(EAW Intro Plays)

Narrator: Romans 13:11 “And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.”

(The scene opens up on a long shot of the kingdom. The stairway that once ran from the ground to the heavens above begins to fade and the remaining Elitists still fighting on the steps desperately try to face towards the gates. Those who fail to reach it, plummet towards the earth before the gates themselves close for good)

Narrator: One. Final. Chance. Your quest for immortality reaches the final hour. The bells toll for one last opportunity before the gates lock you out for yet another year. The days have passed and we arrive at the very end of it all; for those still seeking, tick tock, your time is running out.

(Clips from Day Two of Pain For Pride begin to air. They begin with Dr. Bethany Blue retaining her Specialists Championship and Xavier Williams and Harlow Reichert winning the Unified Tag Team Championships)

Narrator: Wrapped in invaluable gold, the riches seized through grand victory. An establishment of one’s superiority and the beginning of a new chapter for others seeking more than just gold itself, but rather, to put pain and misfortune behind them. For the defeated, there is still a tomorrow worth looking forward to.

(Next, the clips show Cameron Ella Ava with her emotional victory over Rex McAllister before fading to Jack Ripley connecting with “YOU’LL FLOAT TOO!” on Theron Nikolas leading to his victory)

Narrator: It is these moments, not where gold lies around one’s waist but the emotion, the meaning of the moment itself, that define one’s legacy. Realising dreams and conquering your past. They signal the end of stories and the beginning of another as the world now watches with bated breath just what comes next.

(The clips cut to a clip of SOSA Henderson standing victorious over Chris Elite.)

Narrator: The future becomes wide open. It becomes something that one can dictate at will. Whatever it is you seek, that which you could not find in this kingdom now, is surely there to be found.

(Finally the clips end on Harper Lee defeating Sierra Bradford. The bloody, violent war occured throughout the SoFi Stadium precinct looked more like Hell than any kind of Heaven)

Narrator: The lengths you went to. Were they worth it? Were they justified? Is this the glory that you sought? A desire so heavily fuelled by a feeling, a belief of necessity that only violence can end it. You stained the heavens with blood, are you satisfied?

(The camera pans inside the kingdom once more. A marble staircase races up the Hollywood Hills and at the very top, Kassidy Heart sits on her throne once more with the Answers World Championship. She rises out of it and looks down at the Elitists who managed to successfully climb the stairway and now look to take the Answers World Championship away. She smirks and licks her lips at the carnage she is bound to inflict)

Narrator: And you. You are now…undisputed. In your position above so many, in your claim in achieving immortality. Yet now that you sit on the throne of thrones, you are now the one who others view as a despot…a tyrant with a desire to overthrow them. 

(The camera fades to black for a brief moment before fading open once more. The remaining Elitists still to participate at Pain For Pride clash on the streets of Los Angeles, this heavenly kingdom. The camera moves through the chaos and arrives at the center, where New Eden goes to war with the likes of Andre Walker, TLA and of course Malcolm Jones)

Narrator: Tonight, the finale of this fourteenth annual event arrives. The final battles will be won and lost, the final opportunities to grasp all that you desire. Do not hesitate, do not let this chance slip through your fingers. For the gates shall close and once more the twelve month journey to next year’s event begins. **PAIN FOR PRIDE CONCLUDES TONIGHT!!!**

(The Pain For Pride 14 graphics loop plays and the camera cuts to SoFi Stadium. Once again, the stadium lights up with pyrotechnics racing around the Oculus Ring and exploding around the stage. The crowd go insane for the display of colour and noise as they’re welcomed to the final day of the event)

SCREENBAR — SOLD OUT

SCREENBAR — SOFI STADIUM. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.

(The camera runs across the broadcasting teams at ringside before it concludes on the Voltage announce team)

James Peters: ON THIS FINAL DAY OF ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING’S MOST PRESTIGIOUS EVENT, THE STAGE THAT IS SIMPLY IRREPLICABLE AND IRREPLACEABLE, IT IS MY HONOR TO WELCOME YOU TO PAIN FOR PRIDE! IT ALL COMES TO A CLOSE, FINAL MOMENTS MADE, FINAL DREAMS ACHIEVED AND FINAL DREAMS DESTROYED. HELLO EVERYONE, I’M JAMES PETERS JOINED BY RICH RUSSILLO AND PERSEPHONE AND RICH, WE’RE THRILLED TO BE SENDING THIS ONE HOME.

Rich Russillo: Absolutely James. This has quickly become one of the most memorable Pain For Pride events in it’s fourteen year history. This final day in years gone by has had some of the greatest matches and moments of any year, it has shifted the foundations of this company and sparked new eras and that is exactly what will be answered tonight. What exactly is the future for our Sunday night brand? Will New Eden accomplish all that they had set out to achieve or will their aspirations be cut short?

Persephone: WHO CARES. MY REXY WILL STILL BE THE BEST THING ON SUNDAY NIGHTS NO MATTER WHO WINS! MALCOLM JONES OR DRAKE KING? PPPFFFFTTTTTT…

(The camera cuts away during Persephone’s rant as the first match graphic appears on the screen.)

(The camera fades to ringside, where Gina Romano is seen with a microphone in her hand.)

Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TRIPLE THREAT MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!

(“Roll With Me” by Charli XCX hits as the crowd is raining down some boos. But there are still some cheers that can be heard from the crowd. Andrea Valentine walks out into the stadium wearing an all white attire. She looks around the brand new stadium scanning everywhere, before she makes her way down the ring completely ignoring the boos.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM ORLANDO, FLORIDA…WEIGHING IN AT 110 POUNDS….ANNNDDREEEEAAA VAALLLLLEENNTTINNNNNEEEE!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland:

Eve: WHY DO YOU HAVE THAT?!?

Gavin Kirkland: Don’t worry about it. It’s time to call my favorite match of this event. 

Deadprez: ANYWAYS! We’ve all heard the comments from Andrea the past couple months since returning. It’s just been one big struggle since the season started. She hasn’t really had that big moment yet to show she is still the person who carried Voltage on her back last season. Things didn’t get any better at Grand Rampage when this whole mess started with Raven, and then dragging Consuela into it, but she said she doesn’t regret anything and doesn’t really care on the effects this match will have long term. She’s focused and you can see it in her eyes that she wants this Pain for Pride moment more than anything. I think it’s going to be tough to stop her. 

(“We Appreciate Power” by Grimes hits as the crowd erupts in cheers as they hear the music, and Consuela Rose Ava steps onto the stage wearing an all red attire. She stands at the top of the stage for several seconds, soaking in the moment, and taking a deep breath before making her way to the ring. Her eyes focused on Andrea inside the ring.)

Gina Romano: AND MAKING HER WAY TO THE RING….FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA….WEIGHING IN AT 120 POUNDS…SHE IS “THE PERFECTIONIST”…..CONNNSSUUEELLLLAAAA ROOOOSSSEEEE AVVVVVAAAAA!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland:

Eve: :wtf: SERIOUSLY?!

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT?!

Deadprez: Consuela Rose Ava heads into this match on a high. She recently just had one of the greatest Interwire Championship reigns of all time, has competed in several high profile matchups, and even came within inches of becoming Answers World Champion. Everybody has the opinion this girl has what it takes to step out of that shadow and more than what her career has projected her to be, and be a World Champion. 

Deadprez: Tonight, she faces two former World Champions at the top of their game, although it may not be how she wanted it to go down, she’s still got the opportunity and you know she’s going to run with it here tonight. Consuela originally was just trying to play the peacekeeper before things got personal and she got dragged into this and that’s why she’s here. In my own opinion, she makes the match just that much better with her in it, and it’s a very real possibility considering the run she’s been on that she walks away with the victory and the huge Pian for Pride moment here tonight. 

(“In My Bones” by The Score plays throughout SoFi Stadium next, and the crowd once again erupts as Raven Roberts makes her way onto the stage. She quickly glances around the stadium soaking in the moment before beginning her walk down to the ring. You can just see the look of determination on her face.)

Gina Romano: AND FROM ATLANTA, GEORGIA…WEIGHING IN AT 134 POUNDS…SHE IS “THE BIRD OF PREY”….RAVVVVEEEENNNN ROOOBBBERRRRTTTTSSSS!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland:

(The sound is heard of Eve throwing the lotion.)

Gavin Kirkland: :skip: You just jealous cause you don’t look like any of them 3 queens?

Deadprez: Raven Roberts went through a rollercoaster of emotions the past year both professionally and personally. But, she came back at King Of Elite and made a huge statement defeating the now former Universal Women’s Champion, Darcy May Morgan. She followed it up with wins against Minerva and Harlow Reichert in back to back weeks. And, she thought she was ready to make that next step in main eventing Pain for Pride again, and the Grand Rampage match was her ticket, until it was all taken away by somebody Raven thought would always have her back no matter what. 

Deadprez: Ever since then, it’s just gotten dirty and ugly between all three of these Beating Hearts members, and we all just wonder if the bond will ever be stable or is it forever broken after this is all said and done. We’re about to find out. Raven wants that Pain for Pride moment especially after last year, and you can see it on her face. It’s going to be tough to stop her here tonight. 

(DING! DING! DING!)

Eve: AND THIS TRIPLE THREAT MATCH IS UNDERWAY! You can feel the tension between all three of these women as it’s gotten personal. It’s almost as if you can know what each woman is thinking by the look in their eyes as they stare at one another. Never thought we would see these three compete against each other on the Grandest Stage, but here we are. 

Deadprez: A slow start so far into this match as not one of them has made a first move yet. The three of them are not taking their eyes off each other. All three women circle the ring, waiting for one of the other to make the first move–

Deadprez: WHOA!! ANDREA VALENTINE RUNS AND TAKES OUT CONSUELA WITH A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE THAT DRIVES CONSUELA THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE FLOOR! 

Gavin Kirkland: Is there anything this woman can’t do that isn’t hot? :wow: 

Eve: Andrea takes out Consuela in the opening of this matchup, and Raven is right behind Andrea as she turns around Andrea and delivers a right hand to the face that drives Andrea into the corner nearby! Raven now steps to Andrea in the corner, SHOULDER THRUST TO THE MIDSECTION! ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE! Raven taking out a lot of frustration for the things Andrea has done and said to her since Grand Rampage. And Raven grabs ahold of the head of Andrea, looking to go for the running bulldog…BUT ANDREA LIFTS RAVEN UP AND HOLDS HER IN THE AIR–AND SHE WALKS RAVEN TO THE ROPES…BUT RAVEN KICKS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND FINISHES THROUGH WITH THE BULLDOG RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! 

Deadprez: And now Raven mounts on top of Andrea on the mat, and she begins throwing several haymakers as Andrea tries to cover up the face, but is having a tough time doing so as erach shot Raven throws, it gets harder and harder! Raven taking all that anger that has been built up since Grand Rampage when this issue between them really started as we stated previously. And now it’s Raven who’s again in control of this match as she lifts Andrea up to her feet, and Andrea throws a shot to the midsection of Raven as Andrea is on one knee–AND A BIG UPPERCUT FROM ANDREA TO THE FACE THAT STUNS RAVEN AND KNOCKS HER BACK A STEP OR TWO! ANDREA IS FACE TO FACE WITH RAVEN IN THE CENTER OF THE RING… BUT OH GOD, LOOK OUT–

Gavin Kirkland: CROSSBODY FROM CONSUELA ROSE AVA FROM THE TOP ROPE TAKES OUT BOTH RAVEN AND ANDREA!! Raven rolls away underneath the bottom rope on the apron as Consuela pulls herself up to her feet in the corner measuring Andrea! And you know Consuela can’t wait to get at Andrea for all the things she has said to her throughout the past month or so! 

Eve: Andrea Valentine is up and turns around–AND IN COMES CONSUELA WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK TO THE CHEST THAT DRIVES ANDREA BACK INTO THE CORNER! Consuela takes a few steps back now, and she runs with a full head of steam–AND CONSUELA CONNECTS WITH THE SPLASH IN THE CORNER, AND SHE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A HIP TOSS AS ANDREA LANDS BACK FIRST IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! Consuela looks up as she hops on the second turnbuckle behind her–AND SHE LEAPS OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND CONNECTS WITH THE TORNADO DDT THAT SPIKES ANDREA VALENTINE’S HEAD INTO THE MAT! COVER FROM CONSUELA!

OONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!

TTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: KICK OUT FROM MY QUEEN! :blessed: 

Eve: And it’s like Consuela expected it as she looks to go right back on the offense here, as she picks up Andrea off the mat–BUT ANDREA DRIVES CONSUELA BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER BEHIND HER! Right hand from Andrea, and then another one before she lifts Consuela up on the top rope, and then connects with another right hand, and Andrea looks like she’s about to go up top–

Deadprez: BUT RAVEN FROM BEHIND WITH THE RUNNING BOOT! ANDREA SIDESTEPS AND RAVEN HITS CONSUELA RIGHT IN THE HEAD WHO’S A SITTING DUCK ON THE TOP ROPE! CONSUELA IS DAZED AS SHE SITS ON THE TOP ROPE…AND ANDREA FROM BEHIND RAVEN ROLLS HER UP!!

OOOONNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Eve: KICKOUT! Both women then race to their feet but it looks like Raven is a tad bit quicker and she goes for another boot, but Andrea ducks it, and Andrea runs off the opposite ropes–FRONT DROPKICK! Raven falls backwards and is stunned on the second rope–SUPERKICK FROM ANDREA THAT DRIVES RAVEN TO THE OUTSIDE FLOOR! And Andrea is measuring Raven on the outside, and ANDREA RUNS OFF THE ROPES….SUICIDE DIVE THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE ON RAVEN THAT DRIVES RAVEN INTO THE BARRICADE! ANDREA IS FEELING PUMPED UP! 

Gavin Kirkland: OH DAMN!! CONSUELA FLIES HIGH FROM THE TOP ROPE BESIDE RAVEN AND ANDREA AND TAKES THEM BOTH OUT WITH THE CROSSBODY!! WHAT A HIGH RISK MANEUVER THERE FROM THE PERFECTIONIST! 

Eve: Consuela is now the one who is in control now as she takes her pick on who she wants to target, and it’s Andrea as she grabs her with a handful of hair and brings her over to the steps…and Consuela bounces Andrea face first off of the steel steps, and does it another time! And now Consuela grans the head of Andrea and takes a few steps back..AND SHE RUNS LOOKING TO DRIVE ANDREA INTO THE BARRICADE–BUT ANDREA REVERSES IT AND SENDS CONSUELA SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! ANDREA FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH SEVERAL STOMPS TO THE CHEST OF CONSUELA IN A SEATED POSITION WITH HER BACK AGAINST THE BARRICADE! ANDREA DOING HER BEST TO RID CONSUELA OF THIS MATCH IN THE EARLY GOINGS!

Deadprez: Andrea is now the one in control here. She looks down at Consuela on both knees, and she kicks her right in the gut, and Andrea has a smile on her face as she just seems to be stalking Consuela now, and she lifts Consuela up to her feet…BUT OH SHIT–

Gavin Kirkland: RAVEN COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND SPEARS BOTH WOMEN THROUGH THE BARRICADE!! :damn: 

Eve: Raven literally came out of nowhere and took both women out, and it looks like she may have just hurt herself in the process in doing so. But Raben manages to crawl out of the rubble back to the ringside area, but she’s holding her shoulder in some pain. She grabs the leg of Consuela and pulls her out of the rubble back into the ringside area, and picks her up near the ring and slowly tosses her back inside the ring. Raven takes a second to take a breath before slowly rolling back in the ring and looking to possibly end it here! 

Gavin Kirkland: She can end me. :shaq: 

Eve: :wtf:

Deadprez: Raven is waiting for Consuela to rise to her feet, Consuela is holding her ribs in some pain as she finally stands and she turns around–**”THE FACELIFFTTTTT!!!!!”** THE SPINNING HEEL KICK CONNECTS AS SHE DROPS DOWN ON CONSUELA FOR THE COVER!! 

OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Deadprez: KICKOUT FROM THE PERFECTIONIST!!! Raven still favoring that shoulder as she rolls away from Consuela, and she pulls herself back up with the ropes, and she looks at her surroundings and sees Andrea still down over by the barricade before focusing her attention back on Consuela, and Raven charges at Consuela looking to drive the knee into her head, but Consuela moves at the last second! Consuela now goes for the backslide pin on Raven…BUT NO! RAVEN ROLLS THROUGH TO HER FEET, AND SHE GOES FOR A SIDE KICK TO THE HEAD–BUT CONSUELA CATCHES THE FOOT! CONSUELA IS UP AND CONNECTS WITH A DRAGON SCREW THAT SENDS RAVEN TO THE OTHER END OF THE RING! 

Eve: Raven now is in the corner in a seated position, and Consuela still holding her ribs sees Raven as a sitting duck, and CONSUELA RUNS AND DRIVES BOTH OF HER KNEES INTO THE FACE OF THE SITTING RAVEN! Consuela seems to have the momentum now as she picks up Raven and leans her against the ropes, and Consuela drives an elbow to the face of Raven, and now it’s Consuela who puts Raven up on the top rope, and Consuela climbs up top with her and it looks like she’s gonna go for the superplex! 

Gavin Kirkland: Raven tries to fight out of it though, as she throws a few midsection shots to Consuela, and Consuela lets loose of her grip a little bit, and now it’s a battle for control on the top rope between Raven and Consuela! Right hand from Raven! Right hand from Consuela! RAVEN! CONSUELA! RAVEN! CONSUELA! 

Eve: CONSUELA NOW WITH A FLURRY OF PUNCHES! IT LOOKS LIKE SHE HAS THE UPPERHAND HERE ONCE MORE ON THE TOP ROPE AND SHE’S GOING FOR THE SUPERPLEX ONCE MORE! BUT LOOK BEHIND! ANDREA VALENTINE IS BACK INSIDE THE RING AND SHE GOES UNDERNEATH CONSUELA–ANDREA POWERBOMBS CONSUELA AS CONSUELA SUPERPLEXES RAVEN!!

Deadprez: ANDREA IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME THERE AS SHE IS BACK IN THIS MATCH, AND SHE’S IN CONTROL AS SHE COMES TO HER FEET AND PICKS UP CONSUELA! ANDREA….ANDREA IS GOING FOR “LOVE HAZE”!!!!

Eve: CONSUELA COUNTERS CONNECTING WITH A BACK BODY DROP….AND OH MY FUCKING GOD!! RAVEN SUPERKICKS THE BACK OF ANDREA’S HEAD AS SHE WAS IN MID AIR!! :damn: ACCIDENTAL TEAMWORK THERE BY RAVEN AND CONSUELA! 

Gavin Kirkland: Raven and Consuela are face to face once more, and RAVEN LOOKS FOR THE FIRST MOVE AS SHE GOES FOR A FOREARM–BUT CONSUELA DUCKS! CONSUELA NOW WITH SEVERAL BODY KICKS TO THE SHIN AND LOWER BODY OF RAVEN! BUT TRAVEN MANAGES TO THROW A HARD FOREARM ANYWAY THAT KNOCKS CONSUELA UP AGAINST THE ROPES! RAVEN CHARGES NOW–BUT CONSUELA HITS THE BACK BODY DROP OVER THE TOP ROPE, BUT RAVEN MANAGES TO HOLD ON! CONSUELA TURNS AROUND AND WALKS RIGHT INTO A RIGHT HAND, WHICH STUNS HER! RAVEN CLIMBS UP THE TOP ROPE NEXT TO HER–AND SHE GOES FOR THE CROSSBODY!!

Deadprez: CONSUELA LEAPS AND DRIVES HER KNEES INTO THE STOMACH OF RAVEN IN MID AIR! CONSUELA TRANSITIONS INTO THE **“SUELA LOCCKK”!!!!!!!** THE SUELA LOCK IS LOCKED IN IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND RAVEN HAS NOWHERE TO GO, IS SHE GOING TO SUBMIT?!

Eve: RAVEN RAISES HER HAND–BUT SHE REFUSES TO TAP OUT….AND OH NO! RAVEN USES HER WEIGHT AND MANAGES TO REVERSE IT INTO A PIN!!

OOOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Deadprez: CONSUELA REVERSES IT AND FLIPS BACK INTO THE SUELA LOCK!!  RAVEN’S FACE IS TURNING PURPLE HERE, AND SHE MAY PASS OUT! THIS MAY BE CONSUELA’S MOMENT! 

Eve: WHAT THE HELL?!?! ANDREA COMES IN AND BREAKS IT UP USING A KENDO STICK TO THE BACK OF CONSUELA!! WHAT IS THE NEED FOR THE KENDO STICK?!

Gavin Kirkland: I mean, hey, there’s no disqualification in triple threat rules. Plus, even if there was, when the queen is in the ring, the rules play by her.

Eve: Andrea swinging the kendo stick around now as she waits for Consuela to turn around, but she doesn’t wait and smacks Consuela across the back with it! OH LOOK! CONSUELA KICK ANDREA IN THE KNEE CAP! AND A KICK RIGHT TO THE FACE OF ANDREA, AND ANDREA DROPS THE KENDO STICK…AND CONSUELA PICKS IT UP!

Deadprez: CONSUELA GRABS THE KENDO STICK…AND SHE PUTS IT UP TO ANDREA’S FACE…OH MY GOD!! THE SUELA LOCK MODIFIED WITH THE KENDO STICK IS LOCKED IN ON ANDREA!! ANDREA IS THE ONE WHO BROUGHT THE STICK INTO THE MATCH, AND NOW IT MAY HAVE COSTED HER HERE AS SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE HAS NOWHERE TO GO! IS ANDREA GOING TO TAP OUT HERE?!?!

Eve: RAVEN BREAKS IT UP! It looked like Consuela had both women beat for the win with the Suela Lock before the match was saved by Raven and Andrea individually.

Gavin Kirkland: Fight forever ladies, I don’t mind not one bit. 

Eve: Raven is up to her feet and she picks Consuela up and lifts her up in the fireman’s carry on her shoulder, what is she thinking here? But Consuela is trying her best to fight out of this situation right here as she throws a couple of elbow shots to the side of Raven’s face, and Consuela manages to slip out from behind Raven and she faces Raven’s backside, and Consuela hooks both of the arms of Raven looking for likely a full nelson slam, but Raven is the one fighting off Consuela this time and she throws a couple back elbow…and Raven drops down to both knees causing Consuela to roll forward through to her feet…AND SHE RUNS AT RAVEN– BUT RAVEN CATCHES CONSUELA IN A “HUNTRESS BOMBBBB”!!!!! 

Deadprez: HOW?!?! CONSUELA SOMEHOW IN MID AIR TURNED IT INTO A SPINNING TORNADO DDT! SPIKED RAVEN’S HEAD RIGHT INTO THE MAT! Consuela now looks to the corner next to her and she crawls underneath the bottom rope and begins to make her way to the top rope…WHAT COULD SHE BE THINKING HERE?!

Eve: ANDREA IS BACK UP AND SHE RUNS AND SHOVES CONSUELA OFF THE TOP ROPE AND CONSUELA GOES FLYING  BACKWARDS OUTSIDE OF THE RING AND SHE LANDS FACE FIRST OFF OF THE STEEL STEPS!! OUCH!!

Gavin Kirkland: Hope she didn’t lose a tooth. :noah: 

Deadprez: Andrea looks down at Consuela before turning around and focusing her attention on the stirring Raven who’s on one knee–AND ANDREA SEES THIS AS HER OPPORTUNITY AS SHE RUNS AT RAVEN…AND SHE CONNECTS WITH **LOVE HAZE!!!** THE RUNNING CORKSCREW NECKBREAKER CONNECTS! AND SHE HOOKS THE LEG OF RAVEN!!

OOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Eve: RAVEN ROBERTS KICKS OUT!!!

Deadprez: Andrea though doesn’t want to waste any time as she picks Raven up and she right away goes for “XOXO”….She puts her leg up to Raven’s face…BUT RAVEN PICKS UP ANDREA IN A POWERBOMB POSITION! ANDREA IS TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT BUT IT’S NO USE AS RAVEN TOSSES ANDREA OFF THE TURNBUCKLE WITH THE BUCKLE BOMB! 

Eve: ANDREA HOLDING THE BACK OF HER HEAD IN PAIN…AS SHE WALKS RIGHT INTO THE **“HUNTRESS BOMB”!!!!** THE SIT OUT SPINEBUSTER AND THE COVER FROM RAVEN!!

OOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!

TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: AND ANDREA KICKS OUT! Raven now ponders on what to do next as she stands and uses the ropes to hold herself up. She begins to circle around Andrea like a shark that smells blood in the water. She measures up Andrea–

Eve: CONSUELA IS BACK IN AND TAKES RAVEN OUT WITH A LEAPING CLOTHESLINES THAT KNOCKS RAVEN OUT OF THE RING! AND SHE’S BUSTED OPEN FROM WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE STEPS MINUTES AGO! CONSUELA NOW–

Deadprez: ANDREA WAS WAITING FOR CONSUELA TO TURN AROUND AS ANDREA GETS HER BOOT UP…..**XOXO!!!!!!** THE INVERTED FACEBREAKER!! ANDREA HOOKS THE LEG!!!!

OOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

..

Eve: CONSUELA STAYS ALIVE! ANDREA CAN’T BELIEVE IT! 

Deadprez: Andrea with a sense of urgency picks Consuela up off the mat, and she looks to be going for XOXO once more, but Consuela uses what strength she has to fight off Andrea and push her off, and Andrea bounces off the ropes…and Consuela connects with a hip toss and neckbreaker combo! Both women are down in the center of the ring now and we await to see which one gets to their feet. Consuela is up first as Andrea is down on both knees, and Consuela drops down..AND CONSUELA REPEATEDLY LIFTS HER KNEE UP AND DRIVES IT RIGHT INTO THE SKULL OF ANDREA! 

Gavin Kirkland: Now Consuela is the one in control–BUT IN COMES RAVEN! SHE CHARGES AT CONSUELA LOOKING FOR THE TALON–

Eve: CONSUELA SIDE STEPS AT THE LAST SECOND, BUT I THINK RAVEN WAS EXPECTING IT AS SHE RUNS OFF THE OPPOSITE ROPES, AND CONSUELA BARELY HAS ENOUGH TIME TO TURN AROUND UNTIL–**TALLLOOONNNN!!!!** THE CLAYMORE KICK RIGHT TO THE FACE OF CONSUELA! AND NOW RAVEN HOOKS BOTH LEGS OF CONSUELA! RAVEN’S GOT THE WIN RIGHT HERE!!

OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

…

Deadprez: ANDREA VALENTINE FROM THE OUTSIDE PULLS THE REFEREE OUT OF THE RING!! ANDREA SAVES THE MATCH FOR CONSUELA AND HERSELF! 

Eve: ANDREA DOESN’T WASTE ANY TIME AS SHE SLIDES IN THE RING AND CHARGES ON TOP OF RAVEN AND RAINS DOWN THE LEFTS AND RIGHTS! RAVEN IS TRYING TO COVER UP BUT IT’S LITTLE TO NO USE, ANDREA NOW PICKS UP RAVEN AND BASEBALL SLIDES HER OUTSIDE OF THE RING! AND OH…SHE’S GONNA PICK UP THE PIECES FROM RAVEN’S WORK AND PIN CONSUELA! 

OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: CONSUELA KICKS OUT ONCE AGAIN! Andrea brushes her hair back as that didn’t get the job done either. She gets up and sees Raven getting to her feet on the outside, and Andrea looks to take her out as she runs the ropes–SUICIDE DIVE!! BUT ANDREA ISN’T DONE THERE AS SHE LOOKS TO KEEP RAVEN DOWN FOR THE REST OF THE MATCH! ANDREA–

Eve: **TOPPPPEE CONSUEELLAA HILOOOO!!!!!!**

Deadprez: CONSUELA GOT UP AND OUT OF NOWHERE TAKES OUT BOTH RAVEN AND ANDREA ON THE OUTSIDE! This match has turned into a demolition derby between three of the best competitors not only on Showdown, but in this entire company. 

(Replay of the Tope Consuela Hilo.)

Eve: All three women go separate ways as Consuela and Andrea crawl to opposite ends of the ring, as Raven is still at the bottom of the entrance ramp, and all three Beating Hearts members looks to be stirring to their feet, and all three women at the exact same time slide into the ring from different sides of the ring, all three exhausted. This comes down to who just wants it more now. 

Gavin Kirkland: All three women stand up, at an appropriate distance from one another, and they all wait for the other to make the first move like how the match originally started. FOREARM FROM ANDREA KNOCKS DOWN RAVEN! QUICKLY ANDREA GOES FOR ANOTHER FOREARM TO CONSUELA, BUT CONSUELA BLOCKS IT! AND CONSUELA CONNECTS WITH AN UPPERCUT WHICH SENDS ANDREA BACK, BUT THEN ANDREA WALKS RIGHT INTO ANOTHER ONE FROM CONSUELA, AND THIS TIME IT SENDS ANDREA RIGHT INTO RAVEN!– **THE FACELIFT!!!!!!!!**

Deadprez: THE SPINNING HEEL KICK TAKES DOWN ANDREA! RAVEN DOESN’T COVER BECAUSE CONSUELA IS WAITING FOR HER IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! AND RAVEN AND CONSUELA COME FACE TO FACE! 

Eve: AND THERE THEY GO! BOTH RAVEN AND CONSUELA ARE EXCHANGING SHOTS BACK AND FORTH WITH ONE ANOTHER! RAVEN! CONSUELA! RAVEN! CONSUELA! CONSUELA! CONSUELA LOOKS TO HAVE THE UPPER HAND–BUT NOT FOR LONG AS RAVEN DROPS CONSUELA TO ONE KNEE WITH A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION, AND THEN RAVEN GRABS THE HEAD OF CONSUELA AND REPEATEDLY DRIVES THE KNEE INTO HER SKULL! RAVEN NOW RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND SHE GOES FOR “TALON”– BUT CONSUELA SEES IT COMING AND RUNS OFF THE OPPOSITE ROPE AND BOTH WOMEN CHARGE AT ONE ANOTHER–

Deadprez: **LA RODILLA DE LA MUERTEEEEE!!!!!!** THE RUNNING KNEE TAKES OUT RAVEN! AND CONSUELA REACHES FOR THE COVER!!

OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

..

..

Eve: THE BIRD OF PREY KICKS OUT!! 

Gavin Kirkland: I seriously don’t know who to root for so I don’t know if I’m happy or sad.  :mjgrin:

Deadprez: Consuela looks to be in shock, but she knows better than anybody that she can’t let her guard down and take her foot off the gas pedal, Consuela lies on the mat in a bit of frustration it looks like–

Eve: **MAGGGIICCCC HOOOUUUURRRRRRR!!!!!!** THE ROUNDING MOONSAULT FROM ANDREA FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!!!

Deadprez: NO!!!!! CONSUELA GOT HER KNEES UP!! CONSUELA TRANSITIONS IT RIGHT INTO THE SUELA LOCK A SPLIT SECOND LATER!! **THE SUELA LOCK!!!**

Gavin Kirkland: ANDREA IS TRAPPED ONCE MORE! IS SHE GOING TO TAP?!?! CONSUELA IS WRENCHING BACK ON THE FACE OF ANDREA AS ANDREA LOOKS TO BE IN SERIOUS PAIN AS SHE IS STRUGGLING TO EVEN MOVE IN THIS SUBMISSION HOLD, CONSUELA IS SCREAMING AT HER TO TAP OUT! 

Eve: ANDREA LOOKS LIKE SHE’S GOING TO TAP OUT!!!

Deadprez: NO!!! RAVEN CATCHES THE HAND OF ANDREA AND PREVENTS IT FROM HAPPENING! CONSUELA CAN’T BELIEVE IT, AND RAVEN LEAPS OVER AND DELIVERS A HARD RIGHT HAND AT CONSUELA CAUSING HER TO RELEASE THE SUELA LOCK!!

Gavin Kirkland: Both Consuela and Raven rise to their feet as Andrea rolls away, and now its Consuela who runs at Raven–BUT RAVEN COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP OVER THE TOP ROPE AND CONSUELA LANDS ON THE OUTSIDE FLOOR NEXT TO ANDREA! RAVEN SEES BOTH OF THEM STORRING TO THEIR FEET, AND SHE BEGINS TO CLIMB THE TOP ROPE! WHAT IS SHE GOING TO DO HERE?!

Eve: CONSUELA AND ANDREA STAND ON THE OUTSIDE AND– **”RAVVVENSSSS WINGSSSSSS!!!!!”** RIGHT ON TOP OF ANDREA AND CONSUELA ON THE OUTSIDE! 

Deadprez: WHAT A RISK THERE BY RAVEN, BUT IT PAYS OFF AS SHE TAKES THEM BOTH OUT! RAVEN PICKS UP ANDREA AND ROLLS HER BACK INSIDE THE RING! THE COVER!!!!

OOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Deadprez: ANDREA STAYS ALIVE!! And Raven takes this time to roll away from Andrea to the nearby corner, she pulls herself up to her feet and it looks like she’s measuring Andrea as Andrea is trying to make it back up to her feet Raven can sense victory here, Andrea turns around and….**THE TALON!!!!**

Eve: ANDREA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!!! ANDREA NOW HAS RAVEN IN POSITION!! SHE HOLDS ON THE SHOULDERS OF RAVEN FACING HER BACK–

Deadprez: **ATTTOMMIIICCC BLLOONNNDDEEEEE!!!!!** SHE SPIKES RAVEN’S HEAD RIGHT INTO THE MAT!! ANDREA NOW HOOKS THE LEG! IS THIS GOING TO BE IT?!?!

OOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Eve: CONSUELA BREAKS IT UP!! 

Deadprez: All three Beating Hearts members are in the center of the ring and each one of them are beaten and exhausted. Consuela is up and she picks up Andrea slowly off the mat, but Andrea swipes Consuela’s hands away from her and throws a vicious elbow to the face of Consuela! AND CONSUELA ANSWERS BACK BY CONNECTING WITH A HIGH KNEE TO THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE OF ANDREA! ANDREA DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE, AND CONSUELA USES THIS OPPORTUNITY TO RUN TO THE ROPES….HURRICANRANA DDT THAT SPIKES ANDREA’S HEAD! 

Eve: CONSUELA WASTES ZERO TIME AS SHE’S UP AND PICKS UP ANDREA, LOOKING TO GO FOR THE EXCLAMATION POINT HERE IN THIS MATCHUP! ANDREA IS STILL FIGHTING AS SHE PUSHES CONSUELA OFF WITH THE LITTLE STRENGTH AND ENERGY SHE HAS LEFT, ENZIGURI KICK TO CONSUELA THAT STUNS CONSUELA BACKWARDS INTO THE CORNER! ANDREA LOOKS TO PERHAPS GO FOR THE ENDING–

Deadprez: RAVEN’S BACK AND SHE RUNS UP BEHIND ANDREA AND THROWS HER SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST THROUGH THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE! RAVEN LOOKS OVER AND SEES CONSUELA AS A SITTING DUCK IN THE CORNER–AND RAVEN CHARGES WITH A FULL HEAD OF STEAM AT CONSUELA IN THE CORNER–

Gavin Kirkland: OH SHIT! RAVEN RUNS RIGHT INTO A STANDING SPANISH FLY FROM CONSUELA!!! CONSUELA GOING FOR THE WIN!!

OOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Deadprez: CONSUELA GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT THE LAST SECOND!!! ANDREA DOESN’T BELIEVE IT AND SHE HOPS OVER TO RAVEN AND COVERS HER!!

OOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Eve: THIS TIME IT’S RAVEN WHO KICKS OUT!! ANDREA LOOKS A BIT FRUSTRATED, BUT SHE DOESN’T LET IT AFFECT HER AS SHE STANDS AND PICKS UP CONSUELA FROM THE MAT. 

Andrea Valentine: (off mic) You should have just stayed out of this. 

Deadprez: ANDREA RUNS OFF THE ROPES–BUT CONSUELA CATCHES HER OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A BACK HANDED ELBOW! KICK TO THE MIDSECTION FROM CONSUELA–BUT ANDREA ONCE MORE PUSHES OFF, AND THEN CONSUELA RUNS RIGHT INTO THE OCTOPUS STRETCH!!! ANDREA HAS THE OCTOPUS STRETCH LOCKED IN AS SHE IS WRENCHING BACK ON CONSUELA’S ARM, IT LOOKS LIKE SHE’S ABOUT TO RIP HER SHOULDER OUT OF THE SOCKET! 

Gavin Kirkland: OH NO!!! IN COMES RAVEN– **TALON!!!!!** THE CLAYMORE KICK RIGHT TO THE FACE OF ANDREA BREAKING THE OCTOPUS STRETCH SUBMISSION! AND NOW RAVEN CRAWLS OVER TO THE COVER!

OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

..

…

Eve: OH MY GOD! CONSUELA HOPS ON TOP OF RAVEN ON THE COVER AND SHE LOCKS IN THE SUELA LOCK!! 

Deadprez: CONSUELA WRENCHING BACK WITH THIS SUELA LOCK, AND RAVEN LOOKS TO BE PANICKING TRAPPED IN THIS SUBMISSION! RAVEN IS TRYING TO SCRAMBLE TO FIND A WAY OUT OF THIS, AND ANDREA IS STILL DOWN BESIDE THEM! 

Eve::LOOK! RAVEN SOMEHOW GOT HER HEAD DOWN AND FREED CONSUELA’S GRIP, AND SHE HAS AHOLD OF CONSUELA’S FINGER, AND SHE BENDS BACK ON THEM! RAVEN DOING ANYTHING IT TAKES TO FREE HERSELF, AND IT WORKS AS CONSUELA LETS GO! Consuela stands up holding her hand in some pain, before she sees Raven trying to make it to her feet in the corner, and CONSUELA CHARGES! BUT RAVEN STOPS CONSUELA IN HER TRACKS WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! 

Gavin Kirkland: RAVEN GOES IN FOR THE CLOTHESLINE–BUT CONSUELA DUCKS, AND CONSUELA GOES FOR THE BACKSLIDE PIN!

OOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Eve: RAVEN ESCAPES IT, AND BOTH WOMEN RACE TO THEIR FEET, AND CONSUELA IS A TAD BIT QUICKER AS SHE GOES IT AND TRIES TO DRIVE HER KNEE INTO RAVEN’S HEAD, BUT RAVEN SEES IT COMING AND DODGES IT! A BIG BOOT TAKES DOWN CONSUELA! AND LOOK BEHIND RAVEN–

Deadprez: ROLLUP FROM ANDREA!!!! ANDREA’S GONNA TRY TO STEAL IT!!!

OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Deadprez: RAVEN KICKS OUT!! BOTH WOMEN ARE UP TO THEIR FEET, AND ANDREA GOES FOR THE DROPKICK…BUT RAVEN CATCHES HER LEGS IN MID AIR AND DROPS HER DOWN TO THE MAT! AND RAVEN HOOKS BOTH OF ANDREA’S LEGS AND LAUNCHES HER! RAVEN LAUNCHES ANDREA ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND ANDREA LANDS HEAD FIRST ON THE TOP OF THE RING POST! 

Eve: Several seconds pass and now Andrea is a sitting duck on that top rope as she lays stomach first…and oh GOD! HER HEAD IS BUSTED OPEN AS WELL! Two of the women in this match are bleeding. And Raven rakes her hair back….A SOCCER STYLE KICK RIGHT TO THE STOMACH OF ANDREA LAYING ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Raven turns around and sees Consuela trying to recover in the corner opposite of her and Andrea, and RAVEN CHARGES AND DELIVERS A LEAPING FOREARM TO THE FACE OF CONSUELA! SHE TURNS AROUND AND CHARGES AT ANDREA AND DELIVERS ANOTHER UNDERNEATH KICK TO THE STOMACH OF ANDREA! 

Deadprez: Raven steps back into the center of the ring, and she takes a few steps back–AND SHE CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING SPLASH IN THE CORNER ON CONSUELA, AND SHE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG! RAVEN DOESN’T STOP THERE AS SHE CAN FEEL ALL THE MOMENTUM GOING HER WAY, AND SHE PICKS CONSUELA UP IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY–AND RAVEN DRIVES CONSUELA’S HEAD RIGHT INTO THE MAT!! MIGHT JUST BE CONCUSSION CITY RIGHT THERE AS RAVEN GOES FOR ANOTHER COVER!!

OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: CONSUELA KICKS OUT!!! BUT RAVEN RIGHT AWAY TRANSITIONS INTO A GROUND MANEUVER…..SHE HOOKS THE ARM OF CONSUELA, AND I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHAT SHE’S TRYING TO SET UP FOR HERE….SHE’S GOING FOR HER “AVIARY” SUBMISSION…BUT CONSUELA IS TRYING WITH EVERYTHING SHE’S GOT LEFT TO FIGHT IT OFF!!!

Eve: CONSUELA GRABS AHOLD OF THE BOTTOM ROPE NEXT TO HER HOLDING ONTO IT FOR DEAR LIFE SO RAVEN CAN’T FINISH THE SETUP FOR THE SUBMISSION, AND NOW RAVEN THROWING AGGRESSIVE SHOTS TO THE BACK OF CONSUELA’S HEAD! TRYING EVERYTHING TO HAVE HER RELEASE HER GRIP FROM THE ROPES, AND SHE DOES! RAVEN GRABS THE FOOT OF CONSUELA AND DRAGS HER TO THE CENTER OF THE RING….BUT CONSUELA USES HER LEGS AND KICKS RAVENS AWAY FROM HER–

Deadprez: RAVEN COMES FACE TO FACE WITH ANDREA…AND ANDREA CONNECTS WITH A DROP TOE HOLD WHICH RESULTS IN RAVEN CONNECTING FACE FIRST INTO THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE! ANDREA TURNS AROUND AND LOOK OUT!! CONSUELA RUNS AT ANDREA–

TTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

..

…

….

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Roll With Me” by Charli XCX hits as Andrea rolls off of Raven, and Consuela falls back down flat to the mat. Andrea is a bloody mess from what happened with hitting the ring post earlier in the match. She stands hurt and exhausted, and gets her hand raised by the official.)

Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER……ANNNNDRRREEEAAAA VAALLLENNNNTTIIINNNNEEEEEE!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: :blessed: :blessed: :blessed: I BELIEVED IN HER THE WHOLE TIME! 

Eve: What a win this is for Andrea. She went through an absolute war here tonight with two of the very best this company has to offer on this roster, and she bounces back in the biggest way possible after an up and down season on both Dynasty and Showdown, and she stands victorious on the Grandest Stage of Them All, Pain for Pride. What a moment this must be for her. Proved her worth here tonight and proved everybody wrong. Consider me impressed. 

Deadprez: Like you said, she went through a war in order to get this win, and you can’t take anything away from Raven, who undoubtedly will be a World Champion again. The question isn’t if, it’s when it will happen. The same goes for Consuela, despite the loss, she showed just how valuable she is and how she can hang with the top talent like she’s been doing ALL season long. Only a matter of when instead of if she captures that World Championship. But tonight was Andrea Valentine’s night, congratulations to her!

Eve: Look….

(Andrea Valentine holds her ribs in pain as she walks over to Consuela who is in a seated position leaning against the ropes. And Andrea holds her hand out to help her up.)

Eve: Andrea showing a sign of respect offering to help Consuela up. Wow! 

(Slowly, Consuela accepts the hand.)

(Andrea helps Consuela up and she motions to turn around. Both of them walk over to Raven who is in a seated position in the corner. And Andrea offers her hand to her. Andrea glances over at Consuela, and Consuela offers her hand to Raven to help her up as well.)

(Raven is unsure about what to do right now, but after a few seconds, Raven places one hand in each of Andrea and Consuela’s hands as they help her up off the mat.)

Eve: What a show of respect between the three warriors here tonight..

(The three women get to the center of the ring, with all of them hurt. Consuela and Andrea both bleeding from the face. A few seconds pass by before they share a hug together.)

Eve: And, I think we just got our answer on if the Beating Hearts bond was going to be broken forever. What a moment as the three Beating Hearts members embrace in the center of the ring. 

(The camera fades to black with the three women holding each other up.)

[SCREENBAR – Unknown Location.]

(Pain For Pride transitions backstage, into a dark room, with the camera’s light being the only thing that actually lights anything up. In front of the camera we see a table, a dirty, burnt table, and on top of it lies three candles; a red one, a black one, a white one, and a red one. A flickering sound is heard, once, twice, and third time, before a small orange fire is seen on a match in someone’s hand. That hand then directs it over to the black candle, and lights it up, to which we see Lizzie The Doll sitting behind it.)

???: Tonight, I complete my destiny; I fulfil all of my promises, and make up for lost time.

(Lizzie slowly turns her head, in a jittery, jerky motion, similar to rotted, burnt, melted metal that she’s known to be made of, so *how* she’s moving is seriously beyond anyone.)

???: Tonight, I double down on my word; making true of everything I’ve said.

(The hand then transitions over to the white candle at the far right, as the match then lights said candle; revealing what appears to be a necklace of hair and teeth, everything Lizzie has demanded to be stolen as trophies over the past few months of this season, with the most recent addition being Ed Wagner.)

???: Tonight, I will make it known as to why I’m regarded as a threat in this company.

(Finally, the hand moves over to the red candle in the very center, as it slowly lights it. The orange flame glows up the man who was holding the matches, revealing none other than Shane Gates.) 

Shane Gates: Tonight, I will win the 24/7 Battle Royal.

(Suddenly, one by one, candles all around the walls begin to light up, with burning flames combined to make the same effect as a light bulb, bright, and disturbing. The plausible-pyromaniac Shane Gates then leans forward, before flicking his finger through the fire. He then begins to speak up in a gravelly voice.)

Shane Gates: Tonight… I spark a fire underneath me. I take all of the losses, and frustration I have been given this Season. The humiliation… Every single person in this match will be crushed under my boot. Every single Elitist will be reduced to Proletariats in this Battle Royal; reduced back to the average working class wrestlers they’ve been known for, and that’s all because of myself… and Lizzie. I have done everything this season just for her. I have done everything to make up for the time she lost many years ago, and I don’t think people truly understand what I mean by that. Because I’m not just fighting for my own career; my own life. I am fighting… for hers.

Shane Gates: And if fighting for Lizzie means doing anything it takes, then so be it. If it means Lizzie will do anything it takes… then so be it. At the end of the day, we’re going to be standing tall. **We** are going to be the one who makes sure everyone else competing in this match is left below our feet. **We** are going to be the duo who outlasts everyone else. And by doing that…

(Shane Gates leans over to his left, before grabbing what appears to be a wire. Pulling the wire down, a set of blinds begin to lift up, as suddenly we see a window; a window peeking into a locker room containing the 24/7 Battle Royal competitors. Dray Fontana, Jordan Payne, Lucas Johnson, Johnny Andrews, Michael Jack, Alex Myers in the corner being edgy, et cetera.)

Shane Gates: I will cull the competition. More so, she will…

(The camera pans over to Lizzie The Doll, who begins to slowly step forward at the speed of a 90 year old woman named Agnes, before going in the middle of the three candles that form a triangle.)

Lizzie The Doll: …

(Lizzie closes her eyes and begins to shake, until suddenly, the camera begins to shake along. As does the table, and the chairs, then finally, the candles all around the room begin to flicker on and off.)

Lucas Johnson: *muffled* What in the bollocks!

Michael Jack: *muffled* :comeagain: Why are the lights going out?

(The camera pans back to Lizzie, as she begins to twitch, whilst speaking some foreign, lost language that no one seems to understand. The camera glitches in and out of her face, then showing the reactions of the 24/7 Competitors in the other room.)

Shane Gates: Now… we make them damned.

(The camera pans inside of the room, as Elitists begin to freak out; they hallucinate, see things that aren’t actually there.)

Mary S. Atlas: :krabs: Did that shadow just move!?!?

Johnny Andrews: :whoa: NO, GHOST! DON’T STEAL MY MASSIVE PECS! NOOOOOOOO!!!

(Mary S. Atlas begins to kick the wall, as Johnny slaps himself trying to get the “ghost” off of him, as it becomes abundantly clear that Lizzie The Doll is messing with them.)

Dray Fontana: **shrugs**

Alex Myers: Fuck my life.

(Dray and Alex sit in the corner, clearly not bothered as everyone else freaks out.)

Michael Jack: HEY! WHY THE SHIT IS A RAT MAN GRABBING MY COLOR TEMPERATURE 2700–3600 K LED LIGHT UP GLOVE!? :noah: 

Jordan Payne: DEMONS! I HAVE A 50% CHANCE OF PUNCHING THEM IN THE FACE RIGHT NOW! :ufdup:

(Michael Jack and Jordan Payne too begin to hallucinate, as it pans to a longshot of the entire room, no intensity, just everyone kicking, punching, and messing around. Without context it’d seem like Justin Windgate had accidentally dropped some of his drugs, or Bronson Daniels from a year ago found a time machine and gave everyone some of his.)

Johnny Andrews: STOP IT! NOW! THE SHAMAN OF SEXY DOESN’T APPRECIATE YOU TRYING TO REMOVE THE SEXY FROM THE SHAMAN!

(Johnny Andrews then grabs the air, or what he thinks to be a ghost, before hitting a ‘Parkour Splash’ Spanish Fly, and bouncing back up to his feet, seemingly taking out the hallucination.)

Johnny Andrews: :whew: Another win for the next Mr. 24/7 :whew:!!!!

(Johnny Andrews then begins to celebrate, until suddenly, the light turns out completely, and red smoke begins to fill the room. All of the 24/7 Battle Royal competitors begin to stand up, and walk backwards, before bumping backs in the middle of the room.)

Jordan Payne: Which one of you motherfuckers started messing with supernatural shit?

Michael Jack: Probably that hypocritical Alex Myers! He probably just wants to mess with all of you.

Alex Myers: I told you, I don’t care about winning here. Why would I mess with you fucking dumbasses *before* the match, I have no reason to!

Michael Jack: I don’t need to hear it, just stop it alread-

Mary S. Atlas: CAN YOU TWO STOP ARGUING, WE NEED TO STOP THIS SHIT! Besides, it’s not like either of you are winning.

(The entire room begins to bicker, as the lights flicker some more inside the room. They clearly get more freaked out, as loud vocal sounds similar to the ones radiating from Lizzie begin to fly through the walls, making ear-wrenchingly loud screams. Everyone in the room suddenly dropped to their knees.)

Shane Gates: And now… the grand finale.

(The camera pans back to the room that Shane Gates and Lizzie The Doll reside in, as the candles begin to go from a slight flame, to completely on fire, with even more shaking. The white noise in the room gets louder and louder, along with the inaudible language, as Lizzie begins to do whatever Shane had planned…)

**THUD!**

…

Shane Gates: :dahell: What was that?

(Shane Gates darts his head away from watching their work at play, over to the camera; past the camera, as a look of confusion comes onto his face. Suddenly, Lizzie begins to stop, and everything goes back to normal.)

Lucas Johnson: *muffled* That rat bastard Windgate…

(The camera suddenly pans over to the other end of the table, as we see a man in denim and sunglasses with his hand on the table…)

Strawberry Steve: Saw a fly.

(Shane Gates looks confused, and even angrier, as he takes in a deep breath.)

Shane Gates: Why the FUCK are you in here?

Strawberry Steve: Saw a fly.

Shane Gates: You said that! I mean **why**?? What made you want to step into this room of all rooms, you punk?

Strawberry Steve: Saw a fly.

(Shane gets even angrier, as he too slams his hand into the table, standing up in the process.)

Shane Gates: Steve… you made the worst decision of your life coming her-

**ZIP!**

(The camera pans over to Strawberry Steve who is now unzipping his backpack, that carries his infamous BBB title; which he pulls out. He then suddenly points at Lizzie The Doll.)

Strawberry Steve: Her.

Shane Gates: The fuck you mean her-

Referee: RING THE BELL!

(A referee, who wasn’t even there before, calls for the bell, and as he does this, a knock on the wall is heard.)

(KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!)

Strawberry Steve: Now it’s time… FOR MY DEADLY KICKS!

(Strawberry Steve suddenly sprints over to Lizzie The Doll at top speed, before grabbing her by the head. He then turns around, and kicks her across the room.)

Strawberry Steve: //media2.giphy.com/media/xULW8IGIbJ19LGQ3te/giphy.gif

Shane Gates: WHAT THE FUC-

(Steve pushes Shane back, before sprinting back over to Lizzie The Doll, as he slides into the cover)

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

(KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!)

Strawberry Steve: DEFENSE NUMBER 1000 BAY BEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Referee: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… AND **STILL** BIG BERRY BHAMPION! STRAWBERRY STEEEEEEEEE-

(Suddenly, before Strawberry Steve can even stand up, Shane Gates runs over and hits Steve in the back of the head with a HUGE big boot that seemingly knocks him unconscious upon impact.)

Shane Gates: THIS IS MY FUCKING POINT! THIS IS WHY I’M DOING THIS; BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU! YOU SHOULDN’T EVEN BE HERE, YOU SHOULDN’T BE HAVING THIS OPPORTUNITY, BECAUSE YOU’RE JUST ONE OF THOSE JOKES WHO THINK IT’S HILARIOUS TO RUIN LIVES! 

(Shane Gates then begins to rapidly kick Steve in the stomach, as the deranged doll-lover has clearly reached his limit.)

Shane Gates: PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE WHY LIZZIE IS WHAT SHE IS RIGHT NOW!

(Shane then kicks Steve in the head; breaking off his glasses, and sending them flying across the room.)

Shane Gates: PEOPLE LIKE **YOU** ARE WHAT I HATE! PEOPLE LIKE ED WAGNER!

(Shane then stomps on Steve’s head, the last leg attack he does to Steve, as Steve falls limp, completely knocked out. Shane Gates then kneels down next to Steve, and begins to speak directly into his face.)

Shane Gates: People like YOU are exactly why I am going to win the 24/7 Contract. People like those jokes in there. People who will just be summed up to a simple body count in my wake. And that’s going to be undeniable.

(Shane grabs Steve by the hair, and lifts him up into a powerbomb position after picking him up, before dragging him over to the window that peeked into the locker room. In one swift motion, Shane Gates then powerbombs Strawberry Steve through the glass, into the locker room, as he tumbles down on top of a chair, upside down.)

Johnny Andrews: I feel ya, Steve. When your body is as good as mine, you just wanna lie down and rest. :drakehug:

(Shane begins to twitch his head in anger, as his and Lizzie’s curse was interrupted by someone that he hates dearly. He takes another deep breath, trying to compose himself, before he walks away, tending to Lizzie The Doll. The final shot of the room is Strawberry Steve upside down on a chair, with everyone else confused as to what they just saw, before Pain For Pride fades back out to the ringside area in the Sofi Stadium.)

(The camera fades to a promotional ad for the upcoming Draft show. Find out where your favorite Elitists will be going in the new season, all in one week’s time.)

(The camera fades to the next match graphic.)

(The crowd in the SoFi Stadium are on their feet in anticipation for the next match on the slate as Showdown’s Gina Romano is standing out front just inches from the commentary table holding her microphone up ready to speak. Each of the 24/7 Battle Royal participants is already in the ring. Each participant eagerly awaits the beginning of their road toward bigger and better things. But first, here’s Gina Romano.)

Gina Romano: The following contest is the 24/7 Battle Royal!

(The crowd in attendance is cheering loudly in anticipation of the battle that is about to take place.)

Gina Romano: The only way to eliminate your opponent is by sending them over the top rope where both feet MUST hit the floor! The last participant remaining will be declared the winner and the owner of the 24/7 contract with an opportunity to cash in for a future championship match!

Crowd: BATTLE ROYAL! *Clap! CLAP! CLAP CLAP CLAP!*BATTLE ROYAL! *Clap! CLAP! CLAP CLAP CLAP!*BATTLE ROYAL! *Clap! CLAP! CLAPCLAPCLAP!* 

(Gina is shown leaving the ring to take her place in a seat near the time keeper’s area.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Deadprez: And this match is officially underway!!! And look at Strawberry Steve who takes things casually putting his hands in his pockets and rolls out of the ring looking like he couldn’t care less about the match. The BBB Champion looks too cool for this Battle Royal it seems and Shane Gates has thought about the same strategy as he is also out of the ring and sits on the security railing that surrounds the ring looking inside the squared circle. Meanwhile, we have fifteen other competitors who are hungry to win big tonight with this Battle Royal match! The winner earning the 24/7 Contract last won by Jon Kelton but cashed in by Justin Windgate after he defeated him for it! We all remember he used it to become Interwire Champion so one can only try and imagine now the possibilities that will befall the winner of this edition! 

Jake Mercer: Mary Atlas is going hard against Johnny Andrews with fists and elbows rocking the LGBTQ colors to celebrate Pride Month backing the Shaman of Sexy into a corner with the fury of a wild amazon before she gets a thumb to the eyes and spun around! Now Andrews goes to work with strikes of his own and begins to stomp a mudhole into Atlas! Meanwhile, Donovan Duke is going at it with Lucas Johnson! Ximena Velasquez and Kensi are throwing fists and haymakers at each other! Alexis Chambers dropkicks Lisa Wren who was trying for a superkick of her own as Lisa rolls out of the ring while Alexis climbs atop of the nearest turnbuckle and crossbody herself atop of Alex Myers, Jonny Airhart, Lucas Johnson, and Michael Jack! The ring is quickly turning into a battlefield of chaotic and uncontrollable proportions as Lucas Johnson suddenly nails Envy Ellis with the Lightswitch Claymore mick! Down goes Envy! 

Persephone: It’s Lucas Johnson. I don’t think it’s that hard to combat that, he’s a smooth-brained loser.

Jake Mercer: We shouldn’t be making fun of him like that! It’s called lissencephaly, it’s very serious. 

Deadprez: Are we going to go like this the entire match? Am I the only adult in this trio? Duke and Lucas are battling against the ropes as those affected by the Chambers’ splash are slowly getting up. Donovan whips Johnson into the ropes he is looking for a clothesline but Lucas ducks low and takes him down with a neck breaker! The Blueprint goes atop of the Duke throwing down hammers for fists BUT HE GETS GRABBED BY THE HEAD BY XIMEVA VELASQUEZ AND THROWN WITH INSANE FORCE INTO THE NEAREST CORNER! 

Jake Mercer: Down goes Johnson as Los Dios goes to focus on someone else namely Kensi who felt the opposition coming! She goes for a clinch with Ximena before going down to the mat with a takedown! She quickly chains up with a chokehold variant but her opponent is near the ropes! The official on the outside asks that Kensi let go of the hold but she keeps it locked in a while longer before freeing he-SHE JUST GOT SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT BY ALEX MYERS!! WHERE DID HE COME FROM??  Meanwhile, Holly Arrow is trying to get Lisa Wren over the top ropes from one of the corners and she does so BUT Lisa lands on her feet on the apron to the outside and throws a few elbows of her own to Arrow before going between the ropes for a shoulder strike getting Holly off of her! 

Persephone: What’s that lazy fuckboy doing on the outside? 

Deadprez: :lupe: It looks like Strawberry Steve is moving to stand on his knees to the apron before rolling inside of the ring and standing next to the ropes with his hands tucked in his front pant pockets. 

Jake Mercer: Look from behind Steve!!

Deadprez: Donovan Duke spins Steve around facing the BBB Champion who looks like he is in another timezone! Both men are staring and Steve goes on the offensive! Soft kick to the shin of Duke who looks on, another kick and a third! Uh oh! Steve is backing away he is calling for a super-

Persephone: You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me.

Jake Mercer: :mjgrin:

Deadprez: Kick he calls it deadly BUT WAIT! SUPERKICK BY DONOVAN DUKE TO THE SIDE OF STRAWBERRY STEVE’S HEAD!! HE HAD ENOUGH OF STEVE ANTICS!! SHADES GO FLYING AND SO DOES STEVE AS HE LEAPS  OVER THE TOP ROPES AND DOWN ON THE FLOOR!! THE KING OF STRAWB STYLE IS OUT!! NO! HE LANDED ON HIS BACK ON THE APRON AND ROLLS BACK INSIDE THE RING!! Meanwhile, Jordan Payne is trying to take advantage and shoves Donovan towards the ropes but the Duke felt it! He quickly spun AND HE THROWS PAYNE OUT!!! 

Gina Romano: JORDAN PAYNE has been ELIMINATED!

Deadprez: And there goes the first elimination! Shane Gates watches on looking unimpressed but with a faint smirk on his lips as he is standing outside the ring watching the action. But hey I ain’t him I have better things to do. Holly and Mary look at each other and they are looking to decide who they are working on! They are a team after all Most Wanted Arrow and suddenly Dray Fontana gives them the answer as he strikes Mary from behind with an elbow and forces her into a corner! He nails her down hard with a few stiff strikes but Mary goes behind him quickly grabbing at his hair pulling him back and taking him down with a backbreaker as she laid on her back with her knees propped up! Fontana is holding his back as the two girls are starting to stomp at him but he rolls out of the ring only to get clocked in the face and pushed back inside by Shane Gates who was nearby!!

Jake Mercer: That is opportunistic! 

Persephone: He would get more done if he was in the ring, fucking bum.

Deadprez: Back to the in-ring action Lucas is battling with Lisa Wren who is sided with her partner Kensi this could for a while be a winning strategy to partner up with someone in a match like this! Lucas has Lisa in a takedown maneuver but propped her up on the top ropes trying to topple her over but she hangs on to dear life! Kensi is behind Lucas, throwing punches and elbows to his back and ribs he ends up letting go of Lisa who goes back to her feet inside the ring as her partner is fighting the Wrestling Machine! Meanwhile, Michael Jack is engaged in a brawl against Jonny Airhart! Alex Myers is stomping … into a push against a corner while Ximena and Alexis are hitting each other hard in another corner.

Jake Mercer: Ah reminds me of a hockey brawl :wow:. Reminiscent of the epic rivalry between Mr. DEDEDE and The Woogieman back in 2002. It was some good times.

Persephone: I could care less about what happened in 2002, I care about this match finishing quicker than anticipated. How about everyone throws themselves out of the ring and we can just call this a draw huh?

Deadprez: I think at some point I’ll simply call this whole match by myself as there is action aplenty inside the ropes! Out goes Donovan Duke making a straight line towards Shane Gates who didn’t see him coming and gets a german suplex for his efforts onto the outside floor! Duke goes on the offense on a shaken Gates who can’t do much as he gets thrown against the security railing hard before clutching his back in pain! Duke is in the process of doing a stiff number on him as he whips him against the ring apron Gates’ back taking further damage as he tries to make a separation between him and his assailant by rolling inside the ring but he gets elbow dropped by Ximena for his efforts followed by a series of stiff kicks by the El Paso born amazon who then goes for a Camel Clutch! 

Jake Mercer: Shane Gates is flailing; he taps out quickly but this isn’t this kind of match! La Diosa is not letting go and the official is not asking her to as suddenly Dray Fontana throws a fist strike to the back of Ximena’s head. She looks PISSED! She let’s go of the Camel Clutch! She now is slowly turning to glare a hole into Dray AND HEADBUTTS HIM HARD! DOWN HE GOES! Look at the strength of Ximena Velasquez! He gets back to his feet BUT GETS PICKED UP!! XIMENA HOISTS DRAY OVER HER HEAD! SHE MOVES TO THE ROPES AND DUMPS FONTANA TO THE OUTSIDE!! DRAY FONTANA IS OUT!!

Gina Romano: DRAY FONTANA has been ELIMINATED!

Deadprez: :damn: What a display of strength by Ximena. The type of strength she used to put Harper through the flaming table!

Persephone: My Sexy Rexy is stronger.

Deadprez: That is just how dominant and quick to think on her feet, or in this case on her knees is this woman who just took out Dray Fontana! Meanwhile, Mary and Holly are battling the Big Berry Bhampionship Champion who just clocked Holly with a Pele kick getting her to her knees but Mary gets back at Steve quickly with a German Suplex showing her strength and why her family name is Atlas! Steve goes down again but goes back up trying for a roundhouse kick that connected with nothing but air as Holly is into the ropes. She meets Steve with a rebound lariat which he ducks, throwing in a high knee that clips Holly but Mary is there to take the man down with a leg sweep! 

Jake Mercer: Down goes the King of Strawb Style as he then gets picked up by Mary. Strikes to the face,  Steve picks up Mary suddenly throwing her into the ropes after he kicked Holly in the gut, getting her off him for a few seconds. He signals for a Sit-out powerbomb BUT HOLLY JUMPS ON MARY’S BACK! THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF THE MOST WANTED ARROW TOO MUCH FOR STEVE WHO CRASHES DOWN ON THE MAN UNDER THE TWO LADIES WHO BEGINS POUNDING AT HIM! They prop him up, Mary with a kick to the gut FOLLOWED BY THE MOST WANTED DDT!! STRAWBERRY STEVE IS IN BIG TROUBLE NOW! HE GETS PICKED UP BY MARY WHILE HOLY POSITIONS HERSELF WITH HER TO STRIKE!!

Holly Arrow: (off-mic) SHOOOOO-RYUKEN!!!!

Persephone: Nerd.

Deadprez: THE JUMPING UPPERCUT! THE HOMMAGE TO STREET FIGHTER CONNECTS! STEVE GOES OVER THE TOP ROPES! DOWN HE GOES! AND HE IS OUT OF HERE!!

Gina Romano: STRAWBERRY STEVE has been ELIMINATED!

Jake Mercer: What a way to go for Steve as Most Wanted Arrow high fives each other proud of what they’ve done! One step closer to the 24-7 Contract for them! The BBB Champion casually sits up from his horizontal position, fixes his shades before moving up to a vertical base, and slowly proceeds to make his way backstage. 

Persephone: Sometimes I question why he shows up sometimes. We don’t need more of him, what we do need is more Rexy McAllister if you ask me.

Deadprez: Lucas Johnson is choking Alexis Chambers in a corner with both hands wrapped tightly around the neck of the Doctor Blue’s fiancee who is gasping for air trying to pry Lucas’ hands off of him. He tries for a few kicks to the hips of Johnson before reversing the hold and throws in some chops to the chest of the blueprint and the crowd follows with Woooo’s following each welt-inducing strikes that Chambers is throwing in with force but then Johnson reverses the thing again following a thumb to the eyes! Alexis is back in the corner, her ribs rammed hard by several shoulder tackles quickly thrown in by the blueprint!

Jake Mercer: Lucas Johnson is looking like a man on fire here tonight as he begins trying to force Johnny Andrews out of the ring using the support of that corner! Lucas Johnson has Alexis Chambers across the top rope, and Johnny Andrews looks like he’s teetering— 

Persephone: UGH!!!! Why her?!?! 

Deadprez: ENVY ELLIS RUSHES IN AND CONNECTS WITH AN ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD OF LUCAS JOHNSON! Ellis is looking to pick the bones of what Lucas Johnson started, as he now begins lifting Alexis up with the support of the corner— Envy nearly has Alexis over the rope, but I don’t think he’s in a good enough position to get him out of the ring! 

Jake Mercer: Alexis Chambers is teetering, and Envy Ellis smells blood in the water— one more big push from Envy and it could be the end of Alexis Chambers night here, tonight folks! Envy pushes Alexis on more time before—

Deadprez: — DONOVAN DUKE SWOOPS IN AND GRABS ENVY BY HER LEGS AND THRUST HER OVER THE ROPES AND DOWN TO THE FLOOR!!! Envy Ellis had himself in a prime position to eliminate Alexis, but she also had himself in a position to be eliminated as well as she and Alexis both landed on the floor.

Gina Romano: ENVY ELLIS AND ALEXIS CHAMBERS have been ELIMINATED!

Jake Mercer: This is Donovan’s second and third elimination tonight! Or does that one count as a two-for-one special!?

Persephone: Just throw them out already.

Deadprez: Strong showing from the Oklahoma-born small-sized man! He ain’t Rexy though but right now the Duke is looking strong. And we are down to 13! Shane Gates is seated in a corner nursing the back that Ximena did a number on a little bit before she eliminated Dray in stunning fashion! Lisa Wren is yelling and charging at Alex Myers going hard with strikes and elbows while Wren’s partner Kensi is fighting Jonny Airhart! Fists and backhands, elbows and stiff strikes are abounded by all sides! Airhart manages to whip Kensi into the ropes going for a shoulder block but she takes him down with a clothesline! She follows with an elbow drop and a few quick stiff kicks while we see Lucas sneaking up behind Shane Gates who just started moving around after having gotten to his feet AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX AFTER HE SPUN HIM AROUND! Shane is seeing stars now as Lucas is punching away to the back of Gates’ head! Moving to his feet he dea-

Jake Mercer: HE DEADLIFTS SHANE INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX! He got so much force in it that Shane somehow is on his feet but is stumbling and he looks out! BLUEPRIIIIIIIIINT!! THE JUMPING CUTTER OUT OF NOWHERE BY JOHNSON! DOWN GOES GATES BUT HE GETS PICKED UP AGAIN! THIS IS ACADEMIC AT THIS POINT! WHIP OVER THE ROPES! CRASHLANDING! GOOD NIGHT!! HE’S OUT! 

Gina Romano: SHANE GATES has been ELIMINATED!

Jake Mercer: That’s all she wrote for Gates!!

Persephone: He won’t be missed! 

Deadprez: Johnny Andrews has joined the fray as she’s now looking for someone to eliminate, as he turns to his right she sees Mary and Holly working to try and eliminate Alex Myers, Andrews turns to his left where he’s — MET WITH A BIG BOOT FROM XIMENA VELASQUEZ! 

Jake Mercer: Ximena nearly kicked Johnny’s head off! That boot rattled Andrews as she falls back, and now Ximena is on the hunt! She makes a B-Line straight for Alexis Johnny and begins working on him as Johnny tries his hardest to defend himself!  Ximena Velasquez takes a few steps back before she charges towards Andrews who’s defenseless against those ropes! Ximena charges—-CLOTHESLINE! XIMENA CLOTHESLINES JOHNNY ANDREWS OVER THE TOP ROP– WAIT NO?!

Persephone:  WHY IS HE BEING SO RESILIENT JUST LOSE ALREADY!?!?!

Deadprez: JOHNNY manages to counter the clothesline at the very last second flipping Ximena over her shoulder and onto the ring floor! Johnny Andrews just eliminated Ximena Velasquez!!! 

Jake Mercer: He just took a sigh of relief as– WAIT A MINUTE! ON THE APRON!! XIMENA VELASQUEZ MANAGED TO HOLD ON, AND ANDREWS DOESN’T EVEN REALIZE IT! BUT I HAVE A FEELING HE DOES NOW– AS XIMENA VELASQUEZ GRABS JOHNNY ANDREWS BY THE HAIR AND PULLS HIM OVER THE ROPE– DISPLAYING A BRUTAL SHOWING OF STRENGTH— JOHNNY IS SCREAMING IN PAIN ON THE APRON AS XIMENA HEADBUTTS HIM AND FINALLY LETS GO OF HIS HAIR BUT ANDREWS IS ON HIS HANDS STANDING UPSIDE DOWN!! HE IS NOT OUT JUST YET THOUGH STUMBLING! WHAT AGILITY BY JOHNNY WHO MAKES HIS WAY TO THE STEPS AND GETS SAFELY ON IT. He makes his way to the apron BUT GETS TACKLED BY XIMENA FROM INSIDE THE RING!! ANDREWS FLIES AND LANDS HARD JUST IN FRONT OF OUR ANNOUNCER’S TABLE! HE’S OUT OF HERE! 

Gina Romano: JOHNNY ANDREWS has been ELIMINATED!

Deadprez: And there goes Andrews as we go back to the action! Johnny Andrews really displayed some impressive agility out there trying to stay alive; this is the markings of a strong prospect. We can’t wait to see what he will do next season! On our right-hand side,Alex looks in front of him and there stands Most Wanted Arrow who are on a hot streak tonight working together efficiently. They smirk and Alex stands his ground taunting them to come to him! Mary charges in first, she gets a forearm smash for her trouble! Holly goes for a leg sweep well scouted by Myers who blocks it with a leg of his own shoving her off reach before arm dragging Mary to the floor followed by a hip toss and a quick snapmare to Holly! Myers is displaying quickness and agility here he will be to lookout for during season 15 regardless of how he does here tonight! Mary rushes back punching him in the gut as Holly quickly dropkicks him into a corner the two girls backs up preparing a team move together but quickly Myers is turning to face the corner and climbs the turnbuckle what is he do-

Jake Mercer: THE SINNER LULLABY ON MOST WANTED ARROW HOLY COW!!! THEY WATCHED HIM CLIMB WONDERING WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO AND HE SURPRISED THEM WITH HIS FINISHER!! He gets to his feet quickly to the pleasure of the fans and forces Holly to her feet by tugging hard at her hair. He wants to toss her out of the ring but Mary climbs to one of his feet! And then we see Holly Arrow tosses Alex Myers over the top rope and onto the apron, But Alex Myers hangs on with both hands holding on to dear life as Arrow is trying hard to push Myers off of the apron and out of this match! Look at Mary!!

Persephone: Flying bitch.

Deadprez: SHE RUNS AND BASEBALL SLIDES BETWEEN HOLLY AND ALEX MYERS LEGS! WHILE UNDER MYERS  SHE QUICKLY GRABS MYERS HIPS AND LIFTS THEM OFF THE APRON!! COULD IT BE?!?!? IT IS!! MARY ATLAS IS TRYING TO  POWERBOMB ALEX MYERS OFF THE APRON TO THE OUTSIDE USING HER OWN MOMENTUM!! BUT  ALEX MYERS IS TRYING TO HOLD ONTO THE ROPE! I THINK ALEX MYERS HAS THE ROPE! HE HAS IT! HE’S SAFE —

Jake Mercer: — SUPERKICK FROM HOLLY ARROW FORCES ALEX MYERS TO RELINQUISH THE ROPE— MARY ATLAS SEES THE OPPORTUNITY– POWERBOMB TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! ALEX MYERS IS OUT! ALEX MYERS IS DONE!

Gina Romano: ALEX MYERS has been ELIMINATED!

Persephone: Now that’s a way to eliminate someone! I wouldn’t want to be Alex Myers right now. He’s going to feel that one in the morning! Mary looks pleased as she slides back in the ring to regroup with Holly Arrow! Alex displayed good things tonight he is clearly rising up the ranks as a newcomer. Pay attention to him during Season 15 folks he will surely be worth watching!

Deadprez: That marks two eliminations for the team of Mary S. Atlas and Holly Arrow, these two look like they might go all the way! Meanwhile, on the other side of the ring, Lucas Johnson is being worked on in the corner by Michael Jack, who sends a very stiff elbow to the ‘BluePrints’ jaw! Lucas looks dazed in the corner as Michael Jack charges him– SANDWICHING HIM BETWEEN HIMSELF AND THE TURNBUCKLE! 

Jake Mercer: Lucas Johnson looks absolutely gassed here, as Michael Jack continues his assault! Sending lefts and rights to the body and face of Lucas Johnson! Michael Jack starts ascending the turnbuckle to get a better position as Lucas Johnson is absolutely defenseless! 

Deadprez: Michael Jack postures up on at second turnbuckle and begins throwing unanswered punches to the temple and face of Lucas Johnson!!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!!

FIVE!!

SIX!!

SEVEN!!

EIGHT!!!

NI— 

Jake Mercer: Lucas Johnson has begun to stir— JUST AS MICHAEL JACK WAS CLOSING IN ON HIS NINTH PUNCH LUCAS JOHNSON GRABS HIM BY HIS HIPS AND FLIPS HIM OVER THE TURNBUCKLE— BUT MICHAEL JACK QUICKLY LANDS ON HIS FEET ON THE APRON, BARELY ESCAPING ELIMINATION BY THE SKIN OF HIS TEET—

Deadprez: LUCAS JOHNSON REALIZES MICHAEL JACK IS STILL ALIVE ON THE APRON HE BACKS UP AND CHARGES TOWARDS MICHAEL JACK— CLAYMORE KICK!!! CLAYMORE KICK CON-WHAT THE FUCK?? MARY ATLAS WITH A SLING BLADE BLINDSIDING LUCAS WHO WAS ABOUT TO ELIMINATE MICHAEL JACK!! WHAT A SAVE BUT WHY DID SHE DO IT?? SUDDENLY BOTH HER AND MANY ARE STOMPING AT LUCAS WHO CRUMBLES IN A CORNER! Mary backs off telling Holly that to prop him up she will punt him into next week and she goes to the opposite corner! Holly does as asked raising Johnson this doesn’t sound good as Mary charges we know what’s coming Headshot is c-

Persephone: OH YES! NOW THIS IS GETTING INTERESTING!

Deadprez: HOLLY JUST SUPERKICKED MARY!!! HOLLY JUST KICKED MARY TO THE FACE!!! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS???

Persephone: LET THERE BE BLOOD!

Jake Mercer: :krabs:

Deadprez: The crowd boos loudly as Holly looks down at Mary staring at her with malicious intent and a smirk on her lips before going to work on her seemingly former partner now! The Most Wanted Arrow seems broken as Holly goes for SWEET 16!!! HER RIPCORD CLOTHESLINE FINISHER ON MARY WHO GOES DOWN HARD! Holly doesn’t look sad at all as she picks up her friend and goes to DELIVER THE MOVE AGAIN!! Mary seems out cold and Holly licks her lips loving the carnage she just caused as he then gets Mary to her feet and bitch slaps her! The gal on that young woman Mary was her best friend!! She props her up for a pump handle-like move BUT MARY GETS HER ON HER SHOULDERS!! SHE THROWS HOLLY OUTSIDE WITH A FIREMAN’S CARRY MOVE!! HOLLY CRASHES DOWN!! AND SHE… IS… OUT!!!! 

Gina Romano: HOLLY ARROW has been ELIMINATED!

Persephone: LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT’S LIKE RONAN AT BATTLE OF EGYPT! I’M FUCKING DYING HOW DID THAT BACKFIRE?!

Deadprez: Arrow is screeching up a storm like a banshee to the outside clearly angry and frustrated at the end of her match and the failure of her plan while Mary waves her bye-bye while holding the back of her neck before turning her attention to who is left in the ring. She sees Johnny, Michael, Lisa, Kensi, Lucas, Ximena, and Donovan and she goes for Airhart leaping into a Lou Thez Press and begins to brawl him to the ground! Meanwhile, Lisa and Kensi are battling against Ximena who seems to be able to handle them both on her own! Lucas is fighting with Michael Jack leaving Donovan to ponder his options! Kensi and Lisa are pummeling at Airhart shoving him into a corner, Lisa working at the head while Kensi is punching and kicking at the midsection! Lisa grabs Johnny’s legs trying to get him off the map and to the top ropes trying to eject him from the match and out of contention and he actually slips to the apron! 

Jake Mercer: He faces Lisa and Kensi they both stare at him and HE SMACKS THEIR HEADS TOGETHER WITH HASTE!! Both are rattled and backs off the ropes a little bit as wait a minute look at Airhart taking a swing he lifts himself up! Feet on the top ropes! He leaps CORKSCREW 450 SPLASH ON BOTH LISA AND KENSI FROM THE TOP ROPE!!! WHAT AGILITY BY JOHNNY THE CROWD GOES CRAZY FOR THAT DISPLAY AS HE GETS UP AND BOWS RESPECTFULLY TO THE- WAIT A MINUTE LUCAS JOHNSON WITH AN UPPERCUT THAT STUNS AIRHART HE GOES AGAINST THE ROPES HE JUST LEAPT FROM! 

Deadprez: LIGHTSWITCH!!!!!!

Persephone: How are you going to copy a Terry Chambers move, have a generic ass name along with it, and still manage to be as bad as him.

Jake Mercer: CLAYMORE KICK!!!!!!!! THE KICK CONNECTS AND IT SENDS AIRHART FLYING OFF THE APRON TO THE FLOOR! HE’S OUT!

Gina Romano: JONNY AIRHART has been ELIMINATED!

Deadprez: That’s Lucas Johnson’s second elimination on the night, and what an elimination it was!!! 

Jake Mercer: Opportunistic as fuck that Lucas! I’m starting to like him! Wait, that doesn’t sound right.

Deadprez: Nothing about you sounds right Jake. Jonny had one heck of a match tonight and he showed his skills he is to look out for coming into Season 15! Lucas looks happy looking down on Airhart proud that he is still in this fight while Lisa and Kensi are slowly getting up BUT IT MAY BE SHORT-LIVED AS MICHAEL JACK COMES FROM BEHIND AND TOSSES LUCAS JOHNSON OVER THE TOP ROPE AND ONTO THE FLOOR!! LUCAS JOHNSON IS OUT! LUCAS JOHNSON IS GONE! 

Persephone: UGH WHY DOES HE STILL HOLD ON!? JUST QUIT ALREADY GOD! 

Jake Mercer: LUCAS JOHNSON IS HOLDING ONTO THE TOP ROPE FOR DEAR LIFE AS MICHAEL JACK BEGINS HAMMERING AWAY ON HIM! PUNCH AFTER PUNCH JACK IS NOT LETTING UP BUT LOOK AT THE RESILIENCY LUCAS JOHNSON IS DISPLAYING AS HE CONTINUES TO HOLD ON! 

Deadprez: Michael Jack is doing his best to eliminate Lucas Johnson but it’s not enough— wait a minute, what is Lucas Johnson doing? Lucas Johnson just grabbed Michael in the suplex position from the ring apron!! If Lucas isn’t careful he can eliminate both Jonny and Himself here right now! 

Jake Mercer: Lucas has Michael teetering, but while he’s doing that he’s also got to watch out for his own balance!! Wait somethings going on the other side of the ring as Lisa and Kensi have Donovan Duke in a terrible predicament, as he’s now nearing elimination! Duke is practically doing a handstand on the apron to avoid elimination here— HERE COMES XIMENA VELASQUEZ WHO RUSHES IN TO DELIVER A SOCCER KICK TO THE FACE OF MICHAEL JACK ON ON HIS END WITH LUCAS JOHNSON WAS WORKING ON TRYING TO ELIMINATE THE WRESTLING MACHINE!! JACK DIDN’T SEE THE MOVE COMING AND HE IS OUTTA HERE!!

Gina Romano: MICHAEL JACK has been ELIMINATED!

Persephone: Oh no, so unfortunate, anyways where were we?

Deadprez: Unfortunate for Michael who had a good showing tonight! Off to the showers for him but he has a good future ahead of him that one no matter where he gets drafted! Back to the action Lisa and Kensi are looking to still eliminate Donovan while Mary locks horns with Lucas who was starting to sweat earlier from near elimination! Ximena looks on leaning against a corner as Mary and Lucas Johnson are battling it out on the apron! Both trying to get the other to make a mistake! Lucas punches Mary, and it sends her teetering on the apron, but Mary sends one right back to Lucas and it has the same effect!  

Jake Mercer: Atlas is taking advantage now as he tries to force Lucas Johnson’s hand off the top rope! Lucas Johnson’s grip is slipping! Mary Atlas is trying his hardest to pry Lucas Johnson’s fingers off! Lucas’ hand is slipping! He’s slipping!!  LUCAS JOHNSON IS GONE! HE LOSES HIS GRIP AND HE’S OUT OF THIS MATC—- WAIT A MINUTE! 

Deadprez:: OUT OF PURE DESPERATION— LUCAS JOHNSON SEE’S HIS HAND IS SLIPPING AND JUST THROWS A WILD HEADBUTT THAT STAGGERS MARY ATLAS—- LUCAS TAKES A STEP BACK! HE TURNS TOWARDS THE STAGGERED MARY ATLAS—- SUPERKICK ON THE APRON!! SUPERKICK AND HE GETS ALL OF IT AS MARY FALLS OFF THE APRON ONTO THE  FLOOR AT RINGSIDE!

Gina Romano: MARY S. ATLAS has been ELIMINATED!

Deadprez: What a performance by Mary S. Atlas tonight! She made it within the top 6 in this match only to be taken out by Lucas who keeps on fighting! Ximena Is grabbing Lisa by the throat signals for a chokeslam! That will be painful for Wren who is now in the air! Here comes Kensi trying to help her friend BUT GETS A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE FOR HER TROUBLE!! KENSI IS DOWN! LISA GOT NO ONE TO HELP HER AS SHE IS HANGING ABOVE VELASQUEZ’ HEAD ATOP OF HER ARM! LISA GETS SLAMMED DOWN-WAIT!! SHE IS HOLDING ON TO THE WRIST THAT’S SLAMMING HIM OUT!! 

Jake Mercer: XIMENA’s MOMENTUM FROM THE MOVE HAS HER ALMOST GO OVER THE ROPES AND OUT !!! BUT SHE BLOCKS HER SWING WITH A FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE WHILE STILL HAVING A GRIP ON LISA’S NECK! LISA HANGS ON HOLDING ONTO XIMENA’S WRIST! XIMENA LIFTS HER UP! HEADBUTT’S LISA AND SLAMS HER DOWN!! WREN LOST HER GRIP! SHE LANDS ON HER BACK HARD! SHE IS OUT!!! 

Persephone: :mjlol2:

Gina Romano: LISA WREN has been ELIMINATED!

Deadprez: WHAT AN UNUSUAL WAY TO GET TAKEN OUT BY THE ONE YOU TRIED TO TAKE OUT!! I’VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE!! Kensi who is nearby can’t believe it as Lisa, her team partner is writing in pain from the chokeslam but she looks to have a shiver down her spine as she hears Ximena who is somehow laughing that they actually managed to pull out that move! That was great thinking on Lisa’s behalf despite no longer being able to compete! A definite highlight of this match and then there were four left! 

Jake Mercer: Kensi, Johnson, Duke, and Velasquez!

Persephone: ALL OF YOU! JUMP OUT! I THINK REX SHOULD COME IN AND WIN THIS HIMSELF!

Jake Mercer: I’m betting on Ximena, she scares the fuck out of me! Kensi backs away slowly from Ximena and ends up pressed against Lucas’s own back who just slammed Duke down with a bodyslam behind her! The two turn to face each other and instantly begin to throw fists of hateful fury at each other!! Kensi! Lucas! Kensi! Lucas! Lucas ends up with the upper hand whipping Kensi into the top ropes and as she comes back the sunset flips her behind him near the ropes! That was close had he been closer to the apron she might have ended down on the floor with Lisa! Kensi gets back up, taking it to Lucas throwing in a thumb to the eyes of Lucas who gets blinded smart move all things considered meanwhile Donovan and Ximena are fighting on in a corn-

Deadprez: LOOK AT KENSI!!!

Jake Mercer: I MISSED THAT SHE HAS JOHNSON HOISTED OVER HER SHOULDER LIKE A POTATO SACK!! SHE HEADS TOWARDS THE APRON LUCAS IS FLAILING NOT WANTING TO BE ELIMINATED!! KENSI GIVES NOT AN INCH OF A DAMN AS SHE TRIES TO TOSS HIM OUT BUT HE GRABS ONTO THE TOP ROPE! SHE STRAINS TRYING TO FORCE HIM OUT BUT LUCAS SHIFTS HIS POSITION ATOP OF HER HE IS … A HURRICANRA-FUCKING-NA BY LUCAS WHO HAS HIS LEGS AROUND KENSI’S NECK! HE HANGS ONTO THE ROPES AS KENSI GOES OVER THEM AND DOWN ON THE GROUND!! KENSI IS OUT!! IT’S OVER FOR HER!!

Gina Romano: KENSI has been ELIMINATED!

Deadprez: THAT WAS AN IMPRESSIVE MOVE FROM LUCAS TO TAKE OUT KENSI!!! I think no one expected that one!  

Persephone: I don’t think anyone really cares in the first place.

Jake Mercer: And we are now down to the final three in this exciting battle! Who will come out on top of this battle royal and claim the 24/7 Contract? It will be either the powerful Ximena Velasquez…

Persephone: Lucas Johnson… How the fuck is he still in this?

Deadprez: Or the surprising Donovan Duke! 

Jake Mercer: The three of them are staring at each other. Ximena is cracking her knuckles while Donovan positions himself to be ready to get pounced on by either the beast of a woman in the ring or the Blueprint who is looking at them both also wondering who will be striking first. 

Deadprez: A WESTERN LARIAT FROM XIMENA TO LUCAS WHO DIDN’T SEEM READY AS HE WAS ACTUALLY JUST TURNING TO GO TOWARDS DONOVAN AND DOWN HE GOES IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE A TRAIN JUST HIT HIM!! HE JUST SUFFERED WHAT SHE CALLS “PA’ LA RAZA” AND NOW JOHNSON IS IN TROUBLE AS SHE PICKS HIM UP AND MANEUVERS HIM TO THE ROPES! 

Jake Mercer: SHE DOES IT AGAIN!!

Persephone: FINALLY YOU FUCKING IDIOTS!

Gina Romano: LUCAS JOHNSON has been ELIMINATED!

Deadprez: Another impressive display of power and strength by Ximena!! Lucas did great tonight but it was not meant to be! And we are now with two left! The final pair! Lucas had an incredible run during this match but tonight was not meant to be his day! Strong way to end Season 14 though he has much to look forward to for next season! NOW! The next elimination signals the end of the match and determines the winner! Ximena is leaning against the ropes staring at who they just eliminated before turning and looks at Duke who is on his knees taking a breather. The crowd is cheering, they have enjoyed this match so far and there is a little more left! Who between those two athletes will win this match? We’re about to find out as the official entices them to engage and this feels like a whole new match as they go for a clinch! Ximena takes over with much strength being taller even than her opponent and drills him down with a headbutt! Chop to the chest of Donovan followed by a powerful throw to the corner turnbuckle. Duke drops down and goes to his knees. Neckbreaker by Velasquez followed by a few elbow drops! 

Jake Mercer: Ximena picks Duke up, Pumphandle NO DUKE REVERSES IT! HE LANDS BEHIND HER HUGGING HER BACK AND THROWS HER BACKWARDS WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! THEN A SECOND! HE DOESN’T LET GO OF HER FOLLOWED BY A THIRD WHICH HE LET’S GO! Velasquez is laid out near a corner and Duke thinks high risk! He climbs a corner, measuring Ximena, and goes airborne WITH A SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!! BEAUTIFUL EXECUTION AND IT CONNECTS! He can’t win a match with his opponent on the ground however so he picks her up and whips her into the ropes! She charges back, he gets her into a Tornado DD…Wait she keeps spinning SHE RUNS INTO A CORNER TURNING THE DDT INTO A SPEAR!!!! MY GOD THAT A COUNTER BY LA DIOSA! 

Deadprez: She backs off the corner as Duke is holding his back in pain, Xemina composes herself finding her bearings before moving to Duke and grab at him hard she is BEAR HUGGING HIM!! WE CAN ALMOST HEAR HIS RIPS POP FROM HERE DONOVAN IS IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE RIGHT NOW DOES THIS MEAN THE END FOR HIM?? XIMENA IS RAGDOLLING HIM MY GOD WHAT A BEAST AND THEN SHE LETS Him GO! He leans heavily on the ropes hanging on to the top one to dear life and waits a minute, Ximena is backing up against the adjacent ropes and crouches she is going YES SHE SIGNALS FOR ANOTHER SPEAR! BY GOD SHE DASHES FORWARD WITH QUICKNESS AND STRENGTH SHE WANTS TO BREAK DONOVAN IN HALF!

Gavin Kirkland: LOOK AT DUKE!!

Deadprez: HE LOWERS THE TOP ROPE WITH ALL OF HIS WEIGHT AS XIMENA LEAPS FOR HER SPEAR!!! SHE GOES OVER THE TOP!! SHE CRASHES DOWN!!! SHE IS OUT OF THE RING!!!! 

Jake Mercer: THAT’S IT! XIMENA IS DOWN ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!!!!!

Persephone: ITS FINALLY  OVER!!!! 

(DING DING DING!!!)

( ‘The Outsiders’ by Eric Church plays as Donovan collapses against the ropes, breathing a sigh of relief as a referee enters the ring to give him the 24/7 Contract briefcase.)

Gina Romano: Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of the Season 14 24/7 Battle Royale; DO-NO-VAAAAAAN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: What an Incredible INCREDIBLE I SAY PERFORMANCE BY THIS INCREDIBLY GIFTED YOUNG MAN!! THE DUKE HAS ARRIVED!! HE IS NOW A 24/7 CONTRACT HOLDER!!! 

Jake Mercer: Great display of resilience, smarts, and athleticism from the man who pulled one of the biggest performances of his career just now against some impressive opponents and some very impressive up and comers! Ximena Velasquez while she did not win pulled out a clinic on how to be a beast in the ring! She was mighty strong! Clearly, something to work with ahead of Season 15! 

(The last shot shows Donovan leaving through the ropes, where he pauses out front on the floor. He holds the briefcase up as the fans cheer for Duke’s victory as the scene shifts elsewhere.)

(The camera’s transition to the backstage portion of the arena. La Diosa, Ximena Velasquez, is seen making her way through the backstage area. Obviously the 24/7 Battle Royal didn’t go out as she planned but at the same time, she walks out with a little pride knowing that she outlasted 15 other people in the matchup. She stops for a moment to take a drink out of her water bottle but before she can continue moving, she’s stopped abruptly as someone taps on her shoulder. She scoffs and angrily turns around, having some anger still lingering inside of her from defeat, but her anger is quickly disseminated. She smiles as the camera shows the person standing in front of her; Sierra Bradford.)

Sierra Bradford: Hi.

Ximena Velasquez: I’m surprised you’re able to stand.

(The camera focuses on the bruises and marks exposed on Sierra’s beaten body after the Street Fight that she had to go through against Harper Lee the previous day. Sierra smiles, but it’s clear that she is exhausted. Sierra leans on the wall and slightly whimpers when she takes a few steps towards XV.) 

Sierra Bradford: I’ll be fine, it’s just a few scratches. Besides, it’s nothing that I haven’t been through before. Nothing’s going to stop me from missing the final day of Pain For Pride. 

Ximena Velasquez: I understand that, but you should really go and lay down somewhere. Judging by what you went through yesterday, I don’t think walking around is in your best interest. 

Sierra Bradford: Oh, I am – I just wanted to come out here and say thanks. 

Ximena Velasquez: Thanks?

Sierra Bradford: Thanks for, you know, not murdering me as instructed by Harper. :lupe: I knew she was getting on your nerves and it was only a matter of time, but you really saved my ass out there. God knows where I’d be if you let it happen. 

Ximena Velasquez: (Chuckles) You don’t have to thank me. In actuality, I want to thank you. After seeing you two battle it out, I realized something that now that I think about it I should’ve realized a long time ago… Harper ain’t shit. 

Sierra Bradford: Oh wow, never knew you had the same sentiments as 99.9 % of the world. It’s been something I’ve been saying for weeks now and I knew at least one person was going to take it into consideration unlike what Harper was trying to say about me.

Ximena Velasquez: I mean, being partnered up with her felt like I was in a 60-year-old beaten-up marriage. I had an old puta with weird colored hair yell in my ear all day for the DUMBEST reasons. Did she ever really do anything to help anyone but herself in the first place? La Diosa is going to be on top of this company, and finding myself associated with Harper was only going to be dragging dead weight alongside me.

Sierra Bradford: Tell me about it! When we were still partnered up, she yelled at me because I didn’t get her gLuTeN fReE bread. Like isn’t the main ingredient for bread GLUTEN?

Ximena Velasquez: I had my suspicions way before this moment over Harper’s loyalty to me. The moment she decided to swing her flabby arms towards my way after I told her to stop, she already got what she wanted yet continued her assault for her own personal gain,I knew she was just a waste of time. I can officially say, La Diosa y La Guerita are no more. I’m sorry you weren’t able to beat the perra, but hey; at the end of the day you got the final laugh. That must count towards something, right?

Sierra Bradford: Yeah, you’re right! She might’ve gotten the win but I think it’s clear that I’m the real winner. If the Referee didn’t step in and stop the match then I’m sure things would be much different than Harper getting a victory against my own will. But at the end of the day it gives me a bit of pleasure to know that she probably has splinters and burns all over her. Besides, I still have a whole career and a new Season to look towards so this won’t keep me down for long. 

(Ximena smiles and she turns around and begins to walk away, but Sierra quickly catches up to her, clearly not finished as she continues to speak)

Sierra Bradford: But enough about me, I’d just like to say one more thing Ximena before I leave you be. Everything leading up to this, between me and you? I’m sorry for everything I said about you. I know now after seeing it from a different perspective everything that I said about you was more than incorrect. You mean what you say and you’ve enforced that every step of the way. La Diosa is truly on the climb to be one of the best in the women’s division and absolutely nobody is going to stop you. I can say for certain that you’re a great wrestler and the 24/7 Contract Battle Royal is just the start, and the only way to go from here is up.

Ximena Velasquez: Don’t be sorry for anything. Sometimes, things happen for a reason. All you have to do is trust the process. And that’s exactly what happened last night.

Sierra Bradford: Actually, actually, one more thing.

(Ximena looks at Sierra raising an eyebrow as Sierra blinks her eyes a few times)

Sierra Bradford: I’m sure you’re sorry for running me over with a truck, right? :lupe: 

(Ximena doesn’t say anything and simply walks out of frame as Sierra is left standing alone. She looks around awkwardly for a moment before shrugging her shoulders as she walks off from there. The camera transitions out to elsewhere.)

(The camera fades to the next match graphic for the night.)

(Pain for Pride fades back to ringside, and Stephie Love is seen with a microphone in her hand.)

Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL —

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!

(“Revenge” by Young Nudy begins to play through the speakers of SoFi Stadium. The crowd gives a massive and positive reception to the Hall of Famer Tyler Parker, who is rocking his trademark black leather biker jacket with the Born x Raised Los Angeles Rams hoodie underneath with the hood on. The color of his tights is a combination of royal blue and yellow, which are always known as the color of the Los Angeles Rams, and a nod to the SoFi Stadium, which is hosting this year’s Pain for Pride 14.)

Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM CALABASAS, CALIFORNIA…WEIGHING IN 202 POUNDS…EAW HALL OF FAMER…”REVENGE INCARNATE” … TYLER PARKER!!!!!!

Stew-O: What started as an opportunity to be a special guest enforcer for the No Way Out Match at Battle of Egypt turned into this Pain for Pride match from Tyler Parker. The Hall of Famer has never shied away from a fight or a moment to relish in the spotlight. This is familiar territory for him and a platform that he really shines in.

Flannery McCoy: With Pain for Pride being around his neck of the woods, I would get the feeling that we would have seen Tyler Parker making an appearance in some capacity, but I don’t think that Tyler was anticipating the direction that he would take to get here.

Jake Mercer: He should have known that the moment that he got on the bad side of Jake Smith, he would find himself regretting it. I get that Tyler’s a Hall of Famer and an accomplished Elitist! He’s done things that Jake really hasn’t done from defending a mid-card championship at Pain for Pride or being part of a World Championship match, but disrespect Jake Smith on HIS show is something that crossed the line! Tyler is going to get what’s coming to him!

(‘Stop Breathing’ by Playboi Carti blasts through the speakers to the absolutely deafening boos of the Los Angeles crowd here tonight. Jake Smith begins to make his way out to the stage as the crowd absolutely erupts and blasts the roof off the stadium with deafening boos. Jake simply soaks it all in as he looks around the atmosphere that surrounds him. He shakes his head with a smirk on his face before spreading his arms out with pure arrogance boasting out of him. It isn’t long before he focuses on the ring and hypes himself up before making his way down the ramp, looking directly at Tyler Parker while doing so.)

Stephie Love: Introducing… wrestling out of Venice, California now residing in Newark, New Jersey… weighing in at 210 pounds… THE INDUSTRY RULER… THE GODSEND… THE ICON… JAKE SMITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: Jake Smith believes that Tyler Parker cost him the opportunity to headline Pain for Pride and dethrone Xander Payne for the World Heavyweight Champion! Other people would believe that Jake is in over his head and Tyler was only sticking up for himself back at Battle of Egypt. 

Flannery McCoy: Tyler Parker has done what he could to cause a rift within Insurgency, but it seemed like his efforts didn’t do anything, but give Jake Smith even more motivation to defeat him at Pain for Pride. It’s been an interesting season for Jake. This is not the first Hall of Famer that he’ll be facing, but if it’s anything from facing Vic Vendetta or Lethal Consequences, Tyler may be in some trouble!

Jake Mercer: Tyler Parker thought that he could get away with disrespecting Jake Smith and costing him a chance of headlining Pain for Pride! What did he expect to happen? For Jake to move on from the mess? No, Jake is on a mission to make sure that Tyler knows that when you face Jake Smith, you get consequences for it! 

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stew-O: AND JAKE SMITH THROWS HIMSELF TO THE HALL OF FAMER AS HE BEGINS TO THROW PUNCHES AT HIM! BUT, YOU CAN SEE THAT TYLER PARKER IS MATCHING JAKE, PUNCH BY PUNCH! TYLER THROWS AN UPPERCUT AS HE SENDS THE LEADER OF INSURGENCY BACK A STEP! TYLER GETS JAKE BY HIS ARM, LOOKING TO WHIP HIM TO THE OTHER SET OF ROPES, BUT JAKE COUNTERS AS TYLER GETS SENT TO THE ROPES! 

Flannery McCoy: Jake Smith runs to Tyler Parker, who nails him with an elbow shot to the skull of the former two-time PURE Champion! Jake tries to shake off the elbow shot before going back to Tyler, but Tyler nails him with a kick to the stomach, stopping Jake in his tracks! Tyler proceeds to throw a couple of punches to the back of Jake Smith, who drops down to one knee! Tyler takes a step back before nailing Jake with a knee to the side of Jake’s skull, but Jake manages to stand up straight as he gets Tyler by his waist and looks to connect with a German suplex, but Tyler lands on his feet as Jake Smith turns himself around!

Jake Mercer: My name twin is met with some axe handles by the Hall of Famer! Jake drops to the mat, but Jake lands on his feet as he is met with another set of axe handles by Tyler Parker which takes Jake Smith down again! But Jake is so resilient as he finds his way back to his feet, BUT TYLER LANDS A SUPERKICK TO THE FACE OF JAKE AS THAT TAKES HIM DOWN! TYLER SEES THAT JAKE IS DOWN AS HE RUSHES TOWARDS THE SET OF ROPES AND CONNECTS WITH A LIONSAULT AS HE LANDS ON MY NAME TWIN! COME ON, JAKE! 

OOOONNNNEEEE!!!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!!

Stew-O: And, it was not enough to put Jake Smith down, but Tyler Parker was anticipating that it’s going to take more to take the very arrogant Jake Smith down! Tyler is up to his feet first as Jake slowly gets to his feet as well, but Tyler kicks Jake in the stomach before whipping him towards the set of ropes! Tyler runs towards the ropes with a clothesline, but Jake manages to lift Tyler and throw him out of the ring! 

Flannery McCoy: Not exactly, Stew! Tyler Parker lands on the apron! Jake Smith turns himself around as Tyler throws a forearm to the face of Jake Smith as he stumbles back! Jake rushes towards the Hall of Famer, looking to return the favor and throw a forearm of his own, but Tyler connects with a shoulder thrust to the ribs of Jake! Tyler pulls Jake through the middle ropes and proceeds to throw some rough-looking knee strikes to the face of Jake! Tyler is not allowing himself to hold back when dealing with someone like Jake Smith, who has been a thorn in his side ever since Battle of Egypt! 

Jake Mercer: Correction, Flannery; it’s more like Tyler Parker has been DISRESPECTING Jake Smith! Now, I respect that Tyler Parker is a Hall of Famer, but he’s in the past! Jake Smith is THE FUTURE! Jake Smith will go to heights that Tyler Parker would have dreamt of reaching! He saw what Jake was capable of doing at Battle of Egypt and knew that he couldn’t let Jake headline Pain for Pride.

Stew-O: You’re really believing that narrative? :wtf:

Jake Mercer: I only see facts, Stew! It should be Jake facing off for the World Heavyweight Championship! We were robbed of that match with Jake getting his moment in the sun! Give Jake Smith his World Championship, you cowards!

Flannery McCoy: Tyler Parker drops down at ringside as Jake Smith finds himself draped through the ropes, but Tyler connects with an uppercut on Jake as that sends his head back inside the ring! Tyler rolls himself back inside the ring as Jake tries to get himself back to his feet, BUT TYLER GETS JAKE IN POSITION! IT SEEMS LIKE WE’RE GOING TO SEE HIM HIT THE MOVE THAT HE HIT ON THE LAST DYNASTY — ‘PROPHETIC!’ 

Jake Mercer: THANK GOD! Jake Smith slides out of the rolling cutter that Tyler Parker has used to put away so many Elitists throughout his career! Jake rolls himself out of the ring and can’t you believe how smart Jake is being right now? He saw that his chances of winning the match were slipping from his grasp, so he’s taking the time to exit the scenario and think about his next move! I swear, it’s a ‘Jake’ thing. None of you would be able to understand it, but I think we’re more intelligent than people give us credit for! 

Stew-O: Now, the referee is demanding for Jake Smith to get back inside the ring, but Jake is using his index finger and taps the side of his head, almost as if saying that he *knew* what Tyler had intended to do! 

(Tyler Parker gestures for Jake Smith to get his ass back inside the ring. Even holding down the middle ropes, providing a way for Jake to enter the match, but Jake is remaining where he is.)

Jake Smith: (off-mic) THIS IS MY SHOW, TYLER! WE ARE DOING THINGS ON MY TERMS! WE WILL GO ALL NIGHT IF WE NEED TO! IT’S NOT LIKE YOU WERE DOING ANYTHING BACK IN THE RETIRE–

Flannery McCoy: Tyler Parker exits the ring! It seems like he’s never been the one to listen to anyone and what ‘their’ terms are! He is running after the two-time PURE Champion around ringside! Jake slides himself back inside the ring as Tyler slides back into the ring a moment after, but Jake Smith gets to his feet as he begins to stomp on Tyler! He stomps on Tyler’s head, ribs and arms! He is not allowing Tyler to continue to get the upper hand going into this match! The referee is needing to pull Jake away from Tyler! This creates a bit of distance for the two Elitists and most specifically, Tyler, who had his ribs stomped the hell out of by the so-called ‘Industry Ruler.’

Jake Mercer: Jake Smith and the referee are talking for a brief moment before Jake resumes his beating of Tyler Parker, but Tyler trips Jake as he falls back against the ropes! Tyler begins to unload a series of punches to the face of Jake Smith before proceeding to choke him against the bottom rope! :lupe: Come on, Jake! 

Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET GO, TYLER!

Stew-O: Tyler Parker releases the rope from the neck of Jake Smith! He finds his way back up to his feet before he proceeds to stomp on Jake! In the middle of all of that stomping, he presses his designer ring boots in the side of Jake’s face! Can you imagine all of Tyler’s weight on the side of Jake’s face! I would not be shocked if Jake breaks the side of the face because of that! Before the referee could begin his count, TYLER STEPS ON THE SECOND ROPE AS HE LOOKS DOWN ON HIS OPPONENT BEFORE DROPPING DOWN FROM THE SECOND ROPE AND JUMPING ON THE RIBS OF JAKE! JAKE IS CLUTCHING ONTO HIS RIBS AT THE MOMENT AS TYLER PULLS JAKE BY HIS LEGS, AWAY FROM THE SET OF ROPES! TYLER STILL HAS POSSESSION OF JAKE’S LEGS AND IT SEEMS LIKE HE’S GOING TO GO FOR A FIGURE-FOUR LEGLOCK ON JAKE!

Flannery McCoy: BUT, JAKE SMITH SAW WHAT TYLER PARKER WANTED TO DO AS HE TWISTS HIMSELF OUT OF THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING THE MOVE APPLIED TO HIM! BUT, TYLER STILL HAS ONE OF JAKE SMITH’S LEGS AND IT SEEMS LIKE HE’S GOING TO APPLY A HEEL HOOK ON JAKE AND…TYLER LOCKS IN THE MOVE! Jake finds himself in some trouble as he trying to drag his body to the bottom rope! But, the Hall of Famer had one plan, Jake had another one, but Tyler managed to adjust his plans and lock in the heel hook, stopping Jake in his tracks! Jake seems to be stuck at the moment with having no idea of what to do next, but Tyler has the move wrenched in and knows that if he can weaken Jake, it would shift things in this match to his favor! 

Jake Mercer: Come on, Jake! You can’t let Tyler Parker get the satisfaction of having you tap out at Pain for Pride of all places! This is supposed to be your night, Jake! This is supposed to be your moment! You can’t give up here!

Stew-O: Uh, I don’t think that Jake Smith is able to hear you, but either way, it seems like submitting isn’t an option for Jake! He knows that he’s been hyping himself to being some sort of ‘Legend Killer’ with a couple of victories over legends like Lethal Consequences and Vic Vendetta, but Tyler Parker has made it known that he’s not like any other Hall of Famer he’s faced! Tyler Parker is a different breed! He’s been to the top of the mountain! He defended the World Heavyweight Champion at Pain for Pride 8! He defended the National Elite Championship at Pain for Pride 7! He has done things that Jake can’t really say for himself! But, someone like Jake could only wish to get on Tyler’s level one of these days! But, you can tell that the determination and stubbornness of the leader of Insurgency are what is making him drag his body closer to the bottom rope! You can see that on Jake’s face, he doesn’t want to throw in the towel and call it a day! He wants to win! He wants to get a victory over Tyler Parker! 

Flannery McCoy: JAKE SMITH CLUTCHES ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE!

Jake Mercer: YES!!!! :blessed: :blessed: :blessed:

Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET GO, TYLER!

Stew-O: Tyler Parker obeys the order of the referee and releases the heel hook off of Jake Smith! This creates a bit of separation as Jake Smith is clutching the right foot, in which Tyler applied the heel hook on! Tyler has a smirk on his face as he gestures for Jake to come at him with his best shot! Jake, who has always find a way to give it a good fight, rushes towards the Hall of Famer! Jake looks to swing a punch at Tyler, but Tyler catches the punch before it lands on him! TYLER KICKS JAKE IN THE STOMACH BEFORE HE MAINTAINS THE GRASP ON JAKE’S ARM BEFORE GOING TOWARDS THE TOP ROPE! WON’T YOU LOOK AT THIS, JAKE AND FLANNERY! HE’S DOING A TIGHTROPE WALK ON THE TOP ROPE BEFORE FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A SPRINGBOARD ARM DRAG ON JAKE! TYLER FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A RUNNING NECKBREAKER ON JAKE! TYLER WITH THE COVER! 

OOOOONNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!

Flannery McCoy: Jake Smith gets his shoulder up! Tyler Parker begins to apply a headlock on Jake! Tyler finds his way to one knee as he maintains the headlock! Jake seems to be out of it after the running neckbreaker, but you can still see him trying to rip Tyler’s arms and get the Hall of Famer to release his grasp on him! But, Tyler manages to knee Jake back in the ribs that Tyler somewhat targetted around the beginning parts of the match! This causes Jake to stop trying to get out of the headlock, but Tyler transitions the side headlock to a front headlock as he continues to throw some knees to the ribs of Jake Smith! Tyler seems to have Jake in a perfect position before following that up with a suplex, but Tyler gets Jake in a tree-of-woe position! I don’t think that this is a position that Jake wants to be in! :lupe:

Jake Mercer: Oh god, Tyler Parker is taking a step back before running towards my name twin with a running dropkick to Jake at the corner! 

Stew-O: But, Jake Smith manages to set himself up before Tyler Parker could connect with that running dropkick! But, Tyler slides himself through the bottom rope and out of the ring! Tyler manages to catch himself before noticing Jake sitting on the top rope! Tyler joins Jake on the top rope! Jake is on the defense as he throws a punch at Tyler, but Tyler throws a punch back at Jake! Jake with a punch to Tyler! But, Tyler connects with a headbutt as that slightly makes him stumble back, but he manages to keep himself balanced! Tyler is trying to push Jake off the top rope, but it seems like Jake is not letting Tyler push him off! It seems like he’s trying to position Tyler in a front headlock, but Tyler tries to push Jake away from him for a second time! This time, Jake falls back as Tyler manages to stand up straight on the top turnbuckle! I don’t think whatever Tyler plans to do next is going to be a good idea! :lupe:

Flannery McCoy: TYLER PARKER WAITS FOR JAKE SMITH TO SIT HIMSELF UP! HE IS TRYING TO GET HIMSELF INTO POSITION BY STANDING BEHIND JAKE! THERE’S A BIT OF STRUGGLE, BUT TYLER GETS HIMSELF INTO POSITION BY GETTING HIMSELF ON JAKE SMITH’S SHOULDERS BEFORE SPIKING HIM WITH A REVERSE RANA FROM THE TOP ROPE! :damn: :damn: :damn: Jake Smith was spiked on his head as Tyler goes for the cover! 

OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!!

Jake Mercer: JAKE SMITH LIVES! :blessed: :blessed: It’s going to take a lot more to take Jake Smith down! He is motivated to show everyone that he can take down someone as legendary as Tyler Parker! Tyler finds himself to his feet as he grabs Jake by his beautiful brown locks and pulls him closer before connecting with a suplex! Jake is clutching to his lower back in pain as Tyler picks up Jake again before getting him by his arm again before whipping him towards the set of ropes! The former two-time World Champion runs towards his opponent with a running uppercut as that makes Jake stumble forward! Tyler picks up Jake and follows that up with an arm drag, but he seems to find himself in a good position before locking in the armbar! 

Stew-O: The former two-time PURE Champion finds himself scrambling to the bottom rope as he manages to get one of his feet on the bottom rope! Tyler Parker releases the hold before the referee could begin with his count! Meanwhile, Jake sees that as his opening to roll down the bottom rope and drop to the ground! He slams his hands to the canvas! He’s aware that things have not been going well for him in his match and that he needs to change the tides of this match and quickly if he wants a shot at winning this match! Meanwhile, look at the face of Tyler, he seems so confident! He seems so sure of himself! It’s the experience that Tyler has over Jake and it’s showing in this match! 

Flannery McCoy: It seems like Tyler is not going to wait for Jake Smith to get himself back in the ring! He’s going to meet Jake at ringside as he rebounds himself off the ropes and —

Jake Mercer: TYLER PARKER DIVES TO THE OUTSIDE AS HE CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING CROSSBODY TO JAKE SMITH!!!!! JAKE, GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!!

Stew-O: TOO LATE! TYLER LANDS ON JAKE SMITH!!!!!

(Tyler Parker picks himself up as the crowd totally loves the move. Tyler grins as he places his focus back on Jake Smith.)

Flannery McCoy: This crowd is totally up on their feet as Tyler Parker has been completely killing it at this point of the match! 

Jake Mercer: He needs to watch that confidence because I get a feeling that Jake is going to be turning this match around for himself! Don’t count out Jake just yet! I feel like Jake is just letting Tyler have his precious Pain for Pride moment in front of the crowd, but once Jake gets that move in, it’s all over for him!

Stew-O: Jake Smith tries to get himself to his feet, but the Hall of Famer beats him to the punch by pulling him by his hair! But, Jake shoves Tyler away! This creates a bit of distance between the two men as Tyler goes back to get a hold of Jake, but Jake rips Tyler’s hand off of his hair before using his other hand to throw a punch at Tyler! Tyler holds back his face, but Tyler swings to throw a punch, but Jake catches the punch! This is almost similar to what Tyler did with him around the beginning parts of the match! :lupe: 

Flannery McCoy: JAKE SMITH KICKS TYLER PARKER RIGHT BETWEEN THE LEGS AS THE HALL OF FAMER DROPS DOWN TO HIS KNEES! HOW IN THE HELL IS ALL OF THIS LEGAL?! THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A DISQUALIFICATION RIGHT THERE!

Jake Mercer: Are you saying that PAIN FOR PRIDE out of all places should have *disqualifications*, Flannery? No, this is the last FPV of the season! There must be a winner no matter what and what Jake did was so smart! I don’t think that Tyler expected Jake to go to those lengths to keep him down, but Jake does whatever he is going to do to win him the match! Tyler should have known better than to think that Jake was going to keep this match clean! Still, the referee is going to lecture Jake to not doing that shit again, but it seems like Jake got what he wanted and that was Tyler Parker on his knees and looking up at Jake! 

Stew-O: Jake Smith gets Tyler Parker by the nape of his neck before throwing him head first into the steel steps! Jake, like a rabid animal, begins to stomp the living hell out of the Hall of Famer! The referee backs Jake up again as Jake tells the referee to “fuck off” before turning his attention back to Tyler. :lupe: 

Flannery McCoy: Jake Smith grabs Tyler Parker again before throwing him to the other set of steel steps! Tyler is trying to get himself up, but Jake is not allowing for the former World Champion to get anything going for himself going into the match! Jake grabs Tyler up by the chin, forcing Tyler to look at him! 

Jake Smith: (off-mic) THIS IS MY SHOW, TYLER! JUST LIKE VIC VENDETTA, YOU ARE NOTHING MORE THAN A GUEST STAR THAT HAS OVERSTAYED HIS WELCOME!

Jake Mercer: Jake Smith grabs Tyler Parker by the nape of his neck before telling Tyler that he’ll show him the door before throwing him into the front row seats of the EAW Universe! :damn: :damn: :damn: 

(REPLAY: Jake Smith throws Tyler Parker into the front row seats of the EAW Universe. A loud thud sound is heard, which may or may not be the back of Tyler’s head.) 

(Replay ends as it heads to ringside where Tyler Parker is laying on his back. The security is trying to distance the EAW Universe. Tyler turns on his side as you can see a gash of blood forming on the back of his head.)

Stew-O: Someone may need to check the back of Tyler Parker’s head. We have one of the referees looking to check on Tyler! He looks a bit out of it, but Tyler is assuring that referee that he’s okay and he’ll continue to compete! That’s that never-give-up attitude of the Hall of Famer that got him two World Championship reigns. Meanwhile, we head back to the ring as Jake Smith is DEMANDING for the referee to begin his count! After a bit of hesitation, the referee begins his count!

Referee: ONE!… TWO!… THREE!…

Flannery McCoy: Tyler Parker is trying to get himself to his feet as he’s aware of the referee beginning to count! He knows that he can’t afford to lose this match by count-out! 

Jake Mercer: COUNT FASTER, REF! 

Referee: …FOUR!…FIVE!…SIX!…

Stew-O: Tyler Parker hops over the barricade and is finally at ringside! He tries to recollect himself to his feet as Jake Smith seems to be panicking and trying to tell the referee to count faster! He feels that his chances of winning the match are slipping away from him! 

Referee: …SEVEN!…EIGHT!…

Flannery McCoy: Tyler Parker makes contact with the apron, but you can see that Jake Smith throwing him at the EAW Universe and landing on the cement took some of the energy away from him! 

Referee: …NINE!…TE–

Jake Mercer: FUCK! TYLER PARKER SLIDES INTO THE RING JUST IN TIME!!!! :noah:

Stew-O: AND JAKE SMITH BEGINS TO STOMP ON THE HALL OF FAMER AGAIN! He can’t seem to believe that Tyler Parker made it back to the ring just barely! Jake gets Tyler by his arm and whips him towards the horizontal set of ring ropes! Jake takes Tyler down with a harsh side-hand chop! It seemed like that knocked the wind out of Tyler Parker as Jake is moving on to inflicting as much pain on the Hall of Famer as he possibly could! Jake stands above Tyler Parker before getting him by his arms! Oh, I believe that we’re going to be seeing the double wrist clutch and repeated stomps to the head, face, and chest of Tyler! 

Flannery McCoy: ‘CRUSHCRUSHCRUSH!’ OH SHIT, HE BEGINS TO STOMP ON TYLER’S FACE BEFORE MOVING ONTO HIS SKULL! THAT, FOR SURE, IS GOING TO ADD MORE INSULT TO INJURY! YOU CAN SEE THAT TYLER IS TRYING TO MOVE TO THE SIDE AS JAKE BEGINS TO OPEN THE WOULD THAT TYLER OPENED WHEN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD LANDED ON THE CEMENT. TYLER IS DOWN AND JAKE SEES IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO FOR THE COVER! 

OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Jake Mercer: THE HALL OF FAMER GETS A SHOULDER UP! That is only going to frustrate my name twin even more! He begins to elbow the forehead of Tyler Parker, trying to keep him down even more! Now, Jake Smith is getting Tyler up and it seems like he’s going to go for the ‘505’ — the leg-hooked patella brainbuster connects on Tyler! Jake with another cover! Is this going to be the three count! 

OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Stew-O: TYLER PARKER WITH A KICK OUT! Jake Smith gets Tyler by his arm and proceeds to connect with some short-armed clotheslines! I think that Jake is just trying to use anything in his arsenal to keep the former World Champion down! But, with someone like Tyler, it’s difficult to keep him down! He will give it everything he has before even thinking about lying down for the three count! Jake picks up Tyler to his feet before picking him up and connecting with a wheelbarrow suplex! Tyler falls back! He’s clutching the back of his head again as Jake seems to be LOVING the sight of Tyler Parker bleeding! Tyler is trying to get himself up! What he needs to do is get himself in this match-up! We are still seeing some strength of Tyler trying to get himself to his feet, but Jake Smith stops him with a giant boot to the face as Tyler falls back to one of the corners! At least, he was able to shift his body, so that he landed in one of the corners! 

Flannery McCoy: Jake Smith rushes towards Tyler Parker at the corner before connecting with a flying forearm! Tyler stumbles forward into a superkick by the former PURE Champion! Tyler falls back into that same corner as Jake stands himself on the top turnbuckle, looking above Tyler in the process! Jake begins to throw some punches to the top of Tyler’s head! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN! TYLER BEGINS TO HOIST JAKE UP IN THE AIR IN A POWERBOMB POSITION, BUT JAKE MANAGES TO GET HIMSELF INTO THE CORRECT POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A POISONRANA ON TYLER! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT HE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH ANOTHER ‘505’ AS HE GOES FOR THE COVER AGAIN! 

OOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!

Jake Mercer: GOD DAMMNIT! TYLER PARKER KICKS OUT AGAIN! WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO PUT HIM DOWN! MY NAME TWIN SLAMS HIS FISTS IN FRUSTRATION! YOU CAN SEE THAT FRUSTRATION BUILDING IN HIM BEING LET OUT! HE BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON SOME PUNCHES ON THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION BEFORE PICKING HIM UP ONCE AGAIN! HE GETS TYLER ON HIS SHOULDERS! ‘BOMB VALLEY DRIVER’, HIS VARIATION OF THE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! THE MOVE CONNECTS AS JAKE RACES FOR THE COVER! HE HOOKS BOTH THE LEGS OF TYLER PARKER!

OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!

Stew-O: TYLER PARKER KICKS OUT! 

Flannery McCoy: It seems like Jake Smith is going to turn the Hall of Famer onto his stomach and lock in the crossface! Tyler is trying to wiggle himself free, but Jake is covering Tyler’s eyes as he applies the hold! He has the crossface locked in! JAKE HAS THE CROSSFACE LOCKED ON TYLER PARKER, WHO IS TRYING TO DRAG HIS BODY TO THE NEAREST SET OF ROPES, WHICH ARE TWO HIS SIDE, BUT JAKE HAS THE SUBMISSION MOVE LOCKED IN? IS TYLER GOING TO SUBMIT HERE?!?!

Jake Mercer: Come on, Tyler! Just submit here! There’s no shame in losing to someone as great as Jacob Ryan Smith! 

Stew-O: You really used the man’s actual name? :mjlol:

Jake Mercer: I may have needed to Google that. :lupe: If you were to ask me what Jake had for breakfast on Tuesday earlier this week, I would have been able to tell you that he had an Egg McMuffin from McDonald’s and a grande Starbucks black Starbucks, but I wouldn’t have been able to tell you his nickname.

Flannery McCoy: You are a strange, strange man.

Jake Mercer: I do extensive research.

Stew-O: ANYWAY, the referee is beginning to ask Tyler Parker if he wants to submit here, but Tyler is shaking his head no! He knows that he’s able to get himself out of this move, but just needs to find his open! Tyler has his hand as he begins to claw away the grasp that Jake Smith has on him! But, Jake is not releasing! He has the move locked in REAL good!

Flannery McCoy: TYLER PARKER MANAGES TO COUNTER AS HE CONNECTS WITH A CRUCIFIX PIN ON JAKE SMITH!!!!!!

OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Jake Mercer: Jake Smith manages to get himself back into position with the crossface! But, Tyler Parker manages to get his foot on the bottom rope! The referee is pointing at Tyler’s foot on the bottom rope, trying to inform my name twin of what’s going on!

Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! RELEASE THE HOLD, JAKE!

Stew-O: Jake Smith releases the hold as Tyler Parker gets closer to the ropes. The two men have a bit of separation between the two of them as Jake goes to get Tyler up to his feet! Jake tugs Tyler by his arm as that gets him back to his feet! Tyler throws a punch at the former PURE Champion! JAKE KICKS TYLER IN THE RIBS, SENDING HIM TO ONE KNEE! HE TAKES A COUPLE OF STEPS BACK BEFORE HITTING TYLER WITH A SHINING WIZARD, BUT TYLER DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY AS JAKE STUMBLES FORWARD, BUT TYLER ROLLS UP JAKE! IS TYLER GOING TO STEAL A VICTORY HERE?

OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!

Flannery McCoy: Jake Smith rolls himself back to his feet as Tyler Parker gets to his feet as well! Jake charges towards Tyler, BUT TYLER PULLS JAKE IN FOR A MODIFIED REVERSE STO! HE ROLLS JAKE ONTO HIS BACK AS HE GOES FOR THE COVER! 

OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!

TTTTTTT–

Jake Mercer: MY NAME TWIN LIVES! Tyler Parker looks at a down Jake Smith and wonders what he is going to need to do next! Honestly, when it comes to putting down someone like Jake Smith it’s going to take a whole lot to get the job done! But, Tyler seems to get Jake Smith to his feet and he’s going for a straight jacket DDT! 

Stew-O: No! Jake Smith gets a spring of energy and turns himself around before nailing Tyler Parker with an enziguri! He stumbles to his side as Jake follows that up with a shining wizard that takes Tyler down! Now, Jake gets Tyler up and gets him by the arms before whipping him towards the corner! Tyler falls back to the corner as Jake charges towards the Hall of Famer before connecting with a knee strike! This drops Tyler down to one knee, but it seems like Jake is trying to get himself on a seating position on the top turnbuckle! Tyler is trying to get to him, but Jake kicks him away! He gets Tyler in position —

Flannery McCoy: ‘HELL ABOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ THE FLIP PILEDRIVER, BUT FROM THE TOP ROPE!!!!!! HE GOES FOR THE COVER ON TYLER PARKER! THIS THIS GOING TO BE IT!!!!!!

OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

TTTTTTTT–

Jake Mercer: HOW DID HE KICK OUT? :noah:

Stew-O: I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT TYLER PARKER REFUSES TO DIE IN THIS MATCH! JAKE SMITH CANNOT BELIEVE THAT TYLER KICKED OUT OF ‘HELL ABOVE!’

Flannery McCoy: He is picking up Tyler Parker! It seems like Jake Smith is keen on ending this match! He picks up Tyler, lifting him up with the impaler DDT! Jake Smith calls that ‘ULTIMA!’

Jake Mercer: TYLER PARKER SHOVES JAKE SMITH AWAY BEFORE HE COULD CONNECT WITH ‘ULTIMA!’ HE SPRINGBOARDS FROM THE ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ‘BLACK CHAPTER!’ THE SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE KICK! THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET AS TYLER PARKER IS LOOKING TO WRAP THINGS UP IN THIS MATCH! HE GETS JAKE IN THE SAME MOVE THAT HE CONNECTED WITH ON THE LAST DYNASTY OF SEASON 14 — ‘PROPHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ 

Stew-O: THE ROLLING CUTTER DOES NOT CONNECT AS JAKE SMITH TWISTS HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY! HE NAILS A FOREARM TO THE FACE OF THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION! HE PULLS TYLER IN BEFORE GETTING HIM IN POSITION FOR A BELLY-TO-BACK SUPLEX AND HE FLIPS THAT TO A SPIKED DDT! ‘NIGHTFALL’ CONNECTS AS TYLER PARKER IS SPIKED ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! BUT, JAKE DOESN’T SEEM TO BE DONE HERE! HE GETS TYLER AGAIN BEFORE ‘ULTIMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ THE IMPALER DDT CONNECTS!!!!! JAKE HOOKS THE LEGS!!!!!

OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!

TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Stop Breathing” blasts through the speakers as Jake Smith rolls off of Tyler Parker. Jake is completely exhausted as he finds himself on his knees.)

Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…JAKE SMITH!!!!!!!!

Flannery McCoy: Jake Smith picks up a victory over Tyler Parker in the biggest stage of them all at Pain for Pride. Honestly, I thought after the kick in between the legs earlier in this match, it would lead to one dirty tactic that Jake would use to put away the Hall of Famer, but I was glad that this ended without any sort of controversy at all.

Jake Mercer: HE DID THAT ALL ON HIS OWN, FLANN!!!! GIVE JAKE SMITH THE CREDIT THAT HE DESERVES!!!! HE JUST PUT AWAY A MAN WITH A PRETTY IMPRESSIVE RESUME!!!!!

Stew-O: As for Tyler Parker, he still has what it takes to perform under these bright Pain for Pride lights. He would have loved to have exposed Jake Smith of being nothing and all that jazz, but just look at his face right now…

(The scene pans to Tyler Parker picking himself up on his feet. He is still sporting the blood on the back of his head, but he shakes his head at Jake Smith, almost like a sign of being impressed by what he saw. These two had had their issues for several weeks, but both recognize the talent the other possesses. Yeah, there were some tactics that were questionable, but he says nothing and exits the ring, allowing for Jake to soak at the moment.)

Flannery McCoy: That was interesting to see.

Jake Mercer: Real recognizes real, Flannery. :wow:

(The camera pans to the crowd in the SoFi Stadium applauding Tyler Parker and his efforts as he takes a bow before heading towards the back. The crowd is totally waiting to see if Tyler will return, but we’ll see. Never say never. The last shot is of Jake Smith celebrating in the ring as the scene fades elsewhere.) 

(The scene fades to the backstage area of Pain for Pride, notably the locker room of the EAW World Champion, Malcolm Jones. The EAW Championship sits on a glass coffee table as Malcolm paces just in front of it, looking down on it, but he’s not alone, as sitting on a couch just on the other side is his girlfriend, Keisha, who’s watching on intently. There’s an understandable look of concern on her face – Malcolm’s career, after all, is on the line tonight and the idea of him losing is something that won’t just affect him but her as well. There’s a silence among the two of them, and just as Malcolm raises his head and finds her staring at him, she speaks up first.)

Keisha Brown: I’m telling you, Malcolm, I still don’t like this.

Malcolm Jones: Are you still on this? I thought I told you already that I could do this.

Keisha Brown: And I’m not saying you can’t come on top. But let’s face the facts: this isn’t an ideal situation for either of you. You got Drake to accept your conditions and his whole weird-ass group is something that means a lot to him – you saw what that woman was about to do to me until you told them I was pregnant, and I’m supposed to sit back and think they won’t jump to extremes again just to make sure that they can stay together?

(Keisha is apprehensive about all this, and rightfully so. She had been dragged into this situation, and from the look on Malcolm’s face when it was going down and even now, it’s clearly something that he never wanted for her. But this isn’t what he’s trying to hear the night of a match as important as this, and he shakes his head, looking to Keisha.)

Malcolm Jones: So, what are you trying to say now? That, what, you don’t believe in me or something?

Keisha Brown: That’s not what I’m saying at all, Malcolm. I’ve believed in you every step of the way. You’ve accomplished so much and became something bigger than anyone could’ve ever anticipated, and for so long now, I’ve cheered you on knowing that you’re gonna go down as one of the best ever. I know you could beat Drake on any day of the damn week, but I just don’t trust anything about this.

(Malcolm’s hardened expression remains for a moment before it finally gives away, softening as he understands that Keisha’s just looking out for him and only wanting the best for him out of this situation. It’s true that it’ll be a match that’s sure to be close and just as much, if not more, demanding than any of the others that either him or Drake have ever been a part of. The reigning champion comes around the table and gently sits himself down beside Keisha, who takes his hands into her own where she rests them on her thigh.)

Keisha Brown: You’re not really gonna tell me I’m wrong for being concerned, are you? You’ve been under pressure a lot in your career, I know that and so does everyone else watching, but this is something else entirely. This is your career we’re talking about being on the line.

Malcolm Jones: And I understand that, I get where you’re coming from. All you can do is watch, all you can do is wait to see what happens, and I know you’re hoping for the best – I know if I was in your position, I’d probably be doing the same thing. You didn’t ask to be a part of any of this and they know they crossed a line bringing you into this how they did – wanting to fuck with EAW was one thing but going after you just because of me was something they’re gonna learn is something they shouldn’t have done. I know you’re concerned, but trust me, all of this is gonna work out how it’s supposed to.

Keisha Brown: But what if it doesn’t? What if it doesn’t work out for you? For us? Because really, Malcolm, this isn’t just about you anymore, not even just me. Malcolm, our baby…

(The expression on Keisha’s face can’t stress that enough before she lowers her head, looking down, and Malcolm could see it in her eyes, hear it in her voice that she’s honestly worried. It’s easy for him to sit there and reassure her as the one competing, but she’s not the one getting into the ring, instead left to watch on. Helpless. Keisha raises her head up, getting to her feet and Malcolm follows after her.)

Keisha Brown: It just never occurred to me that something like this could happen, or even be a possibility. All that mess with Veena and Charlie that I watched you deal with before, I knew you weren’t gonna be gone for long and that everyone would have a whole lot of hell on their hands trying to deal with you. But this….

Malcolm Jones: Look, you might’ve not thought of it as a possibility, but keep that same energy for this match. Me losing to Drake? It’s not gonna happen, it’s not a possibility. After all this shit, no way in hell am I gonna give some delusional asshole Drake King the satisfaction of saying that he ended my career. I’ve been through a lot – I’ve had people think they could just end my career at the snap of a finger, people have tried to threaten my success, they’ve tried to get one over on me at every chance they could, but look at where I’m at now.

(Malcolm bends over to grab the EAW World Championship from off the table in front of them, and he picks it up as a way to remind Keisha that after all he had to go through just to get back to where he wanted to be, that he accomplished that. The journey had come with its twists and turns, but he had prevailed in the end.)

Malcolm Jones: But this isn’t about just some championship, I know it’s bigger than that. What I’m saying is, is that I’m right where I need to be – in a position to show exactly why I wasn’t the one to try to take things as far as they did with, that I’m not the one that Drake is gonna get to say that he put the nail in to bring this all to its end. I agreed to the stipulation but I’m still gonna go out on my terms, and when I do, I’m gonna need you right there with me at my side.

Keisha Brown: And I’m on your side now, Malcolm, telling you now that you this isn’t gonna be like anything you’ve had to go out and do before.

Malcolm Jones: But when have I ever let you down before, hm?

(Malcolm raises an eyebrow, just the slightest bit of a reassured smile appearing on the corner of his lips as he looks down at Keisha, who goes silent for a moment as she looks down trying to think.)

Keisha Brown: Well, never.

Malcolm Jones: Exactly, so stop all this worrying. Every time I’ve been out there, every time I’ve had to perform and achieve my goals, you came away from those moments knowing that you’re with one of the greatest. Out there in the ring, I’m in the zone and I’m damn near unstoppable when it comes to having to compete at the greatest heights, getting everyone talking about what I’m doing, getting everyone to know that I’m on a level that so many around here aren’t ever gonna see for themselves. I’ve done it in a shorter amount of time than some people could ever think of for themselves. I came in here and changed the game, changed the vibe, changed the culture of this whole damn industry – and I’m sure that under all that concern, you gotta know that I’m gonna be the one to go and fuck Drake’s whole life up.

Malcolm Jones: I told you before and I’ll tell you again: A bozo like Drake isn’t gonna be the one to say he ended this for me. I’ve come too far, accomplished too much for it to end at his hands and I’m promising you that.

(Even with her head still down, Keisha can be heard letting out a small laugh, and she shakes her head not understanding how Malcolm could seem to be so calm, confident, and collected in their conversation about something so crucial. But it brings a smaller, wider smile to Malcolm’s face, knowing that she knows he’s right.)

Malcolm Jones: I’ve got a lot on the line, I know, but it’s gonna mean a whole lot more in the end when you’re watching it happen and knowing that I was right in the end, just watch. You’re gonna be asking yourself why you ever even thought to be worried in the first place when you see what happens to that bitch when I get my hands on him. It’s over for Drake when this gets going. He’s gonna realize he isn’t shit compared to me, that he wasn’t ever gonna get what he wanted out of this situation, and that for as much as he was looking forward to this shit, he’s gonna regret it all. Trust me. I’m the one getting the last laugh, I’m the one coming out on top, and after something like this is all over and I’m doing exactly as I said I would, you’re gonna know that you won’t ever have to worry again.

(Keisha raises her head, a smile slowly growing on her face.)

Keisha Brown: I believe in you, Malcolm. I’ve got faith in you to get this done. If there’s anyone who could ever pull through for us, for everything we’ve got, I know it’s you.

(Keisha wraps her arms around Malcolm in a firm hug, and Malcolm blindly sets the title down on the couch before he gets his arms around Keisha to embrace her back as he knows that she’s not just talking about the two of them, but the family that the two of them look to start together. Through reassurance and confidence, Malcolm’s seemingly put Keisha’s nerves about everything at ease for now, and while the two of them stand there in silence hugging each other, it’s all the comforting that Keisha needs right now. From there, the scene fades.)

(The camera cuts to the next match graphic.)

( DING! DING! DING! )

Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FOLLOWING IS THE ANNUAL CASH IN THE VAULT LADDER MATCH! The objective is to climb the ladder and unhook the briefcase suspended over the ring. Win this, and you will be guaranteed an opportunity at any world 

championship of your choosing at any given time! 

( ‘Howl of the Departed’ by Nobuo Uematsu echoes throughout the SoFi Stadium. It is followed by a rainfall of boos as Limmy Monaghan confidently strides onto the entranceway. He poses on the stage and soaks in the negative reaction before making his way down the ramp. On his way down, he slows down at every ladder and inspects it with a smirk on his face. )

Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! From Beverly Hills, California, weighing in at 224 pounds.. “GROUND ZERO’, LIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMY MONAGHANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!

Stew-O: Here we are nearly about to go underway with yet another Cash In The Vault match and I am unfortunately joined ringside by Persephone and Gavin Kirkland. As to no one’s surprise, this is one of the highly-anticipated matches leading into the Pain For Pride weekend every year and we get to see all of it culminate in violence in its purest forms! For the past two years, we have seen two women walk out victorious. Tonight, we have a few familiar faces from the year before, with a huge chance that a male may walk out with the briefcase. Constance Blevins remains to be a wildcard factor coming into this match, so she is to not be underestimated. But, the self-proclaimed Death King who walks down that aisle is not to be underestimated as well. Limmy Monaghan has the victorious Donovan Duke and Jake Smith looking from the back, hoping that he makes this weekend a success for the stable. However, if he plans on getting one step closer to the world championship, his hands are full with his opponent tonight.

Gavin Kirkland: Especially when Limmy Monaghan is doing double duty tonight.

Persephone: Double duty? This has luckily been the only time he has been on television this weekend.

Gavin Kirkland: What? Didn’t he face Jack Ripley yesterday?

Persephone: I don’t think so.. Last year’s Cash In The Vault, one of my phones was broken here at ringside. Due to that, my Rexy Sexy pictures were destroyed in the process, so if any of these people break them, I will have no other choice but to break them :ufdup: 

( After Limmy Monaghan does his gun pose in the center of the ring, he circles into his designated corner and his theme song comes to an end. “Forgotten” by Avril Lavigne begins to play. A mixed reaction is echoed throughout the venue by audience members as it prompts Constance Blevins to jerk the curtain and make her presence known on the stage. She stands under the spotlight, looks up, and smiles at the beautiful view from the stage before making her way down the ramp. )

Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENTS!! FIRST! From Baltimore, Maryland, weighing in at 120 pounds.. SHE IS THE FORGOTTEN, CONSTANCEEEEEEEEEEEEE BLEVINSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Heading into this match as one of the most successful, being a former EAW Specialist Champion and Tag Team Champion after all, Constance Blevins looks to add another notch under the belt via the Cash In The Vault ladder match. If she comes out of this match, it will be the third consecutive year in a row that a woman is afforded the Cash In The Vault opportunities. She looks more ready than ever. Her thighs look like juicy peaches on a Summer afternoon  from this angle and that oatmeal derriere? I certainly haven’t forgotten about them.

Stew-O: Not going to lie, you had me in the first half and then you ended your praise with that :will:

Persephone: I wouldn’t say that about Constance. Compared to Rexy Sexy? Her thighs and booty don’t even compare! 

Stew-O: Constance Blevins has been weirdly silent throughout the week thus far. This has introduced a feeling of uncertainty for the state of Blevins’ mindset going into this match. Everyone, including her opponents is curious on what she plans on bringing to the table, so when we say she is the wildcard, she might be. While she has always been recognized to be calm and composed, when tensions rise and that pressure point is applied, people with her mindset are bound to show their dark side, and we may see a glimpse of that tonight. 

( After Constance Blevins climbs off the top turnbuckle, she momentarily stares right into Limmy Monaghan before her theme song is overlapped with the remix of “Smoke And Drive” by Machine Gun Kelly. With the EAW audience endearing the former EAW Interwire Champion, his appearance is responded with an ear-shattering pop. With a blunt in his mouth, he takes a hit on center stage, before raising it up and hyping up the audience in attendance. )

Bella Braxton: From Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 225 pounds… He is the “XTREME CLASSIC”, JUSTINNNNNNNNNN WINDGATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Justin Windgate is one of the first competitors who has a second chance at the Cash In The Vault opportunity. Last year, he was at the brink of unhooking that briefcase in the closing moments, but he came up short. If we really want to get specific, Windgate was unable to unhook that briefcase by a huge mistake that he has surely been bothered by ever since. It was down to Justin Windgate and Darcy May Morgan where both competitors had it in fingertips’ reach. Windgate ducked Morgan’s signature punch, but Morgan ended up connecting her fist with the briefcase, which sent the briefcase right into the musher of the drug addict. This caused Windgate to crash into a ladder, and with a second window of opportunity opened up for him, Windgate looks to rectify that mistake and get that prize.

Stew-O: It is not like Justin Windgate has been dry up until this point. He held the EAW Interwire Championship before dropping it to Ronan Malosi at Under Siege and he had a great showing at the Grand Rampage. Windgate has made it established that he has his eyes on specifically world championship gold and winning this briefcase will be the perfect gateway to the upper echelons!

( After Windgate slides into the ring and confronts the current competitors inside the ring, “Enemy Strike” by Yuki Hayashi blasts through the speakers. In no hurry, Myles moseys down the aisle in lackadaisical fashion. He has no intentions on interacting with the fans as he chooses to stare right at his opponents quarterway down the ramp. )

Bella Braxton: From Melbourne, Australia, weighing in at 210 pounds.. “THE WARLORD”, MYLESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Stew-O: For someone as talented as Myles, you would be surprised that the self-proclaimed Warlord of Elite Answers Wrestling has yet to get a taste of that sweet nectar world championship gold. Earlier in the season, he reaped the benefits of what it was like through the EAW National Elite Championship. Tonight, he has an opportunity to use that prior experience, unhook that briefcase, and convert this victory into a world championship reign at any time of his choosing. 

Gavin Kirkland: You are absolutely right! Myles is one of the best rising stars that this company has ever seen. He has the mental acumen, star-studded charisma, incomparable in-ring presence, and most importantly of them all, one of the most unbelievable sets of tiddies I have ever seen in my eyes? Trust me, I have been everywhere at this point in my life. The changing rooms at Empire, retirement homes, and even the male locker rooms before I was banned, and Myles may be one of the best ever! 

Persephone: Myles’ National Elite Championship reign was a joke! Rex McAllister should’ve walked out at King Of Elite as the champion, but Myles made sure it didn’t happen. Ever since that happened, all of that karma has caught up to him. He lost it to that mexican street vendor motherfucker, ate literal shit at Grand Rampage, and now he is about to hopefully fall off one of these ladders and into his death in the next couple of minutes. :blessed:!! It could not get any better than this!

( Myles is seen beginning to push over the ladders before he slides into the ring. He confidently strolls around the squared circle and smirks at all of the competitors in the ring. Constance Blevins looks at Myles with disgust, while Myles looks back at her with a cocky smile. The referee stands in between them to prevent any altercation from happening pre-match. Myles walks past Limmy Monaghan and Justin Windgate, and sits in the bottom turnbuckle as all four competitors await for the rest of the competitive field. )

( “Red Eye” by NBA Youngboy blares through the P.A system as Jon Kelton steps to the scene with a fully-determined look on his face. His eyes wander through the stadium before it stops right at the center of the ring. He stands on the stage, basks in the atmosphere and stomps his way down to the squared circle with authority. )

Bella Braxton: From Dallas, Texas, weighing in at 210 pounds.. HE IS “THE CHOSEN ONE”, JONNNNNNNNNN KELTONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!

Stew-O: Even though he planted his flag into the Elite Answers Wrestling landscape more than a decade ago, Jon Kelton is walking into this match with the most to prove. He walked out of last year’s Pain For Pride with the 24/7 contract, a contract that he lost to one of his opponents tonight, Justin Widngate. Ever since then, Kelton has come up empty throughout the season and he sees this match as an opportunity to get himself on the right track.

Persephone: Why do you have to make him sound okay? He is not walking into this match with the most to prove. He is walking into this match as the least accomplished here! When was the last time someone ever gave a shit about Jon Kelton? Not a single person in this stadium could care about what Jon Kelton has to bring to the table!

Gavin Kirkland: That is kind of harsh. But all of that beautiful black chocolate thunder could make a huge difference in this match. You do know that Jon Kelton was the last man standing in the clusterfuck that was the 24/7 Battle Royale last year, so he knows what it is like to compete under these kinds of conditions. 

( Jon Kelton shakes his head as he walks past the knocked down ladders from earlier. He walks up the steel steps, steps through the ropes, and immediately goes to one side of the ring to prepare. )

( “XXX” by Kendrick Lamar begins to play. An ear-splitting mixed reaction reverberates throughout the SoFi Stadium as Andre Walker powerfully marches onto the stage with Albert Hitchman, and another short individual. )

Bella Braxton: AND! Accompanied to the ring by Alb-

Albert Hitchman: SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Bella Braxton: :picard:

( Albert Hitchman interrupts Bella Braxton as he stands in front of Hasbullah Magomedov and Andre Walker on the stage. )

Albert Hitchman: Ladies and gentlemen! It is Hasbullah Magomedov, and I’s honour. Well..  It is my PRIVILEGE to present to you.. HAILING FROM THE UNFORGIVING JUNGLES OF NAMU’A, SAMOA.. WEIGHING AT 230 POUNDS… HE IS THE LONGEST REIGNING EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION.. THE KAISER CHIEF.. THE SAMOAN GOD BUTCHER.. AND THE NEXT MISTER CASH IN THE VAULT RECIPIENT…….. ANDREEEEEEEE WALKERRRRRRRRR!!

( Half of the SoFi Stadium showers him with boos, while the greater half cheers him on. Andre Walker nods at Hasbullah and Albert before all three synchronously march down to the ring as a three-man unit. All the other five competitors impatiently wait for his arrival, but Andre Walker is intentionally taking his time to play mind games. )

Gavin Kirkland: What the hell is that Hasbullah midget doing here?

Stew-O: Well, I don’t think anyone expected for Hasbullah to join the Kaiser Chief in the next chapter of his career, but here he is in living colour! I don’t think his opponents understand why he is here in the first place. Neither do I, but oh well! Andre Walker has a huge chip on his shoulder walking into this match and here is why. As he recently broke a glass ceiling by marking himself as the longest EAW New Breed Champion in history, you would expect that he would continue to make history by defending that championship at the same show he couldn’t win the same championship at. However, he respectfully vacated the EAW New Breed Championship and immediately set his sights on world championship gold via the Cash In The Vault ladder matc-

Persephone: AND YOU KNOW WHO THAT VACATED TITLE WENT TO?? RYAN WILSON!! SHOOT ME IN THE FUCKING HEAD!!! ONE OF YOU!! DO YOU HAVE A PISTOL ON YOU??

Gavin Kirkland: I have one, but it’s a different type of gun :mjlit:

Persephone: :comeagain: !!!

( Albert Hitchman sets up station behind a ringpost while Hasbullah waddles over and takes a seat on top of the announce table. )

Gavin Kirkland: What the fuck? Why is he sitting in front of us? Not like he blocks our sight anyways, but who even allowed this?

Persephone: SECURITY!! WE HAVE A LOST CHILD HERE AT RINGSIDE:

Hasbullah: *pulls out a water NERF gun and shoots it at Persephone’s chest*

Persephone: ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THIS SHIRT COST THOUSANDS!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Clearly, Hasbullah is not to be messed with. Let’s just not mess around with him !!!!

Stew-O: As I was saying..  Andre Walker is marching into this match with a huge reputation to uphold. He vacated his championship to squeeze himself into this ladder match, and it is a must win scenario for him. There is no better way to cap off a season with a victory over Mr. DEDEDE and a record-breaking championship reign than to get yourself an easy pass to a world championship match at any time of your choosing. Andre Walker has made his shot, and it is up to him that he delivers on his promises here tonight.

( After silently murmuring to himself on the steel steps, he looks up and steps through the ropes. He has yet to acknowledge any of his opponents as he walks past them and stands proudly in the center of the ring. He looks up and makes his way to one side of the ring. The referee signals for the bell. ) 

( DING! DING! DING! )

Stew-O: MYLES STORMS OUT OF HIS DESIGNATED CORNER, LEAPS INTO ANDRE WALKER AND CONNECTS RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW WITH HIS DEADLY KNEE STRIKE!! WALKER GETS DEVASTATED FROM RIGHT OUT OF THE GATES AS HE MOMENTARILY FALTERS THROUGH THE ROPES AND SPLATTERS ONTO THE RINGSIDE!! A LOOK OF ANXIETY OVERCOMES THE FACE OF HITCHMAN AND HASBULLAH AS ANDRE WALKER IS ALREADY DOWN IN THE CASH IN THE VAULT LADDER MATCH!! EVERYONE BEGINS TO FIGHT AS MYLES STEPS THROUGH THE ROPES AND FOCUSES HIS FULL ATTENTION ONTO THE KAISER CHIEF!

Persephone: Myles has a lot of bones to pick in this match, especially Andre Walker! Hopefully, one of these idiots unhook the briefcase in the next five seconds so we can get this horrible weekend done and over with. Myles picks up the scraps from the bewildered Andre Walker here at ringside. Constance Blevins and Justin Windgate brawl in one corner of the ring, and Limmy Monaghan and Jon Kelton exchange a variety of strikes on the opposite ends. Can someone get Hasbullah off our table? He is doing snow angels on it for christ sakes!

Gavin Kirkland: He has a damn loaded gun on him! Don’t speak on the little G.O.A.T like that! Here we go with the in-ring action as Blevins has the upper hand and stomps Windgate down in the corner. Limmy Monaghan leans Kelton up against the ropes, and throws him away as Kelton comes off the ropes! Monaghan goes for a kitchen sink knee, Kelton was one step ahead and catches his knee. Kelton tries to apply torque with the dragon twist on the leg! Monaghan simply steps over and blocks the dragon twist! Kelton is confused as Monaghan pulls him and Irish whips him back up into the ropes! KELTON COMES OFF THE ROPES! MONAGHAN CHOREOGRAPHS A BACK BODY DROP!! AND KELTON GOES FLYING FIVE FEET INTO THE AIR AND COMES CRASHING DOWN UGLY WITH THE BACK BODY DROP COURTESY OF THE KU KLUX KLAN GOD!

Stew-O: After a minute or two of pressing Andre Walker’s head up against the LED apron with his foot, Myles finally lets go and pulls him up to his feet. Myles grabs his head, looks right at Albert Hitchman, and slams Walker’s head across the top of the steel steps! Justin Windgate nails Blevins in the ring with a dropkick before kipping up to his feet and throwing her into the ropes. Walker is being overwhelmed right out the gates here on day three as Myles now grabs him by the tights! AND HE THROWS HIM SHOULDER-FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS!! MYLES SHOWING DOMINANCE EARLY INTO THIS MATCH AS CONSTANCE BLEVINS COMES THROUGH THE ROPES!! AND INCOMING GOES BLEVINS WHERE SHE NAILS THE AUSTRALIAN WARLORD WITH A WRECKING BALL DROPKICK FROM OUTTA NOWHERE!

Persephone: Justin Windgate intended on receiving Constance Blevins off that Irish whip, but Blevins adapted and sent Myles to the gulag with that devastating baseball slide dropkick! Rexy Sexy pulls off that dropkick way more efficiently! Blevins, nonetheless, can’t believe that she was able to make that type of adaptation. Windgate slides under the bottom rope, circles the ringpost and sneaks up from behind! He turns Blevins around! AND CLOCKS WINDGATE WITH A PUNCH TO THE FACE!! Windgate pulls her up once more and CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER HEAVY KNUCKLE SANDWICH RIGHT TO THE SIDE OF THE FACE!

Gavin Kirkland: Windgate slams Constance Blevins’ shoulder first into the ringpost and pulls her back into his clutches. He grabs her arm, turns her around and whips her into the ladder set up in the corner barricade! BUT CONSTANCE BLEVINS TURNS IT AROUND AND WINDGATE GOES CRASHING INTO THE LADDER!

Persephone: WINDGATE SAVES HIMSELF BY STEPPING UP THE LADDER PARKOUR-STYLE AND FLIPS OVER BLEVINS’ HEAD ONTO HIS FEET!! AN INNOVATIVE COUNTER BY THE DRUG ADDICT AS CONSTANCE DID NOT SEE THAT COMING! Constance is up against the ladder whereas Windgate charges into her! CONSTANCE LEANS DOWN AND PICKS WINDGATE UP!! WINDGATE USES THE LADDER TO SPRING HIS UPPER BODY DOWN AND GRAB CONSTANCE’S HEAD IN THE PROCESS!!! AND HE DRILLS CONSTANCE WITH A DDT ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!

Gavin Kirkland: We return to the ring where Limmy Monaghan continues to dominate Jon Kelton! Kelton has endured three consecutive suplexes and Monaghan looks to complete a quadruple combination! Monaghan gets him up to his feet! He throws the arm over, hooks the tights, and hoists him up into a suplex!

Stew-O: KELTON DRIVES HIS KNEES DOWN ONTO THE VULNERABLE CROWN OF LIMMY MONAGHAN!! Monaghan grabs the top of his head in pain after being forced to relinquish the hold as Kelton now comes off the ropes! HE JUMPS UP FOR A CROSSBODY!! LIMMY GETS FLATTENED, BUT HE ABSORBS THE IMPACT, HOLDS ONTO “THE CHOSEN ONE’ AND DEADLIFTS HIM ONTO HIS FEET!! THE POWER OF LIMMY MONAGHAN AS HE LIFTS HIM UP!! AND SENDS HIM OVER WITH A FALLAWAY SLAM!! HE KIPS UP TO HIS FEET AS HE SEES KELTON WINDING UP TO HIS FEET ALREADY!! Kelton gingerly emerges to his feet after the beautiful fallaway slam and elects on charging right into Monaghan! Monaghan merely steps to the side, Kelton runs right into the ropes and rebounds off! AND MONAGHAN RECEIVES HIM OFF THE REBOUND AND DROPS HIM RIGHT ONTO THE GERMAN SUPLEX!! AND HE SENDS HIM EXPLODING OUT OF THE RING WITH A PICTURE-PERFECT DROPKICK RIGHT ON THE BUTTON!

Persephone: The off-brand Theron Nikolas slides into the center of the ring and emerges up to his feet! The crowd hypes him up as he now runs the ropes! HE JUMPS INTO THE AIR, TAKES FLIGHT, AND LOOKS TO FLATTEN JON KELTON AT RINGSIDE WITH THE SIGNATURE TOPE CON HILO!!

Gavin Kirkland: JUSTIN WINDGATE INTERCEPTS THE TOPE CON HILO ON THE APRON WITH A KICK IN MID-AIR!! Limmy Monaghan was aiming to go through with that Tope Con Hilo, but Windgate had different plans as he ran up on the apron and intercepted the missile strike with a nasty kick to the side of the head. As a result of that, Limmy Monaghan landed ugly onto the edge of the hardest part of the ring. Monaghan and Kelton are now recuperating on the ringside floor together. Windgate momentarily has a moment of respite on the apron. Myles grabs Andre Walker again and throws him into the announce table beside Hasbullah. He looks right into the midget’s eyes before focusing his attention on Constance Blevins!

Persephone: Windgate now ascends the turnbuckles! AND HE FLIPS OVER WITH A CORKSCREW MOONSAULT OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, LEVELLING THE BODIES OF MONAGHAN AND KELTON AS HE CAME DOWN!! Shaggy quickly gets up to his feet after the somewhat smooth corkscrew moonsault and is quick to feel the effects of it. Myles grabs Blevins and hooks over the arm. Both competitors are right in front of the steel steps. MYLES HOISTS HER UP INTO A SUPINE POSITION!! OH NO!! A BRAINBUSTER ONTO THE STEEL STEPS! PLEASE DO IT!

Stew-O: Constance Blevins uses the height elevation to her advantage by hovering over his shoulders! Myles turns around and tries to sweep the foundation from beneath her. Blevins hops over his arms, stomps onto his fingers, and kicks him right in the face! The kick has Myles stumbling towards the announce table and Blevins connects with a penalty kick across the apron to Justin Windgate! Blevins is in a safe position now, but she looks to go high-risk as he jumps onto the top turnbuckle! IS BLEVINS GOING TO ADD MORE CHAOS TO THIS WITH AN AERIAL DIVE OF HER OWN OF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! HERE WE GO!! AIRRRRRRRRRRRRRR BLEVINS!!

Persephone: MYLES JUMPS ONTO THE APRON, SPRINTS ACROSS AND NAILS HER RIGHT ON THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE WITH A PERFECTLY-PLACED ROPE-ASSISTED ENZIGURI!! BLEVINS IS STUNNED ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WHILE THE REST OF THE COMPETITION BELOW IS USING EACH OTHER TO GET UP ON THEIR FEET!! Andre Walker is still stunned by the attack.

Gavin Kirkland: Myles grabs Constance Blevins by the head and uses it to pull her away from the top turnbuckle. The Australian shrimp on the barb has her hanging by the feet onto the top turnbuckle! MYLES DROPS HER ONTO THE APRON WITH A ROPE-HUNG DDT!! SHE DRILLS HER ONTO THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING ONTO THE TOP OF HER HEAD WITH AN INSANE DDT!! THAT HAS TO BE IT FOR CONSTANCE BLEVINS AND THIS MATCH HAS JUST STARTED!

Persephone: What an incredibly stupid move! While Blevins went head-first into the hardest part of the ring, Myles also drove his back into it at the same time too! What a world-class moron! Nonetheless, Myles climbs back up onto the apron, holding his lower back in pain from that DDT and begins to climb the turnbuckles. Myles is up on the top turnbuckle! I think he is going to go for a moonsault of his own! EVERYONE MOVE OUT OF THE WAY SO HE KILLS HIMSELF!!! YESSIR!!

Gavin Kirkland: KAISER’S TOUCH!!! AND MYLES LOSES FOOTING AND GOES CRASHING DOWN ONTO EVERYONE AT RINGSIDE!! The Samoan Doggy avenges the earlier beating by climbing onto the apron and nailing Myles on the top turnbuckle with his deadly superman punch! Everyone in this match all fell down to the floor! Andre Walker sits on the apron with a smile on his face as he nods at Hasbullah. The Jake Smith-sized human being responds to him with some advice!

Hasbullah:

Persephone: Excuse me? What did he just do! Andre Walker smiles at his response as he now circles the steel steps. HE RUNS ACROSS RINGSIDE, JUMPS ONTO THE APRON, AND DRILLS JUSTIN WINDGATE WITH THE DRIVE-BY DROPKICK, BUT IT WAS A TWO-FOR-ONE SPECIAL AS WINDGATE BUMPED HEADS WITH CONSTANCE BLEVINS!! Andre Walker quickly gets back to stepping as he jumps onto the steel steps! HE LEAPS AND NAILS MYLES WITH ANOTHER KAISER’S TOUCH THAT SENDS HIM CRASHING INTO THE BARRICADE!! A SECOND SUPERMAN PUNCH TO MYLES AS HE GETS TO RUNNING AGAIN!! WHAT KIND OF DRUGS IS THIS GUY ON!!

Gavin Kirkland: AND HE RUNS AROUND THE RING TO HIT A DRIVE-BY-KICK THAT SENDS JON KELTON HEAD-FIRST INTO THE SIDE OF THE LED RINGPOST!! ANDRE WALKER IS ON FIRE IN THIS MATCH SO FAR AS HE GETS OFF THE APRON AND FOLDS A LADDER UP AT RINGSIDE!! Andre Walker looks to be the first to attempt a briefcase retrieval as he slides it beneath the bottom rope. He enters the squared circle and properly positions it in the center of the ring! THIS COULD BE THE ENDING!

Persephone: YESSIR!! HE UNHOOKS THE BRIEFCASE ALREAD-

Stew-O: Before Andre Walker could even get his foot on the most bottom rung, Justin Windgate nails him with a kick to the stomach. The sheer force of that kind drives the air out of his chest as it has Walker reeling into the ropes. Windgate knows that he must do more to take the Kaiser down! He runs into the ropes, rebounds, and jumps up for a yakuza kick! Walker grabs his foot in mid-air, and uses it to flip him over! WINDGATE USES THE MOMENTUM TO LAND ON HIS FEET LIKE A CAT!! AND HE NAILS WALKER RIGHT ON THE BUTTON WITH A STEP-UP ENZIGURI!! 

Persephone: OKAY!! NOW WINDGATE, DO YOUR DAMN JOB AND UNHOOK THE BRIEFCASE!! WINDGATE NOW GETS HIS FEET ON THE RUNG AND GETS HALFWAY UP THE LADDER!

Gavin Kirkland: You can unhook my briefcase :limpwrist:

Stew-O: ????!! ANDRE WALKERS REFUSES TO LET HIM WIN AS HE BREAKS HIS LEFT LEG IN HALF WITH A CHOP BLOCK ON THE LADDER!! Windgate lets out a scream of pain as Walker just fucked up his left ankle! Windgate has one foot hung over one of the rings halfway up the ladder as Walker looks to take advantage of this situation. He makes sures that he gets Windgate fully dangling from the ladder before moving the ladder closer towards the ropes. He grabs the upper body of Windgate and places him under the top rope! This is a unique situation he has the former EAW Interwire Champion in!

Persephone: If only my little T-Rex could tie me up in this position. :pleading_face: Andre Walker has Justin Windgate’s whole body wedged between the ladder and the ropes as he has a smile on his face! Everyone else in this match is recovering from the flurry of drive-bys while Walker is just torturing Windgate! He presses down on the neck and legs to bend him in a weird position! AND HE JUST BEGINS TO DRILL DOWN PALM STRIKES INTO THE LOWER CHEST OF JUSTIN WINDGATE!! HE CONTINUES TO POUND HIS CHEST BEFORE HE STOPS AND RUNS INTO THE ROPES!

Stew-O: ANDRE WALKER REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND DRILLS HIS KNEE INTO THE BACK OF JUSTIN WINDGATE!! THE IMPACT OF THE KNEE GETS WINDGATE OUT OF THE WEDGED POSITION AND KNOCKS DOWN THE LADDER!! WINDGATE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING IN INCOMPARABLE PAIN AS WALKER FIXES THE LADDER AND BEGINS TO CLIMB RUNG-BY-RUNG!! THIS COULD BE IT!!

Persephone: HERE COMES LIMMY MONAGHAN AS HE DRIVES THE END OF A NEW LADDER INTO THE LEG OF WALKER!! Walker is stopped in his tracks on the way to the ladder and Monaghan leans the ladder up against the turnbuckles. Walker quickly gets retribution and punches Monaghan right beneath the jaw. Monaghan reels into the ladder as Walker rebounds off the ropes! I BELIEVE WALKER IS AIMING TO SPEAR MONAGHAN THROUGH THE NEWLY-INTRODUCED LADDER!!

Stew-O: JON KELTON WITH A DISCUS KNEE STRIKE FROM OUTTA NOWHERE TO ANDRE WALKER!! WALKER GOES FALLING INTO THE TURNBUCKLES AS HE TURNS AROUND!! AND GETS SPIKED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH A SLING BLADE COURTESY OF INSURGENCY’S LIMMY MONAGHAN!! Monaghan hastily emerges to his feet to climb the ladder, but JUSTIN WINDGATE ROLLS THROUGH THE ROPES!! I AM SURPRISED HE IS STILL ALIVE FROM THAT MAIMING FROM WALKER EARLIER AS HE ROLLS UP TO HIS FEET!! AND PLANTS HIM ONTO HIS FACE WITH A SIT-OUT FACEBUSTER!! WHAT A MANEUVER!!

Persephone: NO!! LIME MONAGHAN COUNTERS IT AS HE CAUGHT WINDGATE AND HOLDS HIM UP IN MID-AIR!! AND DROPS HIM INTO A SUPLEX DOUBLE KNEE GUTBUSTER!! WINDGATE HOLDS THE SIDE OF HIS RIBS IN AGONY AS HE ROLLS OFF BENEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE!! Limmy Monaghan with a great counter to Windgate as he centers the ladder and begins to ascend it. All you have to do is climb the ladder and unhook it! It isn’t that hard so please, do something successful in your life you damn moron!

Stew-O: LIMMY MONAGHAN MIGHT HAVE THIS IN THE BA- NO!! CONSTANCE BLEVINS WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE LOWER BACK!! Monaghan is momentarily stunned halfway up the ladder whereas Constance Blevins retrieves the ladder up against the corner and sets it up beside Monaghan’s ladder. She begins to climb the side adjacent to Monaghan. The race to the briefcase right now as Blevins is trying to beat the Death King to the punch!

Persephone: MONAGHAN JUMPS OFF THE LADDER, GRABS BLEVINS AND DRIVES HER OFF HER LADDER AND INTO THE CANVAS WITH AN AVALANCHE SLING BLADE!! HIGH-RISK-BUT-STUPID MANEUVER FROM MONAGHAN AS HE GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET!

Gavin Kirkland: MYLES UNVEILS A STEP STOOL INTO THE BACK OF MONAGHAN!! THIS IS THE SAME STEP STOOL THAT MYLES USED LAST YEAR AND HERE HE IS USING IT ON MONAGHAN!! HE PICKS BACK UP THE STEP STOOL AND SMASHES IT INTO THE BACK OF CONSTANCE BLEVINS!! HE SEES WALKER IN THE CORNER AND CHUCKS IT RIGHT AT HIS FACE!! Myles with a dastardly look on his face as he goes to the ladder! Instead of climbing it, he grabs the ladders and throws it out of the ring! 

Persephone: Is this guy stupid? Why is he throwing the ladders out of the ring  HE NEEDS THOSE TO WIN!

Myles: (off-mic) FUCK YOUR LADDERS!! 

Gavin Kirkland: It has been established that Myles is here to ensure that no one else capitalizes on what he says is a nonsensical opportunity that entertains one’s greed. He is here to carry out the justice of New Eden and throwing out the ladders is to ensure that no one wins this match for the time being! New Eden displayed similar mindsets at King Of Elite and Grand Rampage, so this should come as to no one’s surprise. Myles grabs the step stool and continues to use it as a weapon of destruction! He sends Constance Blevins through the ropes with a step stool to the face! AND HE SENDS KELTON OFF THE APRON WITH IT AS WELL!!

Stew-O: I am bewildered by the fact that the step stool is still intact after being used so many times! Myles sets down the step stool in the center of the ring and sits on it. Everyone else in this match is down-and-out, scattered throughout ringside and the parameters of the squared circle. Myles chills on the stool in the midst of pandemonium!

( While Myles continues to calmly sit on his step stool, the camera shows an angle of Limmy Monaghan emerging up to his feet directly behind Myles. He holds his hand behind his back as the crowd pops to what he holds. )

Stew-O: LIMMY MONAGHAN IS HOLDING THAT BARBED WIRE BROOM IN HIS LEFT HAND!! MYLES REALIZES THIS AND GETS UP!! HE THROWS THE STEP STOOL AT LIMMY, BUT IT MISSES AND CRASHES AGAINST THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES!! LIMMY MONAGHAN WITH A HUMONGOUS SMILE PLANTED ON HIS FACE AS MYLES HAS A LOOK OF ANXIETY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS MATCH!! MONAGHAN CHARGES INTO HIM WITH THE BROOM!

Gavin Kirkland: MONAGHAN MISSES THE FIRST SWING AS MYLES ROLLED DOWN!! MYLES ROLLS BACKWARDS AND EVADES THE SECOND SWING!! Limmy Monaghan swings for the legs, but Myles jumps up and rolls onto his feet to circumvent the broom! Myles has had an answer for every swing thus far as he ducks another attempt! He shoots onto the second rope and leaps over onto Insurgency’s Monaghan with a SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT!!!!!!

Persephone: YES!! MYLES EATS SHIT AS MONAGHAN DROVE THE BROOM WRAPPED WITH BARBED WIRE INTO HIS FACE IN MID-AIR!! A BEAUTIFUL COUNTER, SO NOW GET THE LADDER AND CLIMB BACK UP!! 

Gavin Kirkland: Monaghan does not have any plans of climbing up the ladder anytime soon as he targets Andre Walker! Monaghan uses the broom handle to choke Walker out before jumping up with both knees. He has Walker trapped with the broom handle and DRILLS HIM IN THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH A DOUBLE-KNEE BACKSTABBER!! WALKER ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AND MONAGHAN IS BACK ON THE ATTACK ON MYLES!! Monaghan sits down on the stool in one corner and grabs Myles. He Irish whip Myles into the opposite corner!

Persephone: THE AUSTRALIAN BITCH FACE SLIDES SAFELY INTO THE CORNER!! MONAGHAN TRIES TO CORRECT HIS MISTAKE, BUT MYLES BUSTS OUT OF THE CORNER WITH A FLUSH SUPERKICK RIGHT TO THE JAW!! Limmy Monaghan is stunned as he falters into the corner with the step stool!

( The superkick stuns Limmy Monaghan to the point where he reels into the corner and unintentionally sits down onto the step stool. )

Gavin Kirkland: Limmy Monaghan is laid out on the step stool as Myles comes charging in like a mack truck from his corner! MYLES JUMPS ONTO MONAGHAN WITH BOTH KNEES!! AND HE LOOKS TO DECIMATE MONAGHAN WITH A MONKEY FLIP WHILE HE IS ON THE STEP STOOL. 

( Miraculously, Monaghan flips over with the step stool and lands safely. He is still in the seated position as he was beforehand. )

Stew-O: WHAT THE? MYLES HAD INTENTIONS TO SEND MONAGHAN FLYING WITH THE MONKEY FLIP, BUT MONAGHAN HELD ONTO THE STEP STOOL, AND THE STEP STOOL LANDED PERFECTLY, MAKING MONAGHAN UNFAZED BY THE MONKEY FLIP!! MYLES CAN’T BELIEVE AS HE QUICKLY CHARGES INTO MONAGHAN!! AND DRILLS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A KNEE STRIKE!!

Persephone: I don’t know how something like that would happen, but Monaghan was quickly devastated with that knee strike! Monaghan is out like a light as Myles picks him up to his feet. Myles grabs him by the side! AND HE HOISTS HIM UP FOR A URANAGE ONTO THE STEP STOOL!! BUT MONAGHAN COUNTERS IT AND SPINS HIM AROUND!! HE HOISTS MYLES UP!! AND DRIVES HIM DOWN ONTO THE STEP STOOL WITH A HIGH-ANGLE SPINNING URANAGE!! THE STOOL IS BROKEN IN HALF AND MYLES IS NOW ELIMINATED OUT OF THE EQUATION FOR NOW AS HE GETS OUT OF THE RING!

Stew-O: JON KELTON SNEAKS UP FROM BEHIND AND PUTS MONAGHAN UP IN THE SLEEPER HOLD!! MONAGHAN WITH A STANDING SWITCH AND PUTS KELTON IN THE SLEEPER HOLD INSTEAD!! KELTON GRABS THE ROPES AND PULLS ON IT TO SEND MONAGHAN THROUGH THE ROPES AND INTO RINGSIDE!! Monaghan now climbs onto the apr-

Persephone: ANDRE WALKER WITH THE DRIVE-BY DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!! LIMMY MONAGHAN GOT CLOCKED WITH THAT DROPKICK AND KELTON TAKES ADVANTAGE AND KICKS WALKER IN THE HEAD THROUGH THE ROPES!! Andre Walker and Monaghan are out on the ringside floor as Kelton turns his attention to what is happening inside of the ring. Justin Windgate brings two ladders into the ring and drives one of them into the midsection of Kelton. 

Stew-O: Windgate leans the other ladder against the ropes while he sets one of the ladders down. He grabs Kelton from behind and holds him up! HE HAS HIM IN THE INVERTED FRONT FACE POSITION!! AND HE TWISTS HIM OVER! CLASSIC ENDING ONTO THE LADDER!!

Gavin Kirkland: KELTON SHRUGS HIM AWAY AND CONNECTS WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!! KELTON KICKS THE LADDER ON THE GROUND AWAY AND CHARGES INTO WINDGATE!! KELTON ATTEMPTS THE SPINNING HEEL KICK!! WINDGATE WITH A CARTWHEEL EVASION AND CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING GAMENGIRI KICK!

Persephone: The impact of the kick sends Kelton down onto both knees. Windgate gets up to his feet and stands in front of Kelton with his back turnt. What is the drug addict thinking here? HE BACKFLIPS OVER, GRABS KELTON BY THE WAIST AND DEADLIFTS HIM UP!! AND DROPS HIM WITH A RELEASE DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX!! 

Stew-O: ABSOLUTE INSANE POWER ON DISPLAY BY JUSTIN WINDGATE AS HE IMMEDIATELY KIPS-UP TO HIS FEET AND PROPS UP THE LADDER IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!! WINDGATE IS ON HIS WAY TO RIGHTING THE WRONG FROM A YEAR AGO AND ESTABLISHING HIMSELF AS MR. CASH IN THE VAULT!! ALL HE HAS TO DO IS CLIMB THOSE FEW MORE RUNGS AND GET HIS HANDS ON THAT BRIEFCASE!

Persephone: BUT HERE COMES MYLES!! MYLES GRABS THE BOTTOM OF THE LADDER AND USES IT TO TIP THE LADDER OVER!! JUSTIN WINDGATE IS SCRAMBLING ON TOP OF THE LADDER AS HE JUMPS OFF THE LADDER!! MYLES WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE, BUT WINDGATE USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO JUMP ONTO THE TOP ROPE!! WINDGATE MOONSAULTS OVER AND HAS MYLES IN THE INVERTED FRONT FACE LOCK!! AND HE SPINS HIM OVER WITH THE CLASSIC ENDING!! CLASSING ENDING SPIKES MYLES ONTO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! THAT IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU TRY TO STOP FROM THIS MATCH ENDING, YOU FUCKING CUNTY CUNT!!

Stew-O: Justin Windgate perfectly centers the ladder in the center of the ring and retrieves the second ladder. He wedges the ladder in between the ladder and the ropes. He retrieves another ladder and does the same style on the other side of the ladder. Myles remains to be thunderstruck from the rolling cutter moments ago and Windgate is simply trying to finish him. Windgate pulls on his hand, and MYLES GOES FACE-FIRST INTO THE LADDER!! MYLES ROLLS OUT OF THE RING COVERING HIS FACE AS WINDGATE NOW BEGINS TO CLIMB THE LADDER!

Persephone: JUSTIN WINDGATE UNHOOKS THE BRIEFCASE! DING! DING! DING!

Stew-O: NOPE!! LIMMY MONAGHAN JUMPS FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND LEAPS ONTO THE BRIDGED LADDER TO CLIMB UPWARDS!! JUSTIN WINDGATE SCRAMBLING TO ACTUALLY UNHOOK THE BRIEFCASE, BUT THE NERVES MAKES HIS HAND SLIP AS MONAGHAN GETS UP TO HIS LEVEL!! Both competitors now exchange strikes on the top of the ladder. Monaghan with a right! Windgate with a left! RIGHT! LEFT!! RIGHT LEFT!! MONAGHAN GRABS WINDGATE’S HEAD AND BANGS IT AGAINST THE TOP OF THE LADDER!!

Gavin Kirkland: What is this now? Monaghan turns Windgate around by the head on top of the ladder! Is he going for an avalanche neckbreaker off the ladder! NO!! MONAGHAN LETS GO AND CLOCKS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH AN ELBOW!

Persephone: NO!! WINDGATE DUCKS IT AND NAILS MONAGHAN WITH A HEADBUTT!! HEADBUTT RIGHT ON THE BUTTON AS LIMMY MONAGHAN IS ON THE VERGE OF COLLAPSING!! Justin Windgate holds onto him to keep him onto the ladder. He isn’t done with him yet as pulls further up the ladder and begins to slide down his shoulders! OH NO!!

Stew-O: A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB ONTO THE BRIDGED LADDER!!

Gavin Kirkland: NO!! MONAGHAN MANAGES TO COUNTER THE SUNSET FLIP BY TRAPPING WINDGATE INTO A GORY HOLD!! WHAT A COUNTER AS MONAGHAN GRABS BOTH OF HIS SHOULDERS AND STRETCH IT IN INWARDS!! LOOK AT THAT!! THE BODY IS NOT MEANT TO BE MANIPULATED LIKE THAT!! MONAGHAN IS JUST APPLYING TORQUE ON TOP OF THE LADDER WITH THE GORY STRETCH!!

Persephone: CONSTANCE BLEVINS INSERTS HERSELF BACK INTO THE RING. MONAGHAN SEES HER AND DROPS WINDGATE OFF THE LADDE-

Gavin Kirkland: BLEVINS TRIES TO CATCH WINDGATE, BUT WINDGATE ADAPTS IN MID-AIR AND DRILLS HER WITH A DDT!! OH MY GOD!! MONAGHAN JUST LOOKED AT WHAT HAPPENED BELOW HIM WITH PURE DISBELIEF AS HE QUICKLY CLIMBS UP THE LADDER BEFORE WINDGATE NOTICES HIM!! MONAGHAN COULD WIN THIS ONE IF WINDGATE DOES NOT GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET!

Stew-O: WINDGATE LEAPS ONTO THE BRIDGED LADDER AND QUICKLY MAKES HIS WAY UP THE LADDER!! MONAGHAN WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET HIS HANDS ON THE BRIEFCASE, BUT WINDGATE IS HERE TO STOP HIM! WINDGATE OVERWHELMS HIM WITH A RAINFALL OF PUNCHES ON THE TOP OF THE LADDER!! WINDGATE HAS HIM IN THE PERFECT POSITION BEFORE HE DRIVES WINDGATE’S HEAD INTO THE TOP OF THE LADDER!

Gavin Kirkland: WINDGATE GRABS LIMMY MONAGHAN BY THE HEAD!! AND HE MOVES UPWARDS!! RUNNNNNNNNNNN IT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!

Persephone: THE SHIRANUI CUTTER INTO THE LADDER!! THE SIT-OUT RUN IT UP SHIRANUI CUTTER THROUGH THE BRIDGED LADDER AS JUSTIN WINDGATE AND LIMMY MONAGHAN JUST PUT THEMSELVES THROUGH IT!! WHAT A STUPID MOVE AS BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN-AND-OUT IN THE LADDER!! MONAGHAN AND WINDGATE GOTTA BE DEAD!

Gavin Kirkland: JUSTIN WINDGATE WITH RUN IT UP THROUGH THE BRIDGED LADDER AND THAT HAS TO BE IT FOR MONAGHAN AND WINDGATE!!

( Myles slides back into the ring and looks at the unconscious Limmy Monaghan and Justin Windgate. He picks up Monaghan’s barbed wire broom. )

Gavin Kirkland: Myles looking down at the barbed wire broom with a smirk on his face. Monaghan and Justin have yet to move an inch as referees check up on them! MYLES LIFTS UP THE BROOM AND BREAKS THE HANDLE IN HALF WITH HIS KNEE!! WOW!! THE POWER OF SUPERTIDDIES ON DISPLAY RIGHT HERE!! IMAGINE IF HE WOULD KNEE MY BACK LIKE THAT!

( After Myles breaks his broom in half, Andre Walker emerges from behind. )

Stew-O: OH YES!! This is the stand-off that I was waiting for! Walker and Myles see eye-to-eye before they charge into each other! They just begin to wild onto each other with punches and jabs. Myles begins to overpower him with punches before Walker pushes him into the ropes! MYLES JUMPS UP FOR THE KNEE!! WALKER DUCKS IT AND COMES OFF THE ROPES!! WALKER JUMPS UP AND GOES FOR KAISER’S TOUCH!!

Gavin Kirkland: KAISER’S TOUCH THESE NUTS AS IT DOES NOT CONNECT!! MYLES ROLLED INTO THE GROUND TO AVOID THE SUPERMAN PUNCH AS BOTH COMPETITORS CHARGE INTO EACH OTHER!! MYLES CONNECTS WITH A YAKUZA KICK!! ANDRE IS SWAYING SIDE TO SIDE, BACK AND FROTH AS MYLES PULLS HIM AND GOES FOR DE FACTO!! DE FACTO!! BUT ANDRE HOVERS OVER HIS SHOULDERS AND LANDS ON HIS FEET!! HE TURNS MYLES AROUND! AND JUMPS UP FOR KAISER’S TOUCH!!

Stew-O: KAISER’S TOUCH MISSES AGAIN AS MYLES GRABS HIS ARMS AND SPINS HIM AROUND INTO THE PUMPHANDLE!! AND HE GETS HIM UP FOR DE FACTO!! SECOND TIMES, THE CHARM!! NO!! ANDRE COUNTERS IT IN MID-AIR AND GRABS HIM FOR THUNDERBOLT TEMPO!! SINGLE UNDERHOOK BRAINBUSTER ONTO MYLES!!

Persephone: BUT MYLES FLIPS OVER HIS SHOULDERS AND LANDS ON HIS FEET!! BOTH MEN KNOW EACH OTHER SO WELL THAT THEY HAVE ANSWERED EVERY ONE OF THEIR MOVES THUS FAR!! KAISER’S TOUCH!! MYLES WALKED RIGHT INTO THE KAISER’S TOUCH AS IT SENDS HIM REELING INTO THE LADDER!! The ladder is literally the only reason why Myles is still standing on his feet! Andre Walker runs the ropes and rebounds off to put him down for good! A SECOND KAISER’S TOUC-

Stew-O: MYLES GRABS HIM IN MID-AIR, HOLDS HIM UP, POPS WALKER UP INTO THE AIR.. AND NAILS HIM WITH THE KNEE STRIKE AS HE CAME DOWN!! THE POP-UP KNEE STRIKE HE CALLS THE KANGAROO KILLER CONNECTS ON ANDRE WALKER, BUT ANDRE IS STILL STANDING ON HIS FEET!! WALKER DOESN’T KNOW WHAT CITY HE IN AS HE REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES!

Gavin Kirkland: AND ANDRE WALKER RESPONDS WITH HUNGER ON HILLSIDES!! HE SPLITS MYLES IN HALF WITH THE SPEAR!! BOTH MEN TAKE EACH OTHER OUT WITH THEIR FINISHERS AS EVERYONE IN THIS MATCH IS DOWN-AND-OUT!! CONSTANCE IS STILL FEELING THE EFFECTS FROM THOSE DDTS. LIMMY MONAGHAN AND JUSTIN WINDGATE ARE STILL OUT OF THEIR ELEMENT! The only man left standing is essentially Jon Kelton!

Stew-O: Winning the Cash In The Vault briefcase would help drill in the narrative of Kelton being the Chosen One! Kelton slides into the ring and begins to climb the ladder! Kelton is on his way to becoming Mr. Cash In The Vault, but WINDGATE JUMPS ONTO THE BRIDGED LADDER AND INTERCEPTS KELTON’S ATTEMPT!! KELTON BEGINS TO STOMP WINDGATE DOWN TO WEAKEN HIS GRIP ON THE RUNGS! KELTON IS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE AND WINDGATE HAS NO INTENTIONS ON LETTING HIS FELLOW ROSTER MEMBER SECURE THIS BAG ON HIS WATCH!

Gavin Kirkland: WINDGATE GETS CLOCKED IN THE JAW WITH A KNEE STRIKE!! Windgate is about to fall off the ladder, but Kelton picks him up and has him in the tombstone position! Windgate is in deep, deep trouble right now as Kelton has him upside down in that tombstone! WHAT IS HE THINKING!! 

Persephone: JON KELTON JUMPS OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER AND DRIVES WINDGATE INTO THE BRIDGED LADDER WITH A TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!

Stew-O: ……….

Gavin Kirkland: ………

Stew-O: WINDGATE COUNTERS IT IN MID-AIR AND DRIVES KELTON INTO THE LADDER WITH A REVERSE CANADIAN DESTROYER!! AN INVERTED CANADIAN DESTROYER THAT SENT KELTON HEAD-FIRST ONTO THE TOP OF THE LADDER, RENDERING THE LADDER UNUSABLE!! THAT HAS TO BE A FIRST-EVER IN HISTORY!! WINDGATE JUST PULLED OUT THE UNTHINKABLE THROUGH THE CANADIAN DESTROYER! 

Persephone: Both bridged ladders have been split in half as it just remains the one big ladder in the center of the ring! Justin Windgate with two high-risk maneuvers he scratches and claws his way to the bottom of the ladder! Just please! SOMEONE IN THIS MATCH!! FUCKING UNHOOK THE BRIEFCASE!!

Stew-O: OH NO!! LIMMY MONAGHAN PULLS HIM OUT OF THE RING AND CONNECTS WITH THE HOOK THRUST KICK!! SILENT WHISPER CONNECTS ON THE JAW AS HE PICKS HIM UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY!! I AM SURPRISED MONAGHAN IS STILL MOVING FROM THAT RUN IT UP THROUGH THE LADDER!! MONAGHAN LOOKS IT RUN IT UP HIMSELF AND RUNS ACROSS RINGSIDE WITH WINDGATE ON HIS SHOULDERS!! What is the former EAW PURE Champion thinking of doing now!??!

Gavin Kirkland: DEATH VALLEY DRIVER THROUGH ONE OF THE LADDERS AT RINGSIDE!! OH MY GOD!! MURDER AFTER MURDER IN THIS MATCH!! MONAGHAN WITH A DEATH VALLEY DRIVER THAT INSTANTLY BROKE THAT LADDER IN HALF AS WINDGATE HAS GO TO BE OUT FOR GOOD!! MONAGHAN WITH A SMIRK ON HIS FACE AS HE LEAVES WINDGATE IN A SLUMPED POSITION AND SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING!!

Persephone: LIMMY MONAGHAN NOW CENTERS THE LADDER AND BEGINS TO ASCEN-

( However, a non-competitor grabs Limmy’s foot and distracts him. )

Stew-O: ALBERT HITCHMAN HOLDS ONTO MONAGHAN’S FOOT!! THAT MAN JUST TELEPORTED INTO THE RING AS MONAGHAN GETS OFF THE LADDER AND CORNERS ANDRE WALKER’S MANAGER INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!! Limmy Monaghan evidently incensed by this distraction as Albert yells at him to turn around! Monaghan oblviiously turns his body around and sees WALKER JUMPING!!

Gavin Kirkland: KAISER’S TOUCH!! ANOTHER KAISER’S TOUCH THAT SENDS MONAGHAN FALLING THROUGH THE ROPES!! ANDRE NOTICES CONSTANCE GETTING UP TO HER FEET AND JUMPS UP!! AND CLOCKS HER IN THE JAW WITH A SUPERMAN PUNCH!! A SECOND KAISER’S TOUCH AS HE YELLS AT ALBERT HITCHMAN TO GET OUT OF THE RING BEFORE HE CLIMBS THE LADDER!! WE COULD SEE IT!! WE COULD SEE THE DAWNING OF THE SAMOAN ERA!

Persephone: MYLES!! MYLES GRABS WALKER FROM BEHIND AND THROWS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!! OH MY GOD!! MYLES HAS NO INTENTIONS ON CLIMBING THE LADDER AS HE KNOCKS IT OVER ONCE AGAIN!! Myles stands in the center of the ring, takes a deep breath and looks at his surroundings. He sees Andre Walker slowly and angrily emerging to his feet and begins to get to stepping! MYLES RUNS THE ROPES!! AND HE GOES FOR THE TOPE CON HILO!!

Gavin Kirkland: AND ALBERT HITCHMAN STICKS HIS NOSE INTO THIS MATCH ONCE AGAIN!! THE WALRUS LOOKING MOTHERFUCKER GRABS HIS FOOT AND MYLES IS NOW AGGRAVATED MORE THAN EVER!! Myles steps through the ropes and tugs on his collar! Myles threatens to beat him up as this is giving more time for Andre Walker to recover!

Myles: (off-mic) NEVER TOUCH ME AGAIN, YOU HEAR ME? 

Albert Hitchman: (off-mic) PLEASE!! I AM JUST AN ADVOCATE :mjcry: !!!

Myles: (off-mic) GOOD! WE HAVE THIS STRAIGHTENE-

Gavin Kirkland: LANDERSON!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!

( Hasbullah lightly sprays Myles with his water gun. )

‘

Gavin Kirkland: OH LORD!! NOW YOU GOT MYLES WET!! 

Persephone: HASBULLAH JUST SPRAYED MYLES WITH THE WATER GUN AND I DON’T THINK THE AUSTRALIAN BITCH IS THINKING TOO FONDLY OFF IT!!

Stew-O: AND MYLES KICKS HASBULLAH IN THE FACE!! HASBULLAH GETS KNOCKED OFF THE ANNOUNCE TABLE AS MYLES JUST BRUTALIZED THAT MIDGET IN 4K RESOLUTION!! MYLES SHAKES HIS HEAD IN DISAPPOINTMENT BEFORE HE RUNS THE ROPES!!

Persephone: MYLES GOES FOR THE TOP CON HILO!!

Stew-O: ANDRE WALKER CATCHES HIM IN MID-AIR!!! WALKER CATCHES THE TOP CON HILO IN MID-AIR!! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!! ALL THAT TIME THAT HASBULLAH AND ALBERT HITCHMAN SAVED UP IS ALL WORTH IT AS WALKER HAS HIM UP IN A POWERBOMB POSITION!! Andre Walker runs across the ring with him in the powerbomb.

Gavin Kirkland: AND ANDRE THROWS MYLES INTO THE FRONT ROW AUDIENCE WITH THE POWERBOMB!! OH MY GOD!! MYLES JUST GOT MURDERED IN DAYLIGHT!! WALKER ROARS AS HE SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING AND CLIMBS BACK UP THE LADDER!!! ANDRE IS MORE PISSED OFF AND DETERMINED THAN EVER AS HE IS HALFWAY UP THE LADDER!! THERE IS NO WAY ANYONE CAN STOP HIM AS HE CLIMBS THE SAMOAN LADDER TO SUCCESS!

( Limmy Monaghan springboards onto the other side of the ladder. )

Stew-O: THERE IS LIMMY MONAGHAN!! ANDRE WALKER TOOK HIM OUT WITH THAT SUPERMAN PUNCH FROM EARLIER, BUT IT WASN’T ENOUGH TO PUT HIM AWAY!! LIMMY MONAGHAN AND ANDRE WALKER BATTLING IT OUT ON TOP OF THE LADDER AS WE CLOSE IN THIS MATCH!! WHOEVER WINS THIS WILL BE AFFORDED AN OPPORTUNITY THAT WILL SURELY DEFINE THEIR CAREER FOR THE NEAR FUTURE!! LIMMY MONAGHAN IS NOW OVERPOWERING WALKER WITH PUNCHES AND JABS!

Gavin Kirkland: LIMMY MONAGHAN IS OVERPOWERING WALKER!! MONAGHAN WITH PUNCH AFTER PUNCH, AFTER THE OTHER AS ANDRE WALKER IS LOSING FOOTING ON THE LADDER!! MONAGHAN SEES THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE DARK TUNNEL AS ANDRE WALKER HAS BEEN PUSHED DOWN HALFWAY UP THE LADDER!! MONAGHAN MOVES HIS FOCUS ONTO THE BRIEFCASE AS HE GRABS IT!

Persephone: ANDRE WALKER IS OUT OF THE EQUATION AND MONAGHAN FINALLY UNHOOKS THE BRIEFCASE!

Stew-O: THE SAMOAN GOD BUTCHER SAYS OTHERWISE AS HE MOVES UP THE LADDER AND CLOCKS HIM IN THE JAW WITH A PUNCH!! THAT PUNCH HAS THE ICON OF SIN STAGGERED AS ANDRE GRABS MONAGHAN AND PUTS HIM IN THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE GOLD! ANDRE WALKER HAS MONAGHAN TRAPPED IN THE GUILLOTINE! HE APPLIES THE PRESSUR-

Persephone: LIMMY MONAGHAN DIGS HIS FINGERNAILS INTO THE LEFT EYE OF ANDRE WALKER! WALKER SCREAMING IN PAIN AS MONAGHAN GETS HIGHER UP THE LADDER AND HOOKS BOTH OF HIS ARMS.. OH NO!! WHAT IS HE THINKING NOW!! MONAGHAN HAS HIS ARM HOOKED AS WALKER IS TRYING TO RECOVER FROM THE EYE RAKE!! MONAGHAN LIFTS HIM UP AND HOISTS WALKER UP IN THE AIR!! OH NO!! THIS COULD CAUSE AN EARTHQUAKE UP IN HERE!

Gavin Kirkland: SHINIGAMI OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Stew-O: NO!!!! ANDRE WITH THE APPLYING PRESSURE GUILLOTINE CHOKE GOLD BEFORE LIMMY COULD THROW HIM OFF THE LADDER!! ANDRE WALKER HAS IT ON TIGHT ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS LIMMY IS TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT!! LIMMY IS BANGING ON THE LADDER, SCRAMBLING AND TRYING TO REACH FOR SOMETHING TO GRAB ON, BUT ANDRE WALKER IS PUTTING EVERY OUNCE OF ENERGY HE HAS LEFT IN HIM TO TAP HIM OUT!

Persephone: LIMMY MONAGHAN IS FADING!! YES!! GO TO SLEEP SO ANDRE CAN GRAB THE BRIEFCASE, YOU FUCKING IDIOT!! 

Gavin Kirkland: Monaghan’s movements become stagnant as Andre Walker continues to apply the pressure before letting him go. Monaghan slowly collapses off the ladder and onto the ringside floor as that is it for Insurgency’s Limmy Monaghan! Andre Walker puts the man to sleep as he now gingerly makes his way up the ladder! Andre Walker will finally fulfill what he has promised over the past few weeks! He dropped the EAW New Breed Championship for this! This is how you finish a legendary season!

Persephone: MYLES CLIMBS UP THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LADDER!!! AND HE MEETS ANDRE WALKER AT THE TOP!! HOW IN THE WORLD!! WHERE DID MYLES COME FROM!! ANDRE WALKER THREW MYLES INTO THE AUDIENCE A COUPLE OF MOMENTS AGO AND NOW HE IS BACK TO TAKE REVENGE!! WALKER CAN’T BELIEVE IT!! HASBULLAH AND ALBERT HITCHMAN CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT THEY ARE SEEING!! ANDRE WALKER AND MYLES ARE NOW BATTLING IT OUT ON THE TOP OF THE LADDER NOW!

Stew-O: Constance Blevins is down-and-out! Justin Windgate has yet to crawl out of the ladder debris. Limmy Monaghan has passed out. Jon Kelton might have suffered a career-threatening concussion from that piledriver into the ladder. Andre Walker is trying to get Myles into a position where can apply the pressure, but Myles knows what he is dealing with as he moves around on the ladder to evade his strikes. Myles begins to punch the hell out of Walker, but Walker responds with a vicious forearm of his own.

Persephone: ANDRE WALKER CONNECTS WITH A HEADBUTT ONTO THE CROWN OF HIS HEAD!! Myles falls a couple of rungs down as Andre Walker focuses on the briefcase. He climbs further up the ladder and grabs the briefcase! AND HE HAS HIS HANDS ON THE HOOK! AND HE TRIES TO UNHOOK IT BUT MYLES SHOOTS UP THE LADDER AND NAILS HIM WITH A HEADBUTT!! ANDRE WALKER IS NOW STUNNED AS MYLES TRIES TO PUNCH HIM DOWN TO SAFEGUARD THE BRIEFCASE IT SEEMS!

Stew-O: BUT ANDRE WALKER SHOOTS BACK UP THE LADDER AND HEADBUTTS MYLES!! ANDRE WALKER GRABS THE BRIEFCASE AND GETS CLOCKED WITH ANOTHER HEADBUTT!! BOTH INDIVIDUALS TAKE THEIR HANDS OFF THE BRIEFCASE BEFORE THEY BOTH TRY TO GRAB THE BRIEFCASE AT THE SAME TIME!!

( The briefcase is unhooked….)

Persephone: BOTH MEN ARE HOLDING THE BRIEFCASE TOGETHER AS THEY BOTH UNHOOKED IT AT THE SAME TIME!!! MYLES AND ANDRE TRYING TO TUG ON IT!! A TUG OF WAR HERE AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!! WILL MYLES SUCCEED WITH HIS OBJECTIVE IN THE NEW EDEN MISSION OR WILL ANDRE WALKER GET WHAT HE FULFILLED!! ANDRE WALKER PULLS ON THE BRIEFCASE, BUT MYLES PULLS IT INTO HIS DIRECTION HARDER!! WHO WILL WIN THIS ONE!

Stew-O: EVERY PERSON IN THIS ARENA IS STANDING ON THEIR FEET SEEING WHO WILL WIN THIS ONE!! Both competitors stop tugging on and instead try to knock each other! HEADBUTT FROM MYLES!! HEADBUTT FROM ANDRE!! HEADBUTT FROM MYLES!! HEADBUTT FROM ANDRE!! HEADBUTT FROM MYLES!! HEADBUTT FROM ANDRE!! BOTH MEN ARE NOW PEPPERING EACH OTHER WITH RAPID-FIRE HEADBUTTS AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!

Persephone: COME ON!! ONE OF YOU JUST LET GO SO WE CAN GET OVER WITH THIS NIGHT!

Stew-O: HEADBUTT FROM MYLES!!

Persephone: HEADBUTT FROM ANDRE WALKER!

Gavin Kirkland: HEADBUTT FROM TIDDIES-MAN!!! OH MAN, THIS IS TURNING ME ON!!

Persephone: HEADBUTT FROM ANDRE!

Stew-O: They start to decelerate with their headbutts as ANDRE WALKER PUTS EVERYTHING WITHIN HIM IN THAT ONE HEADBUTT!! MYLES IS STARTING TO LOSE GRIP AS ANDRE WALKER IS TRYING TO TUG IT!!

Persephone:  ANDRE WALKER TUGS AT IT AGAIN AND MYLES LETS GO OF THE BRIEFCASE!!

Stew-O: NO!! MYLES HOLDS ONTO THE BRIEFCASE AND RESPONDS WITH A HEADBUTT OF HIS OWN!! ANOTHER HEADBUTT!! BUT ANDRE WALKER WINDS BACK AND HITS THE HEADBUTT!! THEY BOTH CHARGE UP AND REV UP THE ENGINE!! AND THEY BUMP HEADS WITH SIMULTANEOUS HEADBUTTS!!!

Persephone: BOTH MEN HIT EACH OTHER WITH HEADBUTTS AND SPLATTER ONTO THE CANVAS!!

( DING! DING! DING! )

Persephone: WHO WON!?!?!

( The camera shows Andre Walker and Myles laid out on the floor. However, one of them held onto the briefcase and fell with it at the last second. )

( …… )

( …… )

( ….. )

( The camera shows Myles laid out holding the briefcase in his left hand.. ) 

( “Enemy Strike” by YukI Hayashi blasts through the speakers to a huge commotion of boos. Both Andre Walker and Myles have yet to move as medics move in to check in on both of them. Myles gets woken up by the referee, to where he looks at the briefcase over in his left hand with disgust. He gingerly gets up to his feet. )

Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THE 2021 ANNUAL CASH IN THE VAULT LADDER MATCH…. MYLESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!

Stew-O: Myles and Andre Walker headbutted each other at the same time, causing them to lose consciousness and fall off the ladder. However, both of them were holding the briefcase at the same time!! Myles instinctively grabbed the briefcase in mid-air as they both fell to their near deaths, and now we have established our new Cash In The Vault recipient for season fifteen! AND THAT PERSON IS MYLES!

Persephone: Well, at least my phone didn’t get broken. My nude edits of Rex McAllister survive tonight. Why didn’t that match take so long? Damn.

Gavin Kirkland: My ginger goddess wins this one for New Eden and you can tell by the look on his face, he did not mean to hold onto that briefcase. All he was doing was making sure that it would stay away from Andre Walker, and while he did that effectively, he won the Cash In The Vault contract in the process! Constance Blevins ate shit. Limmy Monaghan ate shit. Jon Kelton ate shit. Justin Windgate ate shit. Andre Walker ate shit. Just like his boobies, Myles keeps bouncing his way up to the top of the mountain, and now he is promised a shot at the world championship!

( Soaking in the thunderous boos in the SoFi Stadium, Myles carelessly holds the briefcase as he makes his way up the ramp. Andre Walker, Limmy Monaghan, Jon Kelton, Justin Windgate, and Constance Blevins cough up blood, nurse their injuries, and look on at the victorious Myles with disappointment. ) 

( Commercial break: Ronan Malosi rides around the streets in a Walking Dead promotional video where he kills zombies that he claims “took the vaccine’. At the end, he ends up being distracted by a water bottle and gets devoured by zombies. ) 

(Pain For Pride comes back from commercial break as the backstage area of the SoFi Stadium is seen. The camera is in front of the door to the medical facility as after a while it slowly opens. Limmy Monaghan, hurting like hell, makes his way out of the room after his grueling Cash in The Vault match. He trudges over to a production crate as he takes a seat and groans in pain. Mingled with the exasperation written all over his face, is also disappointment. He promised everyone that he would win and most importantly, he was the only one in Insurgency who didn’t get a victory at Pain For Pride)

???: Hey? You good?

(The crowd begins to boo loudly as Jake Smith makes his way into the frame shaking his head slowly. He expected Insurgency to have a mean streak this week but it was only slightly halted. Following shortly behind him is Donovan Duke who makes his way over to Limmy and tosses him a water bottle. Jake is clearly disappointed, but at the same time he expresses some concern for his brother-in-arms as well)

Jake Smith: Look, before you even say anything, it’s fine. It happens, I can’t really blame you for it when I’ve had my fair share of defeats in big matches as well. It sucks, I know. But in the end the only thing you can do is improve. You had an excellent showing no doubt and there’s a whole other Season in front of you, Insurgency will seize the moment. I got a win over Tyler Parker, and while nobody expected anything different, it is one that’ll have everyone’s attention fixated towards me. Donovan is your new 24/7 Contract holder, and I could not be more proud by the way. No matter how you look at it, Insurgency is on top-

Limmy Monaghan: Shut up.

Jake Smith: :comeagain:

(Limmy stands up from the production crate, over the course of Jake’s speech his anger slowly begins to rise. He’s clearly seething at the moment and it’s for multiple reasons)

Limmy Monaghan: Do you know what they’re going to say to me? I can hear it now Jake, I can hear it. They’re going to start comparing me to EACH OF YOU and say that I’m nothing less than a lackey. I’m SICK of it Jake, I’m tired of appearing to seem like I’m in your shadow. I’m Limmy Monaghan, I am the KING, and the peasants are trying to tell me otherwise because I couldn’t finish the job at Pain For Pride. I don’t want that, I’ve had ENOUGH!

Jake Smith: Don’t say something you’ll regret Limmy…

Donovan Duke: Yeah dude, what’s your deal? We’ve faced losses before and we’ve never been deterred by it in the slightest. We get up and we keep moving, I know that more than anyone else. And I got my payoff in the end, paid in full. It’s not like you’re not going to continue getting opportunities after this, it’s all a matter of dusting yourself off dude.

Limmy Monaghan: That’s easy for both of you to say, yeah real easy. You haven’t been through the same pain that I’ve been through, you can so easily talk down to me in your condescending bitchy tone because you both have Pain For Pride victories under your belt today. YOU ARE NOT GOING THROUGH THE SAME PAIN I’M GOING THROUGH! I’ve got the pain, but where’s the pride?! WHERE’S THE FUCKING PRIDE HUH?! YOU PROMISED ME BETTER! YOU PROMISED DONOVAN BETTER! YOU PROMISED MAXWELL BETTER! ALL OF YOU GOT THAT, BUT WHERE’S MINE?! YOU HAVEN’T KEPT SHIT JAKE! YOU’RE NOTHING MORE THAN A FUCKING FRAUD! IF YOU’RE A LEADER, THEN YOU’RE ONE SHIT LEADER! YOU’RE NOTHING JAKE! YOU’RE NOTHING!

(After Limmy says that, the only thing that’s heard is his deep breaths. The one thing that follows is deafening, and that’s the silence)

Jake Smith: Go.

Limmy Monaghan: What?

Jake Smith: We’re done here, Limmy. If there’s one person that knows you more than anyone else, it’s myself. And I know you want out, and I’m giving you that chance before anything escalates. It was a fun trial, but now the games are over. If you want the success you desire, if you’re going to blame your defeat on me and yell in my face when the only thing I’ve been trying to do is help. Then I’m telling you right now, there is going to be absolutely zero positivity in response from me. Insurgency is more than just a team, we’re family. We’ve stuck together through the hard times and even when people continuously yelled down at us we pushed through it and continued walking down the road together. And if you want to break that bond, so be it. Just know I’m not going to lose sleep over it, but it’s going to tell a lot about the person you are and what you’ve just done. 

Jake Smith: Besides, I’m not giving you a choice anyways. Leave.

(Jake and Limmy stare at one another with blank looks on their faces. Limmy seems to have snapped and has had enough of this conversation. He clenches his hands into fists and closes his eyes as he turns his head away)

Limmy Monaghan: FUCK!

(Limmy turns around and walks off in the other direction, only leaving Jake and Donovan. Donovan looks concerned but has a stern look on his face as he watches his former partner walk away from him)

Donovan Duke: This is it, isn’t it?

Jake Smith: No choice, it’s beyond my control. It’s the best decision for all of you. You’re going to do perfectly fine by yourself Donovan, whatever brand you’re drafted to. You’ve solidified yourself as a future Champion and I have no doubt that you’ll make me proud. You don’t need Insurgency, you never needed me. It’s been fun Donovan, but I think it’s for the better that this happens. So politely, fuck off.

(Donovan nods his head slowly as he looks down at the ground. He looks off in the distance once more before giving a nod to Jake one last time, before turning around and walking off. Jake stares off into the distance for a good moment before turning around and walking out of the scene himself, which is the last shot seen before Pain For Pride transitions to elsewhere)

(The camera fades to the next match graphic.)

(The camera fades to ringside, where Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone in her hand.)

Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!

Bella Braxton: AND IT IS FOR THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!

(The arena goes dark, and the sounds of Gypsy Chants, Symbols and Chimbalon begin to play when suddenly the rift of “Blood, Milk & Sky” by White Zombie plays, echoing when a lone spotlight is shown where Minerva is on the stage, kneeling and licking her lips, looking around wearing her hat and Glasses, carrying her gypsy chain, an orange rose and wearing an intricate black jacket. She slowly looks around with a smile on her face before crawling a little and slowly standing on her two feet placing the rose in her mouth)

Bella Braxton: Introducing the challenger, from Coyote Flats, Texas… SHE IS THE GYPSY MOTH! MINERVAAAAAA!!!

Rich Russillo: The sociopathic gypsy is no stranger to making her grand entrances. She is looking very confident out there.

James Peters: What do you expect? She is a member of the group that is determined to accomplish their mission no matter the sacrifice. Minerva has made it very clear numerous times that she deserves this moment. So many opportunities given to others while Minerva has consistently been one of the top stars in our company. I’m sure she’s locked in to capture some gold for the New Eden tonight.

Persephone: I can’t say I want either of these two to

win to be honest. New Eden as a whole is annoying as hell, and the other option is TLA. The sooner this one ends, the better. 

James Peters: TLA has been a thorn in New Eden’s side pretty much forever, even dating back to TLA’s feud with Drake King before the group was even created. There’s no doubt that this is personal, possibly one of the most personal matches on the show!

(The crowd boos as the New Eden member starts to laugh before looking around wide-eyed and making her way to the ring. She stops and gets close to some of the fans before backing up and licking her lips again. Turning to the ramp-way where she points to the ceiling, her eyes roll to the back of her head, not moving, making the signal of the cross. Minerva starts to sneer before she skips down to the ring and hops on the apron, hanging upside down on the ropes for a moment as the crown continues to boo.) 

Rich Russillo: Let’s not forget she’s facing the man who took the National Elite Championship away from her boyfriend and then retained it against him. This is an issue New Eden must address and what better opportunity than to do it on the biggest stage of ‘em all, Pain for Pride!

(Minerva slowly gets back into the ring and stands in the middle, looking around before walking to the corner and leaning against the turnbuckle in a seated position, taking off her hat and licking her lips with a smirk on her face, waiting for the match to begin, while twirling the rose.)

(Fireworks suddenly go off, and “Ambitionz az a Ridah” by Tupac transitions in as the crowd erupts in cheers for the La Pantera Sexual, who comes out driving a blue customized low-rider with his initials spray-painted on top of the hood. He is also accompanied by two of his Poons and Steroid Dawg sitting in the backseat chained up with one of his poons. TLA has the National Elite Championship around his waist, and he starts hitting his switches inside the whip as the car starts to jump up and down while Minerva watches with a look of disgust.)

Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT… FROM TLAXCALA, MEXICO… HE IS “THE BADDEST HOMBRE ON THE PLANET” AND THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION… T! LLLLLLLL! AAAAAAAA!

James Peters: If you want to talk about grand entrances, TLA is also no stranger as he’s enlightened the crowd with his driving skills.

Rich Russillo: And it looks as he’s not coming down the ring alone, with two of his Poon workers alongside his Steroid Dawg who is carried by one of his girls on a chain. I wonder what this is all about.

James Peters: It’s Pain for Pride season baby! TLA is just flexing like he usually does or maybe he’s just being petty because of Minerva, who has shared her dislike for TLA’s line of his business. Whatever it is, TLA is looking fresh and enthusiastic with that white hat on. 

Persephone: Why does everyone have to have some kinda special entrance? Nobody is topping Rexy’s entrance anyway!

(TLA finally hits the ring with more cheers as he taunts the crowd and looks over at Minerva who hasn’t taken her eyes off him since his entrance.)

(Minerva remains silent while TLA hands his belt to the referee, who holds it up in the air before the bell rings. The camera shows TLA’s poons along with Steroid Dawg standing outside the ring cheering their boss on then the camera comes back inside the ring.)

Rich Russillo: So far in this sequence, TLA has New Eden’s number with victories over the Grand Rampage Winner, Drake King and multiple wins over Myles. Besides retaining his championship, TLA would love to add another New Eden member onto that list. 

(DING! DING! DING!)

James Peters: AND WE’RE UNDERWA— IT LOOKS LIKE MINERVA WASN’T TRYING TO WAIT A SECOND LONGER AS SHE QUICKLY RUSHES TLA WITH A SWARM OF FISTS ALL OVER HIS BODY! TLA IS BLOCKING HIS HEAD FROM THOSE SHOTS FROM MINERVA AS SHE’S TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE EARLY ON IN THIS MATCH CONSIDERING SHE’S THE SMALLER OPPONENT!

Rich Russillo: Minerva backs TLA into the turnbuckle but now TLA pushes Minerva as she flips backwards on the mat! But she quickly comes back with more closed fist punches and you can see TLA’s face starting to turn red as Minerva tries to clothesline TLA! BUT TLA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND MINERVA RUNS RIGHT INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! AND NOW HERE COMES TLA WITH SOME STRIKING COMBOS HIMSELF! MINERVA IS FEELING THOSE SHOTS AS SHE STARTS TO COVER UP NOW!

Persephone: These two are going back and forth as this match pretty much just started, and I….. Couldn’t really care less. These two better not take forever to end this. I already had to sit through enough pointless, long, non-Rexy matches. Not just that, but both Rex AND Veena lost :mjcry:. 

James Peters: TLA swings Minerva to the opposite turnbuckle but look at this! MINERVA CLIMBS UP THE TURNBUCKLE AND CRASHES ONTO TLA WITH A HUGE MOONSAULT! WHAT AN ATHLETIC MANEUVER BY MINERVA! AND NOW TLA IS DOWN!

Rich Russillo: I don’t think I’ve ever seen Minerva perform that move. She’s quick on her feet tonight. There’s no question of the determination she has right now. But it’s not going to be easy to keep the La Pantera Sexual down.

James Peters: Minerva knows what she must do as she grabs TLA and lifts him for scoop slam on the mat! And then a quick cover!

Referee: OOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Referee: TTTTWWWW—

Rich Russillo: TLA KICKS OUT! I guess you can call that early cover as testing the waters to see how much damage that needs to be done to put TLA down and out! Minerva pulls TLA up by his hair then kicks him in the stomach as TLA leans over! SCISSOR KICK BY MINERVA! NO! TLA WAS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! 

James Peters: And TLA with a knee to the face as Minerva’s foot lands on the mat! Minerva’s face smashes into TLA’s knee and she drops onto the mat holding her head! TLA moves towards the turnbuckles! Our National Elite Champion is about to fly onto Minerva while she’s beginning to stand back onto her feet! HERE IT COMES! A MOONSAULT ONTO MINERVA AND TLA LANDS RIGHT ON TOP OF ONE THIRD OF NEW EDEN!

Rich Russillo: TLA stands back onto his feet and taunts for the crowd before going back on offense. Not even attempting a cover on the Gypsy Moth. Not only does TLA understand that she’s a former Universal Women’s Champion, but after what TLA’s been through with New Eden I don’t think he’s ready to stop this beating! TLA grabs Minerva by her hair and swings her into the ropes for a clothesline! AND IT CONNECTS! MINERVA’S HEAD BOUNCES OFF THE MAT WITH THAT HARD CLOTHESLINE! AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE TLA IS SIGNALING FOR A FINISH!

Persephone: :blessed: HURRY UP AND FINISH THE MATCH!!

James Peters: HE’S CLIMBING BACK UP THE TOP TURNBUCKLES FOR A CORKSCREW 360 SENTON! HERE IT COMES AGAIN RICH! BURNO—

Rich Russillo: WAIT JUST A SECOND! MINERVA POPS UP AND GRABS TLA WHILE HE’S ON THE TOP ROPES! SHE IS HOLDING TLA AS SHE IS ON TOP THE TURNBUCKLES WITH HIM TRYING TO SLAM HIM ONTO THE MAT! BUT TLA IS FIGHTING BACK WITH ELBOWS! HE’S NOT HAVING IT! 

Persephone: I really need to stop getting my hopes up :will:. 

James Peters: BUT NOW MINERVA IS BITING TLA’S EAR! TLA IS SCREAMING IN AGONY AS MINERVA HAS HER TEETH LOCKED ONTO HIS EAR! AND MINERVA WITH A SLAM ONTO THE MAT QUICKLY AFTERWARDS!

Rich Russillo: A dirty move by Minerva and I don’t think the referee really caught onto that bite to TLA’s ear. TLA is down on the mat now as Minerva lets off a smirk with the crowd booing her dirty antics. TLA is moving towards the ropes now after that slam as Minerva watches him like prey and her eyes looking devilish, waiting for TLA to lift himself back up and she runs right at him and sends TLA through the ropes with a huge boot! TLA goes flying onto the outside of the ring!

James Peters: The Poons come over to check on TLA while Minerva stands inside the ring waiting for TLA to get back inside! Minerva looks over at TLA’s associates as Steroid Dawg stares at Minerva and starts growling at her!

Rich Russillo: Minerva has a sick smile on her face, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE HAS SOMETHING IN MIND AS TLA IS HELPED BACK UP TO HIS FEET BY THE POONS! MINERVA RUNNING THE ROPES, AND YOU DON’T SEE THIS ONE VERY OFTEN FROM THE GYPSY MOTH!

Rich Russillo: SUICIDE DIVE!!! MINERVA HITS A HUGE SUICIDE DIVE, AND SENDS TLA RIGHT INTO THE POONS THAT WERE HELPING HIM UP!

James Peters: This is starting to get out of hand and Minerva looks amused by the situation! Minerva’s in complete control of this match right now, and I’m sure the rest of New Eden is pleased to see this!

Persephone: I’m not. Why couldn’t this have been something cool? Like a deathmatch, or an amputation match, or anything involving someone dying?

James Peters: Minerva is picking TLA up, BUT TLA STILL HAS FIGHT LEFT IN HIM! TLA HAS SOME FIGHT STILL IN HIM! TLA HIT MINERVA WITH A PUNCH TO THE MIDSECTION, BUT MINERVA QUICKLY STOPS TLA FROM GETTING BACK INTO THIS AS SHE DELIVERS A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION, AND NOW SHE SENDS TLA CRASHING INTO THE RING APRON! One of the poons that weren’t hit too badly from the suicide dive are up, and Minerva has that same smirk on her face!

Rich Russillo: THE DARK! MINERVA JUST SPITTED BLACK MIST INTO THE POONS FACE!! WHAT AN EVIL WOMAN! AND NOW THE POON IS BLINDED BY MINERVA’S TACTICS AND RUNS BACKSTAGE COVERING HER EYES!

James Peters: Such a bully move by Minerva! She starts laughing as TLA is finally able to pull himself back inside the ring, but Minerva looks over at the remaining Poon who stands with Steroid Dawg while he’s chained up! STEROID DAWG IS ACTING REALLY AGGRESSIVE! HE IS TRYING TO PULL HIMSELF OFF THAT CHAIN FROM THE POON WHO IS TRYING TO DETAIN HIM! HOWEVER! STEROID DAWG SUCCEEDS! HE BREAKS LOOSE AND CHARGES AT MINERVA!

Rich Russillo: Minerva quickly runs away and slides back inside the ring as the Steroid Dawg is leaning his paws on the side of the ring! Minerva continues to laugh while the Poon tries to pull Steroid Dawg off the apron and—

James Peters: MINERVA TURNS RIGHT AROUND TO A SWAG SHOT FROM TLA!! HE JUST PIMP SLAPPED THE MIST OUT OF MINERVA’S MOUTH!

TLA: :lick: 

Rich Russillo: Minerva doesn’t look very happy anymore after that slap to her face… Minerva has a very quick temper and TLA knows that as he’s laughing in her face! AND NOW MINERVA WITH A SLAP OF HER OWN BUT TLA DODGES IT AND GRABS HER ARM FOR A CROSSFACE!! TLA HAS MINERVA ON THE MAT LOCKED INTO THE CROSSFACE!!! MINERVA IS REELING AND TRYING TO CLAW HER WAY TO THE ROPES! BUT TLA IS STEADY APPLYING PRESSURE ONTO MINERVA!

Persephone: Why is Steroid Dawg even allowed here anymore? Not that I’m complaining, but it feels like that ugly dog just goes around trying to attack people every few months.

James Peters: Just imagine how big this would be if TLA was able to make Minerva tap out! These people would love to see TLA win no matter what, but I’m sure even TLA would rather make Minerva tap out after everything New Eden put him through! From the looks of things he might actually be on the right track of doing it too! Minerva’s in a lot of trouble right now! Is this it!? Is TLA about to retain!?

Rich Russillo: Minerva’s trying to find her way towards the ropes, BUT TLA PULLS ON THE SUBMISSION EVEN HARDER THAN BEFORE! TLA INSISTS ON TRYING TO GET MINERVA TO TAP OUT HERE! IS TLA ABOUT TO MAKE MINERVA TAP OUT AT THE BIGGEST SHOW OF THE YEAR!? MINERVA’S FLAILING HER FREE ARM AROUND AS WELL AS HER LEGS, TRYING TO FIND ONE OF THE ROPES, BUT CAN SHE GET THEM IN TIME!?

James Peters: YES, SHE CAN!!! MINERVA DOES IT!!! Minerva places her foot on the rope and TLA has no other choice but to break up the hold! TLA doesn’t seem too upset about it though. Instead the Champion is back up to his feet and he grabs Minerva for a body slam onto the mat! BUT MINERVA SLIPS OUT OF TLA’S GRASP AND CHARGES AT THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION FOR A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE!!!

Rich Russillo: BUT TLA DUCKS UNDER IT! PELE KICK! CARTEL KICK!!!!!

James Peters: NO!!! IT DOESN’T CONNECT! MINERVA MANAGED TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, AND NOW SHE RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE ATTEMPTING A HUGE KNEE TO THE SIDE OF TLA’S HEAD! TLA managed to avoid it, BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO STOP HERSELF AND GO AFTER TLA WITH A LARIAT!  

Rich Russillo: TLA DUCKS UNDER THAT TOO THOUGH! TLA NOW WITH A VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT, AND THAT ACTUALLY CONNECTS ONTO MINERVA!!!! THE NEW EDEN MEMBER IS OUT COLD AFTER TAKING THAT HUGE UPPERCUT! MINERVA DROPS AS TLA GOES FOR THE COVER!! TLA IS ABOUT TO RETAIN HIS CHAMPIONSHIP AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!! TLA DEFEATED ALL THREE MEMBERS OF NEW EDEN!!!

Persephone: FINALLY ONE STEP CLOSER TO ME BEING ABLE TO GET OUT OF HERE!!

Referee: OOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Referee: TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Referee: TTTTTHHRRRRRRREEEEE—

James Peters: MINERVA MANAGES TO KICK OUT AT THE LAST SECOND!! TLA thought he had it right there as he’s back on offense! He’s sizing Minerva again as she’s starting to stand up!! TLA NOW CHARGING IN, AND HE GOES FOR THE MEXICAN DESTROYER!!!

Rich Russillo: BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!! MINERVA MANAGED TO LIFT TLA OVER HER WITH A BACK BODY DROP! MINERVA QUICKLY GRABS TLA AS SOON AS HE GETS BACK UP, AND SHE DROPS HIM TO THE MAT WITH A SWINGING NECKBREAKER! MINERVA GOES FOR A COVER OF HER OWN, AND THIS MAY BE IT!

Persephone: DON’T KICK OUT!!

Referee: OOOOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Referee: TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Referee: TTTTT-

Rich Russillo: Kick out by the champion! Minerva has a visible look of frustration, so she kicks TLA in the face as he’s lying on the mat! And now she’s just stomping away at TLA! TLA is able to make it to the ropes, BUT MINERVA DOESN’T STOP! MINERVA CONTINUING TO VICIOUSLY STOMP AWAY AT THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION, AND NOW THE REFEREE IS FORCED TO TRY AND SEPARATE MINERVA FROM TLA!

Referee: (off-mic) I’m warning you. Keep doing that shit and you’re done!

Persephone: These referee’s are way too lenient. Why does she need warnings!? She’s been doing this for years, she knows exactly what she’s doing. DISQUALIFY HER!!

James Peters: The referee moves Minerva backwards from TLA as he’s trying to pull himself up and now Minerva charges again at TLA! BUT SHE MISSES TLA AND BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES- JUST TO TURN AROUND AND GO FOR A DISCUS LARIAT!!!!

Rich Russillo: BUT IT CONNECTS ONTO THE REFEREE INSTEAD AND THE REF IS OUT LIKE A LIGHT! 

James Peters: Minerva is shocked she missed and hit the referee but she turns around and TLA is still up! TLA KICKS MINERVA FOR THE MEXICAN DESTROYER!!! AND IT CONNECTS!!! BUT THE REFEREE IS STILL DOWN!! WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN NOW?!

Persephone: We call off the match and move on :drakelike:.

Rich Russillo: TLA takes a moment to recover then realizes the referee is down and he’s trying to wake him up from that vicious clothesline that Minerva gave him earlier! This match has been extremely physical, and trust me I know exactly why! These two have been waiting to get their hands on each other for a very long time now, and this is their opportunity to do it! This is the end of the season, this is Minerva’s final opportunity to end TLA and TLA’s chance to put down yet another member of New Eden-

James Peters: WAIT A SECOND! SOMEHOW MINERVA RISES UP AND SHE HITS TLA WITH A LOW-BLOW! TLA IS HOLDING HIS GROIN AREA FROM ANOTHER DIRTY MOVE BY MINERVA!

James Peters: And now Minerva stands up and rolls back outside of the ring opposite of Steroid Dawg and the Poon! Minerva goes over to the time-keeping table and grabs gyspy chain she was carrying earlier to the ring. She’s about to cause some damage with that object! But before she can get back inside of the ring, the Poon confronts Minerva!

Rich Russillo: Minerva smiles in her face like she did the other Poon earlier! MINERVA SWINGS THAT CHAIN RIGHT IN THE POON’S FACE!!!

Persephone: :yikes:

James Peters: Now the Poon is bleeding from her forehead! She better be careful because that Steroid Dawg is getting even angrier!! We all know what usually happens when people get Steroid Dawg mad, I don’t think Minerva wants to be a victim of that! Minerva climbs onto the ring apron and TLA is back up!! TLA CHARGES OVER AT MINERVA!! BUT OUT OF THE NOWHERE MINERVA CLOCKS TLA IN THE FACE WITH THAT CHAIN AS HE RUNS UP!! TLA FALLS BACK DOWN!!! 

Rich Russillo: LOOK AT THIS!! STEROID DAWG HAS JUST BIT MINERVA’S FOOT!! HIS TEETH IS DEEP IN MINERVA’S FOOT, HE’S TRYING TO RIP HER OFF THE RING APRON!!! Minerva’s eventually able to kick Steroid Dawg off of her, but the damage might already be done! That was a very nasty bite from Steroid Dawg!

Persephone: See what I mean? It’s actually kinda funny, but I don’t know how this is actually allowed. I swear this is like the third time Steroid Dawg has bitten one of TLA’s opponents now. 

James Peters: Finally, TLA manages to grab Minerva while she’s distracted from Steroid Dawg and he lifts her up in the air on his shoulders then slams her back inside the ring!!! I think TLA has finally had enough as he starts yelling to his Poon and Steroid Dawg!

Rich Russillo: I think he’s telling the Poon to leave as he’s pointing backstage. TLA has the heart of a champion. He doesn’t want any excuses once he retains his championship here tonight! The Poon quickly obliges to TLA’s command and leaves the area as TLA watches them go backstage! 

James Peters: BUT WATCH OUT TLA!!! 

Rich Russillo: THE GYPSY MOTH IS BACK UP WITH THAT CHAIN NOW WRAPPED AROUND HER HAND AND QUICKLY KNOCKS TLA AGAIN!!! Minerva has been ruthless with that chain, AND NOW SHE DROPS IT BEFORE LIFTING TLA UP AND GOING FOR ATLAS FALLS-

Persephone: Which TLA counters :will:. TLA hit Minerva with a knee to the top of the head, AND NOW HE LIFTS HER UP BEFORE DELIVERING A BRAINBUSTER ONTO THE CHAIN :oh:!!! That was actually pretty cool. 

James Peters: Minerva was just dropped with a huge brainbuster onto that chain, but the referee is still down! TLA is being forced to go up to the referee to try and wake him up, and I can’t say I blame the referee for being down right now! Minerva put all her force into that clothesline. These two hate each other, there’s no way we were going to see either of them hold back! People make fun of these referees all the time, but they’re only trained to officiate matches! They’re not trained to go through the same things Minerva and TLA are!

Rich Russillo: TLA is still trying to wake up the referee, MINERVA QUICKLY JUMPS AT TLA FROM BEHIND AND DROPS HIM WITH A HUGE BACKSTABBER! Both competitors are down and Minerva’s holding the top of her head in pain after that brainbuster, but somehow she found a way to stop TLA from capitalizing even if it took her last bit of strength! I can’t imagine the type of pain Minerva’s in right now, so the fact that she’s still fighting through this is insane! 

Persephone: It’s insane that this match is still going on. I don’t really care about what referee’s are trained for or any of that. They’re awful at their jobs. They’re made of paper, and most importantly THEY DON’T COUNT FAST ENOUGH!

James Peters: TLA is trying to use the ropes to pull himself back up to his feet, BUT MINERVA CHARGES IN AND SENDS TLA OUTSIDE OF THE RING WITH A CLOTHESLINE! These two have tons of bruises all over their body thanks to what they’ve done to each other in this match, and it looks like they’re still not done as Minerva rolls outside of the ring! We all know just how personal this match is, and there’s no doubt that these two have delivered tonight! And I’m saying this now, but these two aren’t even done yet!

Rich Russillo: TLA starts to get back up to his feet, AND HE HITS MINERVA WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! MINERVA IS ABLE TO RESPOND WITH A FOREARM THOUGH, AND THERE’S ANOTHER HUGE FOREARM, CAUSING TLA TO STUMBLE TO HIS KNEE! Minerva is kicking TLA while he’s down as he moves into the middle of the ramp! AND NOW MINERVA WITH A SNAP POWERSLAM AND TLA’S BACK CRACKS ONTO THE RAMP!!

James Peters: Minerva is showing absolute dominance right now! She’s not letting up at all… I think we might have a new champion tonight if TLA doesn’t try something soon. But now look at the look on Minerva’s face again which has been the story of the night! We all know that New Eden wants to get rid of TLA, and with the referee down she’s been given the opportunity to do whatever she wants! What else is this woman thinking right now? She has a huge grin on her face as she looks up the ramp at TLA’s low-rider!

Rich Russillo: What the hell is she doing? I get these two hate each other, but at this point it looks like they’re just searching for new ways to take each other out! She’s making her way towards the low-rider… I hope TLA didn’t leave the keys inside as she sits in the driver’s seat! OH GOD! PLEASE DON’T TELL ME SHE’S ABOUT TO DO WHAT I’M THINKING HERE?!

James Peters: SHE SURE IS! MINERVA STARTS UP THE LOW-RIDER AND TLA IS BEGINNING TO GET BACK ONTO HIS FEET! SHE’S ABOUT TO RUN TLA OVER WITH HIS OWN CAR?!

Persephone: I don’t know when hitting people with cars became a normal thing around here, but I’m all for it :mjlol:!

Rich Russillo: AND LOOK AT THE LOOK ON MINERVA’S FACE! SHE’S LAUGHING AS SHE STARTS CRANKING UP THE LOW-RIDER! TLA NEEDS TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, BECAUSE I DON’T THINK MINERVA HAS ANY PROBLEM KILLING TLA RIGHT HERE AND NOW!

James Peters: TLA DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A CLUE WITH WHAT’S GOING ON! HE’S BACK UP ON HIS FEET AS THE HEADLIGHTS SHINE IN HIS FACE!!! MINERVA’S ABOUT TO DO IT!!

Rich Russillo: MINERVA DRIVES THE CAR INTO TLA!!

Rich Russillo: BUT TLA QUICKLY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, AND MINERVA CRASHES THE CAR INTO THE RING AS HER HEAD BOUNCES OFF THE STEERING WHEEL! OUCH! THAT HAS TO HURT! TLA could’ve been injured or even killed as Minerva tried to hit him with the car, but instead she just took herself out for the time being!

James Peters: I really can’t wrap my head around what just happened. I know we’ve seen Sierra get hit by a truck, but that was just as insane as what happened just now! Minerva literally just tried kill TLA but thankfully TLA was smart enough to move out of the way! TLA is in shock with what just happened as cameras show Minerva’s blood dripping over her face as the car is damn near stuck on the side of the ring!

TLA: :will: 

Rich Russillo: It seems like TLA is more concerned about his car than what could have happened just a few moments ago. Minerva was trying to make sure TLA couldn’t walk anymore! Such a demonic move by her but karma is a bitch! And now Minerva opens the driver’s seat door leaking blood from her head!

James Peters: I’m more surprised this match isn’t over after that stunt but TLA is livid as he’s staring at the damages of his low-rider! I don’t think Minerva even knows where she’s at anymore! Either way it doesn’t matter because TLA grabs Minerva by her hair and slams her on the hood of the car!! Minerva probably just woke up the beast in TLA!! Minerva literally tried to destroy him and his family business! AND NOW TLA WITH ANOTHER SLAM ONTO THE CAR!! MINERVA’S HEAD BOUNCES OFF THE CAR AND THIS MAY BE ALL SHE WROTE!!

Rich Russillo: TLA PLANTS MINERVA ON THE HOOD OF THE CAR!! AND TLA LOOKS TO BE GOING BACK INSIDE THE RING ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! WHAT IS TLA THINKING?! HE’S ABOUT TO CRUSH MINERVA INSIDE THAT HOOD?! I don’t know if I feel as bad about this after Minerva literally tried to run TLA over, but if Minerva actually wants to stand a chance in this match then she needs to get out of the way and fast!

James Peters: “420!!!!!” 

Rich Russillo: SHE COULDN’T MOVE!!! MINERVA COULDN’T GET OUT OF THE WAY! TLA JUST NAILED THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS ONTO MINERVA WHILE SHE ON THE HOOD OF THE LOW-RIDER!!! THAT DAMN SURE HAS LEFT A MAJOR DENT!!!

James Peters: MINERVA JUST GOT CRUSHED BY THAT HIGH-FLYING MOVE!!! AND NOW TLA WHO IS SLOWLY GETTING BACK UP!! HE GRABS MINERVA AND TOSSES HER BACK INSIDE THE RING!!! TLA GOES FOR THE COVER, AND THE REFEREE IS UP THIS TIME TO COUNT THE PINFALL! THIS IS IT!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!!!! 

Referee: TWOOOOOOOO!!!!!! 

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

James Peters: TLA RETAINS THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

Rich Russillo: NO JAMES!!! MINERVA WAS ABLE TO KICK OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE THREE COUNT!!! MINERVA IS SOMEHOW STILL ALIVE AFTER CRASHING INTO THE RING AND ALMOST CAUSING A CONCUSSION TO HERSELF! SOMEHOW MINERVA IS STILL IN THIS MATCH! If that doesn’t show you just how much Minerva wants to defeat TLA here tonight then I don’t know what will! Somehow Minerva is still in this match! TLA was put through so much this entire season thanks to New Eden, and it’s still not over yet! 

Persephone: Words can’t explain just how tired I am of watching these two fight. Why do these people have such a problem with five minute matches nowadays? NOT EVERY MATCH NEEDS TO LAST HALF AN HOUR!

James Peters: TLA can’t believe it! He thought the match was over after all of what just transpired! I thought it was over too for sure, but you can’t deny the fighting spirit that Minerva possesses! Despite all her dirty antics! She’s a survivor and now TLA must come up with something big in order to retain tonight.

Rich Russillo: Minerva’s face is covered in blood as TLA grabs her up to feet, AND NOW TLA DOESN’T WASTE ANY TIME! TLA GOES FOR THE FINISHING MOVE! MEXICAN DESTROYER!!!

Persephone: Nope! Because Minerva hates me and doesn’t want to see the match end, she managed to push TLA off of her once again!

Rich Russillo: BUT IT LOOKS LIKE MINERVA HAS PLANS OF HER OWN! MINERVA GOES FOR ATLAS FALLS AGAIN-

James Peters: NO! TLA MANAGES TO SLIP OUT OF MINERVA’S ATTEMPT AT HITTING ATLAS FALLS, AND HE HITS MINERVA WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! TLA NOW, POTENTIALLY LOOKING FOR A POWERBOMB! WAIT, MINERVA IS PUNCHING AWAY AT THE CHAMPION, DOING EVERYTHING SHE CAN IN ORDER TO TRY AND GET OUT OF THE UPCOMING POWERBOMB! IF MINERVA CAN’T GET OUT OF THIS THE MATCH MIGHT AS WELL BE OVER, AND TLA WILL SUCCESSFULLY RETAIN HIS CHAMPIONSHIP! 

Rich Russillo: BUT SHE DOES GET OUT OF IT, AND IT LOOKS LIKE MINERVA NOW IS SOMEHOW FINDING THE STRENGTH TO TRY AND GET TLA UP FOR A POWERBOMB OF HER OWN!

James Peters: TLA MANAGES TO FIGHT OUT OF IT THOUGH, AND HE RAMS HIS CHALLENGER INTO THE CORNER! TLA CHARGING INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER, BEFORE RUNNING BACK IN AND DELIVERING ANOTHER HUGE VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT! Minerva slumps down into a seated position in the corner, and TLA doesn’t even bother going for the pinfall this time! This match got out of hand extremely quickly, and now TLA really wants to make sure Minerva’s done for! I can’t say I blame him either. This match has been everything we thought it’d be and more!

Persephone: You’re right! This match has been extremely boring, just like I thought it’d be! 

Rich Russillo: TLA BACKS INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER ONCE AGAIN, AND HE CHARGES IN BEFORE DELIVERING A HUGE RUNNING FACEWASH TO THE CHALLENGER! Minerva is still bloody after what happened earlier, and I’m sure that didn’t help what could’ve nearly been a concussion! Minerva is pretty much lifeless right now! TLA has this match right in the palm of his hands, and now he picks up his challenger before-

James Peters: WAIT WHAT!? MINERVA WITH A QUICK ROLL-UP ONTO TLA OUT OF NOWHERE?!! MINERVA JUST PULLED TLA INTO A SMALL PACKAGE PIN!!! SHE’S STILL ALIVE?!

Referee: OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!

Referee: TTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Referee: TTTTHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

………………………………..

………………………………………………………..

Rich Russillo: TLA JUST BARELY MANAGES TO KICK OUT! That was out of nowhere! I didn’t think Minerva had anymore left in the tank, but I’m surprised! TLA pops back up and hits Minerva with a drop-kick that knocks her back down onto the mat! TLA has all the advantage right now but he must be careful of another trick from Minerva!

James Peters: And Minerva needs to be careful because she was bleeding bad earlier! TLA is looking for another finish as he sees Minerva slowing getting back up to her feet! She’s wobbling so much as TLA has her where he wants her!

Rich Russillo: MEXICAN DESTROYER ONCE AGAIN!!!! TLA IS ABOUT TO SEAL THE DEAL!!!

James Peters: WAIT A MINUTE!! MINERVA JUST PUSHED TLA AWAY, BEFORE JUMPING UP AND DROPPING THE CHAMPION WITH A HUGE DDT, AND TLA’S FACE CRASHES RIGHT ONTO THE MAT!!! WOW WHAT A COUNTER! IT JUST SAVED HER FROM LOSING THIS MATCH!!

Rich Russillo: And now look at the face of Minerva. She’s smiling through all that blood on her face! This woman is insane, but you simply can’t deny the effort she’s putting in right now to stay alive in this match!

James Peters: TLA is in a dangerous spot now because with the little energy that Minerva has right now, she’s about to use it to secure the win! She’s staring at TLA as begins to turn around…

Minerva: (off-mic) No one but New Eden. 

Rich Russillo: THE PRINCESS KILLER!!! SHE GRABS TLA FOR THE PRINCESS KILLER AND IT CONNECTS AFTER TWISTING HIM IN MID-AIR! WHAT A MOVE!! MINERVA WITH A HARD TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER AND TLA IS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS! HERE GOES THE COUNT!!!

Referee: ONEEEEEE!!! 

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

James Peters: WHAT!?!?!? HOW!?!? HOW IS THIS HAPPENING THIS LATE IN THE MATCH!?!! TLA IS ABLE TO GET HIS SHOULDER UP JUST BEFORE THE THREE COUNT! WE’RE STILL CONTINUING THIS MATCH!!

Persephone: :wtf: Bro, Minerva sucks! That was one of her best moves, how did that not get the job done!?

James Peters: This is TLA we’re talking about here! The last thing this man wants is to let a member of New Eden be the reason his Championship reign ends, and we’ve seen what he’s capable of time and time again! We know TLA usually has what it takes to survive moves like this, but I’ll admit even I’m shocked! 

Rich Russillo: Minerva has a look of exhaustion on her face after that kick-out, meanwhile the entire SoFi Stadium is on their feet, cheering for their National Elite Champion! We all thought it would be all she wrote, and a new champion would be crowned tonight. However, it looks like TLA is still in the ball game! Minerva looks very upset after that kick-out so she’s going to try something different! 

James Peters: TLA may have survived that move but he’s still at the mercy of Minerva, and ironically mercy is the last thing I expect her to give the Champion tonight. Minerva now, LOOKING FOR THE IRON CLAW-

Rich Russillo: TLA CAUGHT HER HAND!!! TLA CAUGHT MINERVA’S HAND BEFORE SHE COULD APPLY THE IRON CLAW AND POSSIBLY GO FOR THE STIR OF ECHOES, AND NOW THERE’S A SWAG SHOT! THAT SWAG SHOT MIGHT HAVE JUST BOUGHT TLA SOME TIME TO RECOVER!

Persephone: And hopefully enough time to finish this match off. They could at least take out the referee again and go back to killing each other if they want to fight forever. That’d be way better than this.

James Peters: Both TLA and Minerva are getting back to their feet, AND NOW TLA BEGINS GOING RIGHT AFTER MINERVA, HITTING FOREARM AFTER FOREARM TO HIS CHALLENGER! THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET AS THEY SEE THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION GET THE UPPER HAND AGAINST MINERVA! NEW EDEN HAS BEEN TERRORIZING VOLTAGE FOR MONTHS, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE DOWN TLA AFTER ALL!

Rich Russillo: TLA SENDS MINERVA INTO THE CORNER BEFORE CHARGING IN, AND HE CONNECTS WITH A HUGE JUMPING SLASH BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES, ALL WHILE MINERVA STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER! TLA WITH A HUGE LARIAT TO MINERVA!! Minerva now is barely stirring, but TLA is waiting for her to get back to her feet! Stuff like this is exactly why TLA is the National Elite Champion! This is why people love TLA so much! Minerva doesn’t know where she is! TLA NOW CHARGES IN!!!

James Peters: AND MINERVA CUTS HIM OFF WITH A HUGE BICYCLE KICK TO THE FACE! THAT KICK JUST CAUSED TLA TO DROP DOWN TO A KNEE! TLA IS HURT, AND NOW MINERVA IS GOING FOR THE DEVIL’S TOUCH!! SHE SUPERKICKS TLA HEAD OFF!!

Rich Russillo: NO!!! TLA CATCHES HER FOOT AND SWINGS MINERVA AROUND, BEFORE KICKING HER BACK INTO THE RING ROPES!! MINERVA NOW FALLING ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND THAT’S THE LAST PLACE YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU’RE FACING TLA! I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHAT TLA’S SETTING UP FOR NOW!

Persephone: THE END OF THE MATCH!!!!

Rich Russillo: 305 CONNECTS!!! AS TLA’S BOOTS SMACK MINERVA RIGHT IN HER FACE, DROPPING MINERVA ONTO THE MAT! THE CROWD IS GOING WILD FOR TLA, AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY BE SEEING THE CLOSING MOMENTS OF THIS MATCH! TLA has had to fight off members of this group for an entire season! First it was Drake who targeted TLA since his return to the company! Then it was Myles who TLA defeated for the Championship! TLA got through both of them, and now he’s this close to putting away Minerva!

James Peters: TLA is slowly making his way up to the top rope, and I think this may be it! Minerva fought hard and did pretty much everything in her power to bring that title to New Eden, but it looks like she’s going to come up short! Minerva has been a huge thorn in TLA’s side these past few weeks alone, and it looks like she might just get what she deserves! THIS HAS GOT TO BE IT! TLA TO FINISH THE MATCH AND RETAIN THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!

(The camera cuts to shots of the SoFi Stadium’s crowd, showing every single fan in attendance on their feet, cheering for TLA. Not only do they, and pretty much everyone else on the planet, love TLA, but they hate New Eden and want nothing more but to see them lose tonight.)

James Peters: TLA DIVES!!!!

Rich Russillo: :krabs: 

James Peters: :krabs:

Crowd: :krabs:

James Peters: MINERVA CAUGHT TLA!!!! MINERVA SOMEHOW, USING WHATEVER STRENGTH IS LEFT IN HER BODY CAUGHT TLA, AND NOW WHAT’S THIS!?!?

Rich Russillo: THE BLACK WEDDING!!!! MINERVA JUST HIT TLA WITH THE MOST DEVASTATING MOVE IN HER ARSENAL!!! NO!!!! TLA WAS JUST DRILLED TO THE CANVAS WITH THE BLACK WEDDING, AND MINERVA MANAGES TO PULL HERSELF ON TOP OF THE CHAMPION! DON’T TELL ME THIS IS IT!!!! DID MINERVA JUST DEFEAT TLA AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!?!?

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! 

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! 

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

………

…….

………..

…….

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Blood, Milk & Sky” by White Zombie plays as Minerva rolls over the side of the unconscious TLA, lying there before slowly beginning to move and acknowledge her victory. The crowd is shocked, but after a few seconds of comprehending what just happened between TLA and Minerva, the entire crowd begins to boo. Every single fan in the SoFi Stadium is booing for Minerva as she slowly uses the ropes to make it back to her feet.) 

Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….. AND THE NEWWWWWWWWWWWWW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! MINERVVVAAAAAAAA!!!!

James Peters: Oh no.. Minerva actually did it. MINERVA HAS DETHRONED TLA! MINERVA IS THE NEW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!!! I’m still in disbelief over what we just saw! I thought TLA had it won, we all did! He was THIS close to getting the job done, and somehow Minerva managed to catch him out of mid air and deliver the biggest move she has!

Rich Russillo: We saw a lot in this match, including the referee being taken out of action, Steroid Dawg biting Minerva, and TLA nearly being run over, but somehow at the end of all of this Minerva managed to bring the National Elite Championship to New Eden! I know they don’t really care about that stuff as much now, but I’m pretty sure this makes Minerva a Triple Crown Champion. :lupe:

Persephone: FINALLY this is over! Is this the part where we’re all like “Don’t take anything away from TLA even though he’s a loser blah blah blah” and start lying before moving onto the next match? 

James Peters: We all saw how close TLA was to winning that match! He almost had it, but in the end Minerva just captured a huge win for New Eden. 

(As her entrance music continues to play, Minerva snatches the National Elite Championship from the referee, and the referee holds up the hand not holding the title. Minerva is still covered in blood, but through all that blood you can still see the evil grin on her face, satisfied with what she’s done to TLA on the biggest show of the year. From there, Pain for Pride begins to fade out.)

(Commercial for Ancestry.com featuring Chris Elite. We’ll get those DNA test results one way or another :wow:.)

(The camera begins to fade to the backstage area, and immediately the SoFi Stadium’s crowd begins to boo as loud as they possibly can. Drake King is seen on the screen wearing his white robes, seemingly prepared for one of the biggest matches of his career. Drake isn’t alone though, as next to him is the newly crowned National Elite Champion Minerva holding her Championship on her shoulder, still bandaged up after the events of her match against TLA, and Myles holding his newly won Cash in the Vault briefcase, also bandaged and taped up following his ladder match. New Eden as a whole is on the line in Drake’s upcoming match, so it goes without saying that Myles and Minerva want to make sure Drake is prepared.)

Minerva: You know what you need to do, right?

(Drake doesn’t say anything, but he nods his head.)

Myles: Are you sure? You know how big of a deal this is.

Drake King: I’m sure. I’m as ready as I’ll ever be, I’m not letting Malcolm Jones leave Pain for Pride as a member of the EAW roster. 

Myles: Remember, this isn’t just any other match. New Eden is on the line here. We both have faith that you’ll rid this company of Malcolm Jones and take his EAW Championship in the process, but this is also an Unsanctioned Match so anything and everything could happen. We had to endure so much just to make it to this point. For months Captain Charisma did everything he could to try and take us out. For months the entire roster did what they could to try and silence us. 

Myles: They all tried, and time and time again they failed because we found a way to endure everything they threw at us. None of it was fair. None of it was justifiable, but we managed to make the best out of a bad situation time and time again and this match is a perfect example of that. Your right to choose what you want to do with the Grand Rampage was taken from you, yet here we are with Malcolm Jones’ career being put on the line. They tried so hard to take us down and they failed. Tonight of all nights can’t be the night where they succeed. One loss tonight, and all of the work we’ve put in to try and save this company will be rendered obsolete. Our mission will be put to an abrupt end, and New Eden will be no more. We can’t have that. 

Minerva: We’ve come this far, we can’t afford to come up short in this match of all matches. We took the Grand Rampage match from everyone, and now we’re this close to taking multiple opportunities from so many ungrateful excuses of Elitists and getting rid of one of the biggest thorns in our side for good. You have to end him tonight. We’ve dealt with a bunch of bullshit since joining forces but we’ve always found a way to come out on top. We did it at Grand Rampage, I did it against TLA for the National Elite Championship, and Myles did it against five other Elitists for the Cash in the Vault briefcase. 

Minerva: Things have been going New Eden’s way all night, and you know what’s on the line here. This isn’t just about you taking the EAW Championship from Malcolm Jones. This is about his career coming to an end, and New Eden taking yet another step towards reaching our goal. We HAVE to get rid of him. There’s no match at Pain for Pride with bigger stakes than this one Drake. We really can’t afford a loss. We’ve come this far and have overcome every single obstacle in our path. Malcolm Jones can’t be our last. 

(Drake seems to completely understand what Myles and Minerva are saying. Myles had won the Cash in the Vault briefcase and Minerva dethroned TLA to win the National Elite Championship, but if Drake comes up short tonight New Eden will cease to exist. That’ll mean making everything the three have done since becoming a group back in February go down the drain, and allowing the career of one of their biggest enemies to continue.)

Drake King: I know what needs to be done. Malcolm had this coming for so long. I’m not letting him leave Pain for Pride with his career intact, and I’m definitely not letting him leave Pain for Pride knowing that New Eden’s come to an end. Malcolm didn’t deserve an opportunity to compete in the Pain for Pride main event again, but since he was so insistent on getting his match I’m going to make sure that this is the last time he’s able to compete at Pain for Pride at all. Malcolm Jones has spent years being allowed to do whatever he wants with nobody around to actually tell him no, and every time someone *did* enter the picture to stop him he somehow found a way to still come out on top. That changes tonight. Malcolm isn’t coming back from this. He’s not getting “revenge”, he’s not getting another EAW Championship, he’s not getting another Pain for Pride main event. All of the things he’s used to having handed to him on a silver platter go away tonight. This is the last time we’ll ever have to see Malcolm Jones in an EAW ring, and that’s a promise.

Drake King: This match won’t be pretty. Captain Charisma did everything he could to try and give Malcolm the edge making this an Unsanctioned Match, but we’ve been through far worse than this. We did this when we first united at King of Elite. We did this against twenty-seven other people in the Grand Rampage match. We did this against the Visual Prophet. You two did it just tonight. Time and time again we’ve had the odds stacked against us and came out on top. I understand what’s on the line here, and *if* I lose that’d be catastrophic for us, but I won’t. 

Drake King: This Unsanctioned stipulation is stupid and just like this match is shouldn’t have needed to happen, but I’m willing to deal with it in order to do what must be done. Especially after these past few weeks I can’t let Malcolm’s career go any further, and in a match with our future on the line I can’t let Malcolm come out on top. We made a promise to turn this company around for the better, and until we live up to that promise and reach our goal of fixing this place, New Eden isn’t going anywhere. It doesn’t matter what the stipulation is, it doesn’t matter what we’re fighting for, we’re going to prevail because we NEED to. This company needs us to survive and I’m not about to let this company die all because of Malcolm Jones. 

Myles: Good. Now that we took care of TLA and the Cash in the Vault ladder match we only have one more match to go.

Minerva: And it’s the one that determines our fate.

Drake King: You two did good tonight. There was no way TLA would be able to retain the National Elite Championship against you Minerva, and no matter how hard all of the people in that Cash in the Vault match tried, it wasn’t enough. Not when Myles was in the match. You two did exactly what you should’ve, but this isn’t over just yet. This is New Eden’s time. This is our time to make even more progress than ever towards a better EAW. This is our time to make sure that none of the horrible people that stood against New Eden tonight prevails. Limmy Monaghan, Jon Kelton, Andre Walker, Constance Blevins, Justin Windgate, TLA, they all failed. Every single one of them fell at the hands of New Eden, and now it’s Malcolm’s turn to fail. 

(From the look on their faces, Myles and Minerva seem to be in agreement with Drake. Obviously they’re all a bit worried knowing what’s on the line for them, but they knew that this wouldn’t be the first big challenge the three faced during their time as a team.)

Myles: Tonight five Elitists had their opportunity at Cash in the Vault taken from them, TLA had the National Elite Championship taken from him, and now Malcolm Jones will have his career taken from him. They all stood against us hoping to finally get rid of us, and in the end not a single one of them will prevail, especially not Malcolm. Just like you said, Malcolm’s been able to get pretty much whatever he wanted for years now. He’s been able to get away with more than most people on the roster, and tonight is the night that Malcolm finally gets the one thing he truly deserves, and has his career forcefully put to an end for millions of people around the world to see. You’re going to defeat Malcolm. You’re going to end his career, and from there New Eden is going to keep doing what we’ve been doing since February, and continue fighting to make a change around here. 

Minerva: Pain for Pride is going to end with the same sight Grand Rampage did. Everyone opposing us will fall, and the biggest show of the year will end with none of their favorites standing tall, and none of New Eden’s opponents succeeding. These past few months everyone has worked together to try to take us out, and it’s because they fear us. They fear how powerful we really are together, but just like their attempts failed so many times in the past, it’s going to fail at the biggest show of the year, with more people watching than ever before. Malcolm made a huge mistake agreeing to put his career on the line, and an even bigger one forcing you to put New Eden on the line. He won’t be leaving Pain for Pride with his title or his career. Pain for Pride will end with us proving that every word we spoke was the truth. Pain for Pride will end with us standing tall over everyone that stood against us.

Minerva: Pain for Pride will end with no one but New Eden inside of that ring, having accomplished *exactly* what we said we would. 

Myles: No one but New Eden. 

(Drake looks at his two partners one more time before preparing to leave for his match.)

Drake King: No one but New Eden.

(With that being said, Drake finally leaves for his upcoming match as Myles and Minerva watch, having faith in Drake to get the job done against Malcolm Jones. This match is one of the most important matches they’ve had to deal with since becoming a trio as their stable is exactly what’s on the line, but they do believe in their partner. From there, Pain for Pride begins to fade away from the backstage area.)

(The camera fades back to SoFi Stadium. The Pain For Pride 14 logo hangs suspended above the ring in augmented reality, ‘We Are Infinite’ by The Lighthouse And The Whaler plays in the background as fans take advantage of the brief pause before the pain event.)

(Suddenly the music comes to a halt and a large, booming voice thunders throughout the stadium)

????: Oh how wonderful this has been? Have you enjoyed your moments? Your victories? Your conquests? Has this Pain For Pride in the city of angels been all that you wanted it to be? I’m sure it has. I’ve been watching, I’ve been observing…and I am impressed. Not by your actions, not by your heroics, not by your resilience but rather your sinful ways…

(The camera begins to shake violently as the ground of SoFi Stadium crumbles into a deep chasm. The red glow of hellfire illuminates the rest of the stadium that remains; the tips of flames visible as they peak above the top of the hole. The ring, rinside area, parts of the stage and the crowd themselves all fall into the abyss. A swarm of bats flow from the chasm, smashing through the ceiling and spread across the sky)

????: Vainglory. Covetousness. Lust. Envy. Gluttony. Wrath. Sloth. So many of you who enter this apparent ‘kingdom’ desecrate it with your desires and your actions. All of you…so sinful. I love it.

(After a moment, the Devil himself appears. His scaly and leather-like wings flap in the air as he grasps the Pain For Pride 14 logo in the hand. The metal claws sink in, the angelic wings crushed as feathers fall into the pit below)

The Devil: This? This simply won’t do. Heaven may have opened its gates for you all to seek entry but there is another that is always open, that is always seeking new and willing subjects. Because where there is heaven…

The Devil: **THERE IS ALWAYS HELL!**

(The Devil proceeds to snatch the Pain For Pride logo from above the ring and flies out of the stadium. The swarm of bats race towards the east, straight into the desert)

The Devil: I know a place far more appropriate for all of you. Where your eternity is spent with many others full of sin. 

(The Pain For Pride 14 logo’s angelic wings begin to lose its feathers, replacing it with the scaly, leather-like texture no different to the Devil’s. The majestic colours begin to fade to darker tones, the blue slowly turns red)

The Devil: Ah…here we are. It is here that your pride will be expended, only to be rewarded with immense pain and suffering. This is where your fate is tempted, not on the soft, tranquil ideals of that disgusting ‘heaven’. Pay for your sins and survive hell to reach your wildest dreams. We certainly look forward to seeing you here. Where you truly belong…

(The camera pans to an overview of Las Vegas, Nevada. The lights of the Sin City are as bright and as alluring as ever before as the newly reshaped Pain For Pride logo hangs over the city)

The Devil: Welcome to…

(SCREEN: 24th – 26th June, 2022. LIVE! From Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, Nevada!)

(The camera fades back to SoFi Stadium. The augmented reality scene has disappeared and all is back to normal)

( The camera fades into a shot of the sold-out crowd, who are eagerly anticipating the final match of the night. The culmination of the 3-day Pain for Pride weekend is finally here! The fans get even louder as the match graphic for Malcolm Jones versus Drake King flashes across the videotron. )

( We then fade to a video package. )

(FADE IN: The camera opens up to a recap of the three members of New Eden, Drake King, Myles, and Minerva. The three Elitists are exiting the ring following a huge attack on Malcolm Jones that took place following their contract signing two weeks before Pain for Pride. You can see the fans’ hatred through the virtual screens in the World 1 Theatre, but the sound is out.) 

Narrator: 2021 has seen the rise of one of EAW’s most controversial factions in history. Three Elitists would work together to form a revolution against the wrestling industry, and it all started at one of the company’s biggest shows of the year. 

(The video cuts to the match between Drake King, Consuela Rose Ava, and Jake Smith at King of Elite 2021. Throughout the tournament Drake King seemed to find common ground with the National Elite Champion Myles, who was working alongside Minerva to make sure nobody else was able to succeed. This would give Drake a huge idea which would soon come to fruition, as Insurgency’s interference in that triple threat match would be stopped thanks to Myles and Minerva, who had eventually agreed to align themselves with Drake. This would eventually allow Drake to capture the victory, allowing all three members of a soon-to-be faction to be victorious at the event.)

Narrator: At King of Elite, Drake King, Myles and Minerva would take the first steps in their goal to change the industry. Soon after, their fight against EAW’s norms would gain a name. 

(The video shows the Voltage following King of Elite, where all three members of the stable call themselves New Eden, making it clear that they plan to rid the company of greed by taking away what they claim is the source of it, Championships and accolades. It wouldn’t take long for the three to begin their fight against the company, as Myles was already the National Elite Champion, and Minerva would soon target the EAW Champion Terry Chambers, coming as close as she possibly can to dethroning the Champion just weeks after his crowning.)

Narrator: While all three members of New Eden would find success at King of Elite, they’d soon realize that their goal to change the wrestling industry would be far from easy. 

(The video would show Raven Roberts’ attack on Minerva which cost her the title, and from there it’d show a recap of Shock Value, where every single member of New Eden came up short in their respective matches. New Eden wouldn’t give up as they only continued calling out the company, but many Elitists would begin to stand against them, including Ms. Extreme, Rex McAllister, SOSA Henderson, TLA, and Impact.)

Narrator: New Eden’s list of enemies would grow larger by the second, but soon enough every single one of them would begin to realize just how far the group will go in order to achieve their goal of bringing about change, all at the expense of EAW’s biggest match of the year.

(Leading up to the Grand Rampage match, both the Visual Prophet and SOSA Henderson would be injured by New Eden, taking them out of action. The video then shows some of the Grand Rampage match’s highlights, starting with Drake’s entry at number one, Minerva’s at eight, and Myles’ at nine. The trio would have the odds against them, but in the end they’d still make it to the final four of the match. Impact would be the last man standing against New Eden, and despite being outnumbered and weapons being brought in, Impact would put up a fight. It’d get to the point where Minerva would have to sacrifice herself so Myles can continue, but eventually as Impact is on the verge of eliminating Drake, Myles sacrifices himself to send Impact out to the apron, allowing Drake to knock Impact off the apron and eliminate him. In the end New Eden would stand in the center of the ring, smiles on all of their faces as they overcame their greatest challenge yet.)

Narrator: New Eden said they’d stop at nothing to spread their message and change the wrestling industry. Things wouldn’t end with the Grand Rampage match, but New Eden would only continue to prove just how far committed they are to changing the industry.

(Drake King would make it clear that he doesn’t actually plan to use his Grand Rampage victory, but at Battle of Egypt, Drake would learn that he couldn’t always get his way. Captain Charisma had enough of New Eden, and if Drake didn’t use his Grand Rampage victory to face Malcolm Jones at Pain for Pride, they would be suspended for 60 days and a new challenger for Malcolm would be found. Drake would finally agree to face Malcolm Jones at Pain for Pride, but on one condition: Malcolm puts his career on the line. Malcolm Jones would force Drake to put New Eden on the line as well, and while Drake accepts, Minerva would threaten to throw Malcolm Jones’ girlfriend Keisha off of the stage. Malcolm would reveal that Keisha is actually pregnant, and Myles attacks Malcolm from behind while Drake joins in. The following week, Captain Charisma would make the match between Drake King and Malcolm Jones an Unsanctioned Match.)

Narrator: New Eden began as an uprising against the wrestling industry and soon became a war against it, but at Pain for Pride there’s a big chance that it all may come to an end. No matter what happens, someone’s life will change forever. Either Malcolm Jones’ career will come to an end, or New Eden will be no more. 

(The video cuts back to what happened on Voltage two weeks ago between New Eden and Malcolm Jones, this time showing the words shared between Malcolm and Drake before they actually signed the contract. The match between these two became very personal and that’s been the case for a very long time now. New Eden’s attack on Malcolm begins to play, but as they make their way out of the ring, all of the booing is heard this time. With the trio smiling in unison being the final image, the camera fades out.)

(FADE IN: The video package starts out immediately upbeat music hits before footage blasts off into Malcolm Jones during his time in EAW’s NEO and the Gawd Complex before making his arrival to REVOLT! Pro Wrestling in pursuit of the Tag Team Championships with Chris Elite, collectively known as the Blicky Boyz. This leads to Malcolm crossing paths with Liquid Swords, who are not only the reigning champions at the time but the team is made up in part by his mentor, DEDEDE, from the Gawd Complex. DEDEDE makes it clear he’s got no problem prioritizing himself and his success over his pupil, and that stands true at REVOLT 1, but it’s known that Malcolm has a bright future.)

Narrator: With someone who’s so clearly got the makings of a star, it seems that there’s only one place to go and that’s straight to the top for Malcolm Jones!

(Footage cuts to Malcolm, now in EAW as a result of the merger, and in a position to compete for the World Heavyweight Championship held by his ally, Chris Elite. In a twist of events, Malcolm turns on Chris going into Pain for Pride, where in a bloody, chaotic World Title match, Malcolm Jones ultimately ends up losing. Malcolm moves on into Season 12 showing off his potential to be a top star as he claims the Unified Tag Team Championships early in the season, before moving onto singles success with an Interwire Title victory over Heart Break Boy – Malcolm’s first singles title win – and a win over Impact.)

Malcolm Jones: (voiceover) These dudes ain’t handing out opportunities, at the end of the day you gotta go out there and snatch the crown.

(With the music still going, the audio quote from an early promo for REVOLT proves to be a sign of things to come as quick shots of the Interwire Championship and King of Elite crown are shown shining brightly beside each other on a red cushion, residing on a pedestal. Malcolm proceeds to earn the opportunity to go straight to the final match of the King of Elite tournament, a match he also wins. Upon losing the Interwire Title to an up-and-coming Drake King, Malcolm goes on to defeat Chris Elite, then-Openweight Champion TLA, and then-EAW World Champion Ahren Fournier for the EAW World Championship at Grand Rampage. But he finds himself not done with Chris Elite just yet, meeting at Pain for Pride for a second time. With a 2-1 score in a 3 Stages of Hell Match, Malcolm valiantly retains over Chris.)

Narrator: But on a wave of success, these perilous EAW waters are known to be infested with the power-hungry and manipulative, all just waiting to take anyone at the top under.

(Malcolm goes into Voltage of Season 13 the EAW World Champion against Charlie Marr who has Veena Adams on his side, and it’s at Bloodsport where Veena costs Malcolm the EAW World Championship, but it’s also where she also ends up firing Malcolm for brutalizing her immediately after the match in a vicious attack!)

Narrator: But their mistake was assuming it was all done and over with, forgetting that they were dealing with someone who doesn’t look to just get even – Malcolm Jones has always sought to get one step ahead of the game.

(Malcolm unexpectedly shows up at Road to Redemption at the end of the Extreme Elimination Chamber Match for the EAW World Championship, costing Charlie the chance to retain and the two of them spend the next months antagonizing each other ahead of a Barbed Wire Massacre Match at Pain for Pride where in a vicious, brutal match-up Malcolm succeeds over Charlie.)

Narrator: When one story ends, sometimes we find ourselves going back to old favorites, revisiting old faces – and in this case, faces from the past who’ve long since grown and showed themselves to be the new competition needed for a whole new season.

(Season 14 gets into gear with Malcolm defeating TLA – with the help of a returning Drake King – at Bloodsport for the opportunity to lead the War Games team. But it’s at Territorial Invasion with Drake and Darcy May Morgan, that Drake’s own actions lead to Team Voltage’s loss. In return, Malcolm costs Drake a victory at Wicked Games! Things continue to escalate when Malcolm puts attention to Sierra Bradford, Drake King’s girlfriend, attempting to injure her only for Drake to come and crack him over the head with a chair to put a stop to it!)

Narrator: But some of those stories stick with us longer than expected, and sometimes those stories find themselves with new pages getting written and added for whole new epic tales to come playing out for the world to see.

(Malcolm returns to Shock Value to cost Drake the chance at becoming the EAW World Champion. But it’s then-reigning champion, Terry Chambers, who’s frustrated with Malcolm’s unasked for assistance leading to their match; Malcolm’s EAW World Championship victory comes at Grand Rampage ahead of Drake winning the Grand Rampage Match. But Drake announces he has no plans on using the opportunity, however, while he doesn’t care for the EAW World Championship itself, he’ll compete at Pain for Pride if Malcolm puts his career on the line!)

(In a turn of expectations, Malcolm agrees but not without a stipulation of his own: Drake has to put New Eden on the line and, should Drake lose, New Eden must disband. But it only gets crazier when Minerva comes dragging Keisha out from backstage, set to powerbomb Keisha off the stage… until Malcolm reveals that Keisha is pregnant! In the end of a vicious assault, the only sound as the color drains from the footage are her sobs after Drake accepts the stipulation as everything fades.)

Narrator: Is this the end for one of EAW’s most transcendent stars ever?

(The screen remains black and silent for a few passing moments…. before “Scenario” by Pop Smoke begins to play, bringing the package back to life with bright and popping colors for in-ring footage of Malcolm Jones – various moves being struck by him, moments of celebrations after wins, his entrances to big events and FPVs.)

Narrator: Or does Malcolm Jones have it in to meet the moment and overcome it all?

(“Scenario” continues on playing over the oncoming footage of Malcolm winning over DEDEDE at Christmas in Dubai; brutalizing and bloodying Charlie Marr; focusing a few extra moments on when Malcolm had been hyped to the stage with a live performance by Pop Smoke; as well as clips of him competing in the ring from throughout his time during Season 14.)

Narrator: A World Champion, a King of Elite, an undeniable star – Malcolm Jones has solidified himself as one of the greatest in the world for a reason, and if there’s anything that’s stayed true about Malcolm, it’s that as he thrives in the ring with all eyes on him just as he’s wanted: he’s never to be counted out.

(The last image is a slow-motion shot of Malcolm coming to raise the EAW World Championship in the middle of the ring, silence coming over the video package except for the sound of a roaring crowd that’s slowly beginning to fade out along with the ending of the video. The video goes to black and the audio of the crowd’s cheering goes out on a slow fade shortly after it, the video package comes to a close.)

( As the second video package fades out, Bella Braxton is seen standing in the middle of the ring. )

Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS AN UNSANCTIONED MATCH FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AND IT IS SCHEDULE FOR …

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!

Bella Braxton: AS PER THE CONTRACT… SHOULD DRAKE KING WIN HERE TONIGHT, THEN THE CAREER OF MALCOLM JONES COMES TO AN END! IF MALCOLM JONES WERE TO RETAIN TONIGHT, THEN NEW EDEN WILL BE FORCED TO GO THEIR SEPARATE WAYS!

( The crowd loves the idea of New Eden splitting up but they immediately go silent when the stadium goes dark. After a moment, gold light begins to engulf the crowd. The lights above the stage change to a solid gold color as well and after a moment, Drake King walks onto the stage to absolutely no music. )

Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST… HAILING FROM THE DEAD SEA… WEIGHING IN AT 220 POUNDS… HE IS DRAKE THE REDEEMER!!!

( The boos from the crowd are louder than any music Drake could have walked out to and The Messiah just shakes his head. He will never understand why people don’t agree with him )

James Peters: And this is what it all comes down to ladies and gentlemen. Drake King and Malcolm Jones will go to war for a belt Drake claims to hate, and for something Malcolm thinks he is bigger than.

Rich Russillo: I think it’s safe to say that this might be one of the first times in Pain for Pride history that we have had a main event that means far more than any championship. The future of a group is on the line. Malcolm Jones’ career is on the line. I have no clue what is going to happen in this match tonight.

Persephone: Rex should be in this position.

( Drake has gotten into the ring and is in the process of removing his golden Jesus robes. The crowd continues to book Drake, but eventually they quiet down. )

(After everything goes silent, the lights begin to slowly dim. The crowd begins to murmur in anticipation for the Champions entrance, by the looks of it, it’s going to be big. After a while, the piano intro of the trailer for ‘COTI’ by Lloyd Banks is heard. The crowd starts getting excited and hyped as the piano continues to play in the background. Before long, the voice of the narrator begins to creep in and speak with a booming voice)

“We have never known life without struggle, or peace without war…”

“We have been simply faded in our own existence.”

“But what do we say to the people who fear the choices they’ll have to make?”

“Without any bit of guidance in this world”

“As if they already don’t have a sense of direction. If they’re not sure if it’s their time to shine or stray away like it wasn’t already written.”

“But how do we let destiny come to us? I guess until you accept it, you keep on searching.”

(The narrator continues to speak as a spotlight begins to shine down on the stage. Before long multiple people begin to file out from the backstage area. The people identified seem to be from Malcolm Jones’ neighborhood. The crowd begins to quiet down as at this point, they’re beginning to look in awe at what’s happening)

Rich Russillo: What’s that rising from the stage? :krabs:

James Peters: Is that… a jersey?

Persephone: No James, totally not.

(A framed jersey with Malcolm’s name on it begins to rise as the trailer continues to play out. It rises to a level that is above the Pain For Pride stage as a separate spotlight shines on that, a sign of respect towards the career of the current EAW World Champion. The narrator continues as it looks to be coming to a close)

“I’ve never known peace without struggle, or life without war…”

“I am simply faded in my own existence.”

“Cause this, my success, is *inevitable.*”

(From there it transitions to ‘Christopher Walking’ by Pop Smoke blaring through the speakers to thunderous cheers from the audience. It isn’t long after that Malcolm Jones makes his way out to the stage emphatically with the EAW World Championship, coming out of smoke that fills the stage in a fog. His neighborhood hypes him up as he makes his way towards the center of the stage and takes his Championship with both hands and raises it high into the air. As he raises it in the air, beautiful pyro begins to burst out from the stage as Malcolm simply smirks in response hearing the crowd continue to cheer him and the overall atmosphere of his entrance as well)

(He brings the Championship down and throws it over his shoulder, but the pyro still doesn’t finish. Around his neck is an obscene, heavy, diamond studded chain which he flexes to the camera. Before he makes his way down the ramp he stops, and turns around)

Rich Russillo: Is he yelling for the jersey to be taken down???

James Peters: Usually they hang jerseys from the rafters to honor Basketball players on the court, I don’t think Malcolm sees this as the end. I don’t think Malcolm sees Pain For Pride XIV as the end of his career, he’s walking in with a purpose and that’s beating Drake King!

(The jersey slowly begins to descend as the spotlight fixated on it is shut off. Malcolm turns around and looks towards the ring as Bella Braxton exits. From there famous ring announcer Michael Buffer, seen at Grand Rampage 2021 a few months ago, takes her place as from there he begins to speak to introduce the Champion)

Michael Buffer: Entering into the most anticipated match in professional wrestling for the HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD, the Champion… from Harlem, New York… weighing in tonight at a total of 230 pounds… 

Michael Buffer: 2-time EAW World Champion!

Michael Buffer: The 2019 King of Elite…

Michael Buffer: Undefeated on the dodgeball court in third grade!

Michael Buffer: The leader of The Blicky Boyz and absolutely nobody will tell him otherwise! 

Michael Buffer: 1-time EAW Interwire Champion!

Michael Buffer: Has slept with more women than Wilt Chamberlain and Tommy Lee combined in one calendar year!

Michael Buffer: He was the first elitist to have his name tattooed onto a fan’s body…

Michael Buffer: That fan being Teanna Trump!

Michael Buffer: 1-time EAW Unified Tag Team Champion!

Michael Buffer: AND YOUR CURRENT, REIGNING, AND DEFENDING 2-TIME EAW WORLD CHAMPION OF THE WORLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!! BIG 092MLBOA… MALLLLCOOLLMMMM JOOONNNNNESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: And what an entrance by the Champion! You can tell that the confidence is just oozing out of him, undeniably believing that he is going to be the one to come out on top here tonight. And if he wants to keep his already legendary EAW career going that’s exactly what he has to do! Malcolm walks in tonight as the EAW World Champion and if there’s one thing he wants to do, is walk out Champion as well. But not only that, his career is on the line in this bout as well! And while the stakes are high for Drake King as well, Malcolm is fighting for so much more here tonight. The risk that he’s taken heading into this match is insurmountable, but this is what he wants and I’m sure has absolutely no regrets.

James Peters: New Eden has terrorized not just Malcolm, but his family as well. We saw that horrific scene when Malcolm accepted the stipulation for the match, it was horrifying. Malcolm has the chance to rid EAW of the one thing that has left it terrorized for so long, and that’s the force of nature known as New Eden itself. He’s out for revenge, and what better revenge than dismantling the stable in its entirety. He’s a man out for blood and vengeance, and it’s going to make for one hell of a match to determine the fate of Elite Answers Wrestling. 

Persephone: If this was Rexy there would be absolutely no doubt that by the end of the day New Eden would be completely done for! He’d put his career, his livelihood, that shitbag he calls a wife, and his entire family fortune on the line and still win! In my opinion, Malcolm Jones has sealed his own fate. And if you want me to be honest, I could care less.

(Malcolm makes his way up the steps and onto the apron. He looks out to the crowd before turning to his opponent who’s getting ready in the corner. Malcolm jumps into the ring and takes his title before once again raising it up again. Pyro begins to shoot out again as the crowd continues to cheer and look on in awe at the display the Champion is putting on. Malcolm makes his way over to his corner and gets ready as ‘Christopher Walking fades out.)

( The referee takes the belt and raises it up in the air, before passing it off. He checks with both competitors and then calls for the bell. )

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

James Peters: AND THE FINAL MATCH OF PAIN FOR PRIDE 14 IS UNDERWAY! Malcolm Jones looks to defend the EAW World Championship, as well as his own career, against Drake King, who is fighting for New Eden and their future as a team. The stakes are so high in this match.

Persephone: I really can’t believe I live in a world where Rex McAllister isn’t in the Pain for Pride main event :will:

Rich Russillo: You’ve just got to come to grips with it because this is OUR main event, and I can’t wait. I really can’t wait, guys.

James Peters: We don’t have to wait anymore. Drake and Malcolm are nose to nose, and even though we’re not privy to the words they’re speaking to one another right now, you can tell that this situation is tense. The crowd is on edge, holding their collective breaths, to see which man will strike first.

Rich Russillo: IT’S MALCOLM! MALCOLM HAULS OFF AND PUNCHES DRAKE SQUARE IN THE MOUTH, AND TACKLES HIM TO THE MAT! HE RAINS PUNCHES DOWN ON TOP OF DRAKE, WHO TRIES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY AND GET TO THE ROPES! NO SOONER IS DRAKE UP, DOES MALCOLM CLOTHESLINE HIM RIGHT OVER THE TOP ROPE!

Persephone: MALCOLM THROWS HIMSELF OUT OF THE RING AND NAILS DRAKE WITH A HUGE UPPERCUT RIGHT AS HE STANDS UP! DRAKE IS ABSOLUTELY ROCKED BY THAT SHOT, AND HE TRIES TO RUN TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING, BUT MALCOLM IS ABLE TO GRAB A HOLD OF HIM AND POP HIM IN THE JAW WITH A PALM STRIKE! MALCOLM WITH A FOREARM SHOT TO THE KIDNEY AREA AS HE GRABS DRAKE AND THROWS HIM BACK INTO THE RING!

James Peters: MALCOLM DIVES BACK INTO THE RING AND SWINGS WILDLY, HOPING TO CONNECT WITH A LARIAT! DRAKE DUCKS BUT MALCOLM GRABS DRAKE’S ARM AND WHIPS HIM INTO THE ROPES! HE CATCHES DRAKE ON THE REBOUND AND THROWS HIM UP… HUGE BACK BODY DROP! DRAKE IS UP BUT MALCOLM WITH A CLOTHESLINE! DRAKE TRIES TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET, BUT MALCOLM’S NOT HAVING IT! ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE CONNECTS AND HE WASTES NO TIME TAKING DRAKE AND THROWING HIM INTO THE CORNER. FULL SPEED SPRINT FROM MALCOLM JONES AND THERE IS ‘SHAPOOWWWWWWW’!!!! THE SUPERMAN PUNCH CONNECTS ON A CORNERED DRAKE KING!

Rich Russillo: MALCOLM YANKS DRAKE FROM THE CORNER, SLAMS HIM INTO THE MAT WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG, AND HE GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

Persephone: DRAKE SHOOTS THE SHOULDER UP!

James Peters: Goddamn, what an opening!

Rich Russillo: Drake is desperately trying to get his bearings as Malcolm lifts off. Drake rises up and goes for Malcolm’s leg, but Malcolm shuts that down real quick with a stiff forearm to the jaw. Both men are up, and Malcolm looks for a lariat, but Drake ducks, and he is able to strike Malcolm in the gut with a knee! Malcolm is doubled over, and Drake goes for the leg! He tries to grab Malcolm in a heel hook submission, but Malcolm kicks the shit out of him! Drake has no other choice but to let go, and that gives Malcolm yet another opening! He goes for a clothesline, but Drake ducks! Drake catches Malcolm from behind and he slams him backwards with a textbook perfect German suplex!

Persephone: Malcolm clutches at the back of his head and it seems like WalMart Jesus is finally going to be able to get some offense in! Malcolm rises back up, but Drake wraps him around the waist again and there’s another German! The back of Malcolm’s head bounces off the canvas for a second straight time, and Drake gets up quickly. He stops Malcolm from standing up by kicking him in the head, and look at the arrogant grin that just crossed Drake’s face. I wouldn’t be smiling like that if I had been getting my ass beat just seconds ago :francis:

James Peters: Malcolm attempts to get to his feet, but Drake drives him back into the mat with a clubbing blow to the back of the head. It’s not going to be easy to keep the champ down tonight, though! Malcolm is back to his feet and Drake grabs him by the waist! Drake lifts Malcolm in the air and looks for another Ger-

Rich Russillo: COUNTER BY MALCOLM! HE FLIPS THROUGH AND FORCES DRAKE’S SHOULDERS TO THE MAT!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRR-

Persephone: Drake kicks out and both competitors are back to their feet! Drake with a boot to the face, and he grabs Malcolm by the hair! He slams Malcolm’s face off the turnbuckle, before turning him around and unloading an absolutely vicious chop to the chest! That shit just echoed across all of SoFi Stadium, and judging from the grimace on Malcolm’s face, he felt every single bit of it. 

James Peters: Drake quickly switches to closed fisted punches, hitting Malcolm so many times he forces him into a sitting position! He switches to stomps and remember, this is being contested under unsanctioned guidelines. The only reason we have a referee for this match is to count the pin. Drake continues to stomp away on Malcolm, making sure to strike him in the head a few times before he backs off.

Rich Russillo: Drake comes right back to Malcolm and he slaps him right across the face! Drake with another stomp to the chest of Malcolm, and now he’s dragging him out of the corner. Malcolm attempts to fight back, landing a punch to Drake’s ribcage, but Drake quickly hooks the leg… FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX! DRAKE BRIDGES UP FOR THE PIN!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

Persephone: Kick out by Malcolm Jones! How fucking shitty would it be to know that your career got ended because of a lame ass suplex :mjlol:

James Peters: :mjlol:

Rich Russillo: Drake doesn’t waste any time though. He has Malcolm grounded, and that’s a good thing for him. Malcolm is known for his speed, agility, and high-octane offense, and Drake knows this better than anyone. He wraps up Malcolm in a front facelock, and is absolutely looking to start wearing down the champion. Smart.

James Peters: Malcolm’s not the type to panic though. Even as Drake is maintaining control, Malcolm is staying calm. He tries to work his way up to his knees, but Drake tightens his hold. Malcolm reaches his leg out, checking to see where he’s at in the ring, but both men are right there in the middle. Malcolm gets his forearms under him and starts to push up, and this seems to aggravate Drake just a bit. Drake has no choice but to stand up, and Malcolm is able to punch Drake in the gut! He’s able to fire off several more shots, before Drake has no other choice but to let go!

Persephone: Malcolm is free! He grabs Drake and there’s an automic drop! Malcolm shakes off the effects of the front facelock, darts past Drake, and hits the ropes! He comes back with a nasty clothesline that turns Drake inside out! Malcolm jumps up… diving knee drop! He crushes Drake’s throat and goes for the cover, but Drake quickly rolls out of the way! Drake grabs a hold of the ropes to help himself up, but Malcolm with a kick to the head! He grabs Drake, wanting to throw him into the ropes, but Drake plants his feet and lands a right hand! Malcolm fires off another right hand! Drake goes for a second, but Malcolm blocks! Malcolm with a forearm!

Rich Russillo: Malcolm is able to land several more forearms, and that forces Drake against the ropes! Malcolm whips him across the ring and uses Drake’s momentum against him! Malcolm with a running knee lift, and Drake is sent flying across the ring! Drake lands in a heap, but look at Malcolm! Malcolm is waiting on him to get up and there goes Malcolm!!! ‘C-NOTE’!!! THE SPEAR CONNECTS!!! MALCOLM WITH THE COVER!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEE-

James Peters: DRAKE IS ABLE TO KICK OUT!!!!

Rich Russillo: You can tell by the look on Malcolm’s face that he knew in his heart that wasn’t going to be enough. Drake King is one of the toughest athletes to ever step foot through these doors. In his short career, he has already gone through some of the most vicious battles we have ever seen. Tonight will be no different.

Persephone: :will: Of course it won’t. This will drag on and on just to spite me.

James Peters: Malcolm helps Drake to his feet, and catches him with another forearm. He goes for a knee to the gut, but Drake rakes him across the eyes! Desperation move by Drake, but anything goes. I can’t really blame him for going for the eyes. Drake with a kick to Malcolm’s stomach and he hooks the arms! Drake is setting Malcolm up for ‘Ascension’… BUT MALCOLM IS ABLE TO COUNTER WITH A BACK BODY DROP!

Rich Russillo: Drake pops back up, but Malcolm is waiting! TORNADO DDT!!!! MALCOLM QUICKLY SCRAMBLES TO THE TOP ROPE AND THERE’S ‘THE RE-UP’!!! THE DIVING LEG DROP CONNECTS ACROSS THE THROAT OF DRAKE KING AND MALCOLM HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEE-

Persephone: DRAKE KICKS OUT!

James Peters: Malcolm knows not to get frustrated. It’s still pretty early in this match. Patience is going to be a virtue here tonight, not just for Malcolm, but for Drake as well. Both of these men compete at such a high level, that it is going to take a monumental effort for one of them to actually walk out of here tonight with a victory.

Rich Russillo: Drake has already crawled to the corner and gotten up, and Malcolm goes for an Irish whip! Drake blocks, reverses, and it’s Malcolm who finds himself thrown into the corner! Drake races forward and looks to drive his shoulder into Malcolm’s stomach, but Malcolm moves! Drake’s right shoulder slams into the ringpost, and Malcolm rolls him up from behind!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTT-

Persephone: DRAKE ROLLS THROUGH! BOTH MEN ARE UP! DRAKE HOOKS THE NECK OF MALCOLM JONES AND PULLS HIM INTO A SMALL PACKAGE PIN!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTT-

James Peters: NOPE! MALCOLM KICKS OUT!

Rich Russillo: Both men are back up and Drake lands a knee to Malcolm’s mid-section! Malcolm drops down a knee, and Drake with a kick to the ja-

Persephone: NO! Malcolm catches the foot and spins Drake around, leaping in the air, and looking for a cutter!

James Peters: NO! Drake shoves him off and Malcolm hits the ropes! Drake tries to catch him on the rebound but Malcolm ducks a clothesline! Malcolm hits the ropes again but this time he hooks his arms because Drake comes barreling towards him! Malcolm throws his feet up, catching Drake in the face, and sending him stumbling back! Malcolm pushes himself off the ropes and cuts Drake in half with another ‘C-NOTE’!!!!

Rich Russillo: NO! DRAKE MANAGES TO MOVE RIGHT BEFORE MALCOLM CONNECTS WITH THE SPEAR! MALCOLM SOMEHOW STOPS HIMSELF FROM FLYING THROUGH THE ROPES AND DRAKE QUICKLY ROLLS HIM UP!

Persephone: MALCOLM ROLLS RIGHT THROUGH!!! HE IS UP BEFORE DRAKE IS AND LAYS HIM OUT WITH A BASEMENT STYLE DROPKICK TO THE FACE! MALCOLM GOES FOR THE COVER BUT DRAKE POWERS OUT BEFORE A COUNT CAN BEGIN!

James Peters: Both men are back to their feet and they come face to face once again! Drake shoves Malcolm back, but Malcolm responds back with a disrespectful slap to the face that sends Drake sprawling onto the mat. Drake quickly rolls out of the ring and begins to pace around the ringside area.

Rich Russillo: You can cut the tension with a knife, folks. Malcolm is doing a great job of keeping his emotions in check as Drake tries to regroup. Drake comes to a stop right in front of our broadcast booth and he looks up at Malcolm Jones with nothing but absolute hatred in his eyes. Malcolm steps down on the bottom rope, inviting Drake to get back in the ring, but Drake shakes his head. He gets in on the opposite side away from Malcolm and Malcolm just shrugs and charges at Drake!

Persephone: They lock up again, but Malcolm is able to power Drake into the corner! Drake is forced into the corner and Malcolm starts choking him! Finally! I thought when they made this shit an unsanctioned match, it would be a much more lively affair. This technical wrestling bullshit needs to stop because this is not why I’m here.

James Peters: Malcolm finally lets off the choke and Drake is clutching at this throat! Malcolm looks for a right hand but somehow Drake manages to block the shot! He reverses positions with Malcolm, who now finds himself forced back into the corner, and Drake is able to fire off several forearms! Malcolm finally gets a shot in, and Drake backs off for a second, before rushing back in and firing off more forearms! Malcolm once again forces Drake back with a right hand, and he is able to push himself out of the corner! 

Rich Russillo: Drake catches Malcolm with a stiff kick to the stomach to halt his momentum, and then fires off several kicks to Malcolm’s legs and thighs! He drops down and clips Malcolm in the back of the knee! Drake slips around Malcolm and wraps him in a front facelock, lifting him in the air and bouncing the champ’s torso off the top rope! Malcolm is lifted high in the air and Drake drives him down into the mat! Very nice slingshot suplex by Drake!

Persephone: He elects not to go for a cover this time. He whips Malcolm into the ropes and catches him on the rebound with a superkick to the jaw! Malcolm stumbles into the corner and Drake with a running, leaping corner clothes! He drives his shoulder into Malcolm’s stomach over and over again until the champ is clutching his stomach and coughing!

James Peters: Every single shoulder Drake just hit served its purpose. He wants to drive as much air out of Malcolm’s lungs as possible and get him winded, and that’s exactly what he has done. Malcolm remains in the corner as Drake comes rushing towards him! Drake leaps in the air, looking for a monkey flip… BUT MALCOLM CATCHES HIM! DRAKE SHAKES HIS HEAD AND SCREAMS NO, BUT MALCOLM WITH A RUNNING SIT-OUT POWERBOMB!!!

Rich Russillo: Drake grips his lower back and that’s all Malcolm needs to see! He begins to stomp away on Drake’s back, and there is very little Drake can do right now! He tries to crawl towards the ropes, but Malcolm stomps him in the head, putting an immediate stop to that, and goes back to work on softening up Drake’s back.

Persephone: Malcolm lets up, but not for long. He grabs Drake by the hair and pulls him up. He hoists Drake up, and drives him back into the corner! Drake’s back slams into the turnbuckles, and Malcolm pops him in the face with a palm strike! He picks Drake up, runs him across the ring, and drives him into the opposite corner! Malcolm takes a step back, allows Drake to fall forward, and he is still grabbing at his lower back. Malcolm stomps away on that back a few more times before dropping to the mat and wrapping Drake up in a crossface! Malcolm has Drake in a crossface style submission, and thankfully Drake has nowhere to go! TAP OUT AND LET’S GO HOME!

James Peters: It’s definitely not that simple, Persephone! Drake has so much to fight for tonight. You can see in his eyes that isn’t about to give up, and even though Malcolm has Drake’s arm trapped, Drake is trying to get himself free! Malcolm wrenches further back on Drake’s neck, and ‘The Messiah’ reaches out, trying to find the ropes. It’s not like Malcolm would have to break, but at least Drake could hold on to something.

Rich Russillo: They’re not even close to the ropes though, James. Once again, these two men are positioned perfectly inside the middle of the ring. Drake tries to wrap his hand around Malcolm’s ankle, but once again, Malcolm just applies more pressure with that submission. Drake clenches his fist. You can tell this crossface is starting to wear him down, but he clearly doesn’t want to give up.

Persephone: I can’t speak for Drake, but Rex would never give up.

James Peters: Really just had to slip that in, didn’t you?

Persephone: Well this match fucking sucks. If Rex isn’t competing, I don’t care about whatever match I’m being forced to watch.

Rich Russillo: (mumbling) I really hope he gets drafted to another brand…

Persephone: The fuck did you say?

James Peters: LOOK! Drake has managed to get his arm free and he is trying to pull apart Malcolm’s hands! Drake latches onto Malcolm’s fingers and he starts to bend them back! Malcolm’s grip on the crossface is slipping, and Drake continues to force the issue! He is able to bend Malcolm’s index finger all the way back and Malcolm is finally forced to release the hold! Drake is freed and he rolls himself onto the apron of the ring!

Rich Russillo: Malcolm holds his hand and starts to shake it, doing what he can to get some feeling back into those fingers. He makes his way back towards Drake, who is now favoring his neck, as well as his lower back. He reaches through the ropes and pulls Drake back in by the hair. Malcolm wastes little time in picking Drake up and military pressing him in the air! He tosses Drake up, catches him, and turns that into a powerslam!

Persephone: Drake struggles into a sitting position but Malcolm gets him with a knee to the back of the neck! Drake slumps to the side, and Malcolm kicks him in the lower back several times! Malcolm quickly reaches down to pick up Drake, and after lifting him in the air, he slams him down across his knee with a back breaker! Malcolm does this a second time and he lets Drake fall to the wasteside! If he actually breaks Drake’s back tonight, this match may actually end up being worth the watch.

James Peters: Malcolm pulls Drake up, but Drake is able to catch Malcolm with several elbow shots to the head! Drake gets back to his feet and looks for a forearm, but Malcolm blocks! Malcolm grabs Drake by the head and knees him in the gut, before picking him up and driving him back into the corner! Malcolm is the one in charge this time, and he is the one driving the air out of Drake’s lungs! He continues to nail him with those shoulders to the gut!

Rich Russillo: Drake with a knee though! Drake is able to bring his knee up and catch Malcolm in the jaw! Drake pushes Malcolm back and whips him into the corner! Malcolm is the one forced into the corner now and Drake goes for a shoulder but Malcolm moves! For the second time in this match, Drake’s right shoulder connects with the ringpost and Malcolm with hammer-fisted shots to that limb! Drake is forced to his knees and Malcolm with several brutal knees to Drake’s shoulder now! Drake tries to pull himself through the ropes, but Malcolm goes for the hair! 

Persephone: He lifts Drake up, but Drake is able to wiggle free! Malcolm turns around and Drake with a jumping knee strike! Malcolm is rocked and Drake runs the ropes! Drake leaps on the middle rope and he is able to bring Malcolm down with a springboard back elbow! With Malcolm down, Drake gets a spike in adrenaline! He quickly scrambles to the top rope and THERE’S A PHOENIX SPLASH! DRAKE LANDS THE PHOENIX SPLASH AND HOOKS THE LEGS FOR A COVER!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

James Peters: MALCOLM POWERS OUT!

Rich Russillo: Drake stays on the attack and kicks Malcolm down to the mat as he tries to get up! Drake with several vicious stomps now and he runs back towards the ropes! Drake leaps onto the ropes and gets himself set… FROG SPLASH!!!! DRAKE WITH A FROG SPLASH AND HE HOOKS THE LEGS FOR A COVER!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTHHHHHRRR-

Persephone: Sigh.

James Peters: It didn’t appear that Drake got all of that frog splash. He overshot Malcolm just a bit, which is why Malcolm was able to kick out. Drake looks a little frustrated by this, but Malcolm’s career is literally on the line. 

Rich Russillo: :lupe: Well Drake’s frustrated look has turned into an outright scowl and he rolls out of the ring and goes to the outside. Drake is digging under the ring and he pulls out a black bag!

Persephone: :drakelike: We know what that means!!!!

James Peters: Drake heads over to Malcolm, but Malcolm pops up and nails him with a right hand! Drake staggers back and Malcolm is back to his feet! He hits Drake with another right hand, and another! Drake is forced back against the ropes and he loses his grip on the bag! Malcolm with a forearm shot to Drake and he brings him crashing to the mat with a jawbreaker!

Persephone: AND THE CHAMP HAS THE THUMBTACKS! MALCOLM JUST DUMPED AN ENTIRE BAG OF THUMBTACKS INTO THE RING AND SURELY THIS ISN’T GOING TO GO WELL FOR DRAKE

Rich Russillo: Malcolm forces Drake to his feet and hits him with several forearm shots in succession! Drake is forced back against the ropes and Malcolm nearly takes his head off with a massive uppercut! Drake’s head snaps back and Malcolm grabs him, drilling him into the pile of thumbtacks with a DDT! Drake is sprawled out on the mat and Malcolm kicks him over, going for the cover!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

James Peters: Kick out by, Drake! With the future of New Eden being on the line, it is going to take so much more than a DDT into a pile of thumbtacks to put Drake King away. We have watched this man fight in some of the most barbaric and horrific matches in EAW history. Whether you agree with his teachings or not, you have to respect how tough of a competitor he has proven to be.

Persephone: I don’t have to respect shit. If this little shit would have just taken the 60-day suspension and went about his merry way, then Rex would have gotten his fourth straight Pain for Pride main event, and would be well on his way to becoming the new EAW Champion.

Rich Russillo: Yeah, I can see why you would prefer that over his actually scenario this year of losing to Cameron Ella Ava on Day 2.

Persephone: …

James Peters: :lupe: Malcolm is down on the mat beside Drake and working over the arm of the Grand Rampage winner. Malcolm is bending the fingers back and working the wrist, and he bends Drake’s arm all the way back. He places Drake’s palm on those thumbtacks, leaps up, and stomps down on Drake’s hand!

Rich Russillo: :yikes: I’m sure that was painful.

Persephone: Drake is certainly writhing around in agony. He clutches his hand to his chest but look at Malcolm! MALCOLM HAS A HANDFUL OF THUMBTACKS AND HE SHOVES THEM IN DRAKE’S MOUTH! SUPERKICK TO THE SEATED DRAKE KING! DRAKE IS CHOKING THE THUMBTACKS AND MALCOLM FOLLOWS UP WITH A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS! MALCOLM HOOKS THE LEG!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

James Peters: Another kick out from Drake! 

Rich Russillo: Malcolm retaliates from the kick out by absolutely battering Drake with a forearm, causing him to spit out a mouthful of thumbtacks! Malcolm drives Drake’s face into the mat as he gets back to his feet, and he stomps down on the back of Drake’s head! Drake’s face is crushed against those thumbtacks and Malcolm snatches him up by the hair! Malcolm with his signature Irish whip into the corner followed by a running knee! That’s called ‘Water Whip’ ladies and gents, and Malcolm backs up, motioning for Drake to come out of the corner!

James Peters: Drake stumbles out of the corner and Malcolm takes off running! C-NOTE! HE CATCHES DRAKE WITH A SPEAR THAT DRIVES BOTH MEN TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! Wow! Malcolm literally folded Drake in half like an accordion and the force of that spear sent both men through the ropes!

Persephone: Malcolm is the first to recover and he’s quick to lay into Drake! He punches Drake several times in the head before grabbing him up and running him headfirst into the steel ring steps! Malcolm fires away with several vicious kicks and clubbing blows, and Drake is covering up in an attempt to defend himself. :mjlol2: Imagine thinking Malcolm would ever stop at this point after all the shit Drake has done to him and Keisha?

Rich Russillo: I’ll never forget the horror of hearing Malcolm reveal Keisha is pregnant right before Minerva could chunk her off the stage.

James Peters: This whole thing between Malcolm and Drake has gotten so far out of hand, which is why we find ourselves in this position tonight. We are witnessing two men go to war over their respective futures. Either Malcolm Jones loses his career, or Drake loses New Eden. There is so much on the line. I really can’t stress this enough.

Persephone: Are you done rambling?

James Peters: :skip:

Persephone: Cool. Malcolm is pulling apart the ring steps down, and he looks to do further damage to Drake. He picks up the steps and slams them down across Drake’s back! Drake eats another shot to the back and then one to the skull! I think that blow to the head knocked him stupid, because he looks to be a bit dazed at the moment.

Rich Russillo: Malcolm tosses the steps down, snatches Drake up, and throws him back into the ring! Malcolm doesn’t follow him in. Instead, he starts to dig under the ring and look for weapons. Malcolm pulls out a table! He pulls out a pane of glass! He pulls out several lighttubes!

Persephone: Is that a plastic kid’s bat? OMG IT IS! AND IT’S BEEN PIECED WITH NAILS! I DON’T KNOW WHAT KIND OF SICK FUCK MADE THAT WEAPON BUT I WANT TO BONE THEM RIGHT NOW!

Rich Russillo: I made it.

Persephone: nvm.

James Peters: :mjlol:

Persephone: THIS MATCH HAS FINALLY PICKED UP AND I’M READY! MALCOLM IS BACK IN THE RING AND HE SLAMS THAT BAT UPSIDE DRAKE’S HEAD! 

Rich Russillo: NO! DRAKE DOVE TO THE SIDE AND MALCOLM MISSED ENTIRELY! DRAKE IS ON THE APRON NOW AND HE QUICKLY GETS UP! MALCOLM IS COMING RIGHT AT HIM, AND DRAKE DIVES BETWEEN THE ROPES AND CATCHES MALCOLM IN THE STOMACH! MALCOLM STAGGERS BACK AND DRAKE LEAPS OVER THE ROPES! SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB INTO THE THUMBTACKS BUT DRAKE DOESN’T MAKE THE COVER! INSTEAD HE RUNS TOWARDS THE GLASS, SETS IT UP IN THE CORNER, AND HE GRABS MALCOLM!

James Peters: BUT MALCOLM STILL HAS THE BAT! HE SLAMS IT INTO DRAKE’S RIBCAGE AND THOSE NAILS PIERCE THE MESSIAH’S SKIN! DRAKE WAS COMPLETELY CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THAT! MALCOLM DRIVES THE BAT DOWN ACROSS DRAKE’S BAT!!! MALCOLM JERKS DRAKE UP BY THE HAIR AND HE SENDS HIM TOWARDS THE GLASS!!!!!

Persephone: DRAKE SOMEHOW STOPS HIMSELF FROM CRASHING FACE FIRST THROUGH THE GLASS! HE TURNS AROUND RIGHT AS MALCOLM FLIES TOWARDS HIM! ‘C-NOTE’! ‘C-NOTE’! ‘C-NOTE’! MALCOLM WITH THE SPEAR!!!!!

Rich Russillo: AND HE SPEARS HIMSELF RIGHT THROUGH THE GLASS BECAUSE DRAKE SIDE-STEPPED HIM! MALCOLM JUST WENT HEADFIRST THROUGH THE GLASS AND HE COLLAPSES IN A HEAP IN THE CORNER! DRAKE QUICKLY PULLS MALCOLM OUT OF THE CARNAGE AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEE-

James Peters: MALCOLM POPS THE SHOULDER UP!

Persephone: DRAKE GOES FOR THE BAT AND HE IS QUICK TO SHOVE IT INTO MALCOLM’S THROAT!!!! BLOOD IS POURING FROM MALCOLM’S NECK NOW AS DRAKE PRESSES THAT BAT FURTHER INTO MALCOLM’S THROAT! THE CHAMP GRABS THE BAT AND ATTEMPTS TO WRESTLE IT FROM DRAKE, BUT ALL HE DOES IS TEAR HIS OWN HANDS UP IN THE PROCESS! DRAKE LETS UP FOR A SECOND BUT ONLY SO HE CAN RAISE THE BAT ABOVE HIS HEAD AND BRING IT DOWN ACROSS MALCOLM’S FACE! YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: DRAKE IS BEATING MALCOLM’S FACE IN! HE JABS THE NAILS INTO MALCOLM’S FOREHEAD AND BEGINS TO MOVE THEM BACK AND FORTH! HE IS RIPPING MALCOLM’S SKIN OPEN AND BLOOD IS JUST POURING DOWN MALCOLM’S FACE RIGHT NOW LIKE A RIVER!

Persephone: I WANT TO BATHE IN IT!

James Peters: MALCOLM HAS BEEN REDUCED TO A GLORIFIED BLOOD FAUCET AT THE MOMENT, AND DRAKE FINALLY TOSSES THE BAT TO THE SIDE. HE DRAGS MALCOLM OVER TO THE GLASS AND SLAMS THE CHAMP’S FACE DOWN INTO IT! DRAKE GETS TO HIS FEET AND PULLS MALCOLM UP WITH HIM! DRAKE HOOKS MALCOLM’S ARMS AND THIS TIME HE IS ABLE TO HIT ‘ASCENSION’!!! THE PEDIGREE CONNECTS AND DRAKE GOES FOR THE COVER!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Rich Russillo: MALCOLM JONES KICKS OUT!

Persephone: THIS TIME DRAKE IS SHOCKED! HE CAN’T BELIEVE MALCOLM KICKED OUT OF THAT AND HE DOESN’T LOOK VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT!

Drake King: (off-mic) :francis: You probably should have stayed down.

James Peters: I think this match is about to reach a whole other level. Drake King has locked himself in and is willing to do whatever it takes to end the career and the title reign of Malcolm Jones. Malcolm, for his part, dominated the early parts of this match. He really took Drake to task, and now finds himself in a fight for his life!

Persephone: :kellycry:

Rich Russillo: Drake slowly rises to his feet and looks down at Malcolm. He kicks him in the face a few times, before making his way over to the table that Malcolm brought into the ring. He takes his time, setting the table up in the corner, and then goes back over to the champ.

James Peters: Drake props Malcolm up in that corner, who is clearly still feeling the effects of all the abuse he has taken the last few minutes of this match. Drake shoves his boot under Malcolm’s chin and starts to choke him. Malcolm’s hands snake their way around Drake’s leg, but he is unable to muscle ‘The Messiah’ off. Drake grabs onto the ropes for a little bit more leverage, and that’s not helping those wounds that were placed there courtesy of the bat.

Persephone: Did you see that blood squirt out??

Rich Russillo: Drake releases the choke and draws Malcolm out of the corner. He drops an elbow down across Malcolm’s throat and steps on it! He continues choking Malcolm with his foot until he deems Malcolm’s had enough, and now Drake is down on the mat beside his opponent. Drake hooks the legs and pulls Malcolm up into a modified version of the camel clutch. Drake has his fingers jammed in Malcolm’s mouth, pulling it apart, and he switches to the nose. Malcolm is in a lot of trouble right now, as Drake continues to torture him. Drake switches to one grip and grabs a glass shard from the mat. He takes that piece of glass and jams it right into Malcolm’s temple :damn:

James Peters: Malcolm has a piece of glass jutting from the side of his head now and Drake releases the camel clutch! Malcolm’s face smacks into the mat and Drake lets out a cruel laugh.

Persephone: DRAKE IS GOING FOR THE LIGHT TUBES!!! 

Rich Russillo: DRAKE PLACES TWO OF THOSE LIGHT TUBES ACROSS MALCOLM’S BACK BEFORE HE SCOOTS UP THE ROPES! DRAKE GETS HIMSELF IN POSITION AND DIVES OFF, LANDING ON TOP OF THEM AND SENDING GLASS EXPLODING EVERYWHERE!! BLOOD IS OOZING FROM MALCOLM’S BACK NOW BUT TO HIS CREDIT HE IS TRYING TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET.

James Peters: DRAKE HAS TWO MORE LIGHT TUBES AND HE SMASHES THEM AGAINST EITHER SIDE OF MALCOLM’S SKULL!!! MALCOLM FALLS TO THE SIDE AND DRAKE QUICKLY GOES FOR A COVER!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEE-

Persephone: THE TORTURE PORN CONTINUES :blessed: :blessed: :blessed:

Rich Russillo: That it does and Drake almost looks at a loss for what to do. He has absolutely destroyed Malcolm these last few minutes but he can’t seem to snuff the fight out of the champ. Love him or hate him, Malcolm doesn’t know the meaning of the word quit. He absolutely will fight tonight until his very last breath.

James Peters: Drake grabs another discarded glass shard and he jabs it into the top of Malcolm’s head. Malcolm’s survival instincts kick in and he starts hammering away at Drake’s ribs. Remember, Drake had dozens of nails driven into his ribs earlier in the match when Malcolm introduced the plastic bat, and no doubt Drake is sore from that. Malcolm lands another decisive shot, which causes the glass to fall from Drake’s hands and Malcolm scoops it up, and he stabs Drake in the leg!!!!

Persephone: Drake’s leg buckles, and he drops to a knee! Malcolm takes the glass and he jams it into Drake’s right shoulder! Drake’s shoulder was nearly dislocated twice tonight thanks to unintentional collisions with the ringpost! Drake’s cries of pain are like music to my ears and Malcolm nearly knocks them both unconscious with a devastating headbutt! Both men are sprawled on the blood soaked canvas now, and it’s really taking everything in me to keep myself calm. If there is something I have learned this season, it’s the sight of blood and human remains really does something special to me.

Rich Russillo: :lupe:

James Peters: That’s actually pretty terrifying and I’m not sure how I’m supposed to feel, but nevertheless, we still have a match going on.

Persephone: :blessed: AND FOR ONCE, I’M HAPPY ABOUT IT!

Rich Russillo: :blessed:

James Peters: Drake King is the first man to sit up and he scans the ring! His eyes land on the bag that had all those thumbtacks in it! He quickly crawls towards the bag, meanwhile Malcolm has rolled onto the apron and dropped down onto the floor. Drake doesn’t notice that Malcolm isn’t even in the ring and he can’t believe it! Drake wildly looks around for Malcolm, who is crouched down near the ring steps and finally Drake sees him!

Malcolm Jones: :adpeek:

Drake King: //media.giphy.com/media/WoF3yfYupTt8mHc7va/giphy.gif

Persephone: DRAKE GOES TO GRAB MALCOLM THROUGH THE ROPES BUT MALCOLM JUST SLAMMED SOMETHING AGAINST DRAKE’S FACE! DRAKE FALLS BACK IN DRAMATIC FASHION AND MALCOLM HOLDS UP A MOTHERFUCKING WOODEN SLAB THAT SOMEONE GLUE METAL FORKS TOO! LMFAOOOOO PEOPLE ARE NUTS! I SWEAR TO GAWD! WHO THE FUCK TAKES THE TIME TO MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THAT???

[ SCREEN BAR – EARLIER THAT DAY ]

( It’s bright and early Sunday morning, and no one has arrived at SoFi Stadium yet other than crew members and stagehands to prepare for day three. Voltage announcer Persephone Tsitsipas is seen sitting cross-legged on the floor down at ringside. She reaches to her side and holds up a fork, begins to slatter it with Delo Monpox, the strongest glue in the world. How she got her hands on that, we may never know, but she coats the bottom of the fork and places it right in the center of a group of other forks that have been bonded to a wooden plank, their prongs positioned to where they are sticking up. Persephone holds it in place for a few seconds so it can dry and she sits back, admiring handiwork. )

Persephone: :drakelike:

( She looks around and nonchalantly slips it under the ring before gathering up her materials and walking off.)

( The camera cuts to the broadcast for a brief moment where Rich and James are both staring at Persephone. )

Persephone: :mjgrin:

James Peters: MALCOLM IS BACK INTO THE RING AND HE TOSSES THE WOODEN PLANK DOWN ON THE GROUND! HE QUICKLY SCOOPS DRAKE UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION AND LOOKS TO SLAM HIM DOWN ONTO THE FORKS!

Rich Russillo: DRAKE FIRES BACK WITH PUNCHES TO THE HEAD! HE FOLLOWS UP WITH A HEADBUTT! MALCOLM HAD HIS HEAD BUSTED OPEN EARLIER IN THE MATCH AND NOW FRESH BLOOD IS POURING FROM THOSE WOUNDS! MALCOLM IS FORCED TO SET DRAKE DOWN, AND DRAKE FIRES BACK WITH A LARIAT THAT SENDS MALCOLM ONTO THE CANVAS! DRAKE HOOKS THE TIGHTS AS HE BRINGS MALCOLM UP, AND HE TRIES TO GET HIM IN THE AIR! MALCOLM AGAIN PUNCHES DRAKE IN THE RIBS! DRAKE LOSES HIS GRIP ON MALCOLM AND MALCOLM GRABS DRAKE BY THE HEAD AND DRIVES DRAKE FACE FIRST INTO HIS KNEE!

Persephone: MALCOLM SLIPS BEHIND DRAKE AND SENDS HIM CRASHING THROUGH THE TABLE IN THE CORNER WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX!!!! MALCOLM QUICKLY PULLS DRAKE FROM THE BROKEN PIECES OF WOOD, AND THIS TIME HE IS ABLE TO BRING HIM UP WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT! MALCOLM HOLDS DRAKE UP IN THE AIR, LETTING ALL THE BLOOD RUSH TO HIS HEAD, AND DROPS HIM INTO THE BED OF FORKS VIA BRAINBUSTER!!! DRAKE IS A BLOODY MESS RIGHT NOW!!!! :ciampa:

James Peters: MALCOLM SENSES THAT VICTORY IS NEAR! HE DRAGS DRAKE OVER TO THE CORNER AND PROPS HIM INTO A SITTING POSITION! MALCOLM GRABS THE FORK BED AND PLACES IT BETWEEN DRAKE’S LEGS :mjgrin:

Persephone: OHHHH MYYYYYYYYYY GOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!! SDFLJSD FLJSDF~~!!!! RUNNING BASEMENT STYLE DROPKICK! MALCOLM DRIVES THE FORKS INTO DRAKE’S DICK AND CHEST!!!! :blessed:

Rich Russillo: MALCOLM GRABS THE FORK BOARD AND LAYS IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! THE THROWS DRAKE DOWN ON TOP OF IT, MAKING SURE THE MAN’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN, AND HE CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE! MALCOLM JONES IS ABOUT TO SAVE HIS CAREER, RETAIN THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, AND BREAK UP NEW EDEN FOR GOOD!!!! HE LOOKS TO SKIES, LETS OUT A ‘WOO’ IN HONOR OF POP SMOKE, AND HE FLIES!!!! ‘FIVE STAR SWAG SPLASH’!!!!! HE HIT EVERY SINGLE BIT OF IT DRIVING DRAKE’S LOWER BACK INTO THE FORKS! DRAKE’S BODY SHAKING AND CONVULSING, BUT MALCOLM DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK! HE HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

James Peters: DRAKE KING WITH A SPIRITED KICK OUT! THE LAST MESSIAH IS NOT DONE YET!!!!

Persephone: Malcolm just falls back and covers his face with his hands! He thought for sure he had the match won, and really, so did I. Drake literally just died several fucking times and like a cockroach, he won’t go away. I really don’t know what Malcolm can do right now but he’s gunna have to figure something out.

Rich Russillo: Malcolm sits up, shaking his head in absolute disbelief that Drake is still alive in this match. He drops out of the ring and goes looking for another weapon. Malcolm pulls several items out from under the ring but I think he’s finally found what he’s looking for :lupe:

James Peters: That’s a chair with razor blades sticking out of it :lupe:

Persephone: YES IT IS AND I DID NOT MAKE THAT!

Rich Russillo: This seems to be a desperation tactic on the part of Malcolm Jones :lupe:. He climbs back into the ring and stands over Drake. Drake has been completely pulverized thanks to a fork board, among the other abuse he has taken tonight, but not even Malcolm’s finisher could keep him from kicking out. New Eden and their agenda means so much to Drake, and he is going to do whatever he can to stay alive right now.

James Peters: Well it’s looking like New Eden’s reign of terror is about to come to an end. Malcolm has placed his foot under Drake’s ribcage area and has kicked him over onto his stomach. With his foot on Drake’s neck, Malcolm raises the chair in the air and brings it crashing down across Drake’s back! Malcolm heartlessly rakes the chair down Drake’s back, slicing it into pieces :lupe:

Persephone: :ciampa: Oh my god. Some of Drake’s flesh is hanging off. That is fucking erotic.

Rich Russillo: Malcolm rips the chair out of Drake’s back and he slams it down on him once again!!!!

James Peters: I really don’t like the way Drake’s body just bounced off the canvas. That wasn’t natural. Drake has so much blood pooling around his body right now and Malcolm throws down the chair. You know in his heart that he doesn’t believe Drake has suffered enough, but this is about winning the match. Malcolm wants to stay as calm and as collected as he possibly can, given what’s on the line for him.

Persephone: :usure:?? This man just snatched Drake by the hair and he is rubbing Drake’s face in a pool of his own blood! Malcolm is making sure Drake understands that this is now a fight he can’t win! Holding Drake’s hair, Malcolm begins to beat his face into the canvas! He’s going for the knockout win! Drake King is borderline unconscious right now, and there’s nothing he can do to defend himself! Malcolm slams Drake’s head into the blood one more time before grabbing the last remaining light tube! He opens Drake’s mouth, forces him to bite the light tube, and THERE’S THE ‘WOO WALK’!!! THAT LIGHT TUBE JUST SHATTERED IN DRAKE’S MOUTH THANKS TO THE CURB STOMP AND MALCOLM KICKS DRAKE ONTO HIS BACK AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

………………………..………………………..………………………..

James Peters: THIS CROWD JUST CAME UNGLUED BECAUSE DRAKE KING GOT HIS FUCKING SHOULDER UP! BY ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES THAT SHOULD HAVE ENDED THE MATCH RIGHT THERE! DRAKE KING CONTINUES TO HANG ON DESPITE HAVING SOME ABSOLUTELY HEINOUS THINGS DONE TO HIM AND MALCOLM JONES IS TRULY IN SHOCK RIGHT NOW!

Rich Russillo: :lupe: Guys, I just don’t know. I don’t know how Drake can continue this match. He shouldn’t have kicked out of that, in my opinion. He should have just let Malcolm make the pin. I know that New Eden is on the line, but all three of them will continue their careers in EAW no matter what if Malcolm wins the match. It’s not worth it for someone as talented as Drake King to take this kind of punishment.

Persephone: I mean, let him take the fucking beating. All of us want to see this little weirdo get his comeuppance, even if we don’t necessarily give one iota of a fuck about Malcolm Jones either. This match really has no other way of ending other than someone actually fucking dying.

James Peters: And you’re just so fucking excited about that, aren’t you? You want to see someone lose their life inside that ring because you have some weird, perverse fucking blood fetish.

Persephone: I mean, you say that like it’s a bad thing, and I’m really not about to show an ounce of remorse because I like fucking chaos.

Rich Russillo: With no other option, Malcolm has grabbed that chair again. He lays it flat in the middle of the ring, and those blood soaked razorblades that have already done so much damage to Drake King are practically fucking glowing underneath the SoFi Stadium lights. Drake is lifeless as Malcolm drags him to the chair and rests his head on it. The 2021 Grand Rampage winner and reigning Elitist of the Year is about to suffer an absolutely horrific defeat tonight. This could very well spell the end of his career, not just New Eden.

James Peters: Malcolm has scooped up two handfuls of broken glass and thumbtacks and he sprinkles them across the head of Drake King. He doesn’t show any ounce of guilt or remorse as he does this, and I’m not sure if I can even watch this. Malcolm gets out of the ring and he snatches one of the spare chairs we have here at ringside. He folds it up before getting back into the ring, and he looks up at the sky. We know Malcolm Jones is a man of actual faith, not fake faith like Drake King is, and I’m sure that he’s asking the Lord he believes in to forgive him for what he’s about to do.

Persephone: CONCHAIRTO!!!!!

Rich Russillo: MALCOLM HIT THE MAT! MALCOLM HIT THE MAT!

James Peters: DRAKE MOVED AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND AND MALCOLM SEEMS SHOCKED! HE REGROUPS AND SWINGS THE CHAIR, BUT DRAKE! DRAKE WITH EVERY LAST FUCKING OUNCE OF ENERGY HE HAS DIVES OUT OF THE RING!

Persephone: MAN! I can’t believe he fucking escaped! I wanted to see his brain matter splattered all over the ring :noah: I’m so fucking sick of people denying me everything I want in this life. I just want Rex McAllister, short non-Rex wrestling matches, and death. WHAT’S WRONG WITH THAT??

Rich Russillo: Malcolm slams the chair down out of frustration and climbs out of the ring! He makes a beeline towards Drake, who’s in the process of pulling himself up with the ring skirt, and looks to absolutely bulldoze him over! Drake with a desperation drop toehold, but at least he manages to bring Malcolm down! Drake blindly reaches under the ring looking for something, anything… and WHAT IN THE EVER LOVING FUCK???

Persephone: OMG

James Peters: ….

Crowd: ( gasps in shock and horror )

Rich Russillo: That is a fucking flail. Like honest to Gawd, that shit doesn’t look like a Hollywood prop either.

Persephone: MALCOLM HAS RECOVERED BUT HE DOESN’T SEE WHAT DRAKE HAS IN HIS HANDS! MALCOLM LOOKING TO TACKLE DRAKE TO THE GROUND BUT DRAKE SWINGS THAT FLAIL AND IT KNOCKS MALCOLM UPSIDE THE HEAD! MALCOLM’S FACE IS FROZEN IN SHOCK AS HE FALLS TO THE GROUND! DRAKE RAISES THAT THING IN THE AIR AND STARTS TO BEAT MALCOLM WITH IT! BLOOD SPLATTERS EVERYWHERE AS DRAKE CONNECTS WITH MALCOLM’S NOSE! HOLY SHIT THIS IS EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER FUCKING WANTED IN A SNUFF MATCH!

James Peters: THIS IS NOT A SNUFF MATCH, YOU IDIOT! THIS IS UNSANCTIONED BUT THIS IS TAKING THINGS TO FAR! MALCOLM DOESN’T FUCKING DESERVE THIS! SOMEONE NEEDS TO STOP DRAKE RIGHT NOW!

Persephone: YOU GO STOP HIM YOU PUSSY! BOTH OF THESE EGOMANIACS WANTED THIS STUPID MATCH JUST SO THEY COULD DO THIS TO EACH OTHER! WHY ARE YOU GETTING SO FUCKING OFFENDED??

James Peters: Because… because this just isn’t right. It’s just not fucking right. This is not wrestling. This is fucking barbaric.

Rich Russillo: Drake stops his assault and throws Malcolm back into the ring. Malcolm’s face is covered in blood and I truly don’t know whether he is conscious or not. I really don’t. If you look around at this sold-out crowd, who have been treated to one of the best Pain for Pride’s we have ever had, they have turned their back on this match. Malcolm Jones has never been a fan favorite. People can’t fucking stand what they don’t understand, but at the end of the day, he’s a human being with so much God given talent and it shouldn’t be taken away like this. Drake King is sick. He is a fucking sick human being and some day, all of this is going to come back around on him.

James Peters: Just pin him, Drake, and get it over with. I can’t watch this shit anymore.

( The camera pans around SoFi Stadium and sure enough, the majority of the fans are showing solidarity, turning their backs on Drake King. Drake is standing in the middle of the ring, over Malcolm Jones’ battered and blood soaked body, and holding the flail in his hand. Blood drips from, adding to the already stained canvas. It’s not lost on Drake that the fans have turned on him. His absolute disgust with all of them is written on his face. He raises the flail in the air and places his foot across Malcolm’s face. )

Drake King: (off-mic) Count. Now.

( The referee hesitates, but what other choice does he have? His only job in this unsanctioned match is to declare someone the winner. )

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

( The fans who have remained facing the ring erupt in cheers, which brings the rest of SoFi Stadium alive. )

James Peters: MALCOLM JONES WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT! MALCOLM JONES IS NOT DONE! HE GOT HIS SHOULDER UP AND I CAN’T FUCKING BELIEVE IT! HE IS THAT DAMN GOOD! HE IS THAT FUCKING TOUGH! HE IS SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN BUILT FOR AN ABSOLUTE FUCKING WAR!

Persephone: HOW? HOW COULD HE WITHSTAND THAT AND STILL KICK OUT?? I’M ABOUT TO LOSE MY GODDAMN MIND!

Rich Russillo: I have no words.

James Peters: I don’t think it’s quite hit Drake that he has more work to do. He has a blank stare on his face and he is looking down at Malcolm, who is slumped on his side, with his left shoulder up.

( The camera zooms in and cuts to a close up of the battered and bloody face of Drake the Redeemer. There is absolutely no emotion shown in his eyes, and that’s an absolutely chilling site. This image on the videotron has brought silence over the crowd. )

Rich Russillo: Drake King looks like he is about to do something absolutely no one of us want to see. He’s leaving the ring and I don’t even want to know what he’s looking for. I really fucking don’t.

Persephone: :drakelike: I do. I hope it gives us the grisly ending to this match we all fucking deserve.

( Drake has reached under the ring and the crowd gasps as he pulls a barbed wire wrapped table laced with explosives out from underneath the ring. )

James Peters: Oh boy.

Rich Russillo: Drake is careful to get that table back in the ring and as he unfolds it, he makes sure to place it right over Malcolm’s badly beaten body. This match isn’t going to end well. It isn’t going to end well whatsoever.

Persephone: Well probably not because if that table wasn’t sinister enough, Drake has placed the razorblade chair on top of it.

James Peters: Drake’s pulled Malcolm out from underneath the table and I really don’t know what he has in mind. Malcolm’s body is limp, and Drake, due to his own blood loss and fatigue, is struggling to get Malcolm up. Drake manages to get part of Malcolm’s body on the ta-

Rich Russillo: MALCOLM WITH A HEADBUTT THAT ABSOLUTELY STUNS DRAKE KING! MALCOLM WITH ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER! HE SOMEHOW FOUND THE ENERGY TO FEND OFF DRAKE AND PUT A HALT TO THE MESSIAH’S NEFARIOUS INTENTIONS, AND HE IS ABLE TO CRACK DRAKE ACROSS THE JAW WITH A FOREARM! MALCOLM COMES OFF THE TABLE NOW AND SHOVES IT TO THE SIDE, AND HE PEPPERS DRAKE WITH ENOUGH FOREARMS THAT DRAKE IS FORCED BACK AGAINST THE ROPES! MALCOLM WITH A BURST OF ENERGY FROM OUT OF ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE AND THERE’S ‘SHAPOOWWWWWWW’!!!!! THE SUPERMAN PUNCH ALMOST SENDS DRAKE KING FLYING OUT OF THE RING BUT MALCOLM JERKS HIM BACK IN!

Persephone: KICK TO THE GUT! MALCOLM HOOKS THE ARMS AND THERE’S ‘SHAKE THE ROOM’!!! THE CANADIAN DESTROYER CONNECTS ON DRAKE AND THAT SHOULD BE IT!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

James Peters: IT ABSOLUTELY IS NOT ENOUGH!!!! DRAKE SOMEHOW MANAGED TO RAISE HIS SHOULDER UP! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THESE MEN CAN CONTINUE KICKING OUT OF THESE PINS!

Persephone: :gladbron: SOMEONE REALLY WILL HAVE TO DIE IN ORDER FOR IT TO ALL COME TO AN END!!!!!

Rich Russillo: MALCOLM IS SLAMMING HIS FIST AGAINST THE MAT IN ABSOLUTE FRUSTRATION! HE’S IN DISBELIEF! HE LOOKS UP AT THE SKY, AND EVEN AS THESE FANS CHEER HIM ON AND URGE HIM TO FINISH THIS MATCH, YOU CAN SEE THAT HE IS WILLING HIMSELF TO GET UP. MALCOLM FINALLY FORCES HIMSELF UP AND HE STAGGERS OVER TO THE ROPES. DRAKE HAS NOT MOVED SINCE HE GOT HIS SHOULDER UP AND MALCOLM KNOWS THAT IT’S NOW OR NEVER! HE CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE AND GETS HIMSELF SET. THIS IS IT! THIS IS FUCKING IT!!!!

James Peters: ‘MEET THE WOO’!!!! THE DIVING 360 ELBOW OFF THE TOP ROPE! MALCOLM WITH AN ABSOLUTELY PICTURE PERFECT MOVE FROM THE TOP ROPE! THIS IS THE END OF NEW EDEN AS WE KNOW IT!!!!

Persephone: NOT IT’S NOT! HOLY SHIT! HE MISSED! HE FUCKING MISSED! DRAKE MOVED OUT OF THE WAY, BARELY GETTING CLIPPED WITH THAT, AND MALCOLM CRASHED HARD INTO THE MAT! HE LANDS ON HIS ELBOW AND I HEARD IT POP! THAT ELBOW MIGHT BE SHATTERED! HE LANDED IN THAT ALL DEBRIS! BLOOD IS POURING FROM HIS ARM AND MALCOLM IMMEDIATELY STARTS TO FAVOR HIS ELBOW! HOLY SHIT! HE CALLED HIS SHOT AND IT DIDN’T WORK! IT DIDN’T WORK!

Rich Russillo: NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! DRAKE SEES MALCOLM IS INJURED AND HE LUNGES FOR THE CHAIR! HE TAKES THE RAZORBLADE CHAIR TO MALCOLM’S ARM!!!! MALCOLM IS DEFENSELESS, AND DRAKE STRIKES THE ARM WITH THE CHAIR AGAIN! DRAKE THROWS IT BACK ON TOP OF THE TABLE AND HE HAULS MALCOLM TO HIS FEET! MALCOLM JONES HAD THIS MATCH WON JUST A FEW SECONDS AGO BUT BY GAWD DRAKE KING HAS MORE WHEREWITHAL THAN ANY OF US COULD HAVE POSSIBLY IMAGINED. HE SHOVES THAT TABLE A FEW INCHES AWAY FROM THE CORNER TO GIVE HIMSELF SOME ROOM AND HE DRAGS MALCOLM TO THAT CORNER!

James Peters: MALCOLM USING HIS OTHER HAND TO PUNCH AWAY AT DRAKE! DRAKE WITH FOREARMS TO ANSWER BACK! AND BOTH MEN ARE SLUGGING IT OUT! DRAKE JABS HIS THUMB IN MALCOLM’S EYES AND HE DRAGS HIM UP THE TOP ROPE!  MALCOLM CONTINUES TO TRY AND FIGHT HIS WAY FREE BUT DRAKE SLAMS HIS FIST INTO MALCOLM’S INJURED ARM! THAT ALLOWS DRAKE TO HOOK MALCOLM!!!!!

Persephone: :lupe:!!! THEY ARE PERCHED PRECARIOUSLY ON THE TOP ROPE!!!! OH GOD! THIS IS GOING TO BE BAD!!!!

( The camera cuts to an upclose shot of Drake and Malcolm. Drake is looking at Malcolm with nothing but pity in his eyes. )

Drake King: (off-mic) I’m not sorry it had to be this way.

Malcolm Jones: (off-mic) Don’t ever forget the name of man who fucking made you.

( Drake gives Malcolm a bitter look and despite the situation, Malcolm manages to maintain his arrogance. )

Malcolm Jones: (off-mic) That would be EYE… Malcolm. Hakeem. Jones.

James Peters: ‘OVERHAUL’!!!!! DRAKE WITH A SWINGING REVERSE STO OFF THE TOP ROPE THAT SENDS BOTH MEN CRASHING THROUGH THE TABLE! THE C-4 EXPLOSIVES STRAPPED TO THAT TABLE JUST WENT OFF, DEAFENING THIS CROWD, AND SENDING UP A CLOUD OF SMOKE!

( It takes a while for the smoke to clear. The fans sit in silence and horror, waiting to see what’s happened. The referee is trying to wave the smoke away, but like everyone else, he is at the mercy of having to wait for it to clear. Once it does, everyone’s worst fears are confirmed. Drake King is sprawled on top of Malcolm Jones, and Malcolm’s shoulders are down. )

Rich Russillo: :mjcry: Not like this… not like this…

( Even Persephone is a bit stunned, and has nothing bitchy to say. Everyone watches as the referee gets down to make the count. )

OOONNNEEE!!!

(Ding! Ding! Ding! )

Bella Braxton: I… wow… 

( The Voltage ring announcer pauses for a moment, having to collect herself. )

Bella Braxton: AND HERE IS YOU W-WINNER… AND NEW EAW WORLD CHAMPION… DRAKE THE REDEEMER!

( ‘Taking A Stand’ by Henry Jackman begins to blast across the stadium speakers. The fans sit there in absolute disgust and stunned silence. )

James Peters: I think the lack of reaction from the crowd speaks volumes about what we just witnessed. There wasn’t a single fan who stepped foot inside this building tonight that wanted to see Drake King make good on his promise to end the career of Malcolm Jones.

Rich Russillo: I really don’t know how I feel right now. I just don’t. Malcolm was a centerpiece of REVOLT and someone who made an incredible name for himself in this business in such a short period of time. Three Pain for Pride main events. Two world championship reigns. Interwire Championship reign. Unified Tag Team Championship reign. King of Elite winner. He has amassed a Hall of Fame worthy resume and was destined to do so much more, but it wasn’t to be. It just wasn’t to be here tonight.

( Keisha Brown, Malcolm’s pregnant girlfriend, has come from the back and rushed down the ramp. The referee has already helped Drake King out of the smoldering wreckage and is trying to help him to his feet. As Drake is being helped, his eyes clash with Keisha’s and he can’t help but crack a disgusting smile at her. Keisha turns away from him and kneels down to tend to Malcolm, refusing to acknowledge Drake at all. )

( All this does is amuse The Messiah, who manages to find the energy to stand up, and demands that the referee raise his hand. The referee reluctantly does, and motions for the timekeeper to pass him the EAW World Championship. He passes it to Drake who merely rolls his eyes, not really giving a shit about the belt. He turns and looks at Keisha, who has gotten Malcolm into a sitting position, and she is cradling him in her arms and whispering in his ear. Malcolm’s eyes are on Drake, though, and it’s hard to read the emotion in them. Words unspoken, more or less, but all Drake does is shrug. He rolls out of the ring and begins to make his way up the ramp, where Myles and Minerva wait for him on the stage. )

( The new National Elite Champion and the Cash in the Vault holder, their prizes in hand, open their arms and embrace their stablemate as Drake staggers onto the stage. Seeing the three members of New Eden locked in an embrace sends the crowd into an absolute rage. Myles, Minerva, and Drake break apart, and take a moment to soak up the crowd’s reaction. All three of them look at one another and smile. Minerva holds the National Elite Championship up in the air. Myles raises the Cash in the Vault briefcase up in the air. And a battered, war-torn Drake smirks as he raises the EAW World Championship up. )

James Peters: Unbelievable.

( Inside the ring, Malcolm Jones has gotten to his feet. The only person he wants around him is Keisha at the moment, but he wants to stand on his own. He limps over to the ropes, his elbow visibly swollen, and looking like someone who barely survived a car crash. All he can do is lean against the ropes and watch as New Eden make a spectacle out of the championships and prizes they claimed to never have wanted in the first place. )

( New Eden once again turn towards one another, and without saying a word, they ceremoniously drop their championships and the briefcase and let them clatter to the stage like they mean nothing. Myles and Minerva wrap their arms around Drake to help him stand, and their final words are perfectly clear. In perfect unison all three of them say what they have been saying since Grand Rampage together. )

( “No one BUT New Eden. )

( The Voltage commentary team doesn’t even bother signing off. They have made their way to the ring, along with Bella Braxton, and all the officials who were around the ring to shake Malcolm’s hand and wish him well. )

( The last shot of Pain for Pride 14 is New Eden standing together as a united force knowing that in the end, they were the ones who got the last laugh. )

( EAW logo buzzes. )

(EAW intro plays)

(We open once more on our city of angels floating on a bed of clouds as chaos still unfolds on the stairway. Many bodies lay fallen, silently, their dreams crushed in defeat. Others continue on their ascent towards the top)

Narrator: When the clouds parted, you came. When the bell tolled, you raced towards these pearly gates…

(We see several clips of last night’s events. It first begins with Ahren Fournier retaining his Hall of Fame ring against Terry Chambers and Ryan Wilson winning his first ever Championship, defeating Ronan Malosi)

Narrator: The sweet taste of victory lingers well into the evening and into the new day. The euphoria of entering the promised place is one that lasts even more than just the essence of victory. Yet there is no greater euphoria than the long journey reaching its destination.

(It proceeds to cut to clips of Bronson Daniels and Adam Lucas retaining their respective Championships. The final image is Ronn Banks assisting Adam to defeat Mr. DEDEDE)

Narrator: The rise of the next generation is one that becomes tested most on this stage. Where they shine and shine brightest. Where their bold visions of tomorrow grow only stronger. And oh? What’s this? Were you betrayed? Deary me, how…*unfortunate*…

(From here, clips of The Visual Prophet and Lethal Consequences defeating Ad Infinitum play before fading to still images of Veena Adams being removed) 

Narrator: Pride comes before the fall and the kingdom is merciless in who it rids itself of. There is little sympathy for heretics like you…

(The camera cuts to the gates of the kingdom themselves to find them blasted wide open. The keys to the kingdom lay scattered on the floor as Ms. Extreme walks through them with the Universal Women’s Championship resting over her shoulder. Beaten, battered, bruised, victorious)

Narrator: Finally. Finally. Finally you entered nirvana and claimed what was your’s. The gatekeeper could not stop you and now the kingdom completely awaits you in all it’s unrivalled glory. Though for the former gatekeeper, surely the journey does not end there, does it? 

(The camera pans to an overview of the city itself. The entire landscape has shifted and the city is far less recognisable from what it once was. Xander Payne sits high above on the edge of the tallest building in this new Los Angeles. He dusts his hands, proud of the change he brought to this kingdom)

Narrator: And the future, young man, is your’s to craft. Never once overawed by the moment, you denied a legend, a being who belongs in our greatest halls, his chance to grow that legacy. 

(Clouds above the kingdom roll through with flashes of lightning illuminating various Elitists who are still to compete over the coming two days)

Narrator: This kingdom continues to beckon those who seek it. The clouds remain parted and the storm above grows only more violent. Your heaven, your glory awaits you. What are you willing to give up? What are you willing to sacrifice? All in the name for **Pain For Pride**!!!!

(The graphics loop from Day 1 plays and the camera cuts to SoFi Stadium. Once again, the stadium lights up with pyrotechnics racing around the Oculus Ring and exploding around the stage. The crowd go insane for the display of colour and noise as they’re welcomed to Day 2 of the event) 

SCREENBAR — SOLD OUT

SCREENBAR — SOFI STADIUM. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.

(The camera pans to the ringside area where all three brands are lined up. The camera focuses in on the Showdown announce table where Deadprez, with a wide smile opens his arms to welcome everyone)

Deadprez: WELCOME EVERYONE TO DAY TWO OF PAIN FOR PRIDE! OFF THE BACK OF AN INCREDIBLE DAY ONE, IT’S OUR HONOR AND PRIVILEGE TO KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING HERE ON SHOWDOWN! ALONGSIDE ME ARE MY COLLEAGUES, EVE AND GAVIN KIRKLAND!

Eve: The first day of Pain For Pride was absolutely everything that you would come to expect from Elite Answers Wrestling. Incredible moments forged already, careers being made, new eras beginning and some realising dreams years and years in the making. Day Two once again promises to deliver on everything that Day One gave us and then some! How about you Gavin?

Gavin Kirkland: The closest thing I know to love is getting closer and closer to leaving me and the empty void of despair grows only more…

Deadprez: ….right. BUT GUESS WHAT? WE’RE KICKING THINGS OFF! DAY TWO OF PAIN FOR PRIDE BEGINS RIGHT NOW!

(The camera fades to an overview of the SoFi Stadium as fans cheer and prepare themselves for the first day of Pain For Pride. It proceeds to fade to the first match graphic of the night)

( The camera fades down to ringside, where Gina Romano is seen holding a microphone. )

Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen.. The following contest is a triple threat match set for ONE FALL!! 

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!

Gina Romano: AND IT IS FOR THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

( The SoFi Stadium goes quiet as the lights fade to black. The stadium stays dark for several moments and dark shadows can be seen walking out from backstage. They take their places, and a single white spotlight shines down onto the stage, lighting up the very center of it. A stagehand comes out and begins to roll a red carpet down the entire length of the ramp, while photogs follow and line the carpet. Once everything is in place, the host of American Idol and Live! With Kelly and Ryan, Ryan Seacrest, steps onto the stage. He is dressed in a tux and holding a microphone. )

Ryan Seacrest: Ladies and gentlemen… here to perform her rendition of ‘Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend’ please welcome…. CANDICE BLAIR!

( The crowd erupts as a giant poster of Candice Blair drops down, depicting her as the iconic Marilyn Monroe. Music starts to play and more spotlights rise up. Dozens of gorgeous men are seen on the stage, each carrying gifts made up of diamonds and other jewels. )

( Music starts to play and the Specialists Championship contender bursts through her own poster in dramatic fashion! The photogs begin snapping her photo and what a vision Candice Blair is tonight. She is dressed in a stunning replica of the beautiful pink dress Marilyn Monroe wore in ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’. It fits her curvaceous body absolutely perfectly, giving the men who are on the stage attempting to impress her something to gawk at. Candice’s outfit is complete with elbow length, pink gloves and of course a dazzling array of jewels, including a beautiful diamond necklace that was loaned to her by Tiffany’s just for this event. )

( Candice runs her tongue across her ruby red lips and raises the microphone to her mouth. )

The French are glad to die for love  

They delight in fighting duels  

But I prefer a man who lives  

And gives expensive jewels  

A kiss on the hand  

May be quite continental  

But diamonds are a girl’s best friend  

( Candice smiles at her array of suitors as she performs, weaving in and out between them, and teasing them. )

A kiss may be grand  

( She stops in front of one particular man, and runs a gloved finger across his lips. He shows a bit of excitement, but she coyly shakes her head. )

But it won’t pay the rental  

On your humble flat  

Or help you at the automat  

( Candice now stands between two other suitors, both of whom are offering her exquisite jewelry. Candice brushes against the first man, while winking at the second one, and then she shakes her head, leaving them both to lust after her. )

Men grow cold  

As girls grow old  

And we all lose our charms in the end  

( Candice tosses her hair back, and settles her pretty eyes on the familiar man standing off to the side. She steps in front of him, turning around so her back is pressed against his chest, and she looks up at him. Desmond Helms winks at Candice and pulls out a beautiful diamond ring. The spotlight hits it just right, and Candice’s eyes light up, as she turns towards Desmond and brushes her hand down his chest. She sings the next few lines directly to him. )

But square-cut or pear-shaped  

These rocks don’t lose their shape  

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend  

( On the final note, Candice lowers her microphone and bites down on her bottom lip. Desmond holds out his arm for Candice to take and after she does, the two make their way down the red carpet. The entire time, the photographers have snapped their photos, and Candice makes sure she poses for them. They come to a stop half-way down the ramp, where Candice pauses, and snaps her fingers. The ramp opens up, and Candice drops down, only to remerge a few moments later in her Pain for Pride ring attire. She wears a pink satin bustier, that is made from the same material her dress had been made from, along with matching bottoms that have a large and very dramatic satin bow attached to them. Candice’s outfit is trimmed with diamonds and after basking in her own glory for a bit and soaking up the reaction of the crowd, “Diamonds” by Meg The Stallion and Normani begins to play. )

( Arm-in-arm, Candice and Desmond begin to make their way to the ring. )

Stew-O: Here we go! Specialists Championship time!!

Gavin Kirkland: Here comes the babes!!! :blessed:

Flannery McCoy: Please tell me you aren’t going to be like this the entire match..

Gavin Kirkland: Can’t make any promises sweet cheeks, so you’ll have to see.

Stew-O: Man, what a beautiful entrance by Candice Blair who has spent so much time trying to retrieve the title that she’s fighting for tonight. She’s fought for the Specialists Championship on numerous occasions, and maybe tonight will be the night where things fall into place!! With her being an Ava sister, only time will tell.. And maybe that time is now!!!

(‘Unfazed’ by Lil Uzi Vert featuring the Weeknd hits, as the crowd boos heavily. After a moment, Ashley Flores steps out onto the stage in attire representing the bisexual flag using the colors red, purple, and blue. On her feet, we can see that she’s rocking a clean pair of white Nike air force ones with the nike logo and trim having a gradient color using the same red, purple, and blue scheme. Flores extends her arms out to the side as she stands at center stage, and huge pyros shoot out into the air with the colors red, purple, and blue.)

Stew-O: Well, that’s one way of coming out!!

Gavin Kirkland: This is bad news, but at least she can 50% like me.. :mjcry: 

Flannerry McCoy: I doubt she would like you even if she was 100% straight to be honest.

Stew-O: These pyros that you are seeing right now were actually paid for by Ashley’s family. What a wonderful gift at the grandest stage of them all!! It looks won-

(As Ashley makes her way down the entrance ramp, even more pyros begin to shoot out at each side of the ramp. The red, purple, and blue fireworks shoot out into the air, as they follow Ashley Flores towards the ring.)

Stew-O: Wow, that’s a lot of fireworks for this young Dynasty Elitist!

Flannery McCoy: You’ve got that right, but it’s Pain for-

(Ashley Flores then hops up onto the ring apron, as fireworks shoot out from the turnbuckles! A stream of red, then a stream of purple, then a stream of blue fireworks shoot out in that order over and over again, as Ashley Flores enters into the ring.)

Stew-O: Wow, these fireworks must have cost a fortune!

Gavin Kirkland: Hey, if you’ve got the money for it, then why not?

Stew-O: That’s true. With Flores having such an impressive start to her rookie campaign, this match right here might be her breakout match. All eyes are on her and her opponents as they fight for the prize of becoming Specialists Champion!

(Ashley Flores then looks out to the crowd and flexes, as the fireworks from the turnbuckles then turn into burning flames that illuminate the same red, purple, and blue colors.)

Flannery McCoy: Even more fireworks! There’s no question she’s coming out with these beautiful colors shooting out at every stage of her entrance. She looks ready for this big match, and I can’t wait to see what she brings to the table here at Pain for Pride. If it’s anything near as explosive as her entrance, then she may just walk out of the Sofi Stadium as our new Specialists Champion!!

(As the lights die down, the Tron begins to show people panicking at a Los Angeles hospital, they are running patients into the Operating Room when one of the nurses stops and looks right at the screen…

“Is There a Doctor In The House!?”

Suddenly sirens start to blare throughout the arena, flashes of red cover the entire stadium when an Ambulance drives in from the side of the stage, the crowd erupts, some boo as Dr. Bethany Blue stands on top of the ambulance in her new red and black wrestling gear and jacket, the Specialists Championship firmly around her waist as “Bad Medicine” by Bon Jovi starts to play. )

Stew-O: Wow, and here comes the big trucks!! What an entrance from our Specialist Champion, Dr. Bethany Blue!! 

Gavin Kirkland: The things I’d do for a rectum exam.. :kofi:

Stew-O: :comeagain:

(Regyna gets out of the ambulance passenger side as she cheers on Dr. Bethany Blue who slides down the windshield and makes it to the floor, they give a high five to one another as Bethany makes her way toward the ring and Regyna cheers her on from the ambulance.)

Flannery McCoy: Dr. Bethany Blue won the specialists championship back at Battle of Egypt where she defeated Constance Blevins. This season has been one hell of an emotional roller coaster for the Doctor, but now she finds herself entering Pain for Pride as a champion! 

Stew-O: There are two people in this match trying to make sure she leaves with nothing, but Bethany is here to do whatever she can to make sure that doesn’t happen. This is a title she’s been eyeing since last years Grand Rampage, and now she can truly showcase what it means to be the Specialist Champion here tonight! 

Gina Romano: Introducing first, from San Francisco, California.. Weighing in at 126lbs… THE HOT COMMODITY!!!! CANDICE BLAIR!!!

(The crowd cheers loudly with a few boos, as Candice Blair raises her arms in the air to embrace this incredible crowd from the SoFi Stadium. Desmond Helms is seen on the outside of the ring applauding Candice before turning around and walking back up the ramp and back towards the backstage area.)

Gina Romano: Introducing second.. From Tijuana, Mexico!! Weighing in at 125lbs.. SHE’S THE GOLDEN HAND!! ASHLEY FLORES!!!!

(The crowd instantly boos, as Ashley Flores stares at both Candice Blair and Doctor Bethany Blue, and gives them a thumbs down signaling that they’re going down. Flores then points at herself, then outlines the Specialist Championship around her waist with her hands before pointing at the title wrapped around Bethany’s waist.)

Gina Romano: And from Miami, Florida! Weighing in at 125 pounds, she is THE SPECIALIST CHAMPION….. DR. BETHANY BLUE!!!!!!!!!

(Bethany has her eyes fixated on Candice Blair Ava and Ashley Flores, before climbing to the second rope, unstrapping the title and holding it up as she poses to the huge pop whether cheers or boos from the Los Angeles crowd.)

Stew-O: We are moments away from one of the most anticipated matches scheduled for tonight, and everyone is standing on their feet! This is going to be a good one!

(Dr. Bethany Blue then hands the Specialist Championship to the referee, as he raises it up into the air, as the crowd cheers heavily. The referee then lowers the championship, walks over to the ring ropes, then hands the belt over to the timekeeper before calling for the bell.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Flannery McCoy: There’s the bell, and this Specialists Championship Match is underway!! One Elitist from each brand is here competing at the grandest stage of them all for one of the most prestigious titles in this company’s history! Who’s going to come out on top!

Gavin Kirkland: Man, would I love to be on top of all of them.

Flannery McCoy: :ohlawd: Why did they stick me with you?? OH!!! The Champion just nailed Candice Blair right at the side of the head with a forearm strike!! Candice staggers back, but is immediately taken straight down to the canvas of the ring by a clothesline from Ashley Flores!! Candice quickly pops back up, however, and gets grabbed by the wrist by Dr. Bethany Blue. Irish whip into the corner from the champion, as Candice Blair goes crashing into the turnbuckles!! AND LOOK! IT’S ASHLEY FLORES WHO QUICKLY CHARGES IN AND CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING BACK ELBOW INTO THE FACE OF CANDICE BLAIR IN THE CORNER!! 

Gavin Kirkland: The sexy blonde drops down into a seated position against the turnbuckles, as Flores begins to stomp away at her body in the corner!! These stomps are so brutal, they’re hot!! Look at her continuously driving her boot right into the chest of Candice!! Stomp her Ashley!! Keep it coming!!!

Flannery McCoy: NO!! Dr. Bethany Blue with a swift kick to the back of Ashley’s knees that causes them to buckle!! Blue reaches her arm around the head of Ashley from behind, as she locks in an inverted facelock.. What’s this!?! GRADE C2!!! THE REVERSE DDT CONNECTS FROM DR. BETHANY BLUE AS SHE SLAMS THE BACK OF ASHLEY’S HEAD RIGHT INTO THE CANVAS OF THE RING!!!

Stew-O: Blue gets back to her feet, as she stomps down onto the midsection of Ashley Flores with full force, and that stomp makes the Dynasty Elitist clutch at her midsection in pain!! Blue now makes her way to the side ropes, where she exits out of the ring and onto the other side of the ring ropes, and onto the ring apron! Blue now steps towards the same corner where all of the action has been happening so far, and begins to scale up to the top of those turnbuckles! She drops down to the middle ropes, as she stares right at the downed body of Ashley Flores.. AND DR. BETHANY BLUE CONNECTS WITH A KNEE DROP FROM THE MIDDLE ROPE DOWN ONTO THE BODY OF ASHLEY FLORES, AS HER KNEES PIERCE RIGHT INTO THE MIDSECTION OF THE DYNASTY CHALLENGER!!

Flannery McCoy: Blue gets back up to her feet with her hands spread out wide and to the side! Dr. Bethany Blue slowly turns around.. SAVATE KICK BY CANDICE BLAIR!!! CANDICE JUST GOT UP FROM OUT OF THE CORNER, AND TOOK DR. BETHANY BLUE RIGHT DOWN TO THE CANVAS OF THE RING WITH THAT SAVATE KICK!! Dr. Bethany Blue didn’t see it coming!!

Gavin Kirkland: :krabs: Wait which one of them is cummi-

Flannery McCoy: :russwtf: Gosh, Gavin.. You’re worse than Jake..

Stew-O: Candice Blair is now in the driver’s seat, as she reaches down and grabs Dr. Bethany Blue. Blair brings the champion up to her feet, then quickly kicks her in the abdomen!! Blair now grabs at the head of Blue.. SITOUT JAWBREAKER BY CANDICE BLAIR, AND THAT MOVE STUNS DR. BETHANY BLUE, AS THE CHAMPION WOBBLES ON HER FEET!! Candice quickly turns around and runs to the side ropes!! She bounces back towards the champion.. AND CANDICE TAKES DR. BETHANY BLUE DOWN WITH A SLING BLADE!!! 

Flannery McCoy: Blue hits the canvas hard, but quickly pops back to her feet, but Candice is already there, as she.. CATCHES DR. BETHANY BLUE WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE ABDOMEN!! Blue bends over, as Candice runs to the side ropes.. She rebounds back towards the champion.. TILT A WHIRL HEADSCISSORS TAKEDOWN BY CANDICE BLAIR!! SHE JUST LAUNCHED DR. BETHANY BLUE HALFWAY ACROSS THE RING WITH THAT ONE!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Wow, I wish she’d wrap her legs around my head and neck like that!! Wait, look!! Ashley Flores is back in this, as she gets back up to her feet, and makes her way over to Candice Blair who is just now getting up from that Tilt a Whirl Headscissors!!

Stew-O: ROUNDHOUSE KICK BY FLORES!! 

Flannery McCoy: NO!! Candice Blair with the matrix evasion, as Flores spins all the way around! Blair now runs over to the ropes, rebounds back.. She hits a handspring.. RIGHT INTO A STUNNER ONTO ASHLEY FLORES!! Flores doesn’t drop however, as she is stunned, barely able to stand on her two feet!! Candice quickly gets back to her feet, runs to the ropes, rebounds.. AND CONNECTS WITH A TILT A WHIRL HEADSCISSORS ONTO ASHLEY FLORES!!!

Stew-O: AND LOOK!! SHE RELEASES IT INTO A CROSSFACE IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!! CANDICE BLAIR HAS THE CROSSFACE LOCKED IN ON ASHLEY FLORES!!

Flannery McCoy: Blair is desperately trying to submit Ashley Flores here in order to put this one away and win the Specialists Championship here at Pain for Pride! With her sister, Camille, winning the Universal Women’s Championship last night, we know that Candice wants to bring home some more hardware to the Ava family household! Candice is tugging and pulling with all of her might!! She’s trying to get the victory right here and now!!

Stew-O: And Ashley has nowhere to go!! Flores is screaming out in pain, as she tries to extend her arms out!! Flores is trying to grab the ropes ahead of her, but it’s no use! She’s too close to the center of the ring to reach that far!! Flores is in a struggle situation, as Candice tries to put this one away!! She just might do it!!

Gavin Kirkland: NO!!! CONCUSSION PROTOCOL!!! DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE JUST CAME IN WITH THE CURB STOMP RIGHT ONTO THE BACK OF CANDICE’S HEAD, AS SHE DROVE CANDICE’S FACE RIGHT INTO THE CANVAS OF THE RING, AND FORCED BLAIR TO RELEASE HER GRIP ON ASHLEY FLORES!! THE DOCTOR JUST SAVED HER TITLE REIGN RIGHT THERE!!

Flannery McCoy: That was too close of a call for Bethany, but now she’s in control as both of her opponents are down on the canvas of the ring. Candice rolls off to the side while clutching her face, as Flores is still face down after being put through that crossface from earlier!! Dr. Bethany Blue now reaches down and grabs the head and hair of Ashley Flores. She brings Flores up to her feet.. AND TOSSES ASHLEY FLORES RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPES AND DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!! 

Stew-O: Bethany now looks over her shoulder, as she sees Candice Blair down on her hands and knees. The Doctor then turns around, and makes her way over to the legs of Candice Blair. What does she have in mind right here? This can’t be good.. FRACTURED!!! THAT’S THE ELEVATED BOSTON CRAB!!! IT’S LOCKED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND ASHLEY FLORES IS NOT AN ISSUE, BECAUSE SHE’S DOWN AT RINGSIDE!! THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR DR. BETHANY BLUE TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY!! 

Gavin Kirkland: Oh man!! I never knew something so beautiful could be so flexible!! :roman:

Flannery McCoy: That’s not flexibility, Gavin!! That’s having your body put into a position that it should never be in! The Doctor is putting so much pressure on the lower back of Candice Blair!! She’s pulling on those legs and leaning back, and all we can hear is the sound of Candice Blair screaming at the top of her lungs!! This is brutal right now, and may be the reason why Dr. Blue manages to win tonight!!

Stew-O: But Candice Blair won’t tap!! She won’t give up!! No, instead, she’s trying to will herself over to the ropes even with the amount of pain she’s going through!! Blair begins to army crawl her way over to those bottom ropes by taking small steps with her forearms!! Inch by inch she goes, as she’s nearly over to the bottom ropes.. BUT DR. BETHANY BLUE APPLIES MORE PRESSURE BY LEANING BACK MORE!!! THE DOCTOR IS PRESSING THE FACE OF CANDICE BLAIR RIGHT INTO THE CANVAS OF THE RING, AS SHE CONTINUES TO PULL BACK ON THIS ELEVATED BOSTON CRAB!! THERE’S A REASON WHY THIS IS CALLED “FRACTURED” AND AT ANY MOMENT, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE JUST WHY!!

Flannery McCoy: Yeah, I don’t think there is much for Candice Blair to do anymore!! She doesn’t have the strength to fight back up to her forearms because of the amount of pressure being applied onto her lower back.. Plus, her face is getting pressed down into the mat due to the position she’s in, so I don’t see how it’s possible for her to break free!!

Stew-O: Wait a second Flannery!! Look at ringside! It’s Ashley Flores!! Flores is back up to her feet, and climbs up onto the ring apron!! She sees what’s going on in the center of the ring with Candice on the verge of tapping out!! Ashley Flores makes her way over to a corner, and climbs up to the top rope!! Meanwhile, Dr. Bethany Blue is still keeping Blair down with that Elevated Boston Crab!! Blue pulls back even harder and-

Flannery McCoy: ASHLEY FLORES JUST LEAPED INTO THE AIR, AND DRILLED DR. BETHANY BLUE SQUARE IN THE CHEST WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK!!! THAT DROPKICK FORCES THE DOCTOR TO RELEASE HER SUBMISSION HOLD, AS SHE FALLS OFF TO THE SIDE IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!! ASHLEY FLORES FOR THE SAVE!!! WHAT A MOVE TO STOP BETHANY FROM WALKING OUT OF HERE AS CHAMPION!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Did either of you see her booty jiggle when she dove off of the top rope? :roman:

Flannery McCoy: No?

Gavin Kirkland: Neither did I. :krabs:

Stew-O: And now Ashley Flores kicks Dr. Blue on her side, as it forces Blue to turn onto her stomach! Another kick, and she rolls over and onto her back!! STOMP TO THE MIDSECTION BY FLORES!! ANOTHER!! AND ANOTHER!! The impact of that boot driving into the midsection of Dr. Blue forces the champion into a seated position near the center of the ring! 

Flannery McCoy: And now we can see Ashley Flores charging towards the side ropes! She hits them, and bounces back.. TUNNEL VISION!! RUNNING SINGLE LEG DROP KICK TO THE BACK OF DR. BETHANY BLUE’S HEAD!! THE CHAMPION FALLS BACK AGAINST THE CANVAS OF THE RING, THEN QUICKLY ROLLS OFF TO THE SIDE, UNDER THE RING ROPES, AND ONTO THE RING APRON TO PREVENT HERSELF FROM TAKING ANYMORE DAMAGE!!

Stew-O: That’s a great strategy by the Doctor, but it doesn’t look like Ashley Flores is going to allow it! Flores turns around and runs to the opposite ropes! She rebounds back after hitting the ropes.. BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK RIGHT INTO THE RIBS OF DR. BETHANY BLUE ON THE RING APRON!! IT CONNECTS, AND SENDS DR. BLUE RIGHT DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!! WHAT A MOVE BY ASHLEY!!

Gavin Kirkland: Nice, now I can get a perfect view of those medical ass cheeks! :drakelike:

Flannery McCoy: For once, I wish Jake Mercer were here..

Stew-O: Ashley Flores now looks over her shoulder, and sees Candice Blair crawling her way over to the side ropes. Blair has been down ever since she was put into that Fractured Boston Crab a while ago, but it looks like she’s now making some progress, as she finally gets to the ropes! Blair begins to use the ropes to help herself get up to her hands and knees inside of the ring. She reaches up and grabs the top rope now, and pulls herself up to her feet! Blair turns around-

Flannery McCoy: AND ASHLEY FLORES CONNECTS WITH THE CODEBREAKER!!! CODE BREAKER CONNECTS ONTO CANDICE BLAIR, AND SHE INSTANTLY GETS SENT RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS OF THE RING!! Flores quickly hooking the leg!!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THHHHHHHHRR-

Gavin Kirkland: And there’s the kickout by Candice Blair!!

Stew-O: Flores is looking extremely impressive right now, as she’s taken out both the champion and other challenger. She tried to put this one away with the pinfall. It didn’t work, but she’s still in a good position seeing how the other two are doing compared to her right now. It’s going to take a lot to pin or submit either of these two Elitists, but I think Flores is okay with that. The look in her eyes right now simply tells the story that she wants to physically hurt her opponents right now.

Flannery McCoy: Yeah, Ashley Flores definitely loves to inflict a large amount of pain onto her opponents, and now she gets to do it right here at the grandest stage of them all. Flores makes her way over to the side ropes, drops down to the canvas, then rolls underneath the bottom rope in order to get herself out of the ring and right to ringside where Dr. Bethany Blue is struggling to get up. 

Stew-O: Ashley now grabs Dr. Bethany Blue and brings her up to her feet. Flores now lifts and raises Dr. Blue up onto her shoulders. What does she have in mind here? This isn’t looking good at all for the champion right now, as Flores charges towards the barricade.. SNAKE EYES BY ASHLEY FLORES ONTO THE BARRICADE!!

Flannery McCoy: NO!!! DR. BETHANY BLUE SQUIRMS OUT OF IT, GETS FROM BEHIND ASHLEY, AND SHOVES HER CHEST FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE!! Ashley drops down to her knee, and clutches at her chest in pain!! Meanwhile, Dr. Blue takes a second to catch her breath, then makes her way over to Ashley who is down on her knee.

Stew-O: Ashley gets up to her feet, but Dr. Blue quickly sends her right back down to the floor with a powerful chop block! The Doctor now reaches down and grabs Ashley by the head and hair.. AND DR. BLUE SLAMS THE BACK OF ASHLEY’S HEAD RIGHT INTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!! AGAIN!! AND AGAIN!! AND AGAIN!!

Flannery McCoy: Dr. Blue gets up to her feet now, as she keeps hold of Ashley’s head and hair. She pulls hard, as she brings Flores up to her feet. Flores is barely able to stand and probably has no idea what’s going on after getting her head blasted as hard as she did, but the Doctor doesn’t care! In fact, the Doctor goes for european forearm shot right across the face of Ashley Flores!! Flores drops down to her knees, but Dr. Blue quickly grabs her and lifts her up to her feet! This doesn’t look too good!!

Gavin Kirkland: What do you mean!?! This is hot!

Flannery McCoy: I’m talking about Ashley’s situation in this match! :snoop:

Gavin Kirkland: Oh.. Yeah.. Me too. Dr. Blue is on fire right now.

Stew-O: Dr. Bethany Blue now kicks Ashley in the gut, and pulls her in! Bethany now lifts Ashley in the air!! Ashley is in a vertical suplex position right now as Dr. Blue is stalling the hold!! All of the blood in Ashley’s body is now rushing straight to her head. Something like this can cause a person to get light headed, Dr. Blue has Flores raised up high, as she faces the crowd! Blue now turns around with Ashley still held in that vertical suplex!!

Flannery McCoy: WAIT A SECOND STEW!!! IT’S CANDICE BLAIR ON THE RING APRON!! CANDICE SPRINTS ON THE RING APRON TOWARDS ASHLEY AND DR. BLUE!!! 

Stew-O: SPEAR!!! CANDICE BLAIR JUST SPEARED ASHLEY FLORES WHO WAS HELD UPSIDE DOWN IN THAT VERTICAL SUPLEX POSITION!! ASHLEY GETS SLAMMED RIGHT INTO THE THINLY PADDED RINGSIDE FLOOR, AS DR. BLUE FALLS BACK AND HITS THE RINGSIDE FLOOR HARD AS WELL!!

Flannery McCoy: What a move by Candice!! And now, Candice Blair steps over to Ashley Flores. She reaches down and grabs Flores by the right arm and right leg before dragging Ashley’s body right next to Dr. Blue’s!! What is Candice Blair thinking right here? She stands beside both bodies.. STANDING MOONSAULT INTO DOUBLE KNEES ONTO BOTH OPPONENTS!! WHAT A MOVE BY CANDICE, AS SHE DRILLS BOTH BETHANY AND ASHLEY WITH HER KNEES!!

Gavin Kirkland: I’d drill them too..

Flannery McCoy: :snoop:

Stew-O: Candice now reaches down and grabs Dr. Bethany Blue. Blair brings Blue up to her feet, then connects with a forearm strike right across the face of the Doctor! FOREHAND CHOP TO THE CHEST BY BLAIR!! ANOTHER!! AND ANOTHER!! And now Candice Blair shoves Dr. Bethany Blue back against the edge of the ring apron!! Blue is leaned up against that ring apron, as Candice delivers another powerful forearm shot!!

Flannery McCoy: Another forearm shot by Candice!! Dr. Bethany Blue responds back with a european forearm shot! Elbow to the face by Candice!! Elbow to the face by Bethany!! Back and forth they go, as these two women are trading shots with one another!! Back into the forearms!! CANDICE!! BETHANY!! CANDICE!!! BETHANY!! BETHANY!!! BETHANY FOR A THIRD CONSECUTIVE TIME WITH NO ANSWER FROM CANDICE!! 

Stew-O: Candice staggers back and drops down to a knee, then slowly works back up to her feet.. BUT BETHANY CHARGES AT HER WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE!! NO!! CANDICE BLAIR WITH ANOTHER MATRIX EVASION, AS BETHANY GOES RIGHT PAST HER AND-

Flannery McCoy: THE CLOTHESLINE CONNECTS RIGHT ONTO ASHLEY FLORES WHO JUST MADE IT BACK TO HER FEET!! 

Stew-O: Dr. Bethany Blue now turns around to face Candice.. BUT DR. BLUE WALKS RIGHT INTO A SAVATE KICK FROM CANDICE BLAIR!!! THAT KICK DROPS DR. BETHANY BLUE, AS SHE LAYS DOWN ON THE GROUND AT RINGSIDE!!

Gavin Kirkland: I’m loving the action from this match so far!!

Flannery McCoy: :usure: You haven’t called a single thing regarding this match yet other than their asses..

Stew-O: Candice Blair has been doing phenomenal ever since she connected with that spear from the ring apron, and now she’s making her way back over to Ashley. Blair reaches down and grabs Ashley by the head and hair, and brings her up to her knees.. Blair attempts to lifts Ashley up to her feet, but it’s Flores who connects with a right hook to the body of Candice while being down on her knees!! Now there is a left! Another right!! Another left!! Candice is taking some damage from these body shots, as Ashley Flores has finally made it up to her feet! 

Flannery McCoy: Flores with a kick to the abdomen now! She lifts Candice up onto her shoulders, and whats this!?! ASHLEY FLORES CHARGES AT THE THINLY PADDED BARRICADE AND DROPS HER FACE FIRST INTO IT!!! THE SNAKE EYES CONNECTS THIS TIME, AS CANDICE STUMBLES ON HER FEET AT RINGSIDE!! STIFF JUMPING KNEE TO THE FACE BY ASHLEY FLORES!!! WHAT A MOVE!!!

Stew-O: Yeah, that jumping knee sent Candice right back to the ringside floor, as now she is in a seated position.. Wait a second.. FLORES WITH A LOW DROPKICK TO THE CHEST OF THE SEATED BLAIR!!! THAT SHOT SENDS CANDICE BACK AGAINST THE THINLY PADDED RINGSIDE FLOOR!!!

Flannery McCoy: And look at Dr. Bethany Blue! Blue is getting up to her feet, as she uses the ring apron to help pull herself up. Blue leans against the ring, as Flores notices this and makes her way over to Dr. Blue!! Ashley now turns Dr. Bethany Blue around, and wraps her arm around the hea-

Stew-O: WAIT NO!! FLORES WAS TRYING TO WRAP HER ARM AROUND THE HEAD OF DR. BLUE, BUT THE DOCTOR COUNTERED WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE BODY!! Another back elbow!! And another, but WAIT!!! ASHLEY FLORES WRAPS HER ARM AROUND THE HEAD OF DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE ANYWAYS, AND SLAMS HER FACE RIGHT INTO THE EDGE OF THE RING WITH AN ARM TRAPPED HEADLOCK DRIVER!! Bethany leans up against the ring, and is immediately tossed back inside by Ashley Flores. Flores then slides into the ring right behind Doctor Bethany Blue, and goes for the pin!!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHR-

Gavin Kirkland: But the champion kicks out!!!

Stew-O: Ashley Flores is not too thrilled about the kickout, as she hits her hand hard against the mat. Flores now gets to her feet, and interlocks her legs with Bethany! What does she have in mind here? Ashley twists around, and.. ASHLEY LOCKS IN THE INVERTED INDIAN DEATHLOCK!! ASHLEY IS TRYING TO SNAP THE LEGS OF BETHANY RIGHT HERE, AS BETHANY BEGINS TO SCREAM IN PAIN!!

Flannerry McCoy: Doctor Bethany Blue is in excruciating pain right now, as she immediately tries to reach her hand out for the ropes!! The champion has her arm extended out towards the ropes, but is a few inches away from actually grabbing them. Meanwhile, Ashley Flores looks over her shoulder and sees what’s going on, so she begins to drag both her and Dr. Bethany Blue to the center of the ring with an army crawl!! 

Stew-O: The look on Dr. Bethany Blue’s face tells the story. She is hurting right now, and in so much pain, but the champion inside of her won’t allow herself to lose!! Dr. Blue continues to shake her head, as she continues to tell herself not to tap out, and as great of a strategy as that is, unfortunately it’s not enough for her to actually break free!! Dr. Bethany Blue needs to think of something quick if she intends on getting out of this match the way she came in, and that’s with the Specialists Championship!! 

Flannery McCoy: I don’t know Stew!! IT LOOKS LIKE DR. BLUE IS GOING TO TAP!! IT MAY BE HAPPENING!! ASHLEY FLORES CAN SMELL THE CHAMPIONSHIP COMING HER WAY!! SHE JUST NEEDS TO HOLD THIS POSITION FOR A FEW MORE SECONDS!! BETHANY IS.. WAIT!!! BETHANY IS CRAWLING HER WAY OVER TO THE ROPES!!! SHE’S USING WHATEVER STRENGTH SHE CAN MUSTER TO INCH HER WAY CLOSER TO THE ROPES!! THIS IS IMPRESSIVE KNOWING THAT HER LEGS ARE IN SO MUCH PAIN RIGHT NOW!! BETHANY REACHES OUT-

Stew-O: AND SHE GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE!!! SHE GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE AND FORCES THIS SUBMISSION TO BE BROKEN UP!!

Gavin Kirkland: I can’t believe she just did that!!

Flannery McCoy: Me neither!! The amount of pain that she had to fight through in order to crawl her way over to the ropes was unimaginable! But that’s what happens when you’re a fighting champion like Doctor Bethany Blue! She went through hell and back to win that Specialists Championship, and after seeing what she’s gone through so far, it’s clear to see that if she does lose the title tonight, it’s not because she didn’t put up a fight until the very end. Doctor Bethany Blue is a true warrior out there, and Ashley Flores has now become quite aware of that. Flores can’t believe that Bethany managed to tap out!

Stew-O: And now look at this!! Ashley gets up to her feet, pulls Bethany right back towards the center of the ring, and begins stomping away at her lower legs!!! Over and over again, Ashley continues to drive her boot into the calf and knee of Doctor Bethany Blue with the only intent being to hurt the Doctor due to the frustration of not putting this one away!!! Ashley is furious right now because of the resilience that Dr. Blue has displayed so far, and now it gives her more reason to hurt the champion! Dr. Blue has no way of defending against these stomps as she has no strength to get back up to her feet.. The pain in her legs is holding her back, and these stomps are now becoming disturbing, as Ashley continues to inflict pain on the-

Gavin Kirkland: CANDICE JUST RUSHED BACK INTO THE RING, AND CONNECTED WITH A RUNNING BICYCLE KICK TO THE FACE OF ASHLEY FLORES!!! ASHLEY JUST GOT CLOCKED IN THE FACE AND SHE DROPPED DOWN TO THE CANVAS OF THE RING!!! THE BLONDIE WITH A FATTY IN THE BACK JUST CAME IN AND SAVED DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE FROM ANYMORE DAMAGE!

Stew-O: Ashley rolls over to the side of the ring, as Candice turns towards Dr. Bethany Blue who is struggling to get up. The damage to Bethany’s leg is evident, as we can see the pain being represented by the look on her face. Bethany is trying to use the ring ropes to help herself up to her feet, but the second she gets up onto one leg, her knees instantly buckle, and she drops right down!! 

Flannery McCoy: And Candice is watching Bethany struggle!! She’s literally just staring at the champion, as Bethany can’t defend herself in any way!! Ashley definitely brought it to the champion with that merciless attack on the legs moments ago, and even though Bethany had the heart to keep fighting through both the submission and those leg stomps, there was nothing she could do to escape the pain of it all. That pain was inevitable, and Bethany is well aware of that, as she’s looking at Candice with worry in her eyes!!

Stew-O: Candice now steps over to Bethany Blue, as Bethany again tries to grab the ring ropes and pull herself up! Bethany is almost there!!! BUT AGAIN SHE FALLS DOWN!! TO THE CANVAS OF THE RING!!

Flannery McCoy: Candice continues to make her way over to Bethany, as Bethany has her hand extended out, showing that she’s begging for mercy, while she tries to further back away from Candice, but the ring ropes behind her aren’t allowing that.. Candice with a serious look on her face goes right at Bethany!!!! 

Stew-O: AND CANDICE BLAIR EXTENDS HER HAND OUT, GRABS BETHANY’S HAND, AND PULLS HER UP TO HER FEET!!! CANDICE JUST HELPED BETHANY UP TO HER FEET, AND NOW IS WALKING HER OVER TO THE CORNER, WHERE SHE LEANS THE CHAMPION UP AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE!!! WOW!!! WHAT SPORTSMANSHIP BY THE CHALLENGER!! NOT TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A HURT AND DEFENSELESS CHAMPION!!! 

Flannery McCoy: That’s the compassionate side of Candice Blair right there!! She couldn’t get herself to kick the champion while she was down, but this might have cost her the match!! That was a golden opportunity for her to end this match right then and there!!

Gavin Kirkland: Nah, keep this match going. I like what I see.

Flannery McCoy: We know you do, Gavin. You definitely wouldn’t have been a fan of Xander Payne vs Impact..

Stew-O: HOLD THAT THOUGHT!!! ASHLEY FLORES GOT BACK UP TO HER FEET, AND JUST AS CANDICE WAS TURNING AROUND, ASHLEY CHARGED IN AND WENT FOR THE STOP BREATHING!!! THAT’S THE CORNER SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB AND SHE JUST POWERBOMBED CANDICE BLAIR RIGHT INTO THE BODY OF DR. BETHANY BLUE IN THE CORNER!!! 

Flannery McCoy: And because of that powerbomb, both Candice and Bethany are seated in the corner with Candice sitting in front of Bethany!! What is Ashley Flores trying to do here? She backs away, then charges back towards her two opponents.. BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK RIGHT INTO THE BODIES OF CANDICE BLAIR AND DR. BETHANY BLUE IN THE CORNER!!! Bethany drops down to her side, as Candice remains in a seated position in the corner!! 

Stew-O: And now Ashley Flores makes her way over to Candice where she grabs her arm, and pulls her up to her feet. Flores wraps her arms around the body of Candice.. HUG OF DEATH!! BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX BY ASHLEY FLORES!!! SHE JUST TOOK CANDICE DOWN AND NOW SHE’S GOING FOR THE PIN!!!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

THHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRR-

Gavin Kirkland: Kickout by Candice Blair!!! 

Stew-O: Look at Ashley’s face!! She’s upset with the fact that Candice managed to kick out, and the frustration begins to build up once again. Every time that we think this match could be over, Dr. Bethany Blue and Candice Blair do whatever they can to prevent that from happening! The resilience along with the never give up attitude shown by those two is what has been keeping them in this match, because Ashley has been on a roll by showing no mercy this entire match!!

Flannery McCoy: Speaking of no mercy!! Ashley is now down on her knee, and she’s grabbing Candice by the hair, and bashing it hard against the canvas of the ring!! OVER AND OVER AGAIN!! SHE ISN’T STOPPING, AS SHE’S TRYING TO GET AT LEAST ONE OF THESE TWO TO BREAK TO A POINT OF NO RETURN!! Ashley now with a hard right hand! Another! And another!! And another!!! Ashley with multiple strikes down onto the head and face of Candice Blair!! Candice is just taking these punches and has no way of defending herself, because of how quick these strikes are!! ANOTHER ONE!!! AND ANOTHER RIGHT HAND!! THAT’S SEVENTEEN PUNCHES IN A ROW TO THE HEAD!!!

Stew-O: Candice is nearly knocked unconscious now, as Ashley Flores grabs her by the arm, and lifts her up to her feet. Kick to the stomach by Ashley Flores!! She pulls Candice in.. FINAL LULLABY!!! SPIKE DDT BY ASHLEY FLORES CONNECTS, AND CANDICE BLAIR IS BUSTED RIGHT OPEN!!!! Ashley goes to hook the legs!! Meanwhile, Bethany is in the corner, trying to get up to her feet, but once again, she is unable to, as she helplessly watches Candice getting pinned right before her eyes!!!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Stew-O: BETHANY TRIES TO CLIMB HERSELF UP TO HER FEET WITH THE RING ROPES!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Stew-O: BUT AGAIN!!! DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE DROPS DOWN TO THE CANVAS BECAUSE THE PAIN IN HER LEGS IS TOO UNBEARABLE!! THE DOCTOR CLUTCHES AT HER HEAD, AS SHE WATCHES THE FINAL COUNT!!!!

THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: NO!!! THE SEXY BLONDE KICKS OUT!!! CANDICE BLAIR KICKED OUT!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Stew-O: Listen to this crowd guys!! Nobody saw that kickout coming!!! Ashley has a look of shock on her face, as we can see Doctor Bethany Blue with wide eyes, as she can’t believe her title reign is still alive!! Candice Blair kicking out was not expected especially since she’s become a bloody mess. 

Flannery McCoy: A bloody mess indeed. Blood drips down the face of Candice Blair, as it drips down over her eyes and begins to stain the ring mat. Ashley can’t believe this.. And now Flores gets back up to her feet and.. STOMPS RIGHT DOWN INTO THE INJURED WOUND ON CANDICE’S HEAD!!! EVEN MORE BLOOD BEGINS TO DRIP, AS A POOL OF BLOOD BEGINS TO SURROUND CANDICE BLAIR’S HEAD!! THIS IS HORRIFYING TO WATCH, BUT ASHLEY IS SICK OF THESE KICKOUTS!! SHE’S READY TO WIN THIS AND TAKE HOME THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP!!

Stew-O: Ashley now kicks Candice in the ribs, and turns her onto her belly.. Flores then makes her way over to an open corner, and begins to stare out at Candice Blair who looks nearly lifeless in the ring!! Candice has only a tad bit of energy and strength left, as she tries to get up to her hands and knees.. Meanwhile, Bethany is still struggling to get out of the corner!! And then there’s Ashley Flores who charges in at Candice Blair!!

Flannery McCoy: PAPER CUT!!! THE PUNT KICK CONNECTS!!!!! THE PUNT KICK CONNECTS, AND CANDICE BLAIR iS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS AS SHE LAYS IN A POOL OF HER OWN BLOOD!!!! 

Gavin Kirkland: And now it’s Flores who hooks the legs!!!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Stew-O: NO!!! DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE BREAKS UP THE PIN WITH A FOREARM TO THE BACK OF ASHLEY’S HEAD!!! HOW DID SHE MANAGE TO GET TO ASHLEY FLORES WITH HER LEG HURTING AS BAD AS IT DID!?!?

Flannery McCoy: LOOK STEW!!! IN DR. BETHANY BLUE’S HAND!! IT’S A SYRINGE THAT WAS FULL OF ADRENALINE!!! SHE MUST HAVE PULLED IT OUT OF HER BOOT AND INJECTED HERSELF WITH ADRENALINE IN ORDER TO FIGHT THE PAIN IN HER LEGS AND BREAK THE PIN ATTEMPT IN TIME!!! 

Stew-O: And now Doctor Bethany Blue tosses the syringe out of the ring, as Ashley Flores gets up to her feet!! Ashley now charges at Doctor Bethany Blue!!! CLOTHESLINE!!! NO!!! DOCTOR BLUE DUCKS UNDERNEATH THE ARM, AS ASHLEY GOES RIGHT PAST HER!!! Flores continues to run towards the ropes in front of her, bounces back.. BUT SHE GETS NAILED IN THE STOMACH BY A RUNNING KNEE LIFT FROM DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE!!

Flannery McCoy: Flores now gets back up to her feet, as she clutches at her stomach in pain.. BUT SHE’S IMMEDIATE GRABBED BY BETHANY!!! AND SHE’S TAKEN DOWN BY A FALLAWAY SLAM BY DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE!!! ASHLEY FLORES IS HURTING NOW, AS SHE CAN’T KEEP UP WITH THE DOCTOR!!!

Gavin Kirkland: That shot of adrenaline does wonders. Imagine how she is in bed with it!!

Flannery McCoy: Now is not the time, Gavin!! Ashley Flores slowly gets up to her feet.. BUT BETHANY IS BOLTING RIGHT AT HER AT SPEEDS I’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!!! CORKSCREW ELBOW BY THE DOCTOR RIGHT INTO FLORES!!!! AND FLORES GETS SHOVED ALL THE WAY BACK INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES!!! 

Stew-O: ASHLEY HITS THE TURNBUCKLES HARD AND THE MOMENTUM CAUSES HER TO BOUNCE BACK TOWARDS THIS SUPER HERO LIKE VERSION OF DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE!!! KICK TO THE STOMACH BY DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE!!! SHE PULLS ASHLEY IN, THEN LIFTS HER UP IN THE AIR!!! WHIPLASH!!!!! THE POWERBOMB CONNECTS ONTO ASHLEY FLORES, AS THE BACK OF HER HEAD SMACKS AGAINST THE CANVAS OF THE RING!!!! CANDICE BLAIR IS STILL DOWN IN A POOL OF HER OWN BLOOD, AS DR. BETHANY BLUE HOOKS THE LEGS OF ASHLEY FLORES!!!!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gina Romano: Here is your winner… AND STILLLLL YOUR SPECIALISTS CHAMPION… DOOCCCTTOORRRR BBEEETTHHHAAANNNYYYY BBBLUUUEEEEE!!!!!

(‘Bad Medicine’ by Bon Jovi hits, as the crowd erupts for Doctor Bethany Blue! She’s not a fan favorite by any means, but this match was an incredible display from all three competitors! Doctor Bethany Blue rises up to her feet and raises the referee’s hand because the adrenaline is hitting that hard. Bethany is then handed her Specialists Championship, as she raises it high in the air for the entire world to see.)

Stew-O: What a match that was!! All three of these women gave it their all, and they all could have walked out with the title on numerous occasions, but in the end, it was Dr. Bethany Blue who found a way to do the impossible after looking like she could no longer walk! What an impressive showing by the champion here tonight!!

Flannery McCoy: Yes! And if this is supposed to foreshadow what her reign is going to be like, then we are in for quite the ride, because this was amazing! 

Gavin Kirkland: I wonder if she needs someone to scrub her back after that hard fought victory!

Flannery McCoy: :comeagain:

Gavin Kirkland: I mean, I wonder if she needs someone to walk her back to the locker room after the hard fought victory.

Stew-O: I don’t believe so, because that ambulance is making its way down to the ring!

(The ambulance that Dr. Bethany Blue rode on the way to the stage begins to drive down the ramp and parks right beside the ring. Bethany then climbs onto the top turnbuckles, then steps over and stands on top of the ambulance. She raises the title high up in the air, as the ambulance drives around the ring, and back up the ramp and onto the stage where it parks one final time. Dr. Bethany Blue then raises her title up one final time, as the crowd cheers heavily for her. The screen then fades out.)

(The camera fades backstage to Voltage commissioner Captain Charisma’s office, and it appears that the commissioner is in the middle of a conversation with Showdown’s general manager Hurricane Hawk when someone knocks on the door. Captain Charisma walks up to open the door, and once he sees who it is a grin appears on his face.)

Captain Charisma: Starr, glad you could make it! Looks like you’re missing someone though. :troll:

StarrStan: :mjlol2: I’m just glad to finally be done with her. Veena gave me hell all season, I really don’t understand how you managed to deal with her for so long.

Captain Charisma: Trust me, if I didn’t have to work with her, I wouldn’t have. I don’t know if there’s a single person on the planet that can actually stand Veena… Other than Charlie Marr. 

Hurricane Hawk: Can’t wait to share my job with her next season, since she somehow gets a GM spot every year .

(All three men begin to laugh with each other, knowing that Veena *does* have a history of somehow becoming an authority figure on each show.)

StarrStan: Veena Adams no longer being co-general manager is exactly what Dynasty needed. Now we have the opportunity at a fresh start, and I don’t think that could’ve come at a better time. The season is about to come to an end, and before you know it, it’ll be time for the Draft. This might just be the most important time of the year, but honestly I’m more happy about being able to run Dynasty without having Veena Adams around to try and do things her own way so she could get whatever she wants instead of doing what’s best for the show. From here on out Dynasty will finally be able to be run the way it’s supposed to be, and the Draft will definitely be a much needed reset for the red brand.

Hurricane Hawk: I actually can’t wait. We all know that a lot has gone down on Showdown this season, especially with Ryan Wilson as general manager for the majority of it :francis:. I had no control over most of this since I didn’t take over until the last few months of the season, so I may have been able to make *some* changes, but next season Showdown will be able to follow my vision instead of having to clean up after someone else’s. Pain for Pride has been amazing so far, and I’m confident that we’ll only do even better next season. 

StarrStan: My only question is, who gets the first pick?

Captain Charisma: Don’t even worry about that, I have an idea.

Hurricane Hawk: You do?

Captain Charisma: Yeah. We went through this just last year, didn’t we? We could always flip a coin, do rock paper scissors, or just choose among ourselves, but why do something like that when we have the opportunity to create a huge match for the Draft show? This is the show that’s going to kickstart the new season, so if we still need to figure out who gets the first overall pick, why not just have a match to settle it? We could choose a representative for each brand and have them face off in a triple threat at the Draft show, where the winner gains the first overall pick for their brand? That match was a huge success last time we did it, why not go that route again?

StarrStan: Right… Because that worked out so well for you last year :mjgrin:.

Captain Charisma:

(Hurricane Hawk thinks about the idea of the match, especially since he wasn’t around as general manager for last year’s Draft show, and after a few seconds he begins to nod in agreement with Captain Charisma.)

Hurricane Hawk: I actually really like that idea. I didn’t get to take part in last year’s Draft but I did get to see it play out, and aside from who Captain Charisma actually ended up picking.. I think the whole “triple threat to determine the first pick” idea was actually a success. A match with the number one pick for the Draft on the line actually sounds really interesting, and I’m confident in my roster. In fact, I think I already know who I’d like to pick.

StarrStan: Well, you two already know I’m in. Dynasty has some of the best talent in the world, and I’m looking to make that a common theme as we head into the next season. 

Captain Charisma: Perfect, I guess it’s official! And your picks?

Hurricane Hawk: Mine is an easy one, since they actually already competed. Not only that, but they actually competed in a triple threat like this to capture the first overall pick in the Draft *and* won. I know exactly what this person is capable of, so I know exactly what I’m doing choosing them to represent Showdown at the Draft show next week. My pick is without a doubt one of the most talented Elitists on the Showdown roster and they just recently proved that by becoming a Champion. They’ve had their ups and downs throughout their career, but time and time again they’ve proven that they have what it takes to come out on top against even the very best, and they actually *have* done it countless times. They have tons and tons of potential, and I know for a fact that they’re not going to let me down next week. So with that being said, Showdown’s representative is…

Hurricane Hawk: The Specialists Champion, Dr. Bethany Blue!

(The crowd can be heard giving a slightly mixed reaction, with mainly boos after the announcement of Dr. Bethany Blue being added to the match. Hurricane Hawk looks proud of his choice, and both StarrStan and Captain Charisma look surprised but they seem to approve of his decision.)

Captain Charisma: :oh: Dr. Bethany Blue, that’s a great pick! She *is* the one that brought Voltage the victory last year.

StarrStan: That’s right, but I don’t think she’ll be capturing the victory at all next week, because my pick is someone that had one of- if not the biggest match this company has ever seen. This man is capable of great things and this entire year we’ve been able to see him do so here on Dynasty. He managed to capture the World Heavyweight Championship just this season, and after their help in getting rid of Veena Adams as general manager, I don’t see how I *couldn’t* pick him. That man has been an asset to Dynasty, and I’m extremely grateful to have had him on my roster for two seasons now. It doesn’t even matter who he’s facing off against, it’s almost impossible betting against him because that’s just how talented he is. We’re talking about one of the greatest Elitists this entire company has to offer! My pick to represent Dynasty is…

StarrStan: The Visual Prophet! 

(This time, cheers are heard all throughout the SoFi Stadium after hearing the Visual Prophet’s name, especially after he helped cause Veena Adams to lose her spot as Dynasty co-general manager. Hurricane Hawk seems to like how the match is shaping up, as does Captain Charisma.)

Hurricane Hawk: The Visual Prophet and Dr. Bethany Blue :notbad:. This is already shaping up to be an amazing match.

Captain Charisma: Sure is. The Visual Prophet is a former World Champion and Dr. Bethany Blue just retained her Specialists Championship moments ago. 

(Hurricane Hawk and StarrStan both turn towards Captain Charisma, who still has yet to say his pick.)

StarrStan: And what about you? Who are you choosing?

Captain Charisma: ….

Captain Charisma: Myles.

Hurricane Hawk: :comeagain:

StarrStan: :skip:

Captain Charisma: What? You both know how talented and dangerous Myles is. He held the National Elite Championship just this season, and while he and the rest of New Eden have made my life a living hell these past few months, there’s no doubt that he’s a major threat, and while the Visual Prophet and Dr. Bethany Blue are all incredible in their own right, I can definitely see Myles getting the job done.

Hurricane Hawk: Matt… He’s going to purposely tank the match, you know that right?

StarrStan: That, or he just won’t show up at all.

Captain Charisma: No, no he’s gonna show up. And he’s not going to be tanking the match either, because if he *does* then I’ll be suspending Minerva. It’s that simple .

StarrStan: Alright, but I hope you know what you’re doing. You might just end up giving Dynasty-

Hurricane Hawk: Or Showdown.

StarrStan: ..The first pick.

Captain Charisma: Trust me, I know exactly what I’m doing. I get it. Really, I do. Choosing Myles sounds like a horrible idea, and if I *didn’t* know what I was doing it probably would’ve actually been one. Nobody has had to deal with Myles and New Eden and the rest of their garbage this season more than me, but I’m not giving Myles a choice next week but to compete in that triple threat. If he tries to find a way out of it then Minerva’s suspended, and I know that’s the last thing New Eden wants right now is for any of their members. Myles is going to do his part, and in turn Voltage is going to once again win the number one overall draft pick. 

Hurricane Hawk: Alright.. Dr. Bethany Blue versus the Visual Prophet versus Myles it is. Good luck. 

StarrStan: And may the best brand win. :mjgrin:

(Hurricane Hawk and StarrStan begin to leave the office, and Captain Charisma doesn’t seem too concerned about his choice to have Myles represent Voltage in the triple threat. From there, Pain for Pride begins to fade away from Captain Charisma’s office.)

(Pain for Pride fades into the next match graphic for the night.)

(The camera cuts back to the ring as Bella Braxton stands ready.)

Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL… AND IS FOR THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!

(“It Has Begun” by Starset hits as the crowd ERUPTS with a mixture of both boos and cheers as Xavier Williams and Harlow Reichert slowly make their way through the curtain. They pay no attention to those packed inside the Sofi Stadium, instead their obvious focus is on the task ahead. They’re both wearing white and gold attire, standing on the stage taking in the moment that is Pain for Pride. They share a kiss before making their way down to the ring.)

Bella Braxton: Introducing first, the challengers, weighing in tonight at a combined weight of 357 POUNDS!!!!… They are the team of XAVIER WILLIAMS AND HARLOW REEEEEICCHEERRTT!!!

James Peters: This all started at Grand Rampage when Xavier Williams attacked Jack Ripley after losing that 2 out of 3 falls contest! It wasn’t a new mentality from Xavier Williams, but instead a return to the old mentality reminiscent of when he once stood on top of the world years ago. That led to the return of Harlow Reichert at Battle of Egypt who we hadn’t seen since she lost that Answers World Championship match against the former champion on Showdown months ago. 

Rich Russillo: They announced their intentions at Battle of Egypt; they said it was time that they began to take what they deserved, which led to them placing their intentions on the Unified Tag Team Champions and their championships. This hasn’t been anything about competition. We’ve watched as the champions have tried to use their past and personal lives against them. Harlow brother; Xavier’s daughter – doing anything they can to get under the skin and into the head of Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams.

James Peters: This has undoubtedly reached its boiling point. This isn’t going to be pretty. These two teams are going to do everything in their power to make sure that they’re the team that walks out of this massive event as the Unified Tag Team Champions. This has to be a MUST WIN for both Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams. They’ve called their shot. This is their chance to take what they’ve said they deserve. I’d hate to see how they’re going to react if they fall short of accomplishing this goal.

(They enter the ring and immediately turn to face the ramp, waiting for the arrival of the champions. There’s no taunting. There’s no celebration. They’re completely and utterly focused on winning the Unified Tag Team Championships.)

????: Hey, hey, is this working? Are we live?

(The immediate confusion of the crowd quickly changes to a chorus of boos. The Oculus Ring racing above the stadium switches to reveal IDOL-GUN has taken over the video board as they stream themselves backstage. The Instagram logo sits in the top corner of each display of the stream, the viewer count immediately skyrockets into the hundreds of thousands and the comments coming in at a rate which makes them blur heavily.)

Miku Sakai: (Via livestream) WELCOME, LOYAL IDOL-GUN FANS AND YOU SAD PATHETIC SIMPS TO OUR GLORIOUS DEBUTS HERE AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!!!

(A spotlight shines on the elevated platform of the Pain For Pride stage where Miku Sakai and Hikari Kanno emerge. The pair are wearing provocative robes, clearly hiding something special underneath. Two tall stripper like poles raise from the base of the stage up to the platform from which they stand as a large congregation of loyal IDOL-GUN simps gather at the bottom. They chant their name, decked out head to toe in their merch)

Hikari Kanno: (Via livestream) It has been an incredible year. Miku and I have overcome so much to get to this point and we are honoured, privileged even to be able to give you all the only crumb of worthwhile entertainment you will ever see on this show. 

Miku Sakai: (Via Livestream) We know that this is a day that is supposed to be for us, but as we are very giving Queens to the peasant simps, we present to you.. A gift! So without further ado. SIMPS! Play our music!

(“The Day” by PornoGraffiti hits as Miku and Hikari descend down the stripper poles. They twist and twirl, never losing their Unified Tag Team Championships from around their waist. Miku maintains control of the self-stick, broadcasting IDOL-GUN’s provocative display. Hikari and Miku start removing the robes slowly making sure the crowd that once seemed to hate them, sit on the edge of their seats. Spinning around on poles, the two put on quite the syncronized presentation. As the robes fall to the ground, they reveal what once hid what laid beneath. Both are wearing quite glamorous, sparkly, outlandish wrestling gear that they clearly purchased just for this event) 

Bella Braxton: And introducing their opponents! Weighing in tonight at a combined weight of 231 POUNDS!!!!… THEY ARE THE REIGNING AND DEFENDING, UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!! They are the team of HIKARI KANNO AND MIKU SAKAI!!!!! IIIIIIDDDDDDOOOOOOLLLLLLL-GGGGGGUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!!

Persephone: This is exhausting already. 

Rich Russillo: Agreed

James Peters: Agreed

Hikari Kanno: (Via livestream) Hey Harlow, your brother has a pretty nice view of this…you know…from down *there* :troll: 

Miku Sakai: (Via livestream) You get it, Harlow? Because he’s in Hell. Just like where you belong and where your career will end up after tonight :mjlol:

(As Hikari and Miku reach closer and closer to the stage and the sea of simps, a few members proceed to bring out a palanquin. Laced in gold trimmings around the edges, the inside contains a large number of cushions in the Pride colours. IDOL-GUN touch down onto the palanquin and take a seat inside before motioning for the simps to carry them towards the ring)

Hikari Kanno: (Via livestream): I can’t wait to see the excited faces of so many young girls around the world once we retain our Championships. We’re such incredible inspirations to have overcome so much adversity in our careers. This kind of treatment is something we can inspire other Queens to achieve someday. Including your daughter, Xavier.

Miku Sakai: (Via livestream) To be fair Hikari, that’s a really low bar. We don’t need to show young Queens that they too can be carried like royalty around by loyal subjects. All we need to do is literally exist and we would be a better inspiration than Xavier would EVER be. Broken down loser could never be us.

(As IDOL-GUN are carried inside their palanquin, small little packages begin to rain down from the ceiling. They flutter in the stadium, of various colours, coating the ground below. Xavier and Harlow remain far from impressed by their antics)

James Peters: Are…are these condoms?!? And if they couldn’t get any more insufferable, they have plastered their faces all over them. Back and front.

Persephone: Hang on. Have they punctured holes in all of them? Okay, so maybe they’re not *that* bad after all. 

Rich Russillo: I’m going to have to say it. As over the top and as…well…toxic these two have been and continue to be to those they interact with, it can’t be understated just how impressive of a beginning their careers have been here in Elite Answers Wrestling. They walked into this company six months ago as nobodies and damn near instantly became the Unified Tag Team Champions! They have defended the titles repeatedly ever since and defeated plenty of outstanding Elitists along the way not just on Voltage but Dynasty and Showdown as well.

James Peters: Rich, the point isn’t that they haven’t been impressive nor that they don’t deserve the Championships they hold. The point is simply why? Why carry on like this? Why embarrass yourself like this? Why drag the Unified Tag Team Championships you hold down the way that you do? Because it’s clear by their victories over some very impressive competition including former World Champions that they don’t NEED this. They don’t need to act so provocative, they don’t need to insult people and treat them the way they do. 

(The simps lower the palanquin to the same level of the ring apron and allow IDOL-GUN to exit and climb into the ring. The simps carrying the palanquin head towards the back as the rest of the simps flow into the crowd into a specially designated “Simp Area” to watch the match. IDOL-GUN removes their Championships from their waists, gives them a small kiss and hands them over to the official. “The Day” dies out as the referee calls for the bell to begin the match)

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

James Peters: The bell rings and this match for the Unified Tag Team Championships is officially underway – AND BOTH HIKARI KANNO AND XAVIER WILLIAMS MEET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! Both Hikari and Xavier immediately trade forearms! Hikari looks to be gaining the upper hand, forcing Xavier back into the corner! Hikari doesn’t look to relent! Another forearm! Another! Another! Hikari Kanno grabs Xavier Williams by the arm and looks to whip him across the ring, but Xavier’s able to turn it around! Hikari hits the opposite corner as Xavier looks to follow! Hikari gets the boot up! Xavier caught it – AND SMASHES HIKARI BACK INTO THE CORNER WITH STANDING LARIAT! 

Rich Russillo: Xavier charges across the ring, looking to pick up momentum, but Hikari is there to meet him with a jumping knee lift sending Xavier back into the corner! Hikari isn’t finished, hitting the ropes and rebounding back! Xavier tries to cut her off with a clothesline, but Hikari is able to slip underneath! Hikari has Xavier locked by the waist, but Xavier fires back and cracks her in the jaw with a back elbow before she can look to send him overhead! Hikari stumbles back and Xavier looks to send her into the ropes! Hikari latches onto the wrist of Xavier and twists! Hikari with a sharp kick to the inner thigh and follows with a European Uppercut! Xavier’s trying to shake out the cobwebs, possibly rocked after that perfectly placed shot to the bottom of the jaw! Hikari fires with a chop of the chest of the Hall of Famer –

James Peters: BUT, XAVIER FIRES BACK WITH A RIB SHATTERING CHOP OF THE CHEST OF HIKARI KANNO! The look on the face of Hikari tells the entire story; eyes wide, mouth open – the sound of that shot echoing around the arena! The hint of that once familiar smirk crossing the face of Xavier Williams as he hits Hikari in the jaw with a forearm! A second! A third! Hikari is backed into the ropes as Xavier runs back across the ring, hitting the ropes for momentum! He doesn’t see the tag from Miku as Hikari rushes forward! Hikari leapfrogs over the top of Xavier as Miku shoots into the ring! Xavier hits the ropes again and Miku takes Xavier down with a drop toe hold! Sliding knee to the side of the head of the Hall of Famer! Xavier is sent rolling out of the ring as Harlow enters! Double dropkick to Harlow Reichert and out she goes under the bottom rope!

Rich Russillo: This is where IDOL-GUN have their advantage over Xavier Williams and Harlow Reichert. Sure, Xavier and Harlow have been training together for the last few years; Xavier taking Harlow under his wing, but this is the second time in their respective careers that they’ve teamed with each other. Train all you want, but there’s no way that they’re going to have the same chemistry as a tag team that managed to take over the Tag Division a mere month after signing with the company! AND BOTH HIKARI KANNO AND MIKU SAKAI FLYING THROUGH THE ROPES WITH DUELING TOPE SUICIDAS! XAVIER WILLIAMS AND HARLOW REICHERT SENT CRASHING BACK INTO THE BARRICADE! Look at the Unified Tag Team Champions; as confident as ever!

Persephone: It’s like they actually believe that anyone here actually wants to see this match :rolling_eyes:.

James Peter: The referee starts to count, but they don’t get far as Miku Sakai quickly rolls Xavier back into the ring. Hikari Kanno adds insult to injury with a shot to the downed Harlow Reichert before making her way back around the ring and towards her team’s corner! Xavier is trying to sit back up, but Miku sends him back down with a strong kick to the chest! Miku grabbing onto the right arm of Xavier Williams; remember that’s the arm that was injured back in October of the last year and kept him on the sidelines for months! Miku trapping that right arm between her legs and drops her knee right down on the joint! Xavier’s screaming out in pain as Miku keeps pressure on that arm! Harlow has made her way back onto the apron and calls for Xavier to fight!

Rich Russillo: Xavier trying to find a way away from Miku Sakai, trying to roll onto his stomach, but that only gives Miku the chance to apply a modified hammerlock! Xavier is trapped on his stomach as Miku positions herself so she has her eyes directly on Harlow! She’s daring Harlow to get into the ring and try to save her partner! Harlow tries to get in the ring, but the referee is there to stop her! Look! Look! Hikari rushing into the ring while the referee’s dealing with Harlow Reichert as Miku Sakai releases that hammerlock and the Unified Tag Team Champions drag Xavier back into their corner! Harlow knows that neither she or Xavier can allow these two to get under their skin as Hikari tags herself back into the match! Miku traps that arm of the former World Champion – and Hikari slingshots herself over the top rope and drives her boot down onto the joint of that right elbow of Xavier Williams! Miku puts her hands up and makes her way up onto the apron, abiding to the referee’s count as Xavier tries to roll away!

James Peters: But, Hikari is there to stop him from going anywhere! Hikari cracks Xavier Williams in the back with a kick the moment that he sits up! Xavier smashes both fists into the canvas as he tries to shrug it off. Xavier gets back to his feet and grabs Hikari by the hair, but Hikari immediately breaks his grip and returns the earlier shot to Xavier with a chop to the chest! That might not have had the same power behind it that Xavier’s did earlier, but you just know that it has to sting! Xavier fires back with ANOTHER BRUTAL chop to the chest – but this time Hikari forces herself to absorb the impact! Hikari with rapid fire forearms forcing Xavier back into the ropes on her team’s side of the ring! Hikari looks to pick up momentum – but Harlow with a kick to the back of Hikari! Harlow grabs Hikari by the hair and tries to keep her trapped as Xavier looks to kick up momentum! But, just like Harlow – Miku Sakai with a shot to the back of Xavier Williams! Hikari is able to get free as Xavier stumbles forward! Running kneelift from one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions and Xavier Williams goes back down!

Rich Russillo: It just shows how much preparation that IDOL-GUN has done leading into their first Pain for Pride! Hikari calls Miku into the ring as Xavier rolls into the corner, and it looks like the referee may just be giving a little bit of leeway now. IDOL-GUN trapping Xavier Williams in the corner and firing away with stomps! They force him back up to his feet and send him across the ring into the opposite corner! Miku looks to follow, but Xavier drops the shoulder and tries to send her over the top rope and to the outside! Miku’s able to catch herself on the apron – but Harlow from behind pulls her legs out from under her! Miku smashes her face on the apron as Hikari charges towards Xavier Williams! Xavier cuts her off with a boot to the face! Hikari staggering back!

James Peters: What a lariat! Xavier Williams almost turned Hikari Kanno inside out! IDOL-GUN has done a brilliant job of keeping Xavier Williams from tagging in Harlow, but with that you may begin to believe that momentum is going to take a huge swing! Harlow Reichert sending Miku Sakai into the barricade; full force! Hikari forces herself back to her feet, but Xavier immediately sends her through the ropes and to the outside! Miku latches onto the top of that barricade as Harlow charges forward AND SMASHES HER WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Miku slumps back, seated against the barricade AND HARLOW REICHERT FOLLOWS WITH A B-E-A-UTIFUL HESITATION DROPKICK! Xavier has Hikari Kanno mounted and fires away with rapid fire lefts! Both Harlow and Xavier take full advantage at the first real opportunity that they’ve had at control.

Rich Russillo: And you can see that the referee hasn’t started counting with the action spilling to the outside! 

James Peters: I really don’t mind that; the Unified Tag Team Championships on the line at the biggest show of the year – give them a chance to do everything that they can to make sure that the better team walks out as the champions.

Rich Russillo: Let them play?

James Peters: Let them play!

Persephone: Let them kill each other! 

Rich Russillo: Xavier finally relents as he drags Hikari Kanno back to her feet and rolls her back into the ring. Harlow makes her way up onto the apron as Xavier sends one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions into their corner! Tag! Harlow Reichert enters this match for the first time as both her and Xavier look to take full advantage of Miku Sakai still being down at ringside! They send Hikari across the ring and she hits that corner hard! Running European Uppercut from Harlow Reichert! Leaping Back Elbow from Xavier Williams! Hikari was caught twice on the jaw by the challengers, but they aren’t finished just yet! Xavier Williams taking Hikari Kanno down to the canvas with a snapmare – AND HARLOW REICHERT ALMOST SENDS HER BOOT THROUGH HIKARI KANNO WITH A PENALTY KICK! The referee finally gets Xavier to get back into his corner, but the challengers have the champions reeling! Harlow drags Hikari right into the middle of the ring and drops into a cover!

ONE!!!!!…

TW-KICKOUT!!!!!

James Peters: Hikari is able to kick out just before two and Harlow immediately traps her in a side headlock! It hasn’t been easy to try and identify either team’s plan in this contest; both teams have had control, but they’ve spent most of their time jockeying to keep that control. You can tell by that kick out from Hikari that she has no intention of showing any signs that they have her on the back foot and in response Harlow is willing to slow this thing down and really make Hikari use a lot of her energy to get her team back into his contest.

Rich Russillo: You can tell that it looks like Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams are prepared to take this thing into deep waters; really make IDOL-GUN fight as far as they can if they want to retain their titles they won back at King of Elite! Hikari trying to push her way back up as her partner has made her way back up to the apron! But, Harlow shifts her position and uses her leverage to force Hikari straight back down onto her side! This is reminiscent of moments ago with Miku having Xavier trapped while Harlow was forced to look on. 

Rich Russillo: Harlow just smirks at Miku Sakai as she transitions, forcing Hikari into a seated position and drives her knee right into the middle of the spine! Hikari Kanno’s back is jarring in pain as she reaches out to her partner, but there’s no chance that Harlow is going to let her get close to tagging her! Harlow grabs Hikari by the leg and drags her back over to her corner, trapping that leg in a grapevine and tags in Xavier! Hikari’s trying to kick Harlow away, but Xavier drives his boot right into her sternum! Harlow releases that leg of Hikari as the referee almost reaches a count of five and rolls onto the apron before Xavier lifts her back up to her feet!

James Peters: Xavier applies a front facelock, backing into his corner and Harlow tags herself back in! Xavier turns around and releases Hikari! Xavier with a chop to the chest of Hikari! Hikari turns towards Harlow – and she fires with a chop! Xavier with another! Harlow follows with a second of her own! Xavier – Hikari catches the arm of Xavier Williams! Harlow from behind with a shot to the spine! Hikari drops back down to her knees as Miku tries to get into the ring to save her partner, but the referee stops her! Xavier and Harlow have a hold of Hikari Kanno, looking for a double back suplex! But, Hikari lands on her feet! Hikari shoots forward and grabs onto both Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams! She tries to power both overhead with a double Northern Lights Suplex! But, both fires with clubbing shots to the back! BUT – HIKARI KANNO FIGHTS THOUGH AND SENDS BOTH HARLOW REICHERT AND XAVIER WILLIAMS OVERHEAD!

Persephone: :notbad: That was almost impressive.

Rich Russillo: Hikari Kanno has her chance to tag in Miku Sakai and gain some chance to recover! Both Harlow and Xavier are getting back to their feet as Hikari leaps! TAG! Miku rushes into the ring and Xavier looks to take her head off with a clothesline! Miku ducks and catches Harlow on the jaw with a running forearm smash! Miku Sakai fires a spinning back kick to the stomach of Xavier Williams! Roundhouse kick to Harlow Reichert! Superkick to Xavier Williams! Harlow falls back into the corner and BANG! Shining Wizard in the corner to Harlow Reichert! Miku has Harlow’s head lock! RUNNING BULLDOG TO HARLOW REICHERT! AND SHE TAKES OUT XAVIER WILLIAMS WITH A SIMULTANEOUS CLOTHESLINE! Xavier’s send rolling out of the ring as a dazed Harlow Reichert stumbles back to her feet!

James Peters: Miku springboards off the middle rope! WOW! MIKU SAKAI TWISTING IN MID AIR AND TAKES HARLOW REICHERT DOWN WITH A SPIKE TORNADO DDT! SHE ISN’T FINISHED! MIKU SAKAI KIPPING BACK UP TO HER FEET, CHARGES FULL SPRINT ACROSS THE RING – AND FLIES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TAKES OUT XAVIER WILLIAMS WITH A SOMERSAULT SENTON! Miku re-entering this match like a house of fire as she shoots back up onto the apron! Harlow grabbing at the top of her head; she was absolutely spiked by that DDT moments ago! Miku stalks, screaming for Harlow to get back up! She’s up! Miku Sakai slingshots over the top rope – CANADIAN DESTROYER – HARLOW BLOCKS IT! HARLOW LATCHED ONTO THE TOP ROPE AND STOPPED THE MOMENTUM OF MIKU SAKAI! HARLOW GRABBING ONTO THE LEGS OF MIKU SAKAI AND HAS HER TRAPPED! OH MY! HARLOW JUST SENT MIKU CRASHING INTO THAT TURNBUCKLE WITH AN ALABAMA SLAM! YOU COULD FEEL THE IMPACT OF THE UPPER BACK OF MIKU MEETING THE CORNER!

Rich Russillo: You can see Miku struggling to take a breath, but Harlow knows that this may be her chance to call herself champion! Miku Sakai staggers out of the corner and Harlow sweeps her legs out from under one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions! AND HARLOW REICHERT TURNS HER STRAIGHT OVER INTO A BOSTON CRAB! AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE BEING PLACED STRAIGHT ON THE BACK OF MIKU SAKAI! YOU ADD THAT TO THE FACT THAT SHE WAS JUST STRUGGLING TO GET IN ANY AIR AFTER MEETING THAT CORNER AND THIS COULD BE OVER IN A MATTER OF MOMENTS!

James Peters: Miku Sakai screaming in pain as she tries to reach towards the ropes, but she’s trapped in the middle of the ring! SUPERKICK! HIKARI KANNO WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD OF HARLOW! Hikari just possibly saved both her partner and their reign as Unified Tag Team Champions! Hikari helps Miku Sakai back up to her feet before locking a stunned Harlow Reichert by the waist! MIKU HITS THE ROPES! RUNNING BLOCKBUSTER FROM MIKU SAKAI POPPED INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX FROM HIKARI KANNO! What a double team from IDOL-GUN! Hikari rolls onto the apron as Miku pushes herself back to her feet! You can see the grimaces on her face; pain still shooting through her back, but she knows that they have Harlow Reichert where they want her! Harlow slowly pushes herself up, but Miku isn’t going to give her the slightest chance to try to regain her bearings!

Rich Russillo: Miku grabs Harlow, traps her arms and powers her up! MIKU IS LOOKING TO DROP HARLOW REICHERT ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD WITH THAT STARFALL!

Xavier Williams: (off-mic) HARLOW!

Rich Russillo: LOOK! XAVIER CALLS OUT TO HIS PARTNER AS HE STANDS ON THE APRON! HARLOW LOCKS HER LEGS BACK AROUND THE NECK OF MIKU SAKAI AS XAVIER WILLIAMS SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE TOP ROPE! SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK TO MIKU SAKAI AND THE MOMENTUM ALLOWS HARLOW TO WHIP HER ONTO THE BACK OF HER HEAD AND NECK WITH A POISONED HURRICANRANA! BOTH MIKU SAKAI AND HARLOW REICHERT ARE DOWN ON THE CANVAS! HIKARI KANNO SCREAMING FOR MIKU SAKAI FOR THE TAG!

James Peters: The benefit for both teams are they both Harlow and Miku are near their respective corners! Both are stirring! The first to get that tag puts their team in possibly the best match! IT’S HARLOW! HARLOW TAGS IN XAVIER WILLIAMS! XAVIER WILLIAMS RUSHES INTO THE RING! MIKU TAGS IN HIKARI! XAVIER SHOOTS ACROSS THE RING – AND HIKARI KANNO CUTS HIM OFF WITH A SLINGSHOT SPEAR! XAVIER’S OWN MOMENTUM WAS HIS OWN DOWNFALL! XAVIER CLUTCHING AS HIS STOMACH AS HE STUMBLES BACK UP TO HIS FEET! HIKARI MEETS HIM WITH A KNEE TO THE STOMACH! NOW A KNEELIFT STRAIGHT TO THE FACE – BEFORE ALMOST TAKING HIS HEAD OFF WITH A WICKED ROUNDHOUSE KICK! XAVIER TRYING TO STAY ON HIS FEET, SLUMPING AGAINST THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! BUT, THAT MAY JUST BE WHERE HIKARI KANNO WANTS HIM! RUNNING DOUBLE KNEES TO THE BACK OF XAVIER WILLIAMS! HIKARI HITS XAVIER FULL FORCE BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP ONTO THE TOP ROPE! HIKARI FOLLOWING XAVIER UP! THIS MAY NOT END WELL FOR EITHER PERSON HERE!

Persephone: Come on, break your necks and put me out of my misery!

Rich Russillo: HIKARI’S TRYING TO POSITION HERSELF ON THE TOP ROPE WITH XAVIER WILLIAMS, BUT HE KNOWS THAT HE CAN’T ALLOW HER TO HIT THIS! IF HIKARI HITS THIS IDOL STAR DROP THAN THEY CAN KISS THEIR CHAMPIONSHIP ASPIRATIONS AWAY! XAVIER WITH AN ELBOW TO THE JAW OF HIKARI! ANOTHER! ANOTHER! HIKARI FIRES BACK WITH A CLUB TO THE BACK, BUT XAVIER SWINGS HIS HEAD BACK AND SMASHES HIKARI STRAIGHT IN THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE! HIKARI’S LEGS SLIPS OUT FROM UNDER HER AND SHE FINDS HERSELF IN A BAD POSITION SEATED ON THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE, SOMEHOW CATCHING HERSELF ON THE TOP ROPE! XAVIER’S PUSHING HIMSELF UP AND TURNS!

James Peters: BUT HE DOESN’T SEE THE TAG FROM MIKU SAKAI! HIKARI HAS NOWHERE TO GO! DIVING DOUBLE FOOTSTOMP FROM XAVIER WILLIAMS TO ONE HALF OF THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!! HIKARI KANNO DRIVEN DOWN INTO THE CANVAS, BUT SHE’S NOT THE LEGAL COMPETITOR!

Rich Russillo: NIGHT NIGHT!!!! XAVIER TURNS STRAIGHT INTO THAT CODEBREAKER FROM MIKU SAKAI!!! MIKU SAKAI WITH THE COVER!!!!

ONE!!!!!!!… TWO!!!!!!!!… THRE-KICKOUT!!!!!

Rich Russillo: XAVIER JUST MANAGES TO KICK OUT!!!

James Peters: You can tell the faith that Harlow Reichert has in Xavier; she could have broken that pin, but it’s like she knew that Xavier would find a way to get his shoulder up after that Night Night from Miku Sakai! But, Miku now calls for the end! If that shot wasn’t enough, what she has planned next will be! Miku makes her way up onto the apron; you know what she wants to hit! She wants that Skyfall! Xavier slowly, slowly making his way to his feet! Miku is perched! Miku is ready! Xavier’s finally back to his feet – and gets straight out of dodge the moment he sees Miku! Xavier rolls out of the ring as this crowd shows him exactly what they think of him!

Persephone: Obviously the guy that mentored Sexy Rexy is going to have something up his sleeve, unfortunately.

James Peters: BUT, MIKU JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND SHOOTS ACROSS THE RING! TOPE CON HI- NO!!! HARLOW CUT HER OFF WITH A SUPERKICK FROM THE APRON! MIKU PLUMMETS BACK OFF THE TOP ROPE AND INTO THE RING! XAVIER TAPPING HIS HEAD; THAT WAS AN OBVIOUS PLAN THAT JUST WORKED PERFECTLY!!! XAVIER SLIDES STRAIGHT BACK INTO THE RING!!! TAG!!! XAVIER TAGS HARLOW AND THEY BOTH STALK!!! MIKU IS DAZED; SHE’S STUNNED!!! SHE’S SOMEHOW BACK TO HER FEET!!! SUPERKICK FROM XAVIER WILLIAMS!!! A SPINNING BACKFIST FROM HARLOW!!! ROUNDHOUSE FROM XAVIER!!!! A STRAIGHT RIGHT FROM HARLOW!!! BRUTAL, REPEATED SHOTS FROM THE CHALLENGERS!!!! XAVIER POWERS HER UP INTO AN ARGENTINE BACKBREAKER POSITION!!!! HARLOW CALLS FOR THE END!!!! WE MAY BE ABOUT TO CROWN NEW TAG CHAMPIONS!!!! LES MISERABLES!!!! KNEE TO THE HEAD OF MIKU SAKAI!!! XAVIER DROPS HER DOWN WITH A RACK BOMB!!!

Rich Russillo: HARLOW WITH THE COVER!!!

ONE!!!!!… TWO!!!!!….

Rich Russillo: NO!!!! HIKARI JUST BREAKS UP THE COVER!!!! HIKARI KANNO SAVES THEIR TITLES!!!!

James Peters: But for how long! Miku isn’t moving! It may just be a matter of time! Xavier grabs Hikari and throws her to the outside and lands right in front of our table! Harlow looking across at the corner; you have to believe that the next team to hit something big will walk out of Pain for Pride as the Unified Tag Team Champions!

Rich Russillo: Look at the look in the eyes of Xavier Williams! He may be looking to end Hikari Kanno’s Pain for Pride a little prematurely early! Both Harlow and Xavier exchange a look; Harlow nods her head!

Harlow Reichert: We end this.

Rich Russillo: XAVIER SHOOTING OUT OF THE RING AND GRABS HIKARI KANNO! HARLOW MAKING HER WAY UP ONTO THE APRON! MIKU SAKAI IS IN THE SAME POSITION AS SHE HAD HER PARTNER TONIGHT AT PAIN FOR PRIDE A YEAR AGO! XAVIER FORCES HIKARI BACK TO HER FEET AND PULLS HER IN! WE MAY HAVE TO GET OUT OF DODGE! XAVIER POWERING HIKARI KANNO UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AS HARLOW BEGINS TO MAKE HER WAY UP TO THE TOP ROPE! BUT, HIKARI FIGHTS! XAVIER WILLIAMS WANTS TO POWERBOMB HIKARI THROUGH OUR TABLE, BUT SHE’S GOING TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT WHILE SHE HAS SOMETHING LEFT IN THE TANK! HIKARI FIGHTING WITH FOREARMS! SHE’S ABLE TO FIGHT BACK DOWN TO HER FEET! XAVIER SWINGS WITH A WILD RIGHT HAND – BUT, SHE DUCKS UNDERNEATH AND CATCHES XAVIER! OH MY GOD! BRIGHTSTAR! SHE JUST SENT XAVIER WILLIAMS CRASHING ATOP OF OUR ANNOUNCERS TABLE WITH THAT HIGH ANGLE URANAGE SLAM!

James Peters: ALL HARLOW COULD DO IS WATCH; IT’S NOW OR NEVER! MIKU STILL HASN’T MOVED! WUTHERING HEIGHTS!!!! CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!!! NO!!! MIKU MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!!!! HARLOW LANDS ON HER FEET – BUT THE MOMENT SHE TURNS AROUND HIKARI KANNO ALMOST TURNS HER INSIDE OUT WITH A RUNNING BICYCLE KNEELIFT!!! HARLOW GOES DOWN!!!

Persephone: Fuck, I don’t care who wins at this point. Just end the match!

Rich Russillo: Blood coming from the mouth of Harlow Reichert as Hikari Kanno helps Miku Sakai back up to her feet. I don’t know how after that shot, but Harlow with determination in her eyes drags herself across the ring and forces herself back to her feet with the help of the ropes as Miku Sakai tags Hikari back into the match! Miku just rolls onto the apron; the effects of this match are so evident! These four may be just running off fumes, but Hikari Kanno is undoubtedly in prime position! Harlow Reichert isn’t going to like what’s waiting for her! Harlow’s back up – and Hikari with a knee to the midsection and pulls her in! HIKARI WANTS TO END THIS WITH THAT ALLELUIA, BUT HARLOW’S ABLE TO FIGHT OUT OF IT AND SLIP OVER THE SHOULDER OF HIKARI KANNO! HIKARI TURNS INTO A FOREARM FROM HARLOW! HIKARI RETURNS THE FAVOUR WITH ONE OF HER OWN! HARLOW FIRES WITH ANOTHER! HIKARI KANNO DOESN’T BACK DOWN! HARLOW! HIKARI! HARLOW! HIKARI! HARLOW! HIKARI!

James Peters: HIKARI SWINGS WITH A WILD RIGHT HAND, BUT HARLOW DUCKS UNDERNEATH AND FIRES WITH A SHOT TO THE RIB! HARLOW FIRES WITH A KICK TO THE INNER THIGH! WHAT A HEADBUTT! HARLOW, JUST LIKE XAVIER EARLIER IN THE MATCH, CRACKS HIKARI IN THE NOSE WITH A HEADBUTT! HIKARI FALLS BACK INTO THE ROPES AND STUMBLES BACK FORWARD! HARLOW POWERS HIKARI UP ONTO HER SHOULDERS, BUT HIKARI WITH AN ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! THEY BOTH KNOW HOW DIRE THIS IS; THEY KNOW THEY NEED TO FIGHT! REPEATED, UNFORGIVING ELBOWS TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD OF HARLOW REICHERT AND SHE DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE! HIKARI KANNO SUCCESSFULLY FIGHTS DOWN TO HER FEET!! HARLOW FALLING DOWN TO HER HANDS AND KNEES AS HIKARI PULLS DOWN HER KNEEPAD! HIKARI MAY BE LOOKING FOR THAT DEFINITIVE FINAL BLOW! SHE HITS THE ROPES, BUT HARLOW SHOOTS BACK UP AND PAST HIKARI!!! SHE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE!!!! ASHES OF THE PHOENIX!!! NO!!! HIKARI CAUGHT HER IN MID AIR BY THE LEGS!!!

Rich Russillo: HARLOW’S TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT, BUT HIKARI TRAPS HER ARMS!!! HITODENASHI DRIVER!!!! HARLOW HAS BEEN DRIVEN DIRECTLY ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD WITH THAT CRADLE kiPILEDRIVER!!!! SHE HOLDS THE PIN!!!!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!….

 TWO!!!!!!!!!!….

James Peters: KING’S FALL?!?!?!

Rich Russillo: XAVIER WILLIAMS WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD OF HIKARI KANNO!!! THAT SHOT ROLLS HIKARI FORWARD AND THE MOMENTUM HAS HARLOW ON TOP OF HER!!! XAVIER’S DOWN ON THE CANVAS AS THE REFEREE COUNTS!!!! WE’RE ABOUT TO CROWN NEW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!… 

TWO!!!!!!!!!!… 

THREE!!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: NO!!! MIKU SAKAI LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AND JUST MANAGES TO BREAK IT UP!!!! ALL FOUR COMPETITORS ARE DOWN, BUT THESE FANS ARE ALL ON THEIR FEET!!!

James Peters: All four of these Elitists are showing how much walking out at Unified Tag Team Champions mean to them! All four slowly drag themselves across the ring; dragging themselves back to their feet with the help of the ropes! They stand on opposite sides of the ring, leaning up against the ropes. I do not know what any of these four have left, but it can’t be much! You can see the blood coming from the mouth of Harlow Reichert and the nose of Hikari Kanno! AND THEY ALL MEET IN THE MIDDLE! MIKU TRADING SHOTS WITH XAVIER WILLIAMS! HARLOW AGAINST HIKARI! HARLOW FORCING HIKARI BACK UP AGAINST THE ROPES WITH FOREARMS, BUT LOOK AT MIKU SAKAI! SHE’S DUCKS UNDER A SHOT FROM XAVIER AND CRACKS HIM RIGHT UNDER THE JAW WITH A JUMPING KNEE! HIS LEGS FALLING OUT FROM UNDER HIM, MAYBE FOR A MOMENT TURNING HIS LIGHTS OUT! MIKU SAKAI HITS HARLOW FROM BEHIND!

Persephone: You have them where you want them! Kill them!

Rich Russillo: Harlow falls straight into a front facelock from Hikari Kanno! Hikari drives her knee into the stomach and chest of Harlow as Miku turns her attention to Xavier and sends him rolling out of the ring with a sliding knee, this time connecting to the side of the head! Hikari and Miku exchange a look before Miku begins to make her way up to the top rope! Harlow is trying to fight, but she barely has the strength to do so as Hikari Kanno powers her up onto her shoulders and into that electric chair position! These simps at ringside know that their IDOL-GUN are about to add another successful championship defense at the biggest stage in this entire business! NEVER FADING IDOL FAME!!!! HARLOW REICHERT DRIVEN INTO THE CANVAS WITH THAT ELECTRIC CHAIR TORNADO DDT COMBINATION!!! HIKARI HOOKS THE LEGS!!!! THE CHAMPIONS HAVE RETAINED THEIR UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

James Peters: NO THEY HAVE NOT!!!! HARLOW BARELY, BARELY GETS HER SHOULDER OFF THE CANVAS!!!!! THERE WASN’T ANY AUTHORITY IN IT, BUT SHE GOT HER SHOULDER ABOUT IN INCH OFF THE CANVAS!!!! FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS MATCH, POSSIBLY, MAYBE IDOL GUN MAY HAVE THE SLIGHTEST HINT OF SHOCK!!!! They’re both back to their feet and they see Xavier trying to force himself back up to his feet on the outside. 

James Peters: They know that this is their moment to vanquish another team in this incredible reign! Hikari Kanno and Miku Sakai are more than happy to put that final nail in the coffin of both Xavier Williams and Harlow Reichert’s Pain for Pride! Xavier’s back up in front of our table as Miku shoots across the ring AND FLIES OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A TOPE CON HILO!!!! NO!!!!! NO!!!! XAVIER CAUGHT HER ON HIS SHOULDERS!!!! XAVIER WAS BARELY ABLE TO KEEP HIS FOOTING AS MIKU SAKAI TRIES TO TURN IT INTO A HURRICANRANA, BUT XAVIER BLOCKS IT – AND SWINGS HIKARI KANNO RIB FIRST INTO THE EDGE OF OUR TABLE!!!! YOU COULD HEAR THE GASP AS ALL THE AIR LEAVES HER BODY!!!!

Persephone: :lupe:

Rich Russillo: Harlow’s back to a knee in the ring and she forces herself to stumble into Hikari’s corner as she pushed up to her feet; she couldn’t hit HIkari, but she cut off the distance Hikari needed to connect with whatever she had in mind!

James Peters: LOOK AT XAVIER! HE ISN’T DONE WITH MIKU! HE POWERS MIKU BACK UP AND DRIVES HER INTO THE EDGE OF THE APRON WITH A POWERBOMB! HE STILL REFUSES TO LET HER GO; YOU CAN SEE MIKU’S ARMS SHAKING FROM THE TRAUMA TO HER BACK AFTER THAT!!! SHE FORCES HER BACK UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS ONE LAST TIME – AND SENDS HER OVER THE BARRICADE AND CRASHING INTO SIMPLOW AND SIMPVIER SITTING AT RINGSIDE!!!!! MIKU SAKAI LEFT LAYING IN A PILE OF SIMPS!!! XAVIER WILLIAMS HAS TAKEN OUT ONE HALF OF THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS AS THE OTHER STILL LOOKS TO PUT HARLOW AWAY!!!!

Rich Russillo: Hikari’s forcing Harlow up onto the middle rope by a handful of her hair! She knows that her partner is out, but it may have been the last of Xavier’s energy as he struggles ringside! This match may be down to these two and Hikari Kanno finds herself in prime position! Harlow tries to fight, but Hikari smashes her in the mouth with a forearm!

Hikari Kanno: (off-mic) You should have just done the same as your brother, you dumb cunt.

Rich Russillo: Hikari forces Harlow up onto the top rope and puts Harlow into position! She may not only be looking to retain IDOL-GUN’s championships, but end Harlow’s career! This doesn’t end well! This never ends well! HIKARI WANTS THAT ALLELUIA OFF THE TOP ROPE, BUT HARLOW’S TRYING TO BLOCK! HIKARI CONNECTS WITH A HEADBUTT AS HARLOW’S LEGS SLIP OUT FROM UNDER HER, BUT SHE FORTUNATELY LANDS ON THE TOP ROPE; HER LEGS TRAPPED AS SHE HANGS! HIKARI SHAKES HER HEAD AS SHE FORCES HARLOW BACK UP, BUT HARLOW GRABS A HOLD OF HER AND SENDS HER OVERHEAD!!!! 

James Peters: STRAIGHT INTO AN ASHES OF THE PHOENIX FROM XAVIER WILLIAMS!!!! THERE WASN’T ANYTHING THAT HIKARI KANNO COULD HAVE DONE TO COUNTER IT!!!! HIKARI IS DOWN!!!! HIKARI IS OUT!!!! HARLOW FINDS HERSELF ONTO THE TOP ROPE; HER LEGS BEHIND CAUGHT JUST PUT HER IN THE PERFECT POSITION!!!! HIKARI HASN’T MOVED!!!! THE SIMPS AT RINGSIDE HAS PUT MIKU BACK OVER THE BARRICADE AS SHE’S TRYING TO FORCE HERSELF BACK INTO THE RING, BUT IT MUST FEEL LIKE THERE’S A MILLION MILES BETWEEN HER AND THE RING!!!! HARLOW STEADIES HERSELF!!!! WUTHERING HEIGHTS!!!!! HARLOW REICHERT WITH THE CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS TO HIKARI KANNO!!!!! THE COVER!!!! HARLOW DOESN’T EVEN HAVE THE ENERGY TO HOOK THE LEG!!!!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: MIKU’S TRYING TO FORCE HERSELF BACK INTO THE RING!!!!

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!

James Peters: BUT SHE CAN’T!!!!!!

THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

(“Eye of the Tiger” by New Found Glory hits as Harlow Reichert remains unmoved on top of Hikari Kanno. Miku Sakai slides off the apron and falls ringside as the referee grabs Unified Tag Team Championships and hands them to Xavier Williams.)

Bella Braxton: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH… AND THE NEWWWWWWW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!!! XAVIER WILLIAMS AND HARLOW REEEEEICHEEEERRTTTT!!!!

James Peters: THEY DID IT!!! XAVIER WILLIAMS AND HARLOW REICHERT HAVE BEATEN IDOL-GUN AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!!!!

Persephone: Fucking finally.

Rich Russillo: Both teams left absolutely everything out there in front of the world, but by god; we have new Unified Tag Team Champions!

(Xavier Williams slowly makes his way across to Harlow and hands over her championship as the two embrace in the middle of the ring. Miku is seen sitting ringside devastated, with all the simps ringside in tears after watching their IDOL’s fall.)

James Peters: You can see how much this means to the new champions; this has been a season filled with heartbreak and this has to make it all worth it! The chance to stand alongside each other on the grandest stage in this business and call yourself CHAMPIONS!

(The camera cuts to Hikari Kanno sitting in the corner, a nasty scowl on her face as he watches Xavier and Harlow leave with the championships both IDOL-GUN members held proudly. Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams gingerly stand on the stage, raising their newly won championships high into the air as the camera fades elsewhere.)

(The camera fades to the backstage locker room area, deep in the halls of SoFi Stadium. It slides across to reveal Jamie O’Hara beginning to lace up his boots ahead of his Answers World Championship match with Kassidy Heart. A similar, stoic expression on his face as he finds time to kill until he, in his mind, kills the Answers World Champion later this evening)

????: There you are…

(A voice is heard bouncing around the room. A smile impossible to dash from his face appears on Jamie’s face as he rises off the bench. The person was none other than the Goddess herself, Cameron Ella Ava. He wraps his arms around his wife and gives her a kiss. The two pause and enjoy the moment before Jamie takes a step back and admires his wife’s attire for her match. Speechless, he can’t help but reflect on where they were a year ago)

Jamie O’Hara: You know I can’t believe it’s been an entire year already; since putting all of that behind us and moving on. I was honest when I said that was the most perfect moment of my career just because I got to hold you afterwards and share such an important part of my career. And now you’re back, healthy and I couldn’t be happier for you.

Cameron Ella Ava: When it comes to you and this place though, the more things change the more they stay the same. There is something I need to ask you about and I don’t want you to get mad or anything.

(Jamie guides his wife to sit beside him on the bench as he continues to get ready for his match)

Cameron Ella Ava: It’s just I’m worried. I didn’t want it to ruin Fathers Day and I know this week has been a busy one with all the events and engagements and maybe this still isn’t the best time but…what happened on Showdown? You weren’t yourself and you haven’t really been all there since…well…since Kassidy got the better of you. But Jalyn…

(O’Hara looks up at his wife’s rather concerned face with a bit of confusion before realising what she was talking about)

Jamie O’Hara: mmmh? Oh. Jalyn made his own decisions, I can’t be to blame for what happened to him. The kid was given everything he could ever ask for entering this company and whatever decisions he made thereafter are for him to deal with the consequences of. If that means finding yourself in a match like he did on Saturday night then I don’t know what I could have done.

Cameron Ella Ava: You could have stopped it…

Jamie O’Hara: And what would that have taught the boy? He ran away from his problems once, he ran away when things got difficult a second time. After everything I did for him, training him and readying him to become some future ‘Ace’ he turned his back on it all. I’m not upset that he made his own choice and wanted to put this behind him okay? I’m glad he made a choice, stuck with it and yeah it was unfair that he got dragged in but that’s life…

(O’Hara shrugs his shoulders and returns to preparing his gear for his match once again)

Cameron Ella Ava: “That’s life”? His shoulder is shattered, Jamie. They said it was like he was involved in a high speed car crash; he’s never going to recover, he’s never going to have complete use of that arm. What kind of lesson were you teaching him by abandoning him when he PLEADED with you to help him? You just sat there and watched his life be changed forever for zero reason–

Jamie O’Hara: **I DID WHAT I THOUGHT WAS FUCKING RIGHT–**

(Jamie, realising he had raised his voice, cuts himself off and takes a deep breath)

Jamie O’Hara: What happened, happened, I…I probably made a mistake but there’s nothing I can do to fix it other than beating the piss out of Kassidy Heart. I’m not going to let it distract me from tonight and of all the people I don’t want it to distract, it shouldn’t distract you either. I know how much tonight means to you. You’ve had this dream of competing at Pain For Pride in your hometown of Los Angeles…

(O’Hara pauses for the roar of the crowd to rise and fade in the background.)

Jamie O’Hara: …for such a long time that I don’t want anything to ruin it. Your entire family is here to watch you cap off what has been an unbelievable return. There is nobody in the world who has been a bigger inspiration for not just me, but for hundreds of thousands of others than you. To have suffered all those injuries, dealt with that rehab and recovery all while pregnant and then to be a loving, caring and incredible mother to our Hathaway for the last six months makes me struggle to believe that I’m such a lucky guy. You get to put the finishing touch, a Goddess’ touch on a spectacular return to EAW in front of everyone you love and hold so dear.

(A slight pause fills the air as Cameron holds back a tear. Jamie’s smile grows as he holds his wife closer)

Cameron Ella Ava: I don’t think nineteen year old me would believe it if she was told she would be realising that dream with a gorgeous baby boy and a wonderful husband watching. But you’re right. I have been waiting my entire career for the very moment I can walk into a Pain For Pride match in my hometown; ever since Pain For Pride 2. It’s the reason why I’m here…it’s the reason I met you and the reason why we have the family we have. 

(Cameron pauses and sighs)

Cameron Ella Ava: And for a while it didn’t seem like it was ever going to happen. I was so worried that my career was cut short and all my dreams went up in flames. It was the most physically and mentally demanding time of my life but you made it so much easier. And now my dream is our moment. You, me, Hathaway being able to look back on this night with so much joy; he gets to watch his mother and father do what they do best.

(Jamie can’t help but smile. For the first time in what seems like months, he appears like his normal self)

Jamie O’Hara: I’m sorry that I raised my voice and I’m sorry that I’ve worried you this last week but when tonight is over, when you and I win our matches, we can go home and I’ll figure out the mess I’ve made when this is all behind me. Kassidy, my career, this company. All of it. I promise you, that this will all be over. Whatever comes next, it’s all over.

(Jamie pulls Cameron in and she leans against him. He kisses the top of her head as he wraps an arm around her)

Jamie O’Hara: Now, go and beat Rex. Go and realise that dream you have had for over a decade now. You’re going to make everyone proud.

(Cameron turns her head and Jamie simply nods. She gives him a kiss before reaching to her feet and taking her leave towards the ring. Jamie sinks into his seat, not quite going back to how he was previously, but contemplating plenty as the camera fades to black)

(The camera transitions as the next match graphic appears on screen to the deafening cheers from the crowd)

(From there it then goes to the ring to show Bella Braxton standing at the center of it with a bright smile on her face and a mic in her hand)

Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for…

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!

(‘Champion’ by Barns Courtney blasts through the speakers of the arena to the positive reception of the crowd in response. It isn’t long afterwards that Rex McAllister makes his way out to the stage, hyped up and ready for the occasion especially considering the Free-Per-View. It’s a different sight this year to see Rex somewhere not present in the Pain For Pride main event but despite that, it doesn’t make a difference regardless. What doesn’t change is the motivation that he’s going to continue to have regardless as long as he’s in Elite Answers Wrestling soil. Rex scans the crowd who continues to show their reaction to the Hall of Famer, before he makes his way down the ramp and headed to the ring)

Bella Braxton: Introducing first… from Sea Isle, New Jersey… weighing in at 238 pounds… ‘THE ELITIST’… REX MCALLISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: And once again, Rex McAllister walks onto the Pain For Pride stage. A man who has had his share of Pain For Pride moments on the grandest stage, if there’s one thing I can say for certain it’s the fact that he’s looking for another. Last year Rex won the EAW World Championship from Andrea Valentine and while this match isn’t for a World Championship it doesn’t take away from the importance of this match in the slightest. 

James Peters: Rex has always been someone to make the best out of any situation that he finds himself in, and tonight he’s looking to get a big win under his belt to end Season 14 and enter Season 15 strong. And no matter the hurdle or roadblock that seems to be standing in his way, I’m sure the man wouldn’t have it any other way.

Persephone: :whew: IS IT GETTING HOT IN HERE OR IS IT JUST SEXY REXY MCALLISTER I SEE IN MY VIEW?! IT’S TIME! REX MCALLISTER WALKS INTO HIS FOURTH CONSECUTIVE PAIN FOR PRIDE MAIN EVENT, ICONSIDERITSOBECAUSENOBODYCARESABOUTDRAKEORMALCOLM. AND KICKS ASS LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES! WHAT A FUCKING KING! WHAT A FUCKING KING!

(Rex stops at the bottom of the ramp and paces around for a moment before making his way up the steel steps and onto the apron. He hypes the crowd up with a big smile on his face before he jumps into the ring and spreads his arms out. He looks around once more before turning on his heels and climbing up to the top rope in his corner. ‘Champion’ fades out as the crowd continues to chant Rex’s name as he stands on the top rope with a straight look on his face)

(The lights shut off before placing a spotlight in the middle of the stage. A little girl, who looks at least five years old, is seen sitting down on the stage as a huge storybook is placed in front of her. The title of the book is called “The Story of The Goddess” as it is printed in a medieval cursive font. She slowly goes to approach the book to open it, but the book flies open before landing on a page. The little girl stands back as a female voice-over begins to read her the story.)

Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover)  When I was a little girl, my mom used to tell me and my twin sister, Consuela stories about these heroes — superheroes, mythological heroes, and anything with a story. Consuela would pass out before the story was finished, but I was always fascinated with them. I used to think that they were larger than life beings and I grew up and told my mom that I wanted to be a superhero and instead of laughing at me or telling me that I was way over my head, she encouraged me and assured me that I can be one if I put my mind too it. 

Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) As I got a little bit older, I realized that being a superhero was a little of an unrealistic career route for someone like me, but it wasn’t until I reached middle school, where my home life would become a challenge for me and my sisters. My dad worked Mondays to Fridays and when he wasn’t at work, he was drinking and inviting his friends over. At some point, it became difficult to bear as that drinking turned into abuse. I needed to find an escape and one of my P.E. teachers told me about some wrestling show happening in our gym and they needed help with cleaning the gym, assembling small things for the show and me, looking for anything to escape, decided to get my twin sister to tag along to one of the shows.

(Suddenly, like a pop-up book, a hologram of the same wrestling ring in Cameron Ella Ava’s middle school begins to pop up, startling the little girl.)

Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) So every Saturday and Sunday, I would be at the gym, helping out any way I can. After I was done with those chores, I would sit back and watch the show. I didn’t really think much of it, but it wasn’t until I watched this one guy slicing the forehead of this other guy with a pizza slicer I’m pretty sure the lunch lady used to cut the pizza on that Friday. Let’s just say that I avoided pizza for the rest of the year because knowing how cheap our school was, they weren’t buying replacements.

Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) Where was I? Oh yeah, so since then, wrestling became a part of my life and inspired me to go out for the cheerleading squad in high school. I was the base and despite being skinny, the coach was shocked that I was able to carry one of our flyers on the shoulder because she deemed it was impossible for someone as skinny as me to hold that much strength. But yeah, wrestling is still important and I began to watch our local wrestling shows. I even got one of my younger sisters, Camille, to be invested in the sport and it’s safe to say that she was more obsessed with wrestling than me. It wasn’t until I turned eighteen where I made the decision to pursue wrestling, but my mom wanted me to go to college. I did half a semester of college, but it felt too much like high school and I’m not looking to repeat that shit again. So, I dedicated my life to wrestling full time.

(A hologram video of an eighteen-year-old Cameron Ella Ava training in a local wrestling school in Los Angeles plays.)

Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover)  About a year later, Camille won tickets from a debate competition she had and it was four tickets to Pain for Pride II at the Staples Center. EAW began to be one of the hottest wrestling companies at the moment, so getting front row tickets was almost impossible at that point. Me, my twin sister, Consuela, Camille, and my youngest sister, Candice all sat in the front row and watched the spectacle. 

(A hologram video of Pain for Pride II begins to play. Small brief clips of matches like Montell Smooth versus Ronn Banks, Hair versus Hair match with Lethal Consequences and Impact, Cash in the Vault and Extreme Enigma winning the match, The Heart Break Boy versus StarrStan, Jaywalker versus Mr. DEDEDE, and Mak versus Captain Charisma versus Mister K.)

Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) To me, these characters were out of life…like the superheroes that my mom would read to me and my sisters every night. The event was truly something to remember and it cemented my aspirations to get to EAW and be part of Pain for Pride the next time it came to Los Angeles. That was a promise that I made to a nineteen-year-old Cameron Ella Ava.

(The book flips some pages by itself before landing on another page. This time, a hologram pops up as it plays small clips of Cameron Ella Ava during the first few years of EAW. From winning her first Vixens Championship to having feuds with the likes of Christy Cruise, Kendra Shamez, and Cleopatra and having her moment at Pain for Pride 6 with her dethroning Cleopatra and her year-long Vixens Championship reign.)

Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) About two years later, I got signed by EAW. I would have been lucky to have won just one championship because all I wanted to do was to buy my mom the house that she deserved and I did that in two years. But, I could not forever be blessed with the opportunities that I’ve gained over the years. Being part of this company has been a rollercoaster of events.

(A hologram pop-up as Cameron Ella Ava’s journey in EAW plays. From the highs and lows, it’s safe to say that this woman has been put through so much, but her spirit and determination are what keeps her going. From her heartbreaking relationships to her rivalry with Mr. DEDEDE and getting hit with a Flaming Equalizer to all of her crowning achievements are highlighted.)

Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) It’s been an insane journey, but one of the things that I never expected to happen was to find my soulmate.

(A hologram pop-up of Cameron Ella Ava and Jamie O’Hara looking at each other across the ring after their battle at Pain for Pride 9.)

Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) And to have him…

(A hologram of Hathaway, their son, pops up from the book.)

Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) Damn, I told myself I wasn’t gonna cry, but I’m fortunate for what wrestling has done for me. It’s saved my life in a way. I bought my mom a house, paid for my sister Candice’s rehab and treatment, and helped pay the funeral expenses that Consuela needed to give her ex-fiancee the proper burial he needed. Most importantly, it gave me a sense of purpose. It allowed me to escape my everyday life and pretend to be a superhero. Until, I realized…

(A hologram of her niece, Chloe Olivia in a Cameron Ella Ava snapback and t-shirt, pop-up from the storybook.)

Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) I became an actual superhero to kids like my niece and I didn’t need to wear a cape or anything. I just needed to show resilience and the ability to never give up. After being hit with that Flaming Equalizer and *returning* a year later, I had peers looking at me backstage, not believing that I’m standing and I look in better shape than I did before. Despite going through two difficult things in 2020 — a Flaming Equalizer and childbirth, I have returned stronger than ever. I have become a superhero to those who thought that I was done at Grand Rampage in 2020. Being a superhero means that I need to do things that a normal person couldn’t do and I like to think returning from being hit with an Equalizer is one of those things. Not only that but the ability to sacrifice and think of others before yourself.

(A hologram pops up of the yearly Ava Family Christmas Card with her mother Carmen, her sisters, Consuela, and her daughter Chloe; Camille and Candice, and right next to her are her husband Jamie and her son, Hathaway.)

Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) Tonight is super important to me. It’s one of the first things that I’ve done for myself in a while. A chance to fulfill the promise of the nineteen-year-old Cameron Ella Ava and perform in front of her hometown.

(The hologram that popped up from the giant storybook disappears before a hologram appears above the ring of the Oculus ring of SoFi Stadium. Inside the ring, holograms appear of Cameron Ella Ava over the years, preparing for battle inside the ring.)

Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) The last time I was in a stadium in Los Angeles, I was nothing more than a girl with dreams. Now, Pain for Pride returns to Los Angeles and I take my place as “The Goddess.”

(The lights go off in the stadium completely.) 

(‘ULTRAnumb’ (Exterminated Remix) by Blue Stahli begins to blast through the speakers, giving a THUNDEROUS reception for the hometown girl. It pans to the same storybook from earlier as the book splits apart, making a hole in the middle. A golden spotlight shines in the middle as Cameron Ella Ava, who is dressed as a golden goddess, rises up from the ground. She has a golden crown on her head as a long, sparkling golden train flows right behind her. She is looking VERY elegant and the goddess that she is as she looks around the sea of EAW Universe who is giving her the love and reception that she is worthy of. :wow: )

Bella Braxton: And his opponent… from Los Angeles, California… weighing in at 140 pounds… THE GODDESS… CAMERON ELLA AVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: What an entrance by the hometown hero! You can tell that just from that, this match means alot to her. She dreamt of being on this stage ever since she was 19 sitting amongst the sea of people at Pain For Pride 2. And 10 Pain For Pride events that she has competed in later, I think she has more than accomplished that.

James Peters: This stands out from the rest more than anything else. She has the chance to fight in her hometown to an extremely positive reception from the masses and put on a show that absolutely nobody will forget. “Career-threatening injury” or not, absolutely nothing has stopped her from getting to this point. And win or lose, that is absolutely applaudable.

(The golden spotlight continues to follow Cameron as she elegantly makes her way up the steps. She looks out to the dark abyss that is meant to be the EAW Universe as she enters into the ring and makes her way towards the center. As soon as she spreads her arms out at the center, the lights come back to normal to the cheers of the crowd once more. Cameron scans the arena as she nods before making her way towards her corner. She takes off her golden crown and bestows it into the hands of the referee as ‘ULTRAnumb’ (Exterminated Remix) fades out as the ref signals for the bell)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Rich Russillo: Here we go as what should be an instant classic of a match is underway! Rex and Cameron are already preying on one another, beginning to circle around the ring and slowly inching towards one another and meeting at the center. Both of them are engaging now as they lock up into a Collar-and-Elbow tie up! Both of them are in the feeling out process of this match as they jockey for position in hopes of getting the upper hand. Rex manages to swiftly maneuver around Cameron and lock in a waist lock! But Cameron quickly wraps her arm around his neck as she turns it around and takes him down to the mat before cinching in a grounded headlock to counter! Cameron keeps it locked in, but Rex uses his hand to shove her away before locking in a headscissors! Rex manages to quickly turn it around in his favor once more, squeezing her head with his legs! Rex keeping it locked in, but not for long as Cameron manages to stretch her leg out and rest it on the bottom rope calling for a rope break!

James Peters: They’re slowly rising back up, testing the waters for the time being before really getting into the nitty gritty of this match. Where they engage in another lock up! Both of them are focusing on jockeying for position as Rex is beginning to get the better of Cameron pushing her towards the ropes, before sending her to the opposite pair of ropes with an Irish whip! Cameron tries to respond, BUT REX MAKES HIS WAY TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING AND TAKES CAMERON DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE!

Persephone: YESSSSSSS! I DON’T REALLY CARE FOR THIS PURE WRESTLING SHIT BUT MY SEXY REXY IS ABSOLUTELY BEATING HER ASS RIGHT NOW! COME ON REXY! YOU GOT THIS!

Rich Russillo: Cameron is taken down to the mat with a thud as Rex looks to follow up immediately after running to the ropes and back! But Cameron slides under that as Rex jumps over and rebounds off the opposite pair of ropes, BEFORE BEING CAUGHT WITH A PICTURE PERFECT DROPKICK BY CAMERON! Cameron responding back, getting back up to her feet and waiting for Rex to do the same. BEFORE FOLLOWING UP WITH A BIG ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD!

James Peters: But there’s nobody home as Rex ducks his head and gets back up to his feet, BEFORE COUNTERING WITH A STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI! Cameron stumbles down to a knee as Rex grabs her by the head and picks her up, BEFORE LIFTING HER UP OFF THE GROUND AND TRANSITIONING INTO A SUPLEX! Cameron is sitting up in a world of hurt, but Rex isn’t concerned about that as he’s right back up to his feet and running to the ropes! BEFORE FOLLOWING UP AND CONNECTING WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE HEAD OF CAMERON TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE MAT! Rex quickly dropping down and going for the pin attempt!

OOONNNEEE!!!

Persephone: FUCK!

Rich Russillo: BUT CAMERON GETS THE SHOULDER UP! And let me just say right now it’s going to take much more than that to keep the hometown hero down for the count. Rex is right back up, Cameron doing the same following behind him. As Rex pops Cameron up onto his shoulders into a Fireman’s Carry! Cameron thinking on instinct though as already she’s beginning to attack with elbow strikes to the side of her head, Rex trying to keep ahold of her but Cameron is beginning to overwhelm the fellow Hall of Famer, as he places her back down to the mat! Cameron already right back on the attack as she grabs him and throws him towards the ropes with an Irish whip! REX REBOUNDING AS CAMERON TAKES ADVANTAGE GOING FOR AN EARLY ATTEMPT AT THE WONDER WOMAN PUNCH!

James Peters: But Rex saw it coming as he ducks under the forearm strike and turns around in place, GRABBING HER FROM BEHIND AND DROPPING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX BEFORE SHE CAN DO ANYTHING ELSE! Cameron grabbing her neck in pain as immediately she’s rolling over to the edge of the ring and grabbing ahold of the bottom rope. Rex seeing this as I don’t think he’s going to let her catch a break, RUNNING TOWARDS HER AND GOING FOR A BASEBALL SLIDE TO KNOCK HER OUT OF THE RING AND TO THE RINGSIDE AREA!

Persephone: BUT REX MAJESTICALLY SLIDES THROUGH HER CAUSE HE AIN’T GOT TIME FOR THAT BITCH!

Rich Russillo: But before Rex can connect Cameron manages to pull herself away leaving Rex meeting nothing but air and tumbling down to the ringside area!

Persephone: Mine was better.

Rich Russillo: Rex falling against the barricade, but he’s pulling himself back up to his feet in hopes of recovery before anything else can happen. BUT BEFORE HE CAN EVEN GET A BREATHER CAMERON LEAPS THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPES AND TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! Rex is stumbling back up to his feet clearly dazed, BUT CAMERON ISN’T DONE AS THIS TIME SHE GOES FOR A REPEAT! LEAPING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TAKING REX DOWN ONCE AGAIN WITH A TOPE CON HILO! Cameron grabbing Rex and rolling him into the ring as she slides back in herself, GOING FOR AVACADABRA! THE SHINING WIZARD!

James Peters: But Rex ducks under it just in the nick of time! Rex grabbing Cameron, AS HE ROLLS HER UP INTO A SCHOOL BOY ATTEMPT! But Cameron kicks out before the ref can even start a count! Both of them are back up, calculating their next move. CAMERON ALREADY TRYING TO REBOUND RUNNING TOWARDS REX AND GOING FOR SUNSET BOULEVARD! LEAPING OVER HIM AND GOING FOR A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!

Persephone: YES! YES! REXY KEEPING HIMSELF UP AND TURNING IT INTO A KNEELING BACK TO BELLY PILEDRIVER! LET’S FUCKING GO! GO FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT REXY! SHE’S DONE FOR!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO-

Rich Russillo: BUT NOT YET, CAMERON POWERS OUT! Rex is slowly beginning to mount a comeback but I don’t think Cameron is going to allow that. Both have alot their fighting for tonight and the stakes could not be any higher between the two of them. With two competitors like this, one wrong move could be their undoing. And I think both of them are continuing to keep this in their head as the match progresses. And quite possibly, the more desperate they get.

James Peters: I wouldn’t try and put that in the picture just yet, Rich. Rex is back up as he makes his way over to Cameron and grabs her by the arm bringing her back up as well. Rex sending her into an Irish whip towards the turnbuckle padding, BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS HER AND LEAPING UP INTO THE AIR WITH AN ATTEMPT OF A HIGH KNEE STRIKE TO HER FACE! But Cameron barely manages to avoid it as she retreats out of the corner! Cameron is still fighting as she runs to the ropes and back, BUT IS MET WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE BY REX WHICH TAKES HER DOWN TO THE MAT!

Persephone: COME ON REXY! YOU GOT THIS! NOW ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TAKE ADVANTAGE AND THAT DUMB BITCH IS COMPLETELY DONE FOR! SLAY!

Rich Russillo: Cameron grabbing her nose as she claws at the canvas to drag herself towards the ropes, but Rex has a hold of her already. Possibly looking to take advantage once more and keep the leverage that he has for the moment. CAMERON IS ON SPAGHETTI LEGS AS REX LIFTED HER OFF THE GROUND AND GOES FOR AN OLYMPIC SLAM TO ONCE AGAIN TAKE HER DOWN TO THE MAT!

James Peters: BUT CAMERON MANAGES TO SLIP OUT JUST IN TIME AND COUNTER WITH SNAPBACK! SNAPMARE FACEBREAKER TAKES REX DOWN INSTEAD AS CAMERON ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHH-

Persephone: YES! HE’S NOT DONE JUST YET YOU PLASTIC BIMBO! REX GETS THE SHOULDER UP AND KICKS OUT LIKE THE KING HE IS!

Rich Russillo: Cameron realizes that Rex isn’t done just yet as she’s right back up to her feet and to a vertical base to ready herself. Rex shaking himself off just a little stunned as he brings himself up to a knee, BUT IS MET WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW BY CAMERON TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Rex is immediately taken right back down before Cameron drags him back up. THIS TIME SETTING HIM UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION AND LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A BIG TURNBUCKLE POWERBOMB!

James Peters: BUT REX SLIPS OFF AND GOES UNDER TAKING CAMERON DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO HER KNEECAPS! And Rex is on the attack, targeting a joint and going for it as he seems to have his sights set on the left kneecap of Cameron! This is what you have to do in a wrestling match, AND REX KNOWS THAT AS HE BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH ELBOW DROP AFTER ELBOW DROP REPEATEDLY ONTO THE LEFT KNEECAP OF CAMERON! Rex knows that he has to get the advantage or it’s going to get much worse than what’s already happened!

Persephone: SHATTER THAT FUCKING KNEE! MAKE SURE THAT SHE CAN NEVER WALK AGAIN MY SEXY REXY! 

Rich Russillo: These are the types of adjustments that you have to make in a wrestling match in order to get back on top when the cards are stacked against you and I think Rex realizes that. REX GRABS CAMERON’S LEG AND IS NOW CONTINUING TO TARGET THAT KNEECAP LOCKING IN A SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRAB! Cameron is screaming in pain as she’s trying to find a way out, but I’d there’s one thing we can say for certain it’s the fact that she’s not going to give into the abrupt and overwhelming attack by the former World Champion! If there’s one thing that Cameron has to do is either find a way to counter it or crawl to the ropes and call for a ropebreak but I don’t think that’s going to be so easy especially against someone that is nearly two times her weight!

James Peters: Cameron has always had heart and that’s exactly what she has to utilize in the heat of the moment! Rex is continuing to drop as much weight as he can in order to keep Cameron locked down tight, but Cameron is pulling through planting her arms on the canvas and beginning to pull herself up! She’s trying to bring herself up in hopes of countering this as the ropes seem to feel miles away for her, it would be too late if she tried to crawl to the bottom rope! Rex is trying his best to keep her down, but Cameron managing to turn the tables as she falls flat on her back and begins to use her free leg to kick herself free from the grip of Rex! Rex trying his best to lock it back in, trying to grab the other leg of Cameron to keep her down, BUT CAMERON MANAGES TO FIND HER WAY OUT OF THAT SITUATION USING EXTREME FLEXIBILITY TO BRING HERSELF BACK UP AND TAKE REX DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A MONKEY FLIP!

Persephone: WHAT THE FUCK?! SHE HAD TO HAVE INJECTED SOMETHING INTO HER DURING THAT! REXY HAD HER, SHE WAS GOING TO TAP! REFEREE, CHECK HER!

Rich Russillo: Rex tumbling down to the mat after an absolutely beautiful counter by Cameron. You can see her slowly moving around, favoring that left knee but is continuing to push through and fight. Cameron following up as she brings Rex up, AND PULLS HIM IN BEFORE DRIVING HER KNEE RIGHT INTO HIS ABDOMEN! You know that had to hurt as Rex miraculously drops down to a knee, BUT NOT FOR LONG AS CAMERON CONNECTS WITH A HEEL KICK USING HER RIGHT LEG TO TAKE REX BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND!

James Peters: Once again Rex finds himself backed against a corner. It’s not a matter of if he’s going to find a way out of it, simply when? Rex slowly bringing himself up to a seated position feeling the effects of this match as it continues to go on, BUT CAMERON IS CONTINUING TO FIRE ON ALL CYLINDERS AND THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT REX IS CONCERNED WITH AS HE’S MET WITH A METEORA ATTEMPT BY ‘THE GODDESS’! But Rex manages to move out of the way of that leaving Cameron to land on her knees! Cameron stumbling up to her feet, hurting because of the impact of her landing going full force not expecting Rex to move out of the way! AS REX TAKES ADVANTAGE AND GRABS THE LEG OF CAMERON ONCE AGAIN TARGETING IT AND TAKING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A DRAGON SCREW!

Persephone: THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR IN A SEXY REXY MCALLISTER MATCH! ONE WAY OR ANOTHER HE’S GOING TO FIND A WAY TO BEAT YOUR ASS AND HE DID JUST THAT AGAINST THAT ANNOYING ASS HOE! NOW DO IT AGAIN REXY! DO IT AGAIN!

Rich Russillo: Cameron clearly in a world of hurt but she’s still pulling herself up to her feet, her will is trumping her pain at the moment! Frankly the name of this grand event is quite fitting, Pain For Pride :wow:. CAMERON THROWING A LARIAT ATTEMPT TRYING TO CATCH REX OFF GUARD! But Rex manages to duck under that as Cameron turns around, REX TRYING TO MEET HER WITH A SWIFT PELE KICK! But Cameron saw through that moving out of the way just in the nick of time! Rex falling to the ground, AS CAMERON RUNS TOWARDS HER AND GOES FOR THE WONDER WOMAN PUNCH! FOREARM SMASH!

James Peters: REX EFFECT! 

Persephone: ANDJENEWIWNWIWNWIENEIWNWJENEIENEIWNO2N2OWNWOWBWIEEIWBS

Rich Russillo: REX USING THE MOMENTUM TO DRIVE CAMERON HEADFIRST INTO THE MAT WITH THE FLOAT OVER TORNADO JUMPING EVENFLOW DDT! CAMERON IS COMPLETELY KNOCKED OUT, IF THERE WAS A CHANCE TO SECURE A VICTORY FOR REX IT WOULD BE RIGHT NOW! AND HE’S DOING JUST THAT AS HE SCRAMBLES FORWARD AND PINS CAMERON’S SHOULDERS ONTO THE MAT!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

…

…

…

James Peters: HOW THE HELL DID CAMERON ELLA AVA KICK OUT OF THE REX EFFECT?!

Persephone: HOW THE HELL DID THAT BITCH KICK OUT OF WHAT NOW?!?!?!?!?!?!

Rich Russillo: Honestly if you know Cameron by now, I’m absolutely baffled why you’d be surprised that she’s still fighting. This is a hometown crowd and you know that 19 year old Cameron Ella Ava would be absolutely shattered if she gave in at her tenth Pain For Pride in Los Angeles, California of all places. Quite frankly, I think Rex is going to have to kill her.

Persephone: GLADLY!

James Peters: Well we already know Rex’s track record as well. There’s a reason he’s as accomplished and decorated as he is and that’s because of his will to succeed and overall status as the standard bearer of an Elitist, his nickname of ‘The Elitist’ is not something that he says for play. Rex will go to all lengths to make sure he gets his way and I’m sure he has no problem facing what seems to be an impossible hurdle in the form of Cameron.

Persephone: Can you add the loving husband of Persephone Tsitsipas to that too? Thank you.

Rich Russillo: In all honesty though, Rex looks a little shocked. He’s slowly pulling himself up to his feet as you can see Cameron fluttering her eyes trying to regain consciousness after seemingly instinct pulled her out of that situation. Rex back up to his feet as he’s circling back around the ring, waiting for Cameron to get back up as you can see him contemplating what’s going to be next in this match and if I were him I’d find a way to keep Cameron down!

James Peters: Easier said than done as Cameron manages to get herself up to a knee, WHICH REX ISN’T LETTING GO ANY FURTHER AS HE RUNS FORWARD AND GOES FOR A KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE OF CAMERON! But just barely does Cameron bring her hands out in front of her and pushes his leg away sending Rex stumbling away! Cameron helping herself up, practically dragging that left leg behind her as she makes her way as Rex is back up himself!

Persephone: REXY COME ON! SHE’S LITERALLY WEAK AS FUCK! YOU GOT THIS! YOU GOT THIS! USE YOUR SUPERPOWERS!

Rich Russillo: CAMERON WITH THE WONDER WOMAN PUNCH BEFORE REX CAN DO ANYTHING! THE FOREARM STRIKE CONNECTS TAKING REX DOWN TO THE MAT! BUT CAMERON ISN’T GOING FOR THE PIN, SHE KNOWS THAT’S NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO KEEP REX DOWN ON THE MAT!

James Peters: Rex is down and out as Cameron rolls through, AND LOCKS IN AN ARM BAR! The arm bar is locked in as one way or another Cameron is looking to weaken Rex and take advantage of the opportunity that’s going to present itself as a result! Rex is trying to bring himself up to some sort of base at the moment but Cameron has the hold locked in tight! I don’t expect Rex to tap out to this but the longer that Cameron keeps this locked in the more danger that it’s going to be for the Hall of Famer once he escapes and the match continues!

Persephone: NO NO NO! FUCK! FUCK! COME ON REXY! I BELIEVE IN YOU!

Rich Russillo: Rex is continuing to persist but it seems like Cameron’s weak left kneecap Rex might have a vulnerable spot as well! Rex is trying to drag himself back up as Cameron seems desperate to keep the hold locked in for as long as she possibly can, BUT HE’S UP AS REX PICKS HIMSELF UP TO A KNEE AND IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO RAIN DOWN PUNCHES ONTO THE FACE OF CAMERON TO FORCE THE HOLD TO LOOSEN AT THE VERY LEAST!

James Peters: BUT THAT MIGHT NOT BE WHAT REX HAS PLANNED AS HE ROLLS THROUGH AND LOCKS IN A KNEEBAR THIS TIME! TARGETING CAM’S INJURED KNEE!

Persephone: BREAK IT! BREAK IT! BREAK IT!

Rich Russillo: Cameron is screaming in pain this time as all throughout this match Rex has found a target and stuck with it! Rex is trying to take Cameron out of commission so he can finish this match off but it hasn’t been so easy for him! Despite the immense pain that Cameron has gone through all throughout this match one thing that has stayed the same is the fact that she hasn’t given up! She’s continued to push through and that’s the qualities that an Elitist should have and the reason that she’s rose to stardom! Cameron is beginning to crawl now as I can’t seem to believe it! She’s fighting through the pain and dragging herself and Rex to the ropes! The question is, will it be too late!

James Peters: Cameron has never given up in her life and I don’t think she plans to begin tonight! You can see Rex trying his best to drop his weight and make sure that Cameron is kept in place but that’s not looking too easy for him especially considering the wear and tear that he’s been through in this match! Who will outlast the other?! IT’S CAMERON THAT MANAGES TO FIGHT THROUGH IT AS SHE BARELY PUTS HER FINGER ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! REX IS FORCED TO BREAK THE HOLD AS CAMERON MANAGES TO PERSEVERE!

Persephone: …

Rich Russillo: Both of them are scrambling up to their feet. BUT CAMERON WITH IN EXCELSIS ALA JAMIE O’HARA! CAMERON JUST DROVE HER INJURED LEFT KNEE INTO THE FACE OF REX BUT I DON’T THINK SHE CAN CAPITALIZED! SHE JUST DROPPED DOWN TO THE MAT!

(Cameron falls to a seated position as she grabs her knee in pain, clearly the impact didn’t go as smoothly as she expected to go. Immediately the ref makes his way over to check on Cameron and assess the situation, but before he can even say anything Cameron shoves him away and takes a deep breath)

POP!

James Peters: DID SHE JUST POP HER KNEE BACK INTO PLACE?!

Persephone: …

Rich Russillo: Cameron is screaming in pain but is fighting through it as she pulls herself close to the ropes to help herself up to her feet. Rex is slowly getting up as well, feeling the effects of the Bicycle Knee strike flush against his head. Rex slowly turning around trying to gain his bearings as he makes a run towards Cameron before things can get out of hand for him, GOING FOR A JUMPING CLOTHESLINE TO TAKE CAMERON DOWN!

James Peters: GODDESS RISING!

Persephone: Am I high, is something going on. This all must be just one crazy dream isn’t it? My brain is fucking with me, THIS CAN’T BE FUCKING HAPPENING!

Rich Russillo: STEP-UP AXE KICK COMPLETELY TAKES REX BY SURPRISE AND KNOCKS HIM OUT COLD! REX IS DOWN ON THE GROUND AS CAMERON COLLAPSES DOWN TO THE GROUND AS WELL! BOTH OF THEM HAVE BEEN THROUGH WEAR AND TEAR AND THIS MIGHT BE THE BREAKING POINT FOR REX MCALLISTER RIGHT HERE! CAMERON IS STILL FAVORING THAT KNEE AS SHE CRAWLS OVER TO REX, AND THROWS AN ARM OVER HIM! PIN ATTEMPT! PIN ATTEMPT!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

….

…

…

James Peters: THERE’S NO WAY THAT REX MCALLISTER JUST KICKED OUT OF THAT! HE GOT THE SHOULDER UP! HE GOT THE SHOULDER UP! 

Persephone: :oh: IT’S NOT A DREAM! REXY HAD THIS SCOUTED ALL ALONG AND WANTED TO GIVE CAMERON SOME FALSE HOPE AND COMPLETELY CRUSH HER DREAMS! THAT’S THE SUPER REXY I KNOW!

Rich Russillo: And the exhaustion on Cameron’s face says it all. She’s not all that surprised, but she’s going to have to continue to push through this match if she wants a victory and to be honest with you I don’t think she has a single problem with that. Cameron is slowly dragging herself up to her feet as Rex is barely beginning to show life, God knows how either of them are still moving at this point. But they are Hall of Famers for a reason, they’ve been through the wringer countless times and I’m sure they could go for another hour if they had to. That’s the dedication that you have to put into this business and is a testimony to how important a Pain For Pride victory is for everyone on the roster. It simply depends on the lengths you are willing to go in order to succeed and get what you want as a result. 

James Peters: Rex is beginning to stir as you know he wants to keep going in this match, none of them are going to settle for defeat especially if they want to make an impact heading into the next Season. Rex is trying to shake himself off in hopes of getting his head back into the game but if we know one thing for certain, it’s the fact that Cameron isn’t going to let that happen. Rex is backed up against the corner as he rests his head against the bottom turnbuckle, it’s seeming to be a struggle for him right now but Cameron isn’t going to let him take a break. AS CAMERON RUNS FORWARD AND GOES FOR A BOOT DEAD TO THE FACE OF REX!

Persephone: YES! BUT REXY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! DEDEDE WHO?! DEDEDE COULD FUCKING NEVER!

(Rex collapses down to the ground as he continues to drag himself up, Cameron collides with the corner but immediately recovers. Rex is planted up to a knee as he looks towards her with a straight look on his face)

Rex McAllister: (Off-Mic) You wanted the best, right? 

(The only response that Cameron gives, is a simple nod of determination)

Rex McAllister: (Off-Mic) I’m right here.

Rich Russillo: And those are fighting words from the Hall of Famer as Rex immediately steps forward and delivers a sharp elbow strike to the face of Cameron! Cameron is sent backwards but immediately begins to retaliate with a response of her own coming in hot with a mirroring elbow! Rex is sent backwards himself, but steps forward and this time sends a knee strike towards the abdomen of Cameron! Both of them are showing variety in their attacks, AS CAMERON STEPS FORWARD AND GOES FOR AN ENZUIGIRI! But Rex manages to duck under it as Cameron falls down to a knee, AND REX RUNS FORWARD TAKING CAMERON OUT WITH A SHINING WIZARD TO COUNTER!

James Peters: Cameron rolls out to the apron before Rex can fully capitalize. Rex stands up and makes his way over to Cameron, BUT CAMERON THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE SENDS A SHOULDER THRUST TO HIS GUT! Cameron making her way up to the top rope as Rex tries to collect himself, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION HE’S IN CAMERON LAUNCHES OFF THE TOP ROPE AND COMPLETELY LEVELS HIM WITH A BEAUTIFUL METEORA! WHAT HEIGHT BY ‘THE GODDESS’ TO QUICKLY TURN THE TIDES IN HER FAVOR! Cameron bringing herself up to her feet, the adrenaline coursing through her veins as Rex continues to push through the pain as well. Both of them have so much that they’re fighting for but only one can come out on top tonight. Rex attempting to get up and run towards Cameron, BUT CAMERON GOING FOR A SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE KICK!

Persephone: YES! MY REXY MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF IT BECAUSE HE’S THAT GOOD AND CAMERON FUCKING SUCKS!

Rich Russillo: Rex rolling out of the way and up to his feet as Cameron rolls to the ground and brings herself up to a knee as well. Cameron getting up and turning around, AS REX MEETS HER FLUSH AGAINST THE FACE WITH A SPINNING WHEEL KICK! CAMERON IS COMPLETELY KNOCKED TO THE GROUND AS REX HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR A PIN ATTEMPT! 

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTTWWWWOOOOO!!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

James Peters: BUT CAMERON GETS THE SHOULDER UP!

Persephone: NO! THAT SHOULD’VE BEEN IT! THAT SHOULD’VE BEEN FUCKING IT!

Rich Russillo: Rex already pops himself up to his feet as he’s circling around Cameron like a shark who’s just found his prey. Rex is anxiously waiting for him to get back up to his feet as he finally has the chance to turn the tides in this matchup for good! Cameron is slowly beginning to stir as Rex is readying himself for whatever is going to be the aftermath of this! RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND GOING FOR THE REX EFFECT! HE’S GOING FOR THE REX EFFECT ONE MORE TIME TO FINISH OFF THIS MATCH!

James Peters: BUT CAMERON TURNS IT AROUND INTO BREAKING BARRIERS!

Persephone: … :comeagain:

Rich Russillo: CAMERON CATCHES REX INTO THE ARGENTINE BACKBREAKER COUNTERING THE FLOAT OVER! WHAT A MOVE! WHAT A MOVE! CAMERON QUICKLY HOOKUNG THE LEG AND GOING FOR THE PIN! COULD THIS SPELL THE END OF THE MATCH RIGHT HERE?!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

…

…

…

(DING! DING! DING!)

(‘ULTRANUMB’ (Exterminated Remix) once more plays up to the thunderous cheers of the hometown crowd as Cameron slouches down to the canvas. Fighting through thick and thin to get the victory, it takes her a little bit to recuperate as the ref slowly begins to help her back up to her feet. She’s clearly emotional because of the circumstances of her victory as the ref raises her hand high in the air. With the adrenaline coursing through her veins, Cameron manages to limp on her own two feet as she climbs up to the top rope and puts her hand on her heart. Before pointing around at the boisterous Los Angeles crowd)

Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen here is your winner… CAMERON ELLA AVA!!!!!!!!!!!!

James Peters: Wow, I am completely in awe. We just saw two titans of the industry do battle in one hell of a match. Both of them clashing in a spectacle to behold, an iron man of a match if I do say so myself. When I say that they gave it their all for this match, that is a huge understatement. Both of them were looking to get a victory under their notch in their last match of Season 14 and they were going to stop at absolutely nothing to do just that. 

Persephone: …

Rich Russillo: But in the end only one could come out of the smoke standing tall, they couldn’t really meet in the middle in that regard. And the one that fought through all the trials and tribulations, is none other than Cameron Ella Ava herself. Solidifying herself as one of the best and showing exactly why she’s just that. At Pain For Pride in her hometown, the one thing that Cameron wanted was to prove herself against the best on the grandest stage. And when someone answered that call, Cameron delivered. Congratulations to Cameron on her victory here tonight! I repeat the same sentiments as Rich does, what a match.

(The camera pans over to see Rex McAllister seated on the barricade. He’s nursing his wounds and is clearly in a lot of pain, but one thing that is plastered onto his face is a light smile as he looks at Cameron’s celebration inside the ring. Before Cameron leaves, she simply nods to Rex on the outside before leaving through the ropes and making her way up the ramp. She smiles as the last shot seen is her standing at the middle of the ramp, spreading her arms out as pyro goes off behind her, before Pain For Pride fades away from ringside)

(The camera opens backstage following behind Lisa Wren walking the hallways of the arena as she approaches a corner she bumps into none other than the manager of The Visual Prophet, Dr. Angelo D’Angelo. Immediately it looks like stars in his eyes realizing who he’s bumped into)

Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Lisa! I can’t believe it! One of the few people in here I respect obviously because everywhere else I turn around in this company is just snow roach after snow roach! It’s not too often you see a face that isn’t one of them.  A face I can relate to, someone that understands me. Someone that doesn’t have the IKEA furniture face as white as a brand new pair of Air Force Ones. Speak to me! :ohlawd:

Lisa Wren: I know what you mean king! These walkie chalkies are plastered everywhere in this evil company, I bet they are planning another way to oppress us as we speak. Another way to hold us down and just be used for their own entertainment! Handed opportunity after opportunity and for what? These unseasoned humans are just that, unseasoned! But soon I’ll be the one to usher in change. I mean look at all the headlining matches, if it wasn’t for Malcolm Jones then we would have no melanated elitist headlining this show at all just a bunch of Ice Apes running amuck, and that’s why I have so much respect for you Angelo.. you try to make everyone see what we see but they just don’t get it! They’ll never get it! 

(Dr. Angelo D’Angelo looks very intrigued by what she is saying but then he suddenly remembers Lisa’s involvement with Kensi as the look of intrigue and excitement becomes a look of worrisome)

Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Yes, yes indeed however Lisa, what about your association with one of the evil cacazoids of them all? Kensi? Don’t you remember her past? We can never forget Kenazi Cac-hound! All this phony phoniness is see through. K-CAC IS A SERPENT! Lisa, she is putting on a facade, she doesn’t like you. Lisa do you understand that she is using you for her own personal agenda because she wants you to believe that you have a friend in her but the minute you turn her back on her she will do what every Cracker Barrel broad has done to us once we turned our back on them and that’s stab us in it! Kitchen knife right to the spine. She is using you for her own advantage Lisa and you have to see that before it’s too late. 

Lisa Wren: Please Angelo, Stripperela is married to a brown man now and apparently she’s changed her ways of thinking and she is no longer that evil person any of us remember.

(Lisa does roll her eyes a bit at this, obviously knowing she still doesn’t fully trust Kensi. Angelo gives his precious chocolate queen a concerned look, just really wanting her to be careful.)

Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: I don’t know Lisa, I’d be cautious if I was you. I’d tread lightly with these snow leopards lurking. You know, the devil is always at work for those Yakubian Anglo Saxons and you need to be more careful around that blue eyed serpent. She thinks we’re just going to forget and forgive her for her past because she’s married to a brown man now?!!? She think this is? The forgiveness factory? :dame: I’m tryna show you the larger picture, Lisa. I’m just trying to get you to understand because I care Lisa, I care about you and we have to stick together because all it takes is a LITTLE   white brainwash to activate and let the man win and we can no longer be ostracized for the color of our skin. You gotta fight the urge of having that KEWN CHIP activated. It can ruin your life if you let L-CAC activate your KEWN CHIP! They have been trying to befriend us and use us as their excuse for not being racist by bringing up the fact they have a black friend or even a fiancé of color in her case to hide the ugly truth about them! REMEMBER JAKE SMITH HAD A BLACK WIFE?! Me and Shaun King have diligently been trying to find that sister for years! I’m pretty sure he had her killed after he used her to prove he not only was straight WHICH JAKE SMITH IS NOT…but also not racist! These devils think it’s a game! Are we really going to forgive Kensi for the months she thought it was funny to confuse a brother like Sosa with Bronson? She thought it was entertaining Lisa! Now one day she wakes up and all the sudden she’s Jane Elliot? No way! Did you forget? This is what I mean Lisa all it takes is just a LITTLE white brainwash and now the KEWN CHIP is turned on and she’ll have you right where she wants you. Do you understand that Lisa?

Lisa Wren: Trust me Angelo I know what I am doing here. I would never be so naive to think such things she is an ally out of convenience right now nothing more and nothing le-

(Suddenly Lisa is cut off by none other than Kensi herself as a look of shock and fear even comes across the face of Dr.Angelo)

Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: A Mayo Mutant :scusthov: Where is my Karen repellent?!? Let me guess though Kensi, you just got finished filibustering snd protesting repertaions for African Americans who are descendants of slavery? White supremacy shell fish! Where daddy Trump at?! He’s probably trying to get you to cause another incident like you people did at the Capitol building. What’s the next target huh? Gone ruin FREAK NIK?! Is this why you’ve been using Lisa to recruit her?!? All that African ass makes you sick don’t it? 

(Kensi rolls her eyes for once again being reminded of her past knowing she’s been doing everything to prove she’s a changed woman. She sighs.)

Kensi: I am not going to continue harping on my past, I am trying to work on my future. I am trying to become a better person and I don’t need to be reminded of my past 24/7. I was ignorant then but I have changed but I am not going to try and force everyone to believe it if they don’t want to. I mean if I still was that same person don’t you think I would’ve done something to Lisa already? Exactly but that’s not why I came over here in the first place. Lisa, Fight Grid wants us to do an interview for 24/7 so we should probably get going. 

Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Whoa, that sounded awfully demanding Kensi what year do you think this is? Juneteenth was last week and slavery is over! Do you still believe Lisa is just supposed to jump at the snap of your fingers? Are you not aware of what last Saturday was? How dare you! This is what I mean Lisa, these Yakubian devils don’t really love us! She is doing everything in her power to prove she’s “Changed” and now she’s even trying to get the media to force this narrative of change for her by having you two side by side being interviewed! She and those people behind the camera are trying to activate the chip Lisa! Think Lisa! DONT LET THEM ACTIVATE THAT COOOOOON CHIP! Only chips we eat are potato chips! And you Kensi…no I don’t think you would’ve done something to her already, why? Because it’s the biggest show of them all and you have waited for this exact moment to do that and show your true colors but it’s okay because you haven’t fooled me! Once a privileged primate, always a privileged primate! That’s why I hope Lisa is smart enough to realize what you are really trying to do here, you people always have some secret agenda. I guarantee even if Lisa does win you’ll find a way to try and take credit for it just like you people always do to us!

(Kensi who is just absolutely exhausted at this point and clearly getting irritated tries to ignore Dr. Angelo and get Lisa to come to the interview)

Kensi: Lisa, I’d do it myself but we’re a team and they’re asking for both of us. I am not demanding you to do anything, it’s just what they’re asking for.

Lisa Wren: I understand and thank you for your concern Dr. Angelo but I think I’ll be fine and I’ll go do this interview with Kensi for Fight Grid. Thank you for all of those kind words though and I’m sure we’ll see one another again soon. 

Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Okay I hope you’re right about this Lisa. Remember it just takes a littl-

(Before Angelo can finish his sentence the two walk away you can see that he is worried and fearful that Lisa will end up on the real darkside that is the Yakubian devils he continues to look on in doubt as the camera fades elsewhere) 

Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: THEY TRYNA ACTIVATE THAT CHIP!!!!

Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: ONLY CHIPS WE ROCKING WITH IS PRINGLES! PRAISE BLACK JESUS AND SMITE WHOEVER THINKS THAT BROTHER WASN’T BLACK!!!

(Dr. Angelo continues shouting to himself, and in the process the camera begins to fade away from the area)

(The camera cuts to the next match graphic)

(The camera fades to the ring and Gina Romano and the introductions to the next match…)

Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL! 

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!

(BxMxC by BABYMETAL starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd blows up in cheers. He comes out wearing the colors of the Golden Knights Hockey Team. He stands at the entranceway for a moment, raising his arms as the pyro goes off, he then points to the fans before heading to the ring.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST FROM LAS VEGAS, NV.! WEIGHING IN AT 202 POUNDS! HE IS “THE STRAIGHT SHOOTER’ JACK RIPLEY!!!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: Here is Jack Ripley, the man who has had a hell of a season! He became the Answers World Champion pinning Jamie O’Hara, and while he may have lost the title to Kassidy Heart, Jack Ripley has shown just how determined he is, one of the best in thew profession today.

Eve: He really is and Jack Ripley is now ready to conquer a man who is considered a God in that ring, for weeks we have seen this build and the history between these two, but Jack Ripley has more than proven he can carry the torch of any brand and will be at the top of it again.

Gavin Kirkland: Looking in the best shape of his life, and while this is a sausage fest it will be one hell of a match, I know it.

(Jack high fives fans, then slides into the ring, climbing the second turnbuckle and raising his arm high as the crowd cheers, he drops down as his music fades and is replaced with “Paint It Black” by Hidden Citizens. Slowly Theron Nikolas walks out in his all black and royal blue wrestling gear standing at the top of the rampway to a chorus of boos, some cheers.)

Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT HAILS FROM EDMONTON, ONTARIO! WEIGHING IN AT 224 POUNDS…. HE IS “THE GOD EMPEROR” THERON NIKOLAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Theron slowly makes his way down the ramp staring daggers at Ripley as a set of raining fireworks curtain shower the background while he walks to the ring.)

Deadprez: One of the most dangerous men in the sport and one of the best, Jack Ripley knows who he is going up against, but does he know what he is going up against? That will be the question as Theron has been looking for some appreciation from the Showdown roster and after his return at Grand Rampage, this man has been unstoppable.

Eve: That is the scariest part to all of this Prez, he is machine and before he left, Theron Nikolas was the guy you didn’t want to see as your opponent, he has already reestablished himself as that and is looking for some respect, will he get it from Jack Ripley tonight? Will he get the “Thanks” he is looking for? We will see.

Gavin Kirkland: Theron is a man’s man, he is looking to put Jack Ripley down for good, Jack better be ready. He needs like a gorgeous manager, I’m still a little distraught over Alissa last night.

Eve: Get over it.

(Theron makes it to the ring, standing right in the middle of it, looking around, before he slowly takes off the trench coat, turning to face Jack Ripely as both men are ready and checked by the referee. He then signals for the bell….)

(DING!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(As the bell rings both competitors stand face to face with each other, nose to nose in the middle of the ring, what they are saying cannot be heard but Theron steps back and spreads his arms as if inviting Jack Ripley to hit him. Jack steps back some before he throws a right cross hitting Theron, he answers back with one of his own, as they start to trade blow after blow before Nikolas kicks him in the gut, whipping him into the ropes…)

Deadprez: Nikolas with he advantage already he goes for a clothesline, Jack ducks, springs off the ropes, FLYING BODYPRESS but can’t hold him down for a one count, both men up and Jack with an arm drag, Nikolas back up to his feet into another arm drag! Jack is fast paced right now as Theron tries to grab him and he is met with a hip toss, to the ropes…. DROPKICK AND THERON FLIES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR!

Eve: Jack Ripley knew that he needed to start his quickly against a man like Theron Nikolas who is all so dangerous! Theron is already back on his feet and look at Jack Ripley!

(Ripley sits on the second rope inviting Theron Nikolas back into the ring as the crowd cheers.)

Eve: He better be careful though, we have seen what Theron is capable of doing, he isn’t one of the greats in the EAW for playing nice. The referee is starting the count, Theron is taking his time and not a bad strategy really, considering the pace of the match.

Gavin Kirkland: He’s a real man, and real men need their space, though this is maybe a little too manly for me. Jack Ripley looks in tremendous shape, I will give him that, he looks swole. They need to do something quick so I can call the action, I’m admiring Jack’s abs.

(As the referee starts the count, Theron wastes no time rolling back into the ring, Jack is already on top of him, kicking at Theron who rolls back to the outside, but this time Jack Ripley is in hot pursuit!)

Deadprez: Jack Ripley making chase and Theron is running away from him, Jack turns but Theron makes the stop using the momentum of Jack, BACK BODY DROP ON THE FLOOR! THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE! The referee isn’t even make the count! He is checking on Jack who landed hard, but now Theron is stomping on him! He picks up Jack and rolls him into the ring and Theron waits after a warning by the referee!

Eve: Like a predator to the prey and this is the opening moments of the match, Nikolas is not looking to have a classic here, he wants to embarrass and humiliate Jack Ripley! Jack is back up… and walks into the Spinning Uranage sideslam! Theron is not going for a cover, look at the disgust in his face! He wants to punish Jack! Theron is choking Jack with his boot! The referee quickly is there to count!

1!

2!

3!

4!

(Theron breaks the count right at five to prevent disqualification.)

Eve: Theron knows he has to keep Jack Ripley down and grounded, his quickness may be too much for Nikolas who has returned to the EAW with a vengeance. Jack is up to his knees, Theron grabs him by the head and neck, up to his feet, Jack with a forearm! And another! Theron is reeling, he wasn’t expecting this from Jack!

Gavin Kirkland: He is putting those abs to work! Irish Whip by Jack Ripley, Theron bounces back with a clothesline, NO! Neck breaker by Jack after ducking the clothesline! Theron is down, but he is not going for the cover! He climbs to the second turnbuckle, perched up as Theron gets up, DOPUBLE AXE HANDLE ON THE TOP OF THERON’S HEAD! Jack runs against the ropes, SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT FOR THE COVER! What grace from Jack Ripley!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: Theron Nikolas kicks out after barely a two count! Jack trying to sneak in the back door knowing that wasn’t going to do it. A few fists by Jack to keep him down, picking up Theron by the hair, he lays in a few more forearms, stifling Theron, whipping him into the turnbuckle, Jack charges in, Theron with a stiff kick right to the grill dawg! Jack stumbles back and Theron grabs him, throwing Jack RIGHT INTO THE STEEL POST! THE SMACK OF HIS FLESH HITTING THAT HARD ECHOED HERE IN LOS ANGELES!

(Jack falls back to the mats holding his shoulder, obviously hurt. Theron hops on the second rope, he flies off with a knee to Jack’s upper arm and shoulder.)

Eve: Theron Nikolas has found a spot and he is working on it, Jack Ripley went hard into the steel post with his right shoulder, he is obviously hurt, and Theron is taking full advantage of it right now! Theron lifts Jack up, front face lock right into a Stalling suplex! Theron sitting up with a smirk on his face, he is slowly taking Jack Ripley apart and since he returned at Grand Rampage, Theron has been at the top of his game on Showdown. He knows what a win over Jack would be, a man who won the World Championship at Road to Redemption. Theron grabs the arm, wrenched it back, locking into a reverse arm bar, driving the knee into the shoulder pressing back! Jack is screaming in pain!

Gavin Kirkland: The arm is not supposed to bend that way….

Deadprez: It is not, and Theron is looking to rip it right out of it it’s socket! Theron is pulling back, early in this match he wants to take away the use of the arm and that is a lot of the offense for Jack, Theron is merciless, he wants to make a statement, screaming at the referee….

Theron Nikolas: (Off Mic) ASK HIM! ASK HIM REFEREE!!!!

Referee: (Off Mic) HOW ABOUT IT JACK!? IS THIS IT!?

(Jack Ripley shakes his head, screaming…)

Jack Ripley: (Off Mic) NO!!!!!

(Jack Ripley slams his hands on the mat, screaming no! he tries to reach toward the ropes, but Theron continues to press back.)

Eve: Jack Ripley is already in big trouble, but look at the fight in Jack, he is reaching for the ropes, but Theron is relentless, but Jack is fighting, and he is inching closer, and closer….

(Jack reaches the ropes as the crowd cheers. The referee makes the count for the break!)

1!

2!

3!

4!

(Theron Nikolas breaks the hold!)

Deadprez: Theron is not allowing Jack to recover; he drags him from the ropes trying to hook the arm back up, but NO! SMALL PACKAGE BY RIPLEY!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THR….

Deadprez: KICK OUT BY THERON! He is quickly up and charges Jack, unloading with kicks and keeping him down but Jack trips him up! Jack gets on top of Theron hitting him with lefts, his right arm is too hurt right now, they are brawling on the mat! Theron flips him over, but Jack kicks him off! Theron goes charging in, DAYLIGHT SLAYING TIME ON NIKOLAS! JACK RIPLEY WITH THAT RUNNING KNEE TO THERON’S HEAD WHEN HE WAS CHARGING IN! RIPLEY HAS FINALLY STARTED TO TURN THE TIDE!

Gavin Kirkland: The motion of Theron running full force into that knee got him. I can’t really talk much about these two dudes outside of wrestling and it sucks, we need some more ladies matches!

Eve: Of course, we do. Jack Ripley is trying to get some feeling back in his arm, grabbing Theron as he slowly gets up into a TORNADO DDT! HE LANDED ALL OF THAT BUT IS STILL NOT GOING FOR A COVER! Jack Ripley instead is climbing the ropes; he may have Theron right where he wants him! Jack is up….. KNEES TO THE FACE! NO! THERON GETS OUT OF THE WAY AND JACK LANDS HARD ON HIS KNEES! HE IS UP AND THERON SLOWLY IS BACK UP…. BATTLE FURY! THERON NIKOLAS IS ASSAULTING JACK RIPLEY AND HE FINISHES IT WITH A BURNING LARIAT!

Gavin Kirkland: That made me hurt! He goes for the cover!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREE……………….

Gavin Kirkland: It’s the abs, Jack Ripley kicks out!

Deadprez: Theron doesn’t look surprised, he is not wasting any time with Ripley, getting him up, ramming his face into the turnbuckle before picking him up on his back in a fireman’s carry, he is climbing the ropes, what is Theron doing!? HE GORILLA SLAMS RIPLEY ON THE STEEL POST! JACK WAS FOLDED IN HALF DAWG!

(Jack crumbles to the floor from the top turnbuckle and takes a nasty fall on his bad shoulder. The crowd ohh’s as Nikolas falls to the canvas trying to catch his breath. The referee looks down and starts to make the count.)

Referee: 1……2……3…….4…….

(Jack starts to try and push himself up.)

Referee: 5……6……7…..

(Getting to the apron, reaching up Jack tries to pull himself up.)

Referee: 8……..9…….

(Jack rolls in right before the referee counts 10!)

Eve: Jack Ripley made it back in the ring and Theron is livid! He grabs Jack whipping him against the turnbuckle, NO! Jack reverses, Theron runs hard chest first into the turnbuckles stumbling right into a GERMAN SUPLEX!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THRE….

Eve: Kick out by Theron! Jack is hurt, in a lot of pain but still staying in this! He grabs Theron, SNAP SUPLEX BY JACK! Give him credit, he has adjusted, using his left arm to perform the move, Theron really did a number on him and is slowing down, he gets right back up as Theron is slow to his feet, Jack Ripley is grabbing him from behind again, an elbow to the head, and another, Theron fighting for his existence right now! Jack let’s go, he turns right into TOUCH OF HEROINE! JACK RIPLEY WAS ALMOST DECAPITATED! THERON DROPS ON JACK FOR THE COVER!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREE………………

Deadprez: Jack gets a shoulder up and Theron is not happy! With that whiplash and how hard he hit him, I thought that was it! Theron though is gabbing Jack by the arm, dragging him into the corner!

(Theron slides out of the ring, wraps Jacks arm and shoulder around the ring post…..)

Deadprez: CODE RED ARM BAR! AROUND THE RING POST! THERON IS NOW TEARING AT THE VERY LIGAMENTS AND FIBERS TO THE ARM OF JACK RIPLEY! THE REFEREE IS OUTSIDE TRYING TO BREAK THIS UP!

Referee: (Off Mic) STOP THIS NOW OR I WILL DISQUALIFY YOU!

Theron Nikolas: (Off Mic) I AM THE REASON JACK RIPLEY IS EVEN A NAME! I’M NOT LETTING GO UNTIL HE THANKS ME!

Referee: (Off Mic) THAT’S IT! I’M COUNTING!

1!

2!

3!

4!

(Theron breaks the hold and walks right up to the referee as they stand face to face.)

Eve: Theron is out of control! He is trying his best to end Jack Ripley, this isn’t even about gaining respect anymore, this is about destroying this man’s career! The referee and Theron are face to face, no one is budging but Jack looks like he is trying to recover, Theron slides back into the ring, grabbing Jack, picking him up, Jack lands behind Theron, DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER AND THE RESILIENCY OF JACK RIPLEY IS SHOWING AND WHY HE WAS A FORMER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! JACK WITH THE QUICK COVER!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THRE…

Gavin Kirkland: Theron kicks out! He doesn’t look happy as Jack is getting back up, he is a fighter but even with those muscles, how much can this dude take!? Theron has systematically torn him down and Jack can barely get any offense in! Jack is back up, Theron holding his back in pain, Jack with an Enzuigiri, NO! HE MISSES! LANDING HARD FACE AND CHEST FIRST! THERON GRABS HIS ARMS… CURB STOMP! I think that’s it.

Deadprez: Theron is not going for a cover, instead he wants to punish him more and more! Jack can barely stand and while he has fought, bruh, there is a time to say that is enough! Theron has Jack up, over his shoulder, he runs into the turnbuckle for a Snake Eyes, Jack slips from the back, pushing Theron right into the turnbuckle, he turns and ENZINGUIRI THIS TIME CONNECTS AS THERON LOOKS WOBBLY! JACK IS UNLOADING WITH MULTIPLE KICKS! THERON CAN’T COVER HIMSELF AS JACK IS WILDIN’ ON HIM! Theron stumbles forward and JACK WITH A BELLY TO BELLY ON THERON! Neither of these men are even looking for a pinfall, instead they want to beat the hell out of one another! Jack grabs Theron by the hair, stepping back…. He goes for YOU’LL FLO….. NO! THERON WITH A MAFIA KICK THAT ALMOST TOOK HIS HEAD OFF!

Eve: These two men are testing their limits against each other and what is Theron doing!? He is taking a turnbuckle pad off while the referee checks on Jack, Theron has evil intentions in his mind, hoisting up Jack, whipping him into the ropes, NO! Jack reverses, right into Theron landing on his shoulders, LAWN DART THROW! IT CONNECTS AND THERON LANDS FACE FIRST ON THE EXPOSED STEEL! HE HAS BEEN CUT OPEN AND NOW JACK IS BACK UP SLOWLY TO THE TOP ROPE…. MOONSAULT! IT CONNECTS AND JACK RIPLEY HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREE…..

Deadprez: SHOULDER UP BY NIKOLAS AND LOOKS AT JACK! HE IS IN COMPELTE AND UTTER SHOCK! Holding up three fingers to the referee but he only holds up two.

(Jack is trying to collect himself on the mat, Theron is bleeding and somewhat moving, when Jack looks out to the crowd as they start to chant his name…)

Crowd: JACK! JACK! JACK! JACK! JACK!

(He nods and gets back up to his feet, sighing a little before picking up Nikolas by the hair, setting him up…)

Deadprez: THE RIPPLE EFFECT! JACK WANTS TO END THIS NOW AFTER ABOUT 12 MINUTES OF ACTION! TRYING TO LIFT THERON OVER… NO! DIVINE SURRENDER! JACK FALLS FACE FIRST TO THE MAT! THERON IS SCREAMING! HE KNOWS THAT HE CAN HAVE JACK RIGHT HERE! THERON GOING TO THE TOP ROPE, JACK IS STILL LAID OUT….

Gavin Kirkland: JACK WITH A SHOULDER UP! HE HAD A SHOULDER UP! NOW NIKOLAS CAN’T BELIEVE IT! LOOK AT NIKOLAS! HE GRABS THE REFEREE BY THE SHIRT GETTING THREATENED TO BE DISQUALIFIED! KICK HIS ASS BRO!

Eve: Really Gavin?

Gavin Kirkland: I need women in this match, Eve.

Eve: Just call the action! Theron is beside himself! He slowly is back up to his feet, look at him, he is waiting as Jack is barely able to get back up, Nikolas is rushing him, Jack turns and Theron gets another knee to the skull! Theron is spaghetti legged, Jack runs up to him, STANDING SPANISH FLY! JACK RIPLEY USED EVERYTHING HE HAD AND WAIT!

(Jack gets up and screams as the fans cheer.)

Deadprez: Jack is getting a second win! That adrenaline rush is flowing, and he is feeling it all right now! Jack is determined to show this man that while he was gone Jack Ripley was one of the top guys here, dawg! Busting his ass and winning that gold! Nikolas is back up and rams him into the turnbuckle! HE starts shoving and ramming his shoulder repeatedly into the midsection of Nikolas the crowd is cheering with him!

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: THE MAN IS LITERALLY GOING TO SHIT HIS PANTS IF HE KEEPS THRUSTING THOSE SHOULDERS INTO HIM! LA FOOD IS NOT THE KINDEST!!!!

(Jack continues to ram his shoulder into Nikolas as the referee finally starts to break it up but Jack stops, pacing the ring before charging in like a bullet for one more shoulder thrust! The crowd roars as Jack is in control.)

Eve: This is Jack’s match to lose now! He finally found that opening and is looking to do whatever he can to put this legend and GOAT down on the grandest stage of them all! Theron Nikolas is right for the picking and Jack lifts up Theron! He is climbing the top rope with Theron!

Deadprez: WHAT IN THE HELL ARE THEY DOING!?

Gavin Kirkland: THAT IS THE HIGH RENT DISTRICT! JACK LOOKS LIKE HE IS TRYING TO PILEDRIVE THERON OFF THE TOP ROPE! IF HE GETS THIS! THERON IS DEAD!

Deadprez: JACK RIPLEY IS DOING JUST THAT! HE IS TRYING TO LIFT THERON FOR THE TOP ROPE PILEDRIVER! WE HAVE NEVER SEEN JACK TRY SOMETHING LIKE THIS! THIS IS HOW MUCH THIS MATCH MEANS TO HIM! JACK IS GOING TO LIFT UP THERON! HE HAS HIM UP!!!!!

Crowd: :lupe:

Eve: :lupe:

Gavin Kirkland: :lupe:

(Backstage everyone on the monitor watching Including Steroid Dawg, Jennipurr and Calibos :lupe:)

Deadprez: JACK IS GOING FOR THE PILEDRIVER….. NO! THERON NIKOLAS RAISED HIS HEAD HARD HITTING JACK BETWEEN THE LEGS AND THE REFEREE DIDN’T CATCH THAT! NOW THERON HOISTS JACK UPSIDOWN…….

Theron Nikolas: (Off Mic) THAT WAS A THREE COUNT!

Referee: (Off Mic) HIS FOOT WAS UNDER THE ROPE! I’M NOT BLIND THIS TIME! HIS FOOT WAS UNDER THE ROPE AND THIS MATCH CONTINUES!

(Theron screams in anger, turning to Jack who is still down.)

Deadprez: WE THOUGHT THE MATCH WAS OVER! IT WAS NOT! JACK RIPLEY WAS ABLE TO GET HIS FOOT UNDER THE ROPES, MAYBE THAT IS THE WAY HE LANDED! WE DON’T KNOW BUT THE REFEREE SAW IT AND CONTINUED THE MATCH! THERON GOES AFTER RIPLEY, HE PICKS HIM UP, WHIPPING HIM INTO THE ROPES…. THE BURNING HAMMER! HE IS GOING TO FINISH THIS…..

Eve: Kick out by Theron! Nikolas is back up and he grabs a hurt Jack Ripley, GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB! THERON IS RUTHLESS!

(Theron wipes the blood from his face and wipes it on Jack’s chest, pacing the ring before climbing back up to the top rope. Perched up there as the camera flashes pepper the arena.)

Gavin Kirkland: THERON NIKOLAS IS READY TO FLY AGAIN AND SIX STAR FROG SPLASH A SECOND TIME AND …. IT DOESN’T CONNECT! JACK RIPLEY IS ABLE TO GET THE KNEES UP! THERON LANDED HARD ON HIS ABDOMEN AND THE WIND WAS KNOCKED OUT OF HIM!

Gavin Kirkland: HOW DID JACK RIPLEY GET A SHOULDER UP! JACK IS STILL IN THIS MATCH AND LOOK AT THERON NIKOLAS! HE IS ENRAGED!

(Theron with his eyes widened almost in a psychotic trance wondering what the hell is going on. Can he pin Jack Ripley, or does he have to kill him? Theron gets back up huffing and puffing, grabbing Jack Ripley.)

Deadprez: GIVE JACK ALL THE CREDIT! THE HEART OF THIS MAN AS HE SHOWED AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION, KING OF ELITE AND UNDER SIEGE! THIS IS PAIN FOR PRIDE AND THESE ARE THE PERFORMANCES WE REMEMBER!

Crowd: JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eve: THERON NIKOLAS KICKED OUT OF JACK RIPLEY’S SECOND FINISHER!? THERON NIKOLAS STILL SHOWING HOW TOUGH HE IS AND RIPLEY IS GOING TO THE TOP ROPE! HE IS CLIMBING THE TOP ROPE!!!!

Deadprez: THIS IS WHAT PAIN FOR PRIDE IS ALL ABOUT AND JACK IS UP TO THE TOP ROPE! LOOK AT ALL THE CAMERA FLASHES! BELIEVE IT OR NOT! HE JUST LANDED ON THERON NIKOLAS WITH BELIEVE IT OR NOT! HE GOES FOR THE…..no….. what is he doing!?

(Jack Ripley stands up and sees that Theron is still moving, he doesn’t go for the pin, instead he stands there as Nikolas grabs his foot, then slowly uses it to pick himself up as Jack’s fists begin to clench, barely able to stand himself. Theron grabs Jack and gets to his feet, spaghetti legged as Jack stares at him.)

Gavin Kirkland: What the hell is going on here….. they are going to kiss!!!!

Eve: Shut up Gavin! I think that after all the disdain and hatred these two men have shown themselves that this is their sign of respect or their last stand! Look at Theron bleeding….. what is he saying….

(Theron barely stands screams……)

Theron Nikolas: (Off Mic): THANK ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Jack Ripley: (Off Mic) …… NO.

(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Gina Romano: THE WINNER OF THE MATCH….. JACK RIPLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

(BxMxC by BABYMETAL starts to play throughout the arena as the fans give a standing ovation to these two competitors. Jack Ripley lies on top of Nikolas not even moving as the referee signals for medical attention for both men as they quickly rush the ring.)

Deadprez: WHAT A WAR! These two men put everything on the line for respect and Theron Nikolas proved while he may have lost that he is Mr. Pain for Pride with the performance he had tonight not even skipping a beat.

Gavin Kirkland: I thought they were going to kiss, but I have to agree, it may not have been some beautiful, silky skinned tanned women especially blondes but this was one hell of a match.

Eve: It was, this is why Pain for Pride is the MECCA of professional wrestling. Theron thought he had Jack, we all did with that nasty tombstone off the top rope, but the referee saw the foot under the ropes, the match kept going and it took everything in the arsenal of Jack Ripley to defeat Theron Nikolas.

(Jack finally stirs and sits up while the EMT’s check on both wrestlers. There are tears of pain and pride in the eyes of Jack as the referee raises his arm in victory and the crowd roars in appreciation to both men and the hell they went through. He is finally helped up to his feet by the referee as Theron stirs, trying to refuse help.)

Deadprez: Another amazing match by Showdown and we are having a hell of an FPV, aren’t we!?

Eve: We sure are! Both of these men will leave different here tonight, again an incredible match between two of the best.

Gavin Kirkland: That blonde paramedic is cute.

Eve: Shut up Gavin.

(Jack is being helped up as he points to the fans who cheer on, while Nikolas is still being check on, fighting with the paramedics.)

(Fades to a Commercial for the NEW BED FOOT RISER CUSHION for all the women that date Jake Smith and don’t have to worry about making out with the Pillow due to his shortness. If you order now, they will send you a second one for the back seat of the car!)

(Pain For Pride fades to a distraught Ronan Malosi walking down the halls backstage with Alissa Brady following up behind him, who hangs onto his arm but Showdown’s “biggest star” :troll: is not too happy about her presence.) 

(Ronan’s trying his best to hide the injuries from last night as he’s got one of his fancy suits on but his lack of hair isn’t helping him out in this matter as he’s full of scars on his head, along with a few bandages. Meanwhile, Alissa Brady doesn’t seem to care too much about hiding hers, as she’s wearing a more fancy outfit that shows a lot of skin. the amount of skin showing on Alissa there’s also the scars on her from the Chained Fury II war from last night, with a big bandage on her stomach standing out, which we can only guess is from the dive she took off the cage on her boyfriend.)

Alissa Brady: So, babe, look, I know things didn’t go well against Ryan Wilson, but I want to make things up to you. So I’m offering to just… go to a fancy restaurant, I’ll pay for everything you don’t have to worry.

Ronan Malosi: N- no. I do not want to eat at any sort of fancy restaurants… Be- bec- beca-

Alissa Brady: Because?

Ronan Malosi: Y- yes. Th- than- thank you. That’s what I was try- trying to s- say. Be- because we both know I coo- cook the be- best st- steak in the whole wo- world, and everyw- everywhere else is fuck- fucking filthy. They don’t compare to what I co- cook.

Alissa Brady: Well, you indeed have the best steak in the world. Just like you have the best di–

Ronan Malosi: I kn- know. Bu- but that’s not what matt- matters now!! I got embarrassed at Pain For Prid- Pride again!! I thought it wouldn’t get wor- worse than being pissed on but-

???: Do you guys mind?

Ronan Malosi: Y- yes we fuck- fucking do!!

???: Oh…

Alissa Brady: Nah, nah, it’s fine!! Wassup??

(Kyra Phillips walks into the camera frame with a bright smile on his face, but she’s the only one smiling. :roman:)

Kyra Phillips: Well… I just wanted to get a few words out of you two following the brutality that was Chained Fury II.

Ronan Malosi: :noah: !!!

Kyra Phillips: Don’t worry, it won’t take too long. You were *very* talkative during the week, a few more minutes of your time couldn’t hurt. 

Ronan Malosi: :will: What did I do wrong in my career to get bullied by a fucking interviewer?

Kyra Phillips:

(Alissa lets out a little laugh but Ronan clearly does not like this as he pretends to warm up his arms even though he doesn’t have to wrestle and happens to “accidentally” hit his girlfriend.)

Ronan Malosi: /

Kyra Phillips: So..!!! How have you been recovering in the past 24 hours? 

Ronan Malosi: Bitch are you fucking blind CAN YOU NOT SEE THE SCARS I HAVE???

Kyra Phillips: Oh… true. :mjgrin: They seem to stop your head from shining like it usually does. :wow: 

Ronan Malosi: Excuse me?? 

Kyra Phillips: Nothing.

Ronan Malosi: Look, I have a shit ton of scars all on my head but I also have a ton on my perfectly built body with a 12-pack–

Kyra Phillips: :dahell: Is that even possible???

Ronan Malosi: Everything is possible if your name is R-M which stands for Ronan Malosi! I would show off my abs right now but I do not want to because I bought this suit recently and I wanted to try it out!! It cost me half a million dollars, by the way. :wow:

Alissa Brady: Ohhhh, so that’s why your steak hasn’t been the best recently!! Instead of getting proper meat and seasoning, you got it cheap and garbage so you could afford that suit. Your priorities. :wow:

Ronan Malosi: Welp, I thought you wouldn’t notice.

Kyra Phillips: Okay, well moving on, how do you feel about your former partner winning his first championship after being in EAW for 4 years?

Ronan Malosi: Imagine taking FOUR YEARS to win a title for newbies. :mjlol:

Kyra Phillips: You’ve been in EAW for 2 years and still competed for it though…

Ronan Malosi: THIS AIN’T ABOUT ME DAMN IT!!

Alissa Brady: Wait… how come you can talk properly now??? Were you faking the severity of your injuries so I would keep on pleasing you?!?!?!?

Ronan Malosi: THAT IS NOT WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, WOMAN!! We were talking about Ryan Wilson and what you can expect out of Ryan Wilson is for him to lose it on his first defense, and then he will go back to exactly how he was before because Ryan Wilson has never been championship material!!!!

Kyra Phillips: Bold words coming from the guy who lost exactly four championship matches in the span of two months :lupe:. Speaking of those though, how do you feel about all of those championship matches – did you learn anything from them? Will you come back better next time??

Ronan Malosi: I thought you weren’t supposed to be biased. Is today International Bully Ronan Malosi Day??? Exactly, it’s not!! And if you knew any better, you knew that I was screwed out of all of those championship matches!! First that dirty pig Bronson Daniels cheated by NOT ONLY USING HIS KANGAROO ON ME, but also by not breaking up the submission when I touched the rope. Second, that **bodaggit** Ryan Wilson cost me the match against IDOL-GUN on Voltage. It was all him, NOT ME!!!

Ronan Malosi: Then the same **cockalorum** would BETRAY ME AT BATTLE OF EGYPT AND GET ME ELIMINATED FROM THE NEW BREED GAUNTLET EARLY, IN EMBARRASSING FASHION AFTER THE HUGE AMOUNT OF PROMOS I DID!! And now at Pain For Pride, my **pillock** girlfriend would cost me the New Breed Title by diving off that cage… RIGHT ON ME!!!!!!!! I had that **mumpsimus** Ryan Wilson beat but then Alissa had to jump on me, WHEN SHE KNOWS DAMN WELL THE ONLY TIME SHE CAN JUMP ON ME IS WHEN I’M IN BED WITH MY DICK OUT!!

Alissa Brady: :picard: 

Kyra Phillips: So you learned nothing from those losses and don’t think anything was your fault… :roman: Well alright. But since we’re on the topic of Alissa costing you the match and since you’re obviously so sure of that being the losing factor last night… I must ask, did you think about it a bit more? Like, I don’t know, your activity promo-wise could’ve translated to your performance in the match, or maybe if you drank water like a normal human you wouldn’t have had a temper tantrum over getting sprayed with it?? Or maybe if you did all of this fair and square Alissa wouldn’t have happened to “cost” you the match–

Ronan Malosi: ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR!! Who are you to judge my ways, you don’t even wrestle!! Shut the hell up!

Kyra Phillips: It seems to me like as a non-wrestler I know more about wrestling than you do.

Ronan Malosi: YOU’RE AN INTERVIEWER!!! STOP INSULTING ME!! None of this is funny!!

Kyra Phillips: Anyways, it seems like Chained Fury has been one of the biggest things on Showdown this past season. How do you feel about this? After all, you usually tend to hype yourself up and call yourself one of the best on the roster, but it looks like you weren’t the one to win that feud. Is this loss going to stop us from seeing Ronan Malosi at his best? 

Ronan Malosi: Pffttt!! Absolutely NOT!! I’m glad Showdown has realized how big of a star I am, though. :wow: I mean, look at the Interwire Championship now getting zero attention, and it’s been that way this whole season except for when I held it, and you want to know why the Interwire Championship got all the time and attention when I held it??? BECAUSE I’M A STAR!! I MADE THAT TITLE FEEL IMPORTANT!!! I AM BETTER THAN KASSIDY, THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION, AND IF IT WASN’T FOR BRONSON CONFRONTING ME BACKSTAGE BEFORE THE MATCH, I WOULD’VE BEAT THAT WHORE!!!! But Bronson is part of the conspiracy!! Conspiracy that has held me back in all of these opportunities, conspiracy that has barely allowed me to win championships. Conspiracy which took a day off at Under Siege BUT THEN CAME RIGHT BACK!!! CONSUELA WON ON THAT ONE SHOWDOWN BECAUSE OF THE CONSPIRACY!!! THE REALM WON AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION BECAUSE OF THE CONSPIRACY!!! IDOL-GUN WON AT KING OF ELITE BECAUSE OF THE CONSPIRACY!!! BRONSON DANIELS WON AT GRAND RAMPAGE BECAUSE OF THE CONSPIRACY!!! IDOL-GUN WON ON THAT ONE VOLTAGE BECAUSE OF THE CONSPIRACY!!! ANDRE WALKER WON AT BATTLE OF EGYPT BECAUSE OF THE CONSPIRACY!!! 

Ronan Malosi: AND RYAN WILSON WON LAST NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE CONSPIRACY AND MY STUPID GIRLFRIEND!!!

Alissa Brady: :skip: !!!!

Ronan Malosi: Now’s not the time to speak-

Alissa Brady: I’ve literally been trying my best the past 24 hours, I’ve been trying to help you keep your head up… I cannot believe you’re still MAD over something so STUPID!!!

Ronan Malosi: Something STUPID??? YOU COST ME THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP AGAINST RYAN FUCKING WILSON!!!

Alissa Brady: And I’ve spent all last night making it up to you!!!

Ronan Malosi: :wtf: !!! Bitch, ordering me a ROAST BEEF SANDWICH from ROOM SERVICE isn’t a fix!! NAH, WHAT YOU SHOULD’VE DONE WAS BUY ME EXPENSIVE CLOTHES, EXPENSIVE WATCHES, EXPENSIVE CARS, COOK THE AMAZING APPLEBEE’S STEAK THAT I’VE BEEN TEACHING YOU HOW TO COOK BUT YOU NEVER LEARN IT SEEM, NAH, NAH, YOU SHOULD’VE BEEN ON YOUR HANDS AND KNEES SUCKING **THIS DICK** AND BEGGING ME TO FORGIVE YOU!!

(As a woman herself, Kyra Phillips is pretty horrified at this display of misogyny from the Hot Take King. You’d think his Hot Takes don’t go farther than wrestling but it seems like he’s expanded the takes into the relationship horizon. But while horrified, Kyra also has nothing to say.) 

Alissa Brady: Look, Ronan…  Just–

Ronan Malosi: SHUT UP ALISSA!!! Look, Season 15 is going to be much different! While I was the face of Showdown this season, I still achieved much less than I should’ve, and that’s going to change next season, believe me. I’m not going to be a laughing stock anymore, I will be a superstar, I will be the winner that I should’ve always been. I will keep on fighting the conspiracy, I will keep on being the person a brand is built around, and I will win endless matches and championships because I’m the greatest wrestler in ALL OF EAW, and someone BETTER draft me this year!

Ronan Malosi: StarrStan, Hurricane Hawk, Captain Charisma, if none of you makes the decision to draft me, then I’ll beat you like I beat Alexis Chambers a few months ago, and she nearly died!!! I’ll keep punching down on y’all, and you’re gonna be wishing that I stop but I won’t!! Then, when all you three are unable to work I will take over EAW and DRAFT MYSELF TO EVERY BRAND, THEN CELEBRATE BY SHOWERING MYSELF IN VICTORY MILK!! Come on Alissa, we’re going to the car, where you can keep trying to make things up to me! 

(Ronan grabs Alissa by the arm then starts leaving, all proud of himself with the camera following him.)

Ronan Malosi: WHAT THE FU–

(Ronan steps in something slippery and almost falls, but he manages to catch himself on a production box. Alissa helps Ronan up, and Ronan raises his boot…)

Ronan Malosi: DOG SHIT????? WHAT??? THESE ARE LITERALLY GUCCI!!! I BOUGHT THEM YESTERDAY!!! WHO THE HELL SHIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HALLWAY???

???: Woof! Woof! Woof!! 

Ronan Malosi: Steroid Dawg?!?!??!?!?!

Steroid Dawg: Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

(Translation: :mjlol: I got you for the second year in a row!!)

Ronan Malosi: NOT AGAIN!!! What the hell will I do now?!?!? I can’t go out with these amazing shoes, THEY’RE FULL OF SHIT!!

(Steroid Dawg keeps barking at Ronan and starts running circles around him, before running off. The last shot is of Alissa Brady staying by Ronan Malosi’s side. Ronan is absolutely fuming, thinking that Pain For Pride couldn’t get worse for him.)

(The camera fades to the next match graphic.)

(The camera fades back to ringside, and Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone in her hand.)

Bella Braxton: OUR NEXT CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!

(“Faneto” by Chief Keef begins to play as the lights flash in classic Philadelphia Eagles colors, and the crowd gives a mixed reaction. Our steps SOSA in an obscenely expensive leather bomber jacket with “S-A” embossed on the back. Patches all over with various references to his city and his career.)

Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST…HAILING FROM PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA…WEIGHING IN AT 191 POUNDS…HE IS THE KING OF PHILLY…BULLETPROOF SOOOOOSSAAAAAAA HENNNNNNDERSON!!!

Rich Russillo: This man is not exactly where he envisioned he’d be but nonetheless he has found his way back to Pain for Pride with a clear purpose in mind. SOSA Henderson and Chris Elite are at odds and it stems from the fact that they could not co exist and properly defeat Idol-Gun for the Unified Tag titles. SOSA and Chris both are clearly sick of the other one and it’s coming to a head tonight!

Jake Mercer: Chris Elite or Mr Elite as they call him in the bodegas, has a grudge with SOSA. Henderson or Senior Hendo as they called him on the movie sets, has a bone to pick with Elite. Jake Mercer aka Monsieur Merci as I’ve begun calling myself is excited to watch this match up!

(SOSA rushes the ring and slides under the bottom rope, and he poses briefly as he manages to remove his jacket and find a turnbuckle to begin stretching in.)

Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT!!!

(“44 Bulldog” by Pop Smoke ignites the crowd as the fans’ mixed reactions continue, and out walks Chris Elite himself. Chris has his own custom varsity jacket with “KING OF NEW YORK” on the chest and his name on the back. Fireworks explode as Chris raises one hand in the air before proceeding to talk loud and brashly to all within ear shot.)

Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT…HAILING FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK…HE WEIGHS IN AT 210 POUNDS…GAWD GIVEN GREATNESS…CHHHHHRISSSSS EEEEEEEEEWEELITEEEE!!

Stew-O: One of the most popular and cocky men to ever perform in EAW. So is SOSA Henderson. You’d think they would have had great chemistry yet they didn’t and now we are here.

James Peters: You can’t fake the funk, Stew. Now we have arrived at the collision course at Pain for Pride XIV! 

Jake Mercer: I would have bet the house both Kings of Philly and NYC could have buried the hatchet. Instead, they now have to bury one another!

(SOSA smiles as Chris Elite stares at him right in the eyes. Elite takes his time entering the ring as he removes his jacket and finds himself in a corner.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stew-O: Two of the most decorated, respected, and gifted athletes in EAW history find themselves on opposite ends of tonight’s match up as SOSA and Chris go at it tonight! 

Rich Russillo: These two Uber famous fighters attempted to form an alliance and take the Unified Tag Team Championships from Idol-Gun previously and failed in said attempt leading to the match we have here right now. Sosa is a man who has been trying to cement his legacy and Chris is a man fighting hurdle after hurdle to prove to the world that he still is a main event caliber Elitist. Chris has been away from the title picture and feels defeating SOSA tonight can place him back in that spotlight once more.

Stew-O: Both elitists can hang their hat on being gifted athletes but only one will be able to raise their hand in victory tonight as the referee stands between them and the rivals begin circling the ring.

Jake Mercer: This fight reminds me of my time in Puerto Rico when a promoter who suspiciously looked like a young TLA had two amateurs wrestle a 30 minute ladder match where a flamethrower and thumbtacks were involved.

Rich Russillo: What would anything in this match remind you of such a chaotic and hardcore bout like that?

Jake Mercer: Both combatants were wearing fake Amiri jeans!

James Peters: Wha-

Rich Russillo: Stew, get your guy.

Stew-O: Just ignore him like I do. 

Rich Russillo: Anyway, Chris Elite goes to make the first move as he charges and grabs SOSA in a headlock. SOSA pushed him off easily. Chris Elite turns and throws a haymaker but SOSA ducks it quickly. SOSA goes for an open hand slap but Chris Elite ducks his attack. Chris Elite leaps for a Dropkick but SOSA blocks it with his forearms. Henderson watches as Elite lands flat on his back and leaps to drop a knee on him but Chris rolls out the way quickly. Both men are on their backs as-

Jake Mercer: DOUBLE KIP UP!

James Peters: Elite and SOSA stand as they turn to one another. 

Chris Elite: (off-mic) You think you good? :tyson:

SOSA Henderson: (off-mic) Ask your mother.

Chris Elite:

Stew-O: Chris Elite rushes SOSA for a tackle but NO! SOSA leaps and MONKEY FLIPS CHRIS ELITE IN THE AIR AS-

Rich Russillo: WOAH! ELITE FLIPS IN MID AIR AND LANDS ON HIS FEET AS SOSA QUICKLY SCRAMBLES TO HIS OWN TWO! SOSA Henderson turns around and SUPERKICK BY CHRIS ELITE!

Stew-O: BLOCK! SOSA snatches Chris Elite’s foot out the air, spins him around in a 360 and SLAP RIGHT ACROSS THE CHEEK BY HENDERSON! Chris Elite turns back around and RESPONDS WITH A DISRESPECTFUL BACKHANDED SLAP OF HIS OWN! Both men lock up again but this time SOSA manages to secure a headlock on Chris Elite. Elite struggles to try and break free but SOSA locks it in even tighter as-

Jake Mercer: CHRIS ELITE LIFTS SOSA OFF HIS FEET AS HENDERSON KICKS AND KICKS OVER AND OVER IN THE AIR UNTIL HE CAN PUT HIS FEET BACK ONTO THE GROUND! Chris Elite LIFTS SOSA ONCE AGAIN AS HENDERSON CONTINUES KICKING AND USING HIS MOMENTUM TO GET HIMSELF BACK ON THE GROUND. SOSA tightens his head lock grip as CHRIS ELITE SHOVES HIM WITH ALL HIS MIGHT AND BREAKS FREE FINALLY! Chris Elite grabs SOSA by the wrist and Irish whips him into the ring corner.

Rich Russillo: LIKE A CAT SOSA USES HIS AGILITY TO RUN UP THE TURNBUCKLE, NOW ON TOP OF IT, AND LEAPS BACKWARDS AS HE LANDS BEHIND CHRIS ELITE! Elite turns and ROUNDHOUSE KICK BY SOSA HENDERSON CONNECTS AS CHRIS STAGGERS BACKWARDS! SOSA RUSHES TOWARDS CHRIS ELITE AND FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A BEAUTIFUL BICYCLE KNEE TO THE CHIN! SOSA IS FEELING IT AS HE SLIPS UNDER AND AROUND CHRIS ELITE! POSITIONED BEHIND HIS RIVAL, SOSA QUICKLY LIFTS CHRIS UP AND OFF OF HIS FEET AND PLANTS HIM ON HIS BACK WITH A PERFECTLY EXECUTED BACK SUPLEX!  

James Peters: SOSA Henderson is one of the quickest athletes in all professional sports but what makes that quickness even more scary is its coupled with his technical abilities making him almost a create-a-elitist caliber wrestler. We’ve seen SOSA break down opponents with his speed and technical moveset and looks like hes just getting started as he lifts Chris Elite off the ground and has him in position. SOSA hoists Chris Elite in the air…suplex position…DELAYED VERTICAL SUPLEX DROPS CHRIS ELITE LIKE A SACK OF POTATOES AS SOSA QUICKLY POPS TO HIS FEET AND SALUTES THE CROWD! THE FANS HECKLE AND BOO AS HE SMIRKS AND LEANS OVER TO CONTINUE PUNISHING CHRIS ELITE!

Rich Russillo: SOSA raises Chris Elite off the mat as-

Stew-O: SMALL PACKAGE! CHRIS ELITE HAS THE SMALL PACKAGE RIGHT ON SOSA HENDERSON!!!!

Jake Mercer: Ayo.

Referee: ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-NOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: Quick kick out by SOSA but even quicker counter by Chris Elite with that small package of his.

Jake Mercer: AYO! :dame:

James Peters: Elite rolls away as does SOSA Henderson. Both men gather themselves and rise off the mat. Crowd is mixing the cheers with the boos as Chris Elite and SOSA rush one another. SOSA goes for a clothesline but it’s ducked by Chris Elite. Chris keeps sprinting as he runs to and bounces off the ring ropes. Chris charges back at SOSA who plants his feet and LEANS BACK MATRIX STYLE TO AVOID A POUNCE ATTEMPT BY CHRIS ELITE! Chris barely manages to barrel roll forward without crashing and burning and gets back to his feet as SOSA rushes the ropes now and bounces off them. SOSA leaps and grabs Chris…JUMPING DDT PLANTS CHRIS ELITE ON HIS HEAD!

Jake Mercer: That poor, poor, bald ass head. :wow:

Rich Russillo: SOSA dropped him as hard as he could with that one as he rolls over the flatbed Elite!

Stew-O: SOSA HENDERSON WITH THE LEGS HOOKED! COVER!

Referee: ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-NOOOOOO!!!

Stew-O: SOSA was close but Elite will not be denied as he managed to fight through the pin and kick out!

Rich Russillo: Chris Elite has been through so much in his career and is the caliber of athlete that has endured some of the most vicious attacks in pro wrestling. Dude got blown up by a Jeep and wrestled the next week for Christ’s sake!

Stew-O: As tough as they come and representing Dynasty tonight as best as he can as SOSA pulls him up off the ground and onto his feet once again. SOSA is control as he BAM! Stiff uppercut lifts Chris Elite off his feet briefly! JAB! JAB! RIGHT HOOK! The boxing combination being delivered to Chris Elite is Gervonta Davis esque.

Jake Mercer: Gold ol’ Gervonta “Tank” Davis. He got the nickname “Tank” from his previous job as a Propane tank specialist and salesmen. Yea, he used to live in Texas with his son Bobby and his wife Peggy and they used to have a-

Rich Russillo: Gervonta Davis is not Hank Hill from King of the Hill. You know little about wrestling and you know even less about boxing. 

Jake Mercer: :noah:

James Peters: SOSA scoops Chris Elite up once again as-

Rich Russillo: FLOAT OVER BY CHRIS ELITE!

Stew-O: Elite manages to get behind SOSA as Elite Chris wraps his arms around Henderson and pops his hips…GERMAN SUPLEX PLANTS SOSA ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! SOSA is folded like an accordion!

Rich Russillo: Folded like a lawn chair!

Jake Mercer: Folded like a Motorola Razr!

James Peters: AND CHRIS ELITE BRIDGES THE SUPLEX FOR A COVER!

Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-NOOOOOOOO!!!

Stew-O: That was a nasty German suplex but it was not nasty enough as Henderson stays alive in this hotly contested bout. 

James Peters: We have two high caliber elitists dueling here at Pain for Pride despite them both being tag team partners that seemed poised to win the Unified Tag Team titles.

Rich Russillo: Thing is, Stew, the pressure of NOT winning when many expect you to do just that can be daunting. We’ve seen teams shatter over petty things and we’ve seen rivals be birthed out of unfortunate situations. Many people would look at SOSA and Chris together and just see money. Two of the most talented men on the roster together? You’d think it’s a match made in heaven but in the case of Elite and Henderson against Idol-Gun? It didn’t work out for them.

Stew-O: It’s working out right now for Chris as he grabs SOSA by the tights and gets him off the mat. Henderson seems helpless as Elite spins him around and Irish whips hip viciously into the ring corner. Chris points a finger at SOSA

Jake Mercer: hehe…Chris Elite finger.

Rich Russillo: AND RUSHES WITH A FULL HEAD OF STEAM AT SOSA HENDERSON! HUGE HAWK EM DOUBLE KNEE TO THE CHEST OF SOSA AS HENDERSON IS CLEARLY FEELING THAT ONE!

James Peters: I’m surprised smoke didn’t escape SOSA’s mouth after that knee right there. 

Rich Russillo: Ah, like his Chief Keef theme song! “Gas what I smoke!”, yes?

Stew-O: Ha, imagine not like Chief Keef! SOSA is feeling that pain and not liking this. Another Chief Keef reference ha.

Rich Russillo: As we have fun, SOSA is having the opposite of fun as Chris Elite pushes him away from the turnbuckle and leaps on top of the turnbuckle himself. SOSA staggers forward, unaware at his opponents position as Henderson slowly turns around and sees ELITE EXPLODE FROM THE CORNER AND FLOAT IN THE AIR! CROSS BODY SPLA-NO!

Jake Mercer: COUNTED BY SOSA!! SPEAR!!! SPEAR IN MID AIR AS SOSA CATCHES CHRIS ELITE RIGHT IN THE RIBS! 

James Peters: SOSA PLANTS CHRIS ELITE FLAT ON HIS BACK AS HE PROCEEDS TO HOOK HIS OPPONENTS LEFT LEG FOR ANOTHER COVER!!

Referee: ONNNNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!

TH-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Jake Mercer: Huge kick out by Blicky Boyz leader Bhris Elite!

Rich Russillo: SOSA pounces on top of Chris and begins raining fist after fist as Chris tries to protect himself! Left! Right! Left, left, right right! It sounds like I’m describing a dance but I’m telling you that SOSA is raining punches all over Chris Elite as Chris struggles to block them all. Chris SHOVES SOSA away finally as both men roll to their feet. SOSA rushes Chris as THE DICK EATERY-STOPPER! Chris Elite’s Mike Tyson style uppercut levels SOSA as he drops to one knee in front of Chris!

Stew-O: Chris Elite smirks as he stares at SOSA on the mat.

Chris Elite: (off-mic) I should throw a stack at you right now cause you look like a bitch!

SOSA Henderson: (off-mic) You…gay…

Stew-O: DREAMING! CHRIS ELITE HAS SOSA DREAMING AFTER CRACKING HIM WITH THAT BEAUTIFULLY EXECUTED AXE KICK! SOSA collapses to the mat as Chris Elite runs to the ring ropes, SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE TOP ROPE, AND CRASHES ONTO SOSA WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! WHAT A TIMELY MOVE AS THE HIGH FLYING EXTRAORDINAIRE GOES RIGHT INTO ANOTHER PIN ATTEMPT! COVER!

Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: A huge high flying move is likely to be the way one of these gentlemen secures the victory…its just not going to be that one by Chris Elite. The excellent Dreaming Axe Kick was followed by a courageously timed springboard moonsault but SOSA isn’t ready to give up yet it seems. Chris drags SOSA up as…

Chris Elite:

Stew-O: A lil dancey dance by Chris Elite as he mocks the hurt Henderson. ONE PUNCH CONNECTS FROM CHRIS ELITE! ANOTHER PUNCH LANDS! SHOOT KICK TO THE STERNUM BY CHRIS AND HE FOLLOWS IT WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST! CHRIS ELITE CAPS ITS IT OFF WITH A VICIOUS LARIAT THAT TURNS SOSA HENDERSON INSIDE OUT! THE 5 BOROUGH COMBO LANDS IN RAPID SUCCESSION AS SOSA IS ON HIS BACK IN DEEP TROUBLE!

Jake Mercer: SOSA has a background in boxing to go along with his already amazing wrestling skills. Little known fact, before Tyron Woodley agreed to fight Jake Paul, SOSA was rumored to be his next opponent but the deal was called off at the very last minute when they allegedly wanted to implement a “No fucking bitches” clause that would force both men to abstain from having sex with groupies and loose ladies before the fight. Clearly the bitches love SOSA and SOSA loves them bitches!

Rich Russillo: SOSA doesn’t love the offense being created by one Chris Elite as SOSA tries to get off the mat but is met with a stiff dropkick by Chris as Henderson is back down on the floor. SOSA begins crawling towards the ring ropes as Chris grabs him by his hair. Elite snatches SOSA up and HOISTS HIS FOE ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! Chris Elite has SOSA in position. FUSION DAN-DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! THE REVERSAL!

James Peters: REVERSE HURRICANRANA BY SOSA HENDERSON PUTS CHRIS ELITE RIGHT ON TOP OF HIS OWN HEAD AS HIS NECK FOLDS LIKE A LAPTOP AND CHRIS ELITE BOUNCES OFF HIS OWN SKULL AND LANDS FLAT ON HIS STOMACH! SOSA IS ON BOTH KNEES AS HE CATCHES HIS BREATH! SOSA HAS HIS FACE COVERED BY HIS DREADS AS HE MOVES THE LOCKS OUT OF HIS EYES WAY AND SMIRKS AT THE CAMERA POSITIONED RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM!

Rich Russillo: SOSA with the timely counter that not only helped him avoid being harmed by one of Chris Elite’s infamous and signature moves, it led him to landing a huge reversal that leaves Chris Elite out cold in the center of the ring! SOSA crawls to the ring ropes, LEAPS OVER AND ONTO THE RING APRON, and Henderson stands there watching at waiting for Chris to stir. Elite begins to move as he clutches the back of his head and neck unaware at Henderson on the apron. Chris rises and turns as SOSA LEAPS AND SPRINGBOARDS ONTO THE TOP RING ROPE…SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK CONNECTS AS SOSA KICKS CHRIS ELITE SO HARD THAT ELITE STUMBLES BACKWARDS…AND OUT OF THE RING VIA THE MIDDLE ROPES!

Stew-O: SOSA just sent Chris Elite flying like a G6 as Chris Elite lands on the ring apron opposite his opponent. SOSA rushes and leaps over that rope without touching it at all. Straight vertical without any assistance as he lands right onto the apron that Chris is laying on. Chris is pulled off the apron and hoisted onto SOSA Henderson’s shoulders as SOSA positions his opponent perfectly. DEATH VALLEY DRIVER RIGHT ONTO THE RING APRON BY SOSA AS HE DRIVES THAT NECK OF CHRIS ELITE RIGHT INTO THE HARDEST PART OF THE WRESTLING RING! THE THUD! GOD I THINK WE MAY HAVE HEARD A BONE CRACK AFTER THAT!

Rich Russillo: For everyone’s sake, lets hope that wasn’t Chris’s neck breaking and more so just the ring breaking from the power of that apron Death Valley Driver! SOSA hops off the apron and begins walking with confidence ring side as fans begin booing him heavily here at Pain for Pride!

SOSA Henderson: (off-mic) I’M TOO FUCKING GOOD!

Jake Mercer: SOSA postures with the fans ring side as he ignores his opponent on the apron.

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!

James Peters: The referee starts the count as SOSA seems unbothered at the moment. The fans here are booing him like crazy as he soaks it all up. Chris Elite is moving but clutching his neck as the pain must be tremendous right now.

Stew-O: SOSA makes a quick pivot, turns, and slides back in the ring before getting to his feet and searching for Chris. Elite is seated with his back to SOSA on the very ring apron he just was dropped onto as SOSA laughs before running to the opposite ring ropes, bouncing off of them, and charge Chris full speed…

Rich Russillo: BASEBALL SLIDE TO CHRIS ELITE AS HE GOES FLYING OFF THE RING APRON!

Jake Mercer: Man that reminds me of my time in Mexico!

Stew-O: SOSA is in rare form as he slides in the middle of the ring and gets to his feet. SOSA stares back at the downed Chris Elite who is ringside in a lot of pain. The referee restarts his count now for Chris himself.

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!

Jake Mercer: This sounds like Brooklyn Nets fans counting down a Giannis Antetkoumpo free throw attempt! He should slow down. Give Chris a chance to breathe!

Rich Russillo: Elite is dragging himself up as SOSA watches intently.

Referee: FOUR! FIVE! SIX!

James Peters: SOSA has waited long enough as Elite rises to his feet. As Elite turns, SOSA CAN BE SEEN LEAPING FROM INSIDE THE RING RIGHT OUT ONTO CHRIS ELITE AS HE CONNECTS WITH A TOP CON HILO!!!

Rich Russillo: The grace in which he moves leads to graphic violence to every opponent he faces as SOSA crashes onto Elite with all his weight and force just now!

Stew-O: Chris Elite is pulled off the marr by SOSA as Henderson drags him and rolls him under the bottom rope back into the squared circle. SOSA remains in control as he climbs back into the ring and latches his hands on the back of Chris Elite’s neck. Chris is helpless as SOSA scoops Chris in his arms. STIFF BACKBREAKER NEARLY SNAPS CHRIS ELITE IN HALF AS HENDERSON KEEPS THE PRESSURE ON HIS FOE! Henderson smiles as he lifts Chris back off the ground and-SCHOOLBOY!

Rich Russillo: CHRIS ELITE MANAGES TO PULL OFF THE SCHOOL BOY AS SOSA LIFTED HIM OFF THE MAT!

Jake Mercer: BUT SOSA KICKS HIM OFF BEFORE THE REFEREE CAN EVEN START A COUNT! SOSA GETS UP AS CHRIS IS FAVORING HIS NECK AND NOW BACK! SOSA CHARGES CHRIS AS-

James Peters: OPEN YA MATA! JUMPING KNEE STRIKE COUNTER CONNECTS AS CHRIS ELITE STUNS SOSA HENDERSON!

Jake Mercer: Chris follows that knee with a stiff side kick to SOSA’s stomach. SOSA bends forward. Chris has him in a piledriver position. CHRIS LIFTS SOSA ABOVE HIS HEAD! SIT OUT POWERBOMB! CHRIS ELITE HAS SOSA IN A PIN! COVER!!!!!

Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!

TH-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: SOSA MANAGED TO GET W SHOULDER UP AS THE FIGHT CONTINUES ON! 

Stew-O: Chris Elite hops off the mat, still slightly favoring that back and especially that neck, and pulls SOSA up with one hand by the wrist.

Jake Mercer: CHRISSY WITH THE WRIST-Y!

Stew-O: Ok. CHRIS IRISH WHIPS-

Rich Russillo: NO SOSA REVERSES IT! SOSA THROWS A SUPERKICK!

Stew-O: NO CHRIS DUCKS IT! CHRIS LEAPS FORWARD AND HITS THE ALMIGHTY PUSH AND GOD IS MY WITNESS HE JUST SENT SOSA FLYING BACKWARDS!

Jake Mercer: SOSA IS FLAT ON HIS BACK BUT BEGINS TO ROLL TO HIS FEET!

Rich Russillo: Chris Elite pushes off the ground and stares at his foe. Chris charges SOSA one more time as SOSA stands directly up…CHRIS QUICKLY SCOOPS UP SOSA HENDERSON AND BEGINS TO SPIN UNTIL HE FINDS THE DIRECTION HE WANTS TO TAKE HIM…LAWN DART BY CHRIS ELITE AS HE THROWS HENDERSON INTO THE TURNBUCKLE FULL FORCE LIKE IT WAS NOTHING! The deceptively strong Chris Elite powers through SOSA as SOSA crumbles like croutons to the mat. Chris Elite drags SOSA to his feet but kicks him until his back is pressed against the turnbuckle before turning around and sprinting full speed to the opposite corner. Chris back and accelerates with all his might back towards SOSA…

James Peters: ANOTHER HUGE HAWK EM AS THE DOUBLE KNEE SMASH NEARLY CAVES IN SOSA’S CHEST! It’s almost concave following those double knees as SOSA collapses and rolls right into the center of the ring. Chris Elite looks rejuvenated as he smirks at the momentum now fully in his favor. Elite watches as Henderson is on his back covering his chest and he nods briefly at the pain his opponent is in. Chris turns and leaps onto the nearby turnbuckle and EXPLODES OFF OF IT! 

Rich Russillo: AIMIN’ FOR THE MOON!!!!!!

Stew-O: NOOOOOO!!!! THE SENSATIONAL SPIRAL TAP FINISHING MOVE FAILS AS SOSA ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY COMPLETELY! CHRIS LANDS TERRIBLY ON THAT NECK AND IS ROLLING ON THE GROUND IN AGONY!!!

Rich Russillo: SOSA targeted that neck over and over and Chris fought through it but man that move is high risk for a good damn reason as SOSA stirs and Chris Elite looks out of commission currently.

Jake Mercer: SOSA is mustering the strength to rise as the fans begin booing him. Chris Elite is finally pushing off the mat, slowly to his feet as SOSA prepares himself. Chris stands as-

James Peters: SUPERKICK BY SOSA HENDERSON! SOSA PLANTS HIS FOOT PERFECTLY ON THE MOUTH OF CHRIS ELITE! SOSA ISNT FINISHED…SOSA LEAPS…LEAPING DDT CONNECTS!

Stew-O: DEADSHOT! DEADSHOT! DEADSHOT BY SOSA!

Rich Russillo: SOSA LANDS THE DEADSHOT AND CHRIS ELITE MIGHT BE DEAD TO RIGHTS AS HENDERSON ROLLS OVER AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!!

Referee: OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Stew-O: This crowd ROARS as Chris Elite pops his shoulder right up to avoid the pin fall! SOSA cannot believe it as he runs his hands through his hair before shaking his head aggressively!

Jake Mercer: It’s aggressive cause he’s black huh? Let me get Dr. D’Angelo out here so he can set you straight, Stew!

Rich Russillo: SOSA is crawling to the ring ropes, using each one to help get him off the mat as Chris Elite and that badly hurt neck miraculously found a way to continue fighting but at what cost? SOSA is sweating but he is trying to keep his cool as he turns to see Chris rolling over to his side and clutching that neck more than ever. SOSA sees him and stares right at that neck area. Chris Elite rolls to his stomach, on his hands and knees now as he pushes off the ground and-

James Peters: SOSA! HE RUSHES! HE LEAPS! DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE BACK OF THE NECK OF CHRIS ELITE AS HE FLATTENS HIM IN THE MAT!

Rich Russillo: GOD HOW DEPRAVED WAS THAT! THE MAN WAS AS DEFENSELESS AS A MAN CAN BE AND THE COLD HEARTED, RUTHLESSNESS OF SOSA HENDERSON TOOK OVER AS HE BASICALLY CONNECTED WITH A DIFFERENT VERSION OF THE PAID IN FULL STOMP JUST NOW! SOSA ISNT DONE!

(BAM!!!!)

Stew-O: ANOTHER ONE! VICIOUSLY SOSA LEAPS AND

(BAM!!!!)

Stew-O: A THIRD DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND NECK!

James Peters: This is murder Jesus!

Stew-O: Chris is flat on his face. He’s out cold. Chris Elite somehow by the grace of god is moving just a bit. SOSA is walking around the ring as the referee goes to check on Chris Elite. He’s checking as-SOSA SHOULDER BUMPS THE REFEREE OUT OF HIS WAY! SOSA PUTS A FOOT ON THE BACK OF CHRIS’S NECK AS CHRIS WIGGLES AND SCREAMS IN SHEER AGONY! HENDERSON IS SMIRKING WITH A COCKY GRIN AS HE SQUEEZES THE AIR OUT OF CHRIS AS THE REFEREE DEMANDS HIM TO BREAK THE ILLEGAL HOLD!

Rich Russillo: This is a single’s match, one of the few on this card without a stipulation but that means the rules are in play and if SOSA doesn’t obey them he can be disqualified and forfeit this victory.

Jake Mercer: At the way he’s enjoying torturing Chris Elite, that just might be his plan here at Pain for Pride. We about to smoke on that Bhrissy pack if this keeps up. Good runtz.

James Peters: You don’t smoke. Virgin.

Jake Mercer: Hey.

Rich Russillo: The referee demands SOSA relent and he finally does. SOSA turns to the crowd and gives a double middle finger to the fans in attendance as he cannot give a damn about how they feel about his actions tonight.

Stew-O: SOSA basks in the hatred again before finally turning back to his wounded prey. Chris Elite is struggling even more to get off the mat as that neck is swelling from all the damage down to it. SOSA assists his opponent by pulling on that neck again as-!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: BOX OFFICE SMASH!!!!! BOX OFFICE SMASH!!!! SUPERKICK OUT OF NOWHERE AS CHRIS ELITE CRACKS SOSA HENDERSON RIGHT ON THE MONEY!

Jake Mercer: THIS BUILDING JUST POPPED LIKE I’VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE! CHRIS ELITE STUMBLES AND LANDS ON HIS ASS AS HENDERSON SLOWLY FALLS FLAT ON HIS BACK! CHRIS FAVORS HIS NECK AS HE SCOOTS CLOSER AND CLOSER TO HENDERSOON!

James Peters: THE BOX OFFICE SMASH OUT OF NOWHERE MAY HAVE SAVED ELITE’S NIGHT! CHRIS SCOOTS AND SLIDES AND PLACES ONE ARM ON SOSA AND ONE ARM ON HIS OWN NECK! COVER!!!!!

Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!!!

THRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

…

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: SOSA NUDGES HIS SHOULDER OFF THE MAT RIGHT BEFORE THE REFEREE TAPS IT!

James Peters: Both men want this more than we may have anticipated. Neither men has a championship to end the season. Neither men was satisfied not becoming Unified Tag Team champions. Both have the pedigree and lineage of being World Champions attached to their names. This is about proving who is the best and who is just a shade lower than the other here tonight at Pain for Pride!

Rich Russillo: Chris Elite and SOSA traded words this week and have the gift of gab as both their talents. Tonight, the heart, determination, and willingness to take this fight to one another is building to an epic conclusion.

Stew-O: Only one can stand tall and currently we see Chris making his way off the mat and standing as upright as he can. SOSA is on his side woozy as can be. Probably still seeing stars after that Box Office Smash super kick. Henderson is dragged by Chris up by his tights as Elite stands directly behind-

James Peters: WAIT! HENDERSON LEAPS BACKWARDS!!!

Rich Russillo: STOLE! YO! BITCH! THE RKO HITS! THE CUTTER CONNECTS AS SOSA PULLS HIS OWN MOVE OUT OF NOWHERE!!!! THAT NECK IS DONE! CHRIS ELITE JUST GOT BENT LIKE ORIGAMI AND FLOPPED TO THE MAT!!!

Stew-O: SOSA JUST TOOK THE AIR BACK OUT OF THIS BUILDING AS HE ROLLS OVER AND COVERS CHRIS ELITE!!

Jake Mercer: BHRIS DOWN! SOSA DOWN! SOSA PUTS HIS ARM OVER BHRIS!!!

Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

(“Faneto” by Chief Keef blasts out the speakers as the fans give a mixed reaction, still mostly filled with boos.)

Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…SOOOOOSA HEENDERRRSONNNNN!!!!!

(SOSA rolls away from Chris Elite as SOSA still looks confused as can be. The effects of the Box Office Smash may have given him a concussion.)

Stew-O: A match between two of the fastest elitists that ever lived just saw SOSA Henderson find a way to hit that RKO literally out of nowhere following Chris Elite’s own out of nowhere super kick. Maybe if Chris had not sustained so many blows to the back of his neck, maybe he kicks out one more time but alas SOSA leaves Pain for Pride with a huge victory as he found a way to rise to the occasion tonight!

Rich Russillo: Hate him or hate him even more, SOSA had a strategy and managed to put it to use as he succeeds where Chris Elite could not! Great effort by Chris but this moment is indeed SOSA’s!

(The match ends with SOSA on his side with his hand raised, gassed, and still a bit confused at how he pulled off that finish. From there, Pain for Pride fades away from the area.)

(Pain For Pride fades to the backstage area of the SoFi Stadium as Michael Belfort is seen making his way through the halls as he catches the eye of a familiar face)

Michael Belfort: Adam Lucas! I’m glad I found you, do you mind if I ask a few questions?

(The crowd pops in excitement as Adam Lucas is seen seated on a production crate. He has casual wear on yet despite that is still bearing the wounds from his brutal match yesterday against Mr. DEDEDE. In his hands is the Hardcore Championship as his eyes continue to be fixated on it. He stares at it for just a little longer before looking at Michael with a smile, nodding his head)

Michael Belfort: First off, congratulations on your Hardcore Championship to you. I’m sure this Championship win means alot to you especially being the first holder since its revival. Can I hear your thoughts on it? 

Adam Lucas: Well, there’s a lot I hold close to my heart at the moment. It being my first Pain For Pride and coming in a Champion and walking out one, that’s an honor in itself. And winning the Hardcore Championship and starting a whole new line of prestige for the title itself, from the final bell to now I’ve had to pinch myself a few times whenever I look at this. It’s a dream come true and sometimes you just find it hard to believe, especially beating a competitor like Ryan Adams. I promised everyone there would be a new GAWD in town and lo and behold, here I am standing here today as your new Hardcore Champion. I have slain the beast in his element, I have outlasted him at Pain For Pride. I told Ryan one thing and it was the fact I was not going to be denied. If he thought that I was going to be compliant and allow him to step over me like that, then he had a whole thing coming for him. Rightful judgement came for Ryan and a dose of karma came with that as well. And let me just say, karma is sweeter than revenge. 

Michael Belfort: It’s a very feel-good moment for you if I do say so myself. But what about the PURE Championship. I know you pride yourself on being PURE Champion and when Mr. DEDEDE introduced the PURE Championship you knew regardless of the result you would not be walking out of the event as PURE Champion. Do you still feel that knot in your stomach knowing that? Or is that completely gone with the wind knowing that somehow you got your payment in full?

Adam Lucas: I told Ryan right out of the gate that it didn’t matter if it was PURE or Hardcore rules, I was still going to beat him. Ryan has always always been a self absorbed egomaniac and you know everything that he’s done leading up to this match has never been for anyone else but himself. He honestly thought that he could smoothly get away with that without any repercussions. It was about damn time that someone returned the favor to him and it’s safe to say both me and Banks did just that at Pain For Pride. The retirement of the PURE Championship is something that is completely out of my control, and sure it was a hard pill to swallow at first, but it’s the business. And what the hell can you do about it? I promise regardless just as I was the face of the PURE Division, the Hardcore Division is going to be no different. I am still a fighting Champion and I will continue to be a fighting Champion for as long as I hold this belt.

Michael Belfort: Speaking of Banks, I’m sure people have their opinions about the end of the match. DEDEDE was inches away from finishing it but in the end it was Banks that interfered from his position at commentary and connected with a Go To Retirement to get a victory. You seem to have absolutely no problem with that at all. Can I get your thoughts on the outside interference?

Adam Lucas: As much as people would say someone like me would be angry with that, it’s what DEDEDE had coming for him. After everyone that he’s belittled and disrespected for God knows how long, it was only a matter of time before one of them came around and kicked him right in the ass. Besides, there’s nothing PURE about the Hardcore Division, it’s in the same. Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty and that’s exactly what I did. It’s definitely a change from the no closed hand punches to the face and three rope break environment that the PURE Championship held. But it’s nothing that I can’t conform to and I think tonight showed just that. So to those possibly twiddling their thumbs saying “#JusticeForDEDEDE” like Kassidy Heart and her ten other accounts trying to defend her “Daddy Gawd”, you clearly don’t know a thing about this Championship.

Michael Belfort: :wow: Well I’m sure my final question is obvious, what’s next for Adam Lucas and the Hardcore Championship?

Adam Lucas: Well, that’s something that’s going to have to be found out with time. I’m not a fortune teller, I can’t really foresee the future. All I know for certain is whoever decides to step up to the plate needs to know that I’m ready for whatever they throw at me. I have exactly what it takes to be a Champion and whoever the hell is going to question that is in for one hell of a rude awakening just like I did last night. Believe it or not, beating DEDEDE was just the start of my climb to the top of the mountain. I’m not done, and as long as I’m an active Elite Answers Wrestling competitor, I will never be done.

Michael Belfort: Adam Lucas thank you for joining us. 

(Michael nods to him as he leaves the scene, leaving Adam on the production crate. He looks back down at the Hardcore Championship and puts it over his shoulder. He from there stands up and walks off as that’s the last shot seen before Pain For Pride transitions to elsewhere)

( Pain for Pride fades back in and cuts down to the ringside area. The fans inside SoFi Stadium have been treated to a hell of a show so far, and one of the best matches of the weekend is next! )

( The crowd absolutely erupts as “brutal” by Olivia Rodrigo begins to blast across the stadium system’s PA. )

Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A CALIFORNIA STREET FIGHT AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR…

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!

Persephone: Or death, hopefully.

( Sierra Bradford steps onto the stage and takes a moment to soak in the atmosphere. She’s a Cali girl, and the crowd really seems to embrace her. )

Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST… FROM SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA… WEIGHING IN AT 121 POUNDS… SHE IS ‘THE QUEEN OF HER WORLD’ … SIERRA BRADFORD!!!!

Persephone: It honestly makes me physically sick to agree with anything Handjob Leewhore has to say about anything ever, but ‘The Queen of Her World’ really is a dumbass nickname. If Sierra Bradford is the queen of her world, then that world must be a fucking awful place to live.

Rich Russillo: You always have some of the best opinions, Persephone :wow:. You never cease to amaze me with how honest you are.

Persephone: I’m still not going to fuck you, Richard.

Stew-O: :mjlol: Well, I can already see how this is going to go. Nevertheless, I am excited for this match. As part of The Realm, Sierra Bradford, along with her opponent tonight, Harper Lee, won the Unified Tag Team Championships back at Territorial Invasion last year. They would go on to reign until this past King of Elite when IDOL-GUN would defeat them along with Chained Fury and The Maidens of Malpractice in a Fatal Fourway Match. Everything seemed fine for Bradford and Lee until they were put against two impressive rookies in Holly Arrow and Mary S. Atlas at Reckless Wiring. Holly and Mary would pull off the upset, and Harper Lee would snap.

Rich Russillo: A bit of an understatement, Stew, because Harper’s actions after that match were absolutely shocking. She tried to pry Sierra’s tongue from her mouth with a pair of pliers and for me to be shocked by that is saying something. I am a Voltage commentator after all.

Stew-O: That is completely fa-

( Stew-O is cut off by the crowd screaming. A partial semi-truck has rolled into the stage, bright yellow in color and without the trailer/bed attached to it. )

( This stops Sierra in her tracks because despite her theme music playing, she can hear the truck and obviously the change in the reaction of the crowd. She turns around and her mouth drops open in shock. )

Persephone: THAT IS XIMENA VELASQUEZ BEHIND THE WHEEL!!!!

Stew-O: SIERRA BRADFORD IS FROZEN IN FEAR AS XIMENA GUNS THE ENGINE! SHE DRIVES RIGHT FOR SIERRA, WHO HESITATES A LITTLE TOO LONG! SIERRA IS STRUCK BY THE TRUCK AND SHE CRUMBLES TO THE GROUND! XIMENA SLAMS ON THE BRAKES AND PUTS THE TRUCK IN PARK AND LOOK WHO IS ON TOP OF THE TRUCK!!!!

( Harper Lee is seen standing on top of the truck, her arms outstretched in the air. )

Harper Lee: (off-mic) :blessed: IT’S ALL ABOUT ME!!!! :blessed:

Rich Russillo: HARPER LEE LOOKS DOWN AT THE FALLEN BODY OF SIERRA BRADFORD AND SHE SLIDES DOWN THE TOP OF THE TRUCK! SHE LANDS FEET FIRST ON THE HOOD AND LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF! DIVING METEORA OFF THE HOOD THE TRUCK!!! HARPER LANDS ON SIERRA AND SHE STARTS THROWING HANDS!

Stew-O: SIERRA IS ABSOLUTELY DEFENSELESS RIGHT NOW! SHE LITERALLY JUST GOT HIT WITH A TRUCK! HARPER IS BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF HER AND NOW SHE GRABS SIERRA BY THE HAIR! SHE DRAGS SIERRA TO THE RING AND THROWS HER FACE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!

Persephone: SIERRA BOUNCES OFF THE RING POST AND HITS THE GROUND WITH A THUD! HARPER GRABS HER UP AND SHE THROWS HER HEAD FIRST INTO THE RING STEPS! HARPER BEGINS STOMPING ON SIERRA’S HEAD!

Rich Russillo: HARPER FINALLY RELENTS BUT SHE IS DIGGING UNDER THE RING! SHE PULLS OUT A KENDO STICK AND SHE BEGINS TO BEAT SIERRA!!!!

Stew-O: HARPER BEATS SIERRA UNTIL SHE BREAKS THAT KENDO STICK IN HALF AND SHE TOSSES HER INTO THE RING!!!!

( DING! DING! DING! )

Rich Russillo: THE BELL RINGS, BUT THIS MATCH MAY AS WELL BE OVER! SIERRA BRADFORD WAS HIT BY A TRUCK DURING HER ENTRANCE AND IT HAS BEEN ALL HARPER LEE! HARPER LOOKS TO FINISH THIS MATCH OFF AND SHE PULLS SIERRA UP! HARPER LEE WITH ‘RAGNAROK’! THE OLYMPIC SLAM CONNECTS ON SIERRA!!!!

Persephone: :yikes: What a shitty movie.

Rich Russillo and Stew-O: :comeagain:

Rich Russillo: Ragnarok is by far the best Thor movie in the franchise and one of the best Marvel movies period.

Persephone: The fact you think that is why you’re still a virgin.

Stew-O: :mjlol: Personally, I liked Thor: Dark World.

Rich Russillo: :mjcry: That hurts my heart.

Persephone: Harper Lee has gone for the pin on Sierra Bradford and we’re about to have one of the quickest matches in Pain for Pride history!!! :blessed:!!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

Stew-O: Sierra kicks out! Harper doesn’t look happy about that, and I shudder to think of what she has planned for Sierra tonight. The change in Harper has been terrifying to say the least. She doesn’t seem to have any boundaries when it comes to what she is willing to do to put her former best friend and tag team partner out of commission for good.

Rich Russillo: Harper drags Sierra up to her feet and tosses her into the corner. Harper gets a running start and is able to connect with a running facewash to the side of Sierra’s face! Sierra drops to her knees in the corner and Harper, showing absolutely no mercy, kicks the other girl right upside the head! Harper drops to the outside of the ring and looks for something else she can use to hurt Sierra with. Sierra’s in a world of trouble right now, and I’m not even sure if she knows where she is right now.

Persephone: She’s getting her ass beat and it’s fucking hilarious. LOVE that for Sierra! Couldn’t be happening to a nicer person on the grandest stage of them all! :mjlol2:

Rich Russillo: She might not know where she’s at, but Sierra knows she is a world of hurt right now. She’s rolled onto the apron on the other side of the ring, putting some much needed space between herself and Harper.

Stew-O: But for how long? Harper has found something to play with and I don’t think that bodes very well for Sierra :lupe:

( Harper Lee has managed to find a chain, but not just any chain! It’s a barbed wire wrapped chain :wow: )

Persephone: The Voltage stagehands definitely put that shit under the ring.

Rich Russillo: Harper slowly makes her way towards Sierra with an absolutely crazed look in her eyes. Sierra has dropped to the floor now and Harper nails her with a kick to the ribs! She bends down, looking to wrap that chain around Sierra’s neck BUT SHE FALLS BACK! HARPER STUMBLES BACK, HOLDING HER EYE!

Stew-O: SIERRA JUST STABBED HARPER IN THE EYE WITH A FORK!

Persephone: YES! HARPER TRIES FOR A KNEE STRIKE, BUT SIERRA ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND STABS HARPER IN THE BACK OF THE KNEE WITH THE FORK! HARPER’S LEGS BUCKLE AND SIERRA FOLLOWS UP WITH ANOTHER VICIOUS STAB TO THE BACK OF THE KNEE! HARPER IS DOWN ON THE GROUND NOW AND SIERRA PLANTS THAT FORK RIGHT BETWEEN HARPER’S SHOULDER BLADES! SHE STABBED HER IN THE BACK! :mjlol2:

Rich Russillo: SIERRA GOES FOR THAT CHAIN AND SHE QUICKLY WRAPS IT AROUND HARPER’S NECK! SIERRA FALLS BACK, LOCKING HER LEGS AROUND HARPER’S WAIST, AND SHE IS ATTEMPTING TO CHOKE HER OUT! SIERRA WAS ABSOLUTELY BRUTALIZED IN THE OPENING MINUTES OF THIS MATCH BUT SHE’S MANAGED TO TURN THE TIDES SO SPEAK! HARPER IS KICKING AND FLAILING BUT SIERRA IS GOING FOR THE CHOKE OUT!!!

Stew-O: NO SHE’S NOT! THAT WOULD BE TOO EASY! SIERRA LETS UP RIGHT BEFORE HARPER FALLS UNCONSCIOUS AND SHE QUICKLY LOOPS THE CHAIN AROUND HARPER’S NECK! SIERRA MAKES SURE TO EMBED THAT BARBED WIRE INTO THE NECK OF HER FORMER PARTNER BEFORE DRAGGING HER UP THE RAMP! SIERRA IS BRINGING THEM TOWARDS THAT TRUCK THAT XIMENA VELSAQUEZ DROVE ONTO THE STAGE!

Persephone: LA DIOSA HAS SEEMINGLY VANISHED AND THAT ALLOWS HARPER TO USE THE CHAIN TO HOIST HARPER UP AND SWING HER INTO THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK! SHE SPLATTERED AGAINST THE GRILL OF THAT THING LIKE A FUCKING MOSQUITO AND I’M DYING! THIS SHIT IS HILARIOUS!

Rich Russillo: SIERRA DRAGS HARPER AROUND TO THE DRIVER’S SIDE AND RIPS OPEN THE DOOR! SHE FORCES HARPER UP ON THE LITTLE STEP AND SLAMS THE DOOR SHUT ON HARPER’S HEAD! SIERRA DOES IT AGAIN AND SHE IS ABSOLUTELY DOING WHATEVER SHE CAN TO LEGITIMATELY KILL HARPER LEE! SIERRA WITH A FIFTH AND FINAL SLAM AND HARPER SLUMPS TO THE GROUND LIKE A RAGDOLL!

Stew-O: SIERRA FOLDS THE CHAIN IN HALF AND SHE IS WHIPPING HER FORMER BEST FRIEND NOW! THE BARBED WIRE CHAIN IS SLICING OPEN THE FLESH ON HARPER’S STOMACH AND THE FRONT OF HER LEGS! SIERRA BRADFORD IS POSSESSED RIGHT NOW

Persephone: I’M HERE FOR IT! :blessed:

Rich Russillo: HARPER LEE HAS BEEN SLICED TO RIBBONS AND SIERRA VIOLENTLY GRABS HER BY THE HAIR AND STARTS TO DRAG HER BACKSTAGE! ALL THE STAGEHANDS AND EAW PERSONNEL ARE GETTING THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY AS SIERRA TOSSES THE LIMP BODY OF HARPER INTO A PILE OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT!!!! SPARKS ARE FLYING EVERYWHERE!

Stew-O: SIERRA HAS TAKEN OFF DOWN THE HALLWAY AND SHE’S IN THE CATERING AREA! SHE GRABS A COOLER FULL OF ICE THAT HAS SEVERAL GRAB AND GO DRINKS JUST CHILLING IN THEM AND SHE IS RUSHING BACK TOWARDS HARPER! HARPER IS TANGLED UP IN BROKEN EQUIPMENT AND ELECTRICAL WIRE AND SIERRA PUSHES THE COOLER TOWARDS HARPER!

Persephone: OMG!

Rich Russillo: SIERRA DUMPS THE CONTENTS OF THE COOLER ONTO HARPER AND SHE IS BEING VIOLENTLY ELECTROCUTED! SIERRA BRADFORD IS STANDING BACK WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE AS SHE WATCHES HER FORMER TAG TEAM PARTNER SCREAM AND WHITHER AROUND IN PAIN! SEVERAL EAW OFFICIALS HAVE COME RUNNING INTO THE SCENE BECAUSE THE SPARKS HAVE CAUSED A SMALL ELECTRICAL FIRE TO BREAK OUT!

Stew-O: BUT SIERRA SHOVES THEM AWAY! SHE GRABS HARPER AND STARTS TO SHOVE HER FACE TOWARDS THE FIRE!

Persephone: XIMENA! XIMENA JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND HIT SIERRA WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! SHE JUST SAVED HARPER LEE FROM BEING BURNED ALIVE AND NOW SHE IS DRAGGING HARPER OUT OF THE RUBBLE! HARPER IS SHAKING AND CONVULSING! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY VOLTS OF ELECTRICITY RIPPED THROUGH HER BODY WHEN THAT ICE COOLER WAS DUMPED ONTO HER, BUT I LIKE IT! I LIKE IT SO MUCH!

Rich Russillo: Holy fuck, what a brutal match so far. I absolutely did not expect Sierra Bradford to come out here tonight ready to kill.

Persephone: Really? I did. What other choice does she have? Meth-Mouth Leewhore literally tried to take her tongue. She tried to permanently disfigure Sierra.

Stew-O: Persephone has a solid point. I knew this wouldn’t be an easy match for Harper to win.

Persephone: Sierra is already back up and SHE HAS A CHAIR! SHE SLAMS THE CHAIR ACROSS THE BACK OF XIMENA VELASQUEZ AND CRACKS HER ACROSS THE TOP OF THE HEAD! XIMENA IS OUT LIKE A LIGHT AND HARPER IS LEFT AT SIERRA’S MERCY NOW! SIERRA SLAMS THE CHAIR DOWN ACROSS HARPER’S STOMACH AND SHE DROPS DOWN FOR THE PIN!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE-

Rich Russillo: HARPER LIVES!!!! SHE SOMEHOW GOT THE SHOULDER UP!!!!

Persephone: That’s just fine with Sierra! Sierra grabs a hold of the chain and has gone back to strangling Harper! There is absolutely nothing the referee can do, because this match is a streetfight and I love it. :drakelike: The more violence, the better, and I fucking love seeing women tearing down other women! It gives me life! Sierra is back to her feet now and she continues to drag Harper down the hall. :damn:

Stew-O: Sierra just slung Harper into the men’s restroom!!!

Persephone: RICH LOOK! IT’S JAMESY! WE JUST CAUGHT JAMES TAKING A LEAK Damn, he looks pretty hung.

Rich Russillo: :will:

Stew-O: :wtf:

( James Peters quickly zips up his fly and gets the fuck out of the bathroom. )

Rich Russillo: SIERRA WHIPS HARPER INTO THE SIDE OF THE URINAL AND SHE SLUMPS TO THE GROUND! SIERRA FOLLOWS UP WITH A SOLID KNEE STRIKE THAT SENDS THE BACK OF HARPER’S SKULL CRASHING AGAINST THE PORCELAIN. SIERRA SNATCHES HARPER BY THE HAIR AND SHE SLAMS HER FACE INTO THAT DIRTY URINAL!!!!

Stew-O: NO! HARPER SOMEHOW MANAGED TO GET HER FOOT UP AND BLOCK! HOW THE HELL IS HARPER LEE ABLE TO DEFEND HERSELF??

Persephone: I mean, unless you’re into that sort of thing, I don’t think you want your face slammed into a pissy, smelly urinal.

Rich Russillo: Sierra falters just a bit and that allows Harper to send her reeling with a back elbow! Harper collapses to her knees but she is able to move out of the way as Sierra looks for another knee! Sierra’s knee collides with the urinal and she crumbles to the ground! Sierra is holding her knee and Harper FINALLY gets a chance to unwrap that chain from around her and regroup. She might have started this match with things under her control, but Sierra quickly turned the tides and hasn’t let up yet. This is the first time Harper has been able to defend herself and now she looks to capitalize!

Stew-O: Harper staggers to her feet and limps towards Sierra. She puts the boots to that injured right knee and follows up with a solid kick that connects right to her opponent’s face! Harper is breathing hard, but it’s clear right now that she is getting her head back into this match. She pulls Sierra up by the hair, hooks her by the bad leg, and THERE’S AN EXPLODER SUPLEX THROUGH THE BATHROOM STALL DOOR!

Persephone: SIERRA GOES CRASHING THROUGH THE DOOR AND HARPER QUICKLY PULLS HER OUT OF THE RUBBLE! SHE KICKS A PATH THROUGH THE DEBRIS AND SLAMS SIERRA’S FACE OFF THE TOILET SEAT! SHE DOES IT SEVERAL MORE TIMES BEFORE SHOVING SIERRA’S FACE INTO THE WATER! SHE’S TRYING TO DROWN HER!!!!

Rich Russillo: SIERRA IS GOING TO DIE! HARPER PUSHES ALL HER WEIGHT ON TOP OF SIERRA, ABSOLUTELY CRUSHING HER FACE INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE TOILET! SIERRA’S KICKS ARE GROWING WEAKER AND WEAKER!

Stew-O: HARPER JERKS SIERRA’S HEAD UP AT THE ABSOLUTE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND! SIERRA IS DESPERATELY GASPING FOR AIR RIGHT NOW AND HARPER CRUELLY THROWS HER OUT OF THE STALL!

Persephone: SIERRA LANDS BY THE SINK AND TRIES TO PULL HERSELF UP, BUT HARPER LEE GRABS THE TRASHCAN AND THROWS IT RIGHT AT SIERRA! SIERRA FALLS DOWN AND HARPER DROPS, HAMMERING AWAY ON SIERRA! RIGHTS AND LEFTS CONNECT ALL OVER SIERRA’S HEAD!

Rich Russillo: HARPER JERKS SIERRA UP AND PUNCHES HER RIGHT IN THE THROAT! SHE MAINTAINS CONTROL OF SIERRA’S ARM AND WHIPS HER INTO THE WALL! SIERRA HITS BACK FIRST, AND SLUMPS TO THE GROUND, BUT HARPER DOESN’T EVEN GIVE HER A MOMENT TO BREATHE! HARPER GRABS THE HAIR AND SHE RAMS SIERRA’S FACE INTO THE MIRROR! SIERRA’S FACE IS PUT THROUGH A MIRROR AND GLASS SHATTERS EVERYWHERE! HARPER WRAPS SIERRA UP FROM BEHIND, THROWS HER BACK WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX, AND THAT WAS A SICKENING CRACK AS THE BACK OF SIERRA’S HEAD SLAMMED INTO THE GROUND!

Stew-O: HARPER WITH THE COVER NOW!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEE-

Persephone: Drake’s bitch gets the shoulder up!

Stew-O: Harper immediately gets back to her feet and she goes for the chain! This time it’s Sierra Bradford who finds herself being punished. Harper beats Sierra to a bloody pulp with that chain, shredding Sierra’s Paramore t-shirt!

Persephone: Ehh, they suck anyways.

Rich Russillo: Harper quickly wraps the chain around Sierra’s injured knee and she starts to drag her out of the bathroom. They make their way down the hallway, with Sierra trying to sit up and grab at the chain, but Harper stops them right as she makes her way to one of the exits, and she stomps on the knee a few times! She flips Sierra onto her stomach, and hooks more of the chain around Sierra’s other leg, attaching them together! She grabs Sierra’s head and pulls back, tying Sierra’s neck to her bound legs! :damn:

Persephone: Damn, so Harper must be into bondage or something because that’s a pretty brutal hogtie position. I thought the bitch was a virgin this whole time.

Stew-O: Sierra is unable to fend for herself at the moment and Harper hauls her outside! This fight has finally spilled outside of SoFi Stadium :blessed:

Rich Russillo: I have no clue what Harper has in mind right now as she drags Sierra across the pavement. Sierra has absolutely torn up her own hands trying to keep that barbed wire chain from strangling her.

( The camera shot cuts to a beautiful aerial view of SoFi Stadium so the fans at home can see how it’s laid out. )

Persephone: Harper is taking Sierra to where that SoFi Stadium sign is location :lupe:

Stew-O: Harper hauls Sierra up by her bonds and swings her right into the sign! Sierra bounces off and lands in a heap and that prompts Harper to grab Sierra AND I THINK SHE IS GOING TO TRY AND THROW HER INTO THE WATER! THE LAKES AROUND SOFI STADIUM ARE ABOUT 15-FEET DEEP GUYS! SIERRA WILL DROWN :lupe:

Persephone: Who’s going to miss her?

Rich Russillo: :lupe: Drake might!

Stew-O: It seems like cooler heads are prevailing right now as Harper Lee has second thoughts about throwing Sierra over the waterfall and into the lake. She throws her into the SoFi sign once again and finally she bends down and starts to free Sierra from her bonds.

Persephone: :will: She should have just thrown that bitch into the water. This match would have had to be called off. Why can’t I ever get what I want around here??

Rich Russillo: Harper has gone back to beating Sierra with that chain, and once again, this match is solidly in Harper Lee’s favor. She throws the chain to the side and drags Sierra to the edge of the waterfall! She shoves Sierra’s head into the water, while shouting at her, and she begins to punch Sierra in the back of the skull! Harper rips Sierra out of the water just long enough so she can catch her breath, and she dunks her back under!

Stew-O: Sierra has got to find a way to get herself back into this match. She’s taken a lot of abuse in this match, including getting hit by a semi-truck and having her face slammed through a mirror! I’m not sure how much more she can take.

Persephone: Well Harper seems determined to find out! She flips Sierra over onto her back and mounts her! Punch after punch connects with Sierra’s face! Harper is choking her now, and look! Out of sheer desperation, Sierra rakes Harper across the face! HARPER STILL HAS A HOLD OF SIERRA, BUT SIERRA RAKES HER IN THE EYES AGAIN! HARPER HAS TO LET GO AND THAT ALLOWS SIERRA TO SHOVE HER OFF AND SCRAMBLE AWAY FROM THE EDGE OF THE WATER! HARPER HAS REGAINED HER SENSES, AND SHE LUNGES FOR SIERRA, BUT SIERRA QUICKLY CUTS HER OFF WITH A KNEE TO THE GUT! HARPER DOUBLES OVER AND SIERRA WITH A DOUBLE AXE-HANDLE TO THE BACK TO FORCE HARPER TO HER KNEES!

Rich Russillo: SIERRA ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS HARPER WITH SEVERAL KNEE STRIKES TO THE FACE, AND ABSOLUTELY LAYS HER OUT WITH A NASTY KICK TO THE TEMPLE! SIERRA LOOKS DOWN AT HER FALLEN HER PARTNER AND I DO NOT LIKE THE LOOK THAT JUST CROSSED HER FACE :lupe:

Stew-O: SIERRA GRABS HARPER AND DRILLS HER INTO THE GROUND WITH A DDT! SHE RIPS HER TATTERED T-SHIRT OFF AND TIES THE PIECES AROUND HARPER’S EYES, NOSE, AND MOUTH!!!

Persephone: EWWWW! Why is her bra so ugly?? It looks like it came from Wal-Mart!

Rich Russillo: :mjlol:

Sierra Bradford: (off-mic) REMEMBER WHEN YOU TITLED YOUR VIDEO PARAMORE SUCKS??

Persephone: SIERRA DRAGS HARPER TO THE WATER AND HOOKS HER BY THE LEGS, SHE SLINGS HARPER OVER THE EDGE, HANGING ONTO HER LEGS! HARPER IS HANGING UPSIDE IN THE MIDST OF THAT RUSHING WATERFALL!!!!

Sierra Bradford: (off-mic) PARAMORE DOESN’T SUCK YOU BITCH!

Rich Russillo: Well I have fucking seen it all. Sierra Bradford is currently waterboarding Harper Lee. You can’t make this shit up.

Stew-O: Sierra finally pulls Harper up, who is gasping for air and trembling. Sierra looks absolutely pissed off and she drags Harper over to the SoFi sign. Sierra grabs Harper from behind and hits a release German suplex! Harper goes flying into the sign, striking the side of her head against it! She may be out, guys. We may finally have a winner for this match!

Persephone: I mean, as long as one of them is legitimately ready to kill the other one, we can continue on for a few more minutes. I’ve really only seen two actual murders before and I need more.

Rich Russillo: :comeagain: Now wait a second…

Stew-O: What do you mean you’ve seen two murders before??

Persephone: :lupe: It’s a long story and I shouldn’t talk about it so candidly.

Stew-O: :skip:

Rich Russillo: Sierra has the blindfolded Harper Lee by the hair and has started to drag her towards the parking lot area. These women have done some absolutely heinous things to one another, and something tells me we are far from through. Neither one of these women will ever be satisfied unless they incapacitate the other competitor! Sierra has taken Harper over to a row of parked cars and throws her into the last vehicle in the line!!!!

Persephone: That is one one of the ugliest fucking trucks I have ever seen in my life. Must be Ronan Malosi’s rental.

Stew-O: :mjlol: It certainly has a Republican vibe to it, doesn’t it?

Rich Russillo: SIERRA RIPS THE BLINDFOLD OFF HARPER AND HAS TAKEN HER AND SHOVED HER HEAD INTO THE SPACE WHERE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN LIFTED! SHE HAS CONTROL OF HARPER’S HAIR AND SHE IS RUBBING HARPER’S FACE ACROSS THE TOP OF THE MUD TIRES!!!! SIERRA PULLS HARPER OUT AND SLAMS HER INTO THE PASSENGER’S SIDE DOOR!!!!

???: HEY!!!!

( The passenger’s side door opens and Alissa Brady hits the pavement with a thud. Ronan Malosi sticks his head out with an angry look on his face. )

Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) GET YOUR ASSES OUT OF HERE! WE’RE BUSY!

( The sounds of Tim McGraw’s song, “Something Like That” can be heard blasting from the speakers of the vehicle. )

I had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt

You were killing me in that miniskirt

Skippin’ rocks on the river by the railroad tracks

( Sierra looks from Ronan to Alissa and makes a disgusted face. )

Sierra Bradford: (off-mic) Is THIS your idea of make-out music??

You had a suntan line and red lipstick

I worked so hard for that first kiss

And a heart don’t forget something like that

Alissa Brady: (off-mic) Bitch I know you’re not standing there talking shit about our taste in music when your boyfriend has to fucking cleanse himself with Holy water, listen to hymnals, and say three Hail Marys every time he gives you a side hug.

Sierra Bradford: (off-mic) :picard:

Like an old photograph

Time can make a feeling fade

But the memory of a first love

Never fades away

( Alissa climbs back into the truck and Ronan slams the door shut. Sierra shudders. )

Rich Russillo: (singing) I had a barbeque stain on my white t-shirt. Seph, you’re killing me in that miniskirt…

Persephone: no.

Stew-O: HARPER LEE WITH A LOW BLOW!

Persephone: SHE JUST PUNCHED SIERRA RIGHT IN THE CROTCH! :mjlol2:

Rich Russillo: SIERRA CLUTCHES HER LADY BITS AND DROPS DOWN TO HER KNEES! ‘DRAGON FIST’!!! HARPER WITH A HUGE RIGHT HOOK THAT DAMN NEAR TOOK SIERRA’S HEAD OFF! HARPER THROWS HERSELF DOWN ON TOP OF SIERRA AND THE REFEREE QUICKLY GETS DOWN FOR THE COVER!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE-

Stew-O: SIERRA IS ABLE TO KICK OUT! HARPER SEEMS FRUSTRATED NOW! SHE FLIPS SIERRA OVER, GRABS HER HAIR, AND DRIVES SIERRA’S FACE INTO THE PAVEMENT SEVERAL TIMES! SHE JERKS HER UP AND LOOKS TO THROW HER INTO A CAR, BUT SIERRA IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A KICK TO HARPER’S MID-SECTION, AND IT’S SIERRA WHO IS ABLE TO BREAK FREE! SHE DRIVES HER SHOULDER INTO HARPER’S STOMACH AND SHE FORCES HER BACK AGAINST A BLACK LEXUS LFA NURBURGRING!!!!

Persephone: :lupe: Isn’t that HRDO’s car?

Rich Russillo: :yikes: SIERRA SLAMS THE BACK OF HARPER’S HEAD INTO THE DRIVER’S SIDE WINDOW AND THROWS HER ONTO THE HOOD OF THE CAR!

Persephone: Yo, I’m googling this car and did you know that like only 500 of these were ever made??? :yikes:

Stew-O: SIERRA HAS JUMPED ON TOP OF THE HOOD OF CAR AND LAYS HARPER OUT FLAT! SIERRA CLIMBS TO THE ROOF NOW, AND THERE IS A DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO HARPER’S STOMACH!!!

Persephone: Well that surely put a dent in a rather expensive, and rather exclusive luxury car.

Rich Russillo: :lupe: Well there goes the windshield. Sierra just put Harper’s head through it!

???: (off-mic) HEY! LEAVE THAT CAR ALONE!

( HRDO has come running out to the parking lot to check on his precious car. Unfortunately, it’s a bit too late. )

Sierra Bradford: (off-mic): :lupe: I am so sorry.

Persephone: Sierra carelessly rips Harper out of that glass and throws her down to the ground! She quickly drapes her body across Harper’s and hooks the leg!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEE-

Sierra Bradford: :noah:

Stew-O: Absolutely incredible resilience shown here by Harper Lee! Sierra has basically thrown everything but the kitchen sink at her, but she continues to fight. Sierra gets up and looks around, desperately trying to figure out what to do next. She finally gets up, helping Harper to her feet, and she wraps Harper in a sleeper! She maintains the sleeper as she drags her back towards the building.

Rich Russillo: It looks like they’re about to come back inside BUT THE DOOR JUST SWUNG OPEN! IT HIT SIERRA AS SHE WAS GOING TO OPEN IT, AND THERE’S XIMENA! SHE’S BACK! HARPER HAS SLID OUT OF SIERRA’S CLUTCHES AND RIGHT NOW, SIERRA IS HOLDING HER HEAD WHERE THAT DOOR SMACKED HER! XIMEMA RAKES THE BACK OF SIERRA BRADFORD AND DRIVES HER KNEE INTO SIERRA’S KIDNEY AREA! SHE QUICKLY PICKS HER UP BY THE ARMS, SPINS HER AROUND, AND GLAM SLAMS HER DOWN ONTO A METAL RAILING! SIERRA’S NECK SNAPS BACK AT A VIOLENT ANGLE!!!!

Persephone: XIMENA IS PICKING UP HARPER AND SLAPPING HER A BIT TO GET HER TO WAKE UP! HARPER HAS BEEN PUT THROUGH THE RINGER IN THIS MATCH BUT THANKS TO XIMENA, SHE MAY VERY WELL HAVE A NEW LEASE ON LIFE NOW!

Rich Russillo: SHE MIGHT, BUT I THINK SHE’S STILL OUT OF IT! :lupe: 

Stew-O: I think you’re right, Rich. Ximena drops Harper and goes back to Sierra! SHE LIFTS HER UP WITH ONE HAND AND THERE IS ‘XV’!!! XIMENA WITH THE ONE-HANDED POWERBOMB TO SIERRA, AND SIERRA IS SPRAWLED OUT ON THE GROUND! XIMENA GRABS HARPER AND THROWS HER ON TOP OF SIERRA, AND THIS MATCH IS OVER!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Persephone: :blessed: IT’S FINALLY OVER!!!!

Stew-O: Wait… no. LOOK! The referee is pointing at Sierra’s shoulder! It’s slightly raised because she landed on a beer bottle! Her shoulder is up by literal inches and that has just saved her in this match!

Persephone: As if we needed another shitty moment like that. All that does is give me PTSD to when Terry landed on that stupid ball in the chamber, and we were forced to watch him beat SOSA for the world championship. Never again do I ever wanted to be subjected to a Terry Chambers title reign :kellycry:

Rich Russillo: Well I think right now, Sierra Bradford is just grateful that the match is still going. Ximena honestly looks pissed and she kicks the bottle out from under Sierra and demands the referee count again!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEE-

Stew-O: Sierra is able to kick out this time!

Rich Russillo: Ximena is fed up and she snatches both women up, throwing them back inside! These two are back inside SoFi Stadium now and neither one seems to be able to get to their feet! Ximena drags them both back towards the stage and here they come! Sierra and Harper are both back out now thanks to La Diosa, but neither one is able to get up! The former Unified Tag Team Champions are laying on the stage, looking up at the sky. They have waged an absolute war tonight and neither woman seems to be in a position to finish this match right now.

Persephone: The big bitch has backed off for now, but she is shouting at Harper Lee to get up. Harper is trying to get into a sitting position, but it’s clear that it’s an absolute struggle right now. Sierra has managed to turn on her side and curl her legs up. It’s never a good sign when someone gets themselves into the fetal position in the middle of a fight :mjlol:

Stew-O: I think Harper may be coming too. She is literally picking glass out of her hair right now where she went through that windshield. The amount of actual abuse these two have endured during this streetfight has been absolutely insane. Neither woman will ever be the same again after tonight is over with.

Rich Russillo: Harper sees Ximena encouraging her to get up and finish the match off! Harper starts crawling towards Sierra and she lands a punch to her ribs. Sierra barely reacts and Harper takes that as a sign to continue beating on her! There is so much rage and anger inside of Harper Lee, and she seems determined to get it all out right now. She continues to wail away on Sierra, and finally just goes for the pin!

Persephone: The referee can’t even get into position before Sierra is already kicking out! Harper shoots Ximena a look of absolute desperation, but La Diosa is holding back! She wants Harper to finish this on her own! Harper has no other choice but to get to her feet right now. She pulls Sierra up and somehow, painstakingly hoists Sierra across her shoulders! Harper makes her way towards the edge of the stage and I think she is going to throw Sierra off of it!!!!

Stew-O: BUT LOOK! SIERRA REVERSES IT INTO A CRUCIFIX BOMB RIGHT THERE ON THE STAGE AND SHE’S GOT HARPER PINNED! SIERRA IS GOING TO WIN THIS MATCH!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: HARPER LIVES! HARPER LIVES! SHE IS GOING TO CONTINUE FIGHTING TO STAY IN THIS MATCH! 

Stew-O: SIERRA FALLS BACK BECAUSE THAT TOOK SO MUCH OF HER ENERGY! HARPER IS ABLE TO CRAWL ON TOP OF HER AND SHE STARTS PEPPERING SIERRA WITH FOREARMS! SIERRA IS ABLE TO TOSS HARPER TO THE SIDE, THE ADRENALINE KICKING IN ONCE AGAIN, AND ALLOWING HER TO FIGHT BACK! SHE GREETS AN INCOMING HARPER WITH A KICK TO THE GUT AND SIERRA TOSSES HARPER TOWARDS THE EDGE OF THE STAGE! HARPER MANAGES TO KEEP HERSELF FROM FALLING BUT SIERRA COMES FLYING AT HER! SIERRA WITH A RUNNING KNEE!!!!

Persephone: HARPER MOVES! SIERRA HAS TO PUT THE BRAKES ON BUT SHE’S FLAILING HER ARMS, TRYING TO KEEP HER BALANCE! HARPER FROM BEHIND! SHE SNATCHES SIERRA UP AND THERE’S A SPANISH FLY! SPANISH FLY FROM HARPER! BOTH OF THEM FLY THROUGH THE AIR AND COME CRASHING DOWN ONTO A PILE OF SOUND EQUIPMENT!!!!

Rich Russillo: NEITHER WOMAN IS MOVING A MUSCLE! BOTH OF THEM ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF IT NOW! THE REFEREE HAS MADE HIS WAY DOWN TO CHECK ON BOTH COMPETITORS, BUT THEY ARE NOT MOVING! I’M NOT SURE WHAT CAN BE DONE AT THIS POINT!

Stew-O: The referee holds up an arm from each woman and lets them both drop! He’s got no choice but to start the 10-count, and here comes Ximena! She’s not going to let it end like this. She grabs Harper and Sierra and starts to drag them both out of the wreckage!

Persephone: WE STAN A CONSERVATIVE MEXICAN QUEEN WHO WANTS TO KEEP THE MATCH GOING!

Rich Russillo: XIMENA HAS PULLED THEM BOTH BACK ONTO THE RAMP AND IS HEADING FOR THE RING! SHE THROWS SIERRA INSIDE THE RING FIRST, AND HELPS HARPER UP! XIMENA SHAKES HER PARTNER TO GET HER AWAKE BEFORE ROLLING HER BACK INSIDE! HARPER IS SLIGHTLY COHERENT NOW AND SHE QUICKLY CRAWLS OVER TO SIERRA!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Stew-O: HOW?? JUST HOW??? HOW IN THE WORLD IS SIERRA BRADFORD STILL ABLE TO GET HER SHOULDER UP?

Persephone: A pain slut, I guess.

Rich Russillo: This whole season we have seen Sierra Bradford test herself time and time again. Things haven’t always gone in her favor, but she has continued to fight and show herself to be one of the most talented and inspiring people in this entire company. 

Stew-O: Well Harper doesn’t look so inspired. She looks absolutely enraged. She beats Sierra in the back of the head a few times before rolling out of the ring and dropping to the ground. Harper begins to pull out absolutely everything you can imagine! She has a table! She has a ladder! She has a can of gasoline! She’s got a lighter! She throws the ladder and the table in the ring, and she clutches the lighter in her hands! She rolls back inside and cuts Sierra off, who is crawling towards the corner, and she ignites the lighter! 

Persephone: HARPER IS BRINGING THE FLAME DOWN TO SIERRA’S FACE BUT SIERRA WITH KICK AFTER KICK! SHE BEGINS KICKING THE ABSOLUTE SHIT OUT OF HARPER, FORCING HER BACK! THE LIGHTER DROPS FROM HARPER’S HANDS AND SIERRA DIVES FOR IT! SIERRA HAS THE LIGHTER AND AS HARPER GOES TO GRAB HER SIERRA IS ABLE TO BURN HARPER! HARPER SCREAMS AND GRABS HER HAND, HOLDING IT TO HER CHEST AND NOW SIERRA BEGINS TO STAB AT HARPER WITH THE LIGHTER! SHE IS TORTURING HER RIGHT NOW! SIERRA IS CLICKING THE LIGHTER ON AND LEAVING LITTLE BURNS ALL OVER HARPER’S ARMS AND BACK! SIERRA WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK, THAT TAKES HARPER TO THE GROUND, AND SHE IS DOWN ON THE MAT!

Rich Russillo: SIERRA IS DOWN BESIDE HARPER AND SHE JERKS HARPER’S HEAD BACK! SIERRA WRAPS HER ARM AROUND HARPER’S THROAT AND SHE FORCES HARPER’S MOUTH OPEN! SIERRA IS ABOUT TO TAKE HER REVENGE! WE HAVE WATCHED SEVERAL TIMES AS HARPER HAS TRIED TO PRY SIERRA’S TONGUE FROM HER MOUTH! NOW SIERRA IGNITES THE LIGHTER ONCE AGAIN AND SHE SHOVES IT IN HARPER’S MOUTH!

Stew-O: Dear God… you Voltage people are savages…

Persephone: YAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS!! I HAVE WAITED ALL FUCKING NIGHT FOR SOMETHING THIS EXCITING ESPECIALLY AFTER THE DUMB FUCKING CUNT BEAT REX FOR NO REASON! THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: HARPER LEE’S SCREAMS ARE ABSOLUTELY EXCRUCIATING! BLOOD IS OOZING FROM HER MOUTH! SIERRA FINALLY DROPS THE LIGHTER AND LETS HARPER GO! HARPER IS CLAWING AT HER FACE, SCREAMING IN AGONY, WHICH IS NOT GOING TO HELP THE BURNS THAT ARE NO DOUBT IN HER MOUTH RIGHT NOW! SHE CONTINUES TO COUGH UP BLOOD AND CHOKE, AND SIERRA KNOWS THAT THE END IS NEAR! SHE THROWS THE LIGHTER TO THE OUTSIDE AND FORCES HERSELF UP!

Stew-O: SHE BRINGS HARPER UP WITH HER AND IRISH WHIPS HER INTO THE CORNER! HARPER SOMEHOW REMAINS STANDING, BUT SIERRA HAS THE LADDER AND SHE RAMS IT RIGHT INTO HARPER’S MID-SECTION! 

Persephone: SIERRA PLACES THE LADDER IN FRONT OF HARPER AND SHOWING OFF A BURST OF ENERGY… SHE RACES TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING! SIERRA TAKES OFF! HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW INTO THE LADDER! SHE CRUSHES HARPER AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES! SIERRA THROWS THE LADDER TO THE SIDE, DRAGS HARPER OUT OF THE CORNER, AND THERE IT IS!!! ‘SELF DESTRUCTOR’!!! THE BACK BREAKER RACK INTO A KNEE LIFT CONNECTS AND HARPER LEE IS OUT!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Stew-O: HARPER’S FOOT IS POSITIONED UNDER THE ROPES! SIERRA THOUGHT SHE HAD ENOUGH SPACE TO MAKE THE PIN!

Rich Russillo: AND LOOK AT THE EYES OF SIERRA BRADFORD! SHE IS ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED! SHE KNOWS THAT SHE HAD THE MATCH WON RIGHT THERE AND SHE DIDN’T TAKE THE EXTRA SECOND TO DOUBLE CHECK HER RING POSITIONING! SHE PULLS HARPER AWAY FROM THE ROPES AND ONCE AGAIN GOES FOR THE PIN!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

Persephone: HARPER KICKS OUT!

Rich Russillo: SIERRA PUNCHES THE MAT AND LETS OUT A FRUSTRATED CRY! SHE HAS TO FOCUS AND PUT HARPER AWAY! SIERRA FINALLY DRAGS HERSELF UP AND SHE GRABS HARPER TOO! SIERRA IS ATTEMPTING TO SET HER UP FOR ‘CLOUD 9’, WHICH IS HER ULTIMATE FINISHER, BUT HARPER WITH ANOTHER LOW BLOW! SHE DESPERATELY SAVED HERSELF JUST NOW AND SHE CRAWLS OVER TO THE ROPES. SIERRA IS IN OBVIOUS PAIN AND HARPER USES THE ROPES TO PULL HERSELF UP!

Stew-O: SIERRA IS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING AND SHE HAS PULLED HERSELF UP! THESE TWO FORMER FRIENDS LOOK AT ONE ANOTHER AND THERE IS NO LOVE LOST AT ALL! THEY STAGGER TO THE CENTER OF THE RING AND START THROWING HANDS! SIERRA AND HARPER ARE EXCHANGING FOREARMS! IT’S HARPER! IT’S SIERRA! IT’S HARPER! IT’S SIERRA! HARPER! SIERRA! HARPER! SIERRA! SIERRA! SIERRA! SI-

Persephone: BLISTERING HEADBUTT FROM HARPER! THE FORCE OF THAT HEADBUTT KNOCKS BOTH WOMEN TO THE GROUND! HARPER IS THE FIRST TO RECOVER AND SHE GOES RIGHT FOR THE LADDER! SIERRA FOLLOWS SUIT AND NOW BOTH OF THESE IDIOTS ARE PLAYING TUG-OF-WAR! IT IS HARPER WHO GETS CONTROL OF THE LADDER AND SHE SETS IT UP! SHE STARTS TO CLIMB, BUT SIERRA IS HOT ON HER HEELS!

Rich Russillo: BOTH MAKE THEIR WAY UP THE LADDER, TRADING SHOTS AS THEY GO! NEITHER WOMAN WANTS TO LOSE THIS MATCH, AND THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY GIVING IT THEIR ALL! HARPER AND SIERRA COME TO A STOP AT THE TOP, AND IT’S SIERRA WHO HITS HARPER WITH A FOREARM! HARPER FIRES BACK WITH SEVERAL RIGHT HANDS AND SHE GOES TO BOUNCE SIERRA’S FACE OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER! SIERRA BLOCKS AND TRIES TO KNOCK HARPER BACK WITH AN ELBOW, BUT HARPER ANTICIPATED IT!

Stew-O: ‘DIRTY FIREWORKS’!!! THE AVALANCHE SWINGING NECKBREAKER OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER!!!! HOLY SHIT! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MOVE BY HARPER LEE!!

Persephone: XIMENA IS SCREAMING AT HARPER TO PIN SIERRA BUT HARPER HAS ANOTHER IDEA! SHE PULLS HERSELF UP AND KICKS SIERRA ONTO HER STOMACH! SHE DRAGS HER TOWARDS THE LADDER AND PLACES HER FACE DOWN ACROSS THE BOTTOM RUNG OF THE LADDER. HARPER SNATCHES BACK SIERRA’S ARMS AND THERE’S ‘SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR’! THE ARM TRAPPED CURB STOMP TO THE BOTTOM RUNG OF THE LADDER! SIERRA’S MOUTH IS BUSTED OPEN AND BLOOD IS POURING ONTO THE CANVAS! HARPER GRABS HER AND DOES IT AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN! ‘IT’S ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS’ Y’ALL!!!!

Rich Russillo: THE REFEREE INTERVENES AND CALLS FOR THE BELL, PULLING HARPER AWAY!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… HERE IS YOUR WINNER… HARPER LEE!!!!

Stew-O: HARPER LEE WINS THE MATCH BUT SHE SHOVES THE REFEREE OUT OF THE WAY! HARPER’S NOT DONE WITH SIERRA! SHE IS GOING TO END HER CAREER! SHE GRABS THE TABLE AND BEGINS TO SET IT UP!

Persephone: XIMENA IS IN THE RING, AND SHE IS TRYING TO STOP HARPER!

Ximena Velasquez: (off-mic) What are you doing? You won the match. It is over.

Harper Lee: (off-mic) This is not over until I say that it is, and that victory is not enough. I was always going to win, but now she has to suffer.

Rich Russillo: :lupe: HARPER PUSHES XIMENA OUT OF THE WAY AND DROPS TO THE OUTSIDE. SHE COLLECTS THE LIGHTER AND THE GASOLINE, AND SHE BEGINS TO DUMP THE GAS ON THE TABLE :lupe:!

Persephone: :ciampa: Oh my god yes…. YES! SHE IS GOING TO SET THE BITCH ON FIRE!

Stew-O: HARPER SETS THE TABLE ON FIRE AND SHE IS SCREAMING AT XIMENA TO GRAB SIERRA! XIMENA IS SHAKING HER HEAD AND HARPER IS IN ABSOLUTE DISBELIEF!

Harper Lee: (off-mic) What do you mean, no?

Ximena Velasquez: (off-mic) She is done. You won. You had the last word. 

Harper Lee: (off-mic) PICK HER UP AND PUT HER THROUGH THE TABLE!

( Ximena folds her muscular arms across her chest and raises an eyebrow at Harper. )

Ximena Velasquez: (off-mic) No.

Persephone: HARPER LEE JUST SLAPPED LA DIOSA ACROSS THE FACE! XIMENA LOOKS FUCKING PISSED!

Harper Lee: (off-mic) DO WHAT I TOLD YOU TO DO! PICK HER UP AND PUT HER THROUGH THE TABLE. NOW.

Rich Russillo: :lupe: XIMENA IS STARING A HOLE RIGHT AT HARPER, ABSOLUTELY IN DISBELIEF THAT HARPER HAD THE NERVE TO SLAP HER. HARPER CONTINUES TO BERATE XIMENA AND FINALLY XIMENA HAS HAD ENOUGH. SHE GOES FOR SIERRA, WHO STILL HASN’T MOVED AND SHE PICKS HE-

Stew-O: :damn: XIMENA KICKS HARPER IN THE FACE!!! ‘PA’ LA RAZA’!!!! THE WESTERN LARIAT CONNECTS ON HARPER, SENDING HER SPRAWLING ONTO THE MAT! XIMENA QUICKLY REACHES DOWN AND JERKS HARPER UP, RAGDOLLING HER, AND SWITCHING TO ONE HAND! XIMENA LIFTS HARPER UP AND SHE PUTS HER THROUGH THE FLAMING TABLE WITH ‘XV’!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!

( The referee quickly rushes back into the ring with a fire extinguisher and starts to put out the flames licking Harper Lee’s broken body. )

Persephone: :gladbron: THAT WAS AMAZING! AFTER THAT FUCKING MATCH, WITH THAT MUCH CARNAGE… BOTH OF THESE BITCHES END UP DEAD! 

( Ximena Velasquez has turned her attention to Sierra Bradford. She rolls her to the edge of the ring, gets out, and then grabs Sierra, slinging her over shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Ximena carries Sierra to the back while the camera focuses in on Harper who doesn’t look like much of a winner tonight after all. )

(Pain for Pride fades to the Showdown announce table)

Deadprez: Ladies and gentlemen this has been an outstanding evening however, we have now arrived at the main event. A bitter rivalry over the desire to dictate one’s fate. The contradictory paths these two Elitists walk have led us to these final showdown where only one can walk away victorious. Will it be the King in her conquest for immortality or will the curtains fall on an all time career once and for all? 

(The camera fades to the final graphic for Day Two)

(The crowd erupts in cheers at the announcement of tonight’s main event. The camera fades back to the ring where Gina Romano is standing by)

Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING, SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL, IS FOR THE ANSWERS WWWWOOOOORRRRRLLLLDDDDD CCCCHHHAAAAMMMMPPPIIIIOOONNNNSSSSHHHIIIIPPPPP!!!!!

(Cheers erupt throughout the stadium in immense anticipation for the upcoming match)

Gina Romano: **AND IT WILL BE NO DISQUALIFICATIONS!!!**

(The iconic opening to “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin explodes throughout the stadium as the crowd roars with applause. Tonight, there is no fancy entrance. No incredible display, nothing more than the Ace himself standing in the middle of the stage. He soaks in the crowd, the atmosphere of it all for perhaps the last time. Yet with a stoic, determined look on his face, he heads towards the ring)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, THE CHALLENGER! FROM MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, NOW RESIDING IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA!!! WEIGHING IN AT ONE HUNDRED AND NINTY POUNDS!!! HE IS…”THE IMMORTAL ACE”, “THE ASCENDED MASTER”, “THE GREATEST WORLD CHAMPION OF ALL TIME”. HE IS THE “GAWDSLAYER”, “THE UNRIVALLED”, THE “OMNIPOTENT ONE” AND ABOVE ALL ELSE…HE IS THE ACE OF ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING!!! JJJJAAAAMMMMIIIIIIEEEE OOOOOOOOOOOOOO’HHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: Ahead of what might just be his final Pain For Pride match ever, I asked Jamie O’Hara if he has any regrets. He simply has none. For the past seven years, it’s hard to argue that anyone has had an impact on this company as much as he has. The records and the accolades, the amount of victories he has, the way in which he has been a force to be reckoned with, there are near endless ways to speak highly of O’Hara yet one word defines him best: Ace.  Someone who excels at any one thing and I struggle to find anyone since 2014 who has excelled any better than Jamie O’Hara. 

Eve: You keep mentioning that ‘perhaps’ because so much has changed since April. That sense of certainty that hung on every word the Ace spoke back then has slowly withered away, slowly become less and less so. That refusal to flat out say that it’s the end, we can only *assume* It’s the end and nothing more. On Showdown he couldn’t say it, he couldn’t say with that same certainty of what the future holds EXCEPT that tonight he will walk out of Pain For Pride as the Answers World Champion once again, just as he did a year ago.

(Before Jamie enters the ring, he takes a turn and heads towards a corner of the ringside area. There, Jamie’s mother Beverley and Cameron’s mother Carmen sit with Jamie’s song Hathaway. Jamie picks his son up and smiles warmly, giving him a hug and resting him on his chest for a brief moment. He hands his son back to Carmen before entering the ring)

Gavin Kirkland: Becoming a father changes most people. He’s a man who is torn between two worlds, both as attractive as the other and both have a gravitational pull pulling him in both directions. This is someone who for over seven years has accomplished so much in his career, that impact you spoke of Deadprez speaks for itself. We will never see another Jamie O’Hara, we will never see someone have the kind of seven year run that he has had. As hard as it may be to process this, maybe this is an appropriate end for him. 

(Jamie O’Hara settles in the far corner of the ring, resting against the ropes with his attention focused on the stage as “Kashmir” dies out)

I shoot the lights out

Hide ’til it’s bright out

Whoa, just another lonely night

Are you willing to sacrifice your life?

Ahh–

(The broadcast glitches to a still, cutting “Monster” by Kanye West out. After a brief pause, it rewinds back several seconds)

I shoot the lights out

Hide ’til it’s bright out

Whoa, just another lonely night

Are you willing to sacrifice your life?

Ahh–

(Once more the music cuts and the broadcast skips back several seconds)

I shoot the lights out

Hide ’til it’s bright out

Whoa, just another lonely night

Are you willing to sacrifice your life?

Ahh–  

(A third time it cuts but rather than the broadcast skipping back, the broadcast cuts to a black screen. The scene fades to a bleak, concrete room where Kassidy Heart sits. Around her throat is a strap with an orange square at the end. Dressed in a beige jumpsuit, she does little to acknowledge her surroundings. An unidentifiable man paces back and forth. A projector shines across the wall, including Kassidy herself. The images show less desirable moments throughout her career, many Kass would rather ignore. The unidentifiable man walks back and forth in front of the projector, casting his large shadow over Kassidy, who remains unwavering)

Narrator: I want to know, what makes these moments your past? What makes these moments anything but your future? You can boil it down no differently. You lose. You get discarded. You get tossed aside. You get overlooked. Frustrated. Upset. I want to know, what makes the past year any different? What is it that ticks in your mind to have brought you to this point where you feel like it will never be the same again?

(As the projector cuts off, the man points to something offscreen. An orange glow begins to illuminate the room. Kassidy rises out of her seat and the camera follows. Standing before her, a large orange obelisk stands)

Narrator: Walk through there and show me.

(Hesitant at first, Kassidy steps through the portal and enters a familiar place. Pain For Pride 13. She stands on the stage as “Unfuckwithable” blares through the speakers and Sienna Jade celebrates her National Elite victory. After a moment, a referee helps a clearly disorientated Kassidy Heart to the stage, brushing past the present Kassidy Heart)

Narrator: Defeat, no matter how bittersweet you find it or how you find contentment with it, drives people to realise their ambitions. Whether to forget or be pushed in a direction by no other reason but mere progress and growth. But it stings, doesn’t it? Where did it take you?

(A new orange portal emerges to her left and Kassidy, wanting to remove herself from this moment, steps right through. This time she emerges at the 2020 EAW Draft at the EAW Performance Centre. Her former self stands in the ring making a promise that she would become the Answers World Champion, threatening Jamie O’Hara)

Narrator: Hey. How much of that is fulfilled? Not all of it, right? And I know that deep down it bothers you. It wasn’t just becoming the Answers World Champion…it was beating him too, wasn’t it? Let’s continue.

(Once more, a portal opens and Kassidy moves through it. This time she stands on top of the Hell In A Cell structure, looking down at herself and Dr. Bethany Blue falling into the flames below. Kassidy smirks as the unidentifiable man leans over her shoulder)

Narrator: I’m amazed that you survived that. Like, that’s kinda badass. :lupe: 

Narrator: Defeated, yes and that promise made beforehand remained unfulfilled but in this moment you showed everyone just how far you were willing to go in order to achieve everything you desired. A personal victory? A moment to savour? A leap forward in your career? Come on, only a few more now…

(She proceeds to walk through the third orange portal. She emerges the other side with shorter hair and her bandages removed. Instead of a moment from the past, it is an entirely different world. stone pillars shoot up both sides of her, with banners hanging down, as she makes her way down a red carpet. At the very end is a throne with the King of Elite crown resting on top of it. Kassidy plucks the crown from the throne and takes a seat for a brief moment.)

Narrator: Now this is what I was talking about. How Kassidy Heart became King Kass. A victor. Ruler. Conqueror. This is the moment, where your past becomes your past and your future entirely your’s to dictate.

(Kassidy steps away from the throne and begins to head back down from where she came, with the King of Elite crown still resting on her head. The orange portal once again stands and she steps through; this time she walks down an illuminated path, lined with large lights in an otherwise dark void of space. The Answers World Champion is present around her waist and she passes by several bloody bodies lying either side of this runway)

Narrator: Closer and closer you have inched towards that desire, that dream of becoming the greatest. What you feel belongs to you, what you feel entitled to. King. Champion. Yet unfilled, still seeking so much more. However, I can see it. The rise and rise of Kassidy Heart into who she stands here today as. The Champion that you are on the precipice of greatness. So go and seize your destiny, achieve your immortality.

(Finally, Kassidy enters the last portal. As she emerges on the other side of it, the Answers World Championship remains visible around her waist, the metal cast wrapped around her right arm. Her attire has an additional, metallic sleeve that runs up the rest of her right arm with a similar cut design as her cast and she brandishes a large assault rifle in both hands. The orchestral music comes to a sudden halt, as Kassidy raises the weapon and fires it. One by one, the bright lights shining down on her cut out for all but one. The music looping in the background cuts out a swell, as the crowd buzzes. The camera remains fixated on Kassidy who throws the rifle away)

I shoot the lights out

Hide ’til it’s bright out

Whoa, just another lonely night

Are you willing to sacrifice your life?

Ahh  

(Once again “Monster” by Kanye West hits as the camera slowly turns around to show the final portal had led her to Pain For Pride. She stands on the stage in all her glory soaking in the atmosphere of the main event yet never wavering from her overflowing belief of supremacy. For the journey she had taken to come this far was worth it just to be standing in this very moment)

Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT. FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA!!! WEIGHING IN ONE HUNDRED, THIRTY EIGHT AND A HALF POUNDS! SHE IS…”THE MAULER”, “THE CROWN JEWEL”, “QUEEN OF THE ULTRAVIOLENT”, “GAWD’S GREATEST GIFT”!! AND SHE IS….THE REIGNING AND DEFENDING ANSWERS WWWWOOOOORRRRRLLLLDDDDD CCCCHHHAAAAMMMMPPPIIIIOOONNNNSSSSHHHIIIIPPPPP!!!!! KKKKKIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG KKKKKKAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

Eve: THE SOLDIER BORN FROM SYDNEY WALKS TOWARDS HER FATE, WALKS TOWARDS HER DESTINY. THE LONG JOURNEY OF THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS CULMINATES HERE TONIGHT AT PAIN FOR PRIDE. YES, SHE IS THE CHAMPION. YES, SHE STANDS TALL OVER THE REST OF SHOWDOWN, BUT THIS IS WHERE THAT JOURNEY ENDS. WHETHER SHE WILL REMAIN CHAMPION OR NOT WILL BE DECIDED IN THE NEXT FORTY FIVE PLUS MINUTES.

Deadprez: Kassidy Heart becomes the second woman to walk into the main event of Pain For Pride with a World Championship around her waist that isn’t the Universal Women’s Championship or previous women’s division Championship. However she will look to become the first woman to ever successfully win their match. Yet to do just that, she will have her toughest challenge yet. In only her second defense of the Answers World Championship, Kassidy Heart MUST DEFEAT the Ace. Arguably one of the most difficult obstacles to overcome, enough so that it’s worthy of being its own feat.

Gavin Kirkland: This was the match that Kassidy Heart wanted. This is the match that she demanded from Jamie O’Hara back at Grand Rampage. She refused to let him go away, she refused to let him say goodbye on his terms and dragged him back to the world of EAW. No Disqualifications, no matter what The Mauler is, no matter what Kassidy Heart has done throughout her career, she has to answer for everything she has done to Jamie O’Hara and those closest to him over the last two months.

(“Monster” dies down and both competitors prepare themselves for the match ahead. The crowd’s anticipation rises as the referee signals for the bell)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Deadprez: Ladies and gentlemen, one of the most anticipated, bloodied and bitterly personal matches in years is officially underway. We have been waiting for this match for weeks on end, ever since it was first teased all the way back at Grand Rampage. The King, Kassidy Heart challenging the Ace, Jamie O’Hara in what might be his final match and we have finally arrived here tonight having taken twists and turns nobody could have anticipated.

Eve: The tension is rising as both the Champion and the challenger exchange those ice cold, deadly glares at one another. This rivalry as you mentioned Deadprez has become so bitterly personal as their lives beyond simply the ring and Championships have been dragged into it. The pure hatred that exists between both competitors quickly fested into their minds and now it’s not good enough to just ‘beat’ the other, it’s a necessity to all but eradicate them from this business. 

Gavin Kirkland: I truly fear for the health and safety of both of them, even Kassidy despite this heathen’s antics to make this match a reality. No Disqualifications, opens up a dangerous world of possibilities to be exploited completely and utterly by both. The Mauler, with such a lust for destruction and carnage. The Ace, so creative in his use of all elements around him. I don’t think much of this ring is going to be left standing

Deadprez: Neither competitor moving an inch from their respective corners, eyes locked on the other as the temperature rises inside SoFi Stadium and it isn’t the summer heat lingering into the night. Both Champion and challenger, both King and Ace walk into this modern day colosseum bearing the wounds from the hate and disdain from the other. 

Eve: The referee not even motioning for them to begin, allowing both competitors to take their time, approach this match at their own pace but it’s Jamie who takes the first step towards the middle as Kassidy shifts to the right with caution. O’Hara’s step quickens as Kassidy remains focused, as not to misstep and slip up. But feeling the unease of the situation she slides out of the ring.

Deadprez: Wise decision from the Champion. Perhaps it’s the nerve of the bright lights of the main event getting to her but I’m sure she will adjust as this match goes on. This of course isn’t the first time for Jamie O’Hara. He’s thrived under these bright lights for years with this being a staggering fourth main event from seven appearances at the greatest stage in our sport. The mountain that exists for Kassidy Heart cannot be understated but if there’s anyone who is well equipped to handle this, it’s the King herself!

(Slowly Kassidy slides back into the ring as Jamie backs up and allows her to re-enter at her own pace. The grin on his face making it apparent he’s aware that he dictates the pace of the match as it is)

Gavin Kirkland: YOU LOVE TO SEE IT! The Ace is in firm control of this match and not even a single strike has been landed yet! His power !!

Eve: Back to square one with the Champion and Challenger in opposing corners! Not once in these opening minutes have their eyes moved from the other. But now it’s Kassidy who presses O’Hara, moving in but O’Hara doesn’t shift, instead he steps in and meets Kassidy in the center of the ring with a collar and elbow tie up! Jamie gets the advantage with his size and strength transitioning into a side headlock. Kass backs up to the ropes and tries to push Jamie away but Jamie instead maintains the grip and instead slides to the canvas. He rolls Kass over and straight into a pin!

OOONNNEEEE!!!

Deadprez: Kassidy powers out at one and immediately takes the opening to get some distance between herself and O’Hara. And this crowd is certainly enjoying the control the Ace is in to open this match. Experience is absolutely showing it’s hand here. Jamie is already stepping towards the centre of the ring and raises his hand, gesturing to Kassidy to challenge him. The cocky, arrogant smirk of the Ace realising he has the mental advantage at the moment with Kassidy’s hesitation. 

Eve: But these are the bright lights that Kassidy Heart has envisioned herself competing under for years. She bottles that hesitation and steps in. Despite the advantage O’Hara has she doesn’t back down. Their fingers meet in the air as both competitors look to dictate the hold– KASS WITH THE KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION! O’Hara guard dropped a little as his attention was pulled elsewhere and Kassidy might just finally get an upper hand over the Ace.

Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy backs Jamie against the ropes and proceeds to send him racing across the outside of the ring. O’Hara charges back but ducks beneath the swinging arm from Kassidy before bouncing back– THRUSTING SIDE KICK! CATCHES JAMIE FLUSH ON THE JAW. RUNNING BICYCLE KICK! DRIVING O’HARA’S HEAD TOWARDS THE CANVAS BUT THE ACE CATCHES HIMSELF, INSTEAD PUSHING HIMSELF AWAY. The one two combination and the momentum of it sends Jamie tumbling through the ropes and to the outside! I hate to say it but Kassidy might be warming up to the occasion!

Deadprez: KASSIDY BACKS UP AND RACES TOWARDS THE ROPES. SUICIDE DIVE!! NO! O’HARA BACK UP THE APRON MANAGES TO CUT HER OFF WITH A FOREARM TO THE JAW! IT KILLS HER MOMENTUM BEFORE JAMIE DROPS HER THROAT ACROSS THE MIDDLE ROPE.

Eve: Just as Kassidy Heart gets a bit of momentum, it’s dashed away by the Ace. His consistency in reaching this place, the main event of Pain For Pride is evident and he’s in good control of the Champion in the opening of this contest.

Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S MY ACE. DON’T LEAVE ME JAMIE. DON’T LEAVE ME AT ALL. 

Deadprez: Jamie re-enters the ring and begins to stalk his prey. The Champion isn’t in the most ideal of places with her challenger making it impossible to get any distance. Kassidy scrambles to her feet but she’s bailed up in the corner by O’Hara who proceeds to swiftly connect with a backhand chop. It sucks the oxygen from the lungs of the Answers World Champion as O’Hara clutches the wrist and sends Kassidy reeling towards the opposite corner of the ring.

Eve: But Kassidy gets the foot up and stops herself from colliding with the turnbuckle! KASSIDY CUTS JAMIE OFF WITH A BACK ELBOW! It once again halts the momentum of O’Hara who staggers on his feet. It’s the opening Kassidy has been looking for as she ascends to the second rope! And drops the fist down onto the face of O’Hara! Aiming for the forehead where those stitches from the assault several weeks ago. Jamie comes spinning away from the corner, repeatedly tapping his forehead and checking to see if his opponent drew blood but it takes his attention away…

Deadprez: STEP-UP ENZIGURI! THE BOOT OF KASSIDY HEART ABSOLUTELY COLLECTS JAMIE O’HARA ACROSS THE FACE AND SENDS HIM CRASHING TO THE CANVAS IN A HEAP! KASSIDY MEASURED THAT ONE UP AND DELIVERED AN INCREDIBLE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE FACE THAT FLOORS THE ACE COMPLETELY! 

Gavin Kirkland: NO! SHE CAN’T GET BACK INTO THIS! Jamie tries desperately to clear the cobwebs from his head, fighting to get back to his feet but Kassidy swiftly cuts him back down with a Penalty Kick! FUCK that kick cracked throughout SoFi Stadium and might have left a hole in the middle of my Ace’s beautiful, gorgeous, unmatched physique!! Kassidy drops into the cover.

OOONNNEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWOO– 

Eve: Shoulder shot off the canvas, it’s impossible to keep the Ace down over so little. But the grin on Kassidy Heart’s face tells all. The pressure of the Pain For Pride main event is beginning to lift off her shoulders, she’s become acclimated to the occasion. The King of Elite Answers Wrestling, the Answers World Champion in all her glory has arrived.

Deadprez: Kassidy slowly, almost methodically, rises to her feet looking over her opponent who stirs in the ring. Jamie rises to a knee but Kassidy quickly cuts him back down to the canvas with a straight, stiff knee strike! O’Hara’s head snaps back though he tries to rally back. Instead Kassidy takes a step back and immediately comes racing towards O’Hara, collecting him with a sliding knee strike!

Gavin Kirkland: KNEE STRIKES?!?!? THIS IS GIMMICK INFRINGEMENT. SUE HER!!!

Eve: Kassidy Heart’s expertise stretches far and wide, Gavin. We always talk highly of the deadly strikes that exist with Jamie O’Hara’s knees but Kassidy right now is proving that whatever it is Jamie can do, she can do even better. Jamie fires back with a right fist as it connects to the ribs but the King barely lets it bother her as she presses her attack. It backs O’Hara against the ropes once more and Kassidy connects with a forearm right to the jaw! A second and a third immediately follow as she stuns the Ace where he stands! 

Deadprez: Kassidy looks to once again send Jamie racing across the ring but instead she fakes him out and connects with a drop toe hold! O’Hara’s face bounces off the canvas but he barely gets time to cover as Kassidy immediately maintains her offense with a stomp to the back! O’Hara arches right into the clutches of the King who locks the Ace in with a Camel Clutch!!

Eve: The submission applying tremendous pressure to the spine of the challenger as Kassidy sinks deeper and deeper with every passing moment. Every inch just ramps the pain that O’Hara must endure, that he must fight through in order to stay alive in this contest. Almost from the moment she locked it in, the discomfort has been visible on Jamie’s face as he scratches and claws on the canvas to try and keep himself from making this awful predicament even worse. 

(O’Hara’s fingers dig into the ring canvas as he tries to break free. The crowd claps along encouraging him to continue)

Deadprez: The fibers of the ringmat being ripped away as O’Hara’s desperation becomes more and more evident. Kassidy cinches the submission hold in even deeper, almost sitting down across the spine of her challenger and applying all the pressure she can muster! O’Hara is making no progress in trying to crawl away so he kicks and flails his legs around! Looking to try and lock himself up in the ropes to force a break!

Eve: No Disqualifications means Kassidy doesn’t have to break the hold but she will have to if she wants it to be the reason why he retains here tonight!

Gavin Kirkland: WOW! THE ACE IS SO SMART! UNLIKE EVERYONE WHO WOULD BE THINKING TYING HIMSELF UP IN THE ROPES IN THIS MATCH WOULD BE POINTLESS. I LUH HIM. DON’T LEAVE ME.

Deadprez: Exactly right Eve. Jamie pushes off the canvas, trying to push himself and Kassidy back, closer and closer to the ropes! He stretches his legs as far as he possibly can! His toes flirt with the salvation of the bottom rope…AND HE GETS THERE! O’HARA’S FOOT HITS AND STICKS ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! HE RELAXES A LITTLE AS THE REFEREE MAKES THE COUNT.

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! 

(The referee taps Kassidy on the shoulder, motioning that she cannot win the match with Jamie tied up in the ropes. Disgusted, Kassidy releases the hold)

Eve: Jamie immediately slides out of the ring to get some distance between himself and the Champion and clutches that back when he finally does so. As immortal as his career may be, Jamie O’Hara is indeed a very mortal man and Kassidy Heart remains standing in the ring, gloating and motioning O’Hara to get back in, knowing full well she can pick apart and put an end to his career here tonight.

Deadprez: The dominance of the Champion is shining bright. Whatever concerns you had from the opening minutes of this contest are a distant memory as Kassidy Heart stands as proud and confident of her place as any. She drags her boot across the canvas, marking the line for O’Hara to cross and the face of O’Hara tells all at the displeasure that he has in being in this position. Not having the advantage, not dictating the control of this contest. Jamie slowly and cautiously, just like Kassidy earlier in the match, re-enters the ring.

Eve: BUT BOTH OF THEM IMMEDIATELY CLASH! HEART AND O’HARA TRADE LEFT AND RIGHT FISTS! THE JOY OF BEING IN CONTROL BY KASSIDY BEHIND EVERY BLOW. THE DISDAIN FOR THE LACK OF IT BY JAMIE BEHIND EACH OF HIS! AND IT’S THE KING WHO MANAGES TO GET ONE OVER THE ACE. SHE GETS REPEATED SHOTS OFF AS JAMIE TRIES TO COVER UP DESPERATELY! KASS BEGINS TO AIM FOR THE STITCHES, WANTING TO BUST THEM OPEN AND DRAW BLOOD ONCE MORE BUT O’HARA IS SMART ENOUGH TO PROTECT HIMSELF. 

Gavin Kirkland: YES! YES! JAMIE CUTS KASSIDY OFF WITH A KNEE TO THE RIBS! THE POWER OF THE ACE GETTING THROUGH WHEN HE NEEDS IT MOST TO END HER OFFENSE! THE FRAUD RULER TRIES TO REEL AWAY BUT THE ONE TRUE RULER DOESN’T LET THAT HAPPEN! HE DRAGS HER IN AND CONNECTS WITH THE DRAGON SUPLEX! HOLDING THE BRIDGE FOR THE PIN!!!

OOONNNEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Deadprez: AND KASSIDY POWERS OUT! BOTH COMPETITORS SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET AND ONCE AGAIN MEET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING BUT IT’S KASSIDY WHO CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK AS JAMIE ANTICIPATED THE TWO WOULD ONCE MORE THROW PUNCHES BACK AND FORTH. IT ROCKS JAMIE BACK AGAINST THE ROPES BUT HE COMES CHARGING BACK TOWARDS KASSIDY. KASSIDY LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH YET ANOTHER THRUSTING SIDE KICK BUT O’HARA SPINS AWAY. HE TAKES A LEFT TURN AND BOUNCES BACK TO CONNECT WITH THE SLINGBLADE! 

Eve: YOU CAN NEVER COUNT THE ACE OUT AS HE SCRAMBLES QUICKLY TO HIS FEET. ALMOST STAGGERING AND COLLAPSING AS HE RACES TO THE CORNER. HE’S LOOKING TO PUT KASSIDY AWAY HERE AND NOW WITH THE GENKI CANNON! O’HARA’S PEARCHED THOUGH KASSIDY RISES, IT DOESN’T MATTER!!! GGGEEEEENNNKKKKIIIIIII CCCCAAAAANNNNNOOOONNNNNNN!!!! THE DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO CRUSH THE HOPES AND DREAMS OF THE KING!

Deadprez: BUT KASSIDY MANAGES TO DODGE THE INCOMING CALAMITY AND O’HARA ROLLS THROUGH. JAMIE DIGS THE FEET INTO THE CANVAS AND PIVOTS TO CHARGE RIGHT BACK AT KASSIDY—

Eve: AND KASSIDY HEART CLOCKS JAMIE IN THE FACE WITH THE METAL CAST! We knew it was coming, it was a matter of when not if for Kassidy Heart to utilise the deadly weapon wrapped around the formerly broken – and surely still healing – arm. And I think the traditional wrestling aspects of this match are finished; now it’s going to be the bloody, bitter war that we all expected it to be. The King has stepped aside and now it’s The Mauler who finds herself unleashed in front of this capacity crowd.

Deadprez: Jamie stairs up rather dazed from the impact of the metal being met flush on his face. He’s fortunate, extremely fortunate that the cuts of the design didn’t connect with the stitches. We know exactly the kind of damage that it will do here tonight, it’s something that Jamie O’Hara cannot avoid. 

Gavin Kirkland: Please tell me if face won’t end up like Rocky Dennis by the end of this :mjcry: 

Eve: Kassidy realises the perilous situation O’Hara finds himself in and immediately swoops down to maintain the assault. O’Hara tries to cover up, protecting the stitches on his forehead as Kassidy uses the metal cast to strike the neck, the jaw, the chest, anywhere that Jamie O’Hara doesn’t have covered or isn’t trying to cover up. The reality of the metal making every blow significantly more impactful than just a regular shot from any foe, stinging O’Hara and some leaving behind small cuts that draw a trickling amount of blood. 

Deadprez: The mad genius of The Mauler right behind the design of that cast. Not simply something to look pretty or striking, but with the intent to harm and mame each and every opponent that dares stand in the way. You could even call it the Ace Killer of all things considering the damage it has already done to O’Hara and the damage it will surely do here tonight.

Eve: Jamie keeps trying to cover up but Kassidy’s strikes are relentless! A deep gash begins to form on the left side of Jamie’s neck, Kassidy might be literally going for the jugular here! Jamie alters his guard to try and also protect this new wound from getting any worse but all it does is open the forehead up for Kassidy to strike!

(Kassidy hesitates with the cast and instead grins)

Gavin Kirkland: wait…wait…WAIT IS SHE BITING THE FUCKING STITCHES OUT OF HIS HEAD?!? SHE IS. THIS SICK FUCK IS RIPPING THE ACE’S STITCHES OUT OF HIS SKULL WITH HER OWN TEETH. DRAWING BLOOD FROM THE FOREHEAD OF O’HARA WITH EACH STITCH THAT POPS. I FEEL SICK

Deadprez: THE TACTICS OF THE MAULER MIGHT BE INCREDIBLY VILE AND DISGUSTING TO SOME BUT THEY GET THE JOB DONE. RIGHT NOW HE’S FORCING BLOOD TO DRAIN FROM THE HEAD OF HER CHALLENGER IN MORE WAYS THAN SIMPLY BASHING THE SKULL IN WITH THE METAL CAST AS SHE HAS DONE PREVIOUSLY ON SHOWDOWN. THE MANY FACETS OF KASSIDY HEART ARE BEING PUT ON DISPLAY BEFORE THE WORLD HERE TONIGHT.

Eve: KASSIDY DRAGS JAMIE BACK TO HIS FEET AND LEAVES HIM TO STAND ON HIS OWN TWO FEET. SHE BACKS UP INTO THE CORNER, A WICKED GRIN ON HER FACE LINING O’HARA UP AS JAMIE, MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE GASH ON HIS NECK AND THE BLOOD TRICKLING DOWN HIS FOREHEAD, SLOWLY TURNS AROUND…

Deadprez: SSSSPPPPEEEEAAAARRRRRR!!!! KASSIDY HEART CUTS JAMIE O’HARA IN HALF WITH A DEVASTATING SPEAR, A HOMAGE TO HER HUSBAND, THE SAME MOVE THAT ENDED JAMIE O’HARA’S CHAMPIONSHIP ASPIRATIONS BACK AT PAIN FOR PRIDE TWELVE TWO YEARS AGO. SHE MAKES THE COVER, COULD THIS BE IT?!?

OOONNNEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!! TTTTTHHHHRRRREEEEEE–

Deadprez: THE ACE KICKS OUT BEFORE THE COUNT OF THREE! It was a rough first night of Pain For Pride for the Adams family but Kassidy hopes to at least salvage it and bring the Answers World Championship home. I’m sure she would absolutely love to put Jamie O’Hara away paying respect to her husband but that’s not something that’s promised. The Ace is going to keep fighting no matter what she unleashes. 

Gavin Kirkland: Absolutely! With his son watching at ringside, Jamie O’Hara will refuse to let Kassidy Heart beat him here tonight. The will of the Ace is undeniable regardless of the situation. He’s fought back against worse before; the Ace always wins is a tale that defines his legacy.

Eve: All good things must come to an end and so far tonight Kassidy has dominated O’Hara for all but the opening minutes of this match. She is proving herself to be more than capable of standing toe to toe with some of the very best to ever do it in the main event of Pain For Pride!

Deadprez: Kassidy once again assists Jamie back to his feet and backs him into the corner. Stiff right punches trying to aim perfectly for the stitches across the skull, trying to utilise her knuckles to break the skin open more and more. Each blow rocks Jamie as he barely seems to keep it together as it is. Kass takes a step back and turns Jamie around. She wraps the arms around the waist of her challenger and lifts him up! KASSIDY DROPS JAMIE WITH THE GERMAN AND CONNECTS WITH ONE! BUT SHE MAINTAINS CONTROL OF THE WAIST AND DRAGS JAMIE BACK TO HIS FEET– A SECOND GERMAN SUPLEX! THE KASSPLODER PLEX IN FULL SWING AS SHE LOOKS FOR A THIRD GERMAN SUPLEX! SHE HOISTS JAMIE O’HARA UP AND OVER–

Deadprez: BUT JAMIE FLIPS OUT OF IT AND LANDS ON HIS FEET! KASS DOESN’T REALISE IT, JAMIE IS BARELY ABLE TO STAND UNDER HIS OWN STRENGTH. KASSIDY TURNS AND JAMIE ALMOST RIPS HER HEAD OFF WITH A DEVASTATING LARIAT!!!! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN! BOTH CHAMPION AND CHALLENGER ARE DOWN! THE CROWD RISES TO APPRECIATE THE DISPLAY OF BRILLIANT EXPERTISE BOTH COMPETITORS ARE SHOWING HERE TONIGHT!

Gavin Kirkland: The wise veteran, O’Hara, takes the opportunity and rolls away from Kassidy and once again slides out of the ring. Trying to keep his distance once again and even I have to applaud Kassidy for not just getting the advantage over Jamie here but maintaining it as she has for so long. Jamie might have halted that offense for a moment but that’s all it is, a brief moment. The Mauler doesn’t particularly favour the idea of her prey getting any time to recuperate as she’s already back to her feet. She slides out of the ring and immediately makes a line right for her challenger!

Eve: But Jamie sees it coming and immediately connects with a standing Tiger Knee! Flush beneath the jaw of Kassidy Heart who reels back, maintaining her vertical base as O’Hara barely remains on his– SPEAR! ANOTHER SPEAR FROM KASSIDY CUTS O’HARA BACK DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA! BUT SHE ISN’T DONE THERE! KASSIDY ROLLS BACK INTO THE RING AND PATIENTLY WAITS FOR O’HARA TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET. THE POISE, THE FOCUS, THE INTENSITY IN THE FACE OF THE CHAMPION GLARING AT WHERE HER OPPONENT WILL RISE UP. JAMIE USES THE RING APRON TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET AS KASSIDY RACES TOWARDS THE ROPES…

Deadprez: TOPE CON HILO!!! DIVING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND KASSIDY COMES CRASHING DOWN ON THE CHALLENGER. MUCH TO THE DISMAY OF THE CROWD AND SURELY THE WORLD, KASSIDY STANDS TALL AND GLOATS PROUDLY, THE KING REFUSED TO STAY DOWN, O’HARA’S DESPERATE MOMENT WAS FOR NOTHING. THIS IS KING KASS’ NIGHT, THIS IS KASSIDY HEART’S TIME TO SHINE BEFORE THE WORLD. 

(As Kassidy celebrates, her eyes lock onto Hathaway and his grandparents at ringside. Concerned, Carmen cradles Hathaway away from Kassidy as Beverley steps in)

Eve: Come on now, Kassidy. You’ve already done enough to terrorise this family for the sake of getting your match with Jamie here tonight. Leave them alone, they’re just here trying to show their support. 

Kassidy Heart: Don’t worry Brataway, your daddy will be able to spend all the time in the world with you once I’m done killing his legacy. 

Gavin Kirkland: BRATAWAY?!?!? HOW FUCKING DARE THIS HEATHEN INSULT THE FUTURE ACE OF THIS COMPANY, MY PRINCE THAT IS PROMISED–

(**SLAP**)

Gavin Kirkland: YESSSS!!! BEVERLEY O’HARA JUST SLAPPED THE DISRESPECT OUT OF THE MOUTH OF KASSIDY HEART. WHAT A QUEEEEN!!!!

Deadprez: KASSIDY HEART IS FURIOUS. SHE CLENCHES HER FIST AND RAISES IT– BUT FROM BEHIND!! JAMIE O’HARA CLUTCHES THE WRIST AND SPINS HER AROUND!!! STARDUST BREAKER!!!!! NO! KASSIDY DUCKS AND LOOKS TO ESCAPE A FATHER’S FURY BUT O’HARA CATCHES HER BY THE TIGHTS AND PULLS HER BACK! HIGH ANGLE GERMAN SUPLEX ONTO THE RINGSIDE BARRICADE! KASSIDY GOES NECK FIRST ONTO THE UNCOMPROMISING EDGE OF THE BARRICADE.

Eve: INVOLVE YOURSELF WITH SOMEONE’S FAMILY AND FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS. THIS HAS LIT THE SAME FIRE UNDER O’HARA THAT LED TO KASSIDY’S INJURY AT BATTLE OF EGYPT. SHE HAS BEEN IN COMPLETE CONTROL FOR SO LONG THAT HER ARROGANCE GOT THE BETTER OF HER. I DON’T ENVY THE POSITION SHE’S IN RIGHT NOW.

Deadprez: Kassidy scrambling to get away from that corner of the ringside area as Jamie takes a moment to kiss his baby boy on the head. He turns his attention back to Kass and delivers a swift kick to the ribs! Kassidy immediately clutches them, gasping for breath as O’Hara simply follows it up with another kick, this time to the unprotected spine. The Ace is just toying with Kassidy as she tries to desperately keep some distance between the two. 

Gavin Kirkland: The brilliant mind of the Ace spins as his focus turns to our announce desk. O’Hara rips the Pain For Pride themed hood off and promptly hurls it away, almost sending it tumbling into Kassidy. 

(Jamie motions for the Showdown announce team to clear the desk of any valuables)

Gavin Kirkland: What a nice man. An outstanding member of this company :mjgrin: 

Eve: You say that but I’m sure the Ace has some evil intentions in mind for Kassidy Heart. Jamie removes the monitors and clears the desk of any small lights, capables and papers that remained. Hurling them to the ground, Kassidy barely manages to avoid being clipped by the monitors and trash that O’Hara has removed. Jamie goes to step up onto the table– 

Deadprez: BUT KASSIDY STRIKES THE BACK OF THE KNEE WITH ONE OF THE MONITORS! O’HARA’S LEGS BUCKLE AS THE METAL FRAME OF THE MONITOR COLLIDES WITH THE KNEE! KASS’ DESPERATION PAYS OFF AS JAMIE SLUMPS AGAINST THE TABLE. SHE GRABS HER CHALLENGER BY THE HEAD AND PROCEEDS TO BASH HIS SKULL AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE TABLE! OVER AND OVER AGAIN, NOT EVEN TAKING A MOMENT TO HESITATE AND IT’S THERE THAT THE BLOOD NOW BEGINS TO FLOW PROFUSELY DOWN THE FACE OF THE ACE AND DOWN THE FRONT OF OUR DESK. 

Gavin Kirkland: …his beautiful face…how dare she…

Eve: THE CHAMPION DEFINITELY ISN’T GOING TO SLIP UP AGAIN HERE. SHE DRAGS O’HARA BACK TO HIS FEET AND ROLLS HIM ONTO THE TABLE BEFORE FOLLOWING LIKEWISE. KASSIDY ASSISTS JAMIE BACK TO HIS FEET, BUT I DON’T THINK THE ACE CAN SEE THROUGH THAT CRIMSON MASK. KASSIDY STEADIES O’HARA UPRIGHT BEFORE DROPPING HIM UNDER– STARGAZING!!! THE INVERTED DDT TO POSSIBLY END THE CHALLENGER’S CONQUEST TO LEAVE ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING AS THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION.

Gavin Kirkland: NO! JAMIE FIRES AWAY AND CLOBBERS KASSIDY IN THE FACE WITH A STRAIGHT FIST! KASSIDY TRIES TO KEEP GRIP ON O’HARA, BUT O’HARA RETLIATES WITH ANOTHER SHOT. JAMIE MANAGES TO BREAK FREE AND IMMEDIATELY HOIST KASSIDY ONTO HIS SHOULDER! HE MIGHT DUMP HER INTO THE DYNASTY ANNOUNCE DESK!! HOW ON EARTH IS HE GETTING THIS STRENGTH?!? THE BLOOD HE’S LOSING AND THE BEATING HIS HEAD TOOK?!? 

Eve: KASSIDY TRIES TO FIGHT OUT OF IT, DRIVING THE FIST INTO THE WOUND! O’HARA WAVERS AND IT ALLOWS KASSIDY TO PUSH AWAY, LOOKING TO ESCAPE BUT– BUT O’HARA GRABS HER AND PULLS HER BACK IN. BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX…INTO A PILEDRIVER THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! VISUAL IDENTITY SENDS KASSIDY HEAR HEAD FIRST TO THE FLOOR BELOW!!! KASSIDY HEART AND JAMIE O’HARA ARE SPRAWLED OUT AT THE RINGSIDE AREA SURROUNDED BY THEIR CARNAGE. 

(The crowd rises to applaud both competitors as they lay still on the ground for a moment. The official steps in to check on both of them, O’Hara’s blood seems to have stopped flowing for the moment as Kassidy clutches her neck)

Deadprez: It can’t be understated the lengths these two will go to in order to win this match here tonight. It’s about protecting one legacy and solidifying another. It’s about the quest for immortality, the desire to leave a mark on this company that will never fade away. The blood that has been spilled already, the blood that is to be spilled yet to come, the bones that will surely be broken, all the sacrifices that these two are willing to make. For Kassidy Heart, to say she was able to defeat Jamie O’Hara, just like her husband has done and just like Impact. For Jamie O’Hara, it’s to simply walk away having one final victory, one last moment as World Champion.

Eve: So much hangs in the balance in this very moment for both these two Elitists, two of the very best in the world today. And despite the bloody mess on his face it’s Jamie who rises to his feet first. Wobbly and a little unstable, he drags Kassidy to her feet and proceeds to throw her back into the ring. Though…he’s not following…

(Jamie proceeds to drop to his knees and look underneath the ring apron. After a brief moment, he pokes his head out with a wild, cocky grin on his face. Slowly he rises to his feet, staring down Kassidy Heart who is only just starting to stir in the ring. In his hands is…)

Deadprez: IS…IS THAT A METAL CUTTER? IT IS. JAMIE O’HARA HAD AN ACE UP HIS SLEEVE WHEN IT CAME TO DEALING WITH KASSIDY AND HER CAST, STASHING A METAL CUTTER BENEATH THE RING.

Eve: JAMIE SLIDES INTO THE RING AND BEGINS TO SLOWLY APPROACH KASSIDY. KASS TRIES TO GET AWAY BUT O’HARA RACES IN AND CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING KNEE!!! STRAIGHT TO THE FACE OF KASSIDY!

Gavin Kirkland: THAT JUST MIGHT HAVE KNOCKED HER LIGHTS OUT BUT O’HARA ISN’T FOCUSED ON THE PIN. NO, HE WANTS TO REMOVE THAT CAST AND PREVENT IT FROM COMING BACK TO BITE HIM LATER IN THE MATCH! THE CROWD’S ELATION SAYS IT ALL AS O’HARA SWITCHES IT ON AND THAT BLADE QUICKLY BLURS!

Deadprez: JAMIE BEGINS SLICING THROUGH THAT CAST! BIT BY BIT THE CAST PARTS LIKE THE RED SEA EXPOSING THE SKIN BENEATH. THE BEAUTIFUL CAST KASSIDY HAS WORN FOR THE LAST MONTH, THIS WEAPON SHE CRAFTED FOR THE INTENTIONS OF DEVASTATING JAMIE O’HARA IS BEING REDUCED TO ABSOLUTE NOTHING BEFORE OUR VERY EYES. 

Eve: THAT GLARING WEAKNESS WAS MADE APPARENT ON SHOWDOWN WHEN SHE CAVED THE SKULL OF JALYN GARCIA IN WITH THOSE DEADLY BLOWS YET THE CAST EVENTUALLY STARTED TO DENT. O’HARA, WITNESSING EVERYTHING UNFOLD BEFORE HIS EYES, FINDING A SOLUTION TO RENDER THIS WEAPON OBSOLETE.

Deadprez: KASSIDY TRIES TO FIGHT BACK BUT O’HARA DIGS THE CUTTER IN A LITTLE DEEPER, CLIPPING THE SKIN OF KASSIDY. THE STING OF FLESH BEING SCRAPPED BY THE CUTTER IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE KASSIDY TO RELENT AS O’HARA…O’HARA…O’HARA CUTS THROUGH THE CAST COMPLETELY!!! THE HEALING ARM OF KING KASS IS EXPOSED COMPLETELY JUST A MONTH AFTER IT WAS BROKEN BY THE ACE!!

Jamie O’Hara: Fuck this cosplay bullshit. :cmon:

(O’Hara hurls the scrap metal out of the ring as Kassidy quickly realises the removal of the cast, the air circulating the stadium felt on the freshly exposed arm)

Gavin Kirkland: I CAN’T IMAGINE IT WOULD BE COMPLETELY HEALED EITHER. WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS SOMEONE LIKE KASSIDY IS WITH A WEAPON ON PERMANENTLY, BUT NOW SHE’S PREY WITH A TARGET EXPOSED FOR ONE OF THE LAST PEOPLE YOU WANT TO BE IN THIS POSITION AGAINST.

Deadprez: AND O’HARA IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO STOMP AWAY AT THE ARM. THE UNPROTECTED ARM OF KASSIDY HEART BEING KICKED AND STOMPED AND TREATED ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT ANY MERCY, WITHOUT CARE, WITHOUT ANY RESPECT. KASSIDY TRIES TO COVER UP BUT O’HARA DOESN’T LET HER DO SO. HE INSTEAD TAKES THE ARM AND DRIVES IT DOWN TO THE CANVAS! 

Eve: Jamie O’Hara wants to make Kassidy regret every decision she has made to bring us to where we are today. He wants to make her regret ever challenging him back at Grand Rampage. His chance to walk away was denied, his ‘perfect’ story now considered imperfect all thanks to the Answers World Champion!

Deadprez: The Ace’s attention shifts to the corner as he begins to untie the padding on the turnbuckles. His intent is evident that he will strip this ring clean of any protective surface if it means he will be able to dish out further torment on the Answers World Championship. All three turnbuckles exposed as he turns– KASSIDY TRIES TO STRIKE O’HARA WITH A CLOSED FIST BUT O’HARA CATCHES IT! 

Eve: The Champion was hoping to seize the moment and get back on top of this contest but the man with the consistent presence in the main event spot of Pain For Pride was well aware. O’Hara shakes his head before collecting Kassidy with a knee to the ribs! A STIFF knee strike that forces Kassidy to barrel over, gasping for breath but Jamie doesn’t stop there! HE TAKES THE RIGHT ARM OF KASSIDY, DRAGGING HER BACK UPRIGHT AND DRIVES IT DOWN ONTO THE STEEL OF THE TURNBUCKLE! ONCE! TWICE! THREE TIMES! NO MATTER HOW SMALL THAT SURFACE MAY BE, IT’S UNFORGIVING STEEL MEETING A BONE THAT’S STILL HEALING!

Gavin Kirkland: THE KING CAN ONLY ENDURE SO MUCH BEFORE IT BECOMES UNSUSTAINABLE FOR HER TO CONTINUE! JAMIE DRAGS HER TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING, SHE’S BARELY ABLE TO FIGHT BACK AS ALL O’HARA HAS TO DO IS CLENCH THE RIGHT ARM TIGHT FOR HER TO GIVE UP. O’HARA HOOKS HER IN AND DROPS HER DOWN WITH A SINGLE UNDERHOOK BRAINBUSTER! O’HARA INTO THE COVER, HOOKS BOTH LEGS!!!

OOONNNEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!! TTTTTHHHHRRRREEEEEE–

Deadprez: THE CHAMPION STAYS ALIVE, SHOOTING HER SHOULDER UP OFF THE CANVAS! KASSIDY FINDING THE HEART TO CONTINUE DESPITE WHAT JAMIE O’HARA HAS PUT HER THROUGH.

Eve: DROPPED ON HER HEAD ON THE OUTSIDE, THAT PROTECTIVE CAST REMOVED, ENDURING THAT BONE’S HEALTH BEING TESTED. KASSIDY IS ABSOLUTELY PROVING HER CREDENTIALS AND HER CLAIMS TO BEING ONE OF THE VERY BEST TODAY HERE TONIGHT AT PAIN FOR PRIDE.

Gavin Kirkland: Even I have to swallow my pride and love for the Ace to admit that she has lasted longer than I expected. When this match turned against she continued to dig deep and has shown that same resilience that got her to this point, to this exact match under the brightest lights despite all the setbacks in her career…

(Jamie rises to his feet and runs a finger across the throat signalling the end)

Gavin Kirkland: BUT THAT POINT AND THAT EXACT MATCH IS AGAINST THE BEST WRESTLER IN THE WORLD TODAY. THE ACE OF ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING AND HE’S GOING TO ONCE AGAIN CLAIM HIS THRONE AS CHAMPION ONCE AGAIN :blessed:

Deadprez: And this seems to be the moment that it all comes crashing down for Kassidy Heart! O’Hara forces her up to her knees and Kassidy shows little signs that she’s aware of her surroundings. Jamie backs away, slowly measuring his opponent with the kneepad rolled down. An In Excelsis like a fucking bullet to the brain will be the very end of the Answers World Championship reign for Kassidy Heart. THE ACE CHARGES TOWARDS THE KING! IN EXCELSISSSS!!!

Eve: KASSIDY REVERSES IT! SHE TAKES HIM BY SURPRISE AND TAKES O’HARA DOWN WITH THE TORNADO DOUBLE ARM LEG SCISSORS!!! LOOKING TO LOCK IN ‘THE LOUIS VUITTON OF WRESTLING MOVES’! BUT JAMIE QUICKLY TRIES TO FIGHT OUT OF IT! KASS CAN’T LOCK THE OTHER ARM AND O’HARA USES IT TO DELIVER THUMPING BLOWS TO THE TEMPLE! KASSIDY’S HISTORY WITH CONCUSSIONS ARE WELL DOCUMENTED AND IT’S ENOUGH FOR THE ACE TO ESCAPE!

Deadprez: ALMOST CAUGHT IN A POSITION THAT WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY SPELT THE END OF THE CHALLENGER’S DESIRES! HE STAGGERS TO THE CORNER HOPING TO GET AWA– RAPTURE! RAPTURE! RAPTURE! THE HELLUVA KICK ALMOST PUNT’S JAMIE O’HARA’S HEAD INTO THE CROWD AS HE SLUMPS TO THE CANVAS! KASSIDY COVERS!!!

OOONNNEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!! TTTTTHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: O’HARA’S ALIVE! O’HARA’S ALIVE! IT WASN’T ENOUGH TO PUT HIM DOWN AND WE ALL BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF!

Eve: Kass almost caught him and the hands running through the hair I’m sure is less frustration and more composure. O’Hara clutches his jaw on the ground while trying to get some air back into the lungs as Kassidy makes the most of the pause in action. She’s evened the odds if only for a brief moment as it is and one might say the tide tips in her favour.

Deadprez: But Eve, she doesn’t press. Instead both King and Ace meet at the center of the ring, staring down the other and jawing back and forth words that I don’t think are kind nor appropriate to say over the air. O’Hara motions for Kass to strike first, offering a free strike to the neck where the wound opened earlier has dried. Kassidy almost strikes but realises it’s with the injured right arm– instead she connects with the left forearm to the other side of O’Hara’s neck! The Ace almost baits her into making a mistake but O’Hara fires back immediately with an uppercut! Driving his bicep into the jaw of Kassidy Heart and it causes her to stumble for just a brief moment.

Eve: It’s a test of will to survive the best shot the other has at this point. Jamie once again motions for Kassidy to hit him, almost putting his arms behind his back to make it more insulting. Kassidy won’t waste the opportunity to strike and connects once more with the left forearm! In a near instant O’Hara responds with a dull thud of an uppercut! KASSIDY WITH THE FOREARM! O’HARA WITH THE UPPERCUT! KASSIDY! JAMIE! KASSIDY! JAMIE! KASSIDY! JAMIE!

Deadprez: THE FOREARMS AND UPPERCUTS GIVE WAY TO JUST SIMPLE PUNCHES STRIKING THE OTHER WHEREVER THEY CAN AROUND THE FACE AND HEAD. WILD SWINGS LOOKING TO DO AS MUCH DAMAGE AS POSSIBLE. AND IT’S KASSIDY THIS TIME WHO GETS THE ADVANTAGE OVER O’HARA! SHE PUTS HIM ON THE BACK FOOT AND DRIVES HIM INTO THE CORNER. 

Eve: O’HARA’S TRAPPED AGAINST THE SAME EXPOSED STEEL HE THREATENED TO BREAK THE ARM OF HIS OPPONENT OVER. KASSIDY GRABS THE SKULL OF O’HARA AND DRIVES THE BACK OF IT INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! ONCE! TWICE! THREE TIMES! O’HARA’S TRYING DESPERATELY TO COVER THE BACK OF HIS HEAD UP! AND HE DOES! THANKFULLY FOR HIS SAKE HE DOES! THE FINGERS BEING TRAPPED BETWEEN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AND THE TURNBUCKLE MAKE ALLOWS O’HARA TO RECOMPOSE HIMSELF—

**THUDD**

Deadprez: :damn: O’HARA JUST DROPPED KASSIDY FACE FIRST INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE!!! HER HEAD VIOLENTLY BOUNCES OFF IT AGAIN AND IMMEDIATELY IT CUTS HER RIGHT OPEN! THE BLOODIED CORNER OF THE RING LOOKS MORE LIKE A CRIME SCENE. KASSIDY SLUMPS TO THE CANVAS, OH BOY, THAT MIGHT BE IT FOR HER!!

Eve: JAMIE REELS AWAY BARELY ON HIS OWN FEET AND REALISES THE BLOOD NOW FROM THE BACK OF HIS HEAD. HE’S BEEN CUT OPEN SO MUCH IN THIS MATCH, IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS AND YET HE’S STILL STANDING ON HIS FEET. HE SHAKES HIS HEAD AND EVEN HERE I’VE GOT A FEELING HE’S FED UP WITH THE CHALLENGE THAT KASSIDY HEART HAS PRESENTED.

Deadprez: HE IS, EVE! O’HARA STEPS OVER TO KASSIDY’S SLUMPED BODY AND DRAGS HER TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH BOTH WRISTS TIGHTLY GRASPED! STRAIGHT INTO STARDUST FOREVER! THE REPEATED KNEE RIGHT TO THE FACE OF KING KASS! KASS’ HEAD SNAPPING BACKWARDS, ROCKING FORWARDS! FUCK. A YEAR AGO HE USED THIS TO SLAY A GAWD AND NOW HE’S ON THE VERGE OF DEFEATING A KING! JAMIE’S KNEEPAD BECOMING STAINED WITH THE BLOOD OF KING KASS AS EACH KNEE MAKES THAT CRIMSON MASK JUST A LITTLE THICKER.

Gavin Kirkland: THREE. FOUR. FIVE. SIX. SEVEN. EIGHT. NINE. TEN. KNEE AFTER KNEE AFTER KNEE. THIS WAR HAS BEEN DEEPLY PERSONAL SINCE JUST ABOUT THE BEGINNING AND NOW DESTINY HAS ARRIVED FOR KASSIDY HEART. THIS MOMENT, HELPLESS IN THE CLUTCHES OF THE ACE, THAT OF HER OWN DEMISE.

Eve: BUT KING KASS IS REFUSING TO SUBMIT. SHE REFUSES TO SURRENDER. KASSIDY SNAPS HER HEAD BACK AT O’HARA AFTER EACH KNEE, HER EYES GLARING RIGHT AT THE ACE, HER EYES DEMANDING THAT HE KEEP TRYING WITH THE STARDUST FOREVER BUT WILL REFUSE TO GO DOWN. BUT O’HARA….he…he’s…

(Instead, Jamie responds with a wicked, evil grin)

Deadprez: Wait…what’s he doing?!?! HE’S TAKING THE CAST-LESS RIGHT ARM OF KASS AND PLANTS IT ON THE CANVAS! NO! NO! HE’S DRIVING THE KNEE RIGHT INTO THE FOREARM OF KING KASS! BONE CRUSHING BONE AND KASSIDY CAN’T HELP BUT CRY OUT IN PAIN AS O’HARA IS JUST RELENTLESS, A CRAZED LOOK IN HIS EYES! KNEE AFTER KNEE, SICKENING, HEARTBREAKING YELP AFTER SICKENING, HEARTBREAKING YELP FROM KASSIDY.

Eve: THE ARM BEING TESTED. THE HEALTH OF THOSE BONES TAKING AN UNHOLY BEATING AS O’HARA UNLEASHES ENDLESS KNEE STRIKES. KASSIDY TRYING TO KEEP HERSELF TOGETHER AS JAMIE NOW GRINDS THE KNEE INTO THE ARM, HE TAKES THE HAND OF KASS AND…FUCK…IS HE TRYING TO BEND THE ARM AROUND THE KNEE?!?!? HE’S TRYING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO WRAP THE ARM AROUND THE KNEE IN AN UNNATURAL MANNER.

Deadprez: HE MIGHT JUST RIP KING KASS’ FOREARM IN TWO AT THIS RATE AS KASSIDY TRIES DESPERATELY TO FIGHT OUT OF IT. KASS RACES UP WITH THE FREE ARM AND BEGINS TO SCRATCH AND CLAW AT O’HARA. HIS ARMS BEARING VISIBLE SCRATCH MARKS AS KASS BEGINS RAKING AT THE FACE, AT THE EYES OF O’HARA! SURVIVAL INSTINCTS OF THE CHAMPION KICKING IN, AS THEY ABSOLUTELY MUST,  AND HER NAILS DIG INTO THE EYES OF O’HARA!! IT’S KASSIDY NOW HAVING TO DEPLOY THE SAME DESPERATE MEASURES THAT JALYN USED A WEEK AGO.

Eve: AND SHE MANAGES TO GET HIM AWAY! O’HARA CLUTCHES THE EYES AND REELS AWAY AS KING KASS ROLLS OUT, IMMEDIATELY HOLDING HER ARM. THROUGH HER CRIMSON MASK SHE TRIES TO GET TO THE CORNER AND AWAY FROM HER CHALLENG–

Gavin Kirkland: IN EXCELSIS!!!!! OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! A RUNNING KNEE RIGHT TO THE BACK OF THE SKULL, AN EXECUTION LIKE A GUILLOTINE FALLING ON THE BACK OF THE KING’S NECK AND IT SENDS KING KASS HURDLING INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLES!!!

Deadprez: HER HEAD SNAPS BACK ON CONTACT WITH THE STEEL AND SHE MIGHT BE OUT COLD AND MIGHT HAVE SUFFERED YET ANOTHER CONCUSSION IN HER CAREER. JAMIE O’HARA MIGHT HAVE JUST KILLED THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION BEFORE OUR VERY EYES! O’HARA COLLAPSES ON TOP FOR A PIN, HE’S GIVEN IT EVERYTHING HE HAS!!!!

OOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!! TTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

…

Deadprez: KASSIDY ISN’T MOVING AN INCH.

…

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

…

…

Deadprez: JAMIE O’HARA IS ONCE AGAIN THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! THE ACE REIGNS!!!! 

….

….

….

….

….

(The camera cuts to show the shoulder of Kassidy Heart barely an inch off the canvas. It’s enough for the referee to stop the count)

Eve: HOW– HOW IS KASSIDY HEART STILL IN THIS?!?! HOW DID SHE MANAGE TO EVEN LIFT HER SHOULDER UP THE INCH, THE MERE INCH SHE COULD TO KEEP THIS MATCH GOING? THE WILL AND DESIRE TO LEAVE SOFI STADIUM STILL THE CHAIN ON FULL DISPLAY FROM HEART. SHE TOOK THE VERY BEST THAT JAMIE O’HARA HAS TO OFFER, THE VERY THING THAT ALMOST WON HIM THIS VERY TITLE TWO YEARS AGO, THAT WON HIM THIS TITLE LAST YEAR IN ONE OF THE GREATEST MAIN EVENTS IN THIS EVENT’S HISTORY. SHE TOOK THE BRUNT OF IT AND SURVIVED.

Gavin Kirkland: IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WILL KILL THIS WOMAN? PLEASE? SOMEONE? WE NEED AN ANSWER BECAUSE I’M AT A LOSS FOR WHAT JAMIE O’HARA CAN DO NEXT TO PUT HER DOWN FOR GOOD.

(O’Hara sits up, frustrated and confused. He races options through his head but only grows more bothered by the situation at hand)

Deadprez: How often have we seen this? Out on his feet exhausted, drenched in his own blood and being unable to put an opponent away? Flashbacks to Pain For Pride 11 where this very moment unfolded, the move that won him the World Heavyweight Championship, that got him to an unbelievable three hundred and twenty three day record, failed him against Impact. Is this bound to meet the same unfortunate fate?

Gavin Kirkland: I would rather not think about such a possibility, Deadprez. HOW DARE YOU put ideas like that into people’s minds?

Eve: But I think Jamie O’Hara might have just had an idea to avoid that same outcome. He rolls outside the ring and once again takes a look beneath the ring apron. Searching and searching…and he pulls out a…chain?!?

(O’Hara slides the chain into the ring and slides in after it. He approaches Kassidy who can barely keep herself up off the canvas. Much like Battle of Egypt, O’Hara kneels down and holds Kassidy’s head up, staring right into her eyes with a wide, wide smirk peaking through the blood)

Jamie O’Hara: I’m going to rip that fucking arm from your fucking body. 

Deadprez: NO NO! O’HARA WRAPS THE CHAIN AROUND THE RIGHT ARM AND DRAGS KASSIDY TOWARDS THE ROPES. I HATE THE LOOK IN HIS EYES, THAT DESIRE TO INFLICT SOMETHING THAT ISN’T HIM, THAT ISN’T WHAT HE’S ABOUT. ALL THESE YEARS, IT’S BEEN NECESSITY. ABSOLUTE NECESSITY FOR JAMIE O’HARA. WHATEVER CRUEL ACTION WAS A JUSTIFICATION BUT THIS MIGHT BE GOING TOO FAR.

Eve: THE ACE TOSSES KASSIDY OUTSIDE THE RING BUT GRIPS THE CHAIN TIGHT! KASSIDY DANGLES ON THE OUTSIDE GOING ONE DIRECTION AS O’HARA PULLS THE CHAIN INSIDE THE RING! THAT ARM, THAT UNDOUBTEDLY BROKEN ARM IS BEING PULLED IN TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS! THE PAIN AND AGONY IN THE FACE OF KASSIDY HEART, TEARS DISPLACING BLOOD AS THEY RACE DOWN HER FACE, O’HARA IS SIMPLY TORTURING HEART FOR THE SAKE OF IT AT THIS POINT.

Gavin Kirkland: HE SWORE KASSIDY WOULD NEVER HOLD HER TWINS THE SAME AGAIN AND THIS MIGHT JUST ALTER HER CAREER ENTIRELY. FORGET HER THIS BEING THE END OF HER REIGN, THIS MIGHT JUST BE THE END OF HER CAREER. 

Deadprez: THE DESPERATION IN THE EYES OF O’HARA TO COMPLETELY SHATTER THE ARM OF KASSIDY. HE STICKS HIS FEET ON THE BOTTOM ROPE TO APPLY MORE LEVERAGE AND IT DOES JUST THAT. ANOTHER CRY, ANOTHER PLEA TO STOP FROM KASSIDY–

Eve: SHE SWEEPS THE LEGS OF HER TORTURER OFF! JAMIE O’HARA GOES BACK FIRST TO THE CANVAS AS KASSIDY DROPS TO THE GROUND. THE CHAIN STILL WRAPPED AROUND THE ARM BUT THE PRESSURE HAS BEEN ALLEVIATED FOR NOW! 

Gavin Kirkland: But Jamie is already back to his feet! He tries to pull the chain back up but Kassidy is well aware! She climbs to the ring apron and collects O’Hara in the face with a right fist! It staggers O’Hara but he comes back with a fistful of the chain! IT MISSES! AND KASS DROPS HIM ACROSS THE TOP ROPE! FUCK! HE ALMOST CLOCKED HER DESERVINGLY WITH THAT CHAIN!

(Kassidy slowly renters the ring, with the chain completely in her grasp. O’Hara begins to back away…)

Jamie O’Hara:

Eve: KASSIDY DOESN’T WAIT AND INSTEAD SHE IMMEDIATELY POUNCES! BUT JAMIE IS QUICKER TO THE PUNCH! HE DELIVERS A KNEE TO THE MID SECTION AND FOLLOWS IT UP RIGHT AWAY A BICYCLE KNEE! KASSIDY STUMBLES BACK AS O’HARA STEPS IN LOOKING FOR A SHOTEI! BUT THE OPEN PALM STRIKE MISSES, BLOCKED BY KASSIDY WHO RESPONDS WITH THE CHAIN BEING DRIVEN INTO THE RIBS OF THE ACE! O’HARA ONCE MORE BACKS HIS WAY TOWARDS THE CORNER, LOOKING FOR AN ESCAPE–

Deadprez: JAMIE TRIES TO DROP KASSIDY INTO THE UNEXPOSED TURNBUCKLES ONCE AGAIN BUT THIS TIME SHE’S AWARE OF HIS INTENTIONS AND STOPS HERSELF! O’HARA TRIES TO SCRAMBLE AWAY BUT INSTEAD KASSIDY LASHES HIS BACK WITH THE CHAIN! O’HARA ARCHES AS HE TRIES ONCE MORE TO GET DISTANCE BETWEEN HIMSELF AND KASSIDY. BUT SHE CLOSES THE GAP AND IMMEDIATELY AND ONCE AGAIN LASHES O’HARA ACROSS THE SPINE!

Eve: KASS WRAPS THE CHAIN AROUND HER LEFT FIST AND BEGINS TO BEAT O’HARA ACROSS THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH IT! SEVERAL CLUBBING BLOWS STRIKING THE SAME SPOT BUT THE ACE MANAGES TO KICK HER AWAY WITH A MULE KICK STRAIGHT TO THE INJURED RIGHT ARM! IT CAUSES KASSIDY TO RELENT AND DROP THE CHAIN TO THE GROUND AS KASSIDY TRIES TO PROTECT THE ARM.

Gavin Kirkland: DESPERATE TIMES DEMAND DESPERATE MEASURES AS JAMIE CRAWLS TOWARDS THE CHAIN, TRYING TO AT THE VERY LEAST TAKE IT AWAY–

Deadprez: PAINFULLY EVER AFTER!!!!!!!!!!! THE CURB STOMP RIGHT INTO THE PILE OF CHAIN! O’HARA’S FACE CRUSHED INTO THE STEEL AS KASSIDY COLLAPSES ON TOP OF HIM! O’HARA’S DREAM MIGHT BE OVER AND THE KING MIGHT HAVE DEFEATED THE ACE ONCE AND FOR ALL!!

OOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!! TTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! 

…

…

…

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

…

…

…

…

Gavin Kirkland: YES! GO ON! JAMIE! JAMIE GETS THE SHOULDER UP! THE CAREER ISN’T OVER JUST YET! 

(Kassidy rolls off O’Hara and both Champion and Challenge once again lay motionless in the ring to the applause of the crowd)

Eve: THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT DEFINES PAIN FOR PRIDE. THE REFUSAL TO GIVE UP, THE REFUSAL TO LET THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY THAT SO FEW GET, THAT EVEN FEWER GET MORE THAN ONE OF, TO SLIP THROUGH. IT COULD ALWAYS BE YOUR LAST, SO MAKE IT WORTH IT. NEVER LEAVE ANYTHING ON THE TABLE. 

Gavin Kirkland: JAMIE HAS LOST A BUCKET OF BLOOD IN THIS MATCH BUT THE ACE IS STILL FIGHTING. THERE IS NO CERTAINTY THAT THIS IS IT, BUT IF IT IS, THEN HE’S GOING TO GIVE IT EVERYTHING HE HAS. 

Deadprez: THE REASON WHY THIS IS SHOWDOWN’S HEADLINE ACT, THE REASON WHY THESE TWO ARE REGARDED AS SHOWDOWN’S BEST, ON FULL DISPLAY. THE PRIDE OF THE SATURDAY NIGHT BRAND TAKES CENTER STAGE TO CLOSE DAY TWO OF THIS EVENT AND THESE TWO HAVE DELIVERED ON OUR EXPECTATIONS. IT HAS BEEN A BLOODY, VIOLENT WAR UNTIL THIS POINT.

Eve: No Disqualifications…no countouts, these two have given so much already, how much is left in the tank? How much more do they have? Their crimson masks stain the ring as they crawl towards the other. Hate begets hate, violence begets violence and that has led us to where this match now rests on a knife’s edge.

(Like before, both Kassidy and Jamie meet in the middle of the ring, only this time both rest on their knees. Exhausted, they crack grins at the other knowing that this match approaches its end)

Deadprez: Despite all that hate, despite all that violence, you almost have to wonder if they’ve earned the other’s respect. They’ve thrown so much at the other and yet here they are, still breathing, still pushing and still fighting to win.

Eve: Kassidy gives O’Hara an opening shot, returning the favour from previously in the match. O’Hara simply smiles before firing away with a thunderous open palm slap across the face of Kassidy Heart! Blood and sweat go flying from the shere impact. Kassidy checks the inside of her mouth to see if there was any damage and promptly shrugs her shoulders before firing away with an equal response! A slap that echoes throughout the stadium as this hushed crowd watches, eager to see who cracks first.

Deadprez: Jamie retaliates with another slap. This one sees Kassidy grimace and O’Hara smirks in response. Kassidy grits her teeth and throws everything she has into her retaliation…but it does little to bother the Ace! In fact, O’Hara motions for her to go again and she doesn’t hesitate, firing off with another slap. A second and a third! But Jamie remains as ever upright, smiling at the attempts by his opponent. AND HE CLAPS BACK WITH A SLAP THAT SEES KASSIDY DROP TO THE CANVAS TO THE DELIGHT OF THE CROWD!

Eve: THE EXHAUSTION OF THIS MATCH TAKING ITS TOLL ON THE CHAMPION. BEING PUSHED BEYOND HER LIMITS, BEING PUSHED TO A PLACE SHE HAS NEVER BEEN BEFORE. BUT THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS, NO MERCY FROM THE ACE. HE RAISES HER HEAD OFF THE GROUND AND SLAPS KASSIDY ACROSS THE FACE ONCE, TWICE, THREE TIMES MORE. OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS HE RISES TO HIS FEET TO STAND TALL OVER HIS FOE. EACH RINGING OUT THROUGHOUT SOFI STADIUM. EACH SENDING BLOOD SPRAYING OFF HER HEAD. KASSIDY TRIES TO COVER UP BUT JAMIE SIMPLY SLAPS HER AROUND THE HEAD–

Deadprez: LOW BLOW!!! KASSIDY WITH THE LOW BLOW TO END O’HARA’S ONSLAUGHT OF DISRESPECT. SHE GRINS WIDELY AS JAMIE DROPS BACK DOWN TO HIS KNEES IN FRONT OF HER. THE CROWD SHOWERS THE RING WITH BOOS.

Gavin Kirkland: ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO PUT AN END TO JAMIE O’HARA. THAT RESPECT YOU SPOKE ABOUT DEADPREZ? NONEXISTENT. THIS WOMAN LOATHES THE MAN. SHE IS OBSESSED WITH THE VERY NATURE OF DEFEATING THE ACE AND WILL SACRIFICE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO SEE THAT OBSESSION BECOME A REALITY.

(Kassidy rises to her feet and mocks O’Hara’s prior gesture of ending the match)

Deadprez: HOW MUCH CAN JAMIE O’HARA WILL HIMSELF BACK INTO THIS CONTEST? DOES HE HAVE ONE LAST PUSH, ONE LAST GASP? OR HAS THE FLAME OF THE ACE BEEN EXTINGUISHED AND ALL THAT’S LEFT IS FLICKERING EMBERS OF LIFE? KASSIDY HEART REALISES IT. SHE REALISES THAT SHE STANDS ON THE VERGE OF RETAINING HER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, THE VERGE OF DEFEATING THE ACE AND THE VERGE OF CEMENTING HER PLACE IN IMMORTALITY. KASSIDY MOCKINGLY GRABS BOTH WRISTS OF O’HARA, A FINAL BULLET IN THE SEVEN YEAR CAREER WITH ADDED INSULT, MIGHT JUST BE LOOKING TO SLAY THE ACE WITH HIS OWN MOVE, WITH THE STARDUST BREAKER. KASSIDY PULLS O’HARA IN–

Eve: SPEAR?!? SPEAR!!! O’HARA CUTS KASSIDY DOWN WITH HER HUSBAND’S ICONIC MOVE. JAMIE O’HARA POUNDS THE CANVAS, THE CROWD ROARS ONCE MORE URGING HIM ON. KASSIDY CLUTCHES HER RIBS AS SHE TRIES TO GET BACK TO HER FEET. THE EXHAUSTION VISIBLE ON THE FACE OF BOTH, THE PAIN ENDURED, THE SACRIFICES MADE AS JAMIE LINES KASSIDY UP, THE SMILE ON HIS FACE, THE FOCUS AND THE INTENSITY. THIS, THIS MIGHT JUST BE ALL HE HAS LEFT AND YET ALL THAT HE WILL NEED. 

Deadprez: **IN EXCELSIS, AKA FOREVER MIGHTY. FOREVER THE ACE. FOREVER THE IMMORTAL. FOREVER THE LEGEND, JAMIE FUCKING O’HARA!!!!**

Gavin Kirkland: IIIINNNN EEEEXXXXCCCCEEEELLLLLLSSSSSIIIIIISSSSSSSS!!!! THE RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE IS DRIVEN RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF KASSIDY HEART!!!!!

Deadprez: KASS COUNTERS! KASS COUNTERS! SHE STEPS ASIDE AND GRABS THE RIGHT ARM OF O’HARA! NO WAY! LOOKING TO FINALLY PUT THIS OVER WITH. LOOKING TO FINALLY END THE ACE AND REACH HER NIRVANA, TO CLAIM HER IMMORTALITY. THE RIGHT ARM TRAPPED WITH THE LEG, THE KIMURA LOCKED IN, HALF OF ‘THANK U, NEXT’ IS SET BUT KASS CAN’T UTILISE THE RIGHT ARM, WITH ONLY ONE ARM SHE CAN’T COMPLETELY LOCK IN THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR…SO SHE REACHES FOR THE CHAIN!!!

Eve: SHE WRAPS THE CHAIN AROUND THE MOUTH OF JAMIE O’HARA AND WRAPS IT AROUND THE LEFT ARM! SHE FALLS BACK TO THE CANVAS AND WITH HER GOOD ARM, HER ONLY WORKING ARM, PULLS THE CHAIN TOWARDS HER. JAMIE IS SCREAMING IN AGONY, HIS SHOULDER ON THE VERGE OF BEING RIPPED FROM IT’S SOCKET, THAT ARM RIPPED FROM HIS BODY. ‘THANK U, NEXT’, THE KIMURA LOCK AND FUJIWARA ARMBAR COMBINATION IS CINCHED IN AND THE CHALLENGER IS STUCK DEAD IN THE CENTER OF THE RING. 

Gavin Kirkland: THE ACE HAS NOWHERE TO GO, NOWHERE TO ESCAPE. KASSIDY SHATTERED THE ARM OF GARCIA LAST WEEK, WE KNOW THE LENGTHS THAT SHE’S WILLING TO GO TO AND THIS MIGHT JUST BE A MORE TERRIFYING AND CONCERN PREDICAMENT FOR THE ACE.

Deadprez: THAT CHAIN PROVIDING A BETTER GRIP AS KASSIDY SLOWLY PULLS IT CLOSER AND CLOSER TO HER CHEST. THE RIGHT ARM IS ABSOLUTELY USELESS FOR HER, BUT EVERY BIT OF STRENGTH IN HER BODY IS BEING USED TO KEEP THIS DEADLY SUBMISSION HOLD LOCKED IN.

Gavin Kirkland: BUT THE ACE REFUSES TO QUIT. THROUGH THE SUFFERING, HE TRIES DESPERATELY TO GET HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE– BUT KASS BEGINS TO FIRE AWAY, HER LEFT BOOT RELENTLESSLY DRIVEN INTO THE BACK OF JAMIE O’HARA’S SKULL AND ONCE AGAIN SHE YANKS THE CHAIN DOWN, CLOSER AND CLOSER, BEYOND THE PHYSICAL HUMAN LIMITATIONS. 

Eve: HE HAS TO BE THINKING ABOUT THE LONG TERM RAMIFICATIONS OF HIS PRIDE GETTING IN THE WAY HERE. HE DOESN’T WANT TO QUIT, HE HAS NEVER QUIT IN HIS CAREER. NEVER TAPPED, NEVER BEEN FORCED TO SURRENDER LIKE THIS. BUT HIS EYES EVER SINCE HE WAS TRAPPED IN ‘THANK U, NEXT’ HAVE BEEN LOCKED ON HIS BABY BOY AT RINGSIDE.

Kassidy Heart: DIE. JUST FUCKING DIE ALREADY. GO AWAY AND DIE.

Deadprez: O’HARA AGAIN CRIES OUT IN AGONY ONLY TO BE MET BY AN EQUAL PRIMAL ROAR BY THE MAULER AS SHE KEEPS TRYING TO BRING THAT CHAIN CLOSER TO HER. THE BOOT CONTINUING TO BE DRIVEN INTO THE BACK OF O’HARA’S SKULL, STITCHES FROM SEVERAL WEEKS AGO POPPING OPEN AND THE BLOOD BEGINS TO PAINT THE BOOT OF KASSIDY HEART.

Gavin Kirkland: O’HARA MAKES ONE FINAL DESPERATE PLEA, ONE LAST GASP FOR SALVATION. HE BITES DOWN ON THE CHAIN TO ENDURE THE SUFFERING INFLICTED ON HIM. HE…HE’S UP TO A KNEE. HE MIGHT JUST BREAK IT…

Eve: BUT KASSIDY YANKS ON THE CHAIN ONCE MORE DRAGGING THE ACE BACK TO THE CANVAS AND IT DRAGS THE ARM EVEN FURTHER INTO THAT UNGODLY POSITION BEHIND HIS BACK. HIS SHOULDER MIGHT JUST SHATTER IN ANY SECOND.

Deadprez: THE PAIN, THE EXCRUCIATING PAIN RACING DOWN THE ARM OF THE ACE. HE…HE…HE HAS NO CHOICE. JAMIE O’HARA DOES THE UNTHINKABLE AND TAPS OUT. THE KING HAS DEFEATED THE ONCE SEEMINGLY IMMORTAL ACE.

(DING! DING! DING!)

(‘Monster’ by Kanye West hits as King Kass releases her grip on the chain as Jamie rolls away clutching his arm. Both competitors lay in the middle of the ring, exhausted as the crowd rise to their feet to applaud both.)

Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…AND SSSTTTTIIIIIILLLLLL THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…….KKKKKIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG KKKKKKAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

Deadprez: KING KASS, KASSIDY HEART, HAS DONE WHAT SHE PROMISED SHE WOULD DO. SHE HAS DEFEATED THE ACE ON THE GRAND STAGE OF PAIN FOR PRIDE! THE BIGGEST MOMENT OF HER CAREER HAS BECOME A REALITY, KASSIDY HEART HAS DONE WHAT MANY BELIEVED WAS IMPOSSIBLE. 

Eve: THIS MATCH DROVE BOTH PARTICIPANTS TO THE VERY EDGE OF THEIR LIMITATIONS AND FOR KASSIDY, SHE HAD TO PUSH WELL AND TRULY BEYOND THEM. SHE HAD TO BREAK HER OWN PHYSICAL AND MENTAL BARRIERS TO PERSEVERE, TO KEEP THIS MATCH ALIVE. IT WAS THAT UNDENIABLE DETERMINATION TO BRING HERSELF BACK INTO THIS MATCH, DOING EVERYTHING SHE COULD POSSIBLY DO IN ORDER TO REMAIN IN IT. NO MATTER HOW CLOSE JAMIE O’HARA GOT, NO MATTER HOW CLOSE THE ACE GOT TO PUTTING THE KING AWAY, KASSIDY HEART FOUND A WAY TO PUT THE RESULT BEYOND HIS REACH AND FORCE THE ACE TO TAP OUT.

Gavin Kirkland: :mjcry: :mjcry: :mjcry: I…I can’t even begin to process this. He’s supposed to be the Ace! He’s supposed to be the greatest in the world today! How could…how could he…

(Both Kassidy and Jamie remain laid out in the ring, barely moving an inch. The exhaustion of both is evident by the pool of blood and sweat forming beneath them. The California summer heat, even at night, made the air thick. Finally, for better or worse, both get to breathe)

Eve: Think back to a year ago and having to watch her husband not even get the chance to tap at the hands of Jamie O’Hara after a bittersweet defeat of her own. To be laying here in this moment, despite all the ups and downs, and the setbacks, having done what Mr. DEDEDE could not do himself.

Deadprez: The crossroads that the Ace has arrived at is something that I’m sure will be talked about in the days and weeks to come. The common sense of immense pride both himself and Kassidy share will make tonight a bitter pill for him to swallow. 

(Kassidy finally sits up as Jamie rolls away from the ring. Disappointed and dejected, he’s helped to the back by officials, wiping the blood away from his face and head. The referee helps Kassidy to her feet and hands her the Answers World Championship. She pauses, processing the moment before realising that she had indeed won. The referee proceeds to wrap the Championship around her waist and hoists her hand in the air as the victor. The bloodied Kassidy refuses the towel, rather embracing her state as she stands, barely able to hold herself up from pure exhaustion)

Deadprez: Speculation is a thing for the future. For now, this moment belongs to the woman in the middle of that ring. The King who walked waged a war with the Ace and won. The King who reigns over Showdown, over Elite Answers Wrestling as a whole. Kassidy Heart’s quest to reach that elusive destiny of becoming the greatest to ever do it has taken an incredible leap forward here tonight at Pain For Pride 14!!! Thank you for an incredible Day Two of this event, we’ll see you tomorrow! GOODNIGHT!!!

(Pyro crackles above the ring, between the space of the stadium’s Oculus video board. Pyro races up the ramp and explodes around the stage as Kassidy Heart approaches and rises to the second turnbuckle. She barely raises her arms, simply raises her head to the sky and taps the Answers World Championship around her waist before she slips back down to the canvas, coming to a rest in a seated position in the corner. She soaks in the moment, the victory and the significance of it all. The emotion bubbles to the surface and the grin of standing on top of the world of Elite Answers Wrestling gives way to pure joy that it is indeed her reality. Kassidy Heart, the King has done the very thing she set out to do, defeating the Ace, Jamie O’Hara. The camera fades to black)

(EAW logo buzzes)

(The camera fades open to a shot of Los Angeles on a clear blue sky summer day. It’s unassuming, the roads are as busy as ever as people go about their day in the city of angels. The camera then fades to a shot of a church located near the Hollywood hills. A pastor holding a large book in his hands walks into the nave of the church, through the giant wooden doors and past the congregation who have arrived)

(We never see the face of the pastor as he reaches the plinth at the front of the nave, the camera focuses on the book which has a certain, familiar emblem splashed across it…)

(The pastor slowly opens the book and skips several pages before clearing his throat and beginning his sermon)

Pastor: We gather here today on the holiest of weekends. Where the veil separating heaven and earth wavers and we, God’s children, get a glimpse into what lies beyond if only for a brief moment.

(The camera fades to a view of the church’s ceiling. It depicts a series of violent wars throughout history, right across the globe. From the Holy Roman Empire to countless other European wars of religion waged by nations such as Great Britain and Ireland, Denmark, France and Norway. The paintings further depict wars fought in the Middle East and Asia.)

Pastor: History has shown us that war has always and will always be fought in the name of God. The desire to appease the creator, violence has always been at the root of many individual’s desire to reach their concept of heaven. Millions dying, all their last, final breaths being safe passage to an eternal afterlife in a kingdom resting on clouds. But heaven doesn’t exist in the life that comes next. No, it signals it’s arrival for a brief moment once a year.

(The stained glass windows of the church depict a series of men and women, with previous Pain For Pride logos also enshrined at the bottom of the pieces of art. In the rays of light that penetrate through the glass, moments of Pain For Pride in years gone past play out relating to each man and woman depicted in the glass. CM Banks, Mr. DEDEDE, Mak, HRDO, Extreme Enigma, Sabina, Impact, Starrstan among others)

Pastor: Matthew, 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Indeed, for those who reach the holy destination receive many things. Fame, glory, infamy. All that they desired has been achieved in this heavenly domain. Some sacrifices were folly, were simply in vain though for some it led them to that all too addicting ideal of immortality itself.

(Along the pews, where the packed congregation sits, artwork of more recent moments at Pain For Pride are detailed. Moments of victory for the likes of Jamie O’Hara, Darcy May Morgan, The Visual Prophet, Malcolm Jones, Rex McAllister and Kassidy Heart)

Pastor: Romans 12:1-2, “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

Pastor: What is it that you’re all willing to sacrifice for what you desire most? No mere mortal enters beyond those gates without leaving a piece of their soul behind. Without sacrifice there is no reward, without pain there is no pride. All those who came before you, all those who reached their nirvana built what we know today on that very concept. So when those bells do toll, when the trumpets fill the air, will you be ready? Will you be prepared to endure?

(The pastor hesitates for a moment, raising a finger in the air. The camera pans to the outside of the church, slowly zooming in on the tower. The church bell sits silently, undisturbed until…)

**DING** **DONG** **DING** **DONG** **DING** **DONG**

(The closest shot of the pastor yet of only his mouth as he grins)

Pastor: That time is now upon us. 

(The congregation becomes fearful, terrified as the ground shakes beneath their feet but the pastor gestures to calm. The camera cuts to people scattering throughout the city of Los Angeles before cutting to Venice beach. The tide begins to recede, the pier collapses into the ocean…or what formerly was)

Pastor: My congregation! Do not fear for tonight, we will not just simply get a glimpse into the veil, but rather we will bring heaven itself to the city of Angels. Let us purge sin from all those who are sinful. Let us bring forth a new era for this world and mold it into our vision, into what God desires for his kingdom!!

**CRACK**

(A loud crack echoes as the ground slightly tips. Several smaller cracks follow to level it out. After a brief moment, the entire city of Los Angeles begins to rise out of the ground. Clouds form at the base of the rock and lift it into the sky. A bright ring encompasses the floating city before flashing into pearly white gates and fences and a golden staircase reaching the forgotten earth below forms. Several EAW Elitists race towards it, clashing with one another. Many fall before even reaching the steps and only a few manage to reach the gates themselves)

Pastor: Matthew 7:13-14; “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” So many of you will stumble and fall in your desire to reach this place consumed by destruction but for the few who do, glory awaits. Make your ascension and claim your future. Seize the moment and etch your name in the history books.

(Ms. Extreme sits at the bottom of the staircase. She prepares herself and begins the slow climb up the stairway to the top. As she finally reaches the top of her climb, standing before the pearly gates, a figure stands in her way. The camera pans to reveal it to be Darcy May Morgan with the keys to the kingdom in her grasp as she dangles them before her opponent)

Pastor: Tragically it will be the end of the line for some. Their final chance to enter the promised paradise, denied entry by one who already has their key to immortality.

(On the west of the city, Xander Payne emerges towering over the people below on what was formerly Venice beach. He proceeds to swiftly drive both his fists into the ground causing a ripple that races across Heaven altering the very appearance of the kingdom itself. The formerly Hollywood sign now reading “PAIN FOR PRIDE” shifts and becomes “PAYNE FOR PRIDE”. However, standing tall in the middle of the city is none other than Impact himself. He raises his hand and promptly ends Xander’s efforts to alter the kingdom.)

Pastor: All things must change. Old must be replaced by new and those who stand in the way of progress, fighting to preserve their own vision must step aside, for the machine of progress does not stop.

(On top of the Hollywood hills, a throne emerges and King Kass takes her place with the Answers World Championship draped over her shoulder and her crown resting on her head. As she enjoys the sight looking over this new risen heaven, clouds above her turn black, lightning cracks revealing Jamie O’Hara reaching out)

Pastor: As it stands, a throne of immortality waits for one to conquer it. Yet be weary of those who seek to reclaim what was previously theirs and the war they’re willing to rage. But this too, this outdated philosophy, must eventually end.

(Back on the ground, a large hoard of people have gathered and headed directly for the church itself. At the head of this group is Malcolm Jones who barges down the doors of the church where this opening had began)

Pastor: And you…

(As he approaches the front of the nave, two individuals sitting on the front two pews. They turn around to reveal themselves to be none other than…**MINERVA AND MYLES**)

Pastor: Looking to defy what God dictates…

(Malcolm, realising what is going on, pauses before reaching the front. The pastor slowly turns around to reveal himself to be Drake King all along)

Drake King: You cannot stop this creation of a New Eden for all.

(Drake’s cackle becomes a roaring laugh as the camera slowly pans out of the church. It continues to pan to an overview of the kingdom, Xander and Impact wage their war, Kassidy continues to rest on her throne as the threat of Jamie O’Hara looms, Darcy May Morgan still blocks Ms Extreme from entering heaven. A final shot of Los Angeles, resting on the clouds high in the sky with the Pain For Pride logo stretching from one end of the screen to the other in the background before fading to black, with only Drake’s laughter being heard before it too fades out)

Narrator: AND NOW…

(The camera flies through a more traditional depiction of heaven. Rising up a stairway lined by angels blowing trumpets and passing Saint Peter. The gates open to a burst of light blinding the camera. It transitions to the Pain For Pride logo rising above the clouds, the angelic wings flapping with feathers falling)

Narrator: ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING PROUDLY PRESENTS! THE 14TH ANNUAL PRESENTATION OF PRO WRESTLING’S GREATEST SPECTACLE…

Narrator: **PAIN FOR PRIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**

(The scene cuts straight to SoFi Stadium. Pyrotechnics crackle in the space above the ring before a series of blue and white pyro explode around the rim of the Oculus Ring from the south end to the north. As it begins to reach the north end, pyrotechnics race along the aisle before erupting in a sea of colours in a tremendously uniform manner. The pyro proceeds to race around the trip of the stage base before racing up two LED staircases that lead to a second platform before erupting one one final, glorious display of colour. The crowd erupts at the finale)

SCREENBAR — SOLD OUT

SCREENBAR — SOFI STADIUM. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.

Stew-O: WELCOME EVERYONE TO THE FOURTEENTH ANNUAL EXTRAVAGANZA. WELCOME TO THE PINNACLE OF THIS INDUSTRY. WELCOME TO THE STAIRWAY TO IMMORTALITY. **WELCOME TO PAIN FOR PRIDE!!!!** FOR THE NEXT THREE NIGHTS THE GATES TO NIRVANA HAVE OPENED UP FOR THE ELITISTS OF DYNASTY, SHOWDOWN AND VOLTAGE TO TEMPT FATE AND REALISE THEIR DREAMS. 

(The camera fades to a shot of the Dynasty announce desk where Stew-O, Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy are standing by)

Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen I’m privileged to welcome you all to a SoFi Stadium packed with fully vaccinated fans of Elite Answers Wrestling. The tumultuous year that has been the last twelve months and the slow return of audiences has led here to here tonight. It’s thanks to everyone’s efforts that we find ourselves back to a place of normalcy. And I’m honored to introduce my colleagues from Dynasty, Flannery McCoy and Jake Mercer!

Flannery McCoy: It has been a long, long road back to where we are now but let’s not dwell on the past twelve months, this weekend is a celebration of all things Elite Answers Wrestling and Dynasty has a STACKED lineup of matches that I believe rival whatever Showdown and Voltage are bringing.

Jake Mercer: A clash of generations, the World Heavyweight Champion Xander Payne defending against the man on the verge of making history by becoming the first TEN!! YES TEN TIME WORLD CHAMPION, IMPACT!!! The young rising star in Adam Lucas defends the newly reintroduced Hardcore Champion against the man who is arguably the greatest of all time, The Gawd, MR. DEDEDE! Plus I believe our brand has the strongest participants in this year’s Cash In The Vault match! And so, so much more!

Stew-O: Let’s send it over to our Showdown partners! Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland!

(The camera moves down the row to the Showdown announce desk where all three members of the Showdown announce team are standing by)

Deadprez: Thanks Stew! The blue brand welcomes you to Pain For Pride. Deadprez here alongside Eve and Gavin Kirkland and the year that has been on Saturday nights has been a rollercoaster of emotions, hardships, loss and victories and yet we are here tonight, here on this wonderful weekend. 

Eve: I don’t think either Voltage or Dynasty have this kind of headline act. FOR SHOWDOWN, IT IS KING VERSUS ACE. IT IS HEART VERSUS O’HARA FOR THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! AND THIS IS GOING TO GET UGLY! The Interwire Championship is on the line, Bronson Daniels versus Dynasty’s MITSUBACHI! The Beating Hearts of Voltage collide! Nikolas versus Ripley! I’m running out of time just trying to name all that Showdown has to offer this weekend!

Gavin Kirkland: Wait…it’s actually Pain For Pride…that means…my Acey baby…his time is almost up :mjcry:

Deadprez: Gavin…It’s okay. It’s time to move on. Just like we’re moving on to last but not certainly least, the Voltage team!

(Gavin raises a bottle of Henny as he realises this could be the last time he sees the Ace in action. However the camera quickly shifts down to the Voltage announce table. James Peters, Rich Russillo and Persephone stand idly by ready to introduce themselves)

James Peters: It might be the end of an era for one on Showdown but here at SoFi Stadium, in front of a capacity crowd, the future of Voltage hangs in the balance. New Eden has terrorized Sunday nights for months, their ambitions are on the verge of being realised. Myles seeking to win Cash In The Vault. Minerva to take the National Elite Championship from the grasp of the Champion TLA. And in our main event, THE main event for Pain For Pride, Drake King’s war against EAW reaches its most critical point and the only man who stands in the way of stopping him is the EAW World Champion himself, Malcolm Jones. All that both men have worked towards could ultimately come undone. 

Rich Russillo: James we could spend all our time here speaking about just how important the EAW World Championship match is not just to Voltage, but Elite Answers Wrestling as a whole! However we don’t just stop there. Will Ms. Extreme’s three year journey finally pay off? Will she be able to defeat the dominant, reigning and defending Universal Women’s Championship. Rising stars IDOL-GUN defend the Unified Tag Team Championships against Showdown’s Xavier Williams and Harlow Reichert in a battle that has become deeply personal. Plus, an old dream will be realised as Cameron Ella A–

Persephone: OH WHO CARES ABOUT THAT WHORE AND HER DREAM, MY SEXY REXY IS THE ONLY PERSON ON THE VOLTAGE BRAND THAT MATTERS AND IT’S A CRIME THAT HE ISN’T IN HIS FOURTH STRAIGHT MAIN EVENT. 

James Peters: In fact, guys? We’re kicking this show off! Let’s send it over to Bella Braxton standing by!

(The camera fades to an overview of the SoFi Stadium as fans cheer and prepare themselves for the first day of Pain For Pride. It proceeds to fade to Bella Braxton standing in the middle of the ring with a beaming smile on her face. The first match will be a Voltage match!)

Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for…

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!!!

Bella Braxton: ONE FALL! AND AHREN FOURNIER’S HALL OF FAME RING WILL BE ON THE LINE! 

Crowd: Need to get me one of those tbh, proper shiny.

(‘Natural’ by Imagine Dragons would hit the speakers, as the fans suddenly erupt into cheers. The lights would all go dark, apart from the titantron, that shows nothing but flames. The flames would suddenly freeze over, as the name “Terry Chambers” appears on screen. Dry Ice would be blown onto the stage, as Terry Chambers himself would walk out onto the stage, wearing a chain-filled coat. The Dry Ice would slowly disappear, as Terry Chambers lets out a battle cry, and begins to walk down the ramp.)

Bella Braxton: Introducing first… hailing from Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 257 pounds… he is the “Barbaric Carnivore”… TERRYYYYYYYYYYYY CHAAAAAAAAAAMBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERS!!!!

James Peters: Here comes the former EAW World Champion! After defeating SOSA Henderson at King Of Elite, he was able to pick up his first world championship after so long of trial and error just to get there; even a controversial false finish at Road To Redemption, where it was revealed after the bell had rung that Terry’s shoulder was not down for the three count. Now? He walks down the ramp trying to prove a personal point.

Rich Russillo: A personal point against my, and many other people’s true GOAT, and regardless of it being Terry Chambers or not, this is going to be a hard task for him to overcome! So much has changed for Terry in the past year, and right now he could either walk out a legitimized LEGEND, or Terry Chambers. He needs this victory so much more than his opponent, but that’s what makes it such a hard one to call. 

James Peters: Terry Chambers and Ahren Fournier have had nothing but disagreements, intense encounters, and back and forth fighting between the two of them, because Terry Chambers believes that the Hall of Fame status Ahren Fournier possesses is not only undeserved, but he wants to take it out. In his own words “something that needed to be done a LONG time ago” in reference to “taking out the trash” as he put it. Tonight, he can do exactly that.

(Terry Chambers walks up the steel steps and enters the ring, before slapping himself in the head to hype himself up. Terry would go to the turnbuckles and climb to the middle rope, before posing and letting out another battle cry, as pyrotechnics would be let off in the background, creating a visual that could immediately be remembered as iconic.)

Crowd: :blessed:!!!

(Terry Chambers climbs off the turnbuckles, as his theme would fade out. Terry removes his jacket, before ‘How You Like That’ by BLACKPINK hits the speakers. The crowd would let out fierce boos of hatred, as umbrellas would begin to stick out of the stage. Suddenly, one by one, the umbrellas light ablaze, lighting up the stage and ramp, as Ahren Fournier walks out on the stage holding a flaming umbrella, and joined by Jennipurr. He points the fiery umbrella down the ramp at Terry Chambers, before raising up his other hand; a hand that contains his Hall of Fame ring.)

Bella Braxton: And introducing his opponent… Hailing from Pawtucket, Rhode Island, weighing in at 210 pounds… HE IS “THE GOAT”…. AAAAAAAAAAAAHREEEEEEEEEEEEN FOUUUURNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!!!!!

James Peters: Building off of the words that I mentioned earlier, Ahren Fournier is here to put his Hall of Fame ring on the line in order to prove not only to Terry but every other doubter that he does deserve his spot in the Hall of Fame, and that there’s a reason he’s accomplished that and Terry Chambers hasn’t. Joining the Hall of Fame class last year along the likes of Chris Elite, TLA and Rex McAllister, Ahren has certainly earned his stripes here in EAW; but Terry thinks otherwise.

Persephone: Of course, neither one of them can even *MATCH* Rex McAllister. Rex was THE Hall of Famer last year, the rest were just there so it wouldn’t be an empty stage since there was so much extra room. I couldn’t give a shit who wins this match, because I know my Rex-tacular Hunk deserves it more than anyone!

Rich Russillo: Let’s not forget how Terry Chambers was the reason that Ahren Fournier did not win the National Elite Championship against fellow 2020 Hall of Fame inductee TLA. Terry Chambers is trying too hard to prove Ahren wrong, but if he sat back and watched, we’d have learned that Ahren was right, and that he does deserve where he’s at. He’s one of my many goats, and that truly means something.

(Ahren Fournier would stop at the bottom of the ramp, as he approached the podium. He slowly removes his Hall of Fame ring, before kissing the logo on the front. Ahren steps up onto the apron, and removes his jacket, before throwing it at Terry, making their feud even more heated, as Terry clearly doesn’t appreciate that. Ahren Fournier would then enter the ring, and climb up the turnbuckles, before aiming the umbrella into the air once more, as the flames slowly fade out, along with his theme song. Ahren Fournier climbs off the turnbuckles, waiting in his corner, as the bell etches closer to ringing.)

Crowd: :patrickboo:

James Peters: The crowd may hold distaste for Ahren, but he sure knows how to make an impact. What an entrance, I have to say!

Persephone: Rex’s is gonna be better… and hotter! 

(DING! DING! DING!)

James Peters: And we are underway! The first bell toll of the three nights of legends being made, stars being born; the staircase of immortality, Pain For Pride 14!!! The build up has been intense, but it’s been worth the wait, as we’ve seen many rise and many fall. We’ve seen people like Terry get to the top, whilst he believes Ahren isn’t’ deserving of being there. Tonight is the collision course that proves whether he’s right or wrong, and soon we’re going to get the answer.

Rich Russillo: There’s a reason why Ahren Fournier himself is *called* the goat and Terry Chambers isn’t, there’s a reason why Ahren Fournier has that Hall of Fame ring and Terry Chambers *doesn’t*, and it’s the outcome we all expect!

Persephone: As far as I’m concerned, they’re both wrong since they’re not talking about my Sexy Rexy.

(Ahren Fournier and Terry Chambers begin to walk towards the center of the ring, as they trash talk one another due to their conflicting morals and ethics. They meet in the middle, before staring at each other with a look of hatred. Terry Chambers then points at the Hall of Fame ring resting on the pedestal outside.)

Terry Chambers: (off-mic) You don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve *THAT*.

Ahren Fournier: (off-mic) Watching me walk down the ramp with it is the closest you will ever get to one outside of your dream world.

Terry Chambers: (off-mic) We’ll see, “goat.” I hope you’re ready for your finish to be the polar opposite of strong.

James Peters: These two want each other to know exactly how they feel about one another, their rivalry has been centered around their beliefs and their words, and now they’re going to channel that into their match!

Rich Russillo: Terry and Ahren continue to trash talk each other, before Terry suddenly pushes Ahren back by his chest, almost making him stumble off his feet!

(Ahren looks away from Terry, with a smug chuckle on his face, before retaliating.)

Rich Russillo: BUT INSTEAD OF FIGHTING BACK, AHREN FOURNIER SIMPLY SLAPS TERRY CHAMBERS RIGHT IN THE FACE, BEFORE SPITTING RIGHT IN HIS FACE! GUYS WE HAVE A PANDEMIC OVER HERE, AND IT’S NOT LIKE THOSE VACC-SCAMS ARE GOING TO PROTECT YOU!!!

James Peters: :mjwhat:

Persephone: :mjwhat:

Crowd: :mjwhat:

Ahren Fournier: (off-mic) TRY HARDER!

James Peters: AND TRY HARDER HE WILL, AS TERRY CHAMBERS QUICKLY THROWS A LARIAT TOWARDS AHREN FOURNIER’S HEAD- BUT HE HAD IT SCOUTED, DUCKING UNDERNEATH AND RUNNING THE ROPES! NOW WE SEE A RUNNING KNEE ATTEMPT FROM AHREN, HOWEVER TERRY SIDESTEPS AND THROWS AHREN INTO THE ROPES! OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY-

Rich Russillo: BUT AHREN HOOKS HIS ARMS OVER THE TOP ROPE, AND TERRY ISN’T ABLE TO GRAB ANYTHING; FLAILING HIS ARMS IN THE AIR! AHREN GETS HIS BOOT UP AND JABS IT INTO TERRY’S FACE, BEFORE JUMPING ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE! SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE- 

James Peters: BUT TERRY CHAMBERS QUICKLY MANAGES TO CATCH AHREN FOURNIER ON HIS SHOULDERS, PUTTING HIM IN THE POWERBOMB POSITION, AND AT ANY MOMENT HE COULD DRIVE HIM FULL-THROTTLE INTO THE MAT, AND THAT WOULDN’T BE A GOOD THING FOR AHREN TO ENDURE!

Rich Russillo: AHREN IS TRYING TO STRUGGLE HIS WAY OUT OF IT, BUT TERRY IS TURNING HIM AROUND TO GET TO THE CENTER OF THE RING, MAKING HIM FACE AWAY FROM THE ROPES SO HE HAS NOTHING TO HOLD ONTO-

James Peters: HOWEVER HE FORGETS TO ACKNOWLEDGE HOW DEEP AHREN IS WILLING TO GO IN ORDER TO INFLICT PAIN ON ANOTHER; AS AHREN GRABS HIM BY THE RING FINGER, AND BEGINS TO BEND IT BACKWARDS! TERRY IS SCREAMING IN AGONY! 

Ahren Fournier: (off-mic) I PROMISE YOU! YOU WILL NEVER… WEAR… THAT… RING!!! 

Rich Russillo: AND NOW AHREN IS PROMISING TERRY THAT HE’S NEVER GOING TO WEAR THE HALL OF FAME RING, NOT ONLY DOES HE MEAN BEING INDUCTED, OR WINNING HERE TONIGHT, BUT HE ALSO MEANS *PHYSICALLY*!!!! WHAT A TRUE GOAT! SO WISE! 

James Peters: AHREN LOOKS TO SNAP THE FINGER RIGHT OFF THE BONE, HOWEVER TERRY CHAMBERS MANAGES TO ESCAPE BY PLACING AHREN ON HIS FEET, AND OVERPOWERING HIM; PUSHING HIM BACKWARDS INTO THE ROPES! RUNNING CHOP TO THE CHEST!!

Rich Russillo: Ahren Fournier stumbles forward, holding onto his chest in pain due to the large hand that flew at his flesh at a very high speed! I’m a strong guy myself, but that chop sounded like a gunshot, even I’d cave in! The fact Ahren is even standing is impressive, and shows off his skill!

James Peters: But Terry Chambers isn’t too impressed, as he goes to take Ahren Fournier down again; lifting him up by the chin, before hitting another huge chop, and if that last one was a gunshot, that one was a rocket launcher! You could hear that all the way at the Santa Monica Pier from here!

Rich Russillo: Ahren Fournier stumbles into the corner, and this is an extremely terrible position for him to be in right now! Terry Chambers has him backed into a corner, with a height and weight advantage, but fret not! The goat will always have a way out of it-

**CHOP!**

James Peters: BUT TERRY CHAMBERS DENIES ANY WAY OUT OF IT AS HE HITS A HUGE RUNNING CHOP TO AHREN FOURNIER’S CHEST ONCE MORE, AND THIS TIME HE APPEARS TO BE COMPLETELY WINDED! HIS CHEST MIGHT END UP PURPLE BY THE TIME THIS MATCH IS OVER! 

Rich Russillo: AND NOW TERRY CHAMBERS WRAPS HIS HANDS AROUND AHREN FOURNIER’S THROAT, AND DRAGS HIM AWAY FROM THE CORNER, CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF HIM, AS HE SCREAMS INTO HIS FACE! 

Terry Chambers: (off-mic) YOU’RE NOT GONNA KEEP THAT PROMISE, AHREN! YOU DOOMED YOURSELF TO FAIL!

James Peters: AND NOW TERRY CHAMBERS LOOKS TO THROW AHREN FOURNIER OVER HIS HEAD, HITTING AN OVERHEAD CHOKING-BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX, FORCING AHREN INTO THE AIR AND LANDING ON HIS SHOULDERS! 

Rich Russillo: BUT AHREN FOURNIER IS ONE STEP AHEAD! WHILST TERRY WASTED TIME TO CLAP BACK, HE MANAGED TO FIND A WAY TO SCOUT IT, AND NOW HE ROLLS STRAIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET! HE RUNS FORWARD… ‘STORYBOOK ENDING’!!! CURB STOMP! 

James Peters: BUT TERRY CHAMBERS POPS HIS HEAD UP BEFORE AHREN FOURNIER IS ABLE TO EVEN GET HIS FOOT ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, STANDING UP AND HITTING A HUGE EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD, AND NOW AHREN FOURNIER STUMBLES BACK!

Rich Russillo: Then Ahren drops to a knee, as Terry quickly retreats out onto the apron! Ha! I knew that man was a coward! Just like all cowards, he’s scaling the turnbuckles! Wait… THAT BIG ASS DUDE IS SCALING THE TURNBUCKLES! IS HE *TRYING* TO CAUSE AN EARTHQUAKE???

James Peters: NOT QUITE, BUT HE MAY BE PLANNING TO MAKE AHREN FEEL THE EFFECTS OF ONE, CLIMBING UP TO THE TOP ROPE, PREYING ON AHREN FOURNIER! TERRY CHAMBERS STANDS UP ON THE VERY PEAK, BEFORE LEAPING! 

Rich Russillo: BUT AHREN FOURNIER QUICKLY POPS UP AND HITS A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT OF HIS OWN! ANYTHING HE CAN DO, AHREN CAN DO BETTER! TERRY CHAMBERS DROPS TO HIS KNEES, AND NOW AHREN FOURNIER RUNS THE ROPES! 

James Peters: BUT TERRY IS QUICK TO HIS FEET, AS THE SECOND AHREN HITS THE ROPES, TERRY MEETS HIM WITH A HUGE BACK ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF THE JAW, AND NOW AHREN DROPS TO HIS KNEES! BUT TERRY ISN’T DONE, AS HE RUNS TOO-

Rich Russillo: HOWEVER WE SEE AHREN GET UP THE SECOND TERRY IS FACING AWAY, AND WHEN HE MEETS THE ROPES, AHREN SNATCHES HIM WITH A HUGE ROLLING ELBOW, KNOCKING TERRY DOWN TO HIS KNEES! NOW AHREN RUNS THE ROPES ONCE AGAIN!

James Peters: BUT HE DIDN’T DO ENOUGH TO KEEP TERRY DOWN ENTIRELY; SPRINTING BEHIND AHREN, BEFORE CLOTHESLINING HIM RIGHT OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE, WITH AHREN STUMBLING BACKWARDS ONTO THE RAMP, AS TERRY CHAMBERS RUNS THE ROPES IN THE RING! 

Rich Russillo: THE BARBARIC CARNIVORE NOW LOOKS TO DEFY THE LAWS OF PHYSICS, BOUNCING OFF THE ROPES AND TOWARDS THE OTHER SIDE, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR! HOLY FUCK! TOPE CON HILO FROM TERRY CHAMBERS!!!!!!!!!!

(Terry Chambers goes flying over the top rope, taking Ahren Fournier out off his feet, before rolling forward and getting back up.)

James Peters: TERRY CHAMBERS IS GOING ALL OUT FOR PAIN FOR PRIDE, AS HE LETS OUT A BATTLE CRY, WITH THE CROWD GOING WILD FOR THIS MAN!!!! THERE’S NOT ONE MAN, WOMAN, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN THAT ISN’T ON THEIR FEET RIGHT NOW! TERRY CHAMBERS POINTS TO THE HALL OF FAME RING, BEFORE TURNING BACK TO AHREN FOURNIER!

(Terry Chambers grabs Ahren Fournier by the hair, no longer tied up, before lifting him off his feet. As Terry throws Ahren into the ring, a replay angle would play on-screen.)

Crowd: TER-RY CHAM-BERS! *clap x5* TER-RY CHAM-BERS! *clap x5*

James Peters: TERRY CHAMBERS SLIDES IN BEHIND AHREN FOURNIER, USING THE ROPES TO LIFT HIM OFF THE GROUND, BEFORE HE THEN BEGINS TO SQUAT DOWN IN THE CORNER; AIMING A FINGER GUN AT AHREN FOURNIER’S HEAD, AS THE SELF-PROCLAIMED CAPTAIN OF VOLTAGE BEGINS TO PUSH HIMSELF OFF HIS FEET! 

Terry Chambers: (off-mic) LOOK AT ME AHREN! LOOK AT ME IN THE EYES BEFORE I KNOCK THEM OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS!

Rich Russillo: AHREN FOURNIER IS BEING BERATED BY TERRY CHAMBERS, AS HE HYPES HIMSELF UP FOR THE ‘RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE’ CLAYMORE KICK, AHREN FOURNIER GETTING BACK UP TO HIS FEET! TERRY CHAMBERS BOUNCES OUT OF THE CORNER AND RUNS FORWARD- 

Persephone: Ahren slides out of the ring. Yawn.

James Peters: Just as Terry Chambers was about to lift up his leg for the ‘Random Act of Violence’, Ahren Fournier slips out of the ring in a way to stop himself from having to deal with the move!

Rich Russillo: Terry Chambers eyes quickly divert to the outside of the ring, having just watched the man trash talking him escape, and of course to his caveman brain, this is an act of cowardice, but to my smart brain, this is an act of defiance. He would be stupid to let Terry hit him with that move, but he’s defiant to risk his reputation to keep going!

Persephone: Quiet.

James Peters: Terry Chambers isn’t allowing Ahren to escape him, though, as he brushes past the referee and exits onto the apron, before dropping to the outside to confront Ahren Fournier- but Ahren cuts him off! The second his feet hit the mat, Ahren grabs him by the neck and throws him stomach-first into the barricade! THEN BACK FIRST INTO THE RING APRON!

Rich Russillo: AHREN FOURNIER BEGINS TO GO BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN DRIVING TERRY INTO THE APRON, STOMACH-FIRST, OR INTO THE APRON, BACK-FIRST, AS HE REPEATEDLY LOOKS TO DO DAMAGE TO THE BODY!!! BARRICADE! APRON! BARRICADE! APRON! AND THEN AHREN DRAGS TERRY AWAY FROM THE APRON, BEFORE HOOKING HIS LEGS! IT TAKES A LOT OUT OF HIM, BUT HE MANAGES TO HIT AN EXPLODER SUPLEX INTO THE BARRICADE, AND IT APPEARS TERRY CHAMBERS IS OUT OF IT!

James Peters: AHREN FOURNIER RISES TO HIS FEET AND GRABS TERRY CHAMBERS BY THE HAIR, LUCKILY, TERRY ISN’T ENTIRELY UNCONSCIOUS, AND AHREN ISN’T CARRYING COMPLETE DEAD WEIGHT! HE HAS ENOUGH ENERGY TO LIFT HIM BACK UP TO HIS FEET, HOWEVER TERRY QUICKLY DROPS DOWN TO HIS STOMACH! AHREN CAN’T KEEP HIM UP!

Referee: (off-mic) Woof.

(Translation: Ay fam, you staying out there hella long. I’m gonna count!)

Jennipurr: (off-mic) Meow.

(Translation: :krabs:!!!)

Crowd: :lupe:

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

James Peters: AND NOW AHREN FOURNIER SLIDES INTO THE RING, LEAVING TERRY OUT ON THE OUTSIDE!

FIVE!

SIX!

SEVEN!

James Peters: TERRY CHAMBERS GRABS ONTO THE APRON!

EIGHT!

James Peters: AND SLIDES INTO THE RING-

NINE!

TEN!!

…

…

…

James Peters: SUCCESSFULLY! TERRY MAKES IT INTO THE RING WHILST HOLDING ONTO HIS RIBS! THE DAMAGE THE BARRICADE AND APRON HAD DONE ARE PLAYING THEIR EFFECT INTO HOW HE’S SIMPLY GETTING INTO THE RING- 

Rich Russillo: WAIT! IT SEEMS AHREN FOURNIER IS TAKING NOTES FROM SOSA’S PLAYBOOK, AS HE LOOKS TO DO WHAT SOSA DID TO MYLES LAST MONTH! THE CURB STOMP AS TERRY ENTERS THE RING AND BREAKS THE COUNT! 

James Peters: BUT TERRY CHAMBERS CATCHES AHREN FOURNIER IN A POWERBOMB POSITION ALMOST INSTANTLY! HE MANAGED TO BOUNCE UP TO HIS FEET, AND AHREN HAS NOWHERE TO GO-

Rich Russillo: BUT TERRY’S BACK GIVES OUT!!!

Crowd: :lupe:!!!!!

Rich Russillo: TERRY’S BACK AND RIBS GO AGAINST HIM, AND HE DROPS AHREN TO THE FLOOR, WHILST FALLING OVER HIMSELF, AS HE USES HIS RIGHT ARM TO TRY AND NUMB THE PAIN!

Crowd: :lupe::lupe:!!!!!!

**SNAP!**

Rich Russillo: AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, AHREN FOURNIER SNAPS THE RING FINGER OF TERRY CHAMBERS IN HALF! HE BREAKS THE RING FINGER, AND NOW TERRY IS IN EVEN MORE PAIN! BUT AHREN IS STILL HOLDING ONTO THE FINGER!

**SNAP!!**

Rich Russillo: AND HE SNAPS IT AGAIN! AHREN FOURNIER SNAPS TERRY CHAMBERS’ FINGER ANOTHER TIME, BEFORE BENDING HIS ENTIRE HAND BACKWARDS AND PLACING IT PALM-DOWN ONTO THE MAT!

James Peters: AHREN FOURNIER IS NOW FOCUSING ON THE LEFT ARM OF TERRY CHAMBERS, AS HE USES JOINT MANIPULATION TO BEND THE ARM BACKWARDS, WHICH IS GOING TO DO MORE THAN JUST MAKE THE ARM ACHE, THIS COULD ENTIRELY BREAK IT! AHREN STANDS THE ARM UP, WITH THE PALM AGAINST THE MAT, BEFORE JUMPING INTO THE AIR AND HITTING A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP, SNAPPING THE ELBOW BACK TO THE GROUND!!!! HE MAY HAVE JUST BROKE TERRY CHAMBERS’ ARM!!!

Rich Russillo: TERRY CHAMBERS JOLTS UP TO HIS KNEES, AS HE HOLDS ONTO HIS LEFT ELBOW, CLEARLY THAT STOMP AND FINGER SNAP HAS DONE SOMETHING TO TERRY’S ARM, AS HE’S COMPLETELY LOSING FOCUS ON AHREN! AHREN STOMPS HIS FOOT IN THE CORNER, AS HE MOCKS WHAT TERRY CHAMBERS WAS DOING EARLIER WITH THE FINGER GUN!

James Peters: AHREN FOURNIER GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AS HE THEN TURNS AROUND AND GOES TO HIT A SUPERKICK STRAIGHT TO TERRY CHAMBERS’ HEAD! HE SWINGS THE LEG, AND IT CONNECTS-

Rich Russillo: BUT EVEN THROUGH THE PAIN, TERRY CHAMBERS MANAGES TO SIDESTEP, AND AHREN FOURNIER MISSES THE KICK! TERRY CHAMBERS GETS BACK TO HIS FEET, BEFORE PLANTING THE SNAP HEADBUTT TO AHREN FOURNIER’S HEAD! ‘MOMENT OF SILENCE’!!!

James Peters: BUT HE DOESN’T GET INTO THE COVER, HE ROCKED HIMSELF WITH THE HEADBUTT, STUMBLING BACK INTO THE CORNER, UNABLE TO PROTECT HIMSELF DUE TO COVERING UP HIS ARM ALREADY, BUT HE’S GOING TO TRY!

Rich Russillo: TERRY CHAMBERS’ ARM GOT THE BETTER OF HIM, BUT HE SOMEHOW MANAGED TO CAPITALIZE, NOW HE HAS A STUNNED HEAD TO WORRY ABOUT, DESPITE BEING IN CONTROL THIS DOESN’T LOOK AMAZING FOR THE MICHIGAN BORN TERRY CHAMBERS, BUT MAYBE IT’S GOING TO MAKE IT LOOK GOOD! HE SPRINTS TOWARDS AHREN…

James Peters: ‘STORYBOOK ENDING’!!!! THE CURB STOMP… ONTO AHREN FOURNIER!!! TERRY CHAMBERS USED AHREN’S FINISHER AGAINST HIM, AND NOW SLIDES INTO THE COVER!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

James Peters: BUT AHREN FOURNIER POPS THE SHOULDER UP JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME, MAYBE HE POWERED OUT OF IT, MAYBE IT WAS INSTINCTUAL, OR MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF LEVERAGE; IT DOESN’T MATTER! AHREN FOURNIER KICKED OUT, AND HE KEPT GOING!

Rich Russillo: AND TERRY CHAMBERS CAN’T BELIEVE IT, USING HIS OWN FINISHER AGAINST THE GOAT, AND HE MANAGED TO KICK OUT OF IT! ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE, THE ENTIRE CROWD IS SHOCKED AT HOW AHREN MANAGED TO DO THAT!

(Terry Chambers crawls with a singular arm towards the turnbuckles, and uses those to his advantage; pulling himself up to his feet.)

James Peters: Terry Chambers’ arm is not working properly, and he knows this, he’s become aware of this, he was barely able to crawl, and climbing to his feet looked even harder. :lupe:

Rich Russillo: Ahren Fournier has probably broken or shattered something in that elbow, and it’s surprising that Terry was able to wrestle through that, nevertheless almost pick up the victory. But right now it might be something hard that he has to overcome to actually keep on going in this match.

Persephone: Weren’t you just calling Ahren the goat a second ago?

Rich Russillo: Who says I was sympathizing? :mackie:

Persephone: :wow:

James Peters: Wait… what on earth is Terry doing? He has his elbow pressed against the turnbuckle… he’s not going to… right?

**CRACK!**

James Peters: OH JESUS! TERRY CHAMBERS JUST POPPED HIS ELBOW BACK INTO PLACE, NOT ONLY IS THAT GOING TO BE PAINFUL, IT’S PROOF FOR AHREN THAT HE HAS A TARGET; BUT IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE HE’S GOING TO BE ABLE TO RECOVER IN TIME TO CAPITALIZE! TERRY CHAMBERS MAKES HIS WAY OVER TO AHREN!

Rich Russillo: ADJUSTING HIS ARM, TERRY CHAMBERS GRABS AHREN BY BOTH OF HIS ARMS, AND HOOKS THEM OVER HIS OWN, PERHAPS LOOKING FOR THAT ‘CHAMBERS OF PAIN’ SIT-OUT BUTTERFLY DDT? CHAMBERS COMPLETELY HOOKS THE ARMS- 

James Peters: BUT AHREN FOURNIER SPINS OUT OF IT, BEFORE HITTING TERRY CHAMBERS WITH A HUGE ROUNDHOUSE KICK INTO THE HEAD, AND TERRY DROPS DOWN TO HIS KNEES! AHREN FOURNIER HAS REGAINED CONTROL!

Rich Russillo: AHREN FOURNIER GOES BEHIND TERRY CHAMBERS, AND GRABS ONTO HIS WRIST, WHILST PULLING HIM OFF THE GROUND FROM HIS SLUMPED POSITION, IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOING TO FINISH HIM OFF HERE AND THERE!

James Peters: AHREN FOURNIER PLACES HIS OTHER, FREE ARM IN FRONT OF TERRY CHAMBERS’ THROAT, BEFORE MAKING A CUTTING MOTION SYMBOLIZING THE END! HE HAS THAT RIPCORD LOCKED IN, ALL HE NEEDS TO DO IS SPIN HIM AROUND AND HIT THAT KNEE STRIKE AND IT’LL BE OVER! HE PUSHES TERRY FORWARD… ‘THE CLIMAX’!!!!

Rich Russillo: BUT TERRY CHAMBERS QUICKLY KICKS AHREN FOURNIER IN THE GUT, AND HOOKS THE ARMS! ‘CHAMBERS OF PAIN’!!! ‘CHAMBERS OF PAIN’!! THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT CONNECTS, AND AHREN ROLLS ONTO HIS BACK! TERRY SLIDES INTO THE COVER, THIS TIME HOOKING ONE OF THE LEGS!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

James Peters: BUT AHREN FOURNIER ONCE AGAIN MANAGES TO KICK OUT AND POP THE SHOULDER UP, AND GET OUT OF IT! THIS TIME IT WASN’T DEBATABLE, THAT WAS HIM CLINGING ONTO DEAR LIFE, POWERING OUT OF THE PINFALL, TERRY WASN’T GOING TO PUT HIM AWAY WITH THAT, AND HE KNOWS THIS!

Rich Russillo: TERRY QUICKLY MOUNTS AHREN FOURNIER, BEFORE HITTING SOME HUGE FOREARM STRIKES TO THE HEAD, TRYING TO MAKE SURE AHREN FOURNIER IS COMPLETELY OUT! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! FIVE FOREARMS TO THE HEAD, BEFORE LOOKING FOR THE FINISH! 

James Peters: AHREN FOURNIER HOOKS THE ARMS ONCE AGAIN, AND BEGINS TO LIFT AHREN OFF OF HIS FEET, HE’S GOING TO GO FOR THAT BUTTERFLY DDT ONCE MORE- BUT AHREN STARTS TO STRIKE TERRY CHAMBERS IN THE RIBS, GOING FOR THAT ESTABLISHED WEAK SPOT!

Rich Russillo: STRIKE AFTER STRIKE AFTER STRIKE, HE’S REPAYING HIM FOR ALL OF THE FOREARMS DELIVERED EARLIER! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIV-

James Peters: BUT THIS DOESN’T MAKE TERRY GIVE UP, INSTEAD, HE BEGINS TO SWING AHREN FOURNIER WHILST IN THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK POSITION! AHREN FOURNIER’S LEGS FLY OFF THE GROUND, AND HE IS COMPLETELY HELPLESS AS THE CROWD BEGIN TO COUNT! 

Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN!!!

James Peters: AND WITH THE TENTH SWING, TERRY CHAMBERS PLANTS AHREN FOURNIER WITH A SECOND ‘CHAMBERS OF PAIN’ DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT! IT’S ALL OVER, AS TERRY LIES INTO THE COVER!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

James Peters: S;DFKJSADF;KSJFD!!!

Crowd: qa;lka;dflskjsa;LKASDL;KSDL;FK;LKSAFDSLK;FDASFD

Rich Russillo: AHREN FOURNIER SAVED THE MATCHUP FOR HIMSELF, AND SAVING HIS HALL OF FAME RING, BY PLACING HIS RING FINGER ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS UP!!! 

James Peters: TERRY CHAMBERS ROLLS OFF OF AHREN FOURNIER, HOLDING HIS HEAD IN NOTHING BUT PURE CONFUSION, AS AHREN FOURNIER MANAGED TO GET THE ROPE BREAK, TERRY DOESN’T UNDERSTAND HOW HE MANAGED TO SURVIVE NOT ONE, BUT TWO OF THOSE DDT’S! AHREN SERIOUSLY IS FIGHTING FOR THAT HALL OF FAME RING, TO GET THIS WIN AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!

Rich Russillo: But Terry isn’t going to dwell on that for much longer, as he reaches for the ropes himself to pick himself back up, before stumbling back over to the corner, where he looks to finish the match once more! Terry Chambers squats down in the corner, as he awaits Ahren Fournier to get up again!

James Peters: Terry Chambers is now waiting for Ahren Fournier to get back up, but Ahren has barely moved. He’s barely moved from the spot he was just in, no matter get up off the ground, and Terry is barely noticing this as he drops his guard. Terry leaves his spot in the corner, as he begins to move his way back over towards Ahren Fournier, possibly going to pick him up from the ground he’s lying on, so he can hit the finishing blow and win this matchup! Terry Chambers bends over and grabs Ahren Fournier by the hair… 

Rich Russillo: BUT HE GETS NOTHING BUT A FOREARM STRIKE TO THE JAW! AHREN FOURNIER IS FIRED UP, PLAYING POSSUM FOR THE MOST PART, AND NOW HE’S LAYING INTO TERRY! FOREARM TO THE HEAD! TO THE JAW! EAR! NOSE! HIS WHOLE FACE IS GOING TO BE BRUISED AND BATTERED AFTER THIS, AS HE REFUSES TO BACK DOWN! 

James Peters: AHREN STRIKES TERRY BACKWARDS TOWARDS THE ROPES, USING THE POINT OF HIS ELBOW NOW TO DRIVE INTO HIS FOREHEAD, AND IT LOOKS TO BE TRULY EFFECTIVE, AS TERRY IS BACKED INTO THE ROPES, AND CLEARLY DAMAGED BY THOSE BRUTAL STRIKES THAT SOUNDED LIKE BULLETS! 

Rich Russillo: BUT NOW AHREN FOURNIER HAS HIM ON THE ROPES, THERE’S ONLY ONE DIRECTION HE CAN ACTUALLY SEND HIM TO, AND THAT’S THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING! AHREN HOOKS THE ARM, BEFORE IRISH WHIPPING TERRY, AND CHASING AFTER HIM! AHREN FOURNIER CLOBBERS TERRY CHAMBERS WITH A HUGE LARIAT TO THE HEAD- 

James Peters: BUT TERRY MANAGES TO DUCK, AND CONTINUES RUNNING! HE HITS THE ROPES BEFORE LEAPING OFF THE GROUND… WITH A ‘RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE’!!!

Rich Russillo: BUT AHREN FOURNIER LIFTS UP HIS LEG AND HITS A PICTURE PERFECT ROUNDHOUSE KICK! HE KICKS HIM DIRECTLY IN THE ARM THAT HE MANAGED TO INJURE EARLIER! TERRY CHAMBERS INSTANTLY DROPS TO THE GROUND AND GRABS AHOLD OF HIS ARM, AND IT APPEARS AHREN FOURNIER MANAGED TO POP IT RIGHT OUT OF THE SOCKET ONCE MORE!

James Peters: AND AHREN NOTICES THIS! HE DOESN’T LET IT SLIP BY HIM, SO HE CONTINUES TO KICK THE ARM! SOCCER KICKS OVER AND OVER TO THE SHOULDER, HE’S NOT GIVING THAT ARM A BREAK, PERHAPS MAKING IT EVEN WORSE FROM WHAT IT WAS BEFORE! AHREN IS PUNISHING TERRY CHAMBERS FOR ALL OF THE OFFENSE HE JUST UNLOADED, I THINK THIS HAS GONE FAR BEYOND SIMPLE LIMB TARGETING! 

Crowd: :lupe::lupe::lupe:!!!

James Peters: YET AHREN FOURNIER ISN’T FINISHED JUST YET, AS HE QUICKLY KNEELS DOWN AND GRABS TERRY’S ARM BY THE CREASE OF THE ELBOW, AND WRAPS HIS LEGS AROUND THE CHEST! HE’S LOOKING FOR THE CROSS ARMBAR, BUT TERRY CHAMBERS IS FIGHTING OUT OF IT!

Rich Russillo: TERRY USES HIS OTHER HAND TO LOCK HIS FINGERS TOGETHER, TRYING HIS HARDEST NOT TO LET AHREN FOURNIER LOCK IN THAT SUBMISSION, WRENCHING HIS ARM BACK AWAY FROM AHREN, WHILST AHREN WRENCHES IT IN A DIRECTION IT SHOULD NOT GO IN!

James Peters: BUT AHREN ISN’T LOOKING FOR A TUG OF WAR CONTEST, INSTEAD, HE’S ACTIVELY LOOKING TO SNAP THAT ARM IN HALF! AHREN BEGINS TO STOMP HIS FOOT INTO TERRY CHAMBER’S SHOULDER! OVER AND OVER AGAIN, IS TERRY’S GRIP GOING TO BE LET GO, OR IS AHREN FOURIER GOING TO BE THE ONE WHO LETS GO?? AHREN CONTINUES TO STOMP, AS TERRY’S GRIP GETS LOOSER AND LOOSER, WHICH IS A CLEAR DANGER FOR HIS ARM! THROUGH ALL THE STOMPS AND TUGGING, THE GRIP ON TERRY’S ARM SUDDENLY BECOMES LOOSE… AS TERRY PUSHES AHREN FOURNIER AWAY AS HE CATCHES ONE OF THE STOMPS! 

Rich Russillo: TERRY CHAMBERS MANAGES TO SLIP OUT OF IT IN THE NICK OF TIME, BUT YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHAT DAMAGE THE GOAT HAS DONE TO THAT ARM REGARDLESS OF WHETHER HE GOT THE ARMBAR LOCKED IN OR NOT, HE STILL MESSED THAT SHOULDER UP! 

James Peters: AHREN SOON FOLLOWS SUIT THOUGH, AS HE GETS TO HIS FEET JUST AFTER TERRY, AND MANAGES TO DODGE A BIG BOOT! ROLL UP! SCHOOL BOY ROLL UP! 

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

THREEE-

Rich Russillo: BUT TERRY MANAGES TO GET OUT OF THE HOLD, KICKING HIS FEET TO PUSH AHREN FOURNIER OFF OF HIM, BEFORE ROLLING BACK UP TO HIS FEET- 

James Peters: ‘RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE’!!!!! 

Crowd: :damn:!!!!!!!!!!

James Peters: FROM AHREN TO TERRY!!!! THIS TIME IT’S AHREN’S TURN TO STEAL THE MOVES, AS HE HITS THAT CLAYMORE KICK RIGHT INTO TERRY’S JAW! HE TURNED HIM INSIDE OUT, AND THIS COULD BE THE END OF THE MATCH! AHREN FOURNIER CRAWLS OVER TOWARDS TERRY, AND HOOKS THE LEG! INTO THE COVER! 

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

James Peters: TERRY CHAMBERS GETS THE SHOULDER UP!

Rich Russillo: BUT AT WHAT COST?? BECAUSE AHREN NOW GRABS HIM BY THE HAIR AND PICKS HIM UP, MAYBE HE ONLY STOLE THE FINISHER JUST TO KNOCK HIM DOWN! AHREN DIRECTS TERRY TOWARDS THE CORNER, BEFORE THROWING HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE RING POST!

**CRACK!**

James Peters: AND AS HE COLLIDES, A LOUD CRUNCHING SOUND IS HEARD! DID TERRY CHAMBER’S SHOULDER JUST COMPLETELY SHATTER??? DID AHREN BREAK TERRY’S ARM??? WE HAD SUSPECTED IT WAS HURT BEFORE, BUT THIS ONE FEELS DIFFERENT! TERRY’S SCREAM FEELS DIFFERENT! AS TERRY ROLLS OUT TO THE OUTSIDE, IT’S CLEAR SOMETHING’S UP! THE REFEREE IS GOING TO ATTEND ON HIM!

Crowd: :lupe:

Persephone: :mjlit:

Rich Russillo: The referee has had to go out of his way to check on Terry Chambers, and usually when that happens, it’s not a very good sign! I won a fight once, and that’s what happened with the other guy; I know from experience this can’t be anything good for Terry.

James Peters: Definitely not, we just heard a crack in his arm! Something must be wrong in Terry’s arm right now! Doctors and officials have come down towards him, as they’re all looking at his arm. They’re all examining whether or not he should be allowed to compete or not, due to the injury that Ahren Fournier has done to the arm of Terry Chambers! 

Doctor: (off-mic) Terry, are you willing to compete? Should we end this now-

Terry Chambers: (off-mic) NO! Don’t… don’t end it.

James Peters: Terry Chambers is now demanding for them to keep the match going, he believes he can win thi- WAIT! NO! AHREN, NOT NOW!

Rich Russillo: AHREN FOURNIER EXITS ONTO THE APRON, BEFORE HITTING A HUGE SUPERKICK TO TERRY CHAMBERS, WHICH SCATTERS ALL OF THOSE ATTENDING TO HIM; LET’S NOT FORGET WE’RE HAVING A MATCH HERE, THEY CAN’T JUST CALL IT OFF! TERRY HIMSELF SAID SO! HE SAID HE WANTED TO COMPETE, THEY CAN’T DO ANYTHING! 

James Peters: AHREN FOURNIER PICKS UP TERRY CHAMBERS, BEFORE DRIVING HIM SHOULDER-FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS! THEY ALL TOPPLE OVER, AND TERRY IS CLEARLY IN EVEN MORE PAIN! AHREN IS LOOKING TO END THIS MATCH RIGHT NOW, AS HE SLIDES HIM BACK INTO THE RING! 

Rich Russillo: AND THERE’S NO ONE THERE TO STOP HIM, TERRY CHAMBERS SPECIFICALLY TOLD THEM TO KEEP THE MATCH GOING, AND THEY DID! AHREN GRABS TERRY BY HIS HAIR AND LIFTS HIM UP, WHILST TERRY TRIES TO FIGHT BACK! CLUBBING FOREARMS TO THE BACK, OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT AHREN FOURNIER ISN’T PHASED BY IT!!!

James Peters: AHREN FOURNIER THEN SUPERKICKS TERRY CHAMBERS DIRECTLY IN THE HEAD! ‘STAR STRUCK’!!! BUT HE CATCHES HIM WITH HIS KNEE! HE COULD HAVE KNOCKED TERRY OUT, BUT INSTEAD HE’S LOOKING TO CONTINUE! HE PUSHES TERRY FORWARD, BEFORE HITTING ANOTHER SUPERKICK! AND ANOTHER! THREE ‘STAR STRUCK’ SUPERKICKS!!!

Rich Russillo: AND IF THAT WASN’T ENOUGH, AHREN FOURNIER THEN STUMBLES BACK INTO THE CORNER, AND PREPARES FOR THE FINISHING MOVE THAT COULD END IT ALL! HE STOMPS HIS FEET INTO THE GROUND, BEFORE CHARGING FORWARD AND LEAPING INTO THE AIR! ‘STORYBOOK ENDING’!!! THE CURB STOMP TO TERRY CHAMBERS! INTO THE COVER!!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Crowd: ‘;ASKJ’;LSFKLJSFD;’KSFD;’LKSDF;LK’!!! 

James Peters: SOMEHOW TERRY CHAMBERS MANAGES TO POP THE SHOULDER UP, WITH AHREN’S HALL OF FAME RING ON THE LINE, TERRY CHAMBERS POPS THE *WORKING* SHOULDER UP, BUT MAN, YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE OTHER ONE! 

Persephone: A whole lot of explosions.

Rich Russillo: Ahren Fournier crawls back to the corner, with the energy he has left, as Terry lies there unable to properly move! Ahren uses the ropes to stand back up, and he looks to go for the stomp again… but he stops? Why did he stop?

James Peters: Ahren Fournier is slowly approaching Terry Chambers, instead of hitting a second Curb Stomp which could win him the match… OH GOD, NOT THE ARM! HE GRABS THE ARM AND BEGINS TO LIFT TERRY TO HIS KNEES, BEFORE BENDING HIS ARM BACK INTO THE MAT! PALM RESTING AGAINST THE GROUND, AHREN IS GOING TO BREAK THE ARM SOME MORE!

Rich Russillo: BUT HE’S NOT DOING IT LIKE LAST TIME! AHREN FOURNIER GOES TO THE CORNER, AND STOMPS HIS FEET INTO THE MAT… OH MY GOD! NO! NO! AHREN FOURNIER CHARGES FORWARD!

Crowd: NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

James Peters: ‘STORYBOOK ENDING’ STRAIGHT TO THE SHOULDER! BOTH TERRY’S HEAD AND SHOULDER COLLIDE WITH THE GROUND, KNOCKING HIM OUT, AND MAKING SURE THAT ARM IS BROKEN IF IT WASN’T BEFORE!!!!

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Rich Russillo: AHREN FOURNIER COULD HAVE JUST ENDED TERRY CHAMBERS’ ARM FOR GOOD, AS HE HIT HIS FINISHING ‘STORYBOOK ENDING’ DIRECTLY *TO* THE SHOULDER, WITH THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE TO THE HEAD! AND WITH THAT, AHREN FOURNIER PUSHES TERRY CHAMBERS ONTO HIS BACK, AND HOOKS THE LEG!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… “THE GOAT”… AHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN FOUUUUUUUUUUURNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!

(‘How You Like That’ by BLACKPINK hits the speakers as Ahren Fournier rolls off of a broken, and battered Terry Chambers, as he struggles to come back up to his feet. However, after a few seconds of resting and breathing, he uses the ropes to pull himself back up to his feet. He stands in the center of the ring, and the referee raises his arms; that’s when the boo’s, and the realization settles in. Ahren Fournier raises his arms, and the crowd absolutely hates that he came out on top.)

James Peters: I am… speechless! Earlier on in the match we saw what appeared to be an elbow injury for Terry Chambers, one he managed to seemingly solve by popping it back into place, and he kept going. But one swift kick to the shoulder later, and the match completely changed for the worse in Terry’s case. Ahren was able to capitalize, use his surroundings to further injure the shoulder, and as we just saw… Curb Stomp Terry Chamber’s arm straight into the mat – which at its core, is pure wooden planks.

Rich Russillo: Heading into this week, Ahren Fournier stated he was going to imprint his Hall of Fame ring into Terry’s face, he said he was going to do so much to him, but nothing compared to what he actually did. Whether it was intentional or not, Ahren Fournier managed to rip away the momentum Terry Chambers had in this match with a snap of his fingers; and that’s what true goats do.

(Ahren Fournier exits the ring through the ropes, as he approaches the podium he had placed his Hall of Fame ring onto, as Jennipurr stands there waiting for him. With a smug grin on his face, he grabs the Hall of Fame ring, and raises it into the air, before slowly putting it down onto his finger.) 

James Peters: And that’s what they were fighting for. That’s the stakes for this match, and we now know that Ahren does deserve that ring after all. He was willing to do all of this deplorable shit just to keep that around his finger, the ring that means so much more than just a piece of jewelry. That’s the ring that cements him as one of the all time greats, and Ahren Fournier can truly be known… as the GOAT.

(Ahren Fournier would begin to walk up the ramp, as he extends his arms to the side of his body, as pyro goes off behind him. Continuing to cement his legacy here in EAW, cementing himself as the self-proclaimed GOAT, Ahren Fournier walks up the ramp, whilst medical attention is seen treating Terry Chambers. With the two differences in atmosphere, and the crowd unable to process what had just happened, Pain For Pride XIV fades out to commercial break.)

(A commercial for free beta Discord banners featuring Jake Smith begins to air: “can you try i couldn’t”) 

(The scene opens up backstage, and the fans begin to cheer as the first thing shown is a focused MITSUBACHI in his locker room, getting ready for his big Interwire Championship match tonight. MITSUBACHI is looking at the mirror, giving himself words of encouragement when suddenly a knocking sound is heard on the door, which obviously catches MITSUBACHI’s attention.)

MITSUBACHI: Not right now, please. I have an Interwire Championship tonight I have to prepare for, I need to stay focused. 

(The knocking doesn’t stop. Instead it just gets louder, which annoys MITSUBACHI.)

MITSUBACHI: I don’t want to be interviewed right now, goddamn it! 

(MITSUBACHI walks away from the mirror, and he’s frustrated knowing someone has the nerve to bother him while he’s preparing for one of the biggest matches of his career. MITSUBACHI walks up to the door, ready to tell off whoever it is constantly knocking, but when he opens the door, a more puzzled look appears on his face.)

Komatsu Ogawa: MITSUUUUU!!!  

(MITSUBACHI is confused, because for as long as he’s been back Komatsu Ogawa has been nowhere to be seen. Ogawa on the other hand looks as happy as always, excited to finally be able to talk to MITSUBACHI again.)

MITSUBACHI: :wtf: Where have you been? Why are you here? How did you get here? 

Komatsu Ogawa: Oh come on, did you really think I’d miss the biggest match of your career? You’re going to become Interwire Champion tonight! There’s no way I was going to miss you decimate Bronson Daniels and end his title reign! He doesn’t deserve that Championship when there’s someone as talented as you on the roster who has yet to become Champion. To answer your question though, I was in Japan working on my craft, trying to be like the greatest Elitist ever which is you of course. It’s not easy being as amazing as you MITSU, but I’ve been doing everything I could just so I could one day be even a fraction as talented as you! I’ve been competing in the most barbaric, most dangerous, most terrifying matches possible to show how strong and resilient I am. I’ve been in regular deathmatches, barbed wire deathmatches, I mean I would’ve been here sooner but the anus explosion deathmatches really took a toll on me. But man I’m just so excited to see you, I’m excited to be here. I’M JUST SO EXCITED WOOO, DO YOU FEEL THE ADRENALINE?!? DO YOU FEEL THE HEAT RAISING INSIDE OF YOU?!? ARE YOU READY TO BEAT BRONSON?!???

MITSUBACHI: Anus what :comeagain:???? Actually nevermind that but are you okay? Why are you so excited, you’re kind of scaring me.

Komatsu Ogawa: I thought you’d never ask, man. See usually the loser of Anus Explosion deathmatches take weeks, even months to recover. It’s probably the most dangerous match type there is after all, but thanks to Lipovitan D11 my anus healed up in weeks! But wait folks, there’s more to it! It keeps you focused, it keeps you energized. Without Lipovitan D11, I don’t even think I’d be here right now! I’d probably be out still recovering from my injuries, but now look at me! I’m better than ever! The blood never stops pumping and with this man you can not only beat Bronson and become the greatest Interwire Champion ever but you can compete in every single match on every single day of the week with just one bottle! Listen Mitsu I know you’ve been lost without me and I heard you in here trying to focus and what not-

MITSUBACHI: How did you manage to hear that :dahell: 

Komatsu Ogawa: That’s just the thing man, it helps heighten ALL of your senses! You’ll know Bronson’s next move before *he* even knows it. This stuff right here is what helped my great uncle protect the leaf village from an evil man with red hair and piercings! Lipovitan D11 is so powerful, you have no idea how useful it’ll be! Bronson Daniels is doomed, all you have to do is follow my lead and before you know it you’ll be on top of the world! It starts with the Interwire Championship, then the World Championships, then before you know it this company will BELONG to the great MITSUBACHI! This is the perfect plan! Once you drink this it’s only a matter of time until there’s statues made in your honor! There’s no way this could go wrong, that title is yours! I labeled it as MITSU’s Secret Stuff just so no one knows what it is and can use it for their advantage like you’re about to do.

(MITSUBACHI can see the excitement on Ogawa’s face, but he’s still pretty skeptical about what he’s saying, and extremely confused.)

MITSUBACHI: Well first of all we have cameras all over us and everyone in the world is probably watching this. And second of all I’m not drinking that stuff! My match is tonight and I don’t even know what’s in it! What if it gets me sick or something? I can’t do that. I’ll be fine. I’m going to win the Interwire Championship, I don’t need Lipo-whatever that is!

Komatsu Ogawa: See I knew you would say that, but come on man you need it. This is the biggest match of your career, we can’t go around taking chances just because you don’t know the ingredients! You’re fighting for the Interwire Championship, and who knows if the higher ups will grant you another opportunity if you were to come up short? This company screws you over all the time because they know how great you are! You can’t let them get what they want again! You’re the great MITSUBACHI, and I’m here to do whatever I can to make sure YOU get the success you deserve! Having Lipovitan D11 is almost like having superpowers! No, it’s better! There’s nothing like Lipovitan D11 on the planet! You have to trust me!

(MITSUBACHI actually begins to think about what Ogawa is saying, because if there’s one thing he’s right about, it’s that this is Pain for Pride and he’s in a Championship match, and you never know when you’ll get another opportunity like that.)

Komatsu Ogawa: This is Pain for Pride! IT’S PAIN FOR PRIDE MITSU AND THIS DRINK HERE WILL HELP YOU INSERT THE PAIN AND FEEL THE PRIDE WOOOO! YOU CAN DO IT MITSU! COME ON! I’ve slipped this into the drinks of anyone I saw with any Mitsu gear on so even the Mitsumaniacs can feel the same thing I am and the same thing you will once you take a sip!

MITSUBACHI: :comeagain: Why would you do that? But fine. Fine, I’ll take just a sip and you better not be wrong about this either Ogawa. I’m trusting you.

Komatsu Ogawa: Oh come on man, have I ever led you down the wrong path before?

MITSUBACHI: I’m just going to pretend you didn’t ask me that. Just give me the drink please.

(Ogawa passes MITSUBACHI a bottle that reads “MITSU’s secret stuff”. MITSUBACHI shakes his head and reluctantly takes a sip of the Lipovitan D11, and immediately after drinking it you can see him feel the same thing Thanos did after gaining the last infinity stone.)

MITSUBACHI:

Komatsu Ogawa: DO YOU FEEL IT YET MAN? DO YOU FEEL THAT ENERGY INSIDE OF YOU? THE LIPOVITAN D11!?!?

MITSUBACHI: I FEEL IT MAN, I FEEL IT! WOOOO I’M HYPE! THIS IS GREAT! THIS IS AMAZING! I FEEL INCREDIBLE! I WILL WIN! THERE’S NO WAY BRONSON CAN BEAT ME TONIGHT! THERE’S NO WAY ANYONE CAN BEAT ME EVER! NOT LIKE THIS! I’M UNSTOPPABLE NOW! NOBODY CAN STOP THE GREAT MITSUBACHI!

Komatsu Ogawa: THATS RIGHT BROTHER WITH LIPOVITAN D11 NO ONE CAN STOP YOU! THAT INTERWIRE TITLE IS YOURS AND SO IS EVERYTHING ELSE IN THIS COMPANY! SO BRONSON WHAT YOU GONNA DO MAN WHEN MITSU AND ALL HIS MITSUMANIACS RUN WILD ON YOU?!? 

MITSUBACHI: YEA WHAT HE SAID!!! WITH LIPOVITAN D11 I AM IN THE BEST SHAPE OF MY LIFE!! LETS FUCKING GO WOOOOO!!! 

(The commotion continues as MITSUBACHI and Ogawa begin trading chops, trying to get each other as hype as they possibly can while the camera man slowly backs out of the locker room, probably scared for his life. From there the camera begins to fade away from the area.)

( The camera cuts back to the Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles, California where the crowd is hyped for the next match. Suddenly the match graphic appears on screen as the crowd erupts into cheers for what is about to come. )

( DING! DING! DING! )

Gina Romano: The following contest is CHAINED FURY II and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!!!

Gina Romano: In this match both men will be chained together in the ring by the wrists!! Around the ring will be a chain cage! Inside that will be chain ropes! The turnbuckle pads have all been removed! Also… all the chains shall be wrapped within barbed wire!!!

Gina Romano: AND IT IS FOR THE VACANT EAW NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

( Metallica – Sad But True (Instrumental) hits!!! )

( Bright lights shine across the entire arena as Ronan Malosi walks out to the stage holding a wad of cash. He shows off his money to the crowd as he makes his way to the ring prepared to compete in this championship match. As he opens the door to the cage he accidentally cuts himself on a barbed wire cage. )

Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) What the fuck that hurt. Nah I’m not going to wrestle in this thing.

Referee: (off-mic) Oh yes you are :ufdup:.

Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) :noah:

Deadprez: Last year at Pain for Pride Ronan Malosi interrupted the EAW Hall of Famers. This year he has the opportunity to become one himself by winning the EAW New Breed Championship!

Eve: :whoa: Let’s not get ahead of ourselves Dead. That may indeed happen but this would only be the first step of many to get there. However, it is indeed an important step as many felt that Ronan Malosi’s short Interwire Championship reign was rather underwhelming and maybe with a second chance at a title he will have better results this time.

Gavin Kirkland: What is underwhelming is that I don’t see Alissa Brady out here. Imagine having her out here with all this barbed wire! Just imagine the potential for her to get all caught up in it with the barbs tearing off all her clothes! :ahh:

(Ronan Malosi is seen glaring at Gavin Kirkland from within the cage as if he knows what he was talking about.)

( ‘The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ from Mick Gordon hits!!! )

( Ryan Wilson emerges onto the stage sipping from a “World’s Best GM” coffee mug as he makes his way down to the ring. In his other hand is a long black package that he sets down in the ring as he enters the cage. As he gets there he opens the cage and hops inside. He throws the coffee mug at Ronan’s head scalding him with piping hot coffee leaving burns on his bald head. )

Ronan Malosi: (off-mic)  AYO!!

( Ronan Malosi suddenly lunges forward grabbing the referee’s shirt to wipe the hot coffee, blood, and glass shards from his forehead.)

Deadprez: Well as Gina announced this match has no disqualifications. And also it hasn’t even started yet. That being said I enjoy watching the referee fuck around with Ronan.

Gavin Kirkland: You would like watching that.

Deadprez: #PainForPrideMonth :rainbow_flag: In all seriousness though Ryan Wilson has never won a championship ever in EAW despite his long career. 

Gavin Kirkland: And he never will :wow:

Eve: Well tonight he is looking to change that by defeating his former tag team partner Ronan Malosi for the New Breed Championship. Last week on Showdown Ronan beat the shit out of him so you have to imagine that Ryan is looking for some payback tonight on the grandest stage of them all! He will humiliate Ronan in front of the world!

Deadprez: Not if Ronan has anything to say about it. These men are going to have to bleed if they want the gold! Let’s get it!

Eve: Well this feud was supposed to be over a long time ago. I thought it ended several times but it just kept going and seemingly is never ending. I thought about hyping this up as the grand conclusion of their rivalry but at this point I don’t even know if I can believe that. So I guess we will just say this could very well be the concluding chapter in the legendary Feud of the Year tier Ryan Wilson vs. Ronan Malosi rivalry!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Hopefully the rivalry ends with a happy ending. Aka Alissa leaving both of these bozos for me!!! :blessed:

Deadprez: Ronan is a very mysterious presence here in EAW. He rarely posts videos even if his opponents post videos. So ultimately we don’t really know that much about him. He didn’t even post any this whole week even for Pain for Pride!

Eve: That’s not true Dead he posted several videos but then Ryan Wilson would post immediately after and sometimes two or three more before Ronan even posted his next one. But the Ronan ones were there if you looked hard enough I promise you.

Gavin Kirkland: Was Alissa in any of those videos? Wait don’t tell me you will ruin the surprise!

( Ronan Malosi and Ryan Wilson glare at each other with intense hatred from across the ring as the referee is shown holding the EAW New Breed Championship high in the ring showing the whole world the prize they are about to fight for. )

Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING IS FOR THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP AND IT IS SET FOR ONE FALL!!! CHAINED FURY II!!! Introducing first… one of the challengers from Cape Town, South Africa but residing in Long Island, New York weighing in tonight at 280 pounds…

Gina Romano: “THE HEIR OF HOT TAKES”

Gina Romano: RONANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN MALOSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ronan Malosi:

Gina Romano: And his opponent… the other challenger… from Montréal, Québec, Canada weighing in at 220 pounds…

Gina Romano: “MISTER Wilson”

Gina Romano: RYANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN WILSONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Both men are shown standing in the ring looking at each other.)

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: THIS IS AWESOME! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

( DING! DING! DING! )

Ryan Wilson:

(The referee begins to remove the EAW New Breed Championship from the ring as the barbed wire chains are attached to the wrists of both men.)

Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) Ow, not so tight!!!

Ryan Wilson: (off-mic) I’m sure you aren’t used to tight considering Aliss-

Deadprez: We are underway as Ronan Malosi charges in at Ryan Wilson and slaps the shit out of him! Wilson falls back as Malosi is unloading on his opponent! Wilson shoves Malosi away… but Malosi charges in with a Big Boot kicking Ryan’s head off! 

(Ronan Malosi stops the referee as he is shown trying to remove the New Breed Championship from the ring.)

Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) I will take this! :russ:

Eve: Ronan Malosi smashes the New Breed Championship across the skull of Ryan Wilson who has been busted wide open here tonight! Ronan on the assault from the getgo doing intense damage! He doesn’t want this match to last long!

Gavin Kirkland: Damn that ten foot chain tying them together is really LONG. When I chain my bitches to me I make sure to keep them up close and personal. Maybe I should try that out with Alissa she is probably backstage all by herself and lonely :mjlit:

Deadprez: Nah you staying right here. Just as Ryan Wilson is not going anywhere as Ronan Malosi stomps down hard on his throat making him cough up blood. Ronan now choking the life out of Ryan using that barbed wire chain connecting them as Wilson begins bleeding from the neck as well the pieces of barbed wire begin to puncture into his skin. Ronan now picking Ryan up and he throws him back first into the barbed wire chain cage! Ryan screams out in pain as he falls off and falls back into the corner holding his back in pain. Ronan charges in with hard thrusts into the corner as he drives Ryan into those unprotected turnbuckle chains! Ronan taking full advantage of all the weaponry available to him in this match! 

Eve: Ronan Malosi bashes Ryan Wilson’s face into the unprotected chain of the turnbuckle causing Ryan to collapse in the corner as Ronan pushes his boot into Ryan’s face stomping away and crushing the easily breakable bones of his face and nose. Ronan looks out to the crowd as he raises up his arms for all to worship his dominance.

Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) :blessed: !!!

Gavin Kirkland: Ronan Malosi now lifting up Ryan Wilson out of the corner before immediately dropping him with a powerful Discus Lariat. Ryan getting dominated early on in the match. Like I said he will never win a title in EAW! He should quit and give up at this point! 

Deadprez: Ronan Malosi turns back towards Ryan Wilson as he locks in a headlock wrapping the chain connecting them around Ryan’s neck. Ryan falls down to his knees as Ryan tries to shove him off of him to keep fighting. Ryan fighting back now throwing his weight back into the chain so that it cuts into Ronan’s skin as much as his own. It looks like Ryan is making headway as he forces Ronan to release the hold and falls over on the ground. Ryan yanks the chain pulling Ronan back towards him before punching him hard in the jaw! Ronan collapses to the mat! Ryan with the cover!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Eve: No Ronan Malosi kicks out! That would have been unfortunate if he had been pinned after only one punch. Ryan Wilson will have to do more work however to win this match it would seem. Ryan pulls Ronan back up but immediately Ryan kicks him with some hard foreward kicks to the guts knocking Ronan over before hitting a leaping Guillotine Leg Drop across Ronan’s throat. Ryan back into the cover.

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Gavin Kirkland: Kick out with authority by Ronan Malosi! See he may have almost taken a three count before but that was probably out of shock as much as anything. He still has a lot left in the tank!

Deadprez: Ryan Wilson immediately hops back on that assault grind punching the shit out of Ronan Malosi’s head with all kinds of style. You know he is styling on him and Ryan is relentless up in here. Sometimes I think that Ryan just likes causing pain to a motherfucker like Ronan but Ronan is gonna take them shots to the skull and make a comeback like only real ones do. Ronan throws Ryan off of him and gets back up to his feet. But a Superkick to the face from Ryan Wilson! But Ronan doesn’t go all the way down! So Ryan Wilson runs the ropes… RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO RONAN WHO IS ON HIS KNEE! OH SHIT THAT BE A WHOLE LOTTA KNEE!

Eve: No! Ronan Malosi counters catching the running Ryan Wilson as he charges towards him and throws him backwards with a Wheelbarrow Slam! What force! What intensity! Ronan taking Ryan down as he starts to roll out of the ring but unfortunately for him it is a barbed wire cage and he just rolls into the barbed wire and hurts himself. Ronan pulls Ryan back up and immediately takes him down with a quick Suplex before transitioning across into the cover.

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

Gavin Kirkland: Ryan Wilson gets the shoulder up! Ronan Malosi grabs Ryan’s arm and begins to wrap the steel chain around it cutting into his limb! The blood begins to flow from out of that arm as Ryan bites into Ronan’s fingers to force him to let go and unravel the chain. But Ronan just grabs Ryan by the hair and slams him face first into the exposed turnbuckle chain! Ryan left unconscious and bleeding out on that cold unforgiving steel as Ronan backs up… he charges in… STINGER SLLASH TO THE CORNER!!!

Deadprez: But Ryan Wilson moves out the way faster than me when my ex showed up last night. Bitches be wildin’. But that is unrelated to this match. Ryan moves and Ronan runs head first into the exposed steel turnbuckle! Damn he really hurt himself with that one and he is all tied up in the turnbuckle and Ryan just yanks him back with the chain causing Ronan’s arm to nearly be torn off with the intensity of that yank. Ryan is a savage out here and he grabs Ronan from behind as he gets up and connects with a Dragon Sleeper Reverse DDT. He keeps the Dragon Sleeper applied after the move connects before yanking his opponent back up and flipping Ronan up and over him with a Dragon Sleeper Suplex! Ryan is a true dragon in this thing and he is go-

Eve: Ronan Malosi out of nowhere connects with the Cyclone Crash!!!

Deadprez: NO! Ryan Wilson moves out of the way and the move does not in fact connect! Ryan maneuvers himself around behind Ronan Malosi and whips him in the back with the barbed wire chain! Ronan turns around with a pained look upon his face as Ryan tries to hit him with a backhand slap. But Ronan ducks! Ronan picks up Ryan Wilson and drives him down with a thunderous Running Power Slam! Damn! Sometimes it is easy to forget just how strong Ronan actually is! Ronan grabs Ryan by the back of his neck yanking him up before throwing him back with a Belly to Belly Suplex with Ryan landing back first against the side of the barbed wire chain cage. Ryan peels himself off the barbed wire as his back is now covered in scars and blood and cuts. I hope he got his tetanus shot! That barbed wire looks a little rusty to me!

Gavin Kirkland: Neither of these men appear to be rusty however as Ronan Malosi walks across the ring and picks up the long black package that Ryan Wilson brought into the ring earlier for his entrance. He appears to be confused as he reaches down and begins to unzip it… but Ryan is back up and punches Ronan hard in the face causing him to drop it! Ryan smashes Ronan’s head into the cage as Ronan goes down holding his sliced up cut face. Ryan grabs the long black package as he begins to unzip it himself. What could it be?!?!?

Eve: Ryan Wilson pulls out a barbed wire chain covered hockey stick! Ryan raises the weapon high above his head as he prepares to go in on Ronan and beat the shit out of him! Ryan raises the hockey stick ready to strike.

*SMASH*

Eve: RYAN WILSON BREAKS THE HOCKEY STICK OVER RONAN MALOSI’S SKULL! THE HOCKEY STICK IS BENT BY THE IMPACT CRUSHING RONAN! RYAN BASHES RONAN’S BRAINS IN AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! RYAN TAKING OUT YEARS OF FRUSTRATION ALL CAUSED BY RONAN ON RONAN!!! RYAN HAS LOST CONTROL AND HE IS GOING TO KILL RONAN WITH THAT HOCKEY STICK! IT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY BROKEN AS HAS BEEN RONAN’S BRAINS!!! RONAN COLLAPSES TO THE MAT COMPLETELY DECEASED!!!

Deadprez: Ryan Wilson throws the hockey stick down on the mat as he begins to stomp on the unconscious Ronan Malosi! Go for a pin my man! You got this thing won! But all Ryan cares about is delivering pain to Ronan! He pulls up Ronan and kicks him hard in the gut before taking him down with an electrifying DDT! Ryan now goes for the cover!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

Eve: Ronan Malosi just barely kicks out! I thought that was it! Ryan Wilson pulls Ronan Malosi up and grabs him around the head! Looking for a DDT! He drags Ronan over to the remains of that hockey stick as he is about to do something very Canadian and very destructive to Ronan. Ronan is in position and Ry-

Gavin Kirkland: NO! RONAN MALOSI COUNTERS TOSSING RYAN WILSON UP OVER HIS SHOULDERS WITH THE BACK TOSS ONTO THE BROKEN HOCKEY STICK! THE WOOD IMPALING INTO THE BACK OF RYAN WILSON AS HE SCREAMS OUT IN PAIN! HOLY SHIT HE JUST GOT STABBED OUT HERE AND IS BLEEDING OUT IN THE RING!!!

(Ronan Malosi is shown smiling sadistically down at the pain that Ryan Wilson is suffering as he reaches down and violently yanks the wood out from the back of Wilson.)

Deadprez: This sick freak Ronan Malosi just enjoying the pain of Ryan Wilson and he is completely deranged! But he is not done!!! Ronan pulls up Ryan and drops him with a Snap DDT onto the barbed wire chain hockey stick on the mat! The referee now trying to get in there to check on Ryan but there is not much he can do in a situation like this. This match will end when we reach a pinfall or submission… not even death can stop this match!

Gavin Kirkland: What if both of them die before a pinfall or submission?

Eve: Then the match will never end :wow:

Persephone: :noah:

Deadprez: Ronan Malosi suddenly yanks the chain dragging Ryan Wilson’s lifeless body across the ring leaving a red stain on the mat as he drags him towards the corner. Ronan makes his way up to the top rope as Ryan is down there right below him.

Ronan Malosi: You are a sad pathetic little man Ryan! Now I will crush you like a bug under my boot! Hahaha!

Eve: RONAN MALOSI LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A SWANTON BOMB!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: But Ryan Wilson moves out of the way!!! Ryan showing signs of life despite all the blood loss! Ronan Malosi failed once again!!! Ryan now whipping the fallen Ronan with that steel barbed wire chain connecting them as he is relentlessly keeping Ronan down! But Ronan dodges the chain as he gets back up… Ryan goes in…

Deadprez: RYAN WILSON CONNECTS WITH THE MIC DROP ON RONAN MALOSI! THE FINISHER HAS CONNECTED! THE MATCH IS OVER!!!

Eve: RYAN WILSON GOES FOR THE COV-

Gavin Kirkland: Wait why did he stop?!?!

(Suddenly Ryan Wilson and the entire audience turns to look up at the top of the ramp where a woman has appeared, bringing out an old woman in a wheelchair.)

Eve: Wait, is that? It’s Alissa Brady and she has brought Ryan Wilson’s mother up to the stage tied up on a wheelchair! What is this dumb bitch doing out here with that kind old lady?!?!?

Gavin Kirkland: Now watch your language Eve! Alissa Brady is a blond goddess! :blessed: And that is no kind old lady! That is Magdalena Wilson one of the foulest nastiest old hags that I have ever met! 

Deadprez: Well if you remember your EAW history Magdalena Wilson was present at ringside for the first ever Chained Fury match and it appears that she has been brought back for the second. However, this time she is here unwillingly and her mouth has been gagged by Alissa Brady.

Alissa Brady: (off-mic) Hello Ryan. Please be kind to my sexy babe Ronan! I plan to put him to work later on tonight so try not to take all of his energy will you?!? <3

Ryan Wilson: (off-mic) :wtf:

Eve: Ryan Wilson ignores Alissa Brady instead going for the pin on Ronan Malosi but with the distraction it may be too late!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

Alissa Brady: (off-mic) I wouldn’t do that Ryan! 

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

Gavin Kirkland: Ryan Wilson really said fuck this bitch.

(Suddenly Magdalena Wilson manages to break through the gag on her mouth.)

Magdalena Wilson: (off-mic) Do not worry about me! Do what must be done!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

Gavin Kirkland: But Ronan Malosi kicks out!!! Alissa Brady is not happy that Ryan Wilson did not listen to her.

Alissa Brady: (off-mic) Do you know who I am? Do you know what position I hold at Applebee’s? I am management bitch and you will do what I say!

(Ryan Wilson is shown giving Alissa Brady the middle finger in the ring as she watches on looking so appalled.)

(Alissa Brady grabs the handles of Magdalena Wilson’s wheelchair and runs full speed towards the side of the stage.)

Eve: NO! STOP! SHE DOESN’T DESERVE THIS!!!

(Alissa Brady keeps on running even faster as she shoves Magdalena Wilson in her wheelchair off the side of the stage! She goes flying nearly 20 feet in the air as her wheelchair soars off the stage before crashing down below.)

Deadprez: HOLY SHIT! WHAT THE HELL?!?!? SHE KILLED HER! MAGDALENA WILSON IS LIKE 150 YEARS OLD AND SHE JUST GOT DROPPED LIKE 150 FEET OFF THE STAGE! SHE IS LYING IN A POOL OF BLOOD DOWN THERE WE NEED HELP OUT HERE! THIS IS A WOMAN WHO SURVIVED COVID! SHE SURVIVED THE SPANISH FLU! SHE SURVIVED THE BLACK DEATH! BUT SHE MAY NOT SURVIVE THE PLAGUE THAT IS RONAN MALOSI AND EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH HIM!!!

(Officials are shown coming out from backstage to check on Magdalena Wilson as Ryan Wilson is shown trying to leave the cage. However, he is unable to as he is chained to Ronan Malosi in the ring. Ryan tries to break the chain so he can go check on his mother but there is no escape.)

Eve: Ronan Malosi is back up in the ring as well!

Gavin Kirkland: I have been up since Alissa came out as well. :mjlit:

Eve: Sit back down.

Ronan Malosi: Hehehe classic Ryan Wilson! Trying to run away I see! What a little pussy! I know that is the only woman in your life unlike me who scores with hot blond bombshells on the daily! Don’t worry you will have plenty of time to check up on her later when you go back to your home… in yo momma’s basement! :mjlol2:

Deadprez: Ryan Wilson slaps the shit out of Ronan Malosi who is dropped down to his knees from the force of the slap! Ryan has had enough of Ronan’s shit and he hits him with the backhand to put him in his place! RYAN WHIPS RONAN ACROSS THE FACE WITH THAT BARBED WIRE STEEL CHAIN! Ryan whips him again and again causing severe lacerations across the face of Ronan! Ronan’s face covered in blood making it almost look as if he is crying blood which honestly he might be. Ryan wraps the chain around Ronan’s neck! He is strangling him out here and he is going to kill him! Ryan may be going too far but Ronan has made this even more personal than it was before! Ryan climbs up to the top rope as he is dragging the strangled Ronan up with him! Holy shit he is trying to hang Ronan using that chain! This is going too far!

Alissa Brady: (off-mic) NO STOP! I LOVE THAT MAN! ONLY I GET TO CHOKE HIM!

Eve: Well that was definitely too much information but Ryan Wilson has to consider if Ronan Malosi actually deserves this… Does anyone deserve this?!?!?!

Gavin Kirkland: Ayo did she really just say that? Imma need her to repeat that…

Deadprez: Wait Ryan Wilson suddenly drops Ronan Malosi from off the top turnbuckle! Ronan lands face first as Ryan is perched up high! He leaps off the top… We rarely seen Ryan using high flying moves but for Pain for Pride it looks like he will make an exception!

Eve: RYAN WILSON OFF THE TOP WITH A SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!! HOLY SHIT WHAT PERFECT FORM!!!

Gavin Kirkland: HE GETS ALL OF IT! RYAN WILSON CONNECTS WITH THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS ON RONAN MALOSI! RYAN WITH THE COVER! HE IS GOING TO DO IT! HE IS GOING TO WIN HIS FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: WAIT WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!!??!?! AT THE TOP OF THE CAGE?!?!?!

Gavin Kirkland: IT’S ALISSA BRADY!!! OH MY GOD SHE’S ON TOP OF THE CAGE! THAT’S DANGEROUS! SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE HER DOWN AND PROTECT HER!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eve: ALISSA BRADY LEAPS OFF THE CAGE TO BREAK UP THE PIN!!! ALISSA FLYING DOWN FROM ABOVE BUT WILL SHE MAKE IT IN TIME?!?!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: NO!!! RYAN WILSON MOVED OUT OF THE WAY!!! ALISSA CAME CRASH LANDING DOWN UPON RONAN MALOSI INSTEAD!!!

(Ronan Malosi is shown coughing up blood from the impact of his girlfriend Alissa Brady landing down upon him from the top of the cage. A replay is also shown.)

Eve: Ryan Wilson grabs Alissa Brady by the hair and now she is trapped in the cage as well! He slams her face first into the cage as he grinds her facial features all over the barbed wire chains!

Gavin Kirkland: NO STOP! Well… at least her face isn’t really the attractive part… I MEAN NO THIS IS CRUEL!!!

Deadprez: Ryan Wilson grabs Alissa Brady pulling her face off the cage barbs as he drags her back into the ring… 

Eve: RYAN WILSON DROPS ALISSA BRADY WITH THE MIC DROP!!! HOLY SHIT HE JUST KILLED HER!!! HE KILLED HER LIKE SHE KILLED HIS MOTHER!!!

(The crowd is shown giving a standing ovation for the death of Alissa Brady as Ryan Wilson gives them a proud bow inside the ring.)

Gavin Kirkland: Ryan Wilson now back to pin Ronan Malosi as he looks to capitalize on Alissa Brady’s massive failure by handing Ronan even more Ls than he has taken both tonight and in life!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

Eve: Ronan Malosi somehow kicks out! MY GOD HOW THE FUCK DID HE DO THAT?!?!?! MY MIND IS BLOWN! I THOUGHT WE HAD A NEW CHAMPION!

Gavin Kirkland: Ryan Wilson is truly incapable of winning a championship in EAW. He is so cursed that even when he hits moves that could end Hall of Famers he can’t even get the pin on Ronan Malosi. He could bash Ronan’s brains in with a sledgehammer until all that is left is mush and Ronan would still kick out just because it is Ryan pinning him.

Deadprez: Well I don’t know about all that Gavin but Ryan Wilson is not yet giving up! But he is wondering what else it is going to take to put Ronan down! Ryan pulls Ronan up in the corner and delivers a punch to Ronan Malosi who I am not sure is even aware of where he is for that punch to register as an assault on his person. Wait! Ronan fires back with a punch of his own! Ryan with a back chop to the chest! Ronan fires back with one of his own! Possibly fighting on pure instinct Ronan is mimicking Ryan here as they trade chops in the ring! RYAN! RONAN! RYAN! RONAN! RYAN! RONAN!

Eve: Ryan Wilson appears to gain the advantage as he begins to repeatedly chop Ronan Malosi in the corner lighting up his chest as Ronan tries to turn around to escape and climb up the turnbuckle as he makes his way up the cage! But Ryan will not allow that! Ryan leaps up to the top rope and grabs Ronan from behind… GERMAN SUPLEX OFF THE TOP ROPE THROWING RONAN ACROSS THE RING!!!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT RONAN MALOSI LANDS ON HIS FEET!!! RYAN OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A FLYING CROSSBODY! THAT CONNECTS!!! THE COVER!!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

Deadprez: Ronan Malosi kicks out with authority throwing Ryan Wilson up in the air! Ronan with a sudden second wind here as he stomps his way back up to continue to fight even harder and stronger.

Eve: Ryan Wilson and Ronan Malosi trading punches now in the ring… Ryan tosses Ronan off towards the ropes Ronan screams in pain as his back collides with the barbed wire ropes and he is unable to run back across the ring because he is stuck to the barbs! Ryan lunges forward as he wraps the chain connecting them around Ronan and the ropes tying him to the cage wall! Ronan is trapped as Ryan is choking him out and bashing him into the cage wall! There is nowhere to go for Ronan! Forward is pain! Backwards is pain! Pain is his only option here at Pain for Pride!

Gavin Kirkland: AND ALISSA BRADY IS STILL DEAD!!! OH GOD SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK ON HER! THAT SOMEONE SHOULD BE ME! BUT NO WAY IN HELL AM I GOING INTO THAT HELL HOLE OF A CAGE! THE PUSSY CAN’T BE THAT GOOD!

Deadprez: Calm the fuck down Gavin. Just focus on the match you are driving away viewers again. Ronan Malosi is fighting back straining against the ropes with all of his power as he fights Ryan back. He headbutts Ryan knocking him back as he makes his way sideways trying to unravel the chain around him. Ronan kicks at the turnbuckle repeatedly… and eventually it breaks! Ronan breaks the turnbuckle as the barbed wire chain “ropes” fall off and collapse to the mat freeing Ronan. However, this causes the rest of the cage attached to that side of the ring to become loose as well! That looks dangerous like it could collapse at any moment! Ryan Wilson charges in! Ronan Malosi sidesteps as Ryan runs into the loose cage wall!!

Gavin Kirkland: Speaking of loose walls :mjlit:

Eve: NO! NOT JUST TO GAVIN BUT ALSO RYAN WILSON STOPS JUST IN TIME BEFORE HE COLLIDES WITH THE CAGE WALL AND BREAKS THE STRUCTURE! RYAN WILSON TURNS AROUND!!!

Deadprez: :lupe:

Eve: :lupe:

Gavin Kirkland: :lupe: !!!!!!!!

Deadprez: SPEAR! SPEAR! SPEAR!!! RONAN MALOSI SPEARS RYAN WILSON THROUGH THE CAGE WALL AS IT COLLAPSES BACKWARDS AT RINGSIDE! BOTH MEN BUST THROUGH THE CHAINS OF THE CAGE AS RONAN DRIVES WILSON THROUGH THE WALL ITSELF TO THE FLOOR BELOW! ONE SIDE OF THE CAGE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND THERE IS BROKEN CHAINS SNAPPING AND BARBED WIRE EVERYWHERE!!!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Gavin Kirkland: Complete and utter destruction has been left here tonight in whatever arena this is here tonight!

Deadprez: The Sofi Stadium. We are in Los Angeles. Aside from that it looks like the match might be over as both men are motionless. Both women as well as we cut to the stage where officials are shown loading Magdalena Wilson onto a stretcher to take her backstage. As she goes she raises up her arm towards the ring sending her spirit out towards her fallen son.

Magdalena Wilson: (off-mic) Please my son… make me proud…

(Magdalena Wilson is taken backstage as the officials exit the area not even coming back to check on Alissa Brady who is shown lying face down ass up in the ring.)

Deadprez: Both men are shown slowly making it back to their feet on the outside of the ring as it looks like this match will somehow continue. Ryan Wilson connects with a knee strike hitting Ronan Malosi hard in the gut. Ronan fires back with an uppercut catching Ryan Wilson in the jaw as he staggers back landing back first on the fallen cage wall. Ronan climbs up on top of him as he begins delivering a series of mounted punches until Ryan tosses him off and Ronan rolls off onto the floor outside the ring the barbed wire cutting into his skin the entire way as he rolls to safety. Ryan follows him and jumps off the broken cage and slams Ronan face first into the ring steps surrounding the cage. Ronan Malosi’s nose is busted open even more as it flows down his face which has been covered in the crimson mask and he can barely even see through the thick red blood covering his entire face.

Eve: Ryan Wilson grabs a steel chair from ringside as he smashes it on Ronan Malosi’s head on the steel steps! No! Ronan moves out of the way and the chair ricochets back and hits Ryan in the head instead! Ronan tackles Ryan taking him down but Ryan wraps the chain around Ronan’s neck choking him out on the outside with a Triangle Choke!

Referee: (off-mic) Would you be interested in tapping out here tonight fine sir?

Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Deadprez: Ronan Malosi is fighting it hard! He refuses to give up here tonight as the prestigious New Breed Championship is on the line! The New Breed Title has never been more prestigious than it is right now having been vacated by the greatest New Breed Champion of all time! Andre Walker!

Gavin Kirkland: Ryan Wilson is forced to break the hold after Ronan Malosi elbows him in the head enough times as he reaches under the ring and throws a handful of thumbtacks in Ryan’s face to scare him off! He grabs the chain and bashes Ran in the face with it to take him down before driving his knee down hard into Ryan’s face. Ronan pulls Ryan up and throws him back onto the fallen cage wall with a Snap Suplex before picking Ryan up and powerbombing him into the chains and barbed wire with as much power as he can manage!

Ronan Malosi: (off-mic)  AND NEWWWWWW!!! :blessed: :blessed: :blessed:

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOO!!! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!

Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) No I don’t! You are looking at a champion! :drakelike:

Crowd: HEY FUCKFACE EAT THIS!!!!

(A member of the crowd angrily booing Ronan suddenly stands up and throws something towards him.)

Eve: OH NO IS THAT?!?! Our fans are getting out of control with their hatred of Ronan…

Deadprez: It is! Ronan Malosi looking on in terror as that fan just hurled a water balloon and it is flying towards him at high speed! Move out of the way!!!

(Ronan Malosi covers his face as he turns around in preparation for the impact.)

*SPLASH*

Gavin Kirkland: THE WATER BALLOON CONNECTS RIGHT ON THE SHINY BALD FOREHEAD OF RONAN MALOSI AS IT EXPLODES INTO A TORRENT OF WATER DRENCHING HIM COMPLETELY!!!

Eve: RONAN MALOSI IS IN SHAMBLES AS HE IS LITERALLY SHAKING FROM WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO HIM!!!

Eve: Calm down Gavin… it was just a water balloon obviously he was going to kick out. I’m just surprised he didn’t kick out sooner.

Gavin Kirkland: You just don’t understand Eve. I hope for your sake you never will understand…

Deadprez: Ryan Wilson not finished just yet! He pulls Ronan up… MIC DROP!! THIS IS IT! TIME FOR A NEW CHAMPION!!!! HE GETS ALL OF IT! THE COVER!!!

Eve: Ronan Malosi pulls Ryan Wilson up… what is he going for here this isn’t a move that he… wait…

Gavin Kirkland: RONAN MALOSI CONNECTS WITH THE MIC DROP ON RYAN WILSON!!! HE HAS STOLEN HIS FINISHER AND HE IS GOING TO STEAL THE MATCH JUST LIKE I AM GOING TO STEAL ALISSA BUT RONAN IS GOING TO STEAL THE TITLE! THIEVES EVERYWHERE!!!

Deadprez: THE COVER! IMAGINE HOW HUMILIATING IT WILL BE FOR RYAN WILSON TO LOSE ON THE GRANDEST STAGE OF THEM ALL TO HIS OWN FINISHING MOVE!!!

Gavin Kirkland: ANOTHER KICKOUT! NEITHER MAN WILL GIVE UP HERE! THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND IMPORTANT MATCHUP TO BOTH MEN AND THEY WILL NOT LOSE! NEITHER MAN CAN AFFORD TO LOSE!!

Eve: Ronan Malosi back up as he stares out into space wondering just what it will take to put down Ryan Wilson! He pulls him up and throws him into the exposed corner… He charges in! But Ryan with a boot up sending Ronan back! Ryan charges in…

Deadprez: DEATH-RO CONNECTS!!! RONAN MALOSI GOING ALL IN WITH HIS BRUTAL ASS FINISHER!!!

Gavin Kirkland: NO! RYAN WILSON FLIPS OVER RONAN MALOSI AND SUPERKICKS HIM IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! RONAN WHIRLS AROUND…

Eve: RYAN WILSON CONNECTS WITH DEATH-RO!!! RYAN USING RONAN’S FINISHER ON HIM TO END THE MATCH!!! RONAN BEING HANDED AN L HERE TONIGHT WITH HIS OWN MOVE!! PAYBACK IS FAIR GAME!!!

Eve: RONAN MALOSI SOMEHOW GETS THE SHOULDER UP! HOW THE FUCK IS THIS MATCH STILL GOING ON?!?!?!

Deadprez: Ryan Wilson cannot believe it! He will not believe it! He is standing back up on his feet and is begging Ronan Malosi to stand up. Ronan slowly backs to his feet as Ryan raises his arms awaiting Ronan to get back up… HE KICKS RONAN HARD IN THE GUT…

Gavin Kirkland: GAME OVER CONNECTS!!! RYAN WILSON WITH THE STUNNER AS RONAN MALOSI IS SENT FLIPPING ACROSS THE RING FROM THE IMPACT OF THE MOVE! RONAN’S BODY CONVULSING FROM THAT STUNNER AS RYAN ROLLS OVER TO MAKE THE PIN!!!

(‘The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ from Mick Gordon plays across the arena as the referee brings the EAW New Breed Championship into the ring for Ryan Wilson.)

Eve: The boyhood dream has come true for Ryan Wilson here tonight as he has won his first ever championship here in EAW!!!

Gavin Kirkland: And handed Ronan another L in the process! Now Alissa will most definitely leave him for me!

Deadprez: Through blood sweat and tears Ryan Wilson has come out on top and proven all of his doubters wrong! He worked hard for this moment for years and it has finally paid off! Ryan Wilson has proven that no matter how long it takes or how many opportunities have passed you by you can’t ever give up because if you work hard enough one day it will all pay off! Congratulations to the homie Ryan Wilson has ascended to the mountaintop and is the new face of the New Breed Division heading into the new season!

Eve: Ronan Malosi left crushed, battered, and beaten and I am not sure he has even fully realized the extent of what has happened but as it sets in he will have to come to terms with the L he now holds. However, he put up one hell of a fight and it took Ryan Wilson absolutely everything he had to come out of this with the victory! Ronan is going to be one pissed off son of a bitch and I wouldn’t want to be the one who has to deal with him in the aftermath of this!

(Ryan Wilson is shown climbing up to the top of the cage and holding the New Breed Championship in the air as he gets a standing ovation from the crowd. Ryan makes it to the top of the cage and throws the championship up high gleaming off the arena lights as he celebrates his monumental victory here tonight in Los Angeles.)

(The camera cuts to a commercial advertising for hiring EAW creative team members. Please provide evidence of 10 years of Reddit experience for consideration.)

( A highlight video is played, showcasing the epic match between Mr. DEDEDE and Ronn Bank$ that took place a decade again at Pain 4 Pride. )

( A decade ago a match four years in the making happened between two legends of EAW. The main event of Pain 4 Pride with HRDO as the special guest referee, CM Banks went into action against Mr. DEDEDE in what was an already personal rivalry up to this point, leading up to this very highly anticipated match between the two in an Extreme Rules bout. )

( The recap shows moments from the match as it starts off strong. In an instant it spills out to the outside in a very back and forth competition, with Banks throwing DEDEDE through the barricade along with DEDEDE turning the tides nearly immediately afterwards sending Banks plummeting down to the ground off the announcers table with a back body drop. Fighting through the pain both of them have endured the fight continues to spill out to the outside even after their attempts to bring the fight back into the ring, with DEDEDE leaping over the ropes and taking Banks down with a flying senton, along with the Chairman also leaping off the steel steps and planting Banks through the announcers table with a tornado DDT. )

( In what became a bloody match up between the two of them their will continued to push them on, with both of them going to the extreme as the match is coined bringing weapons into the mix along with DEDEDE taking Banks down to the mat with a vicious Spear. But it wouldn’t be enough as Banks managed to get the shoulder up afterwards. Banks manages to turn the tables and sends an assault to DEDEDE with a steel chair which is abruptly stopped by DEDEDE taking him down with the Edge-O-Matic. DEDEDE goes for what should be his match finisher in the form of his patented Wings of Hell on the top rope with the steel chair, but in the end it’s Banks that catches him on his shoulders and connects with not one, but two Go To Retirements to get the victory. After the match Banks continues his assault on DEDEDE which is stopped by the special guest ref HRDO chokeslamming Banks to the ground. The recap ends with DEDEDE managing to recover as he gives his respects to HRDO with a handshake. )

( Suddenly, the video stops and the camera shot widens to show Ronn Banks standing in front of a backstage monitor that he has just switched off. A lot has happened since Banks faced Mr. DEDEDE back at Pain 4 Pride, and most of it is stuff that can never be undone. The relationship between the two men has obviously deteriorated to the point of no return, and that has clearly been on display in recent weeks. Banks has a thoughtful look on his face as he sits the monitor remote down and puts his hands in his pockets. A few seconds later, he feels a hand clamp down on his shoulder. )

???: Hey man.

( Banks’ face breaks into a smirk as HRDO walks into the scene. The EAW Vice President looks around, taking in the various things going on backstage, and shakes his head. )

HRDO: You look like you’re ready for part two, tonight.

Ronn Banks: :wow: Nah. It’s not about me. I just see a lot of potential in Adam Lucas, and how the fans have kind of embraced him as their own, and it makes me proud. EAW was founded on the very idea that people could start their careers here and prosper as long as they worked hard and trusted the process. So many people have become larger than life figures, and despite the ups and the downs, EAW has always found a way to keep itself right at the top of the pack as well. It just makes me proud knowing how many all-time greats have stepped through these doors and become Hall of Famers. I just see that kind of potential in Adam Lucas and I don’t want him to become another person Ryan steps on and uses just for his own personal gain.

HRDO: :mjgrin: Ryan Adams, use someone for his own personal gain?

Ronn Banks: :mjgrin:

HRDO: Look, we both know Ryan better than anyone, and we absolutely know what he’s capable of. Even after all these years, he remains a deadly, driven force hellbent on doing whatever he can to make sure his pockets are stuffed. I don’t even hate him for it, because look at how far it’s gotten EAW. Next year, we will have our 15th Pain for Pride. Sometimes I just can’t wrap my head around it.

Ronn Banks: It was also that greed and borderline negligence that almost ran this company into the ground.

HRDO: But the man’s business savvy and bank account purchased your start up and here we all are.

( Banks didn’t have much to say about that because HRDO was right. )

???: Well this is a nice reunion.

( Mr. DEDEDE steps into the shot looking like a snack as usual. He’s dressed in a brand new all white version of his ring gear, which makes him look flawless, and strangely ethereal all at the same time, and he can’t help but laugh seeing Banks and HRDO standing together. He looks at Banks and then looks around, almost as if he is looking for someone else to show up. )

Mr. DEDEDE: Where’s your shadow? Adam’s been attached to your teat more than my infants have been to their wet nurse in recent weeks.

Ronn Banks: I’m sure he’s getting ready somewhere for his championship defense. Interesting twist in bringing back the Hardcore Championship, might I add. I find it kind of funny that even after all these years, and the fact that you single-handedly caused my removal from this company that you would still be holding a grudge over the fact I undermined your championship reign.

Mr. DEDEDE: It’s not really even about me continuing to hold a grudge. I just felt like the time was right to bring the Hardcore Championship back into the fold. I’m not the one who made the call to get rid of it in favor of the PURE Championship, but the PURE Championship suited the holder of it at the time when it was brought back. I don’t think it has much relevance given the current landscape of EAW today. That championship has had nothing but a collective group of flops passing it around for the last year or so, and Adam Lucas is no exception. I still can’t wrap my mind around this obsession you have developed with him, mind you. Makes no sense. He’s a common man. Is he a chip off the old block? I think we both know there’s something deeper involved in this. You found out the hard way when you returned to this company that you no longer had what it takes to be relevant, whereas I’m someone who has always stood the test of time. You found the first person involved in a feud with me to link up with because you can’t let go of what happened back at the Pain for Pride Festival.

( Banks squares his shoulders because truthfully, his patience with DEDEDE is running out. The two long-time rivals end up nose-to-nose. )

Ronn Banks: If me wanting to make sure you don’t screw over another uprising star and ruin their career before it can even get started means I’m still salty about the Pain for Pride Festival, then I guess I’m salty. You said yourself you went after Adam because you viewed him to be weak. You targeted him for the PURE Championship because you thought he would be someone who would just roll over for you. That hasn’t been the case has it? Because with or without me being around, Adam Lucas would still go out there and beat you tonight. I’m that confident in his chances.

Mr. DEDEDE: A fool’s words.

( Banks goes to reply, but HRDO steps in. )

HRDO: You just got finished telling me that this wasn’t your fight, so let it go.

( He turns away from Banks and looks at Mr. DEDEDE. )

HRDO: You just need to worry about what is going to happen in that ring.

( HRDO takes a hold of Mr. DEDEDE and turns him around in the other direction, almost as if to send him on his way. DEDEDE looks at Ronn and shakes his head, before walking off. At least he knows tonight that he has a chance to get the last laugh. From there, Pain for Pride fades away from the area. )

( The camera cuts to the next match graphic. )

(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)

Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…ONE FALL!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!

Gina Romano: AND IS FOR THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP!!

(“Il Vento D’oro” by Yugo Kanno plays to a loud pop as Mitsubachi makes his way out from the curtain, sporting a Deadpool inspired attire as he makes his way to the ring, clearly focused on the task at hand, that being taking the Interwire Championship.)

Gina Romano: Introducing first! Hailing out of Sōka, Saitama, Japan, weighing in at 187 pounds…HE IS THE ARTIST…MITSUBACHI!!

Eve: The challenger, Mitsubachi, is walking in with one hell of a chip on his shoulder. He’s got eyes watching him from all ends, and he plans on using this to make sure people end their underestimating of him.

Deadprez: The number one person on that list he looks to shut up: Bronson Daniels.

Eve: But that’ll be easier said than done, Bronson isn’t gonna be looking to relinquish that title so soon after he just got it.

Deadprez: That may be true, but this is Mitsu’s opportunity to win his first title on the grandest stage of em all, opportunities like this are farce, so don’t think he’s gonna let this slip through his fingertips either.

(Mitsubachi settles in the ring as he awaits the arrival of his opponent. But before that, the lights begin to dim out as a narrator is heard speaking.)

Narrator: The Elite Player.

(Shots are shown of Bronson’s big matches performances, including Odyssey, Pain for Pride, Road to Redemption, King of Elite, and his most recent match with Jamie O’Hara.)

Narrator: The Legendary.

(Shots are now shown of Bronson winning at Odyssey, becoming New Breed Champion at Pain for Pride, making his entrance at Road to Redemption, getting rapped down to the ring by 21 Savage at King of Elite, tapping out Ronan Malosi, and finally raising the Interwire Title up in the air.)

Narrator: THE GAME CHANGER.

(Shots now show Bronson’s performances at events like Grand Rampage 2020, Odyssey, Pain for Pride, and then shots of him defending the New Breed Title against talent such as Alexis Chambers and SEBAS, followed up by his amazing rookie performances at Road to Redemption and King of Elite, him finally winning his second title in one season at Grand Rampage, then him staring down at Jamie on Showdown.)

Narrator: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome..Saint Pablo!

(‘Saint Pablo’ by Kanye West plays Bronson out as he decks a gold and white attire, matching with the Interwire Title around his waist, and very reminiscent of Godspeed in CW’s ‘The Flash.’ Daniel’s is also shown sporting a crown on his head.)

Gina Romano: And his opponent! Residing in Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 210 pounds…HE IS THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION…THE GAME CHANGER…BRONSON DANIELS!!

Eve: I’ll tell you what, if there’s one thing Bronson knows how to do, it’s make an entrance, and what an entrance that was, Bronson really taking us down memory lane.

Deadprez: Yeah, since practically day one, Bronson has showed himself to have a bright future here in EAW, harnessing immense potential, and you see that championship gold around his waist, I’d say he’s using said potential.

(Daniels stands in his corner, now taking his entrance gear off. However, when he takes off the crown, he reveals his hairstyle to be that of a two strand twist. Bronson hands his title over to the ref, who raises it in the air and hands it off before signaling for the bell.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Eve: The bell has rung and this match is officially underway, Bronson Daniels – the champion, Mitsubachi – the challenger, both men are gonna bring it all to the table here if they wanna walk out with that Interwire beauty, that’s for certain. But now, Mitsubachi and Daniels lock up in the center of the ring, Bronson gets the early advantage, making a go behind for a rear waistlock, Mitsubachi looks to pry those hands of Bronson apart, he manages to do so slightly before slipping behind Daniels for a rear waistlock of his own, hoping to squeeze the life out of our champion. Daniels issues a back elbow to the face of Mitsubachi, buying himself time to slip back behind him for another rear waist lock.

Deadprez: Neither man stays dominant for long in the waistlock as they keep switching positions back-and-forth, Mitsubachi straps another waistlock on, and Daniels wises up, backing Mitsubachi and subsequently himself into the corner. The referee is gonna have no choice but to get involved here.

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!

Deadprez: We receive a clean break from Mitsubachi, who removes his hands from around the waist of Bronson, allowing him to create distance between the two by walking over to the opposite corner. Mitsubachi and Bronson both continue the feeling out process here, circling each other before once again locking up, this time Bronson backs Mitsubachi into the corner. Mitsu shifts the momentum, however, holding Bronson in that corner with the collar and elbow now. The referee gets involved for a second time, backing Mitsubachi off of Daniels, who shoves Mitsubachi back, showing there’s some clear hostility between the two, and how couldn’t there be after the back-and-forth we saw between them this week?

Eve: Tempers are certainly beginning to flare as now we witness a more aggressive collar and elbow tieup between the two. And- OH! Mitsubachi throws a knee to the midsection of Daniels, doubling him over long enough for Mitsu to strap on a standing side headlock. But Bronson is quick to drive him back into the corner, throwing punches to the ribcage of Mitsu while he has him trapped in between him and those turnbuckles. Mitsubachi clubs down on the back of Daniels, hoping to fight his way out of the corner. But Daniels favors that back as he stands himself up straight, BUT LOOK AT DANIELS, WHO BEGINS TO UNLOAD WITH STRAIGHT FOREARMS TO THE FACE OF MITSUBACHI!

Deadprez: MITSU FIRES BACK WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN, BUT BRONSON JUST SHRUGS IT OFF, GOING RIGHT BACK ON THE ATTACK WITH A BARRAGE OF STRIKES BEFORE SENDING MITSUBACHI ACROSS THE RING! BRONSON CHARGES IN AFTER MITSUBACHI, WHO SLINGSHOTS HIMSELF UP AND OVER BRONSON IN THAT CORNER, CAUSING HIM TO COLLIDE CHEST FIRST WITH THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE BEFORE STUMBLING RIGHT BACK INTO A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX FROM MITSUBACHI!  BRONSON GETS UP TO ONE KNEE, FAVORING THAT NECK OF HIS, BUT MITSUBACHI RUSHES IN TO TAKE HIM DOWN WITH A SIDE HEADLOCK!

Eve: And now Mitsubachi is firmly in control, dictating the pace of this contest, and if he continues to do that, we may be seeing a new champion walk outta here. But not if Bronson Daniels has any say so, powering up to his feet while trapped in that headlock, and backing Mitsubachi up against the ropes, looking to rebound him off, but Mitsubachi is just a step ahead, landing another side headlock takedown in the center of the ring. BUT BRONSON DANIELS ROLLS HIM OVER TO BOTH SHOULDERS, LOOKING TO STEAL ONE HERE!

ONNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!

Eve: Mitsubachi swings the pendulum back into his favor as he returns to a seated position for that grounded side headlock. Bronson Daniels looks to get himself out of this predicament, using those legs of his to capture Mitsu’s head into a headscissors, and Daniels makes sure he has it strapped on tight, leaving no space between his legs and the head of his opponent. Mitsu begins his escape with a front neck bridge, and he headstands himself in between the legs of Daniels, WHO SPIKES MITSU ON HIS HEAD WITH A MINI PILEDRIVER THERE, CREATIVE OFFENSE FROM DANIELS, WHICH SEEMS TO BE PAYING DIVIDENDS AS MITSUBACHI CLUTCHES AT HIS HEAD WHILE LYING ON THE MAT! 

Gavin Kirkland: I know that’s gonna sting when Mitsubachi wakes up in the morning.

Deadprez: Bronson stands a stunned Mitsu up, taking him down with a side headlock himself now, and Bronson Daniels tightens that headlock, really making sure to wrench it in, putting some strain on that neck of Mitsubachi, who starts to bring himself back up to a vertical base. Mitsu throws some shots to the body of Bronson before trying to rebound him off the ropes in a slight role reversal here, but Bronson Daniels holds onto that headlock, dropping both men down to one knee. Mitsubachi manages to stand himself back up to try his hand at freeing himself outta this headlock again, this time Mitsubachi steps out on the apron through the middle rope, his upper body hangs inside in the ring, however, as Bronson refuses to let go of that side headlock. The referee begins his count, asking for a clean break.

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FO-

Eve: And Bronson gives it to him. BUT ALSO BRONSON PULLS MITSUBACHI OVER THE TOP ROPE AND BACK INTO THE RING WITH ANOTHER SIDE HEADLOCK! MITSUBACHI TRIES TO BOUNCE BRONSON OFF THE ROPES, BUT BRONSON HANGS ON! MITSU TRIES TO BOUNCES BRONSON OFF ANOTHER SET UP OF ROPES..BUT BRONSON HANGS ON! Mitsu tries ANOTHER set of ropes, this time Bronson goes bouncing off! BUT DANIELS COMES BACK WITH A SWIFT JUMPING HIGH KNEE UPON REBOUND! MITSUBACHI IS KNOCKED DOWN, AND DANIELS SCRAMBLES INTO THE COVER!

ONNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!

Deadprez: KICKOUT! Mitsubachi finds himself regrouping in the corner now after that close call. Bronson is in pursuit of Mitsubachi, however, AND HE STOMPS HIM DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION IN THAT CORNER BEFORE BEING FORCED TO CREATE SOME SEPARATION BY THE REF! The referee finally lets go of Bronson, WHO CHARGES IN AT MITSUBACHI WITH A CORNER BASEMENT DROPKICK! BRONSON DRAGS MITSU OUT OF THE CORNER BY HIS FOOT AND MAKES ANOTHER QUICK COVER!

ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Eve: ANOTHER KICKOUT FROM MITSUBACHI! But Bronson Daniels isn’t fazed as he sits Mitsubachi up for a PENALTY KICK TO THE SPINE! AND BRONSON LOOKS TO FOLLOW THAT UP WITH A SNAP SUPLEX, FLOATING OVER FOR A PINFALL VICTORY!

ONNNNEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!

Gavin Kirkland: Bronson Daniels continues to stay on top of Mitsubachi with fast and frequent pinfalls, showing just how much he’s looking to walk outta this thing with his hand raised.

Eve: Mitsubachi gets brought back to his feet by Bronson before getting sent into the corner with a strong Irish whip! MITSU COMES STUMBLING OUT OF THE CORNER AND WALKS RIGHT INTO A ROUNDHOUSE KICK FROM BRONSON, WHICH PUTS HIM ON WOBBLY LEGS! BRONSON DANIELS HOISTS HIM UP FOR ANOTHER SUPLEX, BUT MITSU SLIPS OUT THE BACK THIS TIME AROUND! MITSUBACHI TURNS BRONSON DANIELS TO FACE HIM! BRONSON SHOVES MITSU BACK INTO THE ROPES, CAUSING HIM TO REBOUND OFF! BUT MITSU COMES BACK WITH TYRANT REVENGE ON BRONSON!!!

Deadprez: NO! BRONSON DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT! MITSU TURNS AROUND AND BARRELS HIMSELF TOWARDS BRONSON! BUT DANIELS CATCHES THE ARM OF MITSUBACHI BEFORE WRESTLING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT, AND A FUJIWARA ARMBAR FROM DANIELS IS LOCKED IN! MITSUBACHI SCREAMS OF AGONY ARE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE SOFI STADIUM AS BRONSON CONTINUES TO WRENCH FARTHER AND FARTHER BACK! THE HAND OF MITSUBACHI GETS RAISED IN THE AIR, ALMOST CONTEMPLATING A TAP OUT HERE!

Eve: BUT MITSUBACHI DOESN’T GO THROUGH WITH IT, GETTING HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE INSTEAD! Bronson Daniels releases the armbar as soon as this is made aware to him by our referee. Bronson gives Mitsubachi some space, Mitsu gets up to all fours before being once again pursued by Daniels who stomps Mitsu right in the back of his head! Daniels brings ‘The Artist’ back to his feet before backing him up against the corner with repeated punches to the face, Mitsubachi is certainly looking a bit glossed over here with this flurry of offense by Daniels, which doesn’t look to be ending soon as Bronson attempts to send Mitsu into the opposite corner! BUT MITSU REVERSES LAST MINUTE, SENDING DANIELS INTO THE CORNER INSTEAD!

Deadprez: MITSU LOOKS TO FINALLY BEGIN MOUNTING SOME SERIOUS OFFENSE HERE AS HE CHARGES DANIELS IN THE CORNER! BRONSON ELEVATES MITSU OVER THE TOP ROPE, BUT HE ENDS UP CATCHING HIMSELF ON THE APRON! DANIELS NOTICES THIS AND ATTEMPTS TO CLOTHESLINE HIM OFF! BUT MITSU DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AVOIDING IT! DANIELS ATTEMPTS ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE FROM INSIDE THE RING! BUT MITSU AGAIN, DUCKS UNDER AND AVOIDS IT! AND MITSUBACHI ENDS UP ON THE OFFENSIVE WITH AN APRON FOREARM THAT CREATES SPACE BETWEEN THE TWO!

Eve: MITSU TRIES TO GET BACK INTO THE RING THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! BUT BRONSON DANIELS DROPKICKS HIM TO THE OUTSIDE! MITSUBACHI WAS CERTAINLY A BIT CAUGHT OFF GUARD THERE AS HE TRIES TO GET HIS BEARINGS TOGETHER, MOVING BACK TO HIS FEET! BUT WHILE DOING SO, BRONSON IS SCALING TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! LOOK OUT MITSUBACHI!

Deadprez: BRONSON COMES CRASHING DOWN ONTO MITSUBACHI WITH A DIVING TRUST FALL, YOU DONT SEE OFFENSE LIKE THAT EVERYDAY! A STUNNED MITSUBACHI GETS ROLLED BACK INTO THE RING BY BRONSON! BUT MITSUBACHI CONTINUES TO ROLL, GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING, CATCHING HIMSELF ON THE APRON! BRONSON LOOKS TO RETRIEVE HIM, ATTEMPTING A SUPLEX TO THE INSIDE! BUT MITSUBACHI FIGHTS THAT FROM HAPPENING, TRYING TO DEADWEIGHT BRONSON, WHO GETS PUNCHES TO THE RIBCAGE FROM MITSUBACHI!

Gavin Kirkland: MITSU ATTEMPTS A SUPLEX TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING NOW, AND IF BOTH MEN LAND OUT THERE, IT WONT BE PRETTY FOR EITHER OF THEM! BRONSON REALIZES THAT AND USES HIS LEVERAGE TO FIGHT IT OFF AS WELL! MITSU LIFTS BRONSON UP IN THE AIR AGAIN, BUT INSTEAD OF CRASHING TO THE OUTSIDE, BRONSON GETS BROUGHT OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE APRON! MITSUBACHI USES A ROPE ASSISTED ENZIGURI TO STUN DANIELS! BRONSON NOW GETS SHOVED BACK FIRST INTO THE LED RINGPOST, KNOCKING HIM DOWN TO THE FLOOR! 

Eve: MITSUBACHI DROPS DOWN FROM THE APRON AND GRABS AHOLD OF BRONSON DANIELS NOW, STANDING HIM UP BEFORE CHUCKING HIM INTO THE BARRICADE, BOTH THE BACK OF BRONSON’S HEAD AND BACK IN GENERAL HIT HARD! MITSUBACHI LIFTS HIM BACK UP BEFORE SENDING HIM INTO THE BARRICADE ONCE MORE, AND YOU CAN FEEL THE MOMENTUM FINALLY START TO SHIFT! MITSUBACHI PULLS BRONSON BACK UP TO HIS FEET! HES GONNA CHUCK HIM INTO THAT BARRICADE FOR A THIRD TIME…OR SO WE THOUGHT! BRONSON COUNTERS, SENDING MITSUBACHI INSTEAD!

Deadprez: DANIELS TAKES A FEW MOMENTS TO RECOVER BEFORE GOING AFTER MITSUBACHI, WHO USES THE TIGHTS OF DANIELS AS LEVERAGE TO PULL HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE NOW! AND MITSU SHOWS SOME AGGRESSION, REPEATEDLY BANGING THE BACK OF DANIELS’ HEAD OFF SAID BARRICADE! MITSUBACHI IS ONLY ABLE TO BRING DANIELS UP TO A KNEEL BEFORE HE STARTS TO FINDING BACK AGAIN! BRONSON IS THROWING SHOTS TO THE ABDOMEN, HOWEVER, THEY’RE WEAK AND NOT DOING MUCH DAMAGE TO HIS OPPONENT, WHICH ALLOWS MITSU TO CRACK BRONSON IN THE HEAD WITH A HARD ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT CRUMPLES HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!

Gavin Kirkland: MITSUBACHI ROLLS BRONSON UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE NOW, DRAPING HIM OVER THE APRON, FACING BRONSON DOWN! MITSU GETS UP ON THE APRON AND LEAPS DOWN ON THE BACK OF DANIELS HEAD WITH A KNEE STRIKE! DANIELS SLOWLY BEGINS TO SLUMP DOWN TO THE FLOOR BEFORE BEING SENT ALL THE WAY BACK INTO THE RING BY MITSUBACHI, WHO POSITIONS THE TOP OF BRONSON’S HEAD ALMOST UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE! MITSU SLINGSHOTS HIMSELF OVER THE ROPE WITH A CORKSCREW PLANCHA ONTO THE STOMACH OF DANIELS, UNDOUBTEDLY TAKING THE WINDS OUT OF HIS SAILS WITH THAT MOVE! MITSUBACHI GOES FOR A COVER, HOOKING ONE LEG INSTEAD OF BOTH, COULD BE A HUGE MISTAKE!

ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!

T-

Eve: KICKOUT BY BRONSON DANIELS, WHO ISNT LOOKING TO RELINQUISH HIS TITLE OVER THAT EASY! MITSUBACHI TAKES A MOMENT TO CONTINUE ANY FURTHER ATTACK AS HE STAYS IN A SEATED POSITION ON THE MAT, SHOWING THE WEAR AND TEAR THIS MATCH HAS TAKEN ON HIM THUS FAR! BUT AS HE DOES THIS, BRONSON USES THE ROPES TO ASSIST HIM IN GETTING BACK UP, BUT HE ONLY GETS TO ONE KNEE BEFORE MITSUBACHI IS UP AND DELIVERS A STERN KICK TO THE RIBS OF DANIELS, WHOSE FACE SHOWS THE PAIN HE IS IN OFF OF THAT!

Deadprez: MITSUBACHI STANDS DANIELS UPRIGHT BEFORE SENDING HIM INTO THE CORNER WITH A PUNCH! MITSUBACHI TAKES A FEW STEPS TOWARD BRONSON, WHO EXPLODES OUT OF SAID CORNER WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION, RIGHT ON TARGET! BUT MITSUBACHI ANSWERS BACK WITH ANOTHER PUNCH TO THE FACE OF DANIELS, WHO AGAIN, DOESNT TAKE THAT LYING DOWN WITH ANOTHER KICK TO THE ABDOMINAL REGION! BUT THERES ANOTHER PUNCH FROM MITSUBACHI! DANIELS FIRES BACK WITH PUNCHES OF HIS OWN NOW, FINALLY FIGHTING HIS WAY OUTTA THAT CORNER AND TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!

Eve: BRONSON ATTEMPTS TO WHIP MITSU INTO THE CORNER NOW! BUT MITSU COUNTERS, WHIPPING BRONSON STERNUM FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! BRONSON HAS ONE HAND ON THE TOP ROPE TO AVOID FALLING DOWN OFF THE IMPACT! BUT THAT MIGHT BE A HUGE MISTAKE AS MITSUBACHI DELIVERS A RUNNING CORNER DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF DANIELS, CRUSHING HIM IN BETWEEN HIS FEET AND THE TURNBUCKLE! MITSUBACHI GETS BACK UP AND PULLS BRONSON BACK INTO A SINGLE KNEE BACKSTABBER, DANIELS ROLLS IN PAIN AS A COVER IS MADE BY MITSUBACHI, HOOKING BOTH LEGS THIS TIME!

ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Deadprez: MITSU NARROWLY GETS THAT SHOULDER UP OFF THE MAT! BRONSON PICKS HIM UP NOW AND CHUCKS MITSU INTO THE CORNER, MITSUBACHI FALLS DOWN TO ONE KNEE OFF IMPACT! DANIELS WRAPS HIM IN A CRAVATE AND SNAPMARES HIM DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION BEFORE LOCKING IN A REAR CHINLOCK! Bronson Daniels is just wearing down Mitsubachi with this hold, leaving nowhere for him to go in the center of the ring. A mixed crowd begins to will Mitsubachi on in the fight of getting up to his feet, and hopefully breaking free of Bronson’s clutches!

Eve: AND THOSE FANS ARE SUCCESSFUL BEGINS WORKS UP TO A STANDING POSITION BEFORE THROWING ELBOWS INTO THE GUT OF DANIELS! MITSUBACHI BREAKS FREE AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES THAT ARE IN FRONT OF A DOUBLED OVER DANIELS! BUT BRONSON DROPS THE REBOUNDING MITSUBACHI WITH A BACK ELBOW! DANIELS SCRAMBLES INTO A QUICK PINFALL!

ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Gavin Kirkland: MITSUBACHI KICKS OUT! Daniels is clearly starting to grow a bit frustrated here, at this point, probably wondering what he has to do when it comes to putting his opponent away. Daniels may find his answer as he uses a front facelock to stand Mitsu up. BUT MITSUBACHI BREAKS FREE AND THROWS AN ELBOW SMASH THAT STAGGERS BRONSON! ANOTHER ONE HAS HIM REELING! MITSUBACHI WHIPS DANIELS INTO THE CORNER! BUT DANIELS GETS HIS FOOT UP ON THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE, BRINGING HIS MOMENTUM TO A HALT BEFORE SMASHING MITSU IN THE FACE WITH A BACK ELBOW AS HE RUNS INTO IT! 

Eve: MITSUBACHI GETS SENT INTO THAT CORNER NOW! BRONSON RUNS FULL STEAM AHEAD- ONLY TO GET CAUGHT WITH A BOOT FROM MITSUBACHI, WHO SITS HIMSELF ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND MAKES A TORNADO DDT ATTEMPT! BUT BRONSON SHOVES HIM OFF LAST MINUTE! MITSU LANDS ON HIS FEET AND ALMOST GETS WHIPPED BACK INTO THAT CORNER AGAIN BY BRONSON BEFORE REVERSING, SENDING BRONSON CHEST FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! A GROGGY BRONSON STUMBLES BACKWARDS BEFORE GETTING LEVELED BY MITSUBACHI WITH A NORTHERN CLOTHESLINE!

Deadprez: MITSU LIES PRONE WITH EXHAUSTION BEFORE LOOKING TO SCORE A PINFALL VICTORY OVER DANIELS, WHO ROLLS AWAY, CREATING DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO, MAYBE EVEN SAVING HIS OWN SKIN THERE AS THE BACK OF THAT HEAD IS CLEARLY IN A MEASURE OF PAIN! MITSUBACHI NOW GETS UP AND GOES AFTER DANIELS, PULLING HIM UP TO HIS FEET! MITSUBACHI GETS CAUGHT WITH A QUICK FOREARM SMASH FROM DANIELS! BUT MITSUBACHI BARELY LETS IT REGISTER AS HE FIRES BACK WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN!

Eve: AND NOW MITSUBACHI BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON BRONSON DANIELS, LIGHTING HIM UP WITH A FLURRY OF SHOOT KICKS THAT LEAN HIM UP AGAINST THE ROPES! DANIELS GETS WHIPPED OFF THE ROPES, HOWEVER, THERES A REVERSAL, BOUNCING MITSUBACHI OFF THE ROPES INSTEAD! AND MITSU COMES BACK WITH A CALF KICK! DANIELS SPRINGS BACK TO HIS FEET AFTER THAT, GETTING KNOCKED RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH ANOTHER CALF KICK! BUT DANIELS REFUSES TO STAY DOWN, AGAIN RUSHING BACK TO HIS FEET, AND RUNNING TOWARDS HIS OPPOSITION!

Deadprez: BUT MITSU DROPS HIM WITH A BACK ELBOW! BRONSON BEGINS TO GET UP AGAIN BUT MITSU JUST GRABS HIM AND THROWS HIM INTO THE CORNER! MITSUBACHI GRABS THE ARM OF DANIELS AND WHIPS HIM INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER ACROSS THE RING! DANIELS HOLDS HIS BACK AS HE COMES OUT THE CORNER WHILE STUNNED, WALKING RIGHT INTO AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! MITSUBACHI STANDS IN THAT CORNER AFTERWARDS, FEEDING OFF THE ENERGY FROM THIS RAUCOUS CROWD HERE IN LOS ANGELES! 

Eve: A DAZED BRONSON GETS UP TO HIS FEET AS MITSUBACHI GOES AFTER HIM! BRONSON TRIED TO LAND A KICK TO THE STOMACH, BUT MITSUBACHI CAUGHT THE FOOT OF DANIELS BEFORE SPINNING HIM AROUND! DANIELS IS ALL OUTTA SORTS AS HE GETS KICKED IN THE STOMACH HIMSELF NOW BEFORE GETTING LIFTED UP IN THE AIR AND DROPPED DOWN WITH A GOURDBUSTER! MITSUBACHI IS FEELING IT AS HE CLIMBS TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE NOW! BRONSON DANIELS HAS NO IDEA WHATS COMING AS HE GETS UP TO HIS FEET!

Deadprez: DIVING CROSSBODY FROM MITSUBACHI, WHO HOOKS BOTH LEGS OF BRONSON FOR A COVER!

ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THH-

Deadprez: I THOUGHT WE ALMOST HAD A NEW INTERWIRE CHAMPION RIGHT THEN AND THERE, BUT NO! BRONSON DANIELS STAYS ALIVE! MITSUBACHI GETS UP AND GRABS THE ARM OF  A KNEELING DANIELS, JUST BOOTING HIM IN THE HEAD AS HE SLOWLY WORKS UP TO A VERTICAL BASE! MITSUBACHI CONNECTS WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK, WHICH HAS DANIELS OUT ON HIS FEET! MITSUBACHI RUNS OFF THE ROPES IN FRONT OF DANIELS, WHO DUCKS A CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT FROM MITSU, SENDING HIM OFF THE ROPES AGAIN, AND MITSU RUNS RIGHT INTO A DROPKICK FROM DANIELS!

Eve: BRONSON MAKES A COVER!

ONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!

Eve: MITSUBACHI GETS THAT SHOULDER UP OFF THE MAT! BRONSON IS IN SLIGHT SHOCK BEFORE STANDING MITSUBACHI UP! HE UNDERHOOKS HIM FOR SAVAGE MODE! BUT MITSU BLOCKS BEING LIFTED UP IN THE AIR! DANIELS KEEPS TRYING TO GET HIM UP REGARDLESS, BUT ITS NO USE AS NOW MITSUBACHI STARTS TO FIGHT BACK, THROWING SHOTS TO THE BODY OF DANIELS, WHO ANSWERS BACK WITH A SHOT TO THE RIBS OF MITSU, STUNNING HIM LONG ENOUGH TO BE WHIPPED IN THE CORNER BY DANIELS, WHO DAMN NEAR TAKES HIS HEAD CLEAN OFF WITH A CORNER DROPKICK!

Gavin Kirkland: DANIELS PULLS HIM TO THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES FOR CHROME HEART TAGS!! :damn:

Deadprez: NOT QUITE, AS MITSUBACHI DUCKS UNDERNEATH THE KICK!! BRONSON GETS ROLLED UP WITH A SCHOOL BOY, BUT MITSU DOESNT HOLD ON FOR THE COVER, OPTING TO ROLL BRONSON TO ONE KNEE! MITSUBACHI LOOKS TO GET UP TO A VERTICAL POSITION, BUT BRONSON HOOKS HIM UP AND DROPS HIM WITH A FISHERMAN BUSTER AS HE ATTEMPTED TO DO SO! DANIELS WASTES NO TIME NOW TO HOOK BOTH LEGS OF MITSUBACHI!

ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHRRRRREEEEE-

Eve: KICKOUT BY MITSUBACHI, JUST ON THE BRINK OF THREE! DANIELS IS CLEARLY FRUSTRATED WITH BOTH HANDS ON HIS HEAD, JUST IN SHOCK AS TO HOW MITSUBACHI CONTINUES TO ROLL ON HERE!! DANIELS REALIZES HE HAS TO KEEP GOING AND PULLS MITSUBACHI UP BY HIS HAIR! THE CHAMPION THROWS SOME SICKENING FOREARM STRIKES BEFORE SPRINGING OUT THE CORNER WITH A CROSSBOD- NO! NOBODY HOME AS MITSUBACHI AVOIDS IT! DANIELS ROLLS IN PAIN ON THE FLOOR!

Deadprez: MITSUBACHI TAKES ADVANTAGE OF HIS OPPONENT’S CONDITION, GRABBING AHOLD OF AND SENDING HIM INTO THE ROPES! MITSUBACHI CONNECTS WITH A FRANKENSTEINER, BUT DOESNT END THERE AS HE ROLLS OVER TO HIS BACK, TRANSITIONING INTO THE LUCK-KEY TRIANGLE CHOKE!!! THIS MOVE HAS FINISHED OFF PEOPLE BEFORE, WILL BRONSON BE ONE OF EM?!

Eve: DANIELS IS TRAPPED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, NOWHERE TO GO, AND HE IS GETTING THE LIFE SQUEEZED OUTTA HIM BY MITSUBACHI, WHO JUST TIGHTENS AND WRENCHES THAT HOLD! BUT DANIELS SHOWS SOME TRUE GRIT, HE ISNT GONNA TAP, AND HE JUST DEADLIFTS MITSUBACHI UP FOR A POWERBOMB!! DANIELS ROLLS HIM THROUGH TO BOTH KNEES AND DRILLS HIM WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! DANIELS DOESNT MAKE THE COVER, HOWEVER, NOW CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPE, AND WE KNOW JUST HOW PROFICIENT DANIELS IS UP THERE! 

Deadprez: MITSUBACHI HAS HIS BACKED TURNED TO BRONSON AS HE SLOWLY WORKS BACK TO HIS FEET, HE HAS NO IDEA WHATS COMING…OR DOES HE?! MITSUBACHI RUSHES TOWARDS A PERCHED BRONSON AND NAILS HIM WITH A DROPKICK! MITSUBACHI CLIMBS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, HOOKING DANIELS FOR A TOP ROPE SUPERPLEX! BUT THAT DOESNT APPEAR TO BE HAPPENING AS DANIELS HANGS ON TO THE TOP ROPE! MITSUBACHI CLUBS THE BACK BEFORE FINALLY MANAGING TO DRIVE DANIELS DOWN WITH A SUPERPLEX! DANIELS FAVORS THAT BACK, HAVING TAKEN A NICE FIVE FOOT DROP AND THEN SOME!

Eve: MITSUBACHI MAKES SURE BOTH SHOULDERS OF DANIELS ARE DOWN ON THE MAT AS HE MAKES THE COVER!!

ONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHRRRR-

Eve: DANIELS KICKS OUT! MITSUBACHI LOOKS TO THE ROPE AND STARTS TO GAIN EVIL INTENTIONS IN HIS MIND! MITSUBACHI CLIMBS TO THE ROPE…BUT DANIELS CUTS HIM OFF THIS TIME, CROTCHING HIM ON THE TOP ROPE! BRONSON THROW PUNCHES TO THE HEAD OF MITSUBACHI BEFORE CLIMBING TO THE MIDDLE ROPE HIMSELF! IS DANIELS GONNA REPEAT WHAT MITSU DID WITH THAT SUPERPLEX?! …NO! MITSUBACHI ULTIMATELY FIGHTS OUT OF IT, SHOVING DANIELS BACK DOWN TO THE MAT, HOWEVER, DOES STAY ON HIS FEET AS HE REELS BACK! 

Deadprez: BUT DANIELS IS RELENTLESS, LOOKING TO CUT OFF MITSU IN THAT CORNER ONCE MORE! BUT MITSUBACHI ANTICIPATED AND LEAPS OVER HIM! DANIELS TURNS AROUND AND CHARGES AT MITSUBACHI, WHO- OH! CHROME HEART TAGS! MITSUBACHI JUST DROPPED DANIELS WITH HIS OWN MOVE IN THAT SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK! DANIELS GETS BOTH LEGS HOOKED FOR THE COVER, AND IMAGINE HOW EMBARRASSING THIS COULD BE, LOSING TO YOUR OWN SIGNATURE MANEUVER!

ONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Gavin Kirkland: DANIELS REALIZED THIS AND SPRUNG TO HIS FEET, CERTAINLY PUTTING A CAVITY IN THE CHEST OF MITSUBACHI WITH THAT JUMPING SINGLE FOOT STOMP! BRONSON DANIELS CANT EVEN CAPITALIZE AS HE COLLAPSES DOWN TO THE MAT! MITSUBACHI IS PROBABLY THANKING HIS LUCKY STARS FOR THAT AS HES GONNA TRY TO HOPEFULLY RECOVER!

Eve: I think Bronson has him a bit beat in that aspect as he’s now back on his feet. Daniels grabs the head of Mitsubachi, looking to bring him back up, BUT GETS PULLED INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE BY MITSUBACHI!

ONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Eve: KICKOUT BY DANIELS AT TWO, MITSUBACHI CHECKS WITH THE REF FOR CONFIRMATION ON THAT BEFORE TURNING HIS ATTENTION BACK OVER TO DANIELS! SHOOT KICK FROM MITSUBACHI! BUT IT GETS DENIED BY BRONSON DANIELS, WHO GETS BOTH HANDS UP TO BLOCK IT! BRONSON GOES FOR A KICK FOR HIS OWN IN THE ROUNDHOUSE! BUT MITSUBACHI JUST DUCKS UNDER IT! DANIELS GETS CAUGHT WITH A STEP UP ENZIGURI, KNOCKING HIM LOOPY! 

Deadprez: MITSUBACHI SNAPMARES HIS OPPONENT DOWN TO THE MAT, LEAPING IN THE AIR WITH A KNEE DROP, AND MITSUBACHI PUTS ON A GROUNDED REAR CHINLOCK AS BRONSON JOLTED UP AFTER THAT KNEE! AND THIS IS JUST IS GONNA CONTROL THE PACE, TAKE ENERGY OUT OF HIS OPPONENT, BUT ALSO BUY HIMSELF SOME TIME TO RECOVER OFF THIS HELLACIOUS MATCH! SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE FROM MITSUBACHI! BUT DANIELS REFUSES TO STAY DOWN, STANDING HIMSELF UP, AND FREEING HIMSELF WITH ELBOWS TO THE ABDOMEN!

Eve: DANIELS REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES! SUNSET FLIP!

ONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!

Eve: KICKOUT BY MITSUBACHI, WHO ROLLS THROUGH TO HIS FEET! DANIELS GETS CAUGHT WITH A SLIDING KNEE BY MITSUBACHI! MITSU CLIMBS OUT TO THE APRON AND ONTO THE TOP ROPE!

FRONT FACELOCK FROM ‘THE ARTIST’ BEFORE ANOTHER TORNADO DDT ATTEMPT, THIS TIME SUCCESSFUL IN SPIKING DANIELS ONTO HIS HEAD!

Gavin Kirkland: MITSUBACHI LINES HIM UP BEFORE LEAPING IN THE AIR FOR A KNEE DROP! DANIELS AVOIDS IT THIS TIME! MITSUBACHI IS ON ONE KNEE, AND DANIELS IS GONNA LOOK TO RETURN THE FAVOR FROM EARLIER WITH MITSU’S VERSION OF CHROME HEART TAGS! SEEMS LIKE WERE GONNA SEE BRONSON’S VERSION OF TYRANTS REVENGE!!

Deadprez: MITSUBACHI DROPS DOWN BACK FIRST ONTO THE MAT TO EVADE THE KNEE! A SCHOOL BOY ATTEMPT IS MADE HERE, BUT MUCH LIKE EARLIER, MITSUBACHI ROLLS HIM TO ONE KNEE INSTEAD OF OPTING TO PIN! DANIELS ATTEMPTS TO LAND THAT FISHERMAN BUSTER FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THIS MATCHUP, BUT MITSU SLIPS OUT BEHIND DANIELS! GERMAN SUPLEX FROM MITSU, WHO DOESNT RELEASE HIM THIS TIME! MITSU KEEPS THAT GRIP INTACT, PULLING BRONSON UP FOR ANOTHER GERMAN! BUT IT DOESNT END THERE AS HE LANDS ANOTHER GERMAN TO COMPLETE THE TRIFECTA! MITSU BRIDGES FOR A COVER!

ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!

T-

Eve: NO! DANIELS KICKS OUT! BRONSON GETS TO ALL FOURS, MITSU WRAPS THOSE HANDS AROUND THE WAIST, PERHAPS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX AS HE PULLS HIM BACK TO HIS FEET! BUT DANIELS THROWS SOME BACK ELBOWS TO THE FACE BEFORE WHEELING HIMSELF AROUND MITSU FOR A REAR WAISTLOCK OF HIS OWN! BRONSON DRIVES MITSU CHEST FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE BEFORE GETTING HIM INTO AN O’CONNOR ROLL! THE REFEREE MOVES INTO POSITION!

ONNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWOOOOOOOOO-

Deadprez: MITSUBACHI ROLLS THROUGH AND REMAINS ON TOP OF BRONSON FOR AN O’CONNOR ROLL OF HIS OWN NOW!

ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Eve: BRONSON DANIELS IS WELL AWARE OF THAT, BUT HES ALSO AWARE OF HIS SURROUNDINGS, USING THEM TO HIS ADVANTAGE, ROLLING TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! MITSUBACHI WASTES NO TIME IN GOING AFTER AND SLIDING HIM RIGHT BACK IN THE RING! MITSUBACHI MAKES THE COVER!

ONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Deadprez: BRONSON DANIELS SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY KICKS OUT! YOU GOTTA THINK THAT SLIVER OF RECOVERY TIME MIGHT’VE AIDED HIM IN THE MATTER! MITSUBACHI POUNDS THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION BEFORE LIFTING DANIELS UP FOR A SUPLEX! BUT DANIELS KNEES MITSU IN THE TOP OF HIS HEAD, FORCING HIM TO RELEASE HIM! DANIELS TAKES ADVANTAGE OF A BENT OVER MITSU NOW!

Eve: SIDE HEADLOCK FROM DANIELS IS STRAPPED ON BEFORE A TIGER SPIN DROP TOE HOLD! MITSUBACHI HOLDS HIS NOSE, BUT DANIELS GRABS HIS ANKLE! THE ANKLE LOCK!! THE ANKLE LOCK IS LOCKED IN!! :lupe:

Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS THE MOVE HE USED TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP, WILL IT BE THE MOVE HE USES TO RETAIN IT?! MITSUBACHI IS WRITHING IN PAIN AS DANIELS LOOKS TO RIP HIS ANKLE CLEAN OFF THE BONE!

Deadprez: MITSUBACHI BEGINS TO CRAWL, AND CRAWL HE DOES OVER TO THE ROPES! MITSUBACHI MANAGES TO GET HIS HAND ON THE BOTTOM ONE, BUT BRONSON PULLS HIM AWAY TO THE CENTER OF THE RING, GRAPEVINING THAT ANKLE LOCK NOW! MITSUBACHI RAISES THAT HAND IN THE AIR AND GOES TO TAP OUT!

Eve: BUT HE THINKS TWICE ON IT, STOPPING HIS HAND JUST BEFORE HITTING THE MAT! MITSU ROLLS TO HIS BACK BEFORE THROWING KICKS TO THE FACE OF BRONSON, WHO HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO RELEASE THE HOLD AS THAT KICK CAUGHT HIM RIGHT IN THE EYE! MITSUBACHI AND A TEMPORARILY BLINDED DANIELS GET BACK UP TO THEIR FEET HERE! DANIELS HAS HIS BACK TURNED TO MITSUBACHI, PROBABLY NOT EVEN INTENTIONAL! MITSUBACHI GOES FOR A BACK SUPLEX!

Deadprez: DANIELS SHOWS OFF THAT ATHLETICISM, FLIPPING OUT OF IT! MITSUBACHI GETS SENT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AFTER A SHOVE!

ONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gina Romano: HERES YOUR WINNER…AND STILL THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION…BRONSON DANIELS!!

(‘Saint Pablo’ plays to a thunderous pop as Bronson Daniels raises himself off the mat to get his title handed back to him and hand raised by the ref.)

Eve: What a match between these two men!

Deadprez: They genuinely left it all out there, and win or lose, neither has anything to be ashamed of.

Eve: That’s for certain. But imagine the high Bronson Daniels is riding on right about now after a roller coaster of a season!

Deadprez: He started out this season as champion, he ends it as champion, and he proves himself to be exactly what he calls himself…a game changer. Who is gonna end the reign of Bronson Daniels?

Eve: If he shows as much heart, as much fighting spirit as he did tonight, I’m not sure anyone will. But when it comes to Mitsubachi, he keeps up performances like that, he won’t go titleless for long, I’ll tell you that much.

(Bronson Daniels hoists the Interwire Title in the air as he stands on the stage, having a smile on his face. Meanwhile, Mitsubachi is seen clearly disappointed as he leans back on the barricade. The camera fades elsewhere.)

(The camera opens back up to the next match graphic.)

(Pain For Pride returns to the sight of Flannery McCoy, Stew-O, and Jake Mercer sitting at the Dynasty announcer’s desk.)

Flannery McCoy: Ladies and gentleman, welcome back to the biggest event of the year, the stairway to immortality, ladies and gentleman, this is Pain For Pride! And the pride is at full stake here because coming up next, boy, oh boy, this one is going to be fireworks!

Stew-O: We have for you a  tag team match between two of EAW’s most bitter rivals and the fate of Dynasty’s entire future rests on the shoulders of this match. I cannot wait, coming up next, The Visual Prophet and Lethal Consequences face Ad Infinitum, Charlie Marr and Veena Adams!!!

Jake Mercer: and there are MAJOR stakes at play here, if Veena and Charlie win this match, Starr Stan will be fired and Veena takes full control of Dynasty! But if Lethal Consequences and Big Viz win tonight, Veena’s contract as co-general manager will be terminated! Thi math is for the future of Dynasty and the implications run heavy here tonight!

Stew-O: Not just the implications, the bad blood runs even deeper. These two teams absolutely despise each other and Viz and LC have been two elitists who have suffered the after effects of Veena’s questionable decision making on the red brand. They’re fighting for revenge tonight?

Jake Mercer: “Questionable” :wtf: 

Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TAG TEAM MATCH AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL! THIS MATCH HAS A SPECIAL SE OF IMPLICATIONS THAT RULE AS FOLLOWS: IF CHARLIE MAR AND VEENA ADAMS WIN THIS MATCH, THEY TAKE CONTROL OF DYNASTY AND STARR STAN IS FIRED!!!

(Crowd boos heavily.)

Stephie Love: BUT IF THE VISUAL PROPHET AND LETHAL CONSEQUENCES WIN THIS MATCH, STARR STAN REGAINS SOLE CONTROL OF DYNASTY AND VEENA ADAMS POSITION AS MANAGER WILL BE TERMINATED!!!

(Crowd erupts in cheers.)

Flannery McCoy: MAN, I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS ONE, LET’S GET THIS MATCH GOING AND PAIN FOR PRIDE ROLLING! THE BIGGEST EVENT OF THE YEAR, IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS, AD INFINITUM, OR LC AND VIZ?!?!

(‘Trust Nobody’ by Killy begins to play as Veena Adams and Charlie Marr, Ad Infinitum make their way onto the Pain For Pride stage. Matching white and gold gear for Marr and Adams as they gaze out over this packed crowd.)

Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST, WRESTLING AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 365 POUNNDSSS, THEY ARE AD INFINITUM, CHARLIEEE MARRRRRR AND THE CO-GENERAL MANAGER OF FRIDAY NIGHT DYNASTY, VEEENNAAAAAAAAA ADAAMMMSSSSS!!!

(Marr and Adams strut down the aisle, scowling in the face of every fan that’s booing them. They roll into the ring and pose in the center of it as they are receptive with a stadium full of echoing slander and boos.)

Flannery McCoy: It’s clear these two don’t care about being fan favorites, their only concern is maintaining the wealth and power they’ve attained since coming to Dynasty. They’ve found themselves calling the shots and Veena continues to use her power to keep herself and that man to her left above everyone else. But Viz and LC will do everything in their power to change that and prevent it from ever happening again. 

Stew-O: Everything is on the line for Ad Infinitum tonight. Charlie’s seen his fair share of devastating results and lost momentum this season, but he’s found himself with a huge chance on the grandest stage and if there’s anyone who can deliver under the bright lights, it’s these two/ Don’t think that for a second these boos deter them from their course, they’re gonna go into that ring and try to pick apart Viz. Beginning to end. Ad Infinitum is a devastating force of power and manipulation, but they’ve remained on top so long for good reason.

(‘Don Life’ by Big Sean and Lil Wayne hits the speakers as a thunderous reception of cheers and excitement ensues for The Visual Prophet. He walks out onto the stage with a smile across his face. Winking at Charlie and Veena in the ring as he begins to approach the ramp. Starr Stan walks out alongside the Visual Prophet, keeping his eyes on Veena and Charlie.)

Stephie Love: INTRODUCING ONE HALF OF THEIR OPPONENTS TONIGHT, WRESTLING OUT OF DETROIT MICHIGAN, WEIGHING IN AT 265 POOUNNDSSS… ACCOMPANIED BY STARR STAN, HE IS “BIGGGG VIZZZZZ”, THE VISUALLLLLLL PROPHEEEETTTTTT!!!

Stew-O: Viz began this season defending his world title against the man he’ll be tagging with tonight! It’s been full of ups and downs, sidelined with injury then returning to have an incredible Grand Rampage performance. After falling short to Drake King and being humiliated by Veena Adams on weekly television, Viz knows the next step will come on the back of her neck! His career’s future stomps on Veena’s position as manager and Viz enters the new season with a big Pain For Pride win!

Flannery McCoy: Hey, if there’s one thing that caps off a season and sends you into the next one as a top draft pick, it’s an impressive performance at this event!

(Viz enters the ring and blows a kiss at Charlie Marr and Veena Adams as ‘Tougher Colder Killer’ by El-P, KIller Mike, and Despot begins to play as Lethal Consequences enters the arena to a mixed reaction. LC walks straight down the ramp and means all business tonight.)

Stephie Love: AND HIS PARTNER, FROM OAKLAND CALIFORNIA, WEIGHING IN AT 230 POUNDS… “THE INEVITABLE” LEEETTHAAALL CCONNSSEEQQQUEENNNCCESSS!!!!

Flannery McCoy: Another former World Heavyweight Champion and the man who very nearly walked into Pain For Pride the champion, Lethal Consequences! He’s got a cold and blank look across his face and you can tell he means all business tonight. He’s planning on revenge in this match and Lethal Consequences never arrives as anything less than the best version of himself. And I’ll tell you, if there’s one guy I didn’t want to have a vendetta against me, it’s Lethal Consequences.

Jake Mercer: You got that right, but the mind games could play a factor for LC tonight and I’ve Ad Infinitum and edge! Charlie and Veena know how to manipulate their opponents, but the question is, have they bit off more than they can chew with this one?!? Veena’s been looking to take these two men out for months, well, be careful what you wish for because we are on the verge of what is going to be a war for these two teams! OH BOY! HERE WE GO!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Flannery McCoy: AND THIS MATCH IS UNDERWAY! 

Stew-O: Dynasty’s future is going to be decided right now! Charlie Marr and Big Viz are gonna start this match, they attempt to lock-up  in the middle! Charlie ducks under Viz, rolls out of the ring and invites Viz to follow him outside, but LC storms after Charlie and forces him into the ring! Now Viz and Charlie lock up with a collar and elbow tie-up, Viz is able to transition into an underhook position! Charlie fights his way to the corner and pushes off the top turnbuckle, rolling out of the underhook hold.

Flannery McCoy: But Viz rolls through and pressures Charlie to the other side of the ring, pinning Marr against the turnbuckles and keeping his forearm pressed firmly on the jaw of Charlie! The referee gives Viz a five count, which he enjoys all of, then blows a kiss at Charlie Marr! Eye to eye, Viz making Marr feel the pride months vibes already, you know he must hate this! 

Jake Mercer: Charlie fires off a headbut, but Viz avoids it and gets to the side of Charlie Marr! A snapmare from Viz, Charlie whipped down to the canvas! Viz rubs his head like Charlie’s a baby and then comes off the ropes with a big sliding dropkick to the face of Marr! A baseball slide dropkick to the teeth of Charlie! Viz tags Lethal Consequences, LC is legal!

(TAG!)

Jake Mercer: LC chomping at the bit to get into this match and- LC STORMS RIGHT AT VEENA ADAMS! HE FLIES WITH A FOREARM TO THE FACE OF VEENA, SMASHING HER OFF THE APRON AS SHE FALLS TO THE OUTSIDE! WHAT WAS THAT FOR??? Lethal Consequences just unprovokedly attacked a known figure of authority, she wasn’t even legal!

Flannery McCoy: You know LC and Viz have just been frothing at the mouth to get their hands on Marr and Adams tonight, they’ve been subject to too much power abuse! It’s time for Veena to get a taste of her own medicine! Lethal Consequences turns around and is met with a nasty boot to the face from Charlie Marr! Now it’s Marr coming off the ropes, going for an arm drag- but LC is able to telegraph it, he bounds off the ropes as well and catches Charlie with a lariat! LC is able to forecast Charlie’s offense and counters with a nasty lariat! I think a few of Charlie’s teeth landed in my water!

Stew-O: Veena Adams storms into the ring, she tries to jump on LC, but the referee pulls Veena away from the legal competitors- Wait! Charlie Marr gets a thumb into the eye of Lethal Consequences! Charlie knows what’s at stake in this match and he’s gonna do everything he can to hang onto power! LC tries to clear the damage from his eye, but Charlie flies at LC with a big boot to the chin! He sends the former World Heavyweight stumbling into the turnbuckles! He tags Veena Adams into the match!

(TAG!)

Jake Mercer: Veena Adams is legal! And she’s got nasty intentions on her mind! Charlie with a shoot kick that drops LC to a knee now! VEENA SLIDES IN WITH A DIVING KNEE STRIKE! She planted that patella on the chin of Lethal Consequences, now hooks both legs, AND THE SHORTS OF LC, A PIN ATTEMPT FROM VEENA- But Lethal Consequences kicks out before the referee even makes it to the canvas! He’s not going out easy, it’ll take the kitchen sink and everything  that goes along with it to put this great down!

Stew-O: Veena Adams with precise kicks to the chest of LC, who’s just on his knees taking this violation! 

Jake Mercer: Pause. 

Flannery McCoy: Thank God it’s pride month! Ronan Malosi is punching the air backstage after hearing that one! VEENA NOW WITH A KICK TO THE NECK OF LC, GOOD LORD! She slammed her shin across his throat like a baseball bat, BUT LC RISES LIKE A MAN POSSESSED AND STUNS VEENA WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! LC CALLING FOR MORE PUNISHMENT, HE’S INVITING THE ATTACK FROM VEENA! LC CALLING FOR A WAR- 

Jake Mercer: VEENA SPIT IN HIS FACE! VEENA STRAIGHT SPITS IN THE FACE OF LC AND HE’S IN DISBELIEF! LC THROWS A WILD PUNCH, BUT VEENA AVOIDS IT, TAKING HIS BACK, LOOKING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! LETHAL CONSEQUENCES ROLLS VEENA FORWARD, OVER HIS SHOULDER, AND DIVES WITH A FLYING WHEEL KICK TO THE SIDE OF VEENA’S TEMPLE! Wait, is LC going for a submission?!? What in God’s name, WAIT, OH NO!!!

Stew-O: LC HAS THE ARMS OF VEENA BEHIND HER BACK AS HE PUSHES HIS BOOT AGAINST THE BACK OF HER NECK! WE KNOW VEENA ADAMS HAD HER NECK BROKEN BY XAVIER WILLIAMS, THIS HAS GOTTA BE KILLING HER! LC IS TRYING TO SHATTER IT ALL OVER AGAIN, ABSOLUTELY RUTHLESS FROM THIS COLD KILLER!! 

Flannery McCoy: CHARLIE MARR FLIES IN AND CLATTERS THE JAW OF LC WITH A JUMPING KNEE! BUT HERE COMES VIZ! SCOOPING CHARLIE UP LIKE CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER AND DUMPING HIM WITH AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! ABSOLUTELY SENDING MARR FOR A RIDE! CHARLIE GETS BACK TO HIS FEET, BUT VIZ SENDS HIM SOARING OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE!! VIZ JUST STEAMROLLING THROUGH HIS OPPOSITION!!

Jake Mercer: HERE COMES VEENA! SHE RUNS AT VIZ, BUT HE SIDESTEPS AND SHE FLIES THROUGH THE ROPES AND COLLIDES WITH CHARLIE MARR!!! WAIT- NEARLY! CHARLIE CAUGHT HER AT THE LAST SECOND, CHARLIE CAUGHT HER, NOW PUTTING VEENA BACK ON THE APRON- OH NO! VIZ GRABBING VEENA BY THE HAIR AND LIFTING HER INTO A MILITARY PRESS!
