI’s spine, where you can see fragments of the glass from the beer bottle on her spine. Some of the fragments are stuck to some blood, which has begun to gush out a bit due to the impact of that impact of the beer bottle.)
Flannery McCoy: Already, we are seeing the first signs of blood! KASAI is trying to pick herself up to her feet as Grace De Luca manages to “help” KASAI up to her feet before throwing her back to one of the corners! We see Holly Arrow trying to get Grace behind! But, Grace manages to catch Holly by her arm and whips her to the same corner that KASAI is at! Grace begins to back away! Grace charges at the two other women with a handspring into a body splash –
Jake Mercer: BUT, HOLLY ARROW MANAGES TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! GRACE DE LUCA COLLIDES WITH KASAI! SO, IT’S PARTIALLY SUCCESSFUL IN A WAY! HOLLY MANAGES TO GET BEHIND GRACE AND CONNECT WITH FOREARM TO THE BACK OF GRACE’S SKULL! Then, Holly pulls her in, getting her on an inverted bridge before lifting her up and placing her onto one of her shoulders! Not going to lie, but that was kind of cool! It almost seemed like Holly was going to connect with an inverted DDT. But, she kind of uses that as some sort of launching bad to spring her onto one of her shoulders!
Stew-O: Holly Arrow uses Grace De Luca as a lawn dart as she throws her onto KASAI, who is still recovering at the corner! That was crafty there! Now, Holly is going to show it how it’s done as she charges towards Grace and KASAI and connects with a body splash at the corner! Grace stumbles forwards as Holly lowers herself, so that she can place Grace on her shoulders!
Flannery McCoy: NOT ONLY THAT, STEW! BUT, KASAI FALLS ON TOP OF GRACE DE LUCA! THAT DOESN’T SEEM TO STOP HOLLY ARROW AS SHE’S MANAGING TO CARRY BOTH WOMEN IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION – SHE CONNECTS WITH A SAMOAN DROP, SLAMMING BOTH WOMEN TO THE CANVAS IN THE PROCESS! THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE THERE! HOLLY KIP UPS HERSELF BACK UP, SHOWING OFF A BIT! She gets Grace and throws her back into that same corner! Holly runs towards her, connecting with a running hip attack as the back of Grace’s head collides with the turnbuckle padding! Holly pulls Grace by her foot and away from the ropes! Holly goes for a cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWWW–
Jake Mercer: Grace De Luca with a kick out! Holly Arrow rises to her feet as she gets Grace in a seated position! She begins to throw some shoot kicks to the back of Grace, who is trying to get herself to her feet! You can see the look of pain on her face! One nasty kick from Holly causes Grace to fall back to her knees! Then, we see Holly pick up Grace and connect with a single knee backbreaker as that takes her back down!
Stew-O: WHAT IN THE HELL?? KASAI JUST SLAMMED HOLLY ARROW WITH A FRYING PAN! HOLLY COLLAPSES TO THE GROUND AS KASAI BEGINS TO SLAM THE FRYING PAN INTO THE SPINE AND STOMACH WITH THAT FRYING PIN! :damn: :damn: :damn:
Jake Mercer: Honestly, that’s not going to be the craziest weapon that we see in this match! I’m curious to see what else we’re going to be seeing! I know with us being South Korea, things are a bit stricter than in the United States, but this has allowed for the South Korean EAW fans to think outside the box on what they brought into this match!
Stew-O: Grace De Luca forces herself to her feet, BUT KASAI GOES RIGHT AFTER HER AND NAILS THE FRYING PAN INTO HER STOMACH AS THAT CAUSES GRACE TO COLLAPSE TO THE FLOOR AGAIN! STILL, WE SEE THAT GRACE IS FORCING HERSELF UP TO HER FEET! THIS CAUSES KASAI TO RAM THE FRYING PAN INTO THE GUT OF GRACE BEFORE PICKING HER UP AND CONNECTING WITH AN IMPALER DDT AS GRACE’S HEAD IS SMASHED TO THAT FRYING PAN KASAI GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Grace De Luca with another kick out! Yikes, that did not look good at all!
(The camera reveals that Grace De Luca’s forehead has begun to crack wide open due to being collided with the frying pan. At this moment, Grace is out, which could play into the favor of KASAI.)
Jake Mercer: Both of these women are showing how much they want that opportunity at the Specialists Championship! KASAI is looking to wrap up this match as quickly as possible as she picks up Grace De Luca in a powerbomb position! I think that she may be looking for that spinning crucifix powerbomb that she likes to call the ‘Starbomb,’ ladies and gentlemen!
Stew-O: HOLLY ARROW HAS A CHOPPING BOARD! AND, SHE SMACKS IT TO THE SPINE OF THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! SHE SEES THAT GRACE DE LUCA IS FINDING HER WAY BACK TO HER FEET AS HOLLY RUNS TO HOLLY AND SMACKS THE CHOPPING BOARD TO HER SKULL AS THAT TAKES HER BACK! To me, it seems like Grace might be the weaker out of the two women! And, I think that Holly is aware of that! She needs to do what she can to get KASAI out of the equation!
Flannery McCoy: HOLLY ARROW SLAMS THE WOODEN CHOPPING BOARD TO KASAI’S SPINE AGAIN! AND, AGAIN! AND, AGAIN! AND, AGAIN! HOLLY IS ALMOST LOOKING LIKE A POSSESSED WOMAN AS SHE SLAMS THE CHOPPING BOARD ONE FINAL TIME AS IT COMPLETELY BREAKS IN HALF! IT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN GOOD QUALITY FOR THIS MATCH UP!
Jake Mercer: Holly Arrow gets on top of KASAI before connecting with a series of left and right punches to the face of KASAI! Holly gets KASAI in a front headlock, getting her into position before – vertical suplex! NO! KASAI MANAGES TO LAND ON HER FEET! HOLLY DOESN’T REALIZE THAT AS KASAI TURNS AROUND THE FORMER UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION AND CONNECTS WITH A HUGE SLAP ACROSS THE FACE OF HOLLY! THEN, ANOTHER SLAP ACROSS THE OPPOSITE CHEEK! AND THEN, ANOTHER ONE! KASAI IS GOING FRANTIC WITH THESE SLAPS BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST AS THAT TAKES HOLLY BACK! KASAI FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A LOWER SUPERKICK AS THAT TAKES HOLLY TO HER BACK!
Stew-O: KASAI turns her attention to Grace De Luca, who uses the ropes to help herself back to her feet! KASAI connects with a rapid boxing combination of punches to the gut and face of ‘The Paradigm of Perfection!’ Grace is trying to cover her face and stomach, but KASAI is doing a great job with changing up the combination and assuring Grace that she won’t know what will hit her! Grace stumbles closer to KASAI as KASAI connects with a series of kawada knee strikes to the gut! It starts off slowly, but KASAI’s knees begin to bash into the gut of Grace! One final knee manages to knock Grace down to a knee! Grace is in a crawling position as she tries to crawl out of this equation!
Flannery McCoy: KASAI follows that up with a switchblade kick as that takes Grace De Luca down! Then, KASAI connects with a double foot stomp to the spine of Grace as that plops her flat on the canvas! KASAI rolls over Grace to her shoulders and goes for another pin fall attempt!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Grace De Luca with a kick out! KASAI RISES TO HER FEET AS SHE GETS GRACE IN THAT POWERBOMB POSITION AGAIN BEFORE – ‘STARBOMB!’ FINALLY, KASAI CONNECTS WITH ‘STARBOMB’ ONCE MORE AS SHE GOES FOR ANOTHER PIN FALL ATTEMPT!
Stew-O: NOT IF HOLLY ARROW CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, JAKE! SHE MANAGES TO TAKE KASAI BACK WITH A SLIDING FOREARM TO THE FACE! SHE GRABS KASAI BY THE BACK OF HER HEAD AS SHE LIFTS UP KASAI IN A WHEELBARROW POSITION AND CONNECTS WITH A WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER AS SHE LANDS RIGHT ON TOP OF GRACE DE LUCA IN THE PROCESS! Then, she grabs KASAI by her hair and throws her through the middle rope! But, KASAI lands on the apron! She goes for a shoulder thrust through that middle rope and into the gut of Holly!
Flannery McCoy: We see that KASAI is heading for the top turnbuckle! We’re going to be seeing ‘The Immortal Slayer’ go high risk here! But, Holly Arrow is looking to put a stop to that as she looks to meet KASAI up on that top turnbuckle! Now, this looks like it’s obviously going to be troubling! KASAI throws a punch in hopes to knock off Holly! But, Holly connects with a punch hoping to stop KASAI in her tracks! KASAI with a punch to Holly! Holly with a punch to KASAI! KASAI with a punch to Holly! Holly with a punch to KASAI! KASAI! HOLLY! KASAI! HOLLY! KASAI! HOLLY! HOLLY! HOLLY! HOLLY MANAGES TO PULL KASAI IN A FRONT HEADLOCK! SHE MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR A SUPERPLEX HERE!
Jake Mercer: BUT, KASAI IS ATTEMPTING TO PUNCH HER WAY OUT OF THE PREDICAMENT! SHE IS NAILING PUNCHES INTO THE GUT OF ‘THE LODESTAR!’ BUT, HOLLY ARROW IS HOLDING ON! SHE REFUSES TO LOSE GRASP OF KASAI!!!!
Stew-O: BUT, LOOK! FROM UNDERNEATH! IT’S GRACE DE LUCA! SHE IS LIFTING UP HOLLY ARROW, WHO HAS A HOLD OF KASAI! THIS IS 121 POUND YOUNG WOMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THIS IS MORE THAN DOUBLE HER WEIGHT HERE! TOWER. OF. DOOM. GRACE WITH THE POWERBOMB TO HOLLY WHO CONNECTS WITH A SUPERPLEX ON KASAI! THAT IS ALWAYS BRUTAL TO LOOK AT! ALL THREE OF THESE WOMEN ARE ON THE GROUND! THE EAW FATEFUL IN THE SOUEL WORLD CUP STADIUM IS UP ON THEIR FEET AND APPLAUDING THESE WOMEN!
(REPLAY: A slow motion of the tower of doom – the powerbomb/superplex combination consisting of the three women is replayed for the fans.)
(PRESENT DAY: Holly Arrow, KASAI and Grace De Luca are down from the giant spot. The camera highlights Grace getting to a crawling position as she looks for the cover on Holly.)
OOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: HOLLY ARROW WITH A KICK OUT! QUICKLY, GRACE DE LUCA GOES OVER TO KASAI AND GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Jake Mercer: KASAI with a kick out! Grace De Luca is looking a bit frustrated! She is looking at the referee and demanding that she count faster! She gets KASAI and throws her through the middle rope as she falls out of the ring! She rolls out of the ring as the EAW Universe in the front row are holding the weapons that they brought with them! Apparently, these are the safest weapons that could be approved? Guns and any swords were not approved for obvious reasons!
Stew-O: Did someone actually try to bring a gun into the stadium? :lupe:
Jake Mercer: That’s the rumor that’s been going around Reddit, but we need to take that rumor with a grain of salt.
Flannery McCoy: Grace De Luca finds a weapon that she likes –
Jake Mercer: A wand?
Flannery McCoy: That’s not just a wand, Jake.
Stew-O: It’s a curling wand! A pink curling wand that you can turn on and wait for it to heat up to the desired temperature before you use it to curl your hair. I have daughters, Jake. I should know this stuff!
Jake Mercer: I– I wasn’t going to ask how you knew that.
Flannery McCoy: :mjpls:
Jake Mercer: But, Grace De Luca must have found the on switch and look at that, she tells that same EAW fan to hold the curling wand for her! She sees that KASAI is slowly getting to her feet as Grace runs at KASAI and connects with a bicycle kick that takes her back down! She grabs that pink curling wand from the EAW fan, telling her “thank you” before going back to KASAI! And, I’m just wondering what she plans to do with that?
(Grace De Luca gets KASAI up as she places the pink curling wand to the throat of the former Specialists Champion. Instantly, you can hear that KASAI begins to shriek in pain. The curling wand burns a lot.)
KASAI: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Stew-O: It may be such a little thing, but it can heat up to 450°F. I can’t recall anyone ever turning it up to that point, but KASAI is experiencing it first hand and she does not like that at all!
Flannery McCoy: If this was inside the ring, KASAI would have the option to submit there! Since she’s at ringside, she can tap all she wants, but it’s going to do nothing at all! That is going to leave a burn mark for sure! Maybe a blister beforehand! :lupe:
Jake Mercer: From the apron, Holly Arrow manages to jump from the apron and connect with a meteora as she sends Grace De Luca to the ground! Happily, she doesn’t collide with the curling wand or that wouldn’t have been good for Holly! But, Holly realizes that Grace dropped the curling wand! Grace sees the wand as she races for it –
(Holly Arrow places her foot on the hand of Grace De Luca. Grace looks up at Holly and realizes that she may have fucked up there. She tries to remove her hand, but Holly is stepping on it. Holly reaches down and gets her hand on the curling wand as she looks at it for a moment.)
Stew-O: I think that there’s a part of Holly Arrow that’s amused that a curling wand was brought into this match. Just –
Flannery McCoy: She’s curling her hair now?
(Holly Arrow looks towards the EAW fan, who reveals that they had brought a giant mirror with them. She swings the mirror over the barricade and in front of Holly, who seems more than thankful for that. Holly is looking at her reflection in the mirror as she decides to give her hair a little curl.)
Jake Mercer: I don’t think it’s for long as KASAI rushes behind her, looking to attack her from behind, BUT HOLLY ARROW MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A BACK KICK TO THE GUT! THEN, SHE TURNS HERSELF AROUND AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A HIGH KNEE AS THAT KNOCKS KASAI TO A KNEE! GRACE DE LUCA TRIED TO USE THAT OPENING BY SLIDING HER HAND OUT OF THE FOOT OF HOLLY! SHE LOOKS TO ATTACK HOLLY FROM BEHIND, BUT HOLLY SWINGS THE CURLING WAND TO THE GUT OF GRACE! GRACE SHRIEKS AND CLUTCHES TO HER STOMACH! WITH THE CURLING WAND, HOLLY SWINGS IT TO THE CHEST OF GRACE AS THAT TAKES HER TO A CRAWLING POSITION! THEN, SHE SEES THAT KASAI IS RISING BACK TO HER FEET AS HOLLY RUNS TOWARDS KASAI AND KNOCKS HER BACK WITH THE CURLING WAND!
Stew-O: As she was doing all of that, Holly Arrow was being careful with not touching the top of the curling wand!
Flannery McCoy: HOLLY ARROW GETS TURNED AROUND AS GRACE DE LUCA LOOKS TO USE THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE TO HER ADVANTAGE AS SHE SPRAYS SOME HAIRSPRAY TO THE EYES OF HOLLY! THEN, GRACE MANAGES TO GET HOLLY INTO POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A ‘PERFECTION PLEX’ – THE TWISTING BRAINBUSTER TAKES DOWN HOLLY! Grace reaches down and gets her hand on the curling wand that Holly was having a bit more fun with! Now, we see that Grace is looking to do the one thing that Holly did and that’s curl her hair with the curling wand!
Jake Mercer: If she talks about herself like she’s a star, she needs to look like one at all times, Flann! It’s simple!
Stew-O: WHAT IN THE HELL??? KASAI SPEARS GRACE DE LUCA TO THAT SAME MIRROR FROM BEHIND!!! CAN WE GET A REPLAY OF THAT?!?!! :damn: :damn: :damn:
(REPLAY: A slow motion of KASAI spearing Grace De Luca through the giant mirror.)
(PRESENT DAY: The scene shows KASAI and Grace De Luca laying above a broken mirror. Pieces of glass flew everywhere. The blood continues to pour down their heads as they try to catch their breaths. Meanwhile, we have Holly Arrow who is looking in shock across from them. The referees tend to KASAI and Grace, trying to see if they can continue on.)
(Holly Arrow, all dizzy from that brainbuster, realizes the opportunity that may have arisen from her! She uses the skirt of the ring apron to help herself up. She tries to recapture some of her balance before walking over towards KASAI and Grace De Luca.)
Flannery McCoy: Holly Arrow is shooing the referees away as she manages to get her hands on KASAI and rolls her back inside the ring! Holly slides back into the ring! She gets back up as she grabs KASAI up above her head! Holly is getting KASAI into position for the wrist clutch olympic slam! She calls that ‘Odin’s Lost Eye’ as it connects! Holly goes for the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHH–
Jake Mercer: KASAI with a kick out! Holly Arrow begins to batter her elbows to the face of KASAI! She picks up KASAI and it seems like she’s going for the ‘Psionic Crossbow!’ Holly tried to connect with this move on last week’s edition of Dynasty, but it was Grace De Luca who would prevent that from happening! Now, it seems like Holly will be able to apply the move with no issue at all!
Stew-O: THE MOVE CONNECTS AS HOLLY ARROW HAS THE COVER ON KASAI! IS SHE GOING TO WALK AWAY WITH A FUTURE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP!??!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTHHHHHH–
Flannery McCoy: GRACE DE LUCA BREAKS UP THE PIN MY SLAMMING A…GLASS STICK??
Jake Mercer: That is a GLASS K-POP LIGHTSTICK, FLANNERY! It’s a symbol in k-pop culture. It’s a way to make you feel like you’re a part of a concert. Almost like you’re sending your light and spirit to your favorite k-pop artists and groups. I think that Grace has the BLACKPINK lightstick. It has a very unique design. It’s almost like a hammer. Each side has a light pink heart. It’s quite effective, honestly. Stew, why are you looking at me like that?
Stew-O: Who said I was looking at you? :mjgrin:
Flannery McCoy: This knowledge from Jake doesn’t shock me, honestly.
Jake Mercer: Hey, I like doing research whenever we go to different countries. But yeah, Grace De Luca has the lightstick in her hand as Holly Arrow has the pieces of glass scattered all around! This lightstick was uniquely made for this match, apparently! Something that I heard on Reddit in advance!
Stew-O: Not wasting any time, Grace De Luca grabs Holly Arrow and throws her shoulder first into the ring post at the corner! Then, Grace gets KASAI before connecting with a swinging neckbreaker – ‘Twisting Makeover’ connects as Grace goes for the cover!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTT–
Flannery McCoy: KASAI WITH A KICK OUT! Grace De Luca is feeling hyped up! She could sense that she could have the match secured as begins to back away to one of the corners! She is gesturing for KASAI to get back on her feet! Now, KASAI is slowly, but surely getting to her feet! She is not aware of what she has in store for her as Grace runs out of the corner with a ‘Bittersweet Chin Music’ – her variation of the superkick!
Jake Mercer: BUT, KASAI MANAGES TO DUCK THE SUPERKICK! SHE PUSHES GRACE DE LUCA BACK A BIT BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SPINNING BACKFIST! THEN, SHE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A SPINNING BACK KICK AS THAT TAKES HER DOWN! GRACE TRIES TO GET HERSELF BACK UP, BUT KASAI CONNECTS WITH A LOW SUPERKICK AS THAT KNOCKS HER TO HER BACK! KASAI GIVES A LOUD BATTLE CRY BEFORE LOOKING AT THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! SHE WAS NOTHING MORE THAN TO END THIS MATCH RIGHT NOW! SHE IS HEADING FOR THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Stew-O: KASAI CLIMBS UP THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! SHE HAS HER BACK TURNED TO GRACE DE LUCA, WHO SEEMS OUT OF IT AT THE MOMENT! WE’VE SEEN KASAI GO WITH THIS FINISHER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS! SHE’S PUT AWAY ELITISTS WITH THIS FINISHER TIME AFTER TIME AGAIN! ‘KITSUNE’S BLESSING V2’ – THE MOONSAULT STOMP FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Flannery McCoy: She lands right on the gut of Grace De Luca as KASAI goes for the cover! Is KASAI going to get herself a shot at the Specialists Championship?!?!
OOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE–
Jake Mercer: WHAT IN THE HELL!?!? HOLLY ARROW JUST THREW SOME ORANGE LOOKING POWDER TO EYES OF KASAI!!!! :damn: :damn: :damn:
Stew-O: It’s more like a burning orange kind of powder. Whatever it was, KASAI proceeds to yell in pain as she rolls off Grace De Luca! She is trying to get it out of her eyes! I’m not sure what it was, but it was effective!
Flannery McCoy: That was kimchi seasoning, Stew and Jake! Holly Arrow just threw kimchi seasoning to KASAI. Now, kimchi has a spicy, sour and slightly tangy taste to it. It’s made from a fine chili powder that’s quite expensive in Korea. I bet that Holly is thankful that it came into a clutch here! Holly gets KASAI and lifts her up! She connects with the northern lights bomb – ‘Fate of Both Worlds’ connects!
Jake Mercer: FROM BEHIND, GRACE DE LUCA APPLIES A SLEEPERHOLD ON HOLLY ARROW, BUT HOLLY MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A SNAPMARE AS THAT TAKES HER IN FRONT OF THE FORMER UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPION! BUT, HOLLY PICKS UP GRACE FOR AN ‘ODIN’S LOST EYE!’ THE MOVE CONNECTS AS HOLLY REALIZES THAT IT MAY BE NOW OR NEVER TO END THIS MATCH! SHE CAN’T WASTE ANY TIME NOW! SHE PICKS UP GRACE AGAIN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A ‘PSIONIC CROSSBOW!’ THE SAME MOVE THAT GRACE PREVENTED HOLLY FROM CONNECTING ON KASAI ON DYNASTY LAST WEEK!
Stew-O: IT CONNECTS AND ON GRACE DE LUCA! HOLLY ARROW GOES FOR THE COVER! IS THIS GOING TO BE IT HERE?!?!?
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(KASAI begins to slowly regain consciousness at ringside. She realizes what is going on and that’s Holly Arrow getting the cover on Grace De Luca.)
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
(KASAI slides back into the ring in order to break up the pin.)
TTTTHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(It’s too late. KASAI was a second too late as she was inches from breaking up the pin. ‘Judas’ blares the speakers as the crowd gives a standing ovation for Holly Arrow who rolls off Grace De Luca. Holly is more than satisfied with the result as the referee helps her to her feet.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…HOLLY ARROW!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: That was a unique ‘Fans Bring the Weapons’ match! We saw a bunch of weapons that really resonated home in South Korea and what makes them such a beautiful country to be a part of!
Jake Mercer: Not going to lie, but I want some kimchi right now. We need to get Korean barbecue after the show. As for the match itself, I thought the fans did a great job with being out of the box with some of their weapons. For the three women inside the ring, each of these women put on an amazing case on why they should have an opportunity for the Specialists Championship, but for someone like KASAI, she was a second too late with breaking up the pin fall!
(KASAI can’t seem to believe that she didn’t break up the pin on time. She is feeling a bit frustrated with herself. We see a medic that’s tending to KASAI’s wounds at ringside. Meanwhile, the referee is helping Grace De Luca out of the ring, where another medic is there to help her out. Inside the ring, Holly Arrow is celebrating her huge win tonight.)
Stew-O: All three women did an amazing job. They took some nasty bumps. At some point, it became unclear on who would walk out with this win, but that honor belongs to Holly Arrow, who will get herself a future shot at the Specialists Championship! Congratulations, Holly!

(The camera cuts to Stephie Love, who is inside the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is a Last Team Standing match, and it is for the EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!
Crowd: :blessed:
(…)
(A mash-up of ‘Pride and Arrogance’ by by Takeru Kanazaki and ‘The Leaving Song Pt.II’ by AFI hits. A Rolls Royce then pulls up, unmistakable in who it belongs to. Drake Armstrong is the first to leave the pricey vehicle, all smiles, smugness radiating from him. Soon, Hans Grayson emerges, confused as can be about what the hell he is hearing.)
Hans Grayson: (off-mic) You did not…
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) I did! Do you like it! I made sure to give top billing to a rather talented music editor I stumbled upon.
Hans Grayson: (off-mic) Yeah? Where?
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) YouTube.
Hans Grayson: (off-mic) … Okay. That tracks.
(Drake grins, not at all sensing that Hans isn’t really fond of their entrance music. Still, a huge match awaits, and both men head down the ramp together and enter the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challengers! From Voltage, they are the 2025 Cash in the Vault winner, HAAAAAAANS GRAAAAAYSOOOOON, AND THE 2025 King of Elite — DRAAAAAAAAAKE ARRRRRRRRMSTRRRRROOOOOOOONNNNNG!
Stew-O: Unified for now, but there still seems to be some measure of uncertainty on Hans’ end. Either way, he is here willingly tonight, ready to compete in this Last Team Standing match to achieve some tag team gold, alongside Drake Armstrong. The two have been fraught with tension, in no small part thanks to Drake himself, and after volunteering himself and Hans to be the challengers stepping up to Fire & Ice, we are here.
Jake Mercer: Stranger teams have formed and succeeded, including the current reigning tag champions. They said they wanted competition, and they got it.
Flannery McCoy: They do. Now it’s time to see if they can work well tonight, and who knows? Stun the world in the process.
(‘I2I’ by Magnolia Park hits To cheers from the fans as the left half of the stage is filled with orange and red smoke while the right side is filled in blue and white smoke. Rex McAllister and Raven Roberts walk out side by side, and Rex takes Raven by the hand and spins her into himself, catching her in a dip. The pair smile at one another before slowly turn to look out at the cheering crowd.)
Stephie Love: Aaaaand the champions! They are the EAW Unified Tag Team Champions…. REX MCALLISTER AND RAVEN ROBERTS: FIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRREEEE AAAAAANNNNNNND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCEEEE!!!
(Rex pulls Raven back to her feet and they begin walking down the ramp, high-fiving several fans as they go.)
Stew-O: And here come the champions, Fire & Ice! Rex and Raven made sure to set Hans and Drake set amidst their quarreling, and that seemed to do the trick. However, they aren’t here to make nice nor help the competition: they wanted a fight for this show, having to wait weeks before someone even stepped up to them. Now, after winning the tag titles at Pain for Pride, they get to have their first title defense.
Jake Mercer: A lot of people are rooting for them heavy; it’s hard not to when they had the most arduous season 18 and ended up coming out of it on top of the world. They definitely want to keep the ball rolling for themselves and continue to show they are absolutely worthy of the spots they occupy.
Flannery McCoy: They look ready as ever! Rex and Raven want to solidify themselves as the best team in all of EAW, and with this unique challenge in both challengers and stipulation, this can really help remind the world of when they first ruled the tag division. The heartache is over with. Now, they’re the best.
(When they get to the ring, Rex slides in as Raven walks up the steps. He sits on the second rope as Raven climbs through, and Raven pauses to give him a kiss halfway through the ropes. Rex then crosses the ring to the far hard can turnbuckle where he climbs to the top and puts a fist in the air. Raven walks to the middle of the hard can of the ring where she steps on the second rope with one foot and crossed her other leg over the top rope, posing with her arms out. The pair take in the moment before taking their corner.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The bell rings, and that means the start of this Last Team Standing match is underway! I don’t even know if we had one before, but for those unfamiliar with the concept, it is the exact same as a Last Man Standing match. The only difference is that both competitors in a team must be unable to get up to the count of ten in order to lose, thus granting the opposing team the victory.
Jake Mercer: Yeah, it sounds simple enough, but some carefully-woven strategy is gonna have to be implemented in order to make sure both Elitists of the same team are incapacitated!
Flannery McCoy: Definitely unique, in that sense — just like how this paring of Hans Grayson and Drake Armstrong is, and Armstrong himself is voluntarily starting things off for his team. Meanwhile, Rex McAllister is the legal man, and with this being Fire & Ice’s first defense of the Unifed Tag Team Championships in five years, he seems more than eager to make sure that he and Raven can walk away with the titles still!
Stew-O: Certainly. Just a day after the exact date, August 8, 2020, Raven and Rex lost to the Grand Athletes, consisting of Mark Macias and, of course, Li—
Jake Mercer: MYYYYY LIMMY WIMMY!! 😍 OH, WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY THAT WAS! I SHED A TEAR EVERYTIME I THINK ABOUT IT! NO ONE COUNTED ON HIM, EVERYONE WANTED TO COUNT HIM OUT, BUT HE DID IT, AND WON ON THE CUSP OF REX BECOMING GRAND SLAM FROM THAT REIGN, TOO!
Flannery McCoy: Sigh. Limmy being back on Dynasty truly is a blessing and a curse for us again…
Stew-O: Either way, speaking of Rex, he and Drake are locked in a rather fierce lock up right now! Drake is looking like he wants to slip away, but an arm drag snaps him down! Rex with the headlock, and he grounds him, cinching in tight so he can maintain control.
Jake Mercer: Interesting strategy. Of course, anything goes in Last Man, or Last Team, Standing, but Rex is sticking to the basics. Can’t fault the guy for sticking to what works — especially when a hold like this is designed to force the opponent to expend extra energy and exhaust them.
Flannery McCoy: Excellent point, Jake. That exhaustion can easily come in handy in a match like this. Drake is on the move though, and he actually manages to roll off to the side before ensaring Rex with a headlock of his own! Down on one knee, he reaaaaally wrenches the head back, and… oh, punch to the head by Drake!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Stew-O: The fans may not like it, but Drake has every ground to do that. He gives a grin at Hans who just stares. Armstrong punches Rex again, and this time, latches the wrist. Off to the ropes McAllister goes. He’s back on the rebound, Drake’s setting up a back body drop —
Jake Mercer: But he gets met with a kick to the face instead! Rex scouts that out, and he backpedals into the ropes, willingly rebounding so that he can come back at Drake! CLOTHESLINE!
Flannery McCoy: No! Drake has hold of the arm! He grabs the other one, and brings Rex down with a backslide — but does not pin him! He rolled him through, and shoots up! HE GOES FOR THE BOOT!
Stew-O: But Rex dips, avoiding it entirely, and he scoops Armstrong down and through with a schoolboy-like manuever! McAllister now is on his feet — BANG! LOW SUPERKICK CLIPS HIM ON THE JAW!
Jake Mercer: Oh, man, Rex was one step ahead of him with that! And that’s gonna allow Rex to grab him and Irish whip him into the corner —
Flannery McCoy: — And Drake spins out of it! Forearm, right to the face! He scouted that out himself! Rex tries his best to shake it off, but another one cuts him down and he sinks to a knee. Drake grins. He holds him by the head, ready to send a firm punch his way..!
Stew-O: But Rex shoves him off! Rex shoots up, and Drake runs — RIGHT INTO A BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX! Drake lets out a cry, and I don’t blame him!
Jake Mercer: Rex has some of the most effective suplexes in the game today. He just adds a certain snap to them that make them hurt even more! Damn, my tailbone hurts just from watching that…
Flannery McCoy: Rex is egging Drake on to get back up and fight, but the heir to the Armstrong Dynasty rolls away, and —
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: There we go! Tag has been made by Hans Grayson, who looks a bit surprised, but isn’t upset. He doesn’t waste time getting into the ring, and the fans cheer at this one-on-one display!
Stew-O: Both men meet up, but there are no holds to be had as Hans swings the first punch! Rex ducks it, and comes back with an uppercut that nails flush! Hans reciprocates it! Back with Rex! AND HANS!
Jake Mercer: Another uppercut — but Hans kicks the arm away and spins! DISCUS FOREARM! Now, Hans yanks the arm and sends him through — but Rex loops back to nail one of his own! Grayson didn’t expect that! The veteran whips him into the corner, and we all know what he’s planning on doing as he charges up, rushing right to him!
Flannery McCoy: Clothesline attempt MISSES! Rex nearly hits the turnbuckle, it’s a good thing he was able to stop himself. He turns around, but is levelled with a sharp side kick to the abdomen! Hans now working quickly, as he rebounds from the ropes…
Stew-O: AND REX MEETS HIM WITH THE CLOTHESLINE! Down he goes, and he rolls away to gather himself. Wasn’t enough to keep him on the mat prone for a count, but it did the job of getting things hot and going for the defending champions early on!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, with how long the climb back to the top has been for Raven and Rex, the last thing they want is to match their history with infamy by becoming one of the very few Elitists to not bag a successful title defense during a reign. Not the shortlist anyone wants to be on.
Flannery McCoy: Absolutely. Speaking of Raven –
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: There she is! She steps on in, and she is ready to go! Hans is back up on his feet —
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: :roman:
Stew-O: And it’s Drake Armstrong who decides he wants to get back into the fray. Hans raises a brow as he looks toward his partner, asking him if he’s serious. Drake responds, saying that he’s got this. Grayson shakes his head, but he steps out, leaving Armstrong to Raven.
Jake Mercer: A little bit of tension remains it seems despite both men standing tall to help each other last Sunday against Elysium.
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, it was on shaky grounds to begin with, and that feeling hasn’t left at all, even if Drake and Hans are meeting each other halfway. Either way, Drake and Raven meet up and Raven latches on to his arm, sending a knee into his gut! She isn’t playing around!
Stew-O: She isn’t, not when she lands yet another knee! Drake winces, but as he shoots up —
(CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!)
Jake Mercer: :damn:
Flannery McCoy: Now that’s what you call a backhanded chop! Goodness! I don’t blame Drake for damn-near flailing around from that! Raven didn’t hold a single thing back! Things look like they’re going to get worse here as she corners him and winds up the hand! ANOTHER chop! Drake looks like he might begin to cry out for Charlees if this keeps up.
Stew-O: He very well may — but we won’t know for certain as he pulls Raven by the hem of her gear! DOWN SHE GOES FACE-FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Jake Mercer: The fans here may not be happy, but it was effective! Raven is down, holding onto her face, and in comes Rex to try and get at Armstrong! Drake slips through and his right behind him! Up goes Rex, and DOWN HE CRASHES, AS HE WAS THE RECIPENT OF A BACK-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: That means BOTH members o Fire & Ice are down, and the referee initiates the count!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE—
Flannery McCoy: Rex is able to break the count as he’s up on his feet, but Drake comes in and immediately pounces! The challenger is showing some hunger, and perhaps, a bit of desperation as he made it clear he wanted to be a champion again!
Stew-O: There are no lengths Armstrong will not venture toward if it means he can add to his resume. It’s been an impressive two years for The Future, and now, he’s telling Hans to get in so he can help him. Hans nods, and joins up with him. Both men grabs hold of Rex, locking his arms in place, and they lift him up — but he’s brought down as Raven was able to recover! Roberts pulls Rex away, and both champions move quickly to strike!
Jake Mercer: Hans and Drake get out of dodge! Stereo kicks clips both defending champions, and they grab hold of each one; Hans to Raven, and Drake to Rex! Might go for suplexes, or some other devastating move together!
Flannery McCoy: But the experienced team slips from their grasp! DOUBLE DDTS! BOTH Hans and Drake get absolutely SPIKED from that, and now, they’re down!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Referee: FOUR!
Referee: FIVE—
Stew-O: Hans and Drake are able to rise. However, no reprieve is found for them. Rex and Raven attack with forearm after forearm, making sure to blister them in the face! Both men are pushed back to the ropes, unable to defend themselves or one another. This is where the experience and chemistry are coming into play as major factors in this bout!
Jake Mercer: Well, let’s see if they can fight out of this soon, because if not, they’re going to have their championship dreams shattered tonight!
Flannery McCoy: Fire & Ice want that to be the case! They don’t think they can be a cohesive team, and right now, it seems like they stand corrected as they BLUDGEON Hans and Drake with elbows! Raven fires off a punch, and Rex follows up with an uppercut! Both men appear stunned — not a position you wish to be in, especially within Last Team Standing!
Stew-O: Yet there is no mercy to be had. Raven and Rex run forward!
Crowd: :damn: :damn: :damn:
Jake Mercer: OH SHIT! THEY GO TUMBLING OUT OF THE RING! HANS AND DRAKE PULLED THE ROPES DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: :lupe: Rex is down, yet Raven manages to land on her feet, even if the landing was awkward for her. She heads over to her partner, helping him come to a stand —
(CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!)
Flannery McCoy: BUT HANS GRAYSON ZIPPED IN BETWEEN THE ROPES LIKE A HUMAN HOMING MISSLE AND WIPES BOTH OF THEM OUT! BACKS HIT THE BARRICADE, AND THE CHAMPIONS ARE SPRAWLED OUT ON THE FLOOR! WHAT A RISK, BUT IT PAID OFF!
Stew-O: They didn’t anticipate it for a single second! Drake looks on, and he’s smirking, pleased with how his partner was able to pull that one off! But will it bring them to victory!?
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Referee: FOUR!
Referee: FIVE!
Referee: SIX!
Referee: SEVEN—
Stew-O: And they manage to get up, having to hold onto one another to keep themselves propped up. Hans and Drake swarm in, though, looking to do some more damage!
Jake Mercer: Raven shoves Hans off and yanks him by the head. She tosses him into the ring — or not, because he swings back around and CATCHES HER WITH THE REBOUND GAMENGIRI! WOW! Roberts back pedals, holding her jaw, but up on the apron is Hans… WHO FLIES OFF WITH A PENDULUM MOONSAULT??? WHAT THE HELL!?!
Flannery McCoy: Insane manuever! Meanwhile, Rex and Drake are tussling! Drake hammers him with some forearms and goes for a hook!
Stew-O: Rex ducks! Drake spins, and McAllister nails him with an uppercut! Hans sees what’s happening and rushes over! He grabs Rex on the shoulder, but gets met with a back elbow! Grayson stumbles! Drake shakes his head off and runs at Rex —
Jake Mercer: BUT REX FLINGS HIM UP AND OVER WITH THE BACK BODY DROP! DRAKE CAREENS INTO HANS!
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD!
Stew-O: You want to talk about insane manuevers!? That’s another one right there! Hans and Drake lay on the ringside floor, grimacing in complete pain from colliding into each other that way! Rex heads over to Raven, helping her up.
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Referee: FOUR!
Referee: FIVE!
Referee: SIX!
Referee: SEVEN—
Jake Mercer: But that wasn’t enough to seal the deal, as Drake and Hans were able to help each other out, and they’re standing. However, they seem to be out of it, and that paves the way for the champions to toss them back into the ring. All four Elitists are inside yet again, but everything has certainly picked up, and for Roberts and McAllister, it’s time to get things seriously in their favor.
Flannery McCoy: Rex stands, letting Raven know to take Hans up, which she does. She pushes him into him, and he raises him! Scoop slam! Hard on the back he lands, and God, he’s arching his back, pain blooming right across his face. He can’t hide that! Neither will Armstrong as she repeats the same thing — AND REX SLAMS HIM DOWN ONTO HANS!
Stew-O: Simple, brutal, it doesn’t get better than that for Fire & Ice, and Rex turning sound fundamentals into punishing offense is what has helped him and Raven reach the apex of the tag division again. Rex looks toward his partner-in-crime, and… she raises a brow. Seems like he has a plan, and that surprises Raven a bit!
Jake Mercer: Guess Rex is going for a different playbook here? However, Raven shrugs and nods, and she walks up to him… he picks her up! He heads over to Drake and Hans who continue to lay and — OH! THAT WAS INNOVATIVE!
Flannery McCoy: Can best describe what they just pulled off there as a scoop slam-assisted leg drop! Raven caught them both on the throat, and rolls off! A forward-thinking tag team attack that could end things here, or at least, destabalize Drake and Hans!
Stew-O: Seems like the case of the former as they back up, letting the referee start!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Referee: FOUR!
Referee: FIVE!
Referee: SIX!
Referee: SEVEN!
Referee: EIGHT—
Stew-O: And they’re up, but it’s becoming a bit more taxing and less effortless. Both men seem out of breath, and that leg drop did them no favors. Raven and Rex strike them with forearms, and both of them hunch forward, weakened as can be.
Jake Mercer: Both husband and wife look to each other and nod. I guess they’re gonna end things here now!
Flannery McCoy: Might as well when they have the chance to! Rex punches Hans! Raven kicks Drake in the knee, sending him down! She backs up into the ropes as does Rex! ‘TWO HALVES OF A HEART!’
Stew-O: NO! BOTH MISSED! THEY STUMBLE FORWARD INTO THE ROPES, BEING UNABLE TO HIT THEIR RESPECTIVE FINISHERS!
Jake Mercer: Both of them look surprised too! They didn’t expect that much wherewithal to still be within the challengers! However, they also know that looking around and standing stupid isn’t gonna cut it, so they whip around —
Flannery McCoy: SPINEBUSTER FROM DRAKE ARMSTRONG, SENDING RAVEN INTO THE CANVAS WITH AUTHORITY!
Stew-O: AND HANS CLIPS REX WITH THE ‘HEAT TWIST’! HE CAUGHT HIM UNAWARE WITH THE MODIFIED VARIANT OF THAT! BOTH CHAMPIONS LIE ON THE MAT!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Stew-O: … But wait. Drake is telling Hans something, and he’s… pointing to the top rope?
Referee: THREE!
Referee: FOUR!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, hang on now! BOTH of them are going to the top rope! The referee stops, seeing that they’re looking to pull off something here!
Flannery McCoy: Hans and Drake make it, balancing at the top. Of course, who can forget that insane spot Armstrong did in lieu to him winning the King of Elite with that insane corkscrew moonsault? I’m surprised with all that muscle he didn’t injure himself!
Jake Mercer: That’s because there is more to him than meets the eyes, and he and Hans are about to stun the world!
Stew-O: Both man fly off! HANS WITH A MOONSAULT! DRAKE WITH A FOREARM DROP! REX AND RAVEN GOT SNIPED!
Jake Mercer: BEAUTIFUL display right there! Grayson and Armstrong ARE working together! Been some awkward spots, but they’re finding their rhythm together, and that’s gonna be crucial for them to not only potentially become tag champions, but face Elysium next weekend at Bloodsport!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, there’s a chance for them to go back-to-back; working together is going to be essential for them, just like how it’s been for this bout!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Referee: FOUR!
Referee: FIVE!
Referee: SIX…
Stew-O: But… Raven and Rex are stirring! They’re getting the gears in their limbs to turn, even if it’s a painful endevour right now!
Referee: SEVEN….
Referee: EIGHT….
Stew-O: They’re rising up..!
Referee: NINE….
Referee: ….!!!
Stew-O: AND THEY’RE GOOD —
Jake Mercer: — OR NOT, BECAUSE HANS AND DRAKE JUST SWARM THEM LIKE A PAIR OF BEES AND STING THEM! An all-out assault! hey’re not even letting Rex or Raven find their footing before they’re throwing wild shots! Forearms, stomps, AND knees! This is a mugging in the middle of the ring!
Flannery McCoy: Armstrong just shoved Raven back into the corner, and now Hans is teeing off on her with those vicious chops! Each one echoing through the arena!
Jake Mercer: And look at Drake! He’s got Rex’s head under his arm… SNAP SUPLEX into the turnbuckles! That’s spine first, and Rex is writhing!
Stew-O: Hans is calling for something big here as both men drag Rex toward center of the ring while Raven’s still slumped in the corner.
Flannery McCoy: They might be thinking of ending it right here! Working in tandem, they heave him up! DOUBLE POWERBOMB ON REX —
Stew-O: NO! RAVEN BURSTS OUT OF THE CORNER —
Jake Mercer: SPEAR! SPEAR! She cut Hans in half!
Flannery McCoy: Holy SMOKES! Raven with a desperate shot and it worked! Meanwhile, Drake just rolled through as Rex reversed with a small package manuever, and shoots up! JUMPING KNEE STRIKE! Drake whirls around, and McAllister ROCKS HIM WITH A DISCUS ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Crowd: :damn:
Stew-O: More ugency here! Drake is up on his shoulders! Rex lifts him up, and SLAMS HIM DOWN ONTO HIS KNEE WITH A BACKBREAKER! DRAKE LETS OUT A SCREAM AS PAIN CURLS ALL AROUND HIM!
Jake Mercer: As for Hans, he’s in big trouble! Raven peppers him with some strikes, staggering the Fire Heart! She calls for Rex and he hurries over! YAKUZA KICKS!
Flannery McCoy: REX TO THE FRONT, RAVEN TO THE BACK! ‘KICKING IT TO HIGH GEAR’ IS THE PERFECT NAME, BECAUSE THEY’RE GOING ALL OUT, SENSING THE END IS NEAR! HANS CRUMPLES TO THE MAT!
Stew-O: And that leaves Drake Armstrong by his lonesome! He’s up on one knee, favoring his lower spine, teeth gritted tightly, but Hans is out of commission! The champions head over and look to set him up — but an elbow catches Raven, and a punch to Rex! Despite the pain, he’s fighting back!
Jake Mercer: Raven with a knee to the face! Armstrong wobbles! She pushes him into the ropes, and Rex gets into position — YET DRAKE CLINGS ON TO THE TOP ROPE!
Flannery McCoy: RAVEN RUNS IN! ‘TALON!!’
Stew-O: SHE STUMBLES OUT OF THE RING! ONCE AGAIN, DRAKE THWARTS THEIR EFFORT! REX RUSHES IN THOUGH WITH A KNEE, BUT HE’S SHOVED AND ROLLS BACKWARD — KNEE FROM DRAKE! GOODNESS!
Jake Mercer: Adrenaline is kicking in! Rex rolls over into the corner! Drake, exhausted, collapses onto his hands and knees —
Crowd: !?!?!?!
Jake Mercer: WHAT!?
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD! WAS THAT WHAT I THINK IT WAS!?
Stew-O: IT… IT WAS! HANS GRAYSON USED DRAKE AS A CATAPULT TO HIT REX MCALLISTER WITH A LEAPING ‘BURNING SHOT LARIAT’!!
Crowd: :damn:
Jake Mercer: 😳
Flannery McCoy: I’m in AWE! I don’t even know what to say!
Stew-O: Neither does everyone else! Rex is out! Drake recovers and realizes what happened. He’s grinning at Hans! Tells him a good job!
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) Now let’s end this…
Hans Grayson: (off-mic) Couldn’t agree more…
Stew-O: They grab Rex and toss him out! Seems like they got more tricks up their sleeves. They exit the ring, and search underneath the ring… FOR A TABLE!
Flannery McCoy: :lupe:
Jake Mercer: Oooooooh, shiiiiiiit….
Stew-O: They set it up! Drake and Hans are intent on finishing things, and this is it! New Unified Tag Team Champions await!
Jake Mercer: Damn. Everyone wanted to question whether they’d remain, but they’re on the literal cusp of winning. Rex and Raven don’t have much fight left in them!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah. I guess opposites truly do attract — and how ironic, given how that is Fire & Ice’s brand.
Stew-O: They’re not wasting time! They have Raven and drag her toward the table —
Crowd: …!!!
Crowd: ND3JQ3JFOIJQO3I4JFQFNKJANERFANKJRNVKGSNJKKLEKLFJ!!!
Jake Mercer: Wait, what the hell? The crowd is going crazy!
Flannery McCoy: Because two people just hopped the barricade!
Stew-O: IT’S ELYSIUM! BRONSON DANIELS! JON KELTON! The challengers’ opponents for Bloodsport just hit the ringside floor like a freight train and are making an immediate bee-line toward them!
Jake Mercer: Bronson comes in — BAM! Clothesline to Hans! Kelton goes right for Drake, fists flying! All hell has broken loose in the ring!
Flannery McCoy: Hans and Drake are trying to hold their ground, but Elysium’s throwing bombs! Kelton with a European uppercut! Bronson with a spinning heel kick!
Stew-O: But Hans and Drake are fighting back now! Elbow from Hans! Jab from Drake — DOUBLE BIG BOOT FROM BOTH! Bronson’s down, as is Jon!
Jake Mercer: Well, damn! Same image from Sunday as Drake and Hans got the better of the two again! They withstood the blindside, and now, Drake and Hans head up onto the apron —
Flannery McCoy: BUT LOOK OUT! REX MCALLISTER’S UP ON THE APRON!
Stew-O: ‘THE REX EFFECT’!!! JUMPING EVEN FLOW DDT RIGHT ON THERE! HANS IS SPIKED HEADFIRST, STICKING UP OUT OF PURE REFLEX, BUT HE’S DAZED! REX IS DOWN ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!
Flannery McCoy: Hans stumbles right into Drake Armstrong, who catches him out of instinct —
Stew-O: — AND HERE COMES RAVEN ROBERTS! She’s back on her feet, slides into the ring, hits the far ropes —
Jake Mercer: ‘TALON’!!! Claymore through the ropes to BOTH Hans and Drake! THE KICK SENDS THEM FLYING BACKWARDS —
(CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASHHHHHHHHH!!!)
Flannery McCoy: — AND CRASHING THROUGH THE SAME TABLE THEY SET UP EARLIER AT RINGSIDE!! SPLINTERS EVERYWHERE!!
Crowd: :damn:
Stew-O: Oh my God…
Jake Mercer: Hans is down! Drake is down! Rex and Raven just turned this match on its head in seconds — and the referee isn’t wasting a single one!
Referee: ONE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Referee: FOUR!
Stew-O: They’re not moving…
Referee: FIVE!
Referee: SIX!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, they may be out!
Referee: SEVEN!
Referee: EIGHT!
Flannery McCoy: :lupe:
Referee: NINE…..
(…)
Referee: TEEEEEEEEEEEEN…..!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND THAT IS IT! REX MCALLISTER AND RAVEN ROBERTS SECURE THEIR FIRST TITLE DEFENSE!
(‘I2I’ by Magnolia Park hits. The fans in attendance give an applause toward the champions, who are successful in their retaining efforts. Rex and Raven are battered up, but are happy and proud all the same. Rex rejoins Raven, limping a bit. Raven helps him stand up straight as they’re both given the Unified Tag Team Championships.)
Stephie Love: Here are YOUR winners, aaaaaannnnnd STIIIIIIIILL the EAW Unified Tag Team Champions… FIIIIIIIIIIREEEEE AAAAAAAAANNNNNND IIIIIIIIIIIICCCEEEEEEE!!!
Stew-O: What a match! It truly was a fight! Drake and Hans seemed to have taken Rex and Raven’s words to heart about getting their act together, because they showed out tonight! Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough — especially with Elysium getting involved in the mix!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, it was unfortunate! Drake and Hans were getting the ball rolling up until that happened. Chaos occurred, things spiraled, and despite them trying to regroup, Rex and Raven went in for the kill in time to end things.
Flannery McCoy: It was an exhilairting contest. Of course, what happened is going to add even more fuel to the Hans and Drake/Elysium match coming up next week. In fact, with that match being a Chainsaw Deathmatch, we can already expect they’re not going to be at a hundred percent for something that is surely going to be brutal.
Stew-O: Certainly. That table fall looked rough. However, if this partnership works out, then perhaps Hans and Drake can try again with the tag titles. Either way, Fire & Ice had something to prove, and that is title defense number one secured. What a stunning victory for them both! All the congratulations in the world to Raven Roberts, and Rex McAllister!
(Elysium, having recovered, are leaving through the steps. They smirk, satisfied with the lick back they got. Meanwhile, Hans and Drake are being checked out.)
(The camera then returns to the successful defending champions. Raven and Rex smile, lifting their championships for everyone to see. The final shot zooms in on the Unified Tag Team Championships before Reckless Wiring fades.)
(A commercial plays for Superman.)
(Reckless Wiring returns as the next match graphic is seen flashing across the screen, getting the crowd in an absolute uproar.)

(The camera then goes over to show Stephie Love standing at the center of the ring with a microphone in hand and a smile on her face.)
Stephie Love: The stipulation chosen… IS A TAIPEI DEATHMATCH!!!
Crowd: ANWONWLQNDLENELWNDWKNEKWNSKWNW
Stephie Love: AND IT IS A TRIPLE THREAT SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘When Darkness Falls’ by Killswitch Engage begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as the crowd erupts into thunderous boos. The camera then goes over to the stage to show Drake King beginning to make his way out from the backstage area. He has a stern expression on his face, one marred by frustration and anger, as he shakes his head before making his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… from Heaven’s Gate.. weighing in at 220 pounds… he is ‘GOD’… DRAKE KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: We know since his return to the Dynasty brand this season Drake King is focused on one thing and one thing only, repairing what happened in the main event of Pain For Pride and capturing the World Heavyweight Championship. Obviously, some things have gotten in the way of that.
Flannery McCoy: Michael Machina and Limmy Monaghan have been breathing down his neck, and we’ve heard his frustrations about everything that’s happened, and it’s apparent that he’s just about had enough. He’s coming into this match to not only win, but push this away to focus on bigger things.
Jake Mercer: But it’s going to be one tall task to do that, most definitely not a walk in the park.
(‘Number One’ by Shirō Sagisu and Hazel Fernandes begins to play through the speakers as the crowd gives a mostly positive reaction for Limmy Monaghan as he’s seen making his way out to the stage. He has a determined expression on his face as he points his fingers to the sky pyro erupting out behind him as he then begins to make his way toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: And his opponents, first… residing in Golden Beach, Florida… weighing in at 227 pounds… he is ‘THE ACE OF ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING’… LIMMY MONAGHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: As for Limmy Monaghan, the goal has been clear, to redeem himself and get back on track. Last season wasn’t exactly the most memorable for him, and The Ace looks to cement not only the moniker, but his name as well, and the only way he can do that is going back to where it all began.
Flannery McCoy: A former World Heavyweight Champion, Limmy has been dying to add another to his trophy case, and how poetic would it be for him to rise back up to the top of this brand and take his place at the top of the world once again. It’s been a long journey, but The Ace is looking to find his stride and we’re going to have to see what comes of it.
Jake Mercer: You will NEVER be him, you will NEVER be THE ACE.
Flannery McCoy: Damn-
Jake Mercer: You will NEVER be LUCAS JOHNSON.
Flannery McCoy: Oh.
(‘Apostle’s Warning’ by Mobb Deep begins to play through the speakers as smoke is seen billowing out from the stage. Then, emerging out, none other than Michael Machina is seen as he jumps back and forth, having an energetic expression on his face as he feeds off the energy from the crowd. He then gives a battle cry, before making his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Lastly… from Brooklyn, New York… weighing in at 250 pounds… he is ‘THE NEW LEGEND’… MICHAEL MACHINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: DO WE HAVE ANY DOGS HERE TONIGHT IN SEOUL??? ARRFARFARFAERRFARFFFARFFFF
Flannery McCoy: WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU???
Stew-O: As for Michael Machina, he started this conflict in the first place, attacking both Drake and Limmy during their main event match, on the very first Dynasty of the season. He’s been keen on making sure that he kills the relics of the past, making room for the future, that future being him.
Flannery McCoy: Of course, Limmy and Drake haven’t particularly taken kindly to that, but Machina is more than willing to take smoke from both of them tonight. I have no doubt that we have a war on our hands.
(All three of them are in the ring as the referee passes around two buckets of glue and glass shards. All of them, with taped up hands, submerge their fists with glue and glass shards. The three of them look ready to go as the referee signals for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: The bell has rung, and this triple threat Taipei Deathmatch is officially underway-
Flannery McCoy: AND MICHAEL MACHINA JUST RAN AT BREAKNECK SPEED! CONNECTING WITH A STRIKE DIRECTLY TO THE FACE OF DRAKE KING!
Jake Mercer: AND DRAKE KING GIVES A CRY OF PAIN AS HE FALLS BACK INTO THE CORNER, THE GLASS SHARDS DIGGING INTO HIM, AND MACHINA WASTES ZERO TIME BEGINNING TO UNLOAD ON HIM WITH STRIKES ALL OVER! MACHINA IS USING THE FULL EXTENT OF THIS MATCH TO MAKE SURE THAT HE DISHES OUT AS MUCH PAIN AS POSSIBLE TO DRAKE KING!
Stew-O: BUT LIMMY JUST CAME FROM BEHIND AND BROUGHT HIS HANDS OVER THE FACE OF MACHINA! HE’S DRAGGING HIM TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING AS HE DRAGS HIS FISTS OVER HIM, AS BLOOD BEGINS TO POUR OUT PROFUSELY!
Flannery McCoy: BUT MACHINA JUST TOOK HIS FIST AND DROVE IT INTO THE ABDOMEN OF LIMMY, APPLYING PRESSURE AS LIMMY IS FORCED TO LET GO AND RIP HIMSELF AWAY, STAGGERING BACK AS HE CLUTCHES HIS GUT! Limmy falls back into the corner, but manages to push himself off as he rushes forward toward Machina- BUT MACHINA MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER AS HE LIFTS HIM INTO THE AIR FOR A BACK BODY DROP!
Jake Mercer: BUT LIMMY FLIPS OVER AND LANDS ON THE SHOULDERS OF A RECOVERING DRAKE KING AS HE TRANSITIONS INTO A HURRICANRANA!
Stew-O: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO KEEP HIM UP BEFORE TURNING HIM AROUND AND RUNNING HIM DIRECTLY INTO THE CORNER WITH A BUCKLE BOMB! Drake King is running off of pure instinct early as he tries to wipe the blood away from his face with his forearms!
Flannery McCoy: BUT HE FALLS INTO MACHINA WHO DIGS THE PALM OF HIS HANDS INTO HIS TORSO AND LIFTS HIM OFF THE GROUND! GOING FOR ‘HEAT’S DESCENT’ ONTO DRAKE KING-
Jake Mercer: BUT THE GORILLA PRESS SLAM FAILS AS DRAKE REACHES HIS ARMS OUT, RUBBING HIS HANDS AGAINST THE FACE OF MACHINA AND FORCING HIM TO LET GO! Machina stumbles down as he drops to a kneeling position, AND DRAKE SLAMS HIS FISTS AGAINST THE BACK OF THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION AND DRAGS THEM DOWNWARD, AS MACHINA IS FORCED TO GIVE A CRY OF AGONY AS HE QUICKLY PUSHES HIMSELF AWAY AND ESCAPES!
Stew-O: This match has already gone full speed ahead. The Taipei Deathmatch, a long-standing tradition in EAW, is not a traditional match; it is an absolute war, where not only one person wins, but one person also survives. Drake staggers backward as he does what he can to try and recover, turning around and focusing on the other person involved in this match-
Flannery McCoy: BUT IT MIGHT BE TOO LATE AS LIMMY RUSHES FORWARD AND GOES FOR A ‘DIABLE JAMBE’ DIRECTLY TO THE FACE OF DRAKE!
Jake Mercer: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT! HE LIFTS LIMMY ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AS HE RUNS HIM FORWARD, GOING FOR YET ANOTHER BUCKLE BOMB TO TRY AND TAKE HIM OUT!
Stew-O: BUT LIMMY IS SELF-AWARE ENOUGH TO PUSH HIMSELF OVER HIS SHOULDERS AND LAND BEHIND HIM! Drake staggers forward and runs into the corner, barely managing to stop himself, but before he can even turn around, it seems like Limmy is already beginning to strike! He grabs a hold of him around the waist, TRYING TO PULL HIM TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING AND LIFT HIM INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO SNATCH A HOLD OF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! He’s stopping Limmy from pulling him away as both of them are having a tug of war for control! Limmy is doing everything to maintain his grip, but Drake is stubborn, AND-
(RIP!)
Jake Mercer: DRAKE TEARS THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING DIRECTLY OFF ITS HINGES! LIMMY DRAGS HIM TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING-
Stew-O: BUT MICHAEL MACHINA JUST GRABBED LIMMY FROM BEHIND AS WELL!
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD! MACHINA LIFTS BOTH DRAKE AND LIMMY INTO A DOUBLE GERMAN SUPLEX!
Jake Mercer: Machina is an absolute beast who can’t be tamed right now! Both Drake and Limmy are taken down to the ground as they retreat to the outside of the ring! They both make their way up to their feet, and Limmy is wasting no time trying to slide himself back inside-
Stew-O: BUT DRAKE JUST GRABBED A HOLD OF LIMMY AND RAKED HIM IN THE EYES WITH HIS GLASS-COVERED HANDS! Limmy is blinded, BUT QUICKLY BEGINS TO THRASH AROUND WITH WILD PUNCHES WHICH STAB INTO DRAKE REPEATEDLY! AND NOW BOTH OF THEM ARE BEGINNING TO TRADE PUNCHES BACK AND FORTH WITH ONE ANOTHER-
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD! MICHAEL MACHINA JUST LEAPED OVER THE TOP ROPE AND WENT FOR A TOPE CON HILO TO TAKE THEM BOTH DOWN!
(THUD!)
Jake Mercer: BUT DRAKE AND LIMMY MANAGE TO PRY THEMSELVES OFF OF EACH OTHER AND MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AS MACHINA OVERSHOOTS IT AND CRASHES INTO THE BARRICADE! MICHAEL MACHINA IS COMPLETELY LAID OUT, LEAVING DRAKE AND LIMMY TO DUKE IT OUT!
Stew-O: DRAKE RUSHES TOWARD LIMMY- ONLY FOR LIMMY TO NAIL HIM RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE WITH A GLASS-ASSISTED PUNCH! THIS DIGS DEEPER INTO THE WOUNDS OF DRAKE KING AS HE’S FORCED BACKWARD! LIMMY THEN RUSHES FORWARD AND GOES FOR ANOTHER STRIKE- BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO GRAB A HOLD OF HIM BY THE HAND BEFORE DRIVING HIS KNEE DIRECTLY INTO HIS ABDOMEN!
Flannery McCoy: Limmy staggers back as he tries his best to recover, BUT DRAKE HAS ALREADY GRABBED HIM BY THE WAIST AND RAN HIM FORWARD BEFORE SLAMMING HIM BACK FIRST AGAINST THE RINGPOST! Limmy drops down to a kneeling position, but Drake isn’t done, as he grabs a hold of him from around the waist before heaving him upward and onto his shoulders!
Jake Mercer: AS HE LOOKS TO SLAM HIM DOWN WITH AN APRON POWERBOMB-
Stew-O: BUT LIMMY TAKES HIS HAND AND PRESSES IT AGAINST THE FACE OF DRAKE! DRAKE GIVES A CRY OF PAIN AS GLASS SHARDS DIG INTO HIS ALREADY OPEN WOUNDS, AND HE’S FORCED TO BRING LIMMY DOWN AS HE TRIES HIS BEST TO RETREAT AWAY! Limmy then grabs a hold of Drake by the head, BEFORE SLAMMING HIS FACE INTO THE EDGE OF THE APRON AND ROLLING HIM BACK INTO THE RING!
Flannery McCoy: And now it seems like Limmy is going under the ring, trying to help him get a weapon that could help him get the advantage…
Jake Mercer: AND HE JUST PULLED OUT A 2X4 WITH NAILS STICKING OUT OF IT!
Stew-O: Limmy rolls himself into the ring as Drake staggers, not realizing what’s coming for him as he turns himself around…
Flannery McCoy: AS LIMMY LIFTS THE 2X4 AND SLAMS IT DIRECTLY INTO THE FACE OF DRAKE! DRAKE GIVES A CRY AS HE DROPS DOWN TO HIS KNEES, AND LOOKS AT THE AGONIZING PAIN THAT HE’S IN RIGHT NOW!
(The nails get stuck into the skin on Drake’s face, as Limmy releases the 2×4 and lets it hang off of his head. Drake’s whimpers of pain continue to grow as he tries to grab a hold of it, trying to rip the nails directly off of his flesh. Limmy, though, has absolutely zero remorse as he watches him suffer. It might just be exactly what he deserves.)
Jake Mercer: LIMMY THEN GRABS A HOLD OF HIM, ALLOWING THE GLASS ON HIS TAPED HANDS TO DIG INTO THE SKIN OF DRAKE AS HE SETS HIM UP!
Stew-O: GOING FOR ‘OUTER HEAVEN’ WITH THE 2X4 STILL STUCK ON THE FACE OF DRAKE! BLADERUNNER WITH AN ADDED OOMPH!
(…)
Flannery McCoy: ## ‘BULLET FROM HELL’!
Jake Mercer: MICHAEL MACHINA JUST ROLLED INTO THE RING AND SPRINTED TOWARD THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING, LEAPING THROUGH THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A SPEAR TO CUT LIMMY IN HALF BEFORE HE CAN CONNECT WITH THE BLADERUNNER!
Stew-O: LIMMY IS IMMEDIATELY DROPPED DOWN TO THE GROUND AS A RECOVERING MICHAEL MACHINA WASTES NO TIME LEAPING FORWARD AND HOOKING THE LEG AS HE GOES FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEE-
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO BREAK UP THE PIN!
Jake Mercer: AS HE RIPS THE 2X4 OFF OF HIS FACE AND STRETCHES HIMSELF OUT, STABBING THE NAILS DIRECTLY INTO THE SPINE OF MACHINA AS HE SHOOTS UP!
Stew-O: Machina slowly drags himself off as Drake keeps the 2×4 pressed firmly against his back! He leads Machina down to the ground before bringing his foot up!
(THUD!)
Flannery McCoy: STOMPING HIS FOOT DIRECTLY INTO THE 2X4 AS THE NAILS DIG DIRECTLY INTO THE BACK OF MICHAEL MACHINA! MACHINA SCREAMS IN PAIN AS THE NAILS ARE BURIED IN HIS SKIN! DRAKE DRAGGING THE 2X4 DOWN AS THE NAILS FOLLOW! TEARING APART HIS FLESH AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN!
Jake Mercer: Machina manages to break himself free as he slowly drags himself away, Drake letting him do so as he focuses directly on Limmy. Drake then falls back against the corner, as he stomps his feet, waiting for Limmy to make his way up to his feet!
Stew-O: BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR ‘JUDGMENT DAY’!
Flannery McCoy: BUT LIMMY MANAGES TO ROLL HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY! HE MAKES HIS WAY BACK UP TO HIS FEET AS DRAKE RECOVERS AND TURNS HIMSELF TOWARD HIM!
Jake Mercer: BUT LIMMY MANAGES TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND NAILS DRAKE FLUSH AGAINST THE FACE WITH ‘DIABLE JAMBE’! THE BICYCLE KNEE DIRECTLY TO THE FACE OF THE HALL OF FAMER LEAVES HIM ON SPAGHETTI LEGS! BUT LIMMY ISN’T DONE EITHER AS HE SETS HIM UP!
Stew-O: AS HE POPS HIM OFF THE GROUND AND SPINS HIM AROUND! GOING FOR ‘BURNING TIDES’! EMERALD FLOWSION-
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE PRESSES HIS HANDS AGAINST THE CHEST OF LIMMY AS THE GLASS BEGINS TO DIG IN! LIMMY IS HURT BY THIS AS HE STAGGERS BACK, ALLOWING DRAKE TO SLIP OFF AND FALL INTO THE CORNER! Limmy tries to recover as he quickly spins around, RUSHING HIMSELF TOWARD DRAKE- BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO BRING HIS BOOT UP AND CONNECTS WITH THE SOLE OF HIS BOOT DIRECTLY TOWARD THE FACE OF LIMMY MONAGHAN!
Jake Mercer: Drake then turns around as he begins to make his way up to the top rope, waiting for Limmy to recover, BEFORE LEAPING OFF AND GOING FOR A DIVING BLOCKBUSTER!
Stew-O: WAIT! MICHAEL MACHINA JUST POPPED UP TO HIS FEET AS HE RUNS UP THE TURNBUCKLES AND JOINS DRAKE ON THE TOP ROPE!
Flannery McCoy: LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND TAKING DRAKE DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH AN AVALANCHE FRANKENSTEINER! DRAKE LANDS ON HIS BACK AS HE GROANS IN PAIN BEFORE RETREATING AWAY, AND MACHINA BEGINS TO MAKE HIS WAY UP TO HIS FEET-
Jake Mercer: ‘DIVINE DEPARTURE’! HIDDEN BLADE DIRECTLY TO THE FACE OF MACHINA-
Stew-O: BUT MACHINA MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER AS HE RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK! GAINING SPEED AT A RAPID PACE!
Flannery McCoy: AS HE LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AND LOOKS TO RETURN THE FAVOR WITH A ‘BULLET FROM HELL’!
Jake Mercer: BUT LIMMY MANAGES TO LEAPFROG OVER HIM AS HE LANDS ON HIS FEET! HE TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AS HE MAKES HIS WAY TOWARD MACHINA-
Stew-O: ‘GUILLOTINE’!
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE KING LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A SICK KICK DIRECTLY TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD OF LIMMY MONAGHAN! LIMMY IS TAKEN DOWN TO THE GROUND AS DRAKE REACHES OUT AND TRIES TO BRING HIM TOWARD HIM FOR THE PIN!
Jake Mercer: BUT LIMMY FALLS THOUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND TUMBLES DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA! The frustration on the face of Drake King tells it all; he thought that he had found his opening right then and there! But he knows that he needs to focus in as he makes his way back up to his feet, doing what he can right now to try and get himself back into this match-
Stew-O: BUT MICHAEL MACHINA SHOOTS UP TO HIS FEET AS HE RUNS TO THE ROPES, DRAKE TURNING AROUND DIRECTLY INTO THE ‘MONEY SHOT’!
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO SIDE STEP OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE SNATCHING HIM BY THE WRIST! HE PULLS MACHINA IN AND KICKS HIM IN THE ABDOMEN, PULLING HIM IN AND HOOKING HIM BY THE ARMS!
Jake Mercer: BEFORE PLANTING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH ‘ASCENSION’! THE PEDIGREE CONNECTS AS DRAKE ROLLS HIM OVER AND TRIES TO GO FOR A PIN ATTEMPT WITH THE REFEREE SLIDING DOWN FOR THE COUNT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR-
Stew-O: BUT MACHINA MANAGES TO SHOOT SHOULDER UP! BEFORE HE BRINGS HIS HAND BACK-
Flannery McCoy: SMOTHERING DRAKE WITH HIS GLASS-COVERED HAND! THIS ALLOWS MACHINA TO ROLL HIMSELF AROUND BEFORE BEGINNING TO BARRAGE HIM WITH BLOODIED PUNCHES! DRAKE IS TRYING HIS BEST TO FEND HIM OFF, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT’S ABSOLUTELY NO USE AS MACHINA IS DOING EVERYTHING THAT HE CAN RIGHT NOW TO MAKE SURE THAT DRAKE STAYS DOWN!
Jake Mercer: Machina then begins to make his way up to his feet as he looks to size up Drake-
(CRASH!)
Stew-O: OH MY GOD! MACHINA JUST GOT STRUCK DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: BY LIMMY MONAGHAN! HE HOLDS THE REMAINS OF A ROLL OF LIGHT TUBES IN HIS HANDS AS IT CRUMBLES INTO A FINE DUST! HE DROPS THEM DOWN TO THE GROUND BEFORE THEN TURNING AROUND AS HE ROLLS HIMSELF BACK OUT OF THE RING!
Jake Mercer: AS HE TAKES A TABLE WITH LIGHT TUBES TAPED ONTO THEM AND PUSHES IT DIRECTLY INTO THE RING! Limmy is wasting no time as he grabs a hold of the light tube table, setting it up as he props it toward the corner, and now he’s set his sights on Machina, who is trying his best to recover but is seemingly blinded thanks to Limmy’s surprise attack!
Stew-O: Limmy grabs a hold of Machina and begins to drag him toward the corner, SLAMMING HIS FACE AGAINST THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE AS BLOOD FLIES EVERYWHERE! Machina is limp at this point, and Limmy is taking advantage of this, going under and grabbing a hold of the legs of Machina, heaving him upward and placing him into a seated position on the top rope! Machina is on the top rope, and Limmy is beginning to make his way up as well, looking to join him and potentially put him through that light tube table!
Flannery McCoy: Limmy grabs a hold of his head before reeling his arm back, CONNECTING WITH A STRONG STRIKE DIRECTLY TO THE FACE WITH HIS GLASS-COVERED FISTS! Machina is left reeling, but he’s doing everything that he can to fight back, knowing the tough predicament that he’s in right now! He tries to send a strike- BUT LIMMY BLOCKS IT AND MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A FOLLOW-UP STRIKE TO THE FACE!
Jake Mercer: Machina only has so much left to retaliate with, as his face is covered in blood. And this gives Limmy the proper chance to grab him by the head and pull him directly into a front facelock. He then does everything that he can to heave him up, AS HE LOOKS TO PUT HIM THROUGH THE LIGHT TUBE TABLE WITH A SUPERPLEX!
Stew-O: BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN! Machina is beginning to fight back! He drives his fists repeatedly into the side of Limmy, with the glass continuing to drive into his abdomen! The former EAW World Champion is doing everything that he can to stay afloat, but the Ace is looking to make sure that he gets the advantage! As both of them struggle for control-
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD!
(CRASH!)
Jake Mercer: DRAKE KING JUST CLIMBED ONTO THE APRON AND PUSHED BOTH OF THEM INTO THE LIGHT TUBE TABLE! BOTH LIMMY AND MACHINA ARE COMPLETELY LAID OUT, AND THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON’T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE OTHER PREDICTABLE FACTORS OF THIS MATCH!
Stew-O: Drake enters the ring, and you can see the smirk on his face as the ultimate opportunist took advantage of a prime situation for him! He makes his way over as he hooks the leg and goes for the pin on Limmy Monaghan!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEE-
Flannery McCoy: BUT LIMMY MANAGES TO KICK OUT! A frustrated Drake doesn’t seem very happy about the kick out!
Jake Mercer: As he quickly crawls over and hooks the leg on Michael Machina this time! Going for another pin attempt!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEE-
Stew-O: BUT MACHINA MANAGES TO KICK OUT THIS TIME!
Flannery McCoy: Drake King looks like he’s completely had enough of this match! He’s rubbing the blood away from his face using his arms as he begins to make his way back up to his feet. Both of them are down on the ground, and it seems like he’s looking to finish them both off once and for all! This might be his best chance to do it!
Jake Mercer: Drake falls against the corner, catching his breath and eyeing both of them as they are trying their best to recover, but as they’re lying in a bloodied heap in the wreckage of the light tube table, that seems to be a pretty difficult thing for him to do. Michael Machina is the first person to begin to show signs of life, as he presses his glass-covered hands against the canvas and slowly begins to push himself up!
Stew-O: Machina manages to prop himself up onto all fours, as he shakes himself awake, doing everything that he can in order to make sure that he can recover and somehow counter whatever Drake King is about to throw at him! BUT IT MIGHT JUST BE TOO LATE!
Flannery McCoy: AS DRAKE RUSHES FORWARD AND LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR! GOING FOR YET ANOTHER ‘JUDGMENT DAY’! ATTEMPT! CURB STOMP-
Jake Mercer: BUT MACHINA MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY-
(THUD!)
Stew-O: AS HE GRABS THE 2X4 NAILBOARD AND PULLS IT INTO THE WAY! THE SOLE OF DRAKE’S FOOT JUST DROVE DIRECTLY INTO THOSE RUSTY NAILS! AND LOOK AT THE PAIN THAT IS WRITTEN ON HIS FACE AS HE IMMEDIATELY DROPS DOWN TO THE GROUND!
(Drake’s eyes widen as he reaches out, trying to pry the nailboard out of his boots, but not only have the nails pressed into the sole, but they’re lodged directly into his skin. The Hall of Famer realizes the situation that he’s in and tries his best to crawl away, but he’s in too much pain to do so, and quite frankly, it’s way too late.)
Flannery McCoy: Michael Machina smells blood in the water as he turns and runs toward the ropes… rebounding… rebounding… rebounding… rebounding…
Jake Mercer: HE’S GOING AT MACH 10 SPEED AS HE LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AND GOES FOR THE ‘BULLET FROM HELL’!
(…)
Stew-O: BUT LIMMY SHOVES DRAKE OUT OF THE WAY AS HE LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AND CATCHES MACHINA OUT OF MOTION WITH A ‘DIABLE JAMBE’!
Flannery McCoy: MICHAEL MACHINA IS DOWN ON THE GROUND AND THIS GIVES LIMMY THE CHANCE AS HE STUMBLES AWAY AND GIVES HIMSELF A HEADSTART! TURNING HIMSELF AROUND AS HE RUSHES FORWARD!
Jake Mercer: ‘DIVINE DEPARTURE’ RIGHT TO THE BACK OF MACHINA’S HEAD! SWINGING ELBOW CONNECTS AND DROPS HIM DOWN AND LIMMY IS QUICKLY SEIZING THE MOMENT AS HE ROLLS HIM OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG! GOING FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT! IS THIS IT?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Stew-O: DRAKE KING LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AND BREAKS UP THE PIN WITH THE CURB STOMP! HIS FOOT STILL HAS THAT NAILBOARD STUCK IN IT!
Flannery McCoy: A NAIL-ASSISTED ‘JUDGMENT DAY’ AS THEY’RE DRIVEN DIRECTLY INTO THE BACK OF LIMMY’S HEAD AND PROMPTLY RIPPED RIGHT OUT AS HE’S SNAPPED BACK! OH MY GOD!
Jake Mercer: LIMMY IS BLEEDING OUT OF THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AS DRAKE COLLAPSES DOWN TO THE CANVAS! LOOKING OVER AT HIM WITH AN EXASPERATED EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE, MARRED WITH PAIN!
Stew-O: AS HE FINALLY MANAGES TO RIP THAT 2X4 NAILBOARD OUT OF HIS FOOT! The Hall of Famer is in an unbearable amount of pain but manages to make his way up to his feet despite being visibly limping.
Flannery McCoy: And now he turns around and makes his way toward the corner, turning around and holding himself up as Limmy slowly rolls himself out of the ring. Machina is seen trying to make his way back up after being taken down by the ‘Divine Departure’ but it seems like he’s going to fall into something else in the process!
Jake Mercer: AS DRAKE RUSHES FORWARD AND LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR LOOKING TO TAKE HIM DOWN WITH YET ANOTHER ‘JUDGMENT DAY’!
Stew-O: BUT MACHINA MANAGES TO GO UNDER AND LIFTS HIM ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! HE BRINGS HIM TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING, AS HE LOOKS TO POTENTIALLY SET HIM UP!
Flannery McCoy: PLANTING HIM DOWN WITH THE ‘.50 CAL’ SITOUT POWERBOMB!
Jake Mercer: BUT DRAKE RAKES THE EYES WITH HIS GLASS-COVERED HANDS! MACHINA IS BLINDED AS DRAKE MANAGES TO FLIP HIMSELF OVER AS HE ROLLS MACHINA INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN ATTEMPT! HE PINS HIS SHOULDERS DOWN TO THE GROUND AS THE REFEREE SLIDES DOWN FOR THE COUNT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Stew-O: BUT MACHINA MANAGES TO KICK OUT! Both of them make their way up to their feet, BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO STEP FORWARD AND NAIL HIM WITH A SUPERKICK DIRECTLY TO THE JAW BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING!
Flannery McCoy: Machina is stunned and this is going to give Drake an opening, as he turns around and runs the ropes! LAUNCHING HIMSELF TOWARD MACHINA!
Jake Mercer: BUT MACHINA MANAGES TO GO UNDER AND LIFT HIM OVER HIS HEAD AND OVER THE TOP ROPE! SENDING HIM FLYING OUT OF THE RING-
Stew-O: AS DRAKE FLIES OVER AND TAKES DOWN A RECOVERING LIMMY MONAGHAN! Both of them are completely on the ground, and this gives Machina the chance as he stands alone inside of the ring!
Flannery McCoy: Drake seems to be recovering once more, as Machina begins to make his way up to the top rope! That’s uncharted territory for him! HE LEAPS OFF AND LOOKS TO TAKE DRAKE DOWN-
(CRACK!)
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD! DRAKE MANAGES TO TAKE SOMETHING OUT FROM UNDER THE BOTTOM OF THE RING AND STRIKE MACHINA WITH IT! TAKING HIM OUT OF MIDAIR! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT IN HIS HANDS?!
Stew-O: OH MY GOD! THAT’S A DRILL!
(Drake takes the brunt end of the drill and drives it into the face of Machina as he flies down to the outside, nearly knocking him completely unconscious while he does so. Not entirely out of the realm of weird for the sick and sadistic Drake King as now he looks to reap the benefits.)
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE TAKES HIS HAND AND PRESSES IT AGAINST THE THROAT OF MACHINA! THE GLASS IS DIGGING INTO HIS WINDPIPE AND THAT PAINS MACHINA ENOUGH FOR DRAKETO TAKE THE DRILL-
Jake Mercer: AS HE PRESSES IT DIRECTLY INTO THE FOREHEAD! MACHINA IS SCREAMING IN AGONY AS DRAKE IS QUITE LITERALLY DRILLING INTO HIS HEAD! DRAKE IS PIERCING THROUGH FLESH AND QUITE LITERALLY TRYING TO GET THROUGH TO BONE!
Stew-O: BUT HE DOESN’T GET VERY FAR! AS LIMMY LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A ‘DIABLE JAMBE’ DIRECTLY TO THE FACE! THE KNEE BREAKS APART MACHINA AND DRAKE AS MACHINA CRUMBLES DOWN TO THE GROUND AND DRAKE STAGGERS BACK!
Flannery McCoy: AND NOW LIMMY HAS DRAKE IN A SLEEPER AS HE TAKES A HOLD OF THE DRILL INTO HIS HANDS!
Jake Mercer: AND HE PRESSES IT AGAINST THE SIDE OF DRAKE’S HEAD! OH THE HUMANITY! DRAKE IS GETTING A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE AS HE CRIES IN AGONY, BLOOD POURING OUT OF THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD AS HE’S DESPERATELY TRYING TO FIGHT BACK!
Stew-O: AND HE MANAGES TO DO THAT AS HE RUNS LIMMY BACKWARD AND RAMS HIM DIRECTLY INTO THE EDGE OF OUR ANNOUNCER’S TABLE! THIS FORCES HIM TO LET GO OF THE DRILL WHICH IS KNOCKED DOWN TO THE GROUND, AND NOW DRAKE QUICKLY GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AND TURNS HIM AROUND BEFORE SLAMMING HIS FACE AGAINST THE FRONT OF THE TABLE!
Flannery McCoy: Limmy collapses down to a kneeling position as now Drake is beginning to dismantle our table! Clearing everything off of it before lifting Limmy up and putting him on here! He then begins to make his way up himself as he grabs a hold of him and begins to connect with a barrage of punches! Limmy is struggling to fight back, and this gives Drake the opportunity to take advantage of this!
Jake Mercer: AS HE GRABS LIMMY THE HEAD AND TRIES TO SPIKE HIM DOWN ONTO THE TABLE WITH A DDT!
Stew-O: BUT LIMMY IS BEGINNING TO FIGHT BACK! HE CONNECTS WITH STRIKES TOWARD THE ABDOMEN OF DRAKE USING HIS GLASS-COVERED FISTS! DIGGING INTO HIS ALREADY OPEN CUTS TO FORCE HIMSELF FREE AND CREATE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO!
Flannery McCoy: Limmy then grabs a hold of him, BEFORE DRIVING HIS KNEE STRAIGHT INTO HIS ABDOMEN! He then snatches a hold of the head and brings him into a front facelock! HE THEN LIFTS HIM UP AS HE TRIES TO DROP HIM OFF OF THE TABLE WITH A HUGE VERTICAL SUPLEX!
Jake Mercer: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO SLIP OUT AND SHOVE LIMMY OFF OF THE TABLE! LIMMY’S FACE BOUNCES OFF THE FRONT OF OUR TABLE AS HE TRIES TO RECOVER-
Stew-O: BUT DRAKE LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH ‘JUDGMENT DAY’ ONTO THE ANNOUNCER’S TABLE! LIMMY’S HEAD BOUNCES OFF AS HE COMPLETELY SLUMPS DOWN! HE’S OUT OF IT!
Flannery McCoy: Drake jumps off of the table and begins to distance himself away from Limmy, doing everything he can right now to try and recover and fight all the pain that he is going through thanks to what has been an absolutely brutal match so far. He grabs a hold of the barricade to keep himself up.
Jake Mercer: Something just blurred past us-
(CRASH!)
Stew-O: OH MY GOD! ‘BULLET FROM HELL’!
Flannery McCoy: MICHAEL MACHINA IS SEEING RED AS HE ROUNDS THE RINGSIDE AREA AND SPEARS DRAKE DIRECTLY THROUGH THE BARRICADE! DRAKE KING IS LEFT IN AN ABSOLUTE HEAP AND IT’S UP TO MACHINA TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SITUATION!
Jake Mercer: MACHINA GRABS A HOLD OF DRAKE AND ROLLS HIM UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND INTO THE RING AS HE SLIDES INSIDE! DRAKE IS STAGGERING UP, WITH A HEAD FULL OF STEAM AS HE RUSHES TOWARD THE ROPES AND BACK!
Stew-O: A SECOND ‘BULLET FROM HELL’ TO DRAKE KING!
Flannery McCoy: BUT DRAKE JUMPS UP AND PLANTS HIM OUT OF MIDAIR WITH A CURB STOMP! ‘JUDGMENT DAY’ CONNECTS AS DRAKE CRUMBLES DOWN TO THE GROUND AS HE HOOKS THE LEG! TRYING TO GO FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Jake Mercer: MICHAEL MACHINA KICKS OUT OF ‘JUDGMENT DAY’!
Stew-O: DRAKE CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED! HE THOUGHT THAT HE HAD THIS MATCH WON! BUT MACHINA IS STILL FIGHTING!
(Drake shakes his head in frustration, but he’s quickly in motion as he rolls under the bottom rope and out of the ring. He storms over to the timekeeper’s area as he begins to motion for something.)
Flannery McCoy: He’s snatching away the two buckets that were used to submerge their hands in glue and glass for this match! What the hell is he thinking?!
Jake Mercer: Absolutely ZERO good intentions right now as he pushes both buckets into the ring and begins to make his way back inside.
(Immediately, Drake takes his foot and coats it in glue, before dipping it swiftly into the glass shards that stick to his boot. He then makes his way toward one of the corners, eyeing Machina with a bloodthirsty look on his face.)
Stew-O: DRAKE RUSHES FORWARD AND LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AS HE GOES FOR ‘JUDGMENT DAY’ WITH HIS GLASS COVERED BOOT! RIGHT DOWN ONTO THE HEAD OF MACHINA!
(…)
Flannery McCoy: ‘DIVINE DEPARTURE’!
Jake Mercer: LIMMY COMES OUT OF NOWHERE WITH THE SWINGING ELBOW DIRECTLY TO THE FACE OF DRAKE KING WHICH SENDS HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! What the hell is he doing???
Stew-O: HE’S COATING HIS ENTIRE ARM IN GLUE! BEFORE COVERING THEM IN THE GLASS SHARDS! HE TURNS AROUND AS HE EYES MICHAEL MACHINA GINGERLY RISING UP TO HIS FEET!
Flannery McCoy: BEFORE HE CONNECTS WITH A GLASS-ASSISTED ‘DIVINE DEPARTURE’ RIGHT TO THE FACE OF MICHAEL MACHINA WHICH KNOCKS HIM COLD!
Jake Mercer: LIMMY SCRAMBLES OVER AS THE CROWD IS IN AN UPROAR! HE HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Stew-O: PUNT!
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE KING JUST USED HIS GLASS-ASSISTED BOOT AND THE REMAINING AMOUNT OF ENERGY HE HAD TO RUSH FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH ‘THE BOOK OF DRISTIANITY’ RIGHT TO THE FACE! AN AMPLIFIED ULTRA FINISHER OF DRAKE KING CONNECTS AND COMPLETELY WIPES OUT LIMMY!
Jake Mercer: AND NOW DRAKE GRABS A HOLD OF MACHINA AND THROWS HIM OUT OF THE RING BEFORE GOING FOR THE PIN ON LIMMY!
(…)
Stew-O: BUT MACHINA BARELY MANAGES TO TURN IT AROUND AND THROW A WEAKENED DRAKE KING THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING! COLLAPSING DOWN ON TOP OF LIMMY AS THE REFEREE SLIDES DOWN FOR THE COUNT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE TUMBLES DOWN AS HE FALLS BACK AGAINST THE BARRICADE! REALIZING WHAT JUST HAPPENED AS HE MAKES A BEELINE TOWARD THE RING!
TTTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Jake Mercer: DRAKE SLIDES INTO THE RING AS HE LEAPS FORWARD, TRYING TO BREAK UP THE PIN!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Stew-O: BUT HE’S TOO LATE! MICHAEL MACHINA JUST STOLE THE VICTORY FROM DRAKE KING! MACHINA WINS!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Apostle’s Warning’ begins to play through the speakers of the arena once more as a bloodied and wounded Michael Machina slowly drags himself off of Limmy. Laying in his own blood, he merely looks up at the ceiling, a small smirk on his face knowing that he came out victorious. Drake’s eyes widened as he knew how close he was to breaking up the pin, but before he could do anything else… he passed out due to blood loss and exhaustion.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… MICHAEL MACHINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Wow… What an absolute war that we just witnessed. All three men walked into this match looking to absolutely tear one another apart, but when it came down to it, when the dust settled, the only person who came out with their hand raised high was the proclaimed old gen killer himself, Michael Machina.
Jake Mercer: Machina had the fullest intentions of making himself known upon his return to the Dynasty brand, and beating two of the very best to do it is certainly one way to make your mark. He put everyone who could possibly stand in his way on notice, he’s coming for the World Heavyweight Championship and nothing is going to get in the way of that.
Stew-O: Again, what an absolute war, and congratulations to Michael Machina on the win!
(Everyone is being tended to by medical around the ringside area, but inside of the ring, Machina shoves past all the doctors trying to check on him, as he makes it his sole mission to raise his arm into the air, a major statement to be made for the future of Dynasty. He then drops down and leaves the ring without any help as it’s the very last thing seen before Reckless Wiring begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(Coming back from the final set of commercials, the matchcard for the main event is shown off…)

(The camera cuts to the ring, as a vast array of weaponry is scattered across the canvas before there is a pan upward to the Chamber of Blood structure. The cage is scattered with razor blades, displaying a horrific sight to come in the main event as Stephie Love can be seen at ringside.)
Stephie Love: The following main event contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: AND IT IS A DOOMSDAY CHAMBER OF BLOOD MATCH, FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
Crowd: :blessed:
Stephie Love: And before any pinfall can occur, the opponent must be BLEEDING!
(‘Vent (Original Version)’ by Baby Keem & Kendrick Lamar can be heard blaring throughout the speakers as the reactions from the audience are immensely loud. The arrival of Methuselah is soon witnessed once he emerges from the back, as he walks through the fog with his shades on display with confidence etched across his expression, ready for the main event.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challenger! Residing from the Ether, weighing in at 17 stone… MEEEEEEEEEEEEETHUSELAH!!!
Stew-O: This is it, the war is upon us as this is an environment no one would willingly partake within. Well, other than the Chairman himself, he will relish in delivering all of the punishment to the champion. Methuselah is incredibly game, and he will not spare any quarter with what he has in store for yet another marquee main event.
Flannery McCoy: This has been quite the heated & embroiled rivalry for both of these Hall of Famers on their own respective ends, as Methuselah is certainly more than eager to shut down the reign of Cy Henderson & see to it that he finally becomes a World Champion once again. Which will all be decided right here in moments!
(‘Saint Pablo’ by Kanye West can be heard blaring throughout the speakers as the crowd roars with the arrival of Cy Henderson. Cy takes a glance upon the audience tonight, not all too receptive to their reactions as he keeps himself focused while looking ahead to the ring with the World Heavyweight Championship around his waist, giving a gaze up to the structure.)
Stephie Love: Introducing the champion! From New York City, New York, weighing in at 240 pounds… HE IS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, CYYYYYYY HENDERSON!!!
Stew-O: This match will mean all the more to Cy Henderson as this may prove to be the most dangerous outing of his reign yet. Henderson has been able to make immense greatness happen, and he has his own focus to keep intact as battling against Methuselah in an environment of this nature will prove to be a tall task for any elitist to encounter!
Jake Mercer: Cy Henderson has been able to make it past the main event of Pain for Pride to hold onto the gold, but it’s about to become all the more troublesome as this will be everything to surmount. All of the vitriol they have shared since the Draft event where Methuselah made his mark known, it boils down to here!
(As both men are situated inside the ring, the Chamber of Blood begins to shift downward. Their gazes remain up to the structure briefly, before glaring toward one another. Methuselah incurs a grin, as Cy’s glare remains adamant just as the structure is reinforced around the ring.)
Stephie Love: THE DOOMSDAY CHAMBER OF BLOOD, BEGINS NOW!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND HERE WE GO! CY HENDERSON DEFENDS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP AGAINST METHUSELAH IN THE DOOMSDAY CHAMBER OF BLOOD!!! This match serves as the most striking breaking point for both men, as Cy Henderson is looking to continue with his worldbreaker of a reign, yet he has to move past an increasingly game Methuselah who will not restrain himself from doing what must be done to usurp the throne of Cy here! An assortment of weaponry pollutes the canvas as this match by every single means possible is looking to become a hellscape in the waiting for each of these men to step themselves into!
Flannery McCoy: Cy Henderson & Methuselah survey the environment they have been locked inside, this is the most crystal clear representation of where violence can be stretched beyond any shred of belief as both men understand the weight that a match of this facet can truly carry!
Jake Mercer: They really don’t seem to have any other choice here! One of ‘em has to bleed if they want to see this match persist into garnering that victory, which I am more than sure they are each looking to make as difficult as possible!
Stew-O: AS THEY MOTION TOWARD ONE ANOTHER & BEGIN TO LAY IN THE PUNCHES! HERE WE GO!! CHAMPION AND CHALLENGER ARE REFUSING TO HOLD BACK IN THE MAIN EVENT AS THE STRIKES ARE WAILING INTO ONE ANOTHER! Cy doesn’t restrain from sending a swift knee across the abdomen of Methuselah! He leaves the Chairman temporarily stunned as he refused to restrain himself, sending another strong right hand across the jaw of Methuselah as he’s sent toward the corner! Cy kicks away all of the weaponry in his way to make his way over to Methuselah, as there won’t be any shortage of control in a match like this!
Flannery McCoy: AS A BACK ELBOW FOLLOWS ACROSS THE TEMPLE OF METHUSELAH! Henderson is keeping Methuselah at bay as he continues to mount much of the control that he can, as the referee won’t have any control when it comes to officiating disqualifications! Cy continues with the strikes across his abdomen as uppercut after uppercut follow suit! Henderson drags Methuselah toward the opposite corner, and he looks to follow toward his opponent as he does not slow himself down from rushing toward Methuselah here as he seeks out this RUNNING ELBOW SMASH!
Jake Mercer: BUT HE’S DROPPED WITH A SUDDEN BOOT FROM METHUSELAH!!! Methuselah is able to retaliate as Cy is now clutching onto his own jaw, stumbling himself upward with immediate movement as he doesn’t want to stay down for long! Henderson drags himself upward using the ropes as Methuselah doesn’t waste another moment–RUSHING TOWARD THE CORNER WITH A JUMPING FOREARM SMASH RIGHT ONTO THE CHAMPION! Henderson has been given no room for himself to maneuver, as Methuselah is sending continuous forearms without stopping himself as he looks to make the most out of the pressure gained! Cy needs to think quickly!
Stew-O: Which results in Cy sending a swift forearm across the jaw of Methuselah to send him stepping back for a brief moment! Methuselah remains on his feet, not even placing a hand over his own jaw as that is not enough to knock him away fully with ANOTHER RIGHT SPRAWLING TOWARD CY—BUT HENDERSON CATCHES THE RIGHT, AND SENDS AN ELBOW RIGHT ACROSS THE TEMPLE OF METHUSELAH TO KEEP HIM DIRECTLY AT BAY! Methuselah is knocked away briefly this time, dropping to a knee as Cy is given room! Now the World Heavyweight Champion rushes forward LOOKING TO TAKE HIM DOWN—
(CLANK!!!!!)
Flannery McCoy: METHUSELAH THROWS THE TOOL BOX INTO THE FACE OF CY HENDERSON!!! Cy lifted his hands up to try and take the brunt of the impact at the last second, but I’m not too sure of how effective that was!! Methuselah may have dropped to that knee just to maintain an environmental advantage over Cy when he tried to sprawl toward him!!! Now the challenger is given leeway to recover, all the while Cy is absolutely dazed from the shot to the face as he’s leaned against the ropes here! Methuselah is bringing himself upward and focusing back on Cy!!
Jake Mercer: With no room left for Cy to be given–AS METHUSELAH SENDS A BLISTERING KNEE ACROSS HIS ABDOMEN!!! Henderson is clutching onto his abdomen now Methuselah takes grip of his hair, and keeps him steady for right hand after right hand, his knuckles being nailed across the skull of Cy with precision as there is no other means of restraint to be had in the Doomsday Chamber of Blood!!! Methuselah is keeping a strong grip of Cy’s hair as he’s now turning him right around, with a grin mustering itself into fruition for the Chairman AS HE’S LOOKING TO SHIFT THE MATCH INTO OVERDRIVE!!
Stew-O: AS METHUSELAH’S DRIVING CY’S FACE TOWARD THE RAZORBLADE-COVERED STEEL!!! BUT CY IS REFUSING TO BE DRIVEN INTO THE CAGE!!! His eyes widen as Methuselah is doing everything that he can to place Cy through as much of the pain as possible here, but Henderson has himself focused on not being the first to bleed here–AS HE SENDS A SUDDEN ELBOW AGAINST METHUSELAH’S ABDOMEN!! Followed by an elbow across his temple as Methuselah is forced to back away and halt on the attempt! Cy recovers briefly while Methuselah is looking to charge forward–
Flannery McCoy: ‘TILL A SUDDEN STEEL CHAIR MEETS THE MIDSECTION OF METHUSELAH FROM HERE!! Cy quickly took hold of the chair, as the brunt of the steel meets his abdomen as Methuselah is now leaning himself against the ropes, in his own worry to occur here while Henderson has now been able to regain control! This is not panning out all too spectacularly for the challenger, as Henderson DOESN’T HOLD BACK FROM SLAMMING THE CHAIR ACROSS THE BACK OF METHUSELAH WITH GOOD MEASURE! Methuselah is slumped over against the middle ropes, in a very lowly state as this match continues!
Jake Mercer: Methuselah is trying to drag himself upward, refusing to keep himself down for long here–BUT CY INDENTS THE CHAIR WITH ANOTHER SLAM RIGHT ACROSS HIS BACK!!!! Methuselah is dormant over the ropes–AS HENDERSON REFUSES TO HOLD BACK!! HE’S PUSHING THE BRUNT OF THE CHAIR OVER THE BACK OF METHUSELAH’S NECK!!! METHUSELAH IS BEING CHOKED TO OBLIVION RIGHT NOW BETWEEN THE MIDDLE ROPE & THE CHAIR APPLYING ALL OF THE PRESSURE AGAINST HIS THROAT!!!! Nothing can be done about the offense in display as Cy lets off of his opponent soon enough! Methuselah finds himself in immense trouble!!!
Stew-O: As Henderson is dragging Methuselah upward, placing the chair down while keeping a very keen eye on his opponent as he would ultimately prefer not to give his opponent too much room to maneuver again here. Cy takes hold, as he is controlling the pace of this match to move to his own accord while the Chairman is coughing up quite the storm right now due to the choke applied from an advantageous Cy Henderson! The World Heavyweight Champion hoists Methuselah upward & over his shoulder, with his gaze aimed toward the razor blade ridden steel cage wall, AS HE RUSHES FORWARD TO DRIVE METHUSELAH HEAD FIRST INTO THE WALL—
Flannery McCoy: ‘TILL METHUSELAH SQUIRMS FREE AND SHOVES CY OFF TO THE WALL–BUT CY KEEPS HIMSELF FROM COLLIDING WITH THE WALL WITH A GRIP OVER THE ROPE!!! Henderson just barely evading disaster once more as Methuselah does the same!!! The champion needs to maintain all of the focus possible while still in the crosshairs of the challenger—
(SLICE!!!!!)
Jake Mercer: DID HE JUST!??!
Stew-O: METHUSELAH JUST SWIPED THE RAZOR BLADE ACROSS CY’S FOREHEAD WITH PRECISION!!!! CY IMMEDIATELY PULLED BACK THE SECOND HE SWIPED BUT HE FINDS HIMSELF BACKED INTO THE ROPES AS THE BLOOD BEGINS TO POUR DOWN!! Methuselah takes note of the blood beginning to drip down the face of Cy, and he just did so with one simple swipe of the razor blade! Henderson’s eyes blink in a flurry as he then glares toward Methuselah, RUSHING FORWARD WITH A BOOT!!!!
Flannery McCoy: METHUSELAH DUCKS UNDER AS CY QUICKLY RETURNS TO HIS STANCE, TURNING AROUND—MY GOODNESS!!! BACK FIST WITH THE RAZOR BLADE BETWEEN HIS OWN FINGERS AS ANOTHER SLICE OCCURS!!! Cy is dropped to a knee as Methuselah places the razor blade into his boot, dragging Henderson over to the middle of the ring as he swipes the chair over with his leg!!! Methuselah has Henderson exactly where he could want him as he takes hold of his head wrapping around his arm TO HOIST CY UPWARD–
Jake Mercer: ‘HELLFIRE’ IMPALER DDT INTO THE STEEL CHAIR!!!! CY IS DOWN AS METHUSELAH DOESN’T WASTE ANOTHER MOMENT TO HOOK THE LEG, GRIN PLASTERED & ALL!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Stew-O: NO! KICK OUT FROM CY!!! HENDERSON HAS PLENTY TO GIVE HERE AS THIS MATCH CONTINUES!!! Methuselah sits himself upward with the grin remaining, shaking his own head as he soon resorts to taking hold of the steel chair, and he is able to bring himself upward while Cy is turning himself right around, trying to crawl & try to find some heightened ground for himself while Methuselah is maintaining the pressure… as that….? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?!?
Flannery McCoy: THAT’S A BULL ROPE COVERED IN BROKEN GLASS!!! EVERY SINGLE SPEC OF THAT ROPE IS RIDDEN WITH GLASS! METHUSELAH’S SMILE REMAINS AS TWISTED AS IT CAN BE WHILE LOOKING TOWARD CY! Henderson is trying to find his ground again, using the ropes to pull himself upward as he is refusing to stay down for long while Methuselah has the rope held closely, CY’S GOT SOMETHING IN POSSESSION BUT TURNS TOWARD METHUSELAH AS THERE’S A SWING!!!
Jake Mercer: CY CACUGHT THE ROPE WITH A HAND!!! He’s glaring toward Methuselah as his own palm is absolutely being shredded by the glass of the rope, Methuselah is scowling as he’s looking to yank the rope back–BUT CY YANKS THE ROPE BACK HIMSELF AS METHUSELAH IS PULLED INWARD & TOWARD THE CHAMPION INSTEAD–
(DING!!!!)
Stew-O: CY BLASTS THE RING BELL ACROSS THE SKULL OF METHUSELAH!!! THE CHAIRMAN IS ABSOLUTELY CLOCKED BY THE BELL AS HE DROPS TO HIS KNEES WITHOUT AVAIL!!! Cy has taken down Methuselah & regained his own measure of control, with the tides shifting in his favor as match is now moving itself along to the side of the World Heavyweight Champion!
Flannery McCoy: AND LOOK!!! METHUSELAH’S OWN CRIMSON IS BEGINNING TO FLOW DOWN HIS FACE!!! THERE’S BLOOD!!! Both men are now bleeding here as Henderson has the biggest opportunity here to keep Methuselah down, as his opponent is not looking to stay down for long–EXACTLY WHY CY IS HOISTING METHUSELAH OVER HIS SHOULDER ONCE MORE, AND RUSHING HIMSELF TOWARD THE CAGE BEFORE LAUNCHING METHUSELAH AHEAD–
Jake Mercer: AS THE LAWN DART SENDS METHUSELAH INTO THE RAZOR BLADE-RIDDEN CAGE FACE FIRST!!! Methuselah lands back onto the canvas directly on his feet, able to maintain balance yet he is STAGGERED BEYOND BELIEF!! Cy’s eyes are wide as he wipes the blood away from his own face, seeing that Methuselah hasn’t been brought down to the canvas just yet!!! Cy gets himself back to a proper stance while Methuselah is unable to retaliate, now rushing himself toward the ropes before RUNNING BACK AT HIS OPPONENT WITH INCREASED SPEED!!!
Stew-O: ‘CYCLONE LARIAT’ TAKES METHUSELAH DOWN AS HE DROPS FLAT ON THE CANVAS!!! Cy is now crawling himself over and onto the challenger, hooking the leg as the count must be made!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWO–
Flannery McCoy: EXCUSE ME!?!?! HOW IS HE STILL CAPABLE OF DOING THAT!?!!? METHUSELAH BEFORE THE TWO COUNT!! But Cy is immediately shaking his own head as he’s quickly grabbing the ring bell, and it hasn’t even been more than twenty seconds since the pin as CY IS RAISING THE RING BELL!!!!
Jake Mercer: AND SWINGS DOWNWARD ONTO HIS SKULL!!!!
(DING!)
Jake Mercer: AGAIN!
(DING!)
Jake Mercer: AGAIN!
(DING!)
Jake Mercer:AND AGAIN!!!!
(DING!)
Stew-O: CY HENDERSON IS ARMED & DANGEROUS WITH THE RING BELL AS METHUSELAH IS COMPLETELY LAID OUT!!! HE IS IMMENSE TROUBLE RIGHT NOW!! Methuselah hasn’t made any strong movements for himself as Cy is dropping the ring bell, now dragging his opponent toward the corner as he doesn’t seem all too intent on making this an endeavor for Methuselah to recover!!! Henderson quickly glances around, and he may have just found a medium for greater control!
Flannery McCoy: AS THAT’S A FULL FORM MIRROR IN HIS POSSESSION! When did the Chamber of Blood bring in a wider array of weaponry?!?!?!! Cy sets the mirror against Methuselah, as there seems to be minimal movement for Methuselah to make here while Cy’s glaring toward where the challenger is positioned, a strong gaze garnering complete form as Henderson doesn’t relent from RUSHING FORWARD FOR A RUNNING BOOT INTO THE MIRROR–
Jake Mercer: SWIFT EVASION FROM METHUSELAH CAUSES CY TO HALT IN THE CORNER!!!!! QUICKLY TURNING AROUND TO–
Stew-O: THE BULLROPE!!! CY IS IN TROUBLE AS METHUSELAH HAS QUICKLY WRAPPED THE GLASS-RIDDEN BULLROPE AROUND THE NECK OF CY HENDERSON!!! Cy is wide-eyed as he’s keeping a hand lodged between his own throat and the bullrope to prevent increased pressure on his own neck!!! His breaths are becoming increasingly scarce the longer this rear naked choke with the bullrope is applied!!! This is panning out for the worse if the World Champion can’t find a solution to this dilemma he’s facing right now! METHUSELAH IS JUST TIGHTENING THE BULLROPE AS CY’S PALM IS BEGINNING TO BLEED INTENSELY!!!
Flannery McCoy: CY DROPS TO A KNEE!!! METHUSELAH’S GRITTING HIS TEETH AS HE IS EXPENDING ALL OF HIS ENERGY TO CHOKE THE LIFE OUT OF CY HENDERSON!! METHUSELAH IS DOING ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING TO SQUEEZE WHATEVER IS LEFT OF THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION–
Jake Mercer: ‘TILL CY FINDS THE WHEREWITHAL TO SHIFT HIS WEIGHT DOWNWARD AND TOSS METHUSELAH OVER HIS SHOULDERS!!! Methuselah is forced to roll forward in response as he motions back to his feet, wide-eyed as Cy presents sheer willpower to escape from the modified choke he maintained!! He doesn’t remain dormant for long as he turns back to Cy AND RUSHES FORWARD WITH A SPEAR—
Stew-O: CY RUSHES FORWARD & HOISTS METHUSELAH INTO A URANAGE SLAM RIGHT OVER THE STEEL CHAIR!!!! Methuselah immediately winces in pain as his lower back every fiber of that!!! Henderson is wiping the blood away from his own face as he’s now rubbing the sole of his shoe along the glass ridden bullrope!!!! His shoe is absolutely ridden with glass as Methuselah turns himself over, trying to make the crawl yet HENDERSON IS TREADING TOWARD HIM!!!!
Flannery McCoy: AS HE STOMPS DOWN ONTO THE LOWER BACK OF METHUSELAH!!!! STOMP AFTER STOMP AFTER STOMP WITH THE GLASS-COVERED BOTTOM OF THE SHOE!!! Methuselah is being placed through the strife here as Cy is refusing to give any room for the Chairman to recover even for a second!!! Henderson takes hold of the bullrope, shaking his own head as he’s now SETTING A SWIFT FOOT DOWN OVER HIS BACK TO KEEP HIM SUPPRESSED!!
Jake Mercer: “Cause Cy is now situating himself directly over Methuselah, sitting himself down over his lower back–AS HE WRAPS THE BULLROPE AROUND METHUSELAH’S FACE!!! METHUSELAH IS BITING DOWN ON THE BULLROPE AS HE’S TRAPPED IN A MODIFIED CAMEL CLUTCH!!! HENDERSON IS KEEPING THE CHALLENGER TRAPPED WITH THE BULLROPE WRAPPED AROUND HIS FACE!!!! THE BLOOD IS ONLY CONTINUING TO SPILL ITSELF DOWN TO THE CANVAS AS METHUSELAH DOESN’T SEEM TO HAVE ANY AVENUE TO MOTION HIMSELF AROUND!!! HE’S IN IMMENSE TROUBLE AS CY IS RETURNING THE FAVOR!
Stew-O: THIS IS NOT LOOKING GOOD AT ALL FOR THE MULTI-TIME WORLD CHAMPION HERE!!! METHUSELAH IS IN DEEP TROUBLE!! Cy is shaking his own head vigorously as our referee is watching Methuselah with bated breath, keeping a keen eye on the Chairman & ensuring that any given moment where Methuselah completely fades can spell the end of this match!!! Methuselah SEEMS TO BE SLIPPING!!! HIS EYES CLOSE BUT HE IS CONTINUOUSLY OPENING & CLOSING HIS FIST TO SIGNAL TO THE REFEREE THAT HE’S CONSCIOUS!! CY MAY BE CLOSING IN ON VICTORY YET METHUSELAH’S OTHER HAND HOVERS AROUND THE CANVAS AS WELL—
Flannery McCoy: CY’S SHIN!!! METHUSELAH IS STABBING A SCREWDRIVER INTO THE SHIN OF CY AS THIS HENDERSON’S STRUGGLING TO HOLD ONTO THE SUBMISSION FOR LONG!! Cy has no choice but to let go!!!! Methuselah shakes his own head vigorously as he’s clutching onto his own mouth, with Henderson leaving a hand placed over his own leg as Methuselah keeps hold of the screwdriver, both men rising back up to their respective feet while Henderson is still finding the wherewithal to drag himself up to a proper standing! Henderson turns–BUT METHUSELAH HAS THE SCREWDRIVER AS HE SEEKS OUT A SWING HERE!!\
Jake Mercer: CY BOOTS METHUSELAH’S HAND AWAY AS THE SCREWDRIVER DROPS!! Methuselah is briefly taken off guard by the boot with his glare set back on Cy Henderson immediately after–BUT A SUDDEN ELBOW ACROSS THE JAW OF METHUSELAH DAZES THE CHAIRMAN FROM HELL & BACK!! Henderson drops to a knee afterward while Methuselah staggers backward into the ropes! The momentum of the ropes causes Methuselah to stumble forward & directly onto Cy!!! DIRECTLY IN POSITION AS CY NOW HAS ROOM TO PUT AN END TO THIS MAIN EVENT TITLE MATCH!!! CY LIFTS METHUSELAH UPWARD WITH NO OTHER ROUTE LEFT TO GO–
Flannery McCoy: ’RISING TIDE’!!!!!!!
Stew-O: METHUSELAH SQUIRMS HIMSELF FREE AND DROPS BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS, CY QUICKLY TURNS–
(# PHUHH!!!)
Flannery McCoy: AS METHUSELAH SPITS BROKEN GLASS DIRECTLY INTO THE EYES OF CY HENDERSON!!!! HOW THE HELL DID HE???? CY IS NOW STRUGGLING TO MAINTAIN HIS SIGHT AS METHUSELAH IS ABSOLUTELY WIDE-EYED SEEING THE STATE THAT CY HENDERSON IS IN!!! CY IS SWIPING AWAY, HIS VISION IMPAIRED AS METHUSELAH PROCEEDS TO RUSH HIMSELF FORWARD!!!
Jake Mercer: AS CY SWINGS–BUT METHUSELAH DUCKS UNDER AND CONTINUES TO RUN, REBOUNDING BACK AS HENDERSON TURNS HIMSELF AROUND NOT LOOKING TO LOSE HIS CONTROL ANY FURTHER—
Stew-O: SPEAR!!!!!!! THE SPEAR TAKES CY HENDERSON DOWN WITHOUT AVAIL!!!! METHUSELAH MOTIONS HIMSELF OVER TO CY, HOOKING THE LEG!!! WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP AT STAKE!!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Flannery McCoy: WHAT!?!!?!?! CY HENDERSON KICKS OUT!!!! HE LIFTS THE SHOULDER AS METHUSELAH SITS HIMSELF UP WITH A VISIBLE SCOWL, LOOKING TO CLOSE THIS MATCH OFF RIGHT THEN AND THERE!! Cy ‘s face is absolutely covered in blood, as much of the canvas has both of these men & their respective blood polluting much of the ring mat as this chaos continues!!!
Jake Mercer: Cy Henderson has made it this far in his reign as World Heavyweight Champion, and he has zero interest in remaining down for the count ‘till it takes EVERYTHING to put him down, and Methuselah is certainly seeing much of that unfold!
(Methuselah’s scowl does remain present, as he lets out an incredibly annoyed groan while raising to a knee, shaking his own head in response to the kick out.)
Methuselah: (off-mic) Very well then…
(Methuselah soon takes his gaze directly to another referee who is standing at ringside, as he keeps his gaze on him.)
Methuselah: (off-mic) Left side, easily distinguishable by emphasized color. Retrieve it for me, and give it to me.
Referee: (off-mic) But–
Methuselah: (off-mic) But what?
(Methuselah’s glare intensifies as his gaze is crucially piercing, and without another word to be uttered, the official retrieves the weapon which is wrapped accordingly, as it is shaped in an extended & slender form, with a low enough width to slide directly through the cage & into the hands of Methuselah.)
Stew-O: Methuselah has acquired himself a newly introduced weapon into this match, as he is wasting no time in concealing precisely what he has in own possession right here as he removes the wrapping–IS THAT…???
Flannery McCoy: HE’S GOT A JAVELIN SPEAR!!! The audience is absolutely shocked to see a javelin be brought into this match as he now takes his gaze toward Cy Henderson, who has yet to be able to find any stance for himself as he still has his hands placed directly over his own eyes after the glass was spat directly onto them before the spear!! Methuselah’s eyes seems to be entirely incensed by delivering the most emphatic manner of brutality imaginable, and he’s TAKING AIM!!! CY NEEDS TO MOVE!!!! HE CAN’T SEE A DAMN THING AS METHUSELAH SHUTS ONE EYE WHILE STEPPING FORWARD–
Jake Mercer: # AS THE JAVELIN IS THROWN TOWARD CY HENDERSON!!!!
Flannery McCoy: :damn:
Stew-O: CY ESCAPES AT THE LAST SECOND!!! THE JAVELIN PIERCES INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE & REMAINS DORMANT IN THE CORNER OF THE RING!!! METHUSELAH COULD HAVE STRUCK CY DIRECTLY IN THE SKULL!!! HE COULD’VE KILLED HIM OUTRIGHT!!! CY MUST HAVE SOME SEMBLANCE OF SIGHT BUT METHUSELAH STILL HAS HIS SIGHTS SET HIM–’CAUSE HE WASTES NO TIME RUSHING TOWARD THE IMPAIRED HENDERSON WITH THE ‘RAPTURE’ HELLUVA KICK!!!
Flannery McCoy: WRENCH TO THE SKULL OF METHUSELAH!!!! CY MUST’VE PICKED UP THE WRENCH AFTER THE TOOL BOX SPILLED OUT ITS CONTENTS FROM THE THROW EARLIER!! Methuselah is dazed and out of his proper mind here as he’s stumbling around in disarray, struck by the wrench is left in this absolutely debilitating state while Cy seems to be finding much of his own vision!!! Methuselah is in trouble as he’s dizzingly turning to Henderson—WHO HOISTS HIM OFF OF THE CANVAS, AND LOOKS TO SEND HIM SPIRALLING DOWN!!!
(# CRASH!!!!!)
Jake Mercer: ONTO THE MIRROR!!!!
Stew-O: WITH ‘RISING TIDE’!!!!!!! BURNING HAMMER DIRECTLY INTO THE MIRROR!!! METHUSELAH CRASHES SKULL FIRST INTO THE MIRROR AS THE GLASS ERUPTS AROUND BOTH MEN!!! HENDERSON IS DRAPING THE ARM OVER METHUSELAH AS THE COUNT IS BEING MADE!!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Flannery McCoy: WHAT!!?!!? METHUSELAH REFUSES TO STAY DOWN!!! HE BOLSTERS THROUGH WITH HIS SHOULDER UP AS CY IS BREATHING HEAVILY HERE!!! This match is not ending by any means, and this means much more needs to be done from here if Cy looks to keep Methuselah down for a considerable count from here!!! This endless struggle is continuing while Cy takes the screwdriver!
Jake Mercer: I believe Cy Henderson has found himself to be very specifically intentioned right now, ‘cause his eyes are set to the canvas rather than Methuselah himself!!!
(Cy motions himself over to the ring, and he begins to cut along the mat of the canvas, which the audience raves immensely as Henderson pulls back on the mat itself, revealing the wooden canvas & exposing a crucial sector of the ring.)
Stew-O: A SECTION OF THE RING CANVAS HAS BEEN EXPOSED!!! CY SEES HIS OPPORTUNITY AS HE’S NOT SLOWING HIMSELF DOWN BY ANY FIBER EITHER!! Henderson is trying to act quickly as he knows with absolute certainty that everything rests on this match!!! Methuselah is gingerly standing himself upward as Cy is now motioning his way toward the corner! METHUSELAH HAS NO IDEA WHERE CY HENDERSON IS!!! THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION LOOKS FOR THE END AS HE RUSHES HIMSELF FORWARD!!!!
Flannery McCoy: AS HE LOOKS FOR ’CALAMITY’ TO METHUSELAH!!!!
Jake Mercer: METHUSELAH SENDS CY THROUGH THE WOODEN FRAME OF THE MIRROR!!!! HENDERSON IS IN TROUBLE HERE AS METHUSELAH SIDESTEPPED & SWIPED THE FRAME DIRECTLY THROUGH CY AS HE MOTIONING FOR THE GORE!!! Henderson is left in a worsened spot here, and Methuselah is finding his own ground to keep this match on the uphill as he’s taking hold of the chair!!!
Flannery McCoy: As he’s climbing up to the very top of the turnbuckle, with a steel chair that’s being held close at hand, and Methuselah is fighting himself through the struggle with far more ease than any ordinary elitist!!! This madman is finding high ground while Cy is trapped within the frame, laid out as Methuselah is glaring downward with the eyes of a crazed animal!!! HE’S LAUNCHING OFF FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!!!
Jake Mercer: ’WINGS OF HELL’ ONTO CY HENDERSON!!!!! THE WINGS ALL OF THE WAY FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL WITH THE STEEL CHAIR IN HAND & SLAMS DOWN ONTO CY WITH PRECISION!!!! HENDERSON’S COMPLETELY IMMOBILE!!!!! METHUSELAH LEAVES HIMSELF DRAPED OVER CY!!!!

Stew-O: THE SHOULDER’S UP!!!!! THE SHOULDER IS BOLSTERED UPWARD!!!! CY HENDERSON KICKS OUT!!!! THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION IS REFUSING TO BE PUT DOWN NOW!!! THE MATCH CONTINUES BETWEEN THESE TWO GOLIATHS FROM HERE!
(Cy is able to keep the match going through his kick out, though his physical state has been diminished considerably as his face is completely covered in blood. Methuselah, despite the kick out—does not express immense shock, nor worry. He maintains a gaze of fixation, with a slight scowl as he slowly rises to his feet.)
Flannery McCoy: Methuselah is certainly seeing just how much Cy has to give, but he appears far more inclined to make a stronger statement than ever before as he retrieves the chair, and despite its indentation he’s able to fix it into a proper form–as he presses the chair right over Cy!!! THIS IS ENTIRELY INHUMANE!
Jake Mercer: BUT CY MAINTAINS HIS HANDS AGAINST AS MUCH AS THE CHAIR AS POSSIBLE TO NOT BE CHOKED!!! Henderson is trying to keep himself on the defensive for as long as he can yet Methuselah’s refusing to budge!
(Methuselah sits himself over the chair, applying all of his bodyweight onto the chair to cause even greater struggle upon Cy Henderson, who is doing all that he can to keep the chair held back by a mere millimeter from his neck. Methuselah proceeds to hold up a small bag within his hands.)
Methuselah: (off-mic) You have done, more than enough… Cyclone…
(Methuselah speaks lowly, with an undertone with disdain behind his voice as he opens the bag, setting the bag directly over Cy’s face.)
Methuselah: (off-mic) *We have each endured our fair share, but only one can have the final word…
(Methuselah proceeds to allow the thumbtacks from the bag to trickle onto Cy’s face, which only causes Cy further discomfort & aggravation as he sinks himself deeper onto the chair.)
Methuselah: (off-mic) Spare me the trouble, Cyclone… Or it is simply off with your head.
Cy Henderson: (off-mic) …
(# SPIT!!!!)
Flannery McCoy: :damn:
Jake Mercer: :damn:
(Cy spits directly in the face of Methuselah, who takes an immense deep breath as if he is trying to reserve his deepest frustration possible, as Cy musters a smirk through his crimson mask.)
Cy Henderson: (off-mic) Can’t kill this Cyclone… never could…
Stew-O: METHUSELAH IS DEVELOPING AN INTENSE SCOWL HERE–
Flannery McCoy: AS HE’S STOMPING DOWNWARD ONTO THE FACE OF THE CHAMPION!!!!!
Jake Mercer: WHICH GIVES CY THE LEVITY TO PUSH THE CHAIR ALONG WITH METHUSELAH AWAY TO FREE HIMSELF!!!! CY USES ALL OF HIS STRENGTH TO PUSH METHUSELAH OVERBOARD & OFF OF THE CHAIR AS THE CHALLENGER COLLAPSES ONTO THE CANVAS!!! HENDERSON IS RISING BACK UP TO HIS FEET AS METHUSELAH FINDS NEW GROUND FOR HIMSELF AS WELL!!!
Stew-O: AS CY SEEKS OUT A SECOND ‘CYCLONE LARIAT’ NOW—
Flannery McCoy: BUT ANOTHER SPINNING BACK FIST METHUSELAH CAUSES CY TO SLUMP BACK AND CLOSER TO THE CORNER!!! METHUSELAH BACKS HIMSELF AWAY TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER!!!! HE’S GLARING TOWARD CY WITH MADDENED EYES AS HE DOESN’T BOTHER WIPING THE BLOOD AWAY FROM HIS OWN FACE!! CY IS VULNERABLE AS HE’S TRYING TO SITUATE HIMSELF UPWARD IN THE CORNER–BUT METHUSELAH RUSHES FORWARD!!!!!
Jake Mercer: # WITH A SECOND SPEAR!!!!
(…)
(# STAB!!!!!!!!!)
Stew-O: OH MY GOD!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: THE JAVELIN PIERCES THROUGH THE RIGHT LEG OF METHUSELAH!!!!!! CY RIPPED THE SPEAR AWAY FROM THE TURNBUCKLE AND THRUST THE JAVELIN INTO THE THIGH OF HIS CHALLENGER!!!! A LAST DITCH EFFORT THAT LEADS TO METHUSELAH ENTERING AN INTENSE STATE OF SHOCK!!! HE DROPS DOWN ON HIS KNEES AS HE’S GLARING DOWN AT THE JAVELIN STUCK IN HIS THIGH!!!
Jake Mercer: CY IS GIVEN IMMEASURABLE TIME TO RECOVER WHILE METHUSELAH HAS A WHOLE NEW DILEMMA HERE!!! THIS IS A GRUESOME SIGHT AS HE SWITCHES TO A SEATED POSITION, DOING ALL THAT HE CAN TO MEDIATE THE AGONY OF THE MOMENT!!!
Stew-O: ‘TILL CY SMACKS METHUSELAH DIRECTLY ACROSS THE SKULL WITH THE BROKEN FRAME!!! METHUSELAH IS NOW LAID OUT AS CY FLIPS HIM OVER, QUICKLY POUNCING ONCE MORE ONTO METHUSELAH WITHOUT ALLOWING FOR ANY ROOM TO MOVE—
Flannery McCoy: ’VOID LOCK!!!!! THE VOID LOCK IS APPLIED AS CY IS APPLYING AS THE VOID LOCK IN FULL!!! HE HAS THE ONE DECENT LEG OF METHUSELAH TRAPPED IN THE SUBMISSION AS THIS HAS TURNED INTO IMMENSE TROUBLE FOR THE CHAIRMAN HIMSELF!!! METHUSELAH IS ERRATICALLY MOTIONING HIS ARMS AROUND FOR ANY ROOM TO ESCAPE!! CY IS KEEPING THIS STF APPLIED TO ALL OF HIS STRENGTH THAT HE HAS VESTED WITHIN HIM!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT METHUSELAH IS REFUSING TO GIVE IN!!! HE DOESN’T WANT THIS MATCH TO END AT THE HANDS OF CY LET ALONE IN THIS SUBMISSION EITHER!!! METHUSELAH DOESN’T HAVE ANY OPTIONS HERE THAN TO FIGHT FURTHER, HENDERSON SHAKES HIS HEAD VIGOROUSLY AS METHUSELAH LOOKS TO CRAWL—
Stew-O: BUT THE JAVELIN IS STILL STUCK IN HIS FREE LEG!!!! METHUSELAH CAN’T HIDE THE OVERWHELMING PAIN AS CY IS KEEPING THE VOID LOCK APPLIED THROUGH EVERY MEASURE!!!!
(Methuselah’s strength begins to fade, unable to mask the struggle as the crimson ultimately exposes much of his own loss of restraint behind his expression. His eyes begin to slowly come to close.)
Referee: (off-mic) METHUSELAH!!! METHUSELAH!!!
Methuselah: (off-mic) …
(No. Response.)
Stew-O: METHUSELAH’S OUT OF IT!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: IT’S OVER!!!!!
Methuselah: (off-mic) NO.
Jake Mercer: METHUSELAH HAS THE WRENCH IN HIS HAND—
Stew-O: AND PRIES THE INDEX FINGER OF CY AWAY FROM THE GRIP–
(# CRACK!!!!!!)
Jake Mercer: WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!
Stew-O: HE TORQUES HIS INDEX FINGER WITH THE WRENCH TO DISLOCATE & SNAP CY’S FINGER!!!! CY YELLS OUT IN ANGUISH IMMEDIATELY LETS GO AS HE’S CLUTCHING ONTO HIS FINGER WITH A SWIFTNESS!!!! METHUSELAH IS EAGERLY CRAWLING HIMSELF OVER, INEVITABLY YANKING THE JAVELIN AWAY FROM HIS THIGH!! HE IS NODDING TO HIMSELF WITH A SWIFTNESS AS HE RETREATS TO THE CORNER AS WELL!!!!
Flannery McCoy: METHUSELAH IS PRIMED AND READY!!! CY IS LEFT IN A DIFFICULT POSITION AS HE’S TRYING TO MEDIATE THE PAIN THAT HE’S BEING PLACED THROUGH WITH HIS FINGER—
Jake Mercer: ONLY TO BE CAUGHT BY A SPEAR!!!!
Stew-O: HENDERSON IMMEDIATELY DUCKS UNDER METHUSELAH AS HE HITS THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE SHOULDER FIRST!!!!! THE SAME TURNBUCKLE THAT METHUSELAH STRUCK WITH THE JAVELIN!!!! METHUSELAH IMMEDIATELY YELLS OUT AS HE’S CLUTCHING ONTO HIS SHOULDER WITH A SWIFTNESS, SHAKING HIS HEAD IN DEFIANCE AS HE TURNS HIMSELF BACK TO CY–
Flannery McCoy: # ‘CALAMITYYYYYYYYYY’ !!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: ONTO THE EXPOSED WOODEN CANVAS!!!! METHUSELAH IS DOWN & OUT YET CY TOOK A BRUNT OF THAT MANEUVER AS WELL!!! HE’S TRYING TO CRAWL HIMSELF OVER TO METHUSELAH, NOT LOOKING TO WASTE TIME YET EACH SECOND IS AGONIZING AS IS!!!

Jake Mercer: THE STRUGGLE WAS INTENSE, BUT CY CAN BREATHE!!! HE SITS HIMSELF UPWARD AS THIS MATCH IS WON!
(…)
(There is no expression of any satisfactory response from the World Heavyweight Champion.)
(DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: MY GOD! SWITCH THE CAMERA TO AN ARIAL SHOT!
(The scene flips to an overhead, as no bell was rung from the timekeeper’s area.)
Jake Mercer: You’re… You’re kidding me!!!!
(Methuselah is ringing the bell with his wrench, as his shoulder was able to be bolstered off from the mat shortly before the count of three, ringing away with an ear to ear, blood-ridden smile on his face.)
Flannery McCoy: HE… HE DID KICK OUT! AND HE’S POKING THE BEAR ‘CAUSE HE COULDN’T BE PUT DOWN! AND LOOK AT HIS SHOULDER!!! IT’S DISLOCATED FROM COLLIDING WITH THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE!!!
(Methuselah crawls himself away from where Cy is sitting himself upward, as the two men, absolutely bloodied & bruised beyond belief, remain conscious enough to find their own wherewithal in this very brief moment of reprieve.)
Methuselah: (off-mic) Tourniquet. Middle. Now.
(Such is tossed into the ring without hesitation by an official, as Methuselah takes the tourniquet.)
Cy Henderson: (off-mic) You shouldn’t have done that.
(Cy takes a firm grip of his finger, and takes one deep breath—before snapping his finger back into place, as he winces slightly while motioning his arm.)
Methuselah: (off-mic) Hm? And what is that, exactly?
(Methuselah sets his arm over the rope, and with one fell motion & a slight groan of pure grit—relocates his shoulder back into place.)
Cy Henderson: (off-mic) Kick out.
(Cy slowly pulls himself upward with aid of the ropes, while Methuselah applies the tourniquet around his leg to halt the increased pain & pressure of the wound from the javelin.)
Methuselah: (off-mic) Cyclone… That will be the least of your concern.
(Both men look down to the glass-covered bullrope dormant in the middle of the ring, and they each take hold of their respective ends, glaring toward one another with bated breath & heavy eyes, their crimson gazes proving to be all the more piercing.)
Stew-O: THEY WRAP THE ROPE AROUND THEIR FISTS—AND BEGIN TO WAIL INTO ONE ANOTHER!!! CY WITH A RIGHT HAND ACROSS METHUSELAH’S JAW AS HE’S JUST RATTLED HIM! BUT METHUSELAH IS REFUSING TO STAY DOWN!!!
Flannery McCoy: AS METHUSELAH SENDS A RIGHT OF HIS OWN BLISTERING ACROSS THE JAW OF CY!!!! CY IS RATTLED AS SPITS OUT HIS OWN BLOOD WHILE METHUSELAH IS GRINNING AS IF THIS IS TRULY ALL THAT HE WANTS!
Jake Mercer: AS CY RETURNS WITH AN UPPERCUT THAT RATTLES METHUSELAH WITH INCREASED STRUGGLE! THE CHAIRMAN DROPS TO A KNEE!!! CY IS DRIVEN TO PUT AN END TO THIS AS HE FINDS HIMSELF RUSHING TO THE ROPES & BACK FOR A SECOND ‘CALAMITY—
Stew-O: ‘THE RAPTURE’!!!!! HELLUVA KICK RATTLES CY IMMENSELY AS METHUSELAH FOLLOWS CY TO THE REBOUND & CATCHES HIM WITH THE BOOT!!! ABLE TO SO SO WITH A WOUNDED LEG & ALL!!! CY HAS JUST BEEN ROCKED AS HE DROPS DOWN TO HIS KNEES!
(Cy collapses down to his knees, as he leans forward & against Methuselah, who remains standing as he takes grasp of Cy’s hair, a glare which entailed all of the years that has led to this very moment.)
Flannery McCoy: WHAT IS HE—HE CAN’T BE!!! HE’S REALLY LOOKING TO SEND CY FOR THE GREATEST RINGER POSSIBLE! METHUSELAH IS SHIFTING CY RIGHT AROUND, AND HE’S REMAINING CAREFUL HERE DUE TO HIS LEG… BUT HE’S LOOKING TO HOIST HIM UP!!!!
Jake Mercer: DIRECTLY OVER HIS OWN SHOULDERS!!!! CY’S IN TROUBLE!!! HE’S IN JEAPORDY!!!! METHUSELAH IS LOOKING FOR THE END—
Stew-O: # ‘ARCHANGEL FALLS’ !!!!!!
(…)
Flannery McCoy: CY’S SQUIRMING FREE & DROPPING DOWN BEHIND METHUSELAH—
Jake Mercer: # LOW BLOW!!!!!!!
Stew-O: AND ANOTHER ONE!!! AND ANOTHER ONE!!!!
(Methuselah drops to his own knees, as Cy controls his breath while finding his rise again, as he spares his own words to the Chairman.)
Cy Henderson: (off-mic) Enough’s enough, Chairman.
(Cy pats his own shin, as he rushes past Methuselah & toward the ropes ahead, as he finds himself rebounding back toward his opponent.)
Flannery McCoy: # ‘CALAMITYYYY’!!!!!
(The vulnerable Methuselah, musters up a smirk through all of the blood, shutting his eyes as he brings his head upward.)
Jake Mercer: IT CONNECTS!!! METHUSELAH IS NAILED!!!! BUT CY’S NOT IMMEDIATELY MOTIONING FOR THE PIN!!! HENDERSON FEELS THE ADRENALINE COARSING THROUGH HIS VEINS AS HE’S DRAGGING METHUSELAH UP TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Stew-O: AND HE’S ABLE TO FIND HIS OWN FOOTING UP TOP—BEFORE SETTING METHUSELAH OVER HIS OWN SHOULDERS!!!! METHUSELAH FINDS HIMSELF IN TROUBLE!!! CY GRITS HIS TEETH TRYING TO BOLSTER THE CHAIRMAN OVER HIS SHOULDERS—BEFORE LEAPING OFF WITH HIM!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… AND STILLLLLLL WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, CYYYYYYYY HENDERSONNNNNN!!!!
Flannery McCoy: My goodness, I don’t think there is any way to properly describe just how much of a chaotic war that became throughout the match at hand. They each were providing all of the pushback against one another with everything that they had, this has been a scary sight from beginning to end…
Jake Mercer: You have two men who have been unafraid to step over the line & do whatever is necessary to the each of them, and this is the match that you come to expect when the going ultimately gets tough—a brutal, bloody, outright gory battle between two EAW greats who wanted to become the World Heavyweight Champion.
Stew-O: Methuselah utilized nearly everything to his disposal, placing Cy Henderson through all of the hellscape that there is to offer in the Doomsday Chamber of Blood—which forced the champion to adapt quickly, and adapt his own reformed cunning over the past season into garnering this victory. Methuselah remained adamant & an immeasurable presence to the end, but one emerges the victor. Congratulations, to Cy Henderson, and thank you all for tuning in to Reckless Wiring!
(‘Saint Pablo’ by Kanye West can be heard throughout the speakers once more, as the cage structure rises from the ring & upward, allowing for officials to sprawl around the ring along with a medical team. The referee hands off the World Heavyweight Championship to Cy Henderson, who can barely keep himself standing as he clutches onto the rope, with the referee raising his arm in victory. Methuselah is tended to by several officials, remaining dormant as Cy sits himself against the apron, exhausted & bloodied with the title over his shoulder as the scene soon fades.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
