(EAW Intro plays…)
(RECAP–The recap replays the exciting events that occurred last Saturday at Showdown’s Dead Men Tell No Tales Event in the AccorHotels Arena in Paris, France. In the opening contest, Mary S. Atlas defied the odds as she defeated all three members of the Triangle of Terror in a ladder match to earn herself a unique opportunity with a little help from Hunnid Honcho. After the match, Honcho found out he would be part of a New Breed Showcase match at Territorial Invasion. The next match saw Alex Myers successfully defend their New Breed Championship against a game Abel Atami. Then Kyra Phillips interviews the Showdown Anarchy in the Arena team before a brawl ensues between Showdown and Dynasty. Next, we have Donovan Duke successfully defending his National Elite Championship against a very determined Jon Kelton. The next contest saw Charlie Marr with Veena Adams in his corner successfully defeating Roberto de la Rosa with Esmeralda in his corner and retaining his Hardcore Championship. Then the fans are treated to a recap of Showdown’s Brand Warfare team trying to do some team building as they all go play some Putt-Putt. After that we have The Prescription successfully defending the Unified Tag Titles against Lexi and Ryan Wilson. After the match, Showdown and Voltage’s Brand Warfare teams end up in a brawl with Voltage standing tall. Then Kassidy Heart and Impact talk to Heidi Huxley in her office. Finally, in the main event, Showdown’s first ever Davy Jones Locker match is contested as as the recap ends…)
(“Brick Wall” by A Day to Remember plays throughout the arena while the camera pans across an energetic German crowd, who are on their feet at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany for the action of the Blue Brand of Elite Answers Wrestling. It is almost deafening in the arena as the camera takes its time going throughout the arena showing all the loyal and devoted EAW fans in attendance that are all through sold out arena holding up their many many signs and wearing the shirts and other merchandise of the many EAW Elitists before settling down at ringside where Eve, Deadprez, and Gavin Kirkland are sitting at the commentary table ready to call all the amazing Showdown action.)
Deadprez: We are on the heels of an amazing Dead Men Tell No Tales event. Ladies and gentlemen, this is SATURDAY! NIGHT! SHOWDOWN! We are live from beautiful Berlin, Germany and the Mercedes-Benz Arena. I am Deadprez and alongside my broadcast colleagues Gavin Kirkland and Eve, we will be here calling all the amazing Blue Brand Action!
Gavin Kirkland: WE WRESTLE, BABY!!! We are on our way to Territorial Invasion and I could not be more excited about our chances to sweep the Interbrand matches. We will be hearing from both our Brand Warfare and our Anarchy in the Arena teams tonight. They are all on the same page and that can easily spell doom for Voltage and Dynasty.
Eve: I’ve also got word that we will also be hearing from the Triangle of Terror about what happened at Dead Men Tell No Tales. I’ve also found out that the young lady who beat all three of them, Mary S. Atlas, will finally find out what her Unique Opportunity will be. I bet she is excited.
Deadprez: Speaking of excitement, we have Mikaela Street sitting down with “The Mauler” herself, Kassidy Heart. Can’t wait to hear that interview. Plus we will also be hearing from the Answers World Champion Impact as well as his challenger Jack Ripley throughout the evening. That situation will no doubt be heating up.
Gavin Kirkland: With all that, we can’t forget about the MATCHES!!! We have Abel Atami looking to get back to his winning ways with Antonne Prudence in his corner as he takes on #Follow4Follow Hunnid Honcho as Honcho prepares for Territorial Invasion.
Eve: We also have a member of the Triangle of Terror, Komatsu Ogawa, in action as he takes on the Universal Women’s Champion Harper Lee. Ogawa could show he’s a force to be reckoned with here or will this just be a tune up match for Harper Lee as she gets ready to face the challenge of Holly Arrow.
Deadprez: In our main event, Brand Warfare come early. Interbrand action as Voltage’s MarrKade, Charlie Marr and Daryl Kinkade, take on Showdown’s Team Dysfunction in Ryan Wilson and Lexi. Voltage’s Brand Warfare team attacked and left Showdown’s team laying last week. Will Voltage get another one up on Showdown or will Showdown’s newfound teamwork lead them to get some revenge. What a match this will be! Right now let’s take it to the ring as it seems like the Answers World Champion Impact looks to kick off Showdown.
(The camera cuts to tGina Romano in the ring)
Gina Romano: GERMANY! PLEASE WELCOME YOUR ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION….. IMPACT!!!
(“M3tamorphosis” – Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi starts to play throughout the arena as the German crowd rains boos all over Impact as he walks out, looking around, the Answers World Championship over his shoulder.)
Deadprez: Here comes the Answers World Champion, I am sure he has a lot to talk about and with Jack Ripley as the next challenger, but what about this partnership with Kassidy Heart?
Eve: We also heard last week how they had no confidence in Hurricane Hawk.
Gavin Kirkland: He’s the World Champion and can do whatever he wants!
(Impact makes it to the ring, he glares out to the crowd with mic in hand before speaking….)
Impact: Pipe down Germany and cut my music.
(The German crowd boos loudly as Impact cracks a smirk, looking around before he walks over to the ropes and leans against them proudly holding the Championship.)
Impact: Let me get Jack Ripley out of the way really quick. Jack, you are good, Hall of Fame caliber, one of the best technical wrestlers in the world. We co-existed last week, we did exactly what this team set out to do, now we get down to business and face each other. At Territorial Invasion I’m going to walk out as the Champion, there is no question about it, you have never been able to be that guy but for a period of a month and the only person you could beat in defending it was Bronson Daniels. Honestly, Jack while I know how much you want this belt to define your legacy? It belongs around MY waist. I know that people want to tell stories about how Impact was washed up, look at this renaissance now Jack? Ten times…. TEN and no one can even remember your one.
(The crowd boos, Impact looks around and this time he laughs it off.)
Impact: I know how bad you want this, I take that back, I don’t because I have never been that desperate to know but I can assure you this, that when it is all over, much like your failure to lead Team Dynasty last year? That will be the same feeling that you have yet again. But I will have more to say about Jack throughout the week leading into London, but for now let’s talk about Hurricane Hawk. Heidi Huxley, I know that you are listening in the back because you’re a smart woman. Everyone wants to know what my relationship is with Kassidy Heart. Isn’t it obvious? Yes the two of us have gone to war and I know how badly she wants the Answers World Championship. Who doesn’t? If you are on Showdown and do NOT want this title I hold right now, then just quit. Kassidy and I though have a lot of moving parts. We have people outside of us tow that are friends, Sienna and Kassidy teamed for a very long time, I was the partner of Mr. DEDEDE, it’s not like there isn’t an obvious reason why.
(Pausing for a second, Impact faces the camera….)
Impact: We are stronger together. And that really leads me into what I need to talk about and Heidi, while you are watching the monitor in the back, you need to listen carefully. Hurricane Hawk isn’t going to be the vision Disney wants. He is very unprofessional, doesn’t care about anyone but himself, if you want to know anything about some behavior that Disney would not approve of, just look at his history with the Ava’s. Hurricane Hawk as the General Manager is a detriment to this sport and especially the Blue Brand. What are you going to do if this continues to happen and your boss, bosses boss etcetera come down the pike and then start looking to see if it is you that can handle the job or not? He has already proven that he can’t lead, he loses control every single week, Heidi to the point that he has to hit the reset button and yell at the Elitists. Think about this for a second Heidi, and for all the other Elitists out there, what benefit do we have from Hurricane Hawk?
(As the crowd boos, Impact starts pacing the ring, he then stops in the middle of it, his eyes slowly narrow….)
Impact: Hawk, you have had a season and a half recently to make things better. For every good thing that happened there was like 10 bad ones. At what point are you going to realize that this is not it? You don’t get it, man but you soon will because I am not the only who feels that way. Look at your decisions lately, what you have tried to do that have become nothing more than a safety issue and created a very toxic and hostile environment at the workplace, where is EAW HR? And now it comes to this. People are going to start wondering what will happen come Territorial Invasion and Heidi? If Showdown ultimately fails like they did last year? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing for the Blue Brand? I would think so.
(Impact pauses, the crowd is jeering as he slowly says one more thing….)
Impact: But as of right now? I give a vote OF NO CONFIDENCE TO OUR GENERAL MANAGER… HURRICANE HAWK!
(Dropping the mic with a loud thud, “M3tamorphosis” – Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi starts to play throughout the arena, the hot crowd is screaming boos as Impact smirks and starts to make his way out of the arena. The camera cuts to the back where it shows Heidi Huxley watching the monitor and turning to Hurricane Hawk who looks furious.)
Deadprez: I don’t know what Impact wanted to accomplish from that, but has he planted the seeds of doubt in the locker room and in the main office!?
Eve: It looks like he has, Prez and how will Hurricane Hawk and Heidi Huxley handle this?
Gavin Kirkland: Can they> No confidence? Ouch!
(Impact continues to walk toward the back holding the championship as it fades into an ad for Territorial Invasion.)
(The camera fades back to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and Gentlemen, the opening contest is scheduled FOR!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Gina Romano: With a 20-minute time limit!
( ‘9 5. South’ by J. Cole plays throughout the arena as Abel Atami makes his way up to the stage with his manager, Antonne Prudence on his side to a negative reaction from the crowd. Abel ignores the reaction as both of them make their way down to the ring while Atami motions a belt gesture at his waist level to the camera. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!!!! Accompanied to the ring by Antonne Prudence. From Upolu, Samoa! Weighing in at 252 pounds!!!!! ABELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ATAMIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: The man last week had a great opportunity to put a title on his shoulder as he faced Alex Myers for the New Breed Champion during Dead Men Tell No Tales!
Gavin Kirkland: He didn’t leave Paris with the win, however, he has shown what he was made of having been really close to actually realizing his goal!
Eve: Tonight, he faces a man of similar size as him, two powerhouses in the ring this should be explosive!
(‘No Auto Dirk’ by Lil Durk hits as Hunnid comes out clapping his head and bopping his head to his theme. Honcho comes out to the stage casually dancing along to his theme as the crowd cheers and boos. Honcho makes his way into the ring and takes off his beanie and valuables jewelry as he awaits his opponent.)
Gina Romano: And His Opponent! From Chicago, Illinois! Weighing in at 345 pounds! He is the Holler of the Streets: HUNNID HONCHOOOOOOOOOO
Deadprez: Here comes the big man! The lyrical miracle is ready to lay some tracks on Abel . Atami!
Gavin Kirkland: You don’t make any sense Deadprez! Last week, Hunnid won against Lucas Johnson. By disqualification perhaps but I doubt the man cares.
Eve: A win is a win gentlemen and victory for Honcho means more follows!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Deadprez: AND HERE WE GO! THIS MATCH IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY! Both men are moving to the center of the ring they are staring at each other with Honcho throwing some high level trash talk to Abel’s face who doesn’t seem like he gives much foxes about his opponent’s attempt at verbal int-
Gavin Kirkland: Did you actually say not giving a fox right about now? Really Deadprez?
Eve: Nothing wrong with that is it? Abel is like a stone statue, not giving an inch of a response no reaction whatsoever to Hunnid who looks like he could continue to foul mouth Atami until the end of the show and more BEFORE THROWING A SUDDEN HEADBUTT AT HUNNID AND RESUME HIS CROSSED ARMS POSITION! Hunnid takes a singular step back, he stopped talking!
Deadprez: AND HE THROWS A HEADBUTT OF HIS OWN! Atami similarly to his opponent only takes a step back from the hit and stands his ground before suddenly both men locks-up and a power struggle begin! Both men not giving an inch to the other but Able manages to get the upper hand at the moment with a headlock which is reversed rapidly by Hunnid!
Gavin Kirkland: Abel is stuck in a wristlock before leaning forward for a headlock by Honcho BUT ABEL SUDDENLY LIFTS HIM OFF THE GROUND AND THROWS HIM INTO A CORNER!!! WOAAAHH WHAT A DISPLAY OF STRENGTH!! THE MAN JUST LIFTED 350 POUNDS OF HONCHO AND THREW HIM LIKE IT WAS NOTHING!! Hunnid claps a little bit, looking a tad surprised but he’s smiling while Abel is still stoic.
Eve: The two locks up once again AND HUNNID DOESN’T WASTE A SECOND HE RETURNS THE FAVOR TO ABEL AND THROWS HIM INTO A CORNER HIMSELF FROM THE CLINCHED POSITION!!! Hot DAMN!!!! Hunnid is flexing in a taunting manner as Abel looks up towards his opponent. Meanwhile, outside of the ring, we have Antonne who’s screaming about injustice or something.
Deadprez: Look at Hunnid he’s moving to stand right above where Prudence is.
Hunnid Honcho: Shut the Fuck UP YO!
Crowd: SHUT THE FUCK UP! *Clap! Clap! CLAPCLAPCLAP!* SHUT THE FUCK UP! *Clap! Clap! CLAPCLAPCLAP!* SHUT THE FUCK UP! *Clap! Clap! CLAPCLAPCLAP!*
Eve: Prudence seems to not enjoy having a capacity crowd telling him how they feel.
Deadprez: I won’t lie, I kind of like it.
Gavin Kirkland: Meanwhile Atami is trying to gain advantage from this and he does as he throws an elbow to the back of Hunnid followed by a few more! Honcho leans against the ropes before being grabbed, spun, and whipped into the ropes! Atami waits for him with a shoulder block BUT HUNNI DOESN’T DROP! Both men stare at each other! Atami bounces to the ropes trying to clothesline Honcho but the man doesn’t budge!
Deadprez: Honcho tries the same, going to the ropes for a hit but Atami stands his ground like a rock! These two are showing off tonight folks. NOW BOTH OF THEM ARE INTO THE ROPES AND HUNNI HAS THE UPPER HAND WITH A RUNNING POWER SLAM!!!
Eve: But look at Abel quickly getting up!
Gavin Kirkland: This is an impressive display of power by those two athletes what else are they going to have to put on display in order to get the up on the other! Abel goes for a punch that lands on Hunnid which is returned back to Atami by Honcho! And now the two of them are throwing haymakers at one another! Abel! Hunnid! Atami! Honcho! Lefts and Rights!
Deadprez: And Hunni with a knee to the gut of Abel AND LIFTS HIM UP OVER HIS HEAD!!! But Atami manages to free himself, landing behind Honcho who turns around AND GETS PICKED UP AS WELL!!! AND HE SLAMS HIM DOWN!!
Eve: Hunni moves back to his feet after a short moment, taken down by Atami with a clothesline but as he goes vertical again Atami tries for a straight kick to the gut GRABBED by Honcho! The Rapper spins Atami around AND THROWS AN ELBOW TO THE BACK OF ABEL’S HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: Irish whip by Hunni sends Atami to a corner. Honcho goes for a big splash as he charges but Able moves aside AND GRABS HONCHO IN A HUG AND SENDS HIM FOR A RIDE WITH A PICTURE PERFECT GERMAN SUPLEX!
Eve: Abel Atami looks to be starting to gather some momentum right now against his opponent BUT Honcho throws a quick thumb to his eye of Abel blinding him temporarily. The official doesn’t look pleased as Hunnid plays it as if didn’t do it but moves quickly upon Abel NAILING HIM ACROSS THE FACE WITH A BIG BOOT!
Gavin Kirkland: That thing could knock teeth! Abel is down and Hunnid follows with a standing senton that lands atop of his foe, he quickly gets up, goes to the ropes, and LANDS ATOP OF ATAMI WITH A RUNNING SPLASH! HE HOOKS THE LEGS!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: And Abel kicks out only after one! Hunnid has his work cut out for him tonight he will need to do a whole lot more in order to leave Germany with the victory! Moving to fet Atami standing Honcho throws a few wave punches to him before sending the big man to the ropes AND NAILS HIM WITH THE CHIRAQLINE!!
Gavin Kirkland: What an hellacious clothesline that takes down Atami but the former contender for the New Breed Championship is not pacified he is getting up but gets a boot to the gut shortly after! Leaning forward Atami is grabbed by Honcho AND HOISTED UP!! HOLY SCHNAPPS HONCHO HAS ATAMI IN A POWERBOMB AND HE DROPS IT DOWN!!! THE RING QUAKES FROM THE WEIGHT AND IMPACT!!
Eve: COVE AGAIN BY HONCHO!!! NO! ABEL kicked out and rolls out of the ring holding his back from the pain of the move he just suffered at the hands of one of EAW’s latest signings!
Deadprez: Honcho doesn’t want to give a break to Atami who moves outside of the ring BUT Antonne Prudence stands between him and his target! From inside the ring the official orders the action to return inside the squared circle!
Gavin Kirkland: Honcho shoves Prudence away BUT ATAMI WAS RIGHT BEHIND HIM AND RAMMED HUNNID INTO THE RING APRON!! He quickly then sends Honcho against the nearest piller cor-NO HUNNID REVERSED IT AND ABEL KISSES STEAL!!! DOWN HE GOES LOOKING LIKE HE’S SEEING STARS!!!!
Hunnid Honcho: FOLLOW FOR FOLLOW!!!!!
( Some of the crowd follows along repeating the three words but most of the crowd boos the rapper who waves a hand brushing the negativity away. )
Deadprez: Hunnid rubs his back a little that apron shot didn’t feel good for sure as the official begins to count!
Referee: ONE! TWO!!
Gavin Kirkland: Abel and Hunnid remain outside of the ring as Honcho whips his opponent against the security railing surrounding the ringside area!
Referee: THREE!!! FOUR!!!!
Eve: LOOK AT HIM! He just took a phone off the hands of a fan and took a selfie with a dazed Abel Atami before tossing the device away like trash! The gull on the rapper to mess around like that during a match!
Referee: FIVE!!!!! SIX!!!!!!
Deadprez: Time’s running short for Hunni who is throwing hard pounding strikes at Abel before then throwing him into an Irish whip that sends Atami inside the ring just as the referee was about to count to seven!
Gavin Kirkland: Hunnid in control of the match now as he moves Atami to a corner and drives a few stiff looking elbows to his opponent, He then moves a foot against the throat of Atami, the official counts Honchi is risking disqualification but he stops at four!
Eve: Abel trying to get up on his own power but Honcho helps and sends him to ropes ONLY TO GET HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS AND THROW HIMSELF BACKWARDS FOR A SAMOAN DROP! BUT HE KEEPS ROLLING AND WOAH ATAMI IS OVER HIS ShOULDERS AGAIN!!
Gavin Kirkland: AND HE IS MILITARY PRESSING ATAMI!!! THREE REPETITIONS RIGHT BEFORE HE DRILLS HIM DOWN WITH A POWERSLAM!! COVER BY THE RAPPER!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: ATAMI WITH THE SHOULDER UP! This match continues and Honcho doesn’t seem annoyed at least for now at the failure of his pinfall attempt. He moves to pick Atami up, throwing a few punches before sending Atami to the ropes AND SENDS HIM DOWN HARD WITH A SPINEBUSTEEEEER!!!! He considers a cover but he doesn’t go for it! Forcing Atami to a vertical base again he whips him to the rop-NO! Reversed by Atami sending Hunnid to the corner! Grunting the Samoan charges at his opponent WHO CAUGHT HIM AND SENDS HIM CRASHING ON THE FLOOR WITH THE URANAGE!!!
Eve: Abel is on his back looking in pain as Honcho moves to the second rope looking to force more hurt on his opponent with an elbow drop. He goes airborne but lands on his feet as Abel had rolled out of the way and then throws a leg for a sweep that manages to take the bigger man down!
Gavin Kirkland: Atami quickly pounces at Honcho, mounted position over his opponent he drills stiff elbow strikes to the face of Hunnid before quickly moving up and whips Honcho to a corner AND SLAMS AGAINST HIM THROWING ALL OF HIS BODY IN! He then grabs at the ropes and begins to harshly drive his shoulder into Hunni’s gut with hard thrust shoulders that will make you feel sore in the morning! Honcho looks a tad dazed while getting struck by a slew of forearm chops with the last one making Honcho sit on his ass!
Deadprez: The momentum shifted folks as Abel is scraping a boot against the face of Hunnid. Atami quickly goes to the center of the ring and then rushes to Honcho THROWING A KNEE TO HIS FACE!! OUCH!! He then picks up the dazed Honcho and sends him to the center of the ring with a perfect German suplex! He doesn’t stop there though as he gathers his opponent and goes for a Hammerlock Suplex this time!!
Eve: Atami doesn’t seem to be gone as he moves Honcho close to the ropes, he lifts him up AND USES THE ROPES FOR A SLINGSHOT SUPLEX FOLLOWED BY A BRIDGE PIN!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: And Honcho kicks out!!
Deadprez: Atami doesn’t look impressed by his opponent’s resiliency as he then moves to his feet. He throws a few kicks to the midsection of his opponent before moving Honcho up and whipping him into the ropes. Honcho seemed to become aware and throws an elbow for a clothesline but Atami ducked low before reaching behind him and at Honcho’s neck TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A NECK BREAKER! Hondo looked like he had an invisible leash yanked from behind him!
Gavin Kirkland: Atami is far from being done apparently as he picks up Honcho and sends him bouncing to the ropes AND SENDS IN A KNEE THAT HAS HONCHO FLIPPING OVER IT! KITCHEN SINK! Abel once again gets Honcho up, not allowing him a break, to the ropes once more, AND SLINGBLADE!! FOLLOWED BY A SPLASH OF HIS OWN!!
Deadprez: Antonne looks mighty pleased outside of the ring as he is cheering on for his friend and client. Meanwhile, Atami and Honcho are standing but Abel has the upper hand. Honcho tries for a hip toss however but it is countered by Atami WHO GOES FOR A GUTWRENCH SIT OUT POWERBOMB THAT LANDS!! COVER!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: HONCHO KICKS OUT! Atami throws a few punches to the man’s face before moving to the top ropes nearby. MISSILE DROPKICK DELIVERED TO HONCHO JUST AS HE GOT TO HIS FEET! Abel is back on his own legs soon after as he throws a superkick to the but of his opponent FOLLOWED BY A PUMPHANDLE SLAM!!!
Deadprez: Abel looks to be on a roll at the moment and this doesn’t bode well for the Lyrical Miracle who is looking for his second win of the season!
Gavin Kirkland: Abel is provoking his opponent, taunting coldly Honcho to get back to his feet and as he goes he sends him back down with a BELLY-TO-BELLY NECKBREAKER!! He follows it with a massive leg drop! Those thick legs going to do damage to anyone no matter how big or strong! Hunni is holding his throat as he is lifted up to stand on his own power.
Deadprez: Atami whips Hunni to a corner but the action is reversed! Honcho trying to turn things around as he charges at Atami who gets a quick boot in which forces Honcho to back step and hold his stomach leaning forward. Atami to the top ropes, standing on the turnbuckle AND QUICKLY THROWS HIMSELF ON HONCHO’S BACK WITH A MUSHROOM STOMP!!! MY GOD THIS COULD BREAK SPINES!! DOWN GOES HONCHO AND ATAMI ATTEMPTS A COVER!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Somehow Honcho found it in him to kick out! And this match continues!!
Eve: Well folks we have to get to a commercial break for a brief moment! Don’t go anywhere! This match and the remainder of the Go Home Edition of Showdown ahead of Territorial Invasion will return right after these messages!!
( And quick they are indeed! The promotion is about High School Musical, The Musical, The Series which proudly sponsors this year’s Territorial Invasion! Coming to you LIVE from the O2 Arena in beautiful London England! Tickets are still available for this two-day event or can be viewed at home or on the go exclusively on Disney Plus! )
Eve: We are back ladies and gentlemen and we are glad to have you with us for this episode of Showdown! If you just joined us Hunnid Honcho is battling Abel Atami in what was a beefy contest so far!
Deadprez: The two of them have been going back and forth during the commercial break in some hard-hitting hits. Honcho trying to mount a comeback with Atami having laid it hard upon him for a bit and now look at them throwing fists at one another like no one’s business!
Eve: Hunnid whips Abel to the ropes and tries for a clothesline ducked by Atami WHO GOES FOR A SUPERKICK TO THE GUT! He then quickly goes to a corner as Honcho is bent forward, he’s looking for a spear or something of the like as he suddenly dashes forw-
Gavin Kirkland: THE CERTIFIED BANGER!!! ABEL WANTED TO TACKLE HONCHO BUT HE WALKED RIGHT INTO ONE OF HIS OPPONENT’S SIGNATURE MOVES!!! ABEL IS LAID OUT AND HUNNI WANTS TO FINISH IT!!!! HE GOES TOPSIDE HE’S CALLING FOR THE HIP HOP HIPPO SMASH!!
Eve: Hey wait a minute who is there running down the ramp?
Deadprez: IT’S LUCAS JOHNSON AND OGAWA!!! THEY ARE RUSHING THE RING AND QUICKLY GOING ON HUNNID HONCHO SLAMMING HIM ON THE FLOOR FROM HIS ELEVATED POSITION HE HAD NO CHANCE!!! KICKS AND FISTS THEY ARE ASSAULTING THE LYRICAL MIRACLE AND THE OFFICIAL HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO CALL FOR THE BELL!!!
( DING! DING!! DING!!! DING!! DING!!! )
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH AS A RESULT OF A DISQUALIFICATION: HUNNIIIIIIIID HONCHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
(‘No Auto Dirk’ by Lil Durk hits to signal the winner but the official doesn’t have the opportunity to raise Honcho’s hand in victory as he is fighting back against his assailants. )
Gavin Kirkland: Abel is on the floor of the ring sitting but he is huffing he looks angry!
Abel Atami: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGH!!!
Deadprez: WOAH LOOKS LIKE HE SNAPPED!! HE GETS UP QUICKLY AND GOES TO TOWN ON LUCAS FROM BEHIND HIM! POWERING HIM OFF HONCHO AND OUTSIDE OF THE RING!! IT’S TWO-ON-ONE NOW OGAWA WITH THE DISADVANTAGE BUT JOHNSON MANAGES TO BAIL HIM OUT! All men are staring at each other now!
(The final shot is of Abel leaving first, sided by Antonne Prudence while an intense staredown continues between Lucas, Ogawa, and the victor of tonight: Hunnid Honcho)
(The scene fades to the back and shows none other than Hurricane Hawk with his arms folded looking right at Heidi Huxley. The words of Impact have sunk in but more importantly, he has been thinking about some of the decisions he has made recently and the results of last weeks Davey Jones Locker Match.)
Heidi Huxley: Did you make the right decision putting Chris Elite as the Team Captain for the Showdown Brand Warfare match> He has been quite the disappointment since getting here. All the talent in the world, but I am sorry, I’m not into people doing the bare minimum and living on their past accomplishments alone.
Hurricane Hawk: Heidi, he’s a tremendous wrestler, he is a Hall of Famer, proven himself time and time again in big matches like this. I don’t know what else to say, he has my endorsement.
Heidi Huxley: He doesn’t have mine, not when half your locker room is about to commit mutiny on you, Hawk!
Hurricane Hawk: Pirate theme was last week Heidi. I know that you have concerns, but I believe in Chris, I know he is going through a tough time, I think his hamster died recently and he has been mourning, give the guy a break.
(Heidi scoffs at the sound of the Hamster dying.)
Heidi Huxley: We need to win Territorial Invasion on all fronts and after the promotional videos I saw posted for the matches today, we are trailing and that is not a good start. You should have made Jon Kelton the leader considering he’s the only one that seems to want it all!
Hurricane Hawk: Now… hold on a damn minute!
Heidi Huxley: No! I will not, Hawk! You have wrestlers turning on management, that is NOT the Disney way! That is NOT how we do business! We are and will always be the happiest place on earth and the moment you understand that we will be better! I get it, you don’t want to ruffle any feathers, but maybe these are some feathers that need to be ruffled!
(A frustrated Hurricane Hawk paces some when there is a knock on the door, Chris Elite walks in with Donovan Duke, Jon Kelton, Ryan Wilson and Lexi.)
Hurricane Hawk: Now is not a good time.
Chris Elite: When is? I actually was standing by the door and heard y’all’s conversation and we needed to talk. Last week sucked. Midsummer Massacre sucked, there has been a lot going on that sucked, but I am still Chris Elite. I have my Gawd Contract, I am one of the best damn wrestlers in the business. This woman doesn’t know me like you do, how many times have I made the highlight reel for you?
Hurricane Hawk: A lot, Chris. But she does have a point, you have been rather lackluster a few times in huge matches and well, that needs to change heading into Territorial Invasion. We need to win this!
Jon Kelton: We will…. And much as I hate to admit this, I got his back. I got Donovan’s back, I got Ryan and Lexi’s back and I know they have mine.
(Hawk looked a bit surprised by what Jon Kelton said.)
Donovan Duke: He’s right boss. We know what is at stake, what we need to do in order to win. That is why we came in here, to tell you that we are united!
(Hawk and Heidi look at one another a bit stunned.)
Ryan Wilson: We may not always see eye to eye, but the fact Chris took a gamble on me, on Lexi says what kind of man he is. You may not think he is fit to lead, but as a former General Manager, I see the holes in team Dynasty and Team Voltage, we can do this.
Lexi: Yeah…. Much as I hate to admit it, we are a good team, I got their backs all the way, so whatever shi… uh sugar you got against Chris Elite, at least for this week and the match, we are all cool, after that I would kick him in the balls.
(Hawk turns to Chris….)
Chris Elite: We got this…. I’m telling you now, we got this. I know that you have your doubts, but have I ever looked bad at Territorial Invasion? I’m gonna lead this team to the promise land…. We gonna win this. As for you Heidi…. You are hot…. But dumb. Don’t be listening to Impact…. He’s an [BLEEP].
(Team Showdown walks out but not before Hawk and Chris shake hands. They leave closing the door behind them as Hawk looks a little more confident with the decision that he made. Heidi though doesn’t look amused; she then turns and shakes her head, leaving Hawk a little perplexed as the scene fades to a commercial.)
(We cut to the office of Hurricane Hawk again, where he sat at his desk, Heidi Huxley stood behind him still steaming after the last segment, Mary S. Atlas sat in a chair opposite. Mary looks a little nervous, if also a little intrigued as she had been called to the office earlier, believing that it has something to do with the Ultimate Opportunity match she won just last week at Dead Men Tell No Tales.)
Hurricane Hawk: Thank you for joining us, Mary.
Mary S. Atlas: Of course. If the boss asked for you, then you better make damn sure you make that meeting.
Hurricane Hawk: Agreed, but unfortunately there are some that don’t believe in that same respect.
Mary S. Atlas: Well, you can rest assured that I do. I wouldn’t have gotten as far as I have if it wasn’t for you.
Hurricane Hawk: Well, that’s refreshing to hear. Certainly, it’s a distraction from other things I have heard in the locker room.
Mary S. Atlas: Ignore them, there is no one better to run Showdown. I have the utmost faith in your direction.
(Hawk looks at Heidi and they nod at each other. With everything else going on now it was certainly nice to hear some positivity coming from a member of their roster. Especially from someone who was starting to make a name for herself.)
Hurricane Hawk: Anyway, the reason we both called you to the office was to reiterate just how proud we are of you.
Mary S. Atlas: You are?
Heidi Huxley: Of course… our shared vision of what an Elitist should be, is someone who always managed to stick to their morals and keep their head up even in the face of some severe obscurity. Things haven’t always gone as well for you as you probably would have liked, but you have never let it get you down.
Mary S. Atlas: I’ve always believed the good times would come, and had faith in my ability
Heidi Huxley: It shows
(Mary beams with pride, happy that she had been noticed at last.)
Hurricane Hawk: You should be proud of yourself too… I know the life of an Elitist is never easy.
Mary S. Atlas: But I’ll never give up, I can promise you that. All I want to do now is succeed, and not do it by holding on to other coattails either. I don’t know how I’m going to do it, but I can assure you that no matter what I’ll try and give everything to this company.
Hurricane Hawk: And for that, we can only thank you. You’re a shining light for Showdown right now, and I think it only right that we show our appreciation for all that you have done of late. You did win an Ultimate Opportunity match after all.
(Mary smiles. She had thought this would about that and had wondered at length what the opportunity was going to be. Now it seemed that she was about to find out, and she couldn’t wait to see what was in store for her going forwards. Heidi takes something from her jacket, an envelope, and she slides it across the table with a grin. Mary picks it up, a little confused, and proceeds to open it, pulling out what looks like two tickets.)
Heidi Huxley: In appreciation for all that you have done of late, please accept two season passes to ALL Disney Parks, which you a use as and when you would like.
(For a moment Mary looks stunned, this wasn’t what she was expecting at all. She smiles, not wanting to be rude, and does her best to seem happy.)
Mary S. Atlas: This is… amazing. Thank you so much.
(Mary gets to her feet, and shakes both Heidi’s and then Hawks hand, still putting on the façade that she was overwhelmed by this gift.)
Heidi Huxley: You deserve it. And you make sure you have fun at some of the most magical places in the world.
Mary S. Atlas: I will.
Hurricane Hawk: Keep it up Mary, and everything you have every dreamed off will come your way.
(Mary wasn’t sure about that. She could certainly dream a lot higher that two season passes, that was for sure. Still trying to hide her disappointment she turns to leave, Heidi and Hawk watching her go, until Hawk speaks.)
Hurricane Hawk: Oh, by the way Mary.
(Mary turns, half expecting that there was some catch to the passes, and that it would turn out that she probably couldn’t even use them.)
Mary S. Atlas: Yes
Hurricane Hawk: I forgot to mention, two weeks after Territorial Invasion, you get a shot at whoever emerges as the winner of that event between Harper Lee and Holly Arrow.
(Mary looks a little unsure, not certain what she is being told and not wanting to assume.)
Hurricane Hawk: Mary, for winning the Ultimate Opportunity match, you’re getting a shot at the EAW Universal Women’s Championship.
(There is a momentary pause at it sinks in, until finally Mary jumps to her feet and runs around the desk, hugging Hawk and then even Heidi and tears start to flow down her face.)
Mary S. Atlas: Thank you both so, so much
(She manages to speak, but she is almost sobbing such is the emotion.
Mary S. Atlas: I won’t let you down.
Heidi Huxley: We know you won’t Mary.
Hurricane Hawk: This is the big one Mary, make the most of this opportunity.
Mary S. Atlas: I will…
(Mary claps her hands together with delight, before wiping away her tears. She then nods at them both before leaving.)
Heidi Huxley: I think she’s happy.
Hurricane Hawk: You know what, I think you’re right.
(They both grin, and then go back to other business that needs dealing with as the scene cuts away.)
[SCREEN BAR – EARLIER TODAY]
(The camera shot widens and shows Kassidy Heart standing next to Mikaela. Despite Serena Bennett getting the better of her last night on Dynasty, Kassidy looks pretty damn good. The former champion has kept it casual tonight wearing a pair of high-waist, flowy light gold sequined shorts that have been paired with a vintage white Mr. DEDEDE as ‘The Sheriff’ t-shirt complete with The Sheriff standing in the middle of a field of sunflowers under a rainbow while the sun shines down on him, and a silky white blazer. Her dark locks are down and flowing over her shoulders and gold peep toe Louboutin booties are on her feet. Mikaela smiles at Kassidy and begins the interview.)
Mikaela Street: Thank you so much for being here, my first question, What is this understanding you have with Impact? Could you shine a light on that?
Kassidy Heart: Well you certainly didn’t waste any time going right for the jugular.
Mikaela Street: It’s not my job to beat around the bush.
(Kassidy rolls her eyes.)
Kassidy Heart: Whatever. I’m sure everyone is looking for some deep, well thought out meaning behind this apparent pairing of Kassidy Heart and Impact, but there’s not much to it. Despite the fact the two of us are fierce rivals, we share similar opinions on the current state of Showdown. As the heart and soul of the blue brand, a brand I have been carrying on my back for quite some time, it really frustrates me to see who Hurricane Hawk has chosen to represent Showdown at Territorial Invasion. He had a golden opportunity to throw down the gauntlet and put a proven winner at the head of his Anarchy in the Arena team, but instead he decided to go with a known choke artist in Adam Lucas, an inconsistent piece of trash in Jake Smith, and a literal sloth of a man in Xander Payne. It’s pathetic and I look forward to seeing them fail. As for Impact, he’s the Answers World Champion and clearly the focal point at the moment, or he should be. He should be front and center when it comes to all things Showdown but instead, like me, he’s being forced to watch these three clowns get the opportunity to represent us at the season’s first tri-branded event. I won’t even touch on the lack of chances I believe the Brand Warfare team has. War Games pretty much did the talking for me.
Mikaela Street: So that’s all this is, then. You and Impact just sharing similar opinions?
(Mikaela is skeptical but Kassidy keeps it neutral, although when she replies, her tone is pretty icy.)
Kassidy Heart: Right now? Yes. Impact has been a trusted friend and partner to my hubbycakes and my best friend loves him. We’re on the same page right now.
(Mikaela decides to move on.)
Mikaela Street: We all know you wanted Andrea Valentine, that is now not possible, but you do have a match with Serena Bennett. A lot of history, how is it different this time?
Kassidy Heart: It’s not different. Serena Bennett is still an overrated, overhyped piece of trash and I’m still better than her. I mauled her a couple of years ago when I was defending the Universal Women’s Championship, and there’s absolutely zero doubt in my mind that the outcome is going to be exactly the same. She may have gotten the upper-hand last night on Dynasty, but let’s not gloss over the fact she needed the help of Dr. D’Angelo to get that. At Territorial Invasion, the two of us will be locked instead of a steel cage, and Serena isn’t going to have D’Angelo, Vizzy, and Astraea to help her. She’s going to have to get in there and stare down the woman who has outclassed her time and time again. I am going to give the bitch one hell of a reminder of why she should have stayed in the graveyard of former Elitists.
Mikaela Street: Can’t argue with that! Everyone knows that Kassidy Heart doesn’t go long without gold around her waist. What is next? What Championships are you gunning for?
(A slight smile crosses Kassidy’s face for the first time during this interview.)
Kassidy Heart: Impact and I may have a truce, but make no mistake about it. I am looking to become a three-time world champion sooner rather than later. That being said, I am not limiting myself either. I’ve got nothing to prove and everything to gain, and I just want to keep on stat-padding. I will go down in EAW history as the very best of all-time and I will NOT go through an entire season without having some type of accolade or achievement added to my resume. You can bet your entire salary on that.
(Mikaela nods then pauses, thinking about her next question carefully.)
Mikaela Street: Is it true that like Impact you have no confidence in the leadership of Hurricane Hawk?
(Kassidy lets out a pretty cold laugh.)
Kassidy Heart: The only person who has any sort of leadership or control over me is Daddygawd himself. Hurricane Hawk can attempt to throw his weight around and threaten me, which has been noted and will not be forgotten, but I could snap my fingers and have him out the door if I truly wanted. He will learn one way or another not to play with me, and if I don’t get what I’m looking for then with Gawd as my witness, I will not be held liable for whatever happens to this brand going forward. I am Kassidy Heart and it would serve EVERYONE well to remember that.
(Mikaela can’t help but shudder because Kassidy didn’t sound like herself with that last chilling statement.)
Mikaela Street: Finally…. Any last words to Serena or Showdown?
(Kassidy flips her hair over her shoulder and shakes her head.)
Kassidy Heart: I think I’ve said enough to get my message across. I just hope that for once everyone heeds my warning and stays the fuck out of my way.
(Mikaela looks wide-eyed after the cursed interview, she then turns after Kassidy left….)
Mikaela Street: You totally edited that stuff out… right? … uh right?
(The scene fades to a commercial….)
(The camera fades back from commercial to ringside.)
Gina Romano: The following contest has a twenty-minute time limit and it is scheduled FOR!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Gina Romano: Introducing First….
(‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics, Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart hits)
Gina Romano: She is the current, reigning, defending… EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! HARPERRRRRR LEEEEEEE!!!
(Harper Lee would come out rolling her eyes to the damn head almost as if she’s not even wanting to be in this match-up. As she makes her way to the ring she makes a few snappy comebacks to people in the front row while going down the stage, but ultimately wastes not much time as she enters the ring.)
Holly Arrow: Watching her walk makes him want to puke.
Gavin Kirkland: Please, puke to the left of you and not on me. Please?
Eve: Gavin, I’m almost certain it was an expression.
(“Get Going” by The Muddy Apes blasts throughout the arena as Komatsu Ogawa comes out alone, not even Tanaka by his side tonight. ‘The Drunken Heel King’ stomps his way down to the ring, unlike Harper not acknowledging anybody but his opponent. Not keeping his eyes off her as he rolls himself into the ring.)
Eve: Komatsu comes out here with something to prove, and a lack of… something to compete for.
Deadprez: In better words this dudes gotta get the ball rolling, he lost at Dead Men Tell No Tales. And he hasn’t been a hotshot since coming back, he’s shown some good skill but that isn’t going to win against Harper Lee.
Holly Arrow: He may not win, but he can soften her up for me tonight.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Eve: The bell rings as both elitists start circling the ring, Harper looks to… lock-up? Not sure if you noticed but there’s a fourteen inch difference between the two of these competitors. Komatsu falls for the trap it seems because Harper immediately drops to a knee getting behind the bigger man and running off the ropes!!!— As Komatsu turns around he gets hit with a RUNNING DROPKICK!
Holly Arrow: That was impressive, but basic.
Deadprez: Komatsu not falling down, Godzilla stays up and we’re not surprised one bit! Harper now looks to jump on the back of Komatsu trying to wrap her arms around his neck. Dangerous setting here for the bigger man, but she can’t get a good enough grip as Komatsu throws her over his head!!!—- Wait! Harper Lee catches herself on her two feet like a nimble cat! She jumps up on the middle rope!!!—- AND A TORNADO DDT THAT PLANTS OGAWA!
Gavin Kirkland: Haha! That’s why she’s the champion! Look at how she managed to get Komatsu down so early on, you don’t see that in most of his matches now do you? Komatsu rolls over to the ropes picking himself back up as Harper awaits him to make it to his feet—- SHE MAKES A RUN FOR OGAWA AND A DIVING CROSSBODY AGAINST THAT SENDS THEM BOTH TO THE OUTSIDE!
Holly Arrow: Getting him to the outside, what she’s going to win by countout? Or is she just an idiot and doesn’t realize there’s nothing out there for her?
Eve: Give her the benefit of the doubt, we’re not sure what she has planned. Both elitists smack down on the patted area below, Harper gets up rather quickly here— Ogawa also showing resilience getting up to his feet!
Deadprez: Harper again trying to run at Ogawa, but she’s caught and Komatsu has his arms wrapped around her—- SPINEBUSTER ON THE APRON!!! Harper Lee shrieks in pain!— That unforgiving edge of our ring has been utilized to the best of its abilities!
Referee: THREEEE!!!
Holly Arrow: I mean, I told you so? :mjlol:
Eve: ‘The Craftsman’ not looking to stop his onslaught either as he grabs Harper’s right arm and tosses her into the barricade back first! The Champ is in dire need of help here.
Gavin Kirkland: Yes she is, as Komatsu now picks her up by the chin with one hand. This is truly showing the size difference between the two— HEY… WAIT A SECOND HARPER BITES DOWN ON THE FINGERS OF KOMATSU OGAWA! WHAT THE H….-
Referee: SIXXX!!!!
Deadprez: Quick thinking to create separation from ‘Captain’ Harper here as she rolls herself back into the ring and gets to her feet. Ogawa follows as he shakes off his hand. Komatsu is on all fours picking himself up— HARPER JUMPS UP AND WHAT COMES UP—- ALWAYS COMES DOWN! HER BOOTS SLAMMING DOWN ON THE SPINE OF KOMATSU!!!
Holly Arrow: So now she cheats and hits cheap shots, good to know.
Eve: Komatsu rolls away from the ropes and Harper quickly hooks a leg— is this all she wrote?
ONEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: No! Komatsu shuts down any belief that Harper may have had to end this bout in the early goings. Harper doesn’t look that defeated however she is looking towards the ref!—- and getting in his face!
Harper Lee (Off-Mic): Could you count any slower huh? You think this is a joke? This is real, count FASTER.
Holly Arrow: I hope he hits her in the face hard.
Deadprez: You wish and you shall receive, never turn your back on your opponent! Komatsu is up to his feet and as Harper turns around is met with a nasty uppercut to the jaw! Lee turns inside out and around for Komatsu to NAIL A GERMAN SUPLEX!!!! Komatsu not letting go of his grip and lifting her back up…
Eve: Another one?—- No! Komatsu pushes her away and as she turns around and faces him in a groggy state— Komatsu lifts her arm up and SPINS HER AROUND FOR A URANAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING SHE LANDS—— Komatsu puts a hand over her for the pin!
ONEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
T……..
Holly Arrow: We all knew she was going to kick out, don’t know why he seems shocked.
Gavin Kirkland: I’d say that’s more frustration then shock, but I’ll bite nonetheless. Ogawa gets back up and as Harper starts stirring around Komatsu grabs her by the hair!!! The official telling him to lay-off with that. Komatsu stands Harper up and….—- Runs off the ropes!!! BIG BOOT—-
Deadprez: Avoided! Harper ducks the big boot and as Komatsu turns around Lee steps up on his knee and kicks his head in with a beautifully landed Enzuguri kick!!!!—- Komatsu stumbles back a few feet and bounces off the ropes getting met with a JUMPING KNEE!—- RIGHT ON THE NOSE!
Eve: ‘The Drunken Heel King’ refuses to fall, but he doesn’t need to—- Harper pushes him into the corner! Lee is now stomping into the midsection of Komatsu, the face of Ogawa shows nothing but pain but he’s still refusing to fall down! Lee backs up and runs at Komatsu, A HUGE BIG BOOT TO THE CORNER!!! Komatsu falls down leaning against the bottom turnbuckle!
Holly Arrow: Big but stupid clearly, he could’ve had a thousand different ways to get out of that situation instead he’s saddled up for being a dumba….
Gavin Kirkland: We are… A PG SHOW!
Deadprez: Harper grabbing the left arm and hooking it over the bottom rope, she follows that up by doing the same with the right…. Lee has something planned and I’m not sure how much I like the idea of that. Harper jumps up on the middle rope, she starts creating momentum jumping up and down on the ropes before, JUMPING OFF BUT USING HER ARMS ON THE TOP ROPE TO PUSH HER LEGS DOWN INTO THE BODY OF KOMATSU!!!
Eve: Ouch!!!—- Komatsu was just folded like a pancake, that’s… that’s bad. Harper grabs him by his arm and uses all of her might to drag him a few inches, and that seems to be the reason to stop a rope break. She’s going for her second cover of the match!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Once more folks! This match will continue as Komatsu tosses his shoulder up! Lee smacks the mat over and over, she thinks the official is slow counting and I’m not sure why.
Holly Arrow: She’s throwing a fit like a child.
Gavin Kirkland: Maybe, Harper once more tries to go for the cover this time telling the official to speed it up but she’s ELBOWED RIGHT IN THE FACE! Komatsu gets his elbow smack dab on the jaw as Lee tries to get down for the cover! Harper falls back holding her jaw— Komatsu starts getting to his feet all the way. The death of Harper has been her disability to stop arguing!
Deadprez: It seems like Gavin, Komatsu up to his feet, Lee turning around and she ends up right in Komatsu’s grasp as she lifts her upside down and over the shoulder… wait a second!
Eve: THE IRISH CAR BOMB PILEDRIVERR!!! KOMATSU LIFTS HER LEG FROM A SEATED POSITION ITS OVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THREEEE——
Deadprez: KICKOUT! LEE GETS HER SHOULDER UP SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY!
Holly Arrow: Oh my god, can she just lose already!?
Eve: Komatsu is shaking a little right now, that’s the move he uses to finish matches now to soften his opponents up with. Komatsu picks himself up, his expression a little lost. He stands over Harper Lee and begins to pick her up, Komatsu puts her arm over his shoulder… LIFTING ARM TRIANGLE CHOKE LOCKED IN!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Mama Mia! Will this be it? Harper is dangling like a child, Komatsu’s face is going red as he applies more and more pressure…. The official looks on with concern he’s questioning if Harper is awake possibly!—- WAIT… HARPERS FREE ARM, SHE’S CLENCHING HER FIST! SHE IS STILL IN THIS!!!—-
Deadprez: Harper—- HITS KOMATSU IN THE NOT DISNEY FRIENDLY ZONE WITH THAT FIST! THE OFFICIAL NOT CATCHING IT AS HE WAS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF IT!—- This doesn’t raise questions for him as to why Komatsu has let go and is in pain right now?
Holly Arrow: EAW hires idiots to officiate these matches I swear to god.
Eve: Harper is free from the grasp of ‘The Drunken Heel King’ and is now met with a ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT DROPS HIM! Komatsu falls to a knee leaning against the ropes; he’s not having a great time right now at all against the crafty Harper Lee. Harper again turns around and another roundhouse kick that has Ogawa fall face first into the canvas! Harper is flexing obnoxiously now…. I think that’s towards you Holly!
Holly Arrow: She should be focusing on her match instead of me in my honest opinion.
Gavin Kirkland: Lee now looking to the skies as she exits the ring onto the apron and begins climbing the turnbuckles… Harper Lee…. looks down upon Komatsu who has rolled onto his back… DIVING FOOT STOMP TO THE ABDOMEN OF KOMATSU! Harper Lee rolls off up to her feet and starts clapping her hands!! Komatsu is starting up to his feet holding his gut, tryna walk the pain off!
Deadprez: That could cost him as he’s gotten up with his back turned to Harper Lee…. HARPER COMES UP FROM BEHIND WITH THE HOUSE OF BALLOONS BACKSTABBED!! SHE HITS IT AND ROLLS AND SHE IS HOOKING THE LEG! THE WHOLE MATCH COULD BE OVER JUST LIKE THAT—-
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Eve: No! No! No! Komatsu kicks out! He kicks out just barely getting that shoulder up and Lee is not happy about it. Harper mounts the top of Komatsu and starts slapping the ever-living Disney out of him. She has thrown at least twenty slaps— finally she gets off! Harper is now trying her best to lift Ogawa to get him up to his feet. Komatsu with his last bit of strength pushes Harper away and gets himself up holding his back.
Gavin Kirkland: Lee tries for a Bicycle Kick can it connect! No Komatsu catches the boot pushing Harper back! Harper rolls off and back up to her feet and Komatsu with a huge clothesline sending her flying to the corner! Komatsu followed up with a SPEAR INTO THE CORNER! The way an elitist can use that rush to get themselves back into a match is always memorizing!
Holly Arrow: Holly is getting what she deserves and I’m here for it personally.
Deadprez: Anyways, Harper slumps down the turnbuckles but Komatsu lifts her back up and sets her up on the top turnbuckle… oh no! ‘The Drunken Heel King’ gets himself up on the middle rope and lifts his arm over Harper… AVALANCHE SUPLEX!!!!
Eve: You could hear the impact of that one from here— Can Komatsu make the cover….??? NO!!!! Look Harper is rolling away and out to the apron where she grabs on to the ropes. Komatsu is dazed, he did himself a deal with that move with the already damaged spine! Ogawa grabbing at his back as he’s clearly feeling the effects of this grueling fight.
Gavin Kirkland: Rightfully so!!! Komatsu walking to Harper and lifting her up… is he about to do what I think he’s about to do….? HE IS!!!— Komatsu lifts Harper over the top rope and leaves her balancing on if with his assistance…. BEFORE SLAMMING HIS ARM DOWN ON HARPER’S BACK!!! MAN!
Deadprez: Komatsu really coming into his own here as it could be over… if he does these last few minutes right he could be looking at beating a champion! Harper Lee is beat, but so is Komatsu! Which one will walk away the winner is the question.
Holly Arrow: Who cares really?
Eve: Komatsu is waiting… and waiting… Harper is on a single knee coughing as she gets herself up to both feet but that may have been a mistake! Komatsu grabs her, lifting her upside down once more over his shoulder…. WE KNOW WHAT THIS IS IRISH CAR BOMB PILEDRIVER….. WAIT HARPER GETS OUT OF THE WAY AND PUSHES KOMATSU WITH ALL HER MIGHT!
Deadprez: Yeah that didn’t seem to do much as he doesn’t move… Harper grabs the shoulders of Komatsu and tries to jump up!!! But Komatsu grabs her arm and shifts her weight so she is tossed over him! Harper though catches herself just like earlier in this bout, she turns around and Ogawa eats a nasty forearm! Komatsu however returns the favor with a HEADBUTT—-!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Wowza! Harper struggles to keep her balance as she slaps Komatsu across the face and… SUPERKICKS HIM IN THE GUT! Komatsu down to a knee, Harper looks to the ropes and back to Komatsu and back to the ropes—- HARPER FROM OFF THE ROPES—- SHINING WIZARD!!! Komatsu is laid out! Harper has the perfect chance to go for the cover! Harper looks back to you Holly… a kiss has been blown to Holly Arrow! A mocking effort I’m sure!
Holly Arrow: Why isn’t she? She’s going to lose because of this, idiot. Worrying about me still I see.
Eve: I hate to be crude but Holly isn’t far off from being completely wrong, Komatsu looks to be in a world of… stars. Harper looks at Komatsu with a smile on her face? She’s stomping down on the back of Komatsu! Quickly and slamming her foot down hard, Harper is trying to hurt Komatsu badly!!! Harper now grabs the arm of Komatsu but waits…—- Ogawa using his strength and tugging away his arm.
Deadprez: That only seems to have made Harper more annoyed, Komatsu doesn’t look like he’s in a position to get up in time, Harper KICKS KOMATSU RIGHT IN THE HEAD, A SHORT-RANGED PUNT KICK! Komatsu holds his nose—- Harper has been tactical about her attacks this entire match picking and choosing how she hurts her opponent and it seems she’s tired of being tactical.
Gavin Kirkland: Komatsu laid out flat on his stomach Harper grabs the left arm… and now the right arm of Komatsu, and pushes her boot on the back of Komatsu Ogawa… OH MY- SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR!!!! KOMATSU’S BODY AND SKULL WAS JUST SLAMMED INTO THE MAT AND HARPER IS ROLLING HIM OVER TO MAKE THE COVER! She hooks his leg… is this it!
Holly Arrow: Jesus, the amount of times he had a chance to win is embarrassing.
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics, Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart hits as Harper gets up with her arm raised… she looks around as the crowd is chanting an array of things, it’s not one collected chant they can get together. Harper gets handed her belt as she clenches onto it….)
Gavin Kirkland: What a win for Harper Lee tonight!
Holly Arrow: No this is dumb, I’m done.
Eve: What?
(Holly takes her headset off and tosses it, she gets up and runs into the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: Holly is in the ring and Harper has noticed but it’s too late! Holly has already hit her with a running forearm!!!
Eve: Holly is throwing wild strikes on the champion who’s trying her best to block and evade but can’t!! Holly Arrow is off the walls right now!
Deadprez: You can do that again, the official is trying to get in the middle of it but that doesn’t stop Holly from getting one last stomp on the champs stomach! Man!
Eve: Holly Arrow looks down… and we know at what, Holly grabs that EAW Universal Women’s championship and she’s lifting it up high! Holly plants a kiss on the championship and tosses it down onto Harper! A statement has been made it seems.
(Holly Arrow leaves the ring as the camera fades off somewhere else from the sight of Holly Arrow attacking the Universal Women’s champion….)
(Boos accompany the scene as it cuts to Kyra Phillips, who is stood by with Jack Ripley. Jack rolls his head at the reaction, more than used to the disrespect he gets on almost a weekly occurrence.)
Kyra Phillips: Jack, thank you for joining us today, I’m sure you have plenty to say after that reaction from the fans?
Jack Ripley: That reaction Kyra is evidence enough of the intelligence I must put up with. The fans pay their money, I get that. I’m not going to interact with them or play up to the ‘villain’ they perceive me to be. They can cheer or boo for whoever the hell they like, and quite frankly I couldn’t give a shit about them.
(The boos heighten again, Jack smirking as he hears them.)
Jack Ripley: But it’s that disrespect that is driving me forwards Kyra, because it’s not like it’s JUST them is it. It’s all the way to the very top, through management to the corporate leaders. NONE of them can see what I could bring to this company, but luckily for them they are about to find out at the Free-Per-View. Once I take that belt, once I finally right an outdated wrong, there isn’t going to be a single critic alive that will have any justification berating me. I guess what I’m saying is I get to shove all their shit back down their throats.
Kyra Phillips: This is your chance to win back a title that you held before, a title that was taken from you by Kassidy Heart. You’ve spoken of that reign not being everything you wanted it to be… can you elaborate on that?
Jack Ripley: I’ve spoken about this many times Kyra, but it’s not surprise to me that you haven’t picked up on it. That title reign was supposed to make me, it was supposed to propel me to the dizzying heights of immortality in this company. Look at our current champion, Impact. No doubt a talented individual, but by comparison to what I bring to the table he is nothing more than placeholder. Kassidy Heart got lucky, and she ended my reign before it was due, and that is something that I’ve held with me now for the longest time. THAT reign wasn’t remembered Kyra. I wasn’t remembered as the Answers World Champion, and that is something that I intend doing something about.
Kyra Phillips: I think that the viewers will see your determination to put that right.
Jack Ripley: Like I said before Kyra, I don’t care what they see and what they don’t. This is all about ME and putting my name on a pedestal where it belongs. Ever since I lost to Kassidy, the world has been against me. And this isn’t a ‘woe is me’ story, or Jack Ripley feeling sorry for himself. This is me taking matters into my own hands no matter how I am treated.
Kyra Phillips: Treated?
Jack Ripley: Yes, treated. Look at the facts Kyra, look at people who were given their opportunities before I was. Adam Lucas, Limmy Monaghan, both got World Championship shots whilst I wasn’t even getting a look in. Lucas on Monaghan aren’t anywhere near my league, so where’s the logic in that? That’s mistreatment Kyra, and I refuse to let others get preferential treatment while I stand by twiddling my thumbs. You want something in EAW, you take it. And I intend on taking the Answers World Championship from Impact at Territorial Invasion. Listen to Impact, listen to the doubt in his voice. That is the doubt of a man who knows that every single word I speak is true.
Kyra Phillips: Impact has been on a roll of late however
Jack Ripley: Yeah, he has, but so have I. I know full well that when I sit back and look back over the course of my career, I will sit there as a Hall of Famer, revered by anyone who speaks my name. I also know that I am facing someone who already resides there, his seat secured for all eternity, who is on a comeback season that will perhaps never be matched again. Someone who has been world champion an unprecedented TEN times again, something that history may never witness again.
(Kyra goes to speak, but Jack holds up a single finger, indicating he isn’t finished yet.)
Jack Ripley: This isn’t going to be easy; Impact has all the tools… no question about it. He has all the ability in the world to take down the ‘lesser talents’ that he has been dealing with. But this is MY time Kyra, MY TIME to be the man I was born to be. And at Territorial Invasion, as well as those idiots out there witnessing an absolute classic, you WILL also see a new champion crowned in front of the eyes of the world. And there is no one going to stop me… NO ONE. And you had all better get used to it… IT’S HAPPENING.
(Jack pushes the camera away from him and walks away, his piece well and truly spoken. Making it clear that Territorial Invasion will only end one way. With the Answers World Championship once again residing around his waist as the scene cuts to ringside.)
(‘You know my Name’ by Chris Cornell hits over the PA system, the crowd jumping to their feet as Adam Lucas, Jake Smith and Xander Payne appear at the top of the ramp stood side by side. Jake turns to Adam with a grin, pointing up at the rafters obviously making reference to the music they are coming out to, as Adam looks at both his teammates with a smirk, and then motions ‘after you’ to them both, before all three of them walk to the ring.)
Deadprez: Would you listen to this ovation. Team Showdown for Anarchy in the Arena heading to the ring, and at last, seemingly on the same page.
Eve: Three individuals who have the honor of our brand in the palm of their hands.
Gavin Kirkland: And can you think of a better team, I certainly can’t. Hawk picked one heck of a group and I’m certain they are going to come back with the victory.
Deadprez: Nothing certain, but I agree. We’ve watched these three come together for the cause over the past few weeks, and after what happened last week, I think that was the final piece of the puzzle to bring them together as one.
Gavin Kirkland: Those charlatans at Dynasty have a lot to answer for.
(Xander slides under the bottom rope first, entering the ring and walking over, grabbing a mic. Jake then walks around the ring a little bit, before sliding in. Adam Lucas takes the steps, stopping at the top to look out at the fans for a few moments, savoring the cheers the team are getting as brand bias takes hold.)
Deadprez: Huge reaction for these three… it’s obviously not about the individuals, it’s all about what they represent.
(The music dies down, as Xander Payne stands in the center of the ring, Jake leaning against one of the corners as Adam stands close by. He lifts the mic, and he starts to speak.)
Xander Payne: Let’s make one thing clear… I AM the best in the world.
(A smattering of boos is heard but quickly it dies down.)
Eve: Xander doing Xander things.
Deadprez: Wouldn’t expect anything different.
Xander Payne: But that doesn’t mean to say that I am a fool. I know when things must be put to one side, and grudges forgotten. Anarchy in the Arena has the potential to push Showdown to the top of the tree, and anyone who doesn’t play their part is to the detriment of the team. Like I say, I’m no fool, and thus an alliance was formed. One thing straight however, when the dust has settled, I’ll be the one ascending to the World Championship. I’ll be the one confirming my thoughts. However, if Showdown are to be the best BRAND in the world, then I have to play nice. And for one night, and one night only, I will play nice.
(Jake steps out the corner, a huge roar. A mic in his hand already.)
Jake Smith: And you know what, I reckon the fact we can do that gives us an edge over the other two teams. I don’t like Xander Payne, and he sure as hell doesn’t like me or Adam. But that doesn’t matter right now, the only important thing is winning Anarchy in the Arena. This matters, not just to the brand, but to myself, Adam and Xander. This match will only serve to confirm what we already know that the blue brand is the best in the business. But at the same time, I have to admit, my motives are also a little selfish. Because at the same time I realize that this victory would do for my career. The briefcase, Anarchy in the Arena… the stage would be set. Just like Xander, I understand what it means and what it will take. And Xander, Adam… you have my word that I have your backs.
Deadprez: Singing from the same hymn sheet, exactly what we want from our representatives.
Gavin Kirkland: And you can bet Adam is happy with himself right now. He’s the Captain and he’s never strayed from the fact that all have to be together on this.
Eve: I don’t think his relationship with Jake was ever the problem.
(Adam takes a mic out of his back pocket and lifts it to his lips.)
Adam Lucas: The moment this team was formed, the Best in the World, Mr. Cash in the Vault, and the Next Level, immediately the naysayers started spouting their crap. No way could our team be unified. Not a chance could we all be on the same page.
(Boos ring out, the crowd knowing that was the case.)
Adam Lucas: Last year, the same things were said, and I was determined that wouldn’t be the case this time. I knew that if we were going to do this, we had to be fighting for the same cause. Of course, all three of us want to be World Champion. Of course, we all want to be known as men who defined the Showdown era. No question that will be in the back of our minds at Territorial Invasion… I’d be surprised to hear anything else. But it won’t be our primary focus, it will just be there, the realization of what this could do for us all. That is why Team Dynasty attacked us last week, because they knew they needed to set down a marker. Because they will NEVER have the same unity we have. Even with my good friend Limmy Monaghan at the helm.
(He turns to Jake, the two of them sharing a laugh, as Xander Payne once again takes up the story.)
Xander Payne: I know you thought you were doing the right thing Monaghan, coming at us on our show the way you did. I know you think the sight of us all taken out was a lasting memory, something for Dynasty to look at with pride. I’m sure, you felt good about yourselves, you and the two rookies you’re bringing to the table. Thing is though Limmy, you made a fatal error. If there were any doubts about Team Showdown and its collective presence, you rid us of those feelings. Getting your collective asses handed to you, no matter how cowardly the attack, it brings you together. You become a fellowship, an army even. You did that Limmy, so thank you. You will have to be the one who needs to apologize to those inexperienced children that you’re bringing to war. Your actions… their sacrifice.
Adam Lucas: And that’s not to say I don’t know WHY you did it bro. I know it was something you HAD to do. You had to give Dynasty hope, where unfortunately there is none. Joso has had one heck of an entrance to EAW and had made quite the name for himself, Serenity the same. But they don’t possess the experience we do, and in matches like this, it’s the experience that matters. Attacking us, yes it probably did give Dynasty hope, but that hope makes you nothing more than a false prophet. I respect the heck out of you Limmy, I invited you to Beth and my wedding. But like Xander says, you made a critical mistake as Captain the moment you showed up on our show. You did, what I wasn’t certain I could. YOU brought Showdown together, and now you must pay the consequences.
(Adam turns to Jake, who has heard what has been said thus far. He pauses, Adam saying something inaudible to him which makes him laugh.)
Jake Smith: But at least you’re not Team Voltage Limmy, at least you have a semblance of order, even if you do lead a team of lambs to the slaughter. Getting them to do your bidding last week, that was leadership no question about it. Bad leadership perhaps, but leadership, nonetheless. They will fight for you, they will die for the Dynasty brand, and perhaps we are doing them a disservice, maybe they will raise to the occasion in the same way they did when claiming title straps, but even you must admit that we have the experience, we have the talent and more than anything we have the togetherness required to not have to look at what your partners are doing. Team Voltage is just as likely to tear each other apart as it is to take it to us. Minerva and Drake King are an accident always waiting to happen… one day one of them will kill the other and this can all be put to bed. Hikari won’t be able to stop it… are they going to win this match on their own. Of course not. Voltage could be a threat, no question. But more likely, they are more than a threat to themselves. Says a lot about the management over there if they truly believe this could work.
Adam Lucas: But that doesn’t matter, we couldn’t care less what the other teams are doing. While they have been resorting to infighting, or cowardly attacks of very little consequence, do you know what we have been doing?
Xander Payne: Preparing.
Adam Lucas: That’s right Xander. We have been preparing, forming strategies, ensuring that no stones have been left unturned.
Jake Smith: We been going through what could happen with a fine-tooth comb and going through all the in eventualities that we can, ensuring that all bases are covered.
Xander Payne: We’ve considered all our strengths, of which there are many, and put them all together into an unstoppable unit, capable of resisting anything that can be thrown at us.
Adam Lucas: We’ve recognized how we are going to get this done, not by worrying about what Dynasty or Voltage can do, but what WE can done when we work as one.
Deadprez: This is quite the pep talk
Gavin Kirkland: I never thought I would see the day when these three were working together so cohesively. It warms this color commentators heart it really does.
Eve: I can’t believe it Gavin, but I agree with you. These guys have the potential to make Showdown extremely proud, but it isn’t going to be easy.
Xander Payne: So, if you want to say that Xander Payne can’t play nice with others, I suggest that you tune in and see for yourself what Xander Payne can and can’t do when he puts his mind to it. I’ve never once claimed that Jake and Adam are talentless hacks, they are more than capable of holding their own while I finish the job. I always get what I want, and right now what I want is to be a winner of Anarchy in the Arena.
Jake Smith: If you think that I don’t care about this because I have a briefcase in my possession think again. Because by the time I am through all I will have done is shown once again that I am a World Championship contender, regardless of the Cash in the Vault.
Adam Lucas: And if you truly believe that Adam Lucas can’t lead a team after what happened last year with Harper Lee, I’d suggest you watch the build to that match again. I was saying the exact same things to her as I said to Xander. I told her that we could only win this together… she didn’t listen, and we still nearly pulled it off. Xander has listened, and that is only credit to him. Truthfully, I believed this would be more of the same. I thought Hawk had made a mistake. Now however, maybe there was a little method in his madness. Because what he has now isn’t a set of individuals like you see on Voltage and Dynasty, it is a collective. A collective with one singular goal at Territorial Invasion.
Jake Smith: Showdown, we are going to do you proud, we’re going to bring this home.
Xander Payne: And you will realize, like these two eventually did, that Xander Payne IS the best in the world.
(He smiles, Jake and Adam both laughing, Jake then rolling his eyes.)
Deadprez: This is surreal watching this… the three of them are having a laugh.
Gavin Kirkland: We got a bit of a bromance going on here. It’s cute.
Xander Payne: In all seriousness, you may not like me but my blood flows blue. I’ll do my part and then some, to ensure the right result.
Jake Smith: I’ll get my individual honors; you can bet on that. But this isn’t about me, this is about every single one of us.
Adam Lucas: So, Dynasty bring your childish little cheap shots… not the first time I’ve been attacked by Limmy, at least this time I didn’t end up concussed. Voltage, bring your ‘Days of our Lives’ dramatics, and Minerva, I’m sorry that you have to put up with that prick hanging around like a bad smell yet again. What we’ll do, and by that, I mean what TEAM Showdown will do, is come to Anarchy in the Arena and tear that bitch up piece by piece, until only WE stand atop the wreckage as winners.
Xander Payne: No point trying to stop us, you can’t.
Jake Smith: We won’t be denied, we’ve come too far for that to happen.
(Adam pauses, as if a little emotional with everything, remembering the water that had gone under the bridge to get to this point. The crowd roars, Jake putting a hand on his shoulder and saying something that is once again inaudible. Adam lifts the mic up to his lips again, stepping forward and staring right down the cameras lens again.)
Adam Lucas: Secure your belongings and batten down the hatches. Kiss the ones you love and hold them tight, tighter than you ever have before. A storm is coming, a storm the likes of never seen before almost Apocalyptic in his nature. An Armageddon that cannot be avoided no matter how much you may try.
Jake Smith: Careful Adam, this is almost Shakespearian.
Xander Payne: Yeah, give it a rest, Jake won’t understand some of the big words. Of, an…etc.
Jake Smith: Just because your vocabulary consists of buffet, Dunkin Donuts…
Adam Lucas: Err, Team Captain speaking here.
Jake Smith: Sorry ‘boss’ carry on.
Adam Lucas: Thank you… as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. This is our moment, Showdown’s moment. This is when we show Disney that WE are the flagship, even without the sheer amount of talent we have on our roster that isn’t on this team. We lead, others follow. WE are the difference.
(He lowers the mic, the Showdown crowd buzzing with anticipation.)
Adam Lucas: And guys, this year… the blue brand will NOT be denied.
(The crowd roars as Adam’s music hits again, the three of them stood side by side, a picture we wouldn’t have thought possible.)
Deadprez: There we have it, the final words. Eve, can they, do it?
Eve: They can, no question, I have faith for sure.
Gavin Kirkland: Faith? They are going to do it, I feel it in my bones.
Deadprez: Voltage and Dynasty both have exceptional talents, for me it’s too close to call. We’ll just have to wait and see… good luck Adam Lucas, Xander Payne and Jake Smith.
(The camera pans back to the three of them, who are talking amongst themselves before it cuts to the last commercial break.)
(The camera returns to the ring, where Gina Romano is ready to start the introductions for the main event of tonight’s Showdown.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest set for TV TIME REMAINING, is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: And it is an interbranded TAG TEAM MATCH!
(“Praise The Lord” by Bandokay starts to play as the Hardcore Champion Charlie enters the arena to loud boos from the crowd. Charlie could care less as he makes his way to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! Making his way to the ring and representing Voltage. From Tower Hamlets, London, United Kingdom and representing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Weighing in at 240 pounds. Here is “THE MAN OF ALWAYS” and the Elite Answers Wrestling HARDCORE CHAMPION! CHARLIE MARR!
Deadprez: Here comes the Team Captain for Voltage’s Brand Warfare team. Last week, he helped orchestrate an attack against Showdown’s Team and left them all laying. Tonight, he’s looking to get even one step further ahead against Showdown’s team by getting a victory tonight.
Eve: Not only that, he retained the Hardcore Title against Roberto De La Rosa. He once again showed how dangerous he truly can be when given the opportunity.
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t want to agree since he’s on Voltage, but I can admit that Charlie Marr is very dangerous. Lexi and Ryan need to be careful unless they want to fall once again at Charlie Marr’s feet.
(Charlie enters the ring and he still has the same scowl on his face as he takes his corner and his music fades off. Seconds later, “Primrose” by Dream State starts playing as Daryl Kinkade enters the arena to a mixed reaction from the crowd, but definitely more positive than Charlie as he heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing his tag team partner! From Norwich, England! Weighing 225 pounds. Here is “THE KINK OF ELITE” DARYL KINKADE!
Gavin Kirkland: This is going to be interesting to say the least. MarrKade is teaming together tonight, but there is still animosity between these two individuals.
Eve: But you can’t sleep on this team. Remember they are former Tag Team Champions. They can work together and get it done if they have to. If they can’t put their differences aside, they are in for a huge mess of trouble against Team Dysfunction tonight.
Deadprez: It could also spell the tale at Territorial Invasion. Are we about to witness a precursor? We’ll find out after this next introduction.
(Daryl enters the ring and takes his place in his corner. Charlie and Daryl look at each other with expressionless emotion in their eyes. There is no love lost between the former tag team partners as Daryl’s theme fades off. )
Gina Romano: Introducing their opponents! Weighing in at-
Off-Camera Voice: No.
(The crowd boos as Ryan Wilson’s Promotional Director is making her way to the stage area with a calm, cool and collected demeanor, dressed in a sharp-looking business outfit. She has her own microphone in hand as she stands on the stage just below the big screen to interrupt Gina Romano yet again. )
Demi Knorr: Thank you, Miss Romano. I will handle things from here. Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Miss Demi Knorr! And as the Promotional Director for the man about to be introduced and his tag team partner, I feel it is my duty to do it rather than the usual way.
(The crowd continues to boo Demi Knorr as she continues her ring introduction.)
Demi Knorr: Now introducing, from Detroit, Michigan and Montréal, Québec, Canada respectively! Coming in at a combined weight of 337 pounds! Here is the team of “THE MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUN” LEXI and “THE ARCHITECT” RYAN… JOSEPH… WILSON!!! They are… TEAM DYSFUNCTION!
( ‘The Only Thing They Fear Is YOU’ by Mick Gordon plays over the sound system of the arena as Ryan Wilson and his tag team partner Lexi make their way to the ring as they move past the member of Ryan’s Extended Universe. Ryan gives her a thankful nod before giving his full focus to the ring. Lexi is just staring at the ring with a look of anger and determination in her eyes. They want to make the two Voltage members pay!)
Eve: The reaction a little bit more positive than usual for Team Dysfunction tonight. That’s because they are the home team in this match and not much more than that. But you gotta give credit where credit is due for this team.
Deadprez: They were just an eyelash away from becoming the new Tag Team Champions last week, but unfortunately it just wasn’t meant to be. Tonight might spell a different tale because she is not facing off against Dr. Bethany Blue.
Gavin Kirkland: That’s true. Regardless of who they face, neither Ryan nor Lexi are very happy going into this week. They want to turn momentum on their side while simultaneously getting a victory over Voltage and rub it in their face before Territorial Invasion. Will they do it? We’re about to find out!
(Lexi and Ryan enter the ring as Lexi is ready to attack Charlie and Daryl, but Ryan holds her back and drags her back to their corner. The referee checks all four competitors before calling for the bell. )
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: Here we go! Bell has rung and we are underway with our main event of the evening. Who will walk out victorious? We are going to find out. I wonder who is going to start out this mat…. LOOK AT LEXI!
Gavin Kirkland: LEXI DID NOT WANT TO WAIT ANY LONGER! SHE HAS JUST LUNGED AT CHARLIE MARR! I guess Lexi helped them decide who would start. Lexi is in a very bad mood to say the least and she is about one thread away from snapping.
Deadprez: Charlie shoves Lexi away, BUT LEXI BOUNCES BACK AND CLIMBS ON CHARLIE’S BACK! Lexi hanging on tight and Charlie doing whatever he can throw Lexi off, BUT LEXI JUST CLAWED CHARLIE’S EYES!
Eve: Charlie holding his eyes in pain and LEXI IS NOW BITING! LEXI IS BITING THE SIDE OF CHARLIE’S HEAD! The referee starts the count as Lexi stops biting. Lexi is pulling out all stops to make sure that she and Ryan walk out of Berlin with a victory!
Gavin Kirkland: Lexi tries to go for an Irish whip, but Charlie easily counters it and Lexi hits the ropes. Lexi with the rebound as Charlie puts his head down. Lexi stops right in her tracks AND LEXI JUST KICKS CHARLIE RIGHT IN THE FACE!
Deadprez: WHAT A SHOT BY LEXI! Charlie Marr is holding his cheekbone as he staggers back. Lexi takes full advantage of the situation and pulls him down for a quick rollup. Charlie’s shoulders are down!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO–
Eve: Charlie gets the shoulder up as Lexi gets the first near fall of the match. Lexi normally would use the hair to pull her opponents to her corner, but that won’t work on Charlie. Lexi will have to go back to the drawing board to use her underhanded tactics.
Gavin Kirkland: You spoke too soon because LEXI HAS HOLD OF CHARLIE’S BEARD! LEXI HAS A HANDFUL OF CHARLIE MARR’S BEARD AND IS DRAGGING HIM BY THE FACE TO HER CORNER! Lexi is a little crazy, but she is very creative when given the chance.
Deadprez: LEXI JUST USED THE BEARD TO SNAPMARE CHARLIE OVER HER SHOULDER! Lexi just claps away the stray hairs from in between her fingers before SHE KICKS CHARLIE RIGHT IN THE SPINE! SHE GRABS HOLD OF CHARLIE’S BEARD AGAIN AS SHE MAKES THE TAG!
(TAG!)
Eve: Ryan Wilson now in the match as Team Dysfunction look for a double suplex AND THEY DRAPE CHARLIE ACROSS THE TOP ROPE! Lexi exits the ring as Ryan gets an evil smile across his face. Charlie still across the top rope as Ryan brings his foot back–
Deadprez: OH GOOD GOSH ALMIGHTY! RYAN WILSON JUST KICKED CHARLIE MARR ACROSS THE FACE! CHARLIE HOLDS HIS NOSE AS TUMBLES BACK INTO THE RING AND LANDS HARD! That shot could have broken his nose or knocked some teeth out.
Gavin Kirkland: FIELD GOAL FOR THREE POINTS FOR TEAM DYSFUNCTION! :mjlol: I think it’s safe to say that Ryan and Lexi are playing for keeps in this match. Case in point in that they are completely dismantling Charlie Marr right now. Daryl Kinkade doesn’t care much for Charlie, but Daryl wants in this match so badly.
Eve: Team Dysfunction have been wanting to make a statement and they are doing so right now. Ryan Wilson brings Charlie back to his feet and now has Charlie on his shoulder. Ryan looking for a running powerslam–
Gavin Kirkland: CHARLIE WITH A RAKE OF THE EYES OF HIS OWN! CHARLIE CLAWED RYAN’S EYES BEFORE SLIDING OFF RYAN’S SHOULDER! Ryan turns around and HE IS MET WITH A HEADBUTT FROM CHARLIE MARR! RYAN SEEING SOME STARS AFTER THAT SHOT!
Deadprez:Charlie dazed a little as well as he fell to a knee, but here comes Ryan! Ryan reaches for Charlie, BUT CHARLIE WITH A HANDFUL OF TIGHTS SENDING RYAN THROAT FIRST INTO THE TOP ROPE! Ryan is holding his throat as Charlie brings him up and takes him down with a nice snap suplex.
Eve: Charlie snapped Ryan into his corner as he grabbed a handful of Ryan’s hair and SMASHES RYAN’S HEAD OVER AND OVER AGAIN INTO THE TURNBUCKLE. The referee starts a count and Charlie finally lets Ryan go and tags in Daryl Kinkade.
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Daryl Kinkade now in the match and it looks like Charlie is yelling something at Daryl before he exits the ring.
Charlie Marr: (off-mic) Your turn. Don’t you go do something stupid and screw this match up for Voltage.
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl didn’t like that one bit AND DARYL SHOVES CHARLIE OFF THE APRON! THIS IS SO AWESOME! CHARLIE TRYING TO GET BACK INTO THE RING AND TRYING TO GET AT DARYL! WE MIGHT BE WITNESSING AN IMPLOSION OF VOLTAGE!
Deadprez: The referee is in between Charlie and Daryl right now to make sure that they don’t break into their own wrestling match. These beat the tar out of each other at Pain for Pride and there is still years of animosity between them.
Eve: Team Dysfunction is loving this right now. The referee is still with Charlie Marr trying to get him back on the apron and that gives Ryan Wilson an opportunity TO CLOBBER DARYL FROM BEHIND WITH A DOUBLE AX HANDLE!
Deadprez: Ryan drags Daryl over to his corner as Lexi gets on the top turnbuckle. Ryan holds Daryl’s legs and positions him on the ropes AS LEXI JUMPS AND HITS A LEG DROP FROM THE TOP ROPE! DARYL TWISTED UP ON THE LANDING AND THAT WAS A BAD LANDING!
Gavin Kirkland: It serves Voltage right for their attack last week. Because of Charlie’s temper, Daryl just got blasted with a double team move from Team Dysfunction. Speaking of Team Dysfunction, the referee has finally got back into the match after calming Charlie down. Ryan is dragging Daryl away from the corner as he hooks both legs for the cover. SHOWDOWN IS GONNA STEAL IT!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!!
TTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRR—
Deadprez: DARYL KINKADE GETS THE SHOULDER UP AND RYAN CAN’T BELIEVE IT! That was very close and they almost won it thanks to the unintentional distraction. Instead of getting mad, Ryan just mounts Daryl and just starts throwing lefts and rights into Daryl’s face. Referee is admonishing Ryan to open those closed fists, but he does open his hands before the ref starts the count.
Eve: Ryan brings Daryl back to his feet and whips him into the ropes, BUT LEXI WITH A KICK TO DARYL’S BACK THAT WENT COMPLETELY UNDETECTED BY THE REFEREE! Daryl quickly turns around AND HE FIRES A FOREARM RIGHT INTO LEXI’S FACE AND THAT KNOCKS HER OFF THE APRON!
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan saw that and is going for a rollup on Daryl with his back turned, BUT DARYL HELD ONTO THE ROPES AND RYAN FLINGS HIMSELF BACK LANDING ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! Daryl has now positioned himself on the bottom rope waiting for Ryan to get back to his feet.
Deadprez: Ryan is back up and turns around to Daryl. DARYL SPRINGS OFF THE BOTTOM ROPE AND GRABS RYAN’S NECK BEFORE PLANTING HIM WITH THE REVERSE STO! RYAN GOES FACE FIRST TO THE MAT AS DARYL HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE–
Gavin Kirkland: RYAN KICKS OUT AT TWO! THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT MATCH SO FAR! BOTH TEAMS HAVE BEEN BRINGING IT… even though I am kind of rooting for Lexi and Ryan since they are Showdown!
Deadprez: Daryl brings Ryan back to his feet and whips him into the turnbuckle. Daryl at full speed to the corner AND RYAN FALLS OUT OF THE WAY AND DARYL GOES CHEST FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! DARYL WALKS OUT OF THE CORNER AND RYAN SENDS HIM FACE FIRST AGAIN INTO TURNBUCKLE WITH A MODIFIED SNAKE EYES!
Eve: Daryl in the corner AND RYAN WITH A CHOP TO THE CHEST! DARYL’S EYES GO WIDE AS RYAN SITS DARYL ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND QUICKLY FOLLOWS SUIT! Ryan is trying to lock Daryl’s waist, BUT DARYL IS FIGHTING IT!
Deadprez: RYAN COMES BACK WITH A POINTED ELBOW RIGHT INTO DARYL’S EYE! THAT COULD HAVE BROKEN DARYL’S ORBITAL BONE! RYAN NOW HAS THE LOCK AROUND DARYL’S WAIST! NO WAY! RYAN, DON’T DO THIS! GUTWRENCH SUPERPLEX FROM THE TOP ROPE—
Gavin Kirkland: HOW IN THE WORLD DID DARYL LAND ON HIS FEET? RYAN SOMEHOW ALSO LANDED ON HIS FEET TO KEEP HIS BALANCE! THAT SUPLEX COULD HAVE ENDED THE MATCH IF IT HIT!
(TAG!)
Eve: CHARLIE MARR JUST TAGGED HIMSELF IN AS HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF TOWARDS RYAN WILSON AND CATCHES RYAN IN THE FACE WITH A BIG BOOT! RYAN MIGHT BE OUT ON HIS FEET! HIS EYES LOOK LIKE THEY ROLLED INTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!
Deadprez: As quick as that, Charlie Marr turns the tide of the match in the favor of the former Tag Team Champions. Charlie with another kick to the gut as that doubles Ryan over. Charlie hits the ropes and then rebounds. Charlie at full speed AND HE JUST CLOBBERS RYAN IN THE FACE WITH THAT RUNNING KNEE LIFT! THE FORCE OF THE KNEE SENDS RYAN FLYING BACK!
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan Wilson sent back into the ropes and Ryan holds onto the top rope to keep his balance as well as get his bearings back, BUT CHARLIE SWEEPS THE LEGS OUT FROM UNDER RYAN AND RYAN GETS TURNED INSIDE OUT BEFORE HE HITS THE MAT!
Deadprez: But that doesn’t stop Charlie. Charlie picks Ryan up and forces Ryan’s head down. Charlie lifts him up AND DRIVES RYAN TO THE MAT WITH A FALLING POWERBOMB! RYAN’S HEAD BOUNCES OFF THE MAT! CHARLIE IS PROUD OF HIS HANDIWORK AS HE DRAGS RYAN AWAY FROM THE ROPES AS HE CLIMBS THE TURNBUCKLE
Eve: Charlie decides to stop on the second rope waiting for his target to make it back to his feet in the hopes of finishing this match off. Ryan is slowly getting up, but he has made it back to his feet. Ryan turns around and as soon as he does, CHARLIE JUMPS OFF THE SECOND ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: CHARLIE WENT FOR THE DIVING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT AND HE FOUND NOTHING BUT CANVAS! DEATH OR GLORY? I THINK THAT CHARLIE CHOSE DEATH BY FORCE WITH THAT LANDING! CHARLIE SLOWLY MAKES IT BACK TO HIS FEET AS RYAN WHIPS HIM TO THE ROPES! RYAN CATCHES HIM ON THE REBOUND AND PLANTS CHARLIE WITH THE LA BOMBE BLEU! BLUE THUNDER BOMB RIGHT ON THE MONEY AS RYAN HOOKS THE LEG! SHOWDOWN FOR THE WIN!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!
TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!
Deadprez: CHARLIE KICKS OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE REFEREE COUNTS THREE! OH MY GOSH THAT WAS SO CLOSE! RYAN THOUGHT HE HAD IT WITH THE BLUE THUNDER BOMB AND SO DID LEXI! DID YOU HEAR HER YELL WHEN CHARLIE KICKED OUT! NOW RYAN IS IN FULL CONTROL AND… HOLD ON JUST A SECOND! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON HERE?
(The crowd immediately starts to boo loudly as the rest of team Voltage Brand Warfare, Ronan Malosi and the Unified Tag Team Champions, The Prescription, are walking down the entrance ramp to show solidarity for their team.)
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK WHO IS COMING DOWN THE RAMP! THERE’S THE REST OF TEAM VOLTAGE! THERE COMES THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE PRESCRIPTION ALONG WITH THE TEAM MASCOT RONAN MALOSI!
Eve: Come on, Gavin, be nice. You are aware that Ronan is not the mascot for Voltage and he is actually a competing member of the Voltage Brand Warfare team, right?
Gavin Kirkland: What’s your point? You attack the blue brand and I immediately don’t like you. Not that I really liked that bald nitwit before. Did I ever like him? If I did, my eyes have now been opened to the truth.
Deadprez: Regardless of your new viewpoint of Ronan, Gavin, Voltage is taking their place at ringside to will on Daryl and Charlie to win this match and give Voltage an edge over Showdown before Territorial Invasion.
Eve: Ryan caught off guard as he catches The Prescription in his sight. He goes over to the ropes and he starts yelling at Dr. Bethany Blue and Sheridan Muller. He probably thinks they have a lot of nerve to be out here right now since Ryan is still not happy about what happened between them last week, but that cost Ryan AS CHARLIE COMES FROM BEHIND AND HAS HIM LOCKED IN THE DREADED SLEEPER HOLD!
Gavin Kirkland: RYAN WILSON IS TRYING TO GET FREE AS CHARLIE DRAGS HIM BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! RYAN TRYING TO FIGHT IT AS MUCH AS HE CAN, BUT CHARLIE BRINGS THEM BOTH TO THE MAT! HE TURNED THE SLEEPER HOLD INTO TRANQUILITY! CHARLIE MARR HAS TRANQUILITY LOCKED IN!
Deadprez: CHARLIE HAS THAT REAR NAKED CHOKE LOCKED IN TIGHT AND RYAN WILSON HAS NOWHERE TO GO AND IF HE DOESN’T THINK FAST, HE WILL LOSE THIS MATCH! WAIT! LOOK WHO IS COMING DOWN THE RAMP NOW!
(Now the crowd is cheering loudly as the rest of team Showdown Brand Warfare are heading to ringside. Chris Elite, Jon Kelton, and Donovan Duke are walking down to the ring with their eyes locked on Malsoi, Blue, and Muller and making sure that they don’t pull any funny business.)
Deadprez: TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY! Not to be outdone, here comes the rest of Team Showdown! Elite, Kelton, and Duke evening the odds and provide extra support for Ryan and Lexi.
Eve: Now Team Showdown is at ringside and they are trying to will Ryan Wilson on. They might not like him very much, but they don’t want to see him pass out to Charlie Marr. Listen to Chris Elite slapping the edge of the ring to help get Ryan Wilson back into this match.
Gavin Kirkland: This is kind of weird to be honest, some of the Showdown faithful are also clapping their hands to help get Ryan Wilson back into this match. Duke and Kelton are watching the action closely as Ryan is starting to move again!
Deadprez: This is almost an exact repeat of last week with Sheridan Muller. Ryan is planting his feet firmly on the mat before he KICKS BACK AND FLIPS BACKWARD OVER CHARLIE! HE DID IT! RYAN GOT FREE AS CHARLIE LETS THE TRANQUILITY CHOKE GO!
Eve: No pinfall attempt this time around. Charlie no doubt watched the match last week and took notes. Ryan is backing away to the ropes to give himself a breather, but Charlie is right on the attack. Charlie goes for Ryan, BUT RYAN GRABS CHARLIE BY THE TRUNKS AND SENDS HIM THROUGH THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: Charlie Marr lands on the apron as Ryan reaches for Charlie and CHARLIE SENDS RYAN THROAT FIRST OVER THE TOP ROPE! Charlie has Ryan in a facelock AND CHARLIE IS GOING FOR A SUPLEX OUT TO THE FLOOR, BUT RYAN IS BLOCKING IT! CHARLIE TRIES AGAIN AND RYAN BLOCKS IT AGAIN! RYAN CHANGES MOMENTUM AND DROPS CHARLIE ACROSS THE ROPES WITH A MODIFIED HANGMAN!
Deadprez: Ryan grabs Charlie by the head and has him dangling on the top rope. Ryan has a facelock of his own BEFORE RYAN PLANTS CHARLIE ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH A DDT BEFORE RYAN FALLS TO THE MAT AND NOW BOTH MEN ARE DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: Both men are feeling the effects of their big moves as the referee is down checking on both competitors. Neither man is moving and the referee has no other choice than to start the count.
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE!
Eve: Both men are starting to slowly move as both teammates are reaching out for their respective tags. Both Lexi and Daryl are yelling for their respective partners to get the tag.
Referee: (off-mic) FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
Deadprez: Charlie is on his knees and crawling to his corner as Ryan took more time to shake the cobwebs out before he started crawling towards Lexi.
Referee: (off-mic) SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE!
Gavin Kirkland: The referee has reached a count of nine and if neither competitor can make a tag before ten, then this match is over and will be ruled a draw. Luckily for us, we don’t have to worry about that because we are about to see a tag. Unlucky for us, it’s Charlie Marr who reached his corner first and he tags in Daryl Kinkade.
(TAG!)
Deadprez: The referee’s count stops as now Daryl is in the match as he runs and grabs Ryan’s leg and stops him from making a tag. Ryan is back up and bouncing on that one free leg as he takes a few swings at Daryl that unfortunately all miss.
Eve: But he does pull off one last ditch maneuver! RYAN CATCHES DARYL IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH A BEAUTIFUL ENZUIGIRI! Daryl is staggered as he lets go of Ryan. That gives Ryan a chance to finally make the tag to Lexi, who is about to fall into the ring by reaching for the tag! Ryan is a fingertip away from making the tag to Lexi. CAN… HE… MAKE… IT?
…
(TAG!)
Gavin Kirkland: RYAN GETS THE TAG AND LEXI IS OFFICIALLY BACK INTO THE MATCH! Daryl runs towards the corner AND HE IS MET WITH A LEXI FOREARM TO THE FACE! Daryl staggered again as Lexi uses the bottom rope as a springboard to catapult herself into the ring. She locks her legs around Daryl’s head AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A BEAUTIFUL HEADSCISSOR TAKEOVER! DARYL KINKADE SENT FOR A RIDE!
Deadprez: Daryl back to his feet again AND LEXI TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A FLIP NECKBREAKER! LEXI IS ON FIRE RIGHT NOW! Lexi now grabs a handful of Daryl’s hair AND THROWS HIM ACROSS THE RING! DARYL’S FACE SPLATS AGAINST THE CANVAS!
Eve: I don’t think Lexi is done yet. She runs over to Charlie and Daryl’s corner AND SHE HITS A DROPKICK TO CHARLIE’S KNEE! NOPE! CHARLIE JUMPS TO MISS IT AND NOW HE HAS A HOLD OF LEXI! THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE GOOD!
Deadprez: CHARLIE LOOKS READY TO PUNCH LEXI, BUT HERE COMES DARYL KINKADE TO ATTACK! LEXI SAW IT COMING AND DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY! DARYL ALMOST CLOBBERS CHARLIE BUT HE PUT ON THE BREAKS IN JUST ENOUGH TIME TO PREVENT A MISCUE!
Gavin Kirkland: CHARLIE IS GLARING AT DARYL AS DARYL TURNS AROUND AND EATS A SUPERKICK FROM LEXI! LIGHTS OUT BY LEXI! THE FORCE OF THE KICK SENDS DARYL BACK AND CRASHING INTO CHARLIE! CHARLIE KNOCKED OFF THE APRON AS DARYL BOUNCES BACK AND LEXI PLANTS HIM WITH A DDT BEFORE FLOATING INTO THE PIN! WILL THE COMBO BE ENOUGH FOR THE WIN?
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOO!!
THHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!
Deadprez: DARYL KINKADE KICKS OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE THREE COUNT! LEXI ABOUT WON THE MATCH RIGHT THERE FOR HER TEAM AND LEXI CAN’T BELIEVE IT! LEXI JUST LET OUT A LOUD HIGH PITCHED AND ALMOST PSYCHOTIC SCREAM! OH GOOD GRIEF! MY EARS!
Eve: Both teams at ringside are holding their ears, but Voltage looks a little more in pain since Showdown is probably used to it. Lexi is not happy at all as she mounts Daryl. LEXI IS JUST BLATANTLY CHOKING DARYL! LEXI MIGHT HAVE JUST SNAPPED! NOW SHE IS JUST THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHT IN DARYL’S FACE!
Gavin Kirkland: Lexi has had enough fun punching Daryl’s face in and now she is looking for the FOH to help Daryl get the Frick Outta Here! Lexi flips back, BUT DARYL STAYS ON HIS FEET! LEXI PUSHES DARYL TO THE ROPES! DARYL REBOUNDS AND GRABS LEXI’S NECK AND PLANTS HER WITH THE MONKE FLIP! FRONT FLIP DDT PLANTS LEXI ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD AS DARYL HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHRRREEEEEEE!!
Deadprez: RYAN WILSON COMES IN AND BREAKS UP THE COVER! GREAT TEAMWORK BY RYAN AND LEXI, BUT HERE COMES CHARLIE MARR! CHARLIE AND RYAN ARE THROWING FISTS TRYING TO WEAKEN THE OTHER! RYAN WITH A KICK TO THE GUT AS HE HITS THE ROPES! RYAN REBOUNDS AND HE RAN RIGHT INTO THE HEADMASTER RITUAL! SPINE ROCKING SPINEBUSTER CONNECTS AND RYAN HAS ROLLED OUTSIDE THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl was watching the brawl and that gives Lexi a chance to recover. Lexi grabs Daryl by the head AND SHE LOOKS FOR A SPRINGBOARD BULLDOG! LEXI SPRINGS OFF THE TOP ROPE BUT DARYL STOPS HER! LEXI IN THE AIR AS DARYL REPOSITIONS HER AND PLANTS HER WITH A MODIFIED HAIL TO THE VICTOR! PILEDRIVER SPIKES LEXI ON HER HEAD AND DARYL GOES FOR WHAT COULD BE THE FINAL TAG OF THE MATCH!
(TAG!)
Eve: Charlie tagged in as Daryl Kinkade hands Lexi off to Charlie and Daryl heads up the top rope. Charlie lifts Lexi up into a powerbomb position and backs up a little. Daryl is ready to go AND HE JUMPS FROM THE TOP ROPE AND LEXI IS IN HUGE TROUBLE—
Deadprez: THAT’S THE FALLEN ANGEL! WHAT A BLAST FROM THE PAST! POWERBOMB AND METEORA COMBO BY MARRKADE AS LEXI WAS JUST PLANTED TO THE MAT! RYAN IS TRYING TO GET BACK IN THE RING BUT HE IS CUT OFF BY DARYL KINKADE AS CHARLIE GOES FOR THE COVER! LEGS ARE HOOKED!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHRRRREEEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The bell rings as “Praise the Lord” starts playing again as Charlie rolls off of Lexi and gets back to his feet.)
Gina Romano: Here are your winners! DARYL KINKADE and the EAW HARDCORE CHAMPION CHARLIE MARR!
(Daryl rolls back into the ring as he and Charlie have their arms raised in victory. Charlie snatches his arm back and glares at the referee while Daryl rolls his eyes towards Charlie.)
Deadprez: What a match! Great tag team action for our Showdown main event. Being a little biased, of course we wanted Ryan and Lexi to win it for Showdown, but after a little trouble, MarrKade showed hints of that tag team ingenuity that brought them success and a victory here tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: You gotta give it to Ryan and Lexi. They are certainly showing chops as a team and they were close to winning this match on a few occasions, but it just wasn’t meant to be this week. It’s only a matter of time before they get their breakthrough victory.
Eve: Without a doubt. But right now congratulations to Daryl and Char… WAIT A SECOND!
(Charlie drops down and starts throwing fists into the face of the still down Lexi as Daryl goes back to attack Ryan.)
Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS ENOUGH! THEY DID THIS LAST WEEK AND THEY ARE DOING IT ALL OVER AGAIN! SUCH BACK FIGHTERS THESE VOLTAGE ROSTER MEMBERS ARE! ATTACKING RYAN AND LEXI ONCE AGAIN!
(After seeing the attack, Elite, Donovan, and Kelton roll into the ring to break up the attack. They have seen all that they could handle.)
Deadprez: THERE’S THE NEWFOUND TEAMWORK THAT WE’VE BEEN SEEING! HERE COME REINFORCEMENTS! TEAM SHOWDOWN HAS HAD ENOUGH AND THEY ARE IN THE RING READY TO SETTLE THE SCORE AND TEACH THEM A LESSON!
(After seeing Showdown roll into the ring, the rest of the Voltage team quickly roll into the ring to run interference.)
Eve: THIS SHOULD COME TO NO SURPRISE TO ANYBODY! TWO HOT HEADED TEAMS NOW IN THE CENTER OF THE RING AND WE HAVE ANOTHER FIGHT BREAKING DOWN BETWEEN THESE TWO ON SHOWDOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: Come on, Showdown! Show these Voltage people what exactly we do on the blue brand. WE WRESTLE, but we can also fight with the toughest of them. This is interesting because Jon Kelton will be competing against Sheridan Muller tomorrow night on Voltage.
Deadprez: It’s a fight that we are most definitely witnessing! Kelton and Kinkade! Blue and Lexi! Wilson and Muller! Duke and Malosi! Naturally, the captains are gonna fight as Chris Elite and Charlie Marr are throwing down! WHAT A FIGHT WE ARE WITNESSING! THESE TWO TEAMS ABSOLUTELY HATE EACH OTHER!
(After they start fighting for a bit, security and extra referees come down to the ring and try their best to break up the fight… and they are struggling.)
Eve: I guess they’ve had enough of watching these teams beat each other up because now here comes extra referees and the security staff to break them up.
Gavin Kirkland: :mjcry: Why are these guys such buzzkills? Of course they break up the fight whenever Showdown is winning. That’s ok. Look at our Showdown team! Slipping through the cracks and still fighting even while being pulled away.
(Security and the referees are doing their darndest to break these ten up, but it’s almost to no avail because they keep breaking free and beating each other up.)
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: This crowd is playing music that I like to hear! I’m with them! Let them keep fighting! Let Showdown beat the tar out of Voltage! WE WRESTLE AND I AM LOVING IT SO MUCH!
Deadprez: What a melee we are witnessing here in Berlin, Germany! We hate to cut away from all this action so soon, but we are almost out of time. Thank you all once again for joining us for Saturday Night Showdown! I’m Deadprez and for Gavin Kirkland and Eve, good night everybody! We will see you all for Territorial Invasion!
(The final shot shows the Voltage and Showdown teams still scratching and clawing trying to get at each other while security is struggling to hold all ten competitors back as they continue to scratch and claw to continue fighting and as the screen fades to black.)
