( RECAP – Hurricane Hawk opens the show to host the contract signing between Kassidy Heart, Theron Nikolas, and Impact for the EAW Answers World Championship at Reasonable Doubt. All three competitors share their sentiments about the match, until Theron Nikolas would incite an intense fight. Impact gets the best out of the fight and holds the championship over Kassidy Heart and Theron Nikolas. For the first match of the night,the debuting Oliver Taylor and Abel Itami squares off against the unlikely duo of Ashley Flores and Ayu Megumi. Flores tags herself in at the last second and steals a victory from Megumi to get the victory for their team. Taylor helps Ayu Megumi after Abel Atami with his finisher. Afterwards, Mikaela Street delves into the mind of Limmy Monaghan weeks before his EAW Hardcore Championshop opportunity. Monaghan is adamant on beginning to start his personal wrongs and will not hesitate with Adam Lucas in his path of doing so. Another interview takes place with Veena Adams. Extremely thrilled after her tampered victory over TLA, she is interrupted by Jonny Airhart. Airhat took offense to the way Veena confronted her last week and returned the disrespect. Adams would slap him across the face, but she would soon regret it as Airhart would carry out a blindsided attack and bury under multiple wooden pallets. Marr would arrive at the scene, scared of what happened to his cohort minutes before his match with Ronan Malosi. Both competitors would have evenly matched performances before Charlie Marr shifted gears and decided to walk out of the match. Malosi wins with a count-out, but Marr’s walkout would leave him being attacked by TLA. TLA gets revenge from last week with a vicious assault. Afterwards, Harper Lee secures a huge victory over the EAW New Breed Champion. A week after Kelton being driven through a car window by Malosi, he gives his official response and demands a match at Reasonable Doubt. Malosi tries to underestimate his challenge and gets a main event with Kassidy Heart in the next Showdown episode, but either way, his match with Jon Kelton is locked in. After this segment, Limmy Monaghan comes out to commentate a match between Adam Lucas and Cameron Ella Ava. The match passes the twenty minute time limit. With both competitors laid out, disappointed by the result, transitions to Kyra Phillip interviewing Lethal Consequences moments before his match. He wants to remind everyone that he is still the badass around these parts and plans to prove it in his upcoming match with Impact. During the match, Kassidy Heart would assist Consequences by shooting fire into his eyes. His vision would be obstructed allowing LCR to connect and secure the victory for Lethal Consequences. After the match, Kassidy Heart would continue to avenge the contract signing However, Theron Nikolas, with the same intentions, punt kicks her from out of nowhere. He connects with God’s Requiem on Kassidy Onto the steel chair. Theron Nikolas would get the last laugh this week. )
(Suddenly chaos has broken out to start Showdown, a camera crew here in Washington DC at the Capital One Arena rushes to the back, the fans are in confusion as the show has come on the air and even the announcers do not know what is going on.)
Deadprez: Welcome to Showdown tonight here LIVE at the Capital One arena in the Nation’s Capital and after an incredible show last week we are starting out with a little bit of confusion, we are being told that something has erupted in the back!?
Eve: The camera crews are heading over there now and as we wait, tonight is capped off with a huge Main Event, the Answers World Champion, Kassidy Heart takes on Ronan Malosi who has been a different man since winning it big in Vegas! We also have Limmy Monaghan and Adam Lucas teaming up tonight against Robert De La Rosa and Abel Atami, can they work together just a few weeks before the huge Hardcore Championship match at Reasonable Doubt!? We will hear from the participants in the Specialists Number One Contenders match without new correspondent Mikaela Street.
Gavin Kirkland: I’m already in love! Mikaela Knows Best! We also have Harper Lee taking on Showdown’s newest acquisition, Jonny Airhart and…. Wait, the camera is now on the back!
(The scene switches and we find TLA and Charlie Marr battling each other in the back! Both men are in a full-on brawl as the officials are trying to get in the way. Charlie pushes one of them back before jumping back on TLA, but TLA forearms Charlie and sends him to the wall, they start to grapple and head into the Gorilla Position….)
Deadprez: IT’S A BRAWL TO KICK OFF SHOWDOWN AND BOTH MEN ARE COMPETING TONIGHT IN SEPARATE MATCHES AGAINST JON KELTON AND LUCAS JOHNSON RESPECTIVELY! TLA AND CHARLIE MARR HAVE HAD THIS BLOOD FEUD FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND IT WILL CULMINATE AND BOIL OVER NOW! WHAT A WAY TO START THE SHOW HERE TONIGHT!
Eve: WE KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO COME TO A PASS AND HERE THEY ARE! CHARLIE MARR AND TLA HAVE MADE THEIR WAY TO THE ARENA FLOOR AND THEY ARE FIGHTING IN THE ENTRANCEWAY! REFEREE’S AND OFFICIALS ARE TRYING TO SEPARATE THEM BUT TO NO AVAIL! CHARLIE AND TLA ARE TRADING BLOWS! BOTH MEN ARE ALREADY BLOODIED WITH THEIR LIPS AND NOSES FROM THE PUNCHES THEY HAVE TAKEN! LAST WEEK TLA ANSWERED BACK TO CHARLIE’S CHALLENGE AND THIS HAS EXPLODED INTO A CRAZY SITUATION!
(TLA grabs Charlie as the crowd roars seeing these two men beating the hell out of each other. TLA slams Charlie’s head into the barricade as they make their way toward ringside, but Charlie Marr kicks TLA in the gut in a little retaliation, shoulder thrusting TLA into the barricade as well while the Mexican superstar is pounding on the back of Charlie Mar….)
Crowd: EAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Suddenly we see Hurricane Hawk come out with a microphone….)
Hurricane Hawk: ENOUGH! THIS MADNESS STOPS NOW!
(But they are paying him no attention, the officials try to hold back Charlie Marr but he turns and levels one right to the floor, the other grabs TLA and he throws him over the barricade into a row of fans that quickly spread out not to get hit.)
Hurricane Hawk: I SAID STOP THIS NOW! WILL EVERY WRESTLER AVAILABLE IN THE BACK PLEASE COME OUT RIGHT NOW TO STOP THIS CHAOS!
(As TLA and Charlie Marr continue to brawl, the crowd explodes as Adam Lucas, Amir Yusuf, Lucas Johnson, Jon Kelton, Abel Atami, Robert De La Rosa and Oliver Taylor come running out and they quickly swarm Charlie Marr and TLA, the fans start to boo some….)
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT!!!!! LET THEM FIGHT!!!!!!! LET THEM FIGHT!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: THIS HAS TOTALLY BROKEN OUT OF CONTROL! WRESTLERS FROM THE BACK ARE OUT HERE NOW TRYING TO RESTORE SOME ORDER! HOLDING CHARLIE AND TLA BACK FROM KILLING EACH OTHER!
Eve: The General Manager had to call out other wrestlers to help out!
Gavin Kirkland: The fans are right! Let them fight!
(Finally, the wrestlers have restored a little bit of order as Charlie and TLA are being restrained from killing each other.)
Hurricane Hawk: I AM TIRED OF THIS! ENOUGH! IN THE EAW SHOWDOWN HAS ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN AS THE WRESTLING SHOW BUT LATELY IT HAS BECOME ABSOLUTE CHAOS AND THAT ENDS TONIGHT! ID ANYONE IN THE BACK OR ANY TALENT WHATSOEVER ATTACKS ANY OTHER ELITISTS THEY WILL BE SUSPENDED AND FINED! I AM NOT PLAYING AROUND ANYMORE! THIS IS ABOUT WRESTLING AND WE HAVE A HELL OF A SHOW PLANNED AND I WILL NOT ALLOW IT TO BE RUINED BECAUSE YOU TWO CAN’T BE CIVILIZED!
(The crowd erupts in boos…)
Hurricane Hawk: NOW FOR YOU TWO!
(Hurricane Hawk paces a little, trying to calm himself down as Charlie and TLA are being held by wrestlers and detained.)
Hurricane Hawk: You two…. Want to go at it so bad, well guess what there are RULES on the Blue Brand and that goes for you as well as everyone! See, from this moment forward for tonight and the next Showdown, Neither one of you will touch the other because if you do? Then you will ruin the stipulation that I am about to add to your match at Reasonable Doubt! First off, THERE WILL BE A WINNER! NO COUNT OUTS AND NO DISQUALIFICATIONS JUST WRESTLING IN THAT RING TO SEE WHO THE BETTER MAN IS! AND IF ANYONE INTERFERES IN YOUR MATCH THEN YOU BOTH ARE TAKEN OUT OF CONTENTION!
(TLA and Charlie Marr both look a little confused, even the fans are a little confused..,)
Hurricane Hawk: Oh, you both are wondering what I am talking about? Well, it’s simple, your match at Reasonable Doubt? The Winner of that match? IS THE FIRST PARTICIPANT CHOSEN INTO THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION!!!!!
(The crowd explodes in cheers as both TLA, and Charlie Marr look wide-eyed. Hurricane Hawk drops the mic and heads to the back leaving everyone stunned….)
Deadprez: WHAT AN ANNOUNCEMENT AND WHAT A HUGE OPPORTUNITY FOR THESE TWO FORMER WORLD CHAMPIONS! THE WINNER WILL BE THE FIRST PARTICIPANT ANNOUNCED INSIDE THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER AND GET THE SHOT AT THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
Eve: WOW! I MEAN WOW! HURRICANE HAWK WAS NOT PLAYING AROUND AND NOW WE HAVE OURSELVES HIGHER STAKES!
Gavin Kirkland: Listen to this crowd!
(As the crowd keeps buzzing, Charlie Marr and TLA glare at one another as officials, referee’s and wrestlers start to escort them to the back….)
Crowd: EAW!!!!! EAW!!!!!!!!!! EAW!!!!!!!!!!!
(The chants of the crowd fade to a commercial for Reasonable Doubt advertising the huge Triple Threat for the Answers World Championship…)
(As Showdown returns from Commercial we find Gina Romano ready to introduce the first match of the night.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS THE OPENING MATCH ON SHOWDOWN AND IT IS A TAG TEAM MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, FROM HIDALGO, MEXICO! WEIGHING IN AT 245 POUNDS! “EL PADASTRO” ROBERTO DE LA ROSA!!!!!!!
(“Ser Real” by Oscar Cortez Ft. T3R Elemento starts to play throughout the arena as Roberto De La Rosa coming out with a custom-made designer suit, wearing luxurious jewelry and puffing a cigar as his beautiful valet Esmeralda follows him and begins to slowly remove his clothing as his ring gear is revealed. As she finishes, De La Rosa throws his cigar to the floor and stomps it as a Mexican Flag is suspended behind him, making his way to the ring but as he is halfway there his music fades and it is replaced with ‘Madness” by KSI…)
Gina Romano: HIS PARTNER HAILS FROM UPOLU, SAMOA! WEIGHING IN AT 247 POUNDS! “THE SAMOAN MAMBA” ABEL ATAMI!!!!!!
(Abel walks out ready for business, looking over at De La Rosa, nodding before the two men walk to the ring and get ready for a makeshift team that may or may not get along.)
Deadprez: What an opening match to kick off Showdown and we have both Abel Atami who has been a tough luck loser of late and Roberto de La Rosa who had been absent for a few weeks, but now both men get a huge opportunity at an advantage over two wrestlers who will be facing each other at Reasonable Doubt.
Eve: It is an interesting way to kick off the show after the wild brawl we had earlier, but I know that tonight like we always do, are going to knock it out of the park and this match is no exception. Showdown expects big things from these two men; here is their chance once again to impress.
Gavin Kirkland: How will Limmy and Adam get along? That is the question!
(As both men are in the ring and ready, the theme ends and is replaced with “King’s Dead” by Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future & James Blake. Limmy Monaghan walks out, and he is accompanied by Walter Bivens. Limmy stands at the top of the rampway before slowly making his way toward the ring…)
Gina Romano: AND THEIR OPPONENTS FIRST FROM GLASGOW, SCOTLAND AT 224 POUNDS ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY WALTER BIVENS…. “THE MONARCH” LIMMY MONAGHAN!!!!
(As his theme cuts off and is replaced with “You know my name” by Chris Cornell, Adam Lucas walks out and heads toward the ring as the crowd cheers. He gets to the end of the rampway. Limmy is standing there, both looking at one another and nodding before sliding into the ring.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS PARTNER FROM NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK! WEIGHING IN AT 235 POUNDS! THE EAW HARDCORE CHAMPION…. “THE NEXT LEVEL” ADAM LUCAS!!!!!!
(Adam acknowledges the crowd as does Limmy, both men in the corner, ready for this match to begin.)
Deadprez: That is the million-dollar question, how will they co-exist? These two men are professional, but they are also competitors. We heard Hurricane Hawk say that there are not going to be anymore attacks or brawls so it will be interesting to see how this pans out tonight!
Eve: Adam and Limmy are opponents in two weeks. This week they must work as a team and take on two very hungry men that look to tear them apart.
Gavin Kirkland: Adam is my hero these days.
Eve: You just need to stop right now.
Gavin Kirkland: I didn’t say anything….
(The referee checks on both teams and calls for the bell and the match to begin….)
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Adam and Able circle the ring and lock up, Adam tries to overpower Abel to no avail as Atami pushed Adam to the ropes, a couple of forearms to his chest, whipping him to the ropes and coming off with a huge body drop.)
Deadprez: Abel Atami showing off his power early! Adam is back up and Abel with a huge bodyslam! He grabs him again, whipping him into the turnbuckle, charging in, HUGE ELBOW and Adam staggers into a BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX! Abel with a quick pin!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Adam Lucas quickly kicks out and I think Atami took him by surprise! Adam is trying to get back up and clubbing forearm by Abel! And another! He grabs Adam and throws him into their turnbuckle tagging in Roberto De La Rosa!
(TAG!)
Eve: De La Rosa is in, and Abel holds Adam in place as Roberto kicks him repeatedly in the chest! A Side Headlock and he has it cinged in, running for a bulldog… NO! Adam pushes off, De La Rosa turns around right into a DDT by Adam Lucas!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam is in the best shape of his life, and I know why!
Deadprez: Gavin… shut up. Adam Lucas Took down De La Rosa and now he is back up, looking to tag and he does!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: Limmy Monaghan is in! He starts attacking de la Rosa with some stiff kicks, trying to get up but Limmy whips him into the turnbuckle, runs at him, running knee, NO! de la Rosa with a huge kick and…. LIMMY CAUGHT IT! Spinning De La Rosa around into the backstabber! Limmy has him down for the count…..
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: De La Rosa kicks out! Limmy wastes no time, picking him back up, NO! Roberto with a huge forearm, and another.. CUERNO DE CHIVO AND DE LA ROSA HAS LIMMY ROCKED! I DON’T THINK THEY EXPECTED THIS FROM THESE TWO MONSTERS WHO LOOK TO CLIMB THE RANKS OF SHOWDOWN! Limmy is wobbly and De La Rosa with THE BORDER CRASHER! A VARIATION OF LIMMY’S KNEE! MONAGHAN FALLS INTO THE ROPES AND DE LA ROSA WITH A FEW MORE STIFF ARMS! HE POINTS TO ABEL ATAMI WHO LIFTS UP HIS FOOT RAMMING LIMMY’S HEAD IN IT! HE TAGS IN ABEL!
(TAG!)
Gavin Kirkland: How is that guy sweating like that already!?
Deadprez: Cause he is a biggum, Gavin! But I think we are all surprised here, shocked even that Roberto De La Rosa and Abel Atami are really taking it to Adam and Limmy like this! Abel now grabs Limmy, forearm after forearm! He backs up and runs at Limmy… NO! MURDER TO EXCELLENCE! HE STUNS THE BIG MAN AS ABLE ATAMI FALLS BACK INTO THE ROPES AND TAGS IN ADAM!
(TAG!)
Gavin Kirkland: THE STUD IS IN AND HE HOPS OVER THE ROPES WITH A LARIAT! ABEL THOUGH IS NOT DONE AND HE WHIPS HIM INTO LIMMY FOR ANOTHER MURDER OF EXCELLENCE! WHAT TEAMWORK BY THE GOATS! ABEL IS DOWN AND HERE IS ADAM WITH THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THRE…..
Gavin Kirkland: Abel Atami kicked out!? How did he kick out! Adam looks perplexed but he knows that he has the power of the medical community behind him!
Eve: Gavin…. Just….. back to the match! Adam Lucas picks up Abel and this time he whips him into the turnbuckle, running in, KICK BY ABEL! ADAM IS STUNNED AND HE RUNS INTO THE SAMOAN DROP! ALL THAT WEIGHT ON ADAM LUCAS AND WE MIGHT SEE AN UPSET!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THRE…..
Eve: ADAM LUCAS KICKS OUT! Abel Atami is beside himself! He grabs Adam and is punishing him with hard rights! Able is now headbutting Adam! Trying to weaken him as he picks him up, like a rag doll and slams him to the mats! He tags in Roberto De La Rosa!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: De la Rosa is in, and he grabs Adam up by the hair, BEAR HUG! HE IS SQUEEZING THE LIFE OUT OF ADAM AND HE IS SLOWLY FADING! Even Walter Bivens is yelling some coaching at Adam! Limmy is pounding the turnbuckle for him to tag, and Adam looks to be going out!
(The referee picks up his arm and it almost drops but no! Adam slaps his hands together ringing the ears, de la Rosa drops him, Adam with his hurt back kicks Roberto a few times in the midsection before rolling and tagging Limmy…)
(TAG!)
Eve: Limmy is in and he jumps right over the ropes! He sprints at Roberto with a huge clothesline! Roberto falls but he gets right back up and another! He then runs against the ropes again, DIVING DDT! DE LA ROSA IS DOWN BUT HERE COMES ABEL ATAMI WITH A HUGE KICK! HE TAKES LIMMY DOWN BUT HERE IS ADAM LUCAS! DROPKICK AND ATAMI FALLS! HE IS BACK UP AND ADAM LUCAS WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE OVER THE TOP ROPE AS THEY BOTH GO OVER!
Deadprez: THAT LEAVES LIMMY AT THE MERCY OF ROBERTO DE LA ROSA WHO SCOOPS HIM UP! CARTEL EXECUTION! HE HAS THE REAR NAKED CHOKE HOLD ON LIMMY AND IS LOOKING TO PUT HIM AWAY!
(Adam Lucas grabs Abel Atami but he forearms Adam and goes to throw him into steel steps, but Adam reverses and throws Atami into them instead causing the big Samoan to fly over and to the floor.)
Gavin Kirkland: LIMMY IS FADING AND LOOK AT ADAM! HE FLIPS OVER THE ROPES AND BUCKSHOT LARIAT! HE JUST TOOK ROBERTO DE LA ROSA’S HEAD OFF! ADAM NOW SEES ATAMI GETTING BACK UP AND SUICIDE DIVE BY ADAM LUCAS! LIMMY IS BACK UP AND DE LA ROSA IS BACK TO HIS FEET! THE BEAUTIFUL ESMERALDA IS SCREMING FOR HIM TO TURN AROUND…..
Deadprez: HIBERIAN DAGGER! THAT MOVE IS DEVASTATING BY LIMMY MONGAHAN AND HE JUST TOOK ROBERTO DE LA ROSA OUT! HE GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Gina Romano: THE WINNERS OF THE MATCH….. THE TEAM OF LIMMY MONAGHAN AND ADAM LUCAS!!!!!!!!!
(“You know my name” by Chris Cornell starts to play throughout the arena, as Limmy Monaghan gets off Roberto De La Rosa. He looks over at Adam Lucas who was able to get Abel Atami out of the ring. The referee raises both of their hands as he hands Adam the Hardcore Championship. Limmy looks at it, eyeing the prize and then both men are face to face.)
Deadprez: Huge win for the team of Adam Lucas and Limmy Monaghan! They worked well as a team and were able to fend off the bigger men but are now face to face and ready to rip each other apart
Eve: Roberto De La Rosa and Abel Atami came to fight tonight, but in the end, it was none other than Adam and Limmy that came out the winners. But this is not over, look at them staring at each other!
Gavin Kirkland: Let them fight!
Eve: Then they both get suspended!?
Gavin Kirkland: I mean… HUG IT OUT!
(Adam and Limmy continue to stare each other down as De La Rosa rolls out of the ring. Atami has already walked toward the back while Walter Bivens starts to pull Limmy away from the confrontation with Lucas. They continue to glare at each other as Adam raises the Hardcore Championship while the fans cheer. Limmy nods and leaves peacefully with Bivens in tow before fading to a commercial break.)
(SCREEN BAR – EARLIER TODAY)
(The camera pans over to the studio set up in the back of the Capital One Arena in Washington DC where Showdown will be held later tonight. We see Mikaela Street in her bow tie, suspenders and glasses sitting down across three women that will compete for a chance at the Specialists Championship. Ayu Megumi, Ashley Flores and Harper Lee.)
Mikaela Street: Hello EAW fans and especially you True Blue followers of Showdown! Welcome to another edition of “Mikaela Knows Best” where I do in depth interviews with the stars of the Showdown Brand and today I have three very special guests, they are Ayu Megumi, Ashley Flores and Harper Lee, all facing one another at Reasonable Doubt and it will be for a chance at the Specialists Championship come Road to Redemption against whomever the champion will be, could be Miku Sakai, Mary S. Atlas or someone else could emerge. Ladies, all three of you have had your opportunities at this title, now is your chance to get one more, maybe your last for a while. Ayu, your thoughts?
Ayu Megumi: Well, I know that I showed everyone that I have what it takes to be a Specialists Champion. I went the distance with Dr. Bethany Blue in a Last Woman Standing Match and proved I could hang with the best. I’m just excited to be here really and get the chance to show what I can do, then head into Road to Redemption and get one more shot at it.
(Ashley Flores though quickly cuts her off…)
Ashley Flores: One more shot that you do not deserve. You lost to Bettie twice, you weren’t even close, I on the other hand should have won the first time when I had Candie dead to rights at Pain for Pride. Then I should have won when…..
Ayu Megumi: When she strapped your ass on a stretcher and beat you at Midsummer Massacre and because she is no longer champion is the ONLY reason you are even in the conversation?
Ashley Flores: Gumi, don’t be disrespectful. I carried your sorry ass last week against Ollie and Abe, I won the match for us, and you are going to sit there and say that you deserve a chance at the Specialists Championship when you lost to Bettie twice but let’s be fair here. She dominated you, barely able to get past me and she cheated, so I deserve this!
(Mikaela doesn’t know what to say watching these two women bicker back and forth. Harper Lee is sitting there with her legs crossed not giving a care in the world.)
Ayu Megumi: No, I had Able Atami down, I had him pinned, not you. Throwing me off the top rope to steal it isn’t winning it for us. Besides, I gave it my all with those opportunities and I don’t care what you say, I will earn a shot at the title.
Ashley Flores: You suck just as bad as Harpie. Why is she even in this? Because she was upset that she sucks and lost to Adam Lucas? She lost to me. See Miks, everyone knows that I am the uncrowned champion, I should have been the Specialists Champion back at Pain for Pride before Bettie injected herself with Super Soldier Serum.
(Harper cuts in….)
Harper Lee: That’s just a poor excuse for you losing that match, the same thing happened with her and Miku Sakai and she lost. The problem is neither one of you were ever good enough to defeat Dr. Bethany Blue for the Specialists Championship, but she is off to Dynasty and is old news in this division, why you keep talking about her is funny to me as that is the only thing neither of you can hang your hat on. Me? Yeah I have had my chances at championships and lost, but they know that I am the future of this division and Hurricane Hawk actually wants someone that can bring the belt back to Showdown after Bethany coughed it up to Voltage. That would be me. Ashley, you suck, Ayu, you suck too but not bad like Ashley here. I have beaten you both, I will do it again. Anything else Mikaela?
Mikaela Street: Yes, well I just wanted to ask another question. What makes you the best choice to represent Showdown at Road To Redemption and face Miku Sakai or whoever is the champion by then?
(Ayu is about to speak but Ashley quickly interrupts her….)
Ashley Flores: What do you think, Miks? Because DAMN I AM GOOD. I am the greatest professional wrestling woman on the face of the planet and…..
(But Ashley stops at the laughter of Harper Lee is almost cackling right now at what she just heard coming from Ashley’s mouth….)
Ashley Flores: WHAT IS SO FUNNY, HARPIE!? That I already pinned you once and defeated you to get the shot at Pain for Pride!?
Harper Lee: One that you LOST, and Sierra had to help you win. I don’t know why you continue to brag about being so great, when you lose ALL the time! Seriously, I should get the match with Miku already or whoever has the title and stop this embarrassment. After Reasonable Doubt? I will be the NUMBER ONE CONTENDER. After Road to Redemption? I will be the NEW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION and the both of you? Will still be here whining and crying about who is the best. I’m done wasting my time here. Bye Mikaela.
Mikaela Street: Uh…. Bye Harper.
(Harper gets up and leaves, Ashley Flores and Ayu Megumi both sit there trying to figure out how she could disrespect them and walk out.)
Mikaela Street: Okay…. So for Ayu…..
Ashley Flores: You know what? Harpie isn’t the only one who is sick of this bias questioning.
Mikaela: Bias questioning? Uhh….
Ashley Flores: Whatever Miks, I’m outta here too! You can talk to me again when I am the NUMBER ONE CONTENDER to the Specialists Championship. Damn I’m Good.
(Ashley now gets up and leaves, Mikaela sits there a bit dumbfounded, but Ayu doesn’t look to be going anywhere.)
Ayu Megumi: Those two…. Bitches are gone. She is not good. I’m still here, ask me anything!
Mikaela Street: Okay, sweet! Love the blonde hair by the way!
Ayu Megumi: Thank you I……
(The camera starts to fade as both women continue to have small chat, cutting to a commercial break of the new “Damn I’m Good” Facial Cream for those unwanted wrinkles on your eyes.)
( Showdown returns from break and cuts to ringside. Gina Romano is standing by in the center of the ring and she wears a smile on her face. )
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME… THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP… LUCAS JOHNSON!!!
( “Ready to Die” by the Notorious B.I.G. begins to blast across the PA system and the Showdown brand gives Lucas Johnson a nice pop as he steps onto the stage. )
Deadprez: It’s been a wild ass ride on Showdown tonight, guys, and who knows what’s going to go down next. Hurricane Hawk has put his foot down and has let it be known that he isn’t going to tolerate the fuckery anymore.
Eve: Things have certainly gotten out of hand lately, but let’s put that aside. In two weeks at Reasonable Doubt, the man making his way down to the ring will challenge Amir Yusuf for New Breed Championship. Lucas Johnson, who spent quite a bit of time on Showdown the last couple of years, is looking to make history and become only the third man to win the New Breed Championship twice. He seems confident and determined to leave Reasonable Doubt with the title, no matter what kind of warning Amir sends him.
Gavin Kirkland: Too much dick for me in this match. I wish Voltage had someone else to send. Maybe gimme a MaryBecca sandwich.
Deadprez: :comeagain:
Eve: So unnecessary, to be honest.
( Lucas is in the ring now and he takes the microphone from Gina. He flashes the Showdown crowd a friendly smile and once his music fades out, he begins to speak. )
Lucas Johnson: Not gunna lie, it feels nice to be back on Showdown. This was my home for quite awhile and even though my time spent here was full of a lot of ups and downs, this brand will always feel like home. I’ve had a lot of memorable moments, and some incredible matches, and being back in front of this crowd really feels nice. Thank you guys for the ovation. It means a lot, and I’m looking forward to competing in front of you guys later on tonight against Charlie Marr.
( The crowd immediately boos at the mention of Charlie’s name. The bearded beauty will never be a popular fixture amongst any crowd, and that much is obvious. This makes Lucas grin. )
Lucas Johnson: Charlie Marr is a tough opponent, and I’m not going to deny that. I’m sure I’ll have my hands full, but I like my chances against him. I like the fact that I’m getting to return to Showdown and take on a former world champion. I might not have gotten the win against Minerva a few weeks ago on Voltage, but I took her to her limit and I’m pretty proud of that. I know a lot of people opened their eyes after that match and saw that Lucas Johnson is a threat to anyone on any given night, and I hope Amir Yusuf is watching tonight. I want him to see what’s waiting for him come Reasonable Doubt. I’ve been waiting for a while to get another chance at the New Breed Championship, and I plan to take full advantage of this opportunity. A lot of people have had their criticisms of me and the fact I’m getting this match, and even though their opinions are just water off a duck’s back, I want to make it perfectly clear that I’m not looking to become a two-time New Breed Champion because I think winning that championship is going to be easy. I don’t see this as me taking a step back at all. If nothing else, I see this as me returning to one of the best moments of my career, recapturing the magic I had back then, and starting fresh. It’s no secret that I’ve had my struggles. I’ll never lie about that or sugar coat it. Championship matches haven’t been kind to me, but I’ve learned so much from each failure, and I believe I have grown as a competitor and a person each time I’ve had a setback. I’m not looking to rejoin the New Breed division because I feel like I have a better chance at winning against newcomers. Every division within the confines of Elite Answers Wrestling is chock full of talent, and I’m happy to face anyone, at any time, on any brand. I just have a passion for this particular championship, and I want to win it again. I want to use the New Breed Championship to silence my doubters, and I want to continue elevating that belt and making it competitive.
( Lucas is about to continue on, but he is interrupted by “Elevate” by DJ Khalil. The crowd gives a huge ovation for Amir Yusuf, who strolls onto the stage. He grins, looks down at the New Breed Championship that is strapped around his waist, and begins to make his way down to the ring. )
Eve: It was only a matter of time before Amir Yusuf made his way out here to be honest. The second Lucas Johnson started talking about the New Breed Championship, Amir’s ears no doubt perked up. Since winning the championship, Amir has been on a bit of a tear. He defeated Charlie Marr and nearly defeated Harper Lee last week in an incredible match that could have gone either way.
Deadprez: Amir Yusuf has proven himself to be the real deal in a short amount of time, and I believe he has a bright future here in EAW. Lucas might want to become a two-time New Breed Champion, but I don’t see Amir losing the belt on his first defense.
Gavin Kirkland: But anything can happen here in the land of Elite, Deadprez. How many times have we seen upsets happen, even here on Showdown?
Eve: Definitely can’t dispute that.
( Amir is in the ring now, and he unstraps the belt, holding it up. Lucas never takes his eyes off the championship he once wore so proudly. Once Amir’s music dies down, he slings the championship over his shoulder and withdraws the microphone from his back pocket. )
Amir Yusuf: Now Lucas, I don’t want to be the one who rains on your parade or anything, but you’re not taking this championship from me at Reasonable Doubt.
( The crowd roars at this because despite only being with EAW for a few months, Amir has his fair share of fans. His positive attitude and willingness to take on any and all challengers has made him a fan favorite, and nearly everyone can agree that the sky is indeed the limit for this guy. )
Amir Yusuf: I get that I’m only a few months into my career here, but there’s no denying that I’ve had to work extremely hard to even get to EAW. Through all my trials and tribulations, the ups and downs, I stayed focused on my goal of making it here, and once I achieved that, I set my sights on championship gold. I had an amazing match against Adam Lucas for the Hardcore Championship back at Midsummer Massacre and even though I came up short that time around, I knew that I was destined to do great things here. There’s no denying I gave Adam Lucas everything he could handle that night and then some, and the disappointment I felt from losing that match fueled my motivation to make sure I went out and won the next title opportunity I got. When the chance to compete for the New Breed Championship came around, I made sure not to squander it. What made me so sure I wasn’t going to blow my next opportunity to win a championship? I went back and I changed what wasn’t working. I learned from my mistakes, and honestly, I think that’s the biggest difference between you and I, Lucas.
Lucas Johnson: What’s that supposed to mean?
Amir Yusuf: Well, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result, and what’s really changed with you since the last time you won the New Breed Championship? You have had every single opportunity here to become successful, to become a household name, and to become a major impact player, but you can’t get the job done. You’re not learning from your mistakes. You’re not thinking outside the box. If something isn’t working, why not change it up? You have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain at this point, but you are content to just chill out and be the same ole Lucas Johnson that you’ve always been and man, that’s not good enough. I’m not saying this to be a dick, or to even try and start a fight with you. We’ve come to blows a couple of times already, and that really doesn’t mean shit to me because the outcome of Reasonable Doubt is what’s really important. I’m just trying to be real with you, and honestly, I want the very best Lucas Johnson come Reasonable Doubt. I don’t want the same Lucas who says the same things over and over. You are going to have to be at your absolute best if you even want to have the slightest of chances of beating me. Got it?
Lucas Johnson: You don’t have to worry about whether or not you’ll be getting the best version of Lucas Johnson. I bring my best to every single match and I KNOW that my best is going to be enough to get me the second New Breed Championship reign I desire. So whatever you think about me, please get it out of your head. You think you have all the answers now, but I’m about to change the questions. Your championship reign is going to be short lived, and I’m finally going to have the reign I deserved the first time around.
( Amir just shrugs his shoulders. It’s obvious that he’s not buying what Lucas is attempting to sell him. )
Amir Yusuf: Alright, man. I guess we’ll see. I wish you luck tonight against Charlie, and more importantly, at Reasonable Doubt. You’re going to need it.
( Amir extends his hand, which causes Lucas to raise his eyebrow. He hesitates, but then takes Amir’s hand and the two men shake in a show of respect. “Elevate” begins to play once again, and Amir exits the ring, leaving Lucas to ponder his words. )
( Showdown fades to another commercial break. )
(“Act Like A Fool” by Ludacris begins to play through the speakers as the crowd begins to boo Jonny Airhart as he has that laminated Uno card in his mouth. He is looking cocky, arrogant and so prepared for this match up.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH UP IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL —
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM ATHERTON, CALIFORNIA…WEIGHING IN POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE UNO CHAMP KID’…JONNY AIRHART!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Honestly, it leaves me puzzled by Hurricane Hawk would trade my Thiccany for Jonny Airhart, but I think this Jonny kid could surprise a lot of people. Maybe, a new scenery was what he needed to make sure that he breaks out of the pack and grows. We’ve seen it before in the past. The most notable one was Jake Smith and —
Eve: He has that annoying borking dog on Voltage. But you do have a point, Gavin. This brand has helped shape and mold a lot of stars. It has a history of doing that. From Drake King to Bronson Daniels to Ronan Malosi, it could provide a lot of opportunity for development and growth that he didn’t know could happen.
Deadprez: Jonny Airhart is one cocky son of a gun. I would pay good money to see him humbled, but that kid is good when he needs to be.
(“Sweet Dreams” by Eurythmics, Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart replace “Act Like A Fool” as the crowd continues to boo for Harper Lee. Harper has a confident swagger on his face, but she seems focused on performing to the best standard possible for this match.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT…FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA…SHE IS ‘THE ENCHANTRESS’…HARPER LEE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Here is the one woman could is poised to be a future champion in EAW. Could it be the Specialists Championship? After Reasonable Doubt, we should have the answer to that question, but this girl has put on some amazing performances in 2020. I think that she could end the year as a champion if she wanted too.
Eve: The potential with this young woman is amazing. The world is her oyster and she has all the tools to succeed. I just wish that she wasn’t so rude and what not.
Deadprez: Everyone has their pros and cons, but Harper Lee is an amazing competitor. She might get in people’s nerves, but I think that’s what makes her stand out from all the other women.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: As the two Elitsts meet up in the center of the ring, you can see that there’s slight hesitation with them going for the lock up, almost like they’re worried that the other has something underneath their sleeve. Harper Lee’s right hand intertwines with Jonny Airhart’s left hand before doing the same thing with the other hands. All of a sudden, they grasp on each other’s hands before bending them down, intensifying the grasp at one another, almost like that is being used to decide who is stronger than the other. They are trying to bring the other down, but Jonny Airhart connects with a boot to the ribs of the former Unified Tag Team Champion, but Harper pulls herself away, but manages to get a good grasp of Jonny’s foot! Jonny is hopping on one foot as he’s begging for Harper to put his foot down!
Deadprez: You can see the slight hesitation from Harper Lee, but it seems like she’s able to get over it before using Jonny Airhart’s foot and pushing him back! But, Jonny manages to maintain his balance, BUT HARPER RUSHES TOWARDS HIM WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK, WHICH SENDS HIM BACK TOWARDS THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES! HARPER RUSHES TOWARDS JONNY, BUT HE ENDS UP LIFTING HER OVER HIS HEAD AS SHE GOES FLYING OUT, BUT HARPER CATCHES HERSELF ON THE APRON! JONNY TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AS HARPER CONNECTS WITH A HEEL KICK TO HIS SKULL! This causes for ‘The Uno Champ Kid’ to stagger back as Harper races for the top turnbuckle! She doesn’t waste anytime, but flies from the top turnbuckle, connecting with a diving crossbody as that sends Jonny down!
Gavin Kirkland: But, Jonny Airhairt rolls himself up to his feet as he has Harper Lee before connecting with a knee drop to her stomach! Harper is cringing in pain, but Jonny follows that up by stepping on her ribs, which adds a bit insult to injury! He stands behind one of the sides of Harper before connecting with a standing moonsault! He lands on Harper’s ribs before being in perfect position for the cover!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWW–
Eve: Harper Lee with a kick out, but Jonny Airhart sits Harper up before applying a chinlock on ‘The Enchantress,’ who is trying to fight out of the move! But, you can see that Harper is giving some slight effort in trying to get herself to her feet! Jonny, on the other hand, is trying to make sure that she stays down, but it seems like those efforts are falling apart! But, Jonny with a rake to Harper’s eyes! This causes for her to check on her eyes as the referee is yelling at Jonny for the illegal move! This guy will use ANY opportunity to get the upper hand on his opponents! As Jonny slowly makes his way up to his feet, Harper finds herself in a crawling position! Jonny gets Harper up to her feet as he applies a front headlock, but Harper battery rams Jonny onto the ropes! But, Jonny begins to punch the spine of Harper Lee! In the process, this takes her down to one knee!
Deadprez: Jonny Airhart connects with a knee strike, which takes Harper Lee to her back, but she is trying to roll herself to her feet, but you can tell that she’s a bit out of it for the time being! Jonny tackles her down with a spear before proceeding to throw some wicked forearms to the face of the former Unified Tag Team Champion! Jonny tries to pin Harper’s shoulders to the mat, but Harper gets them up before the referee could get himself in positon for the count! Jonny gets Harper up by her hair before pulling her closer to him and it seems like he’s going to go for a snap suplex as that takes Harper down again! Harper is clutching to her lower back as Jonny rushes towards her, following that up with a dropkick that causes for Harper to roll herself back into the corner! Jonny does a little showboating before rushing to Harper at the corner with a clothesline! Harper stumbles back as Jonny gets a good hold out of her!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee stumbles forward, but Jonny Airhart gets Harper in the right position for the ripcord lariat, but Harper ducks the ripcord lariat at the last second! He manages to spin herself behind Jonny before connecting with a German suplex, but Jonny manages to catch himself on his feet! Harper turns herself around as Jonny rushes towards ‘The Enchantress,’ BUT HARPER WITH A MATRIX EVASION AS JONNY RUNS PAST HER, BUT HARPER MANAGES TO TURN HIM AROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A STUNNER THAT TAKES HIM BACK! HARPER STRAIGHTENS JONNY BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A DROP TOEHOLD! THIS TAKES ‘THE UNO CHAMP KID’ FORWARD AS HE COLLAPSES TO THE MAT! But, it seems like Harper is looking to go for that ‘Devil’s Fruit,’ her variation of the calf crusher, but Jonny twists himself to his back as he tries to push Harper away from him! He is clutching towards the ropes, but Harper has a good hold of his ankle! Harper begins to pull on Jonny’s foot, hoping to loosen his grasp on the ropes!
Eve: Jonny Airhart feels his grasp slipping away from him as Harper Lee begins to apply an ankle lock! Jonny tries to roll himself to his back, but Harper gets Jonny’s other ankle before standing in front of a turnbuckle as Jonny gets catapulted to the turnbuckle! But, Jonny manages to catch himself on the top turnbuckle! He turns back to Harper Lee before connecting with a tornado DDT as that plants her to the mat! Harper seems to be scrambling up to her feet, but Jonny ends up being the first out of the two on his feet! He goes back to the vertical set of ropes before rushing towards Harper with a clothesline, BUT HARPER DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE BEFORE GETTING JONNY BY HIS THROAT AND SLAMMING HIM BACK FIRST AGAINST HER KNEE! IT SEEMS LIKE HARPER IS GOING FOR A COVER THERE AS SHE HOOKS JONNY’S LEGS!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWW–
Deadprez: Jonny Airhart lives! He manages to kick out as Harper Lee begins to slap the back of Jonny’s head! It’s almost like she’s forcing him back to his two feet. It’s an odd way to doing that, but whatever works for Harper! Obviously, Harper is the first one to her feet, but she gets Jonny by his chin before connecting with a uppercut that sends the man back a bit! She gets Jonny by his arm and whips him to the other set of horizontal ropes, but Jonny is able to rebound himself from those ropes, but Harper nails a beautiful dropkick to Jonny! Harper is able to find herself to her feet as Jonny tries to shake off what he just went through! He is able to turn himself around as Harper takes him back with a superkick! Another step and Harper clotheslines Jonny over the top rope!
Gavin Kirkland: JONNY AIRHART CATCHES HIMSELF ON THE ARPON! IT TAKES A MOMENT FOR HARPER LEE TO REALIZE THAT AS SHE RUSHES TO TAKE JONNY DOWN, BUT JONNY THROWS A PUNCH TO HER FACE, WHICH KEEPS HER BACK, BUT NOT FOR LONG AS SHE GOES TO KNOCK OVER JONNY FROM THE ARPON, BUT — JONNY WITH A THUMB TO HARPER LEE’S EYE! I don’t think that the referee caught that, but as Harper was going was running to knock over Jonny, Jonny stopped her with a thumb to her eye! With Harper being temporary blinded, Jonny drops from the apron and catches the former Unified Tag Team Champion by her ankles and slides her underneath the ring! JONNY PULLS HARPER TO THE OUTSIDE BEFORE GETTING HER BY HER HEAD AND THROWING HER HEAD FIRST AGAINST THE BARRICADE! JONNY GETS CLOSER TO HARPER BEFORE RUBBING HIS BOOT AGAINST THE SIDE OF HER FACE! THAT’S A SIGN OF DISRESPECT RIGHT THERE! JONNY GETS HARPER BY HER CHIN, FORCING HER TO LOOK UP TO HIM!
Eve: I have no clue what Jonny Airhart just told her, but it was enough to throw a headbutt to his nose, which sends him back a bit! Harper tries to find her way back to her feet as she delivers a harsh shove towards Jonny as his spine collides with the edge of the arpon! It doesn’t take Jonny out for sure as he goes forward, BUT HARPER LEE MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A DROP TOEHOLD AS THAT SENDS JONNY FORWARD WITH HIS NOSE COLLIDING WITH THE TOP OF THE BARRICADE! NOW, HARPER LOOKS AT A DOWN JONNY BEFORE GETTING HIM BY THE NOSE! OH GOD, SHE’S BENDING THAT NOSE BACK! She has Jonny Airhart by the nose as she sends him spine first against the edge of the apron again! You can see the blood beginning to trickle down his nose thanks to the drop toehold to the barricade.
(SLOW MOTION REPLAY: The moment where Harper Lee connects with a drop toehold on Jonny Airhart, which causes for Jonny to trip and land face first on the barricade is played, before we head back to ringside in present time.)
Deadprez: That collision seemed brutal, but Harper Lee adding that insult to injury was something that he deserved! Harper Lee gets Jonny Airhart by his nose as the referee is yelling at her, but it doesn’t stop Harper from throwing Jonny towards the steel steps! You can see Jonny cringing at pain at the moment as Harper really doesn’t seem to give a damn about her opponent! Harper takes a step back before kicking Jonny’s head in with those steel steps! Harper gets Jonny and rolls him back inside the ring, but it seems like Harper Lee is heading for the top rope! Jonny happens to be down at the moment as Harper finds herself in position! Top rope moonsault on Jonny! Look at that thing of beauty!
Gavin Kirkland: JONNY AIRHART MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! HARPER LEE GOES CRASHING AND BURNING! YOU CAN SEE THE SMIRK ON THE FACE OF ‘THE UNO CHAMP KID.’ IT SEEMS LIKE HE WAS PLAYING A BIT OF A POSSUM AT THE MOMENT. He allowed for Harper to get some shine, but he wanted to wait for the perfect time and place to strike! It was a smart approach from Jonny as he uses the assistance of the ropes to help him to his feet! Despite having the energy to pull that stunt, you can tell that he’s still feeling the effects from what occurred outside of the ring. You can see the blood smearing out of his nose! He is beginning to stalk Harper to her feet as Harper does seem to have any idea of what Jonny is going to do next! I have no idea what he’s going to be doing next! WHEN HE SEES HARPER STARTING TO WORK HER WAY UP, JONNY GETS ON HER SHOULDERS — FRANKENSTEINER ON HARPER AS SHE LANDS RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD! JONNY WITH THE COVER! IS THIS GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO TAKE HER DOWN?!?!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Eve: The kickout from Harper Lee! Jonny Airhart begins to connect with some punches, hoping for something to keep Harper Lee down! Jonny then proceeds to hit her with some elbows! Next, we see Jonny getting to his feet as he gets the back of Harper Lee’s legs! I think that we’re going to be seeing a submission hold from Jonny! He’s intertwining his lefts with her’s as he finds himself somewhat in a vertical position. It seems like he’s going to apply the Mexican surfboard on ‘The Enchantress,’ but Harper is trying to prevent that move from being connected on; however, it takes a few more elbows to the back of Harper’s skull to keep her down! Jonny is able to lift Harper up to fully connect with that Mexican surfboard! Harper begins to cry out in pain! She is shaking her head! I think the pain must be in tolerable, but this isn’t a move that adds the pressure on your arms and leg, but you add on the idea that you’re being lift up and it could overwhelm a lot of people.
Deadprez: I wouldn’t be shocked if this happens to be the part where Harper Lee throws in the towel, but I don’t think that Harper is one to easily quit when the going gets though. She understands the has Ayu Megumi and Ashley Flores who are going to be scouting this match, hoping to pick out any flaws with Harper that they can use to her advantage at Reasonable Doubt! The last thing that Harper wants to do is lose the match and make her opponents not take her as any sort of threat. The referee has begun to ask Harper is she wants to throw in the towel for this match, but Harper is shaking her head no! This causes for Jonny to slowly lower the Mexican surfboard, but it seems like he’s connecting with a chinlock while still having her legs intertwined with his! That was a beautiful way of letting her down because there’s no telling applying that surfboard was going to get tiring after a while! Jonny is demanding that the referee ask her again, but she shakes her head no!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee begins to bite down on the wrist of Jonny Airhart! This causes for Jonny to yelp, but Harper begins to bite the wrist of Jonny even harder, which causes for him to release the chinlock! Jonny is on his knees as he notices he bitemarks on his wrist! HE GETS HIMSELF TO HIS FEET AS HARPER SEES THAT AS AN OPENING AS SHE GOES IN TO APPLY AN ARMBAR, BUT JONNY MANAGES TO ROLL HER UP! HE HAS HER BY HER TIGHTS! IS HE GOING TO STEAL THIS VICTORY FROM HERE?!?!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTT–
Eve: No! Harper Lee goes back to applying the armbar, but Jonny Airhart manages to get his leg over on the bottom rope! Harper releases the armbar and goes over to pull Jonny away from those set of ropes! This is almost like the same scenario as earlier in the match, but Harper has an easier time with getting Jonny away from those ropes, but Jonny delivers a back kick to the ribs of the former Unified Tag Team Champion! She is clutching her stomach in response to that as Jonny rebounds himself off those set of ropes and connects with a front flipping neckbreaker on her! Harper is clutching the back of her neck as Jonny gets Harper up to her knees! She manages to get Harper by her wirst and it seems like he’s going for that rainmaker lariat again as he manages to successfully hit it! WITH HARPER DOWN, IT SEEMS LIKE JONNY IS LOOKING TO WRAP UP THIS MATCH FOR HIMSELF AS HE GOES OVER TO THE TOP ROPE! HARPER IS STILL MOTIONLESS AS JONNY AIRHART FROM THE TOP ROPE! ‘MAKING THE MONEY’ — THE MODIFIED 630° SENTON!
Deadprez: NO ONE IS FUCKING HOME! HARPER LEE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND AS JONNY AIRHART LANDS ON HIS STOMACH HARSHLY! HARPER SEES THE OPENING TO ROLL JONNY UP, HOPING THAT THIS IS ALL THAT IS GOING TO TAKE TO END THE MATCH! SHE HAS HIM BY THE TIGHTS! SHE IS GOING TO TRY TO STEAL THIS MATCH THE SAME WAY HE TRIED TO EARLIER IN THE MATCH!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHH–
Gavin Kirkland: NO! JONNY AIRHART COUNTERS WITH A ROLL UP OF HIS OWN AS HE’S GOT HARPER LEE’S TIGHTS!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Eve: NO! HARPER LEE MANAGES TO COUNTER WITH HER OWN ROLL UP!
(So, Harper Lee and Jonny Airhart are spinning around, countering each other’s roll ups and holding either the other’s fights or poking each other’s eyes out. The poor referee is trying to keep up with the pace, but these two are way too fast for him.)
Deadprez: We do not pay that poor ref enough, guys! Harper Lee and Jonny Airhart find themselves up to their feet as Harper Lee goes for the first swing, BUT JONNY MANAGES TO CATCH HER PUNCH BEFORE SPITTING HER IN THE FACE! Man, Harper seems to be disgusted and trying to whip her face, which provides Jonny with a small opening to take advantage! He begins to shake his hips and then, he’s going for the ‘Card Maker’ — the reverse bulldog on Harper, but Harper manages to keep herself still before Jonny was able to execute the move! I don’t know if that was just pure luck from Harper or if Jonny didn’t have a good grasp on her, but it could have been the moment, where Harper saved the match for herself! Harper rebounds herself off the set of ropes and connects with a beautiful shining wizard to the side of Jonny’s skull! Harper is slowly stalking Jonny up to his feet before Harper blasts him with a running knee strike to the nose as gushes of blood run from his nose! He goes back, but it seems like Harper is not done just yet!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh no, Harper Lee is grabbing Jonny Airhart by his nose and it seems like she’s looking to end this match for herself! She picks up Jonny in a powerbomb position before throwing him into the bottom turnbuckle! Sunset flip bomb I believe that Harper calls that ‘Pro Gamer Move.’ JONNY IS CLUTCHING THE BACK OF HIS NECK AS HARPER MANAGES TO GET JONNY UP TO HIS FEET AND IS SHE GOING TO HIT IT? ‘HOUSE OF BALLOONS’ — THE BACKSTABBER ON JONNY AIRHART! THAT BEAUTIFUL BACKSTABBER CONNECTS AS HARPER GOES FOR THE COVER! SHE HOOKS THE LEG!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Sweet Dreams” plays again as Harper Lee rolls off of Jonny Airhart. Jonny rolls out of the ring, disappointed from the loss and makes his way up the ramp, leaving Harper to celebrate in the ring.)
Gina Romano: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…HARPER LEE!!!!!
Eve: That was a highly competitive bout between these two Elitsts. At some point, it seems like these two were willing to take the easy way out, if it meant putting this match to an end, but it was Harper Lee that founded something in her to win the match.
Deadprez: Man, this Jonny Airhart has something in him, Eve and Gavin! I can see the potential and I can see him willing to grow during this experience on Showdown. There is something in him that’s waiting to be pulled out. I have no idea what, but when it’s revealed, it’s game on.
Gavin Kirkland: I hope that this match proved that Harper Lee is ready for anything that happens at Reasonable Doubt and that she’s ready to get that shot at the Specialists Championship!
(The scene fades into an advertisement for Voltage’s Wicked Games!)
(As the camera pans to the announcer’s booth coming back from commercial.)
Deadprez: Got news coming from the back guys… we have a camera on this wild night on Showdown!
(The scene cuts to the backstage area, and immediately focuses on Jonny Airhart, out and seemingly unconscious.)
Gavin Kirkland: What’s happened to our newest acquisition for Thiccany!? What the hell… did someone attack him?
Eve: Always cynical… he’s just had a match, maybe he just got dizzy and fell.
(The camera pans out a little and shows Veena Adams standing there shaking her head and rolling her eyes…)
Veena Adams: Tsk… Tsk…. I mean ….. Quick someone help!
(She looks around, clearly distressed.)
Gavin Kirkland: That’s my girl, The Queen! And classy has ever. After what Jonny did last week, and still she’s looking for someone to help him, what a humanitarian! Nobel Peace prize Winner right there!
Eve: Well, I guess we know what happened now!
Deadprez: Give it over Gavin… that’s an academy award winning performance if ever I saw one.
Gavin Kirkland: Listen, with your own eyes!
Eve: You listen, with your eyes
Gavin Kirkland: You know what I meant!
(A very “frantic” Veena continues to scream trying to get help for Jonny…)
Veena Adams: Please, someone. Please can someone help the poor unfortunate Jonny.
Gavin Kirkland: Come on people, give her what she wants dammit.
(Paramedics come rushing into the scene, Veena flicking her hair from in front of her face and stepping aside so that they can work.)
Veena Adams: Oh, finally… I’ve been shouting your guys for AAAAAAGES. He could have like, died or something.
(As the paramedics start working on Jonny, trying to get him to talk, Kyra Phillips comes into the picture, immediately making a beeline for Veena. Veena smirks as she sees her.)
Veena Adams: Oh, hi Kyra… not first on the scene this time huh?
Kyra Phillips: It looks like YOU were on the scene first, Veena, so what happened? Jonny looks in quite a bad way.
(Veena holds out her hands and shrugs her shoulders.)
Veena Adams: I don’t know, I mean I know I’m like, a hero for alerting the paramedics and probably saving his life but…
Kyra Phillips: You do realize what this looks like Veena?
Veena Adams: I don’t know what you mean?
(Batting her eyelashes and looking all innocent.)
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, come on, this is biased journalism right there. We should be thanking Veena. I’m sure Jonny will thank her when he wakes up.
Deadprez: You can’t see what this looks like Gavin? Surely you realize that Veena did this.
Gavin Kirkland: :picard:
(Then he gasps.)
Gavin Kirkland: That is a ridiculous allegation… the Queen would never resort to such dastardly acts!
Eve: Yeah, well we all know how you feel about her.
(The paramedics continue working on Jonny as Veena looks on, hand on her chest, turning to Kyra.)
Kyra: You know what I am asking. Did you do this Veena as retribution for what transpired last week?
Veena Adam: What!? No, and I am appalled by the suggestion. I respect the authority of Hurricane Hawk, and I would never break his rules. I am a loyal employee, and would do nothing to stain the reputation of this brand!
Kyra Phillips: That doesn’t sound like you.
Veena Adams: Well, after what happened last week, even though I had NOTHING to do with this, could you blame me? He attacked me without any cause, he then laughed about it… and was he punished? No. You throw these allegations at me, and yet I was big enough to call for help. He’s just had a match, here on Showdown, perhaps it was just too much for him to handle. I mean this is Harper Lee we are talking about. And anyway, how do we know you didn’t do this huh? Miss Sweetness and Light.
Kyra Phillips: Now you are being silly
Veena Adams: Well, you started it.
Kyra Phillips: But…
(Veena puts a finger on Kyra’s lips…)
Veena Adams: Hush now. We’ve heard more than enough of your squeaky little tone for one day. Thank you.
Kyra Phillips: ….
Veena Adams: That’s better. Now then. Let’s get a few things straight. Jonny Airhart appeared on Showdown and immediately went after the one person, me, with whom he could make the biggest impact. He saw my standing in this company and decided that I was someone who he could make a name off.
(She pauses momentarily…)
Veena Adams: He was wrong. Very wrong. When he attacked me Kyra, all he did was make himself an enemy… an enemy that doesn’t need to resort to cheap shots, and instead will do their business in the ring. And that’s why immediately after the attack when I awoke, I went to Hurricane Hawk, and he granted me a match with Jonny at Reasonable Doubt. A match in which I will leave Airhart with no question as to the error of his ways targeting ‘The Princess of Professional Wrestling’.
(She looks over at Jonny, the paramedics having revived him but keeping him in place in case something is broken.)
Veena Adams: He knew my bloodline, he knew who I was, and yet still he decided on this course of action. All that does is tell me that he is lacking the brain power for good judgement and that Dynasty were glad to see the back of him. Maybe after Reasonable Doubt he can try his luck over on Voltage.
Kyra Phillips: So, you’re saying you didn’t do this?
(Veena looks at her incredulously and shakes her head.)
Veena Adams: Perhaps you should go to Voltage too with the rest of the idiots
(She walks off, walking through the paramedics and purposely stepping over Jonny Airhart and heading down the corridor laughing…)
Veena Adams: I can’t believe he tripped on his own two feet…
(The camera shifts elsewhere to the ring for the next match.)
( “Ready To Die” by The Notorious B.I.G echoes throughout the Capital One Arena. Lucas Johnson comes out to a huge pop as he looks more concentrated than ever. He poses on the stage before moseying down the aisle and into the squared circle. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! From Long Island, New York, weighing in at 210 pounds… LUCAS JOHNSON!!!
Deadprez: Lucas Johnson has re-emerged back into familiar territory in what was his home last season. He has shown a lot of improvement over Sunday nights, and hopefully what he displays tonight will show testament that Lucas Johnson’s time is on the horizon tonight!
Eve: However, Johnson is scheduled to go one-on-one with someone that will definitely walk into this match with an uncivilized mind. We will have to see!
( ‘Survivor’s Guilt’ by Dave blasts through the speakers to a sudden eruption of boos. As usual, Charlie Marr’s appearance is accompanied with a negative reaction from the crowd. He stands on the stage with a menacingly grimace and pays no attention to what they think of him. He stares right into Johnson’s eyes from the stage and doesn’t take his eyes off it as he looks more concentrated than ever. )
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT! From Tower Hamlets, London, United Kingdom, weighing in at 240 pounds… HE IS ‘THE MAN OF ALWAYS,” CHARLIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Deadprez: It has been a long time where Charlie Marr has been able to walk into this match with a peace of mind. His blood boiling rivalry with TLA has reached a point where both competitors are legally unable to put their hands on each other for the time being, meaning that Charlie will hopefully fight this match with no interference. The entire feud was full of a one-man upship of who would screw each other most, and it is a good thing to see that we will see less of that.
Eve: However, Charlie is heading into this match with a majority of his mindset focused on ending TLA. He has made it his mission for months to put an end to him, but has come up short. What he will do to Lucas Johnson will surely be a message to TLA, but I am certain that it won’t get in the way of his focus.
( DING! DING! DING! )
Deadprez: This following match is underway as Marr and Lucas Johnson stroll around the ring before engaging in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Marr immediately muscles Johnson into the corner, but his advantage doesn’t last long as Johnson is able to grab him by the waist and press him against the corner. Johnson starts to pepper him with jabs to the chest, but Marr is able to attain distance from him with a kick to the midsection. Both elitists already have begun to throw hands as Marr grabs his arm and Irish whips him towards the ropes! Johnson rebounds off the ropes and jumps over Marr. Marr leapfrogs over him, and Johnson grabs him on his way down and attempts to take him down by the waist! BUT MARR MANEUVERS AROUND AND IS ABLE TO COUNTER THE WAIST TAKE DOWN BY FLATTENING HIM INTO THE GROUNDED HEADLOCK!
Eve: Johnson traps his head with the leg scissors, but it is immediately countered with a kip-up from Marr. Both competitors get up to their feet and Marr comes filing in from the ropes! Johnson gets floored with a shoulder block! Marr comes off the ropes again and jumps over Johnson! Marr looks to go for seconds on that shoulder block, but Johnson runs past him and STORMS RIGHT INTO HIM!! AND STUFFS HIM IN THE MIDSECTION WITH A KNEE STRIKE!! Marr gets stunned by the knee as Johnson clocks him across the chest with a roundhouse kick! AND SHOOT KICKS HIM IN THE UPPER TORSO AREA THAT SENDS HIM REELING INTO THE CORNER!!
Gavin Kirkland: There is the hard hitting repertoire of the embodiment of a vanilla bean plantation put into use right now! Marr seemed to be caught a bit off guard by those rapid-fire shots as Johnson ran into the corner and back!! JOHNSON LEAPS ONTO MARR IN THE CORNER!! AND GOES FOR A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE!! BUT MARR ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY, AND JOHNSON SMASHES HIS LEFT KNEE INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE THAT SENDS HIM COLLAPSING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!! Lucas Johnson went for a high-risk shot right out of the gates and he paid the price. He connected with his knee smackdab in the middle of the turnbuckle and that could factor into his performance for the rest of this match.
Deadprez: Charlie has a smirk on his face as he looks down from the ring and notices Johnson tending to this right knee. Marr slides out of the ring and cautiously approaches from the ear-end. He turns around and CLOCKS JOHNSON IN THE FACE WITH AN EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!! AND HE CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER ONE! WAIT!! JOHNSON MANAGES TO GO AROUND THE WAIST AND ATTEMPTS TO GERMAN SUPLEX MARR ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!! BUT MARR ESCAPES OUT IT WITH DESPERATE ELBOWS TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!! The waist lock is freed as Marr gets back up off one knee and THROWS HIM FACE-FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!!!! Johnson gets his foot on the ringpost to stop him from collision and elbows Marr in the face!
Eve: Marr is staggered as a result of that back elbow straight to the jaw! Johnson sees this as a window of opportunity! He climbs onto the apron and sprints across it!!

EUROPEAN UPPERCUT CONNECTS AS MARR GETS THE FIRST PINFALL OF THIS MATCH!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Deadprez: KICK-OUT!! Marr brings him into a headlock immediately after the cover. This has been a closely contested match thus far as Johnson begins to fight out of the headlock. He has found foundation on his feet and starts to smash his elbow into the midsection to get out of the headlock! BUT MARR WITH A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION!! This ends the headlock, and now Marr runs the ropes!! WAIT!! JOHNSON PULLS HIM BACK IN BY THE TIGHTS!! AND DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: KICK-OUT!! Charlie Marr almost got him there with his trademark spinebuster as he got his shoulder up at two. Marr takes zero time to ponder over the kick-out and rolls beneath the bottom rope and gets a hold of the turnbuckle. He begins to climb the turnbuckle while Lucas Johnson is getting up to his feet in the center of the ring. Marr could be potentially aiming to connect with a second Death Or Glory European uppercut, and this may be the one that ends this match! Johnson looks up AND HE SPRINTS TO SMASH HIS FOOT RIGHT INTO THE MUSHER OF THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION!!! JOHNSON JUST KICKED THE SHIT OUT OF HIM AS BOTH COMPETITORS ARE NOW ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! WHAT IS JOHNSON LOOKING TO DO HERE?!?!
Deadprez: Johnson throws his left arm over his shoulder and hooks the tights! LUCAS JOHNSON GOES FOR A SUPERPLEX!! BUT MARR STOPS HIM FROM HOISTING HIM BY REPEATEDLY BASHING HIS NECK WITH DOWNWARD ELBOWS!! He continues to beat and batter him with the elbows before he hooks both arms! What in the world?? MARR IS GOING TO GO FOR THE QUEEN IS DEAD OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! BUT JOHNSON IS ABLE TO LIFT HIS KNEE AND IT TAKES MARR OUT!! MARR IS LAID OUT ON THE TURNBUCKLE, DESPERATELY HOLDING AS JOHNSON GRABS HIM BY THE SIDE!! AND HE LIFTS HIM UP!! AND BOTH MEN GO DESCENDING DOWN INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH AN AVALANCHE GUTWRENCH SUPERPLEX!! JOHNSON ISN’T YET AS HE MAINTAINS THE SUPLEX HOLD, ROLLS BACKWARDS, AND DEADLIFTS HIM… INTO ANOTHER PICTURE-PERFECT GUTWRENCH SUPLEX… WITH A BRIDGE!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Eve: MARR GETS HIS SHOULDER UP!! A beautiful sequence of those two consecutive gutwrench suplexes from Lucas Johnson. He slides into the corner and uses the ropes to get into a readied stance. Charlie Marr sluggishly gets up to his feet and turns around to a JOHNSON IN AN ALL-OUT SPRINT!! JOHNSON GOES FOR A SHOOT KICK!! BUT MARR GRABS HIS FOOT, PULLS HIM IN AND DRIVES HIM DOWN ONTO HIS KNEE!! A BACKBREAKER AS HE ISN’T DONE YET!! HE FLIPS HIM OVER BY THE LEGS AND HOISTS HIM UP INTO A POWERBOMB!! AND HE SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A FOLDING POWERBOMB!!! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Eve: JOHNSON POWERS OUT, BUT HE IS QUICKLY MET WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE HEAD AS HE ROLLED TO HIS KNEES!! Marr doesn’t go for the cover as he runs the ropes!! MARR SPINS AROUND AND LOOKS FOR HIS DISCUS CLOTHESLINE!! BUT JOHNSON GRABS HIS ARM, FLOATS OVER AND DRILLS HIM WITH A DDT!! JOHNSON SPIKED HIM ONTO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH THAT DDT AS HE WANTS TO DO MORE DAMAGE!! HE STANDS TO HIS FEET AND WAITS FOR MARR TO GINGERLY GET UP TO HIS FEET!! AND JOHNSON CLOCKS HIM WITH A SHOOT KICK TO THE LEFT EAR!! AND HE STUFFS HIM WITH ANOTHER KICK, THIS TIME RIGHT TO THE FRONT OF HIS FACE!! CHARLIE MARR IS SWAYING SIDE TO SIDE AS JOHNSON GOES TO THE ROPES!
Deadprez: JOHNSON REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND LAUNCHES FORWARD TO GRAB CHARLIE MARR BY THE HEAD!! THERE IS THE CUTTER!! BUT MARR CATCHES HIM RIGHT INTO THE SLEEPER HOLD!! HE COUNTERS THE JUMPING CUTTER INTO THE TRANQUILITY SLEEPER HOLD AS HE IS NOW IN A PRECARIOUS POSITION!! MARR NOW TRIES TO DRAG HIM DOWN TO SCISSOR BOTH LEGS!!

Eve: JOHNSON IS PERCHED ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! BUT MARR LAUNCHES INTO THE ROPES AND IT TAKES OUT THE FOUNDATION BENEATH HIS LEGS!! JOHNSON GOES FACE FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS MARR GRABS BOTH OF HIS ARMS AND PULLS HIM OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! AND HE BRIDGES HIM ON THE ROPES!! AND HE SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A ROPE-HUNG SNAP DDT!! BOTH SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!! THIS HAS TO BE IT!!

( DING! DING! DING! )
( “Survivor’s Guilt” by Dave echoes throughout the speakers to the usual boos. Charlie gets off Johnson and raises his fists in the air in the center of the ring to celebrate his victory. He shakes his head at the subconscious Lucas Johnson before exiting the ring and making his wa
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… CHARRRLIEE MARRR!!Deadprez: Charlie Marr puts the light out on Lucas Johnson with that Charing Cross that was hit from out of nowhere! Both competitors were just peppering each other with their devastating strikes, and Marr was finally able to introduce his discus lariat that spoiled the Showdown return of Lucas Johnson!
Eve: Congratulations to Charlie Marr, but Lucas Johnson did his thing tonight. He is definitely on his way to the top and Amir Yusuf better have been watching tonight!
(The scene fades into interviewer Kyra Phillips backstage with the Showdown backdrop behind her and a microphone in her hand. She seems to be her cheery self as she’s ready to introduce her next guest.)
Kyra Phillips: It’s been a hell of a show so far, but we are not done yet as we continue to build up Reasonable Doubt! With me right now, is a man who is looking to achieve a milestone and win his tenth World Championship. He may have fallen short to Lethal Consequences last year, but he’s not letting that deter him. Ladies and gentlemen…Impact!
(Impact appears in the camera shot with an emotionless look on his face as Kyra Phillips begins the interview straight away.)
Kyra Phillips: Impact, last week, you fell short against Lethal Consequences, but people were talking about this…
(LAST WEEK: Footage of last week’s ending of Showdown airs. It’s after Impact falling short in his match where King Kass attacks Impact from behind, locking in ‘The Louis Vuitton of Wrestling Moves’ on the nine-time World Champion. She begins to basically destroy the older Elitists as she grabs the support beam from the steel chair, places it in Impact’s mouth, and begins to pull on it backward. With Kassidy focused on destroying the hell out of Impact, she gets a punt kick to the back of her head from Theron Nikolas. Theron follows that with the kamigoye a.k.a. the ‘Divine Sunder’ to the front of her head before finishing her off with ‘God’s Requiem, but we see that King Kass is refusing to stay down, causing for Theron to connect with the same move again — but on a steel chair. With the Answers World Champion down, Theron turns his attention to Impact as he connects with ‘God Requiem’ for the third time. The last shot is of the ‘God Emperor’ standing tall.)
(The scene returns to the present-day as Impact shakes his head at watching the footage over again. Kyra Phillips proceeds with the interview.)
Kyra Phillips: Showdown concluded with Theron Nikolas standing tall but —
Impact: Let’s state the obvious — I did fall short to Lethal Consequences. Honestly, I am glad to see that LC brought the smoke last week, but don’t let that victory write me off as someone who isn’t capable of getting the job done. I understand that people are going to fall to conclusions and be like: “Impact won’t be able to get the job done at Reasonable Doubt!” “Impact won’t be able to hang with some of the younger talents!” Like, I have been going up against some of these younger talents in Xander Payne and Limmy Monaghan and showing them that I am better than them in every single way. Win, loss, it doesn’t matter the result because at the end of the day, I am still one of the best in the business. I am still able to hold myself together after facing a loss like this. I am able to learn from the error of my ways, absorb the mistakes in my mind and utilize it to make me into a better competitor. I don’t face losses and run away in the aftermath like my name is Theron Nikolas. I don’t bitch, piss and moan like my name is Kassidy Heart or ‘King’ Kass. I use these setbacks and become better than those winners of the match. I use it to make sure that I don’t fall for the same traps that they were able to get me in. That’s what separates me from Theron and Kassidy, Kyra. I’m a student of the game. Even when I’ve reached milestones such as being a nine-time World Champion. I am still hungry. I am still looking for feedback and correction. I am still looking for that extra edge that is going to make me better than the rest of my competition. If there is anything that I enjoy more than in this world, it’s constantly proving the neckbeards and the dweebs that Impact is still the pinnacle of this business. Impact still has so much to give and at Reasonable Doubt, there is going to be hell to pay.
Impact: But, let’s not talk about how Showdown concluded, but how Showdown began. Remember when I left both Theron and Kassidy laying over a crushed table? It was a gorgeous sight. It was nothing more beautiful than to see Kassidy Heart get triggered. That’s the thing with a lot of women in this business, they aren’t built for emotional and blood-thirsty beefs like this. They aren’t built to overcome situations like the one that she’s experiencing at the moment. I didn’t need to say much, but I was able to get underneath her skin. I was able to get my words across and shift this entire beef with the two of us to my ideal direction. I know that I’ve been quiet with Theron Nikolas, but I do get quite a few things that I’d like to say about him —
???: What’s that exactly?
(Speaking of the devil, Theron Nikolas shows up on the camera shot as he stands across from Impact. Kyra Phillips almost feels herself being squished, but is determined to get both Elitists’ thoughts and statements.)
Impact: Should have known that you were lurking backstage.
Theron Nikolas: I’ve got places to be and people to talk to.
Impact: You don’t need to explain, Theron. It’s not like we’re still fighting for the same team.
(Theron Nikolas isn’t quite sure if Impact was referencing the Team Showdown situation or Impact’s brief time in the One Percent, but it did get Theron thinking.)
Theron Nikolas: You’re right, Impact, but I will always keep a close eye on any potential threats. As I’ve established, I will take down every man or woman, who poses as a threat to me winning back MY Answers World Championship. I am not opposed to taking you down, Impact. You don’t intimidate me whatsoever. You don’t intimidate anyone these days. Perhaps, you’ll have your moments where you will intimidate the basic rookie of this company, but not someone with the knowledge that I possess. Despite ‘running away,’ I’ve kept in touch with the product. For someone who parades themselves as this megastar, you did a great job with playing third-fiddle to Serena Bennett. You did a great job with relying on some whore to save your World Heavyweight Championship reign, only to lose it to one of the biggest jokes on Showdown, not named Ronan Malosi. You did a great job with thinking that you were going to defeat one of the biggest charity case World Champions in 2021 not named Terry Chambers. Do you think that you are someone that Hawk would want as the Answers World Champion? Do you see yourself as someone who is reliable and isn’t a match away from being a crippled mess? I drop you on your neck and you’re done Impact.
Impact: You’re really doing the old and crippled jokes?
Theron Nikolas: Don’t interrupt me.
(Impact shuts up right away, allowing Theron Nikolas to continue.)
Theron Nikolas: You think that you are someone that management would want to parade around as their Answers World Champion? Do you think that it is good business for a company, who prides itself in elevating younger talent to allow someone who’s in their forties to carry the Showdown brand on their broken back? It’s bad that we’re allowing someone like King Kass to carry Showdown on their back, but I don’t think that anyone sees her as any sort of locker room leader. They don’t see her as someone who actually carries her luggage, let alone a brand on her back. We don’t need fragile whores like her on the throne. We don’t need fragile whores like her to carry around one of the most prestigious championships in EAW. I think that management can agree with me on that, Impact. Deep down, they know that I am best for business. They know that I am someone who is more than capable of keeping the Showdown brand from falling down that dark hole like it did last season. I think everyone in management knows that Kassidy has overstayed her welcome as champion. In a way, I think that she’s preparing for her demise. It’s just a matter of which one of us is going to dethrone her and I am going to do whatever I can to make sure that it’s going to be me. You, Impact, I just don’t think that you have ‘it’ anymore. I can go on about how you’re old, washed-up, tired, and out of shape, but no one can be as good-looking as me.
(Impact gets closer to Theron Nikolas’ face. Theron has a smirk on his face, knowing that what he said has gotten underneath the skin of ‘The Most Watched Champion in History.’ Impact has a cold and intense stare, almost a few seconds from punching Theron in the face.)
???: Don’t be shy, punch him in the face.
(Both Impact and Theron Nikolas turn at the same time to look at King Kass, who is more than ready to compete against Ronan Malosi. The one thing that stands out from her wonderfully crafted ring gear is the Answers World Championship, glistening underneath all of the backstage lights. Now, a staredown between the three of them happens, but eventually, Theron and Impact can feel the awkwardness of her stare. Suddenly, she begins to snap out of whatever she was going through, almost like she was in a trance. She forms a smile at the corner of her lips.)
King Kass: Don’t mind me, but I was more than enjoying to seeing the interaction by the two of you. I would go through this whole monologue that I did last week, but I felt like I got my point across there quite well. For someone who LOVES to hear herself talk, I even know when I should take things short and sweet, so I am going to keep things simple. What the two of you did last week on Showdown, you will pay for that shit. You guys have no idea the bitch that you have woken up. I will proceed to rip the two of you cunts, limb by limb until you have nothing to help you stand up after the crushing loss that you will suffer at the hands of your King. After I get through the two of you, there will be nothing stopping me from breaking the record and becoming the longest-reigning Answers World Champion in EAW History and when that happens, I will be the one-true ‘emperor’ and ‘legend’ in this business.
(King Kass turns on her heels and walks away, leaving Theron Nikolas and Impact alone once again. The words of the Answers World Champion changes the tone of the entire room and it makes them wonder what in the world she has in store for them going into Reasonable Doubt. It makes the whole atmosphere intense. Both of these men want to be the Answers World Champion so much, they are willing to destroy one another to achieve that.)
Theron Nikolas: What was exactly what you were planning to do to me?
Impact: Why don’t I show you?
(Impact begins to launch himself towards the ‘God Emperor,’ but before he could do that, several referees run up to them, trying to hold the two men back. Security interjects themselves into the conversation as the two men begin to bicker at one another. We have Theron trying to goad Impact into hitting him, knowing that security is doing their job with holding both men back. Meanwhile, Impact is showing a bit of his hot-headed nature and trying to egg Theron to fight him.)
???: Are you fucking kidding me??
(Showdown General Manager Hurricane Hawk interjects himself into the scene. He is already pissed due to the chaos with TLA and Charlie Marr happening at the beginning of the show. After that, it seems like his patience is thin and he’s not allowing for more chaos to ensue on his show.)
Hurricane Hawk: We are not going to have this shit happen tonight. Save it for tonight —
Theron Nikolas: (from behind some security) Yeah, Impact, do what Hawk says.
Impact: (from behind some security) You have no idea what I plan to do the moment I step into the ring, you ugly, little ferret.
(Theron Nikolas and Impact begin to bicker once again as the referees and security try to hold them back. A bunch of unclear bickering ensures, which is only pissing off Hurricane Hawk even more.)
Hurricane Hawk: NO MORE CHAOS TONIGHT! BOTH OF YOU WILL BE THROWN OUT OF THE BUILDING, SUSPENDED AND I WILL STRIP YOU OF THE WORLD TITLE SHOT AT REASONABLE DOUBT IF YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT GETTING INVOLVED AND TOUCHING ONE FINGER ON ONE ANOTHER OR KASSIDY HEART THE REST OF TONIGHT! GET THEM OUT OF MY FACE!
(Theron Nikolas and Impact are in disbelief. They try to reason with Hurricane Hawk before turning their yelling towards each other. The security and referees struggle with backing the men away from each other. A bunch of yelling is heard until Theron and Impact are being pulled away to opposite sides of the building. It becomes quiet as it’s clear that both men are out of the area. After a moment to himself, Hawk begins to take a deep breath and calm himself down.)
(The scene fades Into a Commercial Break.)
(We cut to the back, where Ronan Malosi is speaking with one of the arena staff. Ronan dusts down the lapel of his expensive suit, and is obviously already annoyed.)
Ronan Malosi: You know who I am right?
Staff Member: Yes sir, always, you’re Ronan Malosi
(Ronan greases his palm with a $100 bill.)
Ronan Malosi: That’s for speaking the truth. Now the question bears, why are you still standing here? You should be on your way, pedaling as fast as those skinny legs will carry you. If Ronan Malosi asks for coffee, people like you fetch him a coffee. It’s very simple.
(The Staff Member looks confused.)
Deadprez: Look’s like Ronan is causing trouble again
Eve: When is he not?
(Ronan is seen shaking his head…)
Ronan Malosi: It’s not like it’s a million miles away, get on your bicycle, go buy me a Starbucks, I want one of those Venti Caramel Macchiato with lots of whipped cream, tell you what, I’m in a giving mood, go grab something for yourself and when you get back, you can shine my shoes. You should be honored by such a request.
(As Ronan smiles, the staff member doesn’t know what to make of it.)
Gavin Kirkland: I can see that and its great, this bozo should be honored to go and buy Ronan coffee and shine his shoes, I know I would be.
Deadprez: You would, he’s humiliating the guy, Gavin!
Gavin Kirkland: No, he is giving him financial opportunities, Prez.
(The Staff is looking at the $100 and wants to hand it back but it’s hard to give it up….)
Staff Member: It’s… it’s not my job Sir. If I leave, I could get fired and I need the work, have you seen it out there!?
Ronan Malosi: I don’t bother with the news when you’re rich. Excuse me… I didn’t get your name?
Staff Member: Jeff
Ronan Malosi: Well Jeff, your JOB is to make sure that Ronan Malosi, that’s me… the single greatest wrestler on the planet, is happy. Your JOB is to ensure that I walk into my MASSIVE main event with Kassidy Heart fully refreshed and focused. Do you think I look fully refreshed and focused JEFF!!!???.
Jeff: Errmm…
Ronan Malosi: I’m going to be the next contender for the Answers World Championship, do you want to be the guy who made my job that little bit harder? Do you want to be the reason I have more trouble than I should with Kassidy, simply because you wouldn’t do as you were told?
Jeff: Uhh… No?
Ronan Malosi: Precisely… so stop standing there chatting and get yourself gone. I have a schedule to adhere to and a World Champion to defeat.
Jeff: Yes… Mr. Malosi!
(The staff member hurries away, Ronan smirking and then turning around to go face to face with Jon Kelton who is stood in his wrestling gear. The two stand there, almost nose to nose for a few moments before Ronan takes a sidestep, Jon putting a hand on his chest.)
Jon Kelton: In a hurry Ronan?
Ronan Malosi: Well, if you hadn’t noticed, I’m in tonight’s main event whilst you’re jerking the curtain as usual. Plus, I need to make sure I’m ready for when Jeff there brings me my Starbucks. Gotta get these shoes off so he can polish them up nicely.
(Jon scoffs, shaking his head in bewilderment…)
Jon Kelton: You think everyone can be bought don’t you. Not everyone has a price you know, I certainly don’t.
Ronan Malosi: Let’s face it, you don’t have a lot of things Jon, your bar is low.
Jon Kelton: I have integrity, and you can’t buy that.
Ronan Malosi: Hmmm, not sure about that. I can’t imagine being able to buy my next Ferrari with integrity though.
Jon: :comeagain:
(Ronan sighs, ready to back off but Jon Kelton isn’t having any of it.)
Jon Kelton: No amount of money makes up for talent, and at Reasonable Doubt I’m going to show you firsthand.
Ronan Malosi: Right! Always with the promises Jon, but when have you ever delivered? Over a DECADE in this business, and what have you ever achieved? EVERY SINGLE TIME, you make these judgments and you end up falling flat on your face. I’m BETTER than you, and no, it’s not money that makes that happen, it’s simply being more talented. Tell me once you’ve shown yourself to be more capable… I’ll wait.
(With a smirk on his face, Ronan tilts his head waiting for an answer.)
Deadprez: His arrogance knows no bounds apparently.
Gavin Kirkland: He is only talking to Jon Kelton, he’s the worst of the worst.
Eve: Yes, a very accomplished wrestler that can defeat anyone at any time and this right before his huge match with TLA tonight!
(Kelton though doesn’t budge, there is still an awkward stare down….)
Jon Kelton: You and I have a long history no doubt. I even tried to help you win the GM position once, you remember that?
Ronan Malosi: Ancient history. Then again, when you haven’t done a lot it’s easy to focus on the little things right?
Jon Kelton: Yeah? Well, it would be my pleasure to bring you into the present by kicking your ass.
(Ronan again shakes his head and it is followed with some chuckles.)
Ronan Malosi: Jon, you’re nothing more than cannon fodder to the proper Elitists around here. You’re nothing more than a charity case that exists to do nothing more than lose to the people who really matter. You’ve done nothing for ten years, and right now you’re going nowhere in this company, whereas I will very soon be World Champion. That’s facts, and the sooner you recognize it, the sooner you can get out of my company, stop stinking up the roster, and go work at Walmart where you belong. Stacking shelves so that Jeff can fetch me a snack now and then. That’s your level Jon… I would have thought by now you’d be used to it.
(Ronan laughs again and heads towards the door, but Jon pushes past him and then slams the door shut in Ronan’s face. The door smashes into Ronan’s nose, busting it open, blood splattered all down Ronan’s expensive suit. Ronan staggers back in shocks, holding his face as blood pours through the gaps in his fingers.)
Gavin Kirkland: Wait! He can’t do that! He is going to get suspended!
Deadprez: I’d say he just did, I’m sure it was an “accident”.
Eve: Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
(The door reopens, Kelton looking in with a huge look of concern before turning into a smirk on his face. He looks him up and down, but then focuses on the blood splatter.)
Jon Kelton: My bad Ronan, I really should have more spatial awareness…
(Ronan stares at him, still in shock, looking down at his bloodied suit.)
Jon Kelton: Look, there is a laundromat in the hood, not too far away from here… bout a block…
(Jon flips something towards Ronan which he catches in his hand, the camera focusing on a quarter.)
Jon Kelton: It’s on me bro… least I can do.
(Jon Kelton laughs, shutting the door behind him, Ronan staring at the quarter, anger slowly starting to consume him.)
Deadprez: This one is starting to get personal. Who knows where this will go next?
Gavin Kirkland: That’s easy, Kelton getting his face mangled like he always does if he isn’t suspended first!
Eve: I wouldn’t be so sure… and if I was Ronan, I’d be concentrating on tonight.
(The last shot is of Ronan seething in anger staring at the quarter before it cuts to a commercial break.)
(As we return from the commercial,The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…ONE FALL!!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac plays to a loud reaction from fans as TLA makes his way down to the ring, still slightly showing some effects from his brawl with Charlie earlier, but other than that, looks to be ready for a fight tonight.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! Hailing out of Tlaxcala, Mexico, weighing in at 210 pounds…HE IS LA PANTERA SEXUAL…TLA!!
Eve: Looks as if the fight with Charlie Marr earlier tonight mighta been just a warm up for TLA.
Deadprez: I’m sure it was, sometimes all it takes is a good smack in the face to get somebody in the fighting mood, proves no different here as TLA looks just about ring ready.
Eve: And I’m sure once the bell rings, he’s gonna be envisioning Marr in place of Kelton ahead of their encounter at Reasonable Doubt, which can prove to be a good thing or a bad thing.
Deadprez: That’s right, the last thing you wanna do is let emotions get the better of you in that ring.
(Ambitionz az a Ridah’ fades out and is soon replaced with ‘Last Strike ‘ by Polo G, which plays out both Jon Kelton and Londyn Zelaya, who look laser-focused tonight.)
Gina Romano: And his opponent! Residing out of Dallas, Texas, weighing in at 215 pounds, accompanied to the ring by Londyn Zelaya…HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE…JON KELTON!!
Eve: We mention Reasonable Doubt, but come said event, this man takes on Ronan Malosi.
Deadprez: Yeah, and it’s bound to be a fight as Ronan tried to put Kelton on the shelf recently by slamming his head through a car window.
Eve: Something Kelton sure as hell hasn’t forgotten, and will be looking to make Ronan Malosi pay soon enough.
(Kelton bounces up and down in his corner as his theme fades out, causing the referee to check on both competitors before signaling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: The bell has rung, and this match is officially underway between TLA and Jon Kelton, two game competitors tonight, both looking to send a message here as they lock up in the center of the ring. TLA gets the early advantage with a go behind on Kelton, locking in a rear waistlock. Kelton manages to slightly pry the hands of TLA apart before bringing him down with a side headlock takedown.
Deadprez: TLA grinds his forearm into the side of Kelton’s face, looking to get him off in any way he can, but Jon wrenches that headlock even more, looking to shut any attempt at momentum building for The Latin Assassin. However, his attempt is unsuccessful as TLA starts to power back to a vertical base, bringing Kelton along with him as Jon continues to try and keep a firm hold on TLA with that now standing side headlock.
Eve: But TLA shoves Kelton towards the ropes- OR SO WE THOUGHT AS THE HALL OF FAMER REELS KELTON BACK IN BY THE WAISTBAND OF HIS PANTS, AND INTO A SCHOOL BOY ROLLUP!
ONNNNNEEEEEE-
Eve: Oh, not even a full one count as Jon manages to kick out! The two immediately lock back up after scrambling to their feet! TLA makes another rear waistlock go behind! But Kelton anticipated it this time round, and makes a go behind of his own. TLA, again, one step ahead, making another go behind! Kelton is forced to pry the hands of TLA apart once more, but uses the opening to turn around, and catch TLA with a fireman’s carry takedown, which he transitions into a grounded side headlock! Although, TLA uses those long legs of his to escape with a headscissors!
Deadprez: But Kelton kicks out of it, both are again forced to rush back to their feet, TLA with a side headlock takedown, KELTON with the headscissors escape this time, but TLA the one to kick out of it as we have a stalemate!
Gavin Kirkland: Both are eyeing each other down like I’m tryna eye Londyn Zelaya’s ass at ringside!
Deadprez: :Gucci:
Eve: :francis: Anyways, the two circle each other before another collar-and-elbow tie up occurs, it’s Kelton with the advantage, standing side headlock! TLA looks to escape by rebounding him off the ropes, but Kelton drops to one knee while TLA is brought down to both, effectively halting that attempt at momentum building. TLA keeps his hands wrapped around the waist of Kelton before rolling onto his back, subsequently bringing Kelton onto his shoulders for a bridging pin of sorts!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
Deadprez: Nice try there by the veteran, but Kelton kicks out, bringing them right back square one as both are knelt on the mat for that side headlock, but not for long as TLA powers back to his feet, and once again tries to rebound Kelton off the ropes, this time successful in his efforts! And there’s TLA with a drop down, followed up by a leapfrog, and the rebounding Kelton runs right into a DROPKICK, sending him into retreat on the outside of the ring, perhaps looking to catch a breather! Kelton gets up to one knee as Kelton whispers some word of advice into his ear before clearing out, realizing that TLA is gonna take to the outside by slingshotting himself over the top rope!
Eve: BUT KELTON QUICKLY GETS OUT OF DODGE, MAKING TLA CATCH HIMSELF ON THE APRON! JON LOOKS TO TRIP TLA BY SWIPING HIS HAND! BUT TLA LEAPS OVER KELTON, AND TO THE OUTSIDE! BUT RIGHT AS TLA TURNS AROUND, HE GETS CAUGHT WITH A SUPERKICK! TLA FALLS TO THE FLOOR, NOW SLUMPED AGAINST THE STEEL STEPS, BUT KELTON PULLS HIM BACK UP TO SLAM TLA DOWN FACE FIRST ON SAID STEPS WITH A FIREMAN CARRY FACEBUSTER, SOME FULL ON BRUTALITY ON DISPLAY BY KELTON!
Gavin Kirkland: I mean, what do you expect? The guy’s looking to really prove his worth to the Showdown brand, and there’s no better way to do it than by beating someone the caliber of TLA.
Deadprez: You’re right about that as now Kelton inflicts some more punishment on TLA with a barricade back Suplex! The Hall of Famer’s in trouble now as Kelton rolls him back into the ring. TLA’s on all fours looking to get his wits about him before Kelton props him up in the corner, but TLA isn’t there for long as he gets Irish whipped into the opposite one, WHICH IS FOLLOWED UP BY A CORNER SPEAR! THE WIND OF TLA HAS TO BE KNOCKED OUT OF HIM AS HE COMES STAGGERING OUT OF THE CORNER, BUT RIGHT INTO A SNAP SUPLEX! KELTON FLOATS INTO A COVER!
ONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Eve: Oh, just a one count as TLA gets the shoulder up! Jon Kelton grabs ahold of his head before propping him back up in the corner again, just driving the shoulder into the gut some more with shoulder thrusts, and shows some more of that aggressivity with punches in the corner before the referee pulls Kelton away! BUT HE CHARGES TLA IN THAT CORNER AFTERWARDS- ONLY TO GET CAUGHT WITH A BIG BOOT, AND NOW TLA STARTS TO FIGHT OUT OF THAT CORNER WITH BIG FOREARMS TO THE TEMPLE!
Deadprez: KELTON GETS BACKED UP IN THE CORNER BY SAID FOREARMS, TLA WHIPS HIM INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER NOW, THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT AT A CORNER RUNNING CLOTHESLINE, BUT KELTON GOT OUT OF DODGE! LOOKS TO CHARGE TLA IN THE CORNER NOW WHILE HES VULNERABLE, BUT EATS A BACK ELBOW FOR HIS TROUBLES, STAGGERING HIM BACK A BIT! TLA SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE FROM THAT CORNER, AND ONTO KELTON WITH A CROSSSBODY!
Eve: BUT JON ROLLS THROUGH, SHOWING TRUE STRENGTH AS HE POWERS TLA UP BEFORE POPPING HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDER FOR A RUNNING POWERSLAM! JON KELTON MOVES WITH SOME SENSE OF URGENCY HERE AS HE BRINGS TLA BACK UP TO HIS FEET FOR THE FINAL ATONEMENT! FUTURE SHOCK DDT CONNECTS!
ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
TH-
Deadprez: NO! ALMOST A THREE, BUT TLA REFUSES TO BE PUT AWAY THAT EASILY! HOWEVER, JON KELTON ISNT GONNA STOP TO MOPE AROUND, AND INSTEAD OPTS TO MOUNT TLA WITH FOREARMS AND PUNCHES AS TLA DOES HIS BEST TO GET HIS HAND UP, BUT ITS NO USE AS THOSE BLOWS SURE ARE CONNECTING! KELTON PULLS TLA TO A KNEELING POSITION, GRABBING AHOLD OF HIS WRIST WITH ONE HAND, AND PUNCHING IN THE FACE WITH THE OTHER BEFORE SHORT ARMING HIM INTO A SAMOAN DROP!
Eve: TLA rolls over to the ropes, using them to assist in getting back to his feet while Kelton takes his time in approaching a kneeling TLA, who he attempts to short arm into that Samoan drop for the second time! BUT TLA CATCHES HIM WITH AN ELBOW, NOW SPINNING BACK ELBOW, A COMBO WHICH HAS KELTON ON WOBBLY LEGS RIGHT ABOUT NOW, AND THERES A STEP-UP ENZIGURI TO OFFICIALLY KNOCK HIM DOWN! TLA is finally starting to roll again in this match up as he approaches a seated Kelton in the corner!
Deadprez: BUT HE GOT BAITED AS KELTON USES THE BELT OF TLA AS LEVERAGE TO PULL HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! KELTON TAKES HIM OUT OF THE CORNER, AND TO THE CENTER OF THE RING NOW, ATTEMPTING ANOTHER FINAL ATONEMENT DDT! BUT TLA TWIRLS OUT OF IT, JACKING THE JAW OF KELTON WITH A VERY STIFF, BUT VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT, WHICH KNOCKS KELTON INTO THE PLOW POSE! TLA STACKS HIM UP FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: KELTON EXPLODES OUT OF THE COVER, STILL HAVING SOME FIGHT LEFT IN HIM, BUT TLA LOOKS TO EXTINGUISH ANY BIT HE HAS LEFT WITH THE MEXICAN DESTROYER! BUT JON BACKS HIMSELF UP AGAINST THE ROPES, TLA GRABS THE TOP ROPE WITH BOTH HANDS AS JON BACK BODY DROPS HIM OVERHEAD TO ESCAPE THE DESTROYER! OF COURSE, TLA CATCHES HIMSELF ON THE APRON, KELTON TURNS AROUND TO REALIZE THIS, AND GOES FOR A PUNCH, BUT GETS CAUGHT WITH A HEADBUTT INSTEAD, CAUSING HIM TO STAGGER BACK!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA GOES TO SPRINGBOARD OFF THE TOP ROPE, BUT KELTON SHOVES HIM OFF, AND BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! TLA FAVORS SAID BACK AS KELTON RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR A SUICIDE DIVE, FORCING THE BACK OF TLA TO COLLIDE WITH THAT BARRICADE FOR A SECOND TIME IN A ROW BEFORE SENDING HIM BACK INTO THE RING!
Deadprez: AND NOW KELTON IS STALKING HIS PREY, LINING HIM UP FOR THE TWIST OF FATE, SPIKING TLA ON HIS HEAD, AND HE MOVES INTO A COVER, HOOKING BOTH LEGS!
ONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: ANOTHER KICKOUT BY TLA, AND ITS HERE THE FRUSTRATION IS STARTING TO SHOW AS HE POUNDS THE MAT IN ANGER, BUT LONDYN IS TRYING TO REMIND KELTON THAT HE MUST STAY FOCUSED RIGHT ABOUT NOW, AND I THINK HES GONNA HEED THAT ADVICE AS HE HOISTS TLA BACK UP TO A VERTICAL BASE! IT LOOKS LIKE KELTON’S GONNA ATTEMPT A POWERBOMB…AND HE SUCCESSFULLY PULLS IT OFF, BUT HE POWERS TLA BACK UP FOR ANOTHER, WHICH IS AGAIN SUCCESSFULLY DONE! BUT HES GONNA TRY FOR A THIRD ONE NOW, WHICH MIGHT BE THE STRAW THAT BREAKS THE CAMEL’S BACK AS TLA REIGNS DOWN WITH PUNCHES TO THE DOME!
Eve: AND HE COUNTERS THAT THIRD POWERBOMB ATTEMPT WITH A HURRICANRANA!! KELTON HURRIES BACK TO HIS FEET, TAKING A WILD SWING AT TLA, ONLY TO MISS AND GET CAUGHT WITH A ZIG ZAG! TLA SIGNALS THAT THIS WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF THE END NOW AS HE CLIMBS TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, PERHAPS LINING KELTON UP FOR BURNOU- NO! KELTON THREW HIS BODY ON THE TOP ROPE, CAUSING TLA TO CROTCH HIMSELF!
Deadprez: KELTON SPRINGS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE NOW, TRYING TO SET TLA UP FOR A SUPERPLEX! BUT TLA FIGHTS OUT OF IT WITH SHOTS TO THE BODY, SLAMMING THE FACE OF KELTON DOWN ON THE TOP ROPE TO KNOCK HIM BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS! TLA IS GONNA ATTEMPT IT ONE MORE TIME..BURNOUT! …BUT KELTON NARROWLY GOT THE KNEES UP, HE PLAYED POSSUM AS HE QUICKLY PLANTS TLA WITH THE UNPRETTIER! AVADA KEDAVRA CONNECTS! JON HOOKS BOTH LEGS!
ONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THRRRRRRRREEEEEEE-
Eve: MY GOD, I THOUGHT KELTON HAD HIM RIGHT THERE AS TLA GOT THE SHOULDER UP JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME! KELTON GRABS TLA BY THE BEARD, MAKING SURE TO ALIGN HIM JUST RIGHT AFTER STANDING HIM BACK UP AGAIN FOR THE SPINNING HEEL KICK! BUT TLA DUCKS UNDERNEATH, SHOVING KELTON THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AS HIS BACK WAS TURNED FOR A SPLIT SECOND! KELTON LANDS ON HIS FEET THOUGH BEFORE TRYING TO RE ENTER THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! BUT TLA CAUGHT HIM WITH A SWIFT PUNT KICK AS HE POKED HIS HEAD IN!
Deadprez: TLA PULLS HIM BACK IN THE RING WITH A FRONT FACELOCK, AND HE STRAIGHTENS KELTON’S POSTURE BEFORE POPPING HIM WITH THE SWAG SHOT! THAT PIMP SLAP ECHOES THROUGHOUT THE ARENA AS IT HIT HARD, SO MUCH SO, KELTON SPINNED AROUND OFF THE IMPACT, LEAVING HIM WIDE OPEN FOR A TIGER SUPLEX TO DUMP HIM ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! TLA BRIDGES FOR THAT COVER!
ONNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHRRRRRRREEEE-
Eve: KICKOUT BY KELTON! TLA SHAKES HIS HEAD IN DISBELIEF AS HE PULLS KELTON BACK TO HIS FEET! ANOTHER MEXICAN DESTROYER ATTEMPT IS MADE! BUT JON PUTS THE BREAKS ON THAT, MAKING SURE ALL HIS WEIGHT IS DOWN, NIPPING THAT IN THE BUD, BUT TLA SWITCHES THINGS UP, DROPPING KELTON WITH A WICKED POWERBOMB, WHICH IS FOLLOWED UP BY AR15- WAIT, TLA STILL HAS TO TURN KELTON ON HIS STOMACH, BUT JON IS TRYING TO FIGHT THAT PRETTY HARD!
Deadprez: BUT A WISE MOVE BY THE VETERAN, JUST KICKING THE BACK OF KELTON TO GET HIM TO BUDGE, OFFICIALLY LOCKING IN THAT LASSO FROM EL PASSO NOW! KELTON’S IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE AS HE TRIES TO REACH OUT FOR THE ROPES, BUT TLA HAS HIM SLAP DAB IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON RAISES THAT HAND IN THE AIR, THIS MIGHT BE OVE-
Eve: NO! HE DECIDES AGAINST TAPPING OUT, OPTING TO TRY AND CLAW HIS WAY TO THE ROPES INSTEAD, TLA TRIES TO WRENCH ON THAT HOLD AS MUCH AS HE CAN, BUT ITS STARTING TO FALL APART WITH THE CONSTANT MOVEMENT FROM KELTON, WHO SEEMS DETERMINED TO REACH THOSE ROPES!
Deadprez: AND THE DETERMINATION PAYS OFF AS HE DOES EXACTLY THAT, THE REFEREE BEGINS THE COUNT OF TLA!
Referee: ONE! TWO! TH-
Deadprez: TLA FINALLY RELEASE THE HOLD, JUST SEEMINGLY RUNNING OFF PURE ADRENALINE FOR THE MOST PART, MANAGING TO BLOCK OUT THE REFEREE’S COUNT! TLA JUST CRUMPLES DOWN TO THE MAT NOW, THIS MATCH HAVING TAKEN A LOT OUT OF HIM THUS FAR! BUT KELTON STARTS TO USE THOSE ROPES TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET, TLA STARTS TO DO THE SAME ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF KELTON! THE TWO BOTH GET TO ONE KNEE BEFORE LOCKING EYES FROM ACROSS THE ROOM, OR IN THIS CASE RING!
Eve: BOTH JON AND KELTON SLOWLY MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE CENTER IN ORDER TO MEET, KELTON FAVORING HIS BACK, AND SPORTING A SMALL LIMP OFF THAT SUBMISSION HOLD! BUT THAT DOESNT STOP THE TWO FROM EXCHANGING STRIKES, TLA WITH FOREARMS, KELTON WITH SOME OF HIS OWN, THE TWO EVEN MIXING SOME ELBOW STRIKES IN THERE WITH THIS SUDDEN BURST OF ENERGY! TLA! KELTON! TLA! KELTON!
Deadprez: KELTON! KELTON! KELTON! JON GOES FOR ONE FINAL SWING! BUT TLA BLOCKS FOR ANOTHER FOREARM, FOLLOWED UP BY A BODY SHOT, SHOOT KICK TO THE KNEE, AND ATTEMPT A SPINNING BACKFIST! BUT KELTON DUCKS UNDER IT, PUSHING TLA BACK INTO THE ROPES FOR A BACK ELBOW AS HE REBOUNDS BACK! TLA MOVES TO SEATED POSITION AS HE GRABS AT HIS NOSE! KELTON RUNS OFF THE ROPES IN FRONT OF HIM FOR A BIG BOOT!
Eve: TLA! TLA DROPPED DOWN TO THE MAT ONTO HIS BACK, ROLLING KELTON UP IN A SCHOOL BOY AS HE MISSES THE BOOT, BUT TLA DOESNT HOLD IT FOR A COVER, ROLLING JON TO BOTH KNEES INSTEAD! CANADIAN DESTROYER ATTEMPT AGAIN! BUT KELTON BACK BODY DROPS TLA OVERHEAD, TLA THOUGH LANDS ON HIS FEET, RUNNING OFF THE ROPES NOW! KELTON TURNS AROUND TO TAKE NOTICE, AND ALMOST GETS CAUGHT WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
Deadprez: BUT HE DUCKS UNDERNEATH, COUNTERING WITH A BACKSLIDE PIN!
ONNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
T-
Deadprez: TLA KICKS OUT, WHICH ALLOWS HIM TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET A BIT QUICKER THAN KELTON, WHICH LEFT THE OPPOSITION OPEN FOR A MEXICAN DESTROYER!!! COVER IS MADE!!
ONNNNNEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: HERES YOUR WINNER…TLA!!!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac plays to a thunderous ovation as TLA rises up off of Kelton to have his hand raised in victory by the referee.)
Eve: What a match between these two men, and if that didn’t send a message to Charlie Marr, I don’t know what will.
Deadprez: Yeah, it was a hard fought battle, both going back-and-forth, but in the end, TLA found an opening and capitalized.
Eve: But take nothing away from Jon Kelton, he went toe-to-toe with the hall of Famer here tonight, and even had him beat on occasion, but tonight just wasn’t his night, and I’m sure Ronan Malosi isn’t gonna be looking to let him here the end of that, especially if he walks out victorious against Kass tonight.
(The camera fades elsewhere on a shot of TLA exiting up the ramp.)
(As the camera shifts backstage, we find Cameron Ella Ava standing with Kyra Phillips after her hard-fought match with Adam Lucas that ended in a draw….
Kyra Phillips: Thanks for joining me tonight, Cameron, we saw last week a real wrestling battle against two of the absolute best. Many are saying that this is what Showdown is all about and why Hurricane Hawk to start the show reiterated that this is Showdown, the wrestling show. We saw you both give it your all, unfortunately it ended in a time limit draw, your thoughts?
Cameron Ella Ava: It was tough, Kyra, both of us put everything out there last week and it sucks when there isn’t a clear-cut winner, which is why I went to Hurricane Hawk and asked for a rematch, he promised that we will get another chance at one another very soon and I am alright with that. Adam is a great wrestler, and he is only going to get better, but for me, I need to prove that I can still wrestle with the best. Losing to Limmy Monaghan sparked a little fire in me, I am better than that, I’m a former World Champion and maybe I have been coasting since I have returned, well it’s time to turn the knob up a little.
Kyra Phillips: And I know the fans will be wanting to see that rematch but in two weeks’ time, you will face Lethal Consequences and last week he defeated Impact in a Puerto Rican Old School Hardcore Match which was pretty amazing, sure he had help from Kassidy Heart but to say that in this type of match would you consider that to be an injustice? As there are no rules to this type of contest?
(Cameron nods before speaking….)
Cameron Ella Ava: Absolutely. In that environment there are no rules, look a win is a win and for the last month or so, since Territorial Invasion, Lethal Consequences has been talking about stepping it up, well he gets his shot at Reasonable Doubt, he gets the chance to prove that he is the LC of old and not some guy that is here to collect a paycheck. He showed up last week, he has time and time again tried to prove to me he can hang with Cameron Ella Ava, but here is the thing, Kyra…. This isn’t a Puerto Rican Old School rules match, he doesn’t get to use all those weapons to his advantage, he has to face me in a wrestling match, the question now is? Can he.
Kyra Phillips: And with that said, Reasona…..
(But before Kyra can finish her sentence, Lethal Consequences comes into the picture…)
Lethal Consequences: Looking good tonight Kelly, don’t cancel me.
Kyra Phillips: It’s Kyra.
Lethal Consequences: Yeah, whatever. Cameron, Cameron, Cameron, did you see what I did to that son of a bitch Impact out there last week? I whooped his ass, the Main Event on Showdown, like a traditional Puerto Rican cock fight and mine was a little bigger.
(Cameron just rolls her eyes….)
Lethal Consequences: You’re impressed, I get it. Listen to me closely though, cause I am only going to say this once, I proved it last week, hell I have been proving it since Territorial Invasion that I am still a World Champion and I saw earlier Hurricane Hawk giving out spots in the Extreme Elimination Chamber and well…. Guess what? I want one. Call it incentive, call it whatever you want, but come Reasonable Doubt? I’m not5 only going to kick your pretty ass, I will send a message to Hurricane Hawk that I want in on that Chamber at Road to Redemption!
(Cameron quickly cuts him off….)
Cameron Ella Ava: Yeah!? WELL SO DO I!
(She gets right to his face as both competitors look at one another. Lethal Consequences cracks a smirk…)
Lethal Consequences: Now do I have your attention, Cameron?
(He puts a middle finger right in her face before slowly backing up and walking away, leaving Cameron glaring at him seething as the camera fades before cutting to a commercial break for Gambling For Dummies featuring Ronan Malosi and some dude named Madcap.)
(The camera fades back to ringside, as we see Gina Romano standing in the center of the ring, holding an EAW-branded microphone. She smiles down the lens, before speaking.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: ONE FALL! AND IT IS THE MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING!!!!
(‘Mo Money’ by Ben McLusky blares through the speakers, as Ronan Malosi’s face appears on the titantron. The ENTIRE EAW Universe begins to boo, as Ronan runs out onto the stage. He’s holding his head, but he still is in a great mood; quite obviously confident in his ability to win this match. He dances on the stages – twirling in the center, kicking his legs – before he starts to walk down the ramp, clapping his hands.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first… Hailing from Palm Springs, Florida… Weighing in at 285 pounds… ‘THE INTERNATIONAL TREASURE’…. RONAAAAAAAAAAAN MAAAAAAALOOOOOSIIIIIIIIIIII!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes the man who is going to END Kassidy Heart’s winning streak! Call it biased, call it hate-driven, but this man Ronan Malosi just defeated Charlie Marr in the greatest count out victory that has ever occurred in Elite Answers Wrestling, and TONIGHT is his biggest match yet! You see, if he wins, he is pretty much GUARANTEED an opportunity at the Answers World Championship, GUARANTEED to be featured in ANOTHER main event, and GUARANTEED to headline one of the upcoming Free-Per-Views! Whether it be in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, or anything after, Ronan could get his biggest match to date!
(Ronan Malosi climbs up the ring steps, before entering the ring. He removes his hat from his head, and places it on the turnbuckles, before he removes the blazer from his very drippy jacket. ‘Monster’ by Kanye West would replace Ronan Malosi’s theme, however, as the lights in the arena turn a white-gold tinted color, and Kassidy Heart walks through the curtains. She appears annoyed at every single thing Ronan Malosi has done – the vibe, the dance, the entrance – but most importantly, the fact she has to face him once again, in a match she is CONVINCED is hers. She slumps the Answers World Title over her shoulder, before walking down the ramp…)
Gina Romano: And introducing his opponent… Hailing from Sydney, Australia… Weighing in at 138 pounds… SHE IS THE ANSWERS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD CHAMPION… ‘KING KASS’… KAAAASSSIIIIDYYYYYYYYYY HEAAAAAAAAAAAAART!!!!
Eve: I don’t agree with most of what Gavin said :mjpls: but I do agree that this is Ronan’s biggest match… but for Kassidy, this is just a match. This is something she may see as an easy day, something I can see her as seeing as an easy match. She’s going to wrestle with her heart on her sleeve, as everyone knows, so that leaves me wondering if we will get a repeat of last time! She has had tough opponents this season, and Ronan Malosi has a lot of shoes to fill. If he can do it, it could be historic… if not, well, nothing changes. :lupe:
(Kassidy Heart walks up the steel steps, before entering the ring. She wastes no time posing, as she stares directly into Ronan Malosi’s soul, straight through his eyes, and because of this, his facial expression changes. Kassidy reluctantly hands the referee her title, before she goes back to her corner and the theme fades out…)
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) WAIT! DON’T RING THE-
(DING! DING! DING!)
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) Bell… Can you not see I’m getting my beautiful, expensive suit off here, you bodaggit??? I can’t afford to get a crease!
Eve: Oh my fucking God.
(Ronan Malosi extends his arm out to the referee, signalling for him to stand back. The referee sighs, as Ronan pushes himself up against the ropes and *very slowly* starts to unbutton his shirt…)
Kassidy Heart: (off-mic) I swear to- …What is he doing???
(Kassidy seems beyond confused, as Ronan Malosi is entering a main event match by taking his suit off, obviously stalling. She looks to move forward, but the referee stops her, and her eyes roll.)
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) Just about… done!
Kassidy Heart: (off-mic) Fina-
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) Now for the extravagant bling!
(Ronan Malosi then starts to take his chain off, before he places it on the turnbuckle pole. He then goes for his golden rolex, and is obviously taking extra time.)
Eve: Well, it’s obvious that Ronan Malosi is stalling ahead of this matchup, as the last time we saw it happen… Ronan Malosi did not do very well, and that may have sat with him through the trial and tribulation he’s gone through for the longest time; ergo being made a joke. Only that he’s not really helping his case right now, if you want complete transparency; he’s ruining it. :mjlol:
Gavin Kirkland: Let the man have his PEACE whilst he protects the CHEDDAR! Kassidy Heart wouldn’t know money if it hit her in face, like Mr. DEDEDE’s coc-
Deadprez: Whoaaaa, easy there bud.
(Ronan Malosi removes the watch, and places it with his bling. He begins to jog on the spot, before he gets an idea, and he approaches the referee.)
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) Now I’m sure myself and your people have had… issues… in the past. Mainly the conspiracy. BUT! I am looking to move past, like humble, kind gentlemen…
(Ronan pulls out a $3 bill, probably to bribe the referee…)
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) Buy yourself something nice!
Referee: (off-mic) :comeagain: This is 3 bucks, yo.
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) I SAID NICE, NOT EXPENSIVE, MAFAKA!
(Ronan rolls his eyes, and goes back to his corner.)
Eve: Well, after all that is over, it’s like we’re FINALLY about to get this match underway, as the main event starts – after a long time waiting – right this second- Oh for fuck sake, REALLY???
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) Actually, ref… I think I’m still banged up. Can we do this later?
(He says, about to leave the ring, one foot through the ropes and on the apron whereas the rest of his body is inside of the ring itself, just lingering.)
Crowd: YOUUUU’RE A COW-ARD! *clap clap clap clap clap*
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) No! NO! I’m not a coward! It’s just… Jon Kelton attacked me, that’s all. I would’ve been ready to beat Kassidy Heart’s plastic ass black and blue but… I think I have a headache, so I might take a breather-
Eve: OH WAIT! KASSIDY HEART HAS SEEN ENOUGH, AS SHE CHARGES FORWARD TO CONNECT WITH AN EGG-CRACKING BOOT TO THE HEAD OF RONAN!
Deadprez: KASSIDY HEART HAS SEEN ENOUGH OF RONAN MALOSI’S SHITTY TACTICS, AS SHE STARTS TO STOMP ON THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD UNTIL HE EVENTUALLY FALLS TO HIS KNEES! IN WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS A TOE PUNT, SHE CONTINUES TO DRILL HER FEET INTO THE SIDE OF RONAN MALOSI’S HEAD! RONAN MALOSI IS SEEMINGLY HELPLESS, HELL, *FACTUALLY* HELPLESS AS KASSIDY HEART IS PROBABLY SCRAMBLING HIS BRAINS WITH EACH OF THOSE KICKS! SHE DOESN’T EVEN STOP ONCE HIS MOVEMENT PATTERNS STOP, NOR THE REFEREE CALLING HER BACK! HE TRIES TO PULL HER, AND IT TAKES LITERAL FORCE TO STOP HER!
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe: I feel terrible for Ronan right now! He was just concerned about his own safety, yet Kassidy Heart made it EVEN WORSE! Despicable! Luckily, Ronan is able to get his wits about him and roll to the outside, because if he didn’t, it would probably be even worse for the megastar who got unrightfully attacked by Jon Kelton!
Eve: You’re only saying this because he’s facing Kassidy Heart, right?
Gavin Kirkland: Oh look, a birdie! *whistle.* Anyway! Ronan Malosi exits to the outside, and starts to stumble towards our table, obviously stunned from all of those kicks!
Eve: But, guys, look in the ring! Kassidy Heart is preparing to charge as Ronan Malosi is completely unaware of her presence! He’s still dizzy from those kicks, to the point where Kassidy Heart is pretty much fighting the most fragile brick wall of her life, because there is literally nothing Ronan Malosi can do at this moment! Kass runs the ropes, before diving straight through them to perform a suicide dive onto Ronan Malosi! It doesn’t take him down completely, however, so she makes up for it by transitioning into a rapid flurry of punches, back to the head!
Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy Heart’s punches are visibly damaging Ronan here, as he starts to slump down our announce table as if he was squatting… only he’s not squatting! Kassidy is ruthlessly taking him out here, before she transitions to another method! She throws him straight into the apron, gut-first, before back into the announce table, back-first! She repeats this again, and again, and again, with each thud Ronan Malosi feels more pain! This is hard to watch!
Deadprez: Well you better get used to it, because she throws him into the announce table *AGAIN*, one last time, before rolling him into the ring! You don’t piss in the wind, tug on Superman’s cape, or fuck with Kassidy Heart; and this is the picture perfect reason as to why you do not do that! Ronan Malosi is in a LOT of trouble right now, as Kassidy Heart follows up, and moves to the corner! Ronan tries to recover, but he’s caught off by a running high knee from Kassidy Heart, before she plants him with a Side Russian Legsweep! Kass into the cover!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Eve: A kick out from Ronan Malosi, yet it seems as if she was expecting it; quickly transitioning into an Omoplata submission hold, and Ronan Malosi’s arm is being wrenched back by the second! NOW he’s lively, alright, as he’s quickly scattering around the ring frantically, trying to crawl to the ropes! Kassidy Heart is a submission specialist, however, and she’s able to wrench back the right amount that stops Ronan from being able to crawl! Ronan could be forced to tap here- but he somehow gets his leg on the bottom rope!
Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy Heart rolls back up to her feet after Ronan escapes, before stepping on the arm that she just had in an Omoplata! Kassidy Heart looks to stomp on it, but Ronan pulls his arm back! He uses his leg to sweep hers, before quickly transitioning into a roll up!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: But she kicks out! Ronan hangs on, though, before he starts to swing her in a lowered powerbomb position, slowly transitioning into a deadlift… A DEADLIFT SPINNING SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! KASSIDY HEART IS PLANTED DIRECTLY IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, BEFORE RONAN MALOSI COVERS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Deadprez: ANOTHER kick out from Kassidy Heart! Ronan looks slightly pissed off, but he doesn’t let it control him, as he quickly bounces back up to his knees, then his feet, with Kassidy Heart’s legs in hand! He rolls them forward into a standing position, before he goes for the Vertigo… AND IT CONNECTS! RONAN QUICKLY SCURRIES INTO THE COVER AGAIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Deadprez: A kick out from Kassidy Heart! Ronan thought he had it early on, and because of this, he slams the mat in frustration! Ronan thought he had a victory, he truly did, but it will take a LOT more than barely a two count to keep Kassidy down!
Eve: And because of this, Ronan has to keep the offense rolling! Taking too long will allow her to recover, and Ronan probably knows this! He grabs her by the head and throws her straight into the corner, before he starts to unleash punches! A punch to the jaw, a punch to the gut, a punch to the gut once more! Ronan continues his flurry of strikes, before he runs the ropes… BAM! A haymaker right across her jaw! Kass drops to a knee, as Ronan lays in on her!
Gavin Kirkland: Ronan has found a gust of wind behind him, as his recovery came quicker than expected! He starts to push his boot into Kassidy’s head, squeezing her face to wear her down, as well as push her neck into an awkward position, before Ronan then turns and runs, hitting the ropes once again… A BOOT RIGHT TO THE FACE! Kassidy Heart sure felt the sole of his 16 inch boot, but even then, it may not be enough! Ronan kneels down and grabs Kassidy by the throat, before DEADLIFTING HER AGAIN… A SWINGING CHOKESLAM BACKBREAKER! HE FALLS INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Deadprez: Another kick out! Ronan really can’t keep Kassidy Heart down for the count, but at least he’s doing better than he did in their last encounter! Speaking of which, Ronan quickly slides over, before locking in the grounded Double Underhook! ‘The Iron Maiden’ has been applied, and now Ronan looks to submit Kassidy Heart in the center of the ring just like she did to him over 4 months ago! Ronan tightens the pressure here, he’s obviously desperate and all of his movements support this! He wants to prove he’s a main event-
Eve: WAIT! KASSIDY HEART MANAGES TO PULL HER ARMS IN AND SLIP OUT WITH EASE! THE SUBMISSION SPECIALIST ROLLS TO HER FEET, BEFORE KICKING RONAN HARD RIGHT INTO THE ARM! HE PULLS IT BACK, AS KASS THEN GRABS THE WRIST, STOPPING HIM FROM RECOVERY… DOUBLE KNEE ARM BREAKER! RONAN ROLLS TO THE CENTER OF THE RING, AS KASSIDY LOOKS TO FOLLOW IT UP, CHARGING FORWARD WITH A PENALTY KICK STRAIGHT INTO THAT SAME ARM! SHE IS REALLY WEARING RONAN MALOSI DOWN HERE, AND IT COULD ALL PAY OFF AS THE FAVORITE TO WIN THIS MATCH LOCKS IN SOME OF HER MOST DANGEROUS MOVES!
Gavin Kirkland: AND THAT’S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING RONAN NEEDS TO AVOID, IF EVEN POSSIBLE! KASSIDY HEART GRABS HIM BY HIS HEAD, BEFORE HITTING A HUGE KNEE, AND PULLING HIM UP INTO A WAISTLOCK! KASSIDY HEART PULLS HER HIPS IN, TRYING TO STRUGGLE… OH MY FUCKING GOD, AND IT CONNECTS! A GERMAN SUPLEX RIGHT ONTO RONAN MALOSI, THE 6’8” 500 POUND BEHEMOTH OF A MAN… obvious guesstimate… GOES DOWN RIGHT INTO THE MAT! BUT KASS HOLDS ON, PULLING HERSELF UP TO HER FEET ONCE MORE… AND CONNECTING WITH A SECOND, ‘THE KASSPLODER PLEX’ COMBINATION, BRIDGING INTO A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THREEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: A KICK OUT, BUT LOOK HOW CLOSE KASSIDY HEART GOT! RONAN COULD BARELY KEEP HER DOWN FOR A TWO YET SHE’S STRONG ENOUGH TO GET A NEAR-THREE! RONAN NEEDS TO WATCH HIMSELF, ESPECIALLY SINCE KASSIDY HEART IS IN CONTROL! KING KASS GRABS RONAN BY THE JAW, BEFORE MOVING BACK INTO THE CORNER… SHE THEN SPRINTS IN HIS DIRECTION-
**SPIT!**
Deadprez: BUT RONAN SPITS AT HER! HE HAS A SMUG GRIN ON HIS FACE AFTER HE LITERALLY SPAT IN HER DIRECTION, THAT IS DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR FROM RONAN MALOSI, DISGUSTING INDEED! HE’S ONLY GOING TO PROVOKE HER MORE, THOUGH!
Eve: THAT, DEADPREZ, IS A FACT! KASSIDY HEART USES HER THUMB TO WIPE AWAY THE LITERAL SALIVA, BEFORE SHE CONNECTS WITH A HUGE ‘RAPTURE’ HELLUVA KICK, THOUGH RONAN IS NOT IN THE CORNER! HE DROPS TO THE GROUND, BEFORE KASSIDY HEART KNEELS DOWN ABOVE HIM! SHE THEN BEGINS TO UNLEASH FOREARMS, OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER AGAIN RIGHT INTO THE HEAD! KASSIDY HEART IS NOT LETTING RONAN THINK HE’S WORTHY OF THE POSITION THAT HE’S IN, NEVERTHELESS TREAT IT THE WAY THAT HE IS! KASSIDY HEART IS THE LEADER OF THIS BRAND, WHEREAS SHE THINKS RONAN IS A STAIN…
Gavin Kirkland: KASSIDY HEART LIFTS RONAN MALOSI BACK UP TO HIS KNEES, BEFORE GOING BACK TOWARDS THE CORNER, SETTING UP THE MOVE SHE WAS ABOUT TO HIT… KASSIDY HEART SPRINGS FORWARD AND PLACES HER FOOT ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK, LOOKING FOR THE ‘PAINFULLY EVER AFTER’…. BUT RONAN COUNTERS IT WITH A HUGE KNEELING PILEDRIVER! THAT’S BEYOND ANYTHING WE USUALLY SEE HIM HIT, BUT RONAN MALOSI IS BUSTING OUT THE MOVES! AFTER ALL, VICTORY GUARANTEES HIM AN ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH! RONAN SHOOTS THE HALF, AND COVERS KASSIDY!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: KASSIDY HEART KICKS OUT, HOWEVER!
Eve: Kassidy Heart kicks out, but notice something; Ronan has yet to even stir after she kicks out! Those forearms really did a number on him, and he’s pretty much resting right now! Ronan rolls away from Kassidy Heart, with a hold of his arm, Ronan has been brutalized in this match! Ronan Malosi slowly climbs up to his feet, however, and then starts to mess with the turnbuckles… wait, what? He starts to… WHY?? He’s going to throw his own match away by ripping that turnbuckle pad off- though, luckily for HIMSELF, the referee is there to stop him!
Referee: (off-mic) HALT! YOU CAN’T DO THIS, YO!
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) Alright! Alright! Thought you people would respect a megastar like me but… I guess you’re yet to open up to that idea! *smirk.*
Eve: The referee starts to put the turnbuckle pad back on, thank the lord, bu- Wait, no! Ronan! What’s he doing! He pulls his hand out from behind his back, and he has his chain! He wraps it around his knuckle, before charging up the fist! Kassidy Heart could get clobbered in the jaw with a metal chain… AND RONAN MALOSI SWINGS HIS FIST TOWARDS HER HEAD!
Deadprez: BUT KASSIDY CATCHES THE FIST! SHE WAS EXPECTING A NORMAL PUNCH, BUT NOTICES THE CHAIN THAT’S ATTACHED TO HIS HAND… BEFORE SHE BITES IT! SHE BITES THE HAND, MORE SPECIFICALLY, THE THUMB! RONAN DROPS THE CHAIN INSTANTLY, AS HE TRIES TO PRY HER AWAY, BUT KASSIDY’S CHOMPERS ARE TOO TOUGH! RONAN MALOSI CAN’T HELP BUT SUFFER, AS HE DROPS TO HIS KNEES AND IS ABOUT TO TAP OUT, BUT HE REALIZES… THE REFEREE IS STILL NOT LOOKING! RONAN GRABS THE CHAIN… THEN CRACKS IT OVER KASSIDY HEART’S HEAD! HE STUMBLES TO HIS FEET, AS KASSIDY DROPS DOWN TO HER KNEES, BEFORE HE DISPOSES OF THE EVIDENCE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: RONAN MALOSI IS NOW LOOKING FOR THE VICTORY, AS HE GRABS KASSIDY HEART BY THE WRIST, AND LOOKS AROUND THE ARENA; THE ARENA THAT IS RAINING DOWN BOOS! HE BASKS IN HIS MOMENT, BEFORE PULLING HER UP TO HER FEET! WITH A WRIST-LOCK APPLIED, HE YANKS IT IN CLOSER… TO CONNECT WITH ‘DEATH RO’!!!! THE IMPACT ALERTS THE REFEREE, AS RONAN MALOSI SHOOTS THE HALF AND HOOKS THE LEG!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT IT’S A KICK OUT FROM KASSIDY HEART! SHE MANAGES TO POWER THE SHOULDER UP ONCE MORE, AND RONAN IS LIVID!
Eve: RONAN IS *FURIOUS* THAT KASSIDY HEART KICKED OUT, HE DOESN’T BELIEVE IT WHATSOEVER! KASSIDY HEART, ON THE OTHER HAND, PROBABLY EXPECTED IT; AS DID EVERYONE ELSE! KASS IS ONE DANGEROUS INDIVIDUAL, SHE TOOK THREE OF LIMMY MONAGHAN’S ELBOWS BACK TO BACK, AND TWO IN THE ACTUAL MATCH, NOT TO MENTION EVERYTHING THERON HAS PUT HER THROUGH! AND THIS IS WHEN SHE’S *NOT* ON THE OFFENSE! QUITE FRANKLY, RONAN WAS EXPECTING TOO MUCH OUT OF TOO LITTLE AND IT COST HIM! IT REALLY DID! RONAN SLOWLY PUSHES HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET, EXTREMELY SLOWLY, GRABBING KASS’ HAIR ALONG WITH IT!
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) YOU KNOW WHAT???
(Ronan Malosi looks down at Kassidy Heart, continuing to pull her up more, looking to hit her with another Death-Ro, though first, he looks to mock her before he hits what he feels is certain defeat.)
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe: Ronan Malosi is about to cut another monologue…
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) IT’S O-
Deadprez: KASSIDY HEART WITH A KICK TO THE GUT… BEFORE DELIVERING A DEDEDE DDT! IT WASN’T THE QUICKEST SHE’S EVER DONE, SHE JUST GOT HIT WITH DEATH-RO, BUT AFTER THAT DEDEDE DDT, I DON’T THINK RONAN IS ENTIRELY AWAKE EITHER!
Eve: NO HE IS NOT, AS A MATTER OF FACT, SOME MAY EVEN CALL HIM UNCONSCIOUS! AS FOR KASSIDY, SHE ROLLS TOWARDS THE ROPES, AND SLOWLY USES THEM TO PULL HERSELF UP! ONE BY ONE BY ONE, SHE’S ABLE TO STAND BACK UP, WHEREAS RONAN IS OUT COLD! THOUGH… KASSIDY HEART MAKES SURE THAT RONAN WILL BE FEELING IT TOMORROW, WITH ANOTHER PENALTY KICK, THIS TIME TO THE HEAD! IF RONAN WASN’T UNCONSCIOUS THEN, HE CERTAINLY IS NOW, YET IT SAYS A LOT ABOUT KASS KNOWING THAT SHE DIDN’T GO RIGHT FOR THE COVER! KASS WANTS RONAN TO SUFFER!
Gavin Kirkland: AND SUFFER SHE WILL MAKE HIM DO! SHE LIFTS HIM UP OFF HIS FEET, BEFORE THROWING HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, ARM-FIRST! RONAN HOLDS DIRECTLY INTO HIS SHOULDER, BEFORE KASSIDY RUNS ON IN… AND HITS ANOTHER HELLUVA KICK, THIS TIME TO RONAN MALOSI’S ARM! QUITE HONESTLY, I THINK THIS IS JUST OUT OF SPITE! SHE KNOWS HE’LL TAP OUT! SHE GRABS HIM BY THE WRIST AND PULLS HIM TO THE CENTER OF THE RING, INTO A RIPCORD POSITION! KASSIDY HEART PUSHES FORWARD… BEFORE LOCKING IN THE ‘LOUIS VUITTON OF WRESTLING MOVES’!!! THE TORNADO DOUBLE ARM LEG SCISSORS RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Eve: RONAN MALOSI IS PRETTY MUCH FUCKED RIGHT NOW, I DON’T SEE A REALITY THAT HE GETS OUT OF THIS, AND I DON’T SEE A REALITY WHERE RONAN MALOSI IS ABLE TO SURVIVE! KASSIDY HEART KNOWS THIS TOO, AS SHE BENDS DOWN AND STARTS TO BITE ON THE SHOULDER THAT WAS RAMMED RIGHT INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, HAD CONNECTED WITH THE HELLUVA KICK, AND SO MUCH MORE EARLIER ON IN THE MATCH! THE REFEREE BENDS DOWN TO CHECK ON RONAN MALOSI, AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS PASS, HE SUBMITS TO KASSIDY HEART!
(TAP! TAP! TAP!)
Eve: THIS ONE IS OVER!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… THE ANSWERS-
(Just as ‘Monster’ by Kanye West started to play through the speakers, it quickly ended, as Kassidy Heart hit Ronan Malosi in the back of the head with a HUGE forearm smash, knocking him unconscious! Gina Romano, and the referee, both look unconscious, as the gradually pissed-off Kassidy Heart looks to do what she was stopped from doing the previous week… Kass then slides out of the ring, and moves towards the steel chair.)
Eve: OH GOD! RONAN MALOSI SUBMITTING WAS THE LEAST OF HIS WORRIES HERE! KASSIDY HEART GRABS THAT STEEL CHAIR, BEFORE PLACING HER FOOT ON THE FOUNDATION, ONE OF THE STEEL POLES… BEFORE STOMPING IT OUT! KASS GRABS THAT METAL BAR, BEFORE SLIDING BACK INTO THE RING! IN A HURRY, SHE LOCKS THE SUBMISSION BACK IN BEFORE RONAN CAN EVEN RECOVER… BEFORE PLACING THE METAL RIGHT OVER HIS DAMN MOUTH!
Deadprez: SHE’S ABOUT TO MERK RONAN MALOSI, AS HE IS HELPLESS IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! NO ALISSA, NO RYAN, KELTON SURE AS HELL WILL BE HAPPY TO SEE THIS; RONAN’S HEAD MIGHT AS WELL BE ON A PLATTER FOR KASSIDY HEART! SHE’S GOING TO KILL RONAN!
(Kassidy Heart wrenches back on Ronan Malosi’s head, as he’s practically helpless. The referee grabs Kass by the shoulders but much like last time it does pretty much nothing, and the hold remains locked in.)
Gavin Kirkland: SECURITY! QUICK! SPECIFICALLY HOT WOMEN IN SECURITY OUTFITS! COME STOP THIS TOMFOOLERY, BECAUSE KASSIDY HEART SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS! RONAN MALOSI WAS AN OPPONENT, THIS IS TOO FAR!
Deadprez: WELL, GAVIN… SOME WOULD SAY HE HAD IT COMING! HE KNEW NOT TO POKE THE BEAR AND DID IT ANYWAY, NOW HE’S GETTING MAULED! ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED… BUT WAIT, HERE COMES THERON! HE IS IGNORING WHAT HURRICANE HAWK DEMANDED EARLIER! LOOKING TO SNEAK UP AND PUNT KASSIDY AGAIN!
(But… Kass slips out underneath the bottom rope, having seen Theron come moments prior. Theron came so close to punting her right in the head, that his leg had left the ground, but Kassidy did not make the same mistake twice. She stands on the outside, before picking up her Answers World Title, staring down at Theron Nikolas… whereas, in the background, the camera pans to show none other than Impact on the stage too. Theron turns his head slowly, noticing him, before looking back and forth between the champion and the other challenger…)
Eve: He didn’t come to save Ronan Malosi, he came to send a message, but now he stands in the center of the ring where Ronan’s lifeless body is! Theron stands above him, and poses, as he stares at his future opponents… we are out of time, good night from the Nation’s Capital!
(The camera then pans up the stage, focusing on impact, before turning. With the final shot being Theron Nikolas, Impact, and a seething yet almost maniacal Kassidy Heart all in the same frame; Impact in the foreground and Theron and Kass in the background, Showdown then fades out to darkness, as the show comes to a close just two weeks before Reasonable Doubt.)
