( RECAP – The “Showdown” logo sting briefly appears. The show opens with Kassidy Heart and TLA meeting two weeks before their championship match. Their rivalry spills out into a battle with TLA getting the last laugh. The opening match sees Aurora Munroe and Lucas Knight defeat a dysfunctional team of Roberto De La Rosa and Abel Atami. Atami and De La Rosa brawl before Walter Bivens appears and announces they will vye for the EAW Hardcore Championship in a triple threat. Limmy Monaghan comes from behind and lays both of them out. In the second match of the night, Theron Nikolas defeats Ronan Malosi. At backstage, Veena Adams voices her hatred of Cameron Ella Ava’s status. Cameron Ella Ava confronts her and assaults her. The next match sees Serotonin’s Jonny Airhart against The Ice Aces’ Usagi Senshi to determine who will choose their stipulation at Super Showdown. Despite the number of cheating attempts from Serotonin, Usagi Senshi is able to survive by rolling Airhart up. However, Serotonin would attack them after the match. Harper Lee dismisses ARIA’s status as challenger backstage. ARIA drops her with a forearm smash. Impact and Harper Lee square off in a competitive match. Impact loses his cool and attacks Theron Nikolas at ringside, throwing the match out. For the main event, the Showdown King of Elite finalist is settled between Charlie Marr and Adam Lucas. Adam Lucas acquires the well-earned defeat and will face Chris Elite and Andre Walker in the King Of Elite finals. The recap ends with Adam Lucas celebrating. )
( “Brick Wall” by A Day To Remember blasts through the speakers as it opens up to the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Blue-tinted pyrotechnics light up the arena before it is overpowered with unison “WE WRESTLE” chants. The camera pans through various sections of the venue before it focuses in on the commentary team. )
Gavin Kirkland: WE WRESTLE!! WOOF!! WOOF!! WE WRESTLE!! WOOF!! WOOF!! BIH STOP BREATHINN!! BIH STOP BREATHIN!! BIH STOP BREATHIN!!! WOOOOOOOO-
Eve: Dial down there… We learn the stipulations for The Ice Aces vs. Serotonin at the Super Showdown! The King Of Elite finalists have a roundtable here tonight! The contract for the Hardcore Championship triple threat will be signed! You don’t want to miss the main event with Usagi Senshi vs Harper Lee!
Deadprez: And if the rumors are true… For the first time in a while, we might just go to a Showdown without a match getting rudely interrupted with some nonsense! So, let’s get this started with the General Manager in the ring!
(The camera pans to Hurricane Hawk in the ring. Several angles in the back show the roster watching on the monitors scattered throughout the locker and private dressing rooms. Hurricane Hawk was absent last week as he begins to speak….)
Hurricane Hawk: MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN! WELCOME TO ANOTHER EDITION OF SHOWDOWN!
(The crowd cheers loudly and chants….)
Crowd: EAW!!!!! EAW!!!! EAW!!!!!
Hurricane Hawk: Thank you, Thank you! It has been a hell of a start to the New Year so far, but I am going to be honest especially with all that is happening heading into the King of Elite tournament and the Empress of Elite tournament along with the great FPV matches that we have instore for you the fans. But…. BUT Showdown has once again become the Land not of the Elite but the Lawless. I was absent last week, had to tend to a personal matter but I am back. All I have seen is attack after attack and I have had enough of it, because Showdown IS and will always be the WRESTLING BRAND here in the company, we take a lot of pride in what we do and as the oldest Brand, I still feel like we have become the mothership to the EAW as a whole.
Crowd: SHOWDOWN! SHOWDOWN! SHOWDOWN!
Hurricane Hawk: Thank you and so with that said I have a few things to address. First and foremost, TLA and Kassidy Heart. I know what happened last week and it was a blatant disregard for my authority. Later tonight this will be taken care of. Next has been the brash of attacks by certain individuals who have decided to take it upon themselves in bringing this justice into their own hands. I have had wrestlers go out with injury, others have chosen to attack champion in order to get a shot at the belt, whatever is the case, tonight we are not about to let that happen!
(The crowd cheer but many boo as they want to see the violence and the attacks…)
Hurricane Hawk: Every match here will be interference free! There isn’t going to be a single wrestler that is allowed at ringside, we are going to have clean finishes and allow the talent to step up this close to King of Elite. Whether it is Lucas Knight and Aurora Monroe, Ice Aces and Serotonin, Harper Lee and ARIA, the participants in the Hardcore Title match, the Ironman, and Answers World Championship, ENOUGH IS SIMPLY ENOUGH! We are going to remind the world what professional wrestling is all about and it starts here, tonight! And do not forget that we have a very special Super Showdown live from Minneapolis, Minnesota where the veterans, young stars and everyone in between will be on hand with the fallout of the King of Elite tournament and the matches from the Blue Brand it will be one for the record books and one more thing. I will ANNOUNCE THE MAIN EVENT FOR DIA DEL DIABLO! As we then head close and closer to Grand Rampage and Pain for Pride!
(As the cheers are deafening, Hurricane Hawk smirks….)
Hurricane Hawk: Thank you!
(He hands the mic over to Gina Romano and starts to exit the ring, high fiving the fans as they continue to cheer.)
Deadprez: You heard it from Hurricane Hawk, these matches tonight are going to be interference free! He laid down the law and after his absence last week and will be interesting to see how the roster responds!
Eve: Well, we know there will be repercussions for those that want to test the boss, that is for sure! We are in for a big night here in Milwaukee!
Gavin Kirkland: He just made Showdown boring!
(Hurricane Hawk continues to the back as it cuts to an ad for the King of Elite and Empress of Elite tournaments as they run down the finalists.)
(We come back from the King of Elite and Empress of Elite ad, and see the Ice Aces, Usagi and Ayu in the corridors, chatting as they walk.)
Usagi Senshi: This is it Ayu, our chance and we must take it.
Ayu Megumi: We will. This is what we have been waiting for. Together we can accomplish anything.
Usagi Senshi: I cannot wait to share our success with you Ayu. You really are the best of friends.
(They both hug, showing their unity, as Hurricane Hawk steps into view after leaving the ring and addressing Showdown to start, coughing to get their attention.)
Hurricane Hawk: Ah, Usagi and Ayu, I’m glad we bumped into each other.
Ayu Megumi: It’s good to see you as well boss. Did you want to talk with us?
Hurricane Hawk: I did indeed. If Usagi wins tonight against Jonny Airhart…
Usagi Senshi: WHEN, I win against Jonny Airhart
Hurricane Hawk: Nothing is certain here in EAW Usagi, that’s what makes this company special.
Ayu Megumi: You’re right of course, except the fact that Jonny Airhart tends to lose… a lot
(Hawk shrugs his shoulders, not wanting this to get into a discussion about what many saw as a bad trade with Dynasty for Bethany Blue. He’d spoken with Bethany and as far as he was concerned that was all water under the bridge.)
Hurricane Hawk: Although that may be statistically true, it doesn’t mean to say Jonny isn’t a hell of a talent and beating him and being able to choose the stipulation for your match with Serotonin in Minneapolis at the first Showdown after King of Elite is far from a foregone conclusion. And you shouldn’t see it that way either.
Usagi Senshi: No disrespect, but we’ll agree to disagree
Hurricane Hawk: Fair enough. Anyway, I was wondering if you had decided what kind of match you are going to choose should you be successful?
Ayu Megumi: Well, bossman, as it happens…
(Just as Ayu is about to announce what stipulation they will choose, Serotonin walks into shot, boos ringing out from the arena the minute they see them. Airhart just scoffs at the noise, Pandora just laughing sarcastically, conducting the orchestra as she does.)
Jonny Airhart: Seems you guys got a party going on. And everyone knows it isn’t a party without Pandora and I included. Or at least, a ‘good’ party.
Pandora Paisley: Too bloody right. I mean, this atmosphere is a little tense don’t you think? Was it something we did?
(Pandora grins at Usagi who shrugs it off.)
Hurricane Hawk: I was just asking them what stipulation they will choose should Usagi beat Jonny.
(Jonny pulls a face, obviously disrespected.)
Jonny Airhart: Well, that’s not going to happen is it?
Usagi Senshi: You say so, and yet we both know that it will.
(Pandora turns to Hawk, motioning towards Usagi.)
Pandora Paisley: Have you heard this mate? You reckon they deserve to choose the stipulation when they are obviously two crackers short of a packet?
Jonny Airhart: Pandora’s right… it’s ridiculous. And we deserve better than this/
(Hawk rolls his eyes and shakes his head.)
Hurricane Hawk: Well, it’s a bit too late for that, you were the ones who agreed.
Pandora Paisley: Yes, mate we did. But we are Serotonin, we do what we like, and now we have decided that we want to change our minds and not give these two tossers the satisfaction.
Hurricane Hawk: Thing is, unfortunately, you are not the General Manager, I am. And I am the one who makes the rules around here. You agreed, and so therefore if necessary, you will take the circumstances.
(Jonny laughs, but Pandora is on a roll now.)
Pandora Paisley: You’re full of shit if you think you’re the one in control. But I’ll play the claim even if you’re going to be a wanker about it.
(She turns to Usagi, and literally gets in her face, Usagi pushing her away.)
Pandora Paisley: So, come on then, let’s hear it. Let’s see what two ‘great’ minds like yours managed to come up with?
Jonny Airhart: Not that it matters
Pandora Paisley: Just give them their moment mate, they don’t get much. Crack on then.
(Usagi looks at Ayu who nods, and a huge grin forms on both of their faces.)
Usagi Senshi: We choose a TRIP TO PURGATORY match.
(Pandora steps back and looks and Jonny who shrugs his shoulder not having a clue.)
Pandora Paisley: What the hell is that?
Ayu Megumi: Hell is close
(Usagi smiles and starts to explain.)
Usagi Senshi: Imagine a deathmatch, but much worse
(Jonny visibly looks concerned such is his hatred for hardcore matches. Hawk just looks on, listening intently)
Usagi Senshi: Poles are attached to the turnbuckles, about five or six feet higher. Single chains are wrapped around and hanging from those poles and at other points on the ring itself. Attached to those chains are many kinds of weapons, which if you can grab, you can use.
(Hawk now also looks concerned, his ‘We Wrestle’ tagline being made a mockery of by this match. But knowing that he couldn’t do anything about it.)
Usagi Senshi: But that’s not all.
Pandora Paisley: Course it isn’t
Ayu Megumi: Around the ring is a steel cage, so that there is no escape. And the only way to win…
(Hawk closed his eyes, he knew exactly what was coming.)
Ayu Megumi: Is either by knockout, or surrender. No pinfalls, and no submissions!
(Pandora’s eyes widen and there is a momentary silence as the information is digested. Finally, Jonny is the first to speak.)
Jonny Airhart: WTF!!!
(He turns to Hawk, motioning with his hands.)
Jonny Airhart: Are you really going to allow this?
Hurricane Hawk: I’m afraid I have very little choice.
(The Ice Aces wait for a moment, enjoying Serotonin’s reaction, before with huge smiles on their faces they walk away. Jonny is still protesting as they turn the corner of the corridor, but the moment they are out of view Pandora cracks a smirk, turning to Hawk.)
Pandora Paisley: I hope you bloody have two more new bodies to take their roster spots after we are done with them, because this is going to be a massacre mate.
(Hawk doesn’t say anything in reply, he knows full well the way this could end.)
Pandora Paisley: Look on the bright side though, it’s good for ratings right?
(Pandora then walks away, still smirking, as Jonny flips an uno card and then stuffs it in Hawk’s pocket, tapping it before walking away. Hurricane Hawk can only sigh, as the scene fades.)
(The camera pans to the ring after the commercial break to Gina Romano and the announcement to the opening match…)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS THE OPENING MATCH OF SHOWDOWN WITH A TWENTY MINUTE TIME-LIMIT AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST FROM LONDON, ENGLAND! WEIGHING IN AT 230 POUNDS…. THE ALPHA KING…. LUCAS KNIGHT!!!!
Out go the lights with a flick of a switch as all eyes focus onto the stage, just then the screen lights up as the opening to Hail to the King by Avenged Sevenfold begins to play over the P.A system. Then and only then we see a series of words in italic writing phase in and out on the big screen…
.Infamous.
.British.
.Legendary.
Spotlights all start to focus on the stage entrance now changing colors, shades of red, white, and blue and during that time a silhouette of a man can be seen walking out onto the stage with an aura of confidence. Just then the final words explode onto the big screen causing the crowd to react accordingly as the music hit’s into full swing…
.LUCAS KNIGHT.
The crowd’s boos fill the arena as the lights come back on fully to show Lucas Knight standing on the stage looking at the crowd, he wears a full-length military jacket with the union jack emblazoned down one side and a confident smirk on his face. Just then a video of Lucas’ career plays out on the Tron as the music ramps up even more. Then Lucas begins to walk down towards the ring, some loyal fans of his over the years who have followed reach out to touch the British superstar however he doesn’t even acknowledge them. He reaches the bottom of the ramp and smirks to himself once again before leaping onto the apron and stepping through the middle rope and spinning around with his arms outstretched in the center of the ring while the crowd continues to boo.
Deadprez: The veteran and a man that is no stranger to professional wrestling, he has competed around the world and we saw him score a victory with Aurora Monroe against the two guys that are competing for the Hardcore Championship.
Eve: Lucas Knight can climb the ranks extremely fast, he is someone that has the experience and this is no different.
Gavin Kirkland: He is a gentleman and a scholar!
Knight scales the second turnbuckle next and pulls open the jacket to pose to the crowd once more, a grin on his face now while removing the jacket to hang over the ring post. He steps down and waves off the official before testing the ropes to get himself ready for the match as his theme fades and it is replaced by England Belongs to me by Cock Sparrer plays over the sound system as Oliver Taylor, wearing a black and white wrestling mask with black wrestling boots, wearing body armor and black armor trousers with England flag knee pads attached to him walks out from the curtain as he stands to look at the crowd with a serious look on his face.
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT! HAILS FROM LONDON, ENGLAND! WEIGHING IN AT 265 POUNDS! THE MASKED ENGLISH WRESTLER….. OLIVER TAYLOR!!!!
Oliver walks down the ramp before sliding in the ring with a mixed crowd reaction. He goes on the turnbuckle and puts his left arm up. He gets down from the turnbuckle and looks up the ramp, standing in the middle of the ring Glaring at Lucas Knight. The referee checks both men before he calls for the bell…
(DING!!!! DING!!!! DING!!!!)
Deadprez: Here we go both men are locking up and quickly Taylor puts Knight in a side headlock, but Knight pushes him off, Taylor bounces off the ropes, shoulder tackle on Lucas, he falls but Oliver runs, he gets back up and Knight with a leapfrog, Oliver turns and Knight with a textbook arm drag! Oliver is back up and Knight catches him with Belly-to-Belly Suplex!
Eve: Lucas Knight already has Taylor scouted, these two men are no strangers to one another as Lucas faced Oliver in his debut match! Lucas is back at Taylor, picking him up, whip against the turnbuckles, he charges in, Taylor with a huge boot, Lucas staggers back, an exploding lariat by Oliver Taylor taking down Lucas! Oliver goes for the cover!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: The Alpha King kicks out! He kicks out and wait a second…. Look at the back!
(The camera pans to the back area, after Serotonin had their confrontation with The Ice Aces, Pandora lowers her glasses looking at Lucas and Oliver wrestle, turning to Jonny Airhart who smiles and nods. On another screen elsewhere it shows Aurora Monroe who was barred from ringside and has a match later tonight also watching with a smirk on her face.)
Gavin Kirkland: My beautiful Kween! Pandora is back there, and she is watching and listening to me commentate! Aurora too! So stoic and thicc!
Eve: Will you ever just stop Gavin, I mean seriously.
Deadprez: She is probably watching Lucas Knight because there seems to be a connection there between her, Jonny Airhart and Lucas but the Alpha King kicks out and Oliver Taylor is up to his feet, Lucas is up, locking in from behind, no! He tries to lift him into a German Suplex, back elbow and that staggers Taylor, turn around, quick suplex and Taylor is holding his back, wrenching in pain, Lucas against the ropes, HIGH KNEE TO THE CHEST OF TAYLOR AND THE PIN!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Oliver Taylor kicks out! He is grabbed by Lucas Knight and the aggressiveness of Knight is showing, whipping Taylor into the turnbuckle again, he charges in, Taylor with another boot, this time Knight catches him, dragging Taylor out of the corner… ENZINGUIRI BY OLIVER TAYLOR! LUCAS KNIGHT TOO ALL OF THAT AND HE FALLS TO THE MAT, TAYLOR CLIMBS TO THE SECOND ROPE, AND HE DROPS ON KNIGHT WITH A LEG DROP! ROLLING BACK TO HIS FEET, HE PICKS UP KNIGHT, HOOKS HIM INTO A FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX! THIS COULD BE IT!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THE ALPHA KING KICKS OUT AGAIN! Oliver Taylor really thought he was going to get Lucas with that!? Knight is back up and Oliver whips him into the ropes, Knight reverses, Taylor with a cross body! NO! He is caught in mid-air! KNIGHT WITH A FALLAWAY SLAM AND TAYLOR IS DOWN, THIS KNIGHT IS A REAL MAN!
(Lucas Knight sits up wiping his hands, before smirking, he then gets up and grabs Oliver Taylor, forearm after forearm, kick after kick trying to hold him at bay before bringing him out from the ropes, setting him up….)
Deadprez: KNIGHTINGALE NECKBREAKER! OLIVER TAYLOR IS DOWN AND HERE COMES LUCAS KNIGHT, HT RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES, TEXTBOOK KNEE TO THE HEAD OF OLIVER TAYLOR! LUCAS IS NOT GOING FOR THE COVER, KNIGHT INSTEAD CIRCLES THE RING, OLIVER SLOWLY IS BACK TO HIS FEET, KNIGHT GRABS HIM, TAYLOR WITH A CHOP! AND ANOTHER!

(DING!!!! DING!!!! DING!!!!)
Gina Romano: THE WINNER OF THE MATCH……. LUCAS KNIGHT!!!!!
(“Hail to the King” plays throughout the arena as Lucas Knight slowly gets up off the fallen Oliver Taylor who slowly rolls out of the ring with the help of the referee before he then raises the hand of Lucas Knight.)
Deadprez: Statement win by Lucas Knight this week and Oliver Taylor is still looking for his first win in the EAW. Lucas though is looking at what is next after King of Elite and his road on Showdown.
Eve: It was a good back and forth, Oliver Taylor is a great wrestler, but he seems to not see things clicking right now, give him a lot of credit though he is always in the matches, he just needs to…. Wait what is going on here?
(Lucas Knight walks over to Taylor who is on the apron holding his head, he taps Oliver who quickly turns around and stands up, the two men glare at one another as Lucas leans in and whispers something in his ear. Oliver’s eyes widen some as Lucas nods. Suddenly they shake hands and Lucas slowly steps out of the ring and walks off leaving Taylor a bit curious and dumbfounded.)
Gavin Kirkland: Oliver agreed to be Lucas Knight’s butler….. YES!
Eve: You need to stop Gavin!
Deadprez: Lucas Knight was victorious tonight, and we understand that Charlie Marr has something to say!
(Lucas Knight is shown nodding and raising his arms as he walks toward the back while Oliver Taylor looks on. The camera shifts to Charlie Marr sitting down in the back somewhere in a boiler room, looking up at the camera…)
Charlie Marr: Season 15 hasn’t been what I thought. While starting a little promising, coming back after it had started, I found myself first against TLA and Cameron Ella Ava with Veena Adams at Clash of Kingdoms. We should have won, but I continued on. Then I found myself going up against TLA at Reasonable Doubt in a brutal match, I lost but I continued on. That didn’t stop me though even after losing out on the Elimination Chamber I was given one more chance and I made it the best I could. I entered the Chamber, brought a brutality never seen before but was eliminated first all at Road to Redemption…. But I continued on.
(Charlie Marr pauses for a moment, looking away, all in silent, as he slowly turns back glaring at the camera with his blue eyes….)
Charlie Marr: Then came the King of Elite tournament, where I have made it to the finals before and I was so close to being a part of it and yet, I lost to Adam Lucas…. But I continued on. How? Do you think this will stop me? Am I supposed to wither away and die because this roster doesn’t want to see Charlie Marr take what is his? No, I may not be at the King of Elite, but I will be here when it is over. Every single person in this company saw what I did to Amir Yusuf. The Rookie of the Year, the heart and soul of the EAW. Well, I am it’s conscience and right now it is guilty. Not guilty of consequences or action…. Guilty of acceptance. Season 15 will be remembered as the time Charlie Marr rose from the burned down fortress you want to call my career? And find it all inside the ash of its remnants.
(As his eyes narrow, Charlie starts to crack a smirk, but that quickly fades…..)
Charlie Marr: I will be in Houston. And bring hell with me.
The camera focuses on Charlie Marr’s cold eyes as it fades into a Commercial.)
(As it comes back from Commercial Limmy Monaghan with Walter Bivens are in Hurricane Hawk’s office along with Robert De La Rosa and Abel Atami who has a match in just a few moments. Hurricane Hawk has a few of these planned tonight to make up for missed time, he slides the contract over to Esmeralda as she reads it.)
Hurricane Hawk: Gentlemen and Lady, this is the contract, please sign it, state your peace and we can be on our way. First and foremost, as Esmeralda looks over it and signs, is there any questions?
Roberto De La Rosa: One Jefe, is this marana going to be at ringside?
(Roberto points to Walter Bivens who shakes his head….)
Walter Bivens: Of course, I am RO-BER-TO!
Hurricane Hawk: Actually, no you are not.
Walter Bivens: :comeagain:
Hurricane Hawk: That is right, you are not going to be at ringside and neither is Esmeralda. I don’t need you two getting involved and something happening to her or you. These three men are going to face each other in a Hardcore match and that is final. May the best man win.
(Limmy doesn’t look too pleased but understands as Walter is about to mouth off to him, but Limmy quickly intervenes.)
Limmy Monaghan: Not worth it, Walt. It’s fine, I don’t need you there for this. I can take care of things all on my own against these two. Besides, much as they want to believe they are hardcore, the question really is, are they? Much as they want to play pretend, much as they want to think they stand a c hance to take away a title I almost killed a man for who happens to be in the King of Elite finals? I promised to elevate this belt and looking at you two, fat chance on that.
(Abel Atami takes offense to that…..)
Abel Atami: Excuse me!? I find it rather amusing that you actually think that belt is glued on your waist. I know that I can go into King of Elite and crack your skull open, then I will make those who have laughed at me pay the ultimate price by walking out as the Champion. There is nothing you can do to stop me.
(Limmy starts to laugh a little as Roberto then gets involved, Esmeralda though holds him back as she signs the contract and hands it to Hawk, he then gives it to Atami.)
Limmy Monaghan: You do know how to sign your name, right?
Abel Atami: Fuc….
Hurricane Hawk: Okay…. Enough. Sign the contract and let’s go, we are not having some brawl and Abel you have a match in mere moments.
(Abel and Limmy stare at one another for a hot second before he finally turns and reads over the contract, Limmy and Roberto watching him both. He finally nods and signs away, leaving Limmy to sign it as Walter Bivens takes over and reads it.)
Abel Atami: I will see you at the King of Elite where you will crown me the NEW Hardcore Champion.
(Abel walks away and out the door as Roberto then steps up to Limmy, looking him up and down then snickering at the Champion….)
Roberto De La Rosa: I broke you in half cabron. I did it to send a message but come King of Elite, tu eres un Muerto, pendejo. I’m not only going to end your title reign, te voy a destruy. Do you hear me perro?
Limmy Monaghan: I hear you loud and clear, but this time, you’re not attacking me after a match. You nor Abel are in my league, this title defense is an insult to me, but I am a fighting Champion and all I have to do is beat you both within an inch of your lives. This Hardcore title stays with ME.
(Esmeralda pries herself between Limmy and Roberto pushing her husband back…)
Esmeralda: Enough…. Let’s go.
(Esmeralda escorts her man out as Bivens signs the contract and gives it to Hawk. Limmy and Bivens nod at each other while Roberto leaves.)
Limmy Monaghan: Losers.
(The scene fades to a commercial break)
Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit!
( “Madness” by KSI blasts through the speakers as it generates a mixed reaction from the crowd. Abel Atami jerks the curtain and walks onto the entranceway with energy. He scans the atmosphere on the stage before making his way down the ring. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! From Upolu, Samoa, weighing in at 227 pounds… HE IS “THE SAMOAN CRUSADER,” AAAABEELLLL ATTAAMIII!!
Deadprez: Abel Atami is a week removed from potentially a career-defining moment. He has opportunity to become EAW Hardcore Champion in a triple threat with Limmy Monaghan and Roberto De La Rosa.
Eve: As a competitor who hasn’t been successful as of late, this is a great opportunity for him to gain momentum for King Of Elite if he beats Ayu Megumi.
( As Abel Atami prepares in his corner, “Ponytail to Shushu” by AKB48 echoes throughout the speakers. The Milwaukee crowd becomes unblued as they react with an ear-deafening pop. With Usagi Senshi by her side, Ayu Megumi makes her way down to the ring. )
Gian Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT! From Okinawa, Japan, weighing 115 pounds… SHE IS “THE AMAZING GIRL,” AYYUUUUUUUUU MEEGGUUUUMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!
Gavin Kirkland: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! ASIAN CHICKS!
Deadprez: With everyone barred from their respective matches, The Ice Aces are walking into this match knowing that their rivalry will not get in the way. Ayu Megumi will be zoned in on putting away Abel Atami and build momentum for the Super Showdown.
( DING! DING! DING! )
Deadprez: This match is underway as Ayu Megumi and Abel Atami immediately lock horns in collar-and-elbow tie-up. It is one-sided as Abel Atami quickly backs her up into the corner turnbuckles. The referee puts down the count, but Atami goes around the waist and brings her into the center of the ring with a waist takedown. Atami clenches waist before rolling her around on the canvas and cinching in a front facelock. Megumi holds onto his left leg and uses it to free herself and take him down in the process. Megumi applies some torque to his left knee, before Atami gets his free foot to thrust Megumi away! Both competitors get up to their feet and ATAMI STRIKES FIRST WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION!
Eve: ABEL WHIPS HER INTO THE ROPES! Megumi rebounds off the ropes whereas Atami choreographs a back body drop! Megumi with a kick to the face! NO! Abel had it scouted and had a hold of her left foot! AND MEGUMI SWINGS FOR A FOREARM SMASH!! BUT ATAMI PULLS HER IN!! AND THROWS MEGUMI THREE-THIRDS ACROSS THE RING WITH AN OVERHEARD LEG CAPTURE BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!! ATAMI GOES FOR THE FIRST COVER OF THIS MATCH AND THIS MAY SECURE HIM THE BAG!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
T-
Gavin Kirkland: NOPE!! The Samoan Crusader needs to do more damage than that! Why do you guys go so crazy and think this match is ending when the first maneuver is hit! You guys have some issues… Atami stomps on her lower back before he applies a grounded rear headlock. King Of Elite is around the corner and Atami needs to unlock the hardcore side of him if he wants to have a chance of actually doing anything worth mentioning in that triple threat. I mean, he’s facing Limmy Monaghan, so he has zero percent of winning! AND THAT IS PROVEN AS MEGUMI STARTS TO FIGHT OUT OF THE HEADLOCK! MEGUMI WITH PUNCHES TO THE MIDSECTION AS SHE IS ON HER FEET!
Deadprez: NOPE! Atami strikes her with a knee strike into the midsection and turns her around! AND DRIVES HER DOWN WITH A BACK SUPLEX!! WAIT! Megumi flips over his shoulders and lands on her feet! Atami turns around and Megumi hoists him up into the air! AND DROPS HIM DOWN WITH THE ATOMIC DROP!! AND FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A BRIDGING NORTHERNS LIGHT SUPLEX!! AND SHE ISN’T DONE YET AS SHE ROLLS OVER AND BRINGS ATAMI UP TO HIS FEET!! AND MEGUMI SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A RELEASE EXPLODER SUPLEX!! MEGUMI’S ON FIRE IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS MATCH!
Eve: Megumi does not go for the cover as she proceeds to step through the ropes and climb the turnbuckles. Atami is a tad stunned by that turn of events as he gets up to his feet! He sees Megumi on the top turnbuckle and immediately reaches to take out from her foundations beneath! Megumi with a kick to the face that stuns Atami and brings him down onto one knee! Megumi is now perched on the top turnbuckle! ATAMI JUMPS HIGH INTO THE AIR!! AND LANDS A DROPKICK ONTO MEGUMI ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! AND MEGUMI GOES DESCENDING ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOO!! WHAT AN EXPLOSIVE DROPKICK FROM ABEL ATAMI FROM OUT OF ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE!
Deadprez: Abel Atami with a devastating dropkick that sent Ayu Megumi splattering onto the ringside floor. Atami is back on his feet as he hypes himself off. The crowd rains down boos onto him as ATAMI NOW RUNS THE ROPES!! BUT MEGUMI SLIDES INTO THE RING AT THE LAST SECOND!! AND LANDS ON HER FEET OFF A ONE FOOT DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! ATAMI IS STUNNED AS MEGUMI NOW FOLLOWS IT UP!! WITH AN AXE KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!! ATAMI IS STUNNED!! MEGUMI JUMPS ONTO THE SECOND ROPE!! AND SHE MOONSAULTS OVER!! AND LOOKS TO FINISH HIM WITH THE MOONSAULT DDT!
AND MEGUMI SPIKES ATAMI!! THIS COULD BE OVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Gavin Kirkland: NAH!! Ayu Megumi could’ve actually put him away with that! The sexy asian lady gets back up to her feet and connects with a roundhouse kick to the back of Atami. She hits him with a kick to the face and bents down to light up the back of his neck with a huge knife-edge chop! These strikes are what Abel Atami needs to avoid! Megumi now runs the ropes! She changes direction in the centre of the ring and flanks Atami with a basement dropkick to the left ear! Megumi goes for the cover once again and hooks a leg!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Deadprez: ATAMI POWERS OUT AT TWO!! Megumi continues to be on the fast-paced offence and waits in the corner of the ring. Atami gingerly gets back up to his feet as Megumi has him in his sights! MEGUMI CHARGES INTO HIM! SUPERKICK!! NO!! ATAMI CATCHES THE FOOT AND SWINGS HER LEG AROUND!! BUT MEGUMI TRIES TO USE THE MOMENTUM OF THE SWING TO JUMP FOR AN ENZIGURI!! BUT ATAMI DUCKS IT AND CONNECTS WITH A LOW SUPERKICK!! Atami with a superkick as he now holds her up in a gutwrench position! AND DROPS HER DOWN WITH A SIT-OUT GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB!! ATAMI HAS THE ARMS DOWN! COUNT IT, REF!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Eve: MEGUMI GETS HER SHOULDER UP!! Abel Atami shifted the match in his favour with that low superkick to the jaw. Gavin mentioned that Atami needs to avoid her fast-striking abilities and that is what changed the complexion of this match. Atami stomps onto her chest and blasts onto her with a standing elbow drop! Atami now mounts on top of a future tag team championship contender and starts wilding out onto her with a ground-and-pound offence! He is just raining down on one half of the Ice Aces with punches and punches!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh how much I would want to be Abel Atami right now! KEEP ON TOP OF HER!! THIS IS A NICE IMAGE FROM THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!
Deadprez: Atami discontinues the ground and pound and brings her up to her feet. Atami proceeds to Irish whip Megumi into the corner turnbuckles! AND HE CHARGES INTO HER WITH THE CORNER SHOULDER THRUST!! BUT MEGUMI GETS UP AND FLIPS OVER HIS SHOULDERS!!! ATAMI GOES SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST AND NOW MEGUMI HAS THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS MATCH!! THE CROWD IS RALLYING BEHIND MEGUMI AS SHE EMERGES TO HER FEET!
Eve: AYU MEGUMI GOES FOR THE SUPERKICK!! BUT ATAMI STEPS TO THE SIDE!! MEGUMI TURNS AROUND!! AND ATAMI CLOCKS HER WITH A FLUSH SUPERKICK!! MEGUMI IS OUT LIKE A LIGHT AND NOW MEGUMI CIRCLES THE WAIST AND HOISTS HER UP! AND LAUNCHES HER ACROSS THE RING WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX!! BUT LOOK!! MEGUMI IMMEDIATELY GETS UP ONTO HER FEET OFF THE GERMAN SUPLEX!! AND CONNECTS WITH SUPER KICK OUT OF PURE INSTINCT!! RYO NO IKARI!! MEGUMI FALLS SUBCONSCIOUSLY ONTO ATAMI AND BOTH SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!! THIS COULD BE IT!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TH-
Gavin Kirkland: ABEL ATAMI GETS HIS SHOULDER UP!! Ayu Megumi does not let it get into her head and brings Atami up to his feet! She begins to light him with forearm smash after forearm smash! They are absolutely vigorous forearms before she connects with a spinning heel kick to the midsection! A kick to the face followed by a double leg sweep! Megumi now runs into the ropes! She flips forward and is now in handspring motion! ATAMI COUNTERS THE HANDSPRING AND GOES FOR HIS FULL NELSON SUPLEX!! BUT MEGUMI DROPS DOWN AND ROLLS HIM DOWN WITH A VICTORY ROLL!! OH MY!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
TH-
Deadprez: ATAMI POWERS OUT! BOTH ELITISTS GET UP TO THEIR FEET!! MEGUMI GOES FOR THE SPINNING HEEL KICK!! BUT ATAMI DUCKS IT AND CONNECTS WITH A HAYMAKER PUNCH TO THE JAW!! ATAMI NOW HOOKS THE LEG!! AND BRINGS HER UP FOR THE FISHERMAN DRIVER!! BUT MEGUMI HOVERS OVER HIS SHOULDERS AND JUMPS ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!! AND SHE FLIPS ATAMI OVER AND SPIKES HIM WITH A REVERSE HURRICANRANA!! MEGUMI GOT HIM AS HE NOW RUNS THE ROPES!!
Eve: AYU MEGUMI CONNECTS WITH THE FATALITY KNEE STRIKE!!! BUT ATAMI REBOUNDS OFF THE SECOND ROPE!! AND RETALIATES WITH A LARIAT THAT TURNS AYU MEGUMI INSIDE OUT!! MEGUMI JUST GOT FOLDED LIKE AN ACCORDION IN RESULT OF THAT!! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN AND OUT AS IT IS A JUST A GAME OF WHO CAN GET UP AND STRIKE FIRST?!?! Every second of this match has been intense and one of them is just waiting for them to be exposed to that sliver of opportunity that will lead them to victory!
Deadprez: Atami uses the second rope to barely get himself standing and walks towards Megumi! AND BOTH OF THEM KNOCK EACH OTHER OUT WITH SUPERKICKS!! MEGUMI COLLAPSES IN THE CENTRE OF THE RING WHILE ATAMI REELS THROUGH THE ROPES AND DESCENDS ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! It seemed like both of them thought the other had nothing left in them and went for a match-deciding superkick! However, both elitists had the same in mind and that led to them blasting through each other’s jaws with simultaneous superkicks. Megumi is being checked on by the referee while Atami’s upper body is hidden behind the apron sheets. What is the man thinking here?
( Abel Atami brings out brass knuckles and a steel chair. He hides the steel chair under a bottom turnbuckle and slides into the ring with brass knuckles in his hand. )
Deadprez: What in the world is Abel Atami thinking here? This could perhaps be a warning to Limmy Monaghan and Roberto De La Rosa as he is going to knock the lights out of Ayu Megumi! Megumi is on both knees as Atami is squaring up here! USAGI JUMPS ONTO THE APRON AND NOTIFIES ON THE REFEREE!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT A SNITCH!
Usagi Senshi (off-mic): HE HAS BRASS KNUCKLES IN HIS HAND!! TAKE IT FROM HIM!!
Eve: The referee snatches the brass knuckles from Abel Atami! But, I don’t think Abel Atami is unhappy! Atami is going to go for the steel chair that Usagi and the referee is unaware of! AND
( The referee has his back turned as Atami brings the hidden steel chair into the ring. )
Gavin Kirkland: HE SMASHES THE STEEL CHAIR ONTO THE HEAD OF USAGI SENSHI!! THERE GOES SENSHI AS SHE UNRAVELS ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!! THIS IS BRILLIANT HERE!! ATAMI RETRIEVES THE STEEL CHAIR HE HID AND LOOKS TO SLAM IT ONTO AYU MEGUMI!! THIS COULD BE THE MATCH-DECIDER!! THE REFEREE IS OBLIVIOUS TO WHAT HE IS HEARInG!! ATAMI DRIVES THE STEEL CH-
Eve: THE ETHEREAL BLADE INTO THE STEEL CHAIR!! THE STEEL CHAIR SMASHES IT INTO THE FACE OF ATAMI AS IT BACKFIRED!! ATAMI WAS GOING TO EVISCERATE AYU MEGUMI, BUT IT BACKFIRED RIGHT INTO HIS FACE!! NO PUN INTENDED!! AYU MEGUMI THROWS THE STEEL CHAIR OUT OF THE RING BEFORE THE REFEREE TURNS AROUND AND HOOKS BOTH LEGS!! COUNT TO ONE THOUSAND!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
( DING! DING! DING! )
( Ponytail to Shushu’ by AKB48 plays to an ear-deafening pop. Ayu Megumi is joined by Usagi Senshi in the ring to where they both celebrate. )
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. AYUUU MEGUUMIIII!!!
(The referee raises her hand in victory.)
Deadprez: WHAT AN UPSET! AYU MEGUMI WINS!
Gavin Kirkland: W…..WOW! She did it! I’m going to party with them tonight!
Eve: Simp. Anyway… Ayu Megumi with a well-earned victory over Abel Atami! Atami was on the verge of winning this with his whole steel chair plan, but he did not take into account the speed of Megumi and how fast she could put her head into the game. Serotonin better have been watching because that is something you will need to consider on the premiere Showdown event live the week after King Of Elite!
(Abel slowly comes too, sitting up and looks shocked as Ayu jumps out of the ring and celebrates with Usagi Senshi.the camera cuts to elsewhere.)
[SCREENBAR – Local restaurant, Milwaukee Wisconsin; “Zarletti”, Earlier Today…]
(The EAW broadcast would return from commercial break, fading away from the tenebrosity of a black screen, as the camera pans up from the ground. We see that the camera isn’t at ringside, nor even backstage, but actually outside of the arena mounted on the side of the road. Cars drive past the camera, but one thing remains visible, that being a building directly in front of the camera, directly in focus, with a sign reading “Zarletti.” After a few seconds of the camera holding on that same spot, it would eventually fade inside, as we follow what appears to be a waiter walking towards a table. The angle of the camera would reveal none other than our King of Elite finalists, sat at a table across from each other – obviously at a good distance, just in case anything gets too heated and it goes from a meal to a brawl. Knowing the company EAW is, probably not for their safety, but so they don’t need to pay damage costs. The waiter stands next to Adam Lucas, as he places the menu on the table. He looks around at the three, already sensing the tension. He sighs.)
Waiter: Well, uh… if you need me… just-
Chris Elite: Yeah, we got it, twin.
Waiter: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EEDG3V6X4Acsuso.jpg
(The waiter stares at Chris Elite, before shaking his head, and leaving. He’d love to kick them out but the paycheck is too high so he allows the bickering, and instead of arguing back, he walks out of frame. The camera pans back to the table, as Chris Elite, Andre Walker, and Adam Lucas all stare at one another, in pure silence. The intensity only builds up, for seconds upon seconds before eventually…)
Chris Elite: Y’all not gonna say anything? Fucking annoying.
Adam Lucas: :sas2:
Andre Walker: :snoop:
(Chris Elite sighs.)
Chris Elite: Fine, y’all be dickeating most days but now you’re not talking. Wonder why? :mjpls:
Adam Lucas: Relax, Chris. I get it, you’re passionate about this match, but I didn’t bring us here to argue. We don’t need… bad blood… hatred. We don’t *need* to go into this match looking to take each other’s heads off, that is, until the bell actually rings. As I said, relax, put your feet up, get something to eat. My, and EAW’s, treat for you both.
Andre Walker: You heard exactly what I said last night, Adam. You heard exactly what I think of this match, that come hell or high water, I *am* getting crowned. Yet for some reason, you invited myself and Chris down here… to relax? To eat? You know what, Adam? I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. A free meal is acceptable. After all, heavy is the head that wears the crown. One good, free meal before one of the two of you ends up grounded, and at my feet. May as well refer to it as your last supper.
(Chris Elite yawns.)
Chris Elite: 🍅🍅🍅
Adam Lucas: :francis:
Chris Elite: Let’s chill with the metaphors cornball, no crowd to start buying into this shit ‘cause they don’t understand what it means. You’re not gonna do shit. A whole bunch of meaningless shit ain’t gonna get you the win, Dr. Seuss, you won’t be that confident when ya jaw gonna need checking on like Ryan Wilson did Ronan Malosi… pause. You right though, gotta enjoy that last meal before you get too used to eating that sloppy school lunch shit because you can’t feel that jaw after I Box Office Smash it straight into the eighth row.
Customer: Ayo.
(A teenage customer is seen walking past Chris, wearing a Malcolm Jones T-Shirt. The camera pans between the two of them, before settling on Chris.)
Chris Elite: Where’s your mother you little bitch?
Customer: :mjcry:
(The customer walks away.)
Andre Walker: So, as you were saying?
Chris Elite: As I was saying you fucking prick, I’m knocking your lights out, no doubts about it. Whether it’s you or Adam who gets in my way, I don’t care, I’m winning this whole thing and ruining your whole fever dream before you ever get to do anything more than “Interwire Champion”, and the same shit goes for you Adam. It’s cute how both of y’all really expect this to just be yours. REAL cute. It’ll blow up right in your faces and then you’ll start getting mad that you went back to back with losses on a big stage whereas I didn’t. Then I’ll go on to win my SECOND world title, before y’all ever win your first. Proving that the weirdos that try make the argument that I fell off are wrong. Proving that I ain’t peak in 2018. Now, what’s on this menu?
(Chris Elite puts his feet up on the table, before reading the menu. He looks up and down, before a confused look comes on his face.)
Chris Elite: Fuck is some of the shit on here, son? Why is it in French?
Adam Lucas: Well…
Chris Elite: Cece este absurde!
(Andre Walker facepalms, before he too looks at the menu, as does Adam Lucas a few moments later.)
Andre Walker: You know, Chris, I feel like you’re insecure. You seem to defend your own accomplishments so much, and at this juncture, it’s always uncalled for. You’d be right to be proud of everything you’ve done. You’d be right to make it important to you, but nobody was talking about any doubts, or any “you don’t deserve it” drivel. We know you’re good, stop acting like you’re not, because you’ll certainly look stupid when you force this narrative that people underlook you and *then* you eat Hunger on Hillside. Stop your attempts at trying to convince us on something we already believe, you don’t look great, you don’t look fantastic. I summed you up in one fucking word, and do you know what that is, Chris? Insecure.
(Chris Elite stares across at Andre Walker, as Andre stares back. The two look pissed off…)
Chris Elite: Sorry, INSECURE? That’s fucking hilarious, twin. That’s fucking hilari-
Adam Lucas: GUYS. Both of you, shut the fuck up. I told you that we were here for a meal, so we don’t decide to decapitate the other, and you decided to try and get on everyone’s nerves, including mine. We could sit here, and start arguing about who’s going to win, and we’ll get absolutely nowhere. We all know we’re convinced we are winning, we’re all convinced we’re right. We all know Chris Elite is great, we all know Andre Walker as a huge future, and guess what? Nobody gives a shit. Nobody cares about these pointless arguments, “twin”, it’s nothing we haven’t heard before.
(Adam Lucas chuckles, as, obviously, they both are on his nerves slightly but he’s playing it off and taking it on the chin.)
Adam Lucas: Andre, you’re talking about insecurities, but you felt the need to keep talking after I said I was simply here to eat and not talk. Personally, that’s not much security here. You felt the need to *attempt* to get even more words in, just as Chris Elite felt the need to *attempt* to remind us of everything we already know. Both of you are just being petty. And by now, you should know that pettiness doesn’t win you World Championships, nor tournaments. I mean, one of us has won a World Title, and the other two – myself and Andre – have faced numerous Elitists who have themselves, *and won.* We know exactly what it takes, so let’s not consider anyone here an exception, because we’re not. Both of you are at each other’s throats because you’re *petty.*
Adam Lucas: And you know what? That’s a good thing. I’m glad the both of you have it off your chest because I expect the best out of you. I expect the absolute greatest out of the both of you, because if not? Neither of you will be right. Now, again, are we eating?
(Adam Lucas looks around the table. Both Chris and Andre look at each other, then back at Adam, before Chris sighs, and Andre shakes his head. Adam smiles in response, before lifting his hand up, and the waiter comes over. )
Waiter: Would you like ice in your drink?
Chris Elite: What fucking drink, son?
Waiter: Bread?
Chris Elite: N… no.
Waiter: Our 18-year-old cook from Texas to make your meal despite only being able to use a microwave?
Chris Elite:…
Andre Walker:…
Adam Lucas:…That somewhat sounds familiar.
Chris Elite: *sigh.* Just, take our orders bro.
(Chris Elite facepalms, as Adam Lucas laughs – obviously having made fun of Jake Smith being unable to cook, Chris Elite’s tag team partner. Adam Lucas turns around, and interacts with the waiter.)
Adam Lucas: I’d treat myself, but the ‘missus doesn’t want me eating red meat, so a Nicoise Salad looks good to me.
Waiter: Noted…
Andre Walker: Is that so? I’ll take a Xander Payne-sized steak. I don’t got anyone making decisions for me.
(Adam Lucas groans, and shakes his head.)
Chris Elite: Man fuck y’all I can’t read this damn French. You got some burgers or some shit?
Waiter: No, we don-
Chris Elite: Too bad, make me one. :ufdup:
(The waiter, obviously intimidated, writes it down.)
Waiter: Is that all?
Adam Lucas: Yeah, that’s all.
(Adam smiles at the waiter, before the camera pans to a long shot of the table.)
Adam Lucas: Enjoy the meal fellas.
(Chris sighs, as does Andre, whilst Adam Lucas is still grinning. Off camera, the meals would be delivered to their table. They would enjoy the meals, and they would leave. But that’s off camera, because following Adam telling the two to enjoy it, the camera slowly fades out back to the ringside area.)
(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST HAS A TWENTY MINUTE TIME-LIMIT AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR..ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘DESTINY’ by Saori Yoshida plays to a loud ovation from the crowd as ARIA makes her way down to the ring, high-fiving fans, but you can tell she knows the battle in store for her with Aurora.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! Hailing out of Chandler, Arizona, weighing in at 127 pounds…SHE IS THE SACRED DETECTIVE…ARIA!!
Eve: You can tell ARIA’s focused for her match with Aurora tonight, and she’s gotta be. While new to the landscape of EAW, this woman has shown herself to not be a cakewalk in the ring.
Deadprez: Yeah, and how embarrassing would it be to lose tonight? After all, ARIA has a match with Harper Lee coming up for the Specialists Championship.
Eve: The last thing you wanna do is have your momentum derailed before King of Elite.
(“Streets” (Instrumental) by Doja Cat is next to play as Aurora makes her way down to the ring with a flashy entrance, oozing cockiness as the white spotlight follows her.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! From New Orleans, Louisiana, weighing in at 160 pounds…SHE IS THE PERFECT STORM… AUUUURRROOORRRAAAAAAA MMMOONNNROOOOOOEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: YES! SHES PERFECT ALRIGHT! I LIKE ARIA, BUT HERES MY PICK TO WIN THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE!
Eve: While you’re choosing her for most likely the wrong reasons, you aren’t entirely off from saying she could walk out with the victory tonight, especially knowing she’s the bigger and stronger competitor.
Deadprez: Who should have no lack of motivation tonight, because if ARIA does manage to put an end to Harper’s reign at King of Elite, a win here would certainly put her in line for a title shot down the road.
(Aurora settles in the corner opposite to ARIA, carrying a smirk on her face as the referee signals for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: The bell has rung, and I look forward to see what these two women will do here, knowing that they can fully focus on their match, and not have to look over their shoulder, worrying that maybe Lucas Knight, or Harper Lee will interfere. ARIA starts off this match with a sign of respect, offering a handshake to Aurora, who opts to flex instead of accept it. And with that, they lock up in the center of the ring. Aurora shows off her power advantage early, backing ARIA up against the corner, rubbing her forearm across the face, showing absolutely no respect as the referee separates the two.
Deadprez: And you can see, Aurora’s confident as ever, just trash talking ARIA, who’s surprisingly keeping her cool in the corner before rushing out of it to lock up with Monroe again in the center of the ring. This time, Aurora puts that power to good use again with a collar-and-elbow facebuster. But she starts to trash talk some more instead of capitalizing, CAUSING ARIA TO SLAP HER RIGHT IN THE FACE!
Eve: That might’ve not been a smart decision on ARIA’s end as she gets whipped into the corner by Aurora, who catches ARIA on her shoulder as ARIA tried to go up and over. Aurora walks to the middle of the ring, allowing Aurora to slip out the back door, AND PULL LEGS OUT FROM UNDER MONROE, FORCING HER TO FACEPLANT ON THE MAT! ARIA crouches down next to Aurora, and simply smirks, but someone who didn’t find that too funny is Monroe, who stands herself back up.
Deadprez: Aurora quickly moves behind ARIA with a rear waistlock, BUT ARIA COUNTERS WITH A DROP TOE-HOLD! Aurora gets up to one knee, clutching at her nose, but this leaves her open for a kneeling enziguri after ARIA ran off the ropes, AND SHE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS! But the smart Aurora rolls out of the ring before ARIA could go for the cover!
Eve: ARIA steps out onto the apron, and runs off of it for a HURRICANRANA! ARIA rolls Aurora back into the ring, and hooks the leg for a cover!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOO-
Gavin Kirkland: Thank God! Aurora kicks out, and gets stood up by ARIA, who tries to whip her into the corner, but the godly Aurora Monroe stands her ground!
Eve: Yeah, and sends Aurora into the corner behind her instead. AURORA CHARGES IN, BUT ARIA MOVES OUT THE WHATEVER SHE HAD PLANNED THERE! Luckily, Monroe stopped herself short of hitting the top turnbuckle sternum first, and turns around to face ARIA, who starts to charge in, ONLY TO GET THROWN OVER THE HEAD OF AURORA WITH AN ALLEY OOP! ARIA CONNECTED FACE FIRST WITH THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Deadprez: Monroe starts to drive her shoulder into the gut of ARIA now, and just keeps it pressed against the abdomen on the final one, making sure all the wind is taken out of her sails, but she’s on the clock as the referee begins his count.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOU-
Deadprez: Aurora finally relents, and ARIA doubles over, dropping down to one knee. But Monroe shows no mercy, stomping the hand of ARIA that wasn’t covering her gut area, and biels her halfway across the ring! But while we’ve only known ARIA for a short time, it doesn’t seem like she’s one to stay down thus far as she pulls herself in the corner, slowly wandering out of it to get caught with a RUNNING BIG BOOT! Aurora hooks the leg on ARIA!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: Two count, which just goes to show how much ARIA got leveled there as Aurora pulls her up by the hair, again, that lack of respect shown. Monroe lifts ARIA for a suplex, but shows off a little with it, squatting as she does so before ultimately dropping her down. ARIA favors that back as she gets up to a kneel, Aurora shoves her head down, which brings ARIA to all fours, and she crawls over, resting her chin on the middle rope to create some possible separation, and buy herself some breathing room.
Deadprez: But Aurora is in hot pursuit, grabbing that handful of hair again in this match, and ragdolling ARIA to the center of the ring.
Gavin Kirkland: YES! AURORA’S BEEN DOMINATING, BUT SHE NEEDS TO COME OVER HERE AND DOMINATE ME! :mjlit:
Deadprez: This brotha starvin’.
Gavin Kirkland: CAN YOU BLAME ME?!
Deadprez: :Roman:
Eve: Anywho…in regards to Aurora Monroe, it seems as if she’s taking ARIA a bit lightly, and that’s something you can’t do, especially when this woman is number one contender for the Specialists Championship. She wasn’t given that spot, she earned it.
Gavin Kirkland: Loosely. After all, it was a ladder match, ARIA didn’t decisively beat anyone if you think about it.
Eve: Yeah, but she outlasted everyone in it, and proved that she’s gonna grow into an extremely talented performer inside that squared circle when it comes to the landscape of EAW, which is all so full of those. But back to the in ring action, Aurora watches as ARIA slowly starts to get back to her feet. But Monroe isn’t patient, and starts to lift her up, ONLY TO GET CAUGHT IN A SMALL PACKAGE! ARIA MIGHT’VE BAITED HER IN!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: Kickout by Monroe, who almost paid the price for her arrogance as both competitors scramble back to their feet. ARIA CHARGES AT AURORA, BUT GETS POPPED UP IN THE AIR FOR A SAMOAN DROP! And with a little more urgency, Aurora hooks both legs for the cover!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: These two are gonna have to do a lot more than that to put the other down as now ARIA rolls into the corner, and is on the receiving end of stomps as she slowly pulls herself up. But Aurora snapmares her outta the corner, and tacks on a rear chinlock, wearing down her opponent.
Deadprez: Aurora’s really wrenching on it, and doing a good job at stopping ARIA from building any momentum, but you had to know this would come to an end eventually as ARIA starts to feed off the fans energy, powering back to her feet, and deliver back elbows to the abdomen of Monroe, causing her grip to loosen.
Eve: One final elbow strike, and the grip of Aurora breaks as ARIA stumbles into the corner. Monroe seems irritated, AND CHARGES TOWARDS ARIA IN THE CORNER, BUT SHE MIGHT’VE GOTTEN BAITED AS ARIA POPPED OFF A DROP TOE-HOLD, AURORA GOING FACE FIRST IN THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! ARIA slips away, and stalks Aurora from the middle of the ring as Monroe slowly backs out of the corner, clutching at her mouth area.
Deadprez: Aurora turns around, and right into a step-up enziguri that puts her on wobbly legs! But Aurora soon regains some sense of balance, and barrels herself towards ARIA, who takes her down with a clothesline! Aurora’s quickly back to her feet, and gets taken down with ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE! Again, Aurora’s quickly back to her feet, and tries to floor ARIA with a clothesline of her own!
Eve: BUT ARIA DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT, AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! Aurora twirls off the impact, and goes down to all fours, slowly picking herself up using the ropes for assistance. BUT AURORA NOTICES ARIA RUNNING TOWARDS HER, AND TOSSES ARIA OVER HER SHOULDER! BUT ARIA CATCHES HERSELF ON THE APRON!
Gavin Kirkland: YES! AURORA TURNS AROUND WITH A WILD SWING- SHIT! ARIA DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT, AND COUNTERS WITH A HOTSHOT!
Deadprez: That stuns Aurora long enough for Aurora to take advantage with a SLINGSHOT DDT! AURORA GOT SPIKED ON HER HEAD, but some wherewithal is still there as Monroe rolls away from ARIA, and sits herself up in the corner, BUT SHE GETS LEFT OPEN FOR THE CANNONBALL FROM ARIA! Monroe gets dragged to the center of the ring, and ARIA hooks the leg! Could this be it?!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHH-
Eve: While an impressive flurry of offense from ARIA, Aurora remains in this thing, but ARIA gets back to her feet first, and watches as Aurora slowly tries getting to hers. But Monroe isn’t fully upright, and is doubled over, LEAVING HER OPEN FOR A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB FROM ARIA, WHICH SHE HOLDS FOR THE PIN!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THH-
Deadprez: ANOTHER KICKOUT! Back to back covers from ARIA, which will force Aurora Monroe to exert more energy for a kickout. But as of right now, ARIA realizes she must stay on Aurora, who’s she’s struggling to pick up from a prone position right now. Aurora’s about 160 pounds of deadweight..but ARIA finally pulls her up to one knee, HOWEVER, AURORA TURNS THE TABLES, DRIVING ARIA BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER WITH A SPEAR!
Eve: And now Aurora’s doing what she knew worked out earlier in corner shoulder thrusts to the abdominal area of ARIA. Aurora creates some space between the two before charging in for a corner spear, BUT ARIA MOVES OUT THE WAY! AURORA CRASHED SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST, ARIA WITH A SCHOOL GIRL ROLL-UP!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Gavin Kirkland: YES! AURORA ONCE AGAIN KICKS OUT, AND BOTH COMPETITORS ARE BACK TO THEIR FEET!
Deadprez: ARIA ATTEMPTS A SUPERKICK, BUT AURORA CATCHES THE BOOT, AND SPIN HER AROUND! CHOKESLAM! AURORA CAUGHT ARIA WITH A CHOKESLAM! But Aurora isn’t gonna go for the cover, instead, mounting ARIA with punches in bunches as she does her best to cover up! It seems like Aurora is DONE taking ARIA lightly, and amping up her aggression through frustration.
Eve: Aurora’s gonna look to end this now as she slowly pulls ARIA back to her feet. A powerbomb attempt on the way, BUT ARIA STARTS TO FIGHT OUT OF IT WITH PUNCHES TO THE HEAD OF AURORA!
Gavin Kirkland: ARIA’s gotta be more careful, that face doesn’t need reconstructing, it needs to be put on billboards!
Deadprez: Through her punches, ARIA manages to slip off the shoulders of Aurora, and starts to hammer her with forearm after forearm. ARIA runs off the ropes in front of Monroe, BUT GETS POPPED UP IN THE AIR FOR ANOTHER SAMOAN DROP! BUT ARIA LANDS ON AURORA WITH A GUILLOTINE CHOKE, WRAPPING HER LEGS AROUND THE WAIST, TRYING TO TAME THIS BIGGER WOMAN! Aurora starts to slowly make her way over to the ropes, having her hand outstretched.
Eve: But ARIA wrenches on that hold some more, and slowly starts to fade, winding up on wobbly legs, and finding herself stumbling right back to the center of the ring. Aurora goes down to one knee, and this might be it here. ARIA has crafted a brilliant strategy since being dominated early on by Aurora, who’s been overwhelming with her size and power.
Deadprez: Again, you can see ARIA wrenching more and more on that hold, trying to desperately put Aurora to sleep. …BUT MONROE POWERS BACK UP TO BOTH FEET, AND THROWS ARIA OFF OF HER! BUT LIKE A CAT, ARIA LANDS ON BOTH FEET, AND HITS THE ZIRICON CUTTER! COVER IS MADE!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEE-
Eve: NO! Aurora refuses to stay down, and ARIA starts her ascension to the top rope, waiting for Aurora to get back to her feet. BUT ONCE DOING SO, MONROE CHARGES ARIA WHILE SHES PERCHED ON THE TURNBUCKLE! BUT ARIA LEAPS OVER AURORA TO TUCK AND ROLL FOR A SAFE LANDING! AURORA TURNS AROUND, AND ITS HERE ARIA GOES FOR THE J4A! JUSTICE FOR ALL RUNNING KNEE!
Deadprez: BUT SHE SIDESTEPS IT LAST MINUTE, AND ARIA’S KNEE GOES CRASHING INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! ARIA HOLDS HER KNEE WHILE STUMBLING BACK INTO THE CLUTCHES OF AURORA FOR THE TEMPEST! PUMPHANDLE FACEBUSTER CONNECTS AS ARIA TRIED TO ROLL AWAY FROM MONROE AFTERWARDS, SHOWING SOME RING AWARENESS!
Eve: BUT AURORA CATCHES HER, AND MAKES THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE-
Eve: NO! ARIA GOT HER FREE FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE, AND AURORA POUNDS THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION BEFORE ARGUING WITH THE REFEREE! Aurora’s frustration has reached an all time high, but this isn’t gonna help her, she has to capitalize on ARIA!
Gavin Kirkland: Cmon, Aurora, you’ve got this match right in the bag!
Deadprez: Monroe drags ARIA in drop zone distance of the corner, and starts to climb up there herself. AURORA DIVES OFF WITH BOREALIS! …BUT ARIA GETS HER KNEES UP ON THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS, AND FOLLOWS UP WITH A SCHOOL BOY ROLL-UP!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: HERES YOUR WINNER..ARIA!!
(‘DESTINY’ by Saori Yoshida plays as ARIA quickly gets out of the ring, looking to avoid the rampage of an angry Aurora, who sits up, holding her rib cage in pain.)
Eve: What a match between these two women, and an impressive showing from Aurora Monroe, who practically dominated ARIA for most of this thing.
Deadprez: But in the end, ARIA proves why she’s the number one contender, finding a way to win.
Eve: And with that, she builds momentum for her match with Harper Lee at King of Elite!
Gavin Kirkland: Her ve Harpawg should be a good match, I’m just sad to see Aurora lose though. :will:
(The camera fades to a commercial break on a shot of ARIA celebrating up the ramp.)
(The camera cuts back after a commercial break to the ring area where fans are quick to boo after ‘Mo Money’ by Ben McLusky plays before an energetic Ronan comes out on the stage, showing off his tailored suit before waving out Dogs of War, who flank him on his walk to the ring.)
Eve: Well, this is shocking, I can’t say we were expecting Ronan Malosi tonight.
Deadprez: Yeah, and that can both be a good thing or a bad thing, because we never quite know what’s gonna come out this guy’s mouth next.
Gavin Kirkland: And while you classify that as a bad thing, I classify it as a great thing, because how many other elitists you know as unpredictable, or must see as Ronan Malosi? Not many.
Eve: Gavin, you’ve usually got some surprisingly high praise to give out in regards to him.
Gavin Kirkland: Of course, the guy gave me $100 dollars this week, how could I not? With this money, I might go do what he did, and win big at the casino! :blessed:
Deadprez: Hopefully you become rich enough to where you don’t need to do commentary anymore, and leave the table.
Eve: Agreed.
(‘Mo Money’ starts to fade out as Ronan Malosi gets a mic from a stagehand, and begins to address the crowd.)
Ronan Malosi: No, I’m not here to call somebody out, or to talk about our incompetent General Manager, Hurricane Hawk, leaving his star player off the card for King of Elite, one of the biggest Free-Per-View’s of the year. I’m here to talk about the two gentlemen standing behind me, Westin Scott, and Ashton Hale, Dogs of War.
(Dogs of War gesture Ronan to stop, and whisper something to him that the mic doesn’t quite pick up while pointing to the back, presumably urging Ronan to keep their matters private before he shrugs them off.)
Ronan Malosi: I’m sorry, did you guys say something, because it sounded to me like incompetence. The same incompetence that serves as the reason I’m not competing at King of Elite. Because Ashton, you just had to slide that chair into the ring, huh? YOU JUST HAD TO?! I had Adam Lucas beat, 1-2-3. I never needed your help! But then…THEN! What happens when you try to make it up to me the very next week against Theron Nikolas? You get your asses kicked, which isn’t anything new really, because even in my match with Cage at the Christmas Show, you got your asses kicked by ONE GUY. So much so, he ran you off to the back.
Ashton Hale: Ronan, look-
Ronan Malosi: No, no, no, I don’t care for excuses.
(The crowd boos louder as Ronan continues placing the blame on Dogs of War instead of himself, bringing out some minor annoyance on the faces of Ashton Hale and Westin Scott.)
Ronan Malosi: Ya see, boys, when I first hired you, I did so under the idea that this would be a good “business arrangement.” But instead, it’s been a big waste of time, and resources. I mean, I pay you guys $50,000 a week, yet you’re out here failing to stop one guy, costing me matches, and then just last week, having the audacity to get in my face, talking back to the guy who signs your checks, who gave you a life past hot dogs and handshakes? Let me explain something to you, ASHTON, WESTIN!
(Ronan gets in both their faces to make sure they fully know he’s talking to them before stepping away to deliver this line)
Ronan Malosi: There is one person, ONE PERSON standing in this ring right now that when leaves it would be ok, and that’s me, because I’m not the one who needs you. Without me, you guys wouldn’t have the fancy suits, the elaborate meals, you guys would merely just be nobodies. Nothing. So, let me just break this down in a way that I hope both of you peabrains can understand, because there’s only SO LONG I can put up with failure, and you guys are really testing my patience. From now on, you’re not gonna embarrass me, you’re not gonna cost me matches, in fact, you’re gonna be damn near unstoppable. Because from now on, I demand you two do SOMETHING! Do SOMETHING! Something to show that you two belong to stand by the side of greatness, something to show that my money isn’t wasted, something to show that you two aren’t nearly incompetent as I think you are. Do you understa-
(Westin Scott snatches the mic out of Ronan’s hand, which draws a small cheer out from the crowd, but puts a bewildered look on the face of Ronan at his mere audacity to do so.)
Westin Scott: Ya know, Ronan, I understand when people are angry, sometimes they say things they don’t mean, especially you saying that you don’t need us.
(Ronan forms a smirk on his face before grabbing Westin’s hand, and bringing the mic closer to his mouth.)
Ronan Malosi: Don’t get it misconstrued, Westin, I meant EVERYTHING I just said. You two are nothing more than-
(Westin snatches his hand free of Ronan’s clutches, and brings the mic back closer to his mouth.)
Westin Scott: I’m gonna cut you off right there, boss, because while you may have meant everything you said, I mean everything I’m about to say in that you’re nothing more than an ignorant jackass! I mean, do you just not comprehend that, without us, you wouldn’t have made it as far as you did against Cage? After all, what happened the minute we got chased to the back? You lost. And even in other matches you’re angry about losing, don’t forget, you would’ve lost way earlier without us there saving your ass 24/7. Because the only way Ronan Malosi succeeds is through cheating, taking shortcuts, because maybe what everyone else around here says about you is true in that you’re a talentless hack.
(Anger starts to build on Malosi’s face as the crowd starts to chant “you suck” before Ronan snatches the mic back outta Westin’s hand, calming himself down.)
Ronan Malosi: Ya know what, maybe I have been a bit of the jerk, disrespecting you guys when I shouldn’t, and for that, I’m- I’m sorry. Say, let’s just go back to the way things were.
(Dogs of War whisper to one another before Ronan brings the mic closer to Westin’s mouth.)
Westin Scott: Boss…we forgive you.
(Ronan folds his hands to say thank you before setting down the mic, and watching Ashton leave the ring as ‘Mo Money’ starts to play again, but as Westin goes to leave the ring himself…)
Eve: WHAT THE?! RONAN JUST PULLED WESTIN SCOTT BACK INTO THE RING, AND DECKED HIM WITH A RIGHT HAND!
(An incensed Ronan Malosi starts to take his suit jacket off before mounting Westin with punches.)
Deadprez: SOMETHING TELLS ME HE DIDNT TAKE THAT BACK TALK FROM SCOTT LIGHTLY AS HES JUST HAMMERING HIM WITH STRIKES!
Gavin Kirkland: SERVES THEM RIGHT FOR CALLING RONAN TALENTLESS!
Eve: YOUVE GOT TO BE KIDDING, ALL WESTIN DID WAS TELL RONAN SOMEWHAT OF THE TRUTH, AND NOW HES PAYING THE PRICE FOR IT AS RONAN EXITS THE RING, LOOKING FOR A CHAIR IN THE TIMEKEEPER’S AREA!
Deadprez: ALL WHILE ASHTON HALE HAS NO IDEA WHATS GOING ON AS HE HEADS UP THE RAMP!
Eve: THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GO FROM BAD TO WORSE FOR WESTIN AS RONAN FOUND THE CHAIR, AND SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING, RAISING IT TO HIT HIM!
Deadprez: BUT JUST IN THE NICK OF THE TIME, ASHTON FINALLY TAKES NOTICE OF WHAT’S GOING ON, AND SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING TO RESTRAIN RONAN, BACKING HIM UP AGAINST THE CORNER!
(Ashton goes to check on his downed partner before turning back to face Ronan-)
Eve: OOH! CHAIRSHOT TO THE HEAD TAKES DOWN ASHTON AS THIS VIOLENT SIDE OF RONAN, ONE THAT WE DONT SEE OFTEN STARTS TO SHOW ITSELF AGAIN, AND HE STARTS TO DRIVE THE TOP RAIL OF THAT CHAIR INTO THE GUT OF HALE, WHOS PRACTICALLY DEFENSELESS AT THIS POINT BEFORE PUSHING IT UP AGAINST HIS JAW!
Deadprez: RONAN NOTICES WESTIN GET UP TO ALL FOURS, AND DELIVERS REPEATED CHAIRSHOTS TO HIS BACK, AND NOW JUST GOING BACK-AND-FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO DOWNED DOGS OF WAR!
Eve: WESTIN GETTING CHAIRSHOTS TO THE BACK, AND ASHTON TO THE SIDE! BOTH ARE BARELY MOVING A MUSCLE ANYMORE AS RONAN IS ABSOLUTELY RELENTLESS WITH HIS STEEL CHAIR SHOTS, SHOWING NO MERCY!
(Malosi finally delivers the final blows to both men before discarding the chair, and picks up the mic he placed on the floor earlier.)
Ronan Malosi: As if the message wasn’t clear after that, you two are fired.
(Ronan drops the mic on a prone Westin, and starts his walk to the back as ‘Mo Money’ plays, the crowd showering him with boos as he puts his suit jacket back on. But the camera transitions to the back, showing that Hurricane Hawk was watching this all unfold on the TV in his office.)
(We cut to Hurricane Hawk’s office, and the man himself is sat behind his desk, looking over the contract he has drawn up, ensuring he hasn’t made any critical mistakes. Finally, he places the contract down, and clasps his hands on the desk, the camera panning out to reveal Cameron Ella Ava and Veena Adams sat a fair distance apart. Veena is looking at Cameron scornfully, whilst Cameron waits patiently, occasionally checking her nails.)
Hurricane Hawk: Thank you for your patience, I’m sure you both understand that I needed to ensure all was in order?
Veena Adams: Stipulations don’t matter, I’m everything this skank is and more.
Cameron Ella Ava: Except for classy obviously
Veena Adams: I have more class in my little figure… recognize my bloodline.
(Cameron chuckles.)
Cameron Ella Ava: Yeah, my family is kinda a big deal around here as well.
(Hawk interjects, not wanting this to get out of hand.)
Hurricane Hawk: I’m sure you will find that the contract ensures that this ‘thing’ between the two of you comes to a satisfactory conclusion, and we will be left in no doubt who the better woman was on the night.
Veena Adams: We know that already, it is obviously me.
Cameron Ella Ava: You can keep thinking that Veena, that is your prerogative. I cannot dispute that you will certainly be a challenge…
Veena Adams: A challenge that you won’t be able to overcome.
(Cameron says at the constant interruptions, pausing and rolling her eyes.)
Cameron Ella Ava: You really are an arrogant bitch, aren’t you?
Veena Adams: When you are this good, it’s difficult to dial it down…
Hurricane Hawk: Err, I don’t think this is helping.
(Veena puts up a single finger.)
Veena Adams: Hush you… the talent is talking. As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, I’m good at what I do, far superior to you, and I AM going to prove that at King of Elite, regardless of your thoughts and aspirations. Bitch, I’m just better than you, it’s that simple and next weekend I’m going to prove it.
Cameron Ella Ava: Is that so?
Veena Adams: Yes, it is. And there isn’t a damn thing any of the Ava’s would be able to do about it. The ‘Adams’ will always rule EAW, that ain’t ever gonna change. Certainly not because of you.
Hurricane Hawk: If we could get back to the matter of business?
Cameron Ella Ava: Go ahead Hawk, if you can get a word in edgeways.
(Hawk slides the contract over towards Cameron who spins it around and opens it, starting to go over it.)
Veena Adams: Need any help with the big words Cameron?
(Cameron doesn’t even react, and keeps reading, Veena laughing.)
Hurricane Hawk: As you can see it is all standard. Happy?
Cameron Ella Ava: Happy that I’m finally getting to kick her ass? For sure.
Hurricane Hawk: And the details?
Cameron Ella Ava: The details don’t matter Hawk. It wouldn’t matter what kind of match it was; I would still go to that ring and prove why I am a legend, and way above someone like her. This season I’ve been damn near unstoppable, and one day very soon, I’m going to become World Champion once again. Brick walls wouldn’t stop me from achieving my goals Hawk, so I’m damn sure Veena Adams isn’t capable. I’m one of the best in the business, a name known around the world, and what happens at King of Elite will only solidify that fact.
(She turns and looks at Veena.)
Cameron Ella Ava: And no amount of bravado is going to change my mind. You want me to acknowledge you Veena, then you have to beat me. You fail, and then all you are is another ego with a superiority complex. The Adams family trait.
(Veena slides the contract towards her and barely reads it, never taking her eyes off camera.)
Veena Adams: Disrespecting my family doesn’t mean shit Cameron, it’s like water off a ducks back. I’m Veena Adams dammit, and I’ve done just what you have, only I did it better.
Cameron Ella Ava: That’s debatable.
Veena Adams: That’s the thing, no it isn’t. Not in the slightest. For as long as I can remember I’ve been held back by people like you who have taken my spots. Well, that’s changing…
Cameron Ella Ava: What like your boyfriend Charlie?
Veena Adams: It’s changing Cameron, and you… you are just the starting point of my journey towards that Championship. The fact I get to humiliate you in front of your adoring ‘fans’ is simply a bonus.
(Veena picks up the pen, still not having a real care for the contract, she already had what she wanted.)
Veena Adams: And after King of Elite, you’re just going to have to get used to the fact that nowadays you are nothing more than an afterthought. A relic from a forgotten past. This is MY time Cameron, not yours. Period.
Hurricane Hawk: Yes, Yes… we all know what you feel about each other, can we just get the contract signed please and then we can set about finding out who will be rewarded for Dia Del Diablo.
(Veena scowls, pausing, the pen hovering over the contract. Cameron also looks a little confused, that confusing abating as Veena shrugs her shoulders and signs the contract. With the contract signed by her, she pushes it back towards Cameron who smirks, and signs it, pushing it back to Hawk.)
Hurricane Hawk: Good, it’s settled then.
Veena Adams: I cannot wait to rip every strand of hair from your little head
Cameron Ella Ava: Yeah, I’m going to enjoy watching you try as I tie you up in knots.
Veena Adams: You ain’t capable
Cameron Ella Ava: I’m more than capable bitch, and it’s going to be my pleasure to show you.
Veena Adams: Yeah?
(Cameron nods, Veena getting to her feet.)
Veena Adams: So why don’t we go now huh?
(Cameron jumps to her feet as well.)
Cameron Ella Ava: That eager for me to finish you Veena
Veena Adams: Eager to tear you limb from limb
(Hawk slams his hands on the desk, both women turning towards him.)
Hurricane Hawk: ENOUGH!!!
(Both women’s eyes widen.)
Hurricane Hawk: This is not happening… NOT TONIGHT.
(Cameron and Veena look back towards each other, neither backing down.)
Hurricane Hawk: That is the end of your business tonight, you both have the rest of the night off.
Veena Adams: But…
Hurricane Hawk: Get out of my sight. NOW.
(Cameron just grins and makes her way out the office.)
Cameron Ella Ava: See you soon Veena.
(Veena gives Hawk a dirty look, before heading out the office without saying a word. Hawk picks up the contract, looking more than a little pleased for himself, as the scene cuts elsewhere to ringside for the King of Elite Rewind…)
(Bella Braxton stands in the center of the ring with a microphone in her hand for the final time tonight.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
Bella Braxton: AND THIS IS THE FINALS OF THE KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT!!!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac hits, and as expected the crowd explodes in excitement. Before long, TLA’s lowrider appears at the stage, but TLA is not alone this time. This is one of his biggest opportunities yet, and with him is Steroid Dawg. TLA and Steroid Dawg make their way out of the lowrider, and Steroid Dawg stays at the stage to keep watch as TLA finally makes his way down the ramp and towards the ring. He has a smile on his face as he looks back at Steroid Dawg, but he doesn’t take long to get focused, knowing how big of a match is ahead of him.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first….. From Tlaxcala, Mexico…. Weighing in at 210 pounds…. TTTTTTT!!!!! LLLLLLLL!!!!! AAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Persephone: Wooo…. Voltage’s representative in the finals.. I guess.
Stew-O: Come on Persephone, where’s the enthusiasm? TLA is one of Voltage’s best Elitists, and there’s no doubt that he deserves his spot in the finals. He may not be on my brand, but I know for a fact that he has a huge chance of winning this match. TLA has been World Champion before and even retained it in an Extreme Elimination Chamber, if anyone knows how to reclaim that title and win a huge match like this it’s him!
Persephone: Well he isn’t Rex. How could I be excited?
Gavin Kirkland: It looks like Steroid Dawg is still at the stage, I wonder if she’s there because of what Xander did back on Voltage. It wouldn’t surprise me if she wants to get back at him.
Persephone: See? How am I supposed to be happy TLA is my brands representative when he’s doing stuff like this? Why is he letting Steroid Dawg stay, she’s just gonna get hurt again and it’ll be his fault.
Stew-O: Well, I have no comment on Steroid Dawg being here. As long as she doesn’t get involved she should be fine, right?
Gavin Kirkland: Maybe… Well, I’m looking forward to this match anyway. I’m sure this is going to be a great one.
(As TLA waits in the ring, ‘It Follows’ by Cane Hill hits and the crowd immediately descends into boos. Steroid Dawg and TLA both look at the ramp, but nobody enters. Instead, the camera cuts towards one of the crowd entrance areas, and security guards begins pouring in before finally Xander Payne makes his way out. Xander begins making his way down the steps as the fans around him boo as loud as they can, some fans even trying to put their hands on him in a failed attempt thanks to the security. As they reach the bottom of the steps Xander walks in front of the security and makes his way to ringside, keeping his eyes darted towards TLA. Steroid Dawg begins growling but stays put, and Xander finally makes his way up the steps, allowing Bella Braxton to speak.)
Bella Braxton: Making his way to the ring…. From Toronto, Ontario, Canada…. Weighing in at 263 pounds…. XXAAANNNNDDEERRRRR PPAAAAYYYYYYNNNNEEEE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I still feel like that’s about 400 pounds too light.
Persephone: Did he make his entrance through the crowd because of Steroid Dawg?
Stew-O: Anyways… Here is our Dynasty representative, Xander Payne! Xander has been on a roll this year so far, winning match after match and even defeating the World Heavyweight Champion, Lethal Consequences! With the form he’s been in, I can definitely see this being Xander’s night!
Persephone: I mean.. He can just crush them both. Sit on Kassidy and TLA at the same time, then what are they gonna do?
Gavin Kirkland: You know what? You’re right Persephone. I think we’re really on the same page here.
Persephone: I take it back then. I really don’t wanna agree eith you about anything.
Stew-O: Well Xander Payne and TLA are inside of the ring and I’m sure these two want to get their hands on each other, but there’s still one more Elitist left!
(With Xander and TLA settled in the ring, only one entrance is left. The lights inside of Raymond James Stadium dim, and the crowd quiets down. An unfamiliar theme song begins to play, ‘Coming Undone’ by Korn to be exact, and a ripple of excitement courses through the crowd. An unknown man walks onto the stage dressed in medical scrubs and a surgical mask. He turns to the side, so he can keep his eye on the entrance. A few seconds later, a second man walks out, almost dressed in medical scrubs and a surgical mask, but he doesn’t walk alone. He has someone by the arm and when the lights rise, it’s clear who this man is escorting onto the stage. Dressed in a stunning, silver Swarovski crystal studded version of her long pants ring gear is none other than Showdown’s King of Elite representative, Kassidy Heart. She is still locked into her mask, and her long, blonde hair has been pulled back into a tight, high ponytail.)
Bella Braxton: AND FINALLY… FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA… WEIGHING IN AT 138.5 POUNDS… SHE IS THE MAULER!!!
(The metal Hannibal Lecter style mask The Mauler wears sparkles under the light. She is lead down to the ring by the medical officials who have been chosen to escort her, and no one really knows what to make of what they’re seeing.)
Stew-O: Well this is an interesting turn of events. I certainly didn’t expect The Mauler to show up in Kassidy Heart’s place tonight. We have seen glimpses of The Mauler before, and we know what she’s capable of, but I don’t think we have ever seen how The Mauler is able to handle an entire wrestling match.
Gavin Kirkland: Should I be turned on right now? My dick is kind of hard.
Persephone: I mean, it’s not like she could do anything with your dick. She’s wearing that creepy fucking mask.
(The commentators continue to banter as Kassidy is stopped in front of the ring. Her escort continues to hold onto her arm, as the first man that walked onto the stage steps around her and pulls a key out of his pocket. He pushes Kassidy’s ponytail to the side and sets out, unlocking her mask and removing it from her face. The camera cuts to a close up Kassidy’s face, as she is freed from her own personal prison. Her face is red, obviously chafed from the metal biting into her skin for the last few days. Having been deprived the last few days has clearly taken its toll on Kassidy, and that likely explains why The Mauler has made her way to the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe: I don’t know what to think right and judging from the looks on TLA and Xander’s faces, they don’t either.
(Kassidy is finally let go and she by the staff who accompanied her down the ramp to get into the ring. She does as she is told and steps between the ropes, working her jaw and trying to get some of the feeling back into her face. It feels different to have a metal mask removed after days of being locked in, and The Mauler looks at her two opponents, and she’s unable to help herself. She licks her lips and signals that she is ready to go.)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And the King of Elite finals are underway! Xander Payne, the Mauler and TLA! This is what we’ve been building to for the past month, and finally these three have the chance to capture what they’ve been looking for all along-
Stew-O: THE MAULER IMMEDIATELY CHARGES AT TLA AND TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! JUST LIKE THAT THIS MATCH IS KICKED OFF AS THE MAULER IS ALL OVER TLA! TLA WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THAT DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN, BUT HE’S TRYING TO DEFEND HIMSELF NOW AS HE ATTEMPTS TO HIT HER WITH PUNCHES OF HER OWN!
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER PAYNE GRABS THE MAULER BY THE HEAD AND DRAGS HER OFF OF TLA DOWN TO THE MAT! Kassidy doesn’t waste any time getting back up though, AND NOW HER AND XANDER CHARGE AFTER EACH OTHER AND IMMEDIATELY BEGIN FIGHTING AWAY! TLA is given the chance to get back to his feet as Xander and Kassidy are fighting, AND XANDER HITS THE MAULER WITH A HUGE KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION! XANDER NOW POUNDING AWAY ON HER BACK, XANDER IS ALL OVER KASSIDY RIGHT NOW! I never thought I’d be jealous of Xander Payne of all people.
Stew-O: WAIT, XANDER THROWS THE MAULER INTO THE ROPES!! LAST SEDATION!!
Gavin Kirkland: JUMPING KNEE BY THE MAULER!! AS XANDER POPPED HER UP SHE HIT HIM WITH A KNEE TO THE FACE, AND NOW SHE RUNS THE ROPES, BEFORE DELIVERING A MASSIVE SPEAR TO THE MASSIVE XANDER PAYNE! Just like that Xander Payne may be out of the equation for the time being!
Persephone: Angrier Kassidy just got back to her feet following the spear, but TLA just charged back after her and now he’s looking to take her down as he just begins pummeling her with lefts and rights. What, are Xander and TLA working together now?
Stew-O: I don’t know if I’d see this as working together, after all I don’t think TLA had much of a choice after the Mauler started off this match charging into him! TLA sending Kassidy into the ropes, AND HE GOES FOR A BIG BOOT BUT THE MAULER AVOIDS IT, JUST FOR TLA TO CATCH HER WITH A SPINNING BACK ELBOW INSTEAD! The Mauler drops down to a knee, and TLA immediately sends her into the corner before charging in, AND DELIVERING A HUGE SPEAR IN THE CORNER! TLA now sending the Mauler away from the corner, and he climbs up to the middle rope!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA WITH A DIVING HURRICANRANA OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE! The Mauler was just sent rolling out of the ring, but TLA isn’t even giving her a chance to breathe right now as he immediately begins running the ropes! SUICIDE DIVE BY VOLTAGE’S KING OF ELITE FINALIST! FINALLY KASSIDY IS OFF HER FEET, AND NOW TLA CLIMBS UP TO THE APRON! I’m not exactly sure what he’s looking for right now, knowing him it could be anything! WAIT, DIVING MOONSAULT BY TLA!!! TLA JUST DOVE OFF THE APRON AND HIT KASSIDY WITH THE MOONSAULT!
Persephone: TLA slides back into the ring- OVERDOSE!!! XANDER PAYNE JUST WIPED OUT TLA WITH THE DISCUS PALM STRIKE AS SOON AS HE GETS BACK INTO THE RING! YES THE TOURNAMENT IS ALREADY ABOUT TO END! I CAN GO HOME!!! XANDER PAYNE WITH THE COVER ON TLA TO END THE MATCH!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO-
Persephone: Or not…. TLA just managed to get the shoulder up somehow. I’m just saying, if Rexy hit that move TLA would’ve been done for. That’s why he should’ve been in the finals and this entire tournament was pointless once he was screwed over.
Stew-O: Xander Payne immediately walks over to the corner, and he’s removing the turnbuckle padding! This is a triple threat so that means no disqualifications, but I really don’t like where this is going! With those paddings removed all that’s left is pure steel where the top turnbuckle is! Oh no, Xander isn’t even stopping at just one! From the looks of it he’s removing all four of the top turnbuckles’ paddings, and now finally he goes and picks TLA up before dragging him towards one of the corners! TLA really needs to do something or this might get nasty!
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER SMASHES TLA’S FACE INTO THE EXPOSED TOP TURNBUCKLE! TLA stumbles out of the corner, but Xander immediately grabs onto his arm BEFORE SENDING HIM BACK FIRST INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! XANDER NOW BEGINNING TO KICK AT TLA’S MIDSECTION WHILE HE’S IN THE CORNER, AND RIGHT NOW HE’S JUST STOMPING AWAY AT LA PANTERA SEXUAL! TLA IS STUCK IN THE CORNER IN A SEATED POSITION AS XANDER CONTINUES THESE STOMPS, NOW DIRECTING THEM TO THE SIDE OF TLA’S HEAD! Xander now quickly making his way over to the opposite corner before charging in, AND HE DELIVERS A HUGE CANNONBALL TO TLA! INTO THE FIRE CONNECTS BY XANDER PAYNE, BUT HE’S NOT DONE THERE! XANDER BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES AS TLA’S STILL IN THE CORNER! HEAT SEEKER!!!
Persephone: EDGIER KASSIDY SLIDES INTO THE RING AND DROPS XANDER WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! KASSIDY BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES, AND SHE CONNECTS WITH A SHINING WIZARD ON THE “PAYNEKILLER”… Which honestly is probably the dumbest nickname I’ve ever heard. Either Xander doesn’t know what a painkiller is or he’s not doing his job correctly, but that’s besides the point. Kassidy is on top of Xander and she’s now hitting him with elbows to the forehead. Xander’s had a cut at his eyebrow that he only made worse throughout the week like an idiot, and it looks like she’s targeting that right now.
Stew-O: AND JUST LIKE THAT BLOOD HAS BEEN DRAWN! THE MAULER’S MANAGED TO RE-OPEN THE CUT XANDER HAD BEFORE THAT PERSEPHONE JUST MENTIONED, BUT KASSIDY DOESN’T STOP WITH THESE ELBOWS! IT LOOKS LIKE SHE’S TRYING TO MAKE THE WOUND EVEN WORSE, AND IF SHE KEEPS THIS UP SHE’S GOING TO ACCOMPLISH JUST THAT! XANDER IS DEFINITELY IN A LOT OF TROUBLE HERE AS KASSIDY DELIVERS ELBOW AFTER ELBOW-
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER CATCHES KASSIDY WITH A HUGE RIGHT HAND! Xander just punched the Mauler in the side of her head, and that finally takes her off of the pig! Both Elitists back to their feet, AND XANDER HITS THE MAULER WITH A HEADBUTT! Kassidy down to a knee as Xander goes to capitalize, BUT SHE IMMEDIATELY BEGINS FIGHTING BACK AS SHE BEGINS HITTING XANDER WITH A SERIES OF PUNCHES! LEFTS AND RIGHTS BEING THROWN BY THE MAULER, AND XANDER IS BEING BACKED UP INTO THE CORNER NOW! KASSIDY NOW PUNCHING AWAY AT XANDER WHILE HE’S STUCK IN THE CORNER, AND NOW SHE’S GOING FOR FOREARMS AND ELBOWS, ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO TARGET THAT NOW OPENED WOUND!
Stew-O: XANDER POPS KASSIDY UP, BUT THE MAULER MANAGES TO HOLD ONTO THE TOP ROPES! SHE BEGINS BRINGING DOWN FISTS RIGHT ONTO XANDER’S HEAD, AND THAT ALLOWS HER TO CLIMB ONTO THE TOP ROPE OUT OF XANDER’S GRASP! Xander turns towards the Mauler, AND HE’S MET WITH A KICK TO THE FACE! It’s been well established by now that the Mauler is a somehow even more dangerous version of Kassidy Heart, almost as if she’s a different person entirely! Right now, Xander’s seeing that for himself as the Mauler gets into position up top-
Persephone: WHAT!? XANDER WEIGHS LIKE 500 POUNDS, HOW DID HE MOVE THAT FAST!? He just rushed back into the corner and pushes Kassidy’s legs out from under her! Xander is climbing up to the middle rope and he’s punching away at Kassidy to keep her in place, but wow. I’m honestly shocked, how did that happen? Are we sure that these three were tested before the match? Kassidy never enters matches in this stupid Mauler persona, and Xander Payne never runs that fast without food being involved.
Gavin Kirkland: Xander Payne is hitting the Mauler with punch after punch to make sure she’s not able to fight back, and now he gets her in a front facelock! I feel like I know what’s coming, and a superplex this early on can’t be good for Kassidy, regardless of how she entered the match! The Mauler is punching Xander at the side of his gigantic stomach, but that just causes Xander to temporarily release the front facelock and headbutt her! TLA is slowly beginning to stir after receiving that cannonball earlier, meanwhile Xander is finally beginning to lift Kassidy up- WAIT!! WAIT A MINUTE, THAT WASN’T A SUPERPLEX! OH MY GOD!!
Stew-O: XANDER PAYNE JUST DROPPED THE MAULER HEAD FIRST ONTO THE EXPOSED TOO TURNBUCKLE!! TURNBUCKLE BRAINBUSTER BY XANDER PAYNE, AND THAT HAS TO TAKE THE MAULER OUT FOR THE TIME BEING! THERE’S NO WAY SHE SHOULD BE GOOD AFTER THAT!!! The Mauler fell back out of the ring following that huge brainbuster, and now it looks like Xander is making his way out of the ring to go get her. I don’t blame Xander for setting his sights to Kassidy, there’s no way she should be able to continue after that! Oh God… Xander grabs the Mauler and lifts her up into a powerbomb position, XANDER GOING FOR A POWERBOMB ONTO THE APRON-
Gavin Kirkland: TLA WITH A DIVING CROSSBODY!!! TLA JUST TOOK OUT ALL OF THE COMPETITORS IN THIS MATCH WITH THAT DIVING CROSSBODY!!! What a move by TLA, who’s quickly able to get back to his feet! TLA is clearly the biggest fan favorite in the match hearing the crowd cheer for him like this, and this might just be his best chance to win this match as he picks up Xander, BEFORE SENDING HIM INTO THE RINGPOST! Steroid Dawg is still around up by the stage, and she’s definitely gotta be happy to see this!
Persephone: Oh right… Because Xander kicked TLA’s stupid dog a few weeks ago! I don’t know why that dumb animal is still mad at Xander. Maybe if TLA stopped bringing his pets to work she wouldn’t have to get kicked in the stomach. Anyways, TLA now picks Xander up once again, AND HE SENDS XANDER CRASHING INTO THE BARRICADE! Wow. I definitely underestimated the strength of that barricade, that was like an entire train crashing into it and somehow it didn’t break!
Stew-O: TLA now grabs the Mauler, and he sends her back into the ring! She’s somehow slowly starting to get back up, but after that brainbuster into the exposed turnbuckle she’s clearly disoriented, and it looks like blood is starting to come from her head as the top of her hair is slowly starting to turn red! The Mauler is on spaghetti legs right now as TLA makes his way to the top rope, AND HE TAKES HER BACK DOWN WITH A HUGE DIVING DROPKICK! TLA not going for the cover yet, as it looks like the Mauler has managed to pull herself onto the middle rope! That’s definitely not where she wants to be, not when she’s facing TLA!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES, AND HE GOES FOR THE 305-WAIT NO! THE MAULER MANAGES TO PUSH TLA’S FEET AWAY BEFORE IT COULD CONNECT, CAUSING TLA TO FALL BACK ONTO THE APRON! Kassidy gets back up to her feet to try and capitalize- BUT TLA JUMPS UP AND HITS HER WITH A ROPE ASSISTED ENZUIGIRI! TLA JUMPING BACK INTO THE RING LOOKING FOR A SPRINGBOARD MOVE, BUT KASSIDY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! TLA ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET AND CHARGES TOWARDS KASSIDY THOUGH! BICYCLE KICK BY TLA!!
Persephone: KASSIDY AVOIDS THE BICYCLE KICK, AND INSTEAD DROPS TLA FACE FIRST ONTO THE MAT BY SWEEPING HIS LEG! The Mauler running the ropes as TLA starts to get up into a seated position, AND SHE HITS TLA WITH A PENALTY KICK!! Can we just point out that TLA should not be here? Ms. Extreme was screwed over, Myles was screwed over, Minerva was screwed over, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY REX WAS SCREWED OVER! Barely anyone on the Voltage bracket lost fairly, now we’re stuck with this loser representing us.
Stew-O: TLA slowly getting back up, AND NOW THE MAULER BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES!!! PAINFULLY EVER AFTER- NO! IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!! TLA GETS OUT OF THE WAY, AND NOW HE GRABS THE MAULER FROM BEHIND, BEFORE DELIVERING A GERMAN SUPLEX!!! TLA doesn’t look like he’s stopping there though! He’s making his way back to his feet and he still has Kassidy! A SECOND GERMAN SUPLEX BY TLA! THIS IS WHAT WE USUALLY SEE FROM KASSIDY, IT’S WHAT SHE CALLS THE KASSPLODER PLEX!! TLA MAKING HIS WAY BACK UP ONCE MORE, AND NOW HE GOES FOR A THIRD GERMAN SUPLEX-
Gavin Kirkland: THE MAULER HITS TLA WITH A BACK ELBOW THIS TIME, KNOCKING HIM OFF OF HER! THE MAULER QUICKLY GOES BEHIND TLA AND GRABS HIM BEFORE BACKING UP TOWARDS THE CORNER! GERMAN SUPLEX- NO!!
Stew-O: THE MAULER ATTEMPTED TO SEND TLA INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX, BUT TLA MANAGED TO GRAB ONTO THE ROPES TO STOP HIMSELF FROM BEING LIFTED UP! WHAT A SMART MOVE BY TLA!! TLA NOW TOSSING THE MAULER AWAY FROM HIM WITH A HIP TOSS, AND NOW HE CLIMBS UP TO THE MIDDLE ROPE AS SHE STARTS TO GET BACK TO HER FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: AND THERE’S A DIVING VERSION OF THE VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT BY TLA!! THE MAULER IS DOWN, AND NOW TLA GOES FOR THE COVER ON HER! OH NO, THIS MIGHT JUST BE IT! THIS COULD END THE MATCH, TLA IS GOING TO WIN THE ENTIRE KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT!
OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTT-
Gavin Kirkland: THE MAULER GETS HER SHOULDER UP!! I was wrong to ever doubt her, of course she’s still in this match! It’d take a lot more than that to put Kassidy away in her normal state, I’d imagine it’ll take even more for the Mauler to be defeated tonight!
Persephone: Luckily for me, it looks like TLA realized that. The sooner this match ends the better, and right now TLA is looking up at the top rope before getting back to his feet, so I think he’s about ready to put this one away. Don’t get me wrong, TLA is awful in basically every way possible. He’s never been good in any way, but right now he’s making the smartest decision as he’s actually trying to end the match. TLA is heading towards the top rope, and this one may be over if he goes for what I think he is-
(*CRACK!*)
Stew-O: XANDER PAYNE JUST SMASHED A STEEL CHAIR OVER TLA’S HEAD AS SOON AS HE WAS STEPPING OUT ONTO THE APRON! TLA IMMEDIATELY FALLS BACK INTO THE RING, AND HE HAS TO BE UNCONSCIOUS RIGHT NOW! THERE’S NO WAY TLA ISN’T UNCONSCIOUS!! That steel chair was smashed right into his head, TLA couldn’t have expected that at all either! Xander sliding into the ring with the first weapon of the match, AND HE BEGINS UNLOADING ON BOTH COMPETITORS! XANDER HITTING BOTH THE MAULER AND TLA WITH THAT STEEL CHAIR, AT THIS RATE NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO STOP HIM!
Gavin Kirkland: Xander Payne is looking up at the ramp, and I think he noticed Steroid Dawg watching the match! I don’t like the smile Xander has on his face!
Persephone: Is he getting hungry? Someone should get that dog out of here… Probably TLA and Kassidy too. Just look at that gut, there’s no way he hasn’t eaten a person before.
Stew-O: SLEEPY HOLLOWS!!!! XANDER PAYNE JUST LOCKED IN THE SLEEPY HOLLOWS ON TLA, BUT HE MADE SURE TO LOCK IT IN FACING THE RAMP SO STEROID DAWG IS FORCED TO WATCH!! AFTER RECEIVING THAT CHAIR SHOT STRAIGHT TO THE HEAD, THERE’S NO WAY TLA SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THIS ONE, I DON’T EVEN THINK HE’LL BE ABLE TO LAST TOO LONG IN THIS SUBMISSION!
Persephone: Wow. Forcing TLA’s dog to watch is cruel I guess. I don’t know why that thing is even out here, is there no rules against animals appearing during matches? I’m pretty sure we had an issue because of that thing this same exact show a year ago. Anyways Xander’s laughing at that dog’s pain as TLA is slowly beginning to fade.
Stew-O: TLA is struggling in the submission, and he’s trying to fight out of it but just remember that he was hit with that steel chair in the head only moments ago! This could be the end of the match, Kassidy is only just beginning to stir now after Xander’s assault with that steel chair-
(Suddenly Xander releases the submission and tries to quickly get back to his feet as the crowd explodes.)
Stew-O: STEROID DAWG HAD ENOUGH!!! STEROID DAWG JUST RAN TO THE RING AND HOPPED ONTO THE APRON!! STEROID DAWG IS IN THE RING AND JUST BIT INTO XANDER’S LEG!! XANDER DROPS BACK DOWN TO THE MAT, AND NOW STEROID DAWG IS TRYING TO BITE HIM AGAIN! STEROID DAWG’S ALL OVER XANDER PAYNE, SHE’S FINALLY GETTING REVENGE AFTER WHAT XANDER DID TO HER!
Persephone: HAHAHAHAHAA!!!! XANDER JUST TRIED PUSHING STEROID DAWG OFF OF HIM AND SHE JUST BIT INTO HIS ARM!!! Hopefully she bites his entire arm off, that should remove a good two hundred pounds!
Gavin Kirkland: I can’t say Xander doesn’t deserve this :wow:. After kicking Steroid Dawg weeks ago and not taunting her with that submission, this is exactly what Xander deserves! Xander clearly didn’t expect Steroid Dawg to actually get involved in this match, but just like Persephone said earlier this isn’t the first time something like this happened! This isn’t good for Xander at all especially when he potentially had the match won, but at the end of the day he did this all to himself!
Persephone: Xander just tried getting Steroid Dawg off of him and this time she bit his hand! It’s not so often you see something trying to eat Xander, usually it’s the other way around.
Stew-O: Xander has rolled out of the ring, but Steroid Dawg has followed Xander! Xander is trying to kick at Steroid Dawg to get her away from him, but he’s still feeling the effects of that bite to the leg! Xander is in a lot of trouble right now, all because of his own actions! Xander’s being mauled by Steroid Dawg, and the crowd is going wild!
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t know if I’ve ever seen Steroid Dawg THIS mad at anyone! She’s viciously attacking Xander Payne right now, and if things keep going like this Xander might as well be taken out of the match!
Persephone: Wow, imagine that. Being taken out of the match not because of any of the competitors, but because of a dog.
Stew-O: We may not have to imagine that if this continues! Xander is still trying to fight off Steroid Dawg, but he can only keep this up for so long!
(As Xander continues trying to fight back against Steroid Dawg, multiple officials run down the ramp. The crowd begins booing as they wanted to see Steroid Dawg continue attacking Xander, but of course for his safety the officials couldn’t allow that.)
Persephone: Aww, they’re ruining the fun.
Stew-O: One of the officials just picked up Steroid Dawg, and it looks like Xander may be safe for now but just look at what she did to him! Xander’s hand and his arm are bloody and have bite marks all over them, and his leg must be the same way under his clothes! Xander watching the officials take Steroid Dawg away before slowly making his way back onto the apron-
Gavin Kirkland: THE MAULER WITH A SPEAR THROUGH THE ROPES!!! THE MAULER JUST SENT XANDER AND HERSELF OFF THE APRON AND DOWN TO RINGSIDE AFTER SUCH AN INCREDIBLE SPEAR THROUGH THE ROPES!!! All that time Xander spent getting attacked by Steroid Dawg the Mauler was able to recover, and just like that she’s back on the offensive!
Persephone: Why are the ones one bad fall away from death always the least careful? Why is she going for moves like that? If she landed badly she would’ve been done for. Just like that her King of Elite run would’ve been over, and honestly I wish that happened now. It would’ve been hilarious. Anyways TLA is slowly rolling outside of the ring as Kassidy starts to get back up, and I wonder if he even noticed what just happened with Steroid Dawg.
Stew-O: TLA BROUGHT THE STEEL CHAIR WITH HIM, AND HE HITS THE MAULER IN THE BACK WITH THE CHAIR!! The Mauler stumbles around the ring, AND TLA HITS HER WITH ANOTHER CHAIR SHOT, THIS TIME DROPPING HER TO THE GROUND! She doesn’t stay on the ground for long as she uses the steel steps to get back up, AND TLA GOES FOR ANOTHER CHAIR SHOT BUT THIS TIME THE MAULER GETS OUT OF THE WAY, CAUSING THE CHAIR TO HIT THE STEPS! THE MAULER GRABBING THE TOP HALF OF THE STEPS, AND SHE SENDS IT RIGHT INTO TLA’S MIDSECTION!
Gavin Kirkland: The Mauler grabbing TLA, AND SHE SENDS HIM CRASHING INTO THE OPPOSITE PAIR OF STEEL STEPS!!! TLA IS DOWN, XANDER PAYNE IS DOWN!! This is the Mauler’s best opportunity to win this match, or at least make an attempt to! Oh, wait a minute! She’s looking over her! Oh my God! She’s walking over here! She’s getting closer, I bet it’s because of me! Kassidy’s clearly fallen for me, and I don’t blame her. Any woman would be lucky to have someone like me-
Persephone: Wow, you’re annoying as hell. Kassidy’s taking apart our table, and I’m pretty sure everyone here knows what that means. Someone’s about to go through this very soon, and if I had to guess it’s going to be TLA.
Stew-O: Well TLA is definitely who the Mauler is looking for! The Mauler grabbing TLA and picking her up before dragging him towards our table, BUT TLA HITS HER WITH A FOREARM! WAIT, THE MAULER WITH A FOREARM OF HER OWN! NOW TLA WITH A FOREARM! THE MAULER AND TLA ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH TRYING TO GET THE BETTER OF ONE ANOTHER, AND THIS COULD END VERY BADLY FOR ONE OF THESE TWO ELITISTS!
Gavin Kirkland: SWAG SHOT!!! TLA HITS THE SWAG SHOT, AND HE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH THE VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT! TLA GETTING THE BETTER OF THE MAULER, AS HE SLAMS HER FACE INTO OUR TABLE! TLA pushes her up onto our table, and now where is he going!? TLA should definitely rethink this, that man is going to cost himself the match! TLA is climbing onto the apron, and now he’s headed all the way up to the top rope! The Mauler is starting to stir as she slowly sits up on the commentary table… And if I look close enough I-
Persephone: How do you still have a job?
Gavin Kirkland: What do you mean? Everyone loves me, that’s why. :montez:
Stew-O: GUYS, YOU MIGHT WANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE MATCH!!! THE MAULER JUST REALIZED WHAT’S GOING ON, BUT IT’S TOO LATE!! TLA DIVES FROM THE TOP ROPE ON TOP OF HER WITH A HUGE METEORA THROUGH OUR TABLE!!!! TLA AND KASSIDY HEART BOTH WENT THROUGH OUR TABLE JUST NOW! THAT’S IT, THAT’S GOTTA BE IT FOR THE MAULER! THERE’S NO WAY SHE COULD COME BACK FROM THAT, SHE WAS JUST SENT THROUGH OUR COMMENTARY TABLE WITH A HUGE METEORA FROM THE TOP ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: Not Kassidy. :mjcry: Why couldn’t it be Xander? :mjcry:
Persephone: Just be glad TLA dove onto her instead of him. If Xander jumped that high this entire arena would come crashing down. Anyways Kassidy is probably done for, and honestly I’m impressed. That’s like the first time this entire match TLA has made himself useful and it might actually get him the win. TLA is usually utterly useless, but he might actually win the King of Elite tournament!….. Yuck. Yuck yuck yuck, why TLA??? Why couldn’t it be Rexy-
Stew-O: OH MY GOD!!! XANDER PAYNE JUST GRABBED TLA AND SENT HIM BACK FIRST INTO THE RING APRON! Xander Payne just came out of nowhere, I thought he was down for the count after receiving the spear to ringside by the Mauler, but finally he’s made his way back into this match! TLA definitely had this match won, all he had to do was bring the Mauler back into the ring but Xander just ruined that with this attack! WAIT A MINUTE, XANDER POPS TLA UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND HE HAS HIM IN A POWERBOMB, PLEASE DON’T TELL ME HE’S GONNA DO THIS! NO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: LAST SEDATION ONTO THE APRON!!! XANDER JUST HIT TLA WITH THE POP UP POWERBOMB ONTO THE RING APRON, AND NOW HE ROLLS TLA BACK INTO THE RING! XANDER PAYNE IS GOING TO WIN THIS MATCH!!! XANDER SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING, AND NOW HE GOES FOR THE COVER ON TLA! THAT’S IT, JUST RING THE BELL NOW! THERE’S NO WAY THIS MATCH CONTINUES!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT!?!?!? HOW!?!?!? HOW DID HE..?? TLA JUST GOT HIS SHOULDER UP!!! TLA IS STILL IN THIS MATCH, HE JUST GOT HIS SHOULDER UP! XANDER CAN’T BELIEVE HIS EYES- BUT HE IMMEDIATELY GETS UP AND JUMPS ONTO TLA WITH A SENTON! ANOTHER COVER BY XANDER, AND THIS ONE HAS TO BE OVER NOW! SURELY THAT FIRST KICKOUT WAS JUST BY LUCK!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Persephone: Alright.. Now this is getting ridiculous. How did TLA kick out, Xander just hit him with a senton! His organs should be jelly by now! This is why they should have been tested or something. There’s no way TLA isn’t on some kinda drug. There’s only one person in this company that should’ve been able to kick out of that, and that’s Rex!
Stew-O: Xander Payne is getting more and more frustrated as he holds the arm Steroid Dawg bit, and now I think he’s turned his attention to the other competitor in this match! The Mauler is still out here after being put through our table, and I think Xander realized that if he’s going to finish this match he might need to try putting her away! TLA somehow still has life in him, but surely that can’t be the case with her, right? There’s no way she has anything left in her after being through the commentary table. Xander rolling out of the ring, and it looks like this match is about to come to an end as he pulls the Mauler back to her feet-
Gavin Kirkland: WITH A BURST OF ENERGY, THE MAULER JUST TOOK OFF AND RAMMED XANDER PAYNE INTO THE RING APRON! BOTH ELITISTS DROP DOWN TO THE GROUND AFTER THAT, BUT WOW! The fact that the Mauler is even fighting still is insane, and the same goes for TLA! I guess I can understand why they’re doing this though. They’re not willing to give up this opportunity. They’ve been working for this for so long, they can’t let it end like this.
Persephone: You guys seriously overrate willpower. Am I really supposed to believe these guys are surviving life threatening moves and getting back up just because they wanna win a wrestling match and some World Championship that SHOULD belong to Rex? This isn’t about willpower, these three just aren’t normal. Nobody in this company is which is why matches last so long.
Stew-O: The Mauler is pulling herself back up, BUT XANDER IS UP FIRST AND HE GOES FOR A HUGE BOOT TO THE MAULER- BUT SHE GETS OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE PUSHING XANDER INTO THE RINGPOST! Xander is pulling himself over towards the corner of the barricade near the timekeepers area, meanwhile the Mauler looks like she’s finally recovering from that table break! She’s waiting for Xander to get back to his feet, and this can’t be good!
Persephone: He really needs to just stay down, this is not gonna end well.
Stew-O: I have to agree with you Persephone, just by the look on the Mauler’s eyes I can tell she’s about to do something big, and Xander hasn’t even noticed as he’s using the barricade to get back up! THE MAULER CHARGES AT XANDER!! :krabs:
Gavin Kirkland: THE MAULER JUST SPEARED XANDER THROUGH THE BARRICADE!!! BOTH KASSIDY AND XANDER JUST WENT THROUGH THE BARRICADE!!!
Persephone: Great… They’re just destroying the entire arena, huh? What’s next? Are they gonna destroy the entire ring?
Stew-O: It feels like we’ve said this a lot tonight, but that’s it for them, right? There’s no way Xander Payne is getting up from that, and honestly I’m worried for the Mauler’s health too! She just went through a commentary table, how much can she survive? Somehow she’s slowly finding her way out from the mess she just created with the barricade, and she’s making her way towards the ring as she noticed TLA beginning to stir! I don’t know if this is smart, she’s gotta be hurt after that, even if she was the one delivering the move!
Gavin Kirkland: The Mauler rolls back into the ring- BUT TLA IMMEDIATELY JUMPS ONTO HER WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!! TLA SAW HER COMING AND MADE SURE SHE COULDN’T ATTACK FIRST, JUMPING ONTO HER WITH THAT DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! TLA DROPPING AFTER THAT DOUBLE FOOT STOMP, BUT HE FALLS RIGHT ON TOP OF KASSIDY! TLA WITH THE COVER, AND IN THE STATE THE MAULER IS IN THIS MIGHT BE IT!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTHHHH-
Persephone: And Kassidy gets the shoulder up. Wooo…
Stew-O: TLA is still exhausted after what Xander put him through a while ago, and because of that nobody in this match is on their feet! TLA is down, Xander is down, Kassidy is down! This match has taken so much out of these three, and at this rate there’s still a lot more to go as nobody can finish this one off!
Persephone: Great! So can the referee do that ten count thing and call the match so I can leave? Hopefully Rex is still here!
Gavin Kirkland: Well I think that’s pointless now, both TLA and the Mauler are stirring, trying their best to make it back to their feet! TLA is grabbing onto the ropes to try and pull herself back to his feet, and Kassidy is doing the same- BUT TLA KICKS HER IN THE FACE! TLA WITH A NASTY BOOT TO THE FACE, AND THE MAULER DROPS DOWN TO HER HANDS AND KNEES! TLA GRABBING THE MAULER IN A FRONT FACELOCK, AND HE BEGINS DELIVERING KNEE STRIKES TO THE MIDSECTION!
Persephone: The referee had time to count to ten, he just can’t do his job.
Stew-O: Come on, this is the King of Elite finals! There’s no way this match was going to end like that! WAIT, THE MAULER CHARGING TOWARDS THE CORNER WHILE TLA HAS HER IN THE FRONT FACELOCK, AND TLA IS SENT CRASHING INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE IN THE CORNER! The Mauler pulling TLA back up, and she manages to lift her up onto her shoulder- BEFORE DELIVERING A SNAKE EYES ONTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! TLA WAS JUST DROPPED FACE FIRST ONTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE, AND TLA IMMEDIATELY DROPS DOWN TO THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: THE MAULER DOESN’T STOP THERE THOUGH!! SHE IMMEDIATELY PICKS TLA BACK UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION, AND THERE’S THE HELLOFRESH!!! BUCKLEBOMB INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE- AND SHE IMMEDIATELY TRANSITIONS IT INTO A STANDING VERSION OF THE GAWD’S GIFT SUBMISSION!! KASSIDY USUALLY DOES THIS WITH AN AVALANCHE SET UP, BUT RIGHT NOW THE MAULER ISN’T LETTING UP! SHE’S NOT EVEN GIVING TLA ONE SECOND TO RECOVER, AS SHE LOCKS IN THE CROSS ARMBREAKER! THIS ISN’T GOOD FOR TLA, BUT IT’S PERFECT FOR ME :blessed:!!!! THE MAULER IS GOING TO WIN THIS MATCH AND THE KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT!!!
Persephone: Ew, she’s biting TLA’s hand too. I don’t know however long it was since Kassidy became a cannibal, but I really don’t like this. We already have a person-eater in this match with Xander Payne, we don’t need Kassidy starting this stuff again too. TLA is unfortunately Voltage’s representative in this match, so if he’s gonna lose can it happen in a less embarrassing way than him being eaten?
Gavin Kirkland: If it makes you feel any better Persephone, I don’t think this will last too long! There’s no way TLA doesn’t tap out to this!
Persephone: How would that make me feel any better?
Gavin Kirkland: Well…
Stew-O: TLA is definitely in a lot of trouble right now! He can’t go for the ropes because this match has no disqualifications, and he can’t fight as much as he probably wants to because he was just sent into that exposed turnbuckle multiple times! Blood is even beginning to gush out of TLA’s forehead after being dropped face first onto the exposed turnbuckle, there’s no way he can get out of this! TLA is definitely gonna have to tap out! TLA HAS HIS FREE HAND UP, I THINK THIS IS IT! THIS IS GONNA BE THE END OF THE MATCH!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD!!!!
Stew-O: XANDER PAYNE GRABBED THE BELL FROM THE TIMEKEEPERS AREA AND THREW IT AT THE REFEREE’S HEAD!!! THE REFEREE WAS JUST KNOCKED OUT THANKS TO XANDER’S DESPERATION, AND THAT JUST SAVED THE MATCH!!
Persephone: Our table… The barricade… The referee.. Are they seriously not being fined for this?
(The Mauler looks over at the unconscious referee, and realizes that the match isn’t actually over. Xander has a smile on his face as one of the workers from the timekeepers area retrieves the bell, knowing he managed to save the match.)
Stew-O: Xander is clearly not okay after getting speared through the barricade. He probably didn’t think he’d be able to make it to break up the submission in time, and in turn he did what he had to do and took out the referee using the bell. The Mauler doesn’t exactly look happy, and she’s rolling back out of the ring as Xander begins looking for something under the ring! I honestly can’t believe this match isn’t over yet! Somehow TLA survived in that submission for as long as he did too, you have to give him props for that! The Mauler is charging towards Xander now-
Gavin Kirkland: A KENDO STICK!! XANDER JUST PULLED OUT A KENDO STICK, AND HE WHACKS THE MAULER IN THE MIDSECTION WITH IT! So far Xander Payne has been bringing most of these weapons into the match from the steel chair to the ring bell to now this kendo stick, AND NOW HE HITS THE MAULER IN THE MIDSECTION WITH THE KENDO STICK ONCE AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! XANDER HITTING THE MAULER OVER AND OVER WITH THE KENDO STICK, AND RIGHT NOW XANDER HAS CONTROL OF THIS-
Stew-O: NO!! THE MAULER GRABS THE KENDO STICK, AND SHE KICKS XANDER IN THE MIDSECTION!! THE MAULER MANAGES TO TAKE THE KENDO STICK FROM XANDER, AND SHE HITS HIM IN THE STOMACH WITH THE KENDO STICK, BEFORE PUSHING XANDER INTO THE RINGPOST! WAIT A MINUTE!!! SHE’S CHOKING HIM! THE MAULER IS CHOKING XANDER ON THE RINGPOST BY PRESSING THE KENDO STICK AGAINST HIS THROAT! THE MAULER IS CHOKING XANDER OUT!! XANDER IS TRYING TO FIGHT IT BUT SHE IMMEDIATELY KNEES XANDER IN THE MIDSECTION TO STOP HIM, FOLLOWING IT UP WITH A HUGE HEADBUTT WHERE THAT WOUND BY HIS EYEBROW IS! I THINK XANDER IS FADING!
Persephone: Finally, just make Xander pass out and finish this match! Then I can finally go look for Rexy! :blessed:
Gavin Kirkland: 305!!!!! TLA JUST HIT THE MAULER WITH A MODIFIED VERSION OF THE 305, SLIDING UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND KICKING KASSIDY IN THE BACK OF HER HEAD! TLA NOW KICKING XANDER IN THE MIDSECTION BEFORE SENDING HIM BACK INTO THE RING, AND WE COULD ACTUALLY BE APPROACHING THE END OF THE MATCH RIGHT HERE! XANDER IS CLEARLY DISORIENTED AFTER BEING NEARLY CHOKED OUT BY KASSIDY, AND TLA IS LOOKING TO CAPITALIZE!
Stew-O: TLA WITH ANOTHER KICK TO XANDER’S MIDSECTION, AND THERE’S THE MEXICAN DESTROYER!!! THE MEXICAN DESTROYER CONNECTS ON XANDER PAYNE, AND TLA TOOK OUT THE MAULER MOMENTS AGO WITH THAT MODIFIED 305! THIS IS IT, THIS HAS TO BE IT! TLA IS GOING TO WIN THE KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT, THERE’S THE COVER ON XANDER PAYNE!!!
(……….)
Persephone: Oh yeah, Xander tossed a bell at the referee’s head. Forgot about that.
Stew-O: TLA CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT HE’S SEEING! TLA QUICKLY GETTING OFF OF XANDER AND HELPING THE REFEREE UP, AND THE REFEREE IS ONLY BARELY COMING TO HIS SENSES! TLA TELLING THE REFEREE TO COUNT, AND NOW THERE’S THE COVER!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!….
(………)
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOO!!!!!……
(………)
TTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!….
(………)
Gavin Kirkland: AND XANDER PAYNE KICKS OUT!! That was it! That was the end of the match right there but once again Xander throwing the bell at the referee saved the match! TLA was struggling in the submission while the referee got knocked out, so he must not have realized he was that badly hurt! That’s definitely gotta hurt, TLA had this match won but instead this match is still on! Xander Payne still has a chance in this match, as does Kassidy Heart!
Persephone: Xander Payne is the luckiest man alive. There’s no way he could have known throwing the bell at the referee would save him as much as it did already. Not like it’ll do it any favors though, because TLA is still on his feet and Xander isn’t. Unless Xander’s fat starts shielding him, all that just did was prolong the inevitable. There’s no way he’ll be able to keep fighting. TLA now beginning to climb up to the top rope, and as expected Xander hasn’t moved although I don’t know if that’s because he’s hurt or if it’s because he’s fat and lazy. Doesn’t matter I guess, BURNOUT BY TLA!!!
Stew-O: THE MAULER JUST PUSHED TLA OFF OF THE TOP ROPE!! TLA DIDN’T CONNECT WITH XANDER BECAUSE THE MAULER JUST SENT HIM FLYING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND FAR INTO THE RING! She’s not getting back into the ring yet though, instead she’s going back under the ring and looking for something herself! Both Xander Payne and TLA are down, so she needs to hurry and find something before that changes! This is the perfect time for her to capitalize and try to win this match!
Gavin Kirkland: A GLASS TABLE???
Persephone: Wasn’t House of Glass like… Months ago?
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, but it looks like that doesn’t matter tonight! The Mauler just took out a glass table, and now she slides it into the ring before entering herself! The Mauler now setting it up in the middle of the ring, and whoever she puts through it.. They have to be done for. They’ve been through way too much tonight to keep going, there’s no way they could survive after this. The Mauler going to pick TLA up, probably because he doesn’t weigh 600 pounds.. I think this match is about to end!
Stew-O: NO! TLA WITH A PUNCH TO THE MAULER’S SIDE, AND ONCE AGAIN TLA IS FIGHTING THE MAULER OFF, JUST LIKE BEFORE! ONLY THIS TIME THE MAULER MANAGES TO GET THE BETTER OF TLA WITH A HUGE ELBOW! TLA tried fighting back, but the Mauler isn’t letting him this time as she begins pummeling the Voltage Elitist! This isn’t looking good for TLA, it looks like he’s the Mauler’s choice to go through this glass table, and this could be the end! THE MAULER NOW LIFTS TLA INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION- BUT LOOK! TLA IS DOING HIS BEST TO FIGHT OUT OF IT!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA WITH A HURRICANRANA, SENDING THE MAULER OUT OF THE RING! That was really close for TLA. There’s no way this match wasn’t going to end if TLA was sent through that glass table. He would have stood no chance-
Persephone: XANDER PAYNE POPS TLA UP, AND I THINK NOW HE’S ATTEMPTING TO DO WHAT KASSIDY DIDN’T! XANDER IS TRYING TO POWERBOMB TLA THROUGH THE GLASS TABLE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT TLA ROLLS THROUGH, SUNSET FLIP BY TLA, AND NOW THERE’S THE COVER!!!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO-
Persephone: Ugh, another kickout. That means the match still has to continue.
Stew-O: XANDER ATTEMPTS TO HIT TLA WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK, BUT TLA GETS OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE JUMPING BACK UP, AND JUMPING ON XANDER’S BACK WITH A SLEEPER HOLD! TLA IS ON XANDER PAYNE’S BACK, AND HE’S TRYING TO CHOKE HIM OUT! XANDER MIGHT ACTUALLY PASS OUT HERE! WAIT, WAIT WHAT’S HE DOING!? XANDER IS CLIMBING UP TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, BUT JUST LOOK AT HIM! HE’S CLEARLY FADING, AND I DON’T KNOW IF I LIKE HOW THIS IS GOING! XANDER ON THE MIDDLE ROPE TRYING TO GET TLA OFF OF HIM- BUT WAIT A MINUTE! LOOK AT THAT!
Gavin Kirkland: THE MAULER IS ON THE TOP ROPE! THE MAULER MADE HER WAY TO THE TOP ROPE, AND NOW SHE JUMPS RIGHT INTO XANDER PAYNE WITH A CLOTHESLINE, TAKING ALL THREE ELITISTS DOWN!!! TLA AND XANDER PAYNE JUST WENT THROUGH THE GLASS TABLE AND THE MAULER IS DOWN, BUT LOOK! XANDER IS ON TOP OF TLA, HE’S GOING TO STEAL THIS AND I DON’T EVEN THINK HE’S CONSCIOUS!!!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: THE MAULER BREAKS IT UP!! SHE BREAKS UP THE PIN BEFORE PINNING XANDER HERSELF!! THE MAULER IS ABOUT TO WIN THIS MATCH!!
OOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Persephone: OH MY GOD!! I am going to lose my mind. HOW DID XANDER GET HIS SHOULDER UP!?!? I THOUGHT HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS!!! This sucks. This really sucks. This match should have ended right then and there. “ThE mAuLeR” is pulling Xander off of TLA so he can’t pin him anymore, and honestly I just want to know what it’ll take to end this match. Maybe if these three tried actually killing each other we’d be able to go home. At this point though even murder probably won’t work. These three clearly are roided up and don’t deserve to be here.
Stew-O: The Mauler is rolling out of the ring once more, and to be honest I’m not sure how much more these three could possibly need. They broke our table, a glass table, the barricade, and already used various weapons. The Mauler just pulled out a small bag as well as a steel chair, and she just slid both into the ring but it still looks like she’s not done! The Mauler is looking for something else, wait a minute…. Is that what I think it is?
Persephone: A barbed wire bowling ball..?
Gavin Kirkland: That’s a weapon Xander Payne has used in the past, and it looks like it was prepared tonight but The Mauler got to it before him! That’s not what you want to hear if you’re TLA or Xander, and now the Mauler makes her way into the ring! The Mauler walks up to TLA as he’s the closest competitor, AND NOW SHE RAISES THE BARBED WIRE BOWLING BALL! If she does what I think she’s going to do, she might not just end this match, she might end TLA’s career or worse! THE MAULER SLAMS THE BARBED WIRE BOWLING BALL DOWN ON TLA’S HEAD!
Persephone: OH COME ON!!! THIS WAS THE ONE TIME SOMEONE IN THE MATCH DID SOMETHING SMART AND TRIED TO KILL THEIR OPPONENT, AND TLA BLOCKED THE BOWLING BALL WITH HIS ARMS! You’ve gotta be kidding me, this is what I’ve been waiting for this whole match and MY brand’s representative ruined it!
Stew-O: LIKE PERSEPHONE SAID, TLA MANAGED TO BLOCK THE BOWLING BALL BUT JUST THINK OF THE DAMAGE THAT DID!! THAT WAS A BOWLING BALL COVERED IN BARBED WIRE BEING SLAMMED INTO HIS ARMS WITH FULL FORCE!! THE MAULER TURNING HER ATTENTION TOWARDS THE OTHER COMPETITOR IN THIS MATCH- OH MY GOD!
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER PAYNE JUST STABBED ONE OF THE BROKEN PIECES OF GLASS INTO THE MAULER’S ARM!!! KASSIDY CLEARLY IN PAIN, BUT SHE CAN’T DO ANYTHING AS XANDER KICKS HER IN THE STOMACH, DROPPING HER DOWN TO HER KNEES! XANDER IS HOLDING THAT PIECE OF BROKEN GLASS THAT’S STABBED INTO KASSIDY’S ARM, AND NOW HE BEGINS DRAGGING THE PIECE OF GLASS DOWN HER ARM! XANDER IS CUTTING HER ARM OPEN, THIS IS DISGUSTING! I don’t know if I can watch this, guys!
Persephone: Man… If he was gonna stab her he could’ve done it in the head. Maybe even try to decapitate her or something. This is just gross.
Xander Payne: (off-mic) :comeagain: What is that?
(Xander holds the piece of glass for a moment, and he looks down at it in a bit of confusion, before suddenly his eyes light up as if a lightbulb turned on inside his head.)
Stew-O: OH GOD, I REALLY DON’T LIKE THIS! XANDER IS TWISTING THE GLASS SHARD AND SLOWLY PULLING IT OUT, AND I THINK HE’S TRYING TO PULL SOMETHING OUT OF HER ARM! WHAT IS HE DOING!? WAIT… WHAT!? IS THAT WHAT I THINK THAT IS!?!?
Persephone: :oh: He just dug out her birth control implant.
Gavin Kirkland: I’m going to vomit… That’s so disgusting, but I really hope Kassidy is okay. :lupe:
(Xander finally drops the glass shard as the birth control implant falls to the mat. The Mauler falls down too, holding her arm in pain after Xander left such a huge cut on it.)
Persephone: Huh. Well, that wasn’t boring. Way to go Xander.
Gavin Kirkland: How are you reacting this calmly to that!? :wtf: Did you not see what just happened!?
Persephone: Well for starters, I’m a Voltage commentator.
Stew-O: GUYS!!! FORGET ABOUT ALL OF THAT, XANDER PAYNE IS DRAGGING THE MAULER BACK UP, AND HE PUTS HER BETWEEN HIS LEGS BEFORE HOOKING THE ARMS! THERE’S NO WAY SHE COULD FIGHT OUT OF THIS WITH ONLY ONE ARM, JUST NO WAY! PAYNEKILLER BY XANDER PAYNE!!! THE PACKAGE PILEDRIVER CONNECTS ON THE MAULER, THAT’S IT!! THIS MATCH IS DONE!! XANDER PAYNE WINS THE KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT AFTER ONE BRUTAL PERFORMANCE!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Stew-O: TLA JUST HIT XANDER WITH THE BARBED WIRE BOWLING BALL!!! TLA FREEING HIMSELF FROM IT BEFORE FINALLY USING IT TO BREAK UP THE PIN, AND XANDER IMMEDIATELY FALLS OFF OF THE PIN! TLA REALIZES THIS IS HIS OPPORTUNITY, AND HE GOES FOR THE COVER ON THE MAULER!!!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THE MAULER GETS HER SHOULDER UP!!! SHE USED THE ARM THAT WASN’T CUT TO GET THE SHOULDER UP, SHE’S SOMEHOW STILL IN THIS! HOW!? HOW IS THE MAULER STILL IN THIS, AFTER HAVING THE BIRTH CONTROL IMPLANT TORN OUT AND BEING HIT WITH THE PAYNEKILLER, HOW IS KASSIDY HEART STILL IN THIS MATCH!?!? I can’t believe my eyes, this match should not still be going on!
Persephone: Believe me, I’m with you Gavin. It’s like this match is just never going to end. Could’ve been avoided if Xander just stabbed her in the head like I said but noooo. Just had to go with the birth control implant.
Stew-O: TLA rips the barbed wire bowling ball from Xander, and wow. Just look at the state of the three competitors inside of the ring. All three of them are covered in blood cuts and scars, and none of them should still be fighting but somehow this match is still on! TLA drags Xander into the corner in a seated position… And he’s spreading Xander’s legs open. :comeagain:
Gavin Kirkland: TLA has the bowling ball in his hand and he begins to back up as far as he can…
Persephone: This should be good.
Gavin Kirkland: AND TLA SENDS THE BARBED WIRE BOWLING BALL RIGHT TOWARDS XANDER!!!
Persephone: :noah: WHY DID XANDER GET OUT OF THE WAY!! That would’ve been hilarious! TLA sent the barbed wire bowling ball towards Xander whose legs were open but Xander just barely managed to move out of the way!
Gavin Kirkland: I DON’T THINK THAT DID HIM ANY GOOD THOUGH, BECAUSE TLA CHARGES TOWARDS HIM BEFORE HITTING THE 305 TO THE BACK OF XANDER’S HEAD!! THE 305 CONNECTS, AND NOW TLA HAS TO MAKE A CHOICE ON WHO TO FINISH OFF HERE! Both Xander Payne and the Mauler are down and out, this is TLA’s best chance! TLA is slowly making his way up to the top rope, and at this point I think we should know what he’s looking for! This match has gone on long enough, and now TLA is finally looking to finish the job! TLA looks at both of the Elitists, AND HE HAS HIS EYES SET ON THE MAULER!! TLA NOW, BURNOUTT!!!! BURNOUT CONNECTS ON THE MAULE-
Stew-O: WAIT, WAIT NO IT DIDN’T!!! IT DIDN’T ACTUALLY CONNECT!!! TLA LANDED ON KASSIDY, BUT SHE PICKED UP THE STEEL CHAIR SHE BROUGHT INTO THE RING AND USED IT TO COVER HER! TLA LANDED RIGHT ON TOP OF THAT STEEL CHAIR, AND I THINK THAT MIGHT HAVE COSTED HIM THE VICTORY HERE! THE MAULER NOW DRAGGING HERSELF ON TOP OF TLA FOR THE COVER, THIS HAS TO BE IT, SURELY THIS MATCH IS OVER!
OOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTT-
Stew-O: XANDER PAYNE SHOVES THE MAULER OFF OF TLA!! XANDER SAVES THE MATCH, THIS IS STILL NOT OVER! OUR KING OF ELITE WINNER IS STILL UNDECIDED!
Gavin Kirkland: The Mauler doesn’t look too happy, AND SHE DELIVERS A HUGE KNEE TO THE SIDE OF XANDER’S HEAD TO KEEP HIM DOWN! The Mauler now looks back towards TLA, and now she looks towards the pile of broken glass! The Mauler holding her arm, and I think she just got an idea after what Xander did to her! This isn’t an idea I really want to see come to fruition, but I don’t think we’re gonna have a choice! The Mauler picking up one of the glads shards, AND NOW SHE CLIMBS ON TOP OF TLA BEFORE BEGINNING TO REPEATEDLY STAB HIM WITH THE SHARD!!
Persephone: :blessed: Finally something exciting!
Stew-O: TLA IS TURNING HIMSELF TOWARDS HIS SIDE AND USING HIS ARM TO TRY AND DEFEND HIMSELF, BUT THE MAULER WON’T STOP!! SHE’S STABBING AWAY AT HIM REPEATEDLY, NOT EVEN CARING WHERE SHE’S HITTING! IF THINGS CONTINUE LIKE THIS TLA IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE OUT OF THIS ONE JUST FROM A LOSS OF BLOOD!!!
Persephone: KEEP STABBING HIM!! AIM FOR THE HEAD TOO!! KILL HIM ALREADY AND JUST COVER HIM SO THIS MATCH CAN END ON A HIGH NOTE!!
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT, TLA MANAGES TO GRAB THAT SMALL BAG KASSIDY BROUGHT IN A WHILE AGO, AND HE SMASHES IT INTO HER FACE! The Mauler was just knocked right off of TLA, but just look at the condition he’s in! He was just stabbed over and over, and I don’t think those stab wounds are too deep but they’re stab wounds regardless! I don’t know how TLA is making it back up to his feet, BUT AS SOON AS HE DOES HE HITS KASSIDY WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE!! Surely that had to be enough to take her out for the time being!
Stew-O: Xander Payne is starting to use the ropes to get back to his feet, and TLA noticed this as he turns around towards Xander! Xander Payne and TLA begin to circle the ring, AND NOW XANDER CHARGES TOWARDS TLA!! XANDER ATTEMPTED TO HIT TLA WITH A LARIAT BUT TLA DUCKED UNDER IT, BEFORE HITTING XANDER WITH THE CARTEL KICK!! WHAT A KICK BY TLA, AND THAT CAUSES XANDER TO FALL BACK INTO THE ROPES!!
Gavin Kirkland: JUST TO BOUNCE OFF OF THEM AND HIT TLA WITH THE OVERDOSE!!! XANDER WITH ANOTHER DISCUS PALM STRIKE, AND THIS ONE BUSTED TLA’S NOSE! BOTH ELITISTS ARE ON THEIR KNEES, DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN JUST TO NOT DROP DOWN TO THE MAT.. AND NOW LOOK AT THEM! XANDER AND TLA PUNCHING AWAY AT EACH OTHER, AND THIS HAS BECOME A BRAWL BETWEEN THE TWO ELITISTS STILL STANDING!
Persephone: Xander Payne and TLA, aka two of the worst wrestlers to ever step foot in the ring. Makes sense that it took one of ‘em years to win his first World Championship and the other still hasn’t won his first. Both Elitists are going back and forth with their punches- BUT XANDER MANAGES TO HIT TLA WITH A SUPERKICK!!
Stew-O: BUT TLA RESPONDS WITH A VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT!! Xander falling back into the ropes once more, only this time he’s just using them to stay on his feet! This match has clearly taken a huge toll on both competitors as even TLA looks like he needs to catch his breath! IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE HIS FATIGUE IS GOING TO STOP HIM THOUGH, AS TLA CHARGES TOWARDS XANDER, LOOKING TO SEND HIM OUT OF THE RING WITH A CLOTHESLINE!!
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER JUST LIFTED TLA AND SENT HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!!! TLA JUST WENT BACK FIRST INTO THE EDGE OF THAT BARRICADE BEFORE DROPPING DOWN TO RINGSIDE, AND I THINK TLA IS DONE!! ALL XANDER NEEDS TO DO IS EITHER FINISH KASSIDY OFF AND WE’LL HAVE A WINNER!! TLA was definitely taken out of this match, there’s no way he can come back from a fall like that this late into the match, there’s just no way!
Persephone: Wait a minute… So this match might actually end soon? THANK GOD!! I’ve been waiting for this moment ever since Rex’s match. Xander Payne finally turning towards Kassidy so he can put this match to rest-
Stew-O: THE MAULER WITH A DROP TOE HOLD, SENDING XANDER FACE FIRST INTO A SET-UP STEEL CHAIR!!! WAIT, CAN WE GET A REPLAY!? WHEN DID KASSIDY DO THAT!?
(The camera shows a replay to when Xander Payne and TLA were fighting. Around the time where Xander hit TLA with the superkick, the Mauler had opened and set up the steel chair near the center of the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: Wow! What a smart move by Kassidy, and now Xander is clearly stunned! Xander is making his way towards the corner to try and recover- BUT THERE’S THE RAPTURE!!! THE MAULER CONNECTS WITH THE RAPTURE, CRUSHING XANDER’S FACE AGAINST THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! XANDER DROPPING BACK DOWN TO THE MAT, AND I THINK HE’S TRYING TO CRAWL TOWARDS THE STEEL CHAIR AND USE IT TO GET BACK UP BUT DOES HE HAVE ANYTHING LEFT!?
Persephone: I don’t know if that’s a good move on his part..
Gavin Kirkland: I think she’s about to kill Xander!
(As Xander tries to crawl up the steel chair, the Mauler grabs the small back as well as a bunch of the smaller glass shards. She opens the bag and pours a ton of thumbtacks over the chair, before dropping the small shards over the chair as well.)
Stew-O: Oh my God… Xander getting up to one knee, AND HE JUST NOW REALIZED WHAT’S GOING ON BUT KASSIDY IS ALREADY OFF AND RUNNING THE ROPES!!! PAINFULLY EVER AFTER ONTO THE THUMBTACK AND GLASS SHARD COVERED STEEL CHAIR!!! THE MAULER JUST DROVE XANDER’S FACE INTO GLASS SHARDS, THUMBTACKS, AND THAT STEEL CHAIR!! THE MAULER FINALLY DROPPING DOWN ONTO XANDER, AND THIS TIME THAT’S IT! IT HAS TO BE OVER!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… HERE IS YOU WINNER AND THE 2021 KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT WINNER… THEEEEEE MMMAAAUUUUULLLEERRRRRRRR!!!!!!
Stew-O: IT’S OVER!!! SHE DID IT!!! SHE ACTUALLY DID IT!!!! KASSIDY HEART WINS THE KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER WE HAVE A WOMAN IN THIS POSITION! HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE!
Gavin Kirkland: What a match! I can’t believe it’s actually over, but just look at what it took to get here! Kassidy had to drive Xander’s head through glass shards, thumbtacks and that steel chair with the Painfully Ever After all at once, and in the end that got the job done after such an incredible showing by three of the best wrestlers in the entire world!
Persephone: What? Rex isn’t even in the match.
Gavin Kirkland: But-
Persephone: There’s only one best in the world, and that’s Rexy. Anyways, I guess Kassidy gets a future Word Championship opportunity or whatever. She has a lot of Championships to choose from but I’d rather not pay attention to anything she has to do so hopefully she makes her decision quickly.
Stew-O: Xander Payne and TLA put up an incredible fight. Xander definitely will become World Champion one day, and it’s only a matter of time until TLA once again reaches the top of the mountain! Tonight is Kassidy Heart’s night though, so congratulations!
(‘Coming Undone’ hits, and even though Kassidy Heart is not the most liked Elitist in the company the crowd explodes. Regardless of how she is viewed normally, this is still a historic moment both for EAW and for her own career. For a while, the camera shows the three Elitists, allowing the wounds they’ve suffered to be put on camera. TLA’s face is covered in blood, and his arms are torn up thanks to the barbed wire bowling ball and Kassidy’s stabbing. Xander Payne is bleeding from his hand and arms from being bit by Steroid Dawg, and another bite wound is visible in his leg. His face is another story, as it’s a complete mess especially seeing what just happened, and there’s even a dent on the chair seat. The Mauler’s head is still bloody, as is her arm from what Xander did to her. Nonetheless, while the other two Elitists are still unconscious Kassidy finds her way to her feet. The referee raises her hand, and Bella Braxton places the crown on top of her head.)
Stew-O: What an amazing night.
Gavin Kirkland: My Kassidy really did it :mjcry: I’m so proud of her.
Stew-O: Well.. I’m Stew-O, and with me is Gavin Kirkland and-
Persephone: And Persephone. Hurry and wrap this up please, I really need to go see if Rexy is still here!
Stew-O: :francis: Alright. Anyways… Thank you all for sticking around for the first free-per-view of 2021! Goodnight everybody!
(As Kassidy Heart stands on the middle turnbuckle with the crown on top of her head, King of
Elite fades out to a commercial break..)
(As we return from the commercial, the scene pans to Mikaela Street behind a Showdown blue backdrop. She wears a smile on her face as she begins.)
Mikaela Street: Can’t you guys believe that we’re about a week away from King of Elite? Honestly, there are so many matches from the Showdown brand alone that I am excited for? Harper Lee vs. ARIA for the Specialists Championship, Cameron Ella Ava vs. Veena Adams, Kassidy Heart vs. TLA in a Two out of Three Falls for the Answers World Championship, but right now, I would like to focus on this particular match with the two men who had their aspirations on capturing the Answers World Championship since the beginning of the season. After two failed attempts from these two, they face off in a thirty-minute Ironman match.
(A split-screen with Impact on the left and Theron Nikolas on the right. Impact’s location reads “SEATTLE, WASHINGTON” while Theron’s reads “EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA”. Mikaela Street is in between Impact and Theron. The two men have their earpieces on as Mikaela looks to begin this interview.)
Mikaela Street: Gentlemen, I appreciate the two of you taking some time in order to do this interview with me, so why don’t we start things off. Despite it being the common goal between the two of you for the first half of this season so far, the two of you have failed at your question to capture the Answers World Championship on two different occasions — those being at Reasonable Doubt and Road to Redemption. I guess, the EAW Universe wants to know your mindset when it comes to all of that. Impact, you can start things off, and then, Theron, you can add in your two cents.
Impact: It’s been a tough road, Mikaela. It absolutely sucks. There’s no way to sugarcoat it exactly, but it’s been a tough road of missed opportunity after missed opportunity. I’ve been on the verge of getting my tenth World Championship reign, but it just hasn’t clicked with me. Still, when it all matters, I have struggled with the aspect of piecing it all together. I can fire from all cylinders. I can constantly continue to prove to everyone that I am above every single wrestler — not only on Showdown but this entire company. This shit sucks. I can’t remember experiencing this feeling in a long, long time. Normally, things seemed simpler for me. I can’t find a way to describe it, but this season, I’m being forced to look at these scenarios where men and women can say that I “dropped the ball” and I could sit here and tell you that this shit doesn’t bother me, but it does. It fucking pisses me off that I dropped the ball on getting my tenth World Championship reign. It fucking pisses me off that I get to watch Kassidy Heart wear a championship that rightfully belongs to me. It’s another symbol of something that is supposed to separate me from your DEDEDEs and Jamie O’Haras and place me on a pedestal all my own and yet, I look at that championship and I’m constantly reminded that I didn’t get the job done at Reasonable Doubt or Road to Redemption. After facing that failure at Road to Redemption, I had to figure out how I was going to pick myself up from dropping the ball on becoming Answers World Champion. I dropped the ball, so how am I going to pick it up? It’s a question that I’ve constantly asked myself and as the weeks go by, I’m still left with no fucking clue, but I hope to have the answers once I get rid of you at King of Elite, Theron.
(Theron Nikolas adjusts his seat and he seems quite focused on what Impact has to say.)
Impact: You have been a thorn on my side since Reasonable Doubt. Each time I turn my sight towards the Answers World Championship, you have been there to stand in my way and prevent me from accomplishing my goddamn birthright —
Theron Nikolas: You’re “goddamn birthright,” Impact?
(Theron Nikolas pauses, slightly chuckling at the ridiculousness of that statement.)
Theron Nikolas: Mikaela, I am going to second on not ‘sugarcoating’ thing that Impacts doing right now. What I am going to say to you, Impact, and anyone else who watches this deserves to hear Theron Nikolas in his rawest form. Last week, I told everyone that it was about time that I stopped pretending and force myself to be more real as I’m talking to all of you. I returned to Grand Rampage and told anyone that would listen that I had overcome the weaknesses that were holding me back towards the end of my first tenure in this company. I had high hopes that I was going to accomplish bigger and better things and what I did the first time was going to pale in comparison.
(Theron Nikolas releases a slight breathy chuckle before continuing.)
Theron Nikolas: There are a few people in this company who know the struggle of the nosedive that my life took when I left back in 2019. When I returned, I wanted to believe that all of that was behind me, but this season, in particular, I thought things were going to be different. I thought I was going to be a different man, but slowly, I found myself heading down the same path that I had worked my ass off to get out of and if it wasn’t for someone like Hawk to make me realize things that I wouldn’t have been able to see for myself, I would still be in the mindset that I was at Road to Redemption. I would still be looking to do what I can to become the Answers World Championship and let it consume me. Maybe, it’s a blessing in disguise that TLA snuck into the ring and signed that contract. At least, I can say that I’m on the same boat as you, Impact. Do you think that you’re the only one who has dropped the ball on their opportunities to become Answers World Champion? Constantly, I had to watch a woman who isn’t a fraction of the wrestler I am, get the upper hand on me time after time again. I have sixty-eight stitches from my bicep to my down to my wrist to remind me of what I couldn’t get done. I thought that Reasonable Doubt was going to be the night that I solidified myself as the ‘God Emperor’ and instead, it became nothing more than the night that I reminded myself of who the fuck I actually am. I thought Road to Redemption was going to be the night that I give Kassidy a taste of her own medicine with the same piece of barbed wire that she used on me and yet, it became a reminded that I had completely lost myself and what became of me in the midsts of trying to surpass the greatness I had this time around. What separates you from me, Impact? You want the Answers World Championship. I need the Answers World Championship.
(Impact chuckles and shakes his head, amused by the last two sentences from Theron Nikolas’ promo.)
Mikaela Street: I am going to need to interject myself in this little discussion between the two of you, but it’s safe to say that becoming Answers World Champion is something that’s equally important to the two of you and for different reasons. Theron, can you go a little more into detail about why you ‘need’ the Answers World Championship?
Theron Nikolas: I need the Answers World Championship for redemption. I’ve faced some serious lows while I was away. If it wasn’t for my sister, Mia, I don’t think that I would be here talking to you, Mikaela. The important reason why I need the Answers World Championship is to say: “I am sorry.” I’m sorry to everyone. To my family, to EAW, to myself, and to everyone who had hoped that I would be able to live up to the expectations set on me. I dropped the ball in that aspect and disappointed a ton of people who had given me these amazing opportunities to establish my legacy. These days, I understand that there’s a stigma with me. There’s a hesitation over why I’m not being given the opportunities that I felt like I was entitled to. “Theron’s just going to drop the ball!” “Once Theron doesn’t get his way, he’s going to shut down!” “Theron doesn’t want this like everyone else!” I’m not stupid. I’ve heard the gossip backstage. I’ve read all the pieces of dirt sheets on me. I’ve heard everyone try to label me as someone who doesn’t want to work for the things I want. They want to label me as unreliable and instead of just sulking in and validating those narratives on me, I know that I am going to need to work as hard as possible to make sure that I destroy that stigma and I am willing to work harder than anyone on this brand, in this company and that means you, Impact.
Impact: You want to talk about stigmas, Theron? Have you heard about the good ole “Impact only shows up for major matches?” Hmm, I expect that you do. There’s this idea that I’ve gotten lazy over the years because I am not out there competing every week. I’ve seen a majority of this locker room, including the Answers World Championship, recite that garbage over and over again, thinking that it holds any measure to me as a wrestler. I’ve been doing this shit for over a decade now, Theron. I pride myself on picking and choosing my spots. I pride myself on saving the best of what I got to say for a better date. I pride myself on showing up when it matters rather than giving FPV quality wrestler on a random episode of EAW programming. It’s funny because people want to say dumb shit like: “Impact can’t hang with this generation!” Yet, I’ve defeated the best talent that this generation has to offer. I’ve defeated Andre Walker. I’ve defeated Drake King. I’ve defeated Adam Lucas. You name them and I hold a certain victory over a lot of these talents which are considered ‘pillars’ these days. I’ve continued to prove that it’s not me that can’t hang, but those people that can’t hang with Impact. They can’t hang with me at my worst nor can they touch me in the ring at my best. I am not someone who is worried about getting fired if I don’t come to work. I have job security. I can roam these halls knowing that I’m not going to get fired. With you, Theron, despite all that you’ve accomplished, you should have that concern that if you show one inch of laziness, you’ll be thrown out the door faster than your career tanked when you lost at Pain for Pride 11.
(The crowd goes “ooooh” as Theron Nikolas forms a smirk on his face, trying to hold back on what he’s trying to say without giving it some thought.)
Impact: What happens when I beat you at King of Elite, Theron? Huh, are you going to continue to live up to the stigma that EAW management has given to you? Are you going to immediately shut down? Are you going to continue down that spiral that you teased yourself going down at Road to Redemption? Or are you going to dust yourself and move the fuck on? If these past couple of weeks have proven anything, it’s that you are still the mentally fragile little bitch you were back in 2019. You think that you can put on this facade and be like: “This is me in my rawest form!” but, this with me? This is me in my rawest form! These are my true colors! This is who I’ve always been. From the first day that I walked through those doors in Newark to the moment that I decide to unlace my books and call it a career, I will always remain true to myself. I will always continue to say the things that no other Elitists have the gull to say. I’ve always been Impact, uncensored, and without a care in the world. It’s what’s gotten me #9reignz and it’s what’s going to get me my tenth World Championship reign and place me on a higher pedestal than every single man and woman in this company and that means you, Theron. People give me a lot of shit, but if there is something that they can’t deny is that I have been VERY consistent in everything that I’ve done. From what I say on the mic to my performances in these high-caliber matches and fuck, you can count the once-in-a-month matches on Showdown, but I have never given anything less than what people can expect from me. That’s what separates me from you, Theron. You aren’t as consistent as me.
Theron Nikolas: I’m looking to change that, Impact. If I need to outwork you at King of Elite, I am going to do just that. When it comes to an Ironman match, it’s about who can keep up the consistent work rate for half an hour. It’s about who can maintain that same level of energy without allowing the other to gain the upper advantage. I am younger, I’m stronger and more good-looking than you, Impact. While you do possess the experience that not many people in the locker room — other than Cameron Ella Ava— have, I trump you on every other category when people are making their comparisons between the two of us — strength, agility, and endurance. Do you think that you can handle what I am going to throw at you at King of Elite? Do you think that you’re prepared for the war that we’re going to go through? If this match determines who’s next in line for the Answers World Championship, I am going to do everything in my power to make sure that it’s me who is in front of that line. When it comes to offering a fight, I am the one who has more fight than anyone in this company. I am the one who does whatever it takes to make sure that this match doesn’t head to overtime and it ends before things get worse for you, Impact.
Impact: Before things get bad for me? No, Theron, I see this Ironman match as another instance of me proving that I am the best wrestler in this company. I see this Ironman match as another instance of me choosing my spots and having it pay off for me tremendously. Once again, it will be Theron Nikolas who finds himself suffering through another heartbreak and being pushed down the hole that he had worked so hard in climbing himself out of. It’s such a shame, but Theron, with you out of my way, I don’t have to worry about you sneaking up on me, trying to insert yourself in MY business. I can finally have the clear path to my tenth World Championship reign. I can finally get MY moment in the spotlight after two years without a World Championship. I can finally give these people a champion that they can give a fuck about and won’t have to worry about mediocrity stinking up the place.
Mikaela Street: Wow, things are getting quite intense between the two of you. Unfortunately, this is all the time we have for this interview between the two of you. Theron, Impact, I want to thank you for making the time to do this interview. Best of luck to the both of you at King of Elite; may the best man win.
(Both Theron Nikolas and Impact nod as the scene transitions to ringside for the introduction to the final match of the night….)
(“A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” by Yoko Takahashi begins to play through the arena as the crowd gives a wonderful reaction for Usagi Senshi. Right next to her is none other than Ayu Megumi who is smiling and applauding her partner.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH HAS A TWENTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL–
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…BEING ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY AYU MEGUMI…FROM FUKUOKA, JAPAN…SHE IS “THE CRYPTIC ACE”…USAGI SENSHI!!!!!!
Deadprez: This woman and Ayu Megumi have found themselves having issues with Serotonin over the past few weeks. The issues hope to be settled on the “Super” Showdown after King of Elite as these two teams will see who faces The Haircare Kings at Dia Del Diablo!
Gavin Kirkland: A match with four wonderful rising talents of the Showdown brand is going to be a must-see, but tonight, Usagi Senshi has Harper Lee to focus on. While the worry about Serotonin has been eliminated from this match, it’s still a huge match that needs all the attention it can get!
Eve: This woman here has the opportunity to prove that she could be a future Unified Tag Team Champion with Ayu Megumi and why not prove it against a former Unified Tag Team Champion in Harper Lee?
(“’Sweet Dreams” by Eurythmics, Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart begin to play as the crowd instantly boos Harper Lee who has the Specialists Champion wrapped around her waist. Harper is soaking in the reception of the crowd before turning her focus towards Usagi Senshi inside the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT…FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA…SHE IS THE EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION… THE “WOMAN WITHOUT FEAR”…HARPER LEE!!!!!!
Deadprez: In less than one week, Harper Lee will be walking into her first title defense as Specialists Champion against a rising talent in ARIA. Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve seen her almost brush off ARIA and not take her as any competition at all. It seems like Harper is giving off that same energy here against Usagi as –
Gavin Kirkland: IT SEEMS LIKE USAGI SENSHI ISN’T GOING TO WAIT FOR HARPER LEE TO GET TO THE RING AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A LOU THEZ PRESS ON THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! USAGI IS CONNECTING WITH LEFT AND RIGHTS ON THE CHAMPION! Let’s not forget that Serotonin, Pandora Paisley, and Jonny Airhart are responsible for taking Usagi out of action for the past couple of weeks! You can tell that there’s a lot of fire and anger ranging out of this young woman!
Eve: It seems like Harper Lee is someone who was unfortunate to be in the crossfires of an angry Usagi Senshi! The referee is trying to step in and pull Usagi away from Harper Lee! The bell hasn’t even rung to begin this match! Ayu Megumi is pulling Usagi over to her, trying to calm her down just enough to regain her focus in this match-up. Meanwhile, the referee is checking on Harper, who is trying to get herself to her feet by using the ropes! Harper is demanding for the referee to ring the bell to start the match!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: THE TWO WOMEN LAUNCH TOWARDS EACH OTHER, BEGINNING TO THROW SOME PUNCHES AT ONE ANOTHER, NOT LETTING THE OTHER GET THE UPPER HAND ON THE OTHER! USAGI SENSHI IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH SOME PUNCHES TO THE HEAD OF THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION, KNOCKING HER BACK AGAINST THE PERPENDICULAR SET OF ROPES! USAGI CONNECTS WITH SOME RAPID PUNCHES TO THE CHAMPION AS THE REFEREE BEGINS TO STEP IN THE MIDDLE, TRYING TO SEPARATE THE TWO WOMEN! Harper Lee uses the free space to get herself up to her feet by using the top rope! Usagi walks over to the champion to resume her work, but Harper connects with a drop toehold as Usagi falls face-first on the second rope!
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER LEE TAKES A STEP BACK BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS ONE-HALF OF THE ICE ACES, CONNECTING WITH A METEORA TO THE BACK OF HER SKULL! THEN, HARPER PLACES ONE OF HER KNEES ON THE BACK OF USAGI SENSHI’S NECK! I THINK THAT THE REFEREE IS GOING TO NEED TO STEP IN WHEN IT COMES TO THIS!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET OFF OF HER, HARPER!
Eve: Harper Lee removes her knee from the back of Usagi Senshi’s neck and then, proceeds to use the second rope to choke ‘The Cryptic Ace!’ Ayu Megumi is trying to tell Usagi for a way to fight through this as Harper glares at Ayu, who is only showing her partner and friend some support! The referee is beginning his count on Harper to release her hold on Usagi!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Deadprez: I don’t think that Harper Lee was quite happy with how this match began, so we’re going to be seeing the Specialists Champion in her meanest state! The referee gives Harper a brief lecture on the rules as Harper rolls her eyes and walks away from him and to Usagi Senshi! Usagi finds herself with her back against the ropes as Harper picks Usagi up to her feet! Harper has her by the wrist and Irish whips her to the other set of perpendicular ropes! Usagi is able to rebound from those sets of ropes, but Harper is able to hook Usagi by her elbow and connect with a hip toss, but Usagi lands on her feet and connects with an arm drag that sends the champion across the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee manages to slide herself to one of her knees as she picks herself up to her feet, BUT USAGI SENSHI CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK THAT SENDS HARPER TO THE NEAREST TURNBUCKLE! USAGI TAKES A COUPLE OF STEPS BACK BEFORE FOLLOWING UP THAT RUNNING DROPKICK AND NAILING THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION WITH A FLYING FOREARM SMASH TO HER FACE! HARPER COLLAPSES ON THE SECOND ROPE AS USAGI BEGINS TO UNLOAD IN A SERIES OF PUNCHES ON HARPER! SHE BEGINS TO STOMP ON THE RIBS OF HARPER! SHE KEEPS HER BOOT ON THE SIDE OF HARPER’S FACE AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE REFEREE IS GOING TO STEP IN!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Eve: Usagi Senshi takes a step back before nailing Harper Lee face first with a knee strike to the jaw! She pulls Harper by her leg and goes for the first pinfall attempt in the match!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTT–
Deadprez: Harper Lee with a quick kick out! Harper begins to roll into a crawling position, but Usagi Senshi gets Harper in a headlock! Usagi drops down to one knee as she wrenches in the headlock, applying more pressure! It seems like Harper is trying to push Usagi away from her! It seems like Harper is attempting to push Usagi into the parallel set of ropes that are closest to them! Harper manages to push Usagi towards the ropes, but Usagi manages to stop herself from colliding with those ropes! Harper tries to attack from behind, but Usagi connects with an elbow to the face of the champion!
Gavin Kirkland: Usagi Senshi pulls Harper Lee closer to her as connecting with a snap suplex! Harper tries to get back to her feet, but Usagi manages to stop the Specialists Champion with a side-step enzuiguri that causes Harper to fall to her side! Usagi runs towards the ‘Woman Without Fear’ with a penalty kick to the rubs as that sends Harper to her back! Usagi has her eyes on the perpendicular set of ropes as she springboards herself off of it and connects with an elbow drop! The elbow lands directly on the chest of Harper Lee as Usagi goes for the cover on the champion!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWW–
Eve: Harper Lee with a kick out! Usagi Senshi is up to her feet as she’s stalking the champion to her feet! As soon as Harper is mid-way up her feet, Usagi connects with a kick on the forehead of Harper that sends her staggering up to a vertical base, but you can also see that she’s stumbling back! Usagi rebounds herself off the parallel set of ropes before connecting with a forearm, looking to knock down the champion, but Harper remains on her two feet! She throws another punch to the Specialists Champion, but Harper retaliates by throwing a side-handed chop to the chest of Usagi! This causes ‘The Cryptic Ace’ to stagger back, but she throws an open-handed chop to Harper’s chest! It seems like these women are trying to knock the other woman down!
Deadprez: Harper Lee delivers a giant knee to the ribs of Usagi Senshi! She grabs the other woman by her hair and slams her hard against the canvas! Usagi is clutching to the back of her head, but Harper doesn’t look like she’s planning to stop there! SHE BEGINS TO STOMP ON THE BACK OF USAGI’S HEAD! OVER AND OVER AGAIN, HARPER IS NOT GIVING USAGI A SECOND TO PROCESS WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON. SHE IS DOING WHATEVER SHE CAN TO WIN THE MATCH AND SEND A MESSAGE TO ARIA, HER OPPONENT AT KING OF ELITE.
Gavin Kirkland: You can bet that ARIA is going to be watching this match. The Showdown viewers have witnessed the friendship brewing between The Ice Aces and ARIA. Those three have some respect for each other.
Eve: At the same time, I could see that Usagi Senshi is going into business with herself. She feels like she has something to prove! Not only to Harper Lee, Ayu Megumi, or the EAW Universe but to herself. She would love nothing more than to win the Unified Tag Team Championships with Ayu, so going up against a former Unified Tag Team Champion in Harper Lee seems like a proving ground for Usagi in a way. It seems like Harper is taking a step back before delivering a powerful foot stomp on the side of Usagi’s head! Instead of releasing her foot from Usagi’s head, she holds it there for the time being! She extends her hands out in confidence as the crowd doesn’t seem to like that whatsoever!
Crowd: HARPER SUCKS! HARPER SUCKS! HARPER SUCKS! HARPER SUCKS!
Harper Lee: (off-mic) HARPER ROCKS! HARPER ROCKS! HARPER ROCKS! I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT!
Deadprez: I don’t think that’s what the EAW Universe said, but Harper Lee releases her foot off of Usagi Senshi! She gets one-half of The Ice Aces up to her feet! She gets possession of her wrist before whipping her into the turnbuckle! USAGI’S BACK GOES CRASHING AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE AS HARPER BOLTS TOWARDS THE WOMAN WITH A HESITATION DROPKICK! USAGI FALLS FORWARD AND DOWN TO HER KNEES! Meanwhile, Harper finds herself on the top rope as she’s gesturing for Usagi to turn herself around! Slowly, you can see that Usagi is processing the situation around her! She turns herself around as Harper goes from the top rope –
Gavin Kirkland: DIVING SENTON ON USAGI SENSHI!!!!!!! HARPER LEE WITH THE COVER!!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Eve: Usagi Senshi SHOVES Harper Lee off of her! Harper Lee begins to unload on the other woman as she roughly picks up Usagi to her feet! Harper hoists Usagi up, connecting with ‘Ragnarok,’ her version of the Olympic Slam! Usagi finds herself in a crawling position as Harper finds her way back to her feet as she follows that up with a front basement dropkick to the face of Usagi as which sends her rolling to her back! Now, Harper begins to apply a headlock on Usagi Senshi! She manages to keep the headlock as low as she possibly can, trying to not only keep Usagi grounded but perhaps, weaken her a bit!
Deadprez: You can see that Ayu Megumi is looking at her partner from underneath the bottom rope, clutching her first, trying to tell Usagi Senshi that she needs to fight through this and look for a way to make a comeback in this match! Slowly, Usagi manages to roll herself to her knee, which causes Harper to take the headlock to a knee. But, you can see that Usagi is trying to break herself free as she throws a couple of punches to the back of the Specialists Champion!
Gavin Kirkland: Still, you can see that Harper Lee is trying to maintain the headlock, but Usagi Senshi continues to throw those punches to her back! BUT, HARPER CONNECTS WITH A ‘RED SKULL’ HER VARIATION OF THE HEADBUTT AS THAT KNOCKS DOWN USAGI TO ONE KNEE! HARPER REBOUNDS HERSELF OFF THE PERPENDICULAR SET OF ROPES AND ONTO USAGI! HARPER GETS HERSELF IN A HEADSCISSORS AS SHE’S SPINNING HERSELF AROUND! USAGI IS TRYING TO GAIN SOME CONTROL IN THIS MATCH, BUT USAGI MANAGES TO STOP THE MOMENTUM OF THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION BY CONNECTING WITH A BACKBREAKER! WHAT AN EXCELLENT COUNTER THERE!
Eve: Harper Lee is clutching her lower back as she is trying to
find her way back to her feet. Usagi Senshi runs towards the ‘Woman Without Fear,’ nailing her with a superkick as that staggers her back! Usagi grabs Harper by the wrist, pulling her closer to her before connecting with a snapdragon suplex! NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE USAGI IS BOLTING TOWARDS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION WITH A ‘FATALITY’ – THE RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE BLASTING HARPER IN THE FACE –
Deadprez: Not exactly, Eve! Harper Lee rolls herself out of the ring before Usagi Senshi could connect with that lethal knee strike to Harper! That was an intelligent move from the champion as she turns to her right and sees Ayu Megumi staring right at her! I don’t think that Ayu is happy to see Harper getting the upper hand on her partner at the moment. She has her arms folded across her chest as she’s staring daggers at the Specialists Champion, but I think that Harper needs to pay attention to what’s going on inside the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: NOT TIME TO CHECK IT OUT, USAGI SENSHI DIVES THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND CONNECTS WITH A SUICIDE DIVE ON HARPER LEE! HARPER AND USAGI CRASH AGAINST THE FRONT OF OUR TABLE! DAMN, THAT ALMOST KNOCKED ME OUT OF MY SEAT! USAGI IS THE FIRST ONE TO HER FEET AS SHE’S HYPING UP THE CROWD! THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET AS USAGI FINDS HERSELF ON TOP OF OUR TABLE! WHAT IS SHE PLANNING TO DO NOW?!??!
Eve: Harper Lee rises up to her feet as she’s approaching Usagi Senshi! SHE PULLS HARPER CLOSER TO HER AS SPRINGBOARDS HERSELF OFF OUR TABLE, USES THE EDGE OF THE APRON TO TURN HERSELF AROUND, AND CONNECTS WITH A TORNADO DDT! USAGI FINDS HERSELF IN A SEATED POSITION! SHE GETS TO HER FEET AS SHE GETS A FISTFUL OF HARPER LEE’S HAIR! SHE APPROACHES THE EDGE OF THE APRON AS SHE SLAMS HARPER FOREHEAD FIRST AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE APRON! BUT, YOU CAN SEE THAT USAGI STILL HAS POSSESSION OF HARPER’S HAIR AS SHE SLAMS HER AGAIN AND AGAIN ON THE EDGE OF THE APRON! HARPER FALLS BACK IN RESPONSE TO ALL OF THAT!
Deadprez: Usagi Senshi gets Harper Lee and rolls her back inside the ring. Usagi rolls herself back inside the ring as she begins to back her way back into one of the corners! Usagi is gesturing for Harper to get back to her feet! Slowly, you can see Harper trying to get back to her feet – ‘Fatality!’
Gavin Kirkland: NO! HARPER LEE COUNTERS WITH A BIG BOOT AS THAT TAKES USAGI SENSHI TO THE MAT! STILL, YOU CAN SEE THAT HARPER IS TRYING TO REGAIN SOME OF HER STRENGTH! SHE GETS USAGI BY THE LEG AND IT SEEMS LIKE HARPER IS GOING TO APPLY THE CALF CRUSHER! ‘DEVIL’S FRUIT’ IS LOOKING TO BE LOCKED IN, BUT USAGI IS TRYING TO WIGGLE HERSELF OUT OF THE MOVE! BUT, HARPER BEGINS TO STOMP ON THE SPINE OF ’THE CRYPTIC ACE’ BEFORE APPLYING THE ‘DEVIL’S FRUIT!’ THE SUBMISSION HOLD IS LOCKED IN AS USAGI FINDS HERSELF IN SOME TROUBLE!
Eve: Usagi Senshi is trying to reach for that bottom rope! Ayu Megumi is trying to grasp onto her partner near those same bottom ropes! Usagi is crying out in pain as she’s looking at Ayu Megumi! The two of them are looking at one another! It almost seems like Ayu is trying to give out some of her energy to Usagi! Ayu is beginning to clap and right away, the EAW Universe begins to clap along with her, encouraging Usagi to get herself out of this situation! The whole EAW Universe is behind Usagi in this match as Harper Lee is shaking her head no! She knows that Usagi can’t find a way to make a comeback in this match! That could mean trouble for the Specialists Champion!
Deadprez: Usagi Senshi is beginning to drag her body towards that bottom rope! She is literally digging her nails against the canvas, using it to pull herself closer! Still, you can see some effort in Harper trying to keep the ‘Devil’s Fruit’ on! But, the strength and determination of Usagi Senshi is something that should be noticed in this match-up! She’s getting closer and closer into those ropes! She’s inching closer as –
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: HARPER LEE PULLS USAGI SENSHI AWAY FROM THOSE BOTTOM ROPES! YOU CAN SEE THE DEFEATED LOOK ON AYU MEGUMI’S FACE! BUT, YOU CAN SEE THAT USAGI IS TRYING TO ROLL HERSELF TO HER BACK! SHE’S USING HER AVAILABLE FOOT TO KICK HARPER AWAY FROM HER! BUT, HARPER MANAGES TO GET A GRASP OF USAGI’S AVAILABLE FOOT! SHE HAS POSSESSION OF BOTH THE FEET OF USAGI AS SHE HAS HER BACK TURNED AGAINST ONE OF THE TURNBUCKLES! OH GOD, THIS ISN’T GOING TO BE GOOD?
Eve: HARPER LEE CATAPULTS USAGI SENSHI TO THE TURNBUCKLE –
Deadprez: – Usagi Senshi jumps on the turnbuckle! But, you can see that Harper Lee is trying to lift Usagi in a backslide pin position! Harper is trying to hook Usagi by her elbows and take her down, but Usagi is trying to keep her feet to the top turnbuckle! SLOWLY, YOU CAN SEE HARPER TRYING TO YANK USAGI AWAY FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS SHE HAS USAGI IN A BACKSLIDE PIN! IS HARPER GOING TO GET THE VICTORY HERE?!?!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Usagi Senshi gets herself out of the backslide pin! The two women find themselves at their feet, but Harper connects a step-up knee strike as she knocks Usagi against the perpendicular set of ropes! Harper charges towards Usagi to the ropes with a knee strike, but Usagi uses all of Harper’s momentum and lifts her out of the ring! BUT, HARPER CATCHES HERSELF ON THE APRON AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A RIGHT HOOK, THE ‘DRAGON FIST’ TO THE FACE OF USAGI! THIS CAUSES USAGI TO STAGGER BACK AS HARPER BEGINS TO MAKE HER WAY TO THE TOP ROPE!
Eve: Harper Lee is looking at Usagi Senshi as she flies from the top rope! Diving crossbody on one-half of The Ice Aces!
Deadprez: NO! USAGI SENSHI MANAGES TO CATCH HARPER LEE AS SHE PLACES HER ON HER SHOULDERS! ‘CRITICAL DARLING,’ – THE SAMOAN DRIVER CONNECTS ON HARPER AS USAGI GOES FOR THE COVER! IS SHE GOING TO GET A VICTORY OVER THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!?!?!?
OOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTT–
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee gets a shoulder up! Usagi Senshi clutches her fist as she finds her way to her feet! I think that Usagi is looking to wrap up this match-up! She is gesturing for Harper to get her way back to her feet! Harper is slowly rising to her feet as Usagi runs towards her! ‘Fatality’ on Harper, but Harper ducks before getting Usagi into position for a standing Spanish fly! Harper with the cover!
OOOOOONNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Eve: Usagi Senshi with the kick out! Harper Lee gets a fistful of Usagi’s hair and tries to get her to her feet! BUT, YOU CAN SEE THAT USAGI IS TRYING TO GET A GOOD CLUTCH OF HARPER’S ARM! SHE IS SPINNING HARPER AROUND, TRYING TO GAIN POSSESSION OF THE ARM AS SHE GETS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION DOWN! THE CROSSFACE! SHE’S TRYING TO APPLY A CROSSFACE ON HARPER! BUT HARPER IS ABLE TO ROLL HERSELF AND GET HER FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! USAGI RELEASES THE HOLD AS SHE FINDS HER WAY TO HER FEET! HARPER GETS TO HER FEET SHORTLY AFTER, BUT –
Deadprez: Usagi Senshi stops Harper Lee with a forearm smash! Then, she adds on to the attack by connecting with a European uppercut! Then, she nails Harper with a spinning backfist before topping it off with a roundhouse kick! ‘The Elite Combo’ is taken to Harper Lee! The roundhouse kick takes the champion to her back as Usagi is on fire right now! Usagi gets the ‘Woman Without Fear’ and applies the armbar on her! Usagi has the armbar locked in as Harper is trying to get herself out of the move!
Gavin Kirkland: USAGI SENSHI IS PULLING BACK ON HARPER LEE’S LEFT ARM, TRYING TO TAKE HER AWAY FROM THOSE ROPES AGAIN, BUT HARPER TRIES TO REACH OVER TOWARDS USAGI, COUNTERING HER ARMBAR WITH A ROLL UP! IS HARPER GOING TO SNEAK AWAY WITH THE VICTORY HERE?!?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Eve: NO! USAGI SENSHI MANAGES TO PUSH HARPER LEE AWAY FROM HER AS APPLIES THE ARMBAR AGAIN! THIS TIME, IT SEEMS LIKE USAGI IS KICKING IN THE SKULL OF THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! IS SHE GOING TO FORCE FOR HARPER TO SUBMIT IN THIS FASHION? Harper is trying to roll her body to the bottom rope! One of those kicks is going to end up passing her out and that’s not something that Harper needs to have happened a week before King of Elite! But, you can still see that Usagi is going haywire with those kicks!
Deadprez: Harper Lee has her leg on the bottom rope! Harper has her leg on the bottom rope! It seemed like the frantic kicking of Usagi Senshi, allowed for her grasp to loosen a bit, allowing Harper to adjust herself and get her foot on the bottom rope! Usagi releases the grasp, knowing that the referee was going to make his count! Usagi is stalking the Specialists Champion up to her feet as –
Gavin Kirkland: ‘FATALITY’ ON HARPER LEE AS THAT KNOCKS HER OUT! 
Eve: Harper Lee rolls herself out of the ring to prevent Usagi Senshi from getting the count! Wonderful ring awareness from the Specialists Champion, but you can tell that the EAW Universe and The Ice Aces are annoyed that Harper did that! Harper just saved her chances in this match-up! Usagi rolls herself out of the ring to retrieve Harper! Usagi really needs to get Harper back inside the ring and pin her! Usagi goes to pick up Harper –
Deadprez: Harper Lee drops down! At this point of the match, I don’t see why it won’t be tough to pick up someone like Harper and roll her back inside the ring! She goes to pick up Harper again, but just like the first time, Harper drops down! Harper is the lighter woman out of the two, but there’s about a ten-pound difference between these two women! On top of that, there’s this pressure that Usagi really needs to make an impression up against the Specialists Champion and prove that she could hold her own against a champion in Harper’s caliber!
Gavin Kirkland: You can tell that there’s clearly a struggle with getting Harper Lee back inside the ring. Usagi Senshi manages to get the other woman on the apron. Usagi joins Harper on the apron as she takes a couple of steps back. She has her eyes set on Harper Lee, who is slowly making her way up to her knees! USAGI BLASTS A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE, TAKING THE CHAMPION TO HER BACK! HARPER DOES USAGI’S JOB FOR HER AND ROLLS HERSELF BACK INTO THE RING! MEANWHILE, USAGI ENTERS THE RING AGAIN AND GOES FOR THE COVER ON HARPER! IS THIS GOING TO BE IT HERE?!?!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHH–
Eve: HARPER LEE WITH A SHOULDER UP! Usagi Senshi is looking at the referee all baffled, but somehow, Harper Lee manages to live on in this match! Usagi is looking at Ayu Megumi at ringside. Not much is being said between the two of them, but Usagi gets the idea of what she’s going to need to do next! Usagi hoists Harper up in a powerbomb position!
Deadprez: HARPER LEE SHOWS SOME FIGHT AS SHE THROWS SOME PUNCHES TO THE TOP OF USAGI SENSHI’S HEAD! I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT WE’RE STILL SEEING SOME SIGN OF HARPER IN THIS MATCH! SHE TOOK A ROUGH KNEE STRIKE IN THE LAST SEVERAL MINUTES, SO IT WAS REALLY UP IN THE AIR IF WE WERE GOING TO SEE HER PUT UP MUCH FIGHT, BUT HARPER IS BRINGING THE FIGHT TO USAGI! This causes for Usagi to bring Harper down! Usagi runs towards the Specialists Champion with a clothesline, but Harper ducks the clothesline before springboarding herself off the set of ropes and connecting with a springboard roundhouse kick as that takes Usagi down!
Gavin Kirkland: You can still that Harper Lee is still finding some strength to continue this match up, but she manages to make it up to a vertical base! BEFORE USAGI CAN FIND HERSELF TO HER FEET, HARPER STOPS HER WITH A SUPERKICK! THE SUPERKICK CAUSES FOR USAGI TO FIND HERSELF IN A SEATED POSITION AS HARPER CHARGES TOWARDS USAGI, CONNECTING WITH A METEORA! Harper throws some punches to one-half of The Ice Aces before getting herself to her feet! I think that Harper has ending this match up on her mind! What is she going to delight with us tonight?
Eve: HARPER LEE HELPS USAGI SENSHI UP TO HER FEET BEFORE STANDING BEHIND HER! HARPER WITH ‘HOUSE OF BALLOONS!’ THIS IS HER VERSION OF THE BACKSTABBER AS IT TAKES DOWN USAGI SENSHI! HARPER GOES FOR THE COVER! IS THIS GOING TO BE IT?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Sweet Dreams” plays through the speakers again as the crowd reacts in massive boos. Harper Lee has a huge smile on her face. She’s tired, but she’s happy that she’s won.)
Gina Romano: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION…HARPER LEE!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Harper Lee pulls this match off by defeating Usagi Senshi, but there was a ton of fight by Usagi who I thought had all the capability to pull off an upset.
Gavin Kirkland: Usagi Senshi should be proud of the performance she pulled off. I don’t think that many people expect her to go into the match, guns blazing at the Specialists Champion! That took a lot of guts and while it didn’t work out for her in the end, it got people to notice her.
Eve: I hope that ARIA is watching that match because that is who she’s going to be dealing with one week from now at King of Elite.
(The promotional banner for Harper Lee versus ARIA is shown on the bottom part of the screen. The camera pans to Ayu Megumi helping Usagi Senshi up to her feet. Usagi is clearly disappointed in herself but allows Ayu to pick her up. Then, we focus on Harper in the ring as she raises the Specialists Championship high in the air.)
Deadprez: Harper Lee is ready for ARIA, but is ARIA ready for Harper Lee? That’s going to be the question that we’re going to be seeing at King of Elite!
(The scene fades to the last commercial break of the night.)
(Eventually, as the commercial break comes to a close, the camera would return to the broadcast, whilst panning around the blue-lit arena, along the rows of audience members that completely fill the Fiserv Forum into the thousands. Not long ago they had just witnessed a fantastic main event, and they appear burnt out. They appear to be tired, but they know that more is to come, and thus, they remain excited. Excited for what’s up next, and soon they would figure out what it actually is. The camera cuts to Gina Romano standing at ringside, holding an EAW branded microphone.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and Gentlemen… THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION —
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Gina Romano: ‘KING’ KAAAAAAASSSSSSIIIIIIIIIDY HEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART!!!!!!!!!
(‘Monster’ by Kanye West would blare through the speakers, as the entire audience would erupt into a loud chorus of hate-filled boos, as the only woman to win King of Elite walks out through the curtains, Answers World Championship around her waist. The second Kassidy Heart walks onto the stage, it’s obvious by her expression that the opinion of the audience really doesn’t bother her. It doesn’t get to her head just like absolutely everybody wishes it did because that’s why people boo – to get people mad. Kassidy Heart, however, more than likely hears ringing. At least, that’s what it could be comparable to. Nothing more than a distraction. Whilst she ignores the crowd, Kassidy Heart makes her way down to the bottom of the ramp.)
Gavin Kirkland: Fuck Kassidy, let’s talk about Kanye! Team Davidson or Team West?
Eve: Wha–
Deadprez: Davidson.
Gavin Kirkland: Mid-
Eve: AHEM. Sigh. As it should have been said, here comes none other than the Answers World Champion, as today marks her 309th day as Champion. That… is absolutely insane. Kassidy is a damn history maker. No matter what brand, what opponent, Kassidy Heart has the unnatural ability to turn it into her favor regardless of the stakes. I’m someone who would, personally, consider her the greatest Champion in the past 10 years. Perhaps the history of this company. Because regardless of how I feel about her personally, or how even you feel Gavin, Kassidy is undoubtedly in contendership for that role. To be called the greatest, and she has definitely earned it. We’ve gone through hours of wrestling, and because of what she has earned, we’re all going to sit here and listen to what she has to say. That… says something.
(Kassidy Heart reaches the bottom of the ramp, before coming to a stop. She looks around the arena, before unhooking the belt from around her waist. Following a moment of raising it high in the air, Kassidy places the title over her shoulder, before hooking it again – making it much easier to stay in place – before she then moves over towards the steel steps. Walking up them, Kassidy enters the ring, for the final time ahead of King of Elite. The final time before her first defense of the year. Kass heads to the corner, and grabs a mic.)
Kassidy Heart: What defines a “last stand?” A last stand is where you stand in the face of virtually insurmountable odds, regardless of the outcome. A last stand is where you stand in front of danger, despite it being almost inevitable that you’re going to lose. If you all want the utmost fucking transparency, a last stand is what would’ve happened if I *wasn’t* the King of Elite. If I wasn’t the King of this entire fucking company. If I wasn’t the only woman to tame Gawd. One year ago, if I hadn’t defeated TLA and Xander Payne, what I’ve done for this industry would be nil. Would not exist. Would be a dream in my own head. But that’s one big hyperbole, one big “if”, and that last stand is one big “if” also… if we were to ever apply it to Kassidy Heart. But right now, we’re not doing that, whatsoever. Not in the slightest. And if you don’t realize how true it’s going to be, open your ears, and fucking LISTEN. I’m about to tell everyone another thing that will, eventually, just become another undeniable fact. *Just another accomplishment under my belt, and more trauma for the rest of my challengers.*
Kassidy Heart: That hypothetical “last stand” is nothing less than a bonafide fact when applied to TLA. This is his last stand, in worse ways than bad. He’s squaring off against the one woman he has been unable to defeat for beyond a calendar year. A woman who has had a historic reign, that is guaranteed to be legendary for the rest of time. *It will become folklore for future generations.* I stand here unchanged, unharmed, unbeaten. Jamie O’Hara, Impact, and Theron Nikolas have all fallen at my feet. Legend, after legend, on their knees with a snap of my fingers, just as I have done numerous times before I ever faced TLA. Now, he once again finds himself in the exact same position as he did at Midsummer Massacre, in the exact same position he did a full calendar year prior to this moment. What it takes to actually win is insufferable to TLA here, and always has been insufferable to him. And sooner, rather than later, I hope he realizes this before he makes failed attempt, after failed attempt, just so he can end up falling at my feet like the others, nothing but ash.
(Kassidy Heart would stare down the hard cam, as the entire crowd begins to boo relentlessly. They’re almost unable to let her get any sense of moral victory, as almost following every word they attempt to butt in with a boo or a jeer. However, those boos wouldn’t last forever, as when Kassidy Heart opens her mouth, about to speak, ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac blares through the speakers, with the crowd giving TLA a huge welcoming as per usual. Walking out in a full-white suit, TLA would already have a microphone in hand. He smirks at Kassidy, before beginning to talk on the ramp.)
TLA: Kassidy, Kassidy Kassidy. We don’t need to hear any more of this, ¿me sientes? We don’t need to hear any more of this “I beat TLA last year!” cuz amiga, it doesn’t work out so well for you. Not this time. You and I both know that if I even want this match ser un empate, to be a tie, to get us cuello y cuello, I have to *beat* you. And that is the minimum amount I am doing, ¿comprendida? We gonna see that you just as unstoppable as Jamie O’Hara during his tiempo bajo el sol. We gonna see you just as unstoppable as Xavier Willians during his very own reino del terror. Hell, mi señora, you just as unstoppable as DaDEDEDE is after a long day out with the boats ‘n’ hoes, he ain’t dura tanto with you. But that’s okay, Kass, it really is, ‘cuz you had your time, you had your moments. Hell, people thought you were imbatible. It’s a good feat to have… but come King of Elite imma treat you like Batman without plot armor. You going from a king to mi perra… *my bitch.*
(TLA climbs up onto the apron, holding the microphone in hand still, before entering the ring and standing across from Kass…)
TLA: ‘Cuz at King of Elite… you can’t stop the inevitable no more, propiedad de la calle, ‘cuz I got three falls to do it. We ain’t gon mess around with the mierda like 5 other competitors, nor a gimp knee – even though Daddy Gawd probably *loves* you in a gimp *mask*, perra rubia – we just going straight down to ‘biz. Just as I did with our buen amigo Hurricane Hawk. Last week, you done broke that rule by slapping me. You coulda taken the foolish way out of our ‘lil partido de título by doing that, but you lucky that my kind soul had the energy to forgive you, azada tonta, but there’s no thank you’s needed :lick:. I coulda let that title get stripped away from you no questions asked, but this hombre talked him out of it…
Kassidy Heart: Like that would have worked, I am good with the owner, remember?
(Cutting him off, TLA just chuckles.)
TLA: Orale, still, I wouldn’t want to ruin the moment. I’m sure you can appreciate that, si? Una campeona como tú quiere que le golpeen el culo, ¿verdad? A champion like you wants their reign to end in *defeat*? :lick:
(TLA is obviously trying to get on her nerves, and momentarily, Kassidy Heart is able to keep her cool. She goes to lift her microphone up…)
***THUD!!!!***
(TLA slaps the microphone out of her hand!)
Eve: Oh no, TLA… that’s not the best decision to make right now. Especially not against someone like Kassidy Heart! TLA has a smug grin on his face, probably too smug, as Kassidy Heart slowly looks up at him! TLA pats his cheek, inviting a slap, and Kassidy Heart is never going to turn an opportunity like that down… AS SHE RAISES HER HAND!
(But suddenly…)
???: STOP!
(Just before Kassidy Heart is able to clip TLA on the jaw, she would be interrupted, as none other than the Showdown General Manager Hurricane Hawk is seen walking onto the stage. By the looks of things, he was hanging around backstage, ready to intervene, and the second he saw the commotion, he knew he was needed. With a frustrated expression plastered across his face, he struts down the ramp, before sliding into the ring.)
Hurricane Hawk: Just stop, Kass. I get it, TLA is getting on your nerves, whatever – I am NOT having another show like how Showdown ended before Road To Redemption, and I do NOT want a repeat of that shitshow you caused. You’re out of fucking control, and that’s the LAST thing you want to happen. I won’t *hesitate* to get you tasered again, even if NEITHER of us wants to be that the case. So instead of beating the shit out of TLA, or allowing him to try and do the same to you, and ending the go-home show with a big fucking brawl, put your hand by your side and actually follow some orders for fucking once!
(Hurricane Hawk stares directly at Kassidy Heart, with fire in his eyes…)
Hurricane Hawk: What *I* want is a great match between the both of you. I want you to trump Dynasty, destroy Voltage, and show that we have the best main event scene in the entire company, and we’re not going to get that done by having an incident here. This is settled in the ring, during a match. Not a minute before we go off air.
(Kassidy Heart stares Hawk back, standing her ground… until…)
Kassidy Heart: I agree. No, seriously, I–
Eve: WHAT THE HELL, KASS, NO! KASSIDY HEART JUST STRUCK HURRICANE HAWK SO HARD HE FELL BACKWARDS ONTO THE MAT!
(Hawk looks shocked, up at Kass.)
Eve: WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! TLA ISN’T GOING TO STAND FOR THIS! HE RAISES A FIST–
Hurricane Hawk: DID YOU NOT HEAR WHAT I JUST SAID!?!?!? NO!
(Hawk slowly gets up off the ground, dusting himself off… he stares at Kass, who smiles, and holds the Answers World Championship in their faces.)
Kassidy Heart: You’re right, we can’t stop the inevitable…
(…)
Kassidy Heart: Because **I** am inevitable.
(Kassidy drops the microphone before raising the AWC even higher. She goes face-to-face with both her opponent and the general manager, before Hawk places an arm in front of TLA, making him step back toward the ropes… Kassidy stands in the center of the ring, before the broadcast fades out…)
