(EAW intro plays.)
(Poor Unfortunate Souls immediately opens up to a video package hyping up the Supershow. Milli Banks and Caroline are seen with Caroline trying to reason with Milli after a miscommunication, but that only leads to Milli getting more riled up and instead challenging Caroline to a match which she accepts. Amir Yusuf is deadset on what the future beholds but that was temporarily halted by one Jay Jerry Johnson who introduced himself to Dynasty by sending a warning, lo and behold, the two of them find themselves across the ring from one another with a chance to make a statement heading into the Season tonight. Bronson Daniels since his return has felt more motivated than ever, even putting out a challenge for Poor Unfortunate Souls toward anyone who was willing to accept. A vengeful Ronan Malosi would end up doing so, making it 100% known that he wasn’t going to be a pushover and things were going to be different from their last encounter. Serenity Valdez entered into the Season in a big way, but Diamond Dixon was looking to derail any momentum she had by attacking her and making it known that she was coming for her Specialists Championship. With a match confirmed, Diamond got the opportunity to choose the stipulation in a heated encounter, making it a submission match. Ever since Dr. Angelo D’Angelo and The Visual Prophet pulled off a scheme to cost Limmy Monaghan a shot at the Undisputed World Heavyweight Interwire Championship, Limmy has sought answers but has only met roadblocks courtesy of Soul Food Sunday. Now the two of them step into the ring, with Limmy looking to set it straight and pave a way and Viz looking to get another big win for his team at the same time. Andre Walker has reigned as a double Champion since Pain For Pride and has made history by becoming the longest reigning Interwire Champion. But that has also created a huge target on his back, with Joso and Ruler hot on his tail looking to take the Interwire Championship away from him. Now ‘The Kaiser’ steps into one of his toughest matches yet, hoping to maintain his dominant status at the top of the totem pole with nobody there to stop him.)
(Poor Unfortunate Souls then goes to a shot of the Nikos Galis Olympic Indoor Hall, where a beautiful array of pyro is seen shooting out from the stage with the crowd on their feet in anticipation. The camera pans around the show the hyped-up atmosphere here tonight before then focusing on the broadcast booth. The usual team of Stew-O, Flannery McCoy, and Jake Mercer are then seen standing by.)
Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come. The moment that we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived, and we have the chance to welcome you tonight… to POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: The first Supershow of the Season is underway and we have the chance to set a precedent for what’s to come, and let me just say it is going to be exciting. TONIGHT, the Specialists Championship is on the line with Serenity Valdez defending against Diamond Dixon in a submission match. Not only that, but the Interwire Champion as well with Andre Walker defending against Joso and Ruler. Along with a plethora of singles matches such as Limmy Monaghan versus The Visual Prophet and Bronson Daniels versus Ronan Malosi. I just can’t wait for what’s to come!
Jake Mercer: That’s nice and all, BUT SHUT UP. I certainly don’t want to waste time getting underway tonight as we have four special guests here tonight to kick off the show! Oh my Gawd, I JUST CAN’T WAIT! LET’S GET RIGHT TO IT!
(“Ain’t Nobody” by Rufus and Chaka Khan begins to play throughout the PA system of the Nikos Galis Olympic Indoor Hall in Athens, Greece, and both members of Soul Food Sunday alongside their manager appear on stage. Together, they make their way to the ring, the fans in Athens making it clear just how unenthusiastic they are to see Soul Food Sunday and Dr. Angelo D’Angelo this evening throughout their strut down the stage.)
Flannery McCoy: And before we can get into the action, ladies and gentlemen, it looks like Soul Food Sunday, one of the newest tag teams in Elite Answers Wrestling, is going to be joining us here tonight in Greece!
Jake Mercer: Somebody better save me a plate!!!! :blessed:
Stew-O: I for one am particularly interested in seeing what Soul Food Sunday has to say after what happened last week on Dynasty…and Showdown…AND Voltage.
Jake Mercer: That’s right, Stew! We witnessed the return LIVE last week of the Trap Queen herself, Serena Bennett, Viz’s old tag team partner and a woman who has a bit of an unfavorable history with Astraea Jordan. I do hope that Viz manages to bring these two beautiful Black queens together for the fight against injustice in EAW, and frankly, if they would have me, I’d LOVE to join in, too! ✊🏻
Flannery McCoy: Something tells me it might not work out the way you think, Jake.
Jake Mercer: You stay hatin’ on me and my people. :mjpls:
(Upon entering the ring, D’Angelo carefully places a microphone each in Viz’s and Astraea’s hands, holding onto one for himself while the raucous Athens crowd refuses to let up even though “Ain’t Nobody” has finally come to a close. We catch a glimpse of Astraea Jordan, completely unbothered by the negative crowd reception, rolling her eyes and chuckling as they rain down on D’Angelo who continues to berate the European crowd off-mic. Eventually, Viz raises the microphone to his lips, a wide smile on his face as he addresses the audience.)
Visual Prophet: Man, [BLEEP] Limmy Monaghan.
(The crowd in the arena buzzes, naturally, at Viz’s profanity, despite knowing such language is banned on Disney broadcasts.)
Visual Prophet: Ye, I said it. Do something about it, I dare you. Fine me, or try to, and find yourselves in the midst of a lawsuit. Fire me, and you’d immediately feel the shift that would take place in my absence. This company can’t function without me. I am THE biggest attraction this whole sport has ever seen, the mere idea of me leaving, bringing my talents elsewhere, walking out, it shivers their timbers. Majority of you can’t relate to this sort of power, this authority, the hold that I have over this whole industry. There is no limit to the sort of things you commonfolk would do to have the life I’m living right now, while I run laps around you normies, men like Limmy Monoghan run in place. And I’ll never understand the hype surrounding this “man,” if that’s what we wanna call him. Whatever’s in that pack they’re smoking that’s got everybody thinking Limmy is going to be a future World Champion one day, all I see is some lost little boy who has always been a step behind the Xanders and Drakes and Jakes and Andres of the world. Nothing but a bootleg Jamie O’Hara who tries way too hard to emulate him in every capacity, down to the Crunchyroll premium subscriptions, but he still can’t emulate him in a way that actually matters, inside the ring.
Visual Prophet: Went and made that little boy a Team Captain, a nice little nod, but he’s got too big of a pair of shoes to fill. Last year, I seamlessly led team Dynasty to victory for the second year in a row at Territorial Invasion and now they think LIMMY MONOAGHAN is going to keep that streak going? No better way to guarantee Dynasty a loss than a choice like that. Little Limmy can never measure up to me, and I’m ashamed that I have to stand back and watch this happen to my brand. They could’ve easily given me the rub again–
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Pause.
Visual Prophet: –to make sure that Dynasty reigned supreme for the third year in a row, but they set themselves up for failure. Guaranteed fat L. Far too late to ask me for help now, by the way, wouldn’t catch me carrying around dead weight. No interest in joining a team that has zero chance of winning now. I look forward to reminding Limmy later tonight who the superior Elitist between us really is.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: TALK TO THESE BOZOS!
Visual Prophet: Speaking of Territorial Invasion and upcoming monumentally sized L’s…I know our biggest fans went ahead and laid out a challenge for the Free-Per-View, and for their sake, I wish BULLETSTORM knew how to tell when enough is enough.
Astraea Jordan: Nah, don’t you get it, Viz? Those two clearly have some sort of humiliation kink. Can’t get out of their own damn way. We already made them look dumb as hell at Midsummer Massacre, but if they really wanna run it back and catch themselves another L, we can do that, no problem. I myself am more than happy to assist with that. No skin off my back if Aurora and SOSA didn’t learn their lesson the first time. It’s their funeral.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Once they get a taste, they can’t help but to come back for seconds! :ohlawd:
Astraea Jordan: Exactly. And that’s their business. I’m not one to turn away from a fight, Viz, and neither are you.
Visual Prophet: ‘Course not.
Astraea Jordan: So, I say we serve it up to ‘em. BULLETSTORM, we would GLADLY accept your challenge at Territorial Invasion.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Just a shame we couldn’t turn this into a three-on-two. :creep:
Astraea Jordan: Oh. Right. That happened.
Visual Prophet: C’mon, Astraea, what’s the attitude about?
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE WELCOME….THE NEWEST MEMBER OF SOUL FOOD SUNDAY…OUR NEWEST INSTRUCTOR, MENTOR, AND BRAND AMBASSADOR AT THE VPLA…THE ONE AND ONLY TWO-TIME, TWO-TIME, INAUGURAL UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION OF THE WORLD…COMPTON’S MOST NOTORIOUS CRIP…PURVEYOR OF THE MOST DELECTABLE, FINEST, TOASTIEST, JUICIEST, BUTTERY PLATE OF HAWAIIAN ROLLS–
Visual Prophet: Angie.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: SEREEEENNNAAAAAA BEEEEENNNNEEEEEETTTTTTTTTT!!
(“Surfin’ [ft. Pharrell Williams]” by Kid Cudi kicks up, and the Athens crowd explodes with a deafening mixed reaction to welcome the former two-time Universal Women’s Champion. Serena steps out onto the stage, highly satisfied as usual to step out to such a polarizing crowd reaction. She wastes little time trotting down the ramp and to the ring, looking around at the crowd filling the arena before focusing on the Beloved Brother and her former tag-team partner who can hardly contain their excitement as she makes her way towards the ring.)
Jake Mercer: THERE SHE IS! COMPTON’S FINEST! Black excellence in the flesh! Serena Bennett is HERE in Athens!
Flannery McCoy: It has been well over a year since we’ve seen Serena Bennett inside of an EAW ring, and she has made quite the impact already since her surprise arrival last week on Dynasty!
Stew-O: I’ll say. Serena even went as far as to attack Andrea Valentine, her oldest, first, and fiercest rival in EAW, and take her out of action indefinitely.
Jake Mercer: Serena has become exceptionally well known for making statements and leaving her lasting impression behind all throughout her career—as a Black woman should certainly feel empowered to do! :wow:
(Serena enters the ring with D’Angelo’s help as he holds open the ropes. She greets both D’Angelo and Viz with crushing hugs, and it’s all smiles between the three of them. Astraea keeps her arms folded across her chest as Serena approaches her. Serena, refusing to take the hint, extends her arms wide open for a hug from Astraea. She’s hesitant, but after seeing Viz and D’Angelo encourage an uncomfortable Astraea to be a little more friendly, she gives in, albeit visibly uncomfortable. D’Angelo scurries to grab Serena a microphone of her own as “Surfin’” dies down.)
Serena Bennett: Man, I don’t even know how to start. It feels good as hell to be standing next to you inside this here ring, again, Viz. No place I’d rather be forreal.
Visual Prophet: I always knew you were one I could count on. Believe me when I tell you I’m just as happy to have you back where you belong.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Wasting NO time either with making a big statement, either. Just how we like to see it! That’s the same attitude we need in a member, you’re the perfect fit, Serena!
Visual Prophet: My Shea Butter Baby is back!
Serena Bennett: And here to stay, cuz. Joining you with y’all was a complete no brainer. These folks should have been seen this coming for a mile away. Viz has been subtly warning y’all all year anyways. Context clues people. Yeah I’ve been away for some time and made a few stops here and there but I’m back where I belong and that is where I made my name known as a worldwide superstar. I’m back to correct the course of history and to put all of these girls in their place who couldn’t keep my name out of their mouth while I was gone. Doing jumping jacks and talking shit knowing it couldn’t be responded to but was quiet as a church mouth when I was actually around, funny how that works huh. Yet y’all tried to use my absence to fuel and justify the insecurity, jealousy and resentment you had for me from the very beginning. I’m talking the Specialists Chamber in 2018, these girls knew I was coming and they couldn’t stand it, but what they didn’t know was just how soon that would happen and it ate at them every time I would go onto accomplish something. So of course instead of giving me my props they would rather look for excuses to make or come up with conspiracy theories of me being a management favorite just because I got hired through a FOX initiative, when in reality they put me in a match as a PUNISHMENT, but y’all always seem to forget that part. So of course, once things happen to lead to my departure these same girls come out of the woodworks and try to dunk on me. They try to criticize me for what I did post-EAW, but these are the same girls who have been doing their own dirt behind the scenes and hiding their hands. One thing about the truth though, it always comes to light.
Serena Bennett: This is where I can relate to you, Astraea, and I’m not even lying when I say that.
Astraea Jordan: 🤨You, relate to me? In what way? With all due respect, Serena, while I can recognize what it is you’ve accomplished ever since your arrival in EAW, you and I are on two totally different levels when it comes to influence. I walked, clawed, dug, fought my way through the trenches just so you could run along, it was always smooth sailing for you.
Serena Bennett: Girl, bye, smooth sailing? In what universe? Despite the fact that you and I were at odds at some point, we had a very similar experience. You and I were both at one point the only prominent Black women in the division for quite some time, in a division that was filled to the brim with folks who hated us for that very reason, even if they didn’t wanna say it to my face or admit it out loud. These girlies had a problem with us from the jump, no matter what we did, no matter what we accomplished, no matter how good we proved ourselves to be year after year, it was always a problem for us to remain in the spotlight according to all them jealous girls. Just ‘cause I talked and carried myself differently from the rest of these heads. But I was always unapologetic about who I was, still, that didn’t stop them from working impossibly and irrationally hard to discredit all that I was able to accomplish.
Astraea Jordan: Am I supposed to hug you now and say “omg you really are just like me fr”?! Get real. You were given a clear path to actually accomplish the things I was essentially railroaded from being able to reach. So no, our situations are different.
-She asks why is it that the two main girls who had been name dropped in absence were Astraea and Serena? Out of all of the girls who have had a hype machine or made it to the mountain top or occupied a spot that a jealous bitch felt they deserved more, why have the two main examples constantly gone back to the black women? Not Tyler Wolfe who got a specialists title reign and FPV main event two months into her career and left in shame a year later because she didn’t think she was given enough, not Felix Hartley who was advertised as being on the level of a Viz or a SOSA as a new breed talent and then fucked off the moment she lost the title, not Sarah Price who was advertised as the chosen one before her attitude got her fired and Serena had to take her place in war games, not Raven Roberts who actually won the world title and had things of hers shoved down our throats like cringeworthy weddings and corny white feminist empowerment stables just for her to have a mental breakdown after PFP 13 and never being the same before finally disappea forever, not Darcy who is actually the one who cashed in on Serena, who shortly after losing the title disappeared forever.
Serena Bennett: I mean, think about it for a second, Astraea. Why is that we are the two main girls whose names have been constantly getting dropped while we were gone? Out of all of the other girls who have had a hype machine behind them or were made out to be big deals after reaching the top of the mountain, why were we the ones that people loved to have in their mouths constantly? Let’s be real for a moment. People wanted to say how our absences were a disgrace while Tyler Wolfe never gets brought up despite leaving because she felt like she wasn’t given enough. The same Tyler Wolfe who, mind you, had that Specialists Championship reign and main evented an FPV two months into her career. People barely talk about Felix Hartley who was being advertised as being on the level of Viz and SOSA as a new breed talent but then packed her fake Gucci bags up the moment she lost her title. Sarah Price? Little Miss Chosen One? Her head got so big that her attitude got herself fired while being the literal poster child of a FPV? Not to mention I had to be the one to step up and take her place in War Games. Oh, and how about Raven Roberts? THE former world champion? The same trick that forced us to sit through those cringeworthy ass weddings and had that corny white feminist empowerment stable shoved down our throats only for her to have a mental breakdown after Pain for Pride 13 and was never the same before she finally screwed off for good? Or Darcy, the same chick who actually was the one who cashed in on me only to pull a Felix and disappear right after her title reign came to an end. All of the smoke could have gone to those women, but nah. Instead, WE were singled out time and time again. All of these damning situations vary in severity, but the common denominator is this: privileged little white girls burning bridges, quitting after facing adversity, and getting themselves fired. These are all things that apparently we have been accused of, and yet we are the only ones talked about while they got a pass. Really, their situations are far more disgraceful than our departures, but those girls never got the same kind of smoke we got, Astraea. We both know why.
Astraea Jordan: When you put it that way, you do make a good point. Truthfully, I forgot about some of them. But you know what? You’re right, Serena. It’s like I said when I first came back, a lot of girls kept my name in their mouth when I was gone and tried to paint certain pictures of me. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t see the same thing happen for you. The others? Not so much.
Serena Bennett: Exactly. They targeted us. And like I said, we had our issues. We had a lot of beef. However, that’s all in the past, and while I can be a bit petty if I really wanted to be, I’m not gonna stand here and ignore everything that you had to deal with, Astraea. We were both ridiculed and people wanted to drag our names through the mud. So, it was really easy for me to put everything behind us and link up with you. What we’re fighting for is a lot more important than whatever issues we had going on at the time.
-Astraea is warming up to what she’s saying and Serena’s like so if Astraea follows her lead ( :troll: ) she will take her to the promise land and help her reach the potential she’s shown since she was a rookie and finally breakout into the star people thought she could be, seeing as how serena already knows what it takes to reach the mountaintop as a former eoty and two time world champ and promoer of the year and allat jazz.
Astraea Jordan: You know what, Serena? I never thought I would say this, but I actually agree with you. We’ve been through a lot. People really wanted to discredit not only our accomplishments, but the genuine love we have for this place. We’ve been through some hardships, but we’re human and we go through shit. What’s most important is any time we fall down, we get back up and become stronger for it and go even harder. If that wasn’t the case, we wouldn’t even be standing here right now. I never would’ve came back, and neither would you.
Serena Bennett: Exactly! So, if you wanna follow my lead, I can take you to the promise land and help you reach the potential you’ve shown since you were a rookie, I can help you level up. After all, I am a former Elitist of the Year and a two-time world champion. There’s a lot you can learn from me.
(Astraea’s demeanor suddenly changes as she seems to be taken aback by the mere suggestion of needing to follow behind Serena or learn anything from her, considering Astraea actually was in EAW before Serena.)
Astraea Jordan: Now, Serena–
Visual Prophet: AHEM, but yeah uhh– there is a reason why I never shamed you for your choices, Serena. Truthfully, your departure gave me more leverage than ever before. This company knew they couldn’t afford to let the both of us bounce, so they had to do what they could to make sure I stayed. They gave me the biggest contract this company has ever seen. That’s the kind of power I hold. So, if people have any issues with you, then they’ve got a problem with the entirety of Soul Food Sundays.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Ah, I couldn’t have said it better myself, my brother! These agents of aggravation work tirelessly to put us down and make us feel worthless, but they can never destroy the esteem of us powerful and blessed black people! We are mighty, we are resilient, and most importantly, we are everything that they secretly wish they could be! They hate us because they ain’t us, and they never will be!
Serena Bennett: These are the facts my beloved brother! But let’s talk more facts shall we? There’s been a lot of rocks thrown from glass houses and a lot of revisionist history being thrown my way like I ain’t that bitch. Like I didn’t carry this women’s division on my back, like I didn’t elevate this shit. All these attempts to erase all I did to bring women’s wrestling to new heights in EAW and that’s what I get in return. During my absence I saw all of these women benefitted from the ground work I put in. I saw Ms. Extreme get softball thrown the easiest opponents in history just to make it long enough to surpass my record. I saw Andrea versus Kassidy at PFP get billed as a match featuring two of the greatest and most successful women of this generation and it made me sick to my stomach. The white washing and Serena erasure is real, but ima remind you folks. Lettuce not forget that when Andrea was stinking it up on Empire, I was the one who would always come and pick up the pieces and show her up time and time again, leaving her as an afterthought. Lettuce not forget that it was MY success that drove Kassidy so mad to the point where she started developing a personality disorder and had to tap into something she never knew existed within her before our match at Operation Doomsday. But even in defeat it was ME who came out of it stronger and on top because the following year it was ME who won Elitist of the Year over Kassidy, establishing herself as the best. And let’s be honest here, if I would’ve never left in 2021 it would’ve been more of the same. So as far as I’m concerned, all of Kassidys trophies and accomplishments pretty much have an asterisk next to them because she would’ve never won any of that over the girl she’s spent the majority of her career feeling insecure about🤷🏽♀️.
(Serena’s tone and demeanor shifts as she looks directly into the camera and puts the microphone back to her mouth before she begins speaking again, as she is about to send a direct message.)
Serena Bennett: So Kassidy Heart, I know you’re somewhere watching face like your closet-stan ass always does. Listen to me and listen close. If you’re feeling a way about what I did to Andrea back on Showdown, ruining your little redemption arc nobody cares about… do something about it. Think about it though, if I did THAT to Andrea who for the most part basically kept her mouth shut about me when I was gone. Imagine what I’m going to do to your motormouth ass who couldn’t stop talking about me… and I won’t even need my new team to help me do it. This one is personal. I couldn’t change the prejudice ways that has been indoctrinated in the very fabric of this company so I went elsewhere and tried to change the whole industry but unfortunately it was more of the same everywhere else I went as well, hell, even worse than here. One thing I’ve learned is that a lot of you people are beyond changing or saving and quite frankly, you don’t deserve it. So instead of that, I’m going to just get rid of each and every one of you one by one and it starts with you Kassidy. You made your bed, now be prepared to lay in it.
Visual Prophet: Enough said. Hit our music.
-Just when they think they’re wrapping things up the ice aces come out and confront them for what happened last week and they say that they have unfinished business between one another, have them go back and forth for a bit I don’t have any particular dialogue to summarize :troll: but just make sure it ends with them agreeing to a 3 on 3 match at Voltages rise of the resistance supershow.
(Soul Food Sunday are grinning as they’re about to exit the ring. However, as soon as they get close to the ropes, ‘Pinky! Pinky!’ by The Idol Formerly Known as LADYBABY plays throughout the arena. The Ice Aces step out, and they don’t look at all pleased.)
Stew-O: And here come the Ice Aces! There’s no doubt that they’re looking to confront Soul Food Sunday directly after everything that transpired last week.
Jake Mercer: You can really see just how much the Ice Aces are fuming right now as they make their way to the ring. I wouldn’t be surprised if things turn really ugly really fast!
(Soul Food Sunday move back as the Ice Aces step inside the ring. The two teams stare at each other for a moment. Eventually, Usagi signals for some mics and all three are given them. Serena raises a brow before laughing.)
Serena Bennett: Aww, look at y’all! Thinking you’re so tough and coming out here.
Usagi Senshi: Shut up, Serena. If you guys had left Ayu alone then none of this would’ve happened.
(Serena rolls her eyes. Astraea steps up, getting closer to Usagi.)
Astraea Jordan: Girl, are you dumb or something? Your chick wanted to get herself involved. She had no business grabbing my arm like that.
(Astraea then turns her attention over to Ayu.)
Astraea Jordan: If you were feeling froggy like that, then you could’ve stepped up and be in the match in the first place. Viz and I would’ve whopped all three of you the same.
Ayu Megumi: Really, Astraea? Is that what you think?
Astraea Jordan: It ain’t what I think, it’s what I know. Like I said, you were better off just looking cute at ringside and watch us beat your friend and girl up. But you wanted to put your hand on me when I was getting Usagi and then the three of you wanted to look at us with some surprised pikachu faces? Come on. Y’all can be smarter than that.
ARIA: Respectfully, Astraea, you shouldn’t be talking to anyone about being smarter when you were the SAME ONE calling me Asian.
Astraea Jordan: Wow, you’re really still hung up on that?
ARIA: Well, yeah? You made yourself look like an idiot. Just like how you are now.
(Astraea looks ready to step up to ARIA and swing, but Visual Prophet puts his arm out in front of him. He shakes his head and chuckle.)
Visual Prophet: It’s fine. We make mistakes once in a while – the keyword there being ‘once’. You talk about people looking like idiots when the three of you continue to fail over and over again. After all, ARIA, you lost to Charlie two weeks ago. Once again, whether together or by themselves, the Ice Aces are destined to fail whenever an opportunity falls in their lap.
ARIA: Here we go again. News flash, Viz: you lost to Charlie as well! You really can’t try to pin that on me when you’ve failed against him yourself. Also, how can you talk about us failing opportunities when just a few weeks ago Ayu won that fatal-four-way to get a shot at the Specialists Championship? It was easily one of the most competitive matches she’s had in her career, and she came out on top.
(ARIA and Ayu look at each other and exchange smiles.)
Ayu Megumi: Yes, we have failed at times, but we always get right back up. We don’t kick ourselves and cry about not getting the things we want. We always do our best to rebound from our losses, and at least for me, I get to rectify my mistakes by getting a chance to become a single’s champion. Unlike some Elitists of the past, we don’t tuck our tails between our legs and run away. If that were the case, we wouldn’t be standing here right now.
(Ayu smirks, eyeing down Astraea.)
Ayu Megumi: Doesn’t that sound familiar?
Astraea Jordan: Uh-huh. I guess it does. Almost as familiar as you promising to finally win a title match only to lose!
(Soul Food Sunday laugh. However, the Ice Aces remain standing there, not deterred in the slightest.)
Usagi Senshi: See, that’s what I was talking about with you. All you guys do is crack jokes and try to belittle people, never seeing anyone as a threat! It’s so easy to cut others down. In fact, weren’t you guys just out here minutes ago accusing other Elitists of trying to do that to you? You can’t play the victims while trying to be the bullies at the same time.
Serena Bennett: Giiiiirrrrl, just shut up already, alright? We ain’t out here trying to be bullies or play any victims with your goofy five-year-old sounding ass. Us acknowledging the blatant disrespect and discrimination we’ve legitmately had to endure as Elitists here doesn’t make us victims. We’re just speaking the truth!
Usagi Senshi: The truth? Well, how’s this for the truth: the three of you are some of the most thin-skinned, cowardly people here in EAW.
Serena Bennett: Us? Thin-skinned and cowardly? Now you’re just talking to talk. Listen, if the three of you want smoke with us, then just say that. We’ll gladly beat y’all and show everyone that the Ice Aces can’t compare to us… even though it wouldn’t be all that hard to do.
(ARIA, Ayu and Usagi exchange glances at one another. They nod, and Usagi is the one to speak up.)
Usagi Senshi: Fine then. Let’s have a match. The three of us against the three of you at Rise of the Resistance.
(The Ice Aces look confident as the fans cheer. Soul Food Sunday smirk at each other before looking at their foes.)
Visual Prophet: Very well. You’re on. But just remember that the three of you brought this onto yourselves.
(Soul Food Sunday get out of the ring and make their way up the ramp. The fans continue to cheer, excited about the prospect of these two teams getting their hands on each other.)
Jake Mercer: Ha! Soul Food Sunday are definitely going to have their way with the Ice Aces next week. I can’t wait to see them get back at them!
Flannery McCoy: You mean the Ice Aces get back at them?
Jake Mercer: What? Were we not commentating for the same match?! The Ice Aces attacked Viz and Astraea–
Flannery McCoy: – after Astraea punched Ayu.
Stew-O: Regardless of the circumstances, these two teams have had a lot of bad blood brewing between them. With the challenge being made and accepted, it looks like the Ice Aces will be facing off against Soul Food Sunday at Voltage’s Rise of the Resistance.
Jake Mercer: Oh man. The good thing to come out of this is that we get to see Serena Bennett compete inside of an EAW ring again! She’s stepping on toes and already making people mad. It’s as if she never left!
(Dynasty fades away to a commercial break)
(Early Halloween costume commercial airs starring Chris Elite dressed up as Iron Man)
(A commercial is shown advertising Showdown’s Dead Men Tell No Tales Supershow, featuring Showdown’s Territorial Invasion Anarchy in The Arena team in Adam Lucas, Xander Payne, and Jake Smith.)
(The numbers 2/17/18 with the letter “I” mysteriously flash across the screen before Dynasty comes back on air.)
(As Dynasty fades back to the ring, Stephie Love is seen standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in her hand.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for…ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(‘Sweet Caroline’’ by Neil Diamond would blast through the arena, to a huge crowd from everyone in attendance, as Caroline would come up out of the Titan-Tron’s entrance, all smiles here tonight as she waves to the crowd of adoring fans, pointing to some who had brung signs with her face on it, before making her way to the ring, wasting little time sliding under the bottom rope as she stood in the middle of the ring, soaking up the cheers from the EAW Universe once more, before backing up into her corner, still full of glee as she waited readily for her opponent to make their entrance)
Stephie Love: Introducing First… From Paducah, Kentucky… Weighing in at 109 Pounds… “SWEEEEETTT” CARROOOLINEEEEEE!!!
Stew-O: And we’re back on Dynasty with the first match of the night as we see Caroline making her way to the ring as she is primed and ready to go against Milli Banks, someone who quite frankly – I don’t even think she wanted to be here to fight! :lupe: We know the story here, the slight quarrels and miscommunications between the two leading them to a halt which stops at Poor Unfortunate Souls here tonight in a one-on-one match and as much as Caroline wanted to call the peace option, she is clearly pumped and ready here tonight to fight off Milli Banks who laid down the challenge to her!
Flannery McCoy: Great summary Stew, and I mean honestly; I feel like this match is as clean-cut as it gets! Right down the middle, we both know each of these two woman are coming here with the same amount of preparation as the other, but we are yet to find out who exactly is eager to win this more which I believe will be the deciding factor of this match-up; but if Milli Banks doesn’t match the energy Caroline is putting out? She might be in trouble.
( As ‘Sweet Caroline’ faded out, ‘Changed it’ by Nicki Minaj would blast through the arena, to a huge negative reaction from everyone in attendance, as Milli Banks makes her way to the ring with the usual looks of swagger brimming throughout her demeanor and confidence leaking from her, Milli embracing all the hate that she was receiving from the fans in attendance as she would enter the ring, backing up into her corner.)
Stephie Love: Introducing First… Brooklyn, New York… Weighing in at 142 Pounds… She is ‘The Brooklyn Bankroller’… MILLLIIIIII BANKSSSSSS!!
Jake Mercer: And the woman who laid down the gauntlet in the first place, Milli Banks making a triumphant walk down to the ring as she stares down Caroline in the eyes – and the tension, the anger she has for Caroline shows and the determination she has is clear to embarrass her tonight at Poor Unfortunate Souls on the big stage; If Caroline slips up and let’s Milli Banks call her shot, I fear it’s light out for EAW’s Resident Cheerleader Alumni. :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: I have to agree with you here Jake, all it takes is one moment of Caroline slipping up and Milli Banks is surely going to capitalize, although it’s the same thing on the opposite side of the pond, we know Milli’s tendencies of taunting in the middle of the match – and something like that can truly ruin her chances of coming out of this bout on top, so if Milli Banks can control herself and get through this match with a focused mindset? Is all to be decided yet.
( DING! DING! DING! )
Stew-O: And we’re off in this match as both competitors exit their corners, with Caroline beginning to circle the ring along with Milli Banks as they are both about to meet in the middle – but Milli backs out? Just as the two were going to clash Milli Banks steps back away from her and now we see the taunting early from Milli as she taunts Caroline very early in the match up to set the level of mind games early!
(off-mic) Milli Banks: You ain’t NOTHING.
Flannery McCoy: :yikes: I can tell that this is about to get real ugly, REAL fast; and it appears Caroline might’ve taken the bait as the clear look on her face shows she wasn’t very appeased by Milli’s taunting, with Caroline now running at Milli Banks, not letting up anytime for her to regroup after the taunt – BUT MILLI COUNTERS EARLY, A DROP TOE HOLD SENDING CAROLINE STRAIGHT INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLE!! And like a bullfighter with her red flag, Milli Banks completely steers Caroline with her distraction right into the turnbuckle, and you can see Milli Banks celebrating early again after just catching Caroline off guard as she goes to the middle of the ring and, strutting and laughing as she points at Caroline who is holding her nose in pain – though not out just yet as Milli Banks stops her taunting slightly earlier than her last one as she focuses back in on Caroline who’s stuck in a seated position in the corner, running forward to hit a WICKED Running Senton that lands picture perfect onto Caroline and now the momentum is fully in Milli Banks’s favor!
Jake Mercer: Yeah, if there were any doubts about how Milli Banks was coming into this match? They are instantly disproven and sent to the slaughter because Milli Banks is coming out hot in these opening moments and knowing her it isn’t going to slow down from here and she is ready to take Caroline down to the ground as Milli Banks drags Caroline out the corner into the center of the ring, moving her forward by her legs as she finally lets her go, pushing forward to the turnbuckle as she starts to scale them; back turned to Caroline as she gets to the top, looking down, BEFORE JUMPING OUT OF THE AIR TOWARDS CAROLINE – BUT CAROLINE ROLLS OUT THE WAY JUST IN TIME, AND MILLI BANKS CRASH AND BURNS TO THE GROUND – NO! MILLI BANKS LANDS ON HER LEGS AND FLIPS INTO THE ROPES, REBOUNDING OFF TOWARDS CAROLINE WHO’S GETTING UP TO HER FEET RATHER QUICKLY OFF THE DODGE AND SEND HER RIGHT INTO A LEAPING STUNNER OFF OF THE FLIP!!! AND THE COVER!!!!
OONNNEEEEEE!!!!!
TWWO-
Stew-O: AND THE KICKOUT FROM CAROLINE JUST AT TWO, AND MILLI BANKS IS SHOWING THE WORLD WHAT SHE HAS RIGHT NOW AS SHE SITS UP, NOT A SHRED OF ANNOYANCE IN HER FACE FROM THE KICKOUT, LOOK AT HER GO! These early moments have been all Milli Banks as she taunts Caroline yet again, gesturing herself wiping her hands, seemingly laughing to herself as the referee quickly checks on Caroline before the match proceeds before letting the two fight again as Milli Banks gets down to a knee, grabbing Caroline’s neck before locking in a chokehold – and if she can add enough pressure on that hold Caroline might be out for good as she is gasping for air, Milli Banks just toying with her as the crowd tries to will on Caroline to the ropes; Caroline barely going towards them as she tries to reach her leg out to the bottom rope to no avail as Milli Banks scoots her away, dragging her forward to the middle of the ring as she tightens that hold more!!! And the crowd here in the arena is chanting Caroline on, trying to get her to move over to the ropes as she starts her journey again, slowly using her feet to drag herself and the weight of Milli Banks to the ropes, and JUST as she’s about to touch it here comes Milli Banks, dragging her back to the center of the ring – OH BUT CAROLINE USES MILLI’S MOMENTUM AGAINST HER, BARELY GETTING BOTH OF HER SHOULDERS DOWN BY ARCHING HER LEGS AND THE COVER!!!
OONNEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWOOOOO!!!
THHREEE-
Jake Mercer: And Milli keeps the hold on just a TINY bit longer before releasing Caroline who is just gasping for air at this point, as Milli Banks slowly gets up; taking her sweet time as she hasn’t even broken a sweat yet in this match thus far and if this match keeps going like this? No matter how many times Caroline survives something’s going to have to give as Milli stands directly over the body of Caroline as the referee tries checking on her, raising her arms out to her sides as she soaks in her glory- otherwise known as the hate coming out from the EAW Arena as she gestures her feet, wiping against the side of Caroline; cackling to herself before backing up, heading towards the corner as she takes her sweet time getting up to the top rope in front of where Caroline was lying, and by the looks of it I think she’s setting up for something big as she extends her body to a vertical position, looking down at Caroline one last time before jumping off!!! – ‘MILLI-ON AIR’!!! THE CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS CONNECTS – NO!!! CAROLINE NAVIGATES HER WAY AND THIS TIME MILLI DOESN’T RECOVER AS EASY AS SHE FACE PLANTS ONTO THE MAT RIGHT IN FRONT OF CAROLINE WHO LEANS ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE, REALIZING THE CHANCE SHE HAS AS MIDDLE GETS ONTO HER HANDS AND KNEES – AND CAROLINE RUNS FORWARD TO HIT HER SIGNATURE SHOOTING STAR KNEE DROP RIGHT ONTO THE BACK OF MILLI’S HEAD, ‘STARLIGHT, STARBRIGHT’!!! INTO THE COVER!!!
OONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTWWOOOOOOO!!!
THHREEEEEEEE-
Flannery McCoy: SO CLOSE! The first layer of Caroline’s offense and it was the best thing she could’ve done here as she nearly keeps Milli Banks down for three, a great turn of events for her here as Milli Banks just SLIGHTLY manages to kick out but not to disregard the amount of pain she’s in as she hasn’t managed to move from the mat, Caroline holding her throat in a acknowledgment to the offense Milli Banks put in, but it’s clear she’s willing to put that all behind her to take this win as she moves to Milli Banks who’s laying down flat on the ground, lifting her up to her feet, and getting ahold of her lower core before sending her up and into the air with a Northern Lights Suplex! Though not letting go just yet as she rolled over with Milli Banks’s body in hand, showcasing her strength once more as she slowly lifts Milli and her own body up again for yet another Northern Lights Suplex! And to seal the deal it seems and set down Milli for good; with one final effort Caroline yearns for Milli’s weight to lift off the ground, slowly getting her up as she manages to barely get her up off the ground for one FINAL NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!!! Caroline absolutely showing a great feat of strength and slamming Milli Banks down in the process, with no safety for her own body though as she clearly was taken aback with how much energy she had to use for those suplexes she had to do whilst holding Milli’s body weight the entire time, Caroline taking a second to breath as Milli Banks is seemingly just laying still on the ground with no signs of movement – Caroline finishing up her breather, as she got up; seeing Milli’s position in the middle of the ring as those gears in her head are starting to work – Caroline getting a move on as she starts to run the ropes, rebounding off each of them as she flips over the body of Milli Banks on each go, showcasing the skills she learned while cheerleading as she contninues gaining momentum, now completely flipping rather than running as Milli Banks isn’t moving an inch as Caroline is getting faster and faster with her acrobatics, running the ropes a few more times before letting her feet hit the middle ropes rather than the floor, bending them down to the apron before SPRINGING OFF, GETTING A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF AIR AS SHE’S PRACTICALLY FLYING IN THE SKY, MANAGING TO FLIP IN THE AIR – AND THE ‘CUPCAKE SPLASH’!!! THE 450 SPLASH CONNECTS AND CAROLINE BOUNCES OFF MILLI BANKS FROM THE SHEER IMPACT AS SHE FALLS TO THE CORNER, BEFORE SCAMPERING BACK TO THE BODY OF MILLI BANKS FOR THE COVER!!!! :lupe:
OONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTWWOOOOOOO!!!
THHREEEEEEEE!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT HOW?!? HOW IN THE WORLD DID MILLI BANKS JUST KICK OUT OF THAT – AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, HOW DID CAROLINE JUST DO THAT? THE AMOUNT OF SKILL THAT TAKES IS UNHEARD OF!!! And the shock is showing on Caroline’s face that Milli Banks managed to kick out as Milli rolls to the ring apron, clutching at her stomach just as she was about to try and capitalize as Caroline is surely wondering what does she have to do to put away Milli Banks as Milli Banks continue to lay on the apron, the referee slipping over the middle rope to check on her as Caroline just watches on, wondering what she has to do as she slowly grabs Milli Banks by her leg, pulling her back into the ring by her feet as Caroline takes a moment to grasp a plan; clearly unsure how to go about this as Caroline slowly went towards the ropes; scaling up as she still kept herself aiming on Milli Banks, waiting for her to get up as slowly Milli Banks got to her feet; Caroline honing in before jumping off the ropes, possibly looking for her finishing maneuver; the ‘Go! Fight! Win!’ to seal the deal here as she leaps off the ropes, aiming for that Dragonrana as she hooks the head – BUT MILLI STAYS UP!! WITH CAROLINE NOT BEING ABLE TO BRING HER DOWN MILLI BANKS HOOKS BOTH OF CAROLINE’S LEGS OVER HER SHOULDERS, AND MOVED HER LEGS OVER CAROLINE’S HANDS LEAVING HER COMPLETELY VULNERABLE BEFORE SENDING HER FACE FIRST INTO THE MAT!!!
Flannery McCoy: And now Milli Banks has her moment to shine, she needs to capitalize her as she doesn’t go for the cover, knowing Caroline just has a little more left in the tank as Milli pulls Caroline up to her feet, both of these two woman on their feet as Caroline leans her body weight onto Milli Banks, but Milli pushes her off; lighting her up with strikes, body shots, head shots, all blazing up Caroline completely and she can do nothing but take the offense as Milil Banks polishes her up, before finishing up the flurry of offense with a straight SLAP to the face of Caroline!!! The sheer power of that slap sending Caroline back into the ropes to rebound into Milil Banks, who stands right ahead of her, hooking around the head of Caroline just as they collide as she springs off the mat, going into the air as she hovers over her head before crashing down – IT’S THE SALIDA DEL SOL, MILLI BANKS SENDING CAROLINE TO THE BANK BECAUSE SHE IS ‘BANKRUPT’!!! AND MILLI HOOKS THE LEGS, HOPING FOR THE COVER!!!
OONNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTWWWOOOOOO!!!!
THHREEEEEEEE!!!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOU WINNER…. MILLLIIII BANKSSSSS!!!
Flannery McCoy: And even with her taunting, even with the setbacks, even with the massive offensive moves from Caroline; Milli Banks barely survives at the very end with a massive Salida Del Sol to send Caroline packing, and what a match that was! Truly both woman have had huge takeaways from this moment and while Caroline lost, a great showing has come from her!
Stew-O: I couldn’t agree with you more Flannery, but one things for sure is Milli Banks called her shot, took it, and made it worth it as she defeats Caroline here tonight in clean fashion; a message to the woman in the Dynasty Division and an ode to her skill in this business to anyone who doubted her – truly great stuff here tonight!
(The final shot shows Milli with her arm held high and a distraught Caroline being attended to by medical staff in the corner as Dynasty cuts to a Beats Commercial, showcasing Hunnid Honcho.)
(Friday Night Dynasty, Poor Unfortunate Souls, returns to the backstage area of the Nikos Galis Hall. There, Kirk Redwood, Solomon Stane; The Off Brand Amphetamines would stand in front of the camera, both having a look of irritation and disdain on their face as the crowd gave a negative reaction to the duo as this backstage segment for the duo began.)
Solomon Stane: A few weeks ago, we were the Unified Tag Team Champions of EAW, we were on an incline path to the Hall of Fame with what was meant to be the most HISTORIC – the GREATEST Unified Tag Team Championship reign of all time, and then all of a sudden; a couple of missteps and mistakes and we stand here today not only as the former EAW Tag Team Champions, but on one of the worst possible jumpstarts possible for our run here in Season 16, coming out of every match with another negative connotation being added to our name. Obviously, neither me nor Kirk are on Cloud Nine about this right now; I mean it’s clear as day that nobody would be jumping for joy seeing that everything they have been trying to build has started to crumble around them, so the looming question of how our morals is? Shouldn’t be a question at all, we are irate. We are annoyed, and we are sick of how things are looking for the future, I mean for everyone else this could be considered enough to tip any Elitist over the edge; send them packing for good and leave space for newcomers to take their spot in hopes of doing better, but that right there? That’s where we differ from just being ‘any other’ Elitist. Kirk Redwood? Solomon Stane? We don’t hit the road when it gets tough, we don’t complain and then run at the first chance, just because we don’t have our way – No, we are better than that; WAY better than that. Me and Kirk have been through so much in our wrestling careers that taking setbacks and having to refocus is like second nature to us, while it’s unfortunate, it’s a skill required for situations like these because it revitalizes us for the bounceback we are inevitably destined to have from where we are currently. We must remember that to the world – we weren’t meant to be Unified Tag Team Champions in the first place, we were meant to be well out of this company MONTHS ago, but we beat the odds then, and looking at how things are currently? The situation is even better to beat the odds now. You’re looking at two vets of the game, two Elitists who know EXACTLY what to do in order to get back into that Main Event Caliber spot; something other Elitists don’t know how to do as they’d rather lie to themselves thinking everything’s okay just to leave the company the next week after, judging us to that standard is pathetic and ludicrous.
Kirk Redwood: Solomon is right – I mean who do you think we are? Do you know what we’ve done? A couple of losses to our name aren’t going to magically get rid of us as much as that might be what the other tag teams here in EAW might want because we are just that ELITE. They know that it only gets up from here for the Off Brand Amphetamines, and with that, they are scared to see what we will become from this, and we are so eager to see the monsters that arise from this ashes. We’ll say this, whoever comes next at either of us? You better be religious and if not you better start praying because it’s about to get real ugly for you! We’ll be ten times stronger than what we are and we’ll vindicate our inner demons from the slump we are in now and paint you out as victims. Life might not be great now, but we’ll be laughing our way to the bank to pick up our GOLD after we make the climb back, don’t rule us out; because that’ll get you nowhere.
( Kirk says as a smirk grows slightly on his face as the duo seems done with their segment, the two staring at the camera before going to turn around and leave the scene, but just as they were about to move on.)
???: That’s what I like to see.
(The two turn around to see none other than Madison Kaline who was sitting back watching their speech to the camera as she applauds them on their passion as the camera pans out to show all three in the full shot.)
Madison Kaline: I mean the determination, the passion, the promise of becoming something greater than what you are currently… It’s empowering. This is what I like to see, this is what I WANT to see. I can see the headlines now, ‘Off Brand Amphetamines’ become TWO-time Unified Tag Team Champions only months, maybe WEEKS after this historic message – bravo. I look forward to that happening, but I want to be a part of the renewal process. Territorial Invasion, I get to pick the team for Dynasty as I am sure you’re aware and when I look into both of your eyes I can tell that you two have a flame that this team needs to make a blaze; you two possess the exact motives that’d help lead us to victory and I simply can’t stand here and deny Dynasty such an edge to win this – And with that being said, let’s cut to the chase, shall we? I told the world that I was looking for the best possible contenders to join this team I’m making, people that would be irregular to what you would normally expect, and right now? Kirk Redwood, Solomon Stane, both of you; how would you feel representing this brand at Territorial Invasion? Help me prove the world wrong about you two. I scratch your back you scratch mine, I’ll give you the platform – and you’ll give me the credit of having the foresight of knowing choosing you two who would be the most unlikely of picks would be quite possible MVPs come Territorial Invasion.
(Madison asked as the two looked at each other with a raised eyebrow, looks that were stone cold with no emotion pouring out as they silently debated the offer before the two slowly grew a large grin on their face as they turned back to Madison Kaline who mimicked their grin.)
Kirk Redwood: With an opportunity like this, who would we be to simply decline it? You’re damn right, we are the spark that’ll combust Showdown and Voltage into smithereens – and thinking about it… This is the PERFECT way to get us back into the Main Scene of things, this will be the defining moment to get us back to that Top Tier Level that we know we are on.
Solomon Stane: To simplify that, the answer is yes; The Off Brand Amphetamines will reside with Team Dynasty and mop the floor with anyone Showdown or Voltage stacks against us; trust me, you just made the best possible decision you could’ve.
Madison Kaline: Good, then I’ll see you later boys – keep in touch.
(Madison said with that same grin still left on her face as she turned around and walked off, leaving Soloman and Kirk to their own thoughts at that moment, looking very relieved and excited with this new direction as the show panned elsewhere.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for… ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!! :blessed:
(‘A Stranger I Remain’ by Free Dominguez begins to play throughout the arena, as a huge reaction of nothing but negative boos is given to Amir Yusuf, who breathes in the hate as he walks through the curtain and onto the stage. He is looking confident about the match as he makes his way down to the ramp, and into the ring before going to his corner.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… residing in Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 182 pounds… The ‘Irreplaceable’… AMIR YUSUF!!!!!
Stew-O: Ever since coming back to Dynasty in the season 16 draft, Amir Yusuf has been on nothing short of a tear throughout the roster, and just last week proved that when he beat a former Hall Of Famer in Madison Kaline. But he has been having problems with the man he is facing tonight, and it seems that it will be settled here at Poor Unfortunate Souls!
Flannery McCoy: Yep! Jay Jerry Johnson has been nothing more than a thorn in Amir’s side, and now that is all going to be settled here tonight when the two face off in a match that was going to happen at Road To Redemption of last year, but now it is finally taking place here at Poor Unfortunate Souls.
(‘A Stranger I Remain’ would fade out, as it would be replaced by ‘Antihero’ by LISA, a mixed reaction of cheers and boos being given to Jay Jerry Johnson as he walks through the curtain and onto the stage with a smile on his face. He makes his way down to the ramp, and into the ring, getting up in Amir’s face before backing into his corner, ready for action.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Yokohama, Japan… weighing in at 206 pounds… he is The “Charismatic Artist’, TRIPLE J… JAY! JERRY! JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: On the topic of what Flannery was saying, Jay Jerry Johnson was traded to Friday Night Dynasty in a trade that involved Ryan Wilson going over to Showdown, and from the very moment he stepped onto Dynasty, he and Amir Yusuf have been in a heated rivalry that will come to an end in this match here tonight.
Flannery McCoy: Jay was offered to join the Brand Warfare team in which he had accepted, so he is now representing Dynasty at Territorial Invasion, and I am sure that he is going to go into this match with something even more to prove than just beating Amir Yusuf, but we will see what happens when the bell rings… RIGHT NOW!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: THIS MATCH HAS JUST BEGUN AND THESE TWO ARE ALREADY BEATING THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER WITH LEFTS AND RIGHTS! Amir Yusuf and Jay Jerry Johnson’s heated rivalry has boiled down to this, and now they are just beating the hell out of each other! Jay is able to get the advantage over Amir, overwhelming him towards the ropes as he grabs Amir, and throws him off the ropes, as Amir rebounds off the other side, but Amir catches Triple J with an armdrag! Both men get up to their feet, and Amir catches JJJ in a side headlock!
Flannery McCoy: But Jay was able to get himself out of it! Jay now grabs a hold of Amir by the waist, and he catches Amir, driving a knee right in his back before pushing him down to his knees, and Jay runs the ropes… and he connects with a clothesline right to the back of the head of Amir! But Amir dodge it, and now Jay is the one on his knees, and Amir connects with a clothesline to the back of the head of his own, and it hits the mark!
Jake Mercer: And now Amir Yusuf takes another run for the ropes, but Triple J is able to make it back up to his feet, and he catches Amir with a hip toss, but Amir lands right on his feet! BUT JAY CATCHES AMIR WITH A FOREARM SMASH AND THAT STAGGERS AMIR! Jay now grabs Yusuf by the leg, as Amir holds onto the ropes, but it doesn’t matter as Jay hits a big leg snap right onto Amir, and Amir quickly rolls to the back of the ring. But Jay runs the ropes and catches him with a suicide dive!
Stew-O: This match has been quick paced from the very beginning, and I don’t think that it is going to slow down anytime soon! Jay Jerry Johnson now grabs Amir Yusuf and pulls him back up to his feet, and he throws Amir right into the barricade side first, before catching him with a quick snap vertical suplex on the outside of the ring. Jay quickly grabs Amir and throws him back into the ring, following suit before the referee could start counting, as Jay goes for the first cover in the match! Jay may have it!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Amir Yusuf gets the easy kickout, but it doesn’t matter as Jay quickly transitions before grabbing a hold of Amir’s arm, and he looks to lock in some version of an armbar, but Amir quickly slithers his way out of it! Amir now gets back up to his feet, and he catches Jay with a calf kick! But Jay moves out of the way of it, and Amir falls back down, AND JAY LOOKS TO SOCCER KICK THAT ARM OF AMIR, BUT AMIR QUICKLY MOVES AND BACKS AWAY TOWARDS THE ROPES! Amir saw the danger he was in and just barely got away from it!
Jake Mercer: But Jay Jerry Johnson doesn’t care and he runs the ropes, and he runs right towards Amir… but Amir quickly gets out of the way, before grabbing Jay, and he pulls him down and over into a quick rollup! Amir may have it here, he may steal it!
OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
T-
Stew-O: Triple J quickly gets out of the pin, and they are back up to their feet, but Amir catches Jay with the forearm smash! That staggers Jay, as Amir grabs his arm, and irish whips him into the corner, before running towards him… HELLUVA KICK! BUT JAY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! Jay quickly grabs Amir by the waist, and he connects with a huge german suplex-… but Amir lands on his feet, and catches Jay with a dropkick to the back of the head! Jay has no clue where he is from that.
Flannery McCoy: Amir takes another run for the ropes, but Jay quickly moves out of the way, and he throws Amir over the ropes, where Yusuf lands right on the apron! Now it’s Jay who takes a run for the ropes… but Amir holds down the ropes, and Jay falls onto the apron as well! Amir quickly gets back into the ring, before catching Jay with a forearm smash! And another! And now Amir tests his luck again as he rebounds off the ropes, and he runs straight towards Jay… AND HE LEAPS ONTO THE ROPES!
Jake Mercer: CANADIAN DESTROYER! AMIR YUSUF JUST HIT A CANADIAN DESTROYER TO JAY FROM THE INSIDE OF THE RING AND THEY BOTH CRASH DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR BELOW! This match has barely just started, and they are already going crazy! Triple J is completely out of it, and look at Amir! He is struggling to even get back up to his feet, as the referee has no choice but to start a count!

Stew-O: Amir Yusuf is barely able to pull himself back up to his feet, as he grabs a hold of Jay Jerry Johnson, and he throws Jay right into the corner of the announcers table! Jay falls back over, as Amir is barely able to keep his balance, and the referee has to continue a count!

Flannery McCoy: YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?!?!? AMIR YUSUF GOT HIS FUC— FREAKING FINGER ON THE ROPE! THE MATCH IS STILL CONTINUING GODDAMNIT! A FINGER TIP JUST SAVED AMIR YUSUF IN THIS MATCH, AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT WHATSOEVER! Amir Yusuf saved himself in this match, and Jay is TICKED OFF! And now he is beating the living hell out of Amir! He can’t defend himself! Jay is letting out all his anger, and the referee has no choice but to pull Triple J off of Amir as Amir gets checked out!
Jake Mercer: But Jay doesn’t care! He is going right back at Amir-… wait! Amir pulls Jay in, and he goes for a rollup, but rolls through, and Amir quickly gets back up to his feet, but he can barely hold his balance… AND AMIR SLAPS THE TASTE RIGHT OUT OF JAY’S MOUTH! That drops Jay right down to a knee, and Amir is going to take the advantage as he connects with a quick step-up enziguri! Amir is finally getting himself back into this match, and now it is him who is giving the beatdown on Jay with the lefts and rights!
Stew-O: Jay Jerry Johnson is trying his hardest to protect himself from these strikes, but he can’t as Amir just won’t let off on him! Those lefts and rights are connecting with such an impact, and now Amir pulls Jay back up to his feet… and a superkick! And then a german suplex! Jay lands right on his head, but I don’t think that Amir is done there! Jay Jerry Johnson has no clue where he is… but Amir grabs him, and lifts him up… and a kneecap brainbuster! Jay is out of it, but Amir isn’t done!
Flannery McCoy: Amir Yusuf quickly rolls out onto the apron, and he lifts himself up… AND AMIR SPRINGBOARDS, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE SPRINGBOARD 450 SPLASH! IT HIT THE MARK, BUT YOU CAN TELL THAT AMIR YUSUF DAMAGED HIMSELF FROM THAT AS WELL! AMIR PULLS HIMSELF OVER JAY, AND INTO A COVER!

Stew-O: Amir Yusuf gets back up to his feet slowly but surely… and Jay runs straight at him, but Amir moves out of dodge! Amir now grabs Jay by the waist, and they go towards the ropes, and Amir goes for a rollup, but Jay rolls through it- SUPERKICK! NO! Amir ducks the superkick, AND HE GOES FOR ONE OF HIS OWN BUT JAY DUCKS IT THIS TIME! AND AN ENZIGURI! But Amir stays on his feet, and he goes for a standing double foot stomp to the back of Jay’s head, but Jay moves out of the way! Amir-
Flannery McCoy: PRETTY VISITOR-
Jake Mercer: NO! AMIR YUSUF HOLDS HIS STANCE THIS TIME, AND HE PUSHES JAY OFF! Jay lands at the ropes, AND AMIR GOES FOR A HELLUVA KICK! BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON MOVED OUT OF THE WAY! AND A SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX BY JAY! And the suplex propped Amir right back up to his feet, but Jay doesn’t care as he grabs Amir… AND ALT + F4! THE TIGER DRIVER ‘98 FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THIS MATCH-
Stew-O: WAIT NO! AMIR HOLDS ON! AND HE FIGHTS OUT OF IT, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SUPERKICK! JAY LOOKS TO BE OUT OF IT ON HIS FEET, AND AMIR GRABS JAY… AND HE CONNECTS WITH ‘WHEN REALITY HITS’!!! THE ROLLING CUTTER… BUT AMIR DOESN’T GO FOR THE PIN! INSTEAD, AMIR YUSUF QUICKLY TRANSITIONS, AND HE LOCKS JAY JERRY JOHNSON IN WITH TIME TO DIE!!! THE KOJI CLUTCH IS IN, AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON HAS NOWHERE ELSE TO GO! HE CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! THE SCREAMS OF AGONY…
Flannery McCoy: HE TRIED TO HOLD ON, BUT HE CAN’T ANY MORE! JAY HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO TAP, AND THE REFEREE CALLS FOR THE BELL! AMIR HAS WON!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THIS MATCH VIA SUBMISSION… AMIR YUSUF!!!!!!!
(‘A Stranger I Remain’ begins to play throughout the arena once more, a rain of boos pouring down on Amir Yusuf, as he quickly lets go of the submission, getting back up to his and barely being able to hold his balance as the referee would raise his arm in victory.)
Ste-O: Amir Yusuf does it! Wow! These two went out there tonight, and from the get-go tried whatever was possible to put each other through nothing more but hell and they did exactly that! But in the end, it was Amir Yusuf who was able to get Jay Jerry Johnson to tap out with the ‘Time To Die’ Koji Clutch to get the win!
Flannery McCoy: Just to throw this out there… but a fingertip! A fingertip is what saved Amir Yusuf early in this match from losing! Jay Jerry Johnson had that match won earlier, but Amir was able to save himself with a single fingertip! But nonetheless, Amir has won the match here tonight, barely, and that leaves people wondering what exactly is next for him.
(Amir Yusuf would continue to celebrate his victory in the middle of the ring, as the final image is of Jay Jerry Johnson, who is looking disappointed on the outside of the ring from his loss. The camera would then fade from there.)
(Poor Unfortunate Souls once again fades back in to show the backstage area of Nikos Galis Olympic Indoor Hall, with Dynasty Backstage Interviewer Michael Belfort standing by. He has a microphone in his hand as he smiles in front of an EAW backdrop, bringing the microphone up and from there beginning to speak toward the camera.)
Michael Belfort: What a show so far, and congratulations to Amir Yusuf on his win over Jay Jerry Johnson! Even with that and our opener down we still have so much in store for you tonight, firing on all calibers for our first supershow of the Season. Of course, we cannot forget the Specialists Championship match between Serenity Valdez and Diamond Dixon, or Limmy Monaghan versus The Visual Prophet. And especially… the Interwire Championship match with the reigning Champion Andre Walker defending against Joso and Ruler in a triple threat match. Right now I have one of those men standing by ready to answer some questions, so ladies and gentlemen please welcome… the Undisputed World Heavyweight Interwire Champion, Andre Walker.
(The camera pans over to show not just Andre Walker, but Albert Hitchman as well walking into the scene. Andre has the World Heavyweight Championship resting on his shoulder, while Albert holds the Interwire Championship up pridefully toward the camera. After a moment, Michael then continues to speak as he begins to look toward both client and advocate.)
Michael Belfort: Andre, Albert, appreciate both your time.
Albert Hitchman: Make it quick.
Michael Belfort: Well first I want to talk about your match later on tonight in the main event. Andre, as you know, you will be defending the Interwire Championship against Joso and Ruler in the main event. Do you have any thoughts before you walk in?
Andre Walker: Anything that has needed to be said I have already spoken, but nonetheless, I’m sure the message has been received. Joso and Ruler have been trying the entire week to pose an argument as to why they even come close to my stature. But one thing they refuse to understand is the levels that are to this company and business. They might think that this is a relatively in reach matchup, because they’ve been so content facing people at their level that they’ve grown this level of comfortability toward their peers. But for me? I’m punching below the belt even dedicating huge portions of my time toward them. They need to understand not just who I am, but in comparison, who they are. That’s not by any means trying to slight them as an Elitist and henceforth what they’ve done, if anything, I’m just stating the facts. Their definition of ‘standards’ pale in comparison to the true definition, the one that you need to become a true Champion just like I am. And while they might meet their ‘standard’, they certainly don’t reach THE standard. If they don’t understand it now, they certainly will by the end of the night.
Michael Belfort: But certainly there has to be some sort of doubt creeping in. What if Joso or Ruler manage to beat you and win the Interwire Championship from your grasp?
(Albert instantly leans forward and raises an eyebrow, gripping the Interwire Championship closely to his chest.)
Albert Hitchman: I’m sorry, do you know who this is? I know you ask these same questions to everyone, but you and anyone else that has a brain should be able to answer that question. Does Andre Walker have any doubts that Joso and Ruler will beat him? Well my question to you my good sir… is do you know who this is? Do you know who you have the pleasure, and opportunity to interview right now? This is Andre Walker. And if there was any question after everything that he’s done if he’s able to beat two nameless Elementary School children, then clearly there’s something wrong isn’t there?
(Andre holds his hand out and clears his throat before taking Albert’s place.)
Andre Walker: The answer is ‘always’. There is always that sliver of doubt no matter the match because there is no win that is factually guaranteed. Look back in history and see for yourself, there will always be that one exception, that one person that always manages to defy whatever expectations you place on them and do the impossible. So sure, is there a possibility that Joso and Ruler could do that? I never said that was out of the picture. But that possibility is also very slim compared to when you fare those with my chances against the two of them. That’s not just me saying that, look back to the last time I faced Ruler, look back to the time I faced Joso. They speak for themselves, and if they don’t think I’m able to do that again then they’re kidding themselves. But let’s pose a hypothetical anyway, what if right? Well if that was the case, even then I walk away unscathed. Even though the Interwire Championship is something that I have cherished for the days that I have held it since last year… I still cement myself in history just like my New Breed Championship reign as the longest reigning Champion. I am still the greatest Interwire Champion that this company has ever had, and there is no disputing that. Even if I do lose I am still the World Heavyweight Champion, and with my track record, could be well on my way to getting a third record at my disposal if everything goes right. While they lose everything in one fell swoop, I still have so much in the palm of my hand that I don’t look too much into it and wonder where I will be if I lose because the answer is already certain. But that doesn’t mean I will lose, because I won’t. That’s just something that they’re going to have to live with at the end of the day.
Michael Belfort: Well that leads into my next question, and it’s kind of an obvious one. Once Poor Unfortunate Souls is all said and done, what’s going to be next for Andre Walker? Do you have any sort of clue?
(Andre looks to respond, but before he can something catches his eye. The camera pans over to reveal Amir Yusuf walking into the scene, excusing Michael from the interview and allowing himself to step into his place while also taking his microphone into possession. The battle scars of his match against Jay Jerry Johnson still subside, but regardless the confidence is still there and he shows that even in the face of danger. Andre is stone-faced while Albert is disgusted, Amir speaking while looking at the Undisputed World Heavyweight Interwire Champion.)
Amir Yusuf: Excuse the interruption, but I think I have a good idea of what’s going to be next for you. Ever since the start of the Season, my ambitions have been made crystal clear, and that was the fact that I was gunning for what I believed I deserved. Especially considering someone of my stature and importance, it was only fitting that what was on my radar was immediately a World Championship. Sure, there were a few bumps in the road, that’s something I’m not going to deny. I lost the contendership match, I had to go through this whole Jay Jerry Johnson arc. But what matters is the fact that it’s through, and I can get back to what truly matters. People have counted me out for so long that they don’t realize who I am and what I am and have been capable of inside the ring. I am more than World Championship qualified and that has been proven time after time again with my efforts inside this ring and how much I’ve had to sacrifice since stepping into this company. So I was going to come back around, it was only a matter of when that time was going to come. But now here I am.
Albert Hitchman: Get to the point.
(Amir glances at Albert before looking over at Andre who is unfazed by his claims.)
Amir Yusuf: I don’t care if you’re holding one or two Championships once the night is over, whatever that may be just know that I’m coming for it. And I demand a future match between the two of us so I can show you just how good I am inside that ring. I’m not a Ruler or a Joso, I actually have the facilities to back up what I say and I’m going to do that by taking everything that you hold dear away and finally fulfilling the prophecy of becoming a World Champion. I am finally going to make it my moment, and here’s the thing, absolutely nobody is going to stop me. It’s up to you Champ, but if you know better, you know that the whole fighting Champion belief is something that you’d want to uphold no matter the challenger. So it’s in your best interest to accept my challenge to you.
(Andre adjusts the World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder before nodding his head slowly.)
Andre Walker: I accept.
(Andre then turns around and makes his way out of the scene, with Albert following closely behind him. Amir watches on with a smirk on his face, satisfied with the future Championship match that he has coming around, before he as well turns around and takes his leave. It’s the last shot seen before Poor Unfortunate Souls then begins to fade to elsewhere from there.)
(“Runnin” by 21 Savage & Metro Boomin blares throughout the arena, and the crowd are on their feet! Bronson Daniels steps out onto the stage, looking confident and ready to go. The crowd chants his name, and Bronson can’t help but smile and nod in acknowledgment. He makes his way down the ramp and high-fives a few of the fans.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, residing in Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 210 pounds… he is the “Remastered”, BROOOOOOOONNNSSSOOOOOONNNN DAAAAAAANIIEEEEEEEEEELLLSSS!
Stew-O: Bronson Daniels came back earlier in the month and it’s as if he never left. So much has changed here in EAW, but Bronson doesn’t feel out of place here at all. The former Interwire Champion is here tonight for our Supershow, and as always he seeks to steal the show. Perhaps it’s only fitting that his opponent for tonight is someone he’s shared the ring with before.
Jake Mercer: You mean the guy who was a better Interwire Champion than him? :mjlol:
Flannery McCoy: One thing that definitely didn’t change is the pettiness from you, Jake.
Jake Mercer: What? You want me to sit here and act as if I’m glad he’s back on Dynasty?
Flannery McCoy: You don’t need to like him, but you have to give him his props! He came back from having to deal with some hardships in his life and he’s been on fire. You can at least commend him for that, right?
Jake Mercer: Yeah, yeah. Good for him, I guess. At any rate, the superior former Interwire Champion is going to come out here and beat him.
Flannery McCoy: But, Bronson Daniels beat Ronan Malosi to become the Interwire Champion last year. I’d say he has a fair shake in this match. He knows how Ronan operates and the kind of elitist he is.
Stew-O: Ronan and Bronson go way back. And just like their matches before, this one isn’t lacking any bit of tension. There’s no love lost between these two men.
(Bronson gets inside the ring and warms up a bit. He looks right at the stage with his game face on. As his music fades out, ‘Mo Money’ by Ben McLusky plays. The crowd boos. Out comes Ronan Malosi, cocky and smug as ever as he mocks the crowd’s disapproval for him. He mocks Bronson as well, who doesn’t seem to be phased in the slightest. He simply shakes his head as Malosi slowly makes his way to the ring.)
Stephie Love: And introducing his opponent! Residing in Palm Springs, Florida, weighing in at 285 pounds… he is the “Million Dollar Megastar”, ROOONAAAAAAAAAANNNNN MALOOOSSSIIIIIII!!
Stew-O: Ronan has made it known many times how he believes himself to be superior to Bronson Daniels. He’s especially looking to spoil Bronson’s current run by beating him tonight and avenging the loss he had the last time the two of them went toe-to-toe at each other.
Jake Mercer: He certainly is! Who can ever think that this wonderful man wouldn’t be able to beat him? Ronan has grown a lot. From Charlie Marr to Minerva, Ronan has stepped up and proven that he can hang himself with the best!
Flannery McCoy: Ronan might’ve lost those encounters, but the improvement is noticeable. As much as people may not like how Malosi carries himself, he has been opening some eyes. He’s slowly but surely turning his name around and proving himself to be an elitist that will do whatever it takes to win.
Stew-O: And Ronan Malosi is entering the ring… or, so we thought? He’s just standing there on the apron, looking at Bronson for a moment before mouthing off at him! What is going on here?
Flannery McCoy: There’s a whole lot of jaw-jacking going on, and the crowd doesn’t like it! The arena is booing Ronan right now. We’re supposed to be having a physical matchup between these two, but it seems like Ronan is more interested in talking trash than squaring up. At least Bronson doesn’t seem bothered in the slightest by these antics.
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) Honestly, you aren’t worth it. I’m out of here!
Stew-O: Ronan hops off the apron and seems to be making his way back the ramp! What’s going on here?
Flannery McCoy: He isn’t really about to leave, right? We have a match here that’s supposed to be going on!
Jake Mercer: Well, Ronan has his back turned to the ring as he’s walking away! The fans are booing relentlessly, but I don’t think Malosi cares at all!
Stew-O: The fans certainly aren’t pleased. Ronan is going up the ramp… but Bronson gets out and goes after him! Bronson comes up behind and DECKS RONAN BEHIND THE HEAD! The fans are going wild! Bronson rains some fists down before getting Ronan up and leading him back to the ring! He rolls him in! This match can finally get underway!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Flannery McCoy: Bronson is ready to go, but Ronan is already rolling away! He’s making a beeline straight for the ropes. He rolls away, and once again the fans here in Athens are not appreciating this sort of cowardice being displayed here!
Jake Mercer: But Bronson and following him behind, not letting Ronan get out the easy way. They’re running around the ring now! Bronson is almost catching up to him! Ronan slides back in and Bronson is close behind! Bronson is in– and he gets rocked with a stiff forearm shot from Ronan! This wasn’t cowardice! This was a plan! A brilliant one, at that!
Stew-O: Ronan is absolutely proud of himself. He gets to stomping down on Bronson now, pummeling him. This is exactly what he wanted! He gets to his knees and starts raining down a barrage of forearm and elbow shots.
Flannery McCoy: Ronan is one of the more slippery Elitists here and he’s showing why that’s the case.
Jake Mercer: Hey, you can’t be mad at a guy for taking advantage and trying to do whatever they can to win! Ronan is truly far more intelligent and methodical than people give him credit for!
Flannery McCoy: Of course you would enjoy this. :eyeroll:
Stew-O: Well, regardless of what people may think about his methods thus far, he is able to gain an upper hand early on. Ronan gets Bronson up to his feet and sends him into the ropes, perhaps looking for something big! He hoists Bronson up back on the rebound, but Bronson is able to leap right over Ronan and land behind him! He grabs him by the waist and pushes Ronan to the ropes! Ronan comes back and NAILS the rolling uppercut!
Flannery McCoy: Ronan looks almost shocked and annoyed at the same time! He gets up and charges at Bronson, but Bronson gets him with a punch and a swift kick to the gut! Ronan kneels over and Bronson uses the ropes for some momentum and gets him down with a running dropkick! The tides have turned in his favor!
Jake Mercer: For now, at least. Oh, now look at him, smiling at the crowd just because they’re cheering him on! Hey, moron! How about you focus on your match instead of trying to be the fan favorite here?!
Flannery McCoy: :lolwut:
Stew-O: Bronson is the sort of elitist that thrives on the energy of the crowd. No surprise there. The momentum is on his side now, and he’s certainly going to want to make sure he remains in control from here on out.
Flannery McCoy: So much for Ronan’s genius plan! He got his receipt the hard way, and Bronson isn’t going to go easy on him either! He brings Ronan back up to his feet and lands a few forearm shots of his own before kicking at the knee and landing a firm roundhouse kick to the side of the head! Ronan is down, and Bronson Daniels is going straight for the cover!
Referee: ONNNEEEEEEE–
Jake Mercer: Ronan kicks out at one! A wonderful show of tenacity and will there on his part!
Flannery McCoy: Oh boy.
Stew-O: Ronan is able to get the shoulder up, but Bronson remains focused on staying on top of him. Once more Ronan is lifted to his feet, and Bronson Daniels hits him with a few punches. He grabs Ronan by the arm and whips him into the ropes. Ronan is coming back, and Bronson drops down as Ronan hops over him. Bronson jumps up for a dropkick– but nobody is home! Ronan is holding on to the ropes! Bronson gets up quickly, but Ronan comes rushing in for a clothesline!
Jake Mercer: No! Bronson manages to duck underneath the clothesline attempt and springs onto the ropes! He goes flying for a crossbody– BUT RONAN MANAGES TO CATCH HIM!
Flannery McCoy: This isn’t looking good for Bronson at all! He’s in a precarious situation! He’s doing his best to fight back with some elbows to the side of Ronan Malosi’s head! Just hit after hit after hit! But Ronan withstands them long enough to throw Bronson over with an overhead fallaway slam! That was a rough landing for Bronson!
Stew-O: Ronan shakes off the cobwebs. He looks down at Bronson with a bit of disgust on his face. At least for now he’s back in the driver’s seat and NAILS Bronson on the back with an axe handle! And another one! Now he’s just battering him with a series of forearms and punches targetting right onto that back!
Jake Mercer: This definitely isn’t ballet. This is two guys having an intense contest with plenty of tension going on between them! Given their history, that shouldn’t come as any surprise. The Million Dollar Megastar has a million-dollar smile on his face as he’s enjoying beating Bronson! Honestly, I have a smile of my own just watching this all unfold!
Flannery McCoy: It’s been two years now, Jake. Are you ever going to stop?
Jake Mercer: Nope.
Stew-O: Ronan is enjoying himself. That grin isn’t going anywhere as he lifts Bronson up and slams him right back down with a snap suplex! But wait! He holds on to Bronson as he gets up and lifts him in the air! Bronson goes down with ANOTHER suplex! Could he be going for a third one?
Jake Mercer: Ronan has a hold on Bronson as he drags Daniels up to his feet. He’s not looking for another suplex, though! He’s wrapping his arms around the torso of Bronson and squeezes in tight as he lifts him up and traps him in a bear hug! He’s got that in! Right in the middle of the ring, too! Great stuff from Malosi!
Flannery McCoy: Bronson Daniels is in a world of hurt here! He’s got to try and find a way out of this hold, and fast!
Stew-O: That bear hug looks excruciating! Bronson seems to be struggling a bit– oh! He hits Ronan with a headbutt! And another! He’s fighting through the pain to get Ronan to release him! AND HE DOES! Bronson is able to slip free as Ronan stumbles back in a daze! Almost reminiscent of that headbutt exchange they had back at last year’s Grand Rampage!
Jake Mercer: I don’t know how smart that is on Bronson’s part. I mean, he’s able to get out, but a headbutt is the sort of move that takes a lot out of you just as much as it does your opponent! Bronson seems to be holding his forehead too.
Flannery McCoy: That may be the case. Still, when you’re trapped in a hold like that, there isn’t much you can really do! It was a risk, but it paid off; Bronson can be resourceful and if he can gather himself a bit he can try and shift things back into his favor!
Stew-O: Both men stumble a bit, but they’re still standing. Ronan sees Bronson and goes straight at him with a BIG BOOT! NO! Bronson ducks at the last second and rolls forward! He’s clutching at his ribs a bit, but he’s still moving! He runs and Ronan goes for a back elbow only for Bronson to duck under that one too! Bronson rebounds from the ropes and slides in between the legs of Malosi! He pops right back up and connects with a dropkick! Ronan scrambles to his feet, but Bronson trips him with a drop toe hold and goes racing off for the ropes again! Bronson comes back and GOES FOR A SOCCER KICK–!
Jake Mercer: NO! Ronan is able to duck and traps Bronson’s leg! He rolls him through for a schoolboy pin attempt!
Referee: ONNNNNNNEEEE!
Referee: TW—!
Flannery McCoy: Kickout! But wait! RONAN STILL HAS A HOLD ON BRONSON! HE’S GETTING UP TO HIS FEET AND PICKING HIM UP! BRONSON IS UP IN THE AIR, PERCHED RIGHT ON MALOSI’S SHOULDER!!
Jake Mercer: Amazing strength from Ronan! Bronson is definitely not getting out of this one!
Stew-O: This has all of the makings of ending disastrously for Bronson Daniels! But he punches Ronan on the top of his head! And there’s another one! Bronson stuns Ronan, grabs onto his arm, and rolls down and through to GET AN ARMBAR LOCKED IN! What a reversal!
Jake Mercer: Seriously?!?!
Flannery McCoy: Ronan is flailing around! Bronson is able to put a stop to whatever Ronan was planning and now he’s got that a tight grip of the wrist while his legs are applying as much pressure as possible! Ronan is yelling out! Now he’s the one that has to come up with a way to get out of a dire situation! With the way Bronson as the armbar locked in, Malosi could be close to tapping out!
Stew-O: Ronan is struggling, trying to reach for the ropes but they’re just a hair away from his fingertips! He can’t reach them! Ronan is exasperated! He knows this could be the end for him!
Jake Mercer: Ronan is in pain, but he uses his weight to shift Bronson onto his shoulders! Somehow, someway, he’s able to Bronson pinned to the mat!
Referee: ONNNNEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOO–
Flannery McCoy: Kickout by Bronson! He lets go of the hold and stands up, but RONAN IS UP AS WELL AND STRIKES HIM IN THE THROAT WITH HIS GOOD HAND! BRONSON IS DOWN AND FLAILING AROUND!
Jake Mercer: Haha, yes! There’s that good ol’ throat strike from Malosi! He’s giving that arm Bronson had trapped a good shake. He may have been in trouble, but now he’s back on top! Look at that smirk, too. He should be proud of himself! What a crafty guy he is!
Stew-O: The fans, however, don’t seem to share that sentiment. Ronan just waves them off and positions Bronson underneath the bottom rope. He goes by the feet and takes hold of his legs! Ronan gives a smile as he goes back and BRONSON’S THROAT GETS CAUGHT BY THE BOTTOM ROPE! BRONSON IS HURTING!
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) That should shut you up for good!
Flannery McCoy: A bit of trash-talking after such a horrible move! Ronan is dragging Bronson out to the center of the mat and goes in for a quick, cocky cover!
Referee: ONNNNEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO–
Stew-O: Bronson kicks out! Ronan is looking annoyed! He argues with the referee for a bit, but they maintain it was a two! Ronan goes right at Bronson and smears his forearm all over his face!
Jake Mercer: Ronan is getting that mean streak on and I am here for it! Ronan gets up a lays in a few boots to him for good measure! Now, he grabs a handful of Bronson’s hair and snaps him down to sit on the mat. He runs for the ropes and rebounds back with a SHARP BIG BOOT RIGHT TO HIS FACE! Talk about impact there! Here’s another cover!
Referee: ONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO–
Stew-O: Another kick out from Bronson!
Flannery McCoy: Ronan is getting more and more pissed off by the second the longer Bronson is able to stay in this match. He lifts Bronson up and goes behind, wrapping his arm around his throat! Ronan locks Bronson in with the rear naked chokehold! Bronson is in trouble here!
Jake Mercer: He should give up at this point. With the damage to the throat from earlier, he’s currently in a lot of pain! It doesn’t help that Ronan is bigger and stronger than him either!
Stew-O: Bronson is reaching out for the ropes! He inches closer and closer, but as soon as he tries to touch them, Ronan clubs him in the chest with a few hammer fists!
Flannery McCoy: Bronson is wincing from the blows. This is just brutal to watch. He… he seems to be fading! Can Ronan get the win here?!
Jake Mercer: For Bronson’s sake, he better have passed out! The referee goes to check on him and raises his arm up into the air… and it drops! One more, and this match will be over!
Stew-O: The fans are rallying behind Bronson! The referee raises his arm up in the air one more time… AND IT STAYS THERE! BRONSON’S HAND IS CURLED INTO A FIST! HE’S STILL IN THIS ONE! AND RONAN IS IN ABSOLUTE SHOCK! Bronson goes running for the ropes and leaps up, using them to help spring him up and flip over! Ronan turns around and goes for a clothesline, but Bronson ducks underneath and HITS HIM WITH THE SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK! CHROME HEART TAGS!
Flannery McCoy: Oh, but Ronan rolls out of the ring! Bronson couldn’t even get the chance to capitalize on it! He’s clutching at his throat and chest and trying to recuperate. The referee is beginning to count!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Jake Mercer: Ronan is starting to stir a little, but he needs to hurry up!
Referee: FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
Stew-O: Ronan is slow to crawl to the apron and support himself up. It’s clear that the Chrome Heart Tags rocked him.
Referee: SEVEN!
Flannery McCoy: Ronan is back on his feet and– Bronson is on the apron now! He’s eyeing down Ronan! He goes running, looking for something big! He jumps–
Jake Mercer: –AND RONAN CATCHES HIM! HE HAS HIM IN HIS GRASP AND SPINS BEFORE DROPPING BRONSON RIGHT DOWN ONTO THE FLOOR WITH THE VERTIGO!!!
Stew-O: That couldn’t have happened at a more opportune time for him! Ronan is still hurt, but he grabs Bronson and brings him into the ring! He slides in and goes for the leg hook and the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEE–
Flannery McCoy: BRONSON KICKS OUT! HE MANAGES TO GET HIS SHOULDER UP! EVEN IF HE’S HURT! WOW!!! THE FANS HAVE ERUPTED!
Crowd: Bronson! Bronson! Bronson!
Jake Mercer: Ugh, Ronan was so close, but Bronson just had to be stubborn! Ronan is mad beyond belief! He’s arguing with the referee again but nothing is going to change the fact that Bronson is still in this one! He’s gotta hurry and finish this! He has to focus!
Stew-O: Ronan is angry, but he can’t lose grasp of the momentum that’s on his side! He goes to pick Bronson up! He might be getting the Death-Ro here! Ronan taunts the crowd before lifting Bronson in the air and– WAIT! BRONSON BRINGS A KNEE TO THE GUT OF RONAN MALOSI! RONAN HUNCHES OVER AND LET’S GO! BRONSON HITS HIM IN THE LEG WITH A KICK, AND RONAN IS DOWN TO ONE KNEE! BRONSON GRABS HIS WRISTS AND STRIKES HIM WITH THE COUPLE GOALS!!! RONAN SLINKS DOWN!
Flannery McCoy: With the presence of mind and resilience, Bronson is able to stun Ronan for a moment! He leans on the ropes and gathers himself, acknowledging the crowd going crazy for him! Bronson smiles!
Jake Mercer: Oh god, not like this! Get up, Ronan!
Stew-O: Ronan gets to his hands and knees! And Bronson is right there sizing him up… AND CONNECTING WITH SAVAGE MODE! LIFTING UNDERHOOK GUTBUSTER!
Flannery McCoy: Ronan is laid out on the mat! And Bronson goes straight for the cover!
Referee: ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner, BRRROOOONSOOOOONNNN DAAAAAAANNNIIEEEEELLS!!
Jake Mercer: Man…
Flannery McCoy: Well, Jake? Want to give him his props now?
Jake Mercer: Ugh… Don’t make this night worse than it already is for me.
Stew-O: Bronson Daniels picks up the win here tonight! An incredible showing by him. Once again, he is able to defeat Ronan Malosi and be the better elitist for the night.
Flannery McCoy: It was a fierce fight and both men sought to surprise and each other. It was as intense and close as everyone thought it would be, and tonight, we all saw Bronson Daniels as the one that got to have his hand raised.
(Bronson Daniels smiles and points to the fans as he carefully gets out of the ring. He celebrates with a few fans as he makes his way up the ramp. Ronan is up and leans against the ropes, shaking his head. The last shot we get his one where we see Ronan scowl as he transition over to the backstage area.)
(Cameras transitions backstage to a room reserved for Soul Food Sundays, Viz, Astraea, Serena, and D’Angelo are all seen sitting together in discussion)
Visual Prophet: Helluva way to kick off this event am I right?
Astraea Jordan: I couldn’t have said it better myself. You know even though I wasn’t consulted on any of this and a week ago we went from discussing the potential of a new member to all of a sudden having a whole ass new member moments later, I will say that having you in the mix will be a great addition IF we can stay on the same page.
Serena Bennett: C’mon now girlie you know we have to stick together and be on the same page, that’s the goal here. I came back to help you guys in whatever way I can, enhance the group and take it to new heights and we’ll all be better for it.
Astraea Jordan: Well I don’t think I need to be “taken” anywhere but I definitely look forward to the mutually beneficial partnership where we are all on equal ground.😊
Serena Bennett: Yeah, yeah, yeah 😑. Nobody is trying to steal your thunder sis get it through that braid of yours.
Astraea Jordan: As soon as that lace front allows enough blood to circulate to your brain and help you understand that you aren’t my leader.
(An awkward silence fills the room as the tension becomes thick, Viz and Angelo are stuck even though they want to interject but don’t want to say the wrong thing and Serena/Astraea are both staring holes through one another. Eventually their expressions change and they both start collectively laughing as it’s now clear that everything is good between them.)
Visual Prophet:
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Y’all almost gave us a heart attack! I almost had to give you ladies the speech! But I do have to ask though my beautiful caramel complexion queen, how the hell did Tyrone get you out here so quick last week?
Serena Bennett: Well funny story, I actually re-signed with EAW before you guys were even considering adding a member to the group, I was going to be making a surprise return at any point so I was already out here. With Harper vs Andrea on the horizon I was 100% still making my presence felt in that match and putting an end to that overrated blackfishing Karen who they thought could take my place. So that flight was already booked weeks ago and I’ve been around just waiting for the right moment. The timing just happened to finally align with that and you guys needing a member and here I was. Besides, I saw Vizzy keeping my name alive throughout all of my absence🥹. Thanks bae!
Visual Prophet: You already. I already peeped the vibes. I wasn’t about to let these insecure jealous bitches try to dance on what they thought was your grave, had to restore balance. Besides all of those “I told you so’s” were coming from the most fragile glass houses and it’s like I said before, Serena’s departure only made Vizzy’s payday, win-win if you ask me.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: I still don’t trust that Negropean Tyrone! Something about him doesn’t sit right with my soul. A black man named Tyrone who is a top-level Disney executive and claims to be “all-inclusive” whatever the hell that means and damn sure ain’t down with the culture? Yet he felt compelled enough to bring Serena back and add her to the group?
Serena Bennett: What, you saying you don’t trust me? :mjpls:
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Of course not queen! :whoa: We been through the trenches together and you a day one to me! But you shouldn’t be trusting that milk dud looking bozo either! He don’t sit right with my soul!
Astraea Jordan: Mine either.
(Serena inaudibly mumbles to herself “well it’s a good thing nobody asked you”)
Astraea Jordan: You said something?
Serena Bennett: Of course not girl! Look, I completely understand the skepticism of Tyrone and I can see he’s not *everybody’s* cup of tea. He has some weird views and he has to play the game to conform to Disney’s standards, but what do they say in EAW? “Trust the process!” right, just trust that he’ll come around and see things from our perspective. At the end of the day he’s still a black man in a white-dominated corporate powerhouse, I can only imagine what he has to endure on a day to day basis.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: He better come around soon then because I can only take but so much COONERY AND BUFFOONERY before I tell him about himself!
Visual Prophet: As long as he ain’t in my way I don’t really care. He seems to have a good rapport with Serena so that’s a win for us. Speaking of winning, I want you guys to be out there with me tonight when I take on Limmy, but I DON’T want you to interfere in any way. I don’t care how it goes, not that it’s gonna go any way but me winning, but I don’t want to give that ramen noodle haired Jason McKormick cosplaying dweeb the satisfaction of ever saying Vizzy needed help to take him down. So promise me you’ll stay out of this one.
Astraea Jordan: Promise.
Visual Prophet: …. Angie? :mjpls:
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: BBBUT VI–
Visual Prophet: ANGIE.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Okay fine damn!
Visual Prophet: Gg. Serena?
Serena Bennett: Wellllll, you know I love you and I WOULD promise… but I actually have some business to tend to tonight and won’t be able to be out there with you guys :lupe:.
Astraea Jordan: What could you possibly have going on that’s more important than this?
(Suddenly, Dynasty GM Tyrone Montgomery can be seen walking through the door with a big smile on his face)
Tyrone Montgomery: Hey I been looking for you guys! How’s it going? Y’all rocking with the Serena Bennett inclusion?!
Visual Prophet: Of course, helluva pick. I can’t say that I vibe with you but you definitely came through in the clutch with this one, so props! It’s crazy though because we was just speaking about you.
Tyrone Montgomery: Well I mean, who isn’t am I right? Those rave reviews have been going crazy since I took this job! But Unfortunately I’m not here for small talk I actually came to tell Serena that her jet is ready.
Astraea Jordan: Her WHAT? Girl where we going?
Tyrone Montgomery: Well SHE’S going to a quick trip in LA to handle some important Hollywood-related business, she’ll be back in time next week for Dynasty and Voltage of course, but part of me getting her back included striking some deals which you’ll hear more about in the very near future.
Serena Bennett: I wanted to keep it as a surprise but then Viz said he wanted us out there for his match and yeah.
Visual Prophet: It’s all good! Secure that bag and gets these cacs for every penny. Overcharge for what they did to the cold crush! Soul Food Sundays won’t just be dominating EAW, but we’ll be dominating Hollywood too!
Serena Bennett: Facts! I’m gonna text you when I land okay?
Visual Prophet: Alright be safe.
(Serena and Viz hug and she waves goodbye to Astraea and Angelo as she grabs her luggage and makes her way through the door that Tyrone is holding open before closing it and following Serena down the hall and our of the frame.)
Visual Prophet: I guess it’ll just be the original 3 tonight. Now it’s time to prepare.
(Astraea and Angelo look on as Viz gets in the zone as Dynasty transitions to a commercial break)
(Commercial Break)
(Enfamil commercial starring Impact)
(Poor Unfortunate Souls comes back to a shot of Nikos Galis Olympic Indoor Hall backstage area. The camera goes over to show Dynasty Backstage Interviewer Michael Belfort standing by with a smile on his face and a microphone in his hand while he’s seen in front of an EAW backdrop. After a good moment, he brings the microphone up to his mouth and begins to speak to the camera.)
Michael Belfort: Ladies and gentlemen, what a star-studded show we’ve had this evening. It’s truly amazing to see the Elitists of Friday Night Dynasty step up to the plate and create moments that we’ll never forget here in the Land of Elite. There are so many people looking to stake a claim and solidify themselves as the future that you know the competition is tense. There is one person though that has already reserved his slot at the very top here this Season and someone who has made waves since his arrival on the red brand. Please welcome my guest tonight… Limmy Monaghan.
(The camera pans over to show Limmy Monaghan walking into the scene with a smile on his face. He has his ring gear on, ready for his match against The Visual Prophet later in the night. He greets Michael before he then continues to speak toward Limmy from there.)
Michael Belfort: Limmy, thank you for joining me tonight.
Limmy Monaghan: Pleasures all mine, glad to be here.
Michael Belfort: So as I’m sure we all know, tonight you’re going to be stepping into the ring to face The Visual Prophet in singles competition. This is a match that has been brewing for a long time and one that I’m sure everyone, including myself, have been waiting for. As we know, earlier in the night The Visual Prophet and the rest of Soul Food Sunday got some final words in toward you and their approach heading into this match. Now I think we all want to know how you feel about this.
Limmy Monaghan: If I didn’t get enough of it already, unfortunately, I did hear what Viz had to say to start the show. I’m not surprised that it’s the same tired narrative that everyone else has put out either, especially considering how unoriginal and repetitive he can be at times when he stoops down to just repeating what others have said before him. Like I haven’t heard that I’m a ripoff of a who’s who of people, especially when said people have praised me and given me my flowers on multiple occasions. Oh, how about this one, ‘Limmy Monaghan is incapable of becoming a World Champion’, isn’t that ironic? Ironic considering that we would’ve been saying much differently if not for D’Angelo putting his hands into the match and costing me the match in Viz’s favor. If you want me to be honest with you, it’s tiring. I think I speak for everyone here in saying that we’ve heard enough Viz for one week and that now with the opportunity to finally put this to rest, everyone is going to want me to finish the job once the bell rings.
Limmy Monaghan: These past few weeks I’ve had the opportunity to ponder what could’ve been. The possibilities had it not been for Viz’s pettiness and unwarranted attack… it could’ve been so much more and I don’t think anyone is going to deny that. But at the same time, the potential of what could’ve been and all these hypotheticals instead of haunting me fire me up even more. It keeps my priorities set on making sure that my goal of adding another accolade to my collection is certain. I don’t like Viz, I don’t think very highly of him, but his status on the totem pole is one that I’m going to reap the benefits of when I pin him. Benefit me more than him ever attacking me did for him, and I will grow and make up for everything that could’ve been if everything went right and I was the one that ended up facing Andre for the Undisputed World Heavyweight Interwire Championship at Midsummer Massacre instead of Madison Kaline. Nonetheless, everything is all in due time for me.
Michael Belfort: Now I’m sure this is a question everyone wants to know, especially after Tyrone Montgomery confirmed your status as Team Captain for Dynasty’s Anarchy in The Arena team. You have two spots that you need to fill for the match and I am certain that there are a lot of options to go around. Let’s get this out of the way right now, do you have any clue who you’re going to end up recruiting for the match?
Limmy Monaghan: I know a lot of people are wondering what I’m cooking, but I promise, you’re not going to have to wait much longer. We all know tonight is a very important night for the Dynasty brand, and I’ll get to see firsthand who steps up and makes themselves worthy enough for my consideration. If there’s one certainty I can give you, it’s that by next week you’ll know exactly who will be representing this brand. But in the meantime, it’ll be fun to see who actually decides to step up to the plate tonight.
(Limmy looks about ready to wrap the interview up, but then he begins to say something else to top it off.)
Limmy Monaghan: Oh, by the way, Viz, you were never in consideration to begin with. See you out there tonight.
Michael Belfort: Limmy, thank you for joining me tonight. Good luck in your match.
(Limmy gives a simple nod before then turning around and beginning to make his leave, leaving Michael Belfort by himself in front of the camera. He turns and smiles before continuing to speak.)
Michael Belfort: Bold words being spoken by the Team Captain of the Territorial Invasion Anarchy in The Arena team. I’m sure we’ll hear more another time, but for right now, we have to get back to the rest of this stacked supershow tonight. Throwing it right back to you guys.
(Poor Unfortunate Souls fades back into the arena to a shot of Stephie Love standing at the center of the ring, ready to announce the next match.)
Stephie Love: The following contest is a SUBMISSION MATCH, and it is for the EAW Specialist Championship!!!
(‘Bussin’ by Nicki Minaj & Lil Baby begins to play throughout the arena to a mixture of cheers and boos, as Diamond Dixon would walk through the curtain and onto the stage looking as confident as ever. She begins to make her way down to the ring, before entering the ring and backing into her corner)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challenger… from Houston, Texas… weighing in at 176 pounds… she is The ‘Crown Jewel’… DIAMOND DIXON!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: After Serenity Valdez had won her match at the Draft Show at the start of season 16, Diamond Dixon had unleashed a brutal assault on her… letting her know that she had her sights on the Specialist Championship, and this match has been brewing for weeks upon end to get to this point.
Flannery McCoy: And now with the Submission Match as an added stipulation, these two are going to have free roam to beat the living hell out of each other, with there being no DQ’s and count outs, with the only way to win is by making your opponent submit inside of the ring.
(‘Bussin’ would fade out, as it would soon be replaced with ‘Demeanor’ by Pop Smoke & Dua Lipa, the mixed reaction being completely drowned out by nothing but boos, as the current Specialist Champion Serenity Valdez walks through the curtain and onto the stage. She holds the Specialist Championship high in the air, before making her way down to the ring, entering and getting into the face of Diamond Dixon before backing into her corner.)
Stephie Love: And her opponent… from Tijuana, Mexico… weighing in at 130 pounds… she is The ‘Virtuosa’… the current EAW Specialist Champion: SERENITY VALDEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Ever since winning the Specialist Championship, Serenity Valdez has been on an absolute tear, and now she has to defend the title for the first time in a Submission Match against Diamond Dixon, in a very personal rivalry that has been heating over from the Draft Show.
Flannery McCoy: Serenity has made it her mission to put an end to Diamond Dixon here tonight, and she may be able to do just that by the end of this match, but on the other hand, we may see a new Specialist Champion here tonight! There is only one way to find out!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND HERE WE GO!!! SPECIALIST CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE LINE – SUBMISSIONS COUNT ONLY! AND RIGHT FROM THE GET-GO, SERENITY VALDEZ RUNS STRAIGHT AT DIAMOND DIXON-
Flannery McCoy: WHAT THE HELL??? DIAMOND DIXON JUST CAUGHT THE SPECIALIST CHAMPION BY THE ARM, AND SHE JUMPS BEFORE ROLLING THEM OVER AND DOWN ONTO THE MAT… AND DIAMOND DIXON LOCKS IN A CROSS ARMBREAKER! Serenity just got caught in that armbar and it might be over before it even begins! Serenity is struggling! Diamond has that move in tightly, and this match might be over before it even had time to begin! We might be seeing a new Specialist Champion already! Serenity can’t get out, and she is trying her hardest to reach the ropes!!
Jake Mercer: Serenity Valdez is struggling! We might already see a new Specialist Champion! Diamond Dixon has that armbar in tightly, and she only continues to wrench on that arm even more, causing it to be harder for Serenity to even make her way to the ropes! Serenity is trying to crawl, but she is barely making any movement! BUT SHE IS DOING IT! Dixon is trying to hold onto it, but Serenity is making it to the ropes… and she grabs onto the rope! The rope break is confirmed, as Diamond Dixon immediately let’s go, but the Champ is already hurt.
Stew-O: And it looks like Diamond Dixon is going to take advantage of it once again, as she grabs Serenity, and she might be trying to lock in another submission, but Serenity is holding onto the ropes. She is holding onto the ropes for dear life as she is able to kick Diamond off of her, before Serenity takes a short rebound off the ropes, and catches Diamond with a knee right to the gut! Dixon falls down to a knee, and now Serenity connects with an impactful snap DDT!
Flannery McCoy: AND IT LOOKED LIKE SERENITY WAS GOING TO TRANSITION THAT SNAP DDT INTO A SUBMISSION, BUT DIAMOND DIXON QUICKLY ROLLED AWAY! This is exactly what a Submission Match is going to bring! Both of these female Elitists are going to look to end the match by locking in submissions at any given moment. But Diamond Dixon rolled onto the apron and outside of the ring, but it seems that Serenity Valdez is going to go and grab her! Serenity has Diamond by the hair, and looks to pull her up onto the apron-
(WACK!)
Jake Mercer: :krabs: DIAMOND DIXON JUST GRABBED A KENDO STICK FROM UNDER THE RING AND SHE JUST SNAPPED IT RIGHT ACROSS THE SHOULDER BLADE OF SERENITY VALDEZ! Serenity just got caught with the kendo stick, and remember that there are no disqualifications in this match! AND DIAMOND JUST WACKS HER WITH THE KENDO STICK ONCE AGAIN BEFORE THROWING IT TO THE GROUND! And now with Serenity struggling in the ring, Diamond Dixon quickly makes her way back into the ring, and she catches Valdez off guard with a swinging neckbreaker!
Stew-O: Serenity Valdez goes down and now Diamond Dixon continues the beat down! The lefts and rights connecting, and Serenity can’t even defend herself! She is trying to get her arms up to protect herself, but Diamond just continues the onslaught! Diamond now grabs Serenity before picking her up back to her feet… AND SHE THROWS SERENITY RIGHT INTO THE CORNER! That was a hard impact that Serenity made with the turnbuckles, and it forces her to drop down to her knees, as Dixon runs the ropes… before catching her with a knee right to her jaw! Serenity falls over!
Flannery McCoy: And now it looks like Diamond Dixon is looking to lock in a heel hook, but Serenity Valdez is fighting out of it! Serenity is fighting with everything she can, kicking and trying to push Diamond away, as Diamond lets go. Serenity tries to get back up to her feet now… but Dixon isn’t going to allow it! Dixon is grabbing Serenity by the arm, and another armbar may be locked in here… but once again Serenity is forced to fight her way on out of it, as she gets Dixon down to her knee before driving her knee right into the shoulder blade!
Jake Mercer: And now Serenity is holding her knee down right on the shoulder blade of Dixon! Diamond might be in a lot of trouble here as it seems that Serenity Valdez has her target, and she is going to take advantage of it, picking Diamond Dixon up to her feet, and grabbing onto her right shoulder, before dropping it down with force right onto the top rope! Dixon’s shoulder and arm just rebounded off the ropes, and you can see now that this is going to be a target as she is favoring that arm, and Serenity realizes it.
Stew-O: And now Serenity Valdez just grabbed the kendo stick that Diamond Dixon introduced that was on the outside of the ring, and she is bringing it in… AND SHE WACKS DIXON WITH THE KENDO STICK RIGHT TO HER SHOULDER! Serenity is giving Dixon her receipt now, and ANOTHER KENDO STICK SHOT! You can hear the echoes of pain that Diamond is screaming out each time the kendo stick makes a connection with that damaged shoulder, AND YET ANOTHER SHOT BEFORE SERENITY DROPS IT DOWN TO THE GROUND! Dixon is hurting badly, and Serenity is taking the opportunity!
Flannery McCoy: AND SERENITY VADLEZ IS LOCKING IN AN ARMBAR OF HER OWN! YOU CAN SEE THE PAIN PAINTED ACROSS THE FACE OF DIAMOND DIXON AS SHE IS LOOKING FOR A WAY TO GET OUT OF THIS! Serenity has pointed an attack right on that right shoulder of Diamond Dixon, and now she is capitalizing on it, and this may cause for the match to end right here! Serenity may retain the Specialist Championship off of this! Serenity continues to apply more and more pressure onto that arm, and Diamond has nowhere to go! Diamond Dixon can’t stay in this much longer!
Jake Mercer: Dixon is still trying to fight out of this! Even with all the pressure being applied, Dixon is trying to fight to the ropes or at least fight out of the submission, but it may be too much for her! Serenity knows her target and isn’t going to let off now, especially with it being clear! But Dixon is slowly making it to the ropes! Dixon may be able to get there, she isn’t far away! Serenity is trying to hold onto it, but she notices that Diamond is almost at the ropes… and she lets go!
Stew-O: Serenity Valdez just let go of the armbar, and now she quickly moves to the outside of the ring, dragging Diamond Dixon out with her… AND SHE SLAMS DIXON RIGHT INTO THOSE STEEL STEPS! That must have hurt, and Serenity isn’t even done, as she takes Dixon’s head and slams it right back into those steps! The Champ has taken advantage of an opportunity, and Diamond is completely out of it! And now… what the hell? Serenity has a steel chair! Serenity Valdez has a steel chair in hand… AND SHE SWINGS IT AT THE PRONE BODY OF DIAMOND DIXON!
Flannery McCoy: THE STEEL CHAIR JUST MADE CONNECTION TO THAT HURT SHOULDER OF DIAMOND DIXON… BUT I THINK THE PAIN JUST MADE HER ANGRY, AS SHE IS RIGHT BACK UP TO HER FEET, AND SHE SHOOTS UP WITH A CLOTHESLINE WITH HER LEFT ARM TAKING SERENITY RIGHT OUT! Serenity Valdez goes straight down as she did not have a pretty landing down on the floor below, and now it’s Dixon’s turn to wield the steel chair… AND SHE MAKES THE MOST OF IT, CATCHING SERENITY VALDEZ RIGHT ACROSS THE BACK WITH THE UNFORGIVING STEEL OF THAT STEEL CHAIR!
Jake Mercer: Wait?! Diamond Dixon is taking that steel chair… and she just broke the leg of the steel chair right off it, and is now throwing it into the ring! Remember there are no DQ’s in this match, so you can use whatever is around this ring to weaken your opponents for the submissions, but I have no clue what Dixon could even be having in mind to do with a broken piece of a steel chair! But she still takes that steel chair, and she swings it across the back of Serenity once more!
Stew-O: Diamond Dixon now throws the chair down beside them, before looking back under the ring… and did she just grab a pair of handcuffs? What could Diamond be possibly thinking to do with those handcuffs? Whatever it may be, I don’t think Serenity is too fond of the addition of them! Look at her! Serenity is trying to escape, but Dixon grabs a hold of her… BUT SERENITY WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! And now Serenity has possession of the handcuffs, and she throws Dixon into the ring! Serenity might have an idea here now!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity rolls into the ring now, handcuffs in her grasp, and it looks like she has the key as well! And now Serenity grabs a hold of Diamond Dixon… and she gets the handcuffs on one of her hands! The handcuff has been locked… and what the hell?! Is Serenity going to handcuff Dixon’s hands behind her!? If Serenity does this, she is going to have no freedom whatsoever to lock in any kind of submission, it is going to be all in Valdez’s favor! Serenity knows what she is doing! And she grabs the other hand-
Jake Mercer: BACKFIST BY DIAMOND DIXON! SERENITY VALDEZ JUST GOT CAUGHT, AND NOW SHE FALLS TO A KNEE… AND DIXON HAS A HOLD OF SERENITY’S HAND! DIXON… SHE JUST LOCKED THE OTHER PART OF THE HANDCUFFS AROUND SERENITY’S HAND! THESE TWO ARE HANDCUFFED TOGETHER NOW! Serenity Valdez has nowhere to go now… and Dixon is taking advantage of this! DIAMOND DIXON PULLS SERENITY IN BY THE HANDCUFFS AND CONNECTS WITH A LARIAT! You can tell the damage that did to Dixon’s injured shoulder, but she doesn’t care! She’s dropping down now onto the mat, and she grabs a hold of Serenity…
Stew-O: DIAMOND DIXON JUST LOCKED IN THE ANACONDA VICE! And the handcuffs are applying even more pressure on Serenity Valdez! Serenity quite literally has nowhere to go now! She can’t even move because of the handcuffs, all she can do is squirm around and hope she holds on long enough for Dixon to possibly let go of the hold, but I don’t see that happening! Diamond Dixon may have the Specialist Championship won here with handcuff-assisted anaconda vice because Serenity is not going to be able to get out of this!
Flannery McCoy: You can just tell that she is not going to be able to hold on much longer! Serenity has been through a lot in this match just like Dixon, and now the effects are showing! Serenity might be passing out, this might be it! We might crown a new Specialist Champion here tonight, all because of the anaconda vice! And this is exactly what the submission match is all about; taking these two female Elitists out of their element to do whatever it takes to win. And that may be exactly what happens!
(It looks like Serenity is going to pass out from the anaconda vice locked in… but somehow she finds a way to grab a hold of the kendo stick in the ring with her free hand.)
Jake Mercer: WAIT SERENITY VALDEZ HAS THAT KENDO STICK-
(WACK!)
Jake Mercer: SERENITY JUST SWUNG THE KENDO STICK INTO THE HURT SHOULDER OF DIAMOND DIXON!
(WACK!)
Stew-O: AND SHE DID IT AGAIN! SERENITY IS DESPERATE HERE AND SHE IS TRYING TO DO WHATEVER IS POSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF THE SUBMISSION!
(WACK! WACK! WACK! WACK! WACK! WACK!)
Flannery McCoy: AND I THINK THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR DIAMOND DIXON TO LET GO! SERENITY HAS GOTTEN HERSELF OUT OF THE ANACONDA VICE, AND NOW SERENITY REACHES OVER WITH HER FREE HAND, AND SHE GRABS THAT KEY! Serenity has a hold of the key, and she is able to free herself from the handcuffs with it! Serenity got the handcuff of her hand, and Diamond Dixon is now getting back up to her feet… BUT SERENITY VALDEZ CATCHES DIAMOND WITH THE EL ULTIMO BAILE! RECOIL! SERENITY CONNECTS WITH THE RECOIL!
Jake Mercer: Diamond Dixon is down! Diamond Dixon is down, and Serenity Valdez is quickly setting her up! She has her down on the ring… AND SHE LOCKS IN ‘AMARI’!!! CROSSFACE! CROSSFACE! The crossface is in and Diamond Dixon has nowhere that she can go! Serenity has it in tight, and you can see the damage that it is doing to the right shoulder of Dixon! I don’t know if Diamond could hold onto this much longer, as the pressure is seemingly too much! She is trying her best to make it to the rope but I don’t think she’ll be able to.
Stew-O: Diamond Dixon has gone through way too much in this match, and now it might be coming to an end all because of that hurt shoulder. She is trying her hardest to crawl to those ropes, but Serenity Valdez continues to apply the pressure more and more! Dixon can’t keep going! She is trying her hardest to make it to the ropes, but it may become too much for her! Serenity is holding onto it… but Dixon is getting closer to the ropes! DIAMOND DIXON IS ALMOST THERE!!! SHE’S GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE ROPES!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! SERENITY VALDEZ JUST GRABBED THAT BROKEN PIECE OF THE CHAIR… AND SHE IS HOLDING IT UP AGAINST THE MOUTH OF DIAMOND DIXON! THIS WITH THE APPLIED ‘AMARI’ MAKES THE MOVE THAT MUCH MORE WORSE FOR DIXON! You can see the agony across the face of Diamond Dixon, and this may be enough for Dixon to tap! But she is still close to the ropes, but it doesn’t mean much as that broken chair piece is holding her back as much as possible! Serenity has that hold in deep!
(Despite all the pressure being added, Diamond Dixon still reaches towards the ropes…)
Jake Mercer: DIAMOND DIXON GETS THE ROPE BREAK! A ROPE BREAK IS CONFIRMED! SERENITY VALDEZ IS FORCED TO LET GO OF THE ‘AMARI’ AS DIAMOND DIXON GOT A HOLD OF THE ROPES! Serenity finally lets go of the hold, as she throws the broken chair piece out of the ring, but now she is going back outside of the ring! Serenity is searching under the ring once more… and is that a steel chain?! Serenity just grabbed a steel chain, and she throws it into the ring! Diamond Dixon is still completely out of it from the Amari, and now Serenity is taking advantage! Serenity slowly enters the ring, before getting back up to her feet…
Stew-O: SERENITY VALDEZ JUST GOT CAUGHT BY A SPEAR FROM DIAMOND DIXON! THAT WAS OUT OF NOWHERE, AND NOW DIAMOND QUICKLY BRINGS SERENITY BACK UP TO HER FEET… AND DIAMOND DIXON CONNECTS WITH THE FACELIFT! THE FACEBUSTER PLANTS SERENITY, AND DIXON COLLAPSES TO THE MAT RIGHT AFTER! Diamond Dixon can’t capitalize off of the Facelift, but it definitely gave her time for breathing room, being able to drop Serenity and keeping her down for who knows how long. Diamond backs into the corner, and it looks like she is going to take the breathing room given to her as Serenity still looks to be out of it.
Flannery McCoy: Diamond Dixon is slowly getting back up to her feet now, but it looks like Serenity Valdez might be trying to get up to her feet as well. Diamond grabs a hold of Serenity, and pulls her up to her feet, before connecting with a forearm smash, and that sends Serenity back down to her knees… but wait! Serenity catches Diamond with the leg sweep, and that drops Diamond, as she tries to get right back up… BUT SERENITY GRABS A HOLD OF DIXON’S HURT SHOULDER, AND SHE STOMPS RIGHT ON IT! AND JUST LIKE THAT, DIAMOND DIXON IS RIGHT BACK IN ABSOLUTE AGONY!
Jake Mercer: And now Serenity is grabbing that steel chain that she introduced into the match… and she whips it right across the hurt shoulder of Diamond Dixon! Diamond is favoring that shoulder that has been targeted for this whole match, and now Serenity whips it once again! AND ONCE AGAIN! DIAMOND DIXON CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AS SERENITY SETS THE CHAIN DOWN TO THE SIDE, AND NOW SHE GRABS DIAMOND, AND JUST KNEES HER RIGHT IN THE FACE! Diamond Dixon is clearly out of it here, but she is still trying to fight! She doesn’t wanna stay down!
Stew-O: BUT SERENITY VALDEZ IS GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT DIAMOND DIXON STAYS DOWN! SERENITY HOLDS DIAMOND BACK UP TO HER KNEES, AND SHE RUNS THE ROPES… AND SERENITY CONNECTS WITH THE ‘HIT THE LIGHTS’! THE RUNNING KNEE STRIKE CONNECTS RIGHT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD, AND DIXON JUST FALLS FLAT!
Flannery McCoy: :lupe:
(Serenity Valdez then looks back towards the steel chain, before grabbing a hold of it…)
Flannery McCoy: SERENITY VALDEZ HAS THE STEEL CHAIN… AND SHE IS WRAPPING IT AROUND DIAMOND DIXON, BEFORE LOCKING IN A GUILLOTINE CHOKE! THAT IS A CHAIN-ASSISTED GUILLOTINE!!! We have never seen this before here in EAW, and Serenity is choking the life out of Diamond Dixon, but she is still trying to hold on! Dixon is still trying to hold on… but it may be too much for her! That chain is applying way too much pressure for Diamond Dixon to even reach or make any movement! Serenity has the guillotine in tight!
……………..
Jake Mercer: DIAMOND DIXON! SHE’S DONE! SHE’S TAPPING! THE REFEREE NOTICES THAT DIAMOND DIXON IS TAPPING AND HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO RING THE BELL! THIS MATCH IS OVER!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, AND STILL THE EAW SPECIALIST CHAMPION… SERENITY VALDEZ!!!!
(‘Demeanor’ begins to blast through the arena once again as boos pour down on the finish to the match. Serenity Valdez pulls herself back up to her feet, before being handed her Specialist Championship, and getting her arm raised by the referee in victory.)
Stew-O: WOW! This match brought these two Elitists completely out of their element in the form of the Submission Match stipulation, but in the end, Serenity Valdez had to quite literally choke the life out of Diamond Dixon in order to retain the Specialist Championship!
Flannery McCoy: Damaged shoulder or not, Diamond Dixon continued to get back up throughout the match, and it took a ‘Hit The Lights’ and then a chain-assisted guillotine choke in order for Diamond to finally have enough and tap in order to save her own damn life! Congratulations to the Champ on a successful defense!
(Serenity Valdez would continue to celebrate her victory, holding the Specialist Championship high in the air as the referee would continue to check on Diamond Dixon, Diamond still not moving in the middle of the ring. The final image is of Serenity holding the title high as the camera fades from there.)
(Poor Unfortunate Souls goes from the arena to the backstage area with Michael Belfort standing by alongside the team known as BULLETSTORM. SOSA Henderson and Aurora Monroe are seen rocking their best Friday night wear, stylish and fly as always, while Michael turns to the camera and offers a smile.)
Michael Belfort: Congratulations to Serenity Valdez on retaining the Specialists Championship, but right now I’d like to take the time to get some words with two Elitists who have taken the Dynasty brand by storm here tonight. My guests may not be competing, but that doesn’t mean that their impact cannot be felt here. Ever since they joined forces, SOSA Henderson and Aurora Monroe have consistently been one of the best tag teams competing here in EAW. They currently are in a heated feud with Soul Food Sunday who, earlier in the night, actually accepted your challenge to face them at Territorial Invasion. I, along with the EAW fans, just want to get an understanding of your headspace and how the two of you are feeling now that this match is official.
SOSA Henderson: Man, what can I say? Aurora and I are all fired up. We been wanting to get our hands on Viz and Astraea for the longest time now. Them two and their fool for a manager wanted to be all up in our grill and start problems for us, so now they’re gonna get dealt with. It was inevitable. All we needed was for Soul Food Sunday to accept the challenge and now that they did, we have a chance to beat them and really make a statement with them. Ain’t that right, Aurora?
Aurora Monroe: Oh, absolutely. SOSA and I have been on the fast track to becoming the most impressive tag team not just here on Dynasty, but in EAW as a whole. My potential and skills are limitless whereas SOSA is a made man. He knows what it’s like to win. We have the grit, the smarts, the strength, and the adaptability to make sure we remain one step ahead of everyone else. Soul Food Sunday aren’t the exception to that. In fact, as SOSA said, they were the ones who were trying us. SOSA and I were focused on just trying to get ourselves the title match were absolutely deserve to have, but Dr. D’Angelo Angelo and his two little lap dogs wanted to keep pressing our buttons. SOSA and I have no time to be playing games, and in a way, it’s a shame that Viz and Astraea insisted on getting on our bad sides. Still, with our upcoming encounter now being official, SOSA and I have the wonderful opportunity to show that they ought to be at the top of the pecking order. As annoying as they may be now, Viz and Astraea are household names. So, what better way to prove we’re at the top by beating two of the best and sending out a message for all of the other teams to read?
Michael Belfort: Well, at Midsummer Massacre, you went one-on-one with Astraea Jordan and, despite your efforts, lost the match. Soul Food Sunday has paraded that win around as something that makes them one step ahead of the two of you. As such, some people are wondering how the outcome will be any different if–
SOSA Henderson: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Nah fam, let’s not even do that!
(Aurora shakes her head and laughs.)
Aurora Monroe: Yeah, there’s no point in trying to entertain that sort of foolishness. It’s so predictable of them to try and treat that “win” as something that matters when really, it doesn’t. If people actually go to watch the match and not rely simply on what the record section tells them, they will see that Viz hurt my partner and went out of his way to distract me long enough for Miss Jordan to get the win. It was a set-up; a cheap one, at that. Really, it’s pathetic that those two had to stoop down so low to throw us off our game like that.
SOSA Henderson: For real. We off that. We not finna entertain clown stuff like that. It was a cheap tactic because they didn’t have faith in Astraea to get it done any other way. It’s all good though because they can run around with that fluke of a win while it lasts but after TI hits we’ll have a LEGIT victory to be proud of. If anything, they setting themselves up to get lit up by me and Aurora. All these tricks ain’t gonna help them when they gotta face us at Territorial Invasion.
(Aurora nods and gives SOSA a smile.)
Michael Belfort: You two certainly have your heads held high despite everything that’s been going on between you and Soul Food Sunday. Once everything gets settled and Territorial Invasion is over and done with, what will be next for the two of you?
(SOSA and Aurora exchange looks for a moment before Aurora speaks up.)
Aurora Monroe: Honestly? We have our eyes still set on the Unified Tag Team Championships. We never got the match we worked hard to get. Of course, Tyrone let us know how he felt about us. It may take us a while, but sooner or later, SOSA and I are going to have that match. Perhaps Territorial Invasion will convince him to give us that opportunity sooner rather than later, but who knows?
SOSA Henderson: We want it all. I don’t really care what that bald headed tap dancer of a GM has to say about it. We WILL become undeniable and we will earn those shots and win the titles before it’s all said and done. We gon make sure that the rest of the teams here know they we’re a force to be reckoned with. So much so that people will have no choice but to see us as the best tag team in this promotion. All these other teams can get pushed before us or whatever, but BULLETSTORM is gonna be more well-known than all of them. That’s a guarantee.
(SOSA and Aurora look confident. Michael nods and turns his attention back to the camera.)
Michael Belfort: Well, thank you two for taking your time to sit here and interview you. You two certainly have become an exciting team to watch. Good luck in the future.
Aurora Monroe: Thank you for having us, Michael.
SOSA Henderson: Yeah, it’s been a pleasure, my man. You stay cool, alright?
(Both members of BULLETSTORM take their leave, and with that the interview ends.)
(The camera cuts back to the center of the ring where Stephie Love is ready to announce the next contest.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(“Dead or Lie” by TRUSTRICK [english ver. by Jenny] starts playing as Limmy Monaghan enters the arena to cheers from the crowd. He does not waste a second as his eyes are locked on the ring as he makes his way to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first! Making his way to the ring! Residing in Beverly Hills, California. Weighing in at 227 pounds. Here is “THE LEADER” LIMMY MONAGHAN!
Stew-O: Here comes the man who will be leading the Dynasty trio at Territorial Invasion. Limmy Monaghan has improved by leaps and bounds over the years and has proven himself to be a very capable and high level competitor.
Jake Mercer: Yeah. Sure. Limmy’s good, but he’s no Visual Prophet.
Flannery McCoy: But Limmy has most definitely earned his spot as a current and future Main Eventer. And ever since Visual Prophet, for lack of a better term, screwed Limmy Monaghan at a shot at becoming World Champion, Viz has been doing everything within his power to keep Limmy down and match Limmy’s rise to stardom with an equally powerful fall.
Stew-O: The question is “Can Limmy take down and conquer the former 2-Time World Heavyweight Champion?”. I think Limmy can absolutely do it, but we’ll find out in a moment if dream can become reality as the opposition is about to make his appearance.
(Limmy enters the ring and takes his corner as his entrance music fades off. Seconds later, ‘Back To Life’ by Soul II Soul is heard blasting through the speakers of the arena as the camera goes over to show The Visual Prophet making his way out from the backstage area. Viz is flanked by Dr. Angelo D’Angelo and Astraea Jordan. He has a smirk on his face as he gyrates his hips before making his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing his opponent! Being accompanied to the ring by Dr. Angelo D’Angelo and Astraea Jordan. Representing Soul Food Sunday. Residing in Engadine, Michigan. Weighing in at 265 pounds. Here is “THE FOUNDER OF THE VISUAL PROPHET LEADERSHIP ACADEMY” THE VISUAL PROPHET!
Jake Mercer: EVERYBODY BE QUIET! VIZ IS HERE AND WE ARE BEING LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE GRACED WITH HIS PRESENCE!
Stew-O: That’s because he has a match.
Jake Mercer: I SAID SHUT UP!
Flannery McCoy: Try telling that to me…. That’s what I thought. Ever since The Visual Prophet cost Limmy his opportunity at Andre Walker, there has been bad blood brewing ever since.
Jake Mercer: I mean has Viz been wrong with everything he has said about Limmy?
Stew-O: Viz doesn’t think that Limmy is worthy or deserving of the spot he holds now. Limmy begs to differ. Will The Visual Prophet prove himself right and put Limmy in his place or will Limmy shut the mouth of the man who doubts his capabilities. We’re about to find out.
(Viz enters the ring as D’Angelo and Jordan take their place at ringside. Viz gyrates his hips once more as his music fades off. He takes his corner as the referee looks at both men before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go! Big match underway! Viz and Limmy finally meet in the ring officially. Limmy looking to lock up, BUT VIZ COMING STRONG RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE WITH A CLOTHESLINE CATCHING LIMMY UNDER THE THROAT!
Flannery McCoy: Viz will not be leaving anything to chance. He is right on the attack with boots to the back. Limmy trying to roll to the ropes and break away, but Viz is not giving him any room to breathe. Limmy makes it to the ropes and rolls out to the apron.
Jake Mercer: It doesn’t work as Viz grabs a handful of Limmy’s mop hair and brings him back into the ring. Limmy hands hard as Viz hits the ropes AND DROPS THE ELBOW ACROSS THE CHEST! THAT’S RIGHT!
Stew-O: Limmy struggling early on as Viz brings Limmy back to his feet and whips him to the ropes. Limmy with the rebound as Viz goes for a clothesline, BUT LIMMY GRABS THE ARM! LIMMY TRIES TO FLOAT OVER INTO A DDT, BUT VIZ CATCHES HIM AND PLANTS HIM WITH THE BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: Viz is one of the most creative and powerful Elitists on the roster. It’s hard to stay one step ahead of him, but Limmy needs to find a way to do that unless he wants to lose here tonight. Viz once again hits the ropes looking for a leg drop–
Jake Mercer: NOOOOO! LIMMY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND VIZ FINDS NOTHING BUT CANVAS! Limmy back to his feet and he is now delivering kicks right to Viz’s chest. The crowd is chanting yes for some reason as Limmy delivers one more kick to Viz’s face sending him back as he goes for the cover
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWW-
Stew-O: Barely a one count there as Viz quickly gets the shoulder up. Limmy now mounting Viz and THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHTS INTO VIZ’S FACE! But the more powerful Viz quickly throws Limmy off of him and makes it back to his feet. Limmy back up AND VIZ TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! WHAT A MOVE FROM VIZ!
Flannery McCoy: Not one of Viz’s usual moves, but it was effective. Limmy is down and he might be dazed as he hits the ropes again AND SQUASHES LIMMY WITH A BIG SPLASH! WHAT A MOVE FROM THE FORMER HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
Jake Mercer: Look at ringside where Dr. D’Angelo and Astraea are looking satisfied with Viz just destroying Limmy. Like anything else was expected to happen anyway. Viz could have gone for the cover, but instead he picks Limmy up and JUST THROWS HIM INTO THE NEAREST CORNER! WHAT POWER BY VIZ!
Stew-O: Limmy is using the top ropes to keep himself standing, BUT HE DOESN’T SEE VIZ RUNNING IN AT FULL SPEED! VIZ LOOKING TO SPLASH LIMMY IN THE CORNER–
Flannery McCoy: LIMMY MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AND VIZ FOUND NOTHING BUT THE TURNBUCKLES! Viz staggers out of the corner and Limmy jumps to the second rope. Facelock on Viz and LIMMY JUMPS FOR A TORNADO DDT, BUT VIZ IS STILL TOO POWERFUL AS HE HOLDS LIMMY IN THE AIR!
Jake Mercer: VIZ ONCE AGAIN SHOWING WHY HE IS THE BEST AS HE BACKDROPS LIMMY BEHIND HIM… WAIT! LIMMY HELD ONTO VIZ’S HEAD AND COUNTERS WITH A NECKBREAKER! OK. That one wasn’t too bad. Innovative by Limmy.
Stew-O: Thanks for your unbiased commentating, Jake. But Limmy did take Viz down to the mat with that neckbreaker counter and now Limmy climbs up to the second turnbuckle. LIMMY WITH A SOMERSAULT AND THEN HE HITS THE LEG DROP FROM THE SECOND ROPE! WHAT A MOVE BY LIMMY AS HE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
Flannery McCoy: Viz is still too strong with a kickout after two! It’s still too soon in the match to finish him off that easily. Limmy brings Viz back up to his feet and fires kick after kick to Viz’s midsection. Limmy tries to send Viz into the ropes, but Viz counters–
Jake Mercer: DID YOU SEE THAT? THE FORCE OF VIZ’S IRISH WHIPS SENDS LIMMY OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR! LIMMY LANDED HARD WHEN HE HIT THE FLOOR!
Stew-O: Soul Food Sunday keeping their distance as Viz exits the ring and grabs Limmy by the hair and drags him closer to the ring steps. What does Viz have going on his mind?
Flannery McCoy: Something devious or painful or both. He still has a handful of Limmy’s hair and VIZ JUST STARTS SPINNING! REVERSE GIANT SWING BY VIZ!
Jake Mercer: THIS IS GREAT! LIMMY SPINNING FASTER THAN THE TEACUP RIDE! WHEN WILL VIZ STOP? WHO KNOWS?
Stew-O: HE DOESN’T STOP! VIZ JUST LETS LIMMY GO AND HE JUST CRASHES AND BURNS RIGHT ON THE RING STEPS!
Flannery McCoy: Limmy got some hang time before he hit the ring steps and he might have caught his face on the steps. I don’t know and Viz doesn’t care. Viz has been in control since the bell rang and he grabs Limmy once again and brings him to his feet.
Jake Mercer: Viz has Limmy in position to slam him into the ring post and take out most of Limmy’s arsenal. VIZ FULL SPEED TO THE RINGPOST—
Stew-O: LIMMY GOT FREE! LIMMY WITH THE ARM SCISSOR AND THAT SENDS VIZ FACE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST! Limmy heard the referee’s count as he quickly scrambles back into the ring to break the count to prevent the match ending prematurely.
Flannery McCoy: But Limmy rolls right back onto the ring apron AND TAKES VIZ DOWN WITH A SLINGBLADE FROM THE RING APRON SENDING VIZ CRASHING TO THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF US!
Jake Mercer: Limmy starting to build momentum now that he has broken free of the offense of Viz, but Limmy still has a long way to go before this match is over. Limmy brings Viz to his knees and HE SMASHES VIZ’S FACE AGAINST THE RING STEPS! Not cool!
Stew-O: Turnabout is fair play. Limmy bounces Viz’s face off the ring steps a few more times before bringing him back to his and rolls him in the ring before the ref’s count gets too high again. LIMMY JUMPS ON THE ROPES FROM THE APRON AND HITS VIZ WITH A SPRINGBOARD DOUBLE STOMP! BOOTS RIGHT IN VIZ’S CHEST AS LIMMY HOOKS THE LEG!
OONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOO!!
THHHHHRRR-
Jake Mercer: Of course Viz was going to kick out. Like anybody had any doubt. I’ll give it to Limmy that he is still fighting to put Viz down for good. It just hasn’t worked just yet. Now look at Limmy push Viz on his stomach and pulls his arms back in almost a surfboard style submission.
Flannery McCoy: This won’t necessarily get Viz to submit, but it will weaken Viz up a little bit in order to set up for one of Limmy’s bigger moves.
Stew-O: Limmy keeps pulling Viz back and the referee is asking if Viz wants to give it up. Viz is just giving the referee a look of wonder as if the referee is missing some brain cells.
Flannery McCoy: Is the word submit even in Viz’s vocabulary? I highly doubt that. Limmy puts his boot in the back of Viz’s head AND SLAMS VIZ FACE FIRST TO THE MAT WITH A MODIFIED CURB STOMP!
Jake Mercer: I think all that did was make Viz more annoyed than anything else. Limmy now trying to bring Viz back up BUT VIZ COUNTERS WITH A JAWBREAKER STAGGERING LIMMY!
Stew-O: Limmy comes running back in and VIZ JUST STOPS HIM IN HIS TRACKS WITH A SPINE SHAKING SPINEBUSTER! THE BACK OF LIMMY’S HEAD SNAPS BACK AGAINST THE CANVAS AS VIZ GOES FOR HIS FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH!!
ONNNNNNNEEEE!
TWWWWOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEE-
Flannery McCoy: LIMMY SHOOTS THAT RIGHT SHOULDER UP AT TWO! Monaghan is not going to be taken out that easily with how hard he has been working.
Jake Mercer: Yeah, he’s been working hard, but does anybody believe that it will be enough? Anybody else? Yes. The Visual Prophet? Possible, but I highly doubt it. Now it’s time for The Visual Prophet to get down to business.
Stew-O: Viz is very dangerous when he gets into that no nonsense attitude. He brings Limmy back up to his feet and HE JUST SLAPS LIMMY ACROSS THE FACE! OHHHH LIMMY DIDN’T LIKE THAT ONE BIT! Viz doesn’t care and he throws a forearm into Limmy and sends him back.
Flannery McCoy: Viz comes back with another forearm and that sends Limmy back into the ropes. Viz runs full speed AND HE JUST CLOTHESLINES LIMMY OVER THE TOP ROPE BUT LIMMY LANDS ON THE APRON!
Jake Mercer: Leave it to Viz to be one step ahead because as soon as he landed, Viz came back and delivered a baseball slide dropkick sending Limmy right back to the ringside floor. This time Viz lets the referee administer the ten count.
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE!
Stew-O: Limmy slowly moving and doing whatever he can to make it back to his feet in time. Soul Food Sunday is watching close by, but wisely keeping their distance.
Referee: (off-mic) FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
Flannery McCoy: It took Limmy a bit, but he is back to his feet. His equilibrium is off because of those two back to back moves from Viz. Limmy was very close to falling right back to the ground.
Referee: (off-mic) SEVEN! EIGHT!
Jake Mercer: Limmy breaks the count at eight by diving through the ropes to get back into the ring, BUT THERE IS VIZ WITH A BIG SPLASH RIGHT ON LIMMY’S BACK! That one had to hurt because that one got a look of pain across Limmy’s face.
Stew-O: Limmy holding his back as Viz is now looking to slow the pace down a bit by grabbing Limmy’s ankles and applying a modified Boston Crab. Viz willing to dig deep into his arsenal and torture Limmy.
Flannery McCoy: Viz just keeps stepping farther and farther back and putting a worse torque on Limmy’s back. LOOK AT LIMMY! LIMMY IS ABOUT TO BE STANDING RIGHT ON HIS HEAD! THE REFEREE IS ASKING IF LIMMY WANTS TO GIVE IT UP, BUT LIMMY IS STILL FIGHTING!
Jake Mercer: This is perfect by Viz. With the angle that Limmy is in right now, he can’t drag himself to the ropes. That might only leave Limmy with only two choices: either tap out or pass out. Limmy better think of something and find a way to get free or this match is going to be all but over.
Stew-O: I think you spoke too soon. LIMMY WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER HIMSELF ON HIS BACK AND KICK VIZ AWAY AND GET FREE! INNOVATIVE MOVE BY LIMMY MONAGHAN! He is still in this match.
Flannery McCoy: But look at Viz! Viz comes right back and almost deadlifts Limmy from the floor back to his feet. He whips Limmy to the ropes and right into the corner. Viz following close behind AND HE JUST SPLASHES LIMMY IN THE CORNER! Limmy stumbles out of the corner and falls to his knees.
Jake Mercer: Now Viz is now getting up on the second rope… NOPE! VIZ IS GOING TO THE TOP ROPE! RARE TERRITORY FOR THE VISUAL PROPHET AS LIMMY GETS BACK TO HIS FEET AND TURNS AROUND—
Stew-O: DIVING CLOTHESLINE FROM THE TOP ROPE BY THE VISUAL PROPHET AND HE GOT ALL OF IT! LIMMY ABOUT TURNED INSIDE OUT AS VIZ STACKS HIM UP FOR THE COVER! THIS COULD BE IT!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEE!!
Jake Mercer: LIMMY KICKS OUT AT TWO! Viz was so close to picking up the win as the referee’s hand was coming down for the three and Limmy found the strength to kick out of the cover. How did he find that strength?
Flannery McCoy: That’s because he is a hard working and determined competitor. Limmy is the type of fighter who will keep going until his body absolutely gives out. You have to give it to both competitors in this match. Limmy and Viz are both getting as well as they are giving.
Stew-O: Viz is up to his feet and Limmy is slowly following as he is still feeling that high impact clothesline from just moments ago. Viz kicks Limmy and doubles him over before hooking his arms and lifting him up for the suplex.
Flannery McCoy: BUT VIZ IS KEEPING HIM UP IN THE AIR! Normally Viz drops opponents quickly with the underhook suplex, but now we have a delayed version on display. Viz once again showing his power advantage to this sold out crowd.
Jake Mercer: Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, six… NOW HE DROPS LIMMY WITH THE SUPLEX ! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE PULLING OUT ALL STOPS TO WIN THIS MATCH! Limmy is back down on the mat and Viz starts gyrating his hips to the crowd.
Stew-O: Viz taking a quick second to showboat to the crowd who really don’t appreciate that one bit, especially since it’s right in the middle of the match. Viz might think he has the win right now. So does Dr. Angelo D’Angelo and Astraea Jordan. Smiles on their faces watching Viz take control of this match.
Flannery McCoy: Viz grabs Limmy by the hair bringing him back to his feet and whips Limmy into the corner. Viz going for a splash, BUT LIMMY GETS A BOOT UP AND VIZ CATCHES IT RIGHT IN THE JAW!
Stew-O: Limmy climbs up to the second rope and jumps BUT VIZ CATCHES HIM! THIS WILL NOT BE GOOD! VIZ NOW PUTS LIMMY ON HIS SHOULDERS BEFORE HOISTING HIM UP IN THE AIR! MILITARY PRESS BY THE VISUAL PROPHET WITH ANOTHER SHOW OF STRENGTH AND POWER!
Jake Mercer: There’s only one way for Limmy to go and that’s down! THAT’S EXACTLY WHERE LIMMY IS GOING! VIZ DROPS LIMMY BACK ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND ALMOST CARTWHEELS AND SLAMS LIMMY INTO THE MAT! THAT’S THE PROPHET DRIVER! DREAM VALLEY DRIVER CONNECTS! This could be enough right here as Viz goes for the cover.
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THHHHHRRRRRREEEEE!!
Stew-O: HE GOT THE SHOULDER UP! LIMMY GOT THE SHOULDER UP AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND! If Viz is shocked, then he is not showing that at all. But I think Viz is more than happy to inflict more pain on Limmy Monaghan.
Flannery McCoy: Limmy still hasn’t moved much after the Prophet Driver, but Viz pulls Limmy up by the hair and snapmares Limmy over by the hair over and over again. If Limmy wasn’t dizzy before, he is now with the number of times Viz has snapmared him over.
Jake Mercer: Viz does one more snapmare putting Limmy in a sitting position before hitting the ropes. Viz rebounds AND VIZ WITH A DROPKICK RIGHT TO LIMMY’S FACE SENDING LIMMY TUMBLING HEAD OVER HEELS BEFORE LANDING IN THE ROPES!
Flannery McCoy: Viz pulls him back up to his feet AND VIZ JUST SHOVES HIM BACK DOWN TO THE MAT! Limmy slowly gets back up to his feet again AND VIZ SHOVES HIM DOWN AGAIN! LIMMY IS GETTING MORE AND MORE ANGRY BY THE SECOND!
Jake Mercer: Yet Limmy gets back to his feet again and VIZ SHOVES HIM BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS ONE MORE TIME! Sure Limmy is getting mad with the disrespect being shown to him right now. Limmy is back up one more time and he looks like he is about to explode….
Stew-O: AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED! LIMMY WITH A SPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE TAKING VIZ DOWN! LIMMY IS THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHTS INTO VIZ’S FACE! Just like earlier in the match, Viz shoves Limmy off of him and gets back to his feet–
Flannery McCoy: BUT LIMMY WITH ANOTHER SPEAR SENDING BOTH MEN THROUGH THE ROPES AND BOTH MEN TUMBLE RIGHT BACK TO FLOOR IN FRONT OF US! Whatever Viz did must have set off the second wind button on Limmy because he is on fire.
Jake Mercer: Limmy rolls back into the ring and quickly hits the ropes. Limmy with a rebound at full speed as Viz gets back up to his feet AND LIMMY WITH A TOPE CON HILO OVER THE TOP ROPE! RIGHT ON TARGET AS LIMMY TAKES VIZ RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE FLOOR! WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Stew-O: Limmy is on fire right now. That’s what’s happening right now. Listen to this crowd go absolutely crazy for Limmy Monaghan right now. The Visual Prophet tried to make his life a literal nightmare. Everything inside Limmy has been building up to this moment.
Flannery McCoy: Limmy hasn’t had very many opportunities to get much momentum built up in this match. This is Limmy’s chance and he is going to make the most of it right here and right now. Limmy brings Viz back to his feet. He looked to be trying to lift him up but instead LIMMY RUNS STRAIGHT FORWARD AND SENDS VIZ BACK FIRST INTO THE RING APRON– THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING!
Jake Mercer: Limmy pushes Viz back into the ring and he quickly follows. Viz gets back up to his feet and he turns right around INTO A SUPERKICK FROM LIMMY MONAGHAN! VIZ DID NOT SEE THAT COMING AT ALL BUT VIZ IS STILL STANDING!
Stew-O: LIMMY SEES THAT AND HE FIRES ANOTHER SUPERKICK RIGHT TO VIZ’S JAW AND HE’S STILL ON HIS FEET! Limmy with a kick to the gut before hitting the ropes AND CATCHES VIZ RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! HOWITZER IMPACT SENDS VIZ SNAPPING BACK! Limmy doesn’t waste a second as he hooks the legs and goes for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!
Flannery McCoy: VIZ GETS THAT SHOULDER UP AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND! Limmy falls back to the mat. He has got to be wondering what else he has to do to put The Visual Prophet away. Limmy fired off two superkicks and the Howitzer Impact and only got two.
Jake Mercer: As much as I am acknowledging Visual Prophet and his amazing resume, I can relent that Limmy Monaghan has been putting up a fight in this match. Many people who have faced the Visual Prophet have never managed to make it this long. I can give Limmy that much.
Stew-O: Limmy brings Viz back to his feet and grabs his head. Limmy could be looking for a bulldog or his headlock driver, but we will not find out AS VIZ LIFTS LIMMY BACK UP AND PLANTS HIM WITH A BACK SUPLEX! LIMMY LANDING HARD ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK!
Flannery McCoy: Quickly the momentum turns back towards the Visual Prophet. Limmy still down as VIZ DROPS AND ELBOW ACROSS LIMMY’S CHEST! Viz now brings Limmy back to his feet and puts him back on his shoulders.
Jake Mercer: Do we have another Prophet Driver on the horizon? NO! AIRPLANE SPIN BY THE VISUAL PROPHET! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE ARE WITNESSING AIR BAE GETTING READY TO TAKE FLIGHT! VIZ IS STILL GOING! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN!
Stew-O: Limmy dropped back to the mat and instead of moving, Viz stands in place for a second to get his bearings and shake away the dizziness before climbing back up to the top rope. Viz only goes up to the top rope for his most impactful moves and he is about to hit another one right now.
Flannery McCoy: He just pointed to his elbow! That means he is going for the Bow to the Heart! No cupid here, especially if Viz hits this elbow drop. If Viz hits the bullseye, Limmy is pretty much done. HERE COMES VIZ! ELBOW DROP ON THE WAY! BOW TO THE HEART ON THE WAY–
Jake Mercer: LIMMY MOVED OUT OF THE WAY! VIZ! LOOK OUT! BUT, SADLY, IT’S TOO LATE AND VIZ JUST CRASHES AND BURNS RIGHT ON THE MAT! Viz scrambles back to his feet holding his elbow in pain and here comes Limmy.
Stew-O: Limmy lifts up Viz, looking for an Alabama Slam type move BUT HE GRABS VIZ’S ANKLES AND JUST DROPS DOWN TO HIS KNEES ON THE CANVAS! BELLY TO BACK PILEDRIVER AND VIZ LANDS RIGHT ON HIS NECK! THAT’S THE BERMUDA’S END!
Flannery McCoy: That was a horrible landing for Viz, but Limmy stays in the position as the referee checks Viz’s shoulders. The shoulders are down and we have a pin cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEE!!
Jake Mercer: Viz gets the shoulder up! The referee was a little slow on the count, but I don’t think that Viz is going to complain but Limmy is back up to his feet and he brings Viz back up as well.
Stew-O: Limmy with a facelock looking to go for a fisherman’s suplex or fisherman’s buster. Limmy has him up BUT HIS BACK GAVE OUT! LIMMY COULDN’T GET VIZ UP ALL THE WAY THANKS TO ALL THE DAMAGE VIZ DID EARLIER, BUT VIZ CHANGES MOMENTUM YET AGAIN AND COUNTERS WITH A DDT! LIMMY SPIKED RIGHT ON THIS HEAD!
Flannery McCoy: Limmy back down to the mat and Viz is going on another form of attack. Viz grabs Limmy’s leg AND SNAPS BACK DDT STYLE DRIVING LIMMY’S ANKLE RIGHT INTO THE MAT! LIMMY HOLDS HIS ANKLE IN PAIN!
Stew-O: Viz was trying to go for the pinfall and it has not been successful as of yet so now he’s going to go for the definitive submission win. Viz is now trying to weaken Limmy’s ankle as Viz grabs Limmy’s leg again AND SNAPS BACK AGAIN!
Flannery McCoy: VIZ THINKS HE’S DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE AS HE GRABS LIMMY’S LEG AND ANKLE LOOKING FOR THE VIZ LOCK ANKLE LOCK, BUT LIMMY QUICKLY SCRAMBLES BACK UP TO HIS FOOT! LIMMY IS HOPPING AND HOPPING ON HIS FREE LEG BEFORE CATCHING VIZ WITH AN ENZUIGIRI!
Stew-O: VIZ STAGGERED BUT STILL ON HIS FEET AS LIMMY STANDS ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! LIMMY SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE BOTTOM ROPE AND GRABS VIZ’S HEAD BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A BEAUTIFUL TORNADO DDT!
Jake Mercer: VIZ WAS PLANTED WITH THAT TORNADO DDT AND HE IS DOWN! LIMMY SEES AN OPPORTUNITY AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S ABOUT TO GO UP TO THE HIGH RENT DISTRICT AND HEADING UP TO THE TOP ROPE… WAIT A SECOND!
Stew-O: LIMMY WAS ON HIS WAY TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, BUT VIZ WAS PLAYING POSSUM! VIZ CLOBBERS LIMMY IN THE BACK AND SLIPS UNDER HIM! VIZ PULLS LIMMY FROM THE TURNBUCKLE AND VIZ JUST PLANTED LIMMY WITH A POWERBOMB!
Flannery McCoy: WHAT A POWERBOMB FROM VIZ! LIMMY WAS TURNED INSIDE OUT AND HE MIGHT BE ON DREAM STREET RIGHT NOW AS VIZ SLOWLY PULLS LIMMY BACK TO HIS FEET! WHAT? VIZ IS HOLDING LIMMY’S HEAD!
Jake Mercer: THERE IT IS! A KISS TO LIMMY’S FOREHEAD! THIS MATCH IS ABOUT OVER! LIMMY PUSHED BACK UP AND HE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER KISS TO THE HEAD FOR LIMMY! GET READY FOR YOUR LONG KISS GOODNIGHT LIMMY! HERE COMES THE BULLHAMMER ELBOW FROM VIZ—
Stew-O: WHAT THE? BLOODCURDLE OUT OF NOWHERE! LIMMY CAUGHT VIZ RIGHT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THAT SPINNING BACK ELBOW! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM! VIZ IS DOWN AND MAYBE OUT AS LIMMY SCRAMBLES INTO THE COVER! WILL IT BE ENOUGH?
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
( “Dead or Lie” by TRUSTRICK [english ver. by Jenny] starts playing throughout the arena again as Limmy rolls off of Viz and slowly tries to make it back to his feet.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen. The winner of this contest… LIMMY MONAGHAN!
Stew-O: HE DID IT! LIMMY DID IT! This is a very huge victory for Limmy as he silenced any doubters that remained about his current spot in the company. Some people would call this an upset, but I’m not one of them. It was a very hard fought and competitive match that either man could have won here tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: But I am! Of course that was an upset win. We are talking about THE VISUAL PROPHET HERE! The Visual Prophet just got beat by a man with a mop on his head. Viz is not going to be very happy about this.
(Limmy finally makes it back to his feet as the referee raises Limmy’s arm in victory to the loud cheers from the crowd as he slowly leaves the ring and D’Angelo and Jordan enter the ring to check on Viz.)
Flannery McCoy: I don’t understand your negativity towards Limmy. Both men fought very hard and showed why they are some of the best EAW has to offer. Neither person wanted to lose, but unfortunately somebody did. Viz had the match won on many occasions, but the heart, determination, and creativity that is Limmy Monaghan put him over the top and gave him a very big win.
Stew-O: You gotta hand it to Viz. He showed once again why he is a multiple time World Champion and one of the best in EAW today. We can’t and won’t take anything away from him, but tonight wasn’t his night. Tonight belongs to Limmy Monaghan and congratulations once again for a very hard fought victory tonight.
(The final shot shows Limmy standing at the top of the entrance ramp soaking in the victory and the adoration from the crowd as Viz is helped to his feet by Astraea and Dr. Angelo D’Angelo. All three are shooting a glare up the entrance ramp watching Limmy celebrate as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for Territorial Invasion showcasing Anarchy in The Arena and the Brand Warfare matchup.)
( Poor Unfortunate Souls returns from break and the camera cuts to Stephie Love for what should very well be the final time tonight. )
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… IT’S TIME FOR OUR MA-
( The ring announcer is abruptly cut off as ‘Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)’ by Beyoncé begins to blast across the PA system. The fans react with a bit of shock as they hurry to their feet and greet the one and only… Kassidy Heart. )
Stephie Love: O. Uhhh… LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… PLEASE WELCOME ‘THE MAULER’ KASSIDY HEART!
( A mix of boos and cheers fill the arena as the polarizing Showdown Elitist and Hall of Famer walks onto the stage. Kassidy is all business, wearing a white, wide-legged, strapless jumpsuit from Petal & Pup and black Louboutin heels. Her dark hair is slicked back and pulled into a high, sleek pony, and her look is complete with delicate gold hoop earrings and matching gold choker. As usual, the former world champion pays the crowd no attention and wastes very little time on her way to the ring. )
Stew-O: I have to say this is a bit of a surprise, guys. Kassidy Heart was not advertised to be here tonight, but it seems like she’s decided to show up. I can only speculate on what she’s got on her mind right now, and I’m sure it has everything to do with a recently returned Elitist.
Flannery McCoy: Oh no doubt. I don’t think anyone expected for Kassidy Heart to sit back and let Serena Bennett do what she pleases. Before the Universal Women’s Championship match on Showdown last week, Kassidy confronted Andrea Valentine about what went down between the two of them at Pain for Pride and in no uncertain terms challenged Andrea to a championship match assuming she would get past the champion, Harper Lee.
Jake Mercer: However Serena had other plans :blessed:!!!! She showed up and attacked Andrea, brutally beating her and costing her the match, which allowed Harper Lee to retain the Universal Women’s Championship. The look on Kassidy’s face was pretty priceless when all that was going down :wow:.
( Kassidy is inside the ring now and she plucks the microphone from Stephie’s hands. She shoos her right out of the ring and twirls the microphone as her music fades out. There’s not a single hint of a smile on Kassidy’s face and obviously, everyone is waiting to hear what she has to say. As the arena falls silent and her music is cut, Kassidy stares right into the camera. )
Kassidy Heart: Surprise.
( Some members of the audience cheer, but the majority have settled back down in their seats and gotten quiet. Someone like Kassidy wouldn’t show up on Dynasty unless she had a legitimate motive, and from the look on her face, it’s obvious that ‘The Mauler’ has something she wants to say. )
Kassidy Heart: After all the B.S. that has transpired this past week, none of you should be shocked to see me here tonight. To the surprise of absolutely no one, I don’t really have a high opinion on the return of Serena Bennett. It goes without saying that I have absolutely no respect for quitters and there is no better word to describe the bitch other than that. Serena is a quitter and a coward, and the way she inserted herself into my business with Andrea on last week’s Showdown is something I’m not happy about whatsoever. It’s one thing to show up on Dynasty and latch onto Viz and Astraea, as if anyone sees Serena as anything other than a third wheel to them anyway, but it’s another thing to meddle in my business and then show up on Voltage to brag about it. It’s hilarious that it took all of 72-hours for Serena to remind everyone that she’s an unbearable, delusional cunt who is better off dead, and honestly, I expected nothing less. Anything for attention, right?
( Kassidy can’t help but roll her eyes in disgust. )
Kassidy Heart: Call me crazy, but I really can’t wrap my head around why Serena has decided to return after literally disgracing herself for several months in a backyard wrestling federation that is full of second-rate, rejected wrestlers who wish to Gawd they would have gotten that #EAW15 phone-call back in January. It’s truly baffling that she believes this place still needs her and it’s even more insane for her to expect that she’s going to be allowed to just pick up right where she left off. Twice this bitch packed her bags and left, for whatever dumb, personal reason, and she’s going to have a hell of a time getting back in the swing of things here when the women’s division is more competitive than it’s ever been. Some moronic Disney executive might have taken a page out of Fox’s playbook and handpicked Serena to make a return, just like she was handpicked to have a job years ago, but things aren’t going to be all sunshine and roses for the bitch this time around. Imagine being given everything this company could ever offer you, including a huge platform to spread your message and raise awareness, and throwing it back in the face of everyone who trusted you and believed in you. Could never be me, and despite what you idiots might think of me and my attitude, I have NEVER quit on this company, let alone done it twice. I don’t make it a habit to bite the hand that feeds me, and I’m certainly not going to let someone like Serena get away with screwing me out of a match and an opportunity that I absolutely deserved to have. You would have thought that after I mauled her ass three years ago at Operation: Doomsday, when she was at the height of her popularity, she would have known better than to get herself involved with me, but here we are. Dumb cunts who let their egos write checks they can’t cash never learn their lessons.
Kassidy Heart: I’m sure Serena thought that she could waltz back in here and immediately find herself at a top level, but that’s really not going to be the case. For one, there is no man or woman in this company that is at the same level as me. I’m that fucking good at what I do, and there’s NOTHING anyone can say or do that will ever make me think anything differently. There’s certainly nothing Serena can do because no matter how badly she wants to stir the pot and create drama, she’s NEVER going to be seen in a positive light by anyone who matters here ever again. I’m telling you all right now that Serena starting shit with me isn’t going to up her value or give her a chance to return to EAW in a blaze of glory by making her name off of professional wrestling’s biggest star. All it’s going to do is knock her down a peg or two, or ten, and leave her even worse off than she was before. She really has a lot of audacity to even show back up after two disgraceful exits and a legacy she torpedoed by showing up in another company under the guise of apparently wanting to end systematic racism. Imagine thinking you can save the entire industry by showing up at the bargain bin, bootleg EAW. Imagine thinking the rest of the world is stupid enough to believe that was really the motive! We all know Serena decided to jump ship and fuck off to a smaller pond, thinking she would be the big, bad shark there because there’s less pressure to perform at a high level, because she’s fucking fragile and mentally weak. Funny part of that is she couldn’t even succeed there or make any sort of impact, and left with egg on her face. Love that she came crawling back the first chance she got. Love that she traded her Jaxon 5 membership for a Soul Food Sunday one, knowing that Viz and Astraea would be happy to carry her. At least she doesn’t have to carry the other Aria’s bags anymore!
Kassidy Heart: Regardless of what crew Serena decides to run behind this time around, or if she ventures out on her own, she will never be able to fuck with me. I am the greatest and most accomplished female to ever step foot inside of EAW and no one had to leave this place in order for me to do that. I’ve been setting myself apart since the Spring of 2018 and no one is ever going to be able to duplicate the success I’ve had and the mark I’ve left on this business. My legacy is cemented in stone and believe me, I’m far from done. A lot of you idiots are trying my patience right now, Serena most of all, but I’m ready to squash that once and for all. I may not be dressed for a fight tonight because Daddygawd and I have dinner plans, but that doesn’t mean I’m not ready to throw down whenever and wherever. The ball’s in your court, bitch.
( The crowd erupts as Kassidy lowers the microphone and starts to remove her earrings. Nothing says a woman is ready to fight more than taking out her earrings. Unfortunately, the cheers are short-lived as Dynasty General Manager, Tyrone Montgomery, makes his way out onto the stage instead. He produces his own microphone and flashes Kassidy a smile. )
Tyrone Montgomery: Before I go any further, I would like to remind you that Disney does not tolerate the rather colorful language you decided to use just now. While Disney encourages everyone to be their authentic self, the family friendly guidelines we have put in place must be respected.
( An arrogant smile crosses Kassidy’s face and she licks her ruby red lips. )
Kassidy Heart: I’ll make sure to head to the Chairman’s office right after we’re finished and issue him a personal apology for my rather offensive language. I’m sure he will be able to think of a rather appropriate punishment for me and I’ll make sure to thank him for correcting me.
Tyrone Montgomer: :roman:
Kassidy Heart: Now where the hell is Serena?
( Having been caught off guard by witnessing Kassidy’s crudeness and lack of respect for anyone not named DDD in person, Tyrone take a moment to recover. )
Kassidy Heart: Well??
Tyrone Montgomery: Serena has already left for the night. She had to catch a flight back to Los Angeles to finish up her deal with Disney to star in the ‘Mandalorian’.
( Unable to help herself, Kassidy lets out a cold, harsh laugh. )
Kassidy Heart: Of course. Well since you’re out here and already handing your new pet things she doesn’t deserve, you can give her this message for me. You tell Serena that since she loves to hear herself talk and has no problem showing up to other shows uninvited that when she actually wants to see me face to face, she knows where to find me.
Tyrone Montgomery: :mjgrin: Well, Serena had a hunch you might be feeling some type of way, and would want the smoke, letting me know she wants it just as much, so how about the two of you not only come face to face, but give the EAW Universe what they want which is what I’m sure will be another Match of the Year between the two of you?
( Kassidy raises an eyebrow. )
Kassidy Heart: You know what’s funny? Earlier this year when the whole #EAW15 thing was running rampant, there were rumors all around that Aria would be returning and facing off against me in a match sometime during the fall or winter after she gave birth and recovered. In the back of my cute little crazy mind, I was expecting that match and not one against the EAW knock-off version who cosplayed as Astraea Jordan in that other place and fetched the OG’s coffee. Funny how life works out, right?
( Tyrone’s smile, albeit a forced one now, stays frozen in place as Kassidy’s cruel blue eyes narrow to tiny slits and she practically growls into the microphone. )
Kassidy Heart: Tell the cunt I’ll see her at Territorial Invasion if she hasn’t quit by then.
( Kassidy’s theme music hits and she drops the microphone. The audience is obviously beside themselves. A match between Kassidy Heart and Serena Bennett is money and they’re more than happy to throw theirs at them. Tyrone meets Kassidy’s gaze and nods his head, knowing that Hurricane Hawk and Heidi Huxley will no doubt agree to this blockbuster of a match, so he all but makes it official. As Kassidy poses for the crowd, Poor Unfortunate Souls fades to a break. )
(A commercial is shown advertising Voltage’s Rise of The Resistance Supershow, featuring the headliner of Minerva defending her EAW World Championship against Daryl Kinkade.)
(The camera fades into the arena, with the shot focusing on Stephie Love standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand, ready to announce the final match of the night right here.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a TRIPLE THREAT MATCH!!! And it is for… the EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘2nd Sucks’ by A Day To Remember is heard playing up, with the crowd responding in the form of loud boos while the camera goes over to the stage to reveal Ruler beginning to make his way out. He keeps his gaze focused intently on the ring, determined and unfazed by the crowd’s reaction toward him. He then begins to make his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challengers… from The Reserved… weighing in at 220 pounds… ‘THE MONARCH OF AGONY’… RULER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: This Season the Friday Night Dynasty brand has gotten the opportunity to house some amazing Elitists under their roof. With that, only a small few are able to take that top spot, and Ruler has been one of the few people that have come to prominence and seized the opportunity for himself.
Flannery McCoy: A few weeks back he lost the opportunity to stop history from unfolding and become the Interwire Champion, but now he steps into Poor Unfortunate Souls tonight with another opportunity to do so and win his first Championship in EAW. Can he do so? Well, with how motivated he’s been as of late and the fire that he’s had leading into this match, if there’s one thing I can say for certain, it is definitely not out of the picture.
Jake Mercer: With the voices in his head leading the way, or voice, I don’t know maybe he has a few… Ruler has the chance to make good on his word here tonight. Let’s see if he’ll be able to do that.
(‘No Messiah’ by Bad Wolves is then heard blasting through the speakers with a mixture of cheers and boos as Joso is seen energetically beginning to make his way out from the backstage area. He takes a circle around the stage while hyping up the crowd tonight before turning toward the ring. He makes a Championship gesture around his waist before then beginning to make his way to the ring.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… from Bronx, New York… weighing in at 206 pounds… ‘THE NEW ERA’… JOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Now THIS is someone I can get behind. HE DON’T MISS! JOSOI THE NEW ERA! THE GOAT! THIS IS A MAN I CAN SEE BEATING THE CHAMPION TONIGHT!
Stew-O: Despite Jake’s obvious bias, I don’t think I can deny that either. Ever since winning the New Era Classic, and even before that, Joso has been firing on all cylinders in hopes of making a name for himself and stepping up to the plate. It’s led him to this moment in time where he has the opportunity to fight for the Interwire Championship, so certainly it’s done him some good.
Flannery McCoy: This could very well be the biggest opportunity of his young career, and if he can capitalize on that and win big here tonight he could very well be on the fast track to checking all the boxes as promised. There is no denying that Joso has talked the talk and walked the walk, but especially on a stage like this, can he bring it?
(‘Leaving Caladan’ by Hans Zimmer then begins to play up with the camera showing Andre Walker and Albert Hitchman beginning to make their way out. Albert has the World Heavyweight Championship and Interwire Championship in hand, handing both to Andre which he raises up in the air with pyro shooting out behind him. He then brings them down onto his shoulders while Albert then takes his leave, with Andre beginning to make his way down the ramp from there.)
Stephie Love: Lastly… from The Isle of Samoa… weighing in at 245 pounds… he is the EAW UNDISPUTED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!! ‘THE KAISER’… ANDRE WALKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: I couldn’t be able to name anyone who’s been more dominant than Andre Walker these past few months. Who can say that they hold the two singles Championships that are designated to this brand and who can say that they’ve done so as dominantly as Andre has? He’s been undefeated the entirety of 2022 and has closed Pain For Pride breaking barriers and making history on more than one occasion. He’s living a life that’s simply a fever dream for the others that look up to him.
Flannery McCoy: But tonight has to be one of the tensest Championship defenses that he has yet, especially considering the reign that he’s on. Just a few weeks ago he broke the record for the longest reigning Interwire Champion of all time, and while he vacated the New Breed Championship when he did the same, that might not be an option this time around. He walks in a man on a mission, but does he walk out the same? That’s something that we’ll just have to find out.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen it is officially underway. Tonight is make or break for Andre Walker’s historic Interwire Championship reign as he goes up against Joso and Ruler in a triple threat match, and the anticipation is definitely through the roof for this one. Andre is beginning to make his way out of the corner- BUT RULER IMMEDIATELY RUSHES ANDRE AND CONNECTS WITH A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE SENDING HIM BACK INTO THE CORNER! Andre takes the hit and falls back into the corner, while Joso continues his attack by stepping forward and throwing a flurry of lefts and rights towards his head! Andre is pushed back as he slouches down to a seated position, Joso turning around… ONLY FOR RULER TO STEP FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO THE JAW! Joso is left reeling while Ruler grabs him by the head and throws him down toward the center of the ring, turning around and setting his sights on Andre in the corner-
Flannery McCoy: But Andre manages to bring his leg up and boot Ruler in the face! Ruler is sent backward and this gives Andre enough time to grab the ropes and get back up to his feet. Ruler begins to approach, but before he can do anything it’s Andre that quickly sends a palm uppercut to his jaw! Ruler stumbles back but quickly runs toward Andre once again, only for him to sidestep and throw Ruler into the corner instead! Ruler is backed up while Andre makes his way toward him, but before he can do anything it’s Ruler that connects with a back elbow strike to the face that bites him some time! Ruler then climbs up to the middle rope, POSITIONING HIMSELF BEFORE GOING FOR A MISSILE DROPKICK TO THE CHEST OF ANDRE WALKER TO TAKE HIM DOWN-
Jake Mercer: BUT ANDRE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! Ruler is dropped down and lands flat on his back, leaving him to get back up to his feet while Andre begins to recover at the same time. BUT BEFORE ANDRE CAN DO ANYTHING IT’S JOSO THAT RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A CLOTHESLINE THAT SENDS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND DOWN TO RINGSIDE! Joso disposes of the Undisputed World Heavyweight Interwire Champion for the time being and turns around to set his sights on his other opponents in this match, but Ruler is already up connecting with a kick to his chest! Joso tries to hold his ground, but before he can do anything else it’s Ruler that connects with a spinning gut kick to follow up! Joso doubles over while Ruler runs to the ropes, GOING FOR A KNEE TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD TO DROP HIM- BUT JOSO MANAGES TO CATCH HIM AND LAUNCH HIM INTO A EXPLODER SUPLEX!
Stew-O: Ruler is left tumbling down to the mat while Joso gets back up to a kneeling position, pushing himself back up to his feet before snatching the head of Ruler and beginning to tug him back up to his feet. Ruler is trying his best to get himself out of the situation that he’s in, BUT JOSO GRABS HIM AND LIFTS HIM OFF OF THE GROUND LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A SUPLEX- But it’s Ruler that manages to slip off of his shoulders and land behind him! Joso tries to turn him around, BUT BEFORE HE CAN IT’S RULER THAT GRABS HIM AROUND HIS WAIST AND LIFTS HIM FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! Ruler is back in this match as he immediately gets back up to his feet and runs the ropes… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE DROP TO HIS HEAD TO FOLLOW UP IN HOPES OF KEEPING JOSO DOWN ON THE MAT!
Flannery McCoy: Joso shoots up to a seated position, while Ruler turns around on his heels, stepping forward and looking to crack a kick against his back- But before that can happen its Joso that manages to roll back and connect with a kick to the face! Ruler stumbles back while Joso gets back up, BUT AT RINGSIDE IT’S ANDRE THAT GRABS RULER BY THE LEGS AND YANKS HIM OUT OF THE RING AND DOWN TO RINGSIDE! Ruler takes a hard landing while Andre grabs him and brings him back up to his feet, THROWING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE AND SENDING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Andre then turns his attention to Joso in the ring, BUT THAT’S BEFORE JOSO RUNS FORWARD AND LEAPS OVER THE TOP ROPE COMPLETELY LAYING OUT ‘THE KAISER’ WITH A BEAUTIFUL TOPE CON HILO!
Jake Mercer: Andre is taken down while Joso immediately brings him back up to his feet and rolls him into the ring. Joso doesn’t follow, instead jumping up onto the apron and beginning to scale up to the top turnbuckle. Joso measures his trajectory while Andre slowly begins to rise back up to a vertical base… WITH JOSO LEAPING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND LAYING ANDRE OUT WITH A DIVING CROSSBODY- WAIT! ANDRE GRABS HIM IN MID-AIR! Joso is in the clutches as he tries to wave himself out of this situation, but Andre isn’t letting that happen as he pops Joso up into a Fireman’s Carry position with all of his might… BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A SAMOAN DROP! Joso is taken down while Andre pulls himself toward him and hooks the leg going for an early pin attempt!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Stew-O: BUT JOSO QUICKLY KICKS OUT! With the stakes as high as they are, you know that it’s going to take everything Andre has to take out both Joso and Ruler to retain. Andre pushes away from Joso and begins to get up to his feet once again, trying to calculate what could possibly be the next move to keep the upper hand in this triple threat match. But he doesn’t have much time to think it over either with Joso beginning to rise back up to his feet and at ringside Ruler is using this time to recuperate and wait for the right moment to strike. Andre knows that he’s going to have to handle this with the utmost efficiency, grabbing Joso by the arm and instantly sending him toward the corner. Andre from there runs forward… BEFORE LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE TO HIS HEAD WHILE HE’S BACKED UP-
Flannery McCoy: But just in time it’s Joso that manages to evade the attack! Andre collides with the corner and is left stumbling back before Joso shoves him into the corner instead! This buys him some time, BUT HE DOESN’T NEED MUCH AS HE STEPS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A SHOULDER THRUST TO HIS SPINE! Joso then grabs him by the head and throws him down toward the center of the ring, turning around and positioning himself while Andre has rolled to a kneeling position… WITH JOSO RUNNING FORWARD AND LEAPING INTO THE AIR CONNECTING WITH DOUBLE KNEES TO THE HEAD DROPPING THE UNDISPUTED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT INTERWIRE CHAMPION! Andre is taken down while Joso is the only one standing inside the ring right now-
Jake Mercer: SPOKE TOO SOON! RULER LAUNCHES OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND NEARLY TAKES JOSO’S HEAD OFF WITH A DIVING METEORA TO THE CANVAS! JOSO IS TAKEN DOWN WHILE RULER IMMEDIATELY PINS HIS SHOULDERS TO THE MAT! FOR THE CHANCE TO BECOME THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION RIGHT HERE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRR-
Stew-O: BUT JOSO MANAGES TO KICK OUT! Although this match continues, Ruler has injected himself back into this and in a big way. He knew that if he bided his time and waited for the right moment, that he would be able to swoop in and take advantage, which is exactly what he did. But now he needs to make sure he maintains that as he grabs Joso and throws him out of the ring, with the two of them switching places now before he centers in on Andre who is beginning to gain his beatings on the ground while Ruler approaches. Ruler grabs him by the head, but before he can initiate it’s Andre that begins to send repeated shots toward his abdomen! Ruler is forced to retreat backward and that gives Andre enough time to get back up to his feet, BEFORE HE STEPS FORWARD AND ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE OF RULER-
Flannery McCoy: But Ruler manages to duck under it by the skin of his teeth! Andre nearly tips over while Ruler runs to the ropes… LEAPING OFF OF THEM WITH AMAZING AGILITY AND TAKING DOWN ANDRE WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! Ruler clutches his gut while getting back up to his feet, eyeing Andre who manages to position himself into an all-fours position in hopes of getting back up to his feet. Ruler then turns around and runs to the ropes… BUT BEFORE HE’S ABLE TO ATTEMPT ANYTHING IT’S JOSO THAT SLIDES INTO THE RING AND CONNECTS WITH A LARIAT THAT NEARLY TAKES RULER’S HEAD CLEAN OFF HIS SHOULDERS!
Jake Mercer: Ruler definitely didn’t expect that as Joso wasted no time getting himself back into this match. He turns around and focuses on Andre, grabbing him by his head and pulling him in, I think he’s looking to lift him up into a powerbomb position- BUT ANDRE IS STRONGER AS HE LIFTS JOSO OFF THE GROUND AND DROPS HIM WITH A BACK BODY DROP! Joso takes a hard landing and that’s definitely not how he wanted to get back into this one, he tries to fight back while Andre grabs him from behind and heaves him back up to his feet… LIFTING HIM UP INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX- But Joso connects with a back elbow to the head! Andre is left stumbling back while the two of them center their attention on one another, RUNNING TOWARD ONE ANOTHER WITH ANDRE CONNECTING WITH A CLOTHESLINE- BUT JOSO CONNECTS WITH ONE AS WELL! DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE TAKES THE TWO OF THEM DOWN AS ALL THREE OF THEM ARE NOW DOWN ON THE MAT!
Stew-O: All of them are down and the crowd is on their feet in anticipation, but it looks like this downtime isn’t going to last much longer with Ruler managing to grab onto the bottom rope and help himself back up to his feet. He sees his two opponents down on the mat and I can’t help but imagine what’s whirling through his brain right now with this opportunity. He immediately goes for the bigger prey, grabbing Andre by the head and dragging him up to his feet, but before he can do anything it’s Andre that connects with an uppercut to the jaw! Ruler stumbles back but holds his ground and makes his way toward Andre, only for Andre to this time connect with a kick to the abdomen! Andre then turns around and runs to the ropes…
Flannery McCoy: Only for Ruler to step forward and connect with a knee to the gut! This leaves Andre stunned in place before Ruler connects with a front kick to the side! Before spinning around and connecting with a Spinning Back Fist! Ruler then kicks the back of the knee which drops Andre down to a kneeling position! Ruler then sets him up, BEFORE FINISHING OFF WITH A KNEE STRAIGHT TO THE FACE TO DROP ANDRE DOWN TO THE GROUND! ‘DARK FURY’ COMBO CONNECTS AND IT LEAVES ANDRE NOT IN THE BEST POSITION IN THE HANDS OF ‘THE MONARCH OF AGONY’!
Jake Mercer: But Ruler has immediately noticed Joso beginning to get back up to his feet as he begins to approach him, ONLY FOR JOSO TO TACKLE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT AND BEGIN TO UNLOAD ON HIM WITH RAPID-FIRE PUNCHES! This takes Ruler by surprise but before he can go any further he manages to push Joso away! Both of them get back up to their feet and the two of them are hammering away at one another, with Joso continuing his attack with forearm shots toward the head but at the same time Ruler is not hesitant to respond back with some of his own! Joso! Ruler! Joso! Ruler! Joso! Ruler! Joso! Ruler-
Stew-O: ANDRE! ANDRE CLOCKS RULER AGAINST THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND GRABBING JOSO BEFORE SPINNING AROUND AND PLANTING HIM WITH A URANAGE! Joso is dropped down to the canvas while Ruler falls back against the ropes, ANDRE GETTING BACK UP BEFORE RUNNING TOWARD HIM AND LOOKING TO CLOTHESLINE HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE- BUT RULER MANAGES TO PULL THE TOP ROPE DOWN AND SEND ANDRE OVER THE TOP AND TO THE FLOOR!
Flannery McCoy: Andre stumbles backward upon landing and presses himself up against the barricade to stabilize himself, but after a moment he manages to push off of it but right now I don’t think he notices what Ruler has in mind inside of the ring. Ruler runs to the ropes and back realizing this might be the only chance that he can get to take out Andre right here… LOOKING TO LEAP BETWEEN THE ROPES AND GO FOR A SUICIDE DIVE!
Jake Mercer: BUT ANDRE STEPS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A FIST TO HIS HEAD MID-MOVE WHICH HALTS RULER AND SENDS HIM BACK INTO THE RING! Andre then gets onto the apron and enters in before then beginning to make his way over to Ruler and bring him back up, PULLING HIM IN AND CONNECTING WITH A SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE! Ruler is taken down while Andre heaves him back up once more, GOING FOR ANOTHER SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE TO DROP HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS-
Stew-O: BUT RULER MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT! Ruler turns around while Andre does the same, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HIGH KNEE WHICH DROPS ANDRE DOWN TO A KNEELING POSITION! Ruler then grabs Andre by the head as it looks like he’s possibly setting him up for something right here… HE’S GOING FOR ‘WILL OF NICHOLAS’! EVENFLOW DDT ONTO ANDRE!
Flannery McCoy: BUT ANDRE COUNTERS IT INTO A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! HE BRIDGES FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO BREAKS UP THE PIN BEFORE IT CAN REACH THE COUNT OF THREE! Ruler is down while Andre gets back up to his feet, ONLY FOR JOSO TO TAKE HIM BACK DOWN WITH A BEAUTIFUL RUNNING STO! Joso then turns and it looks like he has his sights in the high rent district. He begins to make his way toward the corner, and now begins to scale up to the top turnbuckle and position himself. Right now Joso has the opportunity to completely turn the offense into his favor and that can only work if whatever he has in mind connects and takes down Andre. Joso balances himself on the top turnbuckle, perched and ready to go…
Stew-O: BUT ANDRE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH ‘KAISER’S TOUCH’ TO JOSO BEFORE HE CAN LIFT OFF! JOSO IS PRACTICALLY LIMP ON THE TOP ROPE BEFORE ANDRE SHOVES HIM OFF THE TOP AND SENDS HIM TUMBLING DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE! Andre then turns his attention to Ruler who certainly has gotten his bearings back right about now…
Flannery McCoy: RULER WITH ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’! SPINNING BACK HEEL KICK TO THE SIDE OF ANDRE WALKER’S HEAD!
Jake Mercer: NOPE! ANDRE MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT! Ruler stumbles forward but turns around, ONLY TO BE MET BY ANOTHER ‘KAISER’S TOUCH’ TO THE HEAD! SUPERMAN PUNCH ONE MORE TIME BUT IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE ANDRE IS DONE EITHER AS HE GRABS RULER BY THE ARM AND SENDS HIM TOWARD THE ROPES WITH AN IRISH WHIP…
Stew-O: ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’! LLSIDE!
Flannery McCoy: THE SPEAR CONNECTS ABSOLUTELY TEARING RULER IN HALF AND DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! THIS IS HIS CHANCE! ANDRE WALKER COULD VERY WELL BE ON HIS WAY TO CONTINUING HIS RECORD-BREAKING INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN AS HE CRAWLS FOR HIS LIFE OVER TO RULER! HE THROWS HIS ARM OVER HIM! PIN ATTEMPT-
Jake Mercer: WAIT! WAIT! RULER WITH THE LAST BIT OF ENERGY HE HAS MANAGES TO CLUTCH ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE AND PULL HIMSELF OUT OF THE RING BEFORE ANDRE CAN GO FOR THE PIN! LOOK AT THE SHOCK ON THE FACE OF ANDRE RIGHT NOW! HE THOUGHT HE HAD THIS MATCH IN THE BAG BUT THE DETERMINATION FROM RULER OVERPOWERED THAT AND ALLOWED HIM TO ESCAPE SUDDEN DOOM BEFORE THIS MATCH WAS SET IN STONE!
(Andre is clutching at the bottom rope, just staring down at Ruler at ringside. He can’t believe what’s happening right now, because he knows that would’ve been exactly what he needed to finish this match off for good. Everything is crumbling before his very eyes, but right now, the only thing he can really do in this position is keep pushing onward.)
Stew-O: Andre is beginning to get back up, and you can see that his eyes haven’t left Ruler who is still down at ringside. Andre slowly drops down and rolls out of the ring, beginning to make his way over and grab the head of Ruler before slowly bringing him back up to his feet. Lord knows what he might have planned for him but if there is one thing for certain, it’s the fact that it’s not going to be good at all. He begins to set Ruler up who can barely even stand…
Flannery McCoy: WAIT! LOOK! JOSO! HE’S UP ON THE TOP ROPE AND ANDRE TAKES NOTICE! JOSO POSITIONS HIMSELF BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR WITH A MOONSAULT AND TAKING BOTH ANDRE AND RULER DOWN TO THE MAT! WHAT A MOVE BY JOSO!
Jake Mercer: Joso is back up to his feet and has grabbed a hold of both Andre and Ruler before rolling them both back into the ring. He knows that if he continues to pick the two of them apart, it’ll certainly do the job and get him closer and closer to becoming the new Interwire Champion tonight in the main event. Joso brings Ruler up first, immediately trying to kick him in the abdomen- but Ruler manages to grab it- ONLY FOR JOSO TO CONNECT WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! He from there runs to the ropes and back, BEFORE USING THE MOMENTUM TO ATTEMPT A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS- BUT RULER MANAGES TO AVOID THAT ONE AS WELL SENDING JOSO CRASHING AND BURNING ONTO THE CANVAS!
Stew-O: Joso clutches at his stomach while getting back up to his feet, BUT IS ONLY MET WITH RULER LEAPING UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND LAUNCHING HIM INTO A HURRICANRANA ONTO THE MAT! Joso rolls back up and falls against the ropes, ONLY FOR RULER TO SPRINT FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A BRUTAL BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE WHICH TAKES JOSO DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Ruler then grabs Joso by the arm and pulls him toward the center of the ring, but before he can do anything it’s Joso that nails Ruler with a quick elbow strike to leave him stunned! RULER FROM THERE LIFTS JOSO UP OFF THE GROUND, I THINK WE KNOW WHAT HE’S GOING FOR RIGHT NOW…
Flannery McCoy: ‘MADE IN HEAVEN’ SPIKE PILEDRIVER TO JOSO!
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO MANAGES TO FLIP HIMSELF AROUND BEFORE SPIKING RULER ONTO HIS HEAD HIMSELF! Joso then grabs Ruler and tugs him back up to his feet before pulling him in, striking while the iron is hot… HE’S GOING FOR ‘INCOMING SILENCE’! THE SPINNING SIT-OUT POWERBOMB TO RULER-
Stew-O: BUT RULER MANAGES TO FLIP OUT OF IT AND LAND ON HIS FEET IN FRONT OF JOSO! Joso attempts a swing toward the face-
Flannery McCoy: BUT RULER FINALLY CONNECTS WITH ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’ TO TAKE JOSO DOWN TO THE CANVAS! JOSO IS DOWN AND RULER INSTANTLY DROPS DOWN AS WELL TO HOOK THE LEG AND GO FOR THE PIN! THE REFEREE SLIDES DOWN FOR THE COUNT! COULD THIS BE THE MOMENT WHERE WE SEE THE INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP CHANGE HANDS TONIGHT???
OOONNNEEE!!!

Jake Mercer: NO! NO! ANDRE WALKER OUT OF NOWHERE JUST BROKE UP THE PIN ATTEMPT! THIS MATCH IS FAR FROM OVER THANKS TO THE UNDISPUTED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT INTERWIRE CHAMPION AND NOW PUSHES ON!
Stew-O: Ruler doesn’t have any time to soak it in as Andre immediately heaves him up to his feet before manhandling him into the corner! Andre from there begins to absolutely tee off with shots towards the abdomen! Repeated lefts and rights which take the air out of Ruler’s lungs with every piercing blow! Ruler tries to fight back, but just when he thinks he has it all sorted out it’s Andre that grabs him by the head… BEFORE LAUNCHING HIM OVER HIS HEAD AND DOWN TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING! Ruler takes a hard landing but is beginning to get back up already, BEFORE ANDRE SPINS AROUND AND ATTEMPTS A DISCUS LARIAT TO PUT THE CHERRY ON TOP-
Flannery McCoy: BUT RULER AVOIDS THAT! Andre stumbles but turns around, ONLY FOR RULER TO RUN FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG WHICH DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Ruler then snatches the legs, HE’S GOING FOR THE BOSTON CRAB SUBMISSION HOLD- BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN WITH ANDRE MANAGING TO UNWIND HIMSELF AND PUSH AWAY FROM HIS GRASP! The two of them both get back up to their feet, BUT RULER IS FIRST CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST WHICH SENDS ANDRE AGAINST THE ROPES!
Jake Mercer: Ruler then runs forward realizing that’s not going to take Andre down, ONLY TO FALL INTO ANDRE LIFTING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND PLANTING HIM DOWN INTO A SPINEBUSTER! Ruler is down while Andre brings him back up, GOING FOR A SAMOAN DROP THIS TIME- BUT RULER MANAGES TO SLIP OFF OF HIS SHOULDERS BEFORE TURNING HIM AROUND AND BOOTING HIM IN THE KNEE! Ruler then runs to the ropes and back… BEFORE GOING FOR A HURRICANRANA TO ANDRE-
Stew-O: WAIT! ANDRE MANAGES TO HOLD HIS GROUND AND KEEP RULER UP ON HIS SHOULDERS! HE’S GOING FOR ‘HONOR KILLED THE SAMURAI’! POWERBOMB FOLLOWED BY A FALLING FOREARM TO CAP THIS MATCH OFF!
Flannery McCoy: BUT RULER MANAGES TO KEEP HIMSELF UP! NO WAY! RULER SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE RIGHT NOW AS HE MANAGES TO KEEP HIMSELF UP ON THE SHOULDERS OF ANDRE BEFORE HE CAN FULLY EXECUTE THE FINISHING MOVE! ANDRE TRIES TO KEEP HIM UP AND BALANCE HIM BUT NOW RULER BEGINS TO RAIN DOWN REPEATED PUNCHES TOWARD HIS HEAD TO CONTINUE TO FAN THE FLAMES! Ruler now begins to guide Andre… BEFORE SENDING HIM TOWARD THE ROPES AND GRABBING A HOLD OF THEM HIMSELF SENDING ANDRE OVER THE TOP AND DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE!
Jake Mercer: This takes Andre out for the time being while Ruler lands on the apron before entering the ring, and this gives Ruler more than enough time as he takes a step back and begins to direct himself toward the center of the ring… WAIT! JOSO FROM BEHIND LIFTS RULER UP OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECTS WITH ‘RUNAWAY’! THE FIREMAN’S CARRY INTO A SITOUT SIDE POWERSLAM CONNECTS AND IF THERE’S ONE THING THAT RULER DIDN’T EXPECT IT’S FOR THE NEW ERA CLASSIC WINNER TO TAKE HIM BY SURPRISE ESPECIALLY WHEN HE THOUGHT HE WAS SAFE! JOSO ISN’T DONE THOUGH AS NOW HE LOOKS TO PUT THE FINISHING TOUCH ON THIS MATCH…
Stew-O: ‘GRATEFUL DEATH’! ARGENTINE BACKBREAKER TRANSITIONED INTO A KNEE LIFT CONNECTS COMPLETELY TAKING OUT RULER! BUT IF THAT WASN’T ENOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE JOSO ISN’T OVER JUST YET!
Flannery McCoy: TURNING IT INTO A WRIST-LOCK TRANSITIONED SHORT-ARM LARIAT! ‘KING’S CROWN’ CONNECTS AND RULER HAS BEEN COMPLETELY LEVELED WITH THE CANVAS! JOSO IS WASTING NO TIME NOW AND THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET! THEY CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT THEY’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW! JOSO HOOKS THE LEGS! COULD THIS BE THE END OF THIS MATCH AS WE KNOW IT???
OOONNNEEE!!!
Stew-O: ANDRE WALKER ON THE OUTSIDE REALIZES WHAT’S GOING ON AND IMMEDIATELY PUSHES BACK UP TO HIS FEET!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Flannery McCoy: HE SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING AND LEAPS INTO THE AIR LOOKING TO BREAK UP THE PIN!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Jake Mercer: HE’S TOO LATE! HE’S TOO LATE! WE HAVE A NEW INTERWIRE CHAMPION!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘No Messiah’ once again begins to blast through the speakers of the arena to an absolute standing ovation. Joso immediately rolls out of the ring before Andre Walker can grab a hold of him and falls back against the barricade, a look of surprise and shock on his face while the crowd rallies him up in the front row. The referee makes his way over and holds out the Interwire Championship, Joso taking a good look at it before snatching it into his possession and clutching it close to his chest. Joso then takes his newly won prize and raises it high in the air, with the crowd singing his praises and amping him up in the start of a glorious celebration.)
Stephie Love: Here is your winner… and NEW EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!! JOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT I’VE JUST WITNESSED TONIGHT! 328 DAYS AS INTERWIRE CHAMPION! THE LONGEST REIGNING IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COMPANY! POSSIBLY ONE OF THE GREATEST INTERWIRE CHAMPIONS OF ALL TIME HAS JUST BEEN DEFEATED!
Flannery McCoy: I can’t deny I’m in awe when it comes to that either. But in the end the person that defeated him could not be more deserving of that honor. Joso, someone who has worked his butt off since his arrival and has taken the entirety of Elite Answers Wrestling by storm. Winning the New Era Classic trophy was just a precursor for what was to come, and tonight we just got the opportunity to see exactly why.
Jake Mercer: While this defeat has definitely rocked the core of the island of relevancy. :mjcry: I gotta give credit to everyone in this match for what they’ve done. Andre is him, he has accomplished everything that was possible to accomplish and even in defeat walks away with gold around his waist. Ruler is someone that has a limitless ceiling and has what it takes to take this entire company by storm if he waits it out and trusts the process. And Joso is 100% everything that he says he is, HE JUST DON’T MISS!
Stew-O: This is one that we’ll remember folks and I hope everyone in this match is proud of their effort because it made for a main event to be proud of in the first supershow of the Season. What a way to cap things off, and I think that’s all the time we have. Ladies and gentlemen thank you for watching. Congratulations to Joso. And on behalf of Flannery McCoy and Jake Mercer, I’m Stew-O, signing out.
(Joso is seen entering into the ring and climbing up to the top rope, raising the Interwire Championship with both of his hands while pyro shoots out on the stage. Andre Walker is seen at ringside with Albert Hitchman, disappointed in defeat but still wearing the World Heavyweight Championship as he makes his leave. This marks his first loss in a long time, but if one things for certain is that Andre is going to make sure it’s his only for quite some time. Ruler is seen in the corner, watching his rival celebrate his victory with a disappointed look on his face. He shakes his head before dropping down and beginning to make his leave behind Andre as well. That leaves Joso inside the ring, who slings the Interwire Championship around his shoulder with a prideful look on his face with that being the last shot seen before Poor Unfortunate Souls begins to completely fade from there.)
