(EAW intro plays.)
(Friday Night Dynasty intro plays. A recap montage of last week’s show plays before we cut to the opening sequence. A live shot of the Pensacola Bay Center in Pensacola, Florida is shown off before we go inside, where the arena is packed! 10,000 plus are standing strong and excited. The pyro goes off and then we switch over to a shot of Stew-O, Jake Mercer, and Flannery McCoy.)
Stew-O: WE’RE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE BIGGEST SHOW OF THE YEAR! IN THE MEANTIME, WE ARE HERE WITH AN ACTION-PACKED DYNASTY, LIVE FROM PENSACOLA, FLORIDA! WELCOME EVERYONE, AND THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN! I AM STEW-O, AND I AM HERE WITH JAKE MERCER AND FLANNERY MCCOY!
Jake Mercer: Another banger night, as should be expected! I can’t wait!
Flannery McCoy: And neither can I! There’s so much to look forward to, and a whole lot of interesting developments to follow up on from last week’s show!
Stew-O: And one of those developments we’re going to dive into RIGHT NOW!
(‘Like That (Remix)’ by Kanye West began blaring through the Pensacola Bay Center to a thunderous reaction filled mostly with boos; from behind the stage curtains, Methuselah stormed out with a somewhat irritated looking expression on his face. The boos didn’t seem to phase him, though, as he made a beeline for the squared circle with a microphone in hand. After he entered the ring, his music slowly died down, leaving only the sounds of the audience in its wake; he cut through their cheers and boos with his loud and authoritative voice.)
Methuselah: Ser Bronson, did you truly think you would be able to get away with it? The rules exist for a reason; the authority vested in Kensingten Calhoun-Astor and Richard Grant by my hands is only sufficient to the extent that their authority is reflected onto the tangible reality presented in the Land of Elite, Extreme, Merchants, Beasts. The moment that authority starts getting demeaned and ignored to too great an extent, it starts becoming an insult to the very hands that provided it; disobeying direct orders from the security staff, sneaking in as a player of football, and even laying your hands on me, these are all already examples of grave insubordination. However, by consciously, directly, and FLAGRANTLY disregarding the laws set down by my selected administration, you have undermined MY authority by extension. OVER FOR THOU. It was strictly verboten for you to show up on Friday Night Dynasty programming, and yet you showed up and brought your senseless aggression with you.
Methuselah: It’s a slap to the face of ME and a slap to the face of my COMPANY. But that’s just another day in the life of Bronson Daniels, is it not? This is how you operate, by harnessing all that you have, all that you ARE, and choosing to bite the hand that feeds you. The survival instinct inherent to all of humanity seems to have malfunctioned within you, with the path that you’ve chosen to embark upon. This path that you, Tyrone, and Diamond have begun haughtily marching upon to create a ‘Better Dynasty’, as though a Dynasty by any hands other than those that I have chosen could possibly compare. OVER FOR THOU. Alas, this will not end merely with verbal castigation. It was a cute stunt you tried to pull, but now you have to face the consequences. Enter: The Demiurge. Things are about to get far, FAR worse for you, and it will be brought about as a result of YOUR actions. The Babylonian Kemetic Mystery School System teaches through the Hermetic principle ‘The Principle of Cause and Effect’ that-
(Suddenly, “My War” by Shinsei Kamattechan began blaring through the speakers, interrupting Methuselah mid-sentence! The crowd came unglued with raucous cheers which were only magnified when Bronson Daniels appeared on the stage with a microphone of his own in hand. He began to speak with a slight smirk on his face.)
Bronson Daniels: Oh, I’m SO sorry, Methuselah! Sincerely, you have my DEEPEST apologies. Will the almighty Demiurge ever find it in his heart to forgive me? I understand where you’re coming from, I understand that I went against Kensingten and Richard’s direct orders… buuuuuuuuut, while you speak as if you’ve got this entire situation wrapped around your little finger, you need to understand that you don’t get my perspective at all. You think this is just defiance like some rebellious teenager going against their parents, but it goes FAR beyond that. You claimed in the leadup to your match last week that I’ve lost my passion for this business, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Everything I’ve been doing against you has been FOR this business. It’s been FOR Dynasty. This is MY brand, the brand that I am the FACE of, and so I take the responsibility upon myself to make it a better brand, by ANY means necessary. Free of the taint that the likes of you, Kensington, and Richard apply to it.
Methuselah: Aht aht, don’t get ahead of yourself, o insolent one. Y-
Bronson Daniels: Shut the hell up. You aren’t going to want to miss this. When I said by any means necessary, I MEANT it.
(He points up at the titantron, which suddenly lit up with a rather unexpected scene. It was a sunny beach in Pensacola with a beautiful pregnant woman seated on a laid-out beach towel underneath an umbrella. Bronson himself appears in the video dressed in casual beach attire as he walks up to the woman and begins chatting with her. EAW’s cameramen shift their view over to Methuselah.)
Methuselah: …
(His eyes couldn’t be open wider, his jaw was agape with shock and bewilderment, and every bit of color drained out of his face. The video ended as abruptly as it began with Bronson wishing the woman well and walking off. The titantron darkened once again, and the audience was murmuring amongst themselves in confusion. Inside the ring, though, Methuselah’s shock was replaced with blinding rage as the color returned to his face, making him as redder than ever. His hands trembled with fury as he looked like he was about to speak into his mic; before he could, however, Bronson laughed.)
Bronson Daniels: Hahahaha! She may be a stranger to the EAW Universe, but she sure isn’t a stranger to YOU, is she, Methuselah?
Methuselah: You… YOU… HOW THE HELL DID YOU FIND HER?! HOW DO YOU KNOW WHO SHE IS?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
Bronson Daniels: It really isn’t that hard, you decrepit moron. You and Kassidy work together and love to do nothing more than talking your mouths off on a weekly basis. Did you forget that you both have mentioned your gestational carrier quite a few times, even revealing where she was hanging out? For the EAW Universe, let me drop all pretenses; that woman is Alessia, who carries Methuselah and Kassidy’s children, and she is CURRENTLY pregnant with their fourth child.
(The crowd roars with surprise; meanwhile, Methuselah is left seething in the middle of the ring. Bronson isn’t done yet, though.)
Bronson Daniels: Family is everything, right? You certainly talk about them enough. You fawn over your wife every chance you get, and I know you’re so fond of your perfect master number children; you hold them close to your heart. I understand that. Now it’s your turn to understand ME. Because what you just saw up there? That’s it. I’m not like you or the rest of the fucking scum in this roster that would stoop to the lowest lows. I’m not out here to threaten your family or innocent people, Methuselah. I COULD, as you saw, but I WON’T. I don’t lord my power over others and get off on it like you do. But just as you love your family, I love my family. Elite Answers Wrestling is my family. DYNASTY is my family. So every thought that was rushing through your mind when you saw Alessia up on the screen there? Every defensive instinct lighting up in unison? I need you to understand that I feel the same power coursing through my veins for every step you and your pair of morons take against the sanctity of my brand. I’m not going to let you three have your way with a brand that I, along with all these fans, hold so dear. At Pain for Pride, I am going to FIGHT to SAVE it. And not only am I going to win, but I’m going to send you packing back to hospice care where you belong.
(The audience came unglued once more with deafening cheers as Bronson said those parting words. “My War” by Shinsei Kamattechan began playing once again as Methuselah and Bronson glared down at each other from the ring to the stage; the video feed faded to black as the two Pain for Pride opponents stared daggers into each other.)
(A commercial plays for Pain for Pride, with Bronson Daniels takes on Methuselah to decide the fate of Dynasty.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Geto’s True Identity” by Yoshimasa Terui hits indifference from the crowd. Chiyo Gado makes his way out to the ring.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! From Osaka, Japan, weighing 170 pounds! CHIYO GADO!
(Chiyo music fades out, and “Only the Strong Survive” by Saliva hits to boos from the crowd. Issac makes his way out to the ring. He is confident and ready for this upcoming match against Chiyo Gedo. Chiyo watches on as Issac heads down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: His opponent from Parts Unknown, weighing in at 225 pounds, is “FALLEN ANGEL” ISSAC CROWE!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Flannery McCoy: The bells have rung for these two competitors to start what is sure to be a hard-hitting match! These two feel like he has to beat the other by any means necessary to show how capable they are. They begin to circle the ring, looking to scout each other and take advantage of a quick slip-up from the other. Issac, of course, has a more technical side than Chiyo, so Gedo will have to play into his more agile side to get past this man. Once you allow Crowe to break you down, it’s over! They lock up in the middle of the ring, Issac transitioning behind Gedo into a back waistlock. But Chiyo manages to stop his plan and grab his right hand to lock in a wristlock! Issac isn’t allowing much of that either as he rolls forward and kips back up to his feet to lock in one of his own.
Jake Mercer: Chiyo Gedo starts to strike the gut of Crowe, however. They were forcing him to lose the hold. He slightly staggers back, giving Gedo a bit of room to recover. Chiyo Gedo now looks to throw a clothesline attempt at Crowe with the distance created…BUT THAT’S BLOCKED WITH A SHARP KNEE! He quickly grabs Chiyo Gedo from behind and lifts him onto a BRIDGE GERMAN SUPLEX! And he holds on for the cover!
ONE!
Stew-O: Chiyo already kicks out at the count of one! Crowe scrambles back to his feet, but so does Chiyo as he holds the back of his head. Crowe SPRINT AT HIM AND LOOKS TO CONNECT THAT SCISSORS KNEE STRIKE— Gedo avoids it and sends Issac into the ropes! Crowe bounces back at Gedo but gets caught with a massive back elbow, which takes him down before he can do anything! Crowe is already pumped and full of adrenaline because he has a match to win, but he returns to his feet and turns towards Chiyo Gedo. Gedo notices before it’s too late and throws another back elbow! This time, it misses!
Flannery McCoy: Chiyo turns around, and so does Issac, but Crowe uses that turn to throw a massive MIDDLE KICK at the chest of his challenger! Issac scrambles into the cover, looking for a quick fall!
…
Jake Mercer: GEDO KICKS OUT BEFORE THE ONE COUNT! Crowe gets back to his feet and staggers back out of surprise! Gedo gets back up to his feet and smirks at Issac. A new surge of confidence just streamed through Chiyo after that kickout. That kick-out won’t matter if he doesn’t know how to react to the sudden change from Issac, who looks to take him down with a back elbow himself! Gedo blocks it by slapping it down and nailing a sharp back elbow to the temple, which makes Issac stumble back and lose his sense of direction momentarily! Here comes Gedo, bouncing off the ropes and gathering speed as he rushes toward a stunned Crowe and nails Chiyo with a Bicycle Knee right on the jaw!
Stew-O: Issac has rocked him with that knee! Crowe rolls to the outside as Gedo is getting more and more pumped up. He’s sprinting towards the ropes, maybe looking for a suicide dive, except, wait, he stops dead in his tracks, turns to the cameras, and…I should’ve known better than to think he’d dive. It’s an effective strategy to avoid losing energy; he’s simply thinking about longevity. Gedo leisurely rolls under the ropes, following Crowe, who’s beginning to recover from that stiff knee. Issac keeps things slow, leveling Chiyo’s chest with a sharp chop!
Flannery McCoy: Chiyo Gedo knows he’s in control right now, following Chiyo towards the steps as the referee is about to begin his count. But wait, Crowe avoided a successive chop and NAILS Gedo RIGHT IN THE CHEST WITH ANOTHER MIDDLE KICK!
Jake Mercer: What force behind that kick! I can feel the shockwaves from here! Crowe rolls back into the ring, resetting the count for now, but quickly returns to his feet. Crowe rushes, bouncing off the ropes, and looks for a suicide dive to Gedo, who seems to have it scouted. Gedo suffers a taste of his own medicine, visibly angry as Chiyo remains patiently seated in the middle of the ring! I’m starting to think neither of them wants to dive…
Stew-O: Gedo rolls back into the ring, circling a still-seated Crowe who refuses to return to his feet, with the frustration on Gedo’s expression remaining full. If Crowe wanted to get on Gedo’s nerves, he’s succeeded as Gedo RUSHES FORWARD WITH A SUPERKICK-!
Flannery McCoy: CROWE DUCKS UNDER, ROLLS THROUGH, AND GOES FOR THE BLACK OUT-!!! BUT Gedo HAS IT SCOUTED, GOING FOR ANOTHER SUPERKICK, BUT IS CAUGHT AND MET WITH A STIFF BACK ELBOW FROM CHIYO! It will take some better technique than that for Gedo to keep up with the pure speed and accuracy of Crowe, who is in his element in a battle of strikes!
Jake Mercer: Crowe presses his advantage, rushing to the ropes and looking for a springboard moonsault-…BUT GEDO KNOCKS CROWE OUT OF THE AIR WITH A SWIFT SUPERKICK RIGHT TO THE JAW!
Stew-O: Gedo isn’t stopping, lifting Chiyo, who looks out on his feet, now in a fireman’s carry, before dropping him RIGHT ON HIS KNEE WITH A USHIGOROSHI!!! Gedo got all of it and threw Crowe’s head back down, hooking the leg as the referee began to count!
ONE!
…
TWO—
Flannery McCoy: Crowe powers out, still in this one and leaving his opponent even more irritated! Crowe has proven to be one hell of a physical competitor. He isn’t the biggest and most durable, but he knows how to make you break down faster. Gedo drags Issac back to his feet. After that, Ushigiroshi only got him a one-count, and he is looking to connect with a “Fatal Head Trauma” as he got Crowe’s head hooked! As he lifts him for it, Issac swiftly moves behind him and drops him down with an Inverted DDT!
Jake Mercer: Crowe rolls away from Chiyo Gedo, allowing both of them to use this time to recover from how the match has already gone. High-speed action from these two certainly makes everyone pay attention at every moment. Now Issac and Gedo pull themselves up and walk towards each other. Chiyo Gedo goes for a forearm, but Crowe catches it! Now Issac starts to fire with that signature striking combination! Ending with that sharp Basement KNEE STRIKE rocking Gedo’s world!
Stew-O: Issac hooks the leg after that swift combination!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
Flannery McCoy: Chiyo Gedo manages to kick out at 2! Issac doesn’t look pleased! But he pulls Chiyo Gedo up and wraps his arms around his neck for a modified Dragon Sleeper. This move has finished off a lot of people before, but Chiyo does not seem to give in!
Jake Mercer: Gedo instead finds a way out as he slips through Issac’s legs, grabs him from behind, and lifts him with a sudden German Suplex! Chiyo Gedo slowly stands back up and starts to taunt as he exits that deadly maneuver. The fans are cheering, but I don’t think it’s for him… LOOK BEHIND HIM! ISSAC CROWE IS ALSO BACK TO HIS FEET! THIS GUY IS INHUMAN! Chiyo doesn’t notice, and as he turns around— RIGHT INTO THAT SCISSORS KNEE STRIKE BY ISSAC CROWE! THAT KNEE STRIKE IS TAKING HIS HEAD CLEAN OFF!
Stew-O: NOW HE HAS HIS HAND UNDER GEDO’S CHIN! HE IS CALLING FOR IT! Slowly but surely, he lifts him further and further off the floor… LIFTING HIM FOR “DEATH DOOR”—
Flannery McCoy: CHIYO MANAGES TO SLIP OUT OF THE MOVE RIGHT IN TIME! Now he grabs Issac and drives him onto the mat with a massive Backdrop Suplex to slow him down! A small window to take a breather for Chiyo Gedo here. That Scissors Knee Strike was a vicious move. He will also force Issac to use his stamina to kick out by going for the cover!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
Jake Mercer: Call it a waste of time; Chiyo Gedo could breathe and recover while forcing Issac to spend valuable energy to kick out. That pinfall was genius. Gedo now walks over to the head of Issac so he can drag him to his feet— BUT HE WALKS INTO A SUDDEN ROLL-UP!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE—
Stew-O: BUT GEDO ESCAPES AT THE LAST SECOND! HE GOT A DESPERATE SHOULDER UP AT TWO!
Flannery McCoy: Gedo just saw his victory lash before his eyes! All the tension between these two this week, the hatred has grown! Gedo’s back to his feet, met by Issac Crowe, who rocks his opponent with a stiff forearm. Gedo stumbles from the strike but catches himself.
Jake Mercer: Now Gedo goes for a superkick, which Issac quickly covers up for, but wait, his opponent pump fakes and lands a superkick to the knee of Issac, sending Chiyo to the ground! Issac is calling for the end; he seems to be thinking of the big move here! Issac bounces off the ropes, but Chiyo swiftly rolls under the ropes toward our announcer’s table!
Stew-O: Great ring awareness from Chiyo! Crowe is quick to follow him out, and now they’re trading blows right in front of us, matching punch after forearm after forearm, as all the pent-up hostilities between these two are boiling over! They had better be careful; the referee is beginning his count as they brawl!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE!!!
…
FOUR!!!
Flannery McCoy: Finally, Issac and Chiyo begin moving towards the apron. Issac gains the advantage with a stiff strike, leaving Gedo dazed and holding onto the ropes. Issac follows him up there, readying his aim as he lays into Gedo with another vicious shot kick to the chest! Issac isn’t stopping his onslaught, pushing Gedo to the corner and lifting him to the top rope! It sure isn’t good, whatever Issac’s thinking, as both are now precariously positioned on the top of the turnbuckle!
Jake Mercer: Chiyo’s resisting as much as he can, hitting Issac with stiff forearms! But Issac counters with his strikes to stun Gedo on the top! Gedo wins the battle with a huge headbutt, sending Issac tumbling from the top to the ground on the outside, barely catching himself! Gedo’s bought himself some time as Issac is getting back to his feet, BUT WAIT, GEDO LEAPS DOWN FROM THE APRON AND GOES FOR THE SUNSET FLIP ON THE OUTSIDE!!!
Stew-O: CHIYO GEDO JUST SPIKED ISSAC’S HEAD ON THE UNFORGIVING GROUND, AND THIS CROWD IS ON ITS FEET!!! GEDO ISN’T WASTING ANY TIME AND DRAGS THE LIFELESS GEDO BACK TO HIS FEET AND PUSHES HIM BACK INTO GOING INTO THE COVER!!!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE—
Flannery McCoy: CROWE GETS HIS SHOULDER UP, AND GEDO CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!!
Jake Mercer: HOW DID HE KICK OUT?! GEDO IS LIVID WITH THE REF, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT CROWE HOLDS A LITTLE LONGER DESPITE GEDO’S BEST EFFORTS! Chiyo needs to keep his eyes on his opponent! Crowe slowly but surely recovers as he rolls towards the ropes to escape Gedo. Gedo notices! He walks towards Issac while he is pulling himself up to his feet. He walks right into a Barrel Roll Leg Sweep!
Stew-O: Chiyo Gedo is flattened by the move and climbs back to his knees. Issac sees the opportunity to run towards the ropes for another Basement Knee Strike— BUT HE RUNS RIGHT INTO A BICYCLE KICK! Issac Crowe staggered on his feet. Chiyo Gedo is looking to move back in, SUDDENLY GETS CAUGHT BY A MASSIVE ROUNDHOUSE KICK! Chiyo Gedo stumbles around from the sudden counter— BUT BEFORE CROWE CAN EVEN HIT SOMETHING ELSE, HE NAILS HIM WITH A SUPERKICK! Issac wobbles backward as Gedo pauses before he moves back in— BEFORE ISSAC TURNS HIM AROUND WITH ANOTHER SCISSORS KNEE STRIKE!
Flannery McCoy: ISSAC GRABS HIM FOR THE GERMAN SUPLEX— BUT CHIYO GETS OUT OF AFTER SLAPPING COWE’S ARMS AND HITS AN ENZUIGIRI INSTEAD! AND THAT LEAVES CROWE IN POSITION FOR GEDO TO RUN TOWARDS THE ROPES FOR THE UNEXPECTED—
Jake Mercer: HE RUNS INTO A DEATH DOOR! BEING GRABBED INTO THE BURNING HAMMER! Issac drops to his knees, facing away from Chiyo because of the exhaustion— WHILE CHIYO DROPS INTO THE ROPES AND REBOUNDS INTO THE UNEXPECTED WHIPLASH ANYWAY!!! Both men are down! All of their most significant strikes hit in a chain together! The referee starts to count towards the ten count since both men are not moving!
ONE!
…
TWO!
…
THREE!
…
FOUR!
…
FIVE!
…
Stew-O: Chiyo Gedo starts to crawl towards Crowe and breaks the count by leaning over him for the pinfall!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE—
Flannery McCoy: ISSAC SUDDENLY COUNTER IT INTO A CRUCIFIX ROLL-UP OF HIS OWN!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE—
Jake Mercer: GEDO MANAGES TO KICK OUT FROM THE ROLL-UP! There is absolutely no moment in this match that isn’t filled with action! That doesn’t stop now! Chiyo and Issac are on their knees as they stare down each other’s eyes! Gedo starts to strike Crowe, and Issac starts doing the same! They slowly go back towards their feet as they trade forearms. And now Issac throws a big right hand toward Chiyo.
Stew-O: Gedo ducks under it, grabs him by the shoulders, and drops back with a Backstabber! He is turning this match around from Issac’s dominance! Issac is slowly looking to return to his feet while holding his back! Chiyo cuts him off, drags him over to his feet, and hooks his head. HE LIFTS HIM TO DROP HIM DOWN WITH “FATAL HEAD TRUMA”!
Flannery McCoy: ISSAC CRASHES DOWN TO THE RING! CHIYO GOES INTO THE COVER AGAIN!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE—
Jake Mercer: BUT IT’S STILL NOT ENOUGH! ISSAC KICKS OUT! Gedo might be the most shocked person in the room right now! Issac Crowe is proving himself to be superhuman! Chiyo is slowly getting to his feet, now with the unwanted assistance of his opponent, who meets him with a stiff forearm, rocking Crowe! Gedo is calling for the end, both fingers pointed at Issac Crowe as he goes for a superkick, CROWE DUCKS AND RUSHES TOWARDS THE ROPES, SWINGING THROUGH THEM AND LAYING GEDO OUT WITH A AXE HANDLE!!!
Stew-O: NOW ISSAC DRAGS HIMSELF INTO THE COVER; GEDO LOOKS TO BE OUT!!!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE—
Flannery McCoy: GEDO GETS HIS SHOULDER UP! HE’S STILL ALIVE! There is no quit in either of these competitors, fueled by their passion and their desire to win this match! For the first time all night, Crowe seems lost as to what he has in his arsenal to put Chiyo Gedo down! Issac just might know what he’ll have to grab the head of Chiyo Gedo and lift him as he’s beginning to stir, preparing to put Chiyo away with the Burning Hammer!
Jake Mercer: Chiyo, still mustering the energy and strength to struggle out of the hold, Crowe stumbling around, trying to stay on his feet! If he can hit the finish, he can end this match once and for all! But it looks like that is being placed on hold. Chiyo drops out of the grasp and lands on his feet! Issac is going for that axe handle, ducked by Gedo, who shoves Crowe into the ropes, bouncing off, and comes rushing back towards Gedo again, but Gedo ducks and HITS THE REF! THE REFEREE IS DOWN, HIT BY ISSAC CROWE!
Stew-O: Gedo is bought some time by this as Issac gets back to his feet, worried about the referee being knocked out!
Flannery McCoy: CROWE TURNS AROUND AS GEDO RUNS THE ROPES AND LEVELS CROWE WITH THE UNEXPECTED WHIPLASH!!!
Jake Mercer: GEDO HITS IT, AND THE REFEREE SEES THE PIN; WE’RE GONNA HAVE A WINNER!
Stew-O: The referee begins to stir as Gedo enters the cover with a smirk across his face! All it took was one moment, one accidental mistake, to have this match sealed in his favor!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE—
Flannery McCoy: BUT CROWE GETS HIS SHOULDER UP AGAIN, AND THE ROOF COMES OFF FROM THE NOISE HERE IN THE ARENA! ISSAC CROWE IS SUPERHUMAN; GEDO LOOKS LIKE HE’S SEEN A GHOST!
Jake Mercer: CROWE IS SOMEHOW STIRRING, PULLING HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET, DRIVEN BY SOMETHING OTHERWORLDLY! HE’S MET WITH A SUPERKICK AND ANOTHER SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! CROWE IS STAGGERING TRYING TO STAY UP!
Stew-O: NOW GEDO HITS THE ROPES AND HITS ANOTHER “UNEXPECTED WHIPLASH”! CROWE HITS THE MAT, AND GEDO CRAWLS INTO THE COVER; THE REFEREE IS BEGINNING TO COUNT!
ONE!
…
TWO!!
…
THREE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…CHIYO GADO!
Flannery McCoy: Does my eyes deceive more or was that a match worthy of a big event like Pain for Pride! Those men threw everything at each other and made a statement. Win or lose, people now have their eyes on these two men.
Jake Mercer: You’d be doing a disservice to yourself if you weren’t looking at these men! They show out and show that they aren’t here for a limited time, they are here for the long haul and that this is just the beginning of a bright light at the end of the tunnel. Congratulations to both these men and hopefully this isn’t the last time we see them in the ring!
(Chiyo celebrates as Dynasty fades to commercials.)
(A commercial plays for Wingstop.)
(Back from commercials, in the ring, Jake Mercer is seen sitting in the middle, with empty chairs to his left and right. They each have microphones on the seat. He has a microphone in his hand as the fans cheer.)
Jake Mercer: Helllooooooooooooo EAW Universe, and welcome to our exclusive panel for the Cash in the Vault match at Pain for Pride! :blessed:
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Jake Mercer: Of course, the Cash in the Vault match has been a signature of Pain for Pride for years now. The six Elitist spectacle is a ladder match and the ultimate sign of opportunity as the briefcase guarantees the holder a chance to become a champion. It’s no wonder why it’s one of the most important matches not just at Pain for Pride, but all year as well. You win the match, and you’re set for life. Just about everyone who has been able to win the briefcase have gone on to be world champion, and the one person who didn’t, well… they’re main event Pain for Pride, so that didn’t deter them for long. At any rate, Cash in the Vault is one of the highly-anticipated matches for the biggest show of the year, and that is partly to the six participants who will be duking it out for all the glory. In fact, it’s been an interesting past few shows as all of them have made their cases known, wanting to be the one who wins it all in the end. So, without further ado, let’s bring them out!
(The fans cheer as Jake turns his head towards the ring.)
Jake Mercer: First off, let’s kick it all off by introducing our third-longest reigning Specialists Champion of all time, a woman who has become a sensation in her rookie year, and someone who is just poised to accomplish more — BEA VALENTINE!
(‘Gloria’ by Laura Branigan hits and Bea comes strolling out with that melancholic look to her. She enters and takes her seat directly to the right of Jake.)
Jake Mercer: Welcome, Bea! May I say it is such a divine pleasure to be within your presence!
Bea Valentine: Oh, thank you, dear. If only this moment could be even more momentous for me. A shame part of this match is sullied by utter buffoons, and especially ARIA. Ugh. Just horrid. 😔
Jake Mercer: Well, speaking of, maybe we should go on ahead and bring her out as well.
Bea Valentine: If you must. 🙄
(Sure enough, ARIA comes out next and not at all impressed with Bea at the moment. As she gets in the ring, she decides to opt to sit directly next to her, which makes Bea frown.)
Bea Valentine: There are chairs on the other side, you know.
ARIA: No, I’m good right here. Besides, with all of the crap you’ve been talking all week long, you may as well get what you need to say off of your chest and tell me directly.
Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!
Bea Valentine: :Francis:
Jake Mercer: Whew, already a little spicy here! Of course, you two are set to take on each other this Sunday on Voltage. Still, we need to put the fire away for now as now isn’t the time to set off any fireworks!
(Bea and ARIA are able to compose themselves, but they’re noticeably glaring at one another.)
Jake Mercer: Next up, we have the longest-reigning National Elite champion of all time, and a man who has made it known it’s only going to be a matter of time before he becomes a world champion — Donovan Duke!
(‘I Rise’ by Cory Marks plays, with Donovan Duke coming out. The fans cheer him on. He comes in and takes his seat on the opposite side of the ladies.)
Donovan Duke: Well, well, well. Seems like the party is getting started already. Don’t need any drinks to get anyone to act all rowdy.
Jake Mercer: A drink would be nice, but you know what’s even nicer? Having royalty join us! With that, let’s give a warm welcome to EAW’s Favorite Princess, Candice Blair!
(‘Rhapsody in Pink’ by Stela Cole plays and Candice Blair struts out, waving daintily and smiling from ear to ear. She saunters down to the ring and enters it. She sits down next to Donovan.)
Candice Blair: What a kind introduction from you, Jake. It’s important that people know that the best Disney representative is here. After all, we can’t have Pain for Pride Kingdom without the Face of Disney. 🤩
ARIA: :comeagain:
Donovan Duke: There she goes. And here I thought Bea was the more air headed one.
Bea Valentine: Excuse you?!
Jake Mercer: Alright, settle down, settle down. Now, onto our next Elitist, he has been able to come back and really make a name for himself, doing all he can to turn the negative perception that once surrounded his name around. I am talking about the Golden Doyen himself, MITSU!
(‘il vento d’oro’ by Yugo Kann plays, and MITSU comes out. He heads to the ring with no frills attached. Bea and ARIA noticeably glare at him, seeing as how they’ll all be in the triple threat match at Voltage. MITSU picks up on the energy and smirks.)
MITSU: Hey, I know I have all the attention right now, but maybe the two of you can calm down with the looks?
Bea Valentine: Oh, shut it, you utter moron.
ARIA: You know what? I may have to agree with you there.
MITSU: Sheesh. Tough crowd tonight, huh?
Bea Valentine: Worrying about jokes is why your career has become one.
(MITSU raises a brow, but before he responds, Jake Mercer cuts in.)
Jake Mercer: Aaaaaand finally, we have the first-year sensation who has taken the world by storm since debuting with the stable formerly known as KAI-ZEN. He has been able to rack up some pretty big wins and moments as a rookie, including being one of two participants in the finals for the first-ever Cash in the Vault tournament! Of course, I’m talking about the man himself, Shinzo Sasaki!
(‘Loose Change’ by the Alchemist plays, and Shinzo Sasaki comes out with a calm yet serious demeanor. He looks over at the rest of the participants and scoffs. He enters the ring and takes the last seat, sitting down with his ex-stablemate. This causes MITSU to roll his eyes. Shinzo side-eyes him.)
Shinzo Sasaki: Oh, what, are you too good to be sitting next to me? Need I remind you that I was the only person in our team who was worth anything at all? I suggest you take the same effort you just used to make that gesture and apply it to your career so that you can actually look like a threat for once in your miserable existence.
MITSU: Well, I like to think I proved myself to be a threat considering I earned my way into this match.
Shinzo Sasaki: Okay? Congratulations? So did I, genius. That doesn’t make you special.
MITSU: Maybe not, but it should show you how motivated I am and how I was able to will myself to win that match. Now, I’m going the distance, and I am going to win Cash in the Vault.
ARIA: Yeeeeeaaaaaaah, no offense, dude, but you’re definitely the least credible of the bunch here. There’s no way you’re winning the match. You have been hot and cold all season and one win isn’t going to change that fact.
MITSU: If I’m hot and cold, then what are you? What have you done again since losing the Specialists Championship?
ARIA: Hm, I dunno, MITSU. Maybe compete in two marquee main events, fought in two world championship matches… and now that I think about, I think most of the marquee matches I’ve had this season have had me in championship bouts. 🤔
Bea Valentine: Really? Are you bragging about having title matches you’ve lost in? How dreadful.
ARIA: Well, I’ve certainly had more than you this season. 🤷🏼♀️ But if you wanna play that game, we were all set up in this position because we’ve all had some kind of hurdles along the way. We’ve all lost some pretty huge matches this season, and now, all of that comes to a head with this bout.
Shinzo Sasaki: Ha. Speak for yourself, lady.
ARIA: Oh yeah? Where’s your briefcase, by the way?
Shinzo Sasaki: It was stolen from a man who could never beat me one-on-one. Don’t worry though, I’ll be sure that I get the briefcase this time, and I may hit you over the head with it while I’m at it, too.
Candice Blair: Ugh, the violence! Do we really need this sort of talk?! 🤢 Think of the children!
Jake Mercer: Okay, guys, let’s get our priorities straightened out here. Obviously, Cash in the Vault is such a huge match with world title implications given to the winner, and all of you have those aspirations, with some of you actually challenging for world championships already this season. Donovan, coming off of the heels of an insane season sixteen, you were looked at by many, and I mean many people who thought that you were going to be a world champion in season seventeen. It was just inevitable, right? However, things have been a bit rocky for you and the fast-tracked success to the main event scene so many people envisioned for you has taken quite the detour. What exactly does this match mean for you?
Donovan Duke: Oh, it means a hell of a lot to me, Jake, especially with the reasons you already supplied. It always crosses my mind the idea that I should be a world champion. However, as close as I’ve gotten to that goal, I’ve fallen short of it, and it has been a bit rough to deal with, not gonna lie. We are all prideful folks and we definitely think we’re the best, where we’re gonna get that instant rush of success and carry onwards. However, this season, I found out real quickly that not everything is gonna fall into your lap as you may have envisioned. It’s been heartbreak after heartbreak, but being in this match, it’s my final chance to make sure that my dreams don’t die on me. It’s very important to me. I plan on winning, and if I gotta trample five others to do that, then so be it.
Jake Mercer: Passionate and candid words there, as I’m sure everyone else can relate. Some may be wanting to be champions again while others want to break out and finally get that crowning moment. Especially for you, Candice, you are the most experienced out of everyone in this match, but you have yet to be a champion despite competing in EAW for a good few years now. Do you feel like this will finally be your time to ascend and get that metaphorical tiara?
Candice Blair: Absolutely. Trust me, it’s not lost on me how I could’ve been a champion by now. I mean, the fact that the Face of Disney hasn’t been a champion in the Disney era is criminal! And knowing that EAW and Disney are set to part ways after Pain for Pride truly breaks my heart. 😔 That’s why I want to do everything I can to win so that not only can I earn a first in my career, but give one big last hurrah for any amazing partnership, and it would truly be the storybook ending. I can see it now… oh, that briefcase and I are going to look so good together. It’ll fit like a glass slipper, belonging to its rightful owner.
Shinzo Sasaki: Okay, settle down, Cinderella. You can talk about Disney and fairytales all you like, but this is reality, and the reality of the matter is that you’re no real threat in this match. None of you are, really. Out of everyone here, I’m the one who has been consistent the most, practically dominating almost everyone that has stood in my way. You can have your little dreams and aspirations, but I’ve been able to rip away those from Elitists far above any of your pay grades, and I’m going to make this all look like child’s play.
MITSU: Riiiiiiiight.
Bea Valentine: Actually, it will be I who will walk out with the briefcase. Oh, my precious Gloria 2. I can already feel her weight within the palms of my hands…
ARIA: You’re.. seriously not gonna call it that, are you?
Bea Valentine: Of course I will! The legacy of Gloria must live on, and it will be a grander legacy than yours. Then again, can we even say you have a legacy to your name, ARIA?
ARIA: If by legacy you mean not being a whiny, depressed bitch, then sure, I do. 😉
Candice Blair: GAAAAAAAAASP!!! Language!
Shinzo Sasaki: She’s really complaining about foul language as if we’re not allowed to do that.
Candice Blair: Still, have some manners! It’s unbecoming!
Jake Mercer: Alright, alriiiiighy, let’s take it over to you, MITSU. What makes you different from everyone else in the field that has you confident you can pull this off?
MITSU: Honestly? I’d say it’s my tenacity and the will I have to never give up. I’ve been the butt of many jokes, called a loser, discredited and everything else in between, but I never gave up. I just kept pushing. I’m sure a lot of people weren’t even expecting me to earn my way into this match, but I did, and now that I’m here, I’m determined to make everyone shut up, including this moron over here.
Shinzo Sasaki: Moron? Me? Yet how many times have you fumbled your opportunities, MITSU? In fact, maybe if you weren’t such an inconsistent fool, KAI-ZEN would still be around.
MITSU: Maybe, but then, I wouldn’t have been able to grow and find my own way as a competitor here.
Shinzo Sasaki: Find your way? Grow? You do not understand the words that are coming out of your mouth.
ARIA: I can’t lie, that was a pretty generic answer. I think all of us are tenacious in our own right.
MITSU: That’s cool, but who asked you?
ARIA: I don’t need to ask to voice my opinion, jacka—
Jake Mercer: ALRIGHT! Uh, Bea, we’ve seen you become completely downtrodden since you lost the Specialists Championship— er, Gloria, and it’s clear that you want another piece of hardware to make you feel complete again. Should you win, which championship do you feel the most excited about going after?
Bea Valentine: Oh, now that is a profound question. Honestly, I—
ARIA: Pffft. Yeah, she’s not winning, let’s be real. Bea is just ridiculous! She was such an unserious champion and she’s an unserious wrestler. She’s just not going to be able to cut it in the end, and I stand by that. Still, even if she wins, she’ll probably screw up the cash in and Jamie won’t have to feel so bad anymore about his own blunder.
Bea Valentine: Just like all of the blunders you’ve had this season, darling. I don’t think you should be talking about anyone not becoming a world champion when you couldn’t cut it twice. If anyone is going to fail their cash-in, it’s you!
ARIA: At least I had those matches. How many current champions have you lost to again throughout this season again?
Bea Valentine: Ah, someone is trying to get the claws out because they’re hurt. Typical.
ARIA: Oh yeah? You wanna see these claws?
Donovan Duke: Oh, boy.
Candice Blair: Now, we don’t need to fight now, do we?
Jake Mercer: Ladies, let’s just—
Stew-O: OH NO! KICK TO BEA, AND THAT SENDS HER CRASHING INTO DONOVAN DUKE!! THEY BOTH GO DOWN!
Candice Blair: NOO!! STOP FIGHTING!!
Flannery McCoy: AND LOOK! SHINZO TAKES THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHEAP SHOT MITSU, PUNCHING HIM! BUT MITSU GETS UP AND FIRES OFF ON HIM TOO!
Candice Blair: WHY IS NO ONE LISTENING?!! 😭😭😭
Stew-O: DONOVAN SCRAMBLES UP AND HE YELLS AT ARIA, WHO RESPONDS WITH A FOREARM! SHE ATTACKS HIM AND THE TWO START FIGHTING! BEA JS BACK UP THOUGH AND SHE TACKLES THE TWO OF THEM!
Flannery McCoy: AND SHINZO TAKES MITSU UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS, BUT MITSU SLIPS DOWN! SHINZO COMES AT HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE, BUT HE DUCKS—
Stew-O: AND HE RUNS RIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK FROM CANDICE! GUESS PLAYING THE PEACEMAKER WON’T WORK HERE! BEA GETS UP, BUT CANDICE STRIKES HER DOWN WITH A KICK! ARIA FOLLOWS NEXT, BUT SHE’S LEVELED WITH A SPINNING FOREARM TO THE FACE! AND NOW, DONOVAN IS UP AND CHARGES AT HER—
Flannery McCoy:CANDICE KICKS HIM IN THE GUT AND SETS HIM UP! ‘DISNEYLAND DESTROYER’!! CANDICE BLAIR WIPED OUT THE FIELD AND IS STANDING TALL!!
Stew-O: BUT FROM BEHIND! SHINZO SASAKI HAS TURN HER AROUND AND STRIKES HER DOWN WITH ‘MADVILLANY’!!! SHINZO SASAKI IS THE LAST ONE STANDING!’
(Jake Mercer has already hightailed it out of the ring. Shinzo looks at everyone and smirks before raising his arm up.)
Flannery McCoy: Well, Jake, you tried your best!
Jake Mercer: I’m just glad no one accidentally hit me, that’s all.
Stew-O: And what a chaotic brawl we just witnessed! However, with Shinzo standing amongst the heap, will this foreshadow what’s to come at Pain for Pride?!
(From there, the feed fades.)
(A commercial plays for Pain for Pride, featuring the annual Cash in the Vault match.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘My Way” by Limp Bizkit began blaring through the speakers of the Pensacola Bay Center to loud cheers as Ryan Joseph Wilson made his way out onto the stage. He hyped the crowd up as he went side to side across the stage, being sure to give all the fans attention before he walked briskly down the ramp, tagging the hands of the fans as he made his way into the squared circle.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST! Hailing from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, weighing in at 220 pounds… he is Dynasty’s Workhorse! RYAAAAAAAAAAN! JOSEEEEEEEEEEEEEPH! WIIIIIIIIIIIIILSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
Stew-O: Here comes one of Dynasty’s most beloved figures, Ryan Joseph Wilson! In about two weeks, he will be competing as one of the members of the 24/7 Battle Royale at Pain for Pride Kingdom! Though he came up short at Grand Rampage and in his Interwire Championship aspirations, Ryan has nonetheless never given up and continues his championship pursuits through the battle royale!
Flannery McCoy: Not to mention that he’s started picking up momentum on the way to the match as well! He scored a victory against the temporarily reformed KAI-ZEN and even gave the World Heavyweight Champion a solid fight last week! As he fights against a fellow 24/7 Battle Royale contestant this week in what could be considered a preview of the Pain for Pride match, we’ll get to see which one of the two will have that bragging right as they head into the big match!
Jake Mercer: Personally, I have more faith in his opponent! Ryan has clashed with the Konig far too many times, I don’t trust him!
Flannery McCoy: You know they worked well together to get that win over the reformed KAI-ZEN, don’t you?
Jake Mercer: Either way, Ronan is going to be in the 24/7 Battle Royale too, that’s who I’m rooting for!
(‘Psycho CEO’ by Yeat began playing through the speakers to a mixed reaction filled largely with boos; Shisui Tategami sauntered onto the stage with a determined expression on his face. He cracked his knuckles before storming down the ramp, ignoring the fans as he made his way into the ring.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT! Hailing from Kyoto, Japan, weighing in at 180 pounds… he is ‘The One Who Left It All Behind’… SHISUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! TAAAAAATEEEEEEEGAAAAAAAAAAMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
Stew-O: And here comes Shisui Tategami, one of EAW’s newcomers alongside the likes of Vincent Mondrian and Chiyo Gedo! He will also be competing in the 24/7 Battle Royale at Pain for Pride Kingdom, and if you hear what he has to say, you can tell just how determined he is to make his mark and perhaps even punch his ticket to an opportunity at a championship! There isn’t a doubt in anybody’s mind that Shisui wants it more than anything else in the world, and he’s here to prove that fact tonight against perhaps the toughest opponent he’s faced thus far in his young career!
Flannery McCoy: If he is able to get the win tonight, though, that would be a major statement! Ryan is a former New Breed Champion in his own right, so being able to beat a man like that would allow Shisui to show the world that he has what it takes to become a champion, too!
Jake Mercer: BEAT HIM UP, SHISUI!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And the match is underway! Both men exit their respective corners and begin circling the ring, sizing each other up as they reach their hands out, looking to take the advantage without falling prey to their opponent’s trap! Ultimately, Shisui takes the lead by initiating the collar and elbow tie up and immediately pulling Ryan into a side headlock!
Flannery McCoy: We’ve seen just how determined Shisui is, so him bringing this type of fire into the match is not entirely unexpected!
Jake Mercer: The Banished Devil wrenches on the side headlock as hard as he can, lowering himself in order to force Ryan Joseph Wilson down to one knee, before suddenly twisting himself and flipping Ryan onto his back!
Stew-O: It seems as though he’s eschewing further wrestling holds as he chooses to instead mount Ryan and start battering him with a vicious barrage of ground mounted punches! Lefts and rights, Shisui Tategami understands what this match could do for his career and he’s doing everything in his power to put Ryan down!
Flannery McCoy: I wouldn’t advise him to underestimate Ryan, though, because the former member of Dominion prides himself on his wrestling prowess and veteran expertise! Shisui suddenly goes flying through the air as Ryan employs a monkey flip to send him overhead! He lands with a loud thud, but the New Breed doesn’t seem too phased as he quickly grabs the ropes and gets back to his feet, just as Ryan did the same!
Jake Mercer: Both men engage in another collar and elbow tie up, one that is mutually engaged, resulting in the two of them struggling against each other as they try to push the other back through sheer force! This time, Ryan is able to take the advantage by overpowering Shisui and forcing him up against the ropes!
Stew-O: Before the referee could separate the two, Ryan immediately sends Shisui running across the length of the squared circle with an Irish Whip, causing him to rebound off the opposite side’s ropes and come running back with added velocity! Ryan Joseph Wilson catches Shisui on the way back and sends him tumbling with a perfectly executed hip toss, bringing the match back down to the mat!
Flannery McCoy: And this time, it’s Ryan employing a ground and pound of his own, going tit for tat with the younger wrestler! Ryan, though, follows up the ground pound by switching up to a flurry of repeated flashing elbow drops before Shisui managed to find a counterpoint against the ground and pound! That’s the veteran expertise coming into play, here!
Jake Mercer: Don’t underestimate Shisui’s smarts, though! As Ryan went for another elbow drop, Shisui rolled out of the way, damaging Ryan’s elbow with no body to land on! The Banished Devil keeps rolling until he makes it out to ringside, creating some distance between himself and the veteran. Ryan gets up and sees this as Shisui recuperates outside!
Stew-O: I don’t think the distance between the ring and ringside is going to be enough to prevent Ryan from employing his offense, though! Ryan hits the opposite side’s ropes, picking up speed as he sprints towards Shisui and LEAPS THROUGH THE ROPES! A SUICIDE DIVE THROUGH THE ROPES, AND RYAN CLEARS THE DISTANCE BEFORE CRASHING VIOLENTLY INTO SHISUI!
Flannery McCoy: Both men are down at the ringside floor now, but Ryan is getting up quicker, having taken far less of the brunt of that clash! And now Ryan starts picking Shisui apart with a rough looking knee to the gut followed up by a clubbing blow to the back of the head!
Jake Mercer: OH, but Shisui grabs hold of Ryan’s abdomen and rams him into the corner post! That pained expression on Ryan’s face tells you all you need to know about how much that hurt, and Shisui is relishing in it! He grabs Ryan by the hair and forces him back into the ring as Shisui follows suit, sliding in under the bottom rope to join him!
Stew-O: He keeps the momentum up as he continues running past Ryan, who has already begun staggering up, and hits the ropes! He rebounds and sprints towards Ryan, who just barely manages to turn around and see what’s coming before it hits! A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE by the Banished Devil connects, knocking Ryan Joseph Wilson inside out! He’s hooking the leg, going for the cover!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: But a kickout from Dynasty’s workhorse, who certainly has more gas left in the tank! Shisui scoffs at the display of resilience as he starts picking him back up, refusing to allow Ryan a moment of recuperation from the damage he’s experienced.
Stew-O: A stiff knee to the gut lands from Shisui, perhaps as a bit of payback for Ryan’s own application of the move just moments ago! This forces Ryan to double over and put himself in the perfect position for Shisui to reach down and hoist him up in a classic bodyslam fashion! However, he forcefully tucks Ryan’s head inwards and drops him on it! A MICHINOKU DRIVER FROM SHISUI, AND HE HOOKS THE LEG YET AGAIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jake Mercer: But Ryan kicks out yet again, damn it, albeit just a bit later than the previous time! Shisui may be too focused on the idea of beating a veteran like Ryan that he’s allowing desperation to seep in with these constant pin attempts.
Stew-O: That may backfire, though, as every one of these failed pin attempts include moments that you could’ve been continuing the assault, rather than letting Ryan recuperate and find openings to counter the Banished Devil’s momentum! Nevertheless, though, the determination to seize the win is certainly admirable, even if his attitude towards other elitists rubs others the wrong way.
Flannery McCoy: Shisui is at it yet again as he drags Ryan back up to his feet and begins applying a double chickenwing to both of his arms! Perhaps he’s looking for that snap tiger suplex of his! Unfortunately for him, it seems like he’s having trouble getting the right arm locked in as Ryan begins struggling against the attempts!
Jake Mercer: OH! A back elbow to the side of Shisui’s head by the untrapped arm of Ryan Joseph Wilson! And another back elbow! Ryan is turning Shisui’s head into a punching bag… or rather, an elbowing bag, and he forces Shisui to forsake the attempted maneuver! Come on, so close!
Stew-O: This gives Ryan an opportunity to turn himself back around and WOW! A TREMENDOUS EUROPEAN UPPERCUT BY RYAN, it sends Shisui staggering backwards with his head arched back! Ryan sees this and is able to glean the opportunity at hand as he runs past Shisui and leaps into the air, reaching back and yanking him back down with a neckbreaker to bring Shisui to the mat with a thunderous thud!
Flannery McCoy: That seems to have temporarily incapacitated Shisui, but Ryan isn’t going for the pin; rather, he leaps over the top rope to get onto the apron and begins climbing up the ropes to get to a perched position on top of the top turnbuckle! What’s he planning here?!
Stew-O: He hypes up the fans before reaching up to the heavens above and leaping off the corner! With his elbow pointed down, he crashes violently into Shisui Tategami with a tremendous diving elbow drop! AND NOW he hooks the leg, looking to get the win against the Banished Devil!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jake Mercer: AHA, now Shisui Tategami is the one to kick out! Ryan looks a bit surprised that Shisui was able to kick out after a high-risk maneuver like that, but he’ll have to come to terms with the fact that the Banished Devil is here to stay and make a name for himself!
Flannery McCoy: Ryan nods his head as he gets back to his feet and drags Shisui up as well! He grabs hold of Shisui’s wrist and Irish whips him over into the corner; the moment Shisui makes it there, Ryan runs up and unleashes a flurry of cornered knife-edge chops onto the Banished Devil to light up his chest!
Jake Mercer: Pfft, that’s a cheap maneuver.
Flannery McCoy: Call it what you will, but they’re doing their job! The crowd is chanting along for every chop that Ryan unleashes, and Shisui Tategami’s chest is getting redder and more blistered by the moment!
Stew-O: Before he can get gassed out, he switches it up, jumping and getting his feet against the midsection of Shisui Tategami before falling back and performing a monkey flip to launch Shisui over to the middle of the ring! Ryan takes a look back to make sure Shisui is right where he wants him to be before he gets back onto the apron and begins climbing up the ropes yet again! Is he going for the elbow drop again?
Jake Mercer: LOOK OUT, SHISUI! CHANNEL RONAN’S SPIRIT AND GET OUT OF DODGE!
Flannery McCoy: I’m not sure he can hear you, Jake; wish I could say the same for myself. Ryan makes it to the top turnbuckle and takes aim at Shisui Tategami before he beckons to the fans once again! HE LEAPS OFF WITH A FROG SPLASH THIS TIME, INSTEAD OF A DIVING ELBOW DROP!
Stew-O: OOOH! SHISUI GETS THE KNEES UP! RYAN COMES CRASHING DOWN AND THERE’S NOTHING SOFT TO CUSHION THE LANDING! Ryan collapses off of Shisui as he clutches at his abdomen in agony; Shisui, on the other hand, seems to have taken some damage himself as a result of all 220 pounds of Ryan’s bodyweight crashing down on him, but most of the damage that could’ve happened was avoided!
Jake Mercer: The Banished Devil staggers to a kneel with a smirk on his face for a plan well-executed, before he glares at Ryan as he looks to follow up on the momentum. He grabs Ryan’s wrist and forcefully drags him back up to his feet! The moment Ryan is up, Shisui shoves his boot up against the jaw of the workhorse and falls back – EAT DEFEAT!
Flannery McCoy: Ryan’s wrist is still clutched, though, so he’s only able to fall down to a seated position, but he’s looking rather out of it! Shisui staggers back up, with the effects of this match starting to take their toll, before he hits the ropes and sprints back towards Ryan!
Stew-O: BLADE OF WIND! BLADE OF WIND! SHISUI’S SIGNATURE PENALTY KICK CONNECTS AND THE CROWD GET OFF THEIR FEET AS THEY THINK HE MAY HAVE DONE IT HERE! SHISUI HOOKS THE LEG, THIS COULD BE IT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Jake Mercer: OH, YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
Stew-O: Ryan Joseph Wilson was able to kick out before the three count hit the mat, this match is still on! Shisui growls as the anger and frustration of Ryan’s resilience starts overtaking him; he stomps his boot on the mat as he violently brings Ryan back to that same seated position.
Shisui Tategami: STAY DOWN! THIS IS MY TIME, NOT YOURS!
Flannery McCoy: Bold words from the New Breed, and I think he’s setting up for an even bigger move! He heads back to the corner and takes aim at the back of Ryan’s head before he starts sprinting forward! TOTSUKA BLADE! HE’S GOING FOR THE HIDDEN BLADE!
Stew-O: BUT NO, RYAN HAD IT SCOUTED AND HE FALLS BACK JUST IN TIME FOR THE MOVE TO MISS, SHISUI FALLS FORWARD AS A RESULT! Ryan agonizingly scrambles back to his feet after having successfully avoided the move that likely could have put an end to his chances here tonight! But will Ryan be able to turn it around?!
Flannery McCoy: Shisui turns around as he looks to finish the job against Ryan, but he gets met with a kick to the gut, and then another European uppercut to follow up! Shisui staggers back in a daze, giving Ryan the opportunity to step back and measure Shisui up; before he’s able to do anything else-
Stew-O: SUPERMAN PUNCH 2.0! THE RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TRANSITIONED IMMEDIATELY INTO A SUPERMAN PUNCH CONNECTS! THE DOUBLED-UP IMPACT CAUSES SHISUI TO FALL TO THE MAT, BUT I DON’T THINK RYAN IS FINISHED JUST YET!
Jake Mercer: HANG IN THERE SHISUI! REVERSE, REVERSE!
Flannery McCoy: Ryan leans down and folds Shisui up in a tight small package before hoisting him up! The fans are going wild as they cheer Ryan on!
Crowd: OLE! OLE! OLE! OLE!
Stew-O: I think he hears them loud and clear as he angles Shisui down and DROPS HIM! MIC DROP! RYAN’S FINISHING MANEUVER, THE SMALL PACKAGE DRIVER KNOWN AS THE MIC DROP, CONNECTS RIGHT ON TARGET! RYAN HOOKS BOTH LEGS OF SHISUI AS HE GOES FOR THE PIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(‘My Way” by Limp Bizkit began blaring through the speakers of the Pensacola Bay Center once again as the crowd began cheering loudly for his victory! Ryan Joseph Wilson slowly staggered back to his feet and had his arm raised by the referee in victory.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… RYAAAAAAAN! JOSEEEEEEEEEEEPH! WIIIIIIIIIILSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
Stew-O: What a hard-hitting match by these two warriors! This match may have only been a sneak peek of things to come at the 24/7 Battle Royale taking place at Pain for Pride Kingdom, but both Ryan Joseph Wilson and Shisui Tategami put in the WORK for this match! It was anybody’s game, but this time around, it was Ryan who came out on top!
Jake Mercer: Hate to see it, but nevertheless the Konig will seize the day!
Flannery McCoy: We can’t forget about the tremendous effort that Shisui Tategami put in, though! For a New Breed going up against a seasoned veteran like Ryan, he certainly pushed him to his limits! Come Pain for Pride Kingdom, the end result could be very different than it is tonight. Will one of these two men find the power and endurance needed to overcome the vast amount of elitists that will be participating in the 24/7 Battle Royale and punch their ticket to a potential championship in their future? You’ll have to tune in to find out! Kudos to both wrestlers for an outstanding performance!
(Ryan Joseph Wilson continued celebrating his victory as he exited the ring and started tagging the fans on his way up the ramp. In the ring, Shisui Tategami sat back up clutching his head in pain as he stared daggers down the ramp at his triumphant opponent. The video feed slowly faded to black.)
(A commercial plays for EA Sports College Football 25.)
(‘Not Like Us’ by Kendrick Lamar hits, and the fans cheer. Tyrone Montgomery comes out along with Diamond Dixon, with the two of them smiling towards one another before they stroll down the ring together.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing at this time, the assistant general manager Diamond Dixon and Dynasty’s general manager Tyrone Montgomery!
Stew-O: Well, last week, we got a preview of what Dynasty would look like under the potential leadership of Kensingten Calhoun-Astor and Richard Grant, which has received some… interesting reactions, to say the least.
Jake Mercer: Well, you know, they have their own vision for things! I’m sure whatever negativity was attached to it was just blown out of proportion! Besides, we should focus on the fact that Bronson Daniels will no longer be the face of any kind of Dynasty product! :blessed:
Flannery McCoy: Way to be unbiased.
Jake Mercer: Anyone who can get rid of that bozo has my support!
Flannery McCoy: 🤦🏼♀️
(Tyrone and Diamond enter the ring and are given microphones. Fans are chanting along to the song, and when it fades, they cheer, clearly making it known which of the management team they prefer.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Thank you guys! Once again, we have a hot, enthusiastic crowd here, and your support means a lot. Trust me, especially with how everything has been in recent times, your support has helped a lot.
Diamond Dixon: Mhm, and don’t y’all forget it. We take note of the love and it is very much appreciated.
Crowd: :blessed:
Tyrone Montgomery: Now, last week, you all had to unfortunately hear Kensingten and Richard speak, which is a crime in itself, but of course, the idea of their Dynasty is far from ideal. Kensingten and Richard only want for a particular set of Elitists to succeed, and as always, they think they know best. However, focusing on a specific group that fits your image isn’t the best. For our show to thrive, a diverse body of talent need to be involved, and frankly, much of Dynasty’s success this season can be attributed to this mindset. We need a mix of old and new, young and established, and of course, letting people from various walks of life succeed.
Diamond Dixon: For real. We don’t wanna see a complete cac wash out, especially when certain people wanna be real funny and treat their own wrong but then try and prop them up after the fact. 👀
Tyrone Montgomery: As the young folks say, clock it!
Diamond Dixon: Like, really. Imagine looking at a freak of an athlete in Michael Machina or a magnetic star like Drake Armstrong and try to embarass them? Michael has shown he can do it all in the ring, and depending on how he fares at Pain for Pride, he could very well shatter Andre Walker’s record for the longest New Breed Championship reign of all time. And mind you, people thought that it would take DECADES for someone to even come close to doing it, but homeboy has been able to do all of this in, what, fifteen months now? Imagine the sort of history he can continue to make in the years to come?
Tyrone Montgomery: And of course, we have Drake Armstrong who has been able to build himself up as one to watch. Already our reigning Interwire Champion, he has shown that he isn’t all talk. Some may be put off by his cocky ways, but at the same time, he more often than not backs up his talk, and his title reign is proof of that. He has already amassed a promising career, and under our Dynasty, he would continue to flourish.
Diamond Dixon: You know who else would? Hans Grayson. He was able to win the New Breed Championship as a rookie and since then, he’s been in many prominent matches. Not to mention, a whole lot of you seem to like him, and with him being one of our more popular Elitists due to his workhorse mentality, the Fireheart ain’t going nowhere.
Tyrone Montgomery: And neither will Joso, our current King of Elite. Yes, we’re pouring honey on him, because why wouldn’t we? Former Interwire Champion, inaugural New Era Classic winner, obviously has the most prestigious tournament in all of wrestling underneath his belt, at this rate, he is bound to be a world champion. His win all but guarantees it, but Joso has shown he is ready to make due on the opportunity he has, willing to take on the very best, from Jamie O’Hara to Impact coming up at Pain for Pride.
Diamond Dixon: And speaking of future world champions, how about Milli Banks? She’s been killing it all year, and of course, she has turned herself around from being the most hated woman at one point in her career to one of the most popular people in EAW, period. She’s emerged as a real role model and a future great, but then again, when you stan Nicki, how can you not? 😌
Tyrone Montgomery: Our Dynasty will celebrate everyone from everywhere, no matter your background, your past, your experience, what have you. So long as you work hard, you will be given the chance to flourish—
???: Oh yeah? Just like Bronson Daniels, huh?
(Suddenly, the fans boo. Kensingten Calhoun-Astor and Richard Grant come on out, much to Tyrone and Diamond’s displeasure.)
Diamond Dixon: Y’all don’t think it’s rude to be interrupting people?
Richard Grant: Don’t you know it’s rude to speak when you aren’t told to, little girl?
Diamond Dixon: Little girl??? Are you serious???
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: We are, but you need to turn the question to yourselves because are we really going to go the pitying diversity route? Ugh. So typical. You don’t care about any true merit and that is why Dynasty is in the state that it’s in.
Tyrone Montgomery: You mean consistently putting on the best shows? Having talent like the Jaded Hearts, Myles AND, whether you like him or not, Bronson Daniels is included in that part.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: For now he is, but when it comes down to it, soon enough, he will no longer be here, and I cannot wait for that trash to stop infesting this brand, ruining it.
Tyrone Montgomery: Well, that’s not gonna happen. Bronson is going to win, and the two of you can finally screw off in whatever shack in Alabama you share.
Richard Grant: You better watch your mouth, boy! You don’t raise your voice at us!
Tyrone Montgomery: What’s wrong? Offended that you live in a time where people of color aren’t going to just bend the knee at your whim? Get used to it, because it’s going to get worse from here on out. No one is going to be putting up with the two of you and your outdated ways.
Richard Grant: Won’t be so outdated when our vision comes to fruition — and your ways will be done for.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Exactly. Dynasty is basically mine, and when it’s all said and done, the two of you are going to be kicked to the curb like the two miserable mutts you are—
(SMACK!!!)
Stew-O: OH! SLAP FROM DIAMOND! SLAP FROM DIAMOND! SHE’S HAD ENOUGH! SHE LUNGES AT KENSINGTEN!
Jake Mercer: BUT KENSINGTEN DOESN’T GO DOWN WITHOUT FIGHTING BACK! SHE THROWS SOME PUNCHES RIGHT BACK AT DIAMOND, AND THE TWO ARE BRAWLING INSIDE THE RING!
Flannery McCoy: Oh! But Richard and Tyrone come on in and separate the two! It’s hard as they’re just going to town, but both men are able to pry them off of each other!
Stew-O: They still want a piece of each other!! But Richard and Tyrone are keeping them at bay!
(Kensingten and Diamond are screaming and yelling at each other. Richard and Tyrone respectively restrain them.)
Jake Mercer: Oh boy. More fights are gonna break out tonight, huh?
Flannery McCoy: It’s Pain for Pride season. We shouldn’t expect anything less.
(With the chaos beginning to wind down, Dynasty fades.)
(A commercial plays for Pain for Pride, with the Jaded Hearts defending the Unified Tag Team Championships against British Invasion and NICHOLISM.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Lacrimosa – Epic Version’ by Samuel Kim hits the speakers of the arena as the crowd begins to cheer loudly, and Vincent Mondrian makes his way out onto the ramp. Looking focused and confident tonight, he makes his way down the ring looking for a fight.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Laren, Netherlands, weighing in at 205 pounds, he is THE ‘RESOLUTE!!!!’ VINCENTTTTTTTTTTTT MONDRIANNNNNNNNNNNNN!
(Then, ‘Walking on Sunshine’ by Katrina and The Waves would begin to hit as those cheers were almost instantly drowned out in favor of loud boos that you could hear clear as day, as of course, Ronan Malosi made his way out. With a positive attitude and ready for competition tonight, Ronan made his way down the ramp and took it all in with a smile on his face.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! From Cape Town, South Africa, weighing in at 250 pounds, RONANNNNNNNNNNNNNN MALOSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go! Singles action is now underway as Vincent Mondrian and Ronan Malosi! Both men begin to circle around the ring as they look to feel each other out here in the early going of this match, looking to see who it will be that makes the first move… but wait, is Ronan Malosi looking for a handshake to start this match? :comeagain:
Flannery McCoy: Well, that’s the Malosi Mindset for you, I guess. Start the match with some good sportsmanship, end the match with some good sportsmanship, but I don’t think Vincent is falling for that, not at all, actually, as he slaps the hand right away, and Ronan simply tries laughing it off, but Vincent immediately engages into a collar and elbow tie up!
Jake Mercer: Both men are fighting for the early control over this match, but it looks like it’s going to be Ronan who uses his strength advantage to get the upper hand over Vincent, pulling him over and into a side headlock, locking it in tightly as he keeps him trapped in the centre of the ring! But Vincent is fighting back, as he goes around and kicks Ronan in the knee.
Stew-O: Ronan falls down to a knee, and Vincent comes from behind because of it, bringing Ronan right back up and seizing in a nice waistlock to start! Ronan immediately begins to struggle from it, as he looks to send a back elbow into the face, but Vincent ducks out of the way, taking Ronan off of his feet and throwing him down into the mat with a wrestling takedown!
Flannery McCoy: Vincent slams Ronan down into the mat as Ronan falls hard, and Vincent is quick to drop down as he rolls Ronan over onto his back, and looking for a quick cover early on!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: But Ronan Malosi with a quick kick out, only for Vincent Mondrian to hold him back down as he goes for yet another cover to try and steal it!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: But Ronan once again kicks out at the count of one, and Vincent is going to hold him down as he grabs him by the arm, wrenching it in tightly and putting him in a swift arm bar early on in this match between these two Elitists here tonight! Ronan has nowhere for him to go as Vincent seizes it in deep.
Flannery McCoy: But Ronan is very close to the ropes and he is going to use that to his advantage, as he kicks himself over to them, and manages to get himself in the ropes and that is going to force the referee to pull Vincent off of, and resets this ongoing match. Ronan takes the time to catch a breather, getting back to his feet and backing into his corner once more, as we were back to square one.
Jake Mercer: You see, now that is what I call good strategy as Ronan manages to preserve his energy so early on in this match by using his surroundings to break away from that armbar by Vincent, and now Vincent is going to look for the attack once more, but Ronan ducks out of the way and he sends Vincent back into his corner, as he then catches him with a right hand to the jaw!
Stew-O: A right hand by Malosi that is quickly followed by a massive uppercut and just like that Ronan has found himself in control of this match, as he locks the wrist of Vincent, irish whipping him across the ring and into the corner on the other side of the ring, before rushing in, CATCHING VINCENT WITH A MASSIVE CLOTHESLINE, BUT VINCENT DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY OF IT!
Flannery McCoy: Vincent prevents that clothesline from happening right there as he gets out of the corner, rushing towards the ropes and bouncing off of them while Ronan stumbles out of the corner, AND VINCENT CATCHES HIM WITH A HUGE BIG BOOT TO THE ARM! Vincent just nailed that big boot with power behind it and Ronan is not in the best of positions whatsoever right now.
Jake Mercer: And Vincent is going to look to create an opening off of this, as he irish whips Ronan into the ropes, and Ronan bounces off, BUT HE CATCHES HIM WITH A SHOULDER BLOCK THAT SLAMS VINCENT BACK DOWN INTO THE MAT! Ronan once again uses his strength, and then drops down into the mat for an elbow drop!
Stew-O: But Vincent moves out of the way! Vincent moves out of the way that sends Ronan crashing back down into the mat, and Vincent looks to take advantage off of this right here as he swoops in and captures Ronan into a crucifix pinfall, once again looking to steal a win! Can Vincent get it here?!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: But Ronan kicks out once again, and he manages to float over and right into position, holding Vincent down and in the centre of the ring and he locks in tightly a grounded headlock that is going to keep Vincent right in his place and possibly slow down his momentum amongst this match!
Jake Mercer: Ronan Malosi is a veteran of the business, he knows what he is doing and he knows how to slow down the pace of a match when needed and that is exactly what he is doing right here, and I have no complaints here! It’s the perfect usage of such a rest hold that can truly put Vincent to rest if Ronan puts his full power and strength into it!
Stew-O: But Jake, I think Vincent is managing to combat that power that Ronan was putting into seizing his headlock, and he is using it to get back up to his feet, quite possibly dragging Ronan up with him, and Vincent might be looking to take advantage, AS HE MANAGES TO THEM UP TO THEIR FEET, AND HE COMES LIFTING RONAN UP INTO THE AIR FOR A BACK SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: But Ronan instantly begins to fight out of it with the elbows to the side of the skull and that forces Vincent to have to let go of him! Ronan crumbles back onto his feet as he turns his focus to Mondrian, pushing him into the ropes as Vincent bounces off, AND RONAN MALOSI TWISTS HIM AROUND INTO A TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER! VINCENT GOES DOWN AND RONAN COVERS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jake Mercer: Vincent Mondrian kicks out of the tilt-a-whirl backbreaker at the count of two, but look at Ronan Malosi, almost instantly going right back to work on the back as he rolls him over and locks in that grounded waistlock! There is no way that Vincent can possibly manage to fight out of this situation as of now.
Stew-O: Ronan is wrenching in that waistlock tight to, as he lifts himself up in the meantime and puts his knee, sticking it right into the lower spine of Vincent, letting go of his waist and using his arms to wrap around Vincent’s neck, and he pulls back on it! Ronan is trying to break Mondrian in half right here, and he might be able to do exactly that!
Flannery McCoy: But look at Vincent, Stew! He’s still fighting! He’s still trying his hardest to fight out of this predicament right now in spite of the pain and the agony that has been inflicted upon him already within this match, as he manages to get Ronan’s knee off of his back! He’s fighting out!
Jake Mercer: AND VINCENT IS GOING TO REACH OVER AND HOOK THE HEAD OF MALOSI, AS HE USES ALL OF THE POWER HE HAS TO SEND RONAN FLYING OVER HIM, AND RONAN GOES TUMBLING TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! Malosi just got sent flying through the bottom rope and to the outside of the ring as Vincent gets back to his feet, looking to take advantage of the situation!
Stew-O: And as Ronan started to slowly get back up to his feet on the outside of the ring, IN CAME VINCENT WHO SHOOTS OFF OF THE ROPES AND LOOKS FOR A MASSIVE SUICIDE DIVE TO CONNECT ONTO MALOSI RIGHT HERE-
Flannery McCoy: -CAUGHT! CAUGHT! CAUGHT! RONAN CAUGHT VINCENT OUT OF MID AIR BY THE THROAT! Vincent is trying to fight out of it, but Ronan is holding on, AND BRINGS HIM UP INTO THE AIR LOOKING TO SEND HIM DOWN ONTO THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING WITH A MASSIVE CHOKESLAM!
Jake Mercer: WAIT! Vincent just landed on the apron! Vincent lands feet first onto the apron and he manages to avoid the hardest part of the ring! Ronan can’t believe it and he swings right at him, but Vincent ducks, AND HE CATCHES RONAN WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!
Stew-O: Ronan is caught and Vincent is going to drop down, pushing Ronan back into the ring and follows suit! Vincent is looking to end this right here!
Flannery McCoy: Ronan tries to get back to his feet, but he stumbles back down and into the corner, WHERE VINCENT IS GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS, BOLTING FULL SPEED AHEAD, AND LEAPS INTO THE AIR FOR A HESITATION DROPKICK INTO THE CORNER!! ‘THE FLYING DUTCHMAN’ CONNECTS!
Jake Mercer: VINCENT DRAGS HIM INTO THE CENTRE FOR A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: BUT RONAN KICKS OUT OF IT IN THE NICK OF TIME!
Flannery McCoy: Ronan Malosi saved himself from defeat at the hand of Vincent Mondrian right there, and it seems like Vincent may have Ronan exactly where he wants him though, and he could finish this match off at any given time!
Jake Mercer: AND VINCENT MIGHT BE LOOKING TO DO EXACTLY THAT AS HE DROPS DOWN, LOOKING TO LOCK IN THE ‘MONDRIAN LOCK!’ VINCENT IS LOOKING TO LOCK IN THE ARM-TRAPPED CROSSFACE BUT RONAN ISN’T GOING TO ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN, ROLLING OVER AND PRESSING HIS BODY WEIGHT INTO VINCEN FOR THE COVER,AND RONAN MALOSI MIGHT FIND A WAY TO STEAL THE VICTORY RIGHT OFF OF THIS! RONAN MALOSI IS GOING TO STEAL IT RIGHT HERE!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: BUT VINCENT KICKS OUT AND SAVES HIS CHANCES! Both men roll away from each other as Vincent is quick to get back up to his feet, but he manages to get up before Ronan who only gets to his knees, AND VINCENT LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND STOMPS DOWN ONTO RONAN’S HANDS! RONAN LETS OUT A CRY OF AGONY, AND VINCENT LOOKS TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK, BUT RONAN DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY OF IT!
Flannery McCoy: Ronan ducks out of the way and he gets right back up to his feet, pushing Vincent back and into the ropes as Vincent rebounds off of them, AND RONAN CLUTCHES VINCENT, PULLING HIM RIGHT INTO THE ‘DEATH-RO!’ MALOSI GOES FOR THE ‘DEATH-RO’ BUT IT IS COUNTED BY VINCENT WHO FLIPS OUT OF IT! Vincent flips out of the hold and stomps down on Ronan’s foot, before hooking him FOR A BRAINBUSTER!
Jake Mercer: But Malosi is fighting out of it! Ronan Malosi is fighting out of it and he manages to transition around, and grabs a hold of Vincent by the head, hooking onto him tightly AND LIFTING HIM INTO THE AIR FOR WHAT IS TO BE A MASSIVE TOSS SUPLEX!
Stew-O: AND THAT SENDS VINCENT FLYING! Vincent goes flying across the ring and into the corner as he tries to get back up to his feet, and Ronan looks to run in for a clothesline, but Vincent catches him with a kick to the face! Vincent catches him with a kick to the face and jumps up onto the middle rope, LOOKING FOR A DIVING ATTACK BUT MALOSI CATCHES HIM! MALOSI LIFTS HIM UP AND CHOKESLAMS HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!
Flannery McCoy: AND VINCENT IS STILL ON HIS FEET BUT NOT FOR LONG, AS RONAN DRAGS HIM RIGHT INTO THE ‘DEATH-RO!’ THAT’S IT AND THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER! RONAN MALOSI!
(‘Walking on Sunshine’ hits the speakers once more to an explosion of boos as Ronan Malosi got back up to his feet, his positive demeanor coming right back at his arm was raised.)
Stew-O: Ronan Malosi picks up the victory here tonight! Vincent Mondrian put up a fight here tonight and there were a lot of spots where I as well thought it could be done, but in the end it just wasn’t enough to shatter the hopes and dreams of the Malosi Mindset.
Flannery McCoy: it was a valiant effort for Vincent but it just wasn’t meant to be, congratulations to Ronan Malosi on the victory here tonight!
(Ronan continued to celebrate his victory as Vincent was on the outside, disappointed in the outcome. Dynasty would then fade out from there.)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns to a shot of Pensacola Bay Center as the crowd is bustling in anticipation for what is to come. It’s not long after that ‘Duel of The Fates V2’ by Samuel Kim is heard blasting through the speakers of the arena, as the crowd roars for BRAE who is seen making his way out from the backstage area and to the stage. He has a nonchalant expression on his face as he adjusts the suit that he had on before then beginning to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… ‘THE IMPERIAL SYMPHONY’… BRAE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: These past couple of weeks have certainly been interesting pertaining to the Pain For Pride matchup between Michael Machina and BRAE for the New Breed Championship. While Machina has been deadset on becoming the longest-reigning Champion, BRAE has taken an entirely different approach to this, amping up everything about him to an entirely different plane and turning himself into a beast, that was shown last week with the words that he had to say toward Machina in the ring.
Flannery McCoy: Well we know who BRAE is as a competitor and we know the lengths that he’s willing to go to. In his first Pain For Pride Marquee Event and one of the most crucial matches of his entire career, he can’t afford to fail. He knows that if he loses here then everything that he set out to do will be for nothing while Machina reaps the benefits, so it’s safe to say that since this match was announced he has been a man on a mission.
Jake Mercer: Are we… going to acknowledge what’s going on inside of the ring?
(The camera pans over as the ring is revealed to be decorated in a very formal manner. There are two white caskets set next to one another along with a set of portraits above it. The crowd is partially confused by this as the pictures in particular are not revealed but still show their support for BRAE regardless.)
Stew-O: No.
Flannery McCoy: No.
(BRAE is seen making his way up the steps and onto the apron, as he looks out before entering the ring. His face grows a lot more serious as he heads over and steps up onto the podium that is situated in between the set of caskets. Then, clearing his throat as he adjusts the microphone, ‘Duel of The Fates V2’ then begins to fade out as BRAE, from there, begins to speak to the crowd.)
BRAE: Good evening, everyone, and I thank you for joining us today on this Friday evening. I know that everyone intends to enjoy the rest of Friday Night Dynasty here tonight, and I promise that I will not take up much of your time. I just wanted to come up here tonight and give a eulogy… for the fallen.
(BRAE turns everyone’s attention to the two portraits set up, which are revealed to be one of Rory Slate and one of Michael Machina as he’s seen pridefully holding the New Breed Championship. BRAE can only shake his head as he continues on from there.)
BRAE: Truly an unfortunate thing, nobody ever wants to mourn a loved one, especially on what is supposed to be a joyous occasion. With Pain For Pride coming up, the only thing that we want to do is celebrate. Celebrate all of our accomplishments this Season, and revel in everything that has happened in our careers. Why don’t I stand up here and talk about that? Well, sometimes you have to do things that you don’t like. You will have your moment where you stand up on this very podium and give your thoughts on such a tragedy like this, and that’s what makes us human. We are all human at the end of the day, and certain people need to come to terms with that. This leads me to my next discussion.
(BRAE turns over to look at the portrait of Rory Slate, along with the casket underneath it, as he shakes his head in disappointment.)
BRAE: Rory, it never needed to come to this. We never needed to reach the lengths that we did in what was meant to be seen as a fun, competitive match. But I’d like to believe after extensive thinking on the matter that this is something that you did to yourself. Your insolence, your naivety, your… foolishness, has brought us to this point. Which is why I did what I did during our match against one another a couple of weeks ago. That’s why I brutalized you, I desecrated you, I did so in the name of this great sport. You are a disgrace to everything that Elite Answers Wrestling stands for, you are a smear on our once-great name because we were foolish enough to believe in you. We were foolish enough to give you the world… only to receive nothing back. So I’d like to think that I did everyone a favor. I’d like to believe that my finally putting an end to this once and for all not only helped you… but helped your partner as well. Finally vindicated him, finally set him free, and gave him a reason to truly approach this match like one of the biggest of his career… instead of some sort of pitstop to bigger things. Which brings me to you, Michael Machina…
(BRAE then turns over and looks at the portrait of Michael Machina, before then turning over and starting at the hard camera that’s facing him. His face grows a lot more stern, with his eyes one with a furious passion behind them.)
BRAE: How truly unfortunate that it has gotten to this point. I know, wherever you are, you are fuming with rage. As you listen to me speak, you can’t help but feel a certain way toward it because when I do, I attack everything that you stand for. This ill-fated ‘New Breed of Legends’ narrative, where you stand ten toes down and believe that you’re this unstoppable deity. But words like that can only get you so far, Machina. Such baseless, meaningless claims can only mean so much against a man who sees through it all. I find it quite pathetic of you, and I am so disappointed that you would resort to such…trivial games with me. I am not a man that plays games, when I speak I mean every single word that I say. So when I say that Pain For Pride is going to be nothing short of a bloody massacre, do not laugh and look at my words as mere wishful thinking. You should be scared, because when I beat you within an inch of your life, and have the once dominant Michael Machina begging… pleading… for mercy, there will be nothing left of you to celebrate, ‘New Breed of Legends’.
(BRAE pauses for a moment, a deathly silence heard around the arena as he does before he continues to speak from there.)
BRAE: What I did to Rory Slate will be simple child’s play compared to what I do to you.
(BRAE takes a deep breath, the sharp exhale being heard through the microphone as he adjusts his suit.)
BRAE: I really wish that we would not have to have gotten to this point, but this is what you asked for. This is what you wanted and who am I not to give it to you? You wanted the best out of me and while you might have thought that to be such a miniscule thing, considering that’s a phrase so repeatedly said throughout this company, you are going to find that you end up getting so much more than that. These past couple of weeks I have done nothing but think about that New Breed Championship. In those quiet moments, my voice only grows louder, and it repeats this battle cry of passion, a want, a need, for everything to become a reality come Pain For Pride. Michael Machina, I am not in the business of giving guarantees like you are, I do not plan to force something for you to believe that you are unwilling to. When the sun sets on your New Breed Championship reign, you will not end as the longest reigning Champion as you may expect, but rather… a footnote. You have tried so hard to be remembered, and when it all crashes down, you will come face-to-face with your one true enemy, and it is not me… but rather the fear of being forgotten. I do hope they remember you Machina, because once I drag that title off your bloody, battered corpse…
(BRAE pauses in between what he has to say, before then uttering one more line.)
BRAE: You’ll have nothing left.
(The crowd can only murmur as BRAE stares intently into the camera. He then looks away, as if breaking some sort of trance, before stepping back and nodding his head.)
BRAE: Now, before we close this off, I would like to take the time to have a moment of silence… for the fallen… and the inevitable…
(BRAE bows his head as he slaps his hands together, as a moment of silence is then conducted here tonight on Dynasty. The crowd goes silent now, not out of respect for something that hasn’t even happened yet, but it’s clear that everything about this is… eerie. There are small murmurs throughout, but BRAE keeps his silence for an uncomfortable amount of time.)
(Well, that is before…)
Stew-O: MICHAEL MACHINA JUST SLID INTO THE RING, AND WHILE BRAE WASN’T LOOKING HE WIPED HIM OUT WITH A ‘BULLET FROM HELL’! MACHINA JUST SPEAR’D BRAE OFF OF THE PODIUM AND DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS AND HE’S FIRED UP!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE IS HURT AND MACHINA IS NOT WASTING ANY TIME TAKING A MICROPHONE, LOOKING TO GIVE HIS RESPONSE!
(Machina snatches the microphone from ringside as he looks down at BRAE with a sneer on his face while he does. BRAE is clutching his abdomen as he gives a cry of pain, while Machina from there begins to speak.)
Michael Machina: Fine motherfucker, you want to try and pull that shit with me? I can do that. You’re so quick to talk about how this isn’t a game for you, but the way that I see it you’re only proving to me that’s the case. You can besmirch me and try and run my name through the mud like you would do any other competitor, but we have established quickly that I am not just any competitor, I am THE competitor. I am better than every single person in this division by every single metric, and I have the right to say what I want to say and make it a guarantee simply because I am that damn good. You can do whatever the hell you want to do, BRAE, but the one thing you’re not going to do is make threats that you can’t back up. Pain For Pride is not going to be my end… it’s going to be YOUR END. And I’m going to make sure since you decided to get back up, that I finish the job once and for all. THAT is a PROMISE.
(Machina slams his microphone down onto the ground before taking his title and rolling out of the ring. ‘Apostle’s Warning’ by Mobb Deep begins to blast through the speakers as he makes his way up the ramp without even a second glance while BRAE is still recovering.)
Stew-O: A demanding statement made by the New Breed Champion tonight as even though BRAE’s words were cold and laced with malicious intent, he could give less of a damn what anyone thinks! He came in today and he handled business, and could this possibly be what we end up seeing at Pain For Pride?
Flannery McCoy: Well that only remains to be seen, because while Machina is a great competitor, no doubt about it, BRAE is as well. They could very well be on the same playing field which is not something that Machina wants, especially this close to Pain For Pride.
Jake Mercer: But I’d take a look at BRAE right now, he’s… laughing? :comeagain:
(BRAE is looking over at Machina while clutching his gut, and the only thing that he can do is manically laugh at this after being hit by the ‘Bullet From Hell’, with his words clearly hitting Machina hard. The New Breed Champion looks back from the stage toward the ring, simply scoffing as he exits to the backstage area while Friday Night Dynasty, from there, begins to fade out to elsewhere.)
(Dynasty would come back onto the air, as Drake Armstrong was seen at the commentary table along with Stew, Jake, and Flannery.)
Stew-O: …
Flannery McCoy: Welp.
Jake Mercer: IT’S AN HONOUR TO HAVE YOU HERE, DRAKE!
Drake Armstrong: Thank you, Jake. But it seems something is wrong with Stew and Flannery.
Stew-O: Nope. Not at all.
Flannery McCoy: Let’s just get to the match.
(The camera points to Stephie Love.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ by AFI hits the speakers of the arena to an explosion of cheers as Hans Grayson makes his way out onto the ramp looking focused tonight. He would begin to make his way down to the ring as the fans cheered him on.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, weighing in tonight at 219 pounds, he is ‘FIRE HEART!!!!’ HANSSSSSSSSSS GRAYSONNNNNNNNNNNNNN!
(‘Tupac Back’ by Meek Mill feat. Rick Ross would then hit the speakers as the crowd reacted with a more mixed response to Cy Henderson as he made his way out onto the ramp. He didn’t care much about the response, showing just how much it did not affect him whatsoever as he made his way down the ramp and to the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! From New York City, New York, weighing in at 240 pounds, he is THE ‘JUSTICE SEEKER!!!!!!!’ CYYYYYYYYYY HENDERSONNNNNNNNNNNN!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Drake Armstrong: Well, to say that it is very unpleasant the fact that I really must watch this match from the sidelines and commentate on it if anything in spite of the filth that will be wrestling around inside of the wrestling ring that I OWN, and I get to show my true greatness in, is an understatement. But nonetheless, how do you usually start matches like this, Stew?
Stew-O: Well if you could stay quiet for three seconds, I was about to talk about how this match between Cy Henderson and Hans Grayson is now officially underway! These two men are facing off for what is the first time in their careers in singles action, and we are going to start right away with a collar and elbow tie up as both men fight for the advantage!
Flannery McCoy: But Cy isn’t having any of it, as he pushes Hans back and sends him into the ropes, as Cy is showing the power game that is clearly behind him right here. Hans has to reset almost instantly, as he gets back up to his feet and dusts himself off, before going right back into it for another tie up, thinking smart this time around as he goes around for a waistlock!
Jake Mercer: And Cy is going to try and escape it as quickly as he possibly could, only for Hans to push him away, before slapping him right in the back of the head, completely paint brushing the Hall of Famer! The disrespect from Hans Grayson is showing here tonight! Off topic by the way, but Drake, let me speak for myself, when I say that it is truly amazing to be able to have someone such as yourself sitting here to commentate for tonight!
Drake Armstrong: At least someone can admire my company and just how special it truly is, considering the fact of the filth that had been placed inside of that very ring, against a ‘legend’ who I have already beaten before and the man who I am going to defeat at Pain for Pride. I mean come on, Hans just pulled Cyclone over into what is a very weak headlock and am I supposed to be impressed with any of this?
Stew-O: Well if you could actually pay attention to the match without trying to shit on either of these Elitists, you could also admire how talented that they really are, add in the fact that you’ve never beaten your Pain for Pride opponent in singles action before and truly, I believe you’re the problem here, Drake!-
Flannery McCoy: Stew, calm down. Let’s focus back on the action as Drake said, Hans has Cy locked in what is a tight headlock, keeping him in the centre of the ring, but Cy is going to manage his way out of it pretty quick as he wrapped his arm around the waist of Grayson, LIFTING HIM UP AND INTO THE AIR, BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN ONTO THE MAT WITH A BACK SUPLEX! HENDERSON ROLLS OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG LOOKING FOR THE VICTORY HERE!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jake Mercer: But Hans Grayson is quick to kick out of it at the mere count of one! If there is anything about Grayson, it’s that he isn’t going to go down easy and that is once more going to be on display here tonight, in a match against a man who is considered one of the best to ever do it in Cy Henderson. Drake, I was wondering how you have felt about this contest so far?
Drake Armstrong: It is coming very close to putting me into a deep slumber already, Jake. But I’m holding out and hoping that these two peasants can actually start making something happen and bring us some sort of joy to look forward to in this match. But as it stands right now, I don’t think it’s doing much for me.
Stew-O: I’m just going to completely ignore that idiotic comment and focus on the fact that Cy Henderson has taken the complete control over this match right now as he gets back up to his feet, and he pulls Hans Grayson up as well, AND HENDERSON IRISH WHIPS HIM AS HARD AS HE POSSIBLY CAN INTO THE CORNER AS GRAYSON’S CHEST CAVES RIGHT INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, FORCING HIM TO CRUMBLE!
Flannery McCoy: Hans Grayson crumbles instantly from the impact of his chest being impaled into the turnbuckles, as he tries to slowly get back up to his feet, but Cy Henderson is going to look to take advantage of the situation that has been given to him, as he runs off of the ropes, LOOKING FOR WHAT COULD BE A GRUELING CLOTHESLINE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD, BUT HANS MANAGES TO SENSE IT COMING AND HE DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY OF IT!
Jake Mercer: And Henderson goes stumbling into the ropes as he bounces off of them, only for Hans Grayson to come from behind and he leaps up into the air, with a dropkick to the back and that completely sends Henderson falling through the middle rope and to the outside floor! But Hans is very quick to follow shortly behind, rolling under the bottom rope as he grabs Cy, AND HE SENDS HIM INTO THE STEEL STEPS!
Drake Armstrong: As someone who can be considered amongst the cognoscenti of the career of Hans Grayson in EAW and watching him every step of the way as well as playing very huge parts in his career, the fact that he managed to duck that offencive move from Cyclone is very shocking to me. I thought he was usually a bit too mentally slow to see something like that coming. I would always see it coming from a mile away, however.
Stew-O: I’m sure you would, Drake. I’m sure you would. But the fact of the matter is that Hans Grayson has Cy Henderson exactly where he wants him at this point in time of this match up, as Cy stumbles to the other side of the steps, AND LOOK AT HANS GRAYSON, WHO TAKES A COUPLE OF STEPS BACK… BEFORE HE COMES RUSHING IN, LEAPING ONTO THE STEPS AND THEN LEAPING RIGHT OFF OF THEM!
Flannery McCoy: HOOKING ONTO CY AND TWISTING AROUND, PLANTING HIM WITH A HUGE TORNADO DDT OFF OF THE STEEL STEPS! THAT WAS A HUGE MOVE FROM HANS GRAYSON!
Jake Mercer: And Hans is going to pick up the dead weight of Cy Henderson, managing to push him into the ring as he follows suit and quickly hooks the leg, looking to win the match off of that alone! Can Hans Grayson pick up a huge win here tonight on Dynasty?
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Drake Armstrong: Of course and to the shock of absolutely nobody, Cyclone is going to kick out at the count of two from such a weak move that Hans Grayson had produced even with the extra impact that the outside mats would have brought to it. It goes to show just how weak and god awful the delivery of the former (and useless) New Breed Champion, and never-to-be Interwire Champion is compared to someone who has an actual victory over Cyclone (myself).
Stew-O: You’re really self-centered, Drake. You know that?
Flannery McCoy: Stew, don’t give into him!
Drake Armstrong: Self-centered and some have even called me a prick, Stew. I have heard it all before, and none of it affects me because why would it? I have better things to focus on much like you do, actually commentating this match. Unless you know I do a better job at this as well?
Jake Mercer: O-okay guys, back to the match!
Stew-O: Yeah, back to the match between these two world class athletes who have deserved the praise that they have been given amongst the EAW fanbase and the whole entire world for that matter based on their own talent and athleticism. Hans could tell just how close he was in that moment of being able to get a victory over such a Hall of Famer like Cy Henderson, and I’m sure he knows the advantage he needs to take in this moment.
Flannery McCoy: And he might be looking to take that, Stew, as Hans lifts Cy back up to his feet, only to throw him back down and into a seated position with a snapmare, and he shoots off of the ropes, GOING FOR A MASSIVE BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD OF HENDERSON, THIS COULD BE IT!
Jake Mercer: BUT HENDERSON CAUGHT HIM! HENDERSON CAUGHT HIM AND POPS HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! Hans Grayson is looking to fight off of Cy Henderson, but Cy is going to hold him still the whole time, AS HE THROWS HIM INTO THE AIR, BEFORE PLANTING HIM DOWN INTO THE MAT FOR A MASSIVE MICHINOKU DRIVER!!!
Drake Armstrong: And if I’m not mistaken, Cyclone himself calls that maneuver the ‘Phantom Death.’
Stew-O: You’re actually correct for once, Drake! AND THAT MIGHT BE IT, AS HENDERSON ROLLS OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG, SEIZING HIS MOMENT! AND THIS CAN BE IT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: HE KICKED OUT! HE KICKED OUT! Just barely was Hans Grayson able to kick out of the ‘Phantom Death’ at the count of two and this match stays alive, and Cy Henderson can’t even believe it! If I’m being honest, with a move as dangerous as that, I wouldn’t believe it either! But it’s like what Jake said about Hans earlier, the fight that Hans has honed amongst him is insane compared to the normal Elitist.
Jake Mercer: And the normal Elitist is already one of the strongest that the professional wrestling industry will ever see! But Hans Grayson is a different breed, and I mean, look at his whole New Breed Championship reign earlier in the season and how he managed to fight through all of those injuries… no offence to you, Drake.
Drake Armstrong: None taken, I know that people can get lost in what could be blindly perceived as stand out performances when we all know that they can’t hold a candle to what someone such as myself could do inside of that ring. But, we should focus on the action before Stew actually has a heart attack from having to listen to me speak for more than two minutes.
Stew-O: Thank you! Both Cy and Hans are slowly getting back to their feet, but Cy has the advantage right now, AND HE SHOWS IT WITH A POWERFUL FOREARM RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW OF GRAYSON THAT SENDS HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE MAT! There was no way that Hans was going to fight back against that with the amount of power that Henderson had put into it right then and there!
Flannery McCoy: And now, Cy is going to irish whip Hans into the corner, RUSHING IN AND CATCHING HIM WITH A HUGE CORNER CLOTHESLINE! I wonder what Henderson is thinking in this moment right now!
Jake Mercer: Well, we’re about to find out as Cy is going to poise Hans Grayson up and onto the top turnbuckle as he follows suit! Could Henderson be going for a superplex of sorts in this time of desperation for him in order to win a huge match on Friday Night Dynasty like this?!
Drake Armstrong: Of course someone as foolish as him will go for the ‘high risk receives high reward’ approach. It never works out, remember King of Elite?!
Stew-O: Well it may just work out here, AS CY IS TRYING TO LIFT HANS UP AND INTO THE AIR FOR A SUPERPLEX, BUT HANS IS FIGHTING AGAINST IT! HANS IS FIGHTING AGAINST IT WITH ALL OF HIS MIGHT AND… OH MY GOD!
Flannery McCoy: HANS GRAYSON LIFTS CY HENDERSON INTO THE AIR INSTEAD, AND HE LAUNCHES OFF OF THE TOP ROPE FOR A HUGE FISHERMEN’S SUPERPLEX!!!! THAT WAS INSANE!
Jake Mercer: BUT HANS ISN’T DONE! HE POPS UP TO HIS FEET WHILE CY WAS LAID OUT, AND SPRINGBOARDS INTO THE MIDDLE ROPE, FOR THE ‘FIRESAULT!!!’ IT CONNECTS!
Drake Armstrong: And Hans Grayson actually gets into the cover! Very slowly though, might I have to add there.
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: AND THOSE FEW SECONDS THAT HANS GRAYSON HAD WASTED RIGHT THERE MIGHT HAVE TAKEN HIS PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO GET A WIN THERE TONIGHT!
Drake Armstrong: Of course, I am not surprised in the slightest.
Flannery McCoy: But Hans Grayson had come very close there nonetheless! He almost had this match against the Hall of Famer won, and he might be looking to put an end to it right here, actually! He begins to get back up to his feet, but as does Cy… AND THE TWO MEN BEGIN TO TRADE STRIKES BACK AND FORTH! THE CROWD IS LOVING EVERY SECOND!
Jake Mercer: HENDERSON! GRAYSON! HENDERSON! GRAYSON! HENDERSON! GRAYSON! HENDERSON! GRAYSON! HENDERSON! GRAYSON! GRAYSON! GRAYSON! GRAYSON! HANS GRAYSON IS GETTING THE OPENING… BUT CY HENDERSON CATCHES HIM WITH A ROLLING ELBOW TO THE JAW!
Stew-O: BUT HANS TWISTS AROUND AND HE CATCHES CY HENDERSON WITH A HUGE PELE KICK TO THE FACE, AND CY CRUMBLES TO THE GROUND AND HE MAY BE OUT LIKE A LIGHT! The referee immediately begins to check on Cy Henderson, but Hans Grayson might be looking to end this match right here! He rolls out to the apron!
(As Hans Grayson did this, Drake Armstrong would then take his headset off as he stood up from the table.)
Flannery McCoy: Drake, what are you doing?!
Drake Armstrong: Taking care of business.
Stew-O: OH THIS PRICK! HE’S GOING TO DO IT AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE ARMSTRONG HAS JUST LEFT OUR TABLE BUT IT MAY NOT MATTER, AS HANS GRAYSON WAS POISED TO STRIKE!\
Jake Mercer: AND HE LOOKS TO LEAP INTO THE RING WITH THE ‘BURNING SHOT LARIAT!!!’
(… … …)
Stew-O: OH COME ON! DRAKE IS AT IT AGAIN! HE GRABS HANS BY THE FOOT AND HE IS PREVENTING HIM FROM GETTING INTO THE RING WHILE THE REFEREE WAS FOCUSED ON CY HENDERSON—
Flannery McCoy: WAIT HANS SAW IT COMING THIS TIME! HANS INSTANTLY KICKS DRAKE AWAY AND HE MANAGES TO KNOCK HIM DOWN! DRAKE GOES DOWN!
Stew-O: YEAH! THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HE GETS!
Jake Mercer: AND HANS SLINGSHOTS INTO THE RING AND HE TAKES CY’S HEAD OFF WITH THE ‘BURNING SHOT LARIAT!!!!’ IT CONNECTS! IT CONNECTS!
Stew-O: HANS GOES INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(… … …)
(… … …)
(… … …)
Stew-O: You have gotta be kidding me…
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE PULLED THE REFEREE OUT OF THE RING! DRAKE JUST PULLED THE REFEREE OUT OF THE RING, COME ON! THAT’S A DISQUALIFICATION!
Jake Mercer: But Drake is preventing the referee from calling the bell while Hans looks pissed off… AND HE RUNS OFF OF THE ROPES, TAKING DRAKE DOWN WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK! Drake goes down but… wait… CY HENDERSON IS BACK UP!
Stew-O: OH COME ON!
Flannery McCoy: AND HANS TURNS AROUND… RIGHT INTO CY AND ONTO HIS SHOULDERS, UP AND DOWN WITH THE ‘RISING TIDE!’ BURNING HAMMER CONNECTS AND CY HENDERSON SLIDES OVER AND INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER! CYYYYYYYYYY HENDERSONNNNNNNNNNNN!
(‘Tupac Back’ would hit the speakers once more as the crowd booed loudly at the way that the match had just come to an end. Cy Henderson would get back up to his feet, unknowing of what happened as he had his arm raised high into the air by the referee in victory.)
Stew-O: OH COME ON! DRAKE ARMSTRONG JUST SCREWED HANS GRAYSON AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: Drake Armstrong has found way after way in recent weeks to screw Hans Grayson out of a victory and it was no different this week! But you can’t take away from Cy Henderson nonetheless, as he picked up a massive victory here tonight, and so, congratulations to The ‘Justice Seeker’ himself!
(Drake was handed the Interwire Championship as he made his way up the ramp again, Hans Grayson was seated in the corner disappointed as Drake taunted him while Cy Henderson continued his celebration. Dynasty would fade out from there.)
(A commercial plays for Pain for Pride, where Drake Armstrong defends the EAW Interwire Championship against Hans Grayson.)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns to a shot of The Pensacola Bay Center as the sounds of ‘2024’ by Playboi Carti are heard blasting through the speakers of the arena. The crowd roars as the camera then goes over to show the King of Elite as Joso is seen making his way out from the backstage area and toward the stage. He has a relatively serious look on his face as it’s clear that he means business after everything that has happened between him and his future Pain For Pride opponent leading up to this week, he then begins to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… the 2024 KING OF ELITE WINNER!!!!!!!!!! ‘THE NEW ERA’… JOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Pain For Pride gets closer and closer by the week and while that happens, so does Joso’s opportunity at possibly getting the biggest win of his career. We’ve heard what the two opponents, himself and Impact, have had to say to one another, and it’s safe to say that things got heated last week in their massive six-man tag team match.
Flannery McCoy: The team of Michael Machina, Joso, and Hans Grayson would come out on top over Methuselah, Jamie O’Hara, and Impact, but that wasn’t before complete chaos spewed out all around. Most importantly, Joso and Impact would get into a brawl that would lead them into the crowd and away from the scene, with them not being factored into the result of the match at all.
Jake Mercer: I’m sure that’s something that Joso is going to take very personally, but he needs to realize the man he’s across the ring with isn’t just any man! That is pound for pound (metaphorically and literally) one of the best Elitists that this company has to offer! He’s fighting a very tall task going up against him!
(Joso makes his way up the steel steps and onto the apron before entering into the ring. He then climbs up the ropes as he poses while the crowd continues to show their support for him. From there, ‘2024’ begins to come to a close and Joso makes his way over to take a microphone from the ringside area. After some time, with the crowd beginning to quiet down, he then begins to speak from there.)
Joso: Alright, so I guess I gotta address what happened between me and Impact last week. While some people may look at it as rash, sporadic, and unprofessional of me, frankly, I don’t see much of a problem with it. Karl wanted to run his mouth, and he found himself paying the price for it. I gave him a little receipt for everything that happened between the two of us and if he has taken offense to that in some sort of way… then he should have seen it coming. I wanted the smoke with him the moment that I challenged him to come out of hiding and face me at Pain For Pride, and now I’m going to make sure that I’m the one that sees through everything that I’ve been saying these past couple of weeks. Because you see, while by some technicality I did get a win over him on Dynasty thanks to my team, I think you can easily say that I’m not satisfied by that just yet. I’m not just going to stand here and say that I’ve beaten Impact because I haven’t truly beaten Impact yet. But that’s fine, that’s all well and good. Luckily our match is finally coming around, and I’m going to make sure that once that bell rings and all of the talking is over, I finish the job.
(The crowd reacts loudly as Joso nods his head before he continues.)
Joso: Impact can say what he wants when he wants, he needs to understand that I didn’t just press him to make a match with me for no reason. Nah, I know exactly what the fuck I’m doing. I know that if I want to become the next World Champion in this company, if I want to prove everything that I have said not just these past couple of weeks but the entire Season, then I am going to have to get past Impact. I am not going to have a choice but to beat Impact, and that’s something that I plan to do. He must think that all the years of experience and the #10Reignz that he so desperately clings to are going to help him out, but he’ll realize soon enough that’s just not the case. He hasn’t faced anyone like me in his career, and whether he likes it or not once this Season is over he is going to have to respect me, something that he has not given me this entire time since his return. Some people have told me that this is a death wish, that I’m asking for too much and it’s not what I want. But I’ve been here before, even while having this crown over my head I have faced a top-tier level of talent because that’s what I’m here for. Once again, I’m not looking to stagnate, I’m not looking to sit on my hands and do nothing, I want to make sure that without a shadow of a doubt, it is known that I am the next best thing here in this company. You don’t have to like it, but you sure as hell have to-
(Inevitable, Joso is quickly interrupted by the sounds of ‘M3tamorphosis’ by Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi beginning to blast through the speakers. The camera goes over to reveal Impact as he’s seen making his way out from the backstage area and toward the stage. He has a smirk on his face as he looks around at the hyped-up crowd here tonight, before, from there, beginning to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stew-O: Well we felt this confrontation was only inevitable, Impact is making his way out to the ring tonight and it seems like he has something in mind in response to everything that Joso has said making his way out to the ring. Impact, of course, has been insistent on saying that Pain For Pride is just going to be another day for him, and facing the likes of Joso is nothing special compared to everything that he’s done.
Flannery McCoy: Impact has more than earned that right, which is something that you can’t deny whatsoever. He’s always a man on a mission and that is much of the case as he walks into Pain For Pride this Season. I don’t think Joso is very receptive to that, but I guess we’re going to have to wait and see what happens.
Jake Mercer: Well Impact isn’t very receptive to what Joso is saying either! But to be fair, isn’t that the fundamental basis for every conflict here in EAW? 🤔#JustSaying
(Impact makes his way up the steps and onto the apron, as he eyes Joso for a moment before entering the ring and heading over to take a microphone from the ringside area. ‘M3tamorphosis’ then begins to come to a close from there. Then, bringing the microphone up to his mouth, he begins to speak.)
Impact: You’re a funny guy, aren’t you? Joso, you’re always the entertainer, but never able to back it up when he counts. Tell me, why should I stand here, as decorated as I am, as decorated as you say I am, and be… intimidated… by you? That doesn’t make any sense, by no metric are you even physically close to me, but I’m not going to hold that against you either. So many times before have I seen people try and challenge me, Y2Impact, and most of the time find themselves unsuccessful in their actions. They’ve said the same things that you said, in a very ironic manner, as a way to set themselves apart from the rest of the pack. It’s quite a foolish move, but one even more foolish was to give me a match last week on Dynasty like they did. I’ll admit, if I walked into Pain For Pride with it being the first match that I had in over a year against you, yes, there would be some doubt setting in. But not only would that be too small of an issue to take advantage of, but also it doesn’t fucking matter now. I’ve proven no matter the year, no matter the generation, I am still the top-tier Elitist that I’ve always promised to be. I am still the Quintessential Champ and most importantly, I make stars out of people. So many times in history have I done that and you are no exception. I am going to make you better, and you shouldn’t complain, because that’s exactly what you want, right? You want to capitalize off of me and that’s fine, once again, it’s nothing new. With you having that King of Elite you are guaranteed a future World Championship opportunity, and you said yourself that you want to be ready for that. Well Joso, you’re welcome.
Joso: Nah, that’s bullshit. I don’t have you to thank for anything. I don’t care what rock you crawled out of that’s going to make you think that you’re anywhere near that type of Elitist anymore, but you’re not. You’re not going to make me “better” when I already have the tools to do that. You’re not going to have me thank you for doing something that I already knew that I could do. It’s all about building my resume and beating you is going to do that, I’m already built, I don’t need you like you say I do.
Impact: That’s funny, because the last I checked, you do. See, I think it goes without saying that I am a once-in-a-generation talent, but while that might be the case for me, you yourself have drawn a lot of comparisons considering the success that you’ve gotten and now our affiliation with one another through our match… I don’t think that you’re a “model Elitist”.
Joso: Shut the fuck up with that shit.
Impact: It’s true! I don’t! I don’t look at you as someone who is going to stick around and live up to expectations, but rather you have been bred to fail just like everyone thought you to. Truth hurts, but you can either accept it now or find out later.
Joso: I don’t believe that shit for a second. You may think that’s the case and that may be what you want to believe, but I know my worth, and I know that it doesn’t mean much what you have to say to me especially when you haven’t seen HALF of what I have to offer, especially this Season.
Impact: What I see in front of me tells the entire story. I don’t need an entire Season to extensively watch over your footage to see the type of mold that you’re cut from because simply, I’ve seen every mold. I have this experience that I draw from that you acknowledged yourself. You just don’t have it, and maybe you can prove me wrong, but that’s highly unlikely. Shit, if there’s one thing I do know though, there’s a reason why Angelo Carter, your friend, failed to make it around here. You two are cut from the same cloth, one of you just figured out how to prolong the inevitable before it’s too late-
(Joso is quick to shove Impact backward as he quickly gets in his face.)
Joso: The last thing that you’re going to do is try and bring up shit from my past like it fucking matters, Impact. I don’t give a fuck about Angelo and you have no right to bring him up. I dare you, fucking try me.
(Impact chuckles as he lowers his microphone.)
Impact: (Off-Mic) Cut a little too deep there, huh? That’s what I thought.
(Impact lightly pushes Joso away as he shakes his head, not bothered by the attempt.)
Stew-O: JOSO JUST LUNGED AT IMPACT AND IS TRYING TO ATTACK HIM!
Flannery McCoy: BUT IMPACT IS ALREADY OUT OF THE RING! IMPACT DIDN’T SEE IT AND FRANKLY, HE WASN’T BOTHERED, HE WAS ALREADY LEAVING, AND LOOK AT JOSO’S FACE! HE’S FUMING!
(Joso is yelling at him to get back inside of the ring but Impact shakes his head, looking back at him with a small smirk, taking his trash talk as nothing more than minuscule blabber as he heads up the ramp.)
Jake Mercer: Look at that, effortless by the Quintessential Champion!
Stew-O: Well it’s safe to say that Impact has struck a nerve here with Joso tonight, and we were close to a fight but it doesn’t seem like Impact was very bothered by what the King of Elite had to say or do either.
Flannery McCoy: It’s going to be a tall task for Joso, but the last thing he needs to do is let his temper get the better of him here and that’s almost what happened. In the biggest match of his career, he’s going to be at his best and Impact is going to do whatever he can to try and chop away at that.
(The last shot seen is Impact disappearing through the backstage area while Joso is fuming from inside of the ring, all while Friday Night Dynasty, from there, begins to fade out to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for Easy Bake Oven.)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns to a shot of the Pensacola Bay Center as the sounds of ‘True Love’ by CFO$ are heard blasting through the speakers of the arena. The crowd roars in approval as the camera goes to reveal the Unified Tag Team Champions, Kassidy Heart and Sienna Jade of The Jaded Hearts, as they are seen making their way out to the stage. They have relatively serious expressions painted over them as they make their entrance, but they show their usual confidence here tonight as they make their way down the ramp and toward the ring from there.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… they are the EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!! KASSIDY HEART AND SIENNA JADE… THE JADED HEARTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well it’s certainly been an eventful couple of weeks for The Jaded Hearts. We initially thought that their Unified Tag Team Championship defense against British Invasion was set in stone for Pain For Pride, but as we saw on Showdown, that wasn’t the case. NICHOLISM made their way out to the ring and they were looking to get a rematch for the titles that they lost at Fighting Spirit. After some back and forth, the other parties accepted and it was turned into a triple-threat tag team matchup.
Flannery McCoy: That certainly poses a new challenger for Kassidy and Sienna that they didn’t anticipate, but it’s nothing new for them either. They’ve been in this environment before, they’ve held the Tag Titles plenty of times in the past to know the type of competition that is going to come around. They have already beaten one of the teams in this match, and all it takes is going through with everything that they promised come Pain For Pride.
Jake Mercer: Can they do it? We’re just going to have to see. All I know is NICHOLISM being added definitely fucked up my parlay.
(The Jaded Hearts make their way into the ring as Sienna makes her way over and takes microphones for both herself and Kassidy while ‘True Love’, from there, begins to come to a close. Then, they begin to speak.)
Kassidy Heart: I wish I could say last week struck some sort of fear into me, one that I’ve never felt before considering I’m fucking perfect in every facet and have no need to. But I’m not going to lie to you, and I’m sure I’m not the only one, NICHOLISM being added into this match doesn’t change anything. I hate to be that person who just states the obvious, but I think you get the gist here. Alex and Ruler have signed yet another death warrant as they cluelessly walk into their doom against a team that is clearly head and shoulders above them. I have no reason to concern myself with them and I hoped that by beating them with a bullet at Fighting Spirit would be the end of it all, how foolish of me to assume their stubbornness wouldn’t also equate to outright stupidity.
Sienna Jade: British Invasion never stood a chance, and adding NICHOLISM into the equation is, as Kassidy said, not much of a difference maker, at least like they want it to be. I know all of them are just so eager to get their hands on these Championships, and that might’ve happened under any scenario. But it’s as we said countlessly, The Jaded Hearts with something to lose at Pain For Pride? You best believe we’re not going to fuck up like they want us to. I don’t care what you have to say, I don’t care who has anything to say about it either, when it comes down to it there is only one tag team that is quite simply the best and I don’t think we need to say who it is out of the three of us in this match.
Kassidy Heart: We’ve played this same song and dance over and over again, and I’m not going to lie to you, Sienna, I’m pretty fucking ready to end this. NICHOLISM along with British Invasion are gunna realize that we’re the last team that you’re going to want to fuck with. For so long now we’ve had to deal with disrespect after disrespect simply because this tag team division is filled with envious dumbasses who want to wish the worse for us in a world where they seem to get everything that they want. I don’t care who the fuck you think you are or where the fuck you’re coming from out of the three brands in this company, The Jaded Hearts trump all and I hope that Pain For Pride puts an end to all of the speculation surrounding us.
Sienna Jade: And I think the last thing that we need to hear is-
(Sienna is quickly interrupted by the sounds of ‘Refuse/Resist’ by Sepultura which begin to blast through the speakers to the boos of the crowd. The camera goes over to reveal British Invasion, Halsey Neel and Pandora Paisley, as they are seen making their way out to the stage. They have smirks on both of their faces as they look into the ring and eye the Tag Champions before then beginning to make their way down the ramp.)
Stew-O: Well it looks like another team has something to say, as British Invasion is here tonight on Dynasty. They were also very open to the challenge that was put out there by NICHOLISM for the titles and now it seems they want to make themselves known to the Champions once again.
Flannery McCoy: Well it’s certainly a tense environment, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the last team not out here tonight decides to make an appearance at some point down the line. But right now British Invasion clearly have something to say.
Jake Mercer: Can I be Gavin for the evening?
Flannery McCoy: No.
(British Invasion is seen making their way into the ring as they go ahead and take microphones for themselves as well. ‘Refuse/Resist’ is then seen beginning to come to a close as Halsey and Pandora begin to approach The Jaded Hearts, and it’s not long before they begin to speak.)
Pandora Paisley: That’s very cute what you had to say. Kassidy, darling, do you really think that there’s nobody on The Jaded Hearts’ level? So much so that you want to act so aggressively toward us when we have more than proven that we have earned our opportunity in this company? No, we’re not going to stand for that. If you really think that this is going to be it for us just because you said so, then you thought wrong.
Halsey Neel: We’re not intimidated by the thought of The Jaded Hearts at all, and if anybody thinks that then they’re stupider than they look, especially the two of you. From the very beginning, our mission has been simple, and we don’t care who is waiting for us if it was NICHOLISM or the two of you, we were going to do everything in our power to make sure that we moved past them and get what we feel that we deserve. At Pain For Pride, no matter the number of opponents gunning for us, British Invasion is still going to prosper, we promise that.
Kassidy Heart: Yeah, that’s really intimidating, you certainly got us. Let me make one thing clear, I don’t care what the two of you “want” in this company. It doesn’t really matter to the two of us if you feel that you deserve it over us, we really could not give a shit. We’ve tasted defeat as a team before, we’re not afraid to admit that, but at the same time, it’s going to take a lot more than mere baseless claims to get the job done.
Sienna Jade: Yeah, I don’t know who the fuck the two of you think you are, but we’re really not buying this. You can say what you want to say, but maybe when the time comes for you to actually back it up, you won’t choke like you have all the other times before. There’s a reason that we were more than happy to accept your challenge, and we’d do the same for NICHOLISM because we know we can win, nothing more needs to be said about that.
Pandora Paisley: Oh really? Then how about we give you some harsh realities… shall we?
(Pandora and Halsey look toward one another as Kassidy rolls her eyes and Sienna shakes her head. It’s not long before British Invasion continues from there.)
Halsey Neel: We see through The Jaded Hearts, and what we see behind this dominant tag team is nothing more than a vanity side project designed for the sheer purpose of stat-padding and propping up your overrated legacies. You can say that these titles mean a lot to you and you’re going to do whatever you can to defend them, but I think we both know deep down that neither of your hearts are truly in this.
Pandora Paisley: We’ll give you two the credit that you deserve if it’s really going to stroke your egos, you’re both Hall of Famers and undoubtedly a lovely pair of all-time greats. You’re both former World Champions in your own right who have had their fair share of Pain For Pride main events, and all you’ve done is talk down on your opponents as if you’re all too above this. Specifically you… Kassidy Heart.
(British Invasion turns and eyes Kassidy who has her arms crossed, it’s clear that she’s not amused at all with the stunt that they’re trying to pull.)
Halsey Neel: Look, deep down, we know that you’re fuming at the situation that you’ve been put in at this year’s Pain For Pride. We know that you’re fuming at the prospect of Milli Banks and Hikari Kanno doing what you have yet to do at this point and that’s defeating Minerva for the Universal Women’s Championship, we know THAT’S what drives you crazy. You have been in a Pain For Pride main event damn near every year and look where you are now. Now, you’re stuck doing this, having to defend these titles when you could be doing so much more… how the mighty have fallen.
Pandora Paisley: We know it just as much as you do along with everyone else… you’re unhappy. You’re unhappy deep down inside and you look at this little run as The Jaded Hearts and your stupid little reunion tour as more of a detriment that is holding you back at this point than something that is helping you. And sooner rather than later, we are going to stop letting you two pretend that this little run is doing anything for anybody. At Pain For Pride, we’re going to do both of you favors by putting you out of your misery and walking away with the very titles that have cursed you from the very beginning.
(The crowd is silent in intrigue as Kassidy and Sienna both look toward one another and shake their heads. It’s not long before they start to smirk and laugh this off, clearly not taking any of this seriously.)
Sienna Jade: OMG KASSIPOO, THEY EXPOSED US! THEY FOUND US OUT! HOW ARE WE GOING TO MOVE ON NOW KNOWING THAT THEY’VE UNCOVERED OUR MOTIVES???
Kassidy Heart: Nice try, truly, but I don’t think you understand the full optics of the situation if this is the approach that you want to take. Our goals aren’t to benefit anybody or anything but ourselves. So if the tag team division as a whole has to get buried at the expense of The Jaded Hearts, then the tag team division is going to get buried, we really don’t give a shit. We have goals together and we have goals separately and we’ll get to all of that in due time, but we know how to focus on the task at hand, and right now the task is to retain at Pain For Pride and continue to solidify The Jaded Hearts as the greatest tag team of all time.
Sienna Jade: I can speak for Kassidy when I say that she really doesn’t give a fuck about whatever is around her. Whether it’s Minerva, Hikari Kanno, Milli Banks, or whatever other flavor of the month happens to pop up from the woodwork, they can have their moments for now…
Kassidy Heart: But we sleep more than well knowing that they’ll never match the two of us individually or together, and neither will you or NICHOLISM at Pain For Pride.
(The Jaded Hearts approach British Invasion as it’s clear the tension in the air is palpable right now. The two teams start arguing off mic and it starts to get heated, at least that is until…)
(CRACK!)
(CRACK!)
Stew-O: OH! FROM BEHIND! TWO PEOPLE JUST ATTACKED THE JADED HEARTS AND BRITISH INVASION WITH STEEL CHAIRS! AND I THINK WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE!
Flannery McCoy: NICHOLISM JUST GOT THE JUMP ON THE TWO OTHER TEAMS IN THE TAG TITLE MATCH AND NOW THEY’RE BEATING THEM DOWN! THEY’RE SHOWING ABSOLUTELY NO MERCY RIGHT NOW AS THEY LAY WASTE TO BRITISH INVASION AND THE JADED HEARTS! BOTH TEAMS WERE CAUGHT OFF GUARD AND NOW THEY’RE DEFENSELESS AS THEY CONTINUE TO BATTER THEM WITH CHAIRS1
Jake Mercer: BUT SECURITY IS QUICK TO RUSH IN AND USHER ALEX AND RULER OUT OF THERE! AS THEY STOP THEIR ATTACK! THE TWO OTHER TEAMS ARE TRYING TO GET BACK UP TO THEIR FEET AND RETALIATE, BUT NICHOLISM HAS ALREADY ROLLED OUT OF THE RING AS THEY’RE BEING ESCORTED TO THE BACK! WHAT A STATEMENT MADE HERE TONIGHT BY THE FORMER TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!
(NICHOLISM are seen with satisfied looks on their faces as the recovering Jaded Hearts and British Invasion are both seen yelling, trying to get their hands on them, but they’re being held back by security while also being checked on by officials. It’s the last shot seen before Friday Night Dynasty from there begins to fade out to elsewhere.)
(A commercial plays for Dove.)
(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘Number One’ by Shirō Sagisu & Hazel Fernandes plays to a LOUD reaction from fans as Limmy makes his way onto the stage, soaking in the reaction briefly before sauntering down to the ring, high fiving a few fans along the way. All the while, Limmy has a mostly stoic expression on his face, exuding confidence and focus ahead of this encounter with SOSA.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! Residing out of Golden Beach, Florida, weighing in at 227 pounds…HE IS THE CZAR…LIMMY MONAGHAN!!
(“Faneto” by Chief Keef blares throughout the arena to a more mixed reaction from fans, and SOSA Henderson saunters down the ramp, occasionally glaring at the fans, but staring Cody down in the ring as he does so, focus etched across his face.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent! Hailing out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 191 pounds…HE IS BULLETPROOF…SOSA HENDERSON!
(Both competitors stare one another down from opposing corners as the referee signals the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Big fight feel surrounding this match as both SOSA Henderson and Limmy Monaghan circle one another. The crowd is electric, and neither have done a single move yet.
Jake Mercer: That’s simply the AURA of Limmy Monaghan rubbing off on SOSA Henderson too!
Stew-O: You do realize that SOSA Henderson is an EAW Hall of Famer, right? :comeagain:
Jake Mercer: You do realize he’s in there with THE CZAR, correct??
Stew-O: :kyrie:
Flannery McCoy: :wow: Anyways… SOSA Henderson and Limmy Monaghan meet in the middle with a collar and elbow tie-up! Jockey for position takes place, both men battling for control, but SOSA manages to back Limmy Monaghan up against the ropes, and keeps him pinned there as the referee intervenes, starting his five count!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Stew-O: Clean break from both men as SOSA Henderson backs to the center of the ring. Limmy circles SOSA like a shark before, once again, the two engage in another collar and elbow tie-up! SOSA gets the upper hand with a standing side headlock, grounding Limmy with a side headlock takedown! But Limmy has an answer, quickly rolling SOSA onto both shoulders for a cover!
ONNNNNN-
Jake Mercer: Unfortunately, not even a one count as SOSA Henderson resumes control in that grounded side headlock before Limmy Monaghan powers back to a vertical base!
Flannery McCoy: Limmy bounces SOSA off the ropes to escape, and SOSA rebounds back with SHOULDER TACKLE! However, both men wind up COLLIDING as Limmy Monaghan was thinking the same thing. Neither man leaves their feet, despite the collision, and stare each other down, finding themselves at a stalemate early on.
Stew-O: Both men start to lock hands, looking for a test of strength, but SOSA slips behind Limmy for a rear waistlock. Limmy counters with a nice go behind, slipping SOSA for a rear waistlock of his own. But there’s SOSA with a go behind of his own, regaining the upper hand. Limmy starts to pry SOSA’s hands apart, and wrings his left arm before transitioning into a side headlock takedown!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA escapes with a grounded headscissors, and Limmy kicks out of it, scrambling back to his feet, along with SOSA! BOTH COMPETITORS RUSH TOWARD EACH OTHER- BUT LIMMY DASHED RIGHT INTO A SIDE HEADLOCK TAKEDOWN FROM
SOSA! BUT USING HIS OWN COUNTER AGAINST HIM, LIMMY QUICKLY ESCAPES WITH A GROUNDED HEADSCISSORS AS WELL!
Stew-O: SOSA KICKS OUT OF IT, AND BOTH COMPETITORS SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET, NEITHER RUSHING TOWARD THE OTHER, WHICH IS HONESTLY A SMART MOVE AT THIS POINT!
Jake Mercer: Despite being in there with a Hall of Famer, Limmy is showing that he’s a FUTURE one himself, being equally matched early on.
Flannery McCoy: Both men circle each other before attempting another collar and elbow tie-up, but SOSA had outwitted Monaghan there, slipping behind him for a rear waistlock! SOSA delivers a FOREARM to the lower back before irish whipping Limmy towards the ropes, BUT LIMMY TURNS IT AROUND AT THE LAST MINUTE, SENDING SOSA TOWARD THE ROPES INSTEAD!
Stew-O: LEAPFROG BY LIMMY MONAGHAN! FOLLOWED BY A DROPDOWN! AND SOSA GETS ULTIMATELY FLOORED WITH A PICTURE PERFECT DROPKICK AS LIMMY MONAGHAN POPPED BACK TO HIS FEET!
Jake Mercer: THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT!! THATS WHY HES THE GOAT!! THE GOAT!!
Stew-O: Jeez, don’t let Andre Walker hear you.
Jake Mercer: NO, WAIT! I TAKE THAT BACK! ANDRE, IF YOURE WATCHING THIS, I TAKE THAT BACK! :whoa:
Stew-O: SOSA is quickly back to his feet, and staggers to the corner. LIMMY CHARGES IN- BUT SOSA SLITHERS THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE OUT TO THE APRON, AND LIMMY HALTS HIMSELF FROM COLLIDING STERNUM FIRST WITH THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, BUT DOES IT A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZIGURI FROM SOSA!
Flannery McCoy: LIMMY SPINS AROUND AS A RESULT, AND STAGGERS TO THE CENTER BEFORE DROPPING TO A KNEE! SOSA enters the ring, approaching Monaghan- BUT LIMMY WAS PLAYING POSSUM FOR A JAWBREAKER! SOSA STAGGERS BACK, AND AFTER A CHOP TO THE CHEST, GETS IRISH WHIPPED OFF THE ROPES BY MONAGHAN!
Stew-O: HENDERSON REVERSES THE IRISH WHIP, SENDING MONAGHAN TOWARDS THE ROPES INSTEAD, AND DUCKING DOWN FOR A BACK BODY DROP- BUT LIMMY SEES IT COMING, AND COUNTERS WITH A SUNSET FLIP! SOSA ROLLS THROUGH TO A VERTICAL BASE, AND DELIVERS A FRONT DROPKICK RIGHT TO THE FACE!
Jake Mercer: LIMMY ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE, AND SOSA RUNS OFF THE ROPES, BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR A- YES! LIMMY MONAGHAN SLID IN THE RING, AND BROUGHT SOSA’S MOMENTUM TO COMPLETE STOP, USING A RUNNING BACK ELBOW TO DO IT!
Flannery McCoy: Limmy lifts SOSA back to his feet, and plants him with a SNAP suplex, floating over into the cover!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: Two count! But notice that Limmy isn’t losing his cool, and instead, maintaining it, probably having realized beforehand that suplex wasn’t going to keep SOSA down for long. No, but kicking out will make SOSA exert energy, and I think that’s exactly what Limmy Monaghan wants.
Stew-O: Limmy tries pulling SOSA back to his feet- BUT SOSA EXPLODES WITH A FOREARM, SHOWING HES STILL GOT FIGHT LEFT! SOSA BACKS LIMMY INTO THE CORNER WITH MULTIPLE FOREARMS BEFORE AN IRISH WHIP TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER! SOSA RUSHES IN- BUT LIMMY GETS THE BOOT UP, KICKING OFF SOSA, GOING UP AND OVER THE TOP OUT TO THE APRON!
Jake Mercer: SOSA STAGGERS BACK, AND LIMMY SPRINGS OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A BEAUTIFUL FOREARM SMASH!
Flannery McCoy: Limmy rises to a knee, but surprisingly, doesn’t go for a cover, almost realizing that isn’t going to be enough to put SOSA away. Instead, Limmy opts to work on his opponent some more, standing SOSA back up to deliver a KNIFE EDGE CHOP, ECHOING THROUGHOUT THE ARENA!
Stew-O: SOSA spins around as a result, favoring his chest in pain momentarily before BLASTING Limmy with a forearm! LIMMY RESPONDS BACK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN- SOSA IS TRYING TO SHAKE THE COBWEBS OUT OF HIS HEAD BEFORE RETURNING FIRE WITH ANOTHER FOREARM!
Flannery McCoy: LIMMY FIRES BACK WITH RAPID FIRE PUNCHES, ALTERNATING BETWEEN BOTH HANDS BEFORE A FOREARM SMASH! SPINNING BACK KICK BY MONAGHAN, DROPPING SOSA TO ALL FOURS BEFORE LIMMY RUNS OFF THE ROPES WITH A SLIDING DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! LIMMY CRAWLS INTO THE COVER, SHOOTING THE HALF ON HENDERSON!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Jake Mercer: KICKOUT AT TWO! SOSA GETS THE SHOULDER UP! WHICH MEANS MORE GETTING TO WATCH LIMMY COOK!
Stew-O: Limmy lifts SOSA back to his feet- BUT SOSA STARTS TO BATTLE BACK WITH SHOTS TO THE RIB CAGE BEFORE CONNECTING WITH RIGHTS HANDS TO THE FACE, BACKING LIMMY INTO THE CORNER! SOSA BEGINS STOMPING A MUDHOLE INTO MONAGHAN, BEATING HIM DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION BEFORE BEING PULLED AWAY BY THE REFEREE!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA IS UPPING THE INTENSITY! LIMMY PULLS HIMSELF BACK UP IN THE CORNER, AND SOSA COMES MARCHING TOWARDS HIM- BUT A KICK TO THE GUT HALTS HIS MOMENTUM, AND LIMMY THROWS SOSA INTO THE CORNER! KNIFE EDGE CHOP BY MONAGHAN!
Stew-O: SOSA pushes past Limmy, and walks into another corner, trying to create ANY amount of space and separation. But Limmy is hot on his heels, and scores with ANOTHER knife edge chop to the chest! Again, SOSA pushes Limmy, and walks into another corner. But Limmy refuses to give much space, following SOSA there, and landing ANOTHER knife edge chop!
Jake Mercer: EACH SHOT HAS ECHOED THROUGHOUT THE ARENA, AND LIMMY IRISH WHIPS SOSA TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER-
Flannery McCoy: SOSA GOES UP AND OVER MONAGHAN, WHO HALTS HIMSELF FROM HITTING STERNUM FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, AND SPINS AROUND- OOH! KNIFE EDGE CHOP FROM SOSA, RETURNING THE FAVOR ON MONAGHAN! NOW, SOSA STARTS TO UNLOAD WITH A FLURRY OF UPPERCUTS TO THE RIB CAGE!
Stew-O: LIMMY TRIES TO COVER UP, BUT SOSA SWITCHES STRATEGY, CLUBBING HIM ACROSS THE BACK! SOSA IS FIRED UP, AND IRISH WHIPS LIMMY TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER! RUNNING KNIFE EDGE CHOP BY SOSA! SOSA WHIPS LIMMY BACK INTO THE PREVIOUS CORNER, AND CHARGES IN- EATING A BACK ELBOW FOR HIS TROUBLES!
Flannery McCoy: LIMMY HOPS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, BUT GETS SENT TUMBLING UP AND OVER THE TOP AFTER A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZIGURI BY SOSA! HENDERSON WATCHES AS LIMMY SLOWLY RETURNS TO HIS FEET, AND HENDERSON RUNS OFF THE ROPES, SOARING THROUGH THE AIR WITH A TOPE CON HILO!
Jake Mercer: I DONT LIKE THIS, YOU GUYS!
Stew-O: LIMMY IS ON THE ROPES AS SOSA ROLLS HIM BACK INSIDE THE RING! LIMMY STUMBLES BACK TO HIS FEET, ON WOBBLY LEGS AS SOSA SLIDES IN! HENDERSON SHOOTS OUT OF THE CORNER FOR A SPEAR-
Jake Mercer: YES! LIMMY AVOIDS IT! SUNSET FLIPPING OVER SOSA, AND ROLLING HIM THROUGH TO HIS FEET FOR A STYLES CLASH! IKOKU SOVEREIGNTY!
Flannery McCoy: BUT SOSA TWIRLS OUT OF IT, AND SWINGS WILDLY WITH A CLOTHESLINE! LIMMY CATCHES HIM, AND SLAMS HIM ACROSS HIS KNEE WITH A SIDESLAM BACKBREAKER! COVER IS MADE!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THH-
Stew-O: KICKOUT! Limmy pounds the mat, showing a hint of frustration there, but is immediately back on the attack, starting to lift SOSA back to his feet- BUT GETS DOUBLE LEGGED DOWN TO THE CANVAS, AND SOSA LEAPS IN THE AIR FOR A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE CHEST!
Flannery McCoy: BOTH COMPETITORS ARE QUICKLY BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND SOSA LEAPS IN THE AIR FOR A JUMPING DDT!
Stew-O: HOWEVER, LIMMY BLOCKS IT, POPPING SOSA IN THE AIR, AND SOSA LANDS ON HIS FEET, STAGGERING BACK INTO THE CORNER! LIMMY RUSHES IN- BUT SOSA SENDS HIM UP AND OVER HIS SHOULDER! MONAGHAN CATCHES HIMSELF OUT ON THE APRON, AND SOSA TURNS AROUND INTO A FOREARM!
Flannery McCoy: HENDERSON’S REELING OFF THAT FOREARM, AND LIMMY GOES TO SPRINGBOARD OFF THE TOP FOR ANOTHER FOREARM POSSIBLY, REMINISCENT OF EARLIER- BUT SOSA HAS IT SCOUTED THIS TIME, CLIPPING THE LEGS OF MONAGHAN! LIMMY LANDS GUT FIRST ACROSS THE TOP ROPE BEFORE TUMBLING TO THE OUTSIDE!
Stew-O: SOSA CATCHES HIS BREATHE MOMENTARILY BEFORE HEADING OUT TO THE APRON, AND STALKING LIMMY AS HE USES THE APRON FOR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET! SOSA BUILDS MOMENTUM FOR A RUNNING PENALTY KICK TO THE FACE, FLOORING LIMMY ON THE OUTSIDE!
Jake Mercer: LIMMY, GET UP!!
Flannery McCoy: MAY BE HARD TO DO RIGHT NOW AS SOSA NEARLY KICKED HIS HEAD OFF HIS SHOULDERS! SOSA DROPS OFF THE APRON, AND PULLS LIMMY BACK TO HIS FEET- LIMMY! LIMMY SCOOPS SOSA UP, AND- :krabs:
Stew-O: LIMMY JUST SPEARED SOSA HENDERSON ONTO OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE, AND BOTH MEN COME TUMBLING OVER! LIMMY LANDS ON TOP OF SOSA, MOUNTING HIM WITH RIGHTS BEFORE HEADING TO THE RING AS THE REFEREE’S COUNT GETS TO SIX! SOSA HENDERSON ISNT FAR BEHIND, RISING BACK TO HIS FEET RATHER QUICKLY!

Stew-O: BOTH MEN ARE BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND LIMMY CHARGES WITH A CLOTHESLINE! SOSA DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND BOTH MEN RUN OFF OPPOSITE ROPES, CLASHING IN THE MIDDLE, BOTH THINKING CROSSBODIES!

Flannery McCoy: FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS MATCH, ILL HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU! THIS IS, INDEED, AWESOME!!
Stew-O: THEY WERE DOWN, BUT ONCE AGAIN, THEYRE BACK UP, AND CHARGE EACH OTHER ONE MORE TIME! BUT BOTH MEN WERE STILL THINKING THE SAME THING WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! NOW, THEYRE EFFECTIVELY DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: Whoever makes it to their feet first will have a major advantage. Currently, both men are stirring, albeit slowly.
Stew-O: Finally SOSA returns to his feet! Limmy returns to his feet- OOH! SOSA TOOK THE FIRST SHOT WITH A FOREARM! BUT LIMMY GAVE ONE RIGHT BACK! FOREARM BY SOSA! FOREARM BY LIMMY! SOSA! LIMMY! SOSA! LIMMY! SOSA! LIMMY! LIMMY HAMMERS SOSA WITH MULTIPLE FOREARMS, AND SOSA STAGGERS BACK A BIT!
Flannery McCoy: LIMMY FIRES UP, PREPARED TO PUT EVERYTHING BEHIND THIS NEXT ATTACK, BEING A ROLLING ELBOW! BUT SOSA EXPLODES OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! LIMMY IS STUNNED, AND SOSA GOES FOR A JUMPING CUTTER! LIMMY PUSHES HIM OFF, BLOCKING THE STOLE YO BITCH! SOSA LANDS ON HIS FEET!

Jake Mercer: KICK TO THE GUT! LIMMY WITH A KICK TO THE GUT, SETTING SOSA UP FOR OUTER HEAVEN! PEDIGREE CONNECTS, AND LIMMY SHOOTS THE HALF FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERES YOUR WINNER…LIMMY MONAGHAN!
(Limmy rises to his feet, having his hand raised in victory by the referee as ‘Number One’ by Shirō Sagisu & Hazel Fernandes blares throughout the arena to a mixed reaction from fans.)
Jake Mercer: HES DONE IT! THE CZAR HAS DONE IT!
Stew-O: Yeah, but make sure to include how he did it, because a little assist goes to Cody Maverick.
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, but I’m not sure Limmy even realizes it. He was out that entire time following that spear.
Stew-O: Well, if he didn’t before… NOW, he’s beginning to realize it.
(The referee releases Limmy’s hand, and Limmy turns toward the stage area, finally taking notice of Cody Maverick on the stage area, smug after costing SOSA Henderson his match. Meanwhile, Limmy grows angered with Cody’s intrusion. Cody shrugs before gesturing for Limmy to watch his back as the crowd reaction rises. Limmy spins around-)
Stew-O: CY HENDERSON! CY HENDERSON TRIED GETTING THE JUMP ON LIMMY, SLIDING IN THE RING BEHIND HIM! BUT LIMMY SAW IT COMING, MEETING CY IN THE MIDDLE, THE TWO GOING AT IT WITH FISTICUFFS!
Flannery McCoy: BACK AND FORTH BRAWL HERE BETWEEN LIMMY AND CY, BOTH COMPETITORS EXCHANGING RIGHTS!
Jake Mercer: BUT LIMMY STARTS GAINING THE UPPER HAND ON CY! SHOT AFTER SHOT! RIGHT HAND AFTER RIGHT HAND!
Stew-O: CY GOES DOWN OFF ONE BEFORE RUSHING BACK TO HIS FEET! LIMMY BACKS CY IN THE CORNER WITH MORE RIGHT HANDS!
Flannery McCoy: CY DOES HIS BEST TO COVER UP BEFORE SHOVING LIMMY AWAY! LIMMY SPINS AROUND-
Jake Mercer: OOH! CY SHOT OUT OF THAT CORNER WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
Stew-O: CY QUICKLY MOUNTS LIMMY WITH RIGHTS HANDS! BUT LIMMY MANAGES TO SHOVE HIM OFF, AND BOTH MEN SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET!
Flannery McCoy: SPEAR! SPEAR BY LIMMY! BOTH COMPETITORS GO TUMBLING THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE!
Stew-O: LIMMY AND CY RETURN TO THEIR FEET, AND ARE BACK EXCHANGING RIGHTS!
Jake Mercer: CY STAGGERS AWAY FROM MONAGHAN, WHO IS HOT IN PURSUIT- BUT WALKS RIGHT INTO A KICK TO THE GUT! CY ROLLS LIMMY BACK INSIDE THE RING!
Flannery McCoy: CY SLIDES BACK IN THE RING- BUT RIGHT INTO POSITION FOR A PEDIGREE AS LIMMY STARTS HOOKING HIS ARMS-
Stew-O: SECURITY! SECURITY PULLS CY HENDERSON OUT UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE, SAVING HIS SKIN IN THAT INSTANCE!
(Security holds Cy back on the outside as Limmy sticks his head out through the middle rope, reaching out for Henderson. But security flood the ring as well, pulling Limmy away from the ropes, and to the other side of the ring, far away from Cy.)
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
Flannery McCoy: CROWD ARE CHANTING LET THEM FIGHT, AND I CANT DISAGREE WITH EM!
Stew-O: PAIN FOR PRIDE ISNT FAR AWAY, AND TRUST ME, YOU WILL SEE THOSE TWO FIGHT THERE!
(The camera fades elsewhere as security has gotten a hold on the situation, keeping Cy and Limmy at bay, much to the chagrin of the competitors and the audience.)
(A commercial plays for Pain for Pride, with Limmy Monaghan taking on Cy Henderson.)
(The camera returns to the ring where Stephie Love is ready to begin the introductions for the final match of the evening!)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne plays. The hip-hop track spurs many within the crowd to rise out of their feet with the emergence of Milli Banks. She struts her way onto the upper stage to a large ovation. With a smile as wide as her ambitions, she bops along to her theme and raps along to the lyrics. She does a little dance before posing before the masses. The fans go wild as she heads to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, from Brooklyn, New York, weighing in tonight at 135 pounds… she is ‘THE SUPERNOVA’, MIIIIIIIIIIIIILLIIIIIIIIIIIIII BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKSS!
Stew-O: Here comes Milli Banks heading to the ring, but all that dancing aside, she is not happy at all after what happened last week after her match.
Jake Mercer: Oh yeah. She was able to defeat MITSU in a hell of a match. After the match, Hikari came out and assaulted Milli’s sister Gemma before the Universal Women’s Champion Minerva came into the ring and knocked her out.
Flannery McCoy: We have to believe that Milli is pissed off at both Minerva and Hikari for those heinous acts, but she has to not let that cloud her vision because her opponent in this match has no issue taking advantage of an unfocused opponent.
(Milli high-fives some of the fans along the way before making her way up the steel steps and onto the ring apron. She takes hold of the top rope and jumps over it, rolling toward the middle of the ring. before she struts off toward her corner. Milli warms up, bouncing back and forth lightly on her feet. Her confidence never wavers as “Enemy Strike” by YUKI HAYASHI starts playing as the World Heavyweight Champion Myles enters the arena. He looks ready for action as he doesn’t waste any time heading to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing her opponent! From Melbourne, Australia! Weighing 225 pounds. Here is the EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! “THE PEAK OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING” MYLES!
Jake Mercer: Here comes the Champ!! Where Milli had a horrible week last week, Myles was the complete opposite.
Flannery McCoy: First, he got a huge win over Ryan Joseph Wilson. Then later on in our main event, Myles appeared and clobbered Jamie O’Hara in the back of the head with his title belt which led to Jamie losing the match for his team.
Stew-O: Two Pain for Pride main eventers are going head to head in this battle. Who will leave victorious? We’re about to find out.
(Myles enters the ring and takes his corner before he hands his title belt to the referee who then hands it to Stephie Love. His entrance music has faded off and the referee checks both competitors before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go! Tonight’s main event is underway as two Pain for Pride main eventers are looking to lock up in the center of the ring BUT MYLES EASILY LIFTS HER UP AND TAKES HER RIGHT TO THE CORNER!
Jake Mercer: Milli was tackled into the corner and the referee immediately asks for a clean break, and we shockingly get one from both competitors. BUT MYLES PICKS HER BACK UP AND TACKLES HER INTO THE CORNER ONCE AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: SHOULDER TACKLES IN THE CORNER BY THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION AND HE IS BEING AGGRESSIVE VERY EARLY IN THE MATCH AS THE REFEREE STARTS A COUNT!
Stew-O: Myles stops the shoulder tackles on four and lifts Milli up before sitting her on the top turnbuckle. Myles goes to fire a right hand, BUT MILLI USES HER LEG TO BLOCK THE SHOT BEFORE KICKING MYLES IN THE MOUTH!
Flannery McCoy: Myles staggered back enough to give Milli a chance to stand on the top turnbuckle. Myles comes back towards the corner–
Jake Mercer: MILLI JUMPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND LANDS ON MYLES BEFORE TAKING MYLES UP AND OVER WITH THE DIVING HURRICANRANA! Myles was taken off his feet and Milli quickly reaches back and hooks Myles’ leg for a quick cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOO–
Stew-O: MYLES POWERS OUT AT ALMOST A TWO COUNT! Myles tossed Milli off of him as he rolls onto his knees—
Jake Mercer: Milli is now being the relentless one as she gets on Myles’ back and starts throwing lefts and rights across the back of his neck and head trying to keep him down on the mat.
Flannery McCoy: It’s too early in the match for something like that to work as Myles still has the size and power advantage as he easily makes it back to his feet and reaches back for Milli!
Stew-O: He grabs Milli by the back of the head AND SNAPMARES HER OFF HIS BACK AND SHE GOES CRASHING ONTO THE MAT! Milli lands hard on the mat and then Myles comes back–
Jake Mercer: AND HE FOLLOWS UP WITH A DIRECT KICK TO THE SPINE! GOOD GAWD! Milli has to be feeling completely numb after that shot.
Flannery McCoy: Milli is trying to shake off the effects of the kick as she tries to get back to her feet AS MYLES DROPS HIS ELBOW ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF HER BACK TAKING HER DOWN TO THE MAT!
Stew-O: Neither competitor is playing around in this match as Myles brings Milli back to her feet AND FIRES OFF A STIFF FOREARM SMASH TO MILLI’S FACE THAT SENDS HER FALLING BACK!
Flannery McCoy: Myles continues to fire the forearms until Milli is backed against the ropes. Myles grabs Milli and whips her to the ropes AND MILLI LEAVES HER FEET AND HITS THE ROPES WITH A HANDSPRING–
Jake Mercer: MILLI COMES BACK AND CATCHES MYLES IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A BACK HANDSPRING ROUNDHOUSE KICK! That shot took Myles off his feet and right to the mat!
Stew-O: Myles is trying to get back to his feet AND MILLI BANKS FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A DROPKICK TO MYLES’ FACE! NOW MILLI WITH A KIP UP THAT BRINGS MILLI BACK TO HER FEET!
Jake Mercer: Myles is now on the rails as Milli grabs Myles and brings him back to his feet. She grabs Myles by the head and tries to run forward—
Flannery McCoy: MILLI TRIES FOR A BULLDOG, BUT MYLES BLOCKS IT! Milli tries it again, BUT MYLES LIFTS MILLI UP IN THE AIR AND COUNTERS WITH A BACK SUPLEX!
Stew-O: MILLI WAS DROPPED ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD! Now the World Heavyweight Champion is back in control of the match as he brings Milli back to her feet and whips her to the ropes.
Jake Mercer: Milli hits the ropes before coming back. Myles grabs Milli and looks to plant her with a backbreaker, BUT MILLI COUNTERS WITH A HEADSCISSORS THAT TAKES MYLES FOR THE RIDE AND OVER TO THE ROPES!
Flannery McCoy: Milli is back on her feet as Myles uses the ropes to help him recover AND MILLI COMES RUNNING TOWARDS MYLES TO TRY AND CLOTHESLINE HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE–
Stew-O: MYLES WAS ABLE TO COUNTER WITH A BACK BODY DROP AND THAT SENDS MILLI OVER THE TOP ROPE–
Flannery McCoy: MILLI WAS ABLE TO GRAB THE TOP ROPE AND LAND ON THE APRON AT THE LAST SECOND! Myles turns around AND IS MET WITH A FOREARM BY MILLI! Myles staggers back–
Jake Mercer: BUT HE QUICKLY TURNS AROUND AND FIRES OFF A BIG BOOT THAT CATCHES MILLI RIGHT IN THE FACE AND SENDS HER FLYING OFF THE APRON AND TO THE FLOOR!
Stew-O: Milli crashes to the floor as Myles leaves the ring and stands on the apron. He is watching Milli try to get back to her feet after that ugly landing on the floor. Milli has finally made it back to her feet–
Jake Mercer: MYLES JUMPS ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE BEFORE LEAPING AND TAKING MILLI DOWN ONCE AGAIN WITH A SPRINGBOARD ASAI MOONSAULT! MILLI CRASHES AGAINST THE FLOOR ONCE AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: Another ugly landing for the former Specialists Champion on the outside floor as Myles easily gets back on his feet. He doesn’t give Milli any chance to recover before he brings her back up and easily picks her up.
Stew-O: Myles carries Milli back towards the ring AND JUST TOSSES HER BACK INTO THE RING LIKE SHE WAS NOTHING! The referee has been counting this entire time and Myles rolls back into the ring and barely breaks the referee’s count.
Jake Mercer: Myles is back in the ring as Milli has rolled herself onto her knees as Myles comes off the ropes AND CLOCKS MILLI IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH A BICYCLE KNEE AND MILLI ONCE AGAIN KISSES THE CANVAS!
Flannery McCoy: Milli is back kissing the canvas as Myles has a waistlock on Milli AS HE DEADLIFTS MILLI OFF THE CANVAS AND DROPS HER WITH A DEADLIFT HIGH ANKLE GERMAN SUPLEX!
Stew-O: MILLI WAS DROPPED ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD AS MYLES QUICKLY FLOATS OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
TH—
Flannery McCoy: MILLI KICKS OUT AT TWO! Myles quickly gets back to his feet after the pin and grabs Milli’s left leg AND QUICKLY ROLLS HER OVER INTO THE BOSTON CRAB!
Jake Mercer: SUBMISSION MOVE APPLIED AND MYLES QUICKLY DRAGS HER TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING! The referee is right there to see if Milli wants to give this match up. Like that will happen at this point in the match.
Stew-O: Myles is using his weight advantage to put a horrible torque on Milli’s back and really putting her in some pain, but Milli is a very determined competitor as Myles starts leaning further back to put more pressure on Milli’s spine.
Jake Mercer: Milli is doing whatever she can to try and get free from the submission. She better think of something quick or else this match might be over—
Flannery McCoy: MILLI WAS ABLE TO ROLL ON HER BACK AND KICKS MYLES OFF OF HER AND SENDS HIM TO THE ROPES.
Stew-O: Myles comes off the ropes and MILLI GRABS MYLES’ NECK AND PULLS HIM DOWN INTO A ROLLUP! INSIDE CRADLE AND SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHRRRRR——
Jake Mercer: MYLES REVERSES THE INSIDE CRADLE! MILLI’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRREEEEE–
Flannery McCoy: MILLI KICKS OUT AT TWO! That rollup attempt by Milli almost backfired on her when Myles was able to reverse the pinfall. Now both competitors are back to their feet and Myles was the first one to strike!
Stew-O: Myles with a kick to the gut that doubles Milli over. Myles has another waistlock on Milli as HE LIFTS HER IN THE AIR FOR ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX–
Flannery McCoy: MILLI ROLLS THROUGH AND SHE LANDS ON HER FEET BEHIND MYLES! Milli runs up behind Myles and grabs him by the head BEFORE SHE RUNS AND JUMPS UP TO THE TOP ROPE–
Jake Mercer: MILLI USES THE TOP ROPE AS A SPRINGBOARD BEFORE PLANTING MYLES WITH A SPRINGBOARD BULLDOG! MYLES GOES FACE FIRST INTO THE MAT!
Stew-O: Myles rolls onto his back as Milli is right there AND SHE DROPS HER KNEES RIGHT INTO THE BREADBASKET OF MYLES!
Jake Mercer: She manages to roll through and land on her feet BEFORE SHE ROLLS BACK AND DRIVES HER KNEES INTO MYLES AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: Big money direct hit off the “Bank Roll” maneuver and now she is putting the boots to the World Heavyweight Champion who is starting to get back to his feet before Milli pulls him back up the rest of the way.
Stew-O: Milli tries to whip Myles to the ropes, BUT MYLES REVERSES! Milli goes for the ride instead as she hits the ropes. Milli comes back AND MYLES GOES FOR A BACK BODY DROP–
Jake Mercer: MILLI IS ABLE TO LAND ON HER FEET BEHIND MYLES! Milli keeps going and hits the ropes on the other side. Milli rebounds off the ropes AND MYLES GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE–
Flannery McCoy: MILLI DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE AND GRABS MYLES’ ARM BEFORE SHE FLOATS OVER AND SHE PLANTS MYLES TO THE MAT WITH THE FLOAT OVER DDT!
Stew-O: Myles once again goes face first into the canvas as Milli drags him over to the corner before she starts climbing to the high rent district that is the top rope.
Flannery McCoy: Myles still hasn’t moved off the DDT as Milli finds her balance on the top rope BEFORE SHE JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND IS LOOKING FOR THE MOONSAULT–
Jake Mercer: MYLES GOT THE KNEES UP, BUT MILLI FAKED HIM OUT! MILLI MANAGED TO LAND ON HER FEET BEFORE SHE MADE IMPACT WITH MYLES! Myles put his knees down–
Stew-O: MILLI FAKES HIM OUT AGAIN AS SHE FLIPS BACK AND HITS THE STANDING MOONSAULT! ANOTHER DIRECT HIT ON MYLES AS MILLI HOOKS THE LEG FOR ANOTHER COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRR–
Jake Mercer: MYLES KICKS OUT AT TWO AND HE JUST THREW MILLI OFF OF HIM LIKE IT WAS NOTHING! Myles manages to get back to his feet first as he walks to Milli and tries to bring her back to her feet–
Flannery McCoy: MILLI ROLLS HIM UP AND OVER AND HAS COUNTERED WITH A TRIANGLE CHOKE! ANOTHER SUBMISSION HOLD APPLIED! WHAT A COUNTER BY MILLI BANKS!
Stew-O: That submission has been locked in deep and Milli is using all of her weight to keep Myles weighed down to prevent him from getting out of the submission easily, BUT MYLES IS FIGHTING IT!
Jake Mercer: THE REFEREE IS ONCE AGAIN RIGHT THERE TO SEE IF MYLES WANTS TO GIVE IT UP OR IF HE PASSES OUT, BUT MILLI IS DOING EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT MYLES DOES NOT MOVE! Like that will ever happen.
Flannery McCoy: I normally wouldn’t agree with you when you make those righteous remarks, but I am inclined to agree with you. Myles has almost 100 pounds on Milli, so the chances aren’t in her favor.
Stew-O: But she is doing an amazing job thus far AND MYLES IS STARTING TO FADE A LITTLE BIT WITH THE WAY HE IS LEANING! WAIT! HIS HAND JUST DROPPED! HE MIGHT BE OUT! MYLES COULD BE OUT—
Flannery McCoy: THE REFEREE WAS GOING TO CHECK MYLES’ ARM, BUT MYLES JUST PLANTED HIS FEET AND HE IS MUSTERING UP HIS STRENGTH AS HE LIFTS MILLI UP IN THE AIR!
Jake Mercer: LOOK AT THE POWER FROM THE CHAMP! THE TRIANGLE CHOKE IS STILL APPLIED! MILLI IS IN THE POWERBOMB POSITION AS MYLES STARTS SPINNING AROUND—
Stew-O: SPINNING SITOUT POWERBOMB BY THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! MILLI CRASHES AND BURNS INTO THE MAT AS MYLES STACKS MILLI UP FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: MILLI KICKS OUT AT TWO! I can admit that this has been an amazing match thus far between these two. It was to be expected of two competitors who are walking into Pain for Pride as Main Eventers.
Flannery McCoy: It must be a weird day if I am agreeing with you twice in one match. Be that as it may, Milli is barely moving as Myles gets back to his feet.
Stew-O: Myles pulls Milli back to her feet and doesn’t waste a second AS HE DELIVERS A KNEE TO THE GUT! Milli was doubled over after the shot as Myles has the gutwrench–
Jake Mercer: Myles lifts Milli up in the air and has her in the Canadian Backbreaker! Milli is in a mess of trouble because Myles likes to go for the “Wrathful Daystar” in this position. MYLES STARTS TO TWIST MILLI FOR THE “WRATHFUL DAYSTAR” DDT–
Flannery McCoy: MILLI STARTS THROWING ELBOWS INTO THE SIDE OF MYLES’ HEAD AND THAT FORCES MYLES TO LOOSEN HIS GRASP ON MILLI AND IT ALLOWS MILLI TO SLIDE OFF HIS SHOULDER–
Stew-O: Milli lands on her feet behind Myles AND SHE DELIVERS A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF MYLES’ KNEECAP! That takes Myles down to his knees as he is kneeling in the ring.
Flannery McCoy: That gives Milli a huge opening as she grabs Myles by the head AND SHE DROPS TO HER KNEES AND SENDS MYLES FACE FIRST WITH “DIAMONDS DANCING”! DOUBLE KNEE FACEBUSTER CONNECTS AS SHE ROLLS MYLES ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: MYLES POWERS OUT AT TWO! That was a very close near fall for Milli Banks and she doesn’t look too pleased that Myles was able to kick out. That doesn’t stop Milli from stopping her offense.
Stew-O: Milli is back to her feet and she grabs hold of Myles and brings him back to his feet. Milli now has the facelock applied and she grabs his leg and has him set up for a Fisherman’s Neckbreaker–
Jake Mercer: MILLI SPINS FOR THE NECKBREAKER, BUT MYLES GOT HIS LEG FREE AND PLANTS HIS FEET SO HE COULD BLOCK THE NECKBREAKER!
Flannery McCoy: Not only that, he gets in position BEFORE HE GRABS HOLD OF MILLI BEFORE STANDING UP AND HE HAS MILLI ON HIS SHOULDER ONCE AGAIN!
Stew-O: MILLI IS IN A HUGE MESS OF TROUBLE AS MYLES HAS HER IN THE CANADIAN BACKBREAKER POSITION BEFORE HE WALKS HER OVER TO THE CENTER OF THE RING–
Flannery McCoy: MYLES TWISTS HER AROUND BEFORE PLANTING MILLI FACE FIRST INTO THE MAT WITH THE “WRATHFUL DAYSTAR”! MYLES FINALLY GOT THE DDT ON MILLI AND HE ROLLS HER OVER AND GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: DID HE GET IT? HE GOT IT! I THINK HE GOT THE THREE COUNT!
Stew-O: THE REFEREE IS SAYING NO! THE REFEREE IS SAYING THAT IT WAS ONLY A TWO COUNT! NEAR FALL FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! He has reached the point of almost throwing the rules out the window!
Jake Mercer: He is throwing those straight right hands into the skull of the former Specialists Champion, but the referee is right there to admonish Myles and tell him to open up the fists. Myles keeps going and the referee is left with no choice but to start a count.
Flannery McCoy: The referee reaches four and Myles finally opens up the fists to prevent getting disqualified. I think Myles is done playing around as he grabs Milli and brings her back to her feet.
Stew-O: Myles has hold of Milli and walks her over to the corner. MYLES THEN USES HIS POWER AND SENDS MILLI ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE RING WITH A BIEL THROW!
Jake Mercer: Milli was used as a frisbee right there as Myles looks to follow up the throw as he brings Milli back to her feet once more.
Flannery McCoy: Myles has Milli on his shoulder once again BEFORE MYLES USES MILLI AS A JAVELIN AND SENDS HER FACE FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Snake Eyes by the World Heavyweight Champion.
Stew-O: Milli managed to stay on her feet after the move, but is on spaghetti legs at the moment. She might be a little dazed as well and not know where she is. Unfortunately, she stumbles right into a waiting Myles and Myles sends Milli for the ride with the Irish Whip—
Flannery McCoy: MILLI IS WHIPPED TO THE ROPES BUT MILLI SOMEHOW MANAGES TO PUT THE BREAKS ON AS SHE REACHES THE ROPES—
Jake Mercer: MILLI JUMPS ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE AND DOES A BACKFLIP BEFORE SHE MANAGES TO GRAB MYLES BY THE NECK! MILLI LANDS ON HER FEET–
Stew-O: MILLI PLANTS MYLES DOWN ON THE CANVAS ONCE AGAIN! “FORECLOSURE” BY MILLI BANKS! SHE GOT ALL OF THAT SPRINGBOARD BACKFLIP INVERTED DDT! MYLES IS DOWN AND POSSIBLY OUT AS MILLI LOOKS TO FORECLOSE ON THE VICTORY!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: MYLES KICKS OUT ONCE AGAIN AT TWO!
Flannery McCoy: Milli is back to her feet and she grabs hold of Myles and brings him back up to his feet as well and it looks like Milli is ready to finish this match up once and for all.
Jake Mercer: MYLES DOUBLED OVER AS MILLI GRABS HIS HEAD FROM OVER HER SHOULDER AS SHE LOOKS TO SNAPMARE MYLES, BUT INSTEAD SHE JUMPS UP AND FLIPS BACK! MILLI IS LOOKING TO HIT “BANKRUPT”! MILLI IS ABOUT TO BANKRUPT MYLES–
Flannery McCoy: MYLES WAS ABLE TO TOSS MILLI OFF AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! MILLI LANDS ON HER FEET BEHIND MYLES! MYLES TURNS AROUND AND KICKS MILLI IN THE GUT BEFORE PUTTING HER IN THE PUMPHANDLE POSITION AND LIFTS HER IN THE AIR–
Stew-O: “DE FACTO NUEVA”! SPINNING PUMPHANDLE SNAP SAMOAN DRIVER JUST SPIKES MILLI BANKS RIGHT ON TOP OF HER HEAD! GOOD GAWD WHAT A COUNTER BY THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION AS MILLI IS NOT MOVING AND MYLES DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRREEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Enemy Strike” starts playing again as Myles slowly rolls off of Milli as Stephie Love starts to announce the final decision of the match.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… THE EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! MYLES!
Stew-O: What a hell of a match we just witnessed here tonight in our main event on Dynasty. Both competitors really brought the action.
Flannery McCoy: A hell of a match between two of Pain for Pride’s main eventers. It could have gone either way but it was the experience edge of Myles that put it over the top for him.
Jake Mercer: Myles will be walking into Pain for Pride with extra momentum as he is going to defend his title against Jamie O’Hara. Unfortunately, Milli’s week isn’t going the same way.
Flannery McCoy: Last week, she had to watch her sister get attacked by Hikari Kanno. This week, she loses to Myles. She worked hard this week and we have to give her that.
Stew-O: Milli put forth an amazing effort in this match, but it wasn’t enough to give her the win as it is the World Heavyweight Champion Myles who picks up the victory in tonight’s main event on Dynasty. Congrats once again to the World Heavyweight Champion Myles on the win.
(Milli rolls out of the ring and she does not look happy that she lost the match. She walks up, completely disappointed as the camera cuts to Myles. He continues to celebrate before he gets his title back. Myles goes to leave the ring until the titantron comes to life, quickly bringing his attention to it.)
Stew-O: Oh, hang on, what’s this?
Jake Mercer: Is this a technical error, or…?
(Suddenly, Jamie O’Hara comes into view with his face the focal point of the shot. However, it seems like the surrounding area is dark. He obviously wasn’t in the arena, but it was hard to make out where he was exactly. Myles’ eyes widened and a varying degree of reactions came from the fans. Myles is clearly agitated upon seeing Jamie, but Jamie starts to speak.)
Jamie O’Hara: Hello, Myles. Still seething like a raging little mutt? Of course you would. With all the times I’ve been able to own you throughout our little journey towards Pain for Pride, it’s understandable that you would be angry. All of my words are ringing true for you. You have and always been nothing more than a man chasing after my shadow. You are simply below me in every way. Yet, you carry on with your arrogance, blinded by this idea that you can truly rival me. And it makes me wonder, how did you end up this way? What has spurred you on to believing this false notion that your worth and legacy could ever match up to or even eclipse my own?
(The shot gradually zooms out with more parts of Jamie being shown. With the widening shot, it becomes a little clearer that Jamie is outside somewhere, but the dark and gloomy atmosphere still doesn’t help to discern his exact location.)
Jamie O’Hara: You know, I’ve been given shit for weeks about how I came about and ruined your happiest day, but all that I have done to you thus far doesn’t even scratch the surface of what I’m capable of. When it comes to peeling back the layers of what makes you, well, you, there is so much more I can do, so much more that I have to offer, so that I can expose you as nothing more than a mortal who foolishly believes he can touch his God. It does make me wonder how you ever turned out to be this way. Why would someone so insignificant think they could ever be more than that? But then I remember that we are all creatures of our environment and certain things, certain ideals, certain behaviors are built into us by those closest to us. The gears in my head started to turn, and that’s when I realized… I needed to go directly to the source.
(Jamie smirks.)
Jamie O’Hara: So, that’s where I’m at.
(And that’s when the shot fully zooms out. Gasps are immediately heard from the fans. Myles looks on in disbelief.)
Myles: (off-mic) You…
Jake Mercer: Huh?! Ain’t no way!
Flannery McCoy: That can’t be, right?!
Stew-O: Oh, don’t tell me that’s—
(A graveyard. However, it wasn’t just a random one. Jamie chuckles and strolls down until he comes across the graves of Myles’ parents.)
Jamie O’Hara: Now, you needn’t worry. I won’t deface or ruin anything. I’m not that heartless. I just simply wish to converse with them, and most importantly, I want to apologize to them in advance for what I plan on doing to you.
Stew-O: This may be a bit too far…
(Jamie gets closer before crouching down, look at the graves.)
Jamie O’Hara: After all, this right here is the source. Two people, who have met their untimely demises, have more than likely propped up Myles to the point where he was led to believe he could do anything in life if he gave it his all. I’m sure they had the same ambitions for themselves. Too bad they didn’t get too far with that.
(That comment elicits a lot of boos from the fans. Myles, becoming angrier by the second, clenches his hands down on the top rope.)
Jamie O’Hara: But perhaps your deaths could be a cautionary tale. It doesn’t matter how many dreams you may have. They can get cut short, and sometimes, they may not even come to fruition at all. That would be a worthwhile lesson for you two to have imparted onto your son, but it’s clear that there were many things you failed to teach him before your time to leave this earth came. It’s fine, though. I’m a father myself. I can extend my own good grace onto him and teach him a lesson he will never forget. There I say, I can do a better job at that than the two of you ever did. It’s quite alright, though. I won’t treat this like a burden, rather, as an opportunity to correct the wrongs that you’ve left behind.
Jamie O’Hara: After all, he’s the way he is now because of you two. You never told him to be more realistic. You never taught him to mind his tongue and to not puff himself out against those far more superior to him. No. I’m certain you two filled his little impressionable minds with all of the worthless garbage about believing in yourself and being his literal cheerleaders that he developed this complex that has carried on into his adult life, and now with his career. I must say, the two of you truly failed him as parents. I wonder if during your time alive you both were just as hot headed and foolhardy as him. I mean, he’s got to have picked up those traits from somewhere, right? At the very least, the two of you are no longer that. Just a shame your son can’t get the memo.
(Jamie pauses before he continues.)
Jamie O’Hara: I’m sure you two will be watching from below — and not above — hoping that your precious son can put an end to me. However, that won’t be happening. Instead, what’s going to happen is that he’s going to get embarrassed at Pain for Pride, and it will be your fault. You made him this way. Pushed him to be this stupid son of a bitch. Told him that he could get far and ahead over others when there is simply not a place for him at the peak that I reside on. But again, it’s alright! I am here to impart some corrective action. In a matter of a few weeks, I will personally see to it that this whole charade will end. Myles will no longer be the self-declared peak of this industry. He will no longer be a champion. In fact, he may no longer be here once it’s all said and done.
Jamie O’Hara: He’ll be joining the two of you into domination for good.
(By then, Myles is completely beside himself from the disrespect. The feed cuts and the fans boo, not liking what they saw and heard from the Ace.)
Stew-O: Wow. He really went there with him.
(The camera zooms in on the fury-filled face of Myles. With that, Dynasty fades with that lasting image.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
