(EAW Intro plays…)
(RECAP–Last week, Saturday Night Showdown emanated from the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, Ohio. The show started off with Kassidy Heart talking about what happened at Reasonable Doubt. She then declared that she will find out who attacked her before announcing herself for the Grand Rampage match. The first match of the night had Hans Grayson defeating Drake Armstrong. Then Kyra Phillips interviews Dominion backstage and they talk about how Dominion is going to be a long term team and they are going to make a statement one way or another and that they will be successful. The next match had Jack Ripley defeating Major Michael Scott Connor. )
(The recap plays on as Roberto De La Rosa is backstage with Kennedy Street asking about another shot at the National Elite Championship and Kennedy suggests that he enters the Grand Rampage to earn a World Title match, to which he agreed. Afterwards, Jack Ripley comes in and wants a shot at becoming World Champion and Kennedy tells him that he is in the Grand Rampage. The next match has Jon Kelton defeating Lexi after Lexi was tripped by Londyn. Then we see the debut of Ashlynn Quinn’s Boujee Bistro with her guest National Elite Champion Veena Adams! Veena says that nobody is going to beat her until Chris Elite comes out and issues a challenge for the National Elite Championship before Veena tries to hit Elite with the belt. Elite goes to hit the Box Office Smash on Veena, but catches Ashlynn instead. Then Ms. Extreme defeats Holly Arrow by disqualification after guest commentator Pandora Paisley attacks Ms. Extreme and leaves both her and Holly Arrow laying.)
(The recap continues as the interrogations begin to find out who attacked Kassidy Heart. Roster members including Lucas Johnson, Lexi, Komatsu Ogawa, and even GM Kennedy Street are interrogated by Richard Tracie P.I. to get information about what went down. Finally, the six person tag between Adam Lucas, Donovan Duke and Alex Myers facing Jake Smith, Impact, and Amir Yusuf to a no contest after the six participants just start brawling. Impact and Adam as well as Jake and Alex brawl throughout the ringside area and crowd. Kelton comes out to help Donovan but ends up turning his back on him and helping attack him before Ms. Extreme comes out and hits everybody with a kendo stick before Kelton leaves Extreme laying before Dominion comes out to make the save. The final shot shows Kennedy Street watching everything go down with a scowl on her face as the recap ends…)
(“Brick Wall” by A Day to Remember starts playing throughout the arena and the crowd immediately starts cheering wildly as they know that another exciting edition of Saturday Night Showdown. This week, Showdown is taking place from the WVU Coliseum in Morganstown, West Virginia. The camera scans across the raucous crowd who are holding all of their colorful, creative, and clever signs either supporting their favorites or making fun of the ones they hate. After a few moments of scanning throughout the entire arena, the camera settles at the commentary table where Deadprez, Eve, and Gavin Kirkland are sitting and more than ready to call all of tonight’s Showdown action.)
Deadprez: WE ARE THREE WEEKS AWAY FROM THE GRAND RAMPAGE EVENT! Ladies and gentlemen, this is SATURDAY! NIGHT! SHOW! We welcome everybody to the most action packed show on Saturday nights. I am Deadprez and alongside Gavin Kirkland and Eve, we will be calling all the exciting action. Are you guys ready for another great edition of Showdown?
Eve: I am always ready. Things are only going to get hotter from now until Grand Rampage. Like tonight, we will be hearing from Dominion and Ms. Extreme about their crusade, especially after what we saw at the end of last week’s show.
Gavin Kirkland: WE WRESTLE!! That is what I love about Showdown among other things. We will also be finding out more participants for the Grand Rampage match. Who is going to throw their hat in the ring for the hopes of getting a World Title match at Pain for Pride!
Eve: Also tonight, Adam Lucas and Kassidy Heart are here as well as Impact. Will they interact? Will this situation escalate? Of course it will, but how much? We might find out tonight.
Deadprez: Also tonight, Richard Tracie P.I. will be here as well. Tonight, he will be continuing his investigation and interrogations to get more information into the case of who attacked Kassidy
Gavin Kirkland: Ladies and Gentlemen… IT’S MATCH TIME!! OH I LOVE WHAT’S COMING UP TONIGHT! Tonight, half of Dominion will be in action as Ryan Joseph Wilson will be taking on the upstart Drake Armstrong. Will Ryan’s experience bring another win Dominion’s way or will Drake pick up the biggest win of his young career? That will be tonight!
Eve: We also have Pandora Paisley in action. Pandora will be taking on Komatsu Ogawa one on one. Of course Pandora will have Amir Yusuf at ringside. Will Ogawa beat the numbers game or will Pandora get another win and bring a smile to Kennedy Street’s face?
Gavin Kirkland: This next match is going to be a treat for the technical wrestling fans. It’s going to be Jack Ripley taking on Donovan Duke in a PURE STYLE RULES MATCH! These two have had a rivalry for quite some time, but who will come out the winner with Pure Rules? That’s later tonight.
Eve: I’ll take this next match Gavin, because I don’t think you will be able to get through it without having a heart attack. It’s tag team action with National Elite Champion Veena Adams teaming with Ashlynn Quin to take on the unlikely duo of Lexi and Hans Grayson. I heard that Chris Elite will be around ringside for that match. Will the Champion and Boujee Princess emerge victorious or will Lexi and Hans use Elite’s presence to take the victory. That will be tonight.
Deadprez: In our main event of the night, we have the other half of Dominion, Xander Payne taking on Jon Kelton. Ryan Joseph Wilson and Londyn Zelaya will be at ringside so who knows what will happen in that match tonight. Finally, we have the official contract signing between Alex Myers and Jake Smith for the Answers World Championship at Grand Rampage. We know how contract signings usually go in EAW, but we will find out how that will go down later tonight. Right now, let’s send it to the ring and the lovely Gina Romano to kick off SHOWDOWN!
(“That Way” by Lil Uzi Vert starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd begins to boo. Pandora walks out first holding the hand of Amir Yusuf, followed by Jon Kelton who is with Londyn. Both couples stop and kiss their respective lovers before they start to make the walk toward the ring.)
Deadprez: We are kicking off Showdown with Jon Kelton who turned his back on everyone that respected him, Amir Yusuf, Pandora Paisley and Londyn Zelaya. They have a lot to say and after the way Showdown ended last week, I am sure that they are not happy.
Eve: Pandora is scheduled to face the very dangerous Komatsu Ogawa tonight and Jon Kelton will be in our main event against Xander Payne, that match will be explosive!
Gavin Kirkland; THE HELLCAT! SHE IS PURRFECT!
Eve: You are so lame, Gavin.
(As the three get to the ring, Gina Romano is standing there with a microphone.)
Gina Romano: Please welcome at this time…. PANDORA PAISLEY! AMIR YUSUF! JON KELTON AND LONDYN ZELAYA!
(The crowd continues to boo as Pandora takes the mic.)
Pandora Paisley: Cut the music!
(The theme abruptly cuts.)
Pandora Paisley: Last week what everyone saw was a man and a woman that stand next to us right now who made the best bloody career making decision of their lives! Jon Kelton and Londyn Zelaya are two of the smartest people in this company, I mean they are always going to be smarter than anyone who thinks they are bigger than the EAW in Ms. Extreme and they are going to always be smarter than some wanker who doesn’t stay informed in Ryan Joseph Wilson. There are a few people here that simply do not get it, they never have nor will they and that to me is sad. Technically I’m still a rookie, been in the EEAW for a combined time of 11 months, not even a bloody year and yet I know more than these so called veterans. Last week Dominion made a huge mistake, mate. They chose the wrong side of the fence and decided that it would be in their best interest to team up with Ms. Extreme? The most overrated and overpromoted hack that this company has ever seen and for what? To [BLEEP] Disney!? That git, Ryan Joseph Wilson was trying to be a Disney villain with Hurricane Hawk was still in charge, get the hell outta of here, flower!
(Amir Yusuf, Jon Kelton and Londyn Zelaya start to laugh, they are all on the same page as Pandora smirks and gives Amir the eye, handing him over the mic.)
Amir Yusuf: I love this woman’s passion so much and it is one of the reasons why we are together and yeah TMZ, you can jot it down, Pandora and Amir are a couple but let’s get right down to business so that we can get a few things straight around here, I didn’t come to Showdown for failure. I don’t care what I was traded for, because Kennedy Street saw value in me, and she KNEW that I would bring value to her. This that you see in the ring, this is real. All we keep hearing is this nonsense that we sold out, that we went against the grain, we don’t understand the scope of the business, if you only knew! What we have done is buy in to a vision, know that we have experienced the real corruption of the EAW and the only woman that stands against it is Kennedy Street! She knows! She understands! But it’s the same story, right? The same people over and over trying to make things better for themselves at the expense of Elitists like Jon and myself. Hell, even when Pandora first started they tried to pigeonhole her too, but NO MORE! Ms. Extreme has finally realized that she no longer has a leg to stand on, that she isn’t the same woman who held the UWC, coddled and spoon fed to the rest of us and now Dominion wants to support this? A bunch of losers is all I see so desperate to stay relevant.
(Pandora smiles and kisses Amir as he then hands the mic over to Londyn.)
Londyn Zelaya: What I’d like right now, West Virginia, you inbred hillbilly neckbeards is to shut the hell up and listen to …. THE….. CHOSEN…… ONE!!!
(The crowd erupts in boos as Jon smiles and takes the mic.)
Jon Kelton: It seems like we took a Wrong Turn.
(All four start to laugh as Jon used the 2001 movie about murderous West Virginia inbreeds as a reference.)
Jon Kelton: Why Jon, Why!? That is all I have been hearing the last few weeks and I’ll be honest, after what happened at Reasonable Doubt, I don’t think any of you will ever understand. I have been busting my ass for the EAW and carried the New Breed Championship to prominence. As a matter of fact, I beat one of the best young wrestlers and minds to do it in Amir Yusuf!
(They both look at each other and fist bump.)
Jon Kelton: And I can tell you right now that this man right here hits harder than most of the so-called stars in the EAW! But let’s get down to business, for the longest time I have been overlooked, Hurricane Hawk pretty much didn’t believe in me and all I have done that no one else has is evolve. That’s it, EVOLVE and up until recently, Kennedy Street started to give me the opportunities but5 I went to her office last week frustrated and I asked her, what do I need to do in order to succeed and be a World Champion and you know what she told me?
(He looks into the camera and smiles.)
Jon Kelton: Be yourself. She was right, I have catered to you idiots for far too long and tried to do what everyone here considers the “right” thing but that falls into interpretations, because the “right” thing for some is the wrong thing for others! I have finally seen the light thanks to Kennedy Street and my new friends in Pandora and Amir. We are actually going to have a date night, the four of us in this incredibly backwards town and state of West Virginia. As for Dominion and Ms. Extreme? Well…. You three just simply fu…..
(Suddenly “They Call Me A God” by NEFFEX starts to play as Jon Kelton looks on with a scowl on his face, Pandora heads to the ropes to intercept but Amir grabs her by the waist whispering in her ear and trying to calm her down. Ms. Extreme walked out, flanked by Ryan Joseph Wilson and Xander Payne. The three of them stand in the entrance way.)
Deadprez: BUSINESS IS ABOUT TO PICK UP HERE!
Eve: Ms. Extreme and Dominion are out here tonight, and they have heard enough!
Gavin Kirkland: Why do they have to ruin everything!
(The fans are erupting in cheers as Ms. Extreme with a mic in hand ready to address the four in the ring.)
Ms. Extreme: Isn’t this cute. Three bitter bitches all standing there trying to advance their careers by kissing the ass of the General Manager. You know, I find that somewhat pathetic in its own context. This is more than Disney, this is about the power they have bestowed upon Kennedy Street and Heidi Huxley, because truth be told, they are the ones that have tried to destroy Showdown this season and if anything, when it comes to a corrupt company like this, we are seeing the makings of what two entities like Disney and the EAW will do to the people who have been here all this time busting their asses to make it. You look at Ryan Joseph Wilson! Xander Payne! We are talking about three individuals who are veterans of this company and you three want to try and play control!? Laughable at best! Pandora, I get you. Brash, eager, wanting to make a name for yourself, in many ways you remind me of a young Ms. Extreme just starting out too, but the difference is you are not ME!
(Pandora’s eyes narrow, but again Amir tries to calm her down.)
Ms. Extreme: And Kennedy can’t protect you much longer because you and I are going face one another when it is all said and done!
(Ryan takes t5he mic as the crowd cheers.)
Ryan Wilson: WE WRESTLE. That has been the tagline for Showdown, even when I was the General Manager and truth is, we don’t wrestle anymore, this is a dumpster fire! Xander is the type of Elitists that likes to do it in the ring, but instead we are subjected to the narcissism of one woman that is trying to destroy our industry, how is that fair!? Yes, we were not successful in gaining the tag team titles, but we were successful in picking a side and making a choice. Right partner?
(Xander cuts in….)
Xander Payne: They are both right. See Jon, Amir, and Pandora, we get it, you three want your flowers and let’s face it, Camille and I have, Ryan will get his but you three are going about it the wrong way. You think that Kennedy is going to get you to the promise land, but the only way to do it is through hard work and dedication. But we have an idea and that is to go ahead and finish what we started last week!
(Xander throws the mic down as the crowd cheers and stands up as the three start heading to the ring when suddenly Kennedy Street shows up on the Tron.)
Kennedy Street: Ahem…. You three can stop right now!
(Dominion and Ms. Extreme stop, they turn toward the Tron where Kennedy stands in her black dinner dress.)
Kennedy Street: We are not going to do this right now, instead some of you have matches tonight, Kennie’s Showdown is NOT going to get jeopardized because of a couple of hot heads. So instead we are going to make sure that you six get everything out of this. See, honey, Pandora, Amir, Jon and Londyn are what Kennie likes to call my “Devolution”. It means a transfer of power to a lower level, and so Kennie is going to give these three individuals the chance to face you three…..
(She pauses for a second.)
Kennedy Street:…. So, it will be Jon Kelton, Amir Yusuf, and Pandora Paisley… the “Devolution” …. And they will take on Ms. Extreme and Dominion in a Trios match….. NO Disqualification…. AT GRAND RAMPAGE!
(The crowd erupts in cheers as Ms. Extreme turns and smiles. Dominion nods while Jon, Amir, Pandora and Londyn are all in the ring satisfied with the announcement.)
Deadprez: Wow! You heard it here and we have a huge Trios match at Grand Rampage and talk about a wild, combustible element!
Eve: Six people who absolutely hate each other, this is going to be a war!
Gavin Kirkland: I can’t wait for Pandora to finally shut up Ms. Extreme!
(All the Elitists start to jaw-jack while Kennedy is still on the screen, officials run out to separate them all, the scene fades to a commercial break.)
( The Saturday Night Showdown returns from a commercial break, with ‘Pride and Arrogance’ by Takeru Kanazaki blaring through the speakers, drawing loud boos from the crowd. Drake Armstrong makes his way to the ring, a look of disdain on his face for the audience in attendance tonight. He shakes his head in disgust as he enters the ring, eager to lay a beatdown on Ryan in their upcoming match. )
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!… INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM SCARSDALE, NEW YORK!…. WEIGHING IN AT 260 POUNDS…… HE IS ‘THE FUTURE’ !…. DRAKEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!… ARMSTRONGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes Kennedy’s Dog that doesn’t deserve the place to live here and being such a disgusting piece of sh-
Eve: Did somebody hurt you today?
Gavin Kirkland: Oh sorry, forgot to turn my burner account down. Anyway! Drake Armstrong has arrived, and he is looking to prove himself tonight against one of the top stars we have here in Showdown, such as Ryan Joseph Wilson. Despite having a losing streak for quite some time now, Drake is determined to achieve something remarkable tonight by defeating Ryan Joseph Wilson!
( Drake enters the ring and quickly removes his entrance gear as ‘The Only Thing They Fear Is You’ by Mick Gordon begins to play, prompting a big cheer from the crowd. Meanwhile, Ryan Wilson makes his way towards the ring with Xander Payne following closely behind him. )
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT!… ACCOMPANIED BY EAW HALL OF FAMER, XANDER PAYNE AND REPRESENTING DOMINION!… FROM MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC, CANADA!… WEIGHING IN AT 220 POUNDS!… HE IS… RYANNNN!…. JOSEPHHHHHHHHHHHHH!………. WILSONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: RJW! RJW! RJW! RJW! RJW! RJW! RJW! RJW! RJW! Hey, did you guys catch what Ryan pulled off this week? He’s making moves to show some love for our brand by giving a shout-out to “WE WRESTLE” in his video!
Eve: Ever since teaming up with Xander Payne, Ryan has undergone a significant transformation in his persona and is seeking to redeem his career that had been previously viewed as a joke. Tonight, Ryan steps into the ring with the goal of imparting a lesson to newcomers such as Drake!
( DING DING DING )
Gavin Kirkland: THE MATCH BETWEEN RYAN AND DRAKE IS UNDERWAY, AND DRAKE WASTES NO TIME BURSTING OUT OF HIS CORNER, IMMEDIATELY ATTACKING RYAN AS SOON AS THE BELL RINGS! THE AGGRESSIVE ASSAULT BEGINS WITH DRAKE LAUNCHING A FLURRY OF STOMPS AIMED AT SLOWING RYAN DOWN RIGHT FROM THE START!
Eve: Ryan is in serious trouble because Drake isn’t playing around. Drake has been losing for quite some time and looks determined to beat one of the top stars on Saturday Night Showdown. Drake picks Ryan up off the ground and tosses him towards the ropes…. RYAN BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES, AND A RUNNING KNEE TAKES DOWN DRAKE!
Deadprez: Drake gets taken down to the ground quickly by a running knee, and now he starts rolling towards the outside to recollect himself. Ryan wastes no time following him to the outside as Drake tries to recover. Ryan runs in and attempts to assault Drake back- DRAKE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, SENDING RYAN CRASHING INTO THE STEEL STEPS!
Gavin Kirkland: Damn! Ryan must be really hurt right there from throwing himself into the steel steps. Ryan tries to pick up the pieces together, but Drake comes faster before grabbing Ryan’s head and slamming the back of it into the steel step real hard!
Eve: Drake doesn’t even let the referee start counting before he sends Ryan back inside the ring, with Xander stepping in and watching her partner closely. Drake is aware of Xander’s approach and turns his attention to him. Drake gives him a quick look, but Xander doesn’t seem to do anything except stare at him. Drake doesn’t worry much about him and rolls back into the ring with Ryan still prone on the ground.
Deadprez: Ryan starts pushing himself off the ground, trying to get back to his feet as soon as possible. But before he can fully stand up, Drake steps in with a hammerfist to the back of Ryan’s neck, forcing him back down to the ground! Drake then picks Ryan up off the ground and sends him into the corner! Ryan’s back crashes into the corner, and Drake quickly follows up by connecting with a stiff lariat at the corner. Drake with a great strategy to Ryan there!
Gavin Kirkland: After taking down Ryan, Drake leaves him stuck in the corner and jogs down to the opposite corner. From there, he looks back toward Ryan, who is still trying to recover….. DRAKE BURSTS OUT OF THE CORNER TO ATTACK RYAN AGAIN BUT RYAN POPS OUT OF THE CORNER… A NOTHERN LIGHT SUPLEX TAKES DOWN DRAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!
Eve: Now, it’s Ryan’s turn to get his payback on Drake. Look at him go! He jumps in and starts delivering blow after blow to Drake’s face. Although Drake tries to fight back, Ryan takes over with a series of repeated right-hand shots. Without wasting any time, Ryan picks Drake up off the ground and sends him towards the ropes. Drake rebounds off the rope…. CATCHING DRAKE AND CRACKING HIS BACK WITH A SIDEWALK SLAM! GREAT MOVE BY RYAN JOSEPH WILSON!
Deadprez: Drake is now becoming the one who is in trouble right here and he has to deal with what comes next from Ryan. Ryan takes the bull by the horns and looks to show Drake that he means business too. Ryan seizes Drake and pulls him off the mat, throws him into the corner this time, and starts following him up…. A HELLUVA KICK CONNECTS, KICKING HIS HEAD IN!
Gavin Kirkland: I am telling you, and ALL OF YOU!… that Ryan is a changed man and he is much more serious than ever when it comes to fighting in the ring against anybody who tries to talk him down and believes that he’s not as good as they say. Ryan has passed his turning point and has shaped himself into the better man he is today. Ryan lifts Drake on his shoulder and puts him in a seated position on the top of the corner. Ryan follows Drake up with both of his feet on the second rope…. TRYING TO GO FOR AN AVALANCHE VERTICAL SUPLEX THERE!
Eve: Drake isn’t thinking and he’s trying to fight Ryan back there! Ryan is trying to resist him to get out of the position, but Drake keeps hitting him with a right hand into Ryan’s gut repeatedly. Ryan is becoming much weaker with each jab that connects to his gut!…. DRAKE SEIZING RYAN AND TAKING HIM OFF THE SECOND WITH AVALANCHE URAGANE SLAM!
Deadprez: TRANSITIONING INTO AN ARMBAR ONCE HE TOOK RYAN DOWN WITH IT! WHAT A COMBINATION BY THE FUTURE HIMSELF! Ryan is now in trouble with Drake taking control and gaining the advantage off the armbar that he’s applying for right now. Ryan is groaning out loud in pain due to the pressure of the submission hold, while Xander is watching him closely and trying to yell at him, making sure that his friend is doing okay in this match and not becoming the embarrassment of his team!
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan is showing that he’s not here to be disappointed by anyone and is trying to make sure that he can fight Drake back. Drake is trying to snap his arm in half, while Ryan is trying to reach the bottom rope that isn’t too far away from him. Ryan is feeling the agony and is striving to make his way to the bottom rope!
Eve: Drake sees that Ryan is trying to refuse to tap and fight him back, and now leans his back, stretches Ryan’s arm out more, and puts more pressure into the move itself! The situation becomes much worse for Ryan here!
Deadprez: Ryan’s hand is positioned very close to the bottom rope, indicating that he still has a chance to escape soon. Although Drake is attempting to make Ryan submit with his current move, There is still a light at the end of the tunnel for Ryan!….
Gavin Kirkland: RYAN’S HAND REACHES THE BOTTOM ROPE! RYAN SURVIVES! Drake doesn’t seem to be very proud of Ryan there because he intends for Ryan to tap out, not simply reach the bottom rope but Ryan is a bad listener and manages to somehow survive, prolonging the match between these two! Drake rises from the ground and begins to pull Ryan up by his hair to his feet-
Eve: RYAN WITH A SCHOOL-BOY ROLL UP! HE’S GOING TO TRY AND STEAL IT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
…..
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE KICKS OUT JUST IN TIME!
Deadprez: Both men stand up and charge at each other. Ryan charges into Drake’s elbow smash, which stops him in his tracks. Drake takes a few steps backward towards the ropes and prepares for a huge lariat. Ryan narrowly avoids getting hit by ducking under the attack and quickly runs towards the ropes, bouncing off them and going for A HANDSPRING CUTTER! LETHAL INJECTION!
Eve: Drake sidesteps and decides to run towards the ropes instead. Ryan lands on both knees and looks up just as Drake charges towards him with a High Knee aimed at his jaw. Ryan manages to catch Drake’s knee and uses his momentum to throw him towards the ropes behind him. As Drake bounces off the ropes, Ryan quickly takes him down with A SPINNING HEEL KICK!
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan gets back to his feet as soon as possible and drags Drake over to the corner with him. Ryan lays Drake down on the ground and positions himself facing the corner…… LEAPING OFF THE GROUND, HOPPING OFF THE ROPE AND CONNECTING DRAKE WITH A SPLIT-LEGGED MOONSAULT!
Deadprez: Ryan rolls off the ground and shows that he’s not going for a pin just yet, knowing deep down that his previous move isn’t enough to put Drake away for good. Drake is still in serious trouble after being hit with two consecutive moves by Ryan. Ryan picks himself up from the ground and charges towards Drake, preparing for his next move. Drake holds his abdomen in pain and tries to get back on his feet as soon as possible. He manages to stand up and turns his attention towards Ryan, who is already waiting for him.
Eve: ‘SUPERMAN PUNCH 2.0’ -… ?
Gavin Kirkland: Drake suddenly down to his knees! What the hell is he doing here?
Drake Armstrong: (Off-Mic) I’M HURT! THIS IS A SERIOUS ONE! I COULDN’T EVEN STAND ON BOTH FEET, GIVE ME A BREAK!
Referee: (Off-Mic) What.
Drake Armstrong: (Off-Mic) I SAID I’M HURT! ARE YOU (CENSORED) DEAF?
Gavin Kirkland: It’s unclear what exactly is happening with Drake at the moment, but it appears that he may be hurt and in need of medical attention. Ryan doesn’t seem to be too concerned and approaches Drake to see what’s going on. The situation is quite… NO WAIT! DRAKE QUICKLY PULLS RYAN IN AND GOES FOR A ROLL-UP! IT’S A TRAP, IT’S A TRAP!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
…..
THRE-
Eve: RYAN KICKS OUT AT THE NICK OF TIME! Both men get back to their feet at the same time again and Ryan is attempting to hit ‘SUPERMAN PUNCH 2.0’ again but, Drake catches him once again and underhooks both of Ryan’s arms… A DRAGON SUPLEX TAKES OUT RYAN JOSEPH WILSON!
Deadprez: Ryan finds himself in danger once again and he starts holding the back of his head while attempting to reach both of his feet. Drake, keeping his eyes fixed on Ryan, charges towards him in an attempt to reach both of his feet as well. HE RUNS TOWARDS RYAN AND UNLEASHES ‘HALBERD FROM HELL’! A RUNNING DROPKICK STRAIGHT TO RYAN’S ABDOMEN COULD POTENTIALLY FINISH HIM OFF RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE RUNS INTO AN ENZUIGIRI BY RYAN! Ryan quickly pops up onto both feet as soon as possible, and then grabs Drake onto his shoulder….. HE CHARGES FORWARD, LOOKING TO PLANT A RUNNING POWERSLAM ON DRAKE!
Eve: Drake slips behind Ryan and manages to evade his attack. Without wasting any time, Drake seizes the opportunity and grabs Ryan from behind, attempting to toss him over his head with a German Suplex!
Deadprez: Ryan manages to halt Drake’s attack with a swift back elbow, but he’s not done yet! He attempts to break free from Drake’s grip and repeatedly strikes him with an elbow across the face. Ryan is determined to make the last one count, putting all his strength into it as he aims for Drake’s face with the final one!-
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE DUCKS UNDER AND CATCHES RYAN… INTO A URANAGE SLAM! Ryan refuses to go down that easily, and he manages to land both of his feet on the side of Drake. Drake turns his attention towards Ryan and is caught off guard by Ryan’s quick movement and is hit with a knee to the gut, causing him to double over in pain as Ryan seizes the opportunity…. ‘LA BOMBE BLEU’ WITH FULL IMPACT! RYAN HITS THE BLUE THUNDER BOMB ON DRAKE AND NOW GOES FOR A COVER! WOULD THIS BE IT????
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
…..
THREE!-
…
Eve: DRAKE LIFTS HIS SHOULDER OFF THE MAT JUST IN TIME! HE KICKS OUT! HE SURVIVES THE COUNT OF THREE! Ryan appears to be quite frustrated, but he begins to hype himself up, feeling more excited than ever before. He senses the opportunity to win the match right here, and he’s not about to let it slip away. Without wasting any time, Ryan picks Drake up off the ground and gets him back to his feet, setting things up for his next move. The crowd is on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating what Ryan is about to do next!
Deadprez: ‘MIC DROP’ !!!!!!!!!! A SMALL PACKAGE DRIVER-
Gavin Kirkland: Drake struggles! Drake attempts to fight his way out of Ryan’s grip by striking him repeatedly with his right hand. Despite Ryan’s efforts to resist the punches, Drake’s blows land quickly and forcefully, connecting with Ryan’s gut with each hit. Ryan begins to feel the pain and weakness spreading throughout his body. He falls to both knees, and Drake takes a chance to relentlessly rain down his right fist across Ryan’s face, aiming to incapacitate him completely.
Eve: Ryan is down, and Drake gains the upper hand this time. He shakes his head, trying to regain some consciousness and heads towards the ropes behind him. DRAKE BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AND CHARGES TOWARDS RYAN, LOOKING TO EXECUTE ‘HALBERD FROM HELL’ ONCE AGAIN!
Deadprez: NORTHERN LARIAT TURNING DRAKE INSIDE OUT! WHAT A POWER BY RYAN! Ryan comes back with a heat there and he is going to make sure that he cooks in the kitchen right here in front of Drake, who can’t even handle the heat and deserves to be out of the place! Ryan picks Drake off the ground again and tries to GO FOR ‘MIC DROP’ ONCE AGAIN! HE SEIZES HIM IN AND IS READY FOR IT!
Gavin Kirkland: Drake is still trying to fight back against Ryan to get his way out! Drake doesn’t want to disappoint Kennedy here and is trying to make sure that he doesn’t finish his job like that! Drake tries to wiggle out of the hold, but Ryan starts letting him go and hammers him on repeat with both hands! The crowd goes absolutely ballistic for Ryan here as his energy runs out of the stamina bar! Drake is down again and now Ryan picks him up….
Eve: ‘MIC DROP’ !!!!!!! A SMALL PACKAGE DRIVER DRIVES DRAKE TO THE GROUND!
Deadprez: DRAKE SLIPS OUT WHILE HE’S BEING LIFTED UP HIGH INTO THE AIR AND LANDS BOTH FEET BEHIND RYAN! HE QUICKLY SEIZES RYAN WITH BOTH ARMS… A BRIDGING HALF-NELSON HALF-CHICKENWING SUPLEX!!!!! ‘NATURAL TALENT’ CONNECTS! RYAN IS DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: Drake quickly goes for Ryan’s leg and now… ‘WILL KILLER’ !!!!! A SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRAB APPLIES! RYAN IS IN TROUBLE HERE! THIS IS THE MOVE THAT COULD MAKE RYAN TAP OUT! DRAKE IS ABOUT TO BEAT ANOTHER FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! DRAKE GOES ALL OUT WITH THAT MOVE, TRYING TO GET RYAN TO QUIT!
Eve: RYAN ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE SOMEHOW AND IS STILL TRYING TO FIGHT BACK! HE SHAKES HIS HEAD EVEN THOUGH HIS FACE IS CONTORTED WITH PAIN! RYAN TRIES TO CRAWL TOWARDS THE BOTTOM ROPE TO REACH IT, BUT DRAKE PULLS OUT EVERYTHING TO MAKE RYAN TAP RIGHT THERE! RYAN IS SUFFERING RIGHT NOW, BUT HE TRIES TO RESIST AND MAKE HIS WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM ROPE!
Deadprez: Ryan… HE REACHES THE BOTTOM ROPE! HE DOES IT BUT DRAKE DOESN’T STOP! HE STILL TRIES TO HURT RYAN THERE AND THE REFEREE TRIES TO GET HIM OUT OF THERE! DRAKE KEEPS TORTURING AND IGNORES THE REFEREE COMPLETELY!
Gavin Kirkland: THE REFEREE’S WORDS FALL ON DEAF EARS, AND THE REFEREE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO CALL FOR THE BELL! RYAN WINS BY DISQUALIFICATION, BUT DRAKE IS STILL NOT GOING ANYWHERE!
( DING DING DING! )
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION!…. RYAN JOSEPH WILSON-
Eve: XANDER SLIDES INTO THE RING AND SAVES HIS PARTNER WITH A SUPERKICK TO DRAKE’S JAW! Drake lets Ryan go, and now Xander picks him off the ground and tosses him down to the ropes…. ‘LAST SEDATIO-
( Drake catches the ropes as his back touches against them before quickly snatching the middle and throwing himself to the outside, walking away from Xander with a big smile on his face. Xander keeps his eyes on Drake before shaking his head and taking care of Ryan, who is prone in the middle of the ring and holding down his leg in pain then ‘The Only Thing They Fear Is You’ by Mick Gordon begins playing. )
Gavin Kirkland: What a match and ending, ladies and gentlemen! These two went crazy out here tonight and put on a great show for us! Somehow, the winner is still Ryan Joseph Wilson, but what a great showdown by these two!
(The final shot displays Drake turning back around and smiling at both Xander and Ryan before cutting to the backstage, where we can see Kennedy watching the match with happiness in her room as the scene fades to a commercial break. )
(We cut to Kennedy’s office, where at the moment it is total and utter bedlam. Hans Grayson, Donovan Duke, Lexi, Chris Elite, The Major and Kennie’s favorite pet Drake Armstrong who just wrestled and is still in his gear, they are all arguing with each other, all demanding to know what is next, and trying to prove that they are more deserving than anyone else.)
Chris Elite: Look, you all know I am what is best for business. Sure, I’ve had a few defeats, but I’m a bigger name than all of you.
Lexi: Bigger ego you mean.
Hans Grayson: I get that, but I have been taking out the entire field, and it’s time for me to take the next step.
(Right now, Kennedy is only taking on a watching brief, Drake Armstrong stood behind her, rubbing her shoulders obediently.)
Harley Lewis: HAHAHAHAHA…
(Everyone stops what they are doing to take in the almost demonic cackle.)
Harley Lewis: If there is anyone who should know what is next, it is me. Since I embraced this insanity, I have been unstoppable.
Kennedy Street: … and suspended for beating up an official, honey but it ends next week.
Chris Elite: I didn’t realize being unstoppable was making a fool out of yourself every week.
Donovan Duke: Bit like you Chris?
Chris Elite: If I weren’t so busy trying to get my title shot, you’d regret that Duke.
Donovan Duke: I don’t think so…
Major Michael Scott Connor: Listen to you all, squabbling like turkeys. If you were all in the Corps, you wouldn’t last five minutes. And look at you Drake Armstrong, degrading yourself like… well, I cannot think of an adequate word.
Drake Armstrong: I don’t see this as degrading myself when I have been promised rich rewards. And anyway… It’s not like it’s a hard life is it? Look at how beautiful she is!
(Kennedy nods, happy with her servant, at least for now.)
Chris Elite: Look Kennedy, I don’t have time for this. I know you want to protect your little plaything Veena Adams, but you know full well that I am deserving of a shot at that National Elite Championship.
(Kennedy is about to open her mouth, but is rudely interrupted, something that doesn’t go unnoticed.)
Major Michael Scott Connor: You deserve nothing. I have never seen someone fall through the ranks as quickly as you. It is I who deserves to know what comes next and who will be the latest to fall at my feet.
(Again, Kennedy opens her mouth, but again she doesn’t get the words out.)
Lexi: No, it is time that Lexi made her mark on this company. Now that I have the look, and the attitude, success is only a moment away once you tell me what is next, Kennedy.
Kennedy Street: Firing you?
(Lexi scoffs at that idea.)
Hans Grayson: Fair comment, but I have always had the attitude, and the talent. I’ve been in that ring with the very best, and have only narrowly been defeated every time. I should be the one who is granted your attention.
Harley Lewis: Listen to you all. Feeble idiots, with feeble minds, that simply do not understand what you need to do to get ahead. Ms. Street, look into my eyes, she is the devil burning within. There, you will see all the answers that you need to understand that I, Harley Lewis, should be next in line for whatever you have in mind. I will not pander like these fools, I shall take my place deservedly.
Donovan Duke: And Yet, I have done more than every single one of you. Achieved more than every single one of you. Kennedy, I know we have had our problems in the past, but you know that I am one step away from the greatest. Tell ME what is next, and ignore these pretenders.
Drake Armstrong: I’ll just keep rubbing yes Kennedy…
(Kennedy’s attention is taken away from the crowd for a moment, and she nods gratefully towards Drake.)
Drake Armstrong: And I will be rewarded?
Kennedy Street: Of course Honey
Major Michael Scott Connor: I should…
Donovan Duke: It should be me…
Lexi: It’s time that I…
Hans Grayson: Just one chance…
Harley Lewis: Pathetic idiots…
Drake Lewis: Is that nice Kennedy…
Kennedy Street: QUUUUUUIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!
(Finally, and perhaps after longer than anyone could have thought, Kennedy snaps. The room immediately went silent. Only Harley Lewis wears a smirk, the others all looking wide-eyed.)
Kennedy Street: Thank you… you were all giving Kennie a migraine Honey. And a grouchy Kennie is not good for business.
Drake Armstrong: I’m sorry.
Kennedy Street: Keep rubbing Honey.
(Drake does as he is told and moves the position of his body slightly so that he is behind Kennedy’s chair, to hide his excitement.)
Kennedy Street: OK, Chris… you are right. Kennedy does see you as a major player in this company and although yes, you have failed to claim the Answers World Championship, you do need to find who you once were. So yes… you will receive a shot at the National Elite Championship at Super Showdown in two weeks’ time.
Chris Elite: Thank you, you won’t regret it.
Kennedy Street: Make sure that I don’t. And the rest of you… fine. I was going to wait a little while, but you are ALL in the Grand Rampage. You want to know what is next, well there you have it. You decide what is next by winning that match.
Donovan Duke: That’s fine with me.
Harley Lewis: Absolute carnage… sounds like my kind of deal
Lexi: Thank you, I won’t let you down Ms. Street
Major Michael Scott Connor: I’ll show every single person just what it takes to become a Major in the Corps.
Hans Grayson: A chance to beat the odds again… not a problem.
Drake Armstrong: This include me
Kennedy Street (whispering): We’ll sort you out a good number, don’t worry.
(As they all go to leave, Kennedy rubbing her temples, she calls out to one of them.)
Kennedy Street: MAJOR? Honey…
(Major Michael Scott Connor turns on his heels as if on parade.)
Major Michael Scott Connor: Yes Ma’am.
Kennedy Street: Just so you know, it won’t just be the Grand rampage for you. You will also be getting a New Breed Championship match at a time of my choosing.
Major Michael Scott Connor: Thank you Ma’am
(He stands there for a moment, an awkward silence ensuing.)
Kennedy Street: Err… dismissed
Major Michael Scott Connor: Thank you Ma’am.
(Major Michael Scott Connor stomps out the room, Kennedy nodding her head.)
Kennedy Street: When Kennie is good, Kennie is amazing, don’t you think Honey?
Drake Armstrong: I do.
Kennedy Street: You did great out there tonight, taugh that ingrate Ryan Wilson a lesson, don;t worry about the DQ loss, you;re a winner in my book. Right?
Drake Armstrong: Yes.
Kennedy Street: Good, now rub my temples Honey
(Drake gets into position, taking care to hide what has now become very noticeable, as the scene fades.)
(The camera cuts back to the ringside area as Gina Romano is seen standing with a bright smile on her face and a microphone in her hand.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Just Stop’ by Disturbed is heard blasting through the speakers to a thunder of boos growing to a boiling point from the crowd as Pandora Paisley is seen making her way out to the stage with none other than her partner, Amir Yusuf by her side. The due look at each other smiling before nodding, as Pandora walks her way down to the ring followed by Amir, who, once Pandora rolls in the ring, stands by her at ringside watching this contest which is about to start.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST… ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY AMIR YUSUF… FROM BLACKPOOL ENGLAND… WEIGHING IN AT 126 POUNDS… ‘THE HELLCAT…’ PAAANDOOORAAAA PAAAAISSSLEEEYYYYY!!!!
Deadprez: Here she is! Pandora Paisley has arrived, and she looks more ready than ever! A couple of weeks ago Pandora Paisley made her in-ring return against the former stalemate of her opponent tonight, and she was successfully able to win her return match to the blue brand! And as we have seen the past few weeks, things have been heating up between her and Ms. Extreme to a boiling point, especially considering what happened just last week, and while that may be an affecting factor when it comes to the result of her match here tonight, it’s easy to tell that she looks more than prepared!
(As Pandora is in the ring waiting for her opponent in confidence, ‘My Way Of Life’ by Frank Sinatra is heard replacing ‘Just Stop’ as the crowd’s emotions don’t shift in the slightest in reaction to Komatsu Ogawa making his way out to the stage. Komatsu taunts the audience as the boos get higher, before starting to make his way down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT… FROM TOKYO, JAPAN… WEIGHING IN AT 258 POUNDS… ‘DRUNKEN HEEL KING…’ KOOOMAAAATSUUUUU OOOOGAAAAAWAAAAAA!!!!!
Deadprez: Even though things haven’t been the best for Komatsu Ogawa ever since his return to Elite Answers Wrestling, it’s easy to tell that he never lost faith in the process in the process and most importantly in himself, seeing that he’s been giving star-making performances against the likes of Xander Payne and Harper Lee, and tonight it’s obvious that what’s about to come his way is a match that means much to him considering who his opponent beat in her return match just a couple of weeks ago and what a victory over her would do for his career, especially considering the slump he’s been on as of late. And we’re about to get started nonetheless, the ref calls for the bell!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: HERE WE GO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS CONTEST PANDORA PAISLEY AND KOMATSU OGAWA IS NOW OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY, AND THE MATCH STARTS! As we can see right here, Pandora Paisley is seen slowly circling around the ring and trying to figure out a way to take down Komatsu Ogawa, he’s too big! And now Pandora finally applies a headlock, BUT HE IMMEDIATELY PUSHES HER RIGHT DOWN AS PANDORA FALLS ALL THE WAY DOWN IN SHOCK! BUT OGAWA HOWEVER DOESN’T GIVE HER ANY TIME TO RECOVER LET ALONE STAND UP, NAILING HER WITH A SENTON! THE SENTON TO THE GROUNDED PANDORA PAISLEY!
Eve: That doesn’t seem to be all as Komatsu quickly stands back up on his feet, grabbing Pandora as he picks her back up to her feet as well, before quickly lifting her up on his shoulders, AND DROPPING HER BACK DOWN WITH THE VERTICAL SUPLEX, BUT DROPPED INTO A DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER! WHAT A MANEUVER BY KOMATSU OGAWA! THAT WAS BRILLIANT! THE VERTICAL SUPLEX DROPPED INTO A DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER AND PANDORA PAISLEY IS DOWN! KOMATSU OGAWA TAKES THIS AS HIS CHANCE AS HE QUICKLY STANDS BACK UP ON HIS FEET, BEFORE JUMPING DOWN ON PAISLEY WITH THE BODY SPLASH! OGAWA INTO THE COVER!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: HAHAHA, AS EXPECTED! PANDORA PAISLEY WITH THE INSTANT KICK OUT! THE SHOULDER UP BY PANDORA PAISLEY AND KOMATSU OGAWA IS CAUGHT BY A LITTLE BIT OF SURPRISE! BUT THAT DOESN’T MATTER, WHAT MATTERS IS THAT PANDORA STAYS ALIVE! KOMATSU OGAWA NOW PICKS PANDORA PAISLEY BACK UP TO HER FEET, BEFORE DRAGGING HER TOWARDS THE CORNER, AND… PLACING HER ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE IN A SEATED POSITION! WHAT COULD OGAWA BE LOOKING FOR AT THIS POINT? KOMATSU GETS ON THE SECOND ROPE TRYING TO LIFT UP PANDORA, PROBABLY GOING FOR A SUPERPLEX! BUT PANDORA IS REVERSING, SHE’S FIGHTING HER WAY OUT OF IT!
Deadprez: WILL IT EVENTUALLY WORK THOUGH? WHICH ONE WILL BE ABLE TO DO WHAT THEY HAVE IN MIND? KOMATSU OGAWA IS TRYING TO TAKE DOWN PANDORA PAISLEY WITH THE SUPERPLEX, BUT PANDORA WITH THE CONTINUOUS STRIKES RIGHT INTO THE RIBS! KOMATSU OGAWA IS HELPLESS RIGHT NOW, KOMATSU OGAWA STARTS SLOWLY LETTING GO AS HE FALLS DOWN INTO THE CANVAS ON WOBBLY FEET! PANDORA PAISLEY IS UP THERE ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, WHICH SHE NOW GETS TO STAND ON! THIS IS PANDORA’S CHANCE, THIS IS HER SHOT! PANDORA PAISLEY STARTS BALANCING HERSELF, BEFORE DIVING ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO KOMATSU OGAWA, AND NAILING HIM WITH A DIVING HURRICANRANA!!! DIVING HURRICANRANA BY PANDORA PAISLEY!! PANDORA PAISLEY WITH THE DIVING HURRICANRANA TO KOMATSU OGAWA!! WHAT A MANEUVER BY THE HELLCAT!
Eve: BUT SHE ISN’T DONE JUST YET, PANDORA PAISLEY APPARENTLY IS NOT DONE JUST YET AND THAT IS BAD NEWS FOR OGAWA! PANDORA PAISLEY STANDS BACK UP ON HER FEET SMIRKING AS SHE GRABS KOMATSU, PICKING HIM RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AND NAILING HIS HUGE ABDOMEN AREA WITH A POWERFUL KICK RIGHT TO THE GUT KEEPING HIM IN A LACK OF BALANCE! SAFE TO SAY THAT KOMATSU OGAWA IS NOW BARELY STANDING ON HIS FEET, WHICH GIVES PANDORA THE CHANCE TO TAKE HER SHOT AS SHE LIFTS GIM UP, AND DROPS HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH THE PUMPHANDLE FRONT SLAM! HOW IN THE BLUE HECK WAS SHE ABLE TO LIFT A MAN OF KOMATSU OGAWA’S SIZE UP LIKE THAT? NONETHELESS, WHAT A MANEUVER! THAT WAS BRILLIANT BY PANDORA PAISLEY, WHO NOW ROLLS OGAWA ONTO HIS BACK, AND GOES FOR THE COVER! THE COVER ON KOMATSU OGAWA!!! PANDORA PAISLEY WITH THE COVER!!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Gavin Kirkland: WITH AUTHORITY, WITH POWER, KOMATSU OGAWA IS POWERFULLY ABLE TO PUSH PANDORA PAISLEY OFF OF HIMSELF! PANDORA PAISLEY SMIRKS EVEN THOUGH SURPRISED A BIT, BUT ONE THING SHE KNOWS IS THAT SHE HAS BEEN GETTING THE BEST OF HIM FOR A GOOD BIT NOW, AND SHE’S LOOKING TO KEEP IT GOING! PANDORA GRABS KOMATSU AS SHE PICKS HIM RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET, BEFORE IRISH WHIPPING HIM INTO THE CORNER! KOMATSU OGAWA IS TRAPPED AGAINST THE CORNER RIGHT NOW, WHICH GIVES PANDORA THE CHANCE TO STAY IN FULL CONTROL OVER THIS MATCH AS SHE QUICKLY RUNS INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER, CHARGING AT OGAWA, WHO SHE RUNS BACK AT…
Deadprez: AND CONNECTS WITH THE HELLUVA KICK!!! THE HELLUVA KICK BY PANDORA PAISLEY TAKES THIS MAN’S HEAD OFF!!! THE HELLUVA KICK CONNECTS, AND THAT IS ONE OF HER PARTNER, AMIR YUSUF’S SIGNATURE MOVES! PANDORA LOOKS AT THE RINGSIDE AREA WITH A SMIRK ON HER FACE AS HER EYES CATCH NONE OTHER THAN AMIR, WHO LOOKS BACK AT HER WITH A SMIRK ON HIS OWN FACE AS WELL WHILST CHERRING HER ON AND CONTINUING TO SUPPORT HER! WHAT A MANEUVER BY PANDORA PAISLEY!!!
Amir Yusuf: (off-mic) :drakelike:
Eve: As Komatsu Ogawa is still down, we can see Pandora Paisley doing her best to keep him in that state, AS SHE NAILS HIM WITH THE STOMP STRAIGHT INTO THE CHEST! KOMATSU OGAWA MUST BE IN PAIN RIGHT NOW! And now Pandora looks to finish this off by the look of things as she rolls out into the ring apron, before starting to climb her way up to the top turnbuckle, which she reaches, and now she’s trying to balance herself while at the same time charging at the grounded Komatsu Ogawa. He isn’t moving though, BUT THAT HOWEVER KEEPS THINGS SMOOTHER THAN THEY COULD EVER GET FOR PANDORA PAISLEY, AS SHE TAKES HER SHOT DIVING OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE HIGH IN THE AIR, AND CONNECTING WITH THE DIVING MOONSAULT!!! THE DIVING MOONSAULT CONNECTS BY PANDORA–
Gavin Kirkland: OHH, KNEES UP BY KOMATSU OGAWA! KOMATSU OGAWA GETS THOSE KNEES UP WHICH PANDORA GOES CRASHING RIGHT INTO, THAT WAS UNEXPECTED FROM KOMATSU AND FOR PANDORA! WHAT A REVERSAL BY KOMATSU OGAWA, WHO SHOOTS BACK UP TO HIS FEET, GRABBING HER AND PICKING HER RIGHT BACK UP TO HER FEET, BEFORE INSTANTLY LIFTING HER UP, AND DROPPING HER RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH THE TSUNAMI!!!!! GODDAMN!!! THAT WAS A AN AMAZING MANEUVER!! TSUNAMI!! TSUNAMI BY KOMATSU OGAWA!!! THE SPINNING CHOKESLAM CONNECTS AND MOST PROBABLY CRACKS THE SPINE OF PANDORA PAISLEY!!! WHAT A MANEUVER BY KOMATSU OGAWA!! KOMATSU DROPS DOWN AND GOES FOR THE COVER HOOKING THE LEG OF PAISLEY!! THE COVER!! THE COVER BY KOMATSU OGAWA!!!!!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: KICK OUT! KICK OUT BY PANDORA PAISLEY! PANDORA PAISLEY FORCES THE SHOULDER UP FROM THE MAT, CLEARLY FAR FROM ENOUGH TO ALLOW OGAWA TO PICK UP A VICTORY THAT WOULD PROVIDE HIM WITH A WHOLE LOT OF MOMENTUM! PANDORA PAISLEY STAYS ALIVE, AND THE MATCH IS NOT OVER YET! KOMATSU OGAWA GRABS PANDORA AS HE PICKS HER RIGHT BACK UP TO HER FEET, BEFORE TOSSING HER OUT OF THE RING INTO THE RINGSIDE OVER THE ROPES— BUT PANDORA WITH THE COUNTER; PANDORA REVERSES, TOSSING HIM OVER THE ROPES HERSELF AS OGAWA GOES OVER THE ROPES, BUT SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, JUST BARELY STANDING ON HIS FEET!
Eve: THAT HOWEVER GIVES PANDORA AN OPPORTUNITY TO REGAIN FULL CONTROL OVER THIS MATCHUP, AS SHE QUICKLY RUNS OFF THE ROPES REBOUNDING, AND RUNS TOWARDS OGAWA IN FULL SPEED, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE SUICIDE DIVE!!! SUICIDE DIVE BY PANDORA PAISLEY! THE SUICIDE DIVE! WHAT A MANEUVER BY PAISLEY! THE SUICIDE DIV– DOES NOT CONNECT! KOMATSU OGAWA IS ABLE TO CATCH PANDORA IN MID AIR WITH THE BIG BOOT AS SHE FALLS INTO THE APRON! WHAT A CATCH BY KOMATSU OGAWA! WHAT A REVERSAL! WHAT A COUNTER!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Gavin Kirkland: NOW KOMATSU OGAWA LOOKS TO CAPITALIZE ON HIS OWN REVERSAL AS HE NOW LIFTS PANDORA PAISLEY UP ON HIS SHOULDERS FROM THE APRON, WHAT COULD KOMATSU BE LOOKING FOR? OHHHH, AND THE POWERBOMB INTO THE APRON!!! OUCH!!! WHAT A MANEUVER BY KOMATSU OGAWA!!! THE POWERBOMB INTO THE APRON!!! PANDORA’S SPINE HIT THE APRON STRAIGHT AND THEN FELL RIGHT OFF!! THE APRON POWERBOMB CONNECTS!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
Deadprez: IS THAT ALL? WILL IT JUST STOP THERE? I’M SURE THAT PANDORA WOULD LOVE FOR THE ANSWER TO BE A NO, BUT THAT ISN’T THE CASE AS LONG AS KOMATSU OGAWA IS HERE AND IS LOOKING TO WIN! KOMATSU OGAWA GRABS PANDORA AS HE PICKS HER RIGHT BACK UP TO HER FEET FROM THE FLOOR, BEFORE TOSSING HER INTO THE BARRICADE!!! PANDORA PAISLEY GOES INTO THE BARRICADE SHOULDER FIRST, BUT OGAWA IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWS THAT UP TOSSING HER INTO THE STEEL STEPS!!! OUCH!! THAT MUST’VE HURT!! NOW KOMATSU QUICKLY DRAGS PANDORA TOWARDS THE ANNOUNCER’S TABLE – HOPEFULLY HE’S NOT GOING FOR WHAT I THINK HE MIGHT BE GOING FOR – AS HE KICKS HER IN THE GUT BEFORE LIFTING HER UP ON HIS SHOULDERS, BEFORE NAILING HER WITH A POWERBOMB THROUGH OUR TABLE!!!!!! THROUGH THE TABLE!!!!!! THROUGH THE TABLE!!! WHAT A MANEUVER BY KOMATSU OGAWA—
Eve: HURRICANRANAAAAAAAAAA!!!! REVERSAL BY PANDORA PAISLEY!!! THE HURRICANRANA REVERSAL BY PANDORA PAISLEY SENDS KOMATSU OGAWA GOING RIGHT THROUGH THE ANNOUNCER’S TABLE!!! WHAT A MANEUVER BY PANDORA PAISLEY!!! WHAT A REVERSAL! WHAT A COUNTER! THE HURRICANRANA REVERSAL SENDS KOMATSU OGAWA GOING RIGHT THROUGH OUR TABLE AND BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN!
Crowd: HOLY SH##! HOLY SH##! HOLY SH##! HOLY SH##!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!
NINE!
Gavin Kirkland: FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PANDORA PAISLEY IS THE ONE ABLE TO RECOVER FIRST AS SHE GRABS OGAWA, ROLLING HIM BACK INSIDE THE RING JUST BARELY, BEFORE ROLLING BACK IN HERSELF! BOTH INDIVIDUALS ARE NOW GROUNDED INSIDE THE RING BUT PANDORA PAISLEY IS ABLE TO STAND BACK UP FIRST, AS SHE GRABS KOMATSU PICKING HIM RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET— BUT HE SUDDENLY LIFTS HER UP IN THE POSITION FOR A POWERSLAM! BUT PANDORA LANDS BEHIND HIM AS HE TURNS AROUND SMARTLY TAKING HER DOWN WITH A POWERFUL LARIAT, BUT PANDORA DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AS KOMATSU OGAWA TURNS AROUND, JUST TO BE MET WITH THE ‘WTH!!!!’ ‘WTH!!!’ ‘WTH’ BY PANDORA PAISLEY!!!!!! WHAT A MANEUVER BY PANDORA PAISLEY!!! WHAT A MANEUVER!! THE RIGHT HOOK CONNECTS AND KNOCKS KOMATSU OGAWA RIGHT DOWN!!!! PANDORA DRPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!!! THE COVER BY PAISLEY!!!

PANDORA IS IN SHOCK, AND SO IS AMIR, AND THE SAME GOES FOR LITERALLY EVERYONE IN THE ARENA! HOW WAS KOMATSU OGAWA JUST ABLE TO SURVIVE THAT? THIS IS SURREAL! BUT HOWEVER PANDORA IS NOW SEEN TRYING TO BRING AN END TO THIS MATCH WHATSOEVER AS SHE GRABS KOMATSU, PICKING HIM BACK UP TO HIS FEET—

PANDORA LIVES :blessed:!!!! KOMATSU OGAWA IS IN SHOCK MEANWHILE AMIR YUSUF IS SEEN JUMPING IN HAPPINESS AT RINGSIDE, CLEARLY PLEASED WITH WHAT JUST TRANSPIRED! KOMATSU HOWEVER, ALTHOUGH SURPRISED IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORLD, GRABS PANDORA PAISLEY PULLING HER BACK UP TO HER FEET, AS HE—
Deadprez: OH, PANDORA PAISLEY WITH A FOREARM SMASH ACROSS THE FACE OF OGAWA WHICH NOT ONLY IMBALANCES HIM, BUT FORCEFULLY SENDS HIM REBOUNDING OFF THE ROPES AS PANDORA GOES OFF THE OPPOSITE ROPES REBOUNDING AS WELL IN FULL SPEED, I KNOW WHAT MIGHT MOST DEFINITELY BE THE NEXT STEP…

TTTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Just Stop’ blasts through the speakers once again to nothing but a rain of boos pouring down from the audience on Pandora Paisley, who rolls off of Komatsu Ogawa’s unconscious body before popping up to a knee with the biggest smirk ever on her face. The referee helps her back up to her feet as he does his job holding her arm up in victory, thus acknowledging her as the winner of this contest.)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… HERE IS YOUR WINNER… THE HELLCAT… PAAANDOOORAAAA PAAAAISSSLEEEYYYYY!!!!!
Deadprez: Great match from the start to the finish between two Elitists that both had a point to prove here tonight, but it is Pandora Paisley who was able to show more of a heart to win this contest. There’s absolutely nothing to take away from Komatsu Ogawa as he came out here and fought his hardest, but Pandora Paisley has been on a tear ever since returning and she was on a different level here tonight, as she usually is. Congratulations to Pandora Paisley—
(Suddenly…)
Eve: OH, THAT’S MS. EXTREME!!! MS. EXTREME IS HERE!!! MS. EXTREME SECRETLY SLIDES IN THE RING FROM OUT OF NOWHERE AND NAILS PANDORA PAISLEY WITH A CHAIRSHOT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD KNOCKING HER UNCONSCIOUS AND THE CROWD GOES NUTS IN REACTION! AMIR YUSUF QUICKLY ROLLS IN THE RING LOOKING TO GO AFTER CAMILLE AND MAKE HER PAY FOR WHAT SHE JUST DID BUT SHE ROLLS OFF AND ESCAPES BEFORE HE CAN GET TO HER! STATEMENT MADE BY MS. EXTREME!
Gavin Kirkland: That was expected to happen here tonight by Ms. Extreme especially after what Pandora did to her last week after her match against Holly Arrow. Ms. Extreme strikes back and while I’m sure Devolution will definitely have a reaction to what just happened, it’s Ms. Extreme who manages to get her message across this time and win this round. Nonetheless, we’ll see you after this short commercial break!
(The final shot is seen as Ms. Extreme leaves though the crowd with a smirk on her face, staring at the knocked out Pandora Paisley who’s slowly stirring while being attended to the exit in the arms of an angry Amir Yusuf. From there, Saturday Night Showdown fades elsewhere.)
( Cameras are backstage here in the WVU Coliseum, with this episode of Saturday Night Showdown airing live from West Virginia! Almost heaven! Where oh where is the Shenandoah River? Alas, not on camera. But something almost as beautiful, and almost as well-known as that world-famous song is on camera right now. Kennedy Street! The general manager of the blue brand, and how oh-so striking and radiant she looks! Looking up the phrase “like a million dollars” on google simply returns a picture of Kennedy. But she isn’t alone— she is deep in conversation with the latest addition to Showdown, Nyx! “The Honoured One” herself, what a buzz her signing has already created within the biggest wrestling promotion in the world. The allure, the potential, don’t leave your fingertip on Nyx for too long or it may burn! As we grow a little closer to the pair, their back-and-forth begins to pick up on camera. )
Kennedy Street: Honey… My goodness, the deities took extra time with you! I just knew Showdown had to snap you up the moment that I laid eyes on you. Not to boast, but Kennie has quite the eye for talent, hmm? But, don’t fret, I didn’t sign you merely as you’re easy on the eyes, no. You can back it up on the microphone, you can back it up in the ring. This is going to be a great, great partnership honey. I’ve curated more star power in my pointed fingernail than the likes of Dynasty and Voltage have in the last sixteen seasons. A woman of your quality and your talent deserves the finer things in life, things that Showdown can provide!
Nyx: What an honour it is… For Showdown to be blessed with my presence. You made the right decision racing to sign me, offering me luxuries that Dynasty and Voltage simply couldn’t match. It is their loss, and I’m excited to prove it. Something deep, deep within me told me that you understand my wants, my needs more than Tyrone Montgomery or Captain Charisma ever could… So I cannot wait to pay the faith and trust back. Soon enough, I’ll be holding gold around my waist, I’ll be a locker-room leader and this company… Will meet Nirvana.
Kennedy Street: And don’t I just know it, honey… You’ll be provided the opportunities soon enough to make your mark on this women’s division, trust me. I didn’t sign you just to leave you sitting around, or treat you like say… a Lexi, or someone boring like that. You’re stunning! Chiseled out of Mount Olympus itself! And I know the world is waiting in anticipation—
( Abruptly, Kennedy’s words trail off… Nyx seems a little confused, that is until her head turns along with the camera to see where Kennedy Street is looking off to… It’s Jack Ripley! Jack is suited-and-booted for action tonight, competing in a one-on-one match against Donovan Duke! He’s situated against the door frame, but he doesn’t look all-too happy while listening to the Showdown General Manager’s conversation with Nyx. Kennedy’s facial features soon match that of Jack’s. It seems that their relationship is a touch frosty, and yet they keep bumping into one another week in, week out! Jack walks into Kennedy’s office, he begins to speak. )
Jack Ripley: Well, well. This is interesting to say the least. I couldn’t help but catch the tail end of that conversation, Kennedy… I don’t mean any disrespect here, truly. But you’re oh-so willing to give opportunities to talent who… Haven’t proven themselves. Yet when a distinguished, accolade-laden talent like me asks for an opportunity? You move the goalposts, you keep putting obstacles in my way. It doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t need to keep proving myself here so I’m here to demand answers, do you have a problem with me or something?
( A strained sigh escapes Kennedy’s glossy lips. Her response is dripping with frustration. )
Kennedy Street: Honey, please. First of all, it’s /so/ rude to interrupt. Couldn’t you see that I was talking to the beautiful, future champion Nyx here? You could have waited outside, like a good boy would, but you seem so intent on driving a thorn in my side… I don’t like it, it’s beginning to upset me. We had this conversation last week, or so I thought. The Grand Rampage, quite literally /thee/ opportunity in this whole company, honey. Now unless Kennie is mistaken, I simply said if you won that? The world would be your oyster. Has something changed? If you’re injured, or unable to compete… Well, I’m sure Nyx here could even take your place, hmm?
Jack Ripley: Not injured, no. I’ll be there at the Grand Rampage, and I’ll be in that ring until the other men and women in that match? Are thrown over that top rope. Nothing’s changed on that front but I can’t help but feel like you’re being a little unfair. Maybe expecting too much of me. Chris Elite got a shot at Jake’s Answers World Championship by… Oh yes, simply… Returning. You have given people shots at belts, personal favors and all that for much less… Don’t get me wrong, here. I’m confident about my chances at Grand Rampage. But I want this squared away because I deserve to be a World champion in this company again. And I’m not leaving this office until you and I come to a mutual understanding.
( Steam is practically boiling from Kennedy’s ears. It’s clear the situation is seconds away from blowing up, but the resolution comes from an unexpected source— Nyx. Who speaks up and cuts through the tension between Jack Ripley and the Showdown General Manager. )
Nyx: I don’t mind making myself scarce— I’ve taken up enough of your time as is, Kennedy. I appreciate the vote of confidence and again, thank you for signing me. You, and the Showdown faithful also, won’t be disappointed. I cannot wait for my first match… Jack, maybe you could watch and learn a thing or two from the future of women’s wrestling, mm?
( With that Carlton Banks swagger and that Amazonian aura, Nyx saunters out of Kennedy Street’s office with all eyes on her. The future is bright! But cameras turn back to the situation on hand now, Jack Ripley has been asking, hands-and-knees, begging for some sort of chance. Thus far Kennedy has been reluctant in offering out that opportunity. Jack goes to speak but Kennedy is quick to cut him off, even gesturing for him to zip it with her dainty fingers. )
Kennedy Street: That’s enough. I am absolutely sick to death of you waltzing up into my business each-and-every week. I’ve already given you the answers, Jack. I shoveled out the map myself, drew the world’s fattest cross on it and still— you’re clueless. Look, let’s cut the crap here alright? We both know you’re not exactly front-and-center for a shot at the Answers World Championship. Think of someone like Alex Myers, or someone like Impact— even Chris Elite. They’ve all done things. They all have those results in their back pocket, they all bring something to the main event, the spotlight, that justifies them being in that position. But Jack, you’re in luck. I like the persistence, even if it’s a little… Worrying. You see, honey, usually when fires sprout up I’m quite efficient at putting them out. But I have a problem, a big problem which, if you handle it tonight? And I mean /handle/ it, then I’ll… I’ll give you an opportunity.
Jack Ripley: Name it. If this is what it takes, I’ll do it. All I’ve wanted is a task, something that’ll put me higher on that pecking order. So if you’re willing to give me what I want? Well, you know how the saying goes, you scratch my back and—
Kennedy Street: Yes, yes. I know the phrase, honey. Okay, Jack… I want you to take care of Donovan Duke tonight. And I don’t mean simply beat him. I’m not looking for a good ol’ wrasslin’ match where you get the better of him, exchange blows— I want him gone. I want him blown out of the water, out of this stratosphere in fact. Get rid of him. Beat him so badly he’ll never want to show his face on Saturday night ever again! If you do this for me? If you take care of this little problem that has been so ever present in my life? Then Kennie will take care of you.
( Jack Ripley’s lips curl into a wicked smirk. Zero hesitation, zero shame. Sometimes in this business you have to step on others to get to the top of the mountain, such a thought process has been evidenced time-and-time again in Elite Answers Wrestling. Do you want friends? Go buy a dog as that one person said. Jack Ripley offers a curt nod, he knows what must be done ahead of his big match-up with Donovan Duke— now with much more on the line. )
Jack Ripley: Say no more.
( With a turn of the heel, Jack Ripley exits the scene. He knows he deserves better, he has been at the top of this business before, and if he must heed to Kennedy’s call to reach that peak again? Then so be it. Kennedy Street sighs to herself, coming to bring a glass of wine situated on her desk to her lips. Fingernails tap against the rim of the glass. We slowly fade out of the scene in her office, transitioning elsewhere in the show soon after. Well, Jack Ripley vs. Donovan Duke just got a whole lot spicier! Let’s see how things play out from here as it cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is a PURE RULES match with a twenty-minute time limit, and is scheduled FOR!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘The Outsiders’ by Eric Church begins to play, signaling the arrival of Donovan Duke. The cheers from the crowd continue as he quickly jogs down to join the other two elitists around the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! From Stillwater, Oklahoma! Weighing in at 212 pounds: He is ‘The Oklahoma Gentemen’ DONOVANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!! DUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Here comes the former but longest reigning National Elite Champion in EAW History! He had some choice words to say to Jack throughout the week and he look mighty confident in his abilities to leave with a win tonight!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke went to war last week against Adam Lucas but the match was thrown thanks to several run-ins including from Jon Kelton and Dominion! One hellacious way to end a match but this is nothing short of war taking place with sides taken. These two will put on a banger I can tell!
(“Blue World” by Mac Miller starts playing and the sounds of resounding boos echo as Jack Ripley enters the arena. He really doesn’t care what the crowd thinks of him as he heads straight to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first and making his way to the ring. He is from Las Vegas, Nevada! Weighing in at 205 pounds. Here is “STRAIGHT SHOOTER” JACK RIPLEY!
Deadprez: Here comes The Straight Shooter! Coming off a victory last week against Major Scott Connor he will be looking for a bigger win tonight and perhaps more against someone he clearly doesn’t appreciate. No love loss here tonight between these two.
Gavin Kirkland: Jack seems to have a goal in mind tonight and that is hurting the man who’s been a thorn in Kennedy Street’s side for quite a while. Ripley has an opportunity, let’s see what he makes of it.
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Deadprez: AND HERE WE GO! This match is officially underway! This should be a fantastic match between these two highly gifted athletes! This match has the potential of becoming a slugfest rather quickly with some brutality in the mix.
Gavin Kirkland: This is bound to be entertaining as Jack and Donovan begin to circle each other around the ring. Jack might be looking to hurt or even injure Duke considering the former National Elite Champion is at odds with Kennedy Street and has been for a while. Both men go to clinch at each other dead in the center of the ring as Donovan takes Jack down with a snap mare to start things off!
Eve: Jack quickly goes for a counter as he scissors his legs around Donovan’s neck but Duke kicks out of there fast! Both men quickly back to their feet and Duke takes Jack down again with the snap, Jack once more with the scissors and Duke moves out of dodge and quickly again gets back on their feet. Stalemate!
Deadprez: With both men’s levels of experience this is something to be expected. Duke goes for a clinch but Jack steps aside moving to grab a leg bringing Duke down with a takedown trying to flip him to his stomach but Donovan struggles. Jack quickly switches to an arm trying for an armbar but Duke rolls and makes his way to the ropes grabbing on for safety. Smart move from Donovan.
Gavin Kirkland: Jack waits on Duke to part from the rope and grabs him into a headlock forcing him to the center of the ring they begin to roll over each other trying to gain mat advantage and yet both are getting up with no gain on either side!
Eve: Both men once more go to a clinch but Duke quickly gets Jack’s head in a headlock and quickly and suddenly spins on himself before taking down Jack by the legs! ARMLOCK by Donovan Duke who is on one knee over Ripley’s back! Duke working on the shoulder and elbow of Jack who forced his way back to his feet and now getting Duke to kneel as he reverses the move.
Deadprez: Moving and maneuvering to bring Duke back down face first and now into a side headlock! on the mat. Duke manages to make his way back to his feet and whips Jack to a corner. Ripley quickly hopped up and over Duke who charged in and parkour rolled behind him before quickly going vertical again. Duke tries for a clothesline evaded by the former World Champion who now stands behind him.
Gavin Kirkland: Pushing Duke to the ropes Ripley goes to them soon after running at Duke AND TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A HURRICANRANA!! Duke returns to his feet with haste as he goes to Jack and ends up down by a Japanese arm drag and then follows with a dropkick bringing Duke to the mat again! Jack is on the offense right now and the crowd boos him for it!
Eve: Jack doesn’t care about the crowd as he moves to Duke who had just gotten up moving to draw him into a shoulder pinfall predicament but Donovan kicked out before the official could start counting! Jack follows with a quick headlock to Duke throwing some overhead punches to his opponent and Duke moves out of the way, to the ropes he goes AND RIGHT INTO A STIFF SOUNDING RIGHT HARD FROM JACK TAKING DUKE DOWN!
Deadprez: The fans aren’t appreciating that punch much but it’s as legal as a bagel in this match, it just looks like Jack was trying to fracture Duke’s jaw with that move. Even the official couldn’t do a thing about it as he then goes to a knee over Donovan and begins to pummel him with hard closed fist punches THIS TIME the official is looking to stop it. Warning Jack that he will get disqualified and begins to count only to stop at four because Ripley stopped before the end. Extending the attack on Duke to a maximum.
Gavin Kirkland: This could turn ugly for Donovan if Jack is looking to inflict some damage on him and do our General Manager’s bidding by punishing the former National Elite Champion! Donovan is brought back to his feet, some elbow strikes to the side of the face BUT DUKE BLOCKS ONE AND BEGINS TO STRIKE BACK! RIGHT HAND! LEFT HAND! RIGHT HAND! AND AN EUROPEAN UPPERCUT THAT SENDS JACK TO THE ROPES!
Eve: Duke charges at Jack looking to throw him out of the ring with a clothesline BUT Jack flips him over the top rope! Donovan lands on the apron as Jack turns around he throws an elbow trying to get Duke to drop to the floor BUT DONOVAN DUCKS LOW AND THROWS A HEADBUTT TO THE STOMACH OF JACK WHO BENDS FORWARD! DUKE SWINGS HIMSELF OVER JACK WITH THE TOP ROPE AND DROPS RIPLEY WITH A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!!!
Deadprez: What a move by Duke!! Duke is trying to maintain the control he is trying to gain and Jack could be in trouble right now if he doesn’t strike back. Ripley now on his back as Duke grabs his arms moving them backwards and putting a knee to his spine as he pulls! The pain is clear in the face of Jack as the official begins a call for Duke to let go but he does too quickly AND JACK TURNS AROUND WITH A CLOTHESLINE THAT SURPRISES DUKE!!!
Deadprez: Jack is attempting to gain a solid measure of control over the match whipping Duke to the ropes and swinging for a clothesline BUT DUKE DUCKS! TURNS AROUND AND HUGS RIPLEY BEFORE SENDING HIM INTO A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! Jack’s head almost struck the lower turnbuckle of a corner and he’s holding his head in pain!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke doesn’t seem to want and give his opponent a bit of a break as he throws a double ax handle to the back of Ripley before moving him up to his feet and swinging him down with a backbreaker! Jack is moving to be vertical once with Duke quickly moving past. He hoists the straight shooter in and LANDING HIM INTO AN ATOMIC DROP WHICH STUNS JACK! Duke takes Ripley up and down with a scoop slam perfectly executed!
Eve: Jack is warring on moving to get to his feet trying to get to Duke WHO NAILS HIM WITH A SPRINGBOARD HANDSPRING ELBOW!! DUKE KEEPS ON THE OFFENSIVE BY GETTING JACK TO HIS FEET AND PLANTING HIS HEAD ON THE MAT WITH A PURE AND SIMPLE DDT!! DUKE GOES FOR A COVER BUT JACK KICKS OUT AND ROLLS OUT OF THE RING!!
Deadprez: The fans in attendance are letting Ripley know they aren’t happy with him, booing him massively as this was a move to create separation between the two belligerents BUT DUKE CLOSES THAT GAP WITH A SUICIDE DIVE THAT HE TURNED INTO A HURRICANRANA TAKING DOWN JACK TO THE MAT!! RIPLEY’S HEAD SHOULD BE SPINNING AT THE MOMENT SEEING HE’S GETTING A HANDFUL FROM THE FORMER NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!
Gavin Kirkland: Duke is gaining control over this match in commanding fashion now folks as he rolls Jack back inside the ring under the official’s instruction. He throws some elbows to the face of Ripley once both are up followed by an Irish whip into a corner FOLLOWED BY A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE from Duke! Ripley almost falls to the floor but he is sent into the ropes once more ONLY TO BE TAKEN DOWN WITH A SITOUT FACEBUSTER!!
Eve: Jack’s holding his face now as he gets to his knees and slowly moves to his feet, he swings a fist blindly trying to hit Donovan but in vain as the Duke picks him up in a fireman’s carry FOLLOWING IT WITH A SIDEWALK SLAM!! DOWN GOES JACK AND DONOVAN GOES FOR A COVER!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Eve: Jack lifts the shoulder up and this match resumes!!
Deadprez: Donovan sending a strong message against Jack right now, the former World Champion needs to find a way to gain the upper hand otherwise things are looking grim for him.
Gavin Kirkland: Not to mention he will surely disappoint our glorious General Manager if he can’t put some hurt on one of her biggest pain in the neck! She must be feeling a bit irritated right now seeing Donovan actually pick up Ripley into a military press and push him up and down a few times. The crowd loves it BUT JACK DROPS A KNEE TO DONOVAN’S HEAD TRYING TO BE FREE AND DUKE SEEMS A WEE BIT STUNNED!
Eve: WAIT NO HE AIN’T AS HE SETS RIPLEY UP FOR A POWERBOMB!! JACK IS WAILING DOWN ON DUKE’S HEAD WITH PUNCHES BUT HE GETS BROUGHT DOWN ANYWAY!!! BLAM WHAT IMPACT!!!! But Donovan looks woozy now and drops to a knee! This could be an opportunity for him to make a cover but he’s struggling to stay vertical! Surely this is giving Jack a bit of time to try and recover.
Deadprez: Precious time for sure and it was a smart play by Jack to try and kick his way out of that situation. Both men are now on their feet. Jack moves to Donovan, actually landing a punch which is returned by Donovan and then the two opponents are starting to unload on one another with furious blows by both parties involved! Jack with a quick knee to the midsection seems to try to turn the tables and whips Donovan to the ropes!
Gavin Kirkland: He goes for a chop but Duke ducks low running under the strike, bouncing back against the ropes, AND PROPELLING HIMSELF INTO A SPINNING HEEL KICK THAT NAILS JACK DOWN! Eve: Just as Jack was about to turn the tide to his favor, Duke reels it back to his side with agility and skill! Jack is having his hands full tonight as he is clotheslined by Duke once and gets back up. Down again the same way! And a third time! AND A ROUNDHOUSE KICK STOPS JACK FROM TRYING TO GET UP AGAIN!!! What a move by Donovan who quickly picks up Jack and gets him on the shoulder, are we going to see a running power slam? Yes, we will!
Deadprez: Duke is charging forward and about to drop down to complete the move BUT Jack slips behind him by pushing on his back! JACK WITH YOU’LL FLOAT TOO!!!!! NO DUKE DODGED IT AND MOVES IN CLOSE TO JACK TAKING HIM FOR A SPIN WITH A SPINBUSTER AS A COUNTER!!! COVER BY DONOVAN!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Ripley with the kick out!! The resilience of that man was proven in the past, tonight is no different! He wants to win and is powering through the pain! But he needs to do better in order to have a chance to dispose of Duke who looks at the official who confirms the two -count only. What a counter by Duke though!
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan moves to grab a hold of Jack moving both him and his opponent vertically before whipping Ripley to the ropes. He swings for an elbow to clock Jack down but Riplay evades to the side! Kick to the back of a knee brings Donovan down to one knee BEFORE JACK RAMS A KNEE TO THE FACE OF DUKE!!!
Eve: Duke drops to the ground holding his face before Jack drops an elbow on the man followed by a series of knees to the side and he does so aggressively! The crowd boos the man who once again ignores a lot of them and there is a glance of ice in his eyes. Uh oh this isn’t good for Duke I fear.
Deadprez: Jack moves Duke up to his feet throwing a knee to his midsection before setting him up for a quick snap suplex sending Donovan over head and slamming hard on his back. Jack doesn’t let go of his opponent however, sending him flying once again for a snap suplex and repeats the motion a third time before letting go!
Gavin Kirkland: Jack on the offense now as he sees Donovan backs himself to a corner, he goes to the ropes BEFORE SHOTGUN DROP KICKING DUKE AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES!!! The full brunt of the blow against Duke’s chest will hurt!
Eve: Jack goes to force Duke to face him but laid against the corner as he forces the man’s jaw to face up AND THROWS A STIFF KNIFE-EDGED CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST OF DONOVAN! And he throws another! And a third one! Duke’s chest is beginning to show signs of the abuse before Jack begins to throw elbows and kicks to his opponent that crumbles down on the corner!
Deadprez: Jack is stomping pretty hard at Donovan, hurting him seems the clear intention we expected this out of him tonight and then Jack moves a boot against Duke’s neck pressing hard!! Donovan’s holding the boot trying to keep it away from his neck so he could breathe and the official begins to count Jack out!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
FOUR!!!!
Deadprez: Jacks frees Duke’s neck from his bootheel BUT THEN HARSHLY RUBS IT AGAINST DONOVAN’S FACE! Ouch!!
Gavin Kirkland: A bit of insult to injury which I feel Kennedy Street will enjoy as for sure she is watching his match right now. Jack goes back on the attack as he goes to Duke and takes him down with an arm drag, performing some joint manipulation to put more hurt on Duke who was actually battling to try and get back to his feet!
Eve: Look at this that’s incredible Duke is about to actually felt off the manoeuver BUT SUDDENLY JACK DROPS THE HOLD IN PROFIT OF A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX AND TAKE DUKE DOWN!!!!
Deadprez: He goes for a cover BUT Duke Kicks Out Right Away! This annoys Jack who looks down on Duke and smacks him behind the head to humiliate him a bit.
Gavin Kirkland: Well within the rules I think I mean slapping isn’t cheating as Jack grabs the back of Duke’s head and begins to foul mouth him before going into a tight headlock AND THROWS HIMSELF ON HIS BACK FOR A DDT!!! DUKE’S HEAD PLANTED DOWN THE RING MAT!!
Eve: Jack isn’t messing around as he then quickly moves to the nearest corner and hops on the top, perched, he looks down on Donovan who’s getting up slowly. Duke looks worse for weak and his back turned to Ripley who’s waiting BEFORE TAKING TO THE SKY AND LAND ON DUKE WITH HIS KNEES TO THE FACE OF DONOVAN!! Both men crash down to the floor as I wonder if Duke’s nose is broken from that hit!
Deadprez: Well, he doesn’t appear to be bleeding but that still must be hurting a whole lot! Jack throws some more elbows to the face of Donovan to try and hurt him some more before going for a black body drop that rattles the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: Jack moves to his feet looking down at Donovan who’s writhing in pain holding his face while arching his back. Jack looks callous about it as he throws a kick to the ribs for good measure before going to top rope once more. Thus far going airborne paid off for Jack and is looking to make it happen again WITH A MOONSAULT FROM THE TOP ROPE!!! WOAH!! AND HE THEN GOES FOR THE COVER AFTER LANDING IT PERFECTLY!!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: And Donovan Kicks Out Of THAT!!
Eve: Duke has been known to be quite the resilient man and he shows it by denying Jack a victory after he delivered a beautiful moonsault from the top rope! Donovan is holding his sides clutching to it this could be hard for him as he is moving to his knees he clearly doesn’t want to end this match.
Deadprez: The official looks at him, asking if he wants to continue and he acknowledges! BUT JACKS CLOCKS HIM FROM THE SIDE WITH A RUNNING ELBOW TO THE HEAD!! DOWN GOES DOWN AND JACK IS WAILING DOWN AT HIM HARD WITH STRIKES, PUNCHES AND ELBOWS!!
Gavin Kirkland: He whips Donovan into a corner, the force has Duke crumbling down but Jack forces him up before sending him to the ropes. CLOTHESLINE by Jack! Duke goes down but moves to his feet AND JACK GOES FOR DAYLIGHT SLAYING TIME!!! THE RUNNING KNEE TO THE HEAD OF DUKE CONNECTS!!! COVER!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AND DONOVAN SURVIVES!!!
Deadprez: Jack looks a bit irritated by that as he stares daggers at the official who confirms the two counts! Donovan is getting in trouble in his match the more it progresses as Jack just scored one of his signature moves! When will we expect one of his finishers? The end appears close if Donovan doesn’t find a way to fight back!
Gavin Kirkland: AND HE DOES WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST!! THE DEALER’S CHOICE JUST AS JACK WAS CHARGING AT HIM PROPELLED BY THE ROPES!! JACK IS STUNNED AND DONOVAN IS REELING! Jack is going back on the attack BUT DONOVAN PLANTS HIM WITH A DDT!!! He goes to the top ropes, looking for the Phoenix Splash! He leaps!!
Eve: BUT CRASHES HARD AS JACK ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY!!! This is an incredible opportunity for Ripley to put Donovan away and he’s going hastfully to a corner he’s calling for a finisher! HE WANTS TO GO FOR YOU’LL FLOAT TOO!!!!
Deadprez: This could be it right here! If Ripley nails this move Duke can be done for! Donovan is about in position! Ripley goes for it!! DUKE DUCKED RIGHT UNDER IT AND GOES GO REACH UNDER JACK!!! HE IS ROLLING HIM UP IN A SMALL PACKAGE!!! HE’S GOING FOR A COVER!!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!!
( DING! DING!! DING!!! )
(‘The Outsiders’ by Eric Church begins to play, under the cheers of the crowd as Duke quickly rolls away from Jack and moves outside of the ring raising both arms up high! The official goes to him, raising his lead arm in victory while back inside the ring Jack is on his knees looking absolutely livid!)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen the winner of this match: DONOVAAAAAAN DUUUUUUUUUUKEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: JACK GOT SURPRISED BY DUKE AND WON THE MATCH!!! JACK WAS ABOUT TO SEAL THE DEAL WITH YOU’LL FLOAT TOO BUT DUKE MANAGED TO SCORE A ROLL-UP AND WIN!!!!
Deadprez: Both men delivered an incredible performance tonight! Both had great chances to win and while Jack was attempting to hurt, perhaps injure Donovan, Duke managed to pull through and cause an upset that will not make our General Manager happy for sure! Good match on both sides, to be fair, but the winner is Donovan Duke!
Eve: HEY LOOK AT JACK!!!!
( The final shot is of Jack Ripley arguing with the official, who told him he was doing his job and things get heated to the point where Jack suddenly strikes down the referee with You’ll Float Too! He yells and leaves the ring just as officials rushes in to try and stop his actions as the scene transitions elsewhere. )
(Scene opens in Kassidy Heart’s lavish dressing room, Kassidy flicking through some magazines, fresh from appearing on Dynasty last night with the Jaded Hearts reunion. As the arena see’s this, it breaks out into a mixture of both boos and cheers, the fans obviously confused after what she has been through. A knock is heard at the door, and immediately she turns, not wanting to get caught out like before. It wasn’t that she was paranoid, more that she didn’t want to get jumped by the attacker again.)
Kassidy Heart: Yeah, who is it?
(The door opens, but the camera stays on Kassidy.)
Kassidy Heart: Oh, it’s you.
(The camera pans around to reveal Adam Lucas in the doorway, and he steps inside, Kassidy at least not yet telling him to leave.)
Kassidy Heart: I can’t imagine that you and I have anything to say to each other that I didn’t say in that ring.
(Adam holds up his hands defensively and stays a distance away so as not to antagonize.)
Adam Lucas: Look Kassidy, I know you and I will never be friends…
Kassidy Heart: You think? Talk about the understatement of the century.
Adam Lucas: But I am sorry with what happened. I know that both of us wanted the match to be definitive, and that it left a bad taste in both our mouths of what happened to you, but I want to assure you that I had nothing to do with it. I wanted to beat you under my own steam, and I hope you understand that.
Kassidy Heart: Yeah, I understand it Adam, but I still want no part of it. I know you walk around this place seeing the best in everyone, but I am not the same as you. I’m going to find out who did this to me, and I promise you right now, I’m going to make them regret they ever stepped foot in my locker room. I’m going to destroy them Adam, and once I have done that, you can rest assured that I will be coming for you. Like it or not, you have a victory over me, and I need to rectify that. Right now, however, you should think yourself lucky that you’re not on my radar… yet.
(Adam nods his head, understanding every word.)
Adam Lucas: So, do you have any ideas?
(Kassidy laughs, shaking her head dismissively.)
Kassidy Heart: It could be literally anyone Lucas. There isn’t a single person in this company that isn’t either jealous of how good I am, or I haven’t taken to task. But they will get careless, and they will reveal themselves…
Adam Lucas: Well, if there is anything I can do to help?
(Kassidy scoffs, making it clear Adam wasn’t required in this instance.)
Kassidy Heart: No Adam, you can’t help… just somehow win that Answers World Championship, if you can get past Impact, and keep it warm for me, because I will be wanting it back.
Adam Lucas: I…
Kassidy Heart: ARE YOU NOT GETTING IT???
(Kassidy for the first time allows her emotions to get the better of her, Adam taking a step back.)
Kassidy Heart: You are having your moment in the sun Lucas, so enjoy it. I don’t want your apology, and I most certainly don’t need your sympathy. I might be a little bang up right now, but I am still the Mauler, the woman who even at ten percent, you struggled to defeat. You should concentrate on getting better, because what I felt at Reasonable Doubt wouldn’t be enough to beat me at one hundred percent. You reckon you’ve evolved… I’m sorry Lucas, I just don’t see it. You are still the same bland son of a bitch I humbled on the season fifteen opener.
Adam Lucas: You’re wrong Kassidy.
Kassidy Heart: Am I? Well, how’s about you and I settle it right here and now. You feel strong Adam?
(Adam looks at her almost in disbelief. He had tried to help, but predictably she was throwing it back in his face. He opens his mouth to say something, but then senses the door opening behind him. Before he can turn, whoever it is that enters speaks, in a commanding tone.)
Voice: GET OUT!!!
(Adam turns, to face none other that his opponent at Grand Rampage, Impact, who is already pointing towards the door.)
Impact: Leave her alone… NOW. You have done enough.
Adam Lucas: Are you kidding me?
Impact: The only joke around here is you Adam, so why don’t you leave before I make you.
Adam Lucas: Like to see you try fella.
Impact: I’ve done it multiple times already, I got not issue doing it again.
Adam Lucas: See, I don’t get it
Impact: Nothing new
Adam Lucas: No, I mean… this whole partnership between the two of you.
Impact: We have common goals, getting rid of trash like you.
Adam Lucas: Really? But let’s face it Impact, Kassidy is without a doubt better than you ever will be again, regardless of belts.
(Impact doesn’t respond.)
Adam Lucas: And you know it don’t you… so who’s to say it wasn’t YOU who took Kassidy out, you keep her out of your way.
Impact: That’s ridiculous
Adam Lucas: Is it? I mean, where were you when it happened huh? No doubt cooking up another scheme to get your hands on the World Championship.
Impact: Leave!
Adam Lucas: I mean, wasn’t such a brother in arms then were you. Let me ask you a question, what’s more important? Kassidy, or the title.
Impact: I said… LEAVE.
Adam Lucas: You’re pathetic you know that. You are just as likely as anyone else to be responsible for what happened, you’re just not man enough to tell her.
Impact: I’m warning you…
(Impact steps up to Adam so that they are almost nose to nose. Adam just smirks, before taking a couple of steps back and then turning, heading towards the door.)
Adam Lucas: Good talk Karl
(He leaves, Impact shaking his head in disbelief.)
Impact: Can you believe that?
(Impact turns, facing Kassidy for the first time, who is staring daggers into his very soul.)
Impact: Hold on, you’re not telling me you are buying that?
Kassidy Heart: Well… did you do it?
(Impact hesitates, not believing that this is happening, Kassidy storming past him and heading towards the door, Impact running after her.)
Impact: No, I didn’t. Sienna and yourself now together again? The Jaded Hearts? Kassidy wait.
(The camera follows them for a moment before cutting away.)
( After the commercial break, Saturday Night Showdown returns with Gina Romano standing at the center of the ring, sporting a big smile as she prepares to announce the upcoming contest. )
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TAG TEAM MATCH SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘Mr. Brightside’ by The Killers blasts through the speakers as Lexi emerges with a wide smile on her face, closely followed by Hans Grayson who exudes a sense of confidence. The two meet in the center of the stage and exchange a high-five before making their way to the ring together. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM DETROIT, MICHIGAN!… WEIGHING IN AT 117 POUNDS!… LLLLLEEEEEEXXXXXIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!… AND HER PARTNER FROM VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA!… WEIGHING IN 216 POUNDS!…. HE IS THE ‘FIRE HEART’ !… HANSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!…. GRAYSONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I like Hans but I wish I stand there like him.
Eve: Nope. Oh speaking of the match tonight, hey Chris, how are you doing today?
( The camera cuts away from the entrance to reveal Chris Elite sitting beside the commentary table in casual attire, with his arms crossed as he watches the match. )
Chris Elite: I’m great, Eve and I’m only here for one reason.
Gavin Kirkland: Watching Lexi, right, Chris?
Chris Elite: What’s wrong with you? Do you think I want to suffer myself by doing that? Perhaps, A glutton for punishment for me?
Gavin Kirkland: :whoa:
Deadprez: We have an intriguing pairing, and it remains to be seen how they will fare in this match. Will they come out victorious against Veena and Ashlynn, or will they suffer defeat at their hands?
( Both of them enter the ring as ‘7 Rings’ by Ariana Grande blares through the speakers as Veena Adams strides out with the National Elite title strapped around her waist, followed closely by Ashlynn Quinn. The two show a combination of seriousness and confidence as they make their way to the ring for tonight’s match. )
Gina Romano: THEIR OPPONENTS!… FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA!… WEIGHING IN AT 115 POUNDS!… ‘THE BOUJEE PRINCESS’ !!!… ASHLYNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!…. QUINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!…. AND HER PARTNER FROM GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT!!.. WEIGHING IN AT 121 POUNDS!… THE EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!!.. “PRINCESS OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING” !!… VEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: VEENA VEAFW+_KVIOE#JG#J GBIO#G UIO#NGBU#IJGIO#HF)WBFIWHJGF@IJGF)PO#HG(ONBGFIJFO#IWBHGF(O#JFI
Chris Elite: Insanity.
Eve: He can’t get away with this. Earlier this year, Veena Adams secured the National Elite championship title by defeating Donovan Duke at King of Elite. Speaking of which, Chris, it seems like you have a soft spot for her. How do you feel about Veena Adams as the champion?
Chris Elite: I think she’s alright… but I’m more than “alright”.
( DING DING DING )
Eve: Lexi and Ashlynn are the respective legal representatives for their teams at the start of the match, and here we go! Ashlynn quickly slides beneath the bottom rope and out of the ring, while Lexi is preparing to follow suit….
Ashlynn Quinn: :whoa2:
Chris Elite: Come on dawg, just get in there. It’s not that hard.
Deadprez: Lexi doesn’t wait any longer and slides underneath the bottom rope, charging towards Ashlynn with a Backspin kick! Ashlynn manages to duck under just in time and now she goes back into the ring to get away from Lexi. Lexi follows back into the ring with the annoyance she holds with her Reasonable Doubt oppone- ASHLYNN RUNS FORWARD AND DELIVERS A PUMP KICK TO LEXI’S JAW JUST AS LEXI TRIES TO MAKE A COMEBACK TO BOTH FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: The first goat is taken down and the second goat makes a smart move. Now, my favorite Tiktok star picks my daughter off the ground and sends her right into the corner. Ashlynn follows up with a running back elbow, spiking Ashlynn into the side of Lexi’s head! ME NEXT! ME NEXT!
Chris Elite: You need to relax, buddy. She ain’t worry about you.
Eve: Shut up, Gavin. Ashlynn takes down Lexi just in time and now her team is gaining the upper hand. Ashlynn turns back around to Lexi but before she can do anything….
( TAG! )
Eve: Veena Adams is now a legal competitor of her own team. Ashlynn picks Lexi off the ground and throws her down to the ropes. Both women connect with a double back elbow. Ashlynn performs a standing moonsault on Lexi and now Veena JUMPS IN AND ROLLS BACK TO HER FEET WITH LEXI IN A HOLD FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! GERMAN SUPLEX BY VEENA ADAMS TAKING DOWN LEXI!
Deadprez: Veena’s team is making progress so far in this match, and now Veena comes for Lexi for more. Veena starts sitting on Lexi and goes for blow after blow on Lexi with a stiff forearm going right across her face. Lexi is in trouble right there with Hans watching closely and trying to get her down to the corner of his team. Hans tries to yell at Lexi to get her back here, but as we can see, Veena is taking control right now, and there is no chance for Hans to do anything soon or sooner.
Gavin Kirkland: Veena stops punching and now she’s coming back to her feet, pulling Lexi up with her by using her hair. Veena tosses Lexi down to the ropes and takes her down quickly with a Cartwheel Kick!… LEXI SIDESTEPS AND JUMPS DOWN TO HANS WHO IS WAITING FOR HER TO MAKE A TAG!
( TAG! )
Eve: A tag is being made and here comes the only man in this match, Hans Grayson! Veena returns to her feet and tries to attack Hans. Hans ducks under her arm and runs forward to the ropes, bounces off the ropes, and connects with a Handspring Roundhouse kick, taking down the National Elite champion!
Deadprez: Hans is on both knees and Ashlynn runs in and tries to jump on him this time. Hans catches Ashlynn with a chop before quickly grabbing her and tossing Ashlynn down to the ropes. Ashlynn bounces off the ropes and Hans delivers a clothesline, taking down Ashlynn! Hans turns back around and Veena runs at full speed like a racing bull trying to attack Hans again this time, but Hans tosses her onto Ashlynn’s body with an armdrag, taking out both women!
Gavin Kirkland: Hans chooses to pick up the legal man and now picks Ashlynn off the ground and back to her feet. He tosses Ashlynn down to the ropes, catches her with a jumping knee, and now… A SAITO SUPLEX PLANTING ASHLYNN DOWN TO THE GROUND! THE FIRE HEART IS ACTUALLY ON FIRE!
Chris Elite: Hans is actually a nice guy, I’m not going to lie but why I feel like I saw him at Suicide forest in Japan or some-
Gavin Kirkland: I think you got the wrong guy, Chris. That must be… his twin brother!
Chris Elite: He had one?
Gavin Kirkland: Uh… nevermind. Anyway, gentlemen. Hans is still under the control of the match and he isn’t going for the pin just yet. Hans is looking to set things up around here and is now heading up to the top of the corner…. LOOKING FOR ‘GRAYSON SPLASH’ OFF THE TOP ROPE!…. oh?
Eve: Hans stops right before he can make a jump as Ashlynn rolls down to the apron to move out of her way before Hans can start doing anything else. Hans sighs, but he doesn’t move anywhere from there. I think Hans is making a new gameplan here while Ashlynn is still down on the ground, and it’s supposed to be something that we don’t expect from Hans here tonight….. HANS LOOKS FOR ‘GRAYSON SPLASH’ AGAIN BUT THIS TIME ON ASHLYNN WHO IS ON THE APRON-
Deadprez: NO LOOK, GUYS! IT’S VEENA ADAMS! SHE POPS UP TO THE TOP CORNER AND NOW…. AVALANCHE BUTTERFLY SUPLEX!!!!!!!!!!!…. INTO A CROSS ARMBREAKER!!!!! ‘FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY’ PUTS HANS IN PLACE!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK HOW MY GIRL GOES! VEENA COMES UP WITH A GREAT STRATEGY HERE TO SAVE HER PARTNER AND TAKE DOWN HANS AT THE SAME TIME. NOW, SHE’S TEACHING HANS A LESSON AND MAKING HIM KNOW HIS PLACE WITH A CROSS ARMBREAKER SUBMISSION HOLD! HANS IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE RIGHT HERE, BUT HE’S TRYING TO MAKE SURE HE’S ABLE TO ESCAPE BY CRAWLING TOWARDS THE BOTTOM ROPE!
Eve: Ashlynn rolls off the apron and now she starts recovering- A BACKSTABBER FROM BEHIND TO ASHLYNN, CONNECTING BY LEXI! LEXI HEADS BACK INTO THE RING, JUMPING IN AND STRIKING LEXI! OH, HERE WE GO! LEXI WASTES NO TIME GOING FOR BROKE AGAINST VEENA HERE AS SHE STARTS RAINING DOWN A FLURRY OF PUNCHES ON VEENA, TRYING TO BEAT THE HELL OUT OF HER. LEXI GOES ALL OUT AGAINST VEENA AND TRIES TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE REALIZES WHO SHE’S DEALING WITH HERE!
Deadprez: Lexi is going ballistic and trying to beat down the National Elite Champion while the referee tries to calm her down! Lexi attempts to attack Veena, who is now prone on the ground, but she starts shaking her head and moves behind the ropes so that her team does not get disqualified!
Chris Elite: Lexi can be crazy sometimes, like her brother. Well, there are always strange siblings, so I’m not surprised when something like this happens.
Gavin Kirkland: Come on, Chris. I mean, Lexi is cute and all, but when she’s being crazy, it makes her even cuter than ever!
Chris Elite: I’m going to smack you really hard, you neanderthal hag.
Gavin Kirkland: I’M JUST SAYING!
Eve: Hans comes back to his feet after escaping Veena’s ‘Float like a Butterfly’ move. He reaches both feet and begins to pull Veena back up to her feet, sending her towards the ropes. As Veena rebounds back towards him, Hans catches her with a chop right across her chest, throwing her into the corner. Now, he’s attempting to attack Veena in the corner with a shoulder thrust!
Deadprez: Veena escapes by going through the ropes and down to the apron, leaving Hans to crash and burn into the ring post. Hans stumbles out of the corner, and Veena takes advantage by climbing up to the top rope. She flies off the top and looks for a flying crossbody, successfully taking down Hans Grayson!
Gavin Kirkland: CATCHING HER IN THE MID-AIR WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE! HANS TAKES DOWN VEENA JUST IN TIME WITH A HUGE KNEE! ASHLYNN HAS FULLY RECOVERED AND IS NOW COMING BACK INTO THE RING, JUMPING DOWN TO HANS AND TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE WITH A HURRICANRANA! MEANWHILE, LEXI JUMPS INTO THE RING AND RUNS TOWARDS ASHLYNN. AS ASHLYNN TURNS AROUND, LEXI PLANTS HER DOWN WITH A HUGE SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!
Eve: It has become chaotic in the ring, and Veena is now recovering. Lexi drags Hans over to her corner before quickly going behind the ropes to make a tag with him!
( TAG! )
Eve: Lexi enters the ring and waits for the right moment to strike. Veena is still recovering from the knee strike that came out of nowhere and is trying to clear her vision. She feels like a flashbang just exploded in her eyes. Lexi patiently waits for Veena to turn back around to face her, and when the National Elite Champion randomly finds herself facing Lexi…. LEXI GOES FOR ‘LIGHTS OUT’ !!!!!!! A SUPERKICK TO THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!!!!!
Deadprez: Veena is actually not down! It was just a trick to fake out Lexi! Veena quickly recovers and ducks underneath Lexi’s right foot, going for her left one before tripping Lexi down to the ground. Veena seizes Lexi’s left leg and is now back on her feet with an ankle lock applied to Lexi! Things are going downhill for Lexi here, and Veena uses this moment to try to make Lexi tap out! Veena puts more pressure into the submission hold, making it much worse for Lexi, and Lexi’s screams of pain grow louder!
Chris Elite: Maybe Veena isn’t that bad after all. :notbad:
Gavin Kirkland: Lexi tries to crawl her way towards the bottom rope, doing everything she can to avoid tapping out to Veena but Veena isn’t giving her any breathing room in the middle of the ring! Hans reaches for the apron and tries to enter the ring, but something is stopping him from getting back in. Ashlynn is holding onto his right leg and trying to pull him away from the ring. Hans pops off the apron and starts fighting with Ashlynn on the outside!
Eve: The fight has spilled to the outside between Hans Grayson and Ashlynn Quinn! Hans lands a right knee to Ashlynn’s gut, sending her crashing towards the barricade. Ashlynn holds her back in pain and tries to get back to her feet as quickly as possible, but Hans charges towards her!… SHE CATCHES HANS AND A NORTHERN LIGHT SUPLEX DRIVING HANS INTO THE GUARDRAI! WHAT A COUNTER BY ASHLYNN QUINN!
Deadprez: Back in the ring, Lexi continues to crawl towards the bottom rope while Veena maintains the Ankle lock submission hold, lying down on the ground. The hold is causing even more pain for Lexi than before, but she refuses to give up. Her right hand reaches out towards the bottom rope, inching closer and closer!
Gavin Kirkland: LEXI REACHES THE BOTTOM ROPE! Veena shows no mercy and quickly releases the Ankle lock submission hold, charging at Lexi with a flurry of MMA punches that she has clearly studied. She doesn’t give Lexi any break and unleashes all her pent-up frustration on her opponent. The referee tries to intervene and check on Lexi, but Veena pays no attention and slams Lexi’s face onto the mat before walking away.
Chris Elite: Should keep punching her like that.
Eve: Veena comes back to her feet and does a little warm-up while waiting for Lexi, who is still hurting from the Ankle lock that she just went through. Lexi starts pushing herself off the ground, and Veena comes from behind, picking her up off the ground in a German Suplex position, looking to drive Lexi to the ground with it!
Deadprez: Veena forgets to realize that Lexi’s arms aren’t hurt, and now Lexi tries to use them to attack Veena, making sure that she starts becoming much weaker and unable to utilize the German Suplex anytime soon! Veena attempts to resist those elbows before getting hit hard by one, causing her to release Lexi from the hold as Ashlynn slides back into the ring and charges at Lexi… LEXI GETS ASHLYNN UPON HER SHOULDERS!… ‘BLOODSHOT’ !!!!!!! A DEATH VALLEY DRIVER SPIKES THE TOP OF HER HEAD TO THE GROUND! GREAT COUNTER BY LEXI!
Chris Elite: That might be it for her there.
Gavin Kirkland: Lexi pays too much attention to Ashlynn and gives Veena time to recover. Veena comes from behind, attempting a German Suplex, but Lexi USES HER RIGHT ARM TO SNATCH VEENA BY THE BACK OF HER NECK, TURNING HER INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE ROLL-UP!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
…..
Eve: VEENA KICKS OUT! Veena gets back to her feet right after kicking out as Lexi follows her up…. VEENA RUNS IN AND LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH LEXI RIGHT THERE WITH THE SPEAR THAT SHE ADOPTED FROM HER UNCLE BUT LEXI CATCHES HER, SPIKING VEENA TO THE GROUND WITH A DDT!
Deadprez: Hans starts getting up to the apron as Lexi crawls down to him. Hans reaches the apron and throws his hand out for Lexi to make a tag there!
( TAG! )
Gavin Kirkland: Hans ascends to the top turnbuckle while Veena struggles to rise to her feet. Hans isn’t going to let her reach both knees anytime soon and now, HANS HOPS OFF THE TOP CORNER AND LOOKS FOR THE ‘GRAYSON SPLASH’ ONCE AGAIN TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND COMPLETELY! HANS GOES FOR A 450 SPLASH OFF THE TOP!
??????: STOPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!
Hans Grayson: (Off-Mic) I-
Eve: IT’S ASHLYNN QUINN! HE BLOCKS HANS’ WAY RIGHT WHEN HE’S JUST ABOUT TO JUMP!
Ashlynn Quinn: (Off-Mic) WHAT ARE YOU DOING? DO YOU THINK GOOD WRESTLING NEEDS A FLIPPY FLOPPY MOVE THAT YOU’RE ABOUT TO DO? NO, GET OFF THE TOP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE!
Hans Grayson: (Off-Mic) Oh okay.
Deadprez: Hans doesn’t seem to care and now he’s going to do it anyway, but Ashlynn runs in, grabbing his legs and trying to avoid him from doing the move. Lexi swiftly goes through the ropes and yanks Ashlynn away from Hans, then flings her to the ground with force. Ashlynn rolls back to her feet and runs straight at Lexi to take her down on her own…. LEXI GOES FOR ‘LIGHTS OUT’ AGAIN BUT ASHLYNN ROLLS UNDERNEATH HER LEG JUST IN TIME! LEXI MISSES AND TURNS HIS ATTENTION BACK TO ASHLYNN…. INTO A JUMPING MATTSLAM BY ASHLYNN, TAKING OUT LEXI!
Gavin Kirkland: Hans springs off the top corner and bides his time for Ashlynn to face him again. As soon as Ashlynn turns around, she charges at Hans…. ‘FIRE PUNCH’ KNOCKING ASHLYNN OUT COLD! WHAT A SUPERMAN PUNCH BY HANS GRAYSON! HE MAKES A BIG MOVE FOR HIS TEAM RIGHT THERE!
Eve: HANS LOOK OUT!… SPEARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A SPEAR BY VEENA ADAMS!!!!!!!!!!! SHE DOES IT AND SHE DROPS INTO A COVER! HANS IS OUT! VEENA GOES FOR A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
…..
THREE-
Deadprez: HANS GRAYSON LIFTS HIS SHOULDER OFF THE MAT! HE KICKS OUT OF THE SPEAR! Veena can’t wait any longer and hauls Hans up from the mat. She pulls him towards her and sets up for ‘Killer Queen’s Rhapsody’ on the spot! Veena attempts to trap Hans in the Kimura Lock, which is definitely not good news for him!….
Gavin Kirkland: A DIVING CROSSBODY BY LEXI ON VEENA ADAMS! SHE TAKES OUT VEENA ADAMS JUST IN TIME TO SAVE HANS! LEXI QUICKLY RETURNS TO HER FEET AND THROWS HANS INTO THE CORNER BEFORE GOING BEHIND THE ROPES….
( TAG! )
Eve: VEENA IS STILL GROUNDED, PRESENTING AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY FOR LEXI TO SECURE A VICTORY FOR HER TEAM! LEXI ASCENDS TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE ONCE AGAIN, BUT VEENA BEGINS TO HEAVE HERSELF UP FROM THE CANVAS. VEENA FINDS HERSELF IN A HIGHLY PRECARIOUS POSITION, AND THINGS ARE LOOKING QUITE GRIM FOR HER AT THE MOMENT!…. ‘HEART STOPPER’ !!!!!!!!!! A DIVING MOONSAULT OFF THE TOP BY LEXI ON VEENA ADAMS! SHE CONNECTS IT PERFECTLY AND NOW SHE GOES FOR A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
…..
THREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!…..
…..
Gavin Kirkland: VEENA ADAMS KICKS OUT BEFORE THE COUNT OF THREE! SHE KICKS OUT OF ‘HEART STOPPER’ BY LEXI! VEENA IS STILL HANGING ON, GIVING HER TEAM A FIGHTING CHANCE TO WIN. HOWEVER, LEXI HAS A PRIME OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THE MATCH TO A CLOSE! LEXI SEIZES VEENA OFF THE MAT AND TAKES HOLD OF HER ARM, LEAPING OVER HER AND LOCKING IN THE ‘LEXI LOCK’ SUBMISSION HOLD!!!!!!
Chris Elite: No way.
Deadprez: THIS COULD SPELL DISASTER FOR VEENA AS LEXI GOES FOR THE ‘BLACK WIDOW’, THE OCTOPUS HOLD! THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BREAK VEENA IN TWO! LEXI IS AIMING TO CAUSE AN UPSET AND SECURE THE WIN FOR HER TEAM RIGHT HERE AND NOW!….
Eve: WAIT LOOK! IT’S ASHLYNN! SHE’S ON THE APRON!… A SLINGSHOT ROLLING THUNDER DROPKICK ‘TREND SETTER’ TAKING DOWN LEXI! LETTING FREE OFF HER PARTNER!-
Gavin Kirkland: ‘HIGH HEAT’ !!!!!!!!!!!! HANS ALSO ROLLS INTO THE RING AND IMMEDIATELY PLANTS ASHLYNN TO THE GROUND WITH A JUMPING SOMERSAULT SENTON INTO AN UNPRETTIER! HANS TAKES OUT ASHLYNN WITH ONE OF HIS FINISHERS!
Chris Elite: :damn: These newcomers going crazy, not gonna lie.
Deadprez: Hans rises to his feet and rushes over to assist Lexi, guiding her towards their corner to make a tag with him… ‘SKULL FRACTURE’ !!!!!!!!!!!!! A PUNT KICK SENDING HANS TO SLEEP RIGHT THERE!!!!!!!!
Eve: Veena has regained momentum and she’s not finished with Hans Grayson just yet! Veena hauls Hans up from the mat once more and ‘A DARK TURN’ !!!!!!!!! FLIPPING HIM INSIDE OUT WITH A SPINNING HEADLOCK ELBOW DROP THAT SENDS HIM CRASHING TO THE CANVAS!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Veena sends Hans tumbling out of the ring and redirects her attention to Lexi, who is beginning to rise back up to her feet…. ‘LIGHTS OUT’ !!!!!! A SUPERKICK CONNECTS ON VEENA!!!!! SHE’S DOWN AGAIN! LEXI GOES FOR A COVER ON VEENA!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
….
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
…..
THREE!-
…..
Eve: VEENA ADAMS KICKS OUT AGAIN! Lexi isn’t hesitating anymore and quickly hoists Veena up from the mat. Standing face-to-face, Lexi is determined to put an end to the National Elite champion right then and there. This could be Lexi’s defining moment!…
Gavin Kirkland: ‘FOH’ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A STANDING SHIRAINUI-
Chris Elite: Oh?
Deadprez: NONONONONO! VEENA TURNS THE TABLES BY GRABBING LEXI’S ARM AS SHE LEAPS INTO THE AIR, AND EXPERTLY TRANSITIONS INTO ‘KILLER QUEEN’S RHAPSODY’ SUBMISSION HOLD!!!! A KIMURA LOCK COUNTER AND NOW LEXI IS IN TROUBLE!… SHE TAPS OUT! LEXI TAPS OUT! IT’S OVER! VEENA AND ASHLYNN WIN!
Chris Elite: Alright good chat, y’all.
( DING DING DING! )
Gina Romano: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS!… THE TEAM OF ASHLYNN QUINN AND VEENA ADAMS-
Gavin Kirkland: OH GOD! CHRIS ELITE ATTEMPTS TO HIT ‘BOX OFFICE SMASH’ ON VEENA, BUT THE SUPERKICK INSTEAD CONNECTS WITH ASHLYNN’S FACE AS SHE JUMPS IN TO SHIELD HER PARTNER! VEENA QUICKLY POPS DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE WITH DRAGGING HER PARTNER DOWN UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE!
Eve: Well guys, that’s quite the ending to this match! Ashlynn inadvertently takes a superkick from Chris Elite, leaving Veena vulnerable to his next move. It looks like Chris is coming for Veena and she better be ready to defend her National Elite title reign because things are about to heat up!
( “Invincible” by Pop Smoke plays throughout the arena instead of Veena Adams’ theme music as Veena Adams again carries the unconscious Ashlynn over her shoulder as they make their way to the back while Chris Elite keeps his eyes locked on Veena. It’s clear that Chris has his sights set on the National Elite championship, and the scene fades to a commercial break. )
(We cut to the back, the image coming across all sepia once more, as we enter the interrogation room of none other than Richard Tracie P.I, or as his friends know him. He looks thoughtful and rubs the beard that my God wishes he could grow.)
Richard Tracie P.I.: Ah, Mr. De La Rosa, I have to admit that after reading your file I was very much looking forward to chatting with you and… what do you call your acquaintances again?
Roberto De La Rosa: La Familia.
Richard Tracie P.I.: Yes, that is correct. It’s strange in this day and age to find someone who puts such great stock in family.
Robert De La Rosa: They are everything to me “Dick”… everything I do, I do for them
Richard Tracie P.I.: Quite the fella.
(Richard flicks through his notes, finding the page that he wanted)
Richard Tracie P.I.: So, does that include taking out Ms. Heart?
(Roberto turns to La Familia and shakes his head.)
Diego De La Rosa: Espera…. I’m not liking what you are saying, chingon.
Richard Tracie P.I.: I am just here to do my job at the request of Ms. Street. You have a good relationship with her haven’t you Mr. De La Rosa?
Esmeralda De La Rosa: Careful, cuidado “Dick”, I don’t like your tone.
Richard Tracie P.I.: Excuse me, I didn’t mean that kind of relationship, sorry for any offense, but you have been asked to ‘do’ things for her have you not?
Roberto De La Rosa: Yeah, I have. But not to Kassidy Heart. Her and Kennedy are heinas, OK.
Richard Tracie P.I.: So, what about you?
Javier De La Rosa: Here we go, we know where this is going.
Richard Tracie P.I.: Really, enlighten me.
Javier de La Rosa: This is the part where you talk about our history yeah. Roberto’s history.
Roberto De La Rosa: You going to bring up the fact I was on the wrong side of the law more than once when I was younger?
Richard Tracie P.I.: Actually, I was more interested in your links to the Mexican Mafia. Honestly, I didn’t even realize they were a thing.
Roberto De La Rosa: Are you disrespecting me?
Richard Tracie P.I.: Not at all… but Mexican Mafia, come on. How do they kill people… with a Burrito?
(Roberto doesn’t rise to the statement, but it takes Esmeralda rubbing his arm to stop him from leaving the room.)
Richard Tracie P.I.: OK, I’m sorry, I’m sure they are for real. But then it only adds to my suspicions because let’s face it, if you are capable of making people sleep with the fishes… sorry, I’ve always wanted to say that. Then you are more than capable of this atrocity. If anyone in this company has a motive, and ambitions to get ahead, then it’s you. So, I put it to you Roberto, that you took out Ms. Heart so that you could ‘plough a path’ to the very top. Am I right?
(Richard Tracie P.I. truly believes that he has cracked the case. He has a hardened criminal sitting in front of him, and the family that would give him a cast iron alibi if he wanted it, no questions asked. Richard can already picture himself sitting on a beach with the huge paycheck he had been promised for cracking the case. He may even dig out the budgie smugglers for a rare outing.)
Roberto De La Rosa: No, I’m afraid you are not right.
Richard Tracie P.I.: Oh come on, you have very little morals, of course it’s you.
Roberto De La Rosa: No, I don’t, but it isn’t me
Richard Tracie P.I.: Even if you couldn’t do it alone, you have your back up sat with you now. Which makes you even more capable of the crime.
Roberto De La Rosa: Yes, I am capable, but it still wasn’t me.
Richard Tracie P.I.: OK then, where were you on the night of the attack?
Roberto De La Rosa: I’d rather not say
(For the first time, Roberto looks almost embarrassed.)
Richard Tracie P.I.: Tell me, now… or I swear, you’re going down for this
Roberto De La Rosa: OK, but you can’t tell anyone.
Esmeralda De La Rosa: Roberto!!!
Roberto De La Rosa: No, I have to, this is a matter of life and death. Muerte cabron.
(Richard leans forwards, this was it, the culmination of his greatest case, over in just two weeks.)
Roberto De La Rosa: We… well…. Don’t tell TLA, cabron but we were at Taco Bell.
Richard Tracie P.I.: Huh?
Roberto De La Rosa: yeah, that’s right… It was right before my match, and we were hungry, so we dipped out and got food. Closest place.
Richard Tracie P.I.: So you weren’t even in the arena?
Roberto De La Rosa: No, so I’m sorry, but you don’t have your hombre, can I go now?
(Richard shakes his head in disbelief.)
Richard Tracie P.I.: Damn you Taco Bell and your fine food
(The scene cuts away, and this time it is POTARA sitting in front of the desk, seemingly more than a little amused with the whole thing.)
Harper Lee: You gotta be kidding me, right?
Richard Tracie P.I.: As I have told all the suspects, this is not a laughing matter.
Harper Lee: Well, I’m here to tell you that the reality is, it’s hilarious.
Richard Tracie P.I.: You find it funny what happened to Ms. Heart.
Harper Lee: Bro, it’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. Because I’m not buying all this crap, she deserved what she got, and I’d love to shake the head of whoever did it.
(Holly intervenes worried that Harper is making her an even bigger suspect.)
Holly Arrow: I think what Harper is trying to say is that although we appreciate you have to ask everyone the same questions, when it comes to us, you are barking up the wrong tree.
Harper Lee: Pissing up the wrong tree more like
Holly Arrow: We do our business face to face, and we wouldn’t do this. Not without Kassidy knowing exactly the reasons why.
Richard Tracie P.I.: So, what do you think of Ms. Heart?
(Holly shrugs her shoulders, a little none-plussed with the question.)
Holly Arrow: Same as most people, she got what had been coming to her for the longest time. You play with fire, and eventually you’re going to get burned right?
Harper Lee: Yes, that’s what I would have done, set the bitch alight. Made a spectacle of it. Using a brick, that isn’t very classy you know. Not as she would burn seeing as she’s dead wood.
Holly Arrow: You’ll have to excuse my colleague; she has a flair for the dramatic.
Harper Lee: Like Guy Fawkes…
Richard Tracie P.I.: So, do you have an alibi?
Harper Lee: Not really, probably have to take our words for it.
Richard Tracie P.I.: That isn’t how an investigation works
Harper Lee: Then OK, ask Kassidy Heart herself if she thinks it would be something we’d do. I’ve won more than most here Dick…
Richard Tracie P.I.: My name is Richard
Harper Lee: Like I said Dick, I don’t need to lower myself to cowardly cheap shots anymore. Holly here has made me realize that I’m better than that.
Holly Arrow: We are trying to do better Richard…
Harper Lee: Holly jeez, guy already said call him Dick.
Richard Tracie P.I.: I really didn’t.
Holly Arrow: We don’t need to explain ourselves, because quite simply, it wasn’t us.
Harper Lee: We can’t stand the bitch. I wish that she had been put out for good. But if we were your woman, I can personally assure you that Kassidy would no longer be around to tell the tale, because I would have finished the job. If you ask me, whoever it was needs to do better.
Richard Tracie P.I.: Ok, so I think that is all… one final question.
Holly Arrow: Of course, anything we can do to help
Harper Lee: Well look at you being all Little Miss Suck Up.
Richard Tracie P.I.: Who do you think did it?
Harper Lee: You shitting me… that’s your job
Holly Arrow: We don’t know, you could always ask ARIA, they do the same line of work as you.
Richard Tracie P.I.: Yes, I will be speaking with them at some point.
(Harper leans in close, getting Richard’s attention, who leans still further forwards. Harper grabs his tie, and pulls him even closer, recoiling a little at the stench of cigarette on his breath.)
Harper Lee: My advice to you Dick…
Richard Tracie P.I.: It’s Richard
Harper Lee: Whatever. My advice, in any crime, is always the quiet ones, the ones making least noise. You find them, you’ll find your attacker.
Richard Tracie P.I.: Thank you, you’ve been very useful
(Camera cuts again, this time to show Richard outside, smoking a cigarette, Kennedy walking over and wafting away the smoke.)
Kennedy Street: So, are you any closer Honey… this is company money you know
Richard Tracie P.I.: You know what Ms. Street, I think I am. Today’s sessions were MOST enlightening.
Kennedy Street: They were?
(She seems genuinely shocked that he could possibly be getting anywhere.)
Richard Tracie P.I.: Yes. In fact, I do believe the net is closing.
(The camera pans close to Richard’s face, a flicker of a smile seen on his face.)
Richard Tracie P.I.: Closing it is…
(With yes, Richard sounding like Yoda, the scene slowly fades.)
(The camera returns to the ring where Gina Romano is standing with a microphone in hand, ready to start the introductions for the next contest.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest has a THIRTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT and is scheduled for… ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“It Follows” by Cane Hill starts to play as the negative, but not as negative as usual, reaction starts as Xander Payne enters the arena. Following closely behind is his Dominion partner Ryan Joseph Wilson. The team looks at each other and nods before heading to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! Being accompanied to the ring by Ryan Joseph Wilson. Representing DOMINION! From Toronto, Ontario, Canada! Weighing 255 pounds. Here is “THE BEST WRESTLER IN THE WORLD” XANDER PAYNE!
Deadprez: Here comes Dominion heading down to the ring as Xander Payne gets ready for singles action and as we heard earlier tonight, we know exactly what is on their minds.
Eve: We certainly do. They said last week, they were looking to make a statement and statement they made at the end of last week’s show. Tonight, Xander faces off against one of the men who he cleared the ring off when Ms. Extreme was being attacked.
Gavin Kirkland: Xander Payne is a Hall of Famer and very talented in the ring, but his opponent is very opportunistic and will take complete advantage of the situation if Xander takes his eye off the ball.
( Xander enters the ring and Ryan takes his place at ringside as his music fades off. Moments later, “Paint it Black” by The Rolling Stones starts to play as Jon Kelton enters the arena to loud boos from the crowd. Following behind Jon is Londyn Zelaya as they start to head to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing his opponent! Accompanied to the ring by Londyn Zelaya. Residing in Dallas, Texas. Weighing in at 210 pounds. Here is “THE CHOSEN ONE” JON KELTON!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes Xander’s opposition and Kelton feels like he is on the cusp of something great in his career right now and he believes what he did last week will help further his cause.
Eve: He didn’t make very many friends after turning his back on Donovan Duke and aiding Amir and Pandora in beating down Ms. Extreme, but he really doesn’t care. Kelton wants to become World Champion one way or another.
Deadprez: Kelton could easily make a good case should he beat Xander Payne here tonight. Kelton has improved by leaps and bounds over the last few years and tonight could be one of the biggest wins of his career. He should be careful. Xander is tough and will make it a tough night for The Chosen One.
(Kelton enters the ring as Londyn takes her place at ringside. Kelton gives a glance over to Xander before taking his corner and his entrance music fades off. The referee checks both competitors before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: Here we go! Main event match is underway! Jon Kelton and Xander Payne one on one. The two men lock up in the center of the ring and Xander Payne takes the early advantage with a side headlock.
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton is trying to get free by throwing a few elbows to the side and Xander releases Kelton. Kelton turns around and throws a forearm in Xander’s face that sends Xander back.
Eve: Kelton throws another few forearms and sends Xander to the ropes. Kelton tries to whip Xander, but Xander uses his power advantage to counter and send Kelton for the ride. Kelton comes back as Xander puts his head down–
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON WITH A BOOT RIGHT TO THE FACE AND THAT FLUNG XANDER BACK! Kelton backs up and hits the ropes again to get more power as he comes back AND TAKES XANDER DOWN WITH A LARIAT!
Deadprez: Kelton mounts Xander AND JUST STARTS THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHTS AS XANDER BLOCKS AS MANY SHOTS HAS HE CAN! Xander manages to shove Kelton off him as they both get back to their feet.
Eve: Kelton fires off a clothesline, BUT XANDER DUCKS IT! Xander gets a waistlock AND DROPS KELTON WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! THE BACK OF KELTON’S HEAD CRASHES AGAINST THE MAT!
Deadprez: Kelton landed hard on the mat as Xander gets up and just starts delivering boots to Kelton. Kelton tries to get out of the way, but all he can do is roll over to the ropes and force a break.
Eve: To be honest, neither one of these competitors are exactly what you would call the most popular within the EAW Locker Rooms, but neither of them really care. They are here to make statements and do it in any way they can.
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton has rolled out onto the apron to catch a breather, but Xander doesn’t feel like waiting and he grabs the back of Kelton’s neck like he’s picking up a wet cat and BRINGS HIM BACK INTO THE RING THE HARD WAY!
Deadprez: Kelton’s back crashes hard on the mat. Xander pulls Kelton back to his feet and whips him into the corner. Xander follows closely behind AND FIRE OFF A STIFF CHOP RIGHT TO KELTON’S CHEST!
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GAWD! That chop could have popped my eardrum since we were so close. Keltong starts to fall in the corner, but Xander isn’t going to let that happen. Xander pulls him back up and pushes him back into the corner–
Deadprez: ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP FROM XANDER! ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! Kelton just became a victim of Machine Gun Chops by Xander Payne. AND XANDER IS STILL GOING!
Gavin Kirkland: The referee has allowed enough leeway and now they have started a count. The referee reaches four and Xander stops the chops. Holy cow, normally chests turn red after those chops–-
Eve: Kelton’s chest is starting to turn PURPLE in various places after all those chops and Xander pulls him out of the corner and locks Kelton’s head before lifting him up in the air.
Gavin Kirkland: Power on display by Xander Payne as he has held Kelton up in the air for a good amount of time BEFORE XANDER BRINGS HIM DOWN FOR THE VERTICAL SUPLEX-
Deadprez: KELTON GOT FREE AT THE VERY LAST SECOND AND KELTON LANDS ON THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE AND XANDER CRASHES TO THE FLOOR! Kelton gets his footing on the second rope.
Eve: Now Xander is back on his feet and he turns around, BUT HE IS MET WITH KELTON JUMPING OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH THE METEORA! The knees to the face and chest take Xander back down to the mat.
Deadprez: Kelton tried to hook the leg for the cover, but Xander rolled through and prevented a pinfall attempt. Xander was trying to get back to his feet, BUT KELTON CLOBBERS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A FOREARM!
Eve: Xander stumbles into the ropes AND WHAT IN THE WORLD IS LONDYN DOING?
Gavin Kirkland: LONDYN WAS TRYING TO GRAB XANDER’S ANKLE, BUT WHEN SHE TRIED, RYAN WAS RIGHT THERE TO STOP HER BEFORE IT WAS ABLE TO HAPPEN!
Ryan Joseph Wilson: (off-mic) WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?
Deadprez: Londyn was called out by Ryan and she puts her hands up in surrender and starts to back off and walk away. I highly doubt this will be the last time that these two will have an impact regarding this match.
Gavin Kirkland: But that attempt was enough to catch Xander off guard AND KELTON TAKES ADVANTAGE WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND THAT SENDS XANDER OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR!
Deadprez: Leave it to Jon Kelton to take advantage of a situation like this and turn the match in his favor. Xander is out on the floor and Kelton gets on the apron. Xander is making it back to his feet AND KELTON JUMPS OFF THE APRON–
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER CAUGHT HIM! KELTON IS IN XANDER’S GRASP AND XANDER SLAMS KELTON ON THE FLOOR WITH THE BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! GREAT COUNTER BY THE HALL OF FAMER!
Eve: Kelton is holding his back in pain after that impact of the suplex on the floor and now Xander is on the apron looking down at Kelton. Xander motions at Londyn to watch what he is about to do very closely.
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER COMES OFF THE APRON AND SMASHES KELTON WITH A SENTON FROM THE APRON! KELTON CERTAINLY FELT THAT ONE AS DID THE REST OF US BECAUSE THE WHOLE BUILDING SHOOK AFTER THAT MOVE!
Deadprez: Will you stop, Gavin? Don’t be rude. Weight jokes are very low blows and this has been a hard hitting match thus far. Anyways, Xander did take a little bit of damage with that senton as the referee has started the count.
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE!
Eve: Xander is sitting up at the moment as Jon has barely started to move after the senton. We can also see both Ryan and Londyn yelling and rooting their respective partners on as they try to get back to their feet.
Referee: (off-mic) FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
Deadprez: Xander has made it back to his feet but he is holding his back in pain after the landing as he heads to the ring in the hopes of breaking the count. Kelton has still not made it back to his feet.
Referee: (off-mic) SEVEN!
Eve: XANDER MAKES IT BACK INTO THE RING AND BREAKS THE COUNT! But he rolls right back outside the ring to get back to Kelton and that forces the referee to restart the count.
Xander brings Kelton the rest of the way up to his feet and rolls him back into the ring.
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton has made it to his knees as Xander gets back into the ring. Xander is eyeing Kelton’s knee and HE LOOKS TO STOMP ON THAT JOINT, BUT KELTON ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND!
Deadprez: Xander tries to stomp on his arm now AND KELTON ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AGAIN! Xander now hits the ropes AND TRIES FOR A LEG DROP, BUT KELTON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AGAIN AND CRASHES AGAINST THE CANVAS!
Gavin Kirkland: You know with that landing, he might have broken a board or two under the ring. Be that as it may, Kelton has made it back to his feet and he hits the ropes as Xander recovers AND DELIVERS A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF XANDER’S NECK!
Deadprez: ENOUGH OF THOSE REMARKS, GAVIN! Xander falls back and Kelton hits the ropes. Kelton springs up to the second rope AND HE GOES FOR THE MOONSAULT, BUT XANDER ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND—
Gavin Kirkland: BUT KELTON LANDED ON HIS FEET! It was almost like Kelton knew that Xander would roll out of the way. Xander is back up to his feet and comes running to Kelton AND KELTON CATCHES HIM AND PLANTS HIM WITH THAT MODIFIED SIDEWALK SLAM!
Eve: Nice counter by Jon Kelton as Kelton drags Xander over to the corner and Kelton climbs up to the high rent district that is the top rope. Kelton doesn’t fly very often, but when he does, it’s usually for something big.
Gavin Kirkland: Some people would say the biggest thing in the match is…. Nevermind. Kelton is finding his footing on the top rope before he decides to fly–
Deadprez: XANDER WAS PLAYING POSSUM! XANDER MOVES BACK AND CRASHES AGAINST THE ROPES AND THAT CAUSES KELTON TO LOSE HIS BALANCE AND LAND CROTCH FIRST ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Eve: Not a good landing right there and Xander is now climbing onto the second rope and we have a fight on the ropes. Xander with a facelock as he tries to plant Kelton once more, BUT LONDYN ZELAYA IS ON THE APRON! WHAT IS SHE DOING NOW?
Deadprez: LOOK AT THIS! RYAN JOSEPH WILSON YANKS LONDYN OFF THE APRON AND THESE TWO ARE NOW YELLING AT THE EACH OTHER ON THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF US!
Londyn Zelaya: (off-mic) WHAT IN THE WORLD IS YOUR PROBLEM? WHY ARE YOU PUTTING YOUR HANDS ON ME?
Ryan Joseph Wilson: (off-mic) Why are you trying to cheat?
Referee: (off-mic) THAT’S ENOUGH FROM YOU TWO! OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE RING! NOW! OR I WILL THROW YOU BOTH OUT!
Eve: Well there you have it! The referee is doing some preemptive measures and telling both Londyn and Ryan to stick to their neutral corners or they will find themselves both ejected from ringside.
Gavin Kirkland: Meanwhile, Jon and Xander are still fighting in the corner and now that the respective associates are back on their respective sides of the ring. Xander has been trying to take Kelton down, but Kelton has been blocking it!
Deadprez: Kelton has been firing shots to the ribs in the hopes of knocking Xander off the ropes and sending him crashing back down to the floor. These two have been fighting left and right in hopes of gaining the advantage over the other–
Gavin Kirkland: HEADBUTT BY XANDER PAYNE! AND THEN ANOTHER! I’m not sure who is dizzier after those headbutts: Jon or Xander. Both men look a little worse for wear, but it looks like Xander took less damage from the headbutts.
Deadprez: He reapplies the facelook and Kelton is not fighting back AS HE LIFTS KELTON AND XANDER TAKES KELTON DOWN WITH A POWERFUL SUPERPLEX AND BOTH MEN WERE FEELING IT!
Gavin Kirkland: Both men are down and the referee looks to start another count, but Xander rolls over and crawls over to Kelton and hooks the leg for the cover. Will the superplex be enough?
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!
Eve: JON KELTON KICKS OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE THREE COUNT! The superplex doesn’t normally finish off a match for Xander Payne, but it honestly could have since this was actually the first cover of the match.
Gavin Kirkland: Seriously? THAT was the first cover of the match. With all this stuff that has been going on in this match, you would think that there would have been more pinfall attempts in this match.
Deadprez: This has been a great match that has been nonstop action this entire match. Both these men are former Champions in EAW and these two both know that it was going to take a lot of damage to put the other away.
Eve: Xander is back to his feet and he brings Kelton back to his feet and whips him into the corner. Xander comes running at full speed AND HE SPLASHES KELTON IN THE CORNER! KELTON JUST CRASHES AND FALLS INTO THE CORNER!
Deadprez: Kelton is sitting in the corner and Xander backs up once more. This time he is looking for a more impactful move AS HE RUNS FULL SPEED LIKE A STEAM ENGINE AS HE STARTS TO SOMERSAULT IN FOR HEATWAVE! CANNONBALL ON THE WAY–
Eve: KELTON ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND AND XANDER PAYNE CRASHES AND BURNS IN THE CORNER UPSIDE DOWN BEFORE CRASHING ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD IN THE CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton takes a quick second to catch a breather as Xander is still all topsy turvy in the corner after that ugly landing. Now Kelton is back on his feet as Xander is crawling out of the corner.
Deadprez: Xander is crawling back to the center of the ring BUT KELTON CAUGHT HIM! Kelton has Xander in a powerbomb position and wraps his arms around Xander’s waist as tight as he can BEFORE HE JUMPS AND FLIPS OVER–
Gavin Kirkland: CANADIAN DESTROYER BY JON KELTON AND XANDER PAYNE WAS SPIKED RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! I would say that was rubbing a little salt in the wound using a Canadian Destroyer, but Kelton was born in Canada as well.
Deadprez: The force of the Canadian Destroyer actually sent Xander right back to his feet, but there is no doubt that he is dazed. Kelton gets behind Xander and pulls him back BEFORE PLANTING HIM FACE FIRST WITH THAT ROLLING CUTTER! XANDER’S FACE BOUNCED OFF THE MAT AS KELTON GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER MANAGES TO GET THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO! NEAR FALL BY JON KELTON! Those two high damaging moves to the head have to cause some damage to Xander and that might be exactly what Kelton is planning.
Eve: We knew this was going to be a hard hitting match and we have not been disappointed. This has been an amazing match. Xander is still down on the mat and Kelton once again picks up Xander and puts him in the powerbomb position.
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON IS TRYING TO GET XANDER UP FOR A POWERBOMB, BUT XANDER LOOKS TO BE BLOCKING IT! Kelton is trying again, but he can’t fully get Xander up. NOW KELTON IS JUST CLOBBERING XANDER’S BACK TO WEAKEN XANDER’S RESOLVE!
Deadprez: There is a good forty pound weight difference between the two and it might just be an impossible feat for Kelton to get him up for the powerbomb, BUT KELTON IS GOING TO TRY IT AGAIN! KELTON TRYING FOR THE POWERBOMB ONE MORE TIME–
Eve: KELTON HAS XANDER UP IN THE AIR FOR THE POWERBOMB! XANDER IS UP AND HE JUST GOT DROPPED WITH A POWERBOMB BY KELTON! KELTON LIFTS HIM UP FOR A SECOND POWERBOMB AND HE BARELY GETS HIM UP BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH A SECOND POWERBOMB!
Deadprez: STRENGTH ON DISPLAY BY JON KELTON! NOW HE’S TRYING TO LIFT XANDER UP FOR THE TRIFECTA OF POWERBOMBS, BUT XANDER BLOCKS THE THIRD ONE AND ROLLS OUT OF THE POWERBOMB! Xander is back to his feet and fires off a SUPERKICK RIGHT TO THE JAW!
Eve: KELTON WAS ROCKED BUT HE IS STILL ON HIS FEET, BUT XANDER PAYNE COMES BACK AND HITS KELTON RIGHT IN THE THROAT WITH A PALM STRIKE! OVERDOSE BY XANDER PAYNE!
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton is holding his throat in pain as Xander whips him into the corner again AND CATCHES KELTON WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO THE THROAT! Kelton once again falls into the sitting position in the corner.
Deadprez: Xander Payne backs up one more time and once again at full speed. XANDER TRIES TO FLIP ONCE AGAIN AND THIS TIME HEATWAVE CONNECTS! A 255 POUND CANNONBALL COMPLETELY CRUSHES JON IN THE CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: Jon does not look like he is moving in the corner, but Xander is fine with that. Xander grabs Jon by the boot and drags his lifeless body out of the corner and to the center of the ring and goes for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEE!
Deadprez: HOW IN THE WORLD DID JON KELTON KICK OUT OF THAT! KELTON WAS CRUSHED IN THE CORNER WITH THAT CANNONBALL AND HE STILL MANAGED TO GET THE SHOULDER UP RIGHT BEFORE THE THREE COUNT!
Gavin Kirkland: These are willing to throw whatever they have to in order to walk away from this match victorious. The competition is always hot and heavy here on the blue brand of Showdown!
Eve: Xander is back to his feet and Kelton has not moved ever since kicking out of the Heatwave and Xander is proud of his work so far. Xander reaches down and grabs Kelton’s wrist.
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER PULLS KELTON UP BY HIS WRIST AND HOISTS HIM INTO THE AIR! XANDER HAS HIM UP FOR THE DAWNBREAKER SUPLEX! SAITO SUPLEX IS ON THE WAY–
Deadprez: KELTON THROWS SOME ELBOWS INTO XANDER’S HEAD AND MANAGES TO GET FREE! HE LANDS BEHIND XANDER! XANDER TURNS AROUND AND IS MET WITH A KICK TO THE GUT! KELTON LOCKS UP XANDER’S HEAD AND HOOKS BOTH ARMS BEFORE SWINGING A LEG BACK—
Eve: KELTON HITS THE HAKAI! FUTURE SHOCK DDT CONNECTS AND XANDER WAS PLANTED RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! XANDER IS NOT MOVING AS KELTON ROLLS HIM OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER GOT HIS SHOULDER UP AT THE LAST MOMENT! THAT WAS SO CLOSE AND JON IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT! But Kelton knows that gives him a chance to put an exclamation point on this match.
Deadprez: That’s exactly what it looks like he is going for. Kelton goes over to the corner and crouches down! That only means one thing! HE’S SETTING UP FOR THE FINAL ATONEMENT! IF KELTON HITS HIS SPEAR, THIS MATCH IS OVER!
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton is calling for Xander to get back to his feet. He is still feeling the after effects of the DDT, but Xander has made it back to his feet AND HERE COMES KELTON AT FULL SPEED! FINAL ATONEMENT ON THE WAY–
Eve: XANDER PAYNE AVOIDS THE SPEAR! KELTON TURNS AROUND AND XANDER PAYNE WITH A HEADBUTT AND THAT MIGHT HAVE KNOCKED JON KELTON OUT COLD! Now Xander grabs Jon and whips him to the ropes. Kelton comes back and XANDER LIFTS HIM UP IN THE AIR–
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER WENT FOR LAST SEDATION. THE POP UP POWERBOMB! BUT KELTON MANAGES TO COUNTER INTO A HEADSCISSORS THAT SENDS XANDER FOR THE RIDE! KELTON FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A DROPKICK AND THAT SENDS XANDER THROUGH THE ROPES!
Deadprez: Nice move by Jon Kelton and Xander is outside the ring and on the floor. Xander is trying to get his bearings about him…. WHAT IS LONDON ZELAYA DOING?
Eve: SHE’S CLIMBING UP ON THE APRON! KELTON HAS THE REFEREE DISTRACTED SO THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT’S GOING ON! XANDER IS BACK TO HIS FEET AND LONDYN COMES OFF THE APRON AND CATCHES XANDER WITH WHAT SHE CALLS THE “PLAN B”!
Deadprez: WHAT A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE FROM LONDYN ZELAYA FROM OFF THE APRON AND THAT CAUGHT XANDER PAYNE RIGHT ON THE BUTT OF THE JAW AND XANDER GOES DOWN TO THE FLOOR!
Eve: HERE COMES RYAN AND HE WANTS TO GET HIS HANDS ON LONDYN ZELAYA AFTER INTERFERING IN THIS MATCH AND LONDYN IS BACKING AWAY AS FAST AS SHE CAN BECAUSE SHE KNOWS THAT SHE IS IN TROUBLE!
Deadprez: LONDYN HAS BEEN NEUTRALIZED FOR NOW AS XANDER PAYNE MAKE IT BACK TO HIS FEET AFTER TAKEN DOWN BY LONDYN’S PLAN B KNEE STRIKE! HE HAS HIS BACK TO THE RING AND HE HAS NO IDEA THAT KELTON IS READY TO STRIKE–
Gavin Kirkland: JON KELTON GOES FLYING AND KELTON WITH A KNEE STRIKE OF HIS OWN OFF THE APRON AND THAT ROCKS XANDER PAYNE AND SENDS HIM RIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE BUT HE IS STILL ON HIS FEET!
Deadprez: HE IS AND HE DOES NOT LOOK HAPPY! XANDER IS GLARING AT KELTON WHILE HOLDING HIS JAW AND HE JUST CLOCK KELTON IN THE FACE WITH A STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND! KELTON ROCKED, BUT HE COMES BACK WITH A RIGHT HAND OF HIS OWN!
Gavin Kirkland: NOW WE HAVE A BRAWL AND THINGS ARE JUST BREAKING DOWN NOW! THESE TWO ARE HAULING OFF AND BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF EACH OTHER! JON AND XANDER ARE JUST PUNCHING EACH OTHER IN THE FACE!
Eve: We had a feeling this was going to happen. Now the referee is outside the ring and they are doing whatever they can to get them back into the ring
(The referee is trying to break up the fight between Jon and Xander on the outside. They are trying to get in between the two, BUT BOTH MEN SHOVE THE REFEREE DOWN!)
Deadprez: WELL HOW DO YOU DO? THE REFEREE TRIED TO BREAK THINGS UP AND THEY WERE JUST SHOVED DOWN ONTO THEIR KEISTER AND DID NOT LIKE THAT ONE BIT!
(The referee is sitting on the ringside floor stunned that they were just treated like that, but they realize that this match is out of control and they are left with only one thing left to do.)
Referee: (off-mic) ALRIGHT, THAT’S IT! RING THE BELL! THIS MATCH IS OVER!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The referee calls for the bell after they have lost all control. Ryan is still backing down Londyn as Jon and Xander are still fighting as the referee quickly tells Gina Romano the final decision of the match.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has officially ruled this match… A NO CONTEST!
(The crowd starts to boo after hearing Gina announce the decision, but Xander and Jon do not care as they continue to keep fighting as the referee tries to break them up.)
Deadprez: I can’t say that I am surprised that we got a result like this.
(The crowd immediately starts booing as Amir Yusuf and Pandora Paisley jog down to the ring to turn the odds.)
Gavin Kirkland: HERE COME THE REINFORCEMENTS! AMIR AND PANDORA ARE SPRINTING DOWN TO THE RING AND RYAN HAS NO CLUE THAT THEY ARE HERE!
Eve: Amir and Pandora are at ringside AND THEY ARE ATTACKING RYAN JOSEPH WILSON! RYAN IS DOWN AND LONDYN IS GETTING THE HECK OUT OF DODGE!
Gavin Kirkland: Kennedy Street has a plan in action and Amir and Pandora know exactly what they need to do and they are doing their job well. Now we have a three on two advantage with Kelton, Amir, and Pandora over Dominion.
(The crowd starts to wildly cheer as Ms. Extreme runs down to the ring.)
Deadprez: HERE COMES THE REAL REINFORCEMENT! MS. EXTREME IS HERE AND SHE IS RUNNING RIGHT TOWARDS PANDORA AND AMIR!
Eve: HERE SHE IS AND SHE YANKS PANDORA BY THE HAIR RIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND NOW THE NUMBERS ARE EVEN ON BOTH SIDES!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT AMIR IS RIGHT THERE TRYING TO SAVE AND DEFEND HIS FRIEND PANDORA, BUT RYAN WILSON INTERJECTS HIMSELF INTO THIS BRAWL AND TACKLES AMIR INTO THE BARRICADE!
Deadprez: The numbers are even on both sides and we have a three on three melee on the outside and Londyn is doing the smartest thing possible and keeping her distant, lest she get a fat lip from Camille.
(The crowd is cheering loudly at the sight of this fight, but it immediately goes back to boos as soon as more EAW Officials and Security run down to ringside to get law and order back.)
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
(The officials are pulling the six competitors apart, but they are having a heck of time keeping them apart.)
Eve: Now we have security and more officials out here trying to keep these six apart, but it’s no shock that the crowd doesn’t like this one bit.
Gavin Kirkland: Kennie can’t risk anybody getting injured before Grand Rampage and the officials are doing their job of protecting the Showdown Elitists.
Eve: From the looks of things, this is nowhere near close to being the end of this story. No doubt about it.
Deadprez: The officials and security are doing everything they can to keep these six away from each other and I apologize for this language, but this will NOT be the last time we see these six just beat the hell out of each other. Who knows what else will happen as we head to Grand Rampage. We hate to leave this brawl, but we must take our final commercial break of the evening. Coming up next we have the contract signing between Jake Smith and Alex Myers. We will be right back.
(The final shot shows officials and security try their best to keep the six individuals from continuing to beat the heck out of each other, even though they are still clawing and fighting to get at each other as the camera cuts to the final commercial break of the night.)
(Showdown returns from commercial break and Heidi Huxley is already in the ring with the contracts. There is a table set up as Gina Romano stands with the mic.)
Gina Romano: This is the contract signing for the Answers World Championship at Grand Rampage! Let me introduce to you at this time, the challenger… ALEX MYERS!
(“Pressure” by Paramore starts to play throughout the arena as the fans stand up and cheer. Alex Myers walks out with Willow, but they turn to her and whisper something in her ear. Willow nods and walks to the back as Alex makes their way toward the ring.)
Deadprez: The challenger is coming out and they have chosen not to have Willow with them, an interesting decision, but if anyone looks ready to take the next step in their career, it is Alex Myers.
Eve: They really are and Alex knows how important this match is to their career, they will fight to the bitter end if they have to, the question will be, is Jake Smith ready for it.
Gavin Kirkland: Jake Smith is always ready for it; he knows the talent Alex has.
(Alex Myers is in the ring, he sits as Heidi does greet them. The theme dies down and it is replaced with “WAR” by Grandson.)
Gina Romano: Now the Answers World Champion….. JAKE SMITH!
(Jake walks down to the ring proud and with the Answers World Championship. He looks confident, as he heads into the ring and poses.)
Deadprez: The Answers World Champion is here, and everyone knows that he is ready to get through this at Grand Rampage!
Eve: Jake has been on a roll lately and I know that nothing is going to stop him from trying to fend off a very dangerous Alex Myers.
Gavin Kirkland: Jake is our champion, everyone needs to learn in loving it, or leaving it!
(Jake gets in the ring, he sits down across from Alex, the title positioned right between them.)
Heidi Huxley: Okay, at Grand Rampage, by authority of Kennedy Street, our INCREDIBLE General Manager, this Answers World Championship match will be one of the featured Main Events for Showdown! As we know, Alex Myers won the Fatal Five-Way at Reasonable Doubt to earn the opportunity to become the Answers World Champion. I will let Alex speak first.
(Heidi turns to Alex Myers who grabs the mic and sits back, glaring right at Jake Smith.)
Alex Myers: You know what, Jake, not going to lie, you let that title get to your head. For a small period of time, you were actually humble. Realized that this business is unforgiving and it takes time to succeed, though some see it faster. You were the butt of many jokes until you started to turn things around and the fans started to see the real Jake Smith, right? Or that is what they thought, that is what all of us thought and then what did you do? That’s right, you ended up turning your back on them and showing everyone your true colors.
(The crowd cheers after Alex says that. Jake though does not look impressed.)
Alex Myers: You were someone to look up to for people that continued to bust their asses over and never made it to the top. I was in the back cheering you when Road to Redemption was in full swing. Everyone in the back was jumping up and down when you cashed in that CiTV and became the Answers World Champion, but it didn’t last long, did it, Jake? When you got that gold, when that shine caught your eyes, that was it. There was no turning back, then we saw the real Jake, the guy who cheated while PURE Champion, the scumbag that played women for a $12 bet, the constant little sniveling rat snake who took every advantage possible, your epiphany lasted a few good months but that title, like it does many others? Gave you that false courage. At Grand Rampage? I’m going to take it, but unlike you Jake, I refuse to allow it to change who I am or what I will do with it. All I know, is after I sign this, I will be the Answers World Champion!
(The fans erupt in cheers as Alex takes the pen form Heidi and signs the contract, sliding it over to Jake who is again not impressed with Alex Myers.)
Heidi Huxley: Jake Smith, the contract has been signed by Alex Myers, a few words from you and the contract.
(Jake reads over the contract and nods, he doesn’t say anything and signs it, before he gives it back to Heidi.)
Heidi Huxley: It is official, Jake Smith will defend his Answers World Championship against none other than Alex Myers at the Grand Rampage!
(The cheering continue as Alex nods, but Jake has the mic. He extends his hand out to shake, Alex though doesn’t and is hesitant.)
Jake Smith: Go ahead and shake my hand. See, that was a good speech by you, Alex, not gonna lie. The problem is you just don’t get it. Alex, this isn’t black and white, cut, and dry, this is an interpretation of reality. It is easy for you to judge me since I’m the champion, but you haven’t been here half the time I had been going through the constant torment of coming close but never making it to the top. You’re like so many others in this company that do not understand what it takes to be the World Champion, but the thing is, Alex? I don’t blame you. I’m not going to hate you for thinking this way and the only reason why? Is because you will never walk in my shoes. Here’s the thing Alex, I’m not going to hold that against you because to be the champion, you need to beat the champion. And I don’t know if you have what it takes to do it, but what I am willing to do is have a match for the ages, where everyone can watch in awe and we can steal the show. Now shake my hand and let us seal the deal. Be a man…. I mean sorry… be a THEM.
(Jake smiles and continues to extend his hand as the crowd “oooh’s” after that wise crack. Alex doesn’t look happy, but they shake Jake’s hand. Jake nods when he pulls Alex into him with a clothesline….)
Deadprez JAKE SMITH WITH A SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE BUT NO! ALEX MYERS DUCKS AND THEY BRING JAKE IN SUDDEN TRAUMA! JAKE IS DOWN! HEID HUXLEY GETS OUT OF THE RING!
Eve: ALEX GRABS JAKE AND THROWS HIM ON TOP OF THE TABLE! JAKE IS TRYING TO GET HIS WITS END AND ALEX CLIMBS THE TOP ROPE, THEY LOOK OUT AT THE CROWD AS THE FANS CHEER THEM ON AND…..
(CRASH!!!!)
Gavin Kirkland: ANGELIC BLESSING!!!! ALEX JUST CRASHED THROUGHT THE TABLE AND HAS LAID JAKE SMITH OUT! WHAT A MOVE AND THE STADIUM IS RUMBLING WITH ALL THESE INBREDS CHEERING ALEX MYERS!
Deadprez: WE ARE OUT OF TIME! BUT WE WILL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK IN THE HOME OF EAW… NEWARK, NEW JERSEY! GOODNIGHT EVERYONE!
(Alex Myers slowly stands up and grabs the Answers World Championship, glaring at the face plate, they hold the title up as “Pressure” by Paramore starts to play throughout the arena. Heidi Huxley doesn’t look happy; she grits her teeth while Alex holds up the title and points to the sky.)
