(Friday Night Dynasty intro plays. A recap of last week’s show is shown before we cut to the live feed of the go-home show. It’s a sold-out occasion in Denver, Colorado as the Ball Arena is packed. The fans are electric, and they are shown off in all their glory as they go off on the stage. Several more shots show off the fans before we go to a view of the usual gang, as Stew-O, Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy are ready to call the action!)
Stew-O: Well, we are finally here! This is the last top before Reckless Wiring, what a show we have for all of you! Everything comes to a head, and soon, we’ll make it to the first Dynasty marquee event of the season! But for now, welcome to Friday Night Dynasty! I am Stew-O, and as always, I am joined by Jake Mercer and Flannery McCoy!
Jake Mercer: Can’t wait for tonight! In fact, I can’t wait for Reckless Wiring! I’m sure the fans will pick the best stipulations for each match…
Flannery McCoy: Like bra and panties?
Jake Mercer: Ex— uh, n-no, no! Who do you think I am, Flann?! I have more respect than that?
Flannery McCoy: Riiiiiight. At any rate, tonight looks to be an exciting, especially with Minerva opening things up for us tonight!
(Dynasty was officially on air, and with that stated. The crowd waited in anticipation as to who was going to make the first entrance. With that stated, “Blood, Milk, And Sky” blared through the speakers. None other than the EAW Hall Of Famer Minerva was out first! Making her way down the ramp, she slowly nodded her head.)
Stew-O: The legendary Minerva is out here to start us off tonight, and without a shadow of a doubt — she has a lot to proclaim! Events on Dynasty lately for her have been quite interesting.
Flannery McCoy: Two historical figures in EAW folklore have been coming to blows as of late. And it’s safe to say, things are only gonna heat up with these continuing developments!
Jake Mercer: Minerva is out here to make sure everything is put out to be known. We aren’t gonna see anything drawn out, no beating around the bush. This is going to be one of the easiest takes of Minerva’s life.
(Minerva entered the ring now, glaring around the arena. Her theme song died down soon enough, as she twirled a microphone at hand. With the gifted silence, she could now speak.)
Minerva: Things have been interesting as of late. Life as we know it is increasing in significant view points. People are truly revealing who they ultimately are at the end of the day. That goes for the sport we are in, and that also excels to the outside world… But I am not gonna bore you with another lame speech. You all want to see things spiral out of control. You paid to witness entertainment, and what has been building between myself and Raven as of late….. It has been; entertaining. But I am just going to not beat around the bush — I dislike her. I don’t like any inch of her. And do I need to put more emphasis on the fact that I don’t like her? She could attempt whatever the hell she wanted, that simply is just not ever gonna change. I see her for what she is. And if you aren’t blind you should too!
(Minerva edged closer to the camera, as she motioned for it to come closer. She now stood there glaring directly at the audience.)
Minerva: A jealous fool. A jealous fool who doesn’t gauge the mistake that she has made by being in the ring with me. She made the most pathetic attempt of her life, when she crossed me. Here’s the thing though, Raven Roberts is not looking for her big break! She is already cemented in EAW history. So it’s like? Why the hell do you want this so badly? What is racing through your mind, that would make you commit to such a mind boggling mistake.. I know deep down, you are bubbling with insecurity. You wanna be me so bad. You would probably sell your soul… if it meant you can have even HALF of what I got. You can twitch your eyes at the thought of that. You can lay unnerved knowing that I stated the truth about you — But this is what you are, Raven Roberts. Envious of what I have built. Sad that you haven’t been able to be that innovative. So go ahead, get angry. I would find that humorous, as you show me the truth, and nothing but the truth, Raven.
(Minerva backed up now, changing position as she still maintained that glare on the camera.)
Minerva: I have a right to sit here and chastise you for the legacy I have created. I have a right to say all this, because I am just being honest! Is it brutal honesty; it’s truthful honesty. It is what needs to be heard. It is what has been heard thus far. And it’s a shame that the pill might be this hard to swallow, but I did not come to Dynasty to sugarcoat things and spew utter bullshit. I came to make a statement that there will be no playing nice. And that is something that I have LOOOONG accepted. My entire career has been built off the back of my mentality and focus being so much more different than the rest! So Raven, I think it is time that you and I both come to the spitting realization that—
(“Ghost Myself” by Diamante hit the speakers loudly, as Minerva was interrupted. Raven Roberts wasted zero time getting out there, as you could read the reaction on her face easily enough.)
Stew-O: And here comes Raven Roberts who doesn’t look like the happiest woman in the world right now! What do you think is racing through her mind, after what she just heard?
Flannery McCoy: I know one thing, Minerva is trying to get into the head of Raven, and we are about to find out the question; is Raven letting her get deep into her head? Because that is not good if so.
Jake Mercer: Raven is unhappy, but that might just be gifting and granting Minerva what she wants! She wants her to be angry, because that gives all the more initiative that everything Minerva just said was the truth!!!!!
(Raven Roberts entered the ring, staring daggers through Minerva. Her theme stopped quickly, as she wasted zero time coming face to face with her.)
Raven Roberts: I want you to look me in the face, first and foremost. And I want you to know that I am not happy. I am not happy with what I heard in my ears, and I am just going to go ahead and state it. You are entitled to your own opinion, yes. Seeing as it is slightly bullshit, and no matter what I do, that is never going to garner a change. I am never going to convince you otherwise with words, I am just waiting for Reckless Wiring to roll around, so I can put you down for good. You are holding onto the legacy you have created, and that is FINE! I respect it. But what you seem to forget, clouded by this whole mental imagery, you could sit and rest on the empire of what you built………… But what you have seemed to have forgotten about, is the legacy that the both of us have to build while we are moving forward.
(Raven paced around Minerva, as she was not slowing down one bit.)
Raven Roberts: I have zero intention of leaving. I have no intention of letting up. Especially knowing what I could have done. Especially knowing what I have missed out on. I have been close on countless occasions since coming back, and it’s time for me to just keep forcing ahead. I am going to keep my foot on the gas. But are you gonna be able to do the same Minerva? Or have you gotten to the point where you got the nomination. You got the honor, so who gives a damn now? You can pack it away and phone it in all you want! Are you still moving forward, or have you gone ahead and become.. lazy.
(That was fuel on the fire, Minerva quickly spun into the answer, as she spoke.)
Minerva: Questioning my ability at this point into my career is hilarious. You sound like someone from the New Breed having their first ever main event match with me. I thought you were great at this. But you are once again showing why we don’t walk the same halls.
Raven Robers: Yeah, we don’t walk the same halls. I walk down a hall knowing the future awaits me, and I have remained in the past before like you have. I am no stranger to this stupid headspace that you exist in currently..
Minerva: Sorry, I exist in a legendary main event headspace. You exist in the headspace of the woman who just came up too short when it mattered. I am happy to know every single thing I thought about you was the truth!
Raven Roberts: You tend to be quite ridiculous biting into your own narrative. But congratulations Minerva. Thank you. You wanna believe all this bullshit that isn’t even an ounce truthful? Go right ahead!
Minerva: You know, you should consider yourself lucky after last week. Mentioning Myles in the way you did — I could mention every down moment that Fire and Ice had! Do you want me to go there, Raven?
(Uh oh… Raven went silent, as she glared at Minerva. Sure, she went there last week, but Minerva wasn’t about to go there was she?)
Minerva: What do you want me to bring up first??? The falling out?
(Raven was starting to get angered, as the expression upon Minerva’s face told all.)
Minerva: Or do you want me to really go deep into the rivalry you two had all those years ago. Why don’t we put you on the scene for the entire world’s viewing. We all know what you are Raven Roberts, you are a–
(And then Minerva was cut off. Raven got into her face looking at her! The tension was boiling…. but Minerva just scoffed and backed up.)
Minerva: (Off Mic) Exactly what I expected.
(Minerva left the ring, as Raven Roberts never once broke focus. Raven stood in the ring..)
Stew-O: Minerva about to cut deep, winning those mind games and prevailing as she is winning in that department right now. But how much did she just set Raven Roberts off?
Flannery McCoy: I guess we will find out come the time for Reckless Wiring! But things are really getting tense, and you can’t say Raven didn’t ask for it.
Jake Mercer: My thoughts exactly.
(The closing shot was Raven Roberts glaring on, as Dynasty went to commercials.)
(A commercial plays for Reckless Wiring, with Minerva set to take on Raven Roberts.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Blood Doll’ by Anarchy Club hits the PA speakers and Lee Jacobs walks out with a stern expression on his face. He marches down to the ring, the only thing in sight being the squared circle for him.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, weighing in at 210 pounds, from St. Louis, Missouri… he is the “TOP OF HIS CLASS”, LEE JACOBS!!!
Stew-O: Big opportunity for the debuting Lee Jacobs looking to make a splash right before Reckless Wiring. He certainly thinks highly of himself and we’ll see how far that goes.
(‘Sinister Purpose’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival replaces the theme song and Kirk Redwood stomps out from the back, nodding his head. He grits his teeth, slapping himself a couple times and makes his way down to the ring whilst Amanda Miller walks down with him.)
Flannery McCoy: And here comes a man who not only is looking to make a similar impact but is used to these kinds of matches. Kirk is very experienced and has taken on all kinds of calibers of competitors and this is no different!
(DING DING DING!)
Jake Mercer: Both Kirk and Lee circle the ring, cautious of one another. Kirk wiggles his fingers, inching in for a collar and elbow tie-up while Lee is trying to get a good read on the veteran…
Stew-O: Big shoot! He slides underneath, and Lee grabs a waist lock! He’s got a tight grip, but Kirk takes the wrists and easily pries the grip free, twirling into a wrist lock. Lee falls to a knee, wincing out as Kirk applies pressure to the wrist.
Jake Mercer: Lee rises to his feet and spins into a hammerlock– Kirk spins out into a side headlock! Now he’s applying pressure onto the headlock and Lee groans, reaching out. He wraps his arms around Kirk’s waist and quickly brings him to the ropes. He sends him off!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk slides at Lee’s legs, trying to trip him but Lee leaps over. As Lee is coming off the ropes, Kirk is already up to his feet and launches off into a BIG shoulder block! Kirk looks down at Lee and smirks. He hits off the ropes and now it’s Lee who tries to trip him, but Kirk rolls over it!
Jake Mercer: Lee rises to his feet, going for the legs but Kirk leapfrogs over him! Lee turns back and KIrk takes him down with a headlock takeover! Lee wraps his legs around Kirk’s head, turning him into a headscissors!
Flannery McCoy: He’s got a tight grip, but Kirk places his hands onto his knees, using his grip to create a wide enough gap in the legs of Lee to roll into a jackknife pinfall!
Referee: OOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEE!!
Stew-O: Lee takes the waist of Kirk and slowly bridges up! The two slowly twist and he brings him down for a backslide! NO! KIRK RESISTS IT! Lee tries his hardest to do so but Kirk spins out, ducking his head down to grab he waist and lift him for a bridging northern lights suplex!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWW–
Jake Mercer: Only for a kickout right before two! Kirk rolls through, holding onto Lee’s waist and he rams him into the turnbuckles. Lee holds his back, wincing out as Kirk follows up with a nasty knife edge chop! Lee groans, holding his chest in agony. Kirk takes the wrist of Lee for an irish whip but he reverses it!
Stew-O: The back of Kirk’s head bangs off the top turnbuckle, meanwhile Lee charges into a step-up enzuigiri in the corner! Kirk wobbles forward, holding his head in pain. Lee hits off the ropes behind him, driving him to the canvas with a bulldog!
Flannery McCoy: That one had to have hurt! Kirk holds his jaw in agony and Lee opts not for his first cover of the match but to deal more damage. Whether or not this was a rookie mistake remains to be seen as he slowly picks him up…
Jake Mercer: He tries for a snap suplex, but Kirk resists it! He tries to lift Lee for a suplex of his own but Lee floats over behind him and grabs the waist! Kirk reaches out, and spins into a standing switch! He brings him to the ropes for an O’Connor Roll and Lee holds on!
Stew-O: …But so does Kirk! He yanks Lee off the ropes and tosses him with a GERMAN SUPLEX! Lee holds the back of his head, rolling to the apron. Lee slowly uses the ropes to pull himself up and Kirk rises, approaching him.
Jake Mercer: Lee tries for a shoulder thrust in between the ropes but Kirk sidesteps it and now his body is hanging in between the ropes! Chest kick! Another chest kick! Kirk backs up, trying for a punt kick to the jaw but Lee evades it just in time!
Flannery McCoy: Kirk looks up in confusion, and Lee cracks him with a forearm smash to the jaw! He tries to enter the ring but Kirk nails him with a palm strike that stuns him! Lee’s only saving grace is the ropes and now Kirk hits off the ropes!
Stew-O: LEE SLINGSHOTS OVER THE ROPES BEFORE HE CAN GET THERE THOUGH, TOSSING HIM WITH A BEAUTIFUL ARM DRAG!
Jake Mercer: Kirk rolls through, shaking out his arm but Lee takes him down with another arm drag! This time he holds the arm and applies a kneeling armbar! Kirk has nowhere to go as Lee presses down on the shoulder and elbow! He rolls over, gritting his teeth.
Flannery McCoy: Regardless, Lee is still putting that work in on Kirk. He tries to get up, but Lee brings him right back down. He continues applying pressure on the arm, clamping his arm onto the shoulder and trying to work on the nerves.
Stew-O: Kirk remains defiant, doing all that he can to try and get up. But as he does, Lee twirls under the arm for an arm wringer! And then a shoulder block to the arm! And another arm wringer, and he sweeps him to his back!
Jake Mercer: With Kirk on his back, Lee lays his arm out and leaps into a stomp to it! Kirk sits up, holding his arm in agony, and then Lee throws him onto his back and jumps into another stomp! Kirk wails out in agony, and Lee goes right back to that kneeling armbar!
Stew-O: He’s clearly got nowhere to go! Trapped in the center of the ring, this would certainly be a quick and unexpected end to this matchup! But Kirk refuses to give up here, despite all that Lee is doing to his arm!
Flannery McCoy: Now Kirk is trying his hardest to get the fans into this one and to his credit they’re certainly starting to come to life! He rolls over, starting to mount his way up…
Jake Mercer: BUT LEE CUTS IT OFF WITH AN EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO THE ARM! Kirk holds his arm, shaking it out. Lee takes the wrist to twirl under and shove to the ropes! He goes for a boot to the arm, but KIRK CATCHES HIS FOOT! LEE HOBBLES ON ONE LEG, TRYING TO STOP HIM!
Stew-O: The leg gets thrown down and Kirk shoves him to the ropes! Kirk bounces off the ropes behind him with a KNEE STRIKE TO THE JAW! Lee falls to the ropes, bouncing off the middle ropes this time– ANOTHER KNEE FROM KIRK AS HE’S TRYING TO STAND UPRIGHT! LEE IS DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: He’s wasting no time! Kirk drags Lee up and turns him, hooking the waist. HE SPINS AROUND, SLAMMING HIM WITH A HALF AND HALF SUPLEX! Kirk shakes out that bad arm, taking a deep breath as he’s practically living off of adrenaline now.
Stew-O: Lee rolls over, holding the back of his head. He crawls to the ropes and uses them to slowly rise… He staggers backwards, turning into Kirk– who takes the head and arms, grabbing him into a butterfly!
Jake Mercer: Kirk tries to lift him vertically, but the arm gives out on him! Lee takes the arm and twirls under, pulling him forward as he snaps his head into the canvas with a DDT! Kirk isn’t even moving and Lee rolls him over for the cover!
Referee: OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Flannery McCoy: KIRK GETS A SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME! A close call but not close enough for Lee to leave with the victory here! He holds at his shoulder, wincing out. Lee slowly rises to his feet, wiping a sweat.
Jake Mercer: He pulls Kirk up and turns him, grabbing the head and neck as he tries for a rear naked choke hold, which he calls the ‘Dropou–’ KIRK RAMS BACKWARDS, SENDING THEM INTO THE TURNBUCKLES BACK FIRST! Kirk stumbles out, and Lee holds his back in pain.
Stew-O: It seems Kirk is trying to take a breather, but he realizes Lee is still hurting! He charges into a corner european uppercut with the good arm! He takes him by the head and throws him to the center of the ring! Kirk bounces off the ropes with ANOTHER ONE!
Jake Mercer: Lee falls to his knees, holding his chest and neck in pain. He leans his head down, breathing heavily. Lee is trying his hardest to recover– BUT KIRK HITS OFF THE TURNBUCKLES AT FULL SPEED! ‘BLITZKRIEG BOP!’ THE RUNNING KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD PUTS LEE FLAT ON HIS FACE!
Flannery McCoy: KIRK ROLLS LEE OVER, HOOKING THE LEGS! HE NODS ALONG TO THE COUNT, WANTING THIS TO BE THE END RIGHT HERE!
Referee: OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRR—
Stew-O: LEE KICKS OUT! JUST IN TIME! THE ROOKIE SAVES THE MATCH FOR HIMSELF! What a performance this has been so far, but it’s still going to take a lot more to try and end this one! Kirk rolls over, shaking out his hurting arm.
Jake Mercer: Kirk pulls Lee up and turns him around. He grabs the waist and tries for a wrist clutch, but Lee falls to a knee, resisting it. Kirk struggles, taking a deep breath.
Flannery McCoy: Lee’s done his homework and he knows Kirk wants to try and keep taking him out of this match, so he fights for that grip over his wrist on the floor! Kirk falls to a kneel, trying to deadlift Lee and get him back up…
Stew-O: But Lee wraps his arms around the bad arm of Kirk! Kirk grits his teeth, and then Lee throws a back elbow to the forehead! He throws another one! And the third one completely stuns Kirk!
Flannery McCoy: With Kirk stunned, Lee rises to his feet and does an arm wringer takedown, slamming him shoulder first! Kirk is laid out on his face, and Lee drops back into a FUJIWARA ARMBAR!
Jake Mercer: It’s in tight! Kirk yells out in agony as Lee pulls back on that arm! He sears back with an extremely tight grip, trying to hurt Lee with all of his might!
Stew-O: He takes the arm and starts to transition, trapping it between his legs… He reaches for the neck, trying at at crossface– but Kirk has enough in him to roll over and now he’s in Lee’s guard! With one good arm, HE STARTS THROWING HUGE ELBOWS TO THE HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: Lee’s head is being bounced off the canvas! He has to raise his arms up but those elbows are still geting through! Lee rolls over, covering up. Kirk follows him up and takes the arm and waist. He places it down, HOISTING HIM UP FOR THE ‘BASTARDPLEX!”
Jake Mercer: NOT ENOUGH! Lee breaks the wrist-clutch, going for that bad arm of Kirk’s! He swings behind, taking the head and neck! H DROPS BACK, LOCKING IN THE ‘DROPOUT!’ REAR NAKED CHOKE HOLD IS IN TIGHT, AND HE’S GOT THE BODYSCISSORS!
Stew-O: Kirk is fighting the hold with all of his might but does he have enough power in his arm to try and fight the hands of Lee?!?!
Flannery McCoy: Lee is pulling back with all of his might regardless! Kirk has his work cut out for him here!
Stew-O: He keeps fighting it, though! He pulls at the hands and now Lee isn’t focusing on the body scissors! Kirk scoots to his side, and starts to open up that body scissors!
Jake Mercer: The two roll to their back, but Kirk flips backward and pins Lee’s shoulders to the mat!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTHHHHHRRRRRRREE—
Flannery McCoy: LEE KICKS OUT! BUT HE ROLLS OVER, TRYING TO KEEP THE HOLD IN! KIRK TAKES THE ARMS AND JUDO TOSSES JIM OVERHEAD!
Stew-O: Kirk grabs Lee from behind, but Lee stuns him with a nasty back elbow! Lee hits off the ropes and Kirk swings for him! Lee ducks under and Kirk bounces off the ropes…
Jake Mercer: AND GETS SCOOPED UP FOR A BIG TIME SAMOAN DROP! KIRK HOLDS HIS RIBS IN AGONY AS LEE DROPPED THE BACK OF HIS HEAD ON THEM!
Flannery McCoy: Lee claps his hands, starting to rise. Kirk rolls over, gasping out. He starts to pull himself up and Lee twirls under him, taking him by the waist! NO! NO!
Stew-O: GOODNESS! GERMAN SUPLEX INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! KIRK GOT ROCKED HARD FROM THAT! Lee is up to his feet and he hits off the buckles!
Jake Mercer: DOUBLE KNEES TO THE CHEST IN THE CORNER! LEE DRAGS KIRK UP AND PLACES HIM ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! LEE GRABS HIS HEAD AND PEPPERS HIM WITH REPEATED FOREARM SMASHES TO KEEP HIM AT BAY!
Flannery McCoy: He begins to work his way up the middle rope, taking away of Kirk’s stunned state. He starts to move him to the top rope and grabs him in a cravate, looking around.
Stew-O: THIS COULD BE IT! HE TRIES TO LEAP INTO THE ‘GATEWAY CUTT—‘ KIRK HOLDS ONTO THE ROPES AND LEE FLIES OFF THE TOP ROPE AND HITS THE CANVAS!
Jake Mercer: Kirk drops from the turnbuckles and to the apron, grabbing the ropes. He shakes them, calling Lee up. Lee slowly rises, looking up—
Stew-O: HE DIVES INTO THE ‘.50 CAL!!’ SPRINGBOARD SUPERMAN PUNCH DROPS LEE! HE CRUMBLES TO THE MAT! AND KIRK HOOKS THE LEGS!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING DING DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner of this match, KIRK REDWOOD!!!
(Kirk rolls off of Lee as ‘Sinister Purpose’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival begins playing. He rises to his feet and the referee takes his arm, raising it up. He nods his head, relishing in the victory.)
Jake Mercer: Certainly a hard earned victory for Kirk Redwood tonight! A strong showing from Lee Jacobs in his debut, but you’re going to need a lot working for you in order to defeat him.
Flannery McCoy: Lee has nothing to be ashamed of with this match. He took the fight to Kirk and if he keeps at it, I could see bright things for him but now Mork continues to try and move up on Dynasty.
(Soon after, Lee Jacobs rolls out of the ring, disappointed about his loss. He leaves. Kirk looks over at Amanda, who nods, and then takes it upon herself to get a microphone. She hands it off to Kirk.)
Stew-O: Well, here’s something that wasn’t planned. Kirk Redwood is given a microphone. I wonder what he has to say?
(Soon, Kirk’s theme fades and the fans all watch on keenly, curious to see what Redwood has on his mind.)
Kirk Redwood: You know, ever since the start of the season, I’ve been wanting to change the perception around me. I came in wide-eyed and ready to tackle the world. That was my mission ever since I came to this brand. All I wanted was a chance to show the world that I am capable of much more and that I wasn’t gonna be some meandering jackass content with coasting by. No. I’ve done that enough times in my career, and I’m ready to move forward. I want to be a champion again, and this time, I wanna do it by myself. I meant it when I said that. I’m definitely keeping my eyes on that Interwire Championship match ‘cause regardless of who wins, I’m coming straight after them and I’m gonna fight like hell to make sure I get to hold that title with my own hands. However, on the topic of Reckless Wiring, I’ve realized that, as it stands now, I won’t be competing on that show.
(Kirk pauses for a moment, and a few fans boo.)
Kirk Redwood: Yeah, I know, I know, I know, but I’m not gonna be standing here bitching and crying about how unfair it is. I understand there is a lot that I need to do, a lot that I gotta prove. I’m not gonna be some arrogant jackass who thinks I’m entitled to anything here. Still, I’m also not gonna sit back and allow for shit to pass me by. I wanna change, I wanna be one of the best, and for me, getting the chance to prove that at the first marquee event for this brand will be something that I need to make sure I get that point across clearly to everyone here. After all, this is the land of opportunity, right? And what better way of seizing that than by creating an opportunity for myself? I sure as hell don’t wanna be staying at home and miss the chance to be able to show how much I have grown as a competitor, so, I’m gonna make sure I get to compete at Reckless Wiring by issuing out a challenge to anyone who wants to come and face me.
Jake Mercer: Whoa! Did we hear that right? Kirk Redwood is looking for a fight and he wants it at Reckless Wiring?!
Flannery McCoy: We sure did. He said he’s gonna create an opportunity for himself, and he laid it out for anyone to take!
(The fans are excited at this prospect, while Kirk remains steadfast and determined.)
Kirk Redwood: I ain’t a picky guy, either. Doesn’t matter who you are. I’m itching to crawl my way to the top of the competition, and I’ll take on anyone who wants to show their face and accept my offer. All I ask is that if there’s anyone in the back out there who’s even remotely curious about this, don’t keep me waiting.
Stew-O: Well, Kirk is serious about his intent! He’s willing to take on anyone at Reckless Wiring! However, who is going to answer the call for themself?
(Anticipation builds as Kirk begins to pace back and forth, eyeing the stage. So too do the fans. Everyone waits for an Elitist to come out.)
(…)
(…)
(…)
(Then, ‘Invincible’ by Pop Smoke plays, stirring a thunderous reaction from the audience.)
Stew-O: OH MY!! COULD IT BE?!
(Sure enough, Chris Elite walks out, causing the already-loud crowd to somehow get even more loud. Cheers ring out. Kirk looks slightly surprised at first, but then, a smirk follows suit, realizing that the hall of famer himself has accepted his challenge.)
Jake Mercer: This bald-headed geezer is back?! Oh, man, I thought this was supposed to be a new season of Dynasty! 😩
Flannery McCoy: Well, your disdain is in a small minority, Jake, because the fans are absolutely electric for the returning Chris Elite! We haven’t seen him since he last competed at Operation: Doomsday this past March! Now, five months later, he’s back in EAW!
(Chris Elite gets in the ring, already having a microphone in his hand. His theme soon fades, but the crowd’s enthusiasm doesn’t, as they begin to chant for him.)
Crowd: CHRIS! CHRIS! CHRIS! CHRIS! CHRIS!
Stew-O: The reaction is insane! Guess it’s safe to say that the EAW Universe is more than happy to see Chris Elite back!
(Chris takes in the reaction for a moment before he redirects his attention over to Kirk. He gives him a brief nod before he starts to speak.)
Chris Elite: Alright, Kirk. I hear ya. In fact, if imma be completely honest, I kinda resonate with your words. Last season was supposed to be a bit of a comeback era for me, and for a while, it was going that way. I was getting some good wins here and there, I was consistent, I showed that I wasn’t gonna slow down… and then, things took a dip. Ain’t too proud to admit that. Especially after Operation: Doomsday, I was checked out and decided that I needed to take a step back instead of tryna trudge through aimlessly. It was tough, but ultimately, it was the right thing to do. I’m back, charged, refreshed, and just like you, I’m ready to make sure that everyone here takes me seriously. Of course, I’m a hall of famer and… well, you ain’t, but that doesn’t mean I’m content or the type of person who’s gonna settle. There’s a lot of stuff I gotta do, and seeing as how you’re just as eager to get into the ring, I’m ready to fight, too.
Kirk Redwood: You are, huh? Good. Then we’re game for next week?
(Chris grins.)
Chris Elite: We are.
(And the fans cheer.)
Stew-O: Well EAW Universe, looks like you all get a surprise! Chris Elite and Kirk Redwood have agreed to face each other at Reckless Wiring, and when it gets finalized, that’s another match for everyone to vote on for which stipulation you want to see them compete in!
Jake Mercer: Can one of the options be hair versus hair?
Flannery McCoy: Uh…
(Chris acknowledges Kirk one last time before he leaves. Kirk looks on, satisfied that he has his opponent for Reckless Wiring. With that, he leaves the ring with Amanda, and Dynasty fades elsewhere.)
(Dynasty pans to the backstage area as we see none other than; Michael Belfort. Microphone clenched tightly at hand.)
Michael Belfort: Ladies and gentlemen, I am introducing you to my guest at this time, Mia Santoro!
(Mia Santoro strolled onto the scene as she was relishing hefty events from last week.)
Mia Santoro: Hello, happy to have a segment of the show where the shine is on me!
Michael Belfort: Indeed. But I wanna ask the question, following the events that happened last week, how do you feel about the situation and how it is embroiled?
Mia Santoro: I wanna start and just be straight upfront. I don’t really give a damn about the repercussions. Or what trouble I got myself into. Truthfully there is nothing in my mind that makes me think about what trouble I might have gotten myself into. You think I really have time to sit and reflect on that, when my career is moving so fast? No. I don’t really care about the trouble I got myself into — what matters is that I checked out and got my receipt. For everything that has been happening in the lead-up to Reckless Wiring! and you know, rightfully so.
(Mia Santoro did a hand gesture, as the grin appeared on her face. Soaking in the moment, as the focus was on her.)
Mia Santoro: Luckily for me, my 8 hours are in, it’s time for me to officially clock out and go home. My shift is over, and the job is done! So with that stated……It’s time to ascend forth and move onto bigger and better things!!! and-—
(That silence was cut off, as Mia Santoro could be seen glancing as an imposing figure stood over her. That figure was none other than…)
Daniella Atlas: I am sure, you are anticipating me to rip your arm out of socket, right chére?
(Daniella looked at Mia. As she just let out a chuckle. Daniella was surprisingly super calm and collected.)
Daniella Atlas: I am proud of you. I’ll give you the kudos you deserve. You made a move that could be viewed as risky, and it achieved your perfection. But…unfortunately for you, chére… you don’t realize how much of a mistake you just made. You can do as you must, get by via whatever nefarious means. But let’s be honest here. With the presentation you have given yourself, when the push comes to shove….. you got one over me. But what matters is what happens when we are all in that ring, and the bell rings. And we both know that is just not going to bode well for you at all, Mia.
(That pissed off Mia Santoro. As she was quick to snap back!)
Mia Santoro: Are you being serious right now? Not going to “bode well” for me? Do you realize how close I was to being a champion already, WHILST you were being chucked over a top rope.
Daniella Atlas: So close to being champion. But yet why aren’t you champion? Why am I not addressing you as a champion? Or hell, for that matter? Why not even a former champ! Because when you had all the chances in your hand.. you flopped.
Mia Santoro: You really wanna see me be angry. And I find that funny, do you wanna beat around the bush here? Ever since coming to Dynasty it has been a 180⁰ for you. But you are not her, you are not even near the conversation. You are this bleeding struggle that stands in my way of excellence. I am sick and tired of people standing in my way. I don’t care how “intimidating” you try to be. The only thing intimidating about you is how fake that french accent sounds sometimes.
(That insult at the heritage may be what just got Mia Santoro killed. But Daniella did a good job shrugging it off.)
Daniella Atlas: That’s funny. My accent must be as fake as your PR relationship with Donovan Duke then. BUT look— you and Holly both know the issue of the circumstances. You are threatened by the sheer aesthetic of myself and Holly alone. But with that stated; I am more than an aesthetic. I am not what Holly Arrow has pretended to be her entire career. I go out there and get the proper results done, and I don’t ride the same one trick wave I have my entire career. You simply have no line of defense other than cheap Kindergarten insults, Mia.
Mia Santoro: That is kinda funny. Kindergarten insults because your career in the future is gonna be teaching Kindergartens how to count to 3! But yeah. I don’t give a damn about you, but if there is one thing we could agree on, that third party idiot pretends to be something she is not all the damn time. But look, if you wanna talk about a PR relationship-—
(And then, that third party made her presence known. Holly Arrow walked into the scene, hands on her hips.)
Holly Arrow: Honestly, before I even start. I heard the conversation, you two were being immensely loud. But with that said, I was gonna interrupt this whole entire thing anyways. So Mia, what is that little sneak diss that you were saying? Kind of funny how shady that was… who were you speaking on, exactly?
Mia Santoro: Uh, yeah. Well that was towards some idiot. You know what I mean? In the grand scheme of things, they aren’t so important—
(Whilst Mia was trying to lie herself out of the brutal situation, Holly Arrow placed a hand gesture making her be quiet.)
Holly Arrow: Just tell the truth, It seems as if you are as dumb as I presumed. Congratulations on being nothing more than another idiot on the Dynasty roster.
Mia Santoro: Another idiot on the Dynasty roster? Is this the “disrespect Mia Santoro” day? I’ll be damned to my grave before a one trick pony makes such a statement about me.
Daniella Atlas: That’s funny. But yeah, Holly. She stated that you were an idiot who pretends to be something she is not.
Holly Arrow: Oh seriously now? I thought the same thing about you, Mia. You try to be an actual accomplished professional, yet do a miserable job at it.
Mia Santoro: If we traded places? I sure as hell am not throwing it all away against Harper Lee!
Holly Arrow: Yeah, and by that jurisdiction, I am standing here as the Specialists Champion. Is this the road you wanna walk down?
(Daniella stood there, being a slight instigator with a smirk on her face.)
Daniella Atlas: I’ll admit how funny it is, this imbecile Mia Santoro, running away. Mon dieu, if I were ever this stupid, just end me.
Mia Santoro: Ah, you know what? FUCK IT.
(AND A PUNCH WAS THROWN FROM MIA SANTORO RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF HOLLY ARROW! Daniella watched with a huge grin across her face.)
Mia Santoro: I have a match to worry about, the both of you can go do something productive now!
(Mia Santoro was off, as Daniella Atlas looked at Holly Arrow holding her nose… and marched off. Holly was the only one present now.)
Holly Arrow: (Holding nose) Stupid bitch..
(With that closing shot of Holly Arrow, Dynasty faded elsewhere.)
(‘Notorious’ by UPSAHL begins to play through the speakers as Mia Santoro comes out, talking her shit and hyping herself up. The spotlight is sparkly and shining on her and she loves it.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM KEY WEST, FLORIDA…SHE IS ‘LA DESPERADA’…MIA SANTORO!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Mia Santoro has found herself in a situation between Daniella Atlas and Holly Arrow at Reckless Wiring in a triple threat. Most recently, it seems like things haven’t fallen in the favor of Mia Santoro. Two weeks ago, she found herself on the receiving end in a tag team match against Usagi Senshi and Saori Aizen. This week, she looks to turn her luck around with securing the victory over the number one contender for the New Breed Championship!
Flannery McCoy: Mia Santoro is sassy, loud, outspoken, but that’s part of her charm from when we saw her and Donovan Duke last season! Part of the opposites attract! She saw Donovan getting the Cash in the Vault briefcase, now she looks to earn her big accomplishment and defeating the number one contender could turn some heads.
Jake Mercer: Mia Santoro has all the tools to do fantastic things on the Dynasty brand. Vincent Mondrian is no slouch either and is going to be a challenge. She is going to need to keep calm and remain focused if she wants a shot at winning this match!
(‘Lacrimosa [Epic Version]’ by Samuel Kim begins to play as Vincent Mondrian comes out from the back with a snarl to his face. He remains clearly focused on the task on hand that’s defeating Mia Santoro.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT…FROM LAREN,NETHERLANDS…WEIGHING IN AT THE WEIGHT OF 205 POUNDS…HE IS ‘THE RESOLUTE’…VINCENT MONDRIAN!!!!!!
Stew-O: Next weekend, Vincent Mondrian will compete in the biggest match of his career so far when he will go one-on-one against BRAE for the New Breed Championship. Now, this is going to be one match that I am excited to see! While some of the options for the stipulation seem simple, I think it works for the two of them. ‘Fans Bring The Weapons’ might be the questionable one, but Fight Pit and 2 out of 3 Falls are always amazing to see! Good ole wrestling!
Flannery McCoy: Fight Pit is one that intrigues my interest. But ‘Fans Bring The Weapons’ is one that will make the fans feel involved in the match, so this can go either way, honestly!
Jake Mercer: Vincent Mondrian prides himself on being able to execute some of the finest submission moves, so there’s no doubt that he will be looking to lock one of those submissions on Mia Santoro in this match!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Vincent Mondrian and Mia Santoro begin to lock up, but it’s Vincent that manages to back Mia to the ropes! Still, it seems like we’re still fighting for control of these opening moments of the match! She tries to push herself out of the corner, but Vincent manages to keep her there! The referee is going to begin his count!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Flannery McCoy: Vincent Mondrian backs up! He has his hands in a leveled position, so that the referee knows that he won’t be up for any funny business! Mia Santoro goes in to lock up with ‘The Resolute,’ but his strength happens to overwhelm the lighter woman as he manages to push her back, causing her to drop down! I don’t think that Mia is going to appreciate it, but that woman can fighT! VINCENT IS GESTURING FOR ‘LA DESPERADA’ TO GET BACK UP AS MIA DOES THAT —
JAKE MERCER: — VINCENT MONDRIAN CONNECTS WITH AN OPEN-HANDED CHOP TO THE CHEST OF MIA SANTORO, WHICH STOPS HER IN HER TRACKS! VINCENT CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER ONE, WHICH CAUSES MIA TO STAGGER BACK! VINCENT CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER ONE AS THAT TAKES HER TO THE ROPES! Then, we see Vincent connecting with some punches all around the face and chest of Mia! With that, Vincent grabs Mia’s arm before whipping her to the opposite set of ropes across from them! Mia rebounds off of those ropes as Vincent looks to take her down with a clothesline! But, Mia ducks the clothesline before rebounding off the ropes that she was just previously at and looks to kick him away!
Stew-O: Vincent Mondrian manages to grab Mia Santoro’s leg as Mia is in a bit of panic at the moment! Vincent connects with a dragon screw leg whip before Mia could even think about doing something! MIA FINDS HERSELF IN A CRAWLING POSITION BEFORE VINCENT STOMPS HER RIGHT SET OF FINGERS! THIS CAUSES MIA TO BEGIN CRYING OUT IN PAIN! VINCENT STOMPS ON THOSE SAME SET OF FINGERS AGAIN BEFORE STANDING ABOVE HER, GETTING HER BY THE WAIST AND TAKING HER BACK WITH A BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX! HE HOLDS HER THERE FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Mia Santoro kicks out! But, Vincent Mondrian manages to get Mia by those same set of hands again! He begins to bend the arm back as Mia is shaking her head no! I think that she may know what’s ahead —
(SNAP!)
Jake Mercer: MIA SANTORO BEGINS TO CRY OUT IN PAIN AS SHE HOLDS ONTO THOSE CRACKED FINGERS! I CANNOT IMAGINE HOW THAT MUST FEEL FOR HER! VINCENT MONDRIAN GETS THAT SAME HAND OF HER’S BEFORE SLAMMING IT TO THE CANVAS! YIKES! THIS CAUSES MIA TO COLLAPSE ON THE MAT AGAIN! VINCENT LOOKS LIKE HE FOUND A TARGET THERE! VINCENT BEGINS TO BEND MIA’S ARM BACK, PUTTING FOCUS ON THOSE FINGERS BEFORE DELIVERING A NASTY STOMP TO THEM! VINCENT TAKES MIA TO THE BOTTOM ROPE AND NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE HE’S INTERTWINING THAT BOTTOM ROPE WITH HER HAND! OH GOD…HE KICKS IN THAT BOTTOM ROPE WITH MIA’S HAND!
Stew-O: Right now, we are seeing a great job with Vincent Mondrian finding a target with Mia Santoro’s hand! We’re aware that he LOVES submission moves and will do anything to weaken a specific body part, so that he can apply those submission moves! NOW, WE SEE VINCENT STEPPING ON THE HAND OF MIA AS HE GRABS ONTO THE ROPES AS HE DOES THAT! MIA BEGINS TO SCREAM IN PAIN AS THE REFEREE IS LOOKING TO BEGIN HIS COUNT!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET OFF OF HER, VINCENT!
Flannery McCoy: Not the one to speak during his match, he is always focused on trying to secure the victory! Mia Santoro is able to separate herself from the bottom rope as she checks her hand! But, she’s not ready to throw in the towel yet! She wants a piece of Vincent and will not stop until she does! Although, she is going to need to be quite careful about that hand of her’s! She uses her left hand to grasp onto the ropes and help get herself back up! Vincent goes right after her, not wanting to waste any time — MIA CONNECTS WITH AN ELBOW TO VINCENT’S FACE AS THAT TAKES HIM BACK! VINCENT GOES RIGHT AFTER HER AS MIA A THRUST KICK AS THAT TAKES VINCENT DOWN TO ONE KNEE! MIA FOLLOWS THAT UP BY CONNECTING WITH A ROLLING THUNDER INTO A DROPKICK AS SHE TAKES VINCENT DOWN! MIA GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOO—
Jake Mercer: Vincent Mondrian kicks out! Mia Santoro gets Vincent in a front headlock before connecting with some stiff punches to the spine of ‘The Resolute!’ This manages to take Vincent down to one knee! Mia goes back to the ropes and rebounds off of them! She connects with a somersault clothesline as she takes Vincent down! But, it seems like Mia is getting things started around here! She follows that up with a dropkick as she sends him to one of the corners! Mia goes right after him with a huge body splash as that manages to take him down! Mia connects with a series of stiff punches with her left fist! She is avoiding throwing punches with the right and that might be the best thing that she could do! She takes a step back as she waits for Vincent to find his way back up! Mia begins to connect with mud hole stomps to the ribs of the Dutch!
Stew-O: This causes Vincent Mondrian to collapse down to a seated position at the bottom of the corner! Mia Santoro begins to press her boot against the neck of Vincent, causing his head to go back against the turnbuckle! I think that the referee may need to begin his count here!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! BACK AWAY, MIA!
Flannery McCoy: Mia Santoro begins to back away from the corner! She is stalking Vincent Mondrian back to his feet! Mia connects with a side step enziguri as that causes Vincent to stumble out of the corner! Vincent stumbles out to the corner and into Mia’s hip toss as that causes him to find himself into a seated position! Mia connects with a basement dropkick to the back of his head as that causes him to fall to his side! Then, Mia manages to lift up Vincent and take him back with a sleeper suplex! She just dumped him on the top of his head as she clutched her lower back! I think that may have taken her lower back out!
Jake Mercer: Mia Santoro finds her way back up to her feet! She sees that Vincent Mondrian is finding his way back up, BUT MIA CONNECTS WITH A ‘KILLING MOON’ — THE ROLLING WHEEL KICK THAT TAKES VINCENT BACK TO THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES! SHE BEGINS TO RUN AFTER HIM, LOOKING TO CLOTHESLINE HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! BUT, VINCENT MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH AN ELBOW AS THAT TAKES ‘LA DESPERADA’ BACK! MIA CHARGES RIGHT AT VINCENT, BUT VINCENT MANAGES TO CATCH HER WITH A JUMPING STO AS THAT TAKES HER DOWN! Now, we see that Vincent is turning her to her stomach as he extends her hands behind her — Vincent begins to take her up with a Romero Special! Mia finds herself in a tough position as the referee begins to ask if she wants to submit!
Stew-O: Mia Santoro is shaking her head “no.” She wants nothing more than to continue fighting on! Mia is going to need to look for some way out of this situation! But, it also makes me wonder how long can Vincent Mondrian keep this submission hold on her?
Flannery McCoy: For someone who is accustomed to submission holds, it has to be for a while, Stew! But, Vincent Mondrian gets himself into a seated position as he still has Mia Santoro’s arms stretched behind her — HE JUST KICKS HER FORWARD AS MIA CRASHES ON HER FACE! VINCENT RISES TO HIS FEET AS HE MANAGES TO PULL MIA BY HER ARMS AND CRASH HIS KNEE TOWARDS THE FRONT OF HER SKULL! THAT’S THE KAMIGOYE AS MIA GOES BACK! WE SEE VINCENT GOING FOR THE COVER AS HE LOOKS TO PUT AN END TO THIS MATCH UP!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Mia Santoro with a kick out! We see Vincent Mondrian beginning to think about ways that he could possibly end this match! I think that he may be going for that arm-trap crossface that he’s dubbed the ‘Mondrian Lock!’ HE TRIES TO GET MIA IN POSITION FOR THE SUBMISSION HOLD! BUT, MIA IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION THAT SHE’S IN AND WHAT SHE MUST DO TO PREVENT THIS MATCH FROM ENDING! SHE ROLLS HERSELF OUT OF THE RING BEFORE VINCENT CAN GET THE SUBMISSION MOVE FULLY APPLIED! VINCENT SEEMS A BIT ANNOYED BY THAT, BUT HE ROLLS HIMSELF UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING TO MEET MIA, BUT MIA MANAGES TO PUSH HIM, SO THAT HIS SPINE HITS THE EDGE OF THE APRON! I THINK THAT MIA WAS PLAYING POSSUM JUST LONG ENOUGH TO TAKE VINCENT OFF GUARD!
Stew-O: That was a smart game from Mia Santoro as she follows that up by a superkick that takes Vincent Mondrian down! Then, she follows that by a roundhouse kick as that takes Vincent down! ‘Two for the Road’ is what Mia likes to call that move! She finds herself on top of the apron before gesturing and screaming for Vincent to turn himself around as Mia manages to connect with a meteora as that takes Vincent down! Mia connects with a series of left punches to the face of ‘The Resolue’ as she looks to take him down! You see that she’s being very careful about making sure that she does use that right hand that Vincent has spent a portion of the match targeting! She picks up Vincent and rolls him back inside the ring! Now, we see Mia going for the top turnbuckle! What do you think that Mia is looking to do here?!?!
Flannery McCoy: I think that she may be going for either ‘Eye in the Sky’ or ‘Chase the Feeling’ — which is nothing more than a diving leg drop! Either could determine the outcome of this match! FROM THE TOP ROPE, MIA SANTORO FLIES AS SHE CONNECTS WITH ‘EYE IN THE SKY’ — THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS FROM THE TOP ROPE AS SHE LANDS ON VINCENT MONDRIAN! SHE IS IN A PERFECT SPOT FOR ANOTHER PIN FALL ATTEMPT! NOW, IS THIS GOING TO PUT DOWN VINCENT?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTT—
Stew-O: Vincent Mondrian with a kick out! I don’t think that Mia Santoro can believe it! She thought that she may have had the victory here! But, it seems like she’s heading for the top rope once more! I think that we’re going to be seeing ‘Chase the Feeling’ here! Now, we are seeing Vincent find his way back to his feet! He is looking to meet Mia Santoro on that top rope! But, Mia is looking to punch him out of her way! She wants nothing more than that clear view on that top rope! But, Vincent finds his way back up as he connects with a wicked headbutt that causes Mia to stumble forward, but what is Vincent looking to do here?!?!
Flannery McCoy: HE POSITIONS HIMSELF IN FRONT OF MIA SANTORO! MIA HAS HER BACK TURNED AGAINST VINCENT MONDRIAN AS HE CLIMBS DOWN FROM THE ROPE! MIA FINDS HERSELF IN AN INVERTED HEADLOCK AS SHE GETS DROPPED INTO A DDT! ‘VAN GOGH ASCENDANCY’ CONNECTS AS VINCENT GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Lacrimosa’ plays once more as Vincent Mondrian rolls off Mia Santoro. The referee raises his hand, declaring him the winner.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…VINCENT MONDRIAN!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: What a beautiful execution of ‘Van Gogh Ascendancy!’ A beautiful way to counter this finisher! Mia Santoro thought that she had the match in the bag with ‘Chase the Feeling’ and if Vincent Mondrian would have stayed down, she may have, but Vincent is smart! He saw an opening and took advantage of it!
Stew-O: Mia Santoro was scrappy at times! She kept fighting until she could no longer fight! Still, she is someone that we ought to keep a good look out for! Someone who will continue to turn heads on Dynasty!
Flannery McCoy: Now, Vincent Mondrian picking up a victory a week before facing BRAE for the New Breed Championship. Fight Pit, Fans Bring the Weapons or 2 out of Three Falls. It doesn’t seem to matter because Vincent seems to be ready for it all!
(A commercial plays for Reckless Wiring, with BRAE defending the New Breed Championship against Vincent Mondrian.)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns to a wide pan shot of the Ball Arena as the crowd in Denver murmur in anticipation for what’s to come. To the surprise of many, ‘True Love’ by CFO$ hits, sparking an excited reaction in response. The camera then goes over to the stage to show the Unified Tag Team Champions The Jaded Hearts as they make their way out to the stage. Kassidy Heart and Sienna Jade have a look of amusement on their face after the reaction that they’ve gotten, before they raise their titles in the air as they make their way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… the UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!! KASSIDY HEART AND SIENNA JADE… THE JADED HEARTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well this is definitely a surprise, The Jaded Hearts are here on Friday Night Dynasty and it seems like they’ve come with a purpose. We know we saw them last week at Midsummer Massacre when they hosted the show, but they definitely voiced their displeasure in not being able to defend their Unified Tag Team Championships.
Flannery McCoy: Which we can assume is why they’re here tonight. The next Marquee Event is Reckless Wiring, and the Unified Tag Team Championships are not exactly confined to the Showdown brand. Nothing is stopping them from making an appearance tonight and making themselves known, but the question is will anyone step up?
Jake Mercer: It’s so good to have The Jaded Hearts back here. Gavin Kirkland over on Showdown didn’t deserve them. :wow:
(Kassidy and Sienna both make their way into the ring, heading over and getting microphones for themselves. ‘True Love’ then begins to come to a close as The Jaded Hearts head toward the center of the ring, the crowd quieting down as they begin to speak.)
Sienna Jade: :francis: Kassipoo, do we really have to return to such a crummy brand?
Kassidy Heart: Unfortunately so, blame Kennedy Street and her incompetence as a Showdown General Manager.
Sienna Jade: noah:
Kassidy Heart: At Midsummer Massacre, The Greatest Tag Team of All Time was left without challengers for the Unified Tag Team Championships. While we already considered that a slap to the face, we still went out of our way to do some charity work by bringing that show out of the slumps by hosting it. Even after all of that, we were greeted with disrespect.
Sienna Jade: I’m appalled, disgusted even! It’s like we’re not who we are! It’s like we’re not the greatest duo that Elite Answers Wrestling has ever seen, like we’re not Hall of Famers who are once-in-a-generation level talents! Are you kidding me??? We really have to go to other brands when they should be coming to us! It truly brings a frown to my face.
Kassidy Heart: So we’re not going to beat around the bush here, we’re looking for some challengers. We’re looking for people to face because frankly it would be disappointing if we missed out on a Marquee Event cycle. It’s not very befitting of The Jaded Hearts and our status to be left out, and we’re fixing that. Kennedy Street said that she has us covered? Then so be it, we’re here tonight and we want a challenge for NEXT WEEK.
(The crowd cheers loudly as both of them smirk at one another.)
Sienna Jade: Our run on here last Season kickstarted this record breaking run for us, and now we’re here to remind EVERYONE on Friday Night Dynasty exactly who we are. It doesn’t matter who decides to step up to the plate, it doesn’t matter who is going to be the unfortunate duo that ends up getting fed to the wolves. We’re going to get a good title defense under our belt and we’re going to go back to our brand to continue being the legends that we are. :blessed: Nobody can touch us!
Kassidy Heart: At the end of the day, we know no matter which underwhelming tag team steps up to the plate, at the end of the day, this is going to end with another win under our belt. We’re going to continue our path of dominance, and we’re going to continue being at the very top of the food chain.
(Suddenly, the crowd gets loud, as they notice something happening behind The Jaded Hearts completely unbeknownst to them.)
Sienna Jade: That’s right! Whoever decides to go up against us is going to find out firsthand exactly why we are who we are-
Stew-O: OH! FROM BEHIND! TWO PEOPLE JUST SLID INTO THE RING AND ATTACKED KASSIDY AND SIENNA! THEY’RE TAKEN ABACK AS THEY’RE QUICK TO RETALIATE, BUT WHO THE HELL?!
Flannery McCoy: IT’S SAORI AIZEN AND USAGI SENSHI! THE TWO OF THEM ARE HERE AND WE KNOW THAT THEY’VE RECENTLY FORMED AN ALLIANCE WITH ONE ANOTHER! PERHAPS THEY HAVE THEIR EYES SET ON THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS NOW?!
Jake Mercer: THE JADED HEARTS ARE BEGINNING TO SHOW SOME FIGHT BACK! THEY’RE SENDING STRIKES BACK! THESE TWO TEAMS ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH NOW!
Stew-O: BUT ORDER IS RESTORED AS OFFICIALS ARE QUICK TO BREAK ALL OF THEM UP! THEY’RE DRAGGING THE JADED HEARTS OUT OF THE RING WHO ARE SHOUTING TO GET THEIR POUND OF FLESH RIGHT NOW AFTER THE BLINDSIDE!
Flannery McCoy: BUT AS THEY’RE HOLDING BACK SAORI AND USAGI IT LOOKS LIKE SAORI HAS PICKED UP A MICROPHONE!
Saori Aizen: YOU WANT CHALLENGERS FOR THE TAG TITLES?! YOU GOT THEM! WE ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE AND WE ACCEPT IT FOR RECKLESS WIRING!
(The crowd cheers loudly as The Jaded Hearts are absolutely furious, shouting from the outside of the ring as they’re being escorted out of there.)
Stew-O: Well it’s official! At Reckless Wiring it’s going to be The Jaded Hearts versus Saori Aizen and Usagi Senshi for the Unified Tag Team Titles! What a match is that going to be!
Flannery McCoy: We know Usagi has been so close to getting the tag titles in the past, but now that she has a new teammate, will we be seeing new Champions? Let’s find out as they’re match is up next!
(Saori and Usagi are seen preparing for their match, calming themselves down as it’s the last shot seen before the camera fades out.)
(A commercial plays for Reckless Wiring, with the Jaded Hearts set to take on Usagi Senshi and Saori Aizen.)
(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring, as Usagi Senshi and Saori Aizen are seen preparing for their match after their tense encounter before the break.)
Stephie Love: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: Already in the ring… THE TEAM OF SAORI AIZEN, AND USAGI SENSHI!!!
Stew-O: Now here we have a duo that can make quite the significant difference here on EAW in quite the short notice, as Usagi Senshi & Saori Aizen are looking to come together as a tandem duo against the Jaded Hearts at Reckless Wiring. Tonight can serve to be a night where they present themselves as the threat that’s worthy of such a match.
Jake Mercer: I mean, considering the competition tonight and how they’ve been dormant for this week prior, that won’t be such a difficult task if history has proven anything. They seem all too focused tonight, and we’re bound to be given an example made…
(‘Ready Aim Fire’ by Blue Stahli can be heard blaring throughout the speakers, as Mattius Burke makes his way out with a grin on his face. He nods to himself before the match ahead, as ‘Chalk Outline’ by Three Days Grace can be heard with AJ Redding emerging from the back as well. They look toward each other, giving nods before walking down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: And their opponents… THE TEAM OF AJ REDDING, AND MATTIUS BURKE!!!
Stew-O: These two have not enjoyed the most prosperous season so far, but a lot can change over the course of these next couple months to come. If they are able to focus and come together as a team, tonight can be a good route for both of them to gain momentum.
Flannery McCoy: Which may prove to be difficult as they go up against a team that is preparing for a showdown with the most accomplished tag team that EAW has seen, but this can surely be an upset…
(DING! DING! DING)
Stew-O: AND WE ARE OFF! AJ Redding started on one side, Saori Aizen in here on the other. There is some definite interest here between this tag team match. We have seen Saori Aizen and Usagi Senshi come to interesting agreements as of late– AND LET’S SEE HOW THAT DEFLECTS, AS IMMEDIATELY SAORI AIZEN HITS A DROPKICK TO THE KNEE OF AJ REDDING! AJ didn’t have much time to respond, but here we go now, as Saori slowly already is ascending to the top rope! She remains high up there now, as she glares down at AJ Redding who is slowly rising up and onto his feet- AND A MISSILE DROPKICK TO AJ REDDING CONNECTS! A hot and heavy start here, as Saori Aizen goes for the cover!
ONEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOO!
THR–
Flannery McCoy: But Saori has to keep working forth, as AJ Redding kicks out! Saori suddenly lifts AJ Redding up off the mat. A wrist lock applied onto him now! As she is trying to wear and tear him, as we dig deeper into the match. AJ Redding hasn’t been able to get going so far! But look at this! Much desired offense now, as Usagi Senshi tags herself in!
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: Aizen still is holding the arm of AJ– AS USAGI COMES DOWN ON THAT ARM WITH A KNEE! You can see the ache in AJ Redding’s eye. On the other side of the ring, Mattias Burke is kind of amping up and saying come on to his tag team partner! But Usagi Senshi is on the offense now. She is showing some aggression and frustration, as she puts AJ Redding in the corner– AND A VICIOUS CHOP TO THE CHEST CONNECTS! That one had to hurt, as Usagi Senshi now backs up– AND HURLS HERSELF AT AJ, LOOKING FOR A VICIOUS FOREARM STRIKE IN THE CORNER! BUT AJ MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! AJ used the swinging momentum of Usagi Senshi against her, and she made a pretty brutal landing there!
Jake Mercer: That was a good situation for Usagi turned into a bad one, you can see her in that corner tending to the hurt elbow– BUT THERE IS A CARTWHEEL BACK ELBOW TO THE CORNER ON USAGI SENSHI! A huge swing of momentum for AJ Redding, as both Usagi and AJ are down, both on the lookout for their tag team partners. AJ Redding is crawling, trying to make his way over to Mattias Burke! But Usagi– DECIDES TO COME BACK FOR AJ! GRABBING HIS LEG AND IMMEDIATELY PUTTING HIM IN A SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! SHE STARES DIRECTLY AT MATTIAS BURKE, NOWHERE TO GO FOR AJ REDDING AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME!
Stew-O: Struggling in the middle of the ring is the case right now for AJ Redding. But being precise he is near to the ropes, he just has to keep crawling and keeping himself forth. You know that damage is being done every single second, and this wasn’t the type of hot start that he wanted in this matchup! But AJ Redding finds himself between a rock and a hard place, trying to dig himself out of it as quick as one possibly can! and after that intensive struggle— AJ REDDING FINDS THE BOTTOM ROPE! A sigh of relief on Mattias Burke, his tag team partner has found some salvation.
Flannery McCoy: Usagi Senshi is displaying an act of rage and agressive anger. There is definitely a memo as to where she does NOT wanna let down her tag team partner Saori Aizen. And that is leading her to give the best plausible performance. She should be careful however. That approach is working right now, but the longer you continue to keep this match going, it isn’t gonna check out as much! As Usagi Senshi gives AJ Redding zero time for recuperation! As she immediately lifts him up off the ground! The situation is about to get a whole bunch worse for AJ Redding! AS USAGI SENSHI LIFTS HIM UP, DRILLING HIM WITH A BRAINBUSTER—WAIT A SECOND, AJ REDDING TURNED IT INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE! HE HAS THE PIN CONNECTED!
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!
THR-
Jake Mercer: BUT A KICK OUT BY USAGI SENSHI! A CLOSE ONE FOR AJ REDDING THERE. AS HE HAS A CHANCE NOW, RISING UP TO HIS FEET, AND HITTING USAGI SENSHI ACROSS THE JAW WITH A JUMPING KNEE! The man is finally getting some offense in, as he looks at Usagi Senshi slowly pulling herself up in the corner, AJ Redding has to get it all together now, AS HE RUNS AND HITS USAGI WITH AN ENZIGURI TO THE CORNER! That makes her drop now, as Usagi has been unable to get offense going since that pivotal brainbuster failed. But wait a second– USAGI SENSHI CRAWLS OVER DIRECTLY TOWARDS SAORI AIZEN, AND!
(TAG!)
Stew-O: SAORI AIZEN HAS TAGGED BACK IN, WHILST AJ REDDING WAS RECUPERATING! AND SHE IMMEDIATELY ENTERS THE RING VIA A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY TO AJ REDDING! My goodness! One hell of a way to introduce yourself, as Saori Aizen turns and is fired up! AJ Redding lays in the corner… but wait a second, what is Saori Aizen doing? You can see her, granting an opportunity for AJ Redding right now? I don’t know if this is the best idea, but she is being insistent on it! As she looks at Mattias and AJ..
Saori Aizen: (off-mic) Go ahead, tag in…
(TAG!)
Flannery McCoy: AND MATTIAS BURKE INTRODUCES HIMSELF TO THE MATCH, AS HE IMMEDIATELY SPRAWLS IN AND GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE ON SAORI, WHO DUCKS IT—SENDING A ‘THUNDERCLAP NOVA’ RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW OF MATTIUS!!! BEFORE TRANSITIONING THE MANEUVER INTO ‘MIRROR FLOWER, WATER MOON’!! Mattius is dropped to the mat with authority as Saori is not sparing Mattius ANY of the pressure here, now situating Mattius in her own fixed position… AS ‘COFFIN OF THE IRON MOUNTAIN’ IS APPLIED!!! MATTIUS HAS NOWHERE TO GO!!!!
Jake Mercer: AJ REDDING IS RUSHING INTO THE RING, LOOKING TO SAVE THIS MATCH AND MATTIUS—‘FATALITY’ FROM USAGI QUICKLY PUTS AJ BACK DOWN!!! MATTIUS HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO TAP!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS… THE TEAM OF SAORI AIZEN & USAGI SENSHI!
Flannery McCoy: My goodness, at least AJ Redding put up as much of a fight as he could there. The moment that Mattius sprawled in there, it altered the complexion of this match dramatically.
Jake Mercer: He’s been off his game ever since the season began, but you can argue this began earlier than that. AJ also backpedaled this week, but you can only give him the benefit of the doubt that this just wasn’t his week as opposed to Mattias’ struggles catching up to him yet again.
Stew-O: At the end of the day, the team of Saori & Usagi make quick work of their opponents tonight, fully prepared for their Unified Tag Team Championship showdown against the Jaded Hearts…
(‘Let Me Hear’ can be heard throughout the arena as Saori & Usagi unite in the middle of the ring, with the referee raising both of their hands in victory. They sport confident faces as they believe themselves to be prepared for Reckless Wiring, with AJ & Mattias sporting demotivated expressions as the scene fades.)
(A commercial plays for Reckless Wiring with Myles defending the EAW World Heavyweight Championship against Drake Armstrong.)
(‘Unreal’ by Chaoseum plays through the speakers as Isaac Crow comes out from the back, looking at the camera like he’s looking into someone’s soul. He looks nothing more than confident as he approaches this match.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM PARTS UNKNOWN…WEIGHING IN AT THE WEIGHT OF 225 POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE FALLEN ANGEL’…ISAAC CROW!!!!!!!
Stew-O: This week, Shinzo Sasaki managed to question the character of Isaac Crow and I don’t think that Isaac was too crazy about any questions. If anything, there is such a demonic presence towards him. He is someone who wants to serve the world rather than himself. He doesn’t need to be a leader like Shinzo, but someone who wants to prove to be superior than him.
Flannery McCoy: We’ve seen him face the likes of AJ Redding and Mattias Burke. We’ve seen him clash with Clayton Golde. We’ve seen him bring it to those two, but he has all the tools to secure the victories, but his opponent might be a tough one to overcome this week!
Jake Mercer: Isaac Crow is more than welcoming the challenge that Shinzo Sasaki will give him this week and that’s something that Shinzo will do, plus more!
(‘Loose Change [Instrumental Version]’ by The Alchemist begins to play through the speakers as Shinzo Sasaki walks slowly from the back, full of purpose as he looks around his surroundings before putting his attention on Isaac Crow inside the ring.
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT…FROM KOBE, JAPAN…WEIGHING IN AT THE WEIGHT OF 220 POUNDS… HE IS THE ‘LEADER OF THE UNDERWORLD’…SHINZO SASAKI!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Here is the man who will face Hans Grayson for the Interwire Championship next Saturday at Reckless Wiring. Someone who has had his eye on the Interwire Championship before, but he fell short of winning the title off of Ronan Malosi last season. He looks to make sure that he walks out with the title this time around.
Flannery McCoy: He’s had the opportunity for the Interwire Championship, had the opportunity to compete for the Cash in the Vault briefcase, who did not have anyone to hold it. He’s had the opportunity to compete in Cash in the Vault at Pain for Pride. Slowly, but surely, this man has gained eyes on him. Someone with all of the potential in the world to be a champion in this company.
Jake Mercer: This man is intimidating, but in a subtle way. There is something by the way that he walks and talks that makes me not want to piss him off. At the same time, Issac Crow is someone I would like not to piss off because he looks like he’ll want to drain my blood! This is a no win situation here!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND, ISAAC CROW RACES TOWARDS SHINZO SASAKI, TAKING HIM TO THE CORNER AS HE THROWS A SERIES OF PUNCHES AND SLAMS TO THE FACE AND BODY OF SHINZO!
Flannery McCoy: ISAAC CROW SWINGING OFF AT THE GATE AS THE REFEREE HAS TO NEARLY SEPARATE HIM FROM SHINZO SASAKI! WITH THAT OPENING, SHINZO NEARLY TAKES HIS HEAD OFF WITH A LARIAT! ISAAC CRASHES TO THE FLOOR AS SHINZO BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH A SERIES OF LEFT AND RIGHT PUNCHES TO THE SKULL OF ISAAC BEFORE PICKING HIM UP BY THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! HE THROWS ISAAC TO THE CORNER THAT THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY IN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SERIES OF STOMPS TO THE RIBS OF ‘THE FALLEN ANGEL!’
Jake Mercer: Shinzo Sasaki manages to stomp Isaac Crow to the point that he falls to a seated position on the corner! Shinzo takes a few steps back, his eyes never leaving the sight of Isaac before charging towards him and connecting with a face wash at the corner! Then, Shinzo picks up Isaac before taking him back with an uppercut! Shinzo grabs Isaac by his arm before whipping him to the corner across from them! But, Isaac counters that whip as Shinzo goes crash spine first to that corner! Isaac charges right after Shinzo, not wasting any time and connects with a dropkick as that sends him forward! Isaac manages to hook him by the arm and connect with a hip toss! Isaac runs after him, following that up with a penalty kick! Then, he gets in front of Issac before taking him up with a penalty kick to the face as that knocks Shinzo back! Isaac goes for the quick cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWW—
Stew-O: Shinzo Sasaki with the kick out! Isaac Crow gets him in a seated position before connecting with a series of elbows to the side of Shinzo’s neck! Then, he picks Shinzo up before taking him back with a straightjacket suplex! That was a beautiful move! But, Isaac is just getting started around here! He picks up Shinzo, places him in a front headlock before taking him back with a double underhook suplex! SHINZO GOES DOWN AS ISSAC GETS SHINZO BY THE NAPE OF HIS NECK BEFORE DRAPING HIS HEAD ON THE MIDDLE ROPE AND CONNECTING WITH A MIDDLE ROPE CHOKE! ISAAC IS REALLY PUTTING IN THE EFFORT TO WEAR DOWN THE ‘LEADER OF THE UNDERWORLD!’
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! BACK AWAY, ISAAC!
Flannery McCoy: Isaac Crow glares at the referee, but slowly begins to back away! Now, Isaac is someone who I wouldn’t want to be inside the ring with! There is something so eerie and spooky about him! It gives me the shivers, honestly! We see Shinzo turning himself around as he grabs onto his neck, trying to get some air back to his lungs! Isaac picks up Shinzo and connects with a knife edge chop to the chest! This takes Shinzo into a seated position on the middle rope as Isaac connects with a whip to the horizontal set of ropes across from him! Shinzo gets thrown into those ropes, BUT HE MANAGES TO REBOUND OFF OF THEM BEFORE SLIDING UNDERNEATH THE LEGS OF ISAAC CROW! HE MANAGES TO POP UP BEHIND ‘THE FALLEN ANGEL’ BEFORE CLUBBING HIM IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!
Jake Mercer: That’s the way of the Yakuza, Flann! Strike them when they least expect it! Shinzo Sasaki strategized the perfect time and place to strike and it worked for him! This managed to take Isaac Crow to a knee before Shinzo charges right after him with a sliding forearm to the back of Isaac’s head! Shinzo goes for the cover, looking to make light work out of Isaac!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Stew-O: Isaac Crow with a kick out as Shinzo Sasaki shakes his head! The thought that this is going to require a bit more effort, but Shinzo has been known to grind for what he truly wants in life! This will be no different! He picks up Issac before connecting with a series of knees to the gut of Issac, looking to wear him down! Shinzo backs to the ropes, rebounding off of them and taking him down with a discus lariat! Yikes, everything that Shinzo does is hard-hitting, but that’s what makes him so compelling to watch at the same time! With Isaac, he is going to need to be as hard-hitting if he wants to stand a chance of securing the victory! Shinzo stalks Isaac to his feet before taking him back with a yakuza kick! Isaac stumbles to the ropes as Shinzo charges right after him and clotheslines him out of the ring —
Flannery McCoy: Isaac Crow manages to land on the apron! He looks to connect with a forearm to take Shinzo Sasaki back! Shinzo looks to go for a shoulder thrust through the middle ropes to the gut of Isaac, but Isaac manages to get his body to the side as he manages to connect a small stunner with Shinzo’s head through the middle rope! Isaac is now playing quite a dangerous game as he pulls the legs of the ‘Leader of the Underworld,’ taking him out of the ring! Shinzo has his head underneath the bottom rope! ISAAC HAS SHINZO BY THE LEGS BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A CATAPULT THAT CAUSES SHINZO’S FACE TO COLLIDE WITH THAT BOTTOM ROPE! NOW, ISAAC PULLS SHINZO COMPLETELY OUT OF THE RING AS HE GRABS HIM BY THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! I THINK THAT HE’S LOOKING TO THROW SHINZO’S HEAD TO THE STEEL RING POST!
Jake Mercer: But, Shinzo Sasaki manages to drop down! Isaac Crow is having a tough time picking him up! Isaac decides to change plans on the spot before grabbing Shinzo with a front headlock and dropping him down with a snap DDT! But, it seems like Isaac is looking to do everything that he can to secure the victory over Shinzo! After all, he’s the same man who has gotten these huge opportunities for himself! From having the opportunity to win Cash in the Vault to squaring up in the ring against the World Champions of this company! This man is AURA in a nutshell, Flann and Stew! The total future of the Dynasty brand! Isaac is looking towards our table and he’s telling him to get the heck out of the way! I don’t think that this is even legal!
Stew-O: But, it comes with the determination to prove that Isaac Crow is an intimidating force on the Dynasty brand! He wants nothing more than to secure the victory over someone like Shinzo Sasak! We know that Shinzo has eyes around him, many people have amazing plans and expectations of him! The potential with that guy is completely endless as Isaac looks to ruin that momentum for him! But, let’s do what he wants!
(The commentators begin to grab their papers in a rush before stepping to the side. Their headsets still on their heads as Isaac Crow begins to dismantle the announce table, throwing the monitors to the side.)
Flannery McCoy: Is the referee even allowing this? :wtf:
Jake Mercer: Do you want to be the one to get in Shinzo Sasaki’s business? He might be connected to the Yakuza! Do you want a hit on you?
Stew-O: Isaac Crow manages to get Shinzo Sasaki on the announce table! But, Shinzo is looking to fight his way out of this mess! He throws a punch to Isaac! But, Isaac throws a punch to Shinzo! And another one! Isaac manages to keep Shinzo down before thinking about what he wants to do next! Isaac gets himself on top of our table before getting Shinzo into position! Are we going to see Isaac connect with a piledriver on top of the table? :damn:
Flannery McCoy: NO! SHINZO SASAKI MANAGES TO GET HIMSELF DOWN AS HE CONNECTS WITH A BACK BODY DROP ON ISAAC CROW! Isaac is contorting his back in pain! I can’t imagine how that must feel at the moment, but Shinzo may have saved his chances of winning the match! NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE SHINZO IS LOOKING TO PUT AN END TO ISAAC BY PICKING HIM UP AND CONNECTING WITH A TIGER DRIVER! ISAAC IS SPIKED ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH THAT TIGER DRIVER! UNBELIEVABLE! I WOULDN’T BE SHOCKED IF ISAAC IS COMPLETELY OUT OF IT! I’m not sure if there is any way of coming back from all of that! Shinzo gets off our table as he looks to head back inside the ring! He grabs Isaac by the back of his head and rolls him back inside the ring! Now, we see Shinzo going for the top turnbuckle! He is looking to take another risk in order to secure himself the victory!
Jake Mercer: We are going to be seeing a thing of beauty, Flann! That ‘SasakiSault’ might as well be a work of art and Shinzo Sasaki is Picasso! He has his back turned to Isaac Crow before flying off the top rope and landing on Isaac as he is in perfect position for the cover! This could be it, ladies and gentlemen!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTT—
Stew-O: Isaac Crow kicks out! Shinzo Sasaki gets right on top of Isaac before connecting with a series of left and right punches to the skull of Isaac! He picks up Isaac to his feet as he looks to take him up for that vertical drop brain buster that he likes to call ‘Enter The Dragon!’ BUT, ISAAC DROPS DOWN AT THE LAST SECOND! HE KNOWS THAT IF HE FINDS HIMSELF IN THAT MOVE, IT COULD BE OVER FOR HIM! SHINZO GOES RIGHT AFTER ISAAC, LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A LARIAT ONCE MORE, BUT ISAAC TAKES SHINZO DOWN WITH THE ‘COMATOSE’ THE AXE HANDLE ARE CONNECTING BEFORE SHINZO CAN GO FOR THAT LARIAT THAT HE’S LIKED TO GO WITH THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THIS MATCH! SHINZO MANAGES TO FIND HIMSELF BACK UP AS ISAAC CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER ‘COMATOSE!’ AND THEN, ANOTHER ONE! AND THEN ANOTHER ONE! WITH EACH ‘COMATOSE,’ IT SEEMS TO WEAKEN SHINZO BEFORE ISAAC FINALLY DROPS HIM DOWN AND CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK AS THAT TAKES THE ‘LEADER OF THE UNDERWORLD’ DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: Isaac Crow is beginning to feel confident about himself! He sees victory on the horizon for himself as he looks to pick up Shinzo Sasaki in a reverse fireman’s carry position! We’ve seen Isaac going for this move to end all of his matches, but is this going to connect this time around?
Jake Mercer: Isaac Crow LOVES that burning hammer! He calls it ‘Death’s Door’ as he looks to place Shinzo Sasaki on death’s door! BUT, SHINZO DROPS DOWN RIGHT BEHIND ISAAC AS HE LOOKS TO APPLY THAT STANDING GUILLOTINE CHOKE THAT HE CALLS ‘SPIRIT WORLD’ AND ISAAC KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHINZO WAS LOOKING TO DO! THAT GUILLOTINE CHOKE IS NO JOKE WHATSOEVER! HE MANAGES TO CREATE A BIT OF DISTANCE BETWEEN HIM AND SHINZO AS ISAAC RUNS RIGHT AFTER HIM, BUT SHINZO MANAGES TO CATCH ISAAC WITH ‘THE POISON PILL’ OUT OF NOWHERE! THE SWINGING REVERSE STO AS HE TRANSITIONS THAT INTO A DDT! ISAAC GOES DOWN AS SHINZO LAYS ON TOP OF ISAAC! IS THIS GOING TO BE IT HERE?!??!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Loose Change’ plays back up once again as Shinzo Sasaki rises up from Isaac Crow. He demands for the referee to raise his hand up, declaring him the winner of the match as the referee does that with no hesitations.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…SHINZO SASAKI!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: JUST LIKE THAT, SHINZO SASAKI CONNECTS WITH ‘THE POISON PILL’ ON ISAAC CROW! That move can be it on you when you least expect it and Isaac realizes that just now!
Stew-O: Isaac Crow brought it to the ‘Leader of the Underworld’ no doubt! But, Shinzo Sasaki has let it be known that he’ll strike when he least expects it. That is something that Hans Grayson will need to worry about at Reckless Wiring.
Flannery McCoy: Hans Grayson’s title reign may be in jeopardy if Shinzo Sasaki has their match be a Lumberjack match at Reckless Wiring. All the advantage will fall to Shinzo’s favor if that ends up being the match!
Jake Mercer: Flann and Stew, we could be looking at the next Interwire Champion, if Shinzo Sasaki gets his way next Saturday!
(As Shinzo continues to celebrate, Dynasty fades elsewhere.)
(Transitioning backstage, BRAE is seen with Michael Belfort, donning his gear as his match against Raven Roberts is coming up next.)
Michael Belfort: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for watching Friday Night Dynasty. Right now, I am with the one and only New Breed Champion, BRAE, who is set to have his first defense for the championship next week at Reckless Wiring against Vincent Mondrian. Things have certainly been heating up between the two of you, so I think everyone wants to know where you are at mentally as we get closer to your match.
BRAE: Where am I at? It’s quite simple, really — I plan on winning. Vincent may feel like he has a real chance of beating me, but that’s not the case. With how much work I put in to become a champion, and more specifically, win this very same title that is on my shoulder, I’m not in the camp of letting a season-long goal go up in smokes within a matter of one match. Tensions are there, and I’m sure Vincent will want to be the one to walk out as the victor, but the fact of the matter is that it’s not going to go down in his favor.
(BRAE is direct and firm with his words.)
Michael Belfort: Now, given that Reckless Wiring involved unique stipulations that are chosen by the fans, is there any particular match type you would like to compete in?
BRAE: Honestly? It doesn’t matter to me. I’m a competitor at heart, willing to do whatever it takes to thrive regardless of the situation I am in. Fight Pit, Fans Bring the Weapons, Two out of Three Falls, it makes no difference to me. Either way, Vincent is going to lose, and he’ll have to come to the realization that as much as he may be talented in his own right, he doesn’t have what it takes to beat me. Never have, and never will—
???: Is that right?
(Soon, Vincent Mondrian himself walks into frame. BRAE turns his attention over to him, and there’s clear tension between the two. However, both men are unwavering as they encounter each other.)
BRAE: Was there something wrong with what I said?
Vincent Mondrian: Perhaps. I just find it interesting that you think you can beat me. It’s like there’s this finality to your words where you think everything will go your way. However, the fact of the matter is that I am the most consistent threat you have ever faced, and soon enough, all of that is going to lead me to take the New Breed Championship from you.
BRAE: And you know what? You have been doing well for yourself. It does seem as though you have kicked things into gear since the turn of this season. Still, Vincent, I speak with nothing less than assuredness on my part because I know what I am capable of doing, and simply put, I have beaten Elitists who are on paper better than you. It’s not to knock you, but I have swam with the sharks whereas you’re just now getting out of the kiddie pool. You’re good, I won’t deny you that, but are you good enough to dig deep and find a way to defeat me? I don’t think so.
Vincent Mondrian: Leave it to you to develop this air of arrogance around yourself. Beating Michael Machina back at Pain for Pride was a good moment for you and your career, but that doesn’t mean you’re suddenly this all-conquering world beater. You can question whether or not I’m ready to beat you, but people will have to question whether or not you even have what it takes to be a worthwhile champion.
BRAE: There are no questions on my part. I’m proven. You’re not.
Vincent Mondrian: Well then, I guess that’s extra incentive for me to beat you next weekend. It’ll be a shame for you seeing as how you’ll be losing on the first defense, but if that’s what has to happen, then it will. And besides, after the stunt you pulled a couple of weeks ago, I think it’s only fair that you get to feel humiliated in your own right.
BRAE: Oh, yeah?
Vincent Mondrian: Yeah. In fact—
(Suddenly, Vincent punched BRAE right in the face!)
Michael Belfort: Oh my! A fight is spiraling here!
(Michael leaves as the two men are caught up in a brawl.)
Stew-O: Well, I don’t blame Michael! I wouldn’t want to be involved in this either!
Jake Mercer: They’re just going at it, and it’s crazy, because BRAE’s match against Raven Roberts is up next!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, this is quickly getting bad!
Stew-O: And Vincent now grabs BRAE by the wrist, trying to send him running into the wall — BUT THAT GETS REVERSED AND HE CRASHES INTO IT HIMSELF! OH NO! HE GOES DOWN!
Jake Mercer: THAT WAS JUST A NASTY COLLISION THERE! BRAE ISN’T DONE, EITHER! HE LEAPS UP AND STRIKES HIM WITH THE ‘RED DEATH’!! JESUS!!
Flannery McCoy: VINCENT LOOKS TO BE HURTING AFTER THAT! HOWEVER, BRAE COMES TO A STAND, RAISING THAT TITLE OF HIS!
(Sure enough, Vincent was down on the floor, clearly in pain as he clutched his face. BRAE stares daggers into him as he raises the championship.)
BRAE: … At Reckless Wiring, it’s over for you.
(BRAE checks on his own face to make sure he wasn’t hurt after the intense scuffle. He then walks off, ready to go out to the ring for his match.)
Stew-O: Wow! What an insane moment we just witnessed, let alone before BRAE is scheduled to compete against Raven Roberts tonight!
Jake Mercer: Oh, boy. BRAE left one hell of a final statement to his future opponent, and he told him straight up that he’s gonna be the one on top when it’s all said and done.
(A still-recovering but furious Vincent tries to get up before Dynasty fades to ringside.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Ghost Myself’ by DIAMANTE hits the PA speakers and Raven walks out from the back, embracing the crowd reaction. She nods her head, posing as she makes her way down the ramp. She climbs the top rope and pulls on her jacket, swaying her arms out for the camera.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, weighing in at 122 pounds, residing in Atlanta, Georgia, she is “THE BIRD OF PREY”, RAVEN ROBERTS!!!
Jake Mercer: We’ve got two Pick Your Poison matches tonight ahead of Minerva and Raven Roberts match at Reckless Wiring, and Raven may have her work cut out for her but that is why she’s gotten so far in her career. Always willing to take tough challenges and bring the fight to the best of the best in EAW, and I predict tonight’s match will be no difference.
(‘Duel of The Fates V2’ by Samuel Kim is next to play and the New Breed Champion marches out from the back to a loud reception from the crowd. He nods his head, adjusting his jacket. He runs up the steps and enters the ring, spinning before pointing over the top rope. He backs away, unhooking his championship from around his waist and raising it high.)
Stephie Love: Her opponent, weighing in at 215 pounds, residing in Bray County Wicklow, Ireland… The EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION! “THE IMPERIONAL SYMPHONY” BRAE!
Flannery McCoy: And BRAE certainly represents that! He’s got his own challenge at Reckless Wiring as he looks to make his first defense of the New Breed Championship against Vincent Mondrian. Tonight is also a big chance for BRAE to remain on his winning ways, because this is sure to be a big victory for him if he can obtain it.
(DING DING DING!)
Stew-O: And let’s go! Both competitors bounce around the ring, looking for an opening on one another… But the New Breed Champion wastes no time! BRAE charges in, throwing a HUGE chop to Raven! It takes her aback, and he throws his hand for another one!
Jake Mercer: Raven raises her fists, blocking it! She throws a right hand, and then a palm strike! A kick to the chest from Raven! BRAE staggers and she turns to hit off the ropes! BUT BRAE MEETS HER WITH A LEAPING BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!
Stew-O: BRAE takes her wrist and irish whips her across the ring! He wastes no time, but Raven catches him with a drop toe hold into the middle rope before he can do anything! BRAE’s neck whiplashes off the ropes as he’s driven throat first!
Flannery McCoy: He’s in trouble, but before he can get free and recover, Raven has hit off the ropes and leaps into a DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! BRAE falls back, holding his head in agony! Raven rises to her feet and she’s feeling it now!
Jake Mercer: While she’s doing that, BRAE takes to the outside! But it’s good for Raven, who hits off the ropes at a quick pace! BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK– BRAE CATCHES THE LEGS AND QUICKLY YANKS HER OUTSIDE!
Flannery McCoy: Completely disoriented from that! Raven looks up as BRAE clinches his arms around her waist, locking the body as he tosses her with a BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX ON THE FLOOR! OH MY GOD! THESE TWO ARE WASTING NO TIME TO GO RIGHT AT IT!
Stew-O: Raven lies on the floor in searing pain, holding at her back! BRAE sits up, nodding profusely! He’s willing to take pain to dish out even more pain in his attempts to win tonight!
Jake Mercer: BRAE drags her up and throws her into the ring, sliding in behind her. Raven nurses her back, mounting up slowly but surely.
Flannery McCoy: He stings her with another knife edge chop! Another one! Raven staggers and BRAE hits off the ropes, but she leaps into a dropkick to the knee! BRAE falls over, holding his knee. He slowly works his way up…
Stew-O: And Raven hits off the ropes, dropping him with a chop block! BRAE goes down, clutching the back of his leg. He tries his hardest to rise, and now Raven takes the leg!
Jake Mercer: She tries for a dragon screw legwhip but BRAE shoves her back! She bounces off the ropes and he scoops her up, spinning into a BLACK HOLE SLAM! RAVEN IS FLOORED! HE MAKES THE COVER!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Stew-O: Raven kicks out! BRAE slaps the mat, looking around. He pulls Raven up and meets her with a forearm smash! Raven stumbles, and BRAE gets her with another one! Raven is struggling to stay upright and again, BRAE hits off the ropes!
Jake Mercer: He comes forward and she leaps, trapping the leg and rolling into a KNEEBAR! SHE GETS THE KNEEBAR IN! BRAE RUNS HIS HANDS THROUGH HIS HAIR, YELLING OUT!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE is trying to endure the pain but Raven is pulling back on that leg! BRAE SLAMS HIS HEAD ONTO THE CANVAS, YELLING IN RAVEN’S FACE!
Jake Mercer: Raven pulls back on the leg, and BRAE refuses to tap out! She pulls further, but BRAE shifts to his side! He begins crawling forward!
Flannery McCoy: AND HE GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE! Raven releases, rolling away. BRAE rolls to the apron, groaning. Raven rises and reaches for him, but he slaps her away and pulls her down with a hotshot!
Stew-O: BRAE limps over, starting to climb up. He nods, but Raven rushes over and sweeps the legs out! BRAE holds his legs and Raven climbs the middle rope, ascending to the top and taking his head.
Jake Mercer: He punches her in the ribs, and then forearms her in the throat! BRAE shoves Raven off the top rope but she lands into her feet! BRAE readies himself— Raven runs up the middle rope and leaps to the top rope, THROWING BRAE WITH AN AVALANCHE HURRICANRANA!
Flannery McCoy: WOW! HUGE IMPACT! BRAE HOLDS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, WRITHING IN PAIN! Raven crawls over, strapping an arm onto his chest for the cover!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTT—
Stew-O: BUT IT’S NOT ENOUGH! BRAE KICKS OUT! Raven slaps the mat. She rises up, starting to pull BRAE up…
Jake Mercer: BRAE sways her down and spins into a kesagiri chop! Raven leans her head down, and BRAE yells, spinning into a discus lariat this time!
Flannery McCoy: Raven is out of it! BRAE pulls her up and leans her onto the ropes. He irish whips her off, scooping her up for a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! BUT BRAE FALLS OVER, HOLDING HIS KNEE! BRAE SITS UP, HOLDING AT IT IN AGONY! WHILE RAVEN IS HOLDING THE BACK!
Stew-O: He grits his teeth, trying to fight through the pain. BRAE rises and pulls Raven up, and throws a huge knife edge chop! Another one! Raven holds her chest, and BRAE takes the head and arms and hooks her into a Butterfly DDT!
Jake Mercer: Her head just bounced off the canvas! Raven is laid flat on the canvas and BRAE rolls her over and hooks the legs, counting along!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHH—
Flannery McCoy: And yet she finds a way to kick out! BRAE runs his hand through his hair, exasperated. Raven rolls over and BRAE approaches her. He pulls her to the center and throws a clubbing blow to the back of the head!
Jake Mercer: He places his hand behind the back of her head, throwing an elbow strike to the jaw! Raven falls onto a knee, shaking her head. BRAE lifts her up and winds back for another-
Stew-O: Beautiful reversal, Raven kicks out the knee to evade the elbow! But BRAE pops back up into an enzuigiri! She falls over and BRAE reaches for the leg, wailing out!
Jake Mercer: Raven rolls away, taking the ropes and slowly pulls herself up. BRAE yanks her forward and twirls under, taking the waist. But Raven back kicks his leg! BRAE falls to a seated position, wincing. Raven hits off the ropes!

Jake Mercer: KICK OUT FROM BRAE! Raven looks around. BRAE holds his ribs, groaning out. Raven pulls him up and stuns him with a slap. She throws a kick to the leg. And she hits off the ropes!
Stew-O: BRAE CHARGES INTO A KITCHEN SINK! SHE FLIES OVER HIS KNEE AND BRAE FALLS OVER, HOLDING HIS KNEE IN AGONY! Raven holds her ribs, gasping. She tries to get up and BRAE is waiting on her…
Flannery McCoy: He swings a lariat and Raven ducks, grabbing the leg and bending it. She takes the waist and tosses him with a leg trapped german suplex! What a move! BRAE is hurting!
Jake Mercer: Raven claps her hands, waiting on BRAE to stand up… BRAE slowly gets up, holding at the leg. Raven nods and leaps up the middle rope! SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE KICK— BRAE CATCHES HER IN THE AIR! HE HOISTS HER UP!! POWERBOMB STRAIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!
Flannery McCoy: BRAE BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES! ‘RED DEAT—‘ RAVEN EVADES IT! BRAE SLAMS HIS ELBOW FULL FORCE INTO THE CANVAS!! HE HOLDS HIS ELBOW, GROANING… RAVEN RISES UP BEHIND HIM!

Flannery McCoy: NO! ANOTHER KICK OUT FROM BRAE! Raven falls to the side, looking around in shock. She understands the grit of the champion but this is going to get harder the more it continues! BRAE has no quit in him!
Stew-O: He rolls over, grunting. BRAE slaps the mat with one hand while holding his jaw with the other. Raven sweeps her hair back, waiting on him to rise. She steps out of the ring and starts to climb the top rope…
Jake Mercer: BRAE rises and turns to Raven, who dives into a crossbody! He catches her though, and tosses her into a fireman’s carry! GUTCHECK! RAVEN’S BODY IS DRIVEN DIRECTLY INTO HIS KNEES! BRAE ROLLS OVER, HOLDING HIS KNEES IN AGONY! HE GASPS FOR AIR, LOOKING AROUND!
Stew-O: Raven is hurt but so is BRAE! That knee has been killing him for the entire match! He insists on continuing though, doing all he can to get up to his feet! Raven rolls to her fours, trying to rise-
Flannery McCoy: PUNT KICK TO THE RIBS FROM BRAE! Raven falls flat, dry heaving. BRAE looks down at her, shaking his head. He yanks Raven up and grabs ahold of her body, tossing her across the ring with a deadly capture suplex! Raven bounces off the canvas, rolling to the corners.
Jake Mercer: BRAE slaps the mat, yelling! He’s up to his feet and so is Raven! BRAE charges across off one good leg to leap into a forearm smash! He takes her head and guides her all the way to the entire turnbuckle, throwing her to it and then jumping into a yakuza kick right after!
Stew-O: Raven falls forward, but it’s BRAE’s body in front of her which breaks her fall. He scoops her arm over his shoulder and scoops her up, marching to the center of the ring… URANAGE SLAM! RAVEN IS DOWN AND BRAE STAGGERS FROM THE ENERGY HE’S EXERTING!
Flannery McCoy: He leans on the middle rope, groaning. BRAE slaps at his leg, trying to regain some feeling in it.
Jake Mercer: He grabs Raven up by the hair and pulls to her feet. He grabs her waist and tries to gutwrench her up— she can’t fight off his power so she starts to stall the hold until they start stumbling from the struggle!
Stew-O: Raven gets her leg around the bottom rope! Forced to release it! BRAE stumbles back but goes right for her and she raises the boots, staggering him! BRAE wobbles…
Flannery McCoy: As she tries to move from the ropes, BRAE lariats her over the top! She hangs onto the ropes for dear life! BRAE grins, taking her up against the ropes!
Jake Mercer: OH NO! HE STARTS CLUBBING AT HER CHEST! THE ‘TEN BEATS OF BRAE’ ARE IN EFFECT! THE FANS ARE COUNTING ALONG!
Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE!!! OH….
Stew-O: He winds back, and the FINAL CLUBBING BLOW TO HER CHEST! LOUD POP FROM
THE CROWD!
Crowd: TEN!!!!
Jake Mercer: BRAE turns her and climbs the middle rope, taking her by the head… He lifts her vertically, SUPERPLEX BACK INTO THE RING OFF THE MIDDLE ROPES!
Flannery McCoy: He floats over into a cover, hooking the legs tightly!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE—-
Stew-O: A KICK OUT FROM RAVEN! BRAE slaps
the mat! What will it take for either of these two to go down?!
Flannery McCoy: They’re both highly esteemed competitors here on Dynasty for a reason! BRAE crawls to the corner, taking the ropes. He rises to his feet and outstretches his arms in the corner, awaiting Raven’s rise!
Jake Mercer: She stands… AND BRAE CHARGES INTO ‘MORRIGAN’— NO! SHE CATCHES THE BAD LEG AND SLAMS IT INTO THE CANVAS! BRAE HOLDS HIS LEG IN AGONY, LIMPING UP!
Stew-O: WITH ALL OF HER MIGHT, SHE HOISTS BRAE UP! ‘HUNTRESS BOMB!’ THE SIT OUT SPINEBUSTER CONNECTS! THE BACK OF BRAE’S HEAD SMASHES INTO THE MAT! HE’S NOT MOVING!
Flannery McCoy: Raven follows up with a cover, and smartly hooks the bad leg of BRAE to give her extra leverage!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE—-
Stew-O: BRAE STILL FINDS A WAY TO KICK OUT! WHAT A CONTEST THIS HAS BEEN SO FAR! Raven falls back, trying to figure out what it’ll take to get the win here. BRAE rolls over, grabbing the leg in pain.
Jake Mercer: Raven slowly rises, nodding her head. She limps to the ropes and steps out of the ring. She steps to the apron and starts climbing to the top ropes.
Flannery McCoy: BRAE is still hurt… Raven sees this and takes the chance to take a breather, gasping out. She takes her time to adjust as she sees him laid out…
Stew-O: Raven stands tall at the top rope, pointing down to BRAE! AND SHE JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE TO HIT ‘RAVEN’S WINGS—‘
Jake Mercer: BRAE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME! RAVEN CRASHES AND BURNS ONTO THE CANVAS! SHE HOLDS HER BODY IN AGONY, ACHING OUT! THE REFEREE TENDS TO HER BUT IT’S NO USE!
Stew-O: BRAE rises to his feet, waiting for her to get up! Raven is trying her hardest, using the referee’s assistance…
Flannery McCoy: HE BOUNCES OUT OF THE CORNER TO HIT ‘MORRIGAN!’ BRAE FALLS OVER, HOLDING THE KNEE, BUT SHE’S OUT! IF ONLY HE COULD CAPITALIZE!
Jake Mercer: The pain in his knee is killing him, though! How can he adjust?!?’
Stew-O: Guys, wait a minute… Everyone’s attention has gone to the stage, because the number one contender to the New Breed Championship, Vincent Mondrian is here!
Jake Mercer: What the hell is he doing out here?! Why now?!? BRAE has this match won! And BRAE realizes it too and he seethes at the sight of his Reckless Wiring opponent… I think BRAE is close to losing his composure!
Flannery McCoy: Vincent gets closer to the ropes and all he’s doing is antagonizing BRAE some more! BRAE stands to his feet, using the ropes to his advantage.
BRAE: (off-mic) What are you doing out here?!? GET OUT!
(Vincent chuckles, placing his hands up and pleading innocence.)
Vincent Mondrian: (off-mic) I’m just trying to get a better look before our match, champ.
Stew-O: OUT OF NOWHERE! A CHOP BLOCK FROM RAVEN ROBERTS! RAVEN GOES AFTER THE LEG SHE’S BEEN TARGETING ALL MATCH! BRAE GOES DOWN, WAILING OUT IN AGONY! THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL’S BACK!
Jake Mercer: The fight of BRAE is in full effect, as he still tries to limp up despite the bad leg— but RAVEN IS ALREADY COMING OFF THE ROPES! ‘TALON!’ FLYING BOOT TO THE JAW PUTS HIM DOWN! AND SHE HOOKS THE LEGS!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING DING DING!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner of this match, RAVEN ROBERTS!!!
(Raven rises to her feet, nodding. The referee takes her arm and raises it up, while Vincent folds his arms looking at BRAE in the ring. He shakes his head. Raven looks at Vincent outside the ring, then back to BRAE, a bit remorseful but willing to take the win regardless.)
Flannery McCoy: It may be a little controversial but Raven Roberts was simply doing her job! Big win for her tonight as she pins the New Breed Champion ahead of Reckless Wiring!
Jake Mercer: By no means can I fault her for taking advantage of Vincent distracting BRAE, but why did he feel as if he needed to do that?!?
(As Raven leaves the ring, the referee checking on BRAE wakes him back up. He stares at the ceiling, hearing Raven’s theme song play and realizes he lost… he looks over, and the only thing he can spot is Vincent’s smug expression as he stands at the apron.)
Stew-O: I think Vincent may have made an even bolder decision… He’s drawn the ire of the champion to a whole new level!
(Vincent backs away, signaling a title around his waist while the fallen champion is doing all he can to recover and not show weakness.)
COMMERCIAL
(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)
Stephie Love: The following main event contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Judas’ by Lady Gaga can be heard throughout the speakers as the crowd reacts with loud adoration for the arrival of Holly Allow. As she emerges from the back, Holly takes a glance at the audience as she nods to herself shortly before walking down the ramp & looking ahead to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! From Liverpool, England, weighing in at 149 pounds… ‘THE SERAPH’, HOLLYYYYYYYY ARROW!!!
Stew-O: Holly Arrow will have the opportunity to face off against a competitor she has very recent history with, as this can prove to be the most beneficial momentum boost she can possibly achieve ahead of her eventual showdown with Daniella Atlas & Mia Santoro. However, this is much easier said than done regarding who her opponent happens to be.
Flannery McCoy: While that much is absolutely true, Holly Arrow has proven time & time again that she can compete at a high level no matter the challenge. You can never doubt her abilities, she wants to become World Champion one day & that’s with good reason, she is incredibly capable of achieving exactly that, and tonight can prove that further.
(‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ by White Zombie can be heard throughout the speakers as there is an electric reaction from the audience for the EAW Hall of Famer. Minerva makes her way out from the back with a focused demeanor, the brief glimpse of the crowd at hand as well as eyeing directly at the ring as she’s fully intent on sending the message to Raven.)
Stephie Love: Introducing his opponent! From the Florida Everglades, weighing in at 122 pounds… MIIIIIIIIINERVAAAA!!!
Stew-O: Of course, here we have one of the most acclaimed elitists to ever step foot inside an EAW ring. Minerva has become increasingly accomplished with each season that she enjoys here, and now she is looking to continue this trend while moving forward to Reckless Wiring. Before that however, she needs to face off with the same woman she battled at Grand Rampage.
Jake Mercer: Which ended with Minerva having her hand held high at the end of the day, but tonight can possibly change. Holly Arrow is focused, not refraining from doing what she must with her own abilities to continue heightening her status as an elitist to watch out for. Tonight, this will all be determined further for who can achieve momentum.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And we’re off! Minerva & Holly Arrow are set to collide right here on Dynasty! Both women have quite the history amongst one another, this much being as recent as their showdown at Grand Rampage where Holly Arrow would challenge Minerva for the EAW Universal Women’s Championship, in a strong effort that did not result in her desired world title victory. However, tonight seems to be as good of a night as ever for Holly to make some increasingly stellar good on a win here against one of the best that EAW has to offer. Of course, Holly is not exactly trailing far behind there, a significant stretch of victories can very much take her to a higher plateau of success here on Dynasty, as it has for many here.
Flannery McCoy: Holly Arrow is willing to work diligently & not allow failure to become a burden, she’s been adamant about becoming World Champion one day & I truly believe there’s no doubt in my mind that she is capable of that one day. Could be this very season, but getting past obstacles like Minerva at this very moment can lay out the necessary groundwork toward such a feat. Both elitists circle the ring carefully as they’re keeping a watchful eye of one another, as they both proceed to move forward and have no problem in enticing the collar & elbow tie-up! Both women are trying to push forward, refusing to yield before the other competitor here while they can…
Jake Mercer: Which doesn’t exactly maintain itself longer than it needs to, as Holly is managing to overpower Minerva as much as she can here, slowly but surely pushing Minerva into the ropes as she’s now allowing herself this much levity of maintaining an overarching strength advantage! Now she can’t exactly hold onto this for too long as the referee is eventually going to count down for a potential disqualification, but Holly allows Minerva the courtesy of backing away briefly with her arms raised, as she continues to pace around once more while Minerva follows. This has been about as traditional as you can make it go, but I’m certain we are about to see these women dish out quite the offense toward one another in not much time at all.
Stew-O: As Minerva arm’s are raised in front of herself once more with Holly doing the same, looking to motion for the collar & elbow once more—but Minerva quickly works her way around Holly & clasps her arms around her waist! Keeping herself behind her as she’s interlocked her own hands together, making this a bit more difficult for Holly to muster herself out of as she’s keeping a hand perched in between herself and Minerva’s hands. Holly is now dropping herself to a knee, quickly getting her arms around Minerva’s head to flip her over and onto a seated position, now employing a headlock of her own that’s being imposed upon Minerva! Quite the quick thinking from Holly Arrow there as she’s now applying her own measure of pressure with this headlock!
Flannery McCoy: It’s quite the quick thinking that you should expect from a talent like Holly Arrow, who certainly wants to prove without any mishaps that she can be the very best here. Minerva will not remain for long however, as she’s working her way upward to make sure she’s as mobile as she can be! Very crucial with a competitor like Holly, who would certainly love to whittle her down just enough to allow her own work to prosper through submission. Minerva is now backing Holly away into the ropes, allowing this momentum to be used against her opponent by shoving Holly forward and forcing her to let go of the headlock—
Jake Mercer: Only to come right back around with an emphatic SHOULDER THRUST! The thrust causes Minerva to be knocked down as Holly placed a great amount of her momentum into the thrust, which allows her to rush the ropes more while Minerva quickly maneuvers into a prone position for Holly to hop over! Now Holly is looking to return back around while maneuvering herself off the ropes & forward toward the former multi-time World Champion… WHO DELIVERS A CHOP RIGHT ACROSS HOLLY’S CHEST WITH GOOD MEASURE! We heard all of that throughout this arena, and Holly refused to drop to her feet! But she certainly felt every bit of that as she’s wincing ever so slightly, turning herself around as she seems to be beckoning on this challenge here…
Stew-O: As Minerva’s glaring toward her, unwavering in her own right as she has always been… HOLLY SENDS AN OPEN PALM SPRAWLING OVER HER UPPER CHEST! Minerva winces as well, nodding to herself as she felt every bit of that palm in her own right! These ladies seem to testing one another’s mettle respectively, and neither of them are all too interested from backing down in this instance, as Minerva doesn’t shy away from sending a fierce FOREARM directly across her temple without avail! Holly remains on her feet, but not deterred at the moment as she’s fighting through her head just being rocked to its core… TO SEND A FOREARM OF HER OWN SPRAWLING ACROSS MINERVA’S TEMPLE!
Flannery McCoy: I truthfully don’t believe either of these women will be all too willing to back down at all here… as we see another FOREARM be sent right across Holly’s jaw without a second thought! Only for Holly to retort back with a forearm of her own that’s also blasted across Minerva’s jaw! WHICH LEADS TO BOTH WOMEN SHAKING THEIR HEADS & SENDING A FLURRY OF FOREARMS ‘TILL MINERVA’S SEND REELING BACK WITH A STIFF SHOT FROM HOLLY! Minerva backs away into the ropes as she’s stumbling forward, Holly aims to take Minerva off of her feet for good with a ROUNDHOUSE KICK—MINERVA DUCKS! HOLLY TURNS HERSELF AROUND… INTO A SUDDEN LARIAT FROM MINERVA THAT DOES KNOCK HER DOWN!
Jake Mercer: My goodness, Minerva put all of her body weight into that lariat so she could knock Holly Arrow down! Now Holly’s clutching onto her own jaw as she’s back in a slightly seated position, with Minerva not looking to wait all too long for Holly to attempt her own retaliation here as she’s returning to a knee… as Minerva grabs a hold of Holly’s waist and seems to be dead set on aiming for this GERMAN SUPLEX TO FOLLOW THROUGH! BUT HOLLY REFUSES! She makes sure that she keeps herself sinking downward while sending a STRONG ELBOW across the temple of Minerva, catching off guard and forcing Minerva to let go of her there! Crisis averted by Holly, but Minerva’s not too keen on letting this slide for long as she rushes toward her—
Stew-O: ONLY TO BE CAUGHT WITH A PALM DIRECTLY ACROSS THE THROAT! Minerva drops to a knee as she’s got a hand right over her own neck, while Holly’s stumbling a bit after returning back to her feet, seeing that Minerva is a stationary position as she doesn’t allow herself to remain in this stagnant moment for long… WITH ANOTHER PALM STRIKE DIRECTLY ACROSS THE BACK OF MINERVA’S NECK! Minerva’s left in a very vulnerable spot right now as Holly has not been shying herself away from delivering on a brutal atmosphere in this match. Now Holly’s bringing her own arms around Minerva’s waist while she’s trying to recoup, HOISTING HER UP!
Flannery McCoy: AS SHE SENDS MINERVA SPIRALLING BACK DOWN ONTO HER OWN NECK WITH THE GERMAN SUPLEX! The back of Minerva’s neck took the brunt of the force there as Holly delivered on putting her down, and now Holly is quickly working her way back over to Minerva as quickly as she can here, understanding that Minerva is still trying to keep herself conscious enough in this match to keep on fighting… the former Universal Women’s Champion is doing everything that can to keep herself standing back up to her own two feet here! There’s no letting up from Minerva!
Jake Mercer: BUT HOLLY WITH A REAR NAKED CHOKE! MINERVA DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE AS HOLLY’S NOW LOOKING TO SUBMIT MINERVA AFTER ALREADY DEALING THE DAMAGE SHE HAS TO HER NECK! Minerva is now struggling a bit here, shaking her head as much as she can despite Holly keeping her grip imposed to the utmost capacity here, this submission can spell disaster for Minerva if she’s unable to weather the storm and bring herself out of this predicament in particular! Minerva is now bringing herself back to a more proper stance, but Holly’s looking to shift her own weight backward to make Minerva fall back here—
Stew-O: MINERVA IN A SPUR OF THE MOMENT SHIFTS HERSELF & HOLLY THROUGH THE TOP & MIDDLE ROPES! Minerva is able to hold onto the ropes as Holly collapses onto the ringside floor in return! Environmentally sound thinking from the EAW Hall of Famer there as she was capable enough to use her own wits & bring herself out of that chokehold! Holly’s now trying to get back up to her own two feet here, assuming a more proper stance at ringside while Minerva’s bringing herself back up onto the apron as she sees Holly recuperating a bit more quickly than she would’ve liked. Holly is now turning herself around to Minerva—AS MINERVA LEAPS OFF THE APRON!
Flannery McCoy: WITH A LOU THESZ PRESS ONTO HOLLY ARROW! MINERVA WAILS IN WITH THE RIGHTS & LEFTS AS HOLLY IS TRYING TO SHIELD HERSELF AS EFFICIENTLY AS SHE CAN! Minerva is now looking to return with quite the spark within here as she’s nailing the punches down upon Holly without anything else in the way, forcing Holly to push Minerva off of herself in order to try and bring herself back up to her feet! But Minerva doesn’t stay too far away as she SLAMS HOLLY’S HEAD RIGHT ONTO THE APRON! Now Holly Arrow is leaned right against the apron, struggling a bit more to bring herself back into a more suitable sense of a fight!
Jake Mercer: Which must be music to Minerva’s ears, as she’s rolling herself back into the ring and sees that Holly Arrow is largely dormant at the moment! The referee is looking to count down here as Minerva returns back into the ring… but it seems Minerva isn’t all too content with remaining in the ring for long! She wastes no time rushing toward the ropes, no rebounding back & running forward as Holly’s slowly coming back to her senses—BUT NOT QUICK ENOUGH TO EVADE THE BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK FROM MINERVA! Holly is sent sprawling into the barricade back first as she slumps down against the ringside mat! Minerva is applying her own degree of pressure here while Holly has only struggled since the action reverted to outside the wrestling ring!
Stew-O: I doubt it’ll get any better for Holly here, as Minerva sees that she’s got Holly in quite the vicarious position here, now setting her sights right upon her opponent while she’s seated back against the barricade! Minerva is rushing toward Holly here, not shying away from TAKING HER HEAD OFF WITH A DROPKICK WHILE SHE’S VULNERABLE—BUT HOLLY CATCHES HER! THEN DELIVERS A SUDDEN EXPLODER SUPLEX RIGHT ONTO THE BARRICADE!! Minerva drops back down onto the ringside floor unceremoniously as she’s clutching her own lower back, and Holly can’t help but drop to the floor as well! Both women are now trying to recover, with Holly Arrow buying herself vulnerable time!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
Flannery McCoy: But they will really need to pick up the pace and recover far more quickly than they’re not allowing themselves to! The referee is counting down, and this match ending in a countout where neither elitist are able to rush back into the ring would not be the most gratifying end to this match! Holly is able to bring herself back up to her own feet first, using the barricade to help herself as she’s now looking to walk back over toward the ring—
Jake Mercer: BUT MINERVA REFUSES TO LET HOLLY ENTER BACK IN AS SHE SENDS HER DIRECTLY INTO THE RING POST!! Holly’s temple connected with the post as she’s slumped against the cold metal! Minerva is crawling over toward the ring, bringing herself up with usage of the apron to lift herself upward now! Minerva seems to be less worse for ware here as she’s now grabbing onto the bottom rope and pulling herself up!
FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
Stew-O: BUT AN OPEN PALM ACROSS THE BACK OF MINERVA’S NECK ONCE MORE! Minerva felt that palm all throughout her being as she’s slumped this time, right against the ropes! Holly is understandably slower and feeling the effects of the offense in this match, as she’s bringing herself up to the apron as both women are now on the apron! Holly sends a forearm spiraling into Minerva’s temple in great resolve! With the former World Champion of this match vulnerable to greater attack, Holly isn’t relenting back here as she’s dragging Minerva up to her own two feet, with her hand grasping onto her wrist that’s wrapped around… LOOKING TO TURN MINERVA AROUND DIRECTLY INTO ‘THE EMPEROR’S TIME’—
Flannery McCoy: ‘THE DEVIL’S TOUCH’!!!! THE SUPERKICK FROM MINERVA FOLDS HOLLY ARROW LIKE AN ACCORDIAN AS SHE SLIPS THROUGH THE ROPES & BACK INTO THE RING! Minerva groggily slips herself through the ropes as well, eagerly crawling herself over and onto Holly Arrow while she’s down on the mat, looking for the pin here! The deciding fall may come from the first pin to be made after the harsh offense they’ve been dealt with no breaks to account for!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THREE—
Jake Mercer: NOT ENOUGH! HOLLY’S STILL KICKIN’! The kick out is made with authority as Minerva’s not left in a seated position of her own in the ring, while Holly’s trying to regain any composure that she can before Minerva has the chance to continue her assault. But it seems she doesn’t have much more left to do here, as Minerva is now dragging Holly back up to her feet, a lot more interested in not allowing her opponent the chance to breathe longer than the time allotted here, as she’s got Holly in position for the ‘PARADISE LOST’—
Flannery McCoy: NO! HOLLY IS ABLE TO REMAIN MOBILE ENOUGH TO HALT THE MANEUVER IN TIME! She quickly gets her arm around Minerva’s waist and aims for a BACK SUPLEX that can quickly take her back out of this predicament as quickly as she was about to be caught with it—BUT MINERVA’S BACK ON HER FEET! She’s able to flip herself over and remain standing as now Holly is turning back around, with Minerva aiming to take Holly right back down with the CLOTHESLINE!
Stew-O: BUT HOLLY DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE WHILE KEEPING A HOLD OF MINERVA’S WRIST AS SHE DID SO… BEFORE TURNING HER BACK AROUND & CATCHING HER WITH ‘THE EMPEROR’S TIME’!! Ripcord lariat is a glimmering success for Holly Arrow as she leaves herself draped over Minerva, and the referee is sliding into the count as this can be all she wrote!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THREEEEEE—
Flannery McCoy: WHAT?? MINERVA KICKS OUT!! What a kickout from Minerva there as now Holly Arrow must go about finding another way of keeping Minerva down for good here! I believe she’ll need to think quickly if she wants to keep this momentum from fading while she’s able to maintain herself here—AS IT APPEARS TO ME THAT SHE’S THINKING THE VERY SAME! HOLLY IS SENDING REPEATED ELBOW STRIKES RIGHT ACROSS MINERVA’S NECK WITHOUT AVAIL! REFUSING TO SLOW DOWN FOR A SINGLE SECOND, SHE’S MAKING SURE THAT EVERY SINGLE STRIKE EMPLOYED COUNTS AGAINST THIS MOST PRESTIGIOUS ELITIST TONIGHT!
Jake Mercer: HOLLY ISN’T LETTING UP HERE! These elbows are causing Minerva to remain suppressed no matter how much she would like to emerge from this situation with any upper hand! Now Holly’s rushing over to the corner here, with Minerva entirely dazed right now as she doesn’t seem to be all too prepared for Holly Arrow’s next course of action that’s about to put her down for good—AS HOLLY RUSHING TOWARD MINERVA THE SECOND SHE’S UP TO A STANCE WITH ‘AVALON’!!
Stew-O: SUDDEN SCISSOR KICK FROM MINERVA DAZES HOLLY IN THE NICK OF TIME!! NOW MINERVA IS ABLE TO GRAB A HOLD OF HOLLY ARROW & USHER IN HER NEXT COURSE OF ACTION… WITH ‘PARADISE FALLS’!!! THE COVER HERE!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THREEEEEE—
Flannery McCoy: NO! STILL NOT ENOUGH!!! Holly is able to raise her shoulder and kick out of the pin attempt!!! Minerva’s feeling the effects of this match persist on and on, now there’s no shadow of a doubt that she is looking to put a definitive end to this match sooner rather than later! Minerva’s trying to drag Holly Arrow into position to the best of her abilities while she still can here… bringing her back up, not having the same amount of strength that she once did beginning the match but able enough to PUT HOLLY IN PLACE FOR ‘THE SIREN’S LONELY SONG’!!!
Stew-O: HOLLY HAS THE ENERGY TO SHIFT HERSELF AROUND & SEND MINERVA DIRECTLY INTO A ROLL-UP!!! HER SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—
Jake Mercer: SO CLOSE!!!! NEARLY GOT HER!!! THE KICK OUT FROM MINERVA AS SHE’S WIDE EYED AND SPRAWLING BACK UP TO HER FEET WHILE SHE CAN, FOCUSING ON HOLLY ARROW—BUT HOLLY WITH A SUDDEN SHOOT KICK CATCHES MINERVA OFF GUARD AS SHE’S SENT STAGGERING AGAINST THE ROPES! HOLLY’S STRUGGLING A BIT TO REMAIN FOCUSED HERE, BUT HER TENACITY IS ON A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL! HOLLY RUSHES TOWARD MINERVA WHILE SHE’S STAGGERED AND LOOKS FOR ‘GALAXY IMPACT’—
Stew-O: MINERVA LEANS BACK AGAINST THE ROPES TO PREVENT HOLLY FROM CONNECTING WITH THE CODEBREAKER DOWNWARD—AS SHE TURNS THIS HALT INTO A SPINEBUSTER!!! HOLLY’S SLAMMED ONTO THE MAT AS MINERVA USED THE ENVIRONMENT TO EVADE DISASTER! HOLLY’S TRYING TO KEEP HER MOBILE HERE BUT MINERVA’S ASSUMING CONTROL JUST AS QUICKLY WHEN PLACING HER INTO POSITION!!!
Flannery McCoy: ‘THE SIREN’S LONELY SONG’!!!!! MINERVA CONNECTS WITH THE MANEUVER AS HOLLY’S SPIKED INTO THE MAT!!!! MINERVA DRAPES HERSELF OVER HOLLY ARROW FOR THE COUNT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… MIIIIIINERVA!!!
Jake Mercer: My goodness, that was quite the brutal affair between both women tonight after a hard hitting match they’ve just had! Wholeheartedly could’ve gone either way, Holly was dishing out an amplified sense of offense toward her tonight.
Flannery McCoy: Absolutely, Holly certainly had so much to prove here and put up one hell of a fight against the EAW Hall of Famer, Minerva’s heightened in-ring awareness would ultimately secure the victory tonight though.
Stew-O: Which does not take anything away from Holly Arrow, she went toe to toe with one of the very best, and that’s what you must do in order to assert yourself at the same level. With increased momentum going into Reckless Wiring, congratulations to Minerva!
(‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ can be heard throughout the speakers as the audience reacts loudly, with Minerva pushing herself back up to her feet using the ropes. The referee raises her hand, as she nods to herself in victory, with Holly Arrow soon leaning herself against the corner as she’s shaking her head with a measure of disappointment in tonight’s loss. The scene fades soon after.)
(A commercial is shown for Slim Jim featuring Cody Maverick.)
(Friday Night Dynasty returns to a shot of the Ball Arena, as the Denver crowd in attendance tonight is met with the sound of ‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ by AFI which begins to blast through the speakers. The crowd roars in approval of this as the camera goes over to show the Interwire Champion Hans Grayson as he makes his way out from the backstage area. Unsurprisingly, after what went down last week, he has a look of displeasure on his face which he tries to mask with a nonchalant expression. He doesn’t come out with his usual vibrant energy though as he makes his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… he is the EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! HANS GRAYSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Well last week we saw a stellar match between Hans Grayson and Rex McAllister in the main event. As it was all coming to a head, we had a surprise appearance by Shinzo Sasaki and his goons from the Underworld. They would end up costing him the match, and after the fact, he would be attacked by the goons while Shinzo held up his Interwire Championship.
Flannery McCoy: We know that recently Shinzo has been trying to emphasize the power he has over someone like Hans, but we know the Interwire Champion well enough that he’s not going to go down quietly. This match at Reckless Wiring is going to be a good one, but right now it seems like Hans has something to say.
Jake Mercer: Us Graysonites have no comment on this, for we refuse to get in trouble with the Underworld and have our families held hostage… at least we think that’s what’s going to happen. Thank you for your cooperation.
(Hans makes his way up the steel steps and onto the apron as he enters into the ring. He takes his title and adjusts it over his shoulder as he heads over and takes a microphone from the ringside area. ‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ then begins to completely fade out as, from there, Hans wastes absolutely no time beginning to speak.)
Hans Grayson: So let’s cut the bullshit. It’s clear I haven’t gotten into Shinzo Sasaki’s head exactly what happens when he tries to mess with a guy like me. The type of trouble that HE’S going to get himself into because, by the looks of things, he seems to be focused on the “trouble” that I’m going to get myself into. He thinks that he can just do whatever he wants with his little Underworld goons and expect to get away with zero repercussions because of the type of important figure that he is, well I’m not buying that. I’m not buying this illusion that he’s greater than thou and all of a sudden that means that I should just forfeit this Interwire Championship over. It’s truly amusing to see him try and intimidate me, but trust me, I am the last person that you want to do that. Along with that, the last thing you want to do is get on my bad side, because you’ll end up finding out exactly like everyone else just where that gets you.
Hans Grayson: So am I unhappy? Yes, I absolutely am. I take offense to everything that has happened to me and anyone else would if they were put in my position. I’ve been trying to gauge the capabilities of Shinzo Sasaki and look at him from the perspective of a competitor but it’s clear we’re not in the business of doing that anymore. The games are over, I’m done with that, you’ve pushed and pushed and continued to push and now you’re going to face the consequences of your actions. I’m not putting up with anything else, Shinzo, and I hope that’s heard loud and clear as we get closer and closer to Reckless Wiring. You can think all you want that you’re big and bad all because you’ve got people who are at your beck and call who can do your dirty work, but if you really thought that this would effectively kill the spirit of a Champion in this company, then you thought absolutely wrong. You put this upon yourself, and now I’m through with it. With a week left until Reckless Wiring, I am thrilled to put an end to this.
Hans Grayson: But enough of that, I’m not out here to run my mouth like you’d do, Shinzo I want you out here in this ring right now to meet me face-to-face… and I want you to do it by yourself, with nobody out here to help you.
(Hans lowers his microphone and spreads his arms out, waiting patiently for the man of the hour to show up. The crowd murmurs, as there is some suspense with the strategy of the challenger for the Interwire Championship tonight. As expected though, ‘Loose Change (Instrumental)’ by The Alchemist is heard playing up. The crowd boos as the camera goes over to reveal Shinzo Sasaki making his way out… all by himself. On his own accord he stands in his usual two-piece suit, a smirk on his face as he heads down to the ring.)
Stew-O: Ask and you shall receive, Shinzo Sasaki is not only coming out here tonight but he’s coming out here by himself. It doesn’t seem like the two are here to fight as they have been these past couple of weeks, but rather Shinzo is looking to hear him out.
Flannery McCoy: Despite Hans’ frustrations it doesn’t seem like Shinzo is reciprocating those same emotions as he approaches him. He’s calm and he’s collected and could that perhaps lead him to Reckless Wiring and winning the Interwire Championship? Well, that simply remains to be seen.
Jake Mercer: :lupe: I fear for his life.
(Shinzo makes his way up the steel steps and into the ring as he heads over and takes a microphone from the ringside area. ‘Loose Change (Instrumental)’ then begins to come to a close as the two approaches one another. Hans is heated while Shinzo shakes his head, and not long after he begins to speak.)
Shinzo Sasaki: You’re a fool, Hans. You call me a coward and say that I’m lying to everyone, but the only person I see doing that is you. What you’re doing by being all confident and steadfast toward your rather idiotic goals is simply prolonging the inevitable. You may think that this is your moment where you keep the Interwire Championship and the only purpose I serve to you is a stepping stone, but really it’s the other way around. I am going to be a Champion for the first time in my career here in EAW and it’s going to be at your expense. Since you refused to listen to me, you’re going to end up paying accordingly.
Hans Grayson: Oh, I’M going to pay? The last thing that you want to do is make empty threats that you can’t back up, Shinzo. I get it, everything has been falling into place for you, and for someone like me, it could seem like I’m on the defense. But I know exactly what I’m doing, and I meant what I said when I told you that I’m not going to back down. You have done everything in your power to try and get me to submit, to break me down mentally and physically, but even then I’m still here and I’m still calling you out on your bullshit. I’m going to be here next week, and I am more than ready to kick your ass at Reckless Wiring.
(Shinzo scoffs at what Hans has to say, shaking his head in disappointment.)
Shinzo Sasaki: You just don’t learn, do you? Let me warn you that I am far more dangerous than you could truly understand, and the truth of the matter is that everything that has happened thus far is only just a taste of what I’m truly capable of. Believe me, Hans, I could do a lot worse. I could do a lot of things to you that would make you simply physically incapable of showing up to Reckless Wiring, you know that. But I haven’t because I want to beat you like the dog you are, not relying on such things that you try and call me out for. While I’m tempted to have more of my people just come down here and batter you some more to teach you a lesson, I’m just not going to do that. I’m going to take that title by force and there is nothing that you’re going to be able to do to stop me.
Hans Grayson: I will stop you, that’s what you fail to understand. While you prop yourself up on this insurmountable pedestal, what you don’t get is what I’m capable of. All this pressure that has been placed on me by people, including you as well is nothing new. I’ve had the world doubt me before, say that I’m unable to get the job done, but I’ve proven them wrong, and the same thing will happen to you. The time for talk is over, now you get to truly see just the type of shit that you’ve gotten yourself into.
Shinzo Sasaki: You have no idea what YOU’VE gotten yourself into. What happens at Reckless Wiring will not be blood on my hands, you will have to take accountability for your own failures. If I have not broken you now, I will break you then, and I will take EVERYTHING from you and strip you of your humanity. It’s what you deserve.
Stew-O: AND HANS HAS HEARD ENOUGH! HE LUNGES FORWARD AND BEGINS TO SEND REPEATED STRIKES TOWARD THE HEAD OF SHINZO! HE TURNS HIM AROUND AND SENDS HIM TOWARD THE ROPES- NO! SHINZO MANAGES TO SPIN HIM AROUND AND REVERSE THE IRISH WHIP INTO ONE OF HIS OWN!
Flannery McCoy: AS SHINZO CATCHES HIM AND LIFTS HIM INTO ‘MADVILLAINY’! THE WRIST CLUTCH EXPLODER-
Jake Mercer: NO! HANS SPINS OUT BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A DISCUS LARIAT! HANS HAS HIM SET UP-
Stew-O: BUT SHINZO IS OUT OF THERE! THE CROWD IS BOOING HEAVILY RIGHT NOW AND HANS IS SHOUTING AT HIM TO GET BACK INTO THE RING!
(Hans picks up his title and raises it into the air while talking trash to Shinzo as ‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ begins to play up. Shinzo, dusting himself off, glares at Hans as the Interwire Champion shouts at him.)
Hans Grayson: (Off-Mic) Come Reckless Wiring, you’re going to pay for EVERYTHING!
(Shinzo shakes his head in disgust as he backpedals up the ramp, the last shot seen is Hans standing triumphantly in the ring as Friday Night Dynasty fades to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for mini golfing.)
(Coming back from commercial break, the cameras shift over to ringside where Stephie Love can be seen, ready to call the last match of the night.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FOLLOWING IS YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING, AND IT IS A TAG TEAM MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘2024’ by Playboi Carti began blaring through the speakers as the crowd erupted for the King of Elite, Joso, who walked his way out onto the stage with a confident smirk on his face. He pointed to the crowd and was about to start marching down to the ring, but he was interrupted by ‘When Darkness Falls’ by Killswitch Engage. The cheers switched to boos as Drake King strutted his way onto the stage next to Joso with a laugh. The two of them marched their way down, albeit with hostile glances at each other.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST! The tag team of the King of Elite, JOOOOOOOSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, and his partner, he is ‘God’, DRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE! KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!
Stew-O: Is anyone feeling a bit of deja vu here? All jokes aside, we’re going to be witnessing a repeat of the first main event of Season 18’s Friday Night Dynasty! However, after several weeks have passed, you can’t really look at this match the same way as you did at the beginning of the season.
Flannery McCoy: That’s right, these four men have been at each other’s throats since the start, and now they’re all having to team up with the very people that they’ve been fighting with for a month!
Jake Mercer: It’s a classic case of ‘can they co-exist’, and I’m personally hoping that the ‘King’ team DOESN’T co-exist. Drake King needs to take the loss for what he did to the Kaiser at Pain for Pride Kingdom!
Stew-O: It’s tough to say if EITHER of these teams will be able to stick together, but Joso and Drake King certainly won’t be getting along that well, especially after the brawl that broke out last week when Drake began condescending to the King of Elite!
(‘Saint Pablo’ by Kanye West began playing through the speakers to loud boos as Cy Henderson slowly walked out to the stage with a solemn and focused look on his face. He brushed off the boos and looked back as ‘Survivor’ by The Score began playing, causing the crowd to start cheering loudly at the arrival of Rex McAllister! Cy scoffed at the reaction and narrowed his eyes as Rex marched up to his side; they glared at each other before redirecting their attention to Drake and Joso in the ring and started storming their way down.)
Stephie Love: AND THEIR OPPONENTS! The tag team of the Justice Seeker, CYYYYYYYYYY HEEEEEEEEENDERSOOOOOOOOOOON, and his partner, the Lionheart, REEEEEEEEEEEX! MCALLISTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!
Flannery McCoy: Both of these men left last week with victories without managing to interfere in each other’s matches, so you could say that they’ve got a decent chance of making it through without getting in each other’s way as long as they stay focused on getting the win!
Jake Mercer: But just like Drake and Joso, they’ve been insulting each other even as they made promotional videos for their unrelated matches as well; the tension is clearly there, and we don’t know if anything will cause either one of them to snap!
Stew-O: Well, there’s only one way to find out as we head into the main event of the go-home show!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stew-O: And the match is…underway, I would normally say, but it looks like there’s some trouble between Drake and Joso already when it comes to who is starting off the match.
Joso: Man, you can’t be serious with this shit.
Drake King: Oh, I assure you, I am quite serious! Even though your God will be making an example out of you at Reckless Wiring, I STILL think it’s my responsibility to GIVE you an example of a perfect elitist as a leader! This brand revolves around me, after all!
Joso: Drake, if you don’t shut your-
Drake King: Again with the disrespect! How many chances do I have to give you before you understand and show your God the reverence He deserves?
(Joso looks to respond again, but suddenly he looks to the side and just smirks.)
Joso: You know what? You got it, Drake. You start us off.
Drake King: Ah, so you’re FINALLY seeing reason-
Stew-O: OH! AND A VICIOUS CLOTHESLINE BY CY HENDERSON SENDS DRAKE KING GOING OVER THE TOP ROPE! Joso had already stepped back onto the apron and out of the way, and he just laughed as Drake fell down to the ringside floor!
Flannery McCoy: You can’t say Drake didn’t have that coming, it seems Rex and Cy already decided on their own starting opponent. Not to mention, Cy Henderson still has a score to settle with Drake, since they had clashed for Drake’s world championship back in the previous season! I’m sure Cy’s looking to get the win here and establish himself as THE top contender for the World Heavyweight Championship!
Jake Mercer: YEAH! GET HIM, CYCLONE! FOR THE KAISER!
Stew-O: I can’t say he’s doing it for the Kaiser, but Cy is following suit as he steps onto the apron and hops down to ringside where Drake is getting back to his feet with his jaw clutched after Cy knocked him silly!
Flannery McCoy: Drake does manage to get up, but he just ends up getting clobbered by Cy Henderson, who is showing NO mercy tonight! Ever since his attitude change, Cy’s ruthlessness and disregard for everyone but himself has earned him a tremendous, albeit controversial, win against the likes of Limmy Monaghan, which effectively silenced all the doubters saying he’s washed up!
Jake Mercer: Of course, that didn’t silence Drake King saying things like that, but if we were in a world where Drake King could be silenced, we’d be in a better world. One ruled by the Kaiser!
Stew-O: Speaking of Drake, he’s fighting back too, resulting in a back and forth strikefest with the Justice Seeker! Cy goes for a big boot, likely looking to knock Drake King out and back to the ringside floor, but Drake managed to evade it by ducking underneath and scurrying past Cy!
Flannery McCoy: Cy Henderson only managed to turn around for a second before BAM, he got smacked with an overhead kick by the ever-agile Drake King! Like him or hate him, there’s a reason he was able to beat Methuselah in the main event of Pain for Pride!
Jake Mercer: The blow causes Cy Henderson to stagger back in a daze, holding his head in pain, which allows Drake enough time to perform a kip up and get back to his feet! He takes aim at Cy Henderson and immediately rushes forward to tackle Cy into the ring post!
Stew-O: One look at the expression on Cy Henderson’s face tells you exactly how bad getting slammed into the ring post hurts; it looked like he managed to tilt his head forward a bit before the impact, so the majority of the damage was to his spine!
Flannery McCoy: Cy staggers forward, and Drake King sees a moment of vulnerability that he can capitalize on! Without a moment of hesitation, Drake leaps up into the air right behind Cy and reaches his arms back, grabbing hold of Cy Henderson’s neck and bringing him down with a jumping neckbreaker!
Jake Mercer: The crafty Cy Henderson was able to take advantage at the beginning of the match, but Drake took the reins, and now he’s unfortunately in full control! Drake grabs Cy by the hair and forces him to his feet in order to roll him back into the ring under the bottom rope, and he follows along by sliding in!
Stew-O: Both men are back in the ring, now, and it looks like Drake King is looking to kick things up a notch and take this match closer to the end as he gives a few heavy stomps to the back of Cy Henderson before hooking both of his arms with a double underhook!
Flannery McCoy: I think he’s looking to perform Ascension, his signature pedigree maneuver, as he uses the double underhook to wrench Cy Henderson up to a bent standing position! Cy does get back to his feet, and Drake King is about to jump for Ascension!
Jake Mercer: WAIT! Cy forcefully wrenches his arms free from Drake’s double underhook just as Drake jumps up! The connection is broken and Cy immediately thrusts his arms up to meet Drake, popping him up higher than he initially intended to jump!
Stew-O: AND DRAKE GETS CAUGHT MID-AIR WITH A FIREMAN’S CARRY HOLD! Some IMPRESSIVE strength by Cy Henderson who can justifiably be counted as one of the strongest wrestlers in EAW, pound for pound! After catching Drake with that fireman’s carry hold from the pop up, Cy grabs Drake’s head and legs with both arms and hoists him up even higher into the air! WOW!
Flannery McCoy: THAT’S RIGHT, CY HAS DRAKE UP IN A MILITARY PRESS RIGHT NOW! He’s scrambling frantically to get out of it, but Cy’s grip is ironclad! Without further ado, Cy Henderson drops Drake and PLANTS him with a military press powerslam, causing him to crash into the canvas with a deafening thud!
Jake Mercer: He tries hooking the leg off of that!
ONEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: But Drake manages to kick out right as the referee’s hand lands on the mat for the second time! Cy scowls at Drake’s resilience, but nevertheless he doesn’t seem too deterred as he prepares to continue the assault now that he’s switched the momentum over to his side!
Flannery McCoy: He grabs a hold of Drake King by the hair and violently drags him back to his feet before executing a rough kick to the midsection, forcing Drake to double over! Cy takes this moment to hoist Drake King up onto his shoulders and it seems like he’s looking to perform one of his classic devastating buckle bombs!
Jake Mercer: He turns towards his own corner and, with Drake King still seated on his shoulders, begins running forward as he looks to hurl King back-first against the turnbuckles– BUT WAIT, IT DIDN’T WORK, DRAKE MANAGED TO REVERSE THE BUCKLE BOMB THROW INTO A HURRICANRANA THROW, SENDING CY HENDERSON FLYING INTO HIS OWN CORNER!
Referee: TAG!
Stew-O: Woah, what? OH! It looks like as Cy was sent into the corner, his hand smacked against Rex McAllister! Rex shrugs and jumps into the ring, ready to go, and the crowd is cheering for him as he does so! But someone else doesn’t look so happy…
Cy Henderson: What are you doing?! I have this under control.
Rex McAllister: I got tagged in, and so I’m going to fight; don’t forget that this is a tag team match, ‘partner’.
Flannery McCoy: You can feel the tension from here, that’s for sure, but Drake King is certainly not opposed to taking advantage of the confusion just as Cy Henderson took advantage of his and Joso’s issue at the beginning of the match! With Rex’s back turned to him, Drake rushes in and leaps into the air, crashing into the back of Rex’s head with a jumping high knee!
Jake Mercer: What a coward! Rex stumbles forward until he falls against the ropes, and Drake immediately reaches forward and grabs hold of the Lionheart’s wrist before using it to perform an Irish Whip to send Rex running across the length of the ring!
Stew-O: Rex reaches the rings on the opposite side of the ring, and Drake King looks to catch Rex with a standing dropkick in the middle of the ring after the rebound sends the Lionheart back- but it didn’t play out like that, because Rex McAllister managed to grab hold of the ropes and prevent himself from rebounding!
Flannery McCoy: Drake King falls flat on his back after Rex’s veteran instinct kicked in! Drake talked a lot of trash about how the industry doesn’t need people like Cy and Rex anymore, but their experience leads them to be able to see through maneuvers like that as naturally as they breathe!
Jake Mercer: Drake King immediately tries scrambling up with his back held in pain, but Rex rushes forward with a surprising amount of speed and knocks Drake right back down to the canvas with a running lariat! He immediately drops to his knees and prevents Drake from trying to roll out of the way as he lurches forward and executes an elbow smash to the side of Drake’s face!
Stew-O: Not just one, or two, but THREE elbow smashes connect to the head of the Fashion Icon, and that was certainly enough to knock him silly! Rex immediately switches positions as he swings one of his legs around the right arm of Drake King and throws the other leg over too, trapping the arm in between!
Flannery McCoy: The Lionheart is a grandmaster when it comes to technical wrestling, and he’s showing exactly why with how quickly he transitioned into that armbar! He’s got it locked in and he’s already started wrenching it! Drake is flailing his legs in pain as Rex has begun targeting that arm of his with ruthless precision!
Jake Mercer: You know Drake and Rex have some history of their own, and Drake still holds a grudge for what Rex has done in the past when it comes to Drake pursuing the world championship! Funny how time seems to move in a circle, because in a match like this, all four competitors are looking to establish dominance with their world championship aspirations already having been made crystal clear!
Stew-O: Drake is in a bad situation here, though, because he doesn’t seem to want to tap but Rex might tear his arm out of its socket if he doesn’t! OH, and Drake manages to push himself using his legs enough to leverage himself over Rex McAllister!
Flannery McCoy: Rex still has his legs wrapped around that arm, and Drake is using that connection point to roll Rex McAllister up, hoping for a flash pinfall here!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jake Mercer: Rex McAllister is able to thrust his shoulder off the mat just in time, but that motion was enough to give Drake the inadvertent help he needed to lift Rex off the mat USING the armbar lock! With Rex effectively wrapped around that arm and Drake hoisting up his entire bodyweight, he won’t be able to hold him up for long… looks like he won’t have to, though, as he immediately sprints forward and hurls Rex into an uninhabited corner of the ring with a buckle bomb of his own!
Stew-O: Rex McAllister lands against the corner and bounces off with an agonized expression, arching his back in pain after that devastating landing… but arching his back like that may have been just what Drake King was looking for, because it exposed his jaw! Drake rushes forward and lands a vicious superkick to the jaw of the Lionheart, and THAT is enough to knock Rex McAllister down to a seated position up against the bottom turnbuckle!
Drake King: THAT’S how you do a buckle bomb properly! Do you get it, Cy? I shouldn’t have to teach that to someone as old as you, but I’m a generous God!
Flannery McCoy: He’s hurling that trash talk at Cy, who glares at him from the corner; mocking him is very in-character for Drake, but Cy isn’t the active team member in the match right now!
Stew-O: Drake redirects his attention to Rex as he backs up and takes aim at the seated Lionheart before rushing forward, looking to crash into him with a basement dropkick! BUT NO, AT THE VERY LAST MOMENT, REX MCALLISTER MANAGES TO ROLL OUT ONTO THE APRON, AND THAT MEANS THERE’S NOBODY THERE TO CUSHION DRAKE KING’S LANDING AS HE HURTLES TOWARDS THE BOTTOM TURNBUCKLE, UNABLE TO CHANGE HIS TRAJECTORY!
Jake Mercer: AHAHAHAHA! DRAKE JUST CRASHED INTO THE BOTTOM TURNBUCKLE! He clutches at his legs as he kicks and curls up in pain! Rex managed to take advantage and get out of the way, and now he rolls himself back into the ring with his opponent in a considerably more vulnerable position!
Crowd: REX! REX! REX! REX! REX! REX!
Flannery McCoy: You can hear the energy in the crowd for Rex McAllister right now, and he reciprocates as he forces Drake back to his feet! He immediately reaches both of his arms forward and applies a front waist lock to the Fashion Icon before clenching him tight and HURLING him over his head with an overhead belly to belly suplex!
Stew-O: The Lionheart was powerful enough to send Drake King FLYING overhead, and that causes him to land right over by his corner! Rex sees this and his eyes widen as he rushes forward to pull him away–
Joso: Not happening.
Referee: TAG!
Jake Mercer: THE KING OF ELITE HAS ENTERED THE FRAY! Drake’s leg landed on the rope after that overhead belly to belly suplex, and Joso took that opportunity to make the tag, with or without Drake King knowing it or wanting it! Rex looks on in disappointment as Joso, the freshest man in the match, steps into the ring with a confident smirk, and now we have two people that the fans are rooting for in the form of Joso and Rex McAllister!
Stew-O: Drake King, after he rolls onto the apron following that massive suplex, widens his eyes as he realizes Joso forcefully tagged himself into the match, and now he’s looking furious about it! But it looks like Joso doesn’t care as he immediately focuses his attention to the Lionheart!
Joso: C’mon, Rex! You’re a technician, right? Let’s grapple.
Flannery McCoy: WOW! Bold words from the bold King of Elite as he looks to challenge Rex McAllister at his own game! Perhaps not the best move, but you certainly can’t fault him for his ambition and confidence!
Jake Mercer: Rex chuckles a bit as he raises his arms up, and now both men are circling each other looking for a collar-and-elbow tie up that they can start with the leverage! Joso, the newest man in the match, is able to lurch forward quicker though and grab hold of Rex before quickly stepping behind Rex and applying a waist lock!
Stew-O: Joso uses that waist lock to execute a waist lock takedown, bringing Rex down to the mat ribs-first! It certainly didn’t look like the most pleasant landing for Rex. Nevertheless, Joso slides across the back of Rex and makes it back to his front, where he locks in a double underhook and immediately uses it to hoist Rex back up to his feet!
Flannery McCoy: Joso, with that double underhook applied, glances at Drake King with a smirk on his face- is he teasing Ascension? Oh, but it seems he opts for his own butterfly suplex instead, throwing Rex over and forcing him to land on his back!
Jake Mercer: Joso quickly rushes in and looks to apply an armbar, just like Rex did to Drake, but Rex is able to use the momentum of Joso applying it to get out of it immediately, forcing Joso to roll through!
Stew-O: Joso does indeed roll through and makes it back to his knees, but Rex is already up and lurches forward with a low-angled Yakuza kick! That knocks Joso onto his back, and Rex reaches down and grabs him by the hip and shoulder!
Flannery McCoy: Joso gets lifted up in a classic body slam position, but rather than going for that, Rex hurls Joso back with a fall away slam, throwing him across the ring near Drake!
Jake Mercer: And now Drake King is kneeling down and laughing at the fallen King of Elite! He disrespects the king, he disrespects the Kaiser, does he know no bounds?! Rex marches up to Joso to continue, but Drake starts mocking him too!
Drake King: Oh, what Rex, you’re gonna go for a small fry like Joso and feud with a corpse like Cy Henderson? Why’re you ducking the only GOD in this ring?!
Rex: …
Stew-O: It looks like Rex may be about to do something about Drake, but Joso immediately pops up from underneath and KNOCKS Rex silly with a classic uppercut! A straight up fist to the bottom of the Lionheart’s jaw, and that is enough to send him staggering back! Joso rushes forward and crashes into Rex with running dropkick, and that sends the Lionheart down to the canvas as he’s forced to roll back to his corner!
Flannery McCoy: Joso is hyped up right now as he runs forward and leaps up into the air, executing a perfect backflip before he crashes down and lands on Rex with a running shooting star press!
Jake Mercer: Joso gets up and taunts to the crowd as he signals for the end of the match, but as he turns around…
Referee: TAG!
Stew-O: Cy just tagged himself in as Rex was starting to get up! Rex looks up incredulously at Cy, who smirks and gets into the ring himself before tackling Joso amidst the confusion!
Flannery McCoy: He spins himself behind Joso and applies a classic waist lock before hurling Joso back with a release German suplex, showing the power on display as he sends the King of Elite flying!
Jake Mercer: Cy Henderson measures Joso up as he starts to get back to his feet, and he connects with a shoulder block! Joso scrambles back to his feet, feeling thrown off as he switched opponents from a technical master to an outright powerhouse, but Cy was ready as he immediately hits yet another shoulder block!
Stew-O: Constantly getting thrown back to the canvas is going to build up some damage against Joso as he staggers back up slower than before, looking to take Cy out with a desperate lariat, but Cy is able to duck underneath and grabs hold of Joso’s head! He throws Joso’s arm up and grabs his leg before hoisting him up…
Flannery McCoy: EXPLODER SUPLEX! A perfectly executed exploder suplex lands, and Joso’s hot streak may end here as Cy looks menacingly down at the King of Elite! Is he going for it here?!
Jake Mercer: He very well might be! He forces Joso to get into a prone position on the mat before rolling through, having Joso on his shoulders in an Argentine Backbreaker Rack position as the Justice Seeker kneels!
Stew-O: But he only kneels for a few moments before he is able to squat Joso up to a standing position! Joso may have been the freshest member in the ring, but Cy was able to recuperate from all damage as he was an inactive member of the match for a considerable portion! He has him in position for Rising Tide, and I think he’s about to go for it–
Flannery McCoy: But Joso frantically executes a flurry of elbow smashes to the side of Cy Henderson’s head, and I think that might be enough to throw him off his game…!
Jake Mercer: The blows to the head force Cy to stumble forward with Joso on his shoulders, and he accidentally releases Joso over the rope before he staggers back with the weight off his shoulders!
Stew-O: But as Joso was released, he accidentally made Joso perform a dropkick of sorts to Drake King, who was standing right there on the apron! Drake and Joso both fall out to ringside, and Cy Henderson stumbles back and falls against his own corner with his head clutched after all those elbow smashes!
Flannery McCoy: As he falls back, though, he makes contact with Rex!
Referee: TAG!
Jake Mercer: Cy Henderson shakes his head as he forces himself to stay in the game, but all he sees is Rex entering the ring as he marches towards the corner where Drake and Joso fell out of the ring! Cy reaches forward and places a heavy hand on Rex’s shoulder.
Cy Henderson: Stop getting in the match. You aren’t needed.
Stew-O: He swings Rex around and demands he go back to the corner and let Cy tag back in, but Rex isn’t having it! Insults start flying from Cy Henderson, and Rex scoffs and tries to laugh it off as he looks to turn back around–
Flannery McCoy: OH! A SLAP TO REX MCALLISTER, AND THAT CERTAINLY GETS THE LIONHEART ANGRY!
Jake Mercer: AND AT RINGSIDE, DRAKE AND JOSO HAVE BEGUN SHOVING EACH OTHER BACK AND FORTH!
Drake King: YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE! HOW DARE YOU ATTACK YOUR GOD?!
Joso: HOW THE FUCK WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN ON PURPOSE?! CY THREW ME!
Stew-O: Oh, I think this is about to fall apart–
Flannery McCoy: AND IT DOES! REX AND CY START THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHTS AT EACH OTHER IN THE RING, AND DRAKE KING HAS TACKLED JOSO TO THE GROUND AND NOW THEY’RE FIGHTING EACH OTHER AT RINGSIDE! THE REF HAS NO CHOICE!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS MATCH HAS BEEN RULED A NO-CONTEST!
Jake Mercer: The crowd starts booing at the non-finish, but I don’t think any of these wrestlers care! Reckless Wiring is just around the corner, and tensions have been replaced with outright physical hostility as they can’t wait until Reckless Wiring to tear each other limb from limb!
Flannery McCoy: Rex McAllister knocks Cy over the ropes and out to ringside, and he immediately makes chase– BUT CY JUST TACKLED REX INTO THE STEEL STEPS, KNOCKING THEM OUT OF THEIR POSITION!
Stew-O: And Joso just forced Drake to his feet and dragged him over– IS HE ABOUT TO THROW HIM OVER THE COMMENTATOR’S TABL- AAAH!
(Drake gets thrown over the table and into the commentators, knocking everything off the table as a result! Joso hops onto the table and dives into the carnage as he continues attacking Drake! Security guards rush out as Cy and Rex look like their brawl is about to spill into the audience! All four men get separated and forcefully dragged away from each other as they continue hurling insults at each other. The video feed fades as the chaos is just BARELY contained… with one week left until Reckless Wiring.)
(A commercial plays, with Joso taking on Drake King, and Cy Henderson taking on Rex McAllister.)
(Dynasty returns, and Stew-O can be seen in the ring. As standard fare for a contract signing, there is a table along with chairs, two microphones and the ever-so-important folder containing the contract that is to be signed. Stew-O, with a microphone in hand, greets everyone.)
Stew-O: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and wow, what a go-home show it has been. However, there is still one thing left on the agenda, and that is of course the contract signing for the World Heavyweight Championship match between Myles, the defending champion, and his challenger, Drake Armstrong. As always, these world title matches are hotly-anticipated, but given the brewing tensions between these two Elitists and how things have escalated, there are more eyes placed on this match to see who will emerge victorious. Will Myles, who some call a “world champion’s world champion”, continue his streak of dominance at the top of Dynasty, or can Drake Armstrong usher in a new future by continuing to build off the heels of his Interwire Championship run and cement himself as someone worthy of being above so many others? There are some interesting dynamics at play here. However, what is even more interesting are the three stipulations you, the fans, have the power to choose. Myles and Drake will compete either in a Dome of Death, Glass TLC or Landmine Deathmatch at Reckless Wiring. Of course, that is up to all of you to decide.
(The fans are hyped and cheering, clearly looking forward to the bout, with some even going so far as to shout out their preferred match type.)
Stew-O: Now, I would like to start things off by first introducing the challenger for the EAW World Heavyweight Championship: Drake Armstrong!
(‘Pride and Arrogance’ by Takeru Kanazaki hits, and the shift from the fans is like night and day as they immediately begin to boo. However, for the aristocratic Drake Armstrong, he cares little for the fans’ reception — and their perception, for that matter — of him. Donning an elegant suit and tie ensemble befitting of someone for his class and status, he saunters down to the ring, having his signature smug smirk on his face. Entering the ring, he briefly acknowledges Stew-O with a quaint nod before taking his seat.)
Drake Armstrong: What a nice introduction, Stew-O. At least you have some sense acknowledging me for the top star that I am, the unparalleled future of this promotion, unlike these lowlife rats here in Denver. Ugh.
(The fans do not take his slights lightly. They continue to boo, but Drake fans them off.)
Stew-O: Well, you may not be winning any popularity contests anytime soon, but there’s no denying that within a year of signing to this place, you have become one of the most visible faces in EAW. You’ve been in notable matches and have had memorable performances, from Reckless Wiring last year, to Territorial Invasion, House of Glass, and, ultimately, when you were able to capture your first-ever championship here at Grand Rampage. You’ve been steadily building up a great resume for yourself, and naturally, that would lead you towards the main event scene, where you went out of your way to put Myles on notice as his first challenger for the new season.
Drake Armstrong: I absolutely did, Stew-O. While those Neanderthals and has-beens were too consumed arguing and bickering with one another, I took it upon myself to strike while the iron was hot. I came on in, seized the opportunity for myself, and now, I’m here. I simply cannot wait, either. Reckless Wiring will be another important chapter in my young yet illustrious career, and being the one to finally put Myles down in the dirt where he rightfully belongs brings nothing more than a smile on my face. After all, he’s been allowed to walk around and parade as if he is the greatest thing ever, but he is no Drake Armstrong. He is no Future. He is nothing more than a man who has outlived his usefulness, and now, it is time for him to accept his defeat and recognize that he no longer has what it takes to compete in MY era of Elite Answers Wrestling. Perhaps losing to me will even widen him up a little, get him to see how his selfish actions will not take him far in the end.
Stew-O: Speaking on that, you have been poking the bear quite a bit, even bringing up Minerva, Myles’ wife, into the fray.
Drake Armstrong: Poking the bear? Me? No. That is absurd! All I’ve merely done is state the truth. After all, was he not the same guy who, as the young ones say nowadays, got all up in his feelings when she beat him at Pain for Pride? Or how when he ultimately did regain that championship, it nearly fractured their relationship entirely because of his whole approach and demeanor heading into it? It’s a noted problem with him. And sure enough, he got himself involved in our match, thinking that he’d put me in my proverbial place when all he did was ruin things for his supposed beloved. Seems like a definitive pattern to me! But of course, the topic at hand is often a sore one for Myles, so I’m not surprised that he can’t handle it whenever I simply state the obvious. It just goes to show how shallow and simple-minded he is, unbecoming of someone who wishes to be at the top here. There’s just too many faults that he has. At the very least, I will be doing everyone a favor once I defeat him next Saturday when I beat him. Then, an actual leader can, you know, lead Dynasty for a change.
(The fans continue to boo, not agreeing with Drake at all.)
Stew-O: Those are some pretty strong sentiments you have about Myles.
Drake Armstrong: But am I wrong? Come on, Stew-O. You know it to be true as well.
Stew-O: 🤐
Drake Armstrong: Alright, alright, I shan’t press you on the matter. You wish to be a neutral, objective party in this. I get it. Still, I’m not wrong. Myles is a very flawed individual, and in turn, a flawed champion. I shall right the wrongs he has brought onto that championship’s legacy and wipe off the stain he has left on it. It’s as simple as that.
Stew-O: Interesting. I’m sure you have even more to get off your chest in regards to Myles, but I think it may be better if we were to get the champion himself out here. And so, without further ado, everyone please welcome the defending, reigning EAW World Heavyweight Champion, Myles!
(‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi plays, and the fans roar for Myles who steps out, wearing far more casual clothes compared to Drake. At the sight of him, Armstrong immediately raises his nose up and scoffs. This is not lost on the champion who mirrors his own disgust with a frown on his face. Myles wastes little time, walking to the ring and entering it. Stew-O is about to ask Myles something, but instead, the champion grabs the other microphone and speaks, cutting his entrance music.)
Myles: You know, Drake, I have had just about enough with your antics and bullshit rhetoric. You are nothing in comparison to me. Some people may give you grace, even toe along the lines of thinking you’re next to inherit the throne I currently preside in, but that is not going to be the case. You have no idea what you are getting yourself into, but it’s no matter to me. You have decided you wanted to approach me in the worst way possible, and as a result, you will be faced with the consequences of your actions. I know such a concept usually evades an air-headed, silver spoon-fed brat like you, but this is the real world now, and the fact of the matter is that you can only get away with so much.
Drake Armstrong: Wow, Myles, you sure are intimidating! Did I strike a nerve with you? Well, that’s too damn bad. You just hate it that someone has been able to see through your facade and call you exactly what you are.
Myles: And what would that be, precisely? Hm? Please, enlighten me…
Drake Armstrong: Haven’t I made it clear already? For someone as accomplished as you are, you are nothing more than an insecure, pathetic, thin-skinned simpleton who can’t handle the fact that you aren’t perfect.
Myles: ?? What are you on about? In case you haven’t gotten the memo, I never claimed to be perfect. However, hearing YOU of ALL PEOPLE trying to chastise me as such is not only ironic, but downright hilarious.
Drake Armstrong: Well, I am perfect, that’s the thing. I am the perfect Elitist, and in turn, the perfect world champion.
Myles: If that’s the case, how come you haven’t won a world title yet?
Drake Armstrong: Okay, now you are being purposefully obtuse. Still, leave it to you to try and argue in bad faith. Face it, Myles; you know out of everyone you have faced, I am the biggest threat that stands in your way.
Myles: You? My biggest threat? Have you forgotten that my last defense was against Jamie O’Hara? Or the one prior was with SOSA Henderson? How about Limmy Monaghan? Bronson Daniels AND Jake Smith? But let me guess — you think you are miles ahead of them, don’t you?
Drake Armstrong: Well, yes. Why wouldn’t I be?
Myles: Alright, so you’re not only an arrogant jackass but a delusional one as well. Then again, that wouldn’t be the first time someone with your first name was like that…
Drake Armstrong: Ah, you mean the other hall of famer and the man who helped build up your career? I suppose that means I’m off to a great start in my career if I’m being compared to the likes of him.
Myles: You are ridiculous. You’re asinine. You are a fool. I am about sick and tired of you, Armstrong. I really am.
Drake Armstrong: Are you?
Myles: Yes.
(That’s when Myles steps forward, and Drake immediately stands up. The fans start to buzz at a possible fight, but Stew-O reaches over and sticks out his arm to block the two.)
Stew-O: Alright, guys, you can save it for next weekend. The contract signing?
(Drake and Myles continue to stare daggers into each other… but Myles relents, and takes a seat. He grabs the pen, opens up the folder, and signs his name.)
Myles: There. Go ahead and sign. Make it official that from this point forward, there is no turning back when it comes to this.
(He pushes the folder towards Drake’s direction. He scoffs. He takes the pen and signs.)
Drake Armstrong: You’re right — there is no turning back… especially when I have you right where I want.
Myles: What are you blabbering about now—
(Suddenly, the fans screech.)
Jake Mercer: WAIT! DRAKE ARMSTRONG TAKES THE PEN AND GOES TO STAB MYLES WITH IT!
Crowd: :damn: !!!
Flannery McCoy: NO!! MYLES IS ABLE TO GRAB THE ARM!! DRAKE LOOKS ON IN SHOCK AS HE REALIZES HIS SNEAK ATTACK DIDN’T WORK! AND MYLES IS FURIOUS AT THIS RATE!
Jake Mercer: LOOK AT STEW-O! HE GRABS THE CONTRACT AND HIGHTAILS OUTTA THERE! MEANWHILE, MYLES PULLS DRAKE CLOSER AND LIFTS HIM UP—
Flannery McCoy: ‘DE FACTO’ THROUGH THE WOODEN TABLE! OH MY GOODNESS! MYLES LAYS DRAKE ARMSTRONG OUT WITH THAT ONE!
(Drake Armstrong is lying within the broken heap of the table. The fans cheer, loving the fact that he got hurt. Myles stands over him, before a small smirk surfaces on his face.)
Jake Mercer: Seems to me like Myles is content dishing out a little bit of revenge onto his opponent for Reckless Wiring! Hell, he may have gotten a jumpstart with that match depending on how hurt Drake is!
(Stew-O returns to his seat.)
Stew-O: I… suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised it got that far. :wow:
Flannery McCoy: It was bound to happen.
(Myles holds his title up, standing over Drake Armstrong. That’s the final shot before Dynasty fades to black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
