(EAW intro plays.)
(Season sixteen is officially over with. A new season begins, and EAW along with everyone in the EAW universe look forward to what will sure to be an amazing season seventeen. With the Draft Show over with, a recap is shown, revealing various highlights throughout the occasion on the Dynasty side of things: Bronson Daniels picks up a win in the opening triple threat over Myles and Alex Myers, leading the red brand to select Joso as the overall first draft pick. Kassidy Heart and Sienna Jade are traded to Dynasty in the first round. Albert Hitchman speaks with Sofia Clarke and reveals that Andre Walker is a free agent. Michael Machina defeats Rory Slate, Drake Armstrong, and Delilah Rose. Myles, Bronson Daniels, and Milli Banks are all selected in the second round for Dynasty. Tyrone Montgomery, Richard Grant and Kensingten Calhoun-Astor all talk about potential draft picks when Valerie Hellstorm comes in to unsuccessfully plead her case about being put with the Queen Bees. Theron Nikolas is able to defeat Donovan Duke before he gets drafted along with Chris Elite and Ms. Extreme. Ronan Malosi approaches Albert Hitchamn, looking to get into the good graces of Andre Walker. Albert relents and goes out of his way to hear him out. Milli Banks picks up the win in a Champions Showcase match over Jay Jerry Johnson, Jon Kelton, and TLA. In the foreground, Dynasty is able to nab Jake Smith, Hans Grayson and Jay Jerry Johnson. Chris Elite is able to emerge victorious in his bout against Rex McAllister, but gets attacked afterwards by Ronan Malosi. In the final round, Dynasty selects DOMINION, Ronan Malosi, and Michael Machina. Afterwards, in the main event, Drake King is able to defeat Ronan Malosi in a Hell in a Cell match.)
(The recap ends, paving way to an electric shot of the Amica Mural Arena in Providence, Rhode Island! The fans cheering, showing off gear and signs representing their favorite Dynasty Elitists, both familiar and new to the show. Many things have changed, but what hasn’t is the commentary team as the camera shows off the smiling faces of Stew-O, Jake Mercer, and Flannery McCoy.)
Stew-O: What a season! What a year! There have been so many memorable moments all throughout season sixteen that will live on for years to come. Now, we enter a new chapter with a new season ahead of us, and if the Draft Show is any indication, that means we will be in store for some big things. Welcome to Friday Night Dynasty and thank you for tuning in to the first EAW show of season seventeen! I am Stew-O, and right by me are my commentary partners: Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy!
Jake Mercer: #DynastySweep.
Flannery McCoy: Can’t lie, it feels good to be part of the red team! The Draft Show had been amazing from top to bottom, bell to bell, so much so that people were saying it felt like the second weekend of Pain for Pride! It was astonishing to see how so many Elitsts were able to keep up the energy even after going through some of the most intense matches we have seen yet in the modern era off the heels of the biggest show of the year. Everyone went all out, and that is why the Draft Show has always been hotly-anticipated! Still, I have to brag a little here along with Jake… our show did not play around.
Stew-O: We’ve been spoiled with two weeks of exhilarating action, but at the end of the night last week in Newark, Dynasty was able to come out on top. If you want to count matches where an already-established Dynasty Elitist won, then four out of the six matches went to us. If you want to include everyone who was drafted to this show? Then Dynasty won all but one.
Jake Mercer: You love to see it, baby! The utter dominance of our talent almost makes up for Viz being traded to Showdown!
Flannery McCoy: Well, it’s nice to see you move on from that, Jake! I’m sure he appreciated all of the non-biased support you had for him.
Jake Mercer: Vizzy P. Newton ‘till the death of me. I hope my GOAT continues to shine a light on black excellence during his time on the blue brand.
Flannery McCoy: At least we still have Limmy.
Jake Mercer: WE DO!!! :blessed: AND WE’RE ALWAYS GONNA HAVE HIM! WE’RE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE LIM, AND THERE IS NOTHING THE OTHER SHOWS CAN DO ABOUT IT! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Stew-O: All world champions except for Kassidy Heart were ineligible for being traded to a different show. However, Dynasty can now lay the claim that it houses two of them, as in the first round, the newly-crowned Universal Woman’s Champion was drafted here as the fourth overall pick!
Flannery McCoy: It was a draft pick that sent shockwaves throughout the entire EAW Universe. We all have seen firsthand what Kassidy Heart has done on Showdown, bringing unparalleled dominance to it. Just when we had to deal with King Kass, we have to deal with her at arguably the peak of her career here.
Jake Mercer: Ha! Getting some sweaty hands there, Flann?
Flannery McCoy: Okay, I know, huge elephant in the room, but Empire was years ago. I have my own personal opinions about Kass, and likewise, I’m sure she has her own opinions about me. However, I’m not going to let the past get in the way of the present, and at the end of the day, I’m always going to respect her for what she has done in the ring. She’s a hall of famer, and she can still go! It’s admirable.
Jake Mercer: Oh, I think I see a sweat bead there!
Flannery McCoy: Will you quit it?! Come on, it’s the start of the new season!
Jake Mercer: Alright, alriiiiight. But you are right: Kassidy Heart is in a league of her own, and it’s not even funny. Her being drafted was one the most talked-about picks of that night! Even then, there are people STILL talking about how monumental that was! The Mauler has the whole world fitted in the palm of her hand, along with the most prestigious women’s world championship in the industry!
Stew-O: And speaking of Kassidy Heart, here she comes!
( Partition by Beyoncé roars through The Amica Mutual Arena, those in attendance knowing what this means and in turn — losing their shit. Kassidy Heart, reigning, yet-to-be defending Universal Women’s Champion, steps out onto the stage. She looks like a million bucks, and even then, such a valuation is underselling how delightful the Australian bombshell looks tonight. Delicate fingers wrap around the strap of her recently-procured championship. She lifts it high to the crowd’s delight with a smirk illustrating on thick, red-painted lips. As Kassidy begins to strut down the ramp heading towards the ring, we cut over to the commentary table. For the first time this season, we hear from Stew-O, Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy! )
Stew-O: Listen to that crowd! What an ovation and rightfully so, Kassidy Heart went through a Glass Wallz match to pick-up the gold now situated on her shoulder. She main evented Pain for Pride! Rhode Island recognises when greatness is amongst them — but also amongst us! Friday Night Dynasty, the first of the new season, is kicking off with a brand-new addition to the roster, and what an addition it is! I’m joined tonight by Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy, we have a stacked-to-the-skies show for you tonight. Make sure to stick with us!
Jake Mercer: We absolutely do! Matches-on-matches, so much new, fresh talent dipped into Dynasty’s waters, ready to arm themselves and step onto the battlefield. But of course, not only do we retain our World Heavyweight Champion in Limmy Monaghan, but we also have a second World Champion in “The Mauler” herself, Kassidy Heart! Dynasty won the draft! And now Kassidy, who let’s not forget won not only the Universal Women’s Championship last season, but also became the first woman to win the Grand Rampage match, has the world at her feet. The very same feet which, just two weeks ago, she used to stomp Bethany’s lights out!
Flannery McCoy: It wasn’t a pretty sight for those in Nashville, but that’s how the stipulation goes and it was a thrilling conclusion to an all-time match between two of this promotion’s most talented and dedicated women. But Kassidy has been known to exercise her rights in relation to stretching stipulations to their extremes! She reaps the rewards once again of such an attitude and stands before Rhode Island — but also the world, once again a victor and once more holding gold in the biggest promotion to ever grace this sport. Please don’t go anywhere, as Kassidy Heart will be addressing the world in a matter of seconds!
( Scaling the steel steps, Kassidy Heart slides into the ring through the middle rope. The noise hasn’t softened whatsoever since her entrance music hit through the P.A. system. She walks to the other side of the ring and gestures for a microphone from a ringside attendant. But she doesn’t make an attempt to stop the crowd in their tracks, no. She’s earned this. Kassidy Heart is a record-breaker, a history-maker and is without a doubt up there with the best to ever step foot into a wrestling ring. Minutes pass before the wave and fanfare in the crowd dies down, this is when Kassidy opts to raise the microphone upward and begins to speak. )
Kassidy Heart: Well, this is certainly a change in scenery. When I won in the main event of Pain for Pride and plucked this dear Universal Women’s Championship from Dr. Bethany Blue’s cold, dead hands, never did I expect that I’d be walking out onto Friday Night Dynasty of all places to speak about it. It’s different, but it’s also a change that I welcome — as well as a privilege. Season Seventeen has just begun. And kicking this new season off is none other than me. Fresh beginnings for many, a new start to climb the totem pole. How does that saying go? The more things change, the more that they stay the same? I believe that it’s applicable to me.
Kassidy Heart: Elite Answers Wrestling has changed so, so much in the last five years. We’ve witnessed a shift in culture, a new era bleed into the narrative. Some have risen, others have fallen and along with this promotion’s evolution, the sport has evolved onto a higher level also. Few things have stayed the same. Few who were at the top when I first laced my boots and took to the battlefield remain. Many of those who joined in the same timeframe that I had, are no longer here. We’ve seen changes in management, changes in ownership, this draft process happens every twelve months, yet there’s the odd anomaly. An outlier. Somebody that, regardless of their management, their brand, their situation — has always been successful.
Kassidy Heart: That person is me. I look to my accolades to confirm this for me, I look at all I have done for women in this sport. While so much has changed around me, my talents and my dedication to this business have stayed the same. I’m polarizing, more-so than American politics, more-so than vegemite. You either love me or you hate me — but you know of me and you respect what I can do in this ring. But I’ll hold my hands up and admit, Rhode Island, sometimes I slip-up. I’m not perfect, I’ve had my fair share of losses. But each-and-every time not only do I get back up, but I spring back to my feet and punch back, fight harder, push forward to continue evolving the Kassidy Heart brand, I accept nothing less.
Kassidy Heart: Winning this Universal Women’s Championship, it was a fight. And I’m not just talking about Bethany in that regard. Flash your minds back to Andrea Valentine. To Pain for Pride Fifteen. I didn’t get it right then, and that could’ve been it for me. I’ve seen the limelight and have thrived in that position so many times, I could have doubted myself, but no. I made a mission of improving. Of doubling down, and I reflect on the last twelve months and the battles I have been in — against names like Jake Smith, against Ms. Extreme, against Alex Myers, I reflect and I know that I can be proud of my output, proud of my evolution.
Kassidy Heart: Even then, I didn’t go about it the easy way. Some were handed championship opportunities on a plate. Others had to string together a victory or two. Whereas I? I fought against twenty-nine other participants, the cream-of-the-crop here in Elite Answers Wrestling, and I outlasted them. I outgunned them. I feel like some qualities, some victories, in this sport are enshrouded in doubt — but winning the Grand Rampage, becoming the first woman to do so, it’s a privilege and an achievement that cannot be doubted or slandered. I showed that I was superior to, better than, a Drake King or Bronson Daniels. Shine a light on my methods, my personality, whatever you wish. Many things can be said of me, but to dare mutter the notion that I’m not the most talented to ever grace this squared-circle, you would be dead wrong.
Kassidy Heart: Just like Dr. Bethany Blue was dead wrong for ever stepping to me.
Kassidy Heart: She can label it however she wishes to. But there was no justification for her attacking me from behind like she did all of those months ago. She led this promotion on a wild goose chase, and when she was revealed to be the one who blindsided me, she could not handle the consequences which were dealt to her. I’ve listened to much of what she has said even in the aftermath of our match. How she thinks, how she operates. How she wanted to prove she was a mainstay in the women’s division, a headline act, speaking on the improvement she made between her last fight against me, and the fight we were heading into at Pain for Pride. But I was quick to find the truth at its core, deduce what was really going on.
Kassidy Heart: Her actions were made out of fear. Fear of knowing she was second-best. Fear of knowing she’d need all of the advantages she could get, if she ever had a chance of facing me and pinning my shoulders to the mat, or knocking me out stone cold. In a twisted fashion, I somewhat get it. I can rationalize it. But even with every advantage, even with making the first move she sealed her own fate. Now I’m not going to spend too much time addressing the past in regards to Bethany, because what happened two weeks ago was as certain and as decisive as things could have possibly gone. I owe her nothing. No rematch, no kind words, or speeches about getting back up and fighting to get back to the top — no. I took my championship back and I’m going to outdo anything she, or any of the women who held this in recent memory, have done in this women’s division. I am one of few guarantees left in this sport.
Kassidy Heart: There’s nothing that she, or her “tick, tick boom” husband can do about it. Adam Lucas is faced with the same challenges that I am. A new champion, a target painted, hungry wolves who’ll ravage skin-from-bone to take our championships. Yet he wants to waste his time whining about a feud he was never involved in? A feud that is settled? Perhaps he isn’t the main-event caliber man we all figured him to be? Picking a fight he’s never going to win is a bold strategy, but I suppose when I really think about it, that is also what anybody I’ve ever come against has settled into doing. Trying to kill the unkillable. Trying to out-maul The Mauler.
Kassidy Heart: I’m moving on from last season, it’s old news. Now I’m fresh-faced, curated with the right attitude and hellbent on setting the right precedent heading into the new season. Taking on the best-of-the-best this women’s division has to offer, and further evolving alongside this sport and proving that so many things change, but my grip on the main event slot in this promotion is unwavering. Be it Dynasty, Showdown, Voltage, this Universal Women’s Championship grants me many opportunities to make magic. And I know there’s a certain Empress who’ll be angling to take me down. Perhaps a recently-minted Cash in the Vault holder who’ll be side-eyeing my championship. But it doesn’t matter who, when, why — I’m going to make history like I’ve always done, I’m going to showcase why I’m the best to ever do it.
Kassidy Heart: Just like I did with my year-long Answers World Championship reign. Just like I did when I won the Grand Rampage. And just like I did when I stabbed shards of glass into the sole of my boot and created a fountain of blood upon Bethany Blue’s face. I transcend the expected, I’m not even close to reaching my prime, you haven’t seen the best of Kassidy Heart but I assure you, no matter who believes themselves to be tough — you shall see the extent of my power and what I’m truly capable of soon enough. When all is said-and-done, I’ll go down as the greatest. Regardless of gender, no matter the brand, and any woman who is listening right now and believing themselves to be my equal — or dare I say my superior? I look forward to proving you wrong and showcasing my iron grip on this women’s division this season.
( Pleased with her words, Kassidy Heart lowers the microphone from her face. Partition by Beyoncé runs through the speakers once more, the Australian woman taking the championship off of her shoulder and raising it into the air once again. Kassidy Heart opts to play hunter opposed to hunted, she has fired the first shot and made the challenge. Whoever believes themselves to be worthy? Are more-than free to test their luck. However, just as we’ve seen in abundance across Kassidy’s career, the challenge of putting The Mauler down is easier said than done. We transition elsewhere as Kassidy vacates the ring, kicking-off what should be a high-octane, historic night of wrestling here on Friday Night Dynasty with quite the bang. )
( “Monsters” by Currents begins to play throughout the arena to a mass amount of rising boos, Rory Slate then making her way out onto the Dynasty stage for the first time ever in this brand new season. Rory Slate cockily taunts the crowd who greet her ever so negatively, beginning to then step her way off of the stage, making her way down the ramp and towards the squared circle. )
Bella Braxton: The following contest is a singles division match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, fighting out of Chicago, Illinois; She is “The Windy City Sadist”… ROOOOOORRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SSLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTEEEE!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Rory Slate made her way over to Dynasty on this past Draft show, and at just twenty three years old, The Fallen Angel has a whole lot of potential and time to rise up the ranks during the next twelve calendar months! I may not agree with some of her tactics and general ideas here in EAW, but what I do know is that Rory Slate will do whatever it takes to get her name out there!
Stew-O: Well said, Flannery. Rory Slate has a lot ahead of her in her EAW career, and whether you agree with Rory Slate or not won’t matter much at all when she finds that momentum deep down within her, and is able to cash win after win as if it is second nature. We have seen what she could do last season, and being on Dynasty will provide her yet a huge opportunity at glory. I see a bright path for Rory Slate, and the same can be said for this next woman who will be making her way out in just a moment!
( “Mount Sinai” by $uicideboy$ replaces Rory Slate’s theme as she gets into her corner, the crowd’s reaction staying more of the same as Nyx makes her way out onto Dynasty for the first time this season. She looks across the arena without a care towards anyone in attendance, walking down the ramp and eyeing down Rory Slate. )
Bella Braxton: And introducing her opponent, fighting out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida; She is “The Honoured One”… NYYYYYYYYYYYYYXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Oh my god, I love this girl, Nyx! Let me tell ya something, she is one of the most promising new acquisitions that this brand has to offer.. Actually, scratch that. She is one of the most promising new acquisitions that this company as a whole has to offer. Nyx holds her ego high and rightfully so. A ruthless, strong competitor in that ring, and no doubt a force to be reckoned with!
Flanneru McCoy: As Stew said before Nyx walked her way out here, both of these women have a bright road ahead of themselves, and with the way that Nyx carries herself, I see her fitting into the roster as snug as can be. She has pride, and she brings agony when it matters. Now let’s see who will be the one to walk away with a win here, tonight!
( DING! DING! DING! )
Stew-O: The two women in this match up, Rory Slate and Nyx, step towards one another in the middle of the ring and begin to lay in some verbal remarks.. Before Nyx lands with the first strike! And she begins to grab the hair of Rory Slate and turn her over, grasping down into a headlock.. But it’s The Windy City Sadist who immediately pushes out of the grip of Nyx, and lands a forearm to the chest! And now she stomps on the foot before striking Nyx in the abdomen!
Flannery McCoy: Nyx takes the shots and bounces off of the ropes as she absorbs it! She looks to come back with a running pump kick to the chest of Rory Slate.. But Rory Slate dodges out of the way and throws her arm around Nyx’s waist, dropping her down to the mats and rolling Nyx over her head and onto her knees! Rory Slate goes for a rolling kick to the side of Nyx’s dome now!
Jake Mercer: But it’s my main girl Nyx who catches the kick and throws Rory Slate to the side, turning her around three-sixty degrees.. And Nyx pops up with a HUGE uppercut into the jaw of Rory Slate! Rory Slate stumbles for a moment.. And now a chop to the chest! And a huge back hand chop to follow that up! Rory is feeling it right now! Nyx is getting the momentum early on as she then grabs Rory Slate’s arm and throws her across the ring with an Irish Whip…
Flannery McCoy: But Rory Slate is able to turn the Irish whip around however with her power, sending Nyx into the ropes instead.. But Nyx catches her with a BIG shoulder block that sends Rory Slate down onto the canvas! And Nyx begins to taunt her whilst standing above! Rory Slate looks up at Nyx for a moment, clearly unsatisfied with the results of her attempted counter, an annoyed look on her face..
Stew-O: Nyx backs up and allows for Rory Slate to get to her feet as she cockily smiles down at her opponent here tonight.. But Nyx rushes for a waist lock as soon as Rory Slate begins to get up.. However she has it scouted as she lands some back elbows to the face of Nyx! Rory Slate then runs off of the ropes and runs back towards Nyx who just now looks up..
Jake Mercer: Haha! But it is Nyx who ducks underneath Rory Slate’s attempt at a clothesline.. Ah man. But it appears that I spoke TOO SOON! Rory Slate jumps off of the middle rope that she was approaching and flies backwards, then catching Nyx with a BEAUTIFUL Tornado-DDT! And she gets up for a second in order to land a quick standing ELBOW DROP to the chest of Nyx! Now a cover!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTWWWOOO!!!
Stew-O: And a kick out at just around two for Nyx, who clearly still has a lot left in the tank! She begins to get up to her feet.. And it’s Rory Slate who grabs around Nyx waits.. AND SHE SENDS NYX OVER.. NO! Nyx lands on her feet after the German Suplex Rory Slate attempted.. And now it’s Nyx who is SUCCESSFULLY able to connect with a German Suplex of her own! But she isn’t done as she rolls through and holds onto one of Rory Slate’s arms.. THEN LETTING GO OF THE OPPOSITE AND YANKING RORY SLATE TOWARDS HERSELF FOR A MASSIVE BELLY TO BELLY!
Flannery McCoy: Incredible alertness by The Honoured One! Rory Slate now pulls herself up with the ropes and goes for a wild shot to Nyx’s head, but Nyx ducks it! And a shot to Rory Slate’s stomach by Nyx.. And a second! And now a third! ENZIGURI TO THE HEAD BY NYX! Rory Slate staggers on her feet as Nyx quickly gets back up! Nyx grabs Rory Slate’s right arm and goes underneath it, then looking to lift her up and off of the mat..
Jake Mercer: Awweee! Rory Slate gets out of it and props down onto her feet.. NECKBREAKER by Rory Slate! And she immediately begins to stomp down into Nyx upon the move before running the ropes and coming back again with a KNEE DROP into what seems to be Nyx’s throat! Nyx holds her neck as she looks to get up to a knee.. And Rory Slate grabs her by the hair and throws her into the middle of the ring. Be nice to my gurl, Rory!
Stew-O: I don’t think that will happen any time soon, Jake, as Rory Slate now runs back over to a downed Nyx… OH MY! STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS BY RORY SLATE! Incredible maneuver by this young woman as she is able to, perhaps shockingly, get a reaction from the crowd here in Rhode Island! Nyx rolls over as she holds onto her stomach, only getting up to her feet again as she pulls herself up into a corner..
Flannery McCoy: And it is Rory Slate who stays on the offensive with a running forearm smash in the corner! And now she runs back off towards the opposite side, bouncing off of the middle turnbuckle to deliver yet ANOTHER forearm smash! Nyx staggers out of the corner in a daze as Rory Slate runs back towards and she goes for a… BULLDOG! Picture perfect! Nyx goes down and rolls onto the apron, then grabbing the middle rope and lifting herself up into a seated position.
Jake Mercer: COME ON NYX! She’s standing on the apron now, and all she has to do is find an opening here.. YES! NYX DOES! Rory Slate went for a running kick to My Honoured One to send her off of the apron, but Nyx was able to grab the left leg in time and send Rory Slate’s attempt through the middle ropes.. AND NOW NYX JUMPS UP WITH HELP FROM SAID ROPES, LANDING RIGHT ON RORY SLATE’S SHIN WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! Rory is on one leg, standing in absolute agony as her left leg is draped over the middle rope still..
Stew-O: NOW NYX GRABS RORY SLATE’S LEG AND JUMPS OFF OF THE APRON, CONTORTING IT WITH A DRAGON SCREW! Rory Slate crumbles as she holds onto her shin and knee, pushing herself away and into more of the centre of the squared circle! Our referee begins to check on Rory as Nyx Rolls back in.. AND NYX DRIVES A KNEE RIGHT INTO RORY SLATE’S FACE! She hooks both legs!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTWWWOOO!!!
Jake Mercer: Dang. Rory Slate stays alive in this match-up as she gets the shoulder up, but Nyx won’t be wasting her time arguing that pin as she pulls Rory Slate up onto her feet and grabs one of the arms and goes behind.. OH! NYX IS GOING FOR THAT “HOLY GHOST” RIPCORD KNEE SIGNATURE OF HERS… BUT IT GETS CAUGHT MID-MOVE BY RORY SLATE WHO THEN ROLLS THROUGH AND TAKES NYX’S SHOULDERS DOWN TO THE MAT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTWWWOOO—
Flannery McCoy: Rory Slate was on her game right there as she was able to power out of the pin by Nyx, only to then counter a signature move of hers and take her down to the mat! But Nyx still has a lot left as both women Elitists rush to their feet.. OH WOW! A huge kick to the back of Rory Slate’s left leg, the one that was being targeted before! Rory Slate immediately grasps at it and hobbles for a moment.. AND AGAIN NYX WITH A KICK! This time it takes Rory Slate down to her knee as she favours the left leg..
Stew-O: NYX GOES FOR A SUPERKICK.. But Rory Slate had it scouted as she ducked under it whilst still on her single knee.. And now Rory Slate grabs Nyx’s from over head and rolls her through onto a knee as well, right in front of her.. NOW RORY SLATE POPS UP ONTO A SINGLE LEG WITH A SUPERKICK INSTEAD! Nyx falls back into the corner and holds her jaw as Rory Slate holds her left knee that seems to have connected awkwardly.
Jake Mercer: Thankfully Nyx was able to land safely in that corner as she now has time to recover from that kick under the jaw. Rory Slate pulls herself up with the ropes and walks along them over towards Nyx.. And she begins to stomp right into Nyx over and over again with her good leg. Rory Slate then lifts Nyx up onto her feet and goes to turn around.. A KICK TO THE BACK OF THE BAD LEFT KNEE BY NYX! RORY SLATE CRUMBLES TO THE CANVAS! And now it is Nyx who wraps around Rory Slate as she remains there on her hands and knees… AND NOW A DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX BY NYX! NYX HAS THE COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTWWWOOO!!!
TRTHHHRRR—
Flannery McCoy: Rory Slate throws the shoulder up in time! And Nyx isn’t taking this kindly as she mounts on top of Rory Slate and begins to rain down punches to the facial region! Closed fist shots that turn into forearms into the unprotected face that Rory Slate tries to cover up! Nyx is smart with it though as she lifts the attack before the official’s count of five! And Rory Slate is not looking good here. And you can hear this crowd booing the hell out of Nyx!
Jake Mercer: They don’t know what’s good for them.
Stew-O: Nyx grabs Rory Slate by the hair and lifts her up to her feet.. WOAH! A MASSIVE ELBOW STRIKE RIGHT INTO THE NOSE OF NYX BY RORY SLATE! Nyx looks shocked as she now goes for a short ranged clothesline, but it is ducked under. However the leg is lifted up towards Rory Slate’s face for an attempted knee strike… RORY SLATE CATCHES IT! AND NOW SHE SWIPES HER FOOT UNDER NYX’S OPPOSITE LEG – DROPPING HER DOWN – THEN FOLLOWING UP WITH A SINGLE LEGGED FOOT STOMP! Nyx is writhing in pain as she holds her stomach, getting up to a knee…
Flannery McCoy: Rory Slate then begins to run the ropes with Nyx getting up into a hunched over position in the middle of the ring… AND IT IS “FIFTY SHADES OF VENGEANCE” BY RORY SLATE THAT HITS THE MARK! THE MARTI-KNEES CONNECT TO THE UPPER BACK AS RORY SLATE GRABS HER LEFT LEG, PUSHING NYX OVER AND HOOKING A COVER THROUGH THE PAIN! SHE HAS IT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTWWWOOO!!!
TRTHHHRRR—
Jake Mercer: NYX KICKS OUT! Oh my god, that’s awesome! Nyx is able to push herself away from Rory Slate after powering out of that signature move, and Rory gets up to her feet as well. Nyx goes for a strike, but Rory Slate catches it and clocks Nyx with the opposite! Awe man, what happened?? Nyx holds her head from the strike..
Stew-O: And now Rory Slate lifts Nyx up.. AND SHE HAS HER IN PERFECT TORTURE RACK BOMB POSITIONING.. AND IT CONNECTS! “CLEAN SLATE” LANDS AS NYX’S BACK CRASHES DEEP INTO THE CANVAS! RORY SLATE COVERS!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTWWWOOO!!!
TTTHHHRRREEEEEE!!!
( DING! DING! DING! )
( “Monsters” by Currents sounds for a second time tonight as Rory Slate rolls off of Nyx and pushes her away, then hobbling up to her feet as she favours her hurt leg. Her hand is raised into the air by the referee as the crowd boos The Windy City Sadist, who shows not an ounce of care towards the poor reaction. )
Bella Braxton: The winner of this match… ROOOOOORRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SSLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTEEEE!!!!!
Jake Mercer: What a shame, you hate to see it. However, despite Rory Slate’s win, what can’t go unnoticed is the valiant efforts of Nyx! She showed skill, she showed heart, she showed incredible strategy by staying on that leg, and there is no doubt a bright future for her on Dynasty this coming season. I am so looking forward to it all.
Flannery McCoy: Incredible job to Rory Slate who picks up the win here tonight! She fought through the adversity that was her left leg and was then able to push herself into that next gear in order to put away another bright and aspiring Elitist on this roster, just like herself. Yes, Nyx’s efforts can’t go unnoticed, but what we see right here is the winner; Rory Slate!
Stew-O: Great job to both women! Congratulations Rory Slate!
( The camera then fades away to elsewhere as we see Rory Slate exiting the ring upon a single leg, making her way back up the ramp to a mass amount of boos from the audience in attendance. )
(Friday Night Dynasty continues on into the backstage area of the arena, cutting into Tyrone Montgomery’s office where the General Manager stands speaking with the newest additions to his management team for the Dynasty brand. However, Kensingten appears noticeably unimpressed as she even rolls her eyes and Richard Grant appears to be just as unconvinced as Tyrone seems to be in the middle of saying something.)
Tyrone Montgomery: I think it’ll be great! Limmy Monaghan defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Bronson Daniels as the headliner for Reckless Wiring is a match that people cannot wait to see-
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Is it though? :usure:
Tyrone Montgomery: I’m sure you heard the crowd’s reaction-
Richard Grant: As if that matters when once again, you’ve given the Elitists on this brand the impression that they’ll be able to do and say as they please without the slightest bit of pushback. What does it say about you to have allowed Limmy to stroll out to the ring at the Draft Show and let the first person to walk out to confront him be his next challenger?
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Because having Limmy defending against Myles when Myles was still on the Voltage roster wasn’t a bad of enough look for Dynasty, so I suppose Tyrone had to outdo himself this time. Besides, Tyrone, I’m sure you’re well aware of Bronson’s history within EAW; he’s not at all ready to be competing for the World Heavyweight Championship. One victory over Andre Walker and suddenly he’s being allowed to challenge Limmy uncontested? Bronson shows a spark that lasts a good moment but it’s always been just that – a moment. He’s shown time and again that he is not at all prepared to go for the long haul; going consistently against adversity of a main event magnitude is not his strong suit.
Richard Grant: Next it’ll be The Visual Prophet and Angelo D’Angelo stomping back over to Dynasty challenging for the Championship expecting that you’ll cater to them when they start going on their tirades about being “oppressed” and “unfair treatment”, and they couldn’t have been shipped off this brand fast enough as far as I’m concerned. Everyone knows they were nothing but trouble, and we’re going to end up with nothing but more trouble if we don’t show that we’re not going to bend the knee to loud-mouth, attention-seeking hooligans looking to do as they please and run roughshod over our authority like common thugs.
Tyrone Montgomery: Common what now? :mjpls:
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Oh, please, don’t even try to go there and make it about something that it’s absolutely not, Tyrone. I swear, people can’t say anything these days without a trigger warning or getting their words twisted by others who get so offended over every little-
(Suddenly, there’s a knock at the door and the conversation between the three is cut short when it opens by Drake Armstrong, who makes his way into the room with a self-satisfied smile on his face. He knows he just brought whatever was being discussed to a stop but he has their attention now and that was obviously what he was after.)
Drake Armstrong: Sorry for the interruption but seeing as how this is the first Dynasty of the new Season, I just had to come in and introduce myself. Drake Armstrong is sure to be a name you’re all familiar with soon enough if you aren’t already-
(Drake had put his hand out for Richard to shake and Richard welcomes him, as does Kensingten when she shakes his hand as well.)
Richard Grant: We’re very much aware, trust me. You came very close to winning that 24/7 Contract Battle Royal at Pain for Pride – lasting up until the final two before you got eliminated – and believe me when I say that that did not go unnoticed! Friday Night Dynasty is very fortunate to have a talent like you on the show.
Drake Armstrong: Thank you, thank you. I’m glad you’re all taking notice because it was very important to me when I was back on Showdown for Kennedy Street to know that she and I were going to have a great work relationship. Letting me go wasn’t the wisest move on her part as far as I’m concerned when it comes to that matter, being the rising star that I am, because there’s no doubt in my mind that Showdown would’ve been ranked just that much higher. Obviously, that’s not where I ended up in the Draft but I wanted you all to know that I’m certainly looking to have an even better experience with management here on Dynasty knowing that I was wanted here for a reason and I can assure you with the utmost confidence that you’re not going to be left disappointed.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Oh, now that’s something we love to hear, isn’t that right, Richard? I mean, my goodness, the amount of wrestlers that get all caught up in wanting to be all against authority and whatnot just for some cheap attention is so pathetic and played out after all this time if you ask me. Knowing you’re more than willing to work with us is such a breath of fresh air – and you’re so respectful, too! You’ve got a good head on your shoulders, so that’s why it’s no surprise to me at all that people saw your performance at Pain for Pride and wanted to start assuming that you could have a promising future here in EAW.
Drake Armstrong: I mean, what more can really be said about those so-called agitators that only seek to provoke their betters and annoy their bosses that you haven’t already yourself? That’s why I truly can’t be bothered to follow in the footsteps of mediocre filth, because they’re so commonplace, so pedestrian – walking cliches. But me? I’m different. I’m everything they’re not. It’s another point as to why those assumptions about my future are going to get proven to be a fact in due time, of course, and I can already tell that Dynasty is going to be THE brand that I make that happen on with a welcoming like this. With my worth ethic, my drive, proving that my success and the Armstrong name here in EAW was all set for greatness is something I’m not going to take lightly.
Tyrone Montgomery: Wait, I can appreciate the fact that you’ve got a desire to make it to the top and that you’re hungry to show it, but I just want to let you know that whatever was going on between you and Kennedy isn’t going to end up like that over here on-
(Kensingten, appearing irritated that Tyrone spoke up, puts her hand up in Tyrone’s face to get him to stop talking.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Now is that any way to welcome an up-and-coming star, Tyrone? Here Drake is making a great first impression and all you can think to do is drag his name through the mud with accusations! My god, show some respect!
(Kesingten rolls her eyes in annoyance as if she can’t believe that Tyrone would think to do something as supposedly “disrespectful” as remind them of Drake Armstrong working with Kennedy Street.)
Richard Grant: You’ll have to excuse him, Drake, Tyrone here isn’t used to having the members of his roster ACTUALLY acknowledging his authority and respecting him.
Drake Armstrong: Well, lucky for him, I can tell that he’s got a good team here to help him out and point him in the right direction, like knowing who to keep his eyes on and who’s going to be making the biggest impact. See, I’m more than willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done and I’m going to keep putting in that work – work that I wouldn’t otherwise have to do but CHOOSE to do and that’s what separates me from the rest of the field. If anyone stupidly thought I’d be content with a second-place showing in the 24/7 Battle Royal, they’re going to be dumbfounded with what I plan to have in store going into the future. If you want an example of just what I mean, be sure to tune into my match against Danny Cage tonight and you all can trust that there won’t be the slightest tinge of disappointment with how I kick this new Season off.
(Drake nods confidently and offers his thanks to the management team for their time before he exits from the office, the door shutting behind him to leave the three to themselves.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Isn’t he just so-
Tyrone Montgomery: Shady? I’m sorry, but for as promising as he could be, I’m just not gonna be so quick to forget that that’s the same man who had help from Kennedy Street to steal a win over Ms. Extreme back on Showdown and acted like such a suck-up. We shouldn’t be too relaxed knowing that when it comes to him.
Richard Grant: So, what? We’re supposed to hold that against him now, Tyrone? Try not to be so judgemental; with a mentality like that, you’d be setting yourself and your brand up for failure, and someone like you really can’t afford that.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Ugh, forget about him for now, Richard! It’s going to be a minute before he even starts to understand what you mean-
Tyrone Montgomery: Well, for “someone like me”, part of me thinks I already do :mjpls:
(Kensingten simply waves Tyrone off dismissively.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: You’re worried about nothing, Tyrone. An employee wanting to get off on the right foot with his officials, how awful. Someone get the police. Call the national guard. It’s a travesty. 🙄 It’s not like he’s a reigning Champion sneaking out of defending at Pain for Pride or having World Title matches against Elitists from a different brand because his General Manager is okay with a little “interpromotional fun” at one of the biggest shows of the year.
Tyrone Montgomery: Are you gonna let any of that go? :mjpls:
Richard Grant: Don’t backtalk her. Now, back to more important matters…
(Just as Richard begins to continue speaking with Kensingten and Tyrone listening on, the scene fades out.)
( The Leaving Song Pt. II – AFI begins to play through the sound system, and The Amica Mutual Arena responds with cheers in abundance! Hans Grayson, who won the New Breed Championship at Pain for Pride in Nashville, walks out onto the entrance stage. With a match against Joso scheduled for later on in the night, “Fire Heart” is attired in his in-ring gear. He takes that championship he won two weeks ago — in a gruelling match against Caroline, no less, and raises it high, earning a thunderous cheer from the Rhode Island natives, as well as those who have traveled from across the globe to be here tonight! Hans begins to walk down the entrance ramp heading straight to the ring, this is where we now transition over to the commentary table and Stew-O, Flannery McCoy and Jake Mercer are ready-and-waiting. )
Stew-O: We kicked off tonight’s show with a champion making their way over to Friday Night Dynasty from Saturday Night Showdown — I’m getting a sense of déjà vu here, folks! The New Breed Champion, Hans Grayson, joins the red brand from our blue-branded foes and further strengthens the ranks, as well as the notion that Dynasty is where future stars are formed! It’s been an impressive nine-or-so months for Hans, who along with his in-ring talents is a multimedia, multi-million subscribed-to star across a multitude of platforms!
Jake Mercer: Jeez, Stew-O, do you have multi on your bingo card tonight? But yes, Hans has so far lived up to the potential in his short-but-sweet wrestling career. Me? I thought he was destined to flop, and would return to YouTube with his tail tucked between his legs to make shorts about the Grimace shake, or eating Tide Pods or something to that extent — but no! He has proven me, and many, many people wrong! And you could argue that Hans picked up the biggest victory of his career against the now former champion, Caroline.
Flannery McCoy: Hans has fought against some top, top stars in the nine months he has been in Elite Answers Wrestling. Now? It’s a new season, he’s coming into it off a surge of momentum and now with that New Breed Championship around his waist? A target will be painted on his back. There’s an abundance of talented, young, insatiable superstars who will be eyeing-up the gold around Hans waist. But I have a feeling that “Fire Heart” will relish such challenges.
( Grayson totters up the steel steps and gets into the ring. He takes a minute-or-so to soak in the applause, the cheers, the young children in the front row who’ll have grown up watching his content both inside and outside of the wrestling world. He then gestures for a microphone from a ringside attendant and waits for his entrance music to die down. )
Hans Grayson: I remember the day that I signed with this company. It trended, it went viral, as most signings do. But the majority of tweets I saw, the messages which crossed my screen, they weren’t the usual messages you’d associate with a young, athletic talent making the big leap to Elite Answers Wrestling. I didn’t see wishes of good luck, or that I’d “earnt” this opportunity. Instead, people said I didn’t deserve this. That Elite Answers Wrestling had made a mistake — taking on a talentless, delusional social media star, who thought that his clout and his following would be enough to survive the deep, deep waters of the biggest company in the industry. And you know, I hate to start off on a negative note, because we have so much to celebrate and we have so much to get into, a new season especially, but…
Hans Grayson: … Damn, man, it hurt seeing that reaction. But nine months later, nine months later I can say that I’ve done a lot, things I’d never dreamt of doing before. I’ve faced legends of the business, Impact being one of them, I’ve picked up wins against hungry, skilled, amazing competitors who I watched tape on when I was training for this. And at Pain for Pride, I did the unthinkable. I did what few, few people who tune in week-on-week thought I could do. I marched onto the biggest stage this sport has never known and I took gold home with me. I defeated someone of Caroline’s caliber. Her talent, tenacity, her hunger, of which she’s proven in dividends and I was the one to stop her, to win this New Breed Championship.
Hans Grayson: Yeah, I’m used to hate. When you do the things I’ve done in my past, avoiding hate is simply out of the question. It’s the nature of the beast — but damn, Rhode Island, did it feel good to prove all those people who doubted me wrong. I feel like I get to be a little selfish here and say that, yeah, I was driven not purely on good vibes and well-wishes, but driven to push that extra ten-percent based on people believing that I didn’t belong. I feel like I curated a defining moment, that what I achieved against Caroline was big — not just for me, either. But a new generation of men and women. A new generation who someday, will match-up with the likes of an Impact, or a Kassidy Heart, or a Jamie O’Hara as the frontrunners in this business.
Hans Grayson: I think about some of the great, great names that have joined Elite Answers Wrestling in the last nine-to-twelve months. Names like Mercer McKay, or Valerie Hellstorm, or even somebody like Delilah Rose. They’re talented, they have heart, passion, every characteristic necessary to rise to the top like cream and take over the main event scene. There’s so many names that I’m probably forgetting a few, just look across the three brands this week alone and the work being put in. It’s extraordinary, a new era has arrived.
Hans Grayson: And as I hold this New Breed Championship, I feel purpose. I feel a duty to say that I’m the leader — the leader of a new school and a new age of upstart wrestlers who are working their asses off not to be a part of the furniture here in Elite Answers Wrestling, put to push out the old-guard. To thrive, to rise to the top like I have already said. It’s exciting. Because this piece of gold opens up so many opportunities, for me to grow not only my own profile, but to put this new school on the map and have some of the best, most exciting —
( Dead Opps by DD Osama & Notti Osama screams through the P.A. system, bringing Hans monologue to a standstill and the crowd’s reaction to sour. Michael Machina, riding a big win on the EAW Draft Show, has arrived on Dynasty! And what a streak he has been on — unpinned and unsubmitted thus far in his time in Elite Answers Wrestling. We’re not going to hear from the commentary team on this one, because Michael Machina comes out heated, microphone in hand and screaming for his music to be cut off. “The Moneymaker” has something to say! )
Michael Machina: Cut my music, I said stop my music! And you can shut your mouths too, Rhode Island! You know, Hans, that was nice. Your little speech. You came out here and spoke about evolving, about proving the doubters wrong — I liked that. It was cute, picturesque, and wouldn’t look out-of-place in some lovey-dovey romcom movie. But see, I can’t help but feel a little disrespected, a little slighted. Because you speak of the new school, you speak of all these great, young, hungry wrestlers who are gunning for that championship, yet instead of naming the biggest threat to that New Breed Championship, you name a bunch of bums.
Michael Machina: It’s a good tactic, and you almost got away with it. Pushing out that cheese about transitioning into the wrestling business and getting that big, big win over Caroline. And you tried to slide it in, potential challengers, naming people like Delilah Rose and Mercer McKay, as if they’re the top dogs of this new school that you speak of. You want my opinion? It’s a bunch of horsecrap. You’re naming paper challengers, people who you know you’d be able to wrestle rings around. And I stood backstage, bewildered. Maybe you’re afraid. Afraid of stepping into the ring with someone like me, The MoneyMaker, the future of this business and this company because you know — you’d lose that championship in record time, buddy.
Michael Machina: I’m not buying that you merely forgot to mention me. Because the big impact I’ve made in the small time I’ve been around — it’s difficult to ignore. Unpinned, unsubmitted and I’ll even put it in terms you’ll understand. I’m forever-trending. I proved what I’m about and why I deserve a shot at the New Breed Championship on Draft Night. And if you’re still going to sit there with a big, dumb grin on your face and try to deny me then I’ll have no problem running through and dominating Mercer McKay tonight, either. Then you and all of these people will see why this season isn’t about Hans Grayson’s rise — but his demise at the hands of —
Jake Mercer: Oh, come on!
Stew-O: Another interruption, this time by none other than Drake Armstrong!
( Pride and Arrogance by Takeru Kanazaki is the next entrance theme to hit the speakers, and the boos and jeers which rain through The Amica Mutual Arena are arguably even louder than they were for “The Moneymaker” moments before! Drake Armstrong, another recent draftee to Friday Night Dynasty, struts out with a confident, shit-eating grin situated on his face. Hans throws his hands up, it’s evident he’s never going to get to finish his point, while Michael Machina — of who Drake faced and lost to on that aforementioned draft show, shakes his head from side-to-side, on the cusp of chopping Drake down where he stands. Drake speaks! )
Drake Armstrong: I really hate to impose on this cute little rendezvous, but if we’re speaking on credible challengers for that New Breed Championship, then there’s a line and Michael, you’re nowhere close to being at the front of it. Unpinned and unsubmitted sounds awfully impressive, but I’m fairly certain that the ink hasn’t even dried on your full-time contract here in EAW. I’m at the front of the line, I am the future of this business and for good reason. Kennedy Street knows it, Heidi Huxley knows it, and while I didn’t win the 24/7 Battle Royal at Pain for Pride, I came damn well close to doing so, and if that alone doesn’t showcase how great I am? Then look at all the things I accomplished in Season sixteen as proof that I deserve a shot at that title.
Drake Armstrong: The victories I have, against the likes of Ms. Extreme for example. I was becoming a centerpiece on Saturday Night Showdown, and if there’s one thing associated with my name it is that I am the future of this company — but I know what you’re going to say. That happened last season, all the good things I did, they’re no longer relevant. But see, I don’t like that attitude. And I hate to embellish, but if you’re allowed to speak about being unpinned and making out like you’re some machine — and if Hans is allowed to talk on his growth here, then why am I not allowed to do the same? It’s one rule for you guys and another rule for me.
Drake Armstrong: Because that is the only way you can discredit me. And let’s not get into the Draft Show — let’s not act like you merely beating me to the punch and taking out the weakest link in that four-way match moves you ahead of me, because it doesn’t, and neither will a victory over Mercer McKay tonight. It’s a new season, and we’re going to see legends fall and new stars take their place, the road begins again and it’s all very exciting. But that simply does not discredit prior results, past victories, the struggles I’ve been through to get to the level that I am at — which is to challenge for and win that New Breed Championship sitting around your —
( Hans Grayson brings the microphone to his lips. After first being interrupted by Michael and now Drake behind him, he’s heard more-than enough to retort. )
Hans Grayson: Hey, hey, enough. Listen, I’m not going to just stand in this ring while the two of you figure out between you who is deserving of a shot at my title. Matter-of-fact? I don’t think that either of you have done enough. The names I listed, they’re credible. They are talented and while I appreciate you both are under the impression you’re better than I am, that’s something that’s so easy to state and yet so difficult to back-up. It’s tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum out here. The three of us all have matches tonight, why does this have to be some instantaneous thing? I get that you’re both excited to lose to me — but come on, this is uncivilized, and playing wrestling mathematics is going to get us nowhere into deciding who gets first crack at my title.
Drake Armstrong: Oh, you’re not “going to listen” to me? Ah, my apologies, I didn’t realize that your time was so valuable that you can’t stand to hear from the common person. Of course, you’re too busy speaking about “growing and overcoming” the odds — and all you needed to do it was millions of social media followers and millions in the bank account to get your foot in the door! Get real, Hans. Look, what you did at Pain for Pride was mightily impressive, but one victory does not mean you’re the “leader” of the new era, not at all, you have so far to go before you can even begin to believe that, and I’m not going to let you get to that point.
Michael Machina: Actually, that’s going to be me. I’m going to smash through Mercer McKay tonight and then whenever Hans wants to take the stabilizers off, he’s going to face me and I’m going to run through him and win the New Breed Championship. But don’t worry, Drake. After I live up to my name and the dominance I’ve shown so far in my career, you can have first crack and lose to me — just like you lost to me on the Draft Show last weekend!
( Drake, Hans and Michael begin speaking over each other, trying to make their voices heard with things getting louder, and more unintelligible. That is until Dynasty’s own General Manager Tyrone Montgomery walks out from backstage, looking less-than impressed. Hans has even rolled out of the ring and has began making his way up the ramp, while Drake and Michael are inches from one another, and had it not been for Tyrone’s appearance we could have seen things turn physical in this three-way conversation revolving around the new era of EAW! )
Tyrone Montgomery: Gentlemen, please, let’s calm things down now here alright? Drake, Michael, the two of you have made very persuasive cases. Myself, as well as all these people here tonight, are fortunate. Fortunate to have so much talent here on Dynasty who are motivated and who have the passion not to stagnate, but to come out here on the first show of the season and try to secure themselves a shot at the New Breed Championship!
Tyrone Montgomery: Now a point was raised about the three of you all having matches tonight — but truth be told, I do think going off of last week’s Draft Show, we can figure out who is more deserving of a shot at Hans’ New Breed Championship. Michael, you have been very impressive in your short time here in Elite Answers Wrestling, and one of the reasons that we drafted you to Friday night’s is due to that unpinned-and-unsubmitted record.
Tyrone Montgomery: And that isn’t to say you don’t have a future here on Dynasty, Drake. But the way that I see it, the most fair way to contrast-and-compare who deserves this shot the most out of the two of you, is to look at the head-to-head record. Going off of the most recent match the two of you have had — it’s all the same. But you’re so talented, Drake, but I don’t think it’s too unfair to say that your record on Showdown last season was a little mixed, and some of your victories perhaps came not due to your talent, but due to a less-than ethical relationship built up between yourself, Heidi Huxley and Showdown’s General Manager, Kennedy Street.
Tyrone Montgomery: So, with all of that in mind, at Reckless Wiring we’ll see —
???: Steady on, now, let’s not rush into any dumb decisions.
( Further confusion — of which is piled atop of this already complex, delicate scenario, is added to the mixture as Tyrone Montgomery is cut off. Coming out from the back is none other than Kensingten Calhoun-Astor and Richard Grant, who were put in place to guide Tyrone Montgomery’s vision for Friday Night Dynasty this coming season! Montgomery, perhaps sensing what’s about to come, rolls his eyes. The three active wrestlers scattered on the entrance ramp, have their interest piqued. It appeared Michael Machina vs. Hans Grayson was about to be announced for Reckless Wiring. What do Kensingten and Richard have to say? )
Richard Grant: Tyrone, Kensi and I appreciate the forward-thinking. But in this case, we believe you’re a little confused. Unpinned and unsubmitted, it sounds great on paper. But that doesn’t mean that Michael is undefeated. I’m certain the kid has a bright future, but let’s show some loyalty and pass forward the good-manners and well-wishes Drake showed to us earlier tonight. Maybe you see some of yourself in Michael, but between the three of us, it’s pretty clear you’re overruled on this decision in particular. Drake even said he’s been putting good work in. Coming runner-up in the 24/7 Battle Royal, it’s no joke, and on another night he would’ve beaten that, in my own opinion, overrated talentless hack Roberto de la Rosa.
Richard Grant: Now, the two of us were brought in to maintain order. To ensure that the right decisions are being made here after a shoddy couple of months from your end, such as letting Limmy Monaghan compete, while injured, in a cross-branded match at Pain for Pride. Putting Hans Grayson and Michael Machina together at Reckless Wiring? It just reeks of that same old storytelling which brought Kensingten and I to Dynasty in the first place. With all of this in mind, we have been watching and discussing — we’ve decided, at Reckless Wiring, the New Breed Championship will indeed be on the line! But instead of Michael Machina getting that opportunity, instead it will be Drake Armstrong facing Hans Grayson!
( Thunderous boos ring out around all of Rhode Island at this announcement. Drake Armstrong smirks from ear-to-ear, whereas Michael begins shouting with his face going beetroot-red, while Hans Grayson seems long-disconnected from this entire, off-the-wheels ordeal! Tyrone Montgomery interjects — albeit, he is cut off almost instantaneously. )
Tyrone Montgomery: Now hold on a second here —
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Tyrone, this isn’t personal. Richard and I have a lot of experience in regards to doing what’s best for business. We bring revenue in, and while Michael is the flavor of the month right now — as soon as someone beats him, that star dims. Whereas Drake has been so consistent on Showdown since signing with Elite Answers Wrestling, and we believe he’s earned this opportunity not just with one result, but all of them, as well as having the right attitude in regards to collaborating with management. Trust us, this is the right thing to do, and in due time you’ll see that Richard and I were right to make this decision!
( Kensingten and Richard, pleased with their decision, walk off. Michael, seconds out from securing a championship match at Reckless Wiring, is sounding off to Tyrone, who is sympathetic to his dilemma albeit frustrated with being double-crossed and belittled by those placed in a position to help and assist him. But he knows a back-and-forth on live television would not be great for business. This leaves Hans Grayson who, after a brief face-off with Drake Armstrong, walks to the back. Ladies and gentlemen, in a couple of moments we’re going to see Drake face-off one-on-one with Danny Cage! Do not go anywhere! )
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Stephie Love: Introducing first… From Scarsdale, New York… Weighing in at 260 pounds… “THE FUTURE” DRAAAAAAAKE ARRRRRRMSTROOOOONG!!!
Jake Mercer: This guy is simply one of the best up and coming elitist and he has a lot to prove after back to back losses… but knowing him, he’s here to send out a message and do it masterfully!
Stew-O: For someone who claims to be better than the rest, Drake Armstrong hasn’t had a good day in weeks seeing he’s had two back to back losses and was drafted away from Showdown when he was promised a spot on that roster. He is definitely on a mission here tonight that’s for certain!
(‘DNA.’ by Kendrick Lamar replaces Drake Armstrong’s theme song as Danny Cage walks out as he’s focused on his competition tonight, not even batting an eye at the fans who boo him as he makes his way down the ramp.)
Flannery McCoy: Strength and power, this is what this match is about as two very strong and powerful elitists try to prove their worth here on Dynasty, as Danny is here to try and prove that anyone in front of him is nothing but vermin that needs to be exterminated!
Jake Mercer: Both these men have a lot to prove as they were not able to win the 24/7 contract at Pain For Pride, and Drake Armstrong wasn’t able to pick up a win during the Draft show… but best believe Drake will prevail from this slump he currently is in here tonight and the rest of this season will be his!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: We are underway as Danny Cage attempts to put Drake Armstrong into a German suplex right from the get go, but Armstrong using his strength and speed is able to escape from Danny Cage’s grasp by pushing him to the side as he smirks a bit before adjusting his wrist tape!
Jake Mercer: Look at that man’s technique people! There’s many reasons why Drake Armstrong is known as “The Future” and that right there is one of them!
Flannery McCoy: Seriously? We have seen more impressive stuff compared to that… LIKE THAT MASSIVE CHOP FROM DANNY CAGE LEAVING A MARK ON DRAKE ARMSTRONG’S CHEST! DANNY NOW GOING FOR ANOTHER CHOP AS HE STARTS TO LIGHT UP ARMSTRONG’S CHEST AS HE GOES FOR A FINAL ONE DROPPING DRAKE ARMSTRONG ON HIS BEHIND AS HE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING!
Jake Mercer: That ladies and gentlemen is called having a breather, some of the best to ever do it often do this to maintain their stamina BUT ALSO TO CAPITALIZE ON THE OCCASION AS DRAKE ARMSTRONG PUNCHES DANNY CAGE AS HE TRIED TO EXIT THE RING TO BRING DRAKE BACK IN! DRAKE ARMSTRONG NOW ROLLING BACK INTO THE RING AND QUICKLY PUTS DANNY CAGE IN A HEADLOCK!
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) The full package right here in display ladies and gentlemen!
Stew-O: DRAKE ARMSTRONG GETTING TOO COCKY VERY EARLY IN THE MATCH AS DANNY CAGE SLIPS FROM THE HEADLOCK QUICKLY TRANSITIONING TO DRAKE ARMSTRONG’S LEGS AS HE SLOWLY PICKS UP THE 260 LBS OF PURE MUSCLE THAT MAKE UP DRAKE ARMSTRONG AS HE DROPS HIM DOWN FOR A MASSIVE POWERBOMB! DANNY CAGE NOW YELLING AT ARMSTRONG WITH A SMIRK ON HIS FACE!
Danny Cage: (off-mic) YOU ARE NOT ON MY LEVEL! STAY DOWN LIKE THE VERMIN YOU TRULY ARE!
Flannery McCoy: Drake Armstrong now trying to pick himself up, but Danny Cage quickly slapping Drake’s head as he puts him in a headlock of his own, but Drake using his strength training is able to slowly stand up using Danny Cage’s body as support and GOES FOR A MASSIVE WAISTLOCK TAKEDOWN! DRAKE NOW DOING JUMPING JACKS ALMOST MOCKING DANNY’S ATTEMPT AT A HEADLOCK!
Jake Mercer: Why wouldn’t he be mocking a sad attempt at replicating a man who can expertly use a waistlock takedown that many have used in the past to win world championships, world championship people, c’mon now! Great job from “The Future” as always, now going for some grounded knee smashes on Danny Cage’s head as he slowly picks him back up and puts him in a guillotine chokehold!
Flannery McCoy: Don’t get too excited now, as Danny Cage uses his strength and power to pick up Drake Armstrong while still being in that chokehold as HE SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A MODIFIED BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! WHAT A SHOWCASE OF STRENGTH AND TECHNIQUE FROM BOTH THESE ELITIST HERE TONIGHT!
Stew-O: You can say that again as Danny Cage climbs up to the top rope as he signals for something and HE JUMPS OFF AS HE HITS DRAKE ARMSTRONG WITH A MASSIVE FROG SPLASH! HE GOES FOR THE COVER
ONEEEEE!
TWOOOOOO!
THR-!
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS ABLE TO KICK OUT AS DANNY CAGE BEGINS TO YELL AT REFEREE ABOUT COUNTING TOO SLOW! DANNY IS ALL UP ON THE REFEREE’S FACE TOO DISTRACTED TO NOTICE DRAKE ARMSTRONG GETTING BACK UP AS HE GOES FOR A MASSIVE CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF DANNY’S LEG AS DRAKE QUICKLY PICKS UP DANNY AND GIVES HIM A POWERBOMB OF HIS OWN!
Stew-O: HE’S NOT DONE JUST YET AS DRAKE ARMSTRONG SLOWLY PICKS UP DANNY CAGE FOR A DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX AND HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOO!
THR-!
Jake Mercer: DANNY CAGE IS ABLE TO KICK OUT AS DRAKE ARMSTRONG SLAMS HIS FIST DOWN ON THE MAT AS HE STARTS PICKING UP DANNY CAGE AND YELLS AT HIM’
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) I’M NOT ON YOUR LEVEL, I AM PAST YOUR LEVEL YOU PEASANT!
Stew-O: DRAKE ARMSTRONG WITH ANOTHER SLAP TO THE FACE AS HE PICKS UP DANNY CAGE ONCE AGAIN AS HE IRISH WHIPS HIM TO THE ROPES AND GRABS HIM ON THE REBOUND WITH A SPINEBUST-
Flannery McCoy: DANNY SLIPS AWAY AS HE GRABS DRAKE FROM BEHIND AND HITS HIM WITH A DRAGON SUPLEX, BUT HE’S NOT DONE AS HE PICKS UP DRAKE ARMSTRONG QUICKLY IN A POWERBOMB POSITION AS HE RUNS TO THE TURNBUCKLE AND CONNECTS WITH A BUCKLE BOMB! DANNY CAGE NOW FOR ANOTHER COVER!
ONEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOO!
THRE-!
Flannery McCoy: ARMSTRONG KICKS OUT YET AGAIN, AND DANNY CAGE IS LOOKING VERY FRUSTRATED, WHAT IS HE LOOKING FOR HERE AS HE YELLS “GET UP!” TO DRAKE ARMSTRONG?!?
Jake Mercer: IF YOU DID SOME RESEARCH YOU’D KNOW IT’S CALLED THE “KILLER CAGE” AS DANNY CAGE RUNS TOWARDS THE GROGGY DRAKE ARMSTRONG AND CONNECTS WITH A HUGE SPEAR! OH MY GOD THE “KILLER CAGE” CONNECTS AS DANNY CAGE LOOKS AT HIS OPPONENT AS HE GOES FOR ANOTHER COVER!
ONEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEE-!
Flannery McCoy: YOU DON’T NEED RESEARCH TO KNOW THAT THE “KILLER CAGE” WASN’T ENOUGH TO PUT DOWN DRAKE ARMSTRONG! DANNY CAGE LOOKS AT DRAKE ARMSTRONG FURIOUSLY AS HE BEGINS TO UNLEASH MOUNTED PUNCHES ON THE HEIR OF THE ARMSTRONG DYNASTY! IT DOESN’T SEEM THAT DANNY HAS ANY REASON TO STOP, BUT THE REFEREE STARTS TELLING DANNY THAT IT’S ENOUGH AS HE BEGINS TO COUNT HIM AS HE GETS OFF ARMSTRONG RELUCTANTLY ALLOWING DRAKE TO ROLL TOWARDS THE ROPES TO CATCH HIS BREATH!
Jake Mercer: Truly a future main event caliber elitist with ring awareness like that! I mean they just don’t make talent as good as Drake Armstrong, a man who was able to beat a bear with just one arm as his other arm was tied behind his back! It’s a true story!
Stew-O: Uh huh… it’s probably as true as that story you told me about that other time where you actually got a dinner date of your wrestling knowledge…
Flannery McCoy: True or more likely false, it doesn’t matter as DANNY CAGE OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A DEVASTATING ELBOW DROP TO THE OUTSIDE ON DRAKE ARMSTRONG AS IT CONNECTS AND DANNY PICKING UP DRAKE AND THROWING HIM BACK IN THE RING AS HE BEGINS TO GLOAT TOWARDS THE FANS! CAN YOU BELIEVE THE EGO ON THIS GUY? IT’S BAD ENOUGH HE CALLS HIMSELF THE DEMIGOD!
Stew-O: HIS EGO CAME TO BITE HIM BACK AS DRAKE FROM BEHIND THROWS HIM BACK IN THE RING AND STARTS PUNCHING DANNY IN A MOUNT POSITION AS BE QUICKLY GETS OFF HIM AND SLOWLY PICKS HIM BACK UP FOR A DDT OF SOME SORT!
Jake Mercer: DANNY SLIPS BY AS HE PUTS DRAKE IN A DDT OF HIS OWN AND DRAKE ARMSTRONG’S HEAD CONNECTS TO THE MAT, BUT DANNY CAGE IS NOT DONE YET AS HE PICKS UP DRAKE ARMSTRONG AND IRISH WHIPS HIM TO THE ROPE TO CONNECT WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT AS DANNY DOESN’T GIVE DRAKE ANY ROOM TO BREATHE AS HE HEADS TO THE TOP ROPE AND GOES FOR A DIVING KNEE DROP! DANNY NOW WITH THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEE-!
Jake Mercer: THE FUTURE WITH A KICK OUT AS DANNY SEEMS TO TRY AND PUT DRAKE ARMSTRONG INTO A SUBMISSION HOLD OF SOME SORT, BUT DRAKE USING HIS GENIUS INTELLECT GRAPPLES HIMSELF TO GET THE ADVANTAGE AS DRAKE STARTS APPLYING AN ABDOMINAL STRETCH TO DANNY CAGE; AND NOW, HE APPLIES AN ABDOMINAL CLAW TO THE ALREADY-STRETCHED ABDOMEN! HE CALLS THIS THE “BOURGEOIS BITE” NOW THE QUESTION IS, WILL DANNY CAGE TAP OUT HERE TONIGHT?!? THE REFREE NOW GETTING CLOSER TO BETTER EXAMINE AS DRAKE ARMSTRONG STARTS TALKING TO DANNY CAGE AGAIN!
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) One step closer and three steps back ain’t that right Danny? HEY REFEREE, ASK HIM! ASK HIM NOW!
Flannery McCoy: DANNY IS STRUGGLING TO GET OUT OF THIS SUBMISSION HOLD, BUT HE IS FIGHTING THROUGH AS HE SLOWLY STARTS PUSHING DRAKE ARMSTRONG TO THE ROPES AS THE REFEREE STARTS TO COUNT TO FIVE! THE REFEREE IS UP TO FOUR AS DRAKE ARMSTRONG RELEASES THE HOLD BUT NOT BEFORE DANNY CAGE IRISH WHIPS HIM TO THE ROPES AND RUNS TOWARDS DRAKE AS HE BOUNCES OFF THE ROPE AND MEETS ONE OF DANNY CAGES BRUTAL CLOTHESLINE, BUT DRAKE GETS UP JUST TO GET HIT WITH A SECOND CLOTHESLINE AS DANNY PICKS HIM UP TO HIT DRAKE WITH A THIRD CLOTHESLINE!
Stew-O: It seems Danny ain’t done just yet as “The DemiGod” as he’s looking for another “Killer Cage” spear, as Drake gets up AND DANNY CAGE RUNS TOWARDS DRAKE ARMSTRONG TO CONNECT WITH THE SPEAR!
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE ARMSTRONG WAS READY FOR THAT AS HE IS ABLE TO PICK UP THE RUNNING CAGE FOR A DEVASTATING SPINEBUSTER! HE GOES FOR THE COVER NOW!
ONEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEE-!
Stew-O: DANNY CAGE KICKS OUT AS DRAKE ARMSTRONG LEANS ON THE ROPE AS HE YELLS TO DANNY TO STAND UP AS DANNY CAGE SLOWLY STANDS UP A BIT GROGGY AS DRAKE ARMSTRONG USES THE ROPES TO RUN TOWARD HIS OPPONENT AS HE CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK RIGHT INTO THE WEAKENED ABDOMEN OF DANNY CAGE!
Jake Mercer: HE CALLS THAT THE “HALBERD FROM HELL” AND IT’S A DEVASTATING MOVE IF USED AFTER DRAKE ARMSTRONG EXECUTES HIS “BOURGEOIS BITE” SUBMISSION HOLD, AND NOW DRAKE ARMSTRONG WITH THE COVER AS HE USES THE ROPES FOR SUPPORT!
ONEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… DRAAAAAAAAAKE AAAAAAAAAARMSTROOOOOOOONG!
Flannery McCoy: Drake Armstrong gets the win after surviving against The Demigod, Danny Cage and stealing the win here tonight all thanks to the ropes he used to make sure Danny stayed down!
Jake Mercer: It’s called strategy and it works! Drake is kicking off his first official match on Dynasty this season with a win on the record book and big things will be coming for “The Future” VERY soon!
Stew-O: Danny Cage however won’t be too happy that this match was stolen from him all thanks to that rope assisted pin Drake used to assure his victory here tonight!
(‘Pride and Arrogance’ by Takeru Kanazaki hits as Drake Armstrong is seen quickly getting out of the ring as he smirks and tells the fans that the future is NOW and the only dynasty that matters here is the Armstrong Dynasty as he raises both hands by the stage celebrating his win here tonight before the scene fades away.)
(Dynasty fades back to the stage, and ‘CHAINSAW BLOOD’ by Vaundy hits, causing a huge explosion of cheers to come from the crowd. Usually this would be more of a mixed reaction, but seeing all of the new Interwire Champion’s hard work pay off at the biggest event of the entire year was enough to get the fans in Rhode Island on his side for tonight. They are all cheering, and the cheers only grow louder as pyro and fireworks go off at the stage.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen… Please welcome the NEW Interwire Champion… “THE ARTIST”, JAY JERRY JOHNSON!!!!
(Jay Jerry Johnson begins walking out, wearing the Interwire Championship around his waist as he stands on the stage, taking the moment to look at all of the fans gathered tonight to celebrate this moment with him. Jay begins walking down the ramp, and the camera gets a close up look at the Interwire Championship as Jay makes his way down to ringside.)
Stew-O: At Pain for Pride Jay Jerry Johnson picked up the biggest win of his career, winning the Interwire Championship and elevating his career to a new level. Some all-time greats have held that Championship in the past, including the current record holder for the longest reign, Andr-
Jake Mercer: ANDRE WALKER, THAT’S RIGHT!!! My Samoan Kaiser is obviously the best to ever hold that Championship, but Triple J is pretty good too. He’s definitely come a long way, after all Pain for Pride isn’t the first time he’s competed for the Interwire Championship.
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, he’s definitely improved, stepped up his game and ultimately pulled off the victory where it mattered most. That alone makes this celebration deserving, and it looks like Jay actually has something to say tonight.
(Jay receives a microphone from the timekeepers area before walking up the steel steps, entering the ring. He stands in the center of the ring, but he doesn’t speak immediately. Instead he allows the cheers to continue for a few moments as a smile appears on his face, and after a little while he finally raises his microphone and begins to speak.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: I knew this day would come eventually. I knew that one day I’d be wearing a Championship around my waist exactly like I am right now. I knew that one day I’d be announced as a Champion rather than a challenger. The only thing I was wrong about was the “when”. I was wrong about the day that first Championship reign would begin. I was wrong about the day I’d finally be able to call myself the Interwire Champion, and in a way, I’m almost glad that things turned out the way they did. I’m glad it took all of these obstacles and setbacks to get me to this position, because the Jay Jerry Johnson standing before you all isn’t the same Jay that walked into this company almost two years ago. It’s not even the same Jay that walked into a match against Joso that I believed I was capable of winning up until I didn’t. The Jay standing before you all tonight is the result of two years of hard work. Two years of improvement. Two years of overcoming obstacles whether they were put in front of me by the EAW roster or by myself. I had to fight my way to this position. I had to push myself regardless of all of those doubting me, and I did all of that and more. I pushed myself, alright. I pushed myself right towards the Interwire Championship.
(This makes the fans cheer some more, and Jay removes the title from around his waist before raising it up in the air. He places the title on his shoulder, slowly beginning to walk around the ring as he continues to speak.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Thank you. I dedicate as much of my time as I possibly can to being the best wrestler I can possibly be, but don’t think I haven’t noticed the way you all have slowly started to see the progress I’ve been making. I’ve noticed the cheers. I’ve noticed the support, and I’ve noticed that there were people who wanted to see me win this Championship just as much as I wanted it. Heading into Pain for Pride I was motivated, more motivated than ever knowing what was on the line. I’ve had to improve physically, mentally, in literally every single aspect I possibly could in order to reach this spot in the first place, but if I failed at Pain for Pride it would’ve meant nothing. Truth be told, knowing that there were so many people waiting to see me finally get this moment helped keep me going. Knowing that there were so many supporters just like there were doubters helped me keep pushing forward regardless of what came my way. I already intended to become Interwire Champion at Pain for Pride, but by the time I entered that ring I realized I had no choice but to win.
(Jay stops in his tracks as he continues, looking up at the fans as he speaks.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: There’s no hard feelings towards PJ Hendrx or Shane Gates. They both did what they could to have their own Pain for Pride moment, but this was my time. This was the moment I spent two years fighting for, and truth be told the job is still not finished. In fact, it’s only just getting started.
(The fans cheer once again as Jay continues.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: It took me nearly two years to win my first Championship, I am not going to let this reign go to waste. We all know that this Championship has a history of incredible Champions. Hall of Famers, past present and future have managed to get their hands on the Interwire Championship, and I plan to have a title reign that’s good enough to make every single one of them proud. I’m aiming for the very top, here. I’m aiming to keep improving just like I have been throughout my entire career, and when it’s all said and done I’ll be reaching greater heights alongside this title. As far as I’m concerned the Interwire Championship is the most important Championship in the entirety of Elite Answers Wrestling, and as long as I’m holding it I’m going to treat this Championship with the respect it deserves. I’ll be making the Dynasty brand proud, and I’ll be doing what I never could have two years ago. That’s what countless others have done long before my name was ever even in the conversation, and now it’s my turn. It’s the opportunity I haven’t just waited for. It’s the opportunity I fought for. I just hope everyone in the back understands, I won’t be letting go of this Championship easily.
(The fans cheer as Jay Jerry Johnson is about to leave, but it’s not his entrance music that hits. Instead, it’s ‘il vento d’oro’ by Yugo Kanno. This excites the fans and causes more cheers to come from the crowd, as the music belongs to none other than MITSU. MITSU is seen walking out, already in his gear for his match coming up next. He has a microphone in his hand, and he walks down the ramp as Jay Jerry Johnson watches on, seemingly surprised by who decided to step up.)
Stew-O: MITSU has a match against Komatsu Ogawa coming up, but it looks like before we get to that he has some words for the Interwire Champion!
Jake Mercer: I don’t blame him. Some all-time greats have held the Interwire Championship before, why wouldn’t you want to get your name out there and confront the man currently holding it?
Flannery McCoy: Let me guess, you’re talking about Andre Walker.
Jake Mercer: What? No. Chef Viz, obviously.
Flannery McCoy: :skip: He never even-
Jake Mercer: You really don’t remember his Interwire Championship win at that untelevised event back in 2016? Unbelievable.
(MITSU walks up the steel steps, joining Jay Jerry Johnson inside of the ring. The fans continue to cheer, and MITSU wastes no time beginning to speak.)
MITSU: Jay… First of all, I just wanted to congratulate you. Winning the Interwire Championship is an impressive accomplishment, you earned it.
(This causes more cheers from the crowd, and Jay has a smile on his face.)
MITSU: Now that that’s out of the way, I should tell you the reason I’m really out here. I’m here to challenge you for a shot at the Interwire Championship.
(This surprises the fans, as well as the Interwire Champion himself. While the fans’ grow even louder with their cheering, Jay raises an eyebrow as he seemingly looks a bit amused by the idea.)
MITSU: My return season wasn’t entirely as great as I hoped it’d be. In fact, I could even say I was a bit disappointed by how I things turned out, but you know as well as I do that there’s no point in worrying about the past. It’s a new season, which means a fresh start. It’s an opportunity for everyone to step their game up, and reach the heights they were unable to in the season before. Last season I failed to win the 24/7 Battle Royale, and I could spend these next few months worried about that failure, but what good would that do when there are Elitists like yourself continuing to push forward regardless of whatever losses you may face? I’ve seen your progress, Jay. I may not have been here, but I have been watching just like all of the people in the arena tonight have been watching. We’ve seen your growth throughout the past year. We’ve seen your career reach new heights, to the point where you’re now holding the same Championship you failed to win in the past. In a way, your success story inspired me.
(A grin appeaers on MITSU’s face as he continues.)
MITSU: It’s not every day that you see Elitists rise the same way that you did, and it’d be wrong if I chose to sit back and allow my failures to consume me knowing that I’m on the same brand as someone like yourself. I could do better and I know that. All I need is the opportunity to do better. I need the opportunity to push myself further than I ever have before, and I knew heading into this season that finding an opportunity like that wasn’t going to be easy, but that’s how this business works, isn’t it? You always have to work for what you want, and I’m sure it’ll be far more than a challenge taking that Championship from you. That’s what I need in my career, though. I need a competitor that’ll force me to be at the top of my game, and I believe that can be you. You really did inspire me, Jay. You inspired me to come out here and make my own ambitions known. You inspired me to challenge you, and if you’re up for it, I may just be both the first and the last Elitist facing you for the Interwire Championship. It’s all up to you. Either way, I’m ready to start adding my own name to the history books, and this season I plan to work harder than I ever have to be consistent and finally make a name for myself here.
(More cheers come from the crowd, meanwhile Jay takes some time to think about his options. It takes a few seconds, but eventually he begins to speak once more.)
Jay Jerry Johnson: I have to admit I find this challenge interesting, I’ll have to take some time to think about it. For now, good luck against Ogawa.
(There’s a brief staredown between the two, before finally Jay Jerry Johnson begins to leave the ring, giving MITSU space for his upcoming match against Komatsu Ogawa.)
Stew-O: It looks like MITSU wants to be the first challenger for Jay Jerry Johnson’s Championship, and time will tell whether or not we actually see that match in the future.
Jake Mercer: It would definitely be a great match between the two, but I don’t blame Jay for wanting to think things through first. After all, he only just won the Interwire Championship!
Flannery McCoy: It’s rare that you’re right about something, but you’re right about that. Anyways, MITSU is about to take on Komatsu Ogawa, right here on Friday night Dynasty!
(‘CHAINSAW BLOOD’ plays as Jay Jerry Johnson is seen walking up the ramp, carrying his Interwire Championship on his shoulder. MITSU watches on, and Dynasty begins fading away from ringside.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!
( MITSU has taken off his entrance gear as he stretches in the corner, waiting for his opponent to come out. ‘The Oral Cigarettes’ by Red Criminal plays to ear-deafening boos circulating within the Amica Mutual Arena. The Providence crowd does not like Komatsu Ogawa, and their reaction to his appearance says it all. Komatsu stoically makes his way down to the ring, smirking at the sight of MITSU. )
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT! From Kabukicho, Tokyo, Japan, weighing in at 232 pounds… HE IS THE ‘IMPERRRRRIUUUS REX,’ KOOOOMATSSUUUUU OOOOOGAWAAAAA!!!!
Stew-O: MITSU moments ago, has expressed his interest in the EAW Interwire Championship that he came up short chasing at Pain For Pride 14, confronting Jay Jerry Johnson in his coronation. There is no doubt that MITSU has picked up where he has left off after his extensive hiatus, and tonight is also going to be incredibly interesting as both MITSU and OGAWA have a lot of history with each other.
Flannery McCoy: There was a time where both of these men had a brotherhood, taking the tag team world by storm on Friday nights, but it unfortunately did not work out. Both competitors did step away from Elite Answers Wrestling, but Ogawa was the first out of these two to come back, and we’ve seen a far more ruthless side of Ogawa ever since. Ogawa has established himself as one of the most hard-hitting and dangerous elitists in that locker room last season, and you could understand that he may envy the fact that MITSU may have immediately surpassed him in a fraction of that time.
Jake Mercer: This is going to be an interesting match because these two know each other so well. They traveled with each other, ate meals with each other and trained with each other; they know each other and I am intrigued in what we get when the Imperius Rex and the Golden Doyen collide here in Providence!
( DING! DING! DING! )
Stew-O: This match is officially underway between Komatsu Ogawa and MITSU as they are quick to engage in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Ogawa muscles his opponent into the ropes, but Mitsu reverses it and presses him against the ropes. The referee steps in to separate it and MITSU respectfully backs away. Ogawa shows the same respect and they now circle the ring before engaging in another collar-and-elbow tie up. MITSU turns it into a headlock, prompting Ogawa to lift him up, but it doesn’t work, so he shoves him into the ropes. MITSU lets go of the headlock and rebounds off the ropes. He looks to sweep him off his legs with a shoulder block, but Ogawa puffs out his chest and only gets taken back a few steps into the ropes. Ogawa absorbed most of the tackle as he now rebounds the ropes and looks to tackle MITSU into the canvas!
Flannery McCoy: MITSU is able to keep his feet planted on the ground after the tackle, absorbing it and rebound off the ropes! MITSU goes for another shoulder tackle; blocked! OGAWA looks to be the one to take him down with this tackle; blocked! They are trying to out muscle the other competitor, but none of them are giving out to one another! They look at each other, almost admiring each other’s strengths. These two know each other so well, so it is to no surprise that they’re evenly-matched right out of the get-go. Both men now backup and rebound off the ropes. Is OGAWA and MITSU looking to collide in the center of the ring! THEY SHOULD HAVE REINFORCED THE RING FOR THIS!
Jake Mercer: BA–OGAWA WENT AROUND THE WAIST AND HE ADMINISTERS A SLEEPER ON MITSU!! MITSU DROPS DOWN AND GOES FOR A WHEELBARROW! OGAWA SNATCHES HIS HEELS AND ROLLS HIM BACK UP TO HIS FEET… AND OGAWA WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND HIM FOR ANOTHER CHOKE HOLD! Ogawa backs down into the canvas to leverage him into the grounded variation of the sleeper hold! MITSU takes advantage of the momentum and rolls right away from him and onto his feet!! AND MITSU IMMEDIATELY NAILS HIM WITH THE DROP OF HIS RIGHT KNEE ONTO THE DOME OF HIS HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: Komatsu Ogawa slightly staggered by that knee drop as he emerges to a vertical base. MITSU rebounds off the ropes and sprints towards OGAWA! AND OGAWA SHOOTS INTO THE AIR FOR A JUMPING HIGH KICK! MITSU MANAGES TO CATCH HIM AND PIN HIS SHOULDERS DOWN FOR A SUNSET PIN!!
ONE!!!!
Stew-O: OGAWA TURNS IT AROUND AND PINS BOTH SHOULDERS DOWN!
ONE!!!!
Flannery McCoy: MITSU POWERS OUT OF THE PIN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY! BUT OGAWA INSTANTLY TRANSITIONED, USING THE MOMENTUM OF HIS KICK-OUT AND IMPLEMENTS AN OMOPLATA ARMBAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! Both men being incredibly resourceful of each other as MITSU is able to get his feet planted and now SEAMLESSLY TRANSITIONS the omoplata armbar into a SINGLE LEGGED BOSTON CRAB! MITSU PULLING BACK ON THAT LEG, STRETCHING THE TENDON IN A WAY WHERE IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO GO… AND OGAWA IS ABLE TO TWIST INWARDS AND SOFTEN THE BOSTON CRAB WITH UP KICKS TO THE FACE!! AND NOW OGAWA USES HIS TRAPPED FOOT TO PULL MITSU DOWN TOWARDS HIM!! AND HE NOW APPLIES A TRIANGLE CHOKE ON THE GOLDEN DOYEN! OH NO!
Jake Mercer: MITSU IS IN A PRECARIOUS POSITION HERE.. NOT FOR LONG AS HE HOLDS THE BOTTOM ROPE TO REGISTER A ROPE BREAK! It takes a while for Ogawa to let go of the triangle hold, but he is wasting zero time and immediately tries to drag him back into another submission hold! Ogawa snatches his left arm and twists, MITSU SPRINGS UP TO HIS FEET AND TRANSITIONS IT INTO A WAIST HOLD!! FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! WE’VE SEEN HIM OBLITERATE HIS OPPS WITH THIS ONE!! BUT OGAWA RESISTS AND BREAKS THE HOLD!! AND HE SWINGS HIS ELBOW BACK!
Stew-O: BAD MISTAKE AS OGAWA SWUNG HIS ENTIRE BODY INTO THE CLUTCHES OF AN EXPLODER SUPLEX!! MITSU HOLDS HIM UP!! AND CONNEC–NO!! OGAWA GRABS HIS HEAD IN MID-AIR AND PLANTS HIM INTO THE CANVAS WITH AN STO!
Flannery McCoy: To think that both of these competitors started off this match trying to feel each other out, but all it took was that strength measuring contest from earlier that prompted Komatsu Ogawa and MITSU to switch gears into this extremely competitive mode of theirs! A little decelerating moment in this match for now, and here comes OGAWA as he has MITSU cornered. He peppers him with stiff roundhouse kicks to the chest before leveling him up onto his feet… and POUNDING HIS FLESH WITH A KNIFE-EDGE CHOP!! AND ANOTHER ONE!! AND ANOTHER ONE! OGAWA has always been known for not holding back on these strikes, and MITSU is being subjected to his hard-hitting repertoire…
Stew-O: OGAWA plants another knife-edge chop right beneath the jaw and onto the chest before he runs into the opposite corner and back! MITSU FOLLOWED HIM CLOSELY FROM BEHIND… AND OGAWA GETS HIS JAW SHATTERED IN THE OPPOSITE CORNER WITH A CORNER DROPKICK! LOOK AT THE EXPRESSION ON OGAWA’S FACE!! OGAWA JUST GOT HIS LIGHTS OUT BY THAT DROPKICK.. AS MITSU IS GOING FOR SECONDS!
Flannery McCoy: AND MITSU GOES FOR A SECOND DROPKICK!! BUT OGAWA CAUGHT HIM IN MID-AIR INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION!! AND HE IMMEDIATELY PLANTS HIM DOWN WITH A SNAP POWERBOMB.. BEFORE HE ROLLS HIM OVER ONTO HIS KNEES!! AND GRABS ONTO BOTH OF HIS WRISTS.. AND PULLS HIM IN!! AND MITSU GETS HIS FACE STUFFED WITH NOTHING MORE THAN THE POINT OF HIS KNEE!! OGAWA DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Stew-O: KICK-OUT! Ogawa gets up to his feet and waits for MITSU to do the same…MITSU springs up to his feet but he begins to get peppered by a plethora of open-handed palm strikes! MITSU lights him up with a fifth palm strike before blasting him with a back-hand… and then turning around and BRINGING HIM DOWN ONTO HIS KNEES WITH A BULLET ROUNDHOUSE KICK INTO THE UPPER CHEST! AND OGAWA MOMENTARILY BASKING IN THE BOOS, POINTING TOWARDS HIS OPPONENT AND RUNNING THE ROPES!! AND HE LOOKS TO WIPE HIM OUT WITH A SECOND KNEE STRIKE!
Flannery McCoy: MITSU DODGES THE KNEE STRIKE.. AND OGAWA GETS DRILLED WITH A SINGLE-KNEE BACKSTABBER COURTESY OF THE GOLDEN DOYET!! AND MITSU QUICKLY HOOKS THE LEG!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: OGAWA BRINGS HIS SHOULDER UP! MITSU gets up to his feet and refuses to let his opponent recuperate under any circumstance and begins to blitz him with roundhouse kicks to the chest! A kneeled OGAWA, just eating these roundhouse kicks to the midsection as he is being softened up by them… and MITSU goes for another roundhouse kick aimed towards the skull, but OGAWA wakes up and grabs his foot at the last second! He puts his foot down and swings a forearm smash! MITSU blocks it, lights him up with many jabs and goes for a forearm smash of his own! OGAWA BLOCKS IT!! AND HE STUNS HIM WITH A DIRTY EUROPEAN UPPERCUT…
Flannery McCoy: MITSU IS STUNNED.. AND OGAWA RUNS THE ROPES… BUT OGAWA RUNS RIGHT INTO AN ANOTHER STAR-STUDDED DROPKICK FROM MITSU–NO!! OGAWA HAD IT SCOUTED AND HELD ONTO THE ROPES! MITSU CRASH LANDS ONTO THE CANVAS.. AND OGAWA NOW PICKS HIM UP ONTO HIS FEET.. HE PLACES BOTH HEADS IN BETWEEN HIS LEGS.. AND LOOKS TO TRAP BOTH ARMS INTO A DOUBLE HAMMERLOCK!
Stew-O: MITSU, HOWEVER, RESISTS, AND DROPS DOWN ON ONE KNEE!! HE REFUSES TO SUCCUMB TO WHATEVER THE IMPERIUS REX HAS IN MIND.. BUT OGAWA IS ABLE TO SOFTEN HIM UP WITH ELBOWS TO THE DOME OF THE HEAD! MITSU STOPS RESISTING AND OGAWA NOW HAS THE DOUBLE HAMMERLOCK!! AND MITSU IS ABOUT TO BE LAID OUT WITH THE BURN OUT-
Flannery McCoy: MITSU SPINS OUT.. SWINGS FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!! HE MISSES!! AND OGAWA CHARGES IN–OH, HE GETS CLOBBERED WITH A JUMPING SPINNING HEEL KICK FROM THE GOLDEN DOYEN!! CLASSIC MITSU OFFENSE RIGHT THERE AS HE QUICKLY GETS UP ONTO HIS FEET!
Stew-O: MITSU AIN’T STOPPING AS HE HOOKS HIM UP INTO A VERTICAL POSITION!! AND HE NOW HOISTS HIM UP INTO THE AIR!! AND SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A SIT-OUT GOURDBUSTER.. HE ROLLS INSTANTLY BACKWARDS ONTO HIS FEET, REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES, AND FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A DISCUS SHOOT KICK TO THE HEAD OF OGAWA!! OGAWA IS STAGGERED MORE THAN EVER.. IF MITSU WANTS TO WIN, THEN HE NEEDS TO KEEP GOING RIGHT HERE!
Flannery McCoy: OGAWA IS IN TROUBLE RIGHT HERE.. MITSU SPREADS HIS ARMS AND EVERYONE HERE IN THE AMICA MUTUAL ARENA IS ON THEIR FEET.. AND WE MAY BE SEEING THE IMPERIUS REX GET DRIVEN INTO EXTINCTION…
Stew-O: AND MITSU WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND THE WAIST OF OGAWA.. AND HE DROPS HIM RIGHT ONTO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH A DEVASTATING GERMAN SUPLEX!! OGAWA IS OUT!! OGAWA IS OUT!! OGAWA IS OUT!! MITSU CONCUSSES HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX AS HE NOW IS LOOKING TO FINISH THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE!
Flannery McCoy: MITSU LOOKS TO SLAY THE IMPERIUS REX HERE.. AS HE WAITS FOR HIM TO GET UP TO HIS FEET.. AND HE CREEPS UP FROM BEHIND NOW.. AND LOOKS TO GRAB THE WRIST–
Stew-O: OGAWA WAKES UP AT THE LAST SECOND.. TURNS AROUND.. AND BEHEADS MITSU WITH A HUUUUUGEE LARIAT!!!! JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT THAT WAS OGAWA WAS OUT OF THIS MATCH, HE COMES BACK IN AND ALMOST DECAPITATES THE GOLDEN DOYEN!! THE IMPERIUS REX REFUSES TO BE PUT DOWN, BUT BOTH MEN ARE DOWN-AND-OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! WHAT A MATCH THIS HAS BEEN!
Flannery McCoy: Both of these competitors set the standard right at the beginning of the season on the level of competition you need to bring to the squared circle! MITSU was on the precipice of putting the finishing touches on this incredible match, until OGAWA somehow tapped into his last energy reserve and was able to steamroll over him with that lariat of desperation! MITSU was folded like an accordion as a result of that, and now both men have begun to show signs of life!
Jake Mercer: Komatsu Ogawa and MITSU has gone a long way in their careers ever since they were ever in the ring together, and now we are going to see a culmination of all of that development of what they’ve learned in that time in between. Ogawa and MITSU are now using each other to get up onto their feet! HEADS CLUNK AGAINST EACH OTHER.. NOSE SCRUNCHED UP.. AND EYES BLAZENED.. EVERYONE HERE IN PROVIDENCE CAN FEEL IT!! OGAWA AND MITSU ARE GOING TO TEAR THE ROOF DOWN!!
Flannery McCoy: AND NOW THEY BEGIN TO SPILL OUT INTO AN ALL-OUT BRAWL! OGAWA! MITSU! OGAWA! MITSU! OGAWA! MITSU!! FOREARM SMASHES NOW! OGAWA! MITSU! OGAWA! MITSU! OGAWA! MITSU! OGAWA! OGAWA!! OGAWA! OGAWA! OGAWA IS STARING TO OVERWHELM HIM WITH REPEATED ELBOWS, NOW TURNED INTO AN ONSLAUGHT OF HEADBUTTS!! HE IS JUST BASHING HIS HEAD IN WITH HIS FOREHEAD, AND EVERYONE HERE IN PROVIDENCE ARE JUST RAINING DOWN BOOS TO IT!! THEY ARE NOT HAPPY!
Jake Mercer: Komatsu Ogawa has successfully chopped down MITSU, and it may be over for him! OGAWA LOOKS TO RUN THE ROPES!! MITSU HOLDS ONTO HIS TIGHTS, AND OGAWA STOPS HIMSELF… OGAWA PULLS HIM UP TO HIS FEET, MAYBE SHOWING SOME MERCY HERE… AND HE GOES FOR ANOTHER HEADBUT-
Flannery McCoy: MITSU EXPLODES ONTO HIM WITH A FOREARM SMASH!! AND OGAWA DROPS TO THE GROUND.. AND THAT MAY BE IT!! MITSU JUST SHOT HIM INTO ANOTHER UNIVERSE WITH THAT STIFF FOREARM SMASH AS HE NOW PICKS HIM UP TO HIS FEET!!!!! AND HE GOES AROUND THE WAIST!! AND HE GOES FOR WHAT HE DUBS THE DOYEN’S DESOLUTIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!
Jake Mercer: REVERSE NECKBREAKER!!! NO!!! KOMATSU OGAWA DIGS HIS FINGERNAILS INTO THE EYE SOCKETS OF THE GOLDEN DOYEN!! MITSU’S VISION IS BLOCKED.. AND THE REFEREE IS REPRIMANDING OGAWA.. BUT THE IMPERIUS REX ARRRGGHHHH DOES NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT HIM!!
Stew-O: AND NOW OGAWA HOISTS HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND TRIES TO ENGAGE IN THE HAMMERLOC-
Jake Mercer: WHAT THE?!! OGAWA SPRINGS ONTO HIS FEET RIGHT AS HE ENGAGED IN THE HAMMERLOCK.. AND HE PULLS HIM IN!!!
Stew-O: DOYEN’S DOMINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!
Jake Mercer: MITSU MANAGES TO BLAST RIGHT THROUGH THE FORTRESS THAT IS KOMATSU OGAWA WITH THE RIPCORD LARIAT… EVEN WHEN HE COULDN’T EVEN SEE PROPERLY THROUGH HIS EYES AS HE NOW HOOKS THE LEG!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
( DING! DING! DING! )
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… MIIIIIITSUUUUUUU!!!
( “il vento d’oro’ by Yugo Kanno echoes throughout the Amica Mutual Arena with a colossal reaction as MITSU lets go of his leg and immediately raises his fists. )
Jake Mercer: MITSU with a well-earned victory here tonight over one of the men in this industry that knows him so well! What an incredible match between Komatsu Ogawa and MITSU, and I honestly thought this was going to be fought to a draw!
Stew-O: This match was as evenly-matched as evenly-matched it could be, and if MITSU wants to prove that he deserves to be the next in line for the EAW Interwire Championship.. then this match has proven that he definitely has!
( MITSU continues to celebrate in the ring, slightly giving a nod to OGAWA as he slides under the bottom rope past him. )
(The camera cuts backstage to boos, as Albert Hitchman is shown, finishing up a phone call, and once he’s done, goes to re-enter Andre Walker’s locker room, but is interrupted by a voice.)
???: WISEMAN!
(Albert stops in his tracks, and closes his eyes, taking a deep breath before acting as if he’s happy to see Ronan Malosi, who excitedly enters the frame, wrapping his arm around Albert’s shoulder with a giant smile on his face.)
Ronan Malosi: Just the man I wanted to see!
Albert Hitchman: Is that so?
Ronan Malosi: Yep!
Albert Hitchman: Well, Ronan, you’re just the guy I wanted to see also.
Ronan Malosi: Is that so? :mjgrin:
Albert Hitchman: Yep! It’s always a pleasure with you.
Ronan Malosi: Glad to hear it! Look, I couldn’t help but notice you were entering Andre Walker’s locker room.
Albert Hitchman: Right…
(Albert is curious as to what Ronan is getting at.)
Ronan Malosi: So, I was thinking… why not us both go in there? Ya know, together.
Albert Hitchman: Well, Ronan, as much as I “love” that idea, unfortunately, The Kaiser is locked in right now for his match against Xander Payne.
Ronan Malosi: Yeah, you’re right, I should let him focus.
Albert Hitchman: Hey, you should be focusing too. Remember, you got a big match against Chris Elite tonight.
Ronan Malosi: Yeah, and about that, at The Draft, I did exactly as you asked! I ran in there, I took Chris down with a crowbar, and laid him out with the Death-Ro, so I was thinking… does that officially put me on the team? I mean, I’d fit right in! Me and you, were both wearing suits! Matter of fact, check it out.
(Ronan unbuttons his suit jacket to reveal a tribal print tie, which he shows off to Albert.)
Albert Hitchman: :roman:
Ronan Malosi: You like? It’s tribal print!
Albert Hitchman: I can tell… wow. That certainly is… something.
Ronan Malosi: I know, right? I got a guy, I can hook you up with one if you’d like.
Albert Hitchman: No, I’m good, but thank you for the offer.
Ronan Malosi: Suit yourself. But yeah, about me being an official member of the team-
Albert Hitchman: :whoa2: Yeah, about that… let’s just slow your roll a bit. What you did to Chris Elite at the draft was impressive, and I’m thankful for it, BUT! It served as a good… first step, but you’re nowhere near enough to be considered a member of the team just yet. There is still a lot more work for you to do, copy?
(Ronan nods.)
Ronan Malosi: I get it… I totally get it! Andre doesn’t just let anyone into his tribe, into his family. You have to EARN your way there, and me laying out Chris Elite one time doesn’t mean I’ve earned my way there… YET! Keyword: yet. But I will, I will earn my way into Andre Walker’s clique, I’ve just got to figure out the best approach to show him that I’m for The Kaiser all the way.
(Ronan thinks to himself briefly, but an idea pops into his head.)
Ronan Malosi: I got it! Tell him to watch my match tonight, get a glimpse of what I’m wearing, because I’ll be repping HIS brand against Chris Elite. Then! If that’s not enough, tell him the door to my mansions are ALWAYS open for him, and I’d be fine with making him a gourmet dinner! You’ve seen my Twitter, right? You know I can throw down on a grill.
Albert Hitchman: Oh, I’m aware, but I don’t think-
Ronan Malosi: You don’t think that’ll be enough? Oh, I know, which is why I’ve prepared another plan! I just need you to let me in the locker room, so I can enact it.
Albert Hitchman: Enact it how exactly?
Ronan Malosi: Well, you said Andre was locked in for his match against Xander Payne, right?
Albert Hitchman: Right.
Ronan Malosi: Well, I’ve got a way that won’t interfere with that, but somehow make him more dangerous heading into the main event!
Albert Hitchman: I’m listening…
(Albert is actually intrigued by this proposal from Ronan.)
Ronan Malosi: So, it’s against Xander Payne, and wherever he goes, Ryan goes like the absolute brown noser he is, Ryan Wilson is going to be ringside during that match, meaning: our Kaiser will almost be in a two-on-one handicap match situation.
Albert Hitchman: Hey, I’ll be there at least.
Ronan Malosi: I’m aware, but you’re not exactly a trained competitor, Albert… no offense. Ryan is, and if he wanted, he could take you out. After all, Bronson Daniels has no morals, laying his hands on you at Pain for Pride, so who’s to say Ryan Wilson has morals?
Albert Hitchman: I guess you’re right.
Ronan Malosi: So, what I’m proposing is you let me in there, so I can pass down some tips on how to deal with Ryan Wilson to The Kaiser. I already know he can deal with Xander Payne, that’s his expertise, but Ryan Wilson is mine, so just let me-
(Ronan tries going past Albert, so he can enter the locker room, but Albert steps in the way, blocking Ronan’s entrance, and Albert rolls his eyes before staring Ronan directly in the face.)
Albert Hitchman: As I said, you have to earn your entrance into that locker room. But Ronan, let me ask you a question. Do you really think my Kaiser, Andre Walker, the longest reigning New Breed Champion, the longest reigning Interwire Champion, and former World Heavyweight Champion needs advice on how to deal with the likes of ANYBODY, let alone… Ryan Wilson?
(Ronan realizes he overstepped, and begins getting flustered, not wanting to get on Andre or Albert’s bad side.)
Ronan Malosi: Well, I- I was just-
Albert Hitchman: You were talking crazy.
Ronan Malosi: You’re right! You’re completely right! Me offering to help Andre?! Psst! Andre doesn’t need my help! He doesn’t need anybody’s help! He’s- he’s Andre frickin Walker, not one of these marks in Providence, Rhode Island!
(The crowd reigns down with boos, which Albert and Ronan briefly acknowledge before returning to their conversation.)
Albert Hitchman: Even if that match turns two-on-one, The Kaiser will prevail. Believe that.
Ronan Malosi: Oh, I do! I one-hundred percent believe that!
(Albert nods, seeing that Ronan is on edge after his mess up, and looks to calm him down.
Albert Hitchman: Look. I can see that you’re a bit on edge, but it’s okay. I know you didn’t mean anything harmful, you’re just trying to help.
Ronan Malosi: Exactly!
Albert Hitchman: But if you’re looking to help The Kaiser, and earn your way in, then giving him tips on Ryan Wilson isn’t going to do it. However, you took your first step at The Draft. Tonight, you can take another. This time, by doing more than laying out Chris Elite, we want you to beat Chris Elite. Matter of fact, we want you to make sure that Chris Elite doesn’t walk out on his own two feet, and do you know why?
(Ronan shrugs.)
Ronan Malosi: Why?
Albert Hitchman: Because we don’t need Chris Elite thinking he can meddle in Andre’s business tonight, heard?
Ronan Malosi: Heard.
Albert Hitchman: So, what are you going to do?
Ronan Malosi: Not only beat Chris Elite, but makes sure that while he comes walking down that entranceway, he comes crawling back.
(Albert pats Ronan on the shoulder.)
Albert Hitchman: And I’ll be out there to see it all.
(Albert enters Andre’s locker room, and Ronan proceeds to silently celebrate to himself before taking a deep breath, and walking away, getting focused ahead of his match. Ronan looks down at the tribal tie, thinking of Andre Walker.)
Ronan Malosi: For you, Big Uce.
(Ronan turns the corner, and the camera fades elsewhere.)
(“Forgotten” by Avril Lavigne hits as Valkyrie makes her way down to the ring, crown over her head wearing sort of a stoic expression, seemingly indicating all her focus is on this match. She cavalierly saunters up the steel steps and into the ring as she surveys the crowd)
Stephie Love: The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL! Introducing first, hailing from the land down under in Melbourne, Australia, standing at five-feet-seven-inches, she is “THE WONDERER” … VALKYRIE!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: There’s no telling what a win here for Valkyrie against Milli Banks could do for her career.
Stew-O: Right. It’s straight to the penthouse after that. Milli has proven herself to be a dominant force in her EAW career so far, and whoever has the distinction of toppling her in any capacity, exhibition or in defense of a championship, would definitely take some of that juice from her.
Jake Mercer: She’s got a ton of promise, but now it’s time to face the music and show the world what Valkyrie is all about.
(“Changed It” by Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne hits. The crowd gives a massive roar to the Specialist Champion Milli Banks, who wears the gold around her waist with immaculate elegance. Immediately the scene changes as she steps onto it — a star in EAW’s midst who has earned the crowd’s approval. She struts down to the ring with a huge smile on her face, the apple in the eye of many no doubt. She high-fives as many of the fans she can get to along the way, all of their faces filled with excitement at the chance to get close to the champ. She takes off her shades, entering the ring, and seemingly doesn’t acknowledge her opponent tonight in Valkyrie, who’s already jawing at her before her theme music has stopped)
Stephie Love: And her opponent… SHE IS THE EAW SPECIALIST CHAMPION!!!…. MILLI BANKSSSSSS!!!!!
Jake Mercer: This is the cream of the crop in EAW right now, and when you’re a star, you’re marked. The target’s always on your back, and that’s going to be the biggest challenge for Milli Banks going forward.
Stew-O: You can’t look past Valkyrie here tonight, though. She looks determined, in her element despite being up against the champ.
Flannery McCoy: Are you a body language expert now, Stew? Let’s get serious. It’s all fun and games until the bell rings and reality hits against MillI!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: This match between Valkyrie and the Specialists Champion Milli Banks is underway! The two women are circling around each other, their collective agility immediately on display, and as Milli tries to initiate a tie-up, Valkyrie instead dupes her and lays a stiff kick into the midsection of the champ Milli Banks!
Stew-O: And now Valkyrie setting Milli Banks up for an arm-trapped clothesline, and she plunges forward with the intent to decapitate her foe — but she’s instead met by a knee to her midsection courtesy of Milli Banks! And now Milli Banks with a snapmare takeover to Valkyrie that sends her tumbling down glutes-first, and she attempts to roundhouse kick her seated opponent right in the head — but Valkyrie ducks underneath it and quickly rises half-way to her feet and now has the arms of Milli Banks underhooked for the backslide pin!
Flannery McCoy: But it goes nowhere as Milli immediately kicks out of it and the two women rise to their feet, but the action doesn’t stop for long as Valkyrie connects with a slap to the face of Milli Banks, and she put some stank on that one — the disrespect to the Specialist Champion!
Jake Mercer: You can practically see steam emanating from the head of Milli Banks, she is absolutely incensed, and she furiously charges forward Valkyrie with an attempted spinning elbow to the face, but Valkyrie frog-leaps over Milli Banks and she immediately exercises Milli’s overzealousness to her advantage as she proceeds to execute picture-perfect neckbreaker on the follow-through! Valkyrie immediately rises to her feet and she connects with an elbow drop to the prone Milli Banks! She used that slap to take command of this match, seemingly, as she connects with another elbow drop to the Specialist Champion, who’s currently laying in the center of the canvas and undoubtedly in a world of hurt right now, as Valkyrie surveys the crowd and points to Milli Banks while shouting “IS THIS YOUR CHAMPION?” Valkyrie is brash and staking a claim to become a household name here in EAW tonight, and what better way to do that than to potentially defeat the incumbent Specialist Champion?
Stew-O: Right you are. Valkyrie now pulls up Milli Banks to her feet, and she’s continuing to add insult to injury to Milli Banks, pushing and shoving her at will, and now delivering open-hand chops to the chest of Milli followed by slaps to the face! Milli’s eyes are glazed over, but the disrespect is willing her back into this fight as she responds with a closed-fist punch to Valkyrie that sends her staggering! Milli immediately has to catch her breath after being victimized by Valkyrie’s onslaught up until this point, and of the two of them Valkyrie seems to have more energy as she composes herself and walks back toward Milli Banks, who is standing up but with her head half-way down as she takes a moment to catch her breath.
Flannery McCoy: Seeing this, Valkyrie goes for another knee to the midsection of Milli to continue to wear her opponent down, but Milli Banks catches the knee with her hands as she looks straight into the soul of Valkyrie and shakes her head as if to say “not in my house!” And Milli connects with a forearm to the face of Valkyrie! This has been a stiff matchup thus far, with less of the usual acrobatics and fast-paced action and more constant attempts by Valkyrie to keep the Specialist Champion off balance, take her out of her game, and control the pace, but could the tides begin to turn here?!
Jake Mercer: Milli Banks quickly follows up that forearm with a stiff calf kick, and now she’s seemingly trying to take the legs out from underneath Valkyrie as she executes another calf kick to the other leg of Valkyrie, now wailing in pain!
Stew-O: BUT VALKYRIE RAKES THE EYES OF MILLI BANKS! What a savvy move there by Valkyrie, as it seemed Milli had started to gain some momentum, but Valkyrie said “I don’t think so!” And now successfully executes a knee to the midsection of Milli Banks in the same style of the one she intercepted previously! Valkyrie now darts off the ropes, a little slower than usual maybe thanks to those calf kicks, and she meets Milli Banks with a missile dropkick that doesn’t floor her, but instead sends her staggering back against the ropes! Valkyrie immediately sees this and she springs forward, again a little bit gingerly, and she attempts a lariat to send Milli flying over the ropes, but instead Milli Banks telegraphs the lariat and pulls the top rope down in time to send Valkyrie tumbling over!
Flannery McCoy: But Valkyrie doesn’t go fully over — she manages to hang onto the ropes, and Milli Banks again trying to take a moment to breathe doesn’t realize Valkyrie didn’t get send flying over as she turns around and is immediately met by a headbutt to the midsection from Valkyrie, and Valkyrie wastes no time following that up with a sunset flip power bomb over the ropes that connects! And the pin on the follow-through! Valkyrie could potentially get a HUGE win here!
Ref: ONEEEEEE!!!!!… TWOOOOOO!!!!!!…
Jake Mercer: BUT A KICKOUT AT TWO BY THE SPECIALIST CHAMPION MILLI BANKS! She’s a resilient, fiery, perseverant competitor who will never say die and simply won’t go down! Valkyrie’s started to get frustrated herself, perhaps wondering just what it would take to put Milli Banks away, and maybe realizing why she’s the Specialist Champion!
Stew-O: A frustrated Valkyrie drags a dazed and groggy Milli Banks back up to her feet, and she’s got her in position for something right here! What could this be?! Another powerbomb?
Flannery: NO! She’s setting Milli Banks up for that Embrace piledriver, she’s got her hooked, and she’s got her up! Milli needs to find a way to get out of this quickly before she gets a potential concussion!
Jake Mercer: BUT THE EMBRACE PILEDRIVER CONNECTS! MILLI BANKS’ HEAD JUST GOT COMPRESSED AGAINST THE CANVAS LIKE A CRASH TEST DUMMY, AND VALKYRIE DOES THE “IT’S OVER” TAUNT SHADES OF VINCE CARTER IN THE 2000 NBA DUNK CONTEST AS SHE EMPHATICALLY HOOKS THE LEG TO KNOCK OFF THE EAW SPECIALIST CHAMPION! WHAT A BOON THIS WOULD BE FOR VALKYRIE’S CAREER! IS IT OVER FOR MILLI TONIGHT?!
Ref: ONEEEEEE!!!!…. TWOOOOOOO!!!!!… THRRR—
Stew-O: SOMEHOW, SOME WAY, MILLI BANKS MANAGED TO GET A SHOULDER UP AFTER THAT “EMBRACE” PILEDRIVER! VALKYRIE IS IN UTTER DISBELIEF AS SHE BANGS HER FISTS AGAINST THE CANVAS AND MOUTHS AT THE REFEREE “THAT WAS THREE!” WHO SHAKES HIS HEAD IN RESPONSE! SHE IS POSITIVELY APOPLECTIC RIGHT NOW, THROWING A VERITABLE TANTRUM IN THE RING, AND IN HER INCREDULITY SHE HOOKS THE LEG AGAIN THINKING MAYBE THAT WAS JUST MILLI’S ADRENALINE, I GUESS?
Ref: ONEEEEEE!!!!!…. TWOOOOO!!!!….
Flannery McCoy: But another kickout by Milli Banks! She refuses to be denied here tonight on Dynasty, or any other time for that matter, and now Valkyrie is again pulling her back up to her feet, but what else could she possibly have in store for Milli Banks? She has seemingly pulled out all the stops, and been in control for the majority of this matchup, but for every blow that Valkyrie’s delivered, Milli Banks has had an answer. And that’s the just kind of elitist she is.
Jake Mercer: Valkyrie with a hard kick leg to the midsection of Milli Banks, and she gets behind her seemingly to set her up something!
Stew-O: EMOTIONAL OVERDRIVE, WHICH IS IRONICALLY WHAT VALKYRIE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING IN THIS MATCHUP THUS FAR — BUT VALKYRIE IS FATIGUED, UNABLE TO EXECUTE IT AT HER USUAL SPEED AND PACE, AS MILLI BANKS FLIPS OVER INSTEAD OF LANDING ON HER BACK AND MANAGES TO LAND ON HER FEET INSTEAD! VALKYRIE TURNS BEHIND HER AND MILLI BANKS IMMEDIATELY MEETS HER WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!
Flannery McCoy: Wow, did Milli just knock a tooth out or was that spit?! A HUGE European uppercut by Milli Banks, and she follows that up with ANOTHER European uppercut with the left arm now! The multi-talented Milli Banks must be ambidextrous! That second European uppercut sends Valkyrie staggering back against the ropes, and Milli Banks charges forward — NO FAKE BILLS HERE! THE RUNNING SINGLE LEG HIGH KNEE!
Jake Mercer: AND IT CONNECTS, SENDING BOTH MILLI BANKS AND VALKYRIE OVER THE ROPES AND ONTO THE OUTSIDE! MILLI HAS TAKEN EVERY PUNCH VALKYRIE COULD POSSIBLY GIVE HER THUS FAR, BUT CAN VALKYRIE TAKE THE PUNCHES DELIVERED BY THE SPECIALIST CHAMPION? WE’RE GONNA FIND OUT REAL SOON!
Stew-O: And Milli’s the first one back to her feet on the outside, seemingly against all odds and maybe having finally found her pace in this match thus far after Valkyrie gave her a whole world of problems to solve up until this point! And now Valkyrie is up as well!
Flannery McCoy: MILLI NOW WITH A FLURRY OF PUNCHES AND FOREARMS TO VALKYRIE, WHO’S TRYING TO PUSH HER AWAY, BUT THE SPECIALIST CHAMPION IS RELENTLESS WITH THESE BLOWS, AND THEY’RE ALL CONNECTING! THAT’S DEFINITELY GONNA LEAVE A MARK TOMORROW! MILLI’S JAWING BACK AT HER CHALLENGER AFTER VALKYRIE’S EARLIER THEATRICS NOW!
Milli: Talk that shit now! Talk that shit now!
Jake Mercer: The crowd is loving it! They’re completely invested in this match, and now Milli grabs the arm of Valkyrie and she’s going to Irish whip her into those steel steps!
Stew-O: BUT VALKYRIE WITH THE REVERSAL WHIPS MILLI AS SHE’S LAUNCHED LIKE A ROCK FROM A SLINGSHOT SHOULDER-FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS! VALKYRIE COLLAPSES TO HER KNEES FROM EXHAUSTION AFTERWARD, BUT SHE’S REGAINED CONTROL, AND THIS HAS BEEN THE STORY OF THE MATCH!
Flannery McCoy: Every time Milli Banks seemingly finds her zone and gains some momentum, it gets curtailed by Valkyrie, who’s proving tonight she’s just as talented between the ears as she is physically.
Jake Mercer: Valkyrie now rises back to her feet after falling down to her knees in exhaustion from the blistering pace of the Specialist Champion Milli Banks, and she rolls into and out of the ring to stop any potential countout, now walking back over to Milli Banks who’s favoring that right shoulder which got planted into those steel steps, and she grabs her by the nape of her neck and tries to smash her face down into the canvas near the apron — but Milli Banks presses her hands against the canvas to block it, and she elbows Valkyrie multiple times in rapid succession before she throws her back into the ring!
Stew-O: Milli Banks follows suit as she slides back into the ring, but Valkyrie is already back to her feet and she connects with multiple boot stomps to Milli Banks, but Milli is still determined, powering through it all, trying to leverage the ropes to regain a vertical base, and Valkyrie can’t believe it as she continues to lay in those stomps to send Milli Banks back down — but Milli with an elbow to the midsection of Valkyrie from a seated position! She buys herself a moment of time and rises back to her feet, and now the two of them are going at it, exchanging punches and forearms as a veritable hockey fight has now broken out in the nitty-gritty of this matchup, and finally Milli sends Valkyrie staggering and she darts back toward her, refusing to let her catch her breath — BUT VALKYRIE RESPONDS WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE OF MILLI, AND THAT CAUGHT HER REAL GOOD! MILLI BANKS’ EYES ARE GLAZED OVER, THIS COULD BE THE MOMENT OF TRUTH FOR VALKYRIE HERE!
Flannery: AND VALKYRIE IS SETTING MILLI UP FOR SOMETHING HERE — SHE’S GOT HER HOISTED UP FOR THE BURNING DESCENT! OH MY GOD, IS SHE GOING TO CONTINUE TO EXECUTE IT HER? VALKYRIE’S GOT MILLI ABOVE HER SHOULDERS, AND NOW SHE JUST HAS TO FINISH IT!
Jake Mercer: NO! MILLI BANKS WRIGGLES OUT OF THE BURNING DESCENT, AND KICKS THE BACK OF VALKYRIE’S LEG THAT SENDS HER FACE DOWNWARD AS SHE REMAINS STANDING UP! MILLI BANKS RUNS THE ROPES LIKE A GAZELLE!
Stew-O: AND MILLI CAUGHT HER! MILLI CAUGHT VALKYRIE WITH THAT NEW BODY! THAT KAIROPRACTOR! THE NEW BODY CONNECTS AND MILLI BANKS HOOKS VALKYRIE’S LEG EMPHATICALLY FOR THE PIN!
Ref: ONEEEEE!!!!!…. TWOOOOOO!!!!!… THRRR—
THREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Changed It” by Nicki Minaj featuring Lil Wayne hits as an exhausted Milli Banks slowly rises to her feet with her hand being raised by the referee after the tightly contested, hard-fought battle)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… THE EAW SPECIALIST CHAMPION… MILLIIIII BANKSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
Flannery: What a fantastic back-and-forth by these two elitists here tonight on Dynasty!
Jake Mercer: Valkyrie showed tonight the kind of promise she has in the future, and what a great contender she can be going forward, but Milli Banks is champion for a reason and tonight is her night.
Stew-O: Valkyrie had control for the majority of this match, but Milli Banks proved it’s not about how you start, but how you finish, and she finished strong here tonight.
(The camera fades backstage as the echoes of the thousands packed inside the Amica Mutual Arena are heard as they immediately erupt into a chorus of a mixture of both cheers and boos as we see Theron Nikolas making his way into the arena. He’s obviously not dressed to compete, but there wasn’t a chance that he was going to miss his first opportunity to return to what truly once used to be his home. It was the first time that Theron Nikolas had arrived to Dynasty since he last stood at the top of the company as the former longest reigning Answers World Champion, and while there was a time where it would have been the last place that he wanted to find himself… he finally felt like he found himself standing where he needed to be in order to take his place back to the place which he had longed. He begins to make his way further into the arena before being met by Kathy Kush who has a microphone in hand.)
Kathy Kush: Is there a chance that I’m able to get a few words, Theron?
(Theron takes a moment before turning his eyes towards Kathy as the hint of a smile crosses his face.)
Theron Nikolas: I’d love to give a few words.
Kathy Kush: Firstly, I’d like to be the first person to welcome you back to Dynasty. The last time you found yourself a part of the Dynasty Roster – you were walking into the headline of Pain for Pride as the reigning Answers World Champion, and what will go down as arguably the greatest wrestling match in that show’s history. There are a lot of people who have made their opinions clear about the champion that you were, and you’ve admitted in the past that you weren’t necessarily proud of the things that you did, but there’s not a lot of people that can take away from what you achieved during your time on this brand. The rivalries with both Jamie O’Hara and Mr. DEDEDE; two people who are always going to be a part of the conversation revolving the greatest of all time. This brand had the chance to see the worst side of you, but it also had the chance to see the best version of you, Theron. You’ve managed to find some success since returning, but obviously not to the same extent. I think the question that I’m looking to ask is… what version of Theron Nikolas is walking back onto this brand five years after your last?
Theron Nikolas: That’s the question, isn’t it Kathy?
(Theron grits his teeth for a moment before taking a deep breath.)
Theron Nikolas: It’s the question that I’ve been asking myself since I walked back through the doors of this company two years ago. I’ve been trying to figure this all out for two years. I’ve told everybody that I need to find the answers to why it has always felt like I’ve been fingertips away from taking the throne that I used to sit on, but I’ve just haven’t been able to take that final step. I walked back through the doors of this company and I called myself the God Emperor. I might have been gone, but there was never meant to be a day where I couldn’t walk back into EAW and take back everything that I once held the moment that I wanted it back. But, what happened, Kathy? I was humbled immediately. I had to learn the hard way that this business continued to move forward and better itself while I sat at home, licking the wounds of my own decisions. I accepted that I wasn’t the person that I used to be. I called myself the Ghost. I accepted being a shell of a man. I looked at myself as being less than everything that I know that I am and spent all of my time looking for the answers that I was so desperate to avoid. The answers that I’ve always known. I have spent the last two years being my own worst enemy. I said it leading into Pain for Pride. I never had a true problem with Chris Elite. I had a problem with myself. I looked at him and I saw everything that I allowed myself to become, Kathy. I saw a man who used to be great and a man who had allowed himself to wallow away and become content with being less than. I couldn’t move forward until I proved that I was so much more than I have been. I couldn’t rid myself of the cloud that has been over my head if I didn’t destroy every single piece about myself that I hated.
(The emotion on Theron’s face was raw. It really wasn’t something that the world has had the chance to see from him. A man who is usually so calculated and cold was speaking from his heart for the first time in a long time.)
Theron Nikolas: It’s so fitting. There was never going to be a brand that I needed to come back to than Dynasty. There was never going to be another brand that I truly needed to take the throne back of. This was the home that allowed me to be everything that I dreamed about becoming. You said it yourself. I’ve admitted that I’m not proud of the things that I did while I was the Answers World Champion. I had glimpses of greatness. I beat Jamie O’Hara clean in the middle of the ring at King of Elite. I’m the man who forced Cameron Ella Ava to find the gear that she was missing for years, which allowed her to go onto capturing the one thing that she just couldn’t take hold of. It took the collection of two of the greatest of all time to take that championship away from me on the grandest stage in this business. But, it’s all overshadowed by the things that I did. How I held myself. The small moments that I let slip through my fingers. I’m back on Dynasty to take back everything that I’ve been chasing. I’m back to take the throne that I used to call my own. I’m back to put MY crown back on top of my head. But, most importantly, Kathy – I’m back to be the champion that I always should have been. This isn’t about taking shortcuts. It’s not about creating an environment where there isn’t a possibility that I don’t succeed. I am going to cut through every single name that they put in my way. Chris Elite was the first. Donovan Duke was the second. I’m not the God Emperor anymore. I’m not the Ghost. I am simply – inevitable.
(Theron goes to take a step away from Kathy, but is bumped into by… Xander Payne and Ryan Wilson.)
Ryan Wilson: Are you blind?
(Theron takes a step back, putting up his hands as Xander Payne shakes his head.)
Theron Nikolas: Let me apologize – I don’t tend to spend my time looking out for either Ronald McDonald or Grimace.
Xander Payne: Oh, that was a good one! I guess when you spend enough time being a joke that you tend to figure out how to put one together. Don’t get too comfortable because we both remember what happened the last time that we stood against each other.
Ryan Wilson: I still can’t believe that he actually got drafted.
(Theron goes to speak, but is interrupted by Xander.)
Xander Payne: You don’t get to speak now. You had for 5 minutes of boredom and making promises that you’re never going to be able to keep. You can call yourself whatever you want to be, Theron, but all you really are is the guy who couldn’t keep Ronn Banks away for good and I had to clean up the mess that you left. You’re welcome for that by the way.
Theron Nikolas: How has that worked out for you, Xander? You’re the guy that did the same thing that I did, but was actually meant to go onto cementing a legacy far greater than I managed to do. I mean – I went onto winning the Answers World Championship and having a reign that lasted longer than any other previously putting this brand on my back as the face of this entire company, and capped it off by headlining Pain for Pride. You followed it up by spending a season wasting away, getting carried by a guy that wasn’t good enough to win a championship while spending over a year as the General Manager of Showdown. You went from beating Ronn Banks at Pain for Pride, retiring him “forever”, and then losing in a mid show match as a team simply making up the numbers. You used to call yourself the World Heavyweight God, Xander. Looks like the only thing that you’ve managed to keep out of it all is the Weight.
(Ryan goes to step forward, but is stopped by Xander who simply chuckles to himself.)
Xander Payne: Why don’t you remind me who you’re facing tonight, Theron? Oh, that’s right! You’ll be sitting in the locker room, reminiscing about four years ago while I main event the show that you couldn’t get booked on. Good luck with “reclaiming that throne” though. I’ll make sure to listen as you’re still making the same claims this time next year.
(DOMINION brushes past Theron as he watches them leave. His eyes never leave their direction as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(The camera returns to the ring where Stephie Love has a microphone in hand and is ready to start the introductions for the next match.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Dead Opps” by DD Osama & Notti Osama starts to play as Michael Machina enters the arena to a very loud chorus of boos, but Machina could care less. He pays the crowd no mind as he heads to the ring. )
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Brooklyn, New York! Weighing in at 240 pounds! Here is “THE MONEYMAKER” MICHAEL MACHINA!!
Stew-O: Here comes a man who, thanks to the Draft, calls Dynasty home. This man has found nothing but success in his young career thus far in EAW.
Flannery McCoy: He finished third in the 24/7 Battle Royal at Pain for Pride and he is looking to continue his run of success into Season 17. At this rate, success is inevitable for Machina. Not only that, he’s pompous. He’s arrogant and he’s completely full of himself.
Jake Mercer: What’s our point? He finished third at Pain for Pride, but outside of that, has he been pinned or been defeated or anything? I don’t think so. Look, Michael won that fatal four way match at the Draft Show last week. If you ask me, I think we are looking at a future title contender.
(Michael enters the ring as the crowd continues to boo him. Michael takes his corner as his entrance music fades off. After a brief second of silence, “Run” by Zeal & Ardor starts to play as Mercer McKay enters the arena. The crowd is booing him, but not as much as Michael as the intimidating monster heads to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing his opponent! From The Black Cabin! Weighing in at 283 pounds! Here is “THE MASTODON” MERCER MCKAY!”
Jake Mercer: Here comes the opposition and this man is very VERY scary. I am not sure why he’s here unless it’s to keep the mice away from the arena. Besides… The Black Cabin? Where in the hell is that? Two lefts before you reach Parts Unknown or something?
Flannery McCoy: Be nice, would you? Mercer McKay is a very dangerous and very powerful competitor who will be more than a challenge here for Michael Machina tonight as Mercer is also having his first match as an official member of the Dynasty Roster.
Stew-O: Two up and coming stars in EAW are about to lock up in just a few moments. Which man will leave victorious? We are about to find out.
(Mercer enters the ring and looks to go right for Michael, but the referee somehow manages to keep the two competitors separated and gets them into their neutral corners. The referee checks both competitors before they call for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go! This match is underway and this is going to be a very interesting battle right here. A battle of two of the bigger members of the Dynasty roster going at it here tonight on the first Dynasty of the new season.
Flannery McCoy: Both men rely on their power game, so it’s going to be hard for one man to overpower the other, so this match will be hard to tell to say the least. Now we get some action as the two men lock up in the center of the ring trying to get the advantage over the other.
Jake Mercer: They are trying to overpower the other, but it isn’t going to work at this point in the match. But it will be great to see who will win in this battle of the behemoths.
Flannery McCoy: Both men are trying to muscle the other to gain advantage, but it was a cheap kick to the gut by Machina that gives him the advantage as he throws a few forearms into Mercer’s face until he backs him into the ropes.
Jake Mercer: Machina tries to whip Mercer to the ropes, BUT MERCER ISN’T BUDGING! Machina tries again, BUT MERCER STILL DOESN’T MOVE! Machina tries to whip him one more time–
Stew-O: BUT MERCER PULLS MACHINA BACK IN AND CLOBBERS HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE! WHAT A SHOT! Michael goes down hard and Mercer is not just delivering the boots to Machina as tries to roll away.
Jake Mercer: Machina learned the hard way that power isn’t going to work this early in the match up, but he does make his way to the ropes and the ref asks for a break.
Stew-O: Mercer glares at the referee, but he does break away from Machina for a brief moment before going right back to Michael AND DRAGS HIM BACK TO HIS FEET BY THE HAIR!
Flannery McCoy: Machina is back up on the apron AND MERCER BRINGS HIM BACK INTO THE RING THE HARD WAY! MACHINA GOES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND CRASHES BACK INTO THE RING!
Stew-O: Machina needs to be careful because Mercer is very dangerous competitor and he doesn’t need to let Mercer build up momentum like this. Machina is down AND MERCER DROPS AN ELBOW ACROSS THE CHEST!
Flannery McCoy: Michael is on the ropes early on as Mercer goes to drop another elbow, BUT MICHAEL ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND MERCER MEETS THE CANVAS!
Jake Mercer: Both men are back to their feet AND MICHAEL FIRES A CLOTHESLINE, BUT MERCER IS STILL ON HIS FEET! Machina tries another clothesline, BUT MERCER IS STILL STANDING!
Flannery McCoy: You gotta give credit to Machina to try and get this big man off his feet. But that is a very tall task. This time Michael backs up to the ropes to get more momentum, BUT INSTEAD OF A CLOTHESLINE, MICHAEL COMES BACK WITH A MISSILE-LIKE SHOULDER TACKLE!
Jake Mercer: HOLY CRAP! HE’S TEETERING! HE’S TEETERING! HE’S GONNA FALL! HE DID IT! HE DID IT! WHAT POWER BY MICHAEL MACHINA!! THIS IS GREAT!!
Stew-O: BUT MERCER IS STILL STANDING! Mercer regains his balance AND GRABS MICHAEL BY THE THROAT AND JUST LIFTS HIM IN THE AIR! I THINK ALL THAT OFFENSE DID WAS GET MERCER MAD!
Jake Mercer: Michael is just dangling up in the air as the referee starts a count to get Mercer to release the hold. The referee reaches four and MERCER THROWS MICHAEL BACK DOWN WITH A CHOKEBOMB!
Stew-O: Michael lands hard on the back of his head as Mercer hits the ropes AND DROPS DOWN ON MICHAEL WITH A 283 POUND SPLASH! RIGHT ON THE MONEY AS MERCER HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: WHAT A KICKOUT BY MICHAEL MACHINA! STILL HAS A LOT OF ENERGY AS THIS MATCH GOES ON! Mercer brings Michael back to his feet and whips him to the ropes.
Stew-O: Michael comes back as Mercer puts his head down AND MACHINA KICKS HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE! THAT FLINGS MERCER BACK! Machina hits the ropes again to get more momentum as he JUMPS OVER MERCER! WHAT A VERTICAL LEAP AS HE GOES FOR A SUNSET FLIP-
Flannery McCoy: UH OH! MERCER GRABS MICHAEL’S LEGS! MICHEAL IS TRYING TO GET FREE, BUT IT IS TO NO AVAIL AS MERCER JUST DROPS DOWN TO HIS KNEES AND SPIKES MICHAEL WITH THE DEADEYE PILEDRIVER! THAT WAS AN UGLY LANDING!
Jake Mercer: Mercer could easily go for another cover right there, but instead he is eyeing the corner and he exits the ring AND STARTS CLIMBING UP TO THE TOP ROPE! MICHAEL, YOU MIGHT WANNA MOVE OR YOU WILL BE IN BIG TROUBLE!
Flannery McCoy: Mercer doesn’t fly that often, but when he does, you know he wants to cause maximum damage to his opponent. Mercer is now standing on the top turnbuckle eyeing a still down Michael Machina as he JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE–
Jake Mercer: MERCER GOES FOR THE LEG DROP OFF THE TOP, BUT MICHAEL ROLLED AWAY AT THE VERY LAST SECOND AND MERCER FINDS NOTHING BUT THE CANVAS! THAT MIGHT HAVE BROKE A FEW BOARDS OF THE RING!
Stew-O: Will you stop, Jake? But Michael is slowly getting back to his feet as well as Mercer. Both men are feeling the effects of their respective maneuvers as they both are finally back up to their feet.
Jake Mercer: Mercer tries to fire off a clothesline that Michael ducks. When Mercer turns around, MERCER DELIVERS A DROPKICK TO THE FACE AND ONCE AGAIN MERCER IS STILL STANDING! What is it going to take to get Mercer McKay off his feet?
Stew-O: Who knows? But the gears in Michael’s head are certainly going as he climbs up to the second rope AND HE JUMPS OFF THE SECOND ROPE WITH THAT DIVING SHOULDER TACKLE! MERCER IS TEETERING ONCE AGAIN! WILL THIS BE ENOUGH–
Flannery McCoy: HOLY CRAP! IT WAS ENOUGH! THE SHOULDER TACKLE FROM THE SECOND ROPE GOT MERCER OFF BALANCE ENOUGH THAT IT TOOK HIM OFF HIS FEET! THE BIG MAN IS FINALLY DOWN!
Stew-O: Machina showing that he is indeed a powerhouse to be reckoned with as Michael drags Mercer into the middle of the ring BEFORE PERFORMING A STANDING MOONSAULT! MACHINA GOT ALL OF IT AS HE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THHHHHRRRRREEEEE–
Flannery McCoy: MERCER KICKS OUT WITH AUTHORITY AS HE ALMOST THROWS MICHAEL OFF OF HIM! My next question is how many competitors that are the size of Michael Machina pull off a standing moonsault like that?
Jake Mercer: When you are as gifted as Michael Machina, things like standing moonsaults just come naturally. Machina is a very amazing athlete and that is what is going to make him a threat on Dynasty.
Flannery McCoy: I guess we know who you are rooting for in this match. But Mercer is starting to get back to his feet. Machina is just a little bit quicker as he grabs Mercer’s head.
Jake Mercer: Machina is looking to show off more power because he wants to suplex Mercer! MICHAEL GETS HIM UP IN THE AIR BUT MERCER IS BLOCKING IT! MICHAEL TRIES AGAIN AND THIS TIME HE GETS HIM ALL THE WAY UP AND DROPS HIM WITH THE VERTICAL SUPLEX!
Stew-O: Now Machina grabs Mercer’s leg and looks to roll him over for a Single Leg Boston Crab, BUT MERCER IS STILL FIGHTING! MERCER USES HIS FREE LEG TO KICK MICHAEL IN THE KNEE!
Jake Mercer: Mercer kicks his leg out from under him AND MICHAEL GOES FACE FIRST INTO MERCER’S KNEECAP! How quickly momentum changes. Mercer gets back up and grabs Michael as he hoists Michael onto his shoulder with the fireman’s carry.
Stew-O: NOW MERCER HOISTS MICHAEL OFF OF HIS SHOULDERS AND LIFTS HIM INTO THE AIR WITH THE MILITARY PRESS! MACHINA IS NO LIGHTWEIGHT AND MERCER IS HOLDING HIM UP IN THE AIR LIKE IT WAS NOTHING!
Flannery McCoy: Mercer has Michael in a very vulnerable position. Michael Machina has nowhere he can go but… DOWN! MERCER JUST DROPS MICHAEL AND MICHAEL CRASHES HARD ON THE MAT!
Stew-O: Ugly landing for Michael Machina as Mercer rolls him over AND DROPS HIS LEG ACROSS MERCER’S THROAT BEFORE HOOKING THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE—
Flannery McCoy: MICHAEL IS STILL ABLE TO POWER OUT AT TWO! This a great match between two powerhouses of EAW. We knew that it was going to be hard hitting and we were right.
Jake Mercer: Right now it’s Mercer with control of the match and Mercer might be at the point where is going to play with his opponent and break him down as much as he can before he finishes him off.
Flannery McCoy: Mercer grabs Michael by the waist in the gutwrench position and lifts him back to his feet BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP IN THE AIR FOR A GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB-
Jake Mercer: MICHAEL IS UP FOR THE POWERBOMB, BUT MICHAEL IS THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHTS TRYING TO GET FREE FROM THE POWERBOMB, BUT LOOK! MICHAEL TIGHTENS HIS LEGS AROUND MERCER’S NECK AND FLIPS BACK!
Stew-O: MICHAEL TAKES MERCER DOWN WITH A HURRICANRANA! WHAT A COUNTER! MERCER’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN AND MICHAEL HOOKS MERCER’S LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: MERCER KICKS OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE THREE COUNT! AND MERCER IS GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET ALMOST LIKE IT WAS NOTHING, BUT MICHAEL IS READY TO STRIKE!
Stew-O: Mercer is back up to his feet AND MICHAEL TAKES HIM UP AND DROPS HIM WITH A BACK BODY DROP! HOLY CRAP! MERCER LANDS HARD AS HE GETS BACK UP.
Flannery McCoy: Michael grabs his wrist and PULLS HIM IN FOR A SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE! MICHAEL MEANS BUSINESS RIGHT NOW! MERCER IS BACK UP TO HIS FEET!
Stew-O: But Michael is ready for Mercer once again AS HE MANAGES TO PICK MERCER UP AND DROP HIM WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! THIS MAN IS ON FIRE AS MERCER IS DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: Michael has the momentum on his side, so he takes a brief moment to do a quick taunt to the crowd with a double bicep flex and the crowd are booing him out of the building. You haven’t won yet.
Jake Mercer: Come on, Flannery. He has earned the right to showboat a little. He has Mercer on the ropes.
Flannery McCoy: Of course you would think that. Then I would suggest that Michael not turn around.
Jake Mercer: What do you mea–? OH CRAP! TURN AROUND MICHAEL! TURN AROUND!!
Stew-O: Mercer is back up to his feet and turns Michael around and tries for a lariat, BUT MICHAEL DUCKS IT AND HITS THE ROPES! Michael comes back AND FIRES OFF A CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL! MONEY SHOT ON THE WAY–
Jake Mercer: MERCER GETS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND, SO MACHINA HITS THE ROPES ON THE OTHER SIDE! Michael comes back–
Stew-O: AND MERCER GRABS HIM AND THROWS HIM IN THE AIR BEFORE MERCER CLOBBERS MACHINA IN THE FACE WITH THAT BACK ELBOW! THAT WAS EMPTY PRAYERS BY MERCER MCKAY AS HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: MICHAEL BARELY GETS THE SHOULDER UP BEFORE THE REFEREE COUNTS THREE! WHAT A NEAR FALL BY MERCER MCKAY! Mercer isn’t exactly pleased that Michael kicked out, but he is staying on the attack.
Stew-O: Mercer drags Michael back to his feet and has his head down in the powerbomb position before he butterflies Michael’s arms. MERCER LIFTS MICHAEL IN THE AIR AS HE LOOKS FOR THE HALL OF ATONEMENT! TIGER DRIVER 91 ON THE WAY–
Flannery McCoy: MICHAEL KICKS AROUND AND TRIES TO SHIFT MOMENTUM SO MERCER CAN’T HIT THE MOVE AND HE FINALLY MANAGES TO GET THE JOB DONE AND MICHAEL IS BACK ON THE CANVAS!
Jake Mercer: Mercer is trying to lift him up again, BUT MICHAEL IS BLOCKING IT! Mercer starts clobbering Michael’s back and tries to lift Machina up again, BUT MICHAEL IS STILL BLOCKING THE MOVE!
Flannery McCoy: LOOK! MICHAEL IS COMING OUT OF NOWHERE AND HE REVERSES THE MOVE AND HOISTS MERCER ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! Come on, Michael. Think about it!
Jake Mercer: He is thinking about it as he takes a few deep breaths BEFORE HE LIFTS MERCER OFF OF HIS SHOULDERS AND LIFTS HIM INTO THE AIR! NOW MICHAEL HAS MERCER IN A 283 POUND MILITARY PRESS!
Stew-O: MORE POWER ON DISPLAY BY MICHAEL MACHINA AS HE HOLDS MERCER UP IN THE AIR FOR A FEW SECONDS LONGER BEFORE HE SLAMS MERCER DOWN WITH THE HEAT’S DESCENT!
Jake Mercer: Beautiful Gorilla Press Slam by the upstart Michael Machina, but he chooses to not go for the cover. I hate to say it, but it might be a mistake right there.
Stew-O: He brings Mercer back to his feet and whips him to the ropes. Mercer comes back after the rebound AS MICHAEL PICKS HIM UP AND SWINGS HIM INTO THE BLACK HOLE SLAM!
Flannery McCoy: MERCER WAS SLAMMED HARD WITH THAT SLAM AND THIS TIME MICHAEL DECIDES TO DROP DOWN AND GO FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEE!
Stew-O: MERCER KICKS OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE THREE! These two men have been beating the crap out of each other in this match. This has been a great showcase match here on Dynasty.
Flannery McCoy: And it is not over yet. Machina has a viscous look in his eyes as he brings Mercer back up and this time Mercer is in the powerbomb position. Do you think that Michael can lift Mercer into a powerbomb?
Jake Mercer: If he can do the Gorilla Press Slam on him, he can do the powerbomb as well. Michael wraps his arms around Mercer’s waist and HE LIFTS MERCER UP IN THE AIR!
Flannery McCoy: Michael is going for the .50 Cal Sitout Powerbomb and HE HAS MERCER UP! BUT MERCER IS THROWING PUNCH AFTER PUNCH TO MICHAEL’S SKULL!
Jake Mercer: OH NO! THOSE PUNCHES CAUSE MICHAEL TO LOSE HIS BALANCE AND HE FALLS BACKWARD! MICHAEL HITS THE MAT AND MERCER LANDS ON TOP OF HIM!
Stew-O: The referee drops down for a cover, but Michael wraps his legs around Mercer’s waist and takes him down into a cover, but Mercer is able to roll through. Both men are back to their feet.
Jake Mercer: Michael comes up to strike, BUT MERCER PICKS HIM UP AND PLANTS HIM WITH A SPINEBUSTER! YOU CAN FEEL THE INTENSITY FROM THAT MOVE RIGHT THERE!
Stew-O: Mercer brings Michael back to his feet and whips him into the corner. Michael hits the turnbuckle and Mercer is coming full speed towards Michael like an angry freight train–
Flannery McCoy: AND THE FREIGHT TRAIN CRASHES INTO THE CORNER AS MICHAEL GETS OUT OF THE WAY AND MERCER FINDS NOTHING BUT THE TURNBUCKLE!
Stew-O: Michael gets behind Mercer AND DELIVERS A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF THE NECK AND MERCER GOES FACE FIRST INTO THE CORNER ONCE AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: Mercer staggers back out of the corner and Michael wraps his arms around Mercer’s waist AND PLANTS HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! WHAT A MOVE!
Jake Mercer: Michael plants Mercer right on the back of his head. Now Mercer is being dragged back to his feet as Michael now whips Mercer to the corner.
Flannery McCoy: Mercer crashes hard into the turnbuckle as Michael heads full speed into the corner AND MICHAEL IS MET WITH A BOOT RIGHT IN THE FACE! THAT COULD HAVE LOOSENED A FEW MOLARS RIGHT THERE!
Jake Mercer: Now Mercer climbs up to the middle rope as Michael runs in to strike, BUT MERCER WITH A BOOT TO THE JAW AND THAT STAGGERS MICHAEL! MERCER IS STILL STANDING ON THE MIDDLE ROPE AND HE GRABS MICHAEL BY THE HAIR TO BRING HIM BACK IN!
Stew-O: OH MY GAWD! MERCER BUTTERFLIES THE ARMS ONCE AGAIN AND HIS TRYING TO LIFT HIM UP IN THE AIR! MERCER LIKES TO GO FOR THE HIERARCHY IN THIS SPOT! THE TIGER DRIVER ‘98 FROM THE MIDDLE ROPE COULD NOT ONLY END THE MATCH, BUT END MICHAEL’S CAREER!
Jake Mercer: MACHINA IS IN A VERY DANGEROUS SPOT AND IF MERCER GETS HIM ALL THE WAY UP THIS MATCH WILL BE OVER, BUT MACHINA IS FIGHTING IT! MERCER IS FIGHTING WITH ALL HE CAN TO GET MACHINA UP FOR THE TIGER DRIVER!
Stew-O: MACHINA MANAGES TO SHIFT HIS WEIGHT AND BLOCK THE MOVE ENOUGH TO GET FREE AND MACHINA IS BACK ON THE MAT! NOW MICHAEL GRABS MERCER BY THE WAIST AND TAKES HIM OFF THE SECOND ROPE WITH AN OVERHEAD THROW! WHAT POWER!
Flannery McCoy: WHAT A COUNTER BY MACHINA AS MACHINA LANDS HARD ON HIS BACK AND STARTS TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET! BUT MACHINA IS WAITING FOR HIM AS HE CROUCHES IN THE CORNER READY TO STRIKE! MERCER IS BACK UP ON HIS FEET AND HE TURNS AROUND–
Stew-O: AND HE TURNS RIGHT INTO THE BULLET FROM HELL BY MACHINA! WHAT A SPEAR BY MACHINA AND HE CAUGHT IT RIGHT ON THE MONEY! MERCER DID NOT SEE IT COMING AS HE CRASHED HARD BACK ON THE MAT AND MACHINA HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHRRRRRRREEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Dead Opps” starts playing once again as Michael rolls off of Mercer as the chorus of boos start up once again before Stephie Love announces the final decision.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… MICHAEL MACHINA!
Stew-O: This was a great match we just witnessed between two of the amazing powerhouses of EAW. These two men are rising stars on Dynasty, but unfortunately, only one could win and it looks like “The Moneymaker” will have his arm raised in victory tonight.
(Michael is back to his feet as the referee raises his arm in victory before Michael quickly snatches it away in disgust. The referee doesn’t push the issue as they go back to check on Mercer.)
Flannery McCoy: This was a very hard hitting match that could have gone either way but it was just one turn of events that led to the match ending the way it did.
Jake Mercer: Both men brought their all, but it was this insane specimen of a competitor in Michael Machina that picked up a huge victory here tonight. He is going to have a bright future here on Dynasty and I can’t wait to see the evolution of Machina.
(Michael continues to look mockingly at Mercer for a moment before he leaves the ring and heads up the entrance ramp.)
Flannery McCoy: As much as you are singing the praises of Machina, Jake, you have to give Mercer a lot of credit. He lives up to the dangerous and malicious powerhouse reputation. He was very close to winning the match on a few occasions. Even though he didn’t win, he will no doubt do fine on Voltage.
Stew-O: That’s right, Flannery.There will be another day for Mercer McKay, but tonight belongs to Michael Machina and we offer our congratulations to Michael for the victory tonight.
(The final shot shows Michael standing at the top of the entrance ramp celebrating his victory before cutting to Mercer, who is finally sitting back up and he is beyond angry as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(Friday Night Dynasty would fade back in from commercial break, and into the backstage area, as the camera would point to an interview section of the backstage, with Dynasty Interviewer; Michael Belfort standing in the frame, getting final preparations ready with a smile on his face, as he looks ready to start the interview with one of Dynasty’s newest acquisitions. Once he gets the okay, Michael would look up into the camera, his eyes fixated on it as he raises the microphone up to him, and he looks ready to speak to start this interview off in the right way.)
Michael Belfort: What a night that it has been on the first ever Friday Night Dynasty of season seventeen! We have seen a lot of surprises so early on, and some great matchups, and it’s only the beginning of this show, we still have a lot more to come! But before we can get to the rest of the programming, I would like to talk to one of Dynasty’s new acquisitions from this year’s draft, and a former world champion herself! So ladies and gentlemen, would you please help me introduce my guest at this time! She is MS. EXTREME!!!
(The crowd in the arena would explode in cheers, as Michael Belfort with a huge smile grinning ear to ear would step over to the side, and Ms. Extreme for the first time in years would step in front of the camera frame as a member of the Dynasty roster. She is wearing her casual over the top attire; an oversized fluffy white and gold jacket, and a white pair of sunglasses with diamond studs on them. She looks towards Michael’s way confident as ever, as she leans up against the crates, ready to officially start this interview right now.)
Michael Belfort: Thank you for joining me here tonight, Camille!
Ms. Extreme: It’s not a problem at all, Michael. Thank you for having me here.
Michael Belfort: Firstly, I would like to say that even though you didn’t beat Impact at Pain For Pride, congratulations on being able to get your hands on Kennedy Street once and for all, and making her tap out! With that being said, now that we are in season seventeen, you have been drafted to the Dynasty roster once more, and we know you share some fond memories here. How do you feel being back?
(Ms. Extreme smirks at this.)
Ms. Extreme: Honestly Michael, I‘m glad that I am back on the Dynasty roster. I’m glad that I can be as far away from that bum who calls herself a general manager of Showdown… even though I would have loved to be able to continue to make her life a living hell throughout this season as well, but, it seems like that isn’t my duties to do such a thing anymore, which I understand. She wouldn’t have drafted me there anymore. So being on Friday Night Dynasty again for the first time in years is certainly huge for me here, and I am very glad that it was Dynasty who called the pick to draft me to their brand. Although, I feel bad for Hurricane Hawk that I wasn’t able to get his job back, but I’m sure he would understand me. Sometimes, you can only do all you can.
Ms. Extreme: But you’re right. This is the brand that I have a lot of memories of when I was a part of its roster a couple of years back. Back in 2019 actually, when being on Dynasty was really what made me the competitor that I am today; one bad son of a bitch. It was Dynasty that helped me really breakout in Elite Answers Wrestling, and when I left Dynasty, it didn’t hurt, because I knew that I would have been back one day, and now look at where we are now. I’m back, and I am better than ever before. I’m not the same Elitist that I once was in 2019, I’m a former world champion. I have accomplished an awful lot. Dynasty was the brand where I truly had my breakout season, and now I am going to personally make sure that this season is special.
Michael Belfort: I’m sure that it doesn’t need to be said, but everyone knows just how much of a determined Elitist you can be when there is something that you want, or something that you feel you need. Do you have any goals for this season? Is there anything that you want to set out to be able to accomplish that you weren’t able to after just returning late in the season just last season?
Ms. Extreme: Actually? There is something. As much as I would love to be able to stand here and go on yet another rant about how much Disney sucks and how I want it to burn to the ground, after all, Disney is what takes away from everything that professional wrestling and EAW is supposed to be all about…. (deep breath) I won’t do that, because this season, I have other matters that I want to tend to.
Michael Belfort: Oh… yikes… well, do you care to explain?!
Ms. Extreme: Of course Michael, because actually, it’s very simple. I want to be on the very top of the world once again. I want to be able to stand comfortably at the top of the mountain like I once did, above all of the talent that Dynasty possibly has to offer, and say that I am fucking back. We already mentioned it; the last time I was a part of the Dynasty roster, I was still breaking out. This season? I’m one of the very best that this company has ever seen, and I am going to personally make sure that I prove that. I want to become a world champion once again, whether it’s the Universal Women’s Championship for a second time, or quite possibly the World Heavyweight Championship. I want to prove not to anyone else but myself that I am still, always will be, that bitch.
(Michael is taken aback from Ms. Extreme’s sudden change in attitude, as he steps a little bit backward, smiling nervously. Ms. Extreme however simply snickers to herself, looking over to Michael, before giving him a pat on his shoulder, reassuring him she doesn’t bite, as Michael takes a deep breath.)
Ms. Extreme: Next question, Michael?
Michael Belfort: (sigh) Oh! Yeah! Of course. This year’s draft has seen some of the very best that EAW has ever seen be drafted over to the Dynasty brand which of course includes you, but on top of that, the brand shows that it will also be about the land of opportunity, with a bunch of the rising Elitists from the past months as well. Do you have anything to say about any of those Elitists looking to make names for themselves during this season?
Ms. Extreme: I look at Dynasty’s roster, and I see what you mean. There are some of the very best on this brand, but also some Elitists looking to make a name for themselves; and fit themselves into that same category so many of us veterans are in, and I understand it. But, they still have a whole lot to learn here. Michael Machina debuted on Showdown a couple of months ago and he has been on a path of destruction since then, not being pinned once. Even though I think he personally fucking sucks, Drake Armstrong might have a future now that he isn’t doing tricks on Kennedy Street’s lap. Of course the current New Breed Champion, Hans Grayson, as well as Specialist Champion, Milli Banks who all are going to make names for themselves, and have already been doing exactly that. The new generation and crop of Elitists, I can say; they have a really good future here-
???: Ahem, ahem, ahem… you forgetting about someone in that conversation?
(Ms. Extreme looks confused as she hears someone from behind her. She steps back, as another one of Dynasty’s newest acquisitions and rising Elitists; Rory Slate would step up into the frame, wearing a more casual attire and out of her wrestling gear after her match against Nyx earlier in the night. She pushes Michael Belfort out of the way and takes the microphone out of his hand in the process, as she gets up into Ms. Extreme’s face, not looking very happy about what she was hearing, and clearly not happy about her name being mentioned in that conversation.)
Rory Slate: I think… you’re forgetting about me, that correct?
(Ms. Extreme does a motion; acting like she was thinking to herself, before looking back towards Rory with a shit eating grin on her face.)
Ms. Extreme: Hmm. Nope, I don’t think I was. Sorry!
Rory Slate: You see, this is what I mean. Elitists like yourself who just because they have been around for a couple of years and won a couple of titles, thinking that they can just send disrespect towards the way of the rising Elitists starting out in this company; like we are nothing and won’t be on your level. You need to start thinking again. I don’t know who you think you are Camille. Your form of degrading and downgrading us isn’t going to just work out the way that you would hope for it to. Trust me on that, if you even try to disrespect me. I will drop you right on your ass in mere moments.
Rory Slate: I’m looking to make a name for myself now that I am here on Friday Night Dynasty. I am looking to make season seventeen my season. I am looking to surpass whoever is at the top, and make this MY breakout year. MY breakout season, climb to the top of the mountain no matter who wants to try to hold me down, and say comfortably that I am one of the very best that EAW has to offer, and what better way to be able to do that, than by targeting the big fish; and that is going to start with you. It is going to start with yourself, Ms. Extreme, and if you think that you can just disrespect me, then start thinking again you broken down, always vulnerable, no good old hag who is doing nothing more than hogging the spotlight that will belong to ME.
Rory Slate: And I don’t care how I need to do it. I don’t care what I have to do. I don’t care what I need to do in order to get your attention, because quite frankly, this should be enough. I’m going to hold my ground against you, because there is nothing that you can do about it. You can mention the Hans Graysons, the Milli Banks, the Drake Armstrongs, and hell, mention my own boyfriend, but think that you can get away without putting me in that same conversation as the rest of those Elitists amongst so much more? It isn’t going to work like that, and you are going to have to come to terms with the fact that the Elitists of now aren‘t going to be pushed around. There are no lessons to learn, no humblings needed. We’re passing you by. And I will be first.
(Ms. Extreme drops her head down for a second, thinking to herself while Rory is left there feeling happy with what she had accomplished, that is until Ms. Extreme simply bursts out laughing. Rory looks at her confused, as Ms. Extreme picks her head back up, and snatching the microphone out of Rory’s hands, trying to now gain her composure.)
Ms. Extreme: Wow. Just. WOW! Okay, is that all that you seriously have to say about me? Is that all that you think there is to say about me and my career? That I’m not going to disrespect you? That I’m not going to downplay you, that you are going to stand up for yourself? Look, I don’t even apologize for the fact that I didn’t mention you, because there’s no reason to mention you. You have done nothing relevant since the moment that you stepped foot into these doors, and you think you can just demand my respect? You think you can just demand your name coming out of my mouth? Look RORY, until you actually do something that is worth the attention and the praise, then you are going to be treated like nothing, and you’re not going to get what you want; what you demand for you.
Ms. Extreme: Because you want to hear the truth about you, Rory? You have been here for a mere couple of months, and that is cool and all, but you have done absolutely nothing to be able to stand in front of my face and make these assumptions. You went from someone who only had a dream and was too overconfident for her own good, to being overconfident while also nothing more than a glorified valet to someone who has been proving himself way more since his debut in this company than you have, as you willingly just gave him the win at the draft show in your time to shine, but we are supposed to just ignore that right? You’re pathetic, Rory. You’re pathetic to think you can come up into my face and talk shit, and you’re pathetic to think that you have a chance standing against me.
Ms. Extreme: Now you want to make a name for yourself at the expense of me? The expense of my legacy? The expense of everything that I have ever worked for since the very day that I stepped foot into this company? Darling, it isn’t going to happen. You aren’t going to get what you want. Whatever you want out of me, you’re not going to get. Whatever you think you can do against me, isn’t going to happen. You’re going to be left questioning why you poked the bear. So do yourself a favor, and before it’s too late, leave. Go get out of here before you get a beating of a lifetime on your first day here on this very brand.
Rory Slate: Okay… I will leave. But before I do-
(Suddenly, a loud noise echoes throughout the backstage area, contact of skin hitting each other…)
Stew-O: WAIT WHAT THE HELL?!
Flannery McCoy: RORY SLATE WAS THE ONE WHO INTERRUPTED THIS INTERVIEW, AND NOW SHE JUST SLAPPED MS. EXTREME RIGHT ACROSS HER FACE, AND LOOK! MS. EXTREME IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT WHATSOEVER, AND RORY TRIES GETTING AWAY; BUT CAMILLE KEEPS APPROACHING AND BACKING HER UP!
Jake Mercer: I DON’T THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA FROM RORY… BUT SHE SHOULD GET OUT OF THERE QUICK!
(But before Ms. Extreme could even get her hands on Rory Slate, security rushed over to the scene, as they ended up holding her back. Rory just laughs nervously as Ms. Extreme gets pulled back, and she mocks her, before backing away and leaving the frame; Ms. Extreme being left restrained by security, as the camera would then begin to fade right out from there.)
(The show switches over to the backstage area where Chris Elite is seen warming up. The fans watching in the arena cheer, showing appreciation for the EAW veteran and former world champion who has turned over a new leaf since the beginning of the season.He carefully stretches his knee, the same one that got hit with a crowbar courtesy of Ronan Malosi at the Draft Show. He gives a slight frown, still noticing a bit of soreness, but it isn’t too unbearable.)
(Putting his feet down, he gingerly examines the knee one last time. With everything fine, he moves on to stretching his arms. However, he stops. His eyes dart to the side, noticing that someone is approaching him.)
???: Sup, man. How’s it going?
(The camera moves to open the shot more, revealing that this person is… Joso! The crowd goes crazy. The former Interwire Champion sticks his hand out, and Chris flashes a grin, dapping him up.)
Chris Elite: I’m cool, I’m cool. A little sore, but aye, just another day at the office, isn’t it? Oh, congrats on the first draft pick, by the way. You’ve been setting the whole world on fire for a good while. It’s much deserved.
(Chris pauses.)
Chris Elite: I hope I don’t sound like too much of a D-rider there.
(Joso bursts out laughing.)
Joso: Nah, it’s cool! It means a lot, ‘specially coming from an OG like you. Unlike certain people, you don’t take it too far. Ain’t nothing wrong with some simple compliments. Matter of fact, I think you’re owed some props. People been counting you out for a good while, and you were able to make those same people shut up. Getting a win over Rex too? Now that’s how you prove you still got it.
(A faint smile can be seen on Chris’ face.)
Chris Elite: Thanks. Just tryna put my best foot forward, you know? I spent the whole season being complacent and trying to coast on by, but eventually, I realized I had to change. People been forgetting all about me and what I was able to do, so I had to remind them that I’m far from through. The criticisms and jokes did get to me, but in the end, I’m going to be the one who’s laughing the loudest over everybody.
Joso: That’s what’s up right there.
Chris Elite: Yeah, and I definitely plan on laughing at Ronan tonight. Man, the things people do for clout. I get homeboy been in the trenches, but gah damn. Since when did he get so bold and brave, over Andre Walker of all people?
(Both men look at each, sharing a silent agreement on just how ridiculous Ronan Malosi has been ever since he was able to luck out and become associated with Andre Walker. The thought alone is enough to make Chris shake his head as he cringes.)
Chris Elite: Like, bro really spent the entirety of his season being a lap dog for some chick who ain’t even want him no more and now he finna spend ANOTHER season being an errand boy for him? He cannot be serious. Part of me thought that this was all just one big prank or something, but nah, he’s serious. He really has no shame.
Joso: For real. Bro been a bum and he continues to be a bum. He couldn’t beat those girls at Pain for Pride or, well, anyone of note for that matter all season long, so it’s no wonder he’s been desperately hyping up Andre and tryna stay relevant through him. I still don’t know why Andre’s other errand boy actually allowed him to be part of their little circle.
Chris Elite: I dunno man. It really is weird. But either way, he messed up when he came after me as some sad lil initiation for him to get accepted. He’s gonna learn that just because he’s associated with someone who has actual worth in this promotion doesn’t mean that he’s suddenly going to be a big deal or matter here. He’s a grade A bust, and he’s going to get busted upside his head once he and I meet inside that ring.
Joso: I like the sound of that! Plus, I doubt you’re gonna have troubles with him. He’s Ronan, after all. What’s the worst that he can do—
???: Since when was it a crime for someone to show their genuine appreciation for somebody else?
(Joso and Chris turn their heads, seeing Ronan Malosi walking over to them. The two men collectively groan out of annoyance, while Ronan looks absolutely offended. He straightens out his Andre Walker merch T-shirt, which Chris and Joso pick up on.)
Joso: Ah, HELL nah. You a whole-ass stan for this man!
Ronan Malosi: And? Wouldn’t you be if your were acknowledged by the one, true leader of this promotion? A guaranteed hall of famer? A living, breathing legend in the flesh? Let’s not pretend like you haven’t spent much of the year reminding people that you won that title that I made relevant off of him, even if you were still unable to actually pin the shoulders of the great Kaiser himself.
Joso: Well, duh? Of course imma brag about it seeing as how I was the one who still broke his record-setting reign—
Ronan Malosi: See? You admit it! Everyone wants to be great just like him, but many can’t, especially not the likes of you. Sure, you “won”, but what have you been able to do since then? Beat well-known jokes? Lose to Elitists who are better than you? See, my Kaiser would never find himself in that sort of slump. He’s already motivated as is after Pain for Pride, and I have no doubts that he will destroy Xander Payne tonight. That’s what makes him ahead of the pack here. He is above you, just like how he’s ahead of Limmy, Bronson, Jake, Kassidy and the rest here.
(Joso raises a brow, looking at Chris.)
Joso: Is this dude for real right now?!
Chris Elite: Yo, Rona, you cannot be for real. 💀
Ronan Malosi: Oh, I am real. I seem to be the only one that’s real, in fact, as I don’t need to hide from reality. The fact of the matter is that Andre Walker will always be the best, and you guys can be funny, call me a stan, call me an errand boy, but I am on the right side of history by taking his side and being his biggest supporter. If you two had any sense, you would follow suit. 👆
Chris Elite: Naaaaaaaaah. I’m good.
Joso: Same here. ‘Sides, why would I need to take his side when I ain’t even next to him? I’m above Andre if you really want to go there. Again, I’ve beaten him. It don’t matter if I pinned Ruler to become the champion, I STILL did it. I STILL handed your daddy a loss in the midst of his peak. So, I ain’t gonna turn around and start bowing for him as if he’s a god or something.
(Ronan scoffs.)
Ronan Malosi: You are just vile and disrespectful! Slandering Andre like that is not going to do you any favors. In fact, you were better off minding your own business. Don’t you have a match tonight, in fact?
Joso: I sure do, and unlike you, I’m not heading into a match that I’m obviously going to lose in!
Ronan Malosi: So, I’m the one here who is ‘doing tricks on it’ as the kids these day say, but you can talk up Chris, think he’s going to beat me easily, and can get away with it?
Joso: I sure can. Matter of fact, I can show you just how easy it is for someone to beat you right here, right now.
Ronan Malosi: :mjlol: Really? You think that you can get away with touching me? Andre isn’t going to take kindly to you attacking me!
Joso: Yet, do I care? No, I don’t! Because you’re nothing more than a punk that’s asking for it–
Chris Elite: Wait, chill! Don’t do it!
(Joso took a step forward by the time Chris intervened. He looks surprised, but then takes a deep breath, trying to mellow down.)
Joso: Yeah, you right. I shouldn’t be trying to fight some clown and turn this whole show into a circus.
Chris Elite: You got that right. And besides, imma kick his ass for the both of us anyways. You’d spoil the fun in that for me!
(Chris Elite smirks. Ronan doesn’t seem intimidated, though. He grins.)
Ronan Malosi: I’d like to see you try that. After all, I roughed you up pretty badly last week, didn’t I? But hey, I guess we’ll see if you’re capable of holding your own against me.If I had to guess though? You won’t be able to last long.
(Ronan presses out his shirt one more time. He looks down at it, seeing the face of Andre Walker, and sighs contently.)
Ronan Malosi: I’m definitely not going to lose when my Kaiser is watching me.
(He walks off, leaving Chris and Joso to look on in disbelief. The two of them look back at each other before shaking their heads.)
Joso: Bro really is obsessed with him. Like, he really wants him to be impressed so badly.
Chris Elite: Maaaaaaaan, Ronan is a whole-ass trip and a half. I got this, though.
Joso: Yeah, I believe you. Don’t hold back against that man.
(Joso and Chris slap hands before Elite walks off, getting ready in lieu of his upcoming match.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!!
(‘Mo Money’ by Ben McLusky would hit the speakers of the arena to an eruption of boos pouring down, as Ronan Malosi makes his way out onto the stage, looking as confident as ever before. He stretches his arms out into the air, taking in the reaction from the fans, as he makes his way down the ring; wearing an Andre Walker sleeveless tank top.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! Residing in… The Isle of Samoa… weighing in at 270 pounds, he is The ‘INTERNATIONAL TREASURE!!!!!!’ RONAN MALOSI!!!!!!!
Stew-O: This guy is certainly an interesting creature.
Flannery McCoy: :mjlol: From impregnating a woman who doesn’t even want his baby, losing his big match at Pain For Pride, being drafted to Friday Night Dynasty and now being watched by Albert Hitchman and Andre Walker, looking to impress them. You would indeed be correct by saying that Ronan sure is an interesting fella, but he knows to get the job done when it calls for it… besides PFP.
Jake Mercer: You two insulting him when he never did anything to either of you! And you know what? He’s in the right! He gets it, he understands it! He knows to acknowledge The Samoan Kaiser, and that is why I am rooting for him in tonight’s match! ☝️ ☝️
(Ronan makes it down to the ringside area, as he sees Albert Hitchman in the corner of his eye, and a huge smile grows. He nods his head, looking even more confident than he did at first, as he would make his way up the steps and steps into the ring… and he also has a microphone in his hand.)
Ronan Malosi: Ahem. RHOOOODEEEEEEE ISLANDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Ronan smiles.)
Ronan Malosi: You already know! ACKNOWLE-
(He would then be cut right off, as ‘Invincible’ by Pop Smoke hits the speakers, and the boos immediately drown out into a frenzy of cheers, and Chris Elite makes his way out onto the ring! Elite looks focused tonight, looking for revenge from the draft show as he makes his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! From Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 210 pounds, he is ‘GAWD GIVEN GREATNESS!!!!’ UNCLE CHRIS ELITE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Thank gawd.
Flannery McCoy: This is the first time in years that Chris Elite has been part of the Friday Night Dynasty brand, and I know that he is looking for revenge tonight. Ronan Malosi made an enemy out of him at the draft show, and now Chris Elite is going to look to shut him up.
(Chris Elite makes his way down to the ringside area, as he would jump up onto the apron, entering into the ring. Ronan hands the microphone off, as Elite backs into his corner, and his theme then fades out from there, and the referee calls for the bell to sound.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And this match is underway! Chris Elite has been waiting for this match for well over a week now; looking to get revenge on Ronan Malosi after he had blindsided him just last week at the draft show, AND IT LOOKS LIKE CHRIS ELITE IS NOT GOING TO WASTE ANYTIME, AS HE EXPLODES RIGHT OUT OF HIS CORNER AND HE RUSHES RIGHT IN AT RONAN MALSOI!!!
Flannery McCoy: But Ronan is quick to leave the ring; the referee holds Chris Elite back from going after him!
(Ronan drops down to the ringside floor with a shit eating grin on his face. He turns his head towards Albert Hitchman who is keeping a close eye on him, as the grin only grows larger and larger right now.)
Stew-O: Wait, is Ronan Malsoi…
Flannery McCoy: Is he really doing jumping jacks now? :comeagain:
Jake Mercer: It’s a great strategy! Ronan has to warm himself up a little bit more before he gets in there and proves himself to The Kaiser’s Wiseman himself! ☝️
(The referee started counting as Ronan was doing this, but Chris Elite wasn’t going to watch him play these games.)
Stew-O: WELL IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE CHRIS ELITE IS GOING TO WATCH THIS HAPPEN, AS HE SHOOTS HIMSELF OFF OF THE ROPES, BEFORE DIVING THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND HE ENDS UP TAKING RONAN MALOSI DOWN WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!! Ronan Malsoi falls hard back into the barricade, and now Elite is going to grab him by his shirt, and throws him back into the ring before he climbs back up onto the ring apron!
Flannery McCoy: Ronan stumbles back up to his feet, caught off guard as Chris Elite is stalking him from the apron, and then he springboards onto the ropes and right into the ring, BUT RONAN CATCHES HIM IN MIDAIR WITH A THROAT STRIKE! Elite immediately clutches at his throat from that shot, as Ronan is quick to drop into the cover, looking to get this over with right away here!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWW-
Jake Mercer: But Chris Elite kicks out right away! But Ronan Malsoi wasn’t going to have any of it, as he quickly pulls Chris back up to his feet, and Ronan pulls him right over into a side headlock hold! Elite is clearly struggling to get out of the side headlock, as Ronan looks back over towards Albert’s direction, giving him a look of asking approval for what he is doing. I think he is doing pretty well right now!
Stew-O: But it looks like Chris Elite is going to be quick in slipping himself out of Ronan’s grasp, before going around and grabbing Ronan by the waist, pulling him over into a waistlock! Ronan has the clear size advantage over Elite here, but Elite is a Hall Of Famer for a reason, and has proven himself against some of the very best, so Ronan is going to have to do way more to get a victory right here tonight.
Flannery McCoy: And it looks like Elite is trying to drop Ronan down to the mat, but it’s like you said Stew; Ronan has the size game over him, and he catches Chris with a stiff back elbow right to the jaw! This forces Elite to let go, as Ronan grabs him by the wrist, and irish whips him off into the ropes. Chris comes rebounding off of them, AND IS MET WITH BEING DRIVEN DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SHOULDER BLOCK BY RONAN!
Stew-O: Elite whiplashes hard off of the mat as Ronan has that overconfident smirk, before he runs off of the ropes again. But Chris Elite is quick to slip himself under Ronan, forcing Ronan to leap over Elite’s grounded body, before he runs off the opposite side of the ropes, AND CHRIS ELITE POPS RIGHT UP TO HIS FEET CATCHING RONAN SQUARE IN THE JAW WITH THAT PICTURE PERFECT DROPKICK! Ronan goes down to the mat as it’s Chris now going for the early cover!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWW-
Flannery McCoy: But now it’s Ronan who is able to get the quick kick out, as he throws Chris Elite right off of him! Elite stumbles back up to his feet, as Ronan starts to get up to a knee, but Elite rushes in and he looks for a huge running uppercut, but Ronan is able to grab a hold of him, and he throws him right over with a huge scoop powerslam, dropping Elite down hard into the mat!
Jake Mercer: And Ronan quickly transitions himself back over and on top of Chris Elite, pulling him into now a grounded side headlock, trapping Elite right into his grasp once more! And you can see that on the ringside area right next to us, Albert Hitchman is evaluating this match very closely. I hope Wiseman isn’t disappointed so far. Ronan has been doing a great job keeping Elite grounded!! ☝️
Stew-O: Chris Elite is struggling to get himself out of the side headlock right now, as it looks like Ronan is going to let go of him, getting him and Elite up to their feet, before he locks his wrist, IRISH WHIPPING CHRIS ELITE HARD INTO THE CORNER, AS ELITE’S SPINE MAKES CRUSHING IMPACT WITH THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! RONAN HAS AN OPEN OPPORTUNITY HERE, AS HE EXPLODES AT CHRIS ELITE FOR A HUGE CORNER CLOTHESLINE!
Flannery McCoy: BUT CHRIS ELITE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND SENDS RONAN CRASHING INTO THE CORNER INSTEAD! Ronan immediately clutches at his chest from the impact, stumbling out of the corner as Elite quickly shoots himself off of the ropes, with Ronan right onto the target as he launches himself off of his feet, AND HE CATCHES RONAN WITH THAT RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT, SENDING RONAN MALSOI INTO THE ROPES!
Jake Mercer: And Ronan bounces hard off of the ropes, giving Chris Elite the right momentum as he is quick to wrap his arms around Ronan’s waist, and he throws him over with a massive snap german suplex!! Ronan lands right on his head down to the mat, the impact sending him right back up to his knees, as Chris Elite is pushing through in this match, backing into the corner, AND HE EXPLODES AT RONAN FOR A SHINING WIZARD!
Stew-O: BUT RONAN IS QUICK TO STEP OVER TO THE SIDE, AS CHRIS ELITE HAS TO STOP HIMSELF RIGHT IN HIS TRACKS! He stumbles from the immediate stop as Ronan is quick to get back to his feet, grabbing a hold of Elite from behind as he lifts him into the air, AND RONAN MALOSI DROPS ELITE DOWN WITH A BACK SUPLEX SIDE SLAM!! Elite goes crashing into the mat, and Ronan is quick to get back to his feet, looking towards Albert once more for that nod of reassurance.
(Albert just nods his head, with his arms staying crossed.)
Flannery McCoy: And now Ronan picks Chris back up to his feet, and you can tell that Chris is hurting right now, and Ronan hits him with a massive forearm strike! This staggers Elite back, as he looks for another forearm strike… but Elite ducks under it, dashing off of the ropes, ONLY TO BE CAUGHT WITH A BIG BOOT SMACK TO THE FACE AS HE GOES BACK DOWN AGAIN!
Jake Mercer: Ronan is quick to pick Elite back to his feet, grabbing a hold of him once more, before he lifts him into the air, AND RONAN DROPS ELITE DOWN INTO THE MAT WITH A MASSIVE VERTICAL SUPLEX! Elite is down, and Ronan floats over on top of him, before he hooks the leg looking for the victory here!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Chris Elite once again manages the kickout, pushing Ronan Malosi back up into a seated position. Ronan just looks straight ahead, thinking of what to do next as he gets up onto all fours, hovering over Elite, before he drives his knee right into Elite’s side, taking the breath away from him once more! Elite lets out a cry of pain from that knee shot, and you can tell that he is clearly hurt from Ronan’s onslaught right now.
Flannery McCoy: And Ronan pulls himself back into position, BEFORE DRIVING HIS KNEE INTO ELITE’S SIDE ONCE AGAIN! Ronan is cutting the air away from Elite right now, taking full control of this match as Albert Hitchman is watching on, and he might be enjoying this. But, I can’t tell, he’s just standing there. Menacingly.
Jake Mercer: Well I would like to think that my precious Wiseman is enjoying seeing Ronan put the hurt on Bumis Elite. But again; anything that pleases the Kaiser! ☝️
Stew-O: Jake, please calm down for one moment. Anyways… Ronan Malosi gets back to his feet, and pulls Chris Elite up as well, before irish whipping him off of the ropes… AND ELITE REBOUNDS OFF THEM, JUMPING INTO THE AIR AND CATCHING RONAN WITH THAT FOREARM! ELITE EXPLODES WITH THAT FOREARM, BUT RONAN DOESN’T GO DOWN! ELITE RUNS OFF THE ROPES AGAIN, AND NOW HE GOES FOR ANOTHER FLYING FOREARM!
Flannery McCoy: Ronan catches Elite by his throat!! Elite falls to the mat on his feet as he is trapped by Ronan’s grip, AND RONAN PROPS ELITE OFF OF HIS FEET AND INTO THE AIR, AND HE LOOKS TO SLAM HIM DOWN WITH A CHOKESLAM BACKBREAKER, BUT ELITE GRABS RONAN BY HIS SHIRT COLLAR, HE PULLS HIM DOWN AND OVER, CATCHING HIM INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE PINFALL TO STEAL IT!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT RONAN KICKS OUT! Both men let go of each other, as they both get back to their feet, and Ronan closes the distance looking for a clothesline, only for Elite to duck under it! Ronan quickly turns back to facing Chris Elite… AND ELITE LOOKS FOR THE ‘BOX OFFICE SMASH!!!’ ELITE LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH THE SUPERKICK OUT OF NOWHERE ON RONAN TO END THIS MATCH HERE!
Stew-O: RONAN CATCHES CHRIS ELITE BY THE FOOT!! Elite is caught as Ronan backs up into the center of the ring, and Elite is trying to get out of Ronan’s grasp, but it doesn’t matter, and Ronan takes his foot, and flips him up into the air! BUT ELITE LANDS ON HIS FEET AND QUICKLY LEAPS BACK UP, NAILING RONAN IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH AN ENZIGURI KICK! BUT RONAN DOESN’T GO DOWN, AND ELITE SHOOTS A LOWER SUPERKICK TO RONAN’S KNEE CAP!
Flannery McCoy: But Ronan throws himself to the side avoiding it! AND HE KNOCKS CHRIS ELITE SILLY WITH A RIGHT HOOK TO THE JAW! Elite crumbles to the mat like jelly, as Ronan takes it all in, boos raining down.
(Ronan looks down at Chris Elite, before he looks back over at Albert Hitchman. He smirks, before backing into the corner, and getting into position..)
Jake Mercer: YES! YES! HE’S GOING FOR IT! HE’S GOING FOR IT! HE’S DOING IT!
Ronan Malosi: OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Albert Hitchman: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:
Stew-O: Chris Elite is slowly getting back up to his feet, and don’t tell me…
Flannery McCoy: He’s actually going for it… ain’t no way…!!!
Jake Mercer: YESSS!!! AND RONAN EXPLODES RIGHT OUT OF THE CORNER, RUNNING IN AT CHRIS ELITE FOR ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE!!!!’ IN HONOR OF THE KAISER! IN HONOR OF OUR GOAT! IN HONOR OF ANDRE WALKER!!!-
Stew-O: BUT IT DOESN’T HAPPEN, AS CHRIS ELITE LEAPS HIMSELF UP INTO THE AIR, AND HE WRAPS HIS LEGS AROUND RONAN BEFORE THROWING HIM WITH A HUGE FRANKENSTEINER!!! IT WASN’T MEANT TO BE AS RONAN MALOSI GETS SENT ABSOLUTELY FLYING ACROSS THE FREAKING RING FROM THAT MASSIVE FRANKENSTEINER BY CHRIS ELITE! Chris Elite stumbles right back up to his feet, and he has Ronan where he wants him right now!
Flannery McCoy: Ronan staggers back to his feet as Chris Elite stumbles into the ropes, and he has Ronan right in his sights!! Ronan gets up, and he turns around… AND CHRIS ELITE RUSHES IN AT HIM FOR THE JUMPING KNEE STRIKE!! CHRIS ELITE NAILS RONAN WITH ‘OPEN YA MATA!!!’
Jake Mercer: IT DOESN’T CONNECT, AS RONAN PULLS HIM INTO HIS ARMS, SPINNING HIM AROUND AND SLAMS HIM INTO THE MAT WITH ‘VERTIGO!!!’ THE SPINNING BACK SUPLEX CONNECTS, AS RONAN HOOKS THE LEG! CMON!!! DO IT FOR THE KAISER!! ☝️☝️
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: CHRIS ELITE KICKS OUT ONCE AGAIN!!
Flannery McCoy: And Ronan does not look happy about it one bit! He thought he had it won there, but Chris Elite managed to survive in this match, keeping it going with a huge kick out! Ronan pounds the mat in frustration, as he gets back up to his feet, grabbing Elite as well and I think he might be looking to put an end to this match this time!
Jake Mercer: Chris Elite looks completely out of it now, as Ronan Malosi pushes him back, locking his wrist, AND HE PULLS HIM RIGHT BACK IN, AND RONAN IS GOING TO END THIS MATCH RIGHT NOW WITH ‘DEATH-RO!!!’ RONAN PLANTS HIM INTO THE MAT WITH THE LIFTING SWINGING REVERSE STO!!!!!!
Stew-O: CHRIS ELITE FLOATS HIMSELF OUT OF IT AND LANDS ON HIS FEET! AND RONAN LOOKS TO REACT QUICKLY, BUT CHRIS ELITE DOESN’T ALLOW IT AS HE FLOATS OVER AGAIN, AND HE NAILS RONAN WITH THE ‘HEAD SHOT!!!’ THE PELE KICK HITS THE MARK, TAKING RONAN OFF OF HIS FEET AND DOWN INTO A SEATED POSITION! Elite has him down!
Flannery McCoy: Elite quickly stumbles back up to his feet, as Ronan is trying to get back up, but he isn’t quick enough as Chris shoots himself off of the ropes, BEFORE PLANTING HIMSELF DOWN ONTO RONAN WITH A METEORA!!! CHRIS ELITE QUICKLY ROLLS THROUGH IT ONCE MORE, BACK UP TO HIS FEET, HE AWAITS FOR RONAN TO GET BACK UP, BACKING INTO THE ROPES!!
Jake Mercer: Ronan isn’t going to like what is coming! Oh he is not going to like it! He is getting back to his feet! WATCH OUT RONAN! DON’T TURN AROUND! DO NOT TURN AROUND-
(But he does turn around.)
Stew-O: AND RONAN MALOSI WALKS RIGHT INTO ‘OPEN YA MATA!!!’ THE JUMPING KNEE STRIKE CONNECTS THIS TIME AROUND AS RONAN CRUMBLES BACK DOWN TO THE MAT, AND ELITE SHOOTS THE HALF LOOKING FOR THE WIN!!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT THIS MATCH IS NOT OVER, AS RONAN MALOSI GETS HIS SHOULDER OFF OF THE MAT JUST IN TIME BEFORE THE COUNT OF THREE!! Chris Elite does not look happy about it whatsoever, getting up to his feet and the referee reassures him that it was nothing more than a two count, and Elite looks frustrated!
Jake Mercer: :whew:! Look at the power that you are given when you choose to acknowledge The Samoan Kaiser! And with the Wiseman in his corner? Ronan Malosi got this match in the bag, Chris Elite better be ready to pack his bags for china!! ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ ☝️
Stew-O: Albert is only at ringside, not in Ronan’s corner.
Jake Mercer: Are you sure? Look at Ronan, and tell me that he’s not learning from the Wiseman and his such intelligent mind. Much like our Kaiser once did. 🥹
Flannery McCoy: Can we please focus back on the match…
Stew-O: I most definitely agree Flannery, especially considering if you look back at the ring; Chris Elite is setting up for the ‘Box Office Smash!!!’ Elite is standing in the corner, waiting for Ronan to get back to his feet, and he is going to get exactly that, as Ronan crawls back up to his feet, and he turns back into Chris Elite’s direction! INCOMING!!!
Flannery McCoy: AND CHRIS ELITE CLOSES THE DISTANCE IN WITH THE SUPERKICK!!! ‘BOX OFFICE SMASH’ HITS THE MARK; RONAN MALOSI!!!
Jake Mercer: WRONG!! HAHAHAHAH!!!! LOOK AT THE RING SMARTS BY RONAN, KNOWING WHERE HE WAS AT IN THE RING, AND THROWS HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE EXITING THE RING! CHRIS ELITE SHOT; CHRIS ELITE DID NOT SCORE!!! ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ ☝️ ☝️
(Ronan just laughs at Elite, looking towards Albert; clearly trying to get him to laugh with him. But, Albert does not laugh. He turns his attention back towards the ring.)
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) HEH! Well…
Stew-O: CHRIS ELITE GRABS A HOLD OF RONAN!! HE DOES NOT LOOK HAPPY, AS RONAN IS TRYING TO GET OUT OF ELITE’S GRASP, BUT ELITE PULLS HIM UP ONTO THE APRON AND INTO THE RING BY HIS SHIRT! Elite lets go of Ronan as Ronan stumbles away, and looks! Elite is ready! Ronan turns around-
Flannery McCoy: BOOOXXXX OFFFICEEEE SMASHHHHHH!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: SUPERMAN PUNCH! SUPERMAN PUNCH! RONAN CATCHES CHRIS ELITE WITH A SUPERMAN PUNCH!! MAUHAHAHA!!!!! ELITE’S DOWN, STUMBLING AROUND AS RONAN BACKS INTO THE CORNER! HE’S GOING TO DO IT! GO RONAN! YOU GOT THIS!
Ronan Malosi: OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHWAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (for real this time just trust me)
Stew-O: CHRIS ELITE TURNS AROUND… RIGHT INTO ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE!!!!’ THE SPEAR!!! THE SPEAR ACTUALLY CONNECTS, AND ALBERT HITCHMAN LOOKS SHOCKED!! RONAN HOOKS THE FAR LEG, HE’S ACTUALLY GOING TO WIN WITH ANDRE WALKER’S MOVES!!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT IT’S NOT OVER GUYS AS CHRIS ELITE BARELY KICKS OUT ONCE AGAIN!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Man.
Ronan Malosi: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/960246731675689070/1122681170455433266/image0.gif
(Albert Hitchman shakes his head in utter disappointment.)
Jake Mercer: I can’t believe this! This. This is impossible! How did he kick out?!
Stew-O: Well Jake, it’s because Ronan Malosi is Ronan Malosi.
Flannery McCoy: But guys, Ronan Malosi may actually have Chris Elite down and out despite the fact he kicked out, and it looks like he is going to take advantage of it, pulling Elite’s dead weight back up to his feet, and he is looking to put an end to this match!! HE PULLS HIM IN, AND LIFTS HIM BACK UP INTO THE AIR ONE MORE TIME FOR GOOD MEASURES!!!
Jake Mercer: AND RONAN MALOSI CONNECTS WITH ‘DEATH-RO!!!’ IT’S OVER-
Stew-O: HE FLOATS OUT OF IT AGAIN!! AND CHRIS ELITE NAILS ‘BOX OFFICE SMASH!!!’ IT’S OVER! IT’S OVER! THE SUPERKICK CONNECTS AND RONAN CRUMBLES TO THE MAT, AND CHRIS ELITE FLOATS INTO THE COVER, AND HOOKS THE LEG IN DEEP!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER; CHRIS ELITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: :mjcry:
(‘Invincible’ hits the speakers once again to an explosion of cheers, as Chris Elite pulls himself up into a seated position, he stretches out his jaw, cracking his neck from the match he just took part in as he gets back up to his feet. The referee raises his arm high into air in victory, as Ronan Malosi rolls out of the ring.)
Stew-O: Even with everything that we say about Ronan, it can’t be denied that he most definitely put up a fight here tonight, and in some parts of the match, almost had the Hall Of Famer beat for the count.
Flannery McCoy: But in the end, it just wasn’t enough, and Chris Elite was able to pull out with the victory, and get the well wanted revenge from the draft show. Congratulations to Chris Elite!
Jake Mercer: It’s a conspiracy!!
(Chris Elite continues to celebrate his victory in the center of the ring, as Ronan Malosi is seated on the ringside floor, disappointed. He looks up, watching as Albert Hitchman walks away and up the ramp. He gets back to his feet, and tries to follow behind as the camera would fade out from there.)
(The show goes through a swift transition backstage. The camera hones in on Myles, one of the biggest draft picks made for Dynasty. The fans offer a myriad of reactions as the former EAW World Champion is seen on screen, dressed down in unassuming, plain, black clothes. Hands on his hips, he takes a deep breath, gaze hovering slightly above as he seems to be contemplating something. After a while, he snaps back to reality and speaks.)
Myles: Well, I’ve been here for a good while, so it only made sense I made this my new home. It’s a territory that I am all but familiar with at this rate. When Limmy approached me after Fighting Spirit and offered to put the World Heavyweight Championship on the line, I took him up on it. After having a title I made great sacrifices for ripped away from me, I was furious. I came back after tending to myself and just when I thought that everything would culminate in me getting the chance to add to what I’ve been able to do with the EAW World Championship the first time around, I had what I worked hard for stripped from my bare hands. I never truly lost that title. I was set on chasing after the gold, reclaiming what was rightfully mine, what should’ve still been with me, and continue to have now at the peak of the competition here. I went after Limmy, because I was that determined to win. I didn’t care about the consequences and ramifications. For a couple of weeks, I was despised, vilified, slandered, and everything else in between, but I didn’t care. I wanted to hold gold again, and I sought out every possible route in order to try and get to it. However, it didn’t work out that way. I lost at Pain for Pride. Once more did I fall short, but this time, no one screwed me over. I never had a power-hungry chairman and his foolish, naive, sad excuse for a world champion come and ruin everything for me. In the end, despite my best efforts, Limmy edged ahead of me. He won, and I cannot take that away from him.
Myles: And the week after? I lost again. Bronson was able to win at the Draft Show. Given the high he has been on, he’s gone ahead and stepped up to Limmy, challenging him for that championship at Reckless Wiring. My pursuit has taken a back seat as someone else has stepped into the picture I tried to re-enter. And you know what? It’s fine. I have no qualms with it because I know well enough about the dynamics and everything like that. Bronson is looking to finish that metaphorical story, while Limmy seeks to continue his. However, for me? It doesn’t matter if those two will be holding that World Heavyweight Championship, because their story ends once it comes down to me.
(Myles gives an assured nod.)
Myles: I won’t be waiting for long. I never sought to bide my time and simply put my blind trust in some grandiose, imaginative ‘process’. I’m not missing out on getting another world championship, and I don’t care who may be holding it by the time I step up for it. It’s a new season, with new chances, new directions, and a brand, new clean slate for me to make use of. But, I want to make sure I don’t miss out on anything else. I don’t want to carry with me every little unsavory thing that plagued me last season. I want to be a champion again, I want to ensure that I am the absolute peak of this promotion, and I’m not going to relent. I won’t let anyone else get ahead of me and what I seek to accomplish here on Dynasty. Those two can have their fun, but I’ll be waiting and watching, eager to come one step closer to reclaiming a world championship. All the while, I plan on improving myself. I plan to elevate and be the best version of myself that I can be. No one will stop me. Not Bronson. Not Limmy. Not anybody else–
(Myles stops. His expression changes to one of confusion as some claps can be heard. He turns his head in the direction of the sound, and finds that Xander Payne and Ryan Wilson are there.)
Xander Payne: Well, well, well. If it isn’t my old partner who I brought into this company. You’ve seen better days.
Myles: The same could be said for you.
Xander Payne: You would be right. I guess that makes us even for once, doesn’t it?
(Myles doesn’t look amused. He folds his arms, debating whether or not he should even bother entertaining DOMINION. He sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose.)
Myles: Did you need anything, or are you going to waste my time?
Xander Payne: We just wanted to come by and see what’s going on, especially since we caught wind of what you were saying. Good stuff. Can definitely sense the passion in your voice. You got it too, right?
Ryan Joseph Wilson: I did! I can understand where you’re coming from, too. It’s all about renewal and trying to change for the better now that we’re entering a new season, and Xander and myself are looking to do the same thing.
(Myles takes a step back, putting his guard up, narrowing his eyes. Xander raises his hands.)
Xander Payne: Hey, no need to be so tense. We just overheard you talk, and as Ryan said, we know how you feel. We had highs and lows of our own last season, not to mention that we had to deal with an authority figure who stepped out of line. We’ve gone through similar situations. We can relate.
Myles: Okay, so you can relate. And? Is that supposed to impress me or something?
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Huh. Tough crowd tonight, huh?
Xander Payne: Oh, don’t worry, he’s always been this crabby, especially after a loss.
Myles: At least I was able to be in the main event of Pain for Pride whereas you were wasting away losing in yet another tag team title match with that clown by your side.
Ryan Joseph Wilson: What is up with you? Can’t we, you know, just hold a normal conversation instead of being aggressive?
Myles: I never asked to conversate with you. Besides, what is there for us to discuss? You don’t understand my plights. You especially cannot relate considering you never came close to being a world champion here.
(Ryan frowns.)
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Seriously, what is with you? Are you always like this to everyone else?
Myles: Only to those I don’t have time to waste on with idle chatter. I don’t spend it on people who want to relate yet aren’t even near my level to truly understand where I’m at from a mental standpoint. You are absolutely worthless.
Ryan Joseph Wilson: Look, I get it, you’re upset because you weren’t good enough to win two weeks in a row, but maybe take a chill pill or something.
(Ryan looks annoyed. However, Myles steps up, looking to close the distance between them.)
Myles: I am chill. I may not be a champion, I may have taken some losses, but I am still PEAK. I am still motivated as ever to win a championship, as in ACTUALLY win one. Something you’ve proven to be incapable of doing lately.
Ryn Joseph Wilson: You need to–
Xander Payne: Relax! Both of you!
(The two men stop their bickering, snapping their attention towards Xander stepping into the middle of them.)
Xander Payne: Look, we don’t need to do this. I never was trying to open back old wounds, Myles. Besides, that was years ago, wasn’t it? And we’re all about beginning anew, right? We don’t need to dig up past issues and go below the belt. At the end of the day, we’re both Wildcards for life, no matter what.
(Myles looks progressively confused. Ryan meanwhile steps back, clearing his throat, calming himself down.)
Ryan Joseph Wilson: The idea of evolving DOMINION is something Xander and I have been considering together, and when that idea came up, we figured you’d be in the conversation. The two of us have been screwed a lot in recent memory by authority figures. We’re looking for people to join our cause, genuine and talented people, so that we can be stronger. Everything that you’ve said has been perfect as well. We want to be the best that we can be this season together, and we figured there’d be no harm in swinging by and extending an invitation.
Myles: To…gether?
Xander Payne: Look, it’s been years now since things imploded between us. However, we think it may be good for us to team up.
(Myles’ eyes widen.)
Myles: What? Us?
Xander Payne: Of course. Like I said, we’re always going to be connected to each other in some way, shape, or form. We’re both looking to make some serious changes so that we can make some strides this season. Not to mention that we still have what it takes to win titles. We’re determined and focused, so, it only makes sense that we join forces.
Myles: …
Ryan Joseph Wilson: You don’t have to answer immediately. We don’t want to pressure you or anything like that. However, the offer is out there, and it’s there for you to take it up. We’re on the same show now, so it isn’t like you have to scramble. Just… think about it. And maybe lose the attitude too while you’re at it.
(Myles looks absolutely dumbfounded. However, before he can say anything, Xander and Ryan take their leave. The camera focuses on the flabbergasted expression of Myles as Dynasty fades elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘Trophies’ by Drake plays to a mixed reaction from fans, some in the corner of Joso, some in the corner of Hans, but regardless, that doesn’t stop Joso from oozing confidence as he heads down to the ring, focused ahead of his match.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! Hailing out of Bronx, New York, weighing in at 206 pounds…HE IS THE NEW ERA…JOSO!!
Stew-O: I am glad that Tyrone managed to snag up Joso for season 17, because he is a prospect for any brand he goes to.
Jake Mercer: He’s commonly regarded online as one of the rising stars in Elite Answers Wrestling, and after his performance at Pain for Pride, that following has only grown.
Flannery McCoy: But at Pain for Pride, he did lose. However, can turn that wrong into a right by defeating Hans Grayson.
(Joso paces back and forth in the ring, eyeing the stage area, and awaiting the arrival of his opponent, Hans, who doesn’t make him wait long as The Leaving Song Pt. II – AFI plays. Hans exits the curtain, fired up ahead of his match, and hoists the New Breed Championship high before marching down to the ring.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! Hailing out of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, weighing in at 219 pounds…HE IS THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION…FIRE HEART…HANS GRAYSON!!
Stew-O: Defeating Hans would be huge for Joso, as defeating the current New Breed Champion is a great way to start off the season.
Flannery McCoy: It’d certainly place Joso in the title picture, but I don’t think Hans is going to let that happen easily.
Stew-O: No, Hans is going to fight Joso with everything he has tonight, so he can ensure leaving the match victorious.
(Both competitors stare one another down from opposing corners as the referee signals the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And we are underway! Joso taking on Hans Grayson in what’s bound to be a highly entertaining bout between both men, who close the distance between one another, and lock up in the center of the ring. A jockey for position takes place, both competitors struggling to outmuscle the other, but it’s Joso who gets the advantage over Hans Grayson, backing him up against the corner. The referee intervenes, telling Joso to back off, giving him the count of five.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Flannery McCoy: Nearing the count of five, Joso finally chooses to break the collar and elbow tie-up, BUT SHOVES HANS GRAYSON IN THE CORNER! Joso backs away, and you can see that Hans is a little annoyed with the disrespect shown, but I think that’s what Joso wants, to get in the head of his opponent early. Regardless, Hans manages to shake it off, and circles Joso for a second time.
Jake Mercer: Both men lock up in the center, and another jockey for position takes place, but this time, its Hans Grayson that gets the upper hand, backing Joso into the corner, and keeps his forearm pressed up against Joso’s face. Similar to earlier, the referee gets involved, giving Hans til the count of five.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Stew-O: And similar to Joso, Hans wait til the last minute before breaking the collar and elbow, and backing away from Joso, creating some separation between the two. Both competitors lock eyes before circling one another a third time, and it appears as if we’re going to get another collar and elbow tie-up! But Joso manages to fake out Hans, and slips behind him for a rear waistlock.
Flannery McCoy: Standing switch by Grayson, who has Joso in a rear waistlock of his own, albeit momentarily, because there’s a standing switch by Joso, who flips the script on Hans, placing him back inside the rear waistlock. Hans reaches between his legs, and grabs the ankle of Joso, pulling it out from under him, and tripping Joso down to the canvas. Hans turns around, still keeping grasp on that ankle, BUT JOSO USES BOTH FEET TO SHOVE HIM AWAY!
Stew-O: Both competitors scramble back to their feet, and enter a stalemate as they lock eyes with one another. Neither man has been able to get that clear cut advantage over the other, and after some circling takes place, Joso locks up with Grayson for a third time. Hans gets the upper hand early with an arm wringer, and presses his boot down on the back of Joso’s knee, bringing him down to a kneel.
Jake Mercer: Hans bars Joso’s arm, but Joso powers back to a vertical base, and whips Hans off the ropes to escape! HANS REBOUNDS BACK INTO AN ARM DRAG BY JOSO! HANS RISES BACK TO HIS FEET, AND FULL STEAM AHEAD TOWARDS JOSO- BUT GETS CAUGHT WITH ANOTHER ARM DRAG!
Flannery McCoy: Hans gets to a knee, but Joso pulls him up to his feet, leaning Hans up against the ropes for an irish whip! BUT HANS COUNTERS BY WRINGING THE ARM OF JOSO, AND PULLING HIM IN FOR A STANDING SIDE HEADLOCK! Hans has Joso trapped in the center of the ring with that headlock, and forces him down to a knee, continuing to tighten the hold.
Stew-O: Joso powers back to his feet, bringing Hans along with him, and loosens Grayson’s grip with a forearm smash to the rib cage! Followed by another! Then another! Joso bounces Hans off the ropes to escape, and leapfrogs over him as he comes rebounding back! HANS STOPS HIMSELF SHORT FROM REBOUNDING OFF THE ROPES A SECOND TIME, AND CATCHES JOSO WITH A CLOTHESLINE AS HE TURNT AROUND!
Flannery McCoy: Joso sits up, looking to shake the cobwebs out of his head, but gets stood up by Hans, who knocks him back into the corner with a KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST! Hans whips Joso to the opposite corner, AND CHARGES IN FOR ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP! JOSO GETS SNAPMARED DOWN TO THE CANVAS, LEAVING HIM IN A SEATED POSITION, AND HANS RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR A FRONT DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF JOSO’S FACE! Hans drags Joso away from the ropes, and makes the cover, hooking the leg!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOO-
Stew-O: Not even a two count before Joso manages to kick out! Hans isn’t getting frustrated though, and stays on top of Joso, lifting him back to his feet for a knife edge chop! Joso gets knocked into the corner as a result, and Hans looks to close the distance- BUT WANDERS RIGHT INTO A KNIFE EDGE CHOP BY JOSO! Hans spins around, favoring his chest. Joso looks to turn him back around- BUT HANS CATCHES HIM OFF GUARD WITH AN ELBOW SMASH, KNOCKING JOSO BACK INTO THE CORNER AGAIN!
Jake Mercer: But still, Joso shows signs of life, catching Hans with a kick to the midsection as he came wandering in! HANS STAGGERS SLIGHTLY, BUT KEEPS JOSO PINNED IN THAT CORNER WITH ANOTHER ELBOW STRIKE! Irish whip to the opposite corner by Hans- countered by Joso, sending Hans to the corner instead! JOSO CHARGES IN- BUT HANS GETS HIS BOOT UP, TURNING JOSO AROUND, AND CAUSING HIM TO STAGGER AWAY SLIGHTLY!
Stew-O: HANS HOPS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, LINING JOSO UP FOR A DIVE! BUT JOSO RUSHES IN, LOOKING TO TAKE CONTROL! HOWEVER, HANS LEAPS OVER HIM, LANDING ON HIS FEET, AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES! JOSO COMES OUT OF THE CORNER, AND CATCHES HANS WITH A DROPKICK!
Flannery McCoy: Hans crawls toward the corner, and picks himself up in it with assistance from the ropes, but Joso is in hot pursuit. EUROPEAN UPPERCUT BY JOSO, JACKING THE JAW OF HANS GRAYSON! But Joso isn’t done, AND NAILS HIM WITH ANOTHER! Hans is doubled over in that corner, and Joso grabs a handful of hair, directing Hans to the center for a SNAP suplex!
Stew-O: But Joso doesn’t go for the cover, deciding to sit up, and trash talk a bit. Hans is still downed, and Joso lifts him up to a vertical base. BUT HANS BREAKS FREE FROM JOSO’S CLUTCHES, AND CATCHES HIM WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP! ELBOW SMASH BY HANS FOLLOWS IT UP! ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP! BUT JOSO BATTLES BACK WITH A PAIR OF FOREARMS!
Jake Mercer: KNIFE EDGE CHOP BY HANS! BUT JOSO FIRES BACK WITH A FOREARM! HARD FOREARM BY HANS, WHICH STUNS JOSO LONG ENOUGH FOR AN IRISH WHIP TOWARD THE ROPES! BACK ELBOW BY HANS, WHO STANDS JOSO UP FOR AN IRISH WHIP TO THE CORNER! JOSO COUNTERS, AND SENDS HANS TO THE CORNER INSTEAD! JOSO RUNS IN!
Stew-O: BUT GETS SENT UP AND OVER HANS’ SHOULDER TO THE OUTSI- WAIT! JOSO CATCHES HIMSELF ON THE APRON! HANS SPINS AROUND, AND GOES FOR A RIGHT HAND, BUT ITS BLOCKED BY JOSO, WHO RETURNS WITH A RIGHT HAND OF HIS OWN! HANS GETS GRABBED IN POSITION FOR A SUPLEX, AND JOSO GOES TO SUPLEX HIM UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Jake Mercer: IF THIS CONNECTS, THOSE TWO WILL SPLAT ON THE OUTSIDE!
Flannery McCoy: HANS GETS HOISTED UP FOR THE SUPLEX, BUT FINDS HIMSELF ON THE APRON! JOSO DELIVERS A KICK TO HANS’ MIDSECTION, AND PULLS HIM IN FOR HEAVENS GATE! HE WANTS TO PACKAGE PILEDRIVE HANS ON THE APRON, BUT HANS BLOCKS IT, AND SHOVES JOSO BACK FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST! Hans rolls back inside the ring, and goes to suplex Joso back inside as well.
Stew-O: BUT JOSO COUNTERS WITH A HOTSHOT, DROPPING HANS THROAT FIRST ACROSS THE TOP ROPE! HANS STAGGERS BACK AGAINST THE ROPES, AND REBOUNDS OFF FOR A SUICIDE DIVE ONTO JOSO! Both competitors are down, and the referee begins counting.
Jake Mercer: Hopefully, they can make it back into the ring in time, as no one wants to see this end in a count out. Could you imagine the Twitter outrage?!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT!
Flannery McCoy: MIRACULOUSLY, BOTH COMPETITORS ROLL BACK INTO THE RING AT THE COUNT OF EIGHT, AND HANS CLOTHESLINES JOSO UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE, SENDING HIM BACK TO THE OUTSIDE! HANS RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR ANOTHER SUICIDE DIVE ONTO JOSO! JOSO GETS QUICKLY ROLLED BACK INTO THE RING BY HANS, AND RUNNING OFF INSTINCT, RISES BACK TO HIS BACK!
Stew-O: HANS ROLLS BACK INSIDE THE RING, AND NAILS JOSO WITH REPEATED FOREARMS STRIKES TO THE FACE! JOSO IS ON WOBBLY LEGS, AND HANS RUNS OFF THE ROPES- BICYCLE KICK BY JOSO! HOWEVER, HANS IS STILL STANDING, ALBEIT BARELY! JOSO RUNS OFF THE ROPES, BUT HANS RUNS OFF THAT SAME SET OF ROPES! JOSO TURNS AROUND IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND GETS CAUGHT WITH A HURRICANRANA BY HANS!
Flannery McCoy: Joso pulls himself up in the corner, AND HANS CHARGES IN WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE, BUT DOESNT STOP THERE, AND KEEPS UP WITH A BARRAGE OF CLOTHESLINES IN THE CORNER BEFORE ROLLING JOSO THROUGH TO HIS FEET IN THE CENTER! HANS EXITS THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND OUT TO THE APRON, LINING JOSO UP, WAITING FOR HIM TO TURN AROUND-
Jake Mercer: SPRINGBOARD MISSILE DROPKICK! HANS CRAWLS INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Stew-O: The referee can only muster a two count as Joso kicks out! Hans pulls Joso up, and gets him in position for a powerbomb, BUT CANT HOIST JOSO UP AS HE BLOCKS IT, DROPPING DOWN TO A KNEE! HANS UNLOADS WITH CLUBBING BLOWS TO THE BACK OF JOSO, AND PLACES HIM BACK IN POSITION FOR THE POWERBOMB! BUT STILL CANT HOIST JOSO UP, AS THE MAN WHO DONT MISS CONTINUES BLOCKING IT!
Flannery McCoy: JOSO TWIRLS OUT OF IT, AND GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE ON HANS! BUT HANS TRAPS THE ARM FOR A HAMMERLOCK LARIAT, WHICH HE CALLS HEAT TWIST! JOSO DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND SLIPS BEHIND HANS FOR INCOMING SILENCE! BLUE THUNDER BOMB CONNECTS, AND JOSO HOLDS IT FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR-
Stew-O: SHOULDER UP! HANS GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Hans rolls away from Joso, and Joso takes time to catch his breath, along with conjure up a new game plan in his head possibly. Hans pulls himself up in the corner, and Jsoo pulls himself up in the opposite. JOSO CHARGES IN WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT ON HANS, WHO HE BRINGS TO THE CENTER OF THE RING FOR A STYLES CLASH! BUT HANS COUNTERS CRIMSON PEAK WITH A BACK BODY DROP!
Jake Mercer: JOSO WANTS A SUNSET FLIP, BUT HANS SITS DOWN ON HIS CHEST, AND HOOKS BOTH LEGS FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: JOSO SHIFTS THE MOMENTUM, PINNING HANS’ SHOULDERS DOWN WITH THE SUNSET FLIP!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: HANS ROLLS THROUGH TO HIS FEET, AND STACKS UP JOSO FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: NO! HANS ROLLS JOSO THROUGH TO HIS FEET, AND CATCHES HIM WITH A FLAMING PUNCH! SUPERMAN PUNCH DROPS JOSO! HANS FALLS INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE-
Stew-O: JOSO GETS THE SHOULDER UP, STAYING IN THIS THING! Hans pounds the mat in frustration, but quickly gets his head back in the game, realizing that he haa to stay on top of Joso, who is currently pulling himself up in the corner. Hans hobbles over, and connects with a right hand on Joso!
Flannery McCoy: Joso gets lifted to the top rope, and Hans connects with another right before attempting to climb up to the middle rope, but Joso staggers him back with a right! HANS THOUGH! HANS LEAPS TO THE TOP ROPE, SHOWING SOME CATLIKE AGILITY, AND GOES FOR AN AVALANCHE HURRICANRANA!
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO SLIPS OUT BETWEEN THE LEGS OF HANS, AND GRABS HOLD OF HIS ANKLE, PULLING IT OUT FROM UNDERNEATH GRAYSON, WHO CRASHES FACE FIRST ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! HANS STAGGERS BACK, AND GETS CAUGHT WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! JOSO HANGS ON, AND PULLS HANS BACK TO A VERTICAL BASE, GOING FOR ANOTHER BLUE THUNDER BOMB!
Stew-O: BUT INCOMING SILENCE IS AVOIDED AS HANS CATCHES JOSO WITH A VICTORY ROLL!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHH-
Stew-O: KICKOUT! BOTH COMPETITORS SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND HANS GOES FOR A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE ON JOSO! BUT JOSO SIDE STEPS, AND PULLS HANS IN BY THE BAND OF HIS TIGHTS FOR A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! HANS ROLLS THROUGH TO A KNEE, AND JOSO PULLS HIM IN FOR A STYLES CLASH! CRIMSON PEAK CONNECTS, AND JOSO ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS SHOULDERS FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE-
Flannery McCoy: HANS GRAYSON STAYS IN IT! Joso rolls out to the apron, and stalks Hans, who is sprawled on the canvas right now, struggling to break free from his daze after being on the receiving end of Crimson Peak.
Jake Mercer: I think Joso has some springboard in mind, but-
Flannery McCoy: RONAN MALOSI! RONAN MALOSI RIPS JOSO OFF THE APRON IN POSITION FOR A POWERBOMB, AND ALLEY OOPS HIM INTO THE RINGPOST!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND AS EXPECTED, THE MATCH HAS BEEN THROWN OUT!
(The crowd pours down with boos on Ronan Malosi, who smugly smirks on response, approaching a downed Joso, who is sprawled on the outside.)
Stew-O: JOSO COLLIDED FACE FIRST WITH THAT RINGPOST, AND MIGHT NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION! BUT RONAN MALOSI IS FAR FROM THROUGH WITH HIM!
Flannery McCoy: YOU GOT TO THINK, THIS HAS TO BE A RESULT OF THEIR INTERACTION EARLIER!
Jake Mercer: THIS IS STARTING TO BECOME A THEME WITH RONAN MALOSI, BLINDSIDING PEOPLE DURING OR AFTER THEIR MATCHES! HE DID IT TO CHRIS ELITE AT THE DRAFT, NOW HES DOING IT TO JOSO!
Flannery McCoy: AND HANS HAS NO IDEA AS HES STILL REELING FROM THAT CRIMSON PEAK, ALONG WITH THE FACT THAT THESE TWO WERE COMPETING IN SUCH A BACK AND FORTH CONTEST, THE EXHAUSTION HAS TO BE HITTING HIM AT THE MOMENT!
Stew-O: JOSO IS LIMP, BUT RONAN PULLS HIM UP BY THE ARM, AND PLANTS HIM ON THE OUTSIDE WITH A DEATH-RO! JOSO GOT PLANTED WITH THE DEATH-RO, AND RONAN MALOSI IS PROUD OF HIS HANDIWORK!
(The referee exits the ring, and yells at Ronan to leave. Having finished his business with Joso, Ronan begins backpedaling up the ramp, a smile on his face.)
Flannery McCoy: Well, Ronan is smiling now, but he won’t be smiling after Joso wakes up.
Stew-O: Yeah, you just know that Joso will not take this lying down, and will get his retribution over Malosi.
Jake Mercer: But for right now, Ronan is the one laughing.
(Ronan poses on the ramp area, spreading his arms wide, as the referee checks on an unresponsive Joso. Meanwhile, Hans Grayson realizes what happened, and looks at Malosi with a mix of anger and annoyance at ruining his match as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(Dynasty faded back in from commercial and immediately went to the ringside area. The lights were dimmed and there was a small spotlight shining on Stephie Love.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… PLEASE WELCOME TALIB BARI!!!!
(The reaction from the crowd was a nice one. REVOLT fans knew Talib as one of the masterminds behind the promotion, and of course, everyone knew him from the various episodes of ‘Cloth Talk’ he had hosted over the years.)
(The spotlight went out on Stephie and the lights inside the arena flickered on. Talib was standing in the center of the ring dressed in a gold velour tracksuit and dripping with diamond jewelry. The ‘Cloth Talk’ set was done entirely in gold as well. The ropes were gold, the chairs were gold thrones trimmed with gold velvet cushions, and of course they sat on a gold fur rug that had been placed inside the ring. Interestingly enough, Talib’s guests for the evening were in the ring as well and this really hyped up the fans.)
Talib Bari: DAMN Y’ALL! IT FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK! I haven’t been this excited since ‘Everyone’s Favorite Girlfriend’ Kassidy Heart tried to seduce your boy for a title shot!
Crowd: :mjlol:
(Stood to Talib’s left was Bronson Daniels. Sitting in one of the thrones to Talib’s right was the EAW World Heavyweight Champion, Limmy Monaghan. Both men were dressed in street clothes as neither were in action and of course Limmy had accessorized his ensemble with the World Heavyweight Championship itself.)
(Talib was actively encouraging the crowd to get loud and they obliged. For a good, solid minute they cheered their hearts out and stomped their feet. Talib even pointed to champ and challenger, weighing the crowd’s reaction to each. It was just a pretty cool scene and something the two men inside the ring were enjoying. Finally, Talib settled everyone down and started to speak.)
(His microphone was also golden.)
Talib Bari: Iight. So it’s been a minute since your boy was around to host an episode of ‘Cloth Talk’ but I’ve been in demand. People all across the world have been begging to see Talib Bari.. in the flesh, and I can’t really blame ‘em. I’m a global superstar, fighting the good fight, and spreading the gospel as only I can. But when my man Tyrone called me up and asked me to come here tonight and host the first official sit-down between World Heavyweight Champ, Limmy Monaghan, and his Reckless Wiring challenger, Bronson Daniels… I wasn’t about to turn that shit down!
(This drew another huge reaction from the crowd, who had been hyped since the Draft Show. They were absolutely salivating over the thought of two of Dynasty’s best going head to head for the World Heavyweight Championship. Inside the ring, both Limmy and Bronson smirked at one another. They felt the energy as well.)
Talib Bari: I think it’s fair to say that the two of you have certainly come into your own as Elitists and have passionate fan bases. This match absolutely has the potential to set an insanely high bar for the rest of EAW to follow as we move forward into Season 17!
(There was no doubt in anyone’s mind that Talib’s words were accurate. That’s why a match between Limmy and Bronson was so tantalizing to the EAW Universe. With a Cheshire cat-like grin on his face, Talib rubbed his hands together.)
Talib Bari: Y’all even want to go as far as saying that Limmy Monaghan versus Bronson Daniels is a dream match, that this is a hell of a main event for the first Dynasty Marquee Live Event of the season! I see y’all hyping this up on social media!
(The audience can’t help but pop for this because Talib is right. This match has been talked about on social media all week and rightfully so considering the two men involved in it. Limmy had been a dominant champion and Bronson was a fan favorite. It’s the match everyone seemed to want and they were finally going to get.)
Talib Bari: I would be remiss if I didn’t echo those sentiments because these two right here are two of the very best in this business today! BUT… I also gotta keep it real with y’all, and believe me, I mean no disrespect but Bronson. Do you really think you’re gunna be a match for the man who’s arguably the best world champion in EAW right now?
Crowd: OOOOOHHHHH!
(A smirk crossed Bronson’s face and he twirled the microphone he held before lifting it to his mouth.)
Bronson Daniels: I feel like I’m a match for anyone right now, Talib. I’m coming off arguably the biggest win of my career at Pain for Pride. I followed that up last week by winning my match at the Draft Show. I KNOW that I’ll be able to handle whatever Limmy has in store for me come Reckless Wiring.
(Talib nodded his head, but there was still a look of skepticism on his face.)
Talib Bari: Right. Right. So let’s talk about Pain for Pride since you wanna say that was the biggest win of your life. Both of y’all had impressive matches, actually. That can not be denied. Lord Lim over there went through hell and back against a very impressive Myles and you, my guy, took on your longtime rival, Andre Walker :wow:.
(As always, the mere mention of Andre Walker’s name drew a polarizing reaction from the crowd. This was not lost on anyone inside of the ring.)
Talib Bari: Now Bronson, no cap. You talked a lot of shit last week about erasing an asterisk from your record when it comes to Andre Walker, but what asterisk did you really erase? The argument could be made that had Andre not sacrificed himself for Hitch, the match could have gone a lot differently.
Bronson Daniels: :usure:?? I had Andre beat right in the middle of the ring and Hitch got himself involved. If you ask me, I was always destined to win that match no matter what because it’s my time. I have paid my dues, over and over again in fact. I have done everything I can to grow and rise above, and I’ve done so with a smile on my face.
Talib Bari: Be that as it may…you still have a bit of a reputation if you know what I’m sayin’.
Bronson Daniels: :francis:
Talib Bari: Am I lying though? Your struggles in the moments that matter the most are documented and archived forever for the world to view. You can very well argue that you were on the cusp of beating Andre at Pain for Pride on your own accord but we don’t know that for sure, for sure. You can’t make any other argument no matter how hard you try. The ghost of Albert Hitchman will forever hang over that match, casting a shadow of doubt.
Bronson Daniels: I gotta stop you there, man. There is no doubt in my mind.
Talib Bari: Maybe so, but it do be facts that you crack under the pressure.
(As Talib and Bronson bantered with one another, Limmy had remained seated, stoic in his expression. It was unclear what was going through his mind at that time, but he seemed content to just let those two go back and forth.)
Bronson Daniels: I’m not going to stand here and act like I’ve never gone through any sort of struggle. My entire life has been a struggle but I’ve managed to turn it around into a true success story. No matter what I’ve gone through here in Elite Answers Wrestling, I’ve continued to push myself, sometimes past my breaking point. I believe in myself and I know I’ve got what it takes to become the World Heavyweight Champion, and if for whatever reason people like you, Talib, continue to have doubts about me, they WILL BE put to rest at Reckless Wiring.
(Talib raised an eyebrow and looked over at the champ.)
Talib Bari: You got something to say in response to that, Lim?
(A thoughtful look crossed Limmy’s face but he remained seated.)
Limmy Monaghan: I can’t blame Bronson for feeling confident because regardless of how you view his victory at Pain for Pride, he still won the match. I can count the number of people who’ve actually managed to defeat Andre on one hand. It’s a short, impressive list, and I’m not going to take anything away from him. But…
Talib Bari: :drakelike: There’s always a ‘but’!
Limmy Monaghan: But I’m not going to take anything away from myself either. I HAVE been the most dominant world champion in EAW, and you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who’s had a world title reign like mine recently. I’ve defeated Hall of Famers. I’ve defeated future greats. I’ve beaten the best in the business today. I have zero doubts about my ability to continue defending the World Heavyweight Championship.
(Limmy looked past Talib and turned his full attention to Bronson. For a moment, the two men simply stared at one another, but it wasn’t long before Limmy started to talk again.)
Limmy Monaghan: I have no doubt that you believe you’re ready to seize this moment. In your mind, you no doubt envision Reckless Wiring as your chance to fulfill your dream. I respect you and I hope that one day you do achieve world champion status, but it’s not going to come at my expense. Honestly, I don’t have any reason to believe you have what it takes to beat me. The list of names I’ve already defended my championship against is no doubt prestigious, and as good as you are Bronson, and as excited as I am for this match, you have yet to cement your name amongst the all-time greats.
Talib Bari: True that. :troll:
(Bronson looked at Talib and rolled his eyes.)
Bronson Daniels: I’m not even shocked you want to think that and assume I’m not going to have what it takes. As much love as these fans have for me and I for them, I’m sure they’re looking at me as the underdog in this match. It’s a role I’ve grown accustomed to over the years because I get it. I’m not one of the biggest names here. I haven’t come up in those conversations…yet. I just know I’m not your typical EAW poster boy. I’m not someone who’s typically on the posters or the marketing materials. I don’t have the same kinda rep as all the impact players around here. But I KNOW that I’m good enough to become World Heavyweight Champion, and more than that, I KNOW I can be the one who dethrones you.
(It was then that Limmy got to his feet. Bronson had never sat down. The two of them just looked at one another, almost as if they were having a conversation with their eyes. Bronson had more to say and Limmy motioned for him to continue.)
Bronson Daniels: I won’t stand here and say that I’m Scott Diamond or Cameron Ella Ava. I won’t act like I’m Myles. Maybe my name isn’t spoken with as much admiration as Joso’s, but you know what? I don’t care. I’ve had to fight like hell to get here and yeah, I’ve had setbacks. So what if my career is full of near-misses? All I need is one more chance and I’ll get what I have my heart set on. That’s why I came to the ring. That’s why I answered your challenge last week. You may have beaten everyone there is to beat, but you haven’t beaten me.
Limmy Monaghan: I’ll give you that, Bronson. I haven’t defeated you during my reign, but what’s stopping me? You may have the desire and the heart to truly believe that you’re able to get the job done, but I have every bit of that instilled inside of me as well. If I can go through what I did at Pain for Pride, then I’m sure I’ll be able to handle the challenge you present as well. Whether you want to believe it or not, you’re going to be another person who goes down on my list of successful championship defenses. There’s no shame in that either, and you know that. I get that right now you’re riding a high, but reality is going to set in sooner or later. I don’t believe you’re as confident as you’re portraying yourself to be right now because as Talib pointed out, your history is what it is.
(This brought a frown to Bronson’s face but Limmy held up his hand.)
Limmy Monaghan: I’m not going to remind you of all the matches you’ve lost. You could very well do the same thing to me. I’ve been in your shoes before, Bronson. I’ve lost my fair share of big matches and it takes a toll. I don’t care who you are, you’re going to have insecurities. You’re going to have doubts. I was in the same exact boat going into last year’s Elimination Chamber. I know I sounded confident but until you actually win the big one, there will still be doubt. It doesn’t make you less of an athlete and I’m certainly not going to look down on you for it, but deep down, I know you’re questioning yourself. I know you’re wondering if you have what it takes. Winning against Andre is great. Following it up with your win at the Draft Show is fantastic. But at Reckless Wiring, you’re going to be facing the best opponent you’ve ever stepped into the ring with. I represent the champion you want to be and I have the belt you have been working for years to try and obtain. Are you going to be able to handle the pressure that comes with that?
Bronson Daniels: Yup.
(There was no hesitation on the challenger’s part and that drew a big reaction from the crowd. In spite of himself, Limmy actually smiled.)
Limmy Monaghan: I guess time will tell.
Talib Bari: Yo. Speaking of this match…
(Champ and challenger turned their attention towards Talib.)
Talib Bari: There’s another factor both of you haven’t considered.
Limmy Monaghan: And what’s that?
Talib Bari: It’s Reckless Wiring! Y’all know what that means, right??
(The knowledgeable fans certainly did. A huge pop reverberated throughout the building.)
Talib Bari: THE EAW UNIVERSE GETS TO PICK THE STIP!
(The cheers only got louder. Limmy nodded his head, and Bronson grinned. Neither one seemed to mind this.)
Talib Bari: As of now, we don’t have the foggiest clue of what the fans will be able to vote on, but surely the unknown factor of this adds some intrigue!
Bronson Daniels: You’d think that, but at this point, I don’t care what match I end up in. The end goal is going to be the same. I’m going to win and walk away as the new World Heavyweight Champion. I’ve got a ton of experience under my belt when it comes to specialty matches and whatnot. I mean hell. These fans have seen me compete in some crazy shit and walk away as a winner.
Limmy Monaghan: The same could be said for me.
Bronson Daniels: Of course and you know something, Limmy? I’m starting to get the impression you want me to be intimidated by the occasion.
Limmy Monaghan: So you think that me comparing our respective journeys and relating to the situation you’re currently in is some kind of mind game? :francis: You should know me better than that. I don’t want you to be intimidated by the situation, Bronson. In fact, I would prefer to face you at your very best and most confident. I don’t want to win the match and have you say later your nerves got the better of you. All that would do is cheapen my victory. I’ve busted my ass for years to get to where I’m at right now. You’re not the only person with struggles and a story.
Bronson Daniels: You’ve struggled?
(Bronson seemed a little surprised that Limmy would try and play that card with him.)
Bronson Daniels: You’ve had setbacks, and I’ll give you that. But you’ve been winning championships here from the very beginning.
(That comment stopped Limmy from immediately replying. Bronson had a point, but Limmy was about to make a better one.)
Limmy Monaghan: If you want to look at entire careers, then look at yours. The world championship has eluded you, but it’s not as if you’ve never won a championship before. You’ve held titles, Bronson. You’ve been in plenty of main events. Maybe if you hadn’t been gone for so long, you’d have a lot more to your name.
(Bronson took a deep breath and the crowd got quiet. He cracked a smile at Limmy, but it was definitely strained.)
Bronson Daniels: Point well made. Either way, my time is now. You can talk all you want about my nerves, whatever insecurities you think I might have, and you can even bring up my numerous failures. But when Reckless Wiring comes around, I’m going to be ready, Limmy. I’ve been waiting for a one-on-one opportunity at the World Heavyweight Championship for a while and now that it’s happening, I can’t waste it. I won’t waste it. It’s been a long time since you’ve had to fight your way to the top and after Reckless Wiring, you’re going to find yourself getting reacquainted with that.
(Limmy looked at the World Heavyweight Championship, which was resting on his shoulder. He made it a point to adjust it, knowing Bronson was keeping his eyes on it.)
Limmy Monaghan: Even if you manage to beat me at Reckless Wiring, I won’t find myself scratching and clawing my way back to the top. I have done nothing but elevate this championship since it landed in my hands. I’ve been a hell of a champion. I’m a Triple Crown winner. I’ve made a name for myself that won’t ever be erased. The name ‘Limmy Monaghan’ means something in EAW and that can never be taken from me. You need this win more than I do, but just like every other time, Reckless Wiring will end in heartbreak for you. You can only pick up the pieces so many times before you break for good, but I certainly don’t want to break you, Bronson. I just wanted to beat you.
Bronson Daniels: As the fans on social media say, it’s time for me to finish the story.
Talib Bari: Damn, man. How many stories you got??
Limmy Bronson: :mjlol:
Bronson Daniels: :cmon:
Talib Bari: I’m just sayin’.
Bronson Daniels: You may have earned the right to start Season 17 as the World Heavyweight Champion, but at Reckless Wiring, your dream run with that belt comes to an end. I have nothing but respect for you, Limmy, but your time at the top is done.
(With that, Bronson lowered his microphone, having said all he wanted. Limmy merely shrugged. There would be more opportunities to speak and for now, he was content to let Bronson have this moment. If things went the champ’s way, this would be the only moments Bronson would get because Limmy wasn’t ready to relinquish the championship.)
(As Bronson’s music played, the challenger left the ring. Through Hell or high water, he was going to make sure things finally started to go his way. The fans continued to cheer for Bronson as he headed up the ring, and he didn’t bother looking back at Limmy or Talib, who were still in the ring.)
(As Bronson disappeared backstage, the scene faded out and headed into a commercial break.)
(Commercial for Dick Eat University starring Ronan Malosi. If you are in need of a career reboot, knock your girlfriend up and attach yourself to a much bigger name than you could ever be!)
(The camera returns to the ring where Stephie Love has a microphone in hand and is ready to start the introductions for the final match of the evening.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is our MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Leaving Caladan’ by Hans Zimmer starts to play as Andre Walker enters the arena. Following closely behind is Albert Hitchman as the crowd starts booing the duo. Andre calmly gazes out into the crowd as they head to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! Being accompanied by Albert Hitchman! He is from the Isle of Samoa. Weighing in at 245 pounds! Here is “THE KAISER” ANDRE WALKER!
Stew-O: The one and only Kaiser of EAW is here on Dynasty for singles action. Remember that Andre is a free agent. He can go to any brand he damn well pleases to compete. Tonight, Dynasty gets the honor of an appearance from Andre Walker.
Flannery McCoy: This man has accomplished so much in his career. Former World Champion. Former Interwire Champion. Longest reigning New Breed Champion in EAW history. Even though he lost to Bronson Daniels at Pain for Pride, Andre will no doubt rebound from that.
Jake Mercer: There’s also no doubt that Andre Walker is a future Hall of Famer, but his opponent is a current Hall of Famer and no matter how awesome our amazing Kaiser is, he needs to be careful.
(Andre enters the ring as Albert takes his place at ringside and Andre’s music fades off. After about a moment of silence, “It Follows” by Cane Hill starts to play as Xander Payne enters the arena with his DOMINION teammate Ryan Joseph Wilson following close behind. The crowd is cheering for this team as they head right to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing his opponent! Being accompanied by Ryan Joseph Wilson and representing DOMINION! From Toronto, Canada! Weighing 255 pounds! Here is “THE BEST WRESTLER IN THE WORLD” XANDER PAYNE!
Jake Mercer: You know it’s so weird to hear people cheering Xander Payne. Tonight, Xander makes his return to Dynasty and what an unfortunate task for Xander. He has to fight Andre right out of the gate.
Flannery McCoy: Now don’t count Xander Payne out. He isn’t a former World Champion by luck or anything like that. Xander Payne is a very skilled wrestler and knows the tricks of a veteran.
Stew-O: DOMINION didn’t win at Pain for Pride and the status of the team was in jeopardy before the Draft. Now we know the team is still together on Dynasty. Will Xander get DOMINION’s momentum started off on the right foot with a huge victory over Andre Walker? We are about to find out.
(Xander enters the ring and Ryan takes his place at ringside as Xander takes his corner as his music fades off. The referee checks both competitors before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go. We are underway with the first Dynasty main event of Season 17. Andre and Xander one on one. This could be the main event of any FPV event. This is going to be good.
Jake Mercer: Xander and Andre lock up and Andre gets the early advantage with a side headlock over Xander, but Xander with an elbow to the side to get free and Xander counters with a hammerlock
Stew-O: But Andre manages to reach back and grab Xander AND SNAPMARE XANDER OVER HIS SHOULDER, BUT SOMEHOW XANDER LANDS ON HIS FEET! XANDER AND ANDRE BOTH HIT THE ROPES–
Flannery McCoy: THEY BOTH WENT FOR SHOULDER TACKLES AND NEITHER MAN GOES DOWN! WE HAVE A STALEMATE, but the veteran instinct of Xander Payne catches Andre off guard with a forearm to the face.
Stew-O: Xander throwing those forearms that takes Andre back to the ropes. Xander with the Irish Whip, BUT ANDRE COUNTERS AND SENDS XANDER FOR THE RIDE! Xander comes back and ANDRE GOES FOR A BACK BODY DROP–
Flannery McCoy: BUT XANDER HOLDS ONTO ANDRE AND ROLLS OFF HIS BACK AND QUICKLY ROLLS UP ANDRE FROM BEHIND! That certainly caught him off guard.
Jake Mercer: But as soon as the referee drops down to count, Andre rolls through and gets back to his feet quickly enough TO KICK XANDER RIGHT IN THE RIBS WITH THAT SOCCER STYLE PUNT!
Flannery McCoy: Andre is out for blood tonight as we see Albert Hitchman looking pleased with that move. On the other side of the ring, Ryan is cheering Xander on and trying to get him back into things.
Jake Mercer: Cheer all you want because it’s only a matter of time before Andre has Xander reaching the point of no return. Like right now. Xander is holding his ribs after that shot, BUT THAT DOESN’T STOP ANDRE FROM KICKING HIM AGAIN! THAT’S HOW THE KAISER TAKES CARE OF BUSINESS!
Stew-O: Oh will you stop? You sound almost as bad as Ronan Malosi. It’s almost nauseating. But Andre does have the advantage. He is very methodical when it comes to his matches as he delivers the boots to Xander.
Jake Mercer: Xander manages to roll himself to the ropes in the hopes of a regroup. But we know Andre will not let that happen. Andre pulls Xander back to the center of the ring. Andre has Xander in a slingshot position, BUT HE INSTEAD DROPS HIS ELBOW RIGHT INTO XANDER’S GUT!
Stew-O: That elbow looked really low, but the referee doesn’t say anything and this match continues. Andre sits Xander up in a snapmare position as he DELIVERS A PUNCH RIGHT TO THE SPINE! WHAT A SHOT!
Flannery McCoy: THAT SHOT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT HAVE NUMBED XANDER’S BODY FOR A SECOND BECAUSE HE ISN’T MOVING. Now Andre decides to hit the ropes and HE DELIVERS A DROPKICK TO THE SPINE NOW!
Stew-O: Xander falls over holding his back in pain but Andre brings him back up to his feet and sends him right into the corner. Xander hits the corner and Andre is coming in for a shoulder tackle–
Flannery McCoy: XANDER WITH A DROPKICK TO THE ANKLE THAT SWEEPS ANDRE’S LEG OUT FROM UNDER HIM AND ANDRE GOES FACE FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE!
Jake Mercer: Nice counter by Xander and Xander takes a handful of the Kaiser’s hair and throws the back of his head into the top turnbuckle. Xander brings his hand back AND CHOPS HIM RIGHT ACROSS THE CHEST! OH MY GOSH!
Flannery McCoy: That was a very loud chop that probably hurt Ronan Malosi in the locker room but Xander brings him back AND CHOPS HIM AGAIN! AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! MACHINE GUN KNIFE EDGE CHOPS BY XANDER PAYNE AS THE REFEREE STARTS THE COUNT!
Jake Mercer: It’s about time the referee started the count. The referee reaches four and Xander stops the chops. Look what he did to Andre. He probably broke a few blood vessels in his chest.
Stew-O: You can kiss and make it better after the show but XANDER FIRES A STIFF FOREARM TO ANDRE WALKER’S JAW! Nice shot by Xander as he pulls Andre out of the corner and lifts him up for a suplex–
Jake Mercer: BUT ANDRE FIRES OFF REPEATED ELBOWS TO XANDER’S COLLARBONE AND THAT FORCES XANDER TO LET GO! NOW ANDRE FIRES OFF A HEADBUTT THAT ROCKS XANDER AND SENDS HIM BACK INTO THE CORNER!
Stew-O: Andre backs up to build some momentum AND HE RUNS FULL SPEED INTO THE CORNER AND DELIVERS A BIG BOOT RIGHT INTO XANDER’S FACE! RIGHT ON THE MONEY!
Flannery McCoy: LOOK AT THIS! THE FORCE OF THE BIG BOOT SENDS XANDER PAYNE OFF OF HIS FEET, OVER THE TOP ROPE, AND HE CRASHES ONTO THE FLOOR! I CAN ADMIT THAT A SHOT LIKE THAT IS FITTING OF THE REPUTATION THAT ANDRE HAS EARNED IN THE RING!
Stew-O: Not only that, upon looking at the reply, Xander Payne’s face actually crashed on the top of the ring steps when he landed outside the ring. I’m surprised we couldn’t hear the thud on impact.
Flannery McCoy: Xander Payne is somehow still conscious and coherent after that landing and he is slowly climbing back to his feet. The referee runs out to double check on Xander, but slides back into the ring and starts the count after seeing that Xander is alright.
Jake Mercer: Xander is using the ring skirt to bring him back to his feet because he still might be a little loopy after that shot, but it might be spelling a much worse doom as Andre eyes Xander as Xander makes it back to his feet–
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE HIT THE ROPES AND COMES BACK AT FULL SPEED BEFORE ANDRE DELIVERS A RUNNING DIVE RIGHT OVER THE TOP ROPE THAT SENDS XANDER CRASHING BACK DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!
Jake Mercer: AIR KAISER IS IN THE HOUSE! Did you see how Andre completely cleared the top rope and crashed onto Xander. Prime athleticism on display right now as Andre Walker has control of this match.
Stew-O: Xander has been on the ropes for most of this match and things are going to look dire if he can’t get things going. Right now, this match is all Andre Walker at the moment.
Jake Mercer: Naturally, but right now Andre picks Xander back up as the referee continues the count. Andre is looking to whip Xander back into the steps–
Stew-O: XANDER OUT OF NOWHERE GRABS ANDRE’S LEG AND HITS A DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP TAKE SENDS ANDRE OFF BALANCE AND HE IS THE ONE THAT GOES FACE FIRST INTO THE RING STEPS! ANDRE GOT A MOUTHFUL OF STEEL THERE!
Flannery McCoy: Andre could have lost a few teeth right there or something, but the referee is at eight as Xander rolls into the ring and rolls back out to break the count.
Stew-O: Andre is on his knees holding his jaw and mouth to make sure nothing is broken as Xander picks up Andre by the hair and rolls him back into the ring.
Flannery McCoy: Xander is back into the ring as he positions Andre’s head under the bottom rope and he grabs Andre’s legs. Xander could be looking for a slingshot AS HE FALLS BACK AND CATCHES ANDRE’S THROAT RIGHT ON THAT BOTTOM ROPE!
Jake Mercer: THAT WASN’T A SLINGSHOT! THAT WAS A DECAPITATOR FROM XANDER PAYNE! ANDRE’S THROAT WAS CAUGHT BETWEEN THE ROPES AND THE POINT OF XANDER’S BOOT TO CAUSE EVEN MORE DAMAGE!
Flannery McCoy: Most people would attempt a cover at this point, but the veteran instinct of Xander Payne helps him realize that it wouldn’t finish the match right there. Instead he is going to stay on the attack.
Jake Mercer: Xander realizes that he needs to strike hard and strike fast because if Andre gets a chance to breathe, things could be dire for Xander.
Stew-O: Right now Xander pulls Andre into the center of the ring and rolls him onto his back BEFORE CHOPPING ANDRE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS BACK! THAT HAS TO STING A LITTLE!
Jake Mercer: He needs to lay off all of those chops, but Xander does pull Andre back to his feet before going behind Andre for a German Suplex, BUT ANDRE FIRES OFF AN ELBOW THAT CATCHES XANDER IN THE NOSE!
Stew-O: That shot has Xander’s eyes watering and he lets the waistlock go. The referee checks to see if Xander’s nose is bleeding. It isn’t, but the delay leads to Andre Walker grabbing Xander Payne and planting him with the Belly to Belly suplex.
Flannery McCoy: Xander driven right into the canvas and Andre has control of the match once more. Andre wants back in the World Title picture and it’s only a matter of time before he is back as Number One Contender.
Stew-O: Andre brings Xander back to his feet as he whips Xander to the ropes. This time he doesn’t run in. This time he slowly follows behind AND HE STARTS THROWING ALL THESE POWERFUL BODY PUNCHES!
Flannery McCoy: NOT ONLY ARE THEY POWERFUL, THEY ARE FAST! XANDER IS BLOCKING WHATEVER HE CAN, BUT MOST OF ANDRE’S PUNCHES ARE FINDING THEIR MARK!
Jake Mercer: The referee is starting a count for Andre to let Xander out of the corner. He stops on four, but as soon as he stops HE DELIVERS A HEADBUTT RIGHT TO THE MIDDLE OF XANDER’S FOREHEAD! I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF XANDER IS OUT ON HIS FEET AT THE MOMENT!
Flannery McCoy: Xander falls back and rests on the top turnbuckle as Andre throws a PUSH KICK TO XANDER’S CHEST BEFORE PULLING ANDRE PULLS HIM IN AND FINISHES THE COMBINATION WITH A CLOTHESLINE THAT CATCHES XANDER UNDER THE CHIN!
Jake Mercer: Andre is taking no prisoners and leaving nothing to chance in this match. Andre grabs Xander’s arm AND WRAPS HIS LEGS AROUND HIS WAIST! ANDRE LOCKS XANDER IN A KIMURA LOCK!
Stew-O: SUBMISSION MOVE RIGHT HERE AND THE REFEREE IS ASKING XANDER TO SEE IF HE WANTS TO GIVE IT UP! Of course we know Xander is going to tap out as long as he can continue fighting.
Jake Mercer: Look at ringside. Ryan is trying to do whatever he can to will Xander on so he can continue this match. On the opposite side, we have Albert Hitchman with a very pleased look on his face as he watches his client continue to do damage to Xander Payne.
Stew-O: Xander is in the middle of the ring so he can’t grab the ropes. He needs to think of something or he is going to have to give this match in order to fight another day.
Flannery McCoy: I THINK HE HAS! XANDER FINDS HIS FOOTING AS HE STACKS ANDRE UP AND HIS SHOULDERS ARE DOWN ON THE CANVAS! WE HAVE A COVER RIGHT HERE!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEE-
Stew-O: ANDRE KICKS OUT AT TWO AND THAT FORCES ANDRE TO RELEASE THE KIMURA LOCK! It’s hard to believe that this was the very first pin attempt of the match. This shows how strategic these two are when it comes to their wrestling.
Flannery McCoy: It’s almost like a game of chess between these two as Xander backs away for a moment to shake away some of the damage that the Kimura Lock caused. Who knows how much damage his arm has at the moment.
Jake Mercer: Like it matters. When Andre starts picking apart and dissecting an opponent’s body, it’s the beginning of the end. Xander Payne is backing himself into a corner and here comes the Kaiser looking to cause more damage to Xander Payne.
Flannery McCoy: BUT HERE COMES XANDER PAYNE WITH A DROP TOE HOLD THAT SENDS ANDRE WALKER FACE FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Andre comes staggering back out of the corner–
Jake Mercer: AND XANDER WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND ANDRE’S WAIST AND PLANTS HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX AND ANDRE WAS DROPPED RIGHT ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! THAT WAS A DANGEROUS LANDING!
Stew-O: I think we can now see that Xander’s arm still has plenty of fight left for him to use. Andre was knocked for a loop with that suplex and Xander picks up Andre back to his feet and Xander whips him to the turnbuckle.
Jake Mercer: The Kaiser hits the corner AND XANDER FOLLOWS CLOSELY BEHIND WITH A SPLASH THAT SQUASHES ANDRE AND SENDS HIM SITTING IN THE CORNER!
Stew-O: Andre is down and Xander backs away from the corner BEFORE RUNNING FULL SPEED BACK TO THE CORNER! XANDER WITH A SOMERSAULT AND XANDER CRASHES INTO ANDRE WITH THE HEATWAVE!
Flannery McCoy: CANNONBALL BY XANDER PAYNE AND ANDRE HAD HIS HANDS DOWN SO HE COULDN’T BLOCK THE MOVE! ANDRE CAUGHT THE CANNONBALL IN THE FACE!
Stew-O: ANDRE COULD BE OUT AT THE MOMENT AS XANDER ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET AND PULLS ANDRE OUT OF THE CORNER BACK TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHRRRREEEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE WALKER KICKS OUT, BUT BOY THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE RIGHT THERE! XANDER COULD HAVE HAD THE MATCH RIGHT THERE, BUT THE KAISER STILL HAS THE ENERGY TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT!
Jake Mercer: I could hear it from here, but Albert let out a breath he had been holding when Xander made the cover, but the relief is apparent in his eyes after Andre kicked out.
Flannery McCoy: Xander is playing any games as he brings Andre back up to his feet and has Andre in a powerbomb position. Xander lifts Andre up in the air, but it isn’t for a powerbomb!
Jake Mercer: ANDRE’S LEGS ARE UP IN THE AIR! XANDER IS LOOKING FOR A SPIKE PILEDRIVER! XANDER COULD BREAK ANDRE’S NECK WITH THAT PILEDRIVER IF HE HITS IT! THIS IS A DANGEROUS MOVE!
Stew-O: I don’t think that Xander wants to break Andre’s neck, BUT ANDRE IS FIGHTING OUT OF IT! ANDRE IS BACK ON HIS FEET AND HE LIFTS XANDER IN THE AIR!
Jake Mercer: LOOK AT THE POWER ONCE AGAIN FROM THE KAISER! ANDRE GETS XANDER PAYNE ON HIS SHOULDERS AND GETS XANDER IN POSITION BEFORE DROPPING DOWN AND PLANTING XANDER WITH A SAMOAN DROP FROM ANDRE WALKER!
Stew-O: Nice counter from Andre Walker as he grabs Xander by the waist and LIFTS HIM UP FROM THE MAT! XANDER IS UP IN THE AIR AGAIN AND THIS TIME ANDRE DROPS HIM ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH THE GERMAN SUPLEX! THIS TIME ANDRE BRIDGES UP FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: XANDER ROLLS THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO! I don’t know about anybody else, but this has been an amazing match so far between two of the best in EAW today.
Stew-O: Xander is still in this match as Andre is calling for Xander to get back to his feet. I think Andre is done playing around. He is getting to strictly business. He is looking for the win right here and now.
Flannery McCoy: Xander might be in a mess of trouble as he slowly gets back to his feet and Andre is laser focused on Xander.
Jake Mercer: This has got to be it. Xander Payne is back up and he turns right around into a waiting Andre WHO JUMPS IN THE AIR LOOKING FOR HIS PATENTED SUPERMAN PUNCH-
Flannery McCoy: XANDER GETS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND, BUT ANDRE HITS THE ROPES AND COMES BACK WITH EVEN MORE MOMENTUM AS XANDER TURNS AROUND AND GETS CAUGHT WITH THE SUPERMAN PUNCH IN THE JAW!
Jake Mercer: That is what makes the Kaiser so dangerous. Xander is somehow still on his feet which is remarkable in that fact, but that doesn’t amuse Andre as he hits the ropes one more time. ANOTHER SUPERMAN PUNCH HAS BEEN ORDERED UP-
Stew-O: BUT XANDER SAW IT COMING THIS TIME AROUND AND WAS READY FOR IT SO HE COUNTERS THE SUPERMAN PUNCH WITH A PALM STRIKE TO THE JAW!
Jake Mercer: OVERDOSE BY XANDER PAYNE, BUT ANDRE WALKER IS STILL STANDING! XANDER PAYNE NOW FIRES OFF A SUPERKICK THAT CATCHES ANDRE IN THE JAW ONCE AGAIN! BUT THE KAISER IS STILL ON HIS FEET! Remarkable will to win by the Kaiser.
Stew-O: Xander goes in for another attack, BUT ANDRE GETS HIS WITS ABOUT HIM ENOUGH TO TAKE XANDER DOWN WITH ANOTHER BIG BOOT, BUT XANDER REACHES DEEP INTO HIS BAG OF TRICKS AND AVOIDS THE BOOT WITH A CARTWHEEL! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME WE SAW THAT?
Flannery McCoy: I don’t remember, but it was certainly a treat to witness tonight on Dynasty as Andre Walker turns around AND HE GETS ANOTHER SUPERKICK TO THE JAW FOR HIS TROUBLE!
Stew-O: NOW ANDRE FALLS, BUT XANDER IS RIGHT THERE TO CATCH HIM! Not as a friend, but to lock up his head and to lift him up to the top rope. Xander doesn’t waste a second AS HE SNAPS BACK AND SPIKES ANDRE ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH THAT DDT FROM THE TOP!
Flannery McCoy: SCARBOROUGH HEIGHTS BY XANDER PAYNE AND ANDRE IS NOT MOVING! THAT IS SHOCKING TO SEE! Andre is face down on the canvas as Xander drags him to the middle of the ring AND HE APPLIES A CROSSFACE TO ANDRE!
Jake Mercer: NOT A SUBMISSION! NOT NOW! XANDER IS WRENCHING BACK ON ANDRE’S HEAD AND NECK AND THE REFEREE IS RIGHT THERE TO SEE IF ANDRE WILL DO SOMETHING HE RARELY DOES AND SUBMIT!
Flannery McCoy: VERY FEW HAVE BEATEN THE KAISER, BUT EVEN FEWER HAVE MADE ANDRE SUBMIT! Now that I think about it, and please don’t quote me on this, but I don’t think that ANYBODY has had the honor of making Andre Walker tap out.
Jake Mercer: Xander Payne could be on his way to making history on the first night of Season 17 of Dynasty, BUT ANDRE IS STILL FIGHTING! THIS MATCH ISN’T OVER YET! NOT BY A LONGSHOT!
Stew-O: XANDER IS TRYING TO SHIFT HIS WEIGHT ENOUGH TO PUT MORE TORQUE ON THAT CROSSFACE SUBMISSION, BUT IT ISN’T WORKING! ANDRE IS STARTING TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET AND HE IS BRINGING XANDER UP WITH HIM!
Jake Mercer: Xander is strong and powerful, but Andre is possibly in a league of his own as he is now on his knees AND NOW ANDRE TAKES A DEEP BREATH AND GETS RIGHT BACK TO HIS FEET WITH THE CROSSFACE STILL APPLIED!
Stew-O: ANDRE MANAGES TO SWING XANDER AND ADJUST HIS POSITION AS HE TRIES FOR A SAMOAN DROP, BUT XANDER LETS THE MOVE GO AND SLIDES DOWN ANDRE’S BACK AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SUNSET FLIP–
Flannery McCoy: BUT ANDRE ROLLS THROUGH AND BOTH MEN ARE BACK TO THEIR FEET! XANDER IS JUST A LITTLE BIT QUICKER TO THE PUNCH–
Stew-O: AND XANDER PAYNE WITH ANOTHER SUPERKICK TO THE JAW! WHAT A SHOT! THIS COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF THE END AS XANDER TAKES ANDRE BY THE ARM AND WHIPS HIM TO THE ROPES!
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE COMES BACK AND XANDER LIFTS HIM UP IN THE AIR FOR HIS POP UP POWERBOMB! LAST SEDATION ON THE WAY FROM XANDER PAYNE! WILL IT BE ENOUGH TO KEEP ANDRE DOWN?
Jake Mercer: BUT ANDRE MANAGES TO ESCAPE THE LAST SEDATION AND LANDS ON HIS FEET BEHIND XANDER BEFORE HITTING THE ROPES! XANDER TURNS AROUND AS ANDRE COMES BACK AND CATCHES XANDER WITH A SECOND SUPERMAN PUNCH!
Flannery McCoy: ANOTHER SUPERMAN PUNCH TO THE JAW KNOCKS XANDER PAYNE FOR A LOOP AND HE FALLS TO THE MAT! NOW ANDRE CROUCHES IN THE CORNER ONCE MORE AND HE IS WANTING TO PUT AN EXCLAMATION POINT ON THIS MATCH! XANDER BETTER BE CAREFUL!
Jake Mercer: XANDER SLOWLY GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AFTER THAT SUPERMAN PUNCH! XANDER TURNS AROUND AND HE TURNS RIGHT INTO THE HUNGER ON HILLSIDE! ONE OF THE BEST SPEARS IN THE BUSINESS! ANDRE WALKER GOT IT THIS TIME!
Stew-O: XANDER AVOIDED THE SPEAR ON THE FIRST TRY, BUT HE COULDN’T THE SECOND TIME! XANDER ALMOST SPLIT IN HALF AS ANDRE SHOOTS THE HALF FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRREEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Leaving Caladan’ starts playing again as Andre rolls off of Xander to the crowd’s boos before Stephie Love announces the final decision.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… ANDRE WALKER!!
Stew-O: What a great match as the first main event of the new Season. Two former World Champions battled it out with one pinning another.
Jake Mercer: Like there was any doubt that this wouldn’t be the result. The Kaiser is in full force as he picks up the win in tonight’s main event.
(The referee goes to raise Andre’s arm in victory before Albert Hitchman forces the referee away and does the honor. The referee goes back to check on Xander Payne along with Ryan Joseph Wilson who rolled into the ring.)
Flannery McCoy: Stop being so biased! Xander Payne put up a hell of a fight and almost picked up the victory. It just wasn’t meant to be. But we give our… WAIT A SECOND!
(Andre is celebrating his victory in the ring as the boos from the crowd change to loud cheers.)
Stew-O: What is going on? HOLD ON! CHRIS ELITE IS HERE! CHRIS ELITE JUST ROLLED INTO THE RING AND HE ATTACKS ANDRE WALKER FROM BEHIND AND NOW THESE TWO ARE BRAWLING IN THE MIDDLE OF RING!
Jake Mercer: DOMINION have hightailed it out of the ring as Elite and Walker are just beating the tar out of each other in the middle of the ring while the referee and Albert are trying to break these two up.
(The crowd in the background is just chanting to LET THEM FIGHT as Chris and Andre continue to pummel each other.)
Flannery McCoy: The fists are still flying as it looks like Chris Elite has got the advantage over Andre Walker and he looks like he is gearing up for Andre to experience the BOX OFFICE SMASH, BUT LOOK WHO IS COMING DOWN THE RAMP!
(The camera cuts to the entrance ramp where Ronan Malosi is running down to help Andre to more boos from the crowd.)
Stew-O: HERE COMES ANDRE WALKER’S NUMBER ONE FAN, RONAN MALOSI DOWN TO THE RING! OBVIOUSLY TO HELP ANDRE WALKER OUT!
Jake Mercer: I’m not sure if Albert or Andre for that matter even want him out here in the first place, but he is about to pay dividends as he slides into the ring behind Chris Elite and DELIVERS A LOW BLOW TO CHRIS ELITE!
Flannery McCoy: CHRIS DROPS DOWN LIKE A TON OF BRICKS AFTER BEING HIT BELOW THE BELT! NOW ANDRE AND ALBERT SEE RONAN AND LOOK AT THIS MORON RONAN BOUNCING AROUND AND CELEBRATING LIKE HE WON A WORLD TITLE OR SOMETHING! HOW PATHETIC CAN SOMEONE BE!
Stew-O: Look at Andre and Albert. Neither of them look too pleased that Ronan made his way out. I think it would be safe to say that they would have preferred him to stay in the back.
Jake Mercer: But that isn’t stopping The Kaiser from taking advantage of a man while he’s down and putting the boots to him. Ronan is cheering the Kaiser on while he demolishes Chris Elite.
(The crowd starts to cheer once again as they see Joso run down to the ring.)
Flannery McCoy: He might not be cheering for long AS HERE COMES JOSO OUT FOR SOME REVENGE! HE GOES STRAIGHT FOR THE KAISER SIMP RONAN MALOSI AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK KNOCKING RONAN OFF HIS FEET!
Stew-O: Ronan attacked Joso earlier tonight and now Joso wants to make Ronan pay for that mistake. Ronan manages to get free from Joso as Andre is still beating Chris down, BUT JOSO WITH A FLYING CLOTHESLINE THAT TAKES BOTH MEN OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR!
Jake Mercer: But that isn’t stopping them from fighting. LOOK AT THEM GO! They are fighting their way up the ramp and all the way to the back. That leaves Andre and Chris Elite in the ring.
Flannery McCoy: Chris is slowly moving as Andre crouches in the corner looking to put the exclamation point on this beatdown!
Jake Mercer: ONE HUNGER ON HILLSIDE! COMING UP FOR CHRIS ELITE! CHRIS IS SLOWLY GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET AND ANDRE IS ABOUT TO STRIKE—
(Before Andre could execute his spear. A mystery person wearing a hoodie comes from out of nowhere and enters the ring.)
Stew-O: LOOK AT THIS! SOMEBODY JUST SLID IN THE RING AND JUST SUPERKICKED ANDRE WALKER RIGHT IN THE FACE! ANDRE SLIDES OUT OF THE RING TO A WAITING ALBERT HITCHMAN! WHO IS THIS PERSON?
Jake Mercer: Everybody else would like to know who it is as well. Chris sees the mystery person and is on his guard. Who knows who it could be?
(The person turns to Chris Elite before pulling down the hood and revealing who it is.)
Flannery McCoy: WELL LOOK WHO IT IS…
Stew-O: IT’S JAKE SMITH! THE FORMER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION AND THE FORMER TAG TEAM CHAMPION ALONGSIDE CHRIS ELITE AS PART OF THE HAIRCARE KINGS! JAKE IS HELPING CHRIS ELITE!
Jake Mercer: WHY? The last time these two were together, they were fighting each other.
(Jake starts to get a smile on his face as he holds out his hand before Chris Elite slowly reciprocates as they shake hands before embracing and looking out to the entrance ramp to start taunting Andre and Albert.)
Flannery McCoy: Looks like these partners have made up at least for the time being.
Stew-O: Interesting development we have going on. Andre defeats Xander, but it’s the help of Jake Smith that leads to Chris Elite standing tall in the ring. We would love to keep going, but we are almost out of time. I am Stew-O and alongside Flannery McCoy and Jake Mercer, we hope you enjoyed Friday Night Dynasty. Goodnight Everybody!
(The final shot shows Andre and Albert walking back up the entrance ramp while glaring down at the ring while Chris and Jake embrace again and continue to taunt Andre as the shot fades to black.)
