(EAW intro plays.)
(RECAP: The recap opens with Raven Roberts making her return to Showdown last week. She would give an emotional speech, along with claiming the “bird is on the hunt” and issuing an open challenge for King Of Elite. Next, the recap cuts to the BBB Title match between Woogie and Strawberry Steve, where in a match of the year candidate, Steve would emerge victorious and reign as the new Big Berry Bhampion. Next, it cuts to Ryan trying to apologize to the Maidens for their behavior, but neither one of them are believing it, thinking he has betrayed them and didn’t appreciate them saving his job back at Territorial Invasion. Ryan would state he would take care of Bethany of Showdown, but didn’t say Alexis. Doc stated they are a package deal. Both of them would then leave the scene. Next is switches to the match between Ryan WIlson and Bethany Blue in a round one matchup, where Doc would win via her claw and move on, but she was attacked by Ronan, and Ryan afterwards. Alexis would come out to make the save for her partner. Next, it cuts to Justin WIndgate doing an interview with Kyra in the ring, and he talks about his title win, and the attacks by Kid Ohio the past few weeks. He calls out Kid Ohio, but Kid doesn’t answer the first few times. To sweeten the deal, Justin offers an Interwire Championship match at King Of Elite. Seconds later, Kid Ohio would come out and blindside Justin Windgate again before accepting the match. Next, it cuts to the round one match between Ronan Malosi and Alexis Chambers. Ryan would distract Alexis, and Bethany evens the odds, before Alexis ran into the finisher of Ronan, which sent Ronan into round two. The Maidens look heartbroken inside the ring as Ronan gets in the face of Kassidy Heart on the stage, his opponent next week. It then cuts to Harlow running into Xavier’s close friend, Alastair Greyson, who explained what’s been going on through Xavier’s head. Harlow added he isn’t a child and can fight his demons like she did. And then, it cuts to the main event, where Bronson Dnaiels and Jon Kelton put everything they had on the line in order to win the Answers World Title contendership, but Lucas Johnson would interfere while the referee was down, hitting his claymore kick on Kelton. Bronson wouldn’t see it as he finished off Jon and pinned him to become number one contender. The recap ends with Jack Ripley holding the championship high in front of Bronson.)
RECAP END.
(“Uncontainable” by Set It Off hits as blue and white pyro explodes on top of the stage and then the blue lights and lasers shine throughout the arena as the virtual fans are cheering ready for the show to begin.)
(SCREEN BAR — EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY!)
Eve: WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!!!!
Deadprez: And what a night we got as the road to King Of Elite is heating up. We have two title matches set, and we get two round two matches here tonight! It’s gonna be an eventful night.
Gavin Kirkland: I still miss Andrea. :mjcry:
Eve: Enough moping around! It’s time to get this show on the road! Let’s do it!
(“In My Bones” by The Score plays as the virtual crowd delivers a nice, big pop as Raven Roberts comes out. Raven extends her hands out, embracing the reception of the crowd before making her way down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME… “THE BIRD OF PREY” … RAVEN ROBERTS!!!!!!
Eve: Much like last week, we begin this edition of Showdown with the former Universal Women’s Champion, who made her return to Showdown for the first time since Territorial Invasion and it seems like she was in a good mindset. More happier and focused than ever. I think this could be the best version of Raven Roberts that EAW and the Showdown brand has ever seen.
Deadprez: It’s obvious that she is going to respond to Darcy May Morgan accepting Raven Roberts’ open challenge that she laid out for anyone to accept for King of Elite. I wasn’t expecting for Miss Cash in the Vault to say anything about that, but if this match is REALLY set in stone, it could be a contender for Match of the Year for sure.
Gavin Kirkland: It was odd to see this place without Raven Roberts, but at least, she is here to help replace my emptiness for Andrea Valentine.
Eve: Is that all, Gavin?
Gavin Kirkland: And, she may say something about Darcy, but I really don’t know.
(Raven Roberts is posing on the ropes as the crowd continues to shower her with love. She manages to get a microphone from Gina Romano, thanking her and the ring announcer who exits the ring, leaving the former Universal Women’s Champion to have her moment. “In My Bones” dies down as the crowd claps and applauds for Raven as she decides on how she is going to start off this promo of her’s.)
Raven Roberts: Well, here I am again. I hope that none of you are getting sick of me because you’re going to be seeing a lot of me. When I issued out the challenge for anyone to face me one-on-one at King of Elite, I was curious on who would have the guts to take me on. On Sunday night, I tuned into Voltage to see what my friends and peers were up to. You know? Keeping up with the competition I could potentially cross paths with? Also, I wanted to see how many times that bitch Persephone Tsisitpas name dropped me or talked about Rex — it was eight times. I can assure you, I am getting to the whole point on why I am out here. On that same show, I stumbled upon Darcy May Morgan’s interview with Sofia Clarke and she accepted my challenge. It seemed like she was on the same boat as me as she was looking for a way to find herself on the card. She saw that I threw out the challenge and she accepted, but she said that she was going to be here to “iron out the details,” so why not just get things over with and —
(“Spotlight Savior” by Iggy Azalea cuts Raven Roberts off as the crowd pops as Darcy May Morgan, Miss Cash in the Vault comes out with the briefcase in her clutches. She has a huge, confident grin on her face as Raven looks at her from inside the ring. Darcy is soaking in the spotlight that she’s in at the moment.)
Deadprez: Darcy May Morgan has made her presence known, but this talented woman doesn’t need any sort of introduction. She’s a former Specialists Champion, current Miss Cash in the Vault and potentially, future Universal Women’s Champion. This young woman has all the potential to be something great in this company.
Gavin Kirkland: For someone as talented as Darcy May Morgan, Raven Roberts has had the reputation of being a workhorse in this company. She’s earned everything that she’s possibly had and to make things interesting, she is the previous Miss Cash in the Vault. So at King of Elite, it’s going to be the 2020 Cash in the Vault holder versus the 2019 Cash in the Vault holder.
Eve: Darcy is known to be a hard worker herself and earned her briefcase in one of the most competitive Cash in the Vault matches in this company’s history. There’s no doubt that she’s in the right track to being a World Champion, but going up against Raven is not going to be an easy thing for her, but Darcy is going to embrace that challenge and Raven is going to step up to the plate and prove that she is still one of the best in the women’s division.
(Darcy May Morgan is holding up her Cash in the Vault briefcase as the photographers begin to flash their cameras, taking pictures of Darcy. Darcy looks at Raven Roberts, who is standing across the ring from her. Darcy manages to get a microphone from the timekeeper as she stares across Raven. “Spotlight Savior” dies down as the crowd begins to cheer for both of these women being in the same ring. Darcy has a confident smirk on her face as Raven has a confident front to her’s.)
Darcy May Morgan: Long time no see, Ray-Ray. I can’t believe it’s been about six months since we crossed paths at Fighting Spirit. The No Way Out Match, where I was just a second too late from stopping you to win the match, but…
(Darcy May Morgan looks at her Cash in the Vault briefcase with a smile on her face before looking back at Raven Roberts.)
Darcy May Morgan: It all seems to work out in the end. I became Cash in the Vault and WILL become Universal Women’s Champion. You went on your little ‘self-searching’ break and you’re back to put Showdown and EAW on notice! Wow, it’s so inspiring. :wow: Very great stuff, but while you were at home, sitting on your ass and working through your little issues, I was on Voltage, busting my ass off, and putting on amazing matches with Terry Chambers, Malcolm Jones and Drake King. I have been looking for the perfect time and place to cash in this briefcase and reign in a new era. There’s going to be a ton of analysis and people that try to claim that we’re both different in our own ways, I like to point out the similarities that we both have. We both won Cash in the Vault, we both had to specific people drag us down and weren’t given things on a silver platter. However, what makes us different? Well, when I was going through problems with looking at myself, I didn’t need to tuck my tail between my legs and run away. I didn’t need to go back to England in search of myself and find the reason why I am still doing what I am doing. Oh no, I remained on Voltage. After experiencing the tough losses that I did, I never felt the need to go home. Instead, I evaluated myself and tried to pinpoint on what I needed to do to become better. I exemplified myself as someone who didn’t need to leave and go home to find herself. I did that on Voltage. The entire world saw me do that. You, Raven, you needed to go home to find yourself. In my eyes, you took your ball and went home.
(The crowd begins to boo as Raven Roberts, shakes her head, listening to what Darcy May Morgan has to say.)
Raven Roberts: I won’t be shamed for taking a step back and going home to find myself. Sometimes, you need to take a step back to find yourself and your priorities. At that moment, wrestling wasn’t my priority. My priority was to make sure that I returned to be better than ever. I didn’t want my bitterness to blind me anymore. I hated how I was treating people that I truly cared about and these are the cases, where you need to take a step back and realize that you can’t be treating people that have loved and supported you throughout your entire journey the way you have. From my break, I realized that I still love wrestling. I love what wrestling has done for me and I’m grateful for everything that it has done for me. But, I needed the break.
Raven Roberts: I needed to know who Raven Roberts was outside of the ring. I was able to figure that out. I learned a couple of things. I figured out that I had some interests that I never believed that I did. While I was doing that, I realized that I still want wrestling in my life. I want to be in EAW. Go ahead and shame me for taking a step back to find myself, Darcy. It helped me tremendously and now, I have a clear vision of how I want to present myself to everyone. I want to be the Raven Roberts when I was Universal Women’s Champion. I want to be the Raven Roberts that became the first-ever female Cash in the Vault holder. I want to be the Raven Roberts that became the first-ever female New Breed Champion. I want to be the Raven Roberts that won the No Way Out Match at Fighting Spirit. I want to go back to that side of myself and this match against you is going to be a step in the right direction.
Darcy May Morgan: Not going to lie, but I’m really excited about this match between the two of us. Although, I really don’t agree with you leaving to find yourself, I am glad that you have a clear mindset because I don’t want any excuse when I beat you at King of Elite. While you’ve been “soul-searching” or whatever you’re referring to it, I’ve been at work. I haven’t taken a break. I have been working on bettering my craft and proving to everyone that I am a future World Champion based on my skills alone. The last time that we faced off, it made me curious to what would happen if we ever faced off one-on-one and I think the results will fall into my favor.
Raven Roberts: It’s interesting, Darcy; if No Way Out proved anything, it’s that it doesn’t matter if it’s a match with six people or a one-on-one match, I will always be better and in this case, I will always be better than you. As I said last week, I’m back and I’m on the hunt. I’m here to reclaim my spot on top of this company and a victory over you is a step in the right direction. Let’s just go ahead and make sure this becomes an early Match of the Year candidate.
(Raven Roberts extends her hand out for Darcy May Morgan to shake. Darcy slowly goes into accepting Raven’s handshake, but pulls away quickly.)
Darcy May Morgan: But wait…since this match is for sure going to be an early Match of the Year candidate, might as well make things perfect. I am a future Universal Women’s Champion after all and it’s time that I start carrying myself as such.
Raven Roberts: Okay, what do you have in mind?
Darcy May Morgan: So like, I have been REALLY thinking about this for a while now. I just want for this entire match to be as perfect as possible, so we might as well hype this match to be a battle between two of the most dominant women this company has ever seen! I’ll tell you right now though, you aren’t on my level and I’ll prove it at King Of Elite. Kind of a shame that we can’t remake the King of Elite poster already because I would request myself to be on the cover of it! Like, the one that we have right now is solid, but it’s forgetting one missing factor and that’s me! I am Miss Cash in the Vault after all and if Sarah Price, Jamie O’Hara and Mr. DEDEDE can be on FPV posters by themselves, why can’t Darcy May Morgan? I may need to make an appointment with the EAW graphic design team.
Raven Roberts: Is that all?
Darcy May Morgan: Remember I said that I was going to “iron out the details?” This is what it is right now. I got more demands! Let’s talk about the lighting that is used whenever I stand on top of the apron. It’s some of the worst lighting that I have ever seen. It makes my tan look orange sometimes and I’m trying not to look like Donald Trump here. Another thing that I demand is that I get myself the spotlight that I DESERVE. A spotlight that radiates on me like the sun. A spotlight that makes me look like a complete goddess when I walk out at King of Elite. I mean, the lighting is good with you since your skin complexion isn’t anything like mine, but I just want to make sure that I am presented like the champion that I will be in the future!
Raven Roberts: Is that all?
Darcy May Morgan: Yes, it is.
(Darcy May Morgan leans back against the ropes, which catches her attention.)
Darcy May Morgan: WAIT! I got another demand that I need for King of Elite.
Raven Roberts: Of course, you do. :mjgrin:
Darcy May Morgan: These ring ropes?
(Darcy May Morgan touches the top rope with her thumb and index finger, almost looking at it with a disgusted look on her face.)
Darcy May Morgan: This isn’t it. Oh no, we are going to need different ring ropes for our match. I demand that there be gold colored ring ropes. We need something very shining and pleasing to the eye. Gold and shimmer would be an interesting combination. But, why should we stop there? I say we change everything! I say that we should add a special guest timekeeper and a ring announcer. If there are quite a few things about coming out to compete that always seem to trigger my headaches, it’s hearing Bella Braxton trying to ring announce and that timekeeper ringing that bell a little too loud for my liking. Even then, it doesn’t sound like in sync some of the time. We need a professional timekeeper and ring announcer. We gotta make it feel like a big time match! We gotta make this match feel more important than it needs to be!
(Raven Roberts rolls her eyes at Darcy May Morgan’s demands.)
Raven Roberts: Alright, fine by me. It doesn’t matter how all of this looks because I’m still looking to beat you at King of Elite.
(Raven Roberts extends her hand out, trying to get this entire thing over with. Darcy May Morgan goes to shake her hand again, but pulls away again.)
Darcy May Morgan: I have one FINAL demand.
(Raven Roberts rolls her eyes, clearly annoyed and losing her patience.)
Raven Roberts: REALLY?
Darcy May Morgan: You see, Raven. My last demand is that after I beat you at King of Elite, you don’t go running off to the night like you did when Minerva wiped the floor with you.
Raven Roberts: Deal. But rest assured, the last thing that I’d ever do is lose to someone like you.
(The two women FINALLY shake hands with each other, solidifying their agreement and making their match official for King of Elite. “In My Bones” plays again. You can feel the tension between the two women in the ring. Both managed to get their words across to each other, but instead of saying anything else. Darcy manages to break contact before exiting out the ring. Raven Roberts watches as Darcy May Morgan exits the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: It seems like this match is OFFICIAL for King of Elite. Raven Roberts faces off against Darcy May Morgan!
Eve: Darcy May Morgan had her list of demands on hand when facing Raven Roberts off, but they both will do everything to make sure that this match is a must-see and an early Match of the Year candidate.
Deadprez: King of Elite can’t get any better than what we have right now! I can’t wait for it!
(Commercial advertising Joe Biden’s inauguration in a few days. Don’t miss it. :blessed:)
Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!
Virtual Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
( “Young and Bitter” by Hot Tag Media play over the sound system of World 1 Theatre as Lucas makes his way down the ramp walking with purpose. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! Accompanied to the ring by his agent, Albert Hitchman! From Long Island, New York! Weighing in at 210 pounds. He is The Wrestling Machine! LUCAAAAAS… JOOOOOOOOHN-SOOOOOOOON!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Last week the Blueprint made quite an impact on Showdown, costing Jon Kelton a shot at the Answers World Championship!
Deadprez: His agent told him to step up, he delivered in spectacular fashion! What can we expect this week? We’re about to find out tonight!
( ‘Love etc.’ By Pet Shop Boys plays now as the newcomer is making his way towards the ring. )
Gina Romano: ANNNND HIS OPPONENT! Making his EAW Debut! From Toronto, Canada! Weighing in at 195 pounds! RAYMOND OLIVEIRA!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Fresh face on Saturday Night Showdown to face Lucas Johnson tonight.
Deadprez: He didn’t say much this week, in fact, he didn’t say a word. Is this arrogance on his behalf? It might cost him.
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Eve: And this match is officially underway! Both men are walking towards each other in the middle of the ring, Lucas is going for a clinch against the Toronto native Oliveira and both of them end up with a draw of sort letting each other go. Johnson frowns as Raymond looks rather confident and goes with a hand up suggesting a test of power between each other. Lucas seems to be hesitant but then he raises an arm BUT throws in a knee to the midsection of the new guy before throwing him down with force with a clothesline! Oliveira gets up rapidly but his back is facing Lucas who grabs him in a German Suplex and slams him hard against the nearby corner! Raymond’s head bounces against the tuck buckle as he is now on his WOAH SHINING WIZARD RIGHT TO THE FACE OF RAYMOND OLIVEIRA BY A VERY AGGRESSIVE LUCAS!! He goes for a cover!
Referee: One! Tw-
Gavin Kirkland: Raymond kicked out!!
Deadprez: Look at Johnson! He looks mad irritated!
Eve: Looks like this is not going to be an easy one for Lucas though he has the advantage early on! Quickly getting up from his opponent he goes to the ropes jumping for a Lionsault! Perfectly executed! He seems to be considering a pinfall but decides against it as he goes to the nearest corner and gets atop of it! SHOOTING STAR PRESS BY LUCAS JOHNSON!! He goes for the cover!!
Referee: One! Two! Thr-
Gavin Kirkland: The fuck is he doing??
Deadprez: He broke his own count!!
Eve: What does Johnson have in mind if he does that? This doesn’t bode well for Raymond Oliveira who is trying to get to a vertical base but he is helped by Lucas who then grabs his head and applies a stiff-looking DDT upon his opponent! Down goes Oliveira but Lucas isn’t done! He picks Raymond up, he looks quite helpless, and then drills him down with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex!! Is he gonna go for the pin? No! SKULL CRUSHING FINALE!!!!! Raymond goes down again!! Oliveira drops down like a bag of pucks on fresh ice! Johnson goes for the cover! This could be it!!
Referee: ONE! TWO!! THREE!!!
Deadprez: Dominant Performance!
( DING! DING!! DING!!! )
( “Young and Bitter” by Hot Tag Media play over the sound system of World 1 Theatre as Lucas gets his arm raised by the official. Outside of the ring, Albert is massively applauding what he just witnessed. )
Gina Romano: The winner of this bout! The Blueprint: LUCAAAAAAS JOOOOOHN-SOOOOOOOON!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Impressive showing tonight by a man who seems to be stepping up his game in a massive way since he took actions against Jon Kelton!
Deadprez: Speaking of him, I hope he has watched this match because facing Lucas won’t be easy if it comes to that. A strong outing from the Long Island native! Could this be his rise to the top?
( As the commentators are wrapping up the match, praising the surprisingly dominant performance from the Long Island-born Lucas he looks at the newcomer he just defeated with some disdain and after a while, he moves to a corner as Raymond is getting back to a vertical base. )
Eve: Wait is he gonna?
Gavin Kirkland: The match is over you idiot!!
Deadprez: CLAYMORE!! LUCAS JUST RAN RAYMOND DOWN WITH A POWERFUL CLAYMORE!! OLIVEIRA LOOKS KO’ed as Lucas looks mighty satisfied with what he’s done under a chorus of virtual boos from the online crowd! He doesn’t seem to give a damn though! What aggression from Lucas this is a side of him we haven’t seen before!
(The camera then pans backstage.)
(The camera cuts backstage to the parking lot as we’re able to see a BMW M3 drive in. The camera slowly pans around to the driver’s side door opens and the man that returned from injury two weeks ago, Xavier Williams, exits. He grabs his bag from the trunk of the car and begins to make his way into the World 1 Theatre.)
“Xavier! Xavier! You were just the man that I was hoping to catch!”
(Xavier stops as he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. The voice was more than familiar, but honestly, who couldn’t recognise the voice of the Showdown General Manager, Ryan Wilson from a mile away.)
Ryan Wilson: I know that we haven’t had the opportunity to speak since you made that shocking return at the expense of Andrea Valentine… and I know that you haven’t been in contact with anyone other than the EAW Medical Staff that helped you recover from those injuries from that unidentified assailant, but as the General Manager of undoubtedly the BEST… Brand in the World, Showdown I thought that it would be more than fitting that I be the first person to welcome you back here.
(Xavier doesn’t say a word, instead just keeping his eyes locked on Ryan Wilson.)
Ryan Wilson: I don’t expect you to thank me, but I should also keep you updated on what I’ve been doing concerning your attack a few months ago. I haven’t made it public, seeing I didn’t want anyone to know that I’ve been hunting their trail, but I’ve been conducting my own investigation. Every name on Showdown is on the list of potential suspects, except both mine and yours of course, and while I may not condone your actions two weeks ago and putting Andrea Valentine out of commission with a shattered ankle – I’m willing to let that slide due to the fact that I believe that she was the lead suspect and you must have been on the same page that I was. So, with that being said – I don’t want you to worry about anything, Xavier! I want you to know that as your General Manager that I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure we find out who attacked you. I just want you to focus on competing in that ring, showing the world why you think that you’re the BEST… in the World.
(Ryan pats Xavier on the shoulder, but Xavier immediately grabs it.)
Xavier Williams: I don’t care about what you’re doing, Ryan. I’m going to keep this as simple as possible. You stay out of my business and I’ll stay out of yours.
(Ryan nods his head as Xavier releases his wrist and walks away. Ryan watches as, surprisingly, a big smile crosses his face as he nods his head mumbling to himself before the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(The camera then pans to the parking garage, where a car pulls up, and it comes to a halt. Out steps Jon Kelton in his casual attire.)
(Jon Kelton then begins walking the arena, obviously pissed off looking for a fight with Lucas Johnson.He then grabs a stagehand next to him.)
Jon Kelton: Where’s Lucas Johnson?
Stagehand: Ummm, he just had a match, but I think I saw him and his manager hightail out of here.
Jon Kelton: You gotta be fuckin kidding me. I have better things to do than chase this idiot down. All I wanna do is kick his ass, and show him it’s a mistake choosing me of all the people on the roster to pick a fight with. I should be getting ready for the opportunity of a lifetime at King Of Elite, but instead, I’m dealing with his attention seeking dumbass, and it’s fucking bullshit.
(Kelton then punches the wall behind the stagehand in a fit of rage.)
Jon Kelton: I don’t believe he left. I bet he’s lying in wait somewhere to jump me again. Lucas Johnson wants to cost me shot at the Answers World Title? Well, I’ll break his fucking nose, arm, and a leg for being a sensitive little bitch who can’t stand his spot in the company even though it’s his own fault and he blames other people. This time it’s me and it cost me a great opportunity, and I’m not fucking dealing with it.
(Kelton then picks up a steel pipe in the parking lot and smashes a car window, all you can hear is people panicking and the car alarm blasting.)
Jon Kelton: COME ON LUCAS, YOU WANTED TO PICK A FIGHT WITH ME, WELL, HERE I AM! SHOW YOURSELF YOU LITTLE BITCH!
(Showdown consultant Alissa Brady enters the scene trying to calm Kelton down, Kelton thinks it’s Lucas as he turns around and raises the pipe.)
Alissa Brady: AHHHHH!!!!! DROP THE PIPE NOW!!!
(Kelton puts the pipe to his side as Alissa straightens her blazer.)
Alissa Brady: I know you’re upset, and you have every right to be, but that man was right, lucas left the arena.
(Kelton rolls his eyes.)
Alissa Brady: But, I will give you the fight you want with him, and you will get your shot at revenge. Seeing Lucas in pain after what he put me through is always a bonus. At King Of Elite, you will go one on one with Lucas…IN A STREET FIGHT!
Jon Kelton: King Of Elite is still over a month away. I want that bitch’s head, RIGHT NOW!
Alissa Brady: You want a fight now? I can give you one next week, but your fight with Lucas has to wait until King Of Elite. I’m not taking a chance in court with Albert, it all just seems just like a headache.
(Kelton rolls his eyes.)
Alissa Brady: Next week, you will take on James Ranger! But please, for now, just put the pipe down!
(Kelton smashes the backseat window before throwing the pipe aside.)
Jon Kelton: Lucas Johnson better start counting his days he has le–
(Lucas Johnson smacks Jon Kelton in the back of the head with the pipe he dropped, he then rams it into the ribs repeatedly of Jon, before giving a little smile to Alissa who runs off.)
Lucas Johnson: You better start counting YOUR days little bud.
(Lucas throws the pipe down at Kelton as hard as he can before backing up as security runs into the scene to check up on Jon.)
(A commercial advocating for therapy for Marijuana as Bronson Daniels is seen starring it. He talks about how stopping smoking benefited him and also changed his race :wow: )
(“Eye of the Tiger” by New Found Glory is heard in the background as Harlow Reichert is seen sat down at the announce table with her own headset on ready to do commentary.)
Eve: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our special guest at the commentary desk tonight..Harlow Reichert!
Harlow Reichert: Thanks for having me, Eve, I’m definitely looking forward to watching this one real closely..
Gavin Kirkland: And I-
Harlow Reichert: No.
Gavin Kirkland: BUT THICCLOW! :mjcry:
(“Eye of the Tiger” fades out as the camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring with a mic in hand and a smile on her face.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for…ONE FALL!!
Virtual Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(“Raise Up The Lights” by League of Legends (ft. The Siege) plays over the PA and it doesn’t take long for James Ranger to make his way from behind the curtain alongside his wife in Joyanne Ranger. James takes a gaze out towards the ring and he and his wife head down to the ring while talking strategy.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! Hailing from London, England, weighing in at 243 pounds, accompanied to the ring by Joyanne Ranger…HE IS ‘THE BLACK MAMBA’…JAMES RANGER!!!
Deadprez: Last time we saw James Ranger he was competing in a match against Kassidy Heart in the first round of the King of Elite tournament where unfortunately for Ranger, Kassidy would be victorious. Now Ranger has a chance to bounce back from that loss in a match against Xavier Williams.
Eve: Not just any match, a return match for Xavier Williams. Could you imagine how Xavier would feel if he gets knocked off tonight in his first match back?
Harlow Reichert: If James were to win this match, it would be a very big win for him indeed. However, I’m not hedging my bets on it. I’m going with Xavier Williams for the win here.
(James settles in the ring while his wife whispers words of encouragement, meanwhile, “Raise Up The Lights” is replaced with “Last to Fall” by Starset as a focused and driven Xavier Williams steps from behind the curtain.)
Gina Romano: And his opponent! Residing in Pensacola, Florida, weighing in at 220 pounds…HE IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD…XAVIER WILLIAMS!!!
Eve: What’s the matter, Harlow? It looks like you’re seeing a ghost.
Harlow Reichert: It’s not that, it’s just the fact that Xavier Williams is much different from the last time I saw him. He’s much more focused, he’s much more driven, and he’s hellbent on finding out the identity of the person who attacked him.
Gavin Kirkland: And let’s tell the truth, no reason to lie, we’re all friends here. Is that person he’s looking for you by any chance, Thicclow?
Harlow Reichert: It’s Harlow, and for the last time, I am not the one who attacked Xavier Williams. If anything, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Andrea Valentine. But if it’s not her, I truly do pity the person who it is cause they’ve truly awoken something in him. But please, can everybody just stop accusing me of something I didn’t do? I said it last week, I’ll say it again this week, I would never attack Xavier Williams from behind. Simple as that.
(Both Xavier and Ranger are in their respective corners as “Last to Fall” fades out and the ref signals for the bell to ring.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: There’s the bell and this match is underway! Both competitors starting things off with the traditional route as the two lock up. James getting the early advantage, however, with a side headlock. But Xavier isn’t one to stay in this for long as James gets backed into the corner. Referee steps in to separate these two before the count of five and we thankfully get a clean break. BUT XAVIER WITH A SHOT TO THE HEAD OF JAMES RANGER! MORE SHOTS BY XAVIER TO JAMES RANGER WHO JUST GOES DOWN TO ONE KNEE IN THAT CORNER!
Deadprez: Xavier Williams said it before, Dawg, he’s walking into this match to do one thing and one thing only. Take the head of James Ranger clean off. There is no mercy to be shown in this matchup tonight. And Xavier Williams showing just that by going right after James Ranger once again with strikes. A dazed Ranger gets thrown into the adjacent corner now, BUT RANGER GETS THE BOOT UP ON WILLIAMS WHICH STAGGERED HIM THERE! Ranger now coming out the corner with European uppercuts that will surely jack the jaw of Xavier!
Gavin Kirkland: Williams gets sent off the ropes by James! HIGH KICK GETS AVOIDED BY XAVIER, JAMES TURNS AROUND TO MEET A SUPERKICK BY XAVIER WILLIAMS! James got rocked and stumbles out of the ring after that! XAVIER TAKING THIS MOMENT OF OPPORTUNITY TO- IT WAS LOOKING LIKE XAVIER WAS GOING TO GO FOR SOME SORT OF DIVE TO THE OUTSIDE BUT JAMES GETS OUT OF HARMS WAY IMMEDIATELY! Xavier is able to adapt and moves to the apron where he awaits Ranger to turn around. RANGER DOES, BUT HE ATTEMPTS TO TRIP UP XAVIER ON THAT APRON WHO JUMPS OVER THE ARM OF RANGER! XAVIER WITH A BICYCLE KICK FROM THE APRON THAT DAMN NEAR MAY HAVE KNOCKED THE HEAD OF RANGER CLEAN OFF!
Harlow Reichert: That looked nasty, but that’s the price you pay when you’re in the ring with Xavier. Take it from me, he’s an A-level talent and you can’t make mistakes around him or else that’ll eventually spell out your downfall one way or another. There’s a reason he was undefeated here for some time during Season 14.
Deadprez: Got that right, playa. But now Xavier pursues Ranger who’s leant on the steel steps after feeling the effect kick. Xavier grabs James by the head, BUT JAMES PULLS XAVIER IN BY THE FRONT OF HIS TIGHTS AND XAVIER JUST WENT RIB FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS! James sends Xavier back into the ring, and we have our first pinfall of the match here!
ONNNEEEEE-
Eve: Xavier Williams kicksout! James is doing the smart thing though and looking to stay on Xavier Williams who’s up on knee. JAMES GOES OFF THE ROPES, BUT HE RUNS RIGHT INTO A DROPKICK FROM XAVIER WILLIAMS! Xavier almost kinda lured James in, in a way. James seeks some separation on the ropes, XAVIER WILLIAMS HAS A DIFFERENT IDEA IN MIND AND CHARGES AT JAMES! JAMES TOSSES WILLIAMS ON THE SHOULDER THOUGH, WILLIAMS CAUGHT HIMSELF ON THAT APRON! JAMES TAKES NOTICE AND ATTEMPTS TO STRIKE XAVIER DOWN WHO JUST TAGS HIM WITH A FOREARM STRIKE!
Deadprez: XAVIER TAKES TO THE SKIES AND TAKES JAMES OUT WITH A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE! XAVIER GOING FOR HIS FIRST PIN OF THE MATCH!
ONNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWOOOOOO-
Deadprez: JAMES WITH THE KICKOUT! But that may have done him more harm than good as Xavier heads to the place he’s most familiar with again and that’s to the skies. Xavier ascends the top rope! XAVIER SOARS IN THE AIR- JAMES!! JAMES PULLS THE LEG OF WILLIAMS OUT FROM UNDER HIM AND WILLIAMS GOES CRASHING BACK DOWN TO THE MAT BUT NOT BEFORE HITTING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD ON THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Harlow Reichert: That just emphasizes the risk part in high risk, high reward. Xavier took a little too long and James capitalized on it. While I have hedged my bets on Xav to win here, I wouldn’t be surprised if James could win wrestling like that and being there for every mistake Xavier makes.
Gavin Kirkland: I’m gonna have to agree with you on that, Thiccums! :mjlit:
(Both Eve and Harlow proceed to slap Gavin on the back of his head simultaneously.)
Eve: Anyways, the back of Xavier Williams’ bounced off that top turnbuckle and James is taking advantage of that by PLANTING Xavier down with a German Suplex! If the turnbuckle didn’t do much damage, that certainly will! James doing everything he has to, to get out of that slump!
Deadprez: THAT INCLUDES JAMES ABSOLUTELY SPIKING XAVIER ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD NOW TOO WITH THAT SICKENING DDT! JAMES HOOKS BOTH OF XAVIER’S LEGS FOR A COVER!
ONNNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: XAVIER CONTINUES TO KICKOUT AND GETS THE SHOULDER UP AGAIN! You can see James having a bit of frustration after that kickout and commences kicking Xavier Williams while he’s down.
Gavin Kirkland: Xavier gets brought back to his feet by Ranger who hooks him up for what will seemingly be a Suplex. SUPLE- OH MY GOD! XAVIER COUNTERED WITH A STUNNER! A GROGGY JAMES STAGGERS OFF THE ROPES AFTER THAT STUNNER AND MEETS A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE BY XAVIER WILLIAMS THAT TURNED HIM INSIDE OUT! THE MAMBA IS LYING PRONE AND XAVIER KNOWS WHAT THAT MEANS! XAVIER SHOOTS FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWOOOOOOOO!!
TH-
Deadprez: JAMES ISN’T QUITE DONE YET AND GETS THE KICKOUT IN TIME BEFORE THE THREE! Xavier Williams gets back up to his feet and waits for the recovering James to do the same!
Harlow Reichert: Like a predator would stalk a prey..ASHES OF THE PHOENIX!!
Eve: NOT QUITE! RANGER ABLE TO PLANT HIS FEET DOWN INTO THE MAT BEFORE WILLIAMS COULD BRING HIM DOWN WITH THAT SPRINGBOARD CUTTER! JAMES TRAPS THE HEAD OF WILLIAMS UNDER HIS ARMS AND BRINGS HIM UP TO DROP HIM DOWN FOR THE SUNSET FINISH!! NORTHERN LIGHTS BOMB MAY HAVE SEEMINGLY JUST KNOCKED XAVIER’S LIGHTS OUT AND THE COVER IS MADE BY JAMES INSTANTANEOUSLY!
ONNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHRRRRRREEEEE-
Harlow Reichert: :damn:
Deadprez: I think everyone watching at home including Harlow thought that was possibly it right then and there! But Xavier Williams is still showing those signs of life. James gonna put an end to that right now and head to the top rope for what I’m assuming will be the familiar move in Advent Dawn by Ranger!
Gavin Kirkland: SEEMS LIKE YOU GUESSED RIGHT CAUSE JAMES SOARS DOWN WITH THAT SHOOTING STAR DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!! ..NO! JAMES FORCED TO TUCK AND ROLL AFTER XAVIER MOVED OUT OF THE WAY! JAMES GOES AFTER XAVIER BUT RUNS INTO A SPANISH FLY!!
Eve: IMPRESSIVE BY XAVIER WHO BRINGS RANGER BACK TO HIS FEET! DOUBLE UNDERHOOKS BOTH ARMS, AND RANGER IS LIFTED INTO THAT CANADIAN RACK! JAMES GETS SPUN OUT FOR…DEATH’S DANCE! JAMES WITH THE COUNTER THOUGH AND LANDS DOWN ONTO HIS FEET! JUMPING KNEE BY JAMES RANGER!! THE KNEE OF JAMES RANGER CRACKS XAVIER IN THE JAW!! RANGER ATTEMPTS TO RUN OFF THE ROPES, BUT XAVIER GRABS HIM BY THE WAISTBAND OF HIS GEAR BEFORE HE CAN AND PULLS HIM BACK IN! BUT IT’S RANGER WHO ANSWERS BACK WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! JAMES TRIES TO TAKE OFF AGAIN!
Deadprez: XAVIER KEEPS AHOLD OF THE BACK OF JAMES’ TRUNKS TO PULL HIM BACK IN! BUT THIS TIME JAMES ISN’T ABLE TO ANSWER AND GETS PUT DOWN FOR END OF HEARTACHE! THAT ZIG ZAG PUTS AN END TO THE MOMENTUM OF RANGER!
Harlow Reichert: Now that is gonna be the beginning of the end for James sadly.
Deadprez: Both arms hooked, Ranger again lifted into that Canadian Rack, SPUN OUT FOR THE CORKSCREW NECKBREAKER!! DEATH’S DANCE CONNECTS THIS TIME AND JOYANNE RANGER LOOKS ON WITH NOTHING BUT WORRY FOR HER HUSBAND AS XAVIER HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE PIN!
ONNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE’S YOUR WINNER…XAVIER WILLIAMS!!
(“Last to Fall” is blasted throughout the World 1 for the second time as Xavier Williams gets his hand raised in victory after that hard fought contest.)
Harlow Reichert: If you ask me, it was truly a hard fought contest between Xavier and James tonight, but James just wasn’t quite on the level that Xavier was tonight.
Eve: Yeah, you did hear from Alastair last week who went on the record to say that Xavier has been training harder than ever in his time off.
Harlow Reichert: Yeah, I also heard that Xavier is considering me still a suspect on the list of people who attacked him.
(Harlow turns to the ring where her and Xavier briefly lock eyes from the ring to the announce table, but Xavier proceeds to slide out the ring and head up the ramp while Harlow continues to look on as we fade to black.)
(Commercial advertising Persephone’s new Rex McAllister store near her home. Sexy Rexy mugs, keychains, rugs, plates, clothes, everything you can name.)
(The camera cuts to Gina Romano inside the ring which has been filled with dirt and rows of fresh strawberries. A number of laborers are shown working to harvest the strawberries and place them gently into baskets.)
Gina Romano: Ummm… well ladies and gentlemen at this time I am proud to introduce to you all to the NEWWWWW BIG BERRY BHAMPION… STRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAWWWWWWWWWWWWWBERRRRRRRRRRY STEVE!!!
(‘Escape’ by Rupert Holmes plays as the building becomes unglued. Inspired by the music the strawberries in the ring begin to grow at record speed. All the baskets are quickly filled with the largest, freshest, strawberries that your eyes have ever seen.)
Deadprez: Last week right here on Showdown we witnessed history as Strawberry Steve defeated The Woogieman to win the Big Berry Bhampionship.
Gavin Kirkland: It was truly a night to remember.
Eve: But where is the bhampion?
(The camera cuts to the entranceway but Strawberry Steve is not coming out.)
Deadprez: Damn did he puss out?
(The camera cuts back to the ring where the laborers are shown picking the bounty of strawberries. One of the workers reaches into the strawberry plant to pull something out when they grab a handful of hair.)
???: …
Worker: What the hell…
(With a hard yank the worker pulls the strawberry out but it is not just any strawberry. It is Strawberry Steve himself!)
Deadprez: What the hell? He was in the strawberries?!?!
Gavin Kirkland: He was in his home :wow:
Eve: I think he was just sleeping in there tbh…
(The worker lets go in shock as Strawberry Steve falls to the dirt inside the ring. Suddenly he kips up to his feet and it is revealed he is wearing the Big Berry Bhampionship on his waist. He dusts off the dirt from his jeans as he grabs a strawberry from a basket and takes a bite.)
Crowd: OASPFOJASPOJPAPASJOPOASHIOSAHFOIASHFAS
Deadprez: What the hell?!?!? Strawberry Steve just ate a strawberry!
Gavin Kirkland: I can’t watch this! That’s cannibalism!
Eve: Please for the love of god take your children out of the room! This isn’t Voltage!
(Gina Romano hands Strawberry Steve the microphone but he puts his hands into his pockets. So Gina puts the microphone into his pocket as well before leaving the ring.)
Deadprez: Umm well I was told that this would be Strawberry Steve’s open challenge here tonight but he doesn’t seem interested in actually making the challenge.
Crowd: STRAWB! STRAWB! STRAWB!
(Strawberry Steve reluctantly removes his hands from his pocket knocking the microphone to the ground in the process. He reaches into his jacket and pulls out a large strawberry smoothie with a straw. He sets it on the ground before reaching down and picking up the microphone. He places the microphone inside the strawberry smoothie before giving a lazy looking thumbs up to the crowd.)
Crowd: *dies*
Gavin Kirkland: We are witnessing greatness tonight Eve! We are not worthy!
Eve: Damn that microphone was expensive though.
Deadprez: I am being told from backstage that we do have someone who is very eager to accept this open challenge here tonight. It looks like regardless of whether or not Strawberry Steve actually feels up to making the challenge he is still going to have to defend that Big Berry Bhampionship here tonight!
(Gina Romano is shown receiving a replacement microphone at ringside.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for…
Virtual Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: ONE FALL! And it is for the Big Berry Bhampionship!
(A Big Berry Bhampionship graphic appears on screen with a number of animated strawberries flying across the screen for added effect.)
Virtual Crowd: WOOGIE! WOOGIE! WOOGIE!
???: Oh so you want Woogie huh? Well don’t mind me. It sure seems that I always end up in places where I am not wanted. This is the ooc vibe that I really just cannot stand…
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Deadprez: Oh no could it be?
(The camera pans upward to the stage where Cac DeMarco is shown making his way to the ring carrying a microphone.)
Cac DeMarco: Oh I see how it is. Are you kidding me? Can a cac get some theme music around here? Apparently not. Apparently we just don’t get to have nice things. Let’s not forget that we cacs built this country! From the ground up! Hard working country boys never get their due. Meanwhile lazy pieces of white trash like Strawberry Steve just laze around and get rewarded. A championship? Why do you get a championship and I don’t? What have you done around here that me and my people didn’t already pave the way for?
Strawberry Steve: *shrugs*
Cac DeMarco: I swear to God, first it’s that idiot Bronson Daniels interrupting my shopping at Walmart and volunteering me to be a weapon, and now this?! He shamed me for not wearing a mask in public, and I’m sick of it! MY BODY, MY CHOICE! You know more people die of the flu than that overblown China virus?! Do you know if you die in a car accident but tested positive, they mark it down as a COVID death and inflate the numbers?! Do you know they hid the vaccines until after the election to make President Trump look bad?!?! Wake up people, the pandemic is not that big of a deal and President Trump was right and you all could learn things from him! He is MY president and all of YOUR president! It’s only a matter of time before justice is served for the voter fraud and Trump is sworn in as president for FOUR MORE YEARS! :blessed: :blessed: :blessed: I’m tired of the disrespect of our president, and to this cac!
(DeMarco clears his throat ready to speak again.)
Cac DeMarco: I put in the work that you are too lazy to Steve. But do I get any appreciation for it? Any respect? Any love? No! I don’t even get theme music! I spend every minute of every day simping in the DMs of the women in this very EAW locker room and yet they all ignore me! I’m not even talking about sweet talking Sarah Price my first day here on social media. All I want is for them to give me at least one nude. Not even a nude maybe wearing some sexy lingerie with a nipple hanging out or something. Come on just give a cac something! After all we have been here from the beginning and we built this place.
Strawberry Steve: *lays down to sleep in the ring*
Cac DeMarco: Oh am I boring you Steve? What a shock. What a fucking surprise! Again with the disrespect just because I am a cac! I have been discriminated against more than anyone in EAW history and it is time for me to fight back! I am going to take the bitches by force. This is the end of simp DeMarco and it is time for the whole world to know just what kind of chad I really am!
Eve: I blocked this guy so many times already… he just keeps making new accounts to simp in my DMs and send me dick pics. I heard he has sent them to so many people on the roster.
Gavin Kirkland: Well…..
Deadprez: HUH?! :skip:
Gavin Kirkland: Well actually I think I’m the only one I know of he has sent dick pics too.
Eve: Eew. Gross. So you blocked him too?
Gavin Kirkland: Uh yeah that’s right. I blocked him. Didn’t reply with one of my own pics at all.
Deadprez: :skip:
Eve: Well anyway it looks like we are going to have a match. I don’t know how DeMarco is even alive after that Glass Crypt match and competing in Ahren’s gauntlet match on Voltage a few months ago, but apparently he is still here to wrestle for EAW. Unfortunately.
Gavin Kirkland: Cac DeMarco was on the front lines at the insurrection at the Capitol! He is ready for anything! I heard he was even simping in Nancy Pelosi’s DMs! What an absolute stud!
Eve: I can really just feel the clothes melting off my body when I think about it.
Gavin Kirkland: :whoa:
Eve: I’m being sarcastic obviously.
Gavin Kirkland: :noah:
Deadprez: Well the production truck has shut off Cac DeMarco’s microphone as he is entering the ring to compete in this open challenge.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Well at least he actually made it to the ring this time. In the Glass Crypt Match he couldn’t even get that far.
Gavin Kirkland: See he is improving.
Cac DeMarco (off-mic): You won’t be getting anymore DMs from me Steve! No! The only thing you will be getting from me is Cac Power rising again here tonight to bring you the pain!
Strawberry Steve: O.
(Strawberry Steve reaches down and picks a strawberry. He flicks it at Cac DeMarco who suddenly begins to scream in terror.)
Deadprez: Wait what the hell?!?!
(The camera zooms in as it is revealed to be a barbed wire strawberry and it stuck its barbs right in the eye of Cac DeMarco!)
Cac DeMarco: NO! Get it out! Get it out! I can’t see!
(Cac DeMarco rips the strawberry out of his eye but Strawberry Steve is already reaching down to pick another one. He flicks it towards DeMarco!)
Eve: Oh god I can’t watch this!!!
(This time the barbed wire strawberry lands right in between the eyes of Cac DeMarco. He flinches before picking the strawberry out of his skin. Blood pours down his wrinkly deformed face and drips onto the ground.)
Cac DeMarco: HAHAHA YOU MISSED! DUMB IDIOT! YOU CAN NEVER BE AS INTELLIGENT AS A CAC!!!
**BANG**
Deadprez: HOLY SHIT THE STRAWBERRY JUST EXPLODED!!! WAIT… WHAT?!?
Gavin Kirkland: That wasn’t a normal explosion…
Eve: The strawberry explodes projecting burning liquid right into the eyes of Cac DeMarco! He screams in horror as he raises up his hands to cover his burning eyes.
Cac DeMarco: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NO! I CAN’T SEEE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
(Cac DeMarco falls to the ground, his phone falling out of his pocket as he begins to writhe in pain and starts crying on the mat. Strawberry Steve walks over and goes for the cover.)
Deadprez: This has to be it!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! THRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
**BUZZ**
Eve: Hmm? What?
Deadprez: It looks like Strawberry Steve broke the cover at the sound of that buzzing noise…
Gavin Kirkland: It looks like it is Cac DeMarco’s phone! Wow he is still using an iPhone 3!
(Strawberry Steve picks up the phone and selects the notification. The screen opens up to Cac DeMarco’s social media account @SexyCac69 where it appears he has received a response in his direct messages.)
Strawberry Steve: Hmm…
(Strawberry Steve dramatically raises up his finger before selecting the Direct Message. His eyes open wide at what he has just seen as he nearly drops the device.)
Eve: Oh god we don’t need to see that.
Gavin Kirkland: WOOOOOO LOOK AT THOSE! HOLY SHIT! SHE’S INCREDIBLE! IS SHE IN EAW???
Deadprez: I am surprised that out of the hundreds of people he simped for that even one would give him nudes.
Eve: Let’s be honest. It probably isn’t even really her. Or it’s a guy pretending. Probably just googled porn and linked that.
Gavin Kirkland: Don’t ruin this for me Eve!
Cac DeMarco: YEAH DON’T RUIN THIS FOR ME EVE! OMG SOMEONE REPLIED! LET ME SEE! LET ME SEE!!
(Strawberry Steve slowly reaches down and hands Cac DeMarco the smartphone. He licks his lips as he brings the DMs up to his face.)
Cac DeMarco: Yes… yes… come to daddy. I know you want some cac in your life baby.
(Cac DeMarco is shown looking at his phone with a puzzled look.)
Cac DeMarco: …
Eve: Wait… what’s going on?
Cac DeMarco: …no.
Deadprez: …
Cac DeMarco: NO! NOOOOOOO!!! NO!! NO! NO!
(Cac DeMarco drops the phone as he begins shaking uncontrollably.)
Cac DeMarco: I CAN’T SEE THEM! WHY? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME STEVE? DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE SIMPED FOR THIS?!?!? DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE TRIED! AND NOW… FINALLY ONE OF THEM REPLIED! I COULD HAVE SEEN HER NUDES STEVE! BUT YOU HAVE TAKEN THEM FROM ME! I HATE YOU! THIS WOULDN’T HAVE HAPPENED IF I WASN’T A CAC!!!
(Cac DeMarco curls up into the fetal position on the ground and begins to cry uncontrollably as Strawberry Steve just stands there eating strawberries.)
Cac DeMarco: I even linked them pictures of my kids… I mean they weren’t even my actual kids… They were just some kids I found at the playground. You know how much I like to sit there on the bench watching them have their little fun times. But she thought they were my real kids!
Eve: I can confirm I didn’t actually think they were his real kids. Even if they were, the girl prolly lied.
Cac DeMarco: Everyone thinks I am cool enough to have had sex enough times to have children. Wait… which one is this. Come on Steve tell me! Is she backstage? Maybe she is still here! Maybe if I go backstage she will show me in person!
(Cac DeMarco kips up in the ring with impressive agility the likes of which he has never before shown in his career.)
Cac DeMarco: I’m going to see nudes in real life! Hahaha fuck this trash ass bhampionship! That is worthless compared to what this cac is going to get!
(Strawberry Steve tightens his fist.)
Gavin Kirkland: STRAWBERRY STEVE ROLLS UP CAC DEMARCO FROM BEHIND!!! THE FRUIT ROLL UP!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… and STILLLLLLLLLLL THE BIG BERRY BHAMPION!!! STRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAWBERRRRRRRRRRRRRY STEVE!!!!!!!!!
(‘Escape’ by Rupert Holmes hits as the referee hands Strawberry Steve the Big Berry Bhampionship. But he just drops it and instead picks another strawberry to eat. The referee picks up the title and fastens it around his waist so it doesn’t fall again.)
Eve: Big win here tonight by the bhamp! But was there ever any doubt?!?!?
**BUZZ**
Gavin Kirkland: Hmm? Another message on Cac DeMarco’s smartphone?
(Cac DeMarco is shown crawling across the ring to get to his phone.)
Cac DeMarco: Wait… my vision… It is cloudy but it is coming back! The effects of that flame fougasse strawberry was only temporary! Yes! This is what happens when you have superior cac genetics!!! You were worth the wait baby! Now let me see what you got!
(Cac DeMarco reaches his phone and is barely able to pick it up with how much he is sweating from anticipation.)
Cac DeMarco: What… no. This can’t be? This can’t be right!
(The camera zooms in on the DMs where it appears the picture that was there before is no longer visible.)
Cac DeMarco: What? But it was just here… I know it was…
(Suddenly another message comes in the DMs.)
Sexy Woman In DMs: Oopsy! Accidentally sent you one of my private pics! Haha that was meant for my boyfriend! Oh please don’t tell him about this little mistake! Hopefully you didn’t get the wrong idea. I like you more as a friend OK? I mean kind of friends. You send a lot of creepy messages but I guess that is kind of cute. Well maybe I’ll message you again someday, but don’t be surprised if I don’t, but again, but sorry about that! Haha hope I looked good tho! <3 <3 <3
(Cac DeMarco drops his phone as he collapses in the ring shaking uncontrollable as tears fall down his face.)
Eve: Damn the friend zone is rough. But honestly I am surprised that he even has a friend.
Deadprez: Well it did say “kind of friends” I’m not sure that is even a zone.
(Strawberry Steve is shown walking over to Cac DeMarco and hands him the strawberry shake to make him feel better.)
Gavin Kirkland: Damn what a caring bhampion. Even showing the love to a cac in need. :wow:
(Cac DeMarco begins to drink from the strawberry smoothie but the microphone that Strawberry Steve put in there earlier falls out slamming right into DeMarco’s face knocking him out cold on the mat.)
Eve: Oh. Damn. That had to hurt. But at least we can all be comforted in knowing that Strawberry Steve is still now and forever the Big Berry Bhampion!!!!
(Strawberry Steve is shown falling asleep back into the strawberry plants disappearing from view. The ringside crew is shown looking annoyed as they come out having to clear all this shit up before the next match.)
(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring Ronan Malosi promoting a sale on game meat at Applebee’s.)
(Showdown returns from commercial break and cuts to the ringside area. The virtual crowd is already booing and that’s because during the break, Drake King had made his way to the ringside area. For the last couple of minutes, he’s been pacing the ring and purposely irritating the crowd. While the #BoycottKOE movement didn’t exactly get the backing Drake had hoped for, all was not lost. Drake vowed to make sure the crown did not fall into the wrong hands this time since no one would cancel the tournament, and thus far, he’s made good on that promise. He may have paid for it last week on Voltage after taking a nasty beating at the hands of Insurgency, but Drake seems to be in good spirits tonight. Why he’s decided to show up on Showdown is anyone’s guess, but as Drake removes a microphone from the folds of his golden Jesus robes, the noise of the crowd gets even louder. They may be a virtual crowd, but still want to make their voices heard and they want to let Drake know they don’t like him at all.)
(Drake soaks up the reaction, stopping in the middle of the ring to let the boos shower him. The Messiah closes his eyes and leans his head back, raising his arms up towards the heavens. It’s almost as if he is in silent prayer and knowing Drake, he probably is. He’s undoubtedly praying to himself for the salvation of everyone who still believes that King of Elite is a good idea, and after he finishes, he blesses himself.)
Drake King: Good evening.
(The collective groaning of the audience can not be disguised.)
Drake King: I appreciate that. I wish you all nothing but the best. Unfortunately, I must save the pleasantries for another day because I’m afraid that tonight isn’t going to be the best of nights. The four people left in the King of Elite tournament for Showdown represent the absolute worst of the worst. I really don’t know where to begin when it comes to discussing my thoughts and feelings towards Kassidy Heart, Ronan Malosi, Dr. Bethany Blue, and Consuela Rose Ava. Short of something drastic happening, one of those four people will find themselves with a chance to headline a free-per-view and that is not okay. It’s sad, because things never had to get this far out of hand if Captain Charisma, Ryan Wilson, StarrStan, and Veena Adams would have just listened to me. Four undeserving people who care about nothing other than themselves and trophies wouldn’t find themselves in a position to potentially win something that would give them a world championship shot. None of them deserve to be a champion at any level, let alone carry something that is sadly held in such high regard as a world championship. It’s really sad that it’s come to this, and the whole reason I’m here at Showdown tonight is to observe these four in action.
(Drake pauses for absolutely no reason except to be dramatic.)
Drake King: I really don’t expect much because this is Showdown. I understand this is supposed to be the flagship show of EAW, but the brand itself has certainly dropped the ball this season. This brand is full of bad apples and when you have someone like Ryan Wilson calling the shots, it’s easy to see why certain people have been allowed to have a bigger role than what they deserve. I hope to help change Showdown for the better because ultimately it’s a part of my EAW. Ultimately I want to cleanse all three brands and make them enjoyable, but I understand that this is a marathon and not a sprint. I am a patient man, and I am in this for the long haul. I will make sure the EAW Universe is given the product they deserve, and that is one that has an emphasis on pure wrestling and the thrill of competition. There won’t be frivolous things such as King of Elite and world championships to lust after. The only things that will matter are the matches themselves and the athletes inside the ring. Imagine a world where two people square off against one another just for the heck of it! :drakelike: They put on a great match and shake hands after the fact. That day will come even if I have to get my hands dirty in the process to make sure it happens.
(A serene smile crosses Drake’s face.)
Drake King: As far as tonight goes, like I said, I will be watching. I truly don’t want to see any of these individuals succeed tonight. It’s pretty sad that Ronan Malosi is the only man left standing for Showdown. As much as I don’t agree with women being allowed in the King of Elite tournament, I don’t think Ronan should represent this brand in the finals either. We are darned if we do, darned if we don’t, I think, and it’s going to be interesting to see how everything plays out tonight. So Ronan and Kassidy, do you best tonight, and please, for the love of your Messiah, keep the match clean. There is no need to bite, cheat, or do anything to further damage your respective reputations. Kassidy, you are selfish and unappreciative of the career you have been given, and Ronan, you are delusional and unworthy of ever competing at a higher level. As far as Bethany and Consuela go, well, my feelings are pretty strong. The Ava family is perhaps the most evil family this sport has ever seen. They are all corrupt. Bethany herself is nothing more than a fraud. She does not belong. I hate being so harsh, but I already know none of them are going to heed my warnings. They aren’t going to listen to me even though it’s in their best interests, and that makes my job a lot harder. I would save them all if they would allow me in, but all of them are going to turn their noses up at what I have to offer, even Ronan, who just wants to make sure I give him a free ride into the semi-finals. Tsk. Tsk.
(Drake shakes his head.)
Drake King: It doesn’t work that way; not at all. Eventually all of you will fall in line but until then, I must wait. I wish everyone the best tonight and please, don’t mind me. I’m just going to watch the matches quietly. Thank you.
(Drake lowers the microphone and makes his way out of the ring. He gives the microphone to Gina, who gets into the ring, ready to make her introductions for tonight’s first quarterfinal match.)
(“Fire Storm A” by Herman’s Langschwert and Wolfgang Killian plays through the speakers as the crowd gives a negative reception to Ronan Malosi, who is soaking in the negative reception from the crowd.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS A SECOND ROUND MATCH IN THE 2020 KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT AND IT’S SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL —
Virtual Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA…WEIGHING IN 265 POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE HOT TAKES KING’…RONAN MALOSI!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Here is a man that not many people believed that would be in this position. He managed to defeat Alexis Chambers last week on Showdown, but it wasn’t without controversy. Thanks to a distraction from Ryan Wilson, it allowed Ronan Malosi a spot in this match!
Eve: The Maidens of Malpractice and their issues with Chained Fury began a few weeks ago with them being guests in the “Rated R&R” show, but it was obvious that Chained Fury had an objective to get underneath their skin.
Deadprez: More like Ronan did, but Ryan did go out of their way to apologize to them last week, but it seemed like these four aren’t on the same page at all. But with all this talk about Ronan Malosi wanting to take part of the King of Elite tournament, he got his wish after an injury with Andrea Valentine forced her on the shelf. It seemed like a blessing in disguise for Ronan.
Gavin Kirkland: He calls himself Showdown’s last hope for a man to represent the brand and with Drake King’s presence at ringside, I begin to wonder if Drake will do anything to help Ronan out.
(“Monster” by Kayne West replaces “Fire Storm A” as Kassidy Heart walks out with a focused look on her face. Her sights are set on destroying Ronan Malosi and just that.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT…FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA… SHE IS ‘THE MAULER’…KASSIDY HEART!!!!!
Eve: When dealing with Kassidy Heart, Ronan Malosi is going to need ALL the help he could get, but you can tell that Ronan is feeling quite confident in himself. He put on a show with Mr. DEDEDE at the Christmas show in Sweden. It was a match that he felt robbed of, but Kassidy looks like he wants to shut him up and defeating him is an excellent way of doing that.
Deadprez: Kassidy Heart is a favorite in this tournament to win. She is someone who I could see making history and representing the brand. It’s been a while since Showdown was home of the King of Elite crown. The last time that happened was with Malcolm Jones in 2018. It’s been three years, but Kassidy could be the answer to all of that and take the crown back home.
Gavin Kirkland: Any of the final four from our bracket would be fine representatives at King of Elite, but who will be going to the semi-finals? We’re going to find that out right now!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(As the bell rings, Ronan Malosi looks at Drake King, who will be observing this match.)
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) You’re in the presence of greatness, Drake. I will do you the favor of worrying about one less woman —
Gavin Kirkland: He isn’t just stepping into the ring with just a woman! That’s Kassidy fucking Heart that he’s dealing with as she just took him down from behind! :damn: :damn: :damn: Ronan Malosi collapses to the ground as Kassidy begins to stomp the living hell out of ‘The Hot Takes King!’ Ronan is trying to shield himself from ‘The Mauler’s’ stomps, but Kassidy manages to step on the side of his face, pressing down on the ropes as she demands for the referee to count! I think it’s best not to waste her time, ref! :lupe:
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE —
Eve: Kassidy Heart delivers one last stomp to the side of Ronan Malosi’s head before the referee decides to back her away for a moment, but at the first sign of Ronan getting to his feet, Kassidy rushes towards him before grabbing him by the nape of his neck! Ronan is screaming! Kassidy is digging her nails into the nape of his neck as that takes the bigger man down to his knees! Kassidy delivers a harsh knee to Ronan’s face as that knocks him forward! Kassidy jumps over him before rebounding herself off the set of ropes behind Ronan and knocking him down once again with a penalty kick! Kassidy hooks the leg on Ronan!
OOOOOONNNNNEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWW–
Deadprez: Ronan Malosi kicks out! Kassidy Heart begins to elbow the side of Ronan’s neck before applying a neck crank takedown, but it seems like Ronan is trying to use some of his energy to get himself to his feet, but Kassidy is doing a great job with keeping him grounded for a bit before she transitions to a side headlock. Now, it seems like Ronan sees that as his opening as he tries to push the former National Elite Champion to her side, but Kassidy manages to elbow the back of Ronan’s knee, which sends him down to one of his knees before Kassidy follows that up with a spiked hurricanrana which she calls ‘Norvina Lights!’ Ronan falls face first, but Kassidy doesn’t seem to be done here! I think that she’s really looking to inflict as much pain and punishment onto Ronan!
Gavin Kirkland: When Kassidy Heart is in a match, it’s really difficult to knock her off her focus. The moment that someone does though, they need to capitalize as soon as possible! Kassidy manages to get her hands on Ronan’s right arm before applying a standing armbar on him! She is wrenching on that arm, which is applying more pressure. Perhaps, she’s eliminating moves that Ronan could potentially do to win her the match. A majority of his signature moves involve the arms in some sort of way and by riding Ronan on one of his arms, it may make it difficult for him to execute those moves.
Eve: He could always go for the other arm, Gavin.
Gavin Kirkland: He doesn’t strike me as a leftie tho. :lupe:
Deadprez: Kassidy Heart gets Ronan Malosi’s right arm before bending it back…AND SHE DELIVERS A HUGE STOMP TO IT! Ronan squirms around like a fish out of water in pain! KASSIDY NOW GETS RONAN TO HIS FEET BEFORE HAVING HER EYES SET ON THE TURNBUCKLE AT ONE OF THE CORNERS BEFORE THROWING RONAN RIGHT SHOULDER FIRST AGAINST THE RING POST AT THE CORNER! IT SEEMS LIKE HE ALSO LANDED ON THAT RIGHT ARM OF HIS A BIT! STILL, THE LANDING DOESN’T LOOK QUITE PRETTY AT ALL! KASSIDY EXITS THE RING AND STANDS ON THE APRON BEFORE GETTING RONAN’S RIGHT ARM AND WON’T YOU LOOK AT THAT! SHE’S APPLYING AN ARM BAR AS THE UPPER PART OF HER BODY IS DANGLING FROM THE OUTSIDE! That increased the pain in Ronan Malosi, who is trying to pull herself away from Kassidy, but it seems like the referee may need to start another count!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET GO KASSIDY!
Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy Heart is showing some athleticism and flips herself to her feet, but she’s never the one to showboat or show off. She’s focused on ripping her opponents apart. She rolls herself back inside the ring as Ronan finds himself at the corner, clutching to his right arm, but Kassidy rushes towards him with a meteora at the corner! KASSIDY BEGINS TO STOMP ON RONAN’S BODY BEFORE PRESSING HER FOOT AGAINST HIS FACE AND HOLDING IT THERE! IT SEEMS LIKE THE REFEREE MAY COUNT HER AGAIN!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Eve: Kassidy is doing a great job with wearing down her bigger opponent. It’s obvious that Ronan Malosi has a weight and size advantage, but Kassidy is shorter and faster than him. She may be able to tire him out and in the process, keep him down long enough to inflict as much pain as she can! She releases her foot off Ronan’s face before trying to get the bigger man up to his feet! Ronan isn’t the lightest person possible, but Kassidy manages to get him up with almost no effort! Kassidy connects with a nasty looking forearm to Ronan before taking a step back! It seems like she’s going to go for the move that was made famous by her husband and Chairman of the Board, Mr. DEDEDE!
Deadprez: THE RAPTURE TO RONAN MALOSI AT THE CORNER!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: No! Ronan Malosi springs back to life and manages to catch Kassidy Heart’s foot before she manages to connect with that helluva kick! Ronan connects with a dragon screw leg whip as he manages to take ‘The Mauler’ down! Slowly, it seems like Ronan is getting to his feet! He seems to be favoring that right arm of his, which Kassidy Heart was targeting earlier in this match. Kassidy seems to be scrambling to an all fours position, BUT RONAN MANAGES TO GET A FISTFULL OF HER HAIR BEFORE PICKING HER UP LIKE SHE’S A RAGDOLL AND THROWING HER TO THE CORNER! NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE IT’S RONAN’S TURN TO INFLICT SOME PAIN!
Eve: Ronan Malosi manages to sush the EAW Universe before delivering one of the most painful looking slaps to the chest of Kassidy Heart! For someone like Kassidy, who prides herself in having a high pain tolerance, you can see her chest getting red and the look on her face, trying to hide the pain! Ronan looks back at Drake King, almost like he’s hoping that he’s getting Drake’s attention, before delivering another huge slap to the chest of Kassidy! Once again, Kassidy has that look on her face that’s more than trying to fight through the pain! Out of everyone in this match, it seems like Ronan is the only one acknowledging Drake! Do you think that he sees Drake as someone that can help him out in this match?
Deadprez: Drake has established that he doesn’t think that Ronan Malosi has a shot at defeating Kassidy Heart, but that doesn’t mean that Ronan is not going to show off! He thinks that he’s better than Kassidy! He thinks that he has a clear shot at defeating Kassidy! Ronan’s ego is through the roof after defeating Alexis Chambers last week. Can you imagine the arrogance that will seep through him if he manages to defeat Kassidy Heart?
Eve: I’m trying not to envision that, DP.
Gavin Kirkland: Like Kassidy Heart would ever let that happen! Ronan Malosi gets Kassidy by her arm before whipping her towards the other corner! Kassidy looked like she was trying to halt his momentum, but Ronan’s whip was so quick that she was unable to do that! Kassidy crashes to that other corner and before she has a chance to settle down and Ronan comes right after her with a running body splash, which makes Kassidy collapse to a seated position! NOW, IT’S RONAN’S TURN TO STOMP ON KASSIDY’S BODY AT THE CORNER BEFORE GETTING HIS FOOT AND PRESSING IT AGAINST KASSIDY’S FACE! HE IS RUBBING HIS BOOT ON HER FACE AS THE REFEREE BEGINS HIS COUNT!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Eve: Ronan Malosi slowly gets his foot off Kassidy Heart’s face and it’s revealed that her makeup is a bit smeared now. The lipstick that she wore is around her face now. I think that Ronan has a goal of embarrassing Kassidy, but that’s not really a bright thing for him to do! She can really get back at him in the most devastating way possible, but he picks up Kassidy by his hair again before lifting her off his feet and connecting with a body slam! Kassidy is slammed to the mat as she is shown clutching her back in pain as she tries to make it back to her feet! BUT, RONAN MANAGES TO GET HER BACK IN HIS POSSESSION BEFORE THROWING HER TOWARDS THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES, WHICH SHE REBOUNDS OFF QUICKLY, BUT RONAN MANAGES TO TAKE HER DOWN WITH A HUGE LARIAT! KASSIDY GOES DOWN AS HE GOES FOR THE COVER ON HER!
OOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTWWWW–
Deadprez: Kassidy Heart kicks out! It’s going to be difficult to take her down! Drake King’s presence at ringside is something that we can’t forget either. We all know how much he’s been against King of Elite as a whole. He even started #BoycottKOE on social media and there’s no telling what he will do to make sure that this tournament doesn’t progress any further than it is right now. Ronan gets Kassidy on his shoulders in reverse fireman’s carry position before looking at Drake King’s way.
Gavin Kirkland: THIS MAN IS NOW BENCH PRESSING KASSIDY HEART! RONAN MALOSI HAS HIS EYES ON DRAKE KING AS HE’S BENCH PRESSING KASSIDY HEART BEFORE BENCH PRESSING ONE FINAL TIME BEFORE THROWING HER BEHIND HIM! Kassidy lands harshly on her stomach as Ronan takes his focus off of Drake and onto his opponent again! Kassidy is clutching her ribs in pain! She landed on her stomach in a very uncomfortable way as she tried to get herself to her knees! Ronan looks at Kassidy with a smirk on his face! It seems like he has Kassidy right where he wants her — not just on her knees, but in a vulnerable state!
Eve: You had to put a sex joke there, but it does seem like Ronan Malosi is having fun with taking down Kassidy Heart. Ronan is looking down at ‘The Mauler,’ almost like he believes that she’s inferior to him, but Kassidy is exchanging a death glare at Ronan, before she mutters something to Ronan, but the audio fails to capture what Kassidy says to him, but Ronan takes a step back before delivering a big boot that takes Kassidy to her back! Now, Ronan manages to pick up Kassidy by her hair again, but Kassidy is showing some fight in her by trying to throw some precise kicks at ‘The Hot Takes King.’ It startles Ronan Malosi for a moment, but he manages to use his other leg to sweep Kassidy off her feet before picking her up and connecting with a standing elbow drop to the chest of the former National Elite Champion!
Deadprez: Ronan is having a ball while picking apart Kassidy. We knew that Kassidy was going to have SOME disadvantage in this match, but Ronan is really rising to the occasion so far! Kassidy just needs ONE opening. She needs one moment where Ronan’s eyes are not on the prize and with the few occasions that he’s paid attention to Drake, it may be easier for Ronan to take his focus off of Kassidy and onto our guest at ringside!
(Ronan Malosi is stalking Kassidy Heart to her feet, almost like he’s taunting her, which is going to piss off Kassidy even more.)
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) Is this what ‘The Mauler’ is all about? People are really afraid of this bitch? :mjlol: Hell naw, I’m bodying this bitch right now. She got nothing on me.
Gavin Kirkland: With Kassidy Heart starting to scramble to her feet, Ronan Malosi beats her to the punch and gets her to her feet first, but it seems like Ronan is trying to get Kassidy in position for his go-to finisher, ‘Death-Ro,’ the swinging sto. Ronan swings her up —
Eve: NO! KASSIDY HEART CONNECTS WITH AN ARM DDT ON RONAN MALOSI’S INJURED RIGHT ARM AS SHE MANAGES TO STAGGER BACK THE BIGGER MAN. KASSIDY IS CLUTCHING TO HER RIBS BEFORE SHE RUNS TOWARDS HIM, NAILING HIM DOWN WITH A DROPKICK TO HIS STOMACH, WHICH KNOCKS HIM DOWN TO HIS KNEES! Now, it’s Kassidy’s turn to look down on Ronan before she begins to hit him with a series of precise kicks to the face! Each kick is knocking back Ronan, but he manages to keep his balance after a while! After one, last precise shoot kick to the face, she takes a few steps back before taking him down with a flawless shining wizard!
Deadprez: NO! RONAN MALOSI MANAGES TO DUCK AT THE LAST SECOND BEFORE USING ALL OF HER MOMENTUM TO ROLL HER UP! HE IS LOOKING TO SNEAK AWAY WITH THE VICTORY RIGHT NOW?!?
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! KASSIDY HEART MANAGES TO ROLL HERSELF OUT OF THE ROLL UP ATTEMPT, BUT SHE MANAGES TO TAKE DOWN RONAN MALOSI WITH A GIANT KNEE STRIKE! THAT SEEMED TO KNOCK THE LIGHTS OUT OF RONAN MALOSI, WHO MANAGED TO ROLL HIMSELF OUT OF THE RING! This was the smartest thing that Ronan can do at the moment! But, it seems like Kassidy is not going to be wasting anytime! I don’t think that she would want to win this match via count out. It would not be like her to take a victory like that. She wants to be able to defeat Ronan on her own miert. Kassidy is looking at the ropes behind her before she rebounds herself off of them and launches herself through the middle rope, taking Ronan down with a suicide dive!
Eve: Kassidy finds the energy to get back to her feet quickly as Ronan is trying to scramble back to his feet, but Kassidy slams him onto the front of our announce table! Ronan collapses down to a seated position before beginning to stomp on Ronan again! She picks up Ronan by the nape of his neck before slamming him face first against the hard part of the apron! But, it seems like Kassidy is not done with that! SHE GRABS RONAN BY HIS NECK BEFORE SLAMMING HIS FACE AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE APRON AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! KASSIDY THROWS RONAN BEHIND HER AFTER THAT LAST ONE, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S NOT DONE THERE AS SHE GETS RONAN BY HIS HEAD BEFORE THROWING HIM TOWARDS THE BARRICADE! The referee’s count is at five, but Kassidy rolls herself into the ring and back out, so that the referee’s count can start over again!
Deadprez: That’s the Chairman’s wife and if Kassidy’s REALLY feeling like it, all she can do is give a glare to the referee and he doesn’t need to count her. But, it seems like Kassidy doesn’t really need to go through all of that to prove a point to Ronan. She believes that she’s better than Ronan Malosi. She believes that she’ll wipe the floor with Ronan, so there should be no struggles with taking him down! Kassidy rolls herself back into the ring, but it seems like she’s getting on the top turnbuckle! What in the world does ‘The Mauler’ have planned next?
Gavin Kirkland: HER BACK IS TURNED AGAINST RONAN MALOSI AT RINGSIDE AS KASSIDY HEART FLIES OFF THE TOP ROPE! KASSIDY WITH A MOONSAULT AS SHE MANAGES TO TAKE RONAN DOWN ONCE AGAIN! A WONDERFUL HIGH RISK MANEUVER, BUT DID IT PAY OFF FOR HER? With both of these Elitists are down, it seems like the referee is going to begin with his counting.
(The referee begins his count, but for a while, there’s little movement from either Elitist. It wasn’t until the count of six where Kassidy Heart showed some signs of life. A second later, Ronan Malosi begins to slowly rise to her feet and barely by the count of them, the two Elitists are inside the ring. This match still goes on, but Kassidy manages to get to her feet first, before pulling Ronan by his arm.)
Eve: Kassidy Heart whips Ronan Malosi to the corner as she bolts towards him, hitting him face first with a ‘Rapture’ helluva kick! Ronan stumbles forward as Kassidy is quick to follow that up with a running bulldog on him! Instead of going for a cover, it seems like Kassidy is up to her feet quickly as she manages to get Ronan by one of his legs! Are we going to see that gorgeous figure-eight leg lock?
Deadprez: NOT QUITE, EVE! IT SEEMS LIKE WE’RE GOING TO GET ‘XOXO KASS PART II’, THE SPINNING INVERTED FIGURE-EIGHT LEG LOCK ON RONAN MALOSI! IF RONAN DIDN’T THINK THAT HE WAS IN TROUBLE THEN, HE WOULD BE RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN HEAR RONAN JUST SCREAMING IN PAIN! That inverted figure-eight leg lock is not a pleasant move to have applied on your legs. Ronan is just conflicted on what he should be doing right now. He does not want to throw this match away! He considers himself one of Showdown’s last hopes in having a man represent them at King of Elite. Now, despite what Drake may think of Ronan’s chances in this match, you gotta wonder what Drake is thinking about looking in this match. He seems quite focused on the action.
Gavin Kirkland: Well, he’s getting an up close look on some of the best wrestling in this company. We’re not like the death trap called ‘Voltage’ or low point called ‘Dynasty.’ We’re Showdown and we’re fucking proud of that. Ronan sees himself as the reason for the ratings that Showdown has, but right now, he could be the reason why Showdown will have a woman represent them.
Eve: Ronan Malosi is clutching his fist and trying to fight through the pain. For Ronan, if he’s able to ignore the pain for just a moment and power through to grab onto that middle rope, it could mean the difference between victory and loss! Now, Kassidy would love to get a submission victory here. She managed to get one with James Ranger two weeks ago on Showdown and she would love nothing more than to get another one here!
Deadprez: But, it seems like she won’t be getting one in this particular moment as Ronan Malosi is trying to dig his fists closer to the bottom rope! He is really trying to show some heart and not submit here! There’s no shame in him submitting and he’s established that on a few occasions, but he claims that he’s “built different” and that there’s no man or woman that is going to take him down! Kassidy can slowly feel her grasp on Ronan Malosi slipping away from her as he uses all of his strength to drag himself to the bottom rope. Kassidy is doing what she can to maintain her submission on him, but Ronan is trying to get some of his strength to break free of this hold…AND HE MAKES IT!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET GO, KASSIDY!
Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy Heart releases the hold as Ronan Malosi manages to roll himself out of the ring. I don’t think that Ronan has any feeling in his legs at the moment, so he’s going to need to rest as much as he can, but I don’t think that Kassidy is going to allow him to do that as she rolls herself out of the ring to get him! She looks to roll him back inside the ring, but Ronan drops down! Kassidy tries to get Ronan back up, but you can tell that his weight is the one thing that is dragging him down and not allowing Kassidy to get a good hold of him! Ronan manages to stick his head underneath the ring, but Kassidy doesn’t give it much thought and manages to pull him out of the ring, but Ronan ends up shoving her away, knocking her to the ground!
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) HEY KASSIDY, CATCH!
(Ronan Malosi throws something at Kassidy Heart, who catches it right away and it reveals to be his EAW Award for 2020 Feud of the Year, the same Award that he loves to death. Kassidy seems caught off guard by that move as she looks at the award.)
Eve: RONAN MALOSI GETS KASSIDY HEART BY ONE OF HER ARMS BEFORE DELIVERING THE SOUVENIR, THE RIPCORD RIGHT HOOK NAILS ‘THE MAULER’ IN THE FACE BEFORE KNOCKING HER DOWN! IT SEEMED LIKE RONAN HAD NO INTENTIONS OF HITTING KASSIDY WITH THE AWARD, BUT TO DISTRACT HER WITH IT BEFORE HE CAPITALIZED WITH A MOVE! Ronan gets Kassidy by her and proceeds to trash talk a few things that we aren’t able to get on audio before getting her in a powerbomb position before holding her up and connecting with a ringside alley oop! Kassidy’s face collides with the ring post which knocks her down!
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) BOW TO YOUR KING!
(The crowd begins to boo Ronan Malosi right on cue, but he is embracing the hatred before turning his focus to Kassidy Heart, who finds herself in an all fours position, trying to get to her feet.)
Deadprez: Ronan Malosi picks up Kassidy Heart once again before connecting with an apron back suplex! Kassidy’s back crashes onto the apron! Kassidy rolls herself back inside the ring as Ronan takes his time before stepping through the ropes and going back inside the ring! Kassidy is already down before Ronan slowly crawls to her before hooking her leg! It seems like he believes that this match is all done for!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRR–
Gavin Kirkland: KASSIDY HEART KICKS OUT!!!!
Eve: There’s a look of shock on Ronan Malosi’s face! He believed that it should have been the end of the match! He can’t seem to believe that Kassidy Heart manages to kick out! Ronan throws a couple of punches to Kassidy’s face before picking her up and hoisting her on his shoulders in a fireman’s carry position! Ronan with the AS ABOVE, SO BELOW! NO! KASSIDY HEART MANAGES TO SLIDE OFF RONAN’S SHOULDERS BEHIND HIM! KASSIDY SAW A BIT OF A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO ESCAPE RONAN’S SIGNATURE MOVE, BUT RONAN MANAGES TO TURN AROUND —
Deadprez: SPPPPPEEEEAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy Heart manages to take down ‘The Hot Takes King’ with a page of her husband’s playbook! Now, Kassidy begins to unload on Ronan Malosi, getting him back for all the abuse that she put him through in this match! Ronan manages to roll away from her, BUT KASSIDY MANAGES TO GET RONAN BY THE NAPE OF HIS NECK BEFORE MAKING HIM STUMBLE BACK WITH AN UPPERCUT! RONAN FALLS TO HIS KNEES BEFORE KASSIDY FOLLOWS THAT WITH A SLIDING FOREARM, NAILING RONAN IN THE FACE THAT SENDS HIM BACK! SHE TAKES A COUPLE OF STEPS BACK TOWARDS THE ROPES AS SHE WAITS FOR RONAN MALOSI TO SLOWLY GET HIMSELF INTO A CRAWLING POSITION! YOU CAN SENSE THAT KASSIDY IS GOING TO BE HITTING ANOTHER MOVE, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY MEAN TROUBLE FOR RONAN! RONAN SLOWLY GETS HIMSELF INTO A CRAWLING POSITION BEFORE —
Eve: PAINFULLY EVER AFTER — A CURBSTOMP TO THE SKULL OF RONAN MALOSI! THAT HAS TO BE IT WITH RONAN! KASSIDY GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR—
Deadprez: RONAN MALOSI KICKS OUT!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT KASSIDY HEART TRANSITIONS TO THE LOUIS VUTTION OF WRESTLING MOVES! SHE DIDN’T NEED TO GO TO THE TORNADO PART OF THE MOVE, BUT SHE HAS RONAN MALOSI’S ARMS TRAPPED IN A LEG SCISSORS!! RONAN REALIZES IN HOW MUCH TROUBLE THAT HE IS!!!
(Ronan Malosi manages to look at Drake King, who is standing at ringside. It’s almost like Ronan’s pleading for Drake to do something and help him advance to the next level, but Drake stays there, observing the match. Meanwhile, Kassidy Heart is focused on making Ronan submit.)
Eve: It doesn’t seem like Ronan Malosi is looking to submit anytime soon!
Deadprez: BUT KASSIDY HEART MANAGES TO HEADBUTT RONAN MALOSI’S SHOULDER! THE SAME SHOULDER THAT SHE WAS TARGETING IN THE BEGINNING OF THE MATCH! SHE BENDS HIS RIGHT SHOULDER BACK EVEN HARDER AND CONTINUES TO HEADBUTT!!!! THIS HAS TO BE IT!!!
Gavin Kirkland: RONAN MALOSI SUBMITS!!! HE COULDN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Monster” plays once again as Kassidy Heart holds on to the submission move for a bit longer before the referee pulls her away from Ronan Malosi, who is seen clutching his right shoulder. Kassidy gets her arm raised by the official as she soaks in the victory.)
Gina Romano: THE WINNER AND ADVANCING TO THE SEMI-FINALS OF THE 2020 KING OF ELITE TOURNAMENT…KASSIDY HEART!!!!
Eve: Kassidy Heart puts on another stellar performance against Ronan Malosi! You gotta feel for Ronan Malosi. He had his hoops to prevent a woman from representing Showdown at King of Elite, but it seems like Showdown will be making history as a woman will be representing the brand this week. It’s either going to be Kassidy Heart facing off against the winner of Dr. Bethany Blue versus Consuela Rose Ava in the main event!
Deadprez: Ronan Malosi put on an amazing battle. He thought that by having Drake King at ringside with him, it would provide him with an edge, but Drake really didn’t desire to make things easier for Ronan.
(It pans to Ronan Malosi clutching his right shoulder before pounding his fist off his left hand against the barricade in clear frustration. It pans back to Kassidy Heart, who happens to acknowledge Drake King for the first time in the match. There, she cracks a smile at him before shrugging her shoulders. Kassidy soaks in her victory for a moment or two longer before rolling herself out of the ring and heading towards the back.)
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT, LOOK AT WHO JUST JUMPED INTO RINGSIDE FROM THE BARRICADE! IT’S ALEXIS CHAMBERS! IT’S ALEXIS CHAMBERS! SHE MANAGES TO GRAB RONAN MALOSI BY HIS INJURED SHOULDER AND THROWS HIM ONTO THE STEEL STEPS! Ronan continues to grasp onto his shoulder as Alexis begins to stomp on Ronan and his shoulder, but she picks up him before throwing him to the other set of steel steps! Once again, Ronan lands on that right shoulder of his! I think that Alexis is getting some revenge for Ronan stealing the victory from her last week! She is probably the last person that you wanna cross on the Showdown roster!
Eve: Can you blame Alexis for being as upset as she is? She felt like she was robbed a chance of advancing to the next round thanks to Chained Fury! Now, she looks like she is going to destroy Ronan’s shoulder!
Deadprez: Alexis Chambers places Ronan Malosi’s shoulder in between the steel steps. She takes a step back, waiting for her moment and then…SHE KICKS IN THE STEEL STEPS! RONAN IS CRYING OUT IN PAIN!!!! It doesn’t seem like she’s completely done there as she’s going towards the timekeeper’s area and pulls out a steel chair before shutting it closed! Oh god, what does Alexis have in store!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE SWINGS THE STEEL CHAIR HIGH OVER HER HEAD BEFORE —
Eve: Look at the ramp!
(Ryan Wilson races towards ringside and stands behind Ronan Malosi. He stands in front of Alexis Chambers and has a calm look on his face.)
Ryan Wilson: (off-mic) Alexis, I need you to calm down here. I know that you’re angry and upset that things didn’t go your way, but I need you to be smart here. What does injuring Ronan accomplish?
(Alexis Chambers puts the steel chair down as she seems to have simmered down a bit. You can see that she’s trying to calm down to have a reasonable conversation with Ryan Wilson.)
Deadprez: LIGHTS OUT!!!!!!!! THE SUPERKICK FROM ALEXIS CHAMBERS CONNECTS WITH RYAN WILSON!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan Wilson goes down as Alexis Chambers just took out the members of Chained Fury!
Alexis Chambers: (off-mic) It accomplishes everything.
Gavin Kirkland: She’s a queen, but you just know there’s gonna be hell to pay for what she just did.
(Alexis Chambers skips around from ringside and begins to walk backwards up the ramp. She looks at Chained Fury from ringside, who are trying to recollect themselves at her feet. Ronan Malosi still has that shoulder to deal with, but both men are seriously pissed at what Alexis accomplished. The scene fades to a commercial break.)
(Commercial break featuring Ronan Malosi promoting Tinder. He seems upset that no girls are matching him back.)
(Showdown returns from commercial break and cuts to the backstage area. Showdown backstage reporter, Kyra Phillips, is standing by. She smiles into the camera and raises up her microphone.)
Kyra Phillips: Welcome back to Showdown, everyone! Right before we went to commercial break, Showdown’s first King of Elite semi-finalist was revealed. Kassidy Heart defeated Ronan Malosi to stamp her ticket into next week’s main event and joining me right now is the woman herself! Congratulations, Kassidy. You’ve got yourself one step closer to making history.
(The camera zooms out to reveal Kassidy standing next to Kyra. She runs her hands through her tangled hair and flashes an arrogant smile at the reporter.)
Kassidy Heart: I mean, I never doubted the outcome of this match and I’m pretty sure the rest of the world never doubted it either. The day someone as useless as Ronan Malosi manages to get the better of me is the day I hang up my boots for good.
Kyra Phillips: Walk me through the closing moments of the match. You trapped Ronan in the ‘Louis Vuitton of Wrestling Moves’ and after that he was forced to submit. What was going through your head?
(Kassidy rolls her eyes at the question. Truth be told, she’s never been the biggest fan of backstage interviews and questions like that are a good reason why. How does a person even go about answering that?)
Kassidy Heart: Like, I don’t really know how to answer that. The majority of the time I’m inside the ring, my mind is blank and I’m just going for the win. Matches are a blur to me, and are just second nature at this point. You fight to survive inside that ring and the only thing that ever really clicks with me is knowing that if I don’t win, the other person will and that’s not acceptable in my opinion. I literally don’t know what to tell you when it comes to what was running through my head in that moment. Nothing?
(Kassidy furrows her brow.)
Kassidy Heart: Things don’t even register until after the bell rings and my music starts to play. I guess if you want to know what I felt in THAT moment, it’s indifference. Ronan’s not the type of person I should be facing. My victory was a given. There was no question about that, ever. I’m a main eventer and future Pain for Pride headliner. I’m the future all-time great, with Mr. DEDEDE’s own stamp of approval on that. I’m a fucking machine, trained for war, trained to destroy, and poised to stand at the top of this company as the face of it for many years to come. There will never be another person like me to ever come along in this business unless it’s my own flesh and blood. I’ve done many things in the almost three years I have been signed to EAW, but the best is yet to come. By the time my three-year EAW anniversary rolls around in April, I will have added King of Elite winner to my list of accomplishments and will have the date of my Answers World Championship match selected. By the time the season is done, I will have become a two time world champion and the first woman to ever hold the Universal Women’s Championship and the Answers World Championship. There is no one worth more to this business than Kassidy Heart and that’s on Gawd.
Kyra Phillips: Since the tournament was announced and your first round opponent was revealed, you have made the comment that the results of King of Elite are a forgone conclusion. What makes you so confident that you are going to be able to defeat Dr. Bethany Blue or Consuela Rose Ava next week to make it into the finals?
Kassidy Heart: Well that’s a pretty stupid question if you ask me, especially when I already answered that in my promotional video that was posted to the EAW website earlier in the week. Why the fuck wouldn’t I be able to defeat Bethany or Consuela? When have either of them ever gotten the better of me in a match? It damn sure didn’t happen on Empire when Consuela and I were stuck in professional wrestling purgatory hoping against hope that someone would throw something our way. It damn sure hasn’t been Bethany this season who’s already lost to me twice. I humiliated her back at Road to Redemption and used her as an example of why no one should ever come barking up this tree. Neither of those bitches have what it takes to bring me down, especially when I’m in my current form. I am better than ever before, ready for my moment, and ready for that crown to be placed on my head. I get that this entire company is holding their breath, hoping against hope that I somehow stumble and don’t make it the finals. The other bitches around here, those who walk around with their chests puffed out, thinking they’re the baddest bitches to ever grace this company, are praying that somehow I make a mistake and don’t end up winning King of Elite. For me to break a barrier and change the course of history means they have one less opportunity to do so, and in their minds, I’ve already done enough. I shouldn’t have any more opportunities. I shouldn’t get these chances, and I damn sure shouldn’t take food off their tables in order to add more to mine.
(Kassidy’s voice is full of amusement because she knows that her words are going to hit several people right in their hearts. She knows how she is viewed by her peers, especially her female ones, and their jealousy, scorn, petty comments, and direct shots never go unnoticed.)
Kassidy Heart: It’s just more fuel for my fire. I don’t give a fuck about the happiness of other people. As long as Gawd is pleased, I’m pleased, and we’re really the only two people who matter in the grand scheme of things. Ryan built this company from the ground up with his own blood, sweat, and hard work. He is the reason EAW is what it is today, and now he has a partner that is dependable, reliable, and willing to do the heavy lifting so he no long has too. Ryan has done so much for this business, and I’m going to make sure that every single thing he has invested in me and my development doesn’t go to waste. Becoming King is just the first of many wonderful things coming my way. I’m taking the crown, and everything else my heart desires going forward, and no one can stop me. Gawd himself wouldn’t stop me, because he is the one in my ear telling me to assert myself and take everything I possibly can from the rest of you. In the end, all will bow to me, including you, Kyra.
(The reporter blinks, almost as if she didn’t hear Kassidy correctly.)
Kyra Phillips: Pardon?? I was just about to ask you about Drake King…
Kassidy Heart: Fuck Drake King.
(Kassidy points to a spot on the ground.)
Kassidy Heart: Bow to me!
(Kyra opens her mouth to reply, but no words come out. Kassidy snaps her fingers and points to the ground again, and it dawns on Kyra that ‘The Mauler’ is serious. She hesitates, which annoys Kassidy and without warning, Kassidy drives her knee into Kyra’s stomach. Kyra’s microphone clatters to the ground, and Kassidy grabs the other woman by the hair and forces her down to her knees.)
Kassidy Heart: When I snap my fingers and give you an order, you will obey. Do you understand?
(Kassidy tightens her grip on Kyra’s hair.)
Kyra Phillips: Y-y-yes…
(Kassidy releases Kyra’s hair and shoves her foot in Kyra’s face.)
Kassidy Heart: Kiss it, bitch.
(Kyra looks indignant, but what else can she do? Kassidy could have her job if she wanted so with no other option, Kyra kisses the bottom of Kassidy’s wrestling boot. Kassidy uses her foot to shove Kyra in the head, forcing her flat on her back, and with a little chuckle she saunters off. Kyra is horrified and humiliated, and looks close to tears as the scene comes to an end.)
(Showdown fades back down to the ring area.)
( The camera pans back to the World 1 Theatre where we see Justin Windgate make his entrance with the InterWire Championship thrown across his shoulders as we see him dressed in a dapper three-piece suit, walking over to take his seat on commentary)
Justin Windgate: (no headset) Move over won’t you, Gavin… it’s pretty cramped over here.
(Gavin Kirkland reluctantly looks back at Justin Windgate before Justin uses his hands to motion Gavin to move over as Justin pulls his announcer’s chair up to the announce table)
Eve: Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome our special guest for this upcoming match, EAW InterWire Champion…The Xtreme Classic… Justin Windgate!!
Justin Windgate: Thank you, Thank you. I’m very excited to be here. Very excited to get a first-hand look at the New Answers World Champion and the up-and-comer Kid Ohio. This match is going to be something special.
DeadPrez: Man…you took the words right out of my mouth! Kid Ohio has been hot on your tail as of recent weeks so it’s only right for you to be out here to get a glimpse of what’s coming for you in the future!
Gavin Kirkland: (under his breath) Smells like weed and ass over here now :wow:…
(The camera pans to a view of the ring and the stage)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!
World 1 Theatre: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST FROM CLEVELAND OHIO, WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDRED- EIGHTEEN POUNDS! HE IS PERFECTION PERSONIFIED….KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDD OOOOOOOHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIOOOO

Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA….HE IS THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…….. JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
( ‘BxMxC’ by Baby Metal plays as Jack Ripley walks out from guerilla with the Answers World Championship strapped around his waist. Jack confidently enters the ring as the World 1 Theatre virtual crowd erupts )
( Ding! Ding! Ding!)
DeadPrez: Jack Ripley and Kid Ohio circle one another as the much quicker Kid Ohio shoots at the legs of Jack Ripley– BUT THE VETERAN RIPLEY SIDES STEPS KID OHIO AND ANSWERS BACK WITH A SOCCER KICK TO THE SKULL OF THE UP AND COMER, AND NOW KID OHIO IS STAGGERED AND DAZED!
Justin Windgate: Rookie mistake there by Kid Ohio– nonetheless Jack Ripley isn’t the babysitting type as he charges the dazed Kid Ohio knocking him down with a thunderous clothesline!
Gavin Kirkland: Jack Ripley picks up Kid Ohio and throws him into the corner before launching shot after shot into the newcomers head and temple! Jack Ripley scales up the corner and continues delivering bomb after bomb to his opponent! Kid Ohio is defenseless!! Wait—-
Eve: KID OHIO SLIPS UNDERNEATH AND GRASP JACK RIPLEY BY THE LEGS—- KID OHIO DELIVERS A PUNISHING CORNER POWERBOMB AND JACK RIPLEY HAS BEEN LAID OUT!!
Justin Windgate: Maybe this guy has some fight after all…. As he picks up Jack and steps to his side—- RUNNING ENZIGURI!!! This kid has moves! Kid Ohio drops down for the pin on Jack Ripley!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
TW—-
DeadPrez: NOPE! Jack Ripley gets the shoulder up just before the two count! Kid Ohio is going to have to do a lot more than that to keep Jack Ripley down here tonight! Jack Ripley is beginning to stir on the ground as he pulls himself up to a knee– Kid Ohio realizes this and he charges in with a GROUNDED SUPERKIC—
Eve: NO– THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!!! KID OHIO TURNS AROUND INTO A— DAYLIGHT SLAYING TIME!!!! RUNNING KNEE RIGHT TO THE FACE OF KID OHIO AND THAT MAY HAVE DONE IT!!!! JACK RIPLEY HOOKS THE LEG!
ONE!!!!!
TWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THR—–
Justin Windgate: KICKOUT BY KID OHIO!!! Hey it looks like the Kid has heart too! Jack Ripley’s going to have to go back to the drawing board here tonight– as he picks Kid Ohio up by his hair and brings him back to his feet— Jack Ripley pulls Kid Ohio in for a DD- NO WAIT—
Gavin Kirkland: JACK RIPLEY SHIFTS HIS BODY AND CONNECTS WITH A VICIOUS MODIFIED NECKBREAKER— NEARLY TEARING KID OHIOS NECK FROM HIS BODY!!!!!!
DeadPrez: Jack Ripley isn’t going for the cover though– He must have more in store for this new up-and-comer… Kid Ohio is basically motionless on the canvas.. As Jack Ripley once again begins scaling up the ring ropes… Jack Ripley is now perched on the top rope and he’s measuring himself against the motionless Kid Ohio..
Eve: JACK RIPLEY LAUNCHES HIMSELF OFF THE TOP ROPE—MOONSAUL— WAIT NO!!! KID OHIO BRINGS HIS KNEES TO HIS CHEST AND JACK RIPLEY JUST ATE ALL OF THAT! AS KID OHIO KIPS UP BACK ONTO HIS FEET— HE TURNS JACK RIPLEY AROUND—PERFECT CATCH!!! PERFECT CATCH!!! IT CONNECTS!!!! KID OHIO JUST PLANTED JACK RIPLEY ON HIS HEAD AND THIS MATCH COULD BE OVER!!! KID OHIO CRAWLS OVER TO MAKE THE PIN!!!!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE——
Justin Windgate: KICKOUT! It’s going to take a lot more than that to stop Jack, Kid. Gotta come harder than that
DeadPrez and Gavin Kirkland: :dame:
Eve: Jack Ripley kicks out just before the three count and Kid Ohio cant believe it! As he argues with if it was a three or not! Kid Ohio is in complete disbelief!!! As he slams his hands on the ground in an attempt to get Jack Ripley back up to his feet—- Jack Ripley is stirring and Kid Ohio can sense his moment!!! Jack reaches his feet and turns around — PICTURE PERFECT KIC—–
DeadPrez: NO JACK RIPLEY DUCKS UNDER THE SUPERKICK AND INSTEAD GRASP THE WAIST OF HIS OPPONENT BEFORE HEADBUTTING KID OHIO AND CONNECTING WITH A DEVASTATING RELEASE BELLY TO BELLY THAT SENDS KID OHIO NEARLY HALF WAY ACROSS THE RING!
Justin Windgate: This match has been nothing short of a spectacle… Kid Ohio is trying to put on a classic here against our Answers World Champion… this is a performance to be proud of, but I don’t think he wants it bad enough. He doesn’t have that dog in him.
Gavin Kirkland: Nonetheless Justin, Kid Ohio is already making it back to his feet as Jack Ripley charges him and knocks him back down with a standing missile dropkick! It seems like ever since Jack Ripley has won the gold he’s been a man on a mission. Tonight is no different!
Eve: Still Kid Ohio is on the move as he uses the ropes to help him back to his feet as our Answers World Champion tells the newcomer to stay down— Kid Ohio just refuses to listen.. As he continues his march towards Jack Ripley, to which Jack Ripley responds with repeated punches knocking his opponent down!
Justin Windgate: Like I said…the kids got heart— but he just dont have that dog in him.
DeadPrez: Jack Ripley must be tired of playing…. As he measures the grounded Kid Ohio—- Kid Ohio barely makes it back to his feet as he turns to Jack Ripley— YOU’LL FLOAT TOO— WAIT…..
Eve: … — KID OHIO COUNTERS THE SUPERKICK WITH AN AMAZING STUN GUN!!!! I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’VE JUST SEEN!!!
Justin Windgate: Excuse me…
Gavin Kirkland: Wait where are you–
( Justin Windgate leaves the Commentary Table and steps ringside to mince words with Kid Ohio )
Justin Windgate(off mic) to Kid Ohio: You aren’t hungry enough to be a threat to me, let alone Jack. You’re still a child. You aren’t ready for the big stage.
Kid Ohio (off mic) to Justin Windgate: Yeah yeah, whatever you say gramps. How about you go take a seat before I give you a reason to ping your life alert.
Justin Windgate (off mic) to Kid Ohio: Yeah I’d love to see you try. Just know you’ll never have this as long as I’m champion..
( Justin Windgate raises the Interwire Championship in the air as Kid Ohio glares at him and it— before Justin Windgate motions for Kid Ohio to turn around to which he does )
DeadPrez: YOU’LL FLOAT TOO!!!!! YOU’LL FLOAT TOO!!!! THE SUPERKICK CONNECTS SQUARE ON THE JAW OF KID OHIO AS JACK RIPLEY DROPS DOWN TO MAKE THE PIN!!!!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…. JACK RIPLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘BxMxC’ by Baby Metal plays as Jack Ripley celebrates his win before leaving the ring and heading backstage)
DeadPrez: Excellent showing here tonight from Kid Ohio but in the end Justin Windgates presence was just too much for him to overcome and unfortunately for him Jack Ripley was just on his A-Game tonight! Wait a minute—- JUSTIN WINDGATE HAS SLIDE INTO THE RING AND HE’S WAITING FOR KID OHIO TO TURN AROUND AND MAKE IT BACK TO HIS FEET!!!!
Eve: KID OHIO TURNS AROUND AND— JUSTIN WINDGATE NEARLY KICKS KID OHIO’S HEAD OFF WITH THAT SUPERKICK!!!!!!!!!! JUSTIN WINDGATE JUST SUPERKICKED KID OHIO INTO NEXT WEEK! MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!
( Justin Windgate motions to a stagehand to bring him a mic to which the stagehand obliges)
Justin Windgate (on mic) to Kid Ohio: You think you of all people can pop up and make an impact at my expense? Do you think you deserve to be Interwire Champion? You think you of all people— can use me to help yourself get known? No. It doesn’t work that way. Nor will it ever. See you must have this all backward. But don’t worry, consider this a small taste. And know that well…— this is only the beginning.
(Justin Windgate tosses the microphone onto the chest of the unconscious Kid Ohio before making his exit as ‘ Smoke and Drive’ by MGK plays, as the camera shows the unconscious Kid Ohio one last time before panning elsewhere)
(The camera pans backstage into the Maidens locker room, where Bethany is stretching getting herself ready for her round two matchup later tonight in the main event. The door opening in the background is heard.)
(Alexis skips in, hugs and plants a kiss on her partner, before stepping back.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I just saw what you did out there, I’m proud of you, but at the same time, I have to ask you, are you crazy?!
Alexis Chambers: You said it yourself this week, I was screwed over, and Ryan has made it clear he doesn’t appreciate us, so I did what I felt was what they both deserved. I didn’t plan on striking Ryan in the head, but everything came rushing back what he put me through, and how he used us to his own benefit at Territorial Invasion. We saved his job and he doesn’t appreciate us in any way. What did he do? He teamed up with the dude he had us fight. And then the disrespect he showed us last week, when he said he doesn’t have our backs, well, mine at least. You didn’t have to step in the way you did though.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Hey, if he said he has my back, he has yours too, and I let him know that both verbally and in our match last week.. The way he attacked me after I beat him……AHHHHHH!!!!
(Alexis pulls in the Doctor for a hug.)
Alexis Chambers: It’s fine! Calm down! It’s all in the past now and we aren’t going to waste our time with them anymore. We are above Ronan and Ryan. You beat Ryan Wilson last week, and I beat the shit out of Ronan tonight and prolly broke his arm. They’re all finished. I may not have advanced in the King Of Elite, but YOU did. There’s nobody who deserves this more than you do after what you have been through since being robbed of the tournament last season.
Dr. Bethany Blue: I just wish you were in the second round with me, and we would face off in the finals and give a real wrestling classic unlike what we went through at Pain for Pride. And after what you pulled tonight, I’m so scared that backstabber Ryan WIlson will make you pay, or that rat Ronan will come for paybac—
(Alexis wraps her arms around Bethany’s waist.)
Alexis Chambers: Stop worrying about me, and stop worrying about Ronan and Ryan. Go out there and take what’s yours. You are going to be the first woman ever to wear that crown.
Dr. Bethany Blue: You really think so?
Alexis Chambers: I know so!
Dr. Bethany Blue: You know I would do anything for you, right?
Alexis Chambers: Same with me for you. If they even try to interfere tonight, me and my fists will be waiting. Go out there and take what you deserve, okay? I’ll be back here waiting to celebrate with you.
Dr. Bethany Blue: After that, we go on with our mission to become tag team champions together. Just think how good that crown and tag titles will look in our office. Think of how many patients we’ll get.
Alexis Chambers: It’s gonna be amazing, now go out there and punch your ticket to the semis! Bring home that crown babe!
Dr. Bethany Blue: I will! I love you.
Alexis Chambers: I love you too. Good luck!
(The Maidens embrace in a kiss before Bethany walks off and Alexis stands with her hand on her wrist for a few moments.)
Alexis Chambers: She’s totally got thi–
(A hand covers the mouth of Alexis Chambers in the view of the camera, and Alexis’ eyes widen in a panic as she’s dragged out of the frame trying to scream and fight out of the person’s grip.)
(A commercial for Burger King starring Xander Payne is shown as he wears one of their kids meal crowns as he yells “I’M THE KING OF ELITE!!!”)
(The camera fades into an undisclosed location far from the World 1 Theatre. There’s a tiny projector that is playing on a white canvas as it shows countless footage of match after match as it cuts every so often to transition to the other one)
“Rich Russillo: IT’S THE LAST SMOKE BUT COOLER! PACKAGE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER! HE HAS SHAWN STURGIS IN POSITION…… HE HITS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE CROWD HAD GONE WILD! HE HAS HIT IT! BUT LOOK, JALYN GARCIA IS BACK ON THE APRON! SO IS ANDRE WALKER! BRONSON IS GOING FOR THE COVER!!!!!

James Peters: ANDRE WALKER DIVES IN! JALYN HOPS FROM THE TOP ROPE TO BREAK THE COUNT!!!!

Persephone: YES!!!!!!!!!!!! JALYN AND ANDRE ARE TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!!
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Bella Braxton: THE WINNER OF THE MATCH AND THE NEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW NEW BREED CHAMPION! BRONSON DANIELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!””
???: That was pretty dope.
*click*
“Deadprez: JAMIE WITH ALL THE BIT OF ENERGY HE LAS LEFT…..**INNNN EXXCCEELLISSSSSS!!!!!** THE RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TAKES DOWN BRONSON DANIELS!!! JAMIE IS SLOW TO GET TO THE COVER….AND HE FINALLY GETS AN ARM OVER THE CHEST OF BRONSON!
OOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Gina Romano: Bronson Daniels has been eliminated!”
???: :will:
(Bronson Daniels is seen sitting on a couch as he looks up at the camera. He turns off the projector as he begins to speak)
Bronson Daniels: Do you know how much this opportunity means to me? Bit repetitive but still. Fighting for the Answers World Championship at King of Elite? It means alot. Getting an opportunity to redeem myself from what happened at Road To Redemption, big. I mean it was all cool and everything, final three and everything, but let’s admit, we’d all be better off winning. That’s why I took it upon myself in the first place to insert myself into the Answers World Championship picture and cut Jack Ripley’s reign short, spoilers. It’s a lot to me, I know what I have to do, being in the ring with Jack countless times does that to a person. I know what he’s capable of doing and I absolutely understand the level I have to go at in order to fulfill that.
(Bronson stands up as he cracks his knuckles before continuing to speak to the camera as he walks around a bit)
Bronson Daniels: And it’s not just the performance I gave during Road To Redemption, I have to do much more than that. Because I know even that wasn’t enough to win the Answers World Championship in the Chamber, so I have to do more, and no problem with that. Because I don’t want to be lost in the shuffle. I don’t want to just be another number in Jack Ripley’s title defences, that’s not how it goes around here. I’ve gotten a feeling of what I need to do in order to stay on top and I can do just that. People say that I’m biting off more than I can chew challenging Jack again, hell I’m not even in the right league. I wanna make that my goal actually, to push away any doubt. People say that I’m not ready to make such a large leap from New Breed to World Title competition, but I’m going to make it my goal to show otherwise. Hell I don’t know why you’d be so dumb to realize that, have you not seen the shit I pulled off back at Road To Redemption? King of Elite I’m walking in with high expectations of myself, not because I want to win the Answers World Championship, but because I beat Jack Ripley, and this time I’ll do it again.
Bronson Daniels: And no, not by some bullshit like it’s always been, I’ll beat Jack and prove one thing after another, and one of them is showing that I can pin, or submit him and throw away the narrative that apparently I can only beat him by countout. It’s time to change the way that people think of me because I’m more than the label that people put on me. I’m coming in to make sure I leave with one thing, and it didn’t really matter if I was facing Jack Ripley, Jamie O’Hara, or whoever would’ve walked out of that Chamber Answers World Champion, I plan to walk out of King of Elite with the Answers World Championship and all the doubts completely gone. Fuck a tournament I don’t need it. 💯 Here I’ll play it for you again…
(Bronson rewinds the projector as he plays the scene from Pain For Pride again)
“ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: ANDRE WALKER DIVES IN! JALYN HOPS FROM THE TOP ROPE TO BREAK THE COUNT!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: YES!!!!!!!!!!!! JALYN AND ANDRE ARE TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!!
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Bella Braxton: THE WINNER OF THE MATCH AND THE NEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW NEW BREED CHAMPION! BRONSON DANIELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!””
Bronson Daniels: :ahh: Just a reminder that people counted me out at Pain For Pride, they said I couldn’t do it. They said I couldn’t take the New Breed Championship away from Jalyn Garcia, but you know what I did? I did just that, and now look where I am, in a situation where absolutely no one believes I can win against Jack Ripley. Let’s go for a repeat huh?
(Bronson walked away from the scene as the scene fades to darkness for several seconds, and then back to ringside.)
(The camera pans to Gina Romano standing inside the ring smiling.)
(“We Appreciate Power” by Grimes blasts through the speaker to the arrival of Consuela Rose Ava. The digital crowd showers with cheers as she approaches the stage and makes her way down the entranceway. Appearing more concentrated than ever, she pauses at the end of the ramp to scan the World 1 Theatre atmosphere before ascending the steel stairs and through the ropes into the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! From Frias, Spain, weighing in at 120 pounds.. SHE IS THE PERFECTIONIST… CONNNNSUELLLLLLAAA ROOOSSEEEE AVAAA!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh dear, here is the beginning of another episode airing from Bitch Central. You know, one of the main points of featuring women on television is to cancel out the ugliness and emphasize the beautiful. This right here is the opposite of what this company is supposed to do. Consuela Rose Ava is plastic galore, a whore! Damn, that rhymed. I am going to save that for later :wow:
Eve: Consuela Rose Ava is fresh off her first round victory over Lucas Johnson and hopes to advance to the semi-finals, but she has a huge challenge ahead of her. Both of these individuals are highly-skilled competitors who are might as well the best of their class, but this match has huge stakes on the line. Winning the King Of Elite tournament would do wonders to both Consuela Rose Ava and Dr. Bethany Blue’s careers. Tonight, it all ends up on the person who demonstrates they want the crown more.. Consuela Rose Ava.. or Dr. Bethany Blue?
(After Consuela Rose Ava stops posing on the top turnbuckle, the silence is accompanied by “Blue Monday” by Orgy. It echoes throughout the World 1 Theatre as Dr. Bethany Blue descends from guerilla to the disgust of the online audience. Dr. Bethany Blue is met with a mixed reaction while she confidently strides down the ring, staring down her opponent with a bold smirk on her face.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT! FIRST! From Miami, Florida, weighing in at 125 pounds… DR… BETHANNNY BLUEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: You know what. I take my word back.. I’ve had my eyes fixated on Consuela’s ass… Holy.. Did I just notice them sweet CHEEKS!!!?!?!?
Eve: Probably not. Dr. Bethany Blue has made her way to the second round by defeating Ryan Wilson in the first round. I know she is not too happy knowing that her tag team partner was taken out of the tournament also, but this is the Doctor we’re talking about. When it comes to big game matches like these, she has no choice but to excel. Dr. Bethany Blue has a great chance of advancing tonight.
( DING! DING! DING! )
Eve: Drake King watches on as this quarter-finals contest is officially underway. Consuela Rose Ava and Dr. Bethany Blue stare into each other before locking up in a collar-and-elbow tie-up.
Dr. Bethany Blue quickly changes it up and brings Ava down into a grounded headlock. Ava gets the leg scissors in. Blue kips-up out of the scissors and goes running into the ropes. Blue jumps over Consuela. BLUE CHARGES TO TACKLE CONSUELA DOWN!! CONSUELA GETS GROUNDED!! Dr. Bethany Blue with a smirk as she comes off the ropes once again!
Deadprez: Consuela maneuvers around the waist and drops her down with a waistlock. Blue quickly attempts to circumvent, but Consuela twists around for a front facelock. CONSUELA WITH A FRONT FACELOCK SUPLEX AS SHE CONTINUES TO CINCH IN THE FRONT FACELOCK HOLD!! Pure technical wrestling on display by The Perfectionist as this is where she has a huge disadvantage. Blue has a more intense and powerful arsenal, while Consuela is more on the technical side. Consuela continues with the facelock before Blue starts to struggle and leans Consuela against the ropes! It sends her off and into the opposite side to the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: DR. BITCH GETS HERSELF RELIEVED OF THE FRONT FACELOCK!! SHE ATTEMPTS TO CHOREOGRAPH A BACK BODY DROP!! CONSUELA SLIDES OVER HER SHOULDERS AND SENDS HER DOWN WITH A SUNSET ROLL!! BUT THE DOCTOR ROLLS SMOOTHLY ONTO HER FEET AND KICKS THAT BITCH IN WITH A PENALTY KICK!! Bethany takes a second or two to think of her next move as she comes out of the corner to grab Consuela! Blue pulls her up to her feet and SCOOPS UP FOR A BODY SLAM!
Eve: Consuela Rose Ava escapes and rolls off her shoulders. Ava reels into the corner and Blue comes charging in! AVA CLOCKS HER WITH THE BACK SHOULDER SMASH AS SHE NOW ASCENDS THE TURNBUCKLES!! BLUE IS IN THE LANDING ZONE AS AVA COMES TWISTING OFF THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE!! SHE GRABS HER HEAD FOR A TORNADO DDT, PERHAPS!! NO!! BLUE CATCHES HER IN MID-AIR AND THROWS HER OVER HER SHOULDERS!! CONSUELA ADAPTS AND HOOKS BOTH ARMS IN MID-AIR!! AND SPIKES HER DOWN WITH A CRUCIFIX DRIVER!! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!
OONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
TW-
Deadprez: BLUE POWERS OUT! Consuela Rose Ava with a well-timed counter with that crucifix driver right there as she folded the Doctor like an accordion! This match continues and Ava pulls Blue up to her feet! A forearm to the musher, followed up by a spinning heel kick to the midsection before Ava Irish whips her into the ropes! Blue clings onto the ropes! AVA RUSHES INTO HER! BLUE LEANS DOWN AND SENDS HER OVER THE TOP ROPE!!!! Ava remains on the apron and DRILLS THE DOCTOR WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZIGURI!!
Eve: BLUE GRABS THE ROPES IN RESPONSE AND PULLS IT INWARDS!! AVA GOES SLINGSHOTTING INTO THE RING AS BLUE GOES FOR THE CUTTER!! AVA MANAGES TO ADAPT IN MID-AIR AND LAND ONTO HER FEET AWAY FROM THE CLUTCHES OF THE DOCTOR!! BLUE IS SHOCKED AS SHE SWINGS FORWARD FOR A PUNCH!! AVA GRABS HER BY THE SIDE, HOLDS HER BY THE HEAD AND RUNS OFF THE TURNBUCKLES WITH IT!! AND DRILLS HER DOWN WITH A TORNADO DDT!! WHAT A DDT AS AVA ROLLS HER OVER FOR ANOTHER COVER!!!! COUNT IT, REF!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DR. BETHANY BLUE BALLS HOISTS HER SHOULDER UP AT TWO!! Consuela has been dominating this match so far and that’s what I like! Two bitches dominating each other in the ring is just what I need at times like these! Ava brings Blue up to her feet and muscles her into the corner! AND SMASHES HER CHEST WITH A BRUTAL ROUNDHOUSE KICK!! AND ANOTHER ONE! AND WITH ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER!! AVA IS JUST LIGHTING HER UP WITH ROUNDHOUSE KICKS!!
Deadprez: This is the type of aggression that Consuela Rose Ava needs to advance in this illustrious tournament! Ava just peppering her with a roundhouse kick before she throws her into the center of the ring.. Blue winds up to her feet as AVA COMES OUT OF THE CORNER FOR ANOTHER ROUNDHOUSE KICK INTO THE CHEST! BUT BLUE MANAGES TO GRAB HER FOOT!! BLUE IS HOLDING HER FOOT, BUT AVA JUMPS UP AND NAILS BLUE IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH HER OTHER FOOT!! AN ENZIGURI AS BLUE IS OUT ON THE CANVAS!!
Eve: Dr. Bethany Blue is laid out on the canvas as this gives the opportune moment for Consuela Rose Ava to ascend the turnbuckles once again! Ava has found herself in the position where she is most comfortable as Blue gets up to her feet! AVA JUMPS OFF FOR A MISSILE DROPKICK!! BLUE GRABS BOTH LEGS IN MID-AIR AND TRANSITIONS THE FORMER INTERWIRE CHAMPION INTO THE DOUBLE LEGGED BOSTON CRAB!! WHAT A COUNTER AS BLUE HAS CHANGED THE COMPLEXION OF THIS MATCH JUST LIKE THE BOSTON CRAB!! ALL BLUE HAS TO DO IS SINK IN THE KNEE FOR THE FULL EFFECT OF THE ELEVATED BOSTON CRAB TO WIN THIS!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT Consuela MANAGES TO TWIST INWARDS FOR AN INSIDE CRADLE!! OH NO!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: BLUE POWERS OUT AS SHE QUICKLY HOVERS OVER ON TOP OF THE PERFECTIONIST!! THE DOCTOR HOOKS THE ARM ON THE GROUND AND THE TIGHTS!! SHE DEADLIFTS CONSUELA UP OFF THE CANVAS!! AND DRILLS HER DOWN WITH A VERTICAL SUPLEX!! WHAT A DEADLIFT VERTICAL SUPLEX AND SHOCKING DISPLAY OF STRENGTH FROM DR. BETHANY BLUE AS BLUE IMMEDIATELY HOOKS BOTH LEGS FOR THE WIN!! THIS COULD BE IT!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TH-
Eve: CONSUELA GETS HER SHOULDER UP!! Dr. Bethany Blue immediately forces Ava into the corner and begins unloading forearm smash after forearm smash onto her! Blue avenging those barrage of roundhouse kicks with a barrage of forearm smashes before SHE DRIVES HER KNEE INTO THE SIDE OF HER FACE INTO THE CORNER!! That definitely rocked Consuela as Blue hoists Ava up and drops her down with a scoop body slam. Blue finds herself on the second turnbuckle as she JUMPS DOWN FOR A SECOND-ROPE KNEE DROP!! AND SHE LANDS IT ACROSS THE CHEST OF CONSUELA ROSE AVA!!!
Deadprez: Dr. Bethany Blue with a well-placed knee across the upper torso of The Perfectionist! She steps through the ropes and situates herself on the top turnbuckle! The Doctor soars off the top turnbuckle with her knee hovering the chest of Consuela Rose Ava! BUT AVA ROLLS OVER AND CATCHES HER KNEE INTO THE HEEL HOOK!! BLUE DOVE RIGHT INTO THE CLUTCHES OF THE HEEL HOOK! BLUE IS HYPERVENTILATING AS SHE IS IN A BAD PREDICAMENT!!
Gavin Kirkland: BLUE IS SOMEHOW ABLE TO QUICKLY GRAB BOTH OF THE ROPES AND PULL HERSELF OUT OF THE RING!! Dr. Blue Balls immediately escaped out of that Ava heel hook with desperation as she now turns around to climb onto the apr- CONSUELA ROSE AVA JUMPS UNDER THE SECOND ROPE AND SENDS BLUE FLYING INTO OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE WITH A DROPKICK!! GOD DAMNIT!! SHE KNOCKED OVER MY CUM JAR!!! IT’S ALL OVER THE PLACE!!
Deadprez: THAT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR PROBLEM!! CONSUELA CLIMBS ONTO THE APRON AND IMPATIENTLY ANTICIPATES FOR BLUE TO GET BACK UP TO HER FEET!! BLUE’S RIBS WENT FORCING INTO THE SIDE OF OUR TABLE AND THAT SURELY DID A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE DOCTOR!! THE DOCTOR EMERGES TO HER FEET AND TURNS AROUND AS THE PERFECTION SPRINTS ACROSS THE APRON!! AND JUMPS OFF TOE PLACE THE KNEE ACROSS THE JAW OF THE DOCTOR!!
Gavin Kirkland: CONSUELA URGENTLY BRINGS THE DOCTOR BITCH BACK INTO THE RING!!! SHE IS PERCHED ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! BLUE BALLS WINDS UP TO HER FEET!! AND SHE GETS FLATTENED WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK!! Consuela IMMEDIATELY KIPS-UP TO HER FEET FOLLOWING THE DROPKICK AND HYPES HERSELF UP!!
Eve: CONSUELA IS IN THE CORNER AND SIGNALS FOR THE END!! DR. BETHANY BLUE RISES TO HER FEET ONCE AGAIN!! CONSUELA WITH A FIRE IN HER EYES!! SHE COMES RUSHING OUT OF THE CORNER AND JUMPS UP FOR THE KNEE OF DEATH!! BUT BLUE CATCHES HER AND PUTS HER IN THE MANDIBLE CLAW!! SAY AHHH!! SAY AHHH!!! BLUE HAS HER IN THE SUBMISSION HOLD IN THE CENTER OF THE RING AS CONSUELA IS SCRAMBLING TO GRAB THE ROPES!!

SHE BEAUTIFULLY ESCAPES THE MANDIBLE CLAW AND DRIVES BLUE’S HEAD OVER THE TOP ROPE!! SHE STUNS THE DOCTOR AS SHE NOW LEAPS ONTO THE TOP ROPE! AND SPRINGBOARDS OVER ONTO DR. BETHANY BLUE!!

Eve: KICK-OUT!! CONSUELA ROSE AVA GETS HER SHOULDER UP AT THE LAST SECOND AS BLUE CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!

Gavin Kirkland: Consuela POPS HER PLASTIC SHOULDER OFF THE CANVAS AT THE LAST SECOND!! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!! DR. BETHANY BLUE IS IN DISBELIEF!! SHE IS ENTIRELY AND PURELY APOPLECTIC AS OF THIS MOMENT!! BLUE BALLS GETS HER INTO THE CORNER AND STEPS THROUGH THE ROPES!! Bethany ascends the turnbuckles with a handful of Consuela’s wig! I wonder what Bethany is thinking here! Bethany is slowly bringing her up to the top turnbuckle!
Eve: Both individuals are in a precarious position on the top turnbuckle! Bethany hooks the arms and grabs the tights. SHE IS PERHAPS AIMING TO CONNECT HER SUPLEX PILEDRIVER OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! NO!! CONSUELA ROSE AVA WITH A FOREARM TO THE FACE!! FOREARM AFTER FOREARM AS CONSUELA IS STAGGERING HER ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! CONSUELA GOES TO THE OTHER SIDE OF BETHANY AND FLIPS OVER!! SPANISH FLY!! SUPER SPANISH FLY OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!
Deadprez: WHAT A SPANISH FLY AS CONSUELA QUICKLY CRAWLS OVER TO THE CORNER!! CONSUELA ROSE AVA HAS HER CROSSHAIRS CONCENTRATED ON THAT KING OF ELITE THRONE!! CONSUELA COMES OUT OF THE CORNER!! AND TURNS BLUE INSIDE OUT WITH THE KNEE OF DEATH!! THE KNEE OF DEATH CONNECTS!! BUT CONSUELA IS UNABLE TO GET THE COVER AS DR. BETHANY BLUE MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING AT THE LAST SECOND!!! CONSUELA IS OUT OF LUCK AS SHE HAS A FACE OF DISAPPOINTMENT!!
Eve: Drake King has been quite impressed by this match so far as Consuela Rose Ava gingerly steps through the ropes and gets out of the squared circle! She struggles to lift up the dead weight of Dr. Bethany Blue before she notices the smirk on Drake King’s face! Drake King has a huge smirk on his face as Consuela Rose Ava defocuses her attention on Blue and focuses it on Drake! Consuela is staring at Drake before she turns around.. BUT SHE TURNS BACK TOWARDS DRAKE AND SLAPS HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE!! CONSUELA WITH A HUGE SLAP AS IT SENDS HIM DOWN BACK TO HIS ANNOUNCE SEAT!!
Deadprez: Consuela Rose Ava turns around and throws Dr. Bethany Blue back into the squared circle. She stares down the staggered Drake King while she climbs onto the apron and steps through the rope- CONCUSSION PROTOCOL!! DR. BETHANY BLUE WITH THE CURB STOMP OUT OF THE BLUE AS BLUE IS OUT ONCE AGAIN!! BLUE REACHED INTO HER LAST ENERGY RESERVE TO CONNECT THAT AS SHE GINGERLY GETS UP TO HER FEET!! AVA IS OUT LIKE A LIGHT AS BLUE GINGERLY GETS UP TO HER FEET! SHE IS MOVING SLOW AS A TURTLE AS THIS IS THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR THE DOCTOR!!
Gavin Kirkland: Both are as slow as pregnant women right now as Blue walks over to Ava and pulls her up to her feet! Dr. Bethany Blue hooks her up by the side and by her tights! SHE HOISTS HER UP INTO A SUPINE POSITION!! AND LOOKS TO DROP HER DOWN WITH THE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!! BLUE WITH THE FLATLINE!! NO!! BLUE BALLS GETS COUNTERED BY AN INSIDE CRADLE!! OH NO!!

CONSUELA SOMEHOW SIDESTEPS IT!! BLUE IS CONFUSED AS SUELA POPS UP ONTO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!! AND FLIPS HER DOWN WITH THE INVERTED FRANKENSTEINER!!!
Eve: DR .BETHANY BLUE IS STAGGERED AS AVA QUICKLY GOES INTO THE CORNER!! AND SHE COMES OUT OF THE CORNER!! AND GOES FOR THE KNEE OF DEATH YET AGAIN!! BUT BLUE GRABS HER IN MID-AIR INTO THE POWERBOMB!!! THE DOCTOR HAS HER IN A POWERBOMB POSITION!!! SHE CARRIES AND RUNS WITH HER ACROSS THE RING!!, BUT BLUE TURNS IT AROUND AND BOTH INDIVIDUALS GO FLYING OUT OF THE RING!! A HURRICANRANA SENDS BOTH GIRLS OUT OF THE SQUARED CIRCLE! BODIES ARE LAID OUT AT RINGSIDE!!!
(Both individuals are trying to get up to their feet side by side, Consuela slides in the ring, but is still out of it on the mat.)
(The titantron glitches and shows a video of Ronan Malosi holding Alexis Chambers tied-up against a chair at an undisclosed situation. Ronan smiles as she forces Chambers’ eyes to look at the screen. Dr. Bethany Blue looks up to the screen in shock.)
Ronan Malosi: HEYYYY! LOOK WHO IT IS, ALEXIS!! IT’S YOUR BEST FRIEND AND LOVER, DR. BETHANY BLUE!!!
Ref: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Ronan Malosi: Don’t get it twisted! We found her like this! I don’t know how, but someone over here tied little Alexis Chambers to this chair and is holding her hostage. Ain’t that right?
(Ronan slaps Alexis across the face. Bethany cringes at ringside holding her head watching what she’s seeing on the tron.)
Ronan Malosi: Maybe she shouldn’t go trying to break people’s arms or disrespect her boss the way she does.
(Ronan Malosi motions for something, and you can see someone with an orange beard step into the frame for a second to hand Ronan what he’s motioning for. You can’t see his whole face though. If this were Ryan Wilson, this would be a very bad look for him for the board, seeing him doing this to one of his roster members. Perhaps that is why he’s not showing himself to the camera.)
(The camera pans to see Ronan holding a bundle of zipties in his hand. He brandishes a smirk on his face as Dr. Bethany Blue is trying to say “STOP!” repeatedly at ringside with her hands on her head. Blue’s attention is fully focused on the screen as Consuela Rose Ava is already in the ring. She notices that the referee’s count is already up to seven. Ronan Malosi notices it and brings out a steel crossbar he was handed by somebody who was just in the shot, and brings it right in front of Alexis Chambers’ face. Alexis’ eyes widen in fear.)
(Bethany out of instinct hearing the count, attempts to slide back into the ring despite what she is seeing right now.)
Ronan Malosi: I wouldn’t do that if I were you Bethany! You stay right there if you care about Alexis at all!
(Alexis has a look of fear in her eyes on the tron, and tries to squeal, but the duct tape on her mouth is preventing her from doing so. She is likely trying to tell Bethany to continue on and not worry about her.)
Referee: EIGHT!!!!!!
Ronan Malosi: KING OF ELITE OR ALEXIS CHAMBERS’ LIFE!! PICK YOUR POISON!!
Referee: NINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(A tear trickles down Bethany’s cheek as she is conflicted in this very tough spot.)
Referee: TENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Bethany was forced to throw away her King Of Elite opportunity to save Alexis. This is just so fucking sickening to watch.
Ronan Malosi: Man, you actually believed me? Hot Take: Sometimes it’s bad to actually listen to me.
Deadprez: OH MY GOD!!
Dr. Bethany Blue: (no mic) NO!!!!!
(Just as Ronan Malosi drives the steel crowbar into the face of Alexis Chambers, the feed is cut. Dr. Bethany Blue races up the ramp with great concern crying her eyes out and rushes backstage as the camera returns back onto the sight of Consuela Rose Ava. Consuela Rose Ava is laid out in the center of the ring, clueless on what happened as the referees check on her.)
Deadprez: I’m at a loss for words about what we just saw. Ronan and (I think) Ryan stopped to a low we never thought was possible here tonight.
Eve: We just hope and pray Alexis is okay. We’ll try to have updates as soon as possible when (and if) she’s found.
(While the referee checks on Consuela, the camera turns to Drake. He has seen enough and quite frankly, he is pretty fed up. Tonight went as he expected, and that doesn’t make him a very happy person. He takes the microphone from the timekeeper’s desk and gets into the ring. The crowd quiets down as the referee takes one look at Drake and holds his hand up, warning him to stay away from Consuela. The King of Elite semi-finalist is sitting up and she is glaring at Drake.)
Drake King: I don’t know why you are looking at me like that, Consuela. You have no reason to be angry at me. If you want to be angry at anyone, be angry at the actions of Ronan Malosi and Ryan Wilson. Of all things, a kidnapping took place tonight and because of that atrocious crime, you find yourself with a spot in the semi-finals. Two women will vie for the opportunity to compete on behalf of Showdown for the King of Elite crown and that right there is the real travesty. I pray for Alexis Chambers and her wellbeing, but this is horrible. Absolutely horrible.
(Drake has started to pace around the ring while a recap plays, showing what happened at the end of the match. The referee has helped Consuela up and at the moment, she is leaning against the ropes, keeping one eye on Drake and the other eye on the videotron. To say she’s sickened by what she sees is an understatement.)
Drake King: Do you see that, Consuela? Do you see that a young woman likely lost her life just so you could advance to the next round of a stupid, pointless, idiotic tournament? That’s pretty much your sister-in-law as well. Deep down, I bet you don’t even care. Sure, the look on your face right now says otherwise, but we all know how deceptive you are. You have pulled the wool over people’s eyes time and time again, constantly leading them to believe you are a good girl. You are anything but, Consuela. Living in sin with your boyfriend. Indulging in the so-called finer things in life when there are millions of people all over the world struggling, unable to make ends meet. In a lot of ways, I bet you think you’re already a queen. You deem yourself as wrestling royalty, do you not?
Consuela Rose Ava: (off-mic) Do you really think I’m happy right now? You’re such a delusional fuck if you really believe I’m proud of how this match just ended.
(Consuela is obviously upset and for a variety of reasons. It isn’t just about the way the match ended. She knows that Terry cares deeply for his little sister, Alexis, and she wants to get to him and see what’s going on. She goes to get out of the ring, but Drake grabs her by the arm.)
Drake King: We are not done speaking.
(A look of fury crosses Consuela’s face.)
Consuela Rose Ava: Yes we are.
(She pries her arm out of Drake’s grip but then “Monster” begins to play across the PA system. Drake and Consuela turn their attention towards the entrance ramp as the other Showdown semi-finalist, Kassidy Heart, makes her way down to the ring.)
Drake King: I don’t believe anyone invited you out here.
(Kassidy rolls into the ring and as she stands up, she plunks the microphone right out of Drake’s hand. She looks over at Consuela and just rolls her eyes, before motioning for her music to cut.)
Kassidy Heart: For what seems like the millionth time, I can do whatever the fuck I want because I’m the Chairman’s wife. This ring is basically mine and if I wanted too, I could have you forcibly removed and banned from this building indefinitely.
(Drake folds his arms across his chest. He doesn’t seem impressed.)
Kassidy Heart: But where’s the fun in that? I wanted to come out here and personally invite you to Showdown next week. We all know you’re going to be lurking anyway, waiting to strike, and ultimately piss one of us off, so I would rather you not be a pussy about it.
(Consuela raises an eyebrow, clearly a little caught off guard by Kassidy’s invitation to Drake. Drake also seems a bit surprised, although he recovers quickly and smiles down at the blonde Elitist.)
Drake King: (off-mic) I assure you that nothing I do or have done since my return at Bloodsport can be deemed an act of cowardice. Everything has a purpose and everything is for be-
Kassidy Heart: (interrupting) For the greater good of EAW, blah, blah, blah. All of it is just part of some bullshit agenda that was conjured up because you got your shit clocked back at Pain for Pride. You haven’t been right since that night, but I’ll tell you this. If you so much as lay a hand on me next week and ruin my chance to become King, I will make sure it’s the last thing you ever do in this company. And excuse me for speaking for Consuela, but after getting handed the gift of a match against me just moments ago, I highly doubt she’s going to want to make the finals the same way.
Consuela Rose Ava: (off-mic) I can speak for myself, thank you very much. However, I will agree that I don’t want the match next week to have any drama because when I do defeat you, Kass, it’ll be clean and untested.
Kassidy Heart: :mjlol: Imagine thinking you’re capable of that.
Drake King: (off-mic) :yikes: See? This is what’s wrong with EAW! Like I am standing here right now witnessing it with my own two eyes. You two just can’t help yourselves. You have to talk down to one another and for what? The chance to compete for a disgraced crown? I don’t get it! You two shouldn’t be in the tournament in the first place!
Deadprez: KASSIDY HEART HAS HEARD ENOUGH! SHE JUST PUNCHED DRAKE KING IN THE FACE AND HAS SENT HIM INTO THE ROPES! CONSUELA WITH ‘LA RODILLA DE LA MUERTE’! THE KNEE OF DEATH CONNECTS WITH DRAKE! DRAKE IMMEDIATELY ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AND IS OUT ON THE GROUND!
Gavin Kirkland: I never thought I would see the day that our two King of Elite semi-finalists worked together to take out a common enemy.
Eve: Well, it looks to be short-lived Gavin! Consuela went to exit the ring and once again, she was grabbed.
(Consuela Rose Ava and Kassidy Heart stare at one another with narrowed eyes. While most things aren’t set in stone, one thing about their match for next weekend is. One of them will make history by becoming the first woman to ever qualify for the King of Elite finals and no doubt both of them want a chance to win the crown.)
(Consuela wrenches her arm free from Kassidy’s grasp, and Kassidy can’t help but smirk. Just like she did to Ronan last week, ‘The Mauler’ chuckles to herself.)
Gavin: JUMPING KNEE STRIKE FROM CONSUELA! HER KNEE JUST CONNECTED WITH KASSIDY’S JAW! Kassidy is down on her butt and she looks a bit shocked at Consuela’s gall! Hell! I’m shocked! Consuela is really fired up right now.
(Consuela glares at Kassidy and finally exits the ring, storming up the ramp. Needless to say, she’s not in a good mood when you factor in everything that went down tonight.)
(The camera takes another shot of Kassidy as the announcer team signs off. She is rubbing her jaw, but there’s a spark in her eyes. No doubt she plans to make Consuela pay for that cheap shot.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
