(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of everything that happened in last week’s Super Showdown. TLA talks about spending the rest of the season on Showdown, as well as promising he is going to win the Grand Rampage Match and become world champ yet again. Daniella ends up beating Ashlynn as a brawl ends up breaking out and Veena is the one standing tall. ARIA has an interview with Mikaela Street talking about what happened last week, what she is planning to do and how she just has to win the Grand Rampage match. Damien Kutcher and Michael Machine have a back and forth on who will walk out as New Breed Champion. Jon Kelton defeats Jane Chrissty. Terry Chambers once again solidifies that he will be able to win Grand Rampage, with Kirk interrupting him once more and throwing doubt on his plans. Solomon Stane defeats Adam Lucas by DQ due to interferance from Bethany and now Solomon and Caroline can choose the stipulation for their tag match. KASAI talks about her match for the Specialists Championship, with Cornelius arriving and giving her an invitation to a tea party with Bea. Usagi arrives at the arena, still angry about how unlucky she has been the past months, she wrecks everything she can see and she is told by Alana that if she wants her opportunity, she can show it and get it at the Grand Rampage. Daryl Kinkade defeats Clayton Golde and he is suddenly attacked by Jon Kelton after his match. Halsey Neel and Pandora Paisley come out so Pandora can rub her victory over ARIA and also promise they will take the Unified Tag Team Championships as well, with NICHOLISM coming out after and going out in a full brawl with them. Scott Diamond enters Kennedy’s office, wanting to enter the Grand Rampage match with the chance of being able to turn his season around, and Kennedy gives him the opportunity. And in the main event, Cy Henderson versus Miku Sakai ends in a no contest as Raven and Chef Viz interfere and everyone just starts brawling with each other.)
(The recap ends, and it is replaced with the song “Brick Wall” by a Day to Remember, as the camera pans around the inside of Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. Fiireworks are shooting out of the stage and the whole crowd can be seen cheering and being excited for the show. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators.)
Eve: WELCOME EVERYONE… TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!!!
Deadprez: WE ARE JUST ONE WEEK AWAY FROM ONE OF THE MOST CHAOTIC MARQUEE EVENTS THAT WE HAVE ON THE SEASON, THE GRAND RAMPAGE!
Gavin Kirkland: AND WHAT WE HAVE TODAY FOR YOU ARE-…wait, we don’t have matches tonight.
Eve: We will still have time to hear thoughts on all of the Showdown Elitists that are going to be participating in the event!
Deadprez: And to kick us off, we have Cy Henderson and our Answers World Champion-
(“shut the fuck up talking to me” by Zack Fox immediately starts playing and the crowd reacts in a very mixed manner as always, the cameras slowly turning in towards the stage and once again, the Answers World Champion, Big V himself, quickly rushed out into the entrance ramp and then he stood there with a gigantic smile on his face.)
Gavin Kirkland: HAHAHAHAHAAAA! EVEN MY CHEF IS INTERRUPTING YOU DEADPREZ, THAT IS MY ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION, HELL YEAH!
Deadprez: I wonder if I have enough money to be able to retire from this job.
Gavin Kirkland: Wait, I wouldn’t have anybody else to banter with then! Eve just doesn’t play along!
Eve: It is true, because you know, we are in the JOB!
Gavin Kirkland: You can’t do a job if you can’t have fun!
Deadprez: Moving on… we have our Answers World Champion right now coming out just one week away from his very important match against Cy Henderson himself, the two of them have had a fairly short but also very impactful past, with Cy being one of the only few who have been able to give Chef Viz a draw this whole season, the two have been going back and forth, giving it their all on the microphone to try and take down the other person in the mental game, we just have to see if someone will end up cracking just one week before.
(Chef Viz slowly took off the championship from his waist and then raised it high up in the air for the crowd to continue to react in a mixed way, Chef Viz didn’t really give a damn about how everyone else reacted as he just put the championship on his shoulder and continued walking down the ramp while ignoring the crowd. He snatched a microphone once he arrived at ringside and then he hopped onto the ring apron, walked through the ropes and then without wasting any time-)
Chef Viz: Cut my music.
(Chef Viz’s music quickly gets cut off and he lets out a tired sigh.)
Chef Viz: Let’s not make anymore tension that we need to, just bring Vanilla Cy out already.
(Chef Viz crossed his arms to his chest and waited patiently before finally-)
(“Tupac Back” by Meek Mill and Rick Ross started playing on the speakers and the crowd started going crazy as once again, Cy Henderson came out from the curtains once again raising his arms up and trying to get the crowd hyped up for the confrontation that was just about to happen, but he stopped once he turned towards the ring and his smile quickly turned into a serious expression seeing Viz standing there with his usual smile.)
Deadprez: No love lost at all from these two, huh?
Eve: For sure, we are wondering right now what is running through Cy Henderson’s mind as he looks towards Chef Viz in the ring, it seemed inevitable that he was going to continue dealing with his antics and at point it was going to get under his skin, he isn’t looking away at all from him as Cy stands there in the ramp.
(Cy stood there for a few seconds before nodding to himself and then rushing down the ramp, spreading out his arms a bit to high five a few of the people extending their hands out before he ended up sliding through inside of the ring and got up to look Chef Viz dead in the eyes. Cy slowly got the microphone out from his pockets and then he crossed his arms as his music got cut off and the two stared at each other for a few seconds in silence, before Chef Viz spoke up.)
Chef Viz: Do you have a problem with me, Cyclone?
Cy Henderson: I have various problems with you if I do say so myself.
Chef Viz: You want to find out what the secret recipes for my cuisine are? You want to end up becoming my right hand man in the chef world? You want to put meat in somewhere that it shouldn’t be in?!
Cy Henderson: Huh?
Chef Viz: There is a lot of Chef Viz to spread around, but despite popular belief, I am more around the women’s side if I do say so myself-
Cy Henderson: What the hell are you talking about?
Chef Viz: Because it feels like you are obsessed with me! Good work on getting the title opportunity, a big round of applause and you get a gold star for all of the efforts but everything that we have seen so far from you this whole time, you have always tried to throw the first punch, you have always tried to claim yourself as Steve Rogers in every situation, when all you are is just an old sad sack piece of shit without the movies and trophies behind it, you have to scramble out on the street for money so someone could get you a hair transplant, you are bothering me and the rest of this whole company for some empty one last run, and for what? I am still mad about everything that you have done, I am still confused and racking my head wondering why the hell did you end up screwing me in the match against the redneck scandal risk version of Scott Diamond, and for what? Just so you could get your five minutes of fame with Chef Viz, and now you want MORE? I don’t like you in any way Cyclone, not one bit, you are the only man this whole season that tried to make the people doubt on the Chef himself, tried to make it seem like I was washed and I could only cook stinky fast food, but I ended up recovering, I ended up rising back to the spot where I am supposed to be despite all of your failed attempts at that, and now you want to come back to try and finish what? You ain’t finishing the job, you ain’t finishing either the plate that I am giving, all you are finishing is licking the fingers of my fist when I punch it right in your mouth, BAM!
(Chef Viz throws a fake punch almost making it seem like he was going to hit but he doesn’t, he laughs to himself since he did it to make Cy flinch but Cy barely moved a muscle as he cleared his throat and then began speaking back.)
Cy Henderson: You are a delusional man in every sense of the form, fine, I am going to take the loss in the part that due to my actions as the special guest referee in your match with Scott, I may have shifted the balance to his favor and he got the win from it, but here is the thing, almost the whole build to that you have tried taking shots at me, even the match, despite me actually doing my job as I am supposed to do, you ended up trying to provoke me in the match and tried to make it seem like I was the reason you weren’t winning that match, I ended up getting angry and I ended up shoving you, and what happened happened, and that is why I went and challenged you to a match, one on one, because you attacked me after that mistake that I did, and even though it was a mistake, I was going to apologize for it the way that I do best, showing up, and showing out, proving to you that I knew more than you could ever know inside of that ring, and despite all of your claims, you really weren’t able to do it? Believe me, you can say all you want about the draw, about how the two of us lost, but if I lost that match without any shenanigans, I really wouldn’t have lost anything at all, I would have had my five minutes of fame as you have said, I would have continued on with my life.
Cy Henderson: But that is not what happened, is it? Because you ended up losing as well, what everyone got out of the match at the end of the day is that the so called washed Cy Henderson, that the man who has been away for the ring for so long, that is one of the rare few who ended up getting that prize of Bust of the Year was able to end up drawing with the greatest around Chef Viz, that you didn’t end up beating someone so easy as me, that is what irks you, right?
(Chef Viz’s smile immediately starts disappearing as he continues to hear what Cy has to say.)
Cy Henderson: Because you can say all about me wanting to throw the first punch, but you can’t go out here lying when you have gone out there and brawled me as well, you have throwed some punches yourself, so what is going to end up happening this time, huh, Viz? What is going to end up happening if you aren’t able to do it? What happens when the man you have continued to slander for months on end, for weeks upon weeks, ends up being the one to end your last world championship reign? I am saying last because when it ends, you won’t want to show your face again-
Deadprez: CHEF VIZ HAS ENOUGH AND ENDS UP THROWING A PUNCH DIRECTLY AT CY’S FACE, AND CY STARTS THROWING PUNCHES HIMSELF BACK, THE TWO OF THEM ARE NOT HOLDING BACK AT ALL WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR WORDS, AND THEY AREN’T HOLDING BACK NOW!
(The two continue to throw punches and strikes trying to tear each other apart but security guards and officials rush down this time expecting them to brawl and they enter the ring, the two of them are separated by all of the security around them, as the two of them look at each other off in the distance with anger and frustration on their expressions. And in this heated moment, Showdown fades away from the ring for commercials.)
(The camera closes up on Miku Sakai standing backstage. Mikaela Street approaches her with a microphone and Miku turns to her.)
Miku Sakai: You’ve come to interview me? No surprise, honestly. Who wouldn’t wanna hear from me?
(Miku chuckles meanwhile Mikaela awkwardly inches a little closer to her.)
Mikaela Street: Well, you beat me to the punch but I was going to ask if I could get a couple of words out of you.. I mean, first thing’s first, you had a big main event match in the main event against Cy Henderson, where chaos ensued between you and Raven Roberts; ultimately leading to a no contest.
(Miku smirks at a specific phrase from Mikaela.)
Miku Sakai: I’m glad you said that, because it was already on my mind. “Main Event”. From here on out, I want you and everyone else to start referring to me as Main Event Miku! Because at Grand Rampage, Raven Roberts is going to get a firsthand account of what happens when you fuck with Showdown’s next big thing.
Mikaela Street: That’s a bold claim, but you did put up a great effort against the current number one contender to the EAW Answers World Championship, Cy—
Miku Sakai: Great effort my ass. Did you see Cy Henderson beat me last week?
Mikaela Street: Well, the match ended in a tie so—
(Before Mikaela can finish her thoughts, she’s cut off once again by a firm Miku.)
Miku Sakai: Wrong answer. All you had to do was say “no”. You know what a yes and no question is, correct? No. Cy Henderson didn’t beat me and quite frankly, NO ONE can beat me!
Miku Sakai: I am currently on the biggest roll of my career since IDOL-GUN. I am on fire and I can tell you now that there’s not a single wrestler on this roster who can cool me down and prevent me from having the worldwide recognition that I deserve!
(Mikaela wants to ask another question, but Miku dismissively holds her hand up to pause you.)
Miku Sakai: Listen, you’re good at your job and all, but keep the speaking part to me. Raven Roberts may have made history, picked up huge accomplishments but there’s a wide gap in what you’ve done in the past compared to coming back to face me now.
Miku Sakai: She should’ve never returned because she is OUT of my league. I know that I’m levels above this woman and everyone will see it firsthand when-
(Miku’s voice starts to falter. Mikaela backs up and the camera pans over to Raven Roberts who doesn’t seem to be bothered by anything Miku just said.)
Raven Roberts: Fine speech, Miku.
Miku Sakai: What the fuck do you want?
(Raven stifles a chuckle. She glances at Miku and doesn’t back down from her at all.)
Raven Roberts: I don’t want anything, actually. I just wanna tell you something.
(Miku mockingly leans her ear in to “hear” Raven, until it proves to be a mistake because her chin is up in the air.. And Raven winds back a nasty punch! Miku goes down and Mikaela frees from the area to get help. Miku rises to her feet and starts brawling with Raven, the two continuously punching each other and spilling around the backstage area. Finally, Raven grabs Miku and throws her over the crates! Miku hits the ground hard, wheezing in pain after her knee collides with the crates. Raven stops and leans over.)
Raven Roberts: Now I can tell you what I wanted to say! Our match at Grand Rampage? It’s FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE!
(Raven waves goodbye to the fallen Miku and turns to walk off while Miku tries her best to recover after that fight. Scene Fades into the Grand Rampage rewind.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Gina Romano: And it is FOR THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIIIIIIIIIIP!!!!!!!
(‘Pressure’ by Paramore plays through the sound system of the area and the crowd goes berserk!!! Cheering Alex Myers and rapidly chanting their name at the top of their lungs. They are seen making their way out to the stage looking utterly focused and serious with Willow standing by their side. In tune with the stakes of the match, they are about to get into! They take a moment to embrace the support shown by the audience before walking down the ramp.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! THE CHALLENGER!!! Accompanied to the ring by Willow! From Auckland, New Zealand! Weighing in at 180 pounds. They are ‘The Guardian Angel’ AAAAALEEEEEXXXXX MYYYYYYYERRRRRRSSSS!!!!!
Deadprez: The road has been long and hazardous for this one who first was known to be The Forgotten One! He then became The Guardian Angel and if things go his way tonight he will gain a new moniker: The Champion! Here comes Alex Myers, sided by Willow and they are looking ready to embrace their destiny as they are to face Jake Smith in just a moment!
Gavin Kirkland: Alex Myers has proven to be one of the hardest workers around on Showdown and has amply justified the decision made to recognize them as Up Next in 2023! They have proven his detractors wrong and now he has an opportunity to immortalize themselves as a World Champion during one of our biggest Free-Per-View events of the year!
( ‘WAR’ by Grandson begins to blast through the speakers of TD Garden and its roof almost gets blown off from the reaction of the crowd! Jake Smith makes his appearance at the entranceway, patting the EAW Answers World Championship on his waist before walking down the aisle and spreading his arms.)
Gina Romano: AAAAAANNND THEIR OPPONENT!! From Atherton, California! Weighing in at 210 pounds! HE IS THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!! ‘THE PROCESS’ JAAAAAAAAAAKE SMIIIIIIIIIIITH!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Jake Smith’s reign thus far as Showdown’s World Champion is perhaps not as good as he would like it to be but no one can deny his incredible ability to shine when the moment requires him to excel inside the ring! He is building himself a reign that if he keeps it up will become a memorable and long-lasting one and tonight a challenge comes to him in the form of Up Next 2023!
Gavin Kirkland: Love Jake, Hate Jake, or be indifferent it doesn’t matter! Since he cashed in his Cash in the Vault briefcase, the man has shown us that he steps up to the occasion and he does not back down from any challenges. He is really making himself become The Process and I trust in Jake that he will deliver the kind of performance that will push his opponent to go above and beyond for a chance to topple him.
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Deadprez: AND HERE WE GO! This match for the biggest prize on Showdown is officially underway! The challenger looks upon the champion from his seated position in his corner while the Champion is standing in the middle of the ring waiting for them with an unimpressed glance. Folks this has the markings of a banger I can feel it as Alex moves up to meet with Jake and both are exchanging words.
Gavin Kirkland: Both men engage in a clinch, Jake tries for a headlock but Alex denies him slipping behind Smith AND LIFTING HIM UP FOR A TAKEDOWN! To the mat, the action goes now as Myers has Smith in a headlock! Jake quickly moves but Alex maintains the action grounded now on his knees behind Jake with his arms around his head!
Eve: The Champion manages to go to his feet, the challenger still holding the headlock but Jake forces his way behind Alex and held in a wristlock Myers spins and forces Smith down! Jake to his back gets leaped on by Alex who goes for a headlock seated on the floor! The action gets back to a vertical base quickly as both wrestlers are battling for early control of the match! For the advantage as Jake pushes Alex into the ropes!
Deadprez: Both men go to a clinch again and the struggle goes to a corner with Jake pushing Alex there. Keeping them in the corner until the official orders them to split apart and Smith obliges quickly. BUT ALEX MOVES TO THE SIDE’ ARM LOCK FROM MYERS before they duck low evading an elbow from the Champion who then gets pushed back in the corner.
Gavin Kirkland: The official orders separation but Darby keeps the hold moving both men to the center of the ring and has the lock in from Jake’s back who tries to free himself from it. Smith twists and turns trying to reverse or break the hold but Alex is right there moving along with him until Jake reaches under and between his legs, grabs at one of Alex’s, and trips them down! That broke the hold.
Eve: But Myers throws a kick to the legs of Jake which helps them parkour roll up to his feet! Smith turns around; he doesn’t appreciate the kick to the back of the knee as he stares at his opponent. He moves towards Myers looking for a clinch from Alex evades. Jake sidesteps and Myers flips ending in both elitists being in a standoff in the center of the ring! Myers with intensity in their eyes looks at Smith who looks calm and composed early on in this fight.
Deadprez: And here goes Myers extending a hand in good sport to Jake who doesn’t seem impressed by the idea, but he goes for it Myers turns it into a wrist lock but then Jake rolls trying to get out of it BUT Alex rolls as well AND MANAGES TO GET JAKE IN A PINNING SITUATION!!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
Deadprez: And Jake kicks out quickly! He moves to his feet, going to a corner.
Jake Smith: Oh yeah? Okay! Alright.
Deadprez: Smith makes his way to Alex SMACKING THEM SQUARE IN THE MOUTH!!! Myers backs themselves into a corner. I think sportsmanship between the two competitors just flew out the window folks! Jake grins as Myers is holding their jaw. The Champion moves to the corner grabbing an arm and looking to whip his opponent to the other corner but Myers holds onto the rope behind them! Jake tries a second time, no good AND THEN HE HITS THE DECK AND THROWS A PUNCH UPWARD TO ALEX!!
Deadprez: Jake moves by the side of Alex and sets up a Russian leg sweep that is perfectly executed. Myers is on their back in pain but tries to get back to their feet as Smith already was and is stalking his contender with intentions to hurt. Alex now to their feet GETS TAKEN DOWN BY A BACKSTABBER!!
Gavin Kirkland: Smith goes atop Alex in a half-mounted position and begins to pummel his opponent with punches and elbows AND ALEX TURNS IT AROUND DOING THE SAME ONTO THE CHAMPION!! The two roll and punch trading being on top before they both get up on their feet. To the ropes they go, Myers gets sent bouncing AND GETS TAKEN DOWN WITH AN ENZUIGIRI!!
Eve: Alex is rather quick to get back to their feet but is met with an elbow from Jake stunning them a bit just enough to be set up for a butterfly backbreaker! Jake quickly moves and picks his opponent up, driving a stiff knee to the midsection that almost lifts Myers’ feet off the ground! He hooks the legs AND SENDS ALEX FLYING WITH A DOUBLE ARM SUPLEX!
Deadprez: Jake is in command of the match at this point as he moves Alex up and sends them into the ropes. SHOULDER BLOCK! End result Alex Myers is on their back but Jake is forcing them back on their feet, he throws an elbow to the side of Alex’s face before moving them up, scooping off their feet BEFORE TAKING THEM DOWN WITH A POWERSLAM!!! THE CHAMPION FOR A COVER!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
Deadprez: MYERS With The Shoulder Up!!
Gavin Kirkland: Alex, ever the resilient one, doesn’t give up a chance to become World Champion tonight! But they won’t hoist the big one over their heads if they keep getting pinned! Smith is being rather methodical at the moment as he has Myers in an armlock but then both of them are up to their feet AND SMITH TRIES FOR A SLEEPER HOLD!!
Eve: MYERS IS STRUGGLING! FLAILING THEIR ARMS TRYING NOT TO FALL VICTIM TO THE MOVE AND THEY PUSH JAKE TO THE ROPES! They get free BUT GETS A SHINING WIZARD TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Myers goes to thier knees AND THEN ON THEIR FACE FOLLOWING A DROPKICK FROM BEHIND BY THE CHAMPION!
Deadprez: Myers is looking to try and recover as they roll to the outside of the ring. Jake follows suit, going for a double ax handle to the spine BUT ALEX THROWS A BACK KICK THAT STUNS SMITH! Myers is trying to reverse the tide as he SMACKS JAKE’S FACE ON THE APRON BEFORE SWINGING HIM BACK FIRST ON THE BARRICADE!!
Gavin Kirkland: The crowd reacts favorably to this attempt to gain momentum by the Guardian Angel who then quickly gets Jake back inside the ring and up to his feet. The Champion is sent to the ropes, Myers goes for a clothesline but Smith ducks under it! SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY ON ALEX!!!
Eve: WHO TURNS IT INTO A PINFALL AT-NO JAKE ROLLS AND ENDS UP PINNING MYERS!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
Eve: ALEX LIFTS THE SHOULDER AND SEPARATES FROM JAKE!
Deadprez: Smith does a kip-up moving to his feet as Alex goes to a knee. Jake throws a knee trying to strike at Myers’ chest but Alex caught it BUT THEY GET JAKE’S OTHER KNEE TO THE JAW!!!! Myers is down on their knees looking stunned as Jake stares them down and begins to throw some heavy kicks to his chest!
Gavin Kirkland: One after another! Five thrown in already! Seven! Eight! Nine! TEN KICKS TO THE CHEST OF ALEX MYERS AND JAKE FINISHES WITH A SUPERKICK THAT TAKES DOWN MYERS!! COVER BY THE CHAMPION!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MYERS KICKS OUT OF THAT ONE! Wow!!
Eve: Alex Myers doesn’t want to end the match that way, they are showing us they have heart and is able to handle the beating that Jake is forcing them through but how long can he last? He needs to get some offense going or this will not end well for them!
Deadprez: Jake is now on his feet, looking down at Alex before grabbing them by the back of the head BUT ALEX HAS A SUDDEN SURGE OF ENERGY AND BEGINS TO UNLOAD ON SMITH! RIGHT HAND! LEFT HAND! RIGHT HAND! AND SUDDENLY GOES TO THE ROPES TO GAIN MOMENTU-
Gavin Kirkland: SPINBUSTEEEEEEEEERRRR!!!!! ALEX JUST SPRINGBOARDED THEMSELVES INTO A THUNDEROUS SPINEBUSTER! THEY WERE GOING FOR A CROSSBODY BUT JAKE HAD OTHER PLAYS! WHAT A BRILLIANT COUNTER FROM OUR CHAMPION! Smith is picking up Myers before sending them into a corner, he goes to the opposite one before charging in into a European uppercut!
Eve: BUT ALEX MOVES TO THE SIDE! JAKE’S BACK AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES AND ALEX IS UNLOADING FISTS AND ELBOWS BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO KICKS AS JAKE CRUMBLES TO THE RING FLOOR!! HE’S GETTING A MUDHOLE STOMPED OUT OF HIM! MYERS IS WALKING IT DRY AND THE FANS LOVE IT!! Alex grabs onto the ropes moving up AND DRIVES BOTH KNEES AGAINST JAKE’S CHEST!!
Deadprez: Smith crumbles to his side but he gets picked up by Alex who doesn’t give him some respite as he is moved into the center of the ring, Alex goes to the ropes and NAILS JAKE WITH A SHOTGUN DROPKICK! Smith backs himself into the ropes and Alex goes back to get some momentum by bouncing on the opposite ropes AND TACKLES SM-NO JAKE JUMPED OVER THE TOP ROPE AND NAILED ALEX WITH A SUNSET FLIP BOMB!!
Deadprez: JAKE WITH A COVER! WILL THIS BE ENOUGH??
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
Deadprez: IT ISN’T! ALEX MYERS LIFTS THE SHOULDER AFTER TWO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake is looking at the official, who confirms to the Champion this was only a two count and Smith nodded before getting back to his feet. Looking down on his opponent he picks Myers up and takes them down with a simple scoop slam. Alex is holding their back as they get brought back up to their feet THIS TIME THEY ARE SET UP IN A WHEELBARROW GERMAN SUPLEX! BUT ALEX LANDS ON THEIR FEET!! JACK DOESN’T KNOW AS HE GETS UP AND ALEX SENDS HIM OVERHEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX OF THEIR OWN!!
Deadprez: Myers is on the attack now as they throw a series of punches to Jake before dashing forward and taking him down with a clothesline! They go for a second clothesline as Smith is getting to his feet but is denied! Another clothesline keeps the Champion grounded FOLLOWED WITH A DISCUSS CLOTHESLINE!! Alex is telling the Champion to stay down but of course, a few clotheslines aren’t what will stop our Champion for sure!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake then is whipped into the ropes and a trip sends him falling against the second rope, he hangs onto it AND ALEX GOES INTO A SUICIDE DIVE GRABBING SMITH’S HEAD AS HE SLIDES OUT OF THE RING! LIKE A GUILLOTINE AND JAKE BOUNCES BACK INSIDE THE RING HOLDING HIS THROAT!!
Eve: What a move by Alex looking to put on some pain and damage on the Champion! Smith is rolling under the ropes and holding his throat as Alex is moving to the outside from one end and charges towards Jake SHOTGUN DROPKICKING HIM AND LANDING ON THE APRON! WOAH!
Deadprez: Smith is kicked to the mat outside of the ring with that move and the crowd loves it! Myers stands on the apron looking down on his opponent AND JUMPS DOWN ON HIM WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP SQUARE ON THE CHEST OF THE CHAMPION!!! Alex is going hard on Jake as they move the Champion against the security railing around the ring and moves to the other side of the ring. They start running AND GOES FOR A SHOTGUN DROPKICK!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MYERS JUST CRUSHED JAKE AGAINST THE GUARDRAIL!! The crowd is enjoying this and Myers seems about ready to deliver more as they move to the side of Jake who’s seated against the barricade AND MYERS BEGINS TO THROW KICKS AFTER KICKS AT Smith’s CHEST!!!
Crowd: YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake is taking the brunt of it all as Myers keeps on unloading those kicks until they stop and quickly get the Champion to his feet ONLY TO SLAM HIM DOWN WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!!!!
Deadprez: The referee to the inside of the ring is counting after he orders the action to resume inside the squared circle and the contender obliges by sending the Champion under the ropes followed by themselves soon after. Myers goes behind Smith hugging him AND DEADLIFTING THE MAN INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX!!! What a display of power from Myers who then quickly goes topside to one of the corners AND DELIVERS A SENTON BOMB!!! Perfectly executed and they follow it with a cover!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
Deadprez: The Champion lifts a shoulder up! Great effort from Alex but they will need to do more in order to win but this is good! Half mounted atop of Smith the Guardian Angel unloads punches before quickly getting up and making Jake follow suit. Into the ropes goes the Champion WHO HEAD HEADBUTTED BY HIS OPPONENT! Jake is reeling AND GETS THROWD SUDDENLY INTO A CORNER WITH A BUCKLE BOMB!!!!

ALEX MYERS WITH A CROSSFACE ON JAKE SMITH IS DEAD IN THE CENTER OF THE RING AND JAKE HAS NOWHERE TO GO!!!!! THIS COULD BE IN THE SMITH AS HE’S FLAILING HIS ARMS LIKE WILD AND TRYING TO CRAWL TOWARDS THE ROPES BUT MYERS KEEPS HIM IN PLACE!!!
Eve: ALEX IS PULLING HARD!! THEIR HANDS TIGHTLY ON JAKE’S FACE AS TH-Hey wait Myers is suddenly screaming in pain! They let go of Jake and shake off one of their hands.
Alex Myers: Motherfucker just bit me!!!!
Eve: He Did What??
Gavin Kirkland: Wow! This just goes to show what Jake is willing to do in order to keep his Championship!
Deadprez: The official can’t do anything as he didn’t see what happened but Myers shows him the palm of their hand there are obvious red marks there! Jake bit hard but the official orders this match to continue as he warns the Champion he won’t tolerate that kind of behavior further!! Myers sneers at his opponent who just got back on their feet, grinning somehow while struggling on the ropes that he then uses to bounce his way to Alex WHO WELCOMES HIM WITH AN EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!
Gavin Kirkland: It sends Jake back into the ropes, bouncing and stumbling towards his opponent WHO HAS HIM SPINNING INTO A FALCON ARROW!!! DOWN GOES JAKE AND ALEX TRIES A PINFALL!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: The Champion fights on as he kicks out at two!! Myers looks at the official who confirms the two counts while to the outside Willow is banging on the apron to encourage Alex to fight on. Nodding they look down at Jake before forcing him to his feet and grabbing at his arm, twisting it and working on some joint manipulation before moving close to the ropes.
Eve: Look at Myers they are moving to a corner and begin to walk on the top rope!!! Jake can’t do a thing his arm is locked AND ALEX SENDS JAKE FLYING WITH A HURRICANRANA!!! Smith is on the ground groaning in pain as Alex moves to the nearest second rope AND THROWS THEMSELVES AT JAKE WITH A SPRINGBOARD ELBOW DROP!!
Deadprez: Alex quickly grabs at Smith’s head forcing him up quickly AND SETS HIM UP WITH A COBRA CLUTCH BACKBREAKER!!! Jake is in pain holding his back as he goes to his knees AND MYERS IS ON THE ATTACK AGAIN WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! THEY ROLL THROUGH THE MOTION AND LIFT JAKE INTO A SPIN-OUT POWERBOMB!!! WOAAAH!!! MYERS GOES FOR A PINFALL!!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
Deadprez: AND THE CHAMPION LIFTS A SHOULDER UP!! Myers is commanded this isn’t looking good for Jake as he is forced up to his feet again AND THROWS A THUMB TO THE EYES OF MYERS AND ROLLS OUT OF THE RING!! The referee is telling Jake he shouldn’t be doing this but the Champion doesn’t care as he tries to recover.
Gavin Kirkland: Hey look at Willow! She’s going in Jake’s face giving him a piece of her mind but Smith doesn’t seem to be bothered by it and focuses on his recovery.
Eve: Myers is moving to the outside of the ring, behind Jake who doesn’t realize it! JAKE’S FACE JUST GOT SMACKED AGAINST THE CORNER POST HARD!!
Deadprez: And he’s holding his face, this must be hurting! Alex is running to another side of the ring before turning and then dashing towards the other corner BEFORE LEAPING BETWEEN THE APRON AND THE BOTTOM ROPE AND GRAB AT JAKE DRILLING HIM DOWN INTO A DDT!!!! WHAT A MOVE BY MYERS AND NOW THE CHAMPION IS IN TROUBLE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MYERS HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOME MASSIVE DAMAGE TO THE CHAMPION AND PERHAPS GET CLOSER TO EVEN BECOMING THE CHAMPION! What is Alex going to do? They grab Jake by the hair, scooping him up and slamming him down on our Spanish announce table! Our colleagues are getting out of the way folks because this doesn’t bode well!
Eve: Myers throws some punches to the Champion’s face as they are considering their options as to what to do next! They look inside the ring and then up. They seem thoughtful, uh oh they have an idea! What will Alex do? Quickly slipping inside the ring they go up to the top corner closest to our table and the Champion. They are turning their back on Jake, ALEX IS ABOUT TO GO FOR THE COFFIN DROP FROM THE TOP OF THE CORNER!!!
Deadprez: This is the biggest risk Alex took thus far since this match started! If they land this the pain Smith will go through will be HUGE!!! MYERS DROPS!
CRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: ALEX JUST WENT THROUGH OUR SPANISH ANNOUNCEMENT TABLE BUT JAKE MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!!!!!!!!!!! OH, MY GAWWDDD!!!!!!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!!
Deadprez: MYERS COULD HAVE JUST BROKEN HIS BACK WITH THAT MOVE!!!! They are writhing in a whole lot of pain right now looking as if they look semi-conscious with a hand on the low of their back. The EMTs and officials are rushing to them to see if they are okay as they try to move to their knees but are holding their back and this doesn’t bode well for them at all.
Gavin Kirkland: Jake meanwhile has been moving back inside the ring while the official is looking on and Alex is telling the staff around them that they want to fight on so the referee inside the ring begins to make the count AND ALEX IS STRUGGLING TO GET TO HIS FEET!! Oh no, this isn’t good and Jake is smirking seeing this like a shark who smells blood in the water!
Eve: Smith goes back outside of the ring heading to meet with Myers before the Guardian Angel could get inside the ring. Rolling him to the apron he goes back up there himself, what is he going to do here folks as he helps a hurt Alex up w-wait a minute NO! A SCOOP SLAM ON THE APRON!! THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING AND MYERS IS WRITHING IN PAIN AS THEY ROLL BACK INSIDE THE RING!!!
Deadprez: Jake looks like a predator stalking prey right now as he moves close to Myers who just got on their feet, sending them to a corner while holding the back of their head, AND BEGINS SMASHING IT AGAINST THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!! The fans are counting!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
FOUR!!!!
FIVE!!!!!
SIX!!!!!!
SEVEN!!!!!!!
EIGHT!!!!!!!!
NINE!!!!!!!!!
…
…
TEN!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Alex is holding onto the corner by the ropes, their head leaning on the corner and Jake turns them around AND MOVES TO HAVE MYERS ON HIS SHOULDERS INTO AN ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP POSITION! MYERS TRIES TO FEND THE MOVE OFF AS SMITH WALKS TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING BY THROWING DOWN PUNCHES AT JAKE… WHO THEN DROPS THEM INTO A BACKSTABBER!!!! HOLY HELL!!
Eve: Smith observes his opponent who is moving to their knees holding their back despite what was just done to them AND HE THEN THROWS A HARD KNEE TO THE SPINE OF MYERS!! Alex appears to be in trouble as they struggle to get up as Jake gets them to a vertical base. Irish whip into a corner with force SENDING MYERS BETWEEN THE ROPES AND AND HITTING BACK FIRST AGAINST THE CORNER POST AND CRUMBLING OUTSIDE OF THE RING!!!
Deadprez: That was a vicious whip from Smith as Willow is rushing to Alex’s side to check up on them. He’s wincing in pain but they appear to tell their friend it’s okay that they will continue yet they clearly look like there’s something wrong with their back! How will that affect the match? This isn’t good.
Gavin Kirkland: Jake knows something’s going on as well as he is leaning down against the ropes looking at his opponent asking them if that’s all they’ve got! Taunting the wounded contender who is working to make his way back to the ring. Jack steps back a little seemingly looking to let Alex move inside the ring on their own without attacking.
Eve: Alex has a knee on the apron now and Jack suddenly goes to meet them, hopping on the second rope and SMACK ALEX IN THE FACE! Myers turns their back to Smith who grabs their waist and OH MY GAAWWWD A GERMAN SUPLEX OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH ELEVATION FROM THE SECOND ROPE BY SMITH!! MYERS ALMOST LANDS ON THEIR HEAD!!! WHAT A MOVE FROM THE CHAMPION!!!
Deadprez: On their end, Myers is holding the back of their neck as Smith is giving a piece of his mind to Willow and the two are throwing some expletives at one another! Smart move from Willow to hook Smith in and give Alex time to recover but Smith doesn’t entertain this for long and goes towards Myers who’s on their knees AND SUDDENLY DASHES FORWARD WITH A HEADBUTT!!
Gavin Kirkland: Myers attempting a comeback now as they power through the pain but they they a knee to the gut from Smith and whipped harshly against a corner forcing Myers to fall flat on his face! The crowd boos the Champion as he looks at them saying he’s just doing his job and trying to retain his Championship! Well, he ain’t wrong I mean it’s not like Alex getting hurt was his doing, at first at least.
Eve: Can’t fault Smith for looking to capitalize on the opportunity as Myers is managing to get to a vertical base. Smith goes on the attack looking to throw a clothesline as Alex is parting from the corner BUT MYERS QUICKLY SETS JAKE UP FOR A DEATH VALLEY DRIVER AND MAKES IT LAND AGAINST THE CORNER!! WOAH!! A GREAT COUNTER BY MYERS WHO DROPS TO THEIR KNEES CLUTCHING ON THEIR BACK WITH BOTH HANDS!!
Deadprez: The Champion is in control now as he grabs hold of the back of Alex’s neck and begins to unload punches to the top of his opponent’s head!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake Smith rolls to the outside of the ring, trying to create separation between him and the challenger but Alex is moving through the ropes and stands on the apron! They are taking a few steps back as if to get ready to pull off a move the moment an unsuspecting Jake turns around and Smith slowly does!
Eve: His eyes go wide as he sees Alex rushing his way BUT WITH LIGHTNING QUICK SPEED HE THROWS A SUPERKICK TO ALEX’ LEGS MAKING THEM FALL ON THIER FACE!!!
Deadprez: What reaction time from Smith who moves to try and get to Alex BUT THEY GET SMACKED IN THE FACE and stumbles against the barricade behind them! Myers with some pain moves to their feet and stands inside the ring, looking down at Smith they sense an opportunity as they dash into the ropes.
Gavin Kirkland: Bouncing and wincing against them TOPE CON HI-NOOO!!! JAKE MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND AND MYERS CRASHES INTO THE BARRICADE!! MY GAWD!!!!
Eve: A look of concern on the face of Willow who watches on at Alex is looking worse for wear laying at the base of the barricade as Jake is looking down on his opponent before pressing a boot to their neck! The official warns the Champion to stop and he ends the move BY RUBBING THE SOLE OF HIS BOOT AGAINST ALEX’S FACE!!!
Jake Smith: Stay down Alex, this won’t end the way you want!
Alex Myers: …F….Fuck you Smith.
Eve: Did I hear them correctly?
Deadprez: You did this brings Jake to smack his opponent behind the head and then roughly grab them and WHIP THEM AGAINST THE APRON BEFORE CLOTHESLINING THEM INTO THE RING! That’s further punishment on Myers’ back just how much will be able to handle before it gives up on him!
Jake Smith: I will teach you a lesson, you little shit!
Deadprez: Uh oh, now the Champion is angry, what is Jake going to cook up now? He is moving Myers to a corner, driving some hard elbows to the back of their head before hoisting them up so Alex sits on the top turnbuckle.
Gavin Kirkland: Jake stands on the second rope looking to have Myers into a position to flip him and take him down to the mat below but the guardian angel resists! The Champion tries again but the Contender doesn’t let go of the corner BUT SUDDENLY THROWS AN ELBOW TO SMITH’S FACE!!
Eve: Jake is stunned and Myers shifts his position AND GOES OVER JAKE LANDING UNDER HIM AND EXECUTES A TOP ROPE SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!!!!!! JAKE’S LEGS ARE POINTING TO THE SKIES!! MYERS WITH A COVER!!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
Eve: SMITH LIFTS A SHOULDER UP JUST In A NICK OF TIME!!!
Deadprez: What a counter from Myers who is trying to get back into this match despite having obvious issues with thier back. They shove Smith away from them and move to take a knee trying to get back fully standing under the encouragement of Willow and the capacity crowd here at TD Garden!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake is slowly moving back to his feet, looking shaken a little bit as he seems to look to gain his bearings AND LOOK AT MYERS WHO JUST SCOOPED HIM ON THIER SHOULDERS!!
Eve: MYERS LOOKS IN PAIN AS THE WEIGHT OF JAKE IS INTENSE BUT THEY SUDDENLY START RUNNING AND EXECUTES A FORBIDDEN PARADISE!!! THE RUNNING SNAKE EYE POWERSLAM LANDS AND MYERS IS CLUTCHING THIER BACK HARD! TO THE POINT WHERE THEY DON’T GO FOR A PINFALL!!!
Deadprez: This is a pivotal moment in the match folks, if Alex isn’t able to perform certain moves this is bad! But look at Myers! They are fighting the pain, grunting hard looking to get back to their feet while Jake is doing the same! The challenger moved close to the Cham-
Gavin Kirkland: BROKEN WINGS!!!! THE SNAP-SWINGING NECKBREAKER CONNECTS AND ALEX DROPS DOWN!!! This is an opportunity for Jake Smith to end this match and retain his title! What is he going to do next?
Eve: He is moving to a corner as Alex is painfully trying to get back to their feet! Jake is itching to get the next move in! I have a feeling I know what he’s going for!! Myers is on their knees now and Jake charges!
Deadprez: KAIOKEN!!!! THE BOMAYE TO THE BACK OF ALEX’S HEAD AND THEY DROP LIKE DEADWEIGHT!!! THIS IS IT!! JAKE GOES FOR A COVER!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
…
O.O.
Gavin Kirkland: WHAAAAAT????
Eve: MYERS BY I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MIRACLE KICKED OUT OF THAT MOVE AT TWO POINT NINE NINE NINE!!!!! MYERS IS STILL IN THIS MATCH AND JAKE IS IN DISBELIEF!!!!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Deadprez: Jake just pulled out one of his best moves to take down Alex! He looks convinced that he had this match bagged and he looks at the official who confirms one of the closest near fall I’ve ever seen and with that Myers is still in this fight! But how much is left in the tank after this?
Gavin Kirkland: Jake turns his gaze down to Alex and there is an ice-cold stare coming off the man, on know what is he going to do? He picks up Alex, hoisting them to his shoulders.
Jake Smith: I’m going to torture you, Alex!
Eve: Is he … YES HE’S GOING FOR THE TORTURE RACK ON MYERS!! THAT MUCH BE EXCRUCIATING BUT WAIT!! ALEX JUST STUNNED JAKE WITH A KNEE TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD AND HOLY SHIT!!!! THEY FLIPPED JAKE WITH THE FINAL SYMPHONY!!!! THE CRUCIFIX DRIVER INTO A LUNG BLOWER LANDS THE CHAMPION HARD ON THE MAT!!!
Deadprez: COVER BY MYERS!!! WILL IT BE ENOUGH TO WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP?????
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
…
Gavin Kirkland: HOW DID HE KICK OUT OF THAT????? MYERS JUST THREW HIM ONE OF THEIR BEST SHOT, AND THE CHAMPION BAILS HIMSELF OUT OF IT AT THE VERY LAST SECOND TOO!!!!
Eve: Both Warriors look spent, Myers worse than Jake but both are slowly working to get back up this has been an absolute banger thus far folks and the fans want some more!!!!
Deadprez: Both Myers and Smith are on their knees now trading blows! Looking tired and in pain! Blast by Alex! Back at Them by Smith! And again! The crowd is going YAAAAAY!!! BOOO!! YAAAAY!!! BOOO!!!!! UNTIL THEY CHEER AS BOTH ELITISTS THROW FLURRIES OF PUNCHES AT EACH OTHER!! HOW CAN ARE THEY EVEN ABLE TO PULL THAT OFF???
Gavin Kirkland: They are digging deep Prez and the fans love them for it!! ELBOW TO THE FACE FROM MYERS WHO DASHES TO THE ROPES AND SPRINGBOARDS THEMSELVES INTO-
Eve: A SUPERKICK TO THE SPINE BY JAKE!!!!!! HOLY COW I THOUGHT HE WOULDN’T SEE THE MOVE COMING AFTER THAT ELBOW!! MYERS DROPS TO THE FLOOR CLUTCHING AT THEIR BACK AND JAKE MOVES TO GRAB AT THIER WRISTS LOCKING THEM!! ALEX IS HELPLESS!!! WHAT WILL JAKE DO??
Deadprez: THE CRUSHCRUSHCRUSH!!!! JAKE JUST FLIPPED ALEX INTO A DOUBLE WRIST LOCK AND BEGINS TO THROW STOMP AFTER STOMP TO THE CHEST OF MYERS!!! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN HOLY HELL WHEN IS HE GOING TO STOP???
Deadprez: SMITH GOT ABOUT FIFTEEN OF THESE KICKS INTO ALEX’S CHEST!!! MYERS AIN’T MOVING AND WILLOW LOOKS HELLA CONCERNED ABOUT THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! HER HANDS COVERED HER MOUTH WITH WIDEYES!
Gavin Kirkland: JAKE SMITH DROPS DOWN ON ALEX! This has got to be it folks, no way Myers kicks out of this! Just no way!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
( DING! DING!! DING!!! )
( ‘WAR’ by Grandson begins to blast through the speakers of TD Garden as Jake Smith steps away from Alex Myers and gladly takes the title handed to him by the official and pushes it over his head with both hands! )
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen the winner of this match AND STILL THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION: JAAAAAAAAKE SMIIIIIIIIIIIIIITH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: WHAT AN EPIC MATCH WE JUST WITNESSED HERE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! We’ve seen Alex go through hellacious matches in the past and make great displays of heart and resiliency but this match here was on another level! Tonight despite injury and great amounts of pain they didn’t want to surrender, they didn’t want to submit and it took Jake’s ultimate attack in order to put them down!
Gavin Kirkland: I agree with you Deadprez, the kid a magistral effort but unfortunately the ending wasn’t in thier favor. Jake dished out everything he had at Alex and the Guardian Angel threw it back to him and had great chances of winning BUT! It didn’t come to be.
Eve: Credits to Jake Smith for taking advantage of that bad landing from Alex when they attempted that drop through the table earlier in the match. The battle wasn’t the same for Alex since and while they did what they could to go through the pain it ended up being too much under the constant assault from Jake. Congratulations to the Champion for retaining his title!
( The final shot is of Jake Smith standing on the ramp leading to backstage, holding his championship happily in his arms while EMT’s are tending to Alex with a worried Willow standing behind the people tending to her friend. )
(The camera fades in and Veena Adams, Madison Kaline, Daniella Atlas and Princess Candice Blair are all standing in the ring. They’re all exchanging glances, clearly there is a lot of tension between them.)
Eve: The four women in this ring will be facing for the National Elite Championship at Grand Rampage! You have the veteran Madison Kaline and Disney’s Princess Candice Blair who beat each other to a pulp just to both get into this match! You have the rookie Daniella Atlas who has been making a name for herself! And of course, you have the reigning champion Veena Adams! I wonder what they’ll have to say before we get to the championship match?
(All the ladies go to speak, but Madison interjects.)
Madison Kaline: Before ANY of you say anything, let me remind you who you’re speaking to. I am a legend. Yeah…LEGEND. That is something that none of you can say. The best you can do is fantasize about it. So, it’s just sort of funny about how you’re all so disrespectful. Who here has won Empress of Elite? Just me. Who here has actually be EAW’s Women’s World Champion? Or even just a world champion at all? Looks like I’m the odd one out yet again. I am the greatest female talent that has ever lived.
(Daniella Atlas, Princess Candice Blair and Veena Adams all go to talk but Madison immediately speaks over them.)
Madison Kaline: YOU WILL NOT INTERRUPT ME. Seriously, I’m a woman among little girls here. Clearly you haven’t even grown up enough to have some manners. Can one of you act your age? Probably not. I’m not surprised that you act this way Candice, considering that you’re practically a wild animal. You might play princess, but you can’t hide the fact that you’re a dog. A bitch if you want me to get specific. I mean, you want to be a role model, but you’re far removed from that. So far that anyone who thinks that you’re Disney’s second-worst project next to Secret Wars. As for you Veena, I actually like your style. I actually see some similarities between us. The only difference is just like Candice, you’re a bitch too. Daniella…little Daniella…I don’t even know why I’m wasting my breath on you. You aren’t even in the same stratosphere as me. You are a no-
Daniella Atlas: A nobody? I get it Madison. Out of the three ladies in this match, I am the youngest. I have the least amount of experience in Elite Answers Wrestling. You’ve been here for what? Nearly a decade? Veena and Candice have been here for just under that. I have not held championship gold, I have not done everything that you have…but I don’t really care. I might be the odd one out, the dark horse or even the underdog, but that does not matter to me. I still intend on leaving Grand Rampage as The National Elite Champion.
(She looks around the ring and smirks which especially draws the ire of Madison.)
Daniella Atlas: A fatal-four-way match comes with plenty of opportunities to claim victory. Three opponents and I only have to defeat one of them to win. Veena, I do not have to pin YOU to take your championship away. You realize that, right? If I want that National Elite Championship and believe me I do, I could pin either of these two. You might be feeling confident now Veena, but just wait. Because I could pin this hag here or the princess. Personally? Those are odds that I can work with.
(Princess Candice nods up and smiles at Daniella as she picks up her microphone to speak.)
Princess Candice: Wow, Daniella that was really inspiring. I’m glad to see you all fired up! Unfortunately, what I’m seeing here is these ladies making this match about themselves. But it isn’t about either of you no matter how much you wish it was. This is about…DISNEY! At Grand Rampage, I promise to make them proud when I leave with that championship. But it’s no so much a promise as it is a spoiler. Because Daniella, let’s face the facts…Madison is right. You don’t belong in this match. I love the can-do attitude, it’s not happening.
Princess Candice: Madison, you’re just a bitter hag. Here you are going on and on about your achievements…but didn’t you get inducted years ago? Honestly, you should just retire at this point. The right thing for you to do is to just step aside because you’re not wanted here. Oh and don’t worry Veena, I haven’t forgotten about you. Just like I haven’t forgotten about our match four years ago. Now, it’s my turn to win gold. And I think it’s time for some p-
(Veena puts her hand right in the face of Candice, signaling her to shut up. Candice is stunned by this and Veena brings her microphone up to her face.)
Veena Adams: I’m not one to waste time. Yet, for some odd reason my time is being wasted right now. The three of you are beneath me. Seriously, I should not have to defend MY championship match against the trash they just swept in the ring with me. It’s beneath me.
Veena Adams: One of you smells like mothballs and is long past her expiration date. I think I can…see the mold forming on her. The other one of you is just some lucky girl who happened to be the best of the best losers. She stands out here like a sore thumb, clearly not belonging here. And then the Princess. Candice, I don’t really care about four years ago. I beat you once and I’ll do it again. So, as far as I’m concerned, just like this snot-nosed brat and this stale shrew, you are a waste of MY extremely valuable time. I should just slap the Mickey Mouse ears off your head right now. That’s a good idea actually.
(Veena lets her microphone slide out of her hand and onto the floor. Before Candice can realize what she just said, Candice slaps her across the face. With that, Daniella Atlas and Madison Kaline immediately start throwing punches.)
Gavin Kirkland: AND THEY AREN’T GOING TO WAIT UNTIL GRAND RAMPAGE! These four elitists are brawling inside the ring! Is this a preview of the chaos that we’ll see next weekend?
Deadprez: It might be! VEENA AND CANDICE ARE CLOTHESLINED RIGHT OUT OF THE RING BY MADISON KALINE! It looks like the Mistress of Death is standing tall here! But wait…she better turn around! GHOST CALL! Madison is knocked out by that Discus Palm Strike! It looks like Daniella Atlas is the one left standing as the dust settles! Is this what we’ll see at Grand Rampage?
(The camera shifts from the chaos to the backstage area.)
(We open back up with Showdown backstage. Kyra Phillips can be seen with a microphone held closely.)
Kyra Phillips: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome the woman who will be challenging for the Specialist Championship, KASAI!
(KASAI slowly walked on the screen, a look of excitement across her face. She stopped as she looked at Kyra.)
KASAI: Feels like this one is definitely personal now, week after week, KASAI and Kyra Phillips have some sort of interaction. This one will be spectacular though, I want you to take one look at me, Kyra can you do that?
Kyra Phillips: Yes of course!
KASAI: Take one long look.
(KASAI took a deep breath, holding it there for a short moment, before exhaling and speaking again.)
KASAI: These are the last minutes that you are going to see me without a championship, that itch and drought is over. It’s coming to a close of epic proportions, and is it sad? No, not really. It’s exhilarating, these are exciting times, Kyra! Don’t you feel the excitement? Grand Rampage is so close, I can feel it sucking the calcium from my teeth.
Kyra Phillips: Oh. Well with that being said I wanted to collect your thoughts on Grand Rampage as an event, the lineage of Grand Rampage is a huge one, and it has really made others feel.. weird when hearing the presence. How do you feel about heading into Grand Rampage this year for the first time ever?
KASAI: Believe me. I am not afraid of Grand Rampage. I debuted in EAW a year ago, directly before the titular event. I saw all the chaos unfold, I saw all the craziness unwind, I watched all the leaps unbound. This is the road to Pain For Pride, and we are riding a train that is leaving the station, these are some of the most exciting times. To have a championship match at Grand Rampage against Bea Valentine… It’s something. It’s great however, because this is where her run ends. Bea Valentine wants you to believe that her run in the sun has been historic, but it hasn’t. It’s been woefully mediocre, if even that. I am not scared or intimidated by Grand Rampage. Especially seeing as my opponent could put together 10 comprehensive sentences if she tried.
Kyra Phillips: While what you say in your favor is true, how do you feel generally about facing Bea Valentine? What is the emotion there?
KASAI: If you want a secret, Bea Valentine has defeated me before, but you know how hard it is.. To consistently win again and again, and not expose your entire gameplan? Bea Valentine sits on top of a mountain with Gloria. She has been on that mountain since October, she proved it wasn’t a fluke, she proved she was a winner. But she’s attached, and when I say attached to that championship, giving it a name, attached. She has made it important in every faucet, she has made it a constant in her life. What will Bea Valentine do when she wakes up the next morning after Grand Rampage, and her life is dull and empty? No Gloria.. No one to tell her stories, no one to put up with her nonsense, she is going to be alone. And, empty! We always ask about ourselves. Why don’t we express concern for Bea Valentine? We can do that and uplift me at the same time. We are in the final stages of Bea Valentine’s run in the sun. This is her closing act, and I am glad to have her BEA… On her way. Get it. BEA?
(KASAI chuckled at her own joke as Kyra nodded her head, of course obviously understanding the reference.)
Kyra Phillips: The pole match is definitely a unique one ushered in the stones of EAW history. How do you feel about that?
KASAI: Kyra I truly believe this goes without needing to be said… I am a hungry woman, and if it’s not now that I become champion, then when is it? I can’t delay this any longer, the time is NOW. I am going to climb whatever I gotta climb. A pole? I’ll climb it. A mountain? You got it. Anything you wanna put on the plate, I’ll ascend it. I have to get this one and finish it, there’s just no other way. No more waiting in the wings, only taking this seriously. I have to win this one, Kyra. I have to win this one, at Grand Rampage. There’s nothing at the other side of the hill for me if I lose. And who wouldn’t want that? A black null and void cloud hanging over you, forcing your career to remain in delay till the end of time? I will have reassurance with the Specialist Championship, but even more than reassurance, I will have clarification. I will have clarification and the wherewithal of knowing – I did it. It was all for something, so to answer your question again, you put anything in front of me, and give me the objective to climb it, believe me… I will.
Kyra Phillips: Well with that being said, parting words for your opponent who may be watching, Bea Valentine, before all the chaos unfolds, what is one thing you’d like to tell her?
(KASAI turned her attention towards the camera as she got up closer in the view. She was glaring directly at the camera, but more so glaring, as if she was looking directly at Bea Valentine.)
KASAI: I know you are watching this right now, Bea. So go ahead. Do me a favor Bea Valentine, I want you to try practicing sleeping without Gloria the next couple of nights, after I pry her from your cold dead hands, you’ll already have a head start.
(With that said, KASAI just directly walked off the camera with the glaring threat and message sent towards Bea Valentine. The last shot was Kyra Phillips watching KASAI leave, as Showdown would soon pan elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: AND IS FOR THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
(‘You Know My Name by Chris Cornell plays to a thunderous ovation from the EAW audience, damn near blowing the roof off the place for this hometown reception for Adam Lucas, who steps out on the stage smirking before beginning his stride down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! Hailing out of New York City, New York, weighing in at 231…HE IS THE NEXT LEVEL…ADAM LUCAS!!
Eve: Here’s the Next Level, looking to reach exactly that with a win here tonight.
Deadprez: But the question is: can he? Does Adam Lucas have what it takes to walk out victorious here?
Eve: If you ask me, I say he does, we’ve seen this man go toe-to-toe with the best of em, and it feels like it’s almost inevitable for him to walk out World Champ one day. Perhaps today could be that.
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac is next to play, but the reaction is far more harsh, barely any fans looking to root for TLA against Adam. Mostly wanting to see their hometown boy win. But The Answers World Champion makes his way out in style with a lowrider, and not letting the crowd affect him, more so getting why they’re hostile on this night.)
Gina Romano: And his opponent! Residing out of the Poon Palace in Miami, Florida, weighing in at 210 pounds…HE IS THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…LA PANTERA SEXUAL…TLA!!
Gavin Kirkland: Always a treat to see TLA!
Deadprez: Especially at the level he performs, we’re always bound to see a great match outta him, and tonight will be no different.
Eve: But for someone the caliber of TLA, is he prepared for the threat he faces in Adam Lucas?
(TLA tosses his hat into the crowd, but a fan sends it right back, tossing it ringside after catching it, slightly to the amusement of TLA.)
TLA: Oh, damn, so it’s like that?
(TLA shrugs before staring down at Adam Lucas in the opposite corner as the referee signals for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: There’s the bell, and our Answers World Title match is underway, the atmosphere in this place already electric.
Crowd: ADAM LUCAS! ADAMS LUCAS! ADAM LUCAS!
Deadprez: Welp, the fans are making it no secret who they’re firmly behind here, and it’s not often you see TLA outmatched in terms of crowd reaction, but I don’t expect it to rattle him much. End of the day, it’s not about being liked, it’s about defending your title.
Eve: Yeah, but crowd reaction can be vital for some performers, especially those who feed off it, Adam Lucas being one of em. We know he appreciates every person who chants his name, and doesn’t wanna disappoint them, or himself tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: FUCK HIS CROWD REACTION! THE GUY IS MARRYING BETHANY BLUE! HE MUST BE STOPPED!
Eve + Deadprez: :dahell:
Gavin Kirkland: My bad.
Eve: …Anyways, both competitors circle each other before engaging a knucklelock in the center of the ring. TLA gets the early advantage over his challenger with an arm wringer, now connecting with repeated shoulder blocks while having control of that wrist before twisting the arm again to transition with a fireman’s carry takedown!
Deadprez: TLA’s quick to tack on a grounded side headlock, but Adam’s just as quick, perhaps even quicker to escape with a headscissors that TLA kicks out of! Both men scramble back to their feet, and stare each other down, realizing that they’ve come to a stalemate thus far.
TLA: Damn, homie, I see you. :mjgrin:
Eve: Nice to see TLA keeping a level head, not really getting frustrated, knowing it’s early on, and there’s still plenty of room to figure your opponent out here. He’s champion for a reason, but to bring matters back to the match, both competitors lock up in the center of the ring, an approach we’re more used to here, but TLA once again gets the advantage with a standing side headlock.
Deadprez: He’s really wrenching on it, and the fans are not happy, but regardless, TLA transitions to a hammerlock, now back to the side headlock, this time a takedown! But previous events repeat themselves as Adam utilizes a headscissors to escape, forcing the champion to kick out, and hurry back to his feet. Both Adam and TLA stare from the respective corners they’ve picked themselves up in, and begin to inch out slowly, locking up in the center of ring again.
Eve: TLA wrings the arm of Lucas, and yanks on it a few times before wringing it again, but Adams counters with an arm wringer of his own! TLA scores some forearms to the face of Lucas, trying to free himself, but Adams shrugs it off, the grip barely loosening. TLA switches the approach, and goes for a kick to the midsection, but Adam catches the boot, and trips TLA down to the canvas for a SHARPSHOOTER! LUCAS LOC-
Deadprez: The fans’ volume was amping up there, knowing that to be a signature move of Adam, but TLA shoved Lucas away with both feet, and rushes back to his feet, narrowly avoiding a fatal move there.
Eve: And you can see TLA’s expression switch to something a bit more serious, he’s aware of the threat Adam Lucas can pose to that title, but the two lock up, still in early goings of this thing, and TLA gets the advantage with another standing side headlock, keeping control of Adam Lucas for a while in the center of the ring.
Deadprez: Lucas bounces TLA off the ropes to escape, AND ATTEMPTS A HIP TOSS! But Honor Bomb is countered as TLA front flips on his feet, and the champion starts to get a bit more aggressive in his approach, closing the distance between him and Lucas as he marches over for another collar and elbow tie-up!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA goes behind Adam Lucas for a rear waistlock… but seriously, what does Bethany Blue see in this guy?
Eve: Adam is trying to pry those hands of TLA apart, and does! Managing to move behind now for a rear waistlock takedown! ADAM QUICKLY SHOOTS THE HALF FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
T-
Deadprez: Only one count as TLA powers out, and both men are immediately back to their feet, ADAM KNOCKS TLA DOWN WITH A RIGHT HAND, AND TLA SCRAMBLES BACK UP!
Eve: Lucas brings him down to the canvas with a side headlock takedown, and TLA tries to take a page out of Adam’s playbook with a headscissors to escape, but Lucas fends it off, keeping that headlock strapped in tight. Can’t say this is what I expected, thought the pace would quicken a bit, but right now, Adam is relying on that technical wrestling ability to back him here against TLA.
Deadprez: And clearly has kept finishing this thing off in the back of his mind, evident when going for both the Honor Bomb and Lucas Lock early on, but the champ is too fresh for that. And right now begins powering back to a vertical base, trying to bounce Lucas off the ropes! But Adam skids to a halt in the center of the ring, dropping down to a knee, and bringing TLA down to one with him in that side headlock, which has remained tight throughout all this!
Eve: TLA powers back to his feet again, and starts to deliver forearms to the ribcage of Adam, effectively breaking that grip, and allowing him to rebound his opponent off the ropes!
Deadprez: OOH! Adam came back with a shoulder tackle, and the back of TLA’s head hit hard on the canvas.
Eve: TLA jolts up, clutching at the back of it, but Adam Lucas lunges into a rear chinlock, making sure to really wear down his opponent here.
Deadprez: TLA tries fighting back to a vertical base, but once doing so, Lucas takes him down with a side headlock, forcing TLA to fight back to vertical positioning again. All this exerts energy, and that’s exactly what Adam Lucas wants, but TLA starts to deliver forearm shots the ribs again, and Adam’s grip starts to loosen, not break.
Eve: Lucas gets rebounded off the ropes, and TLA goes for a hip toss! However, Adam blocks it, planting his feet, and trying to reverse with a hip toss of his own! But TLA shows off that impressive athleticism by landing on his feet again, BUT IT WAS A TRAP THIS TIME, AND ADAM SHORT-ARMED HIM RIGHT INTO A CLOTHESLINE, DAMN NEAR TAKING THE HEAD OFF OF TLA! Cover is made, hook of the leg!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: You hear this crowd counting along with the referee, they really wanna see a title change here tonight, but TLA prevents that from happening with a strong kickout. TLA sits up, but gets once again caught in the rear chinlock, and that has to frustrate the performer, along with wearing them down, because this is a spot you don’t wanna be in, having just about no control.
Eve: Whether it frustrates TLA, whether it tires out TLA, or whether it does both, Adam Lucas continues to have a downright perfect game plan if that is the case. …But TLA fights back to his feet, delivering back elbows to the midsection, loosening the grip of Adam enough for him to slip out, and leans Lucas up against the ropes for an Irish whip!
Deadprez: DROPKICK! Adam ran right into a dropkick, clutching at his mouth and nose area while seated afterwards. BUT TLA RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR A SLIDING SINGLE LEG DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF LUCAS’ HEAD, POSSIBLY HITTING THE EAR! …Adam wisely rolls away, creating separation from his opposition, and picks himself up in the corner.
Eve: TLA connects with a knife edge chop, echoing throughout the arena, really riling the crowd up as Adam pushes past him to gingerly make his way outta the corner. But not for long as TLA grabs Adam’s head, and slams him face first off the top turnbuckle in the opposite corner. And now connecting with more knife edge chops.
Deadprez: Lucas tried to push past TLA to stagger outta the corner, but the champion pushes back him back into said corner, connecting with more knife edge chops, soon cracking Adams Lucas with a forearm before whipping him to the opposite corner. TLA CHARGES IN!!
Eve: BUT ADAM GETS THE BOOT UP, STAGGERING TLA BACK, AND CHARGES INTO HIM WITH ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE! Again, Adam Lucas is quick into the cover, having that leg hooked tight!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO-
Gavin Kirkland: Not even a two count this time as TLA kicks out.
Deadprez: Adam Lucas is quicker back to his feet than TLA, who’s still trying to knock some cobwebs out of his head. But TLA gets leaned up against the ropes before whipped off- NO! Reverses last minute, sending Adam instead, and reminiscent of earlier, he gets taken down with a shoulder tackle! Lucas runs off the ropes again, and knocks TLA back down with another shoulder tackle!
Eve: Adam rebounds off the ropes for a third time, but TLA has him scouted, rolling onto his belly, forcing Adam to leap over, AND TLA SPRINGS BACK TO HIS FEET FO- oh, we don’t find out as Adam Lucas hangs on to the top rope, refusing to run right into the arms of TLA. But if Adam Lucas isn’t gonna come to TLA, TLA’S GONNA COME TO HIM AS HE CHARGES IN!
Deadprez: HOWEVER, ADAM SENDS TLA UP AND OVER HIS SHOULDER, ATTEMPTING TO DUMP HIM TO THE OUTSIDE! BUT TLA CATCHES HIMSELF ON THE APRON, AND ADAM TAKES A WILD SWING, WHICH CAUSES TLA TO DROP OFF, AND DRAG ADAM UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE BY HIS FEET! Lucas gets sent back first into the barricade, clearly wincing in pain after that one.
Eve: But TLA rolls him back in, and shortly follows himself. Adam pulls himself up in the corner, but TLA comes in with stomps in the corner before connecting with forearm strikes! But one really just rocks Adam Lucas that extra bit, dropping him down to one knee, but TLA stands him up for knife edge chops in that corner now. Adam Lucas got a taste of these earlier, and it wasn’t pleasant.
Deadprez: You can see Adam’s chest beginning to redden like raw meat, but TLA snapmares him outta that corner for a DOUBLE BOOT SCRAPE! Adam sits up, clutching at his forehead, but TLA grabs him by the head, and slams him face first off the top turnbuckle. TLA wants more knife edge chops-
Eve: BUT ADAM LUCAS DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND STARTS TO TAG HIM WITH SOME OF HIS OWN! The crowd starts to rile themselves back up for Lucas, and TLA comes stumbling out of the corner. Adam begins connecting with right hand punches, and tries for another side headlock, but TLA quickly rebounds Adam off the ropes!
Deadprez: Drop down by the champion, and TLA tries for a leapfrog, BUT ADAM CATCHES HIM IN MID AIR FOR A SPINEBUSTER, NO DOUBT RATTLING THE SPINE OF TLA AS HE GOES FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THH-
Eve: KICKOUT! And Adam Lucas almost had him right there it seems, just tells you how much the element of surprise can help out, not to mention, the explosiveness Adam had on that spinebuster. But putting that aside, he’s back up, and helps TLA to his feet as well, pinning the champion up in the corner for an Irish whip to the opposite one. AND ADAM COMES IN WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK!
Deadprez: TLA’S STUNNED, AND ADAM TAKES ADVANTAGE WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX ON HIS GROGGY OPPONENT, BRIDGING IT FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHH-
Deadprez: TLA kicks out, and holds the back of his neck in pain, evidently getting dumped high on it. Adam Lucas thinks to himself while knelt on the canvas, what does he have to do next? But Adam starts to measure TLA up while he regains a vertical base, hoisting him up for a FALLAWAY SLAM! BUT ADAM ISNT DONE, RUSHING BACK TO HIS FEET FOR A RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS ONTO A DOWNED TLA, HOOKING THE LEG AFTERWARD!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHRRRRRR-
Eve: Adam has had a flurry of explosive offense, but it’s still not enough to put away TLA, yet at least. However, to say he isn’t in peril would be a lie.
Gavin Kirkland: If you’re expecting Adam Lucas to walk outta this with an easy victory, you’re expecting wrong as Adam is up against the man who ended Kassidy Heart’s tremendously boring Title reign, which I still thank him for by the way. :blessed:
Eve: :wow:
Deadprez: Adam Lucas stands TLA up, and scores with a right hand, but TLA fires back with an open handed chop! ANOTHER RIGHT HAND! BUT TLA WITH ANOTHER OPEN HANDED CHOP! Right hand punch by Adam Lucas stuns TLA, WHO COMES BACK WITH FOREARM SMASHES TO THE HEAD, DIFFERING WITH BOTH ARMS!
Eve: Lucas reels back up against the ropes, and gets Irish whipped off, BUT ADAM REVERSES, SENDING TLA INSTEAD FOR A BACK BODY DROP! TLA writhes in pain on the canvas after that high bit of elevation. Adam Lucas moves into the cover!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: One thing is: you can see Adam Lucas’ urgency, he isn’t here to have a five star match, he’s here to walk out as champion, and constant pins will bring him one step closer to that. Because kicking out expends energy, and TLA’s been forced to use lots of it lately. But Adam Lucas gets to one knee while TLA gets to all fours, and is hooked up for a suplex by Lucas, who helps TLA back to his feet.
Eve: SUPLE- NO! TLA SLIPS OUT THE BACK FOR AN INVERTED FRONT FACELOCK BACKBREAKER SPUN INTO AN ELBOW DROP! TLA kneels on the canvas, trying to catch his breath after that, leaving him unable to capitalize as Adam rolls away, picking himself up from all fours with assistance from the ropes. TLA approaches as Adam stands up, BUT EATS A BACK ELBOW FOR HIS TROUBLES!
Deadprez: And TLA smashes his elbow into the face of Lucas as payback! KICK TO THE GUT BY ADAM! And he tries to follow that up with a right hand, but TLA ducks underneath, backing Adam up against the ropes with repeated knife edge chops to the chest! Irish whip- but there’s a reversal by Lucas, AND TLA COMES OFF THE ROPES WITH A HURRICANRANA!
Eve: Both competitors are back to their feet, TLA a bit quicker than Adam, who’s favoring his back. AND TLA CHARGES IN, WHO FEINTS A FRONT KICK, AND CATCHES ADAM WITH A SPINNING BACK ELBOW! THE CHALLENGER’S ON WOBBLY LEGS, AND TLA TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A BRAINBUSTER, PLANTING HIM IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Deadprez: TLA starts his ascension to the top rope, and Adam better move quick.
Eve: We know TLA is very comfortable off the ground, and can drop devastating offense from anywhere. …420!!! SHOOTING STAR PRESS CONNECTS! BUT SHOCKINGLY, TLA DOESNT GO FOR THE COVER AS ADAM LUCAS ROLLS TO HIS SIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s odd, don’t understand the decision making behind that. :lupe:
Deadprez: I think TLA wants to definitively finish this one off here, and starts to pull a prone Adam up into a powerbomb position it seems. If I were to guess, maybe the Mexican Destroyer!
Eve: But Adam has it scouted, dropping down to a knee, and forcing TLA to power him back up into position. BUT ADAM TWIRLS OUT OF THIS PREDICAMENT, GOING FOR ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE, BUT TLA DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT, TRYING TO SCORE A FAST ONE HERE WITH A BACKSLIDE!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: TWO COUNT! AND BOTH COMPETITORS ARE BACK UP! TLA GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE OF HIS OWN, WHICH ADAM DUCKS UNDERNEATH ALSO, AND REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES BEHIND TLA FOR A CROSSBODY! BUT THE CHAMPION WISELY FALLS FLAT BACK ON THE MAT TO AVOID IT, SO ADAM WINDS UP HITTING NO ONE!
Eve: Lucas rolls out of the ring, clutching at his abdominal region, possibly cracking a few ribs there as he landed pretty hard on them.
(TLA surveys the situation, and sees Adam hurt on the outside, showing his plan worked.)
TLA: :lick:
Deadprez: The gears are starting to turn in the head of TLA, who watches Adam pick himself up using the barricade. You can see the fans willing him on, telling Adam to get up, BUT HES ABOUT TO GO BACK DOWN AS TLA SOARS THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!
Eve: BUT TLA GOT CAUGHT IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY BY LUCAS, WHO EYES THE RINGPOST! ALTHOUGH, TLA SLIPS OUT BEHIND ADAM, AND SENDS HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS!
Deadprez: TLA can breathe a sigh of relief as he sends Adam Lucas back into the ring for a cover!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: Adam kicks out, sitting himself up, BUT TLA PUTS HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A KICK TO THE CHEST! Lucas rolls over to a prone position before moving to all fours. TLA takes advantage with a kick to the shoulder that went into the steel steps, grabs the now kneeling Adam into a hammerlock.
Eve: OOH! HE JUST SENT ADAM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! TLA wraps Adam’s arm around the top rope, and places his foot on the middle for leverage as he yanks on it. Referee is gonna have no choice but to intervene.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Deadprez: TLA releases at the count of three, perhaps getting the top caught up in inflicting damage on his opponent, he blocked out the referee’s count.
Eve: But this is very smart on TLA’s end, softening up that arm for a possible Crossed Paths attempt later on. Could we be seeing Adam tap out? …the referee pulls TLA away from Adam, who stumbles out of that corner favoring the shoulder. BUT TLA SENDS HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST NOW AFTER BEING FREE FROM THE REFEREE’S SCOLDING!
(The crowd’s booing intensifies, not liking to see their hometown hero picked apart like this.)
Deadprez: Lucas falls through the middle rope, and to the outside, heavily wincing in pain, showing just how much agony he’s in. But he needs to snap out of it quick, because the referee’s count has just begun.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Eve: Adam Lucas gets to a knee with help from the ring skirt, but TLA, who isn’t gonna be content winning by countout, brings Lucas up to the apron, grabbing him by the hair. TLA wrenches the arm of Adam before pulling him in through the middle rope, and drops repeated elbows on that shoulder after wringing it.
Deadprez: Adam falls to a knee, BUT TLA STANDS HIM BACK UP FOR A DOUBLE KNEE ARMBREAKER! Adam is rolling in agony, AND TLA TAKES THIS TIME TO CONNECT WITH CROSSED PATHS! THE CROSS ARMBREAKER IS LOCKED IN! NOWHERE TO GO FOR LUCAS, WHOS IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: He’s trying to use those legs, and hands to reach, but it’s serving no use right about now. I think Adam’s gonna tap out, and how embarrassing would that be in his hometown?!
Eve: THE CROWD IS RALLYING BEHIND ADAM LUCAS, NOW MORE THAN EVER, WANTING HIM TO BREAK OUT OF THIS THING! HOWEVER, ADAM RAISES THAT HAND, HES GONNA TAP OUT I THINK!
Deadprez: NO! ADAM GETS TO BOTH FEET, STACKING UP TLA FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: NO! TLA realizes what was happening, and inches his shoulder up off the mat, forcing Adam to change approaches, LIFTING TLA SLIGHTLY OFF THE MAT, AND PLANTING HIM WITH A POWERBOMB TO BREAK THE HOLD! Adam slams his fist into the injured arm, trying to pump some life back into it, and runs off the ropes for an elbow drop! But he misses as TLA last second moves out of the way, doing further damage to Adam Lucas.
Deadprez: Adam slowly gets back to his feet, meanwhile, TLA beats him to the punch by just a bit, backing Adam up against the ropes with a hard forearm, and attempting an Irish whip off the ropes after! Adam reverses, and sends TLA instead! Lucas ducks down, hoping to have a repeat of earlier with the back body drop! BUT TLA STOPS HIMSELF SHORT FOR A PENALTY KICK RIGHT TO THE SHOULDER!
Eve: TLA RUNS OFF THE ROPES IN FRONT OF LUCAS, BUT FOR WHAT- WE DONT KNOW AS ADAM CATCHES TLA WITH A DROPKICK! The champ is quickly back to his feet though, AND GETS PUT DOWN WITH ANOTHER DROPKICK! But TLA remains persistent, almost running off of instinct at this point as he again gets back to his instantly. DISCUS PUNCH PUTS TLA ON SPAGHETTI LEGS, AND TAKES ADVANTAGE WITH AN IRISH WHIP OFF THE ROPES!
Deadprez: HONOR BOMB! ADAM LUCAS CAUGHT TLA WITH THE HONOR BOMB! HIP TOSS INTO A CRADLE PILEDRIVER! But Adam Lucas isn’t gonna call it a day just yet, and similar to TLA earlier, wants to be sure that his opponent is done, now lining him up.
Gavin Kirkland: TLA might not wanna turn around.
Deadprez: TLA got knocked loopy with that piledriver, you can see he’s swinging at air before turning around to face Adam Lucas, WHO TRIES FOR A SHORT-ARM POP-UP POWERBOMB!
Eve: BUT TLA MANAGES TO COUNTER, LEAPING RIGHT OVER THE HEAD OF LUCAS, HAVING SOME FIGHT LEFT IN HIM! ADAM TURNS AROUND, AND ALMOST GETS CAUGHT WITH THE SWAG SHOT, BUT DUCKS UNDER THE PIMP HAND SLAP BY TLA, SHOVING HIM INTO THE ROPES FOR LEVEL UP TO FINALLY CONNECT!
Deadprez: Yeah, but it put a lot of pressure on the injured shoulder of Lucas, causing there to be some hesitation before he tries for the pinfall after nursing said shoulder.
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE-
Eve: AND AS A RESULT, TLA EXPLODES OUT OF THE COVER! Much to the chagrin of everybody in this arena, especially Adam Lucas, who simply can only shake his head, but not in complete disbelief, realizing the caliber of opponent TLA is.
Deadprez: Adam has gotta keep pressing forward, and press forward he does, grabbing TLA by the head, and back of his tights, sending him out through the middle rope. And did you hear the smack when TLA’s body hit the outside. Speaking of, TLA is sprawled out, and doesn’t look to have much of any fight left in him right now. But regardless, Adam heads out through the middle rope, picking up a limp TLA, and driving him back first into the apron.
Eve: That certainly brought some life back into TLA, who has a look of pain etched across his face, but it’s not about to be wiped off anytime soon as Adam Lucas lifts him up off the floor, almost in position for something like a spinebuster. But from there, HE DRIVES TLA BACK FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST ALSO! …Adam Lucas rolls TLA back in, hooking the leg for a cover now!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
TH-
Deadprez: TLA gets the shoulder up, and Adam Lucas stands him up in a front facelock.
Eve: Look at Adam, targeting himself a body part now, that being TLA’s back, delivering clubbing blows. Adam tries for that suplex now, and TLA is doing his best to block it, planting his feet in the center of the ring. BUT ADAM GETS HIM UP ANYWAYS, WHAT A RAW SHOWING OF POWER! Adam’s quickly into the cover after that!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: Kickout at two by TLA, and Adam Lucas straps on a rear chinlock, driving that knee between the shoulder blades.
Eve: Adam wrenches back, and similar to TLA, if he keeps up this targeting of the back, that’ll make his sharpshooter even more dangerous.
Deadprez: TLA starts to fight back to his feet, and backs Adam up into the corner, gonna force a break here.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! F-
Eve: Adam relinquishes TLA from his grasp, AND THE CHAMPION OPPORTUNISTICALLY CONNECTS WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP! We’ve seen plenty of those this match up already, and TLA simply starts to pummel Adam Lucas with punches to the head, sinking him in that corner before Irish whipping him into the opposite corner!
Deadprez: BUT ADAM LUCAS COUNTERS, AND WHIPS TLA INTO THE CORNER INSTEAD! CAUSING THE CHAMPION TO GO UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE, WIPING OUT ON THE OUTSIDE! Realizing that he can’t win the title by count out, Adam exits the ring once catching a quick breather, barely slowing down in this contest, and rolls TLA back into the ring.
Eve: The champion slowly starts to pick himself up off the mat, not knowing that Adam Lucas is on the apron behind him. TLA turns around, AND GETS TAGGED WITH A SPRINGBOARD FOREARM SMASH! BEAUTIFUL IN RING OFFENSE BY ADAM LUCAS, WHO HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEE-
Deadprez: TLA POPS THE SHOULDER UP! You can sense an air of frustration now with Adam Lucas, but he stands the dazed champion up, and bounces him face first off the top turnbuckle, lifting him up there afterwards.
Gavin Kirkland: I think we’re gonna see a superplex.
Eve: For once in your life, Gavin, you are correct as Adam Lucas climbs to the middle rope, hooking TLA up for the suplex now.
Deadprez: BUT THE LATIN ASSASSIN STARTS TO FIGHT BACK WITH SHOTS TO THE RIB CAGE BEFORE SLAMMING ADAM’S HEAD REPEATEDLY ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE TIL HES DOUBLED OVER! LOOK OF INTENSITY IN THE EYES OF TLA AS HE PEELS ADAM LUCAS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPES WITH AN AVALANCHE SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!
Eve: But TLA leans back against the bottom turnbuckle, too exhausted to even make a cover here as Adam Lucas rolls halfway across the ring, nicely creating distance.
Deadprez: No surprise he’s exhausted, a move like that can take a lot out of you, but it’s worth it. Because as you can see, Adam Lucas is hurt, and hurt bad off of that.
Eve: So much so, neither competitor can take advantage right now.
Deadprez: …takes em a while, but both competitors are finally beginning to stir. TLA pulls himself up in the corner, meanwhile, Adam pulls himself up to all fours in the center of the ring. Being on his feet first, TLA heads over to maintain the upper hand.
Eve: BUT THERES ADAM LUCAS WITH A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN, AND HES GONNA TRY FOR THAT SHARPSHOOTER, BUT TLA FIRMLY KICKS HIM AWAY, AND THE BACK OF ADAM’S HEAD WHIPLASHED HARD!
Deadprez: The challenger rolls out to the apron,and uses the ropes to pick himself up. BUT KEEP YOUR EYES ON TLA, WHO BARRELS INTO ADAM WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE, AND OOH!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM CAME FLYING FACE FIRST INTO OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE COVER! :damn:
Eve: And now he’s laid out right in front of us. TLA starts to formulate a game plan, and it might be one with cruel intentions on the mind as he exits the ring, dislodging the steel steps, and removing the top one of the bottom.
Deadprez: That’s the same steel steps Adam Lucas went shoulder first into earlier, creating a new target for TLA during this matchup.
Eve: Well, they’re about to pay dividends again as TLA brings Adam up on the bottom step, putting him in position for a powerbomb. But we both know what he has planned here, and that’s the Mexican Destroyer off that elevated area onto the floor, which has very thin padding, mind you. …TLA FLIPS FOR THE MEXICAN DESTROYER!
Deadprez: NO! ADAM LUCAS BACK BODY DROPPED HIM OVERHEAD, AND THAT BACK OF TLA GETS PUT THROUGH MORE PUNISHMENT!
Eve: The champion writhes in pain on the floor as Adam Lucas rolls back into the ring, and back out, smartly restarting the referee’s count.
Deadprez: Adam Lucas leans up against the barricade now, simply stalking TLA while catching his breath, somewhat exhausted from a match this long, and hard hitting. I mean, just look at the chest of Adam Lucas, you’ll see some battle scars right there.
Eve: Adam starts to drive that shoulder into the barricade, and something we didn’t address was if it came out of place during all that limb damage TLA was doing, especially on the cross armbreaker, which can put anyone on the shelf if done right.
Deadprez: TLA starts to pick himself up using our announce table, BUT HERE COMES ADAM LUCAS TO CHARGE IN!
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK OUT! :krabs:
(The commentary team clear out the way as Adam Lucas spears TLA over the announce table.)
Eve: OH MY GOD! ADAM LUCAS JUST SPEARED TLA OVER OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE, AND NOW JUST MOUNTING HIM WITH PUNCHES BEHIND IT!
Deadprez: ITS IN TIMES LIKE THIS YOU START TO SEE THE TRUE VICIOUS NATURE OF SOMEONE COME OUT, AND RIGHT NOW, ADAM LUCAS IS KICKING INTO SECOND GEAR!
Eve: Adam rises off of TLA, and taunts that the crowd stand up! Gonna guess that means the match’ll be over soon if Lucas has his way, sliding TLA back into the ring. AND THERE IT IS! THE LUCAS LOCK! THE LUCAS LOCK IS CINCHED IN! TLA HAS NOWHERE TO GO IN THAT SHARPSHOOTER!
Deadprez: YOU CAN SEE THE CHAMPION START TO PANIC, WHICH IS A RARE SIGHT! BUT THAT HAND OF TLA IS RAISED, AND WE COULD BE SEEING HIM TAP OUT RIGHT HERE!
Eve: AND IF TLA IS HAVING ANY DOUBTS, ADAM LUCAS FURTHER WRENCHES BACK ON THAT SHARPSHOOTER THE FARTHEST HE CAN! DETERMINATION ETCHED ACROSS THE FACE!
Deadprez: NOT GONNA BE BEATEN THIS EASILY, TLA RISES OFF THE MAT, AND BEGINS TO CRAWL OVER TO THE ROPES! ADAM’S HOLD IS STARTING TO COME APART OF BIT HERE, AND HE FALLS TO A KNEE THANKS TO TLA’S CONTINUOUS FIGHT!
Eve: BUT THE HOLD IS CINCHED BACK IN RIGHT BEFORE TLA COULD GRAB ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE! ADAM LUCAS IS BACK TO WRENCHING TIGHTLY ON IT, AND TLA LOOKS LIKE HES GONNA FADE POSSIBILITY!
Deadprez: EITHER WAY, YOU CAN TAP OUT, YOU CAN PASS OUT, THE TITLE IS GONE!
Eve: NO! TLA MAKES A LAST MINUTE LUNGE FOR THE BOTTOM ROPE, AND NOW ADAMS WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BREAK THE HOLD, OR SIGN AWAY HIS ANSWER WORLD TITLE DREAMS HERE!!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Deadprez: Adam Lucas finally breaks off of TLA, who looks to be about out of it right now, having that hand rested on the bottom rope while prone.
Eve: Adam Lucas reigns down on the back of TLA with stomps, but the referee pulls him away, admonishing him for the action, but emotions are running high, aggression is starting to pour out.
Deadprez: We’re far from the technical wrestling we saw at the beginning as now Adam Lucas lines up TLA, who picks himself up using the ropes, back to his opponent, no idea what’s coming next as he turns around into a KICK TO THE GUT! ADAM HOISTS HIM UP FOR A POWER- NO! IT GOT REVERSED INTO THE MEXICAN DESTROYER! ADAM GOT SPIKED RIGHT ON HIS HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: It’s over! TLA has this won!
Eve: All he needs to do is crawl over, and place that hand across the chest, which he does! Adam’s done!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!
….
….
….
Deadprez: SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, ADAM LUCAS KICKS OUT! TLA certainly didn’t expect that, and felt as if he had the match won right there. But you can’t get frustrated in a situation like this, you already gotta be back on the opposition. Abs TLA thinks to himself on what’s next, but look at Adam Lucas, who tried pulling himself up using the ropes as we’ve seen him do before, but didn’t have the energy too, just hanging himself up on the middle rope.
Eve: TLA sees his opponent draped on the middle rope, and might’ve just gotten his next plan of attack already, rebounding off the opposite set of ropes! FOR A TIGER FEINT KICK, AKA THE 305! BUT ADAM LUCAS DUCKS DOWN IN TIME TO AVOID IT! TLA STOPS HIMSELF IN THE RING, AND TURNS AROUND TO WANDER RIGHT INTO THE LEVEL UP! POP-UP POWERBOMB CONNECTS AGAIN, AND ADAM FALLS INTO THE COVER, BARELY HOOKING THE INSIDE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!
Deadprez: FOOT ON THE ROPE! TLA GOT HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE! And Adam Lucas starts to pound the mat in frustration, knowing that was it, if he’d had just hooked the outside leg, he’d probably be standing here right now as the Answers World Champion.
Eve: But the longer a match gets, sometimes the sloppier you can get at times, and Adam made a clear miscalculation, but I don’t think a slip up like that’s gonna happen again. If one of these men are hit with the other’s move again, I’m not sure if there’ll be much resilency left to kickout.
Deadprez: Adam Lucas clears the hair out of his face, and you can see the fired up expression as TLA finds himself in the corner, trying to get his wits about him. BUT ADAM LUCAS CHARGES IN WITH A CLOTHESLINE, AND RUNS TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER TO BUILD MOMENTUM FOR ANOTHER! AND ANO- NO!
Eve: TLA CAME OUT OF THE CORNER WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Expending all the energy he had for that one as now both he and Adam are down. TLA prone on the canvas, and Adam sprawled out. If TLA could, now would be the perfect time for a pin.
Deadprez: …both competitors start to slowly regain vertical positioning once more, grabbing onto the back of each other’s heads as they do. AND ADAM LUCAS CONNECTS WITH A RIGHT!
Crowd: YAY!
Deadprez: TLA FIRES BACK WITH A FOREARM!
Crowd: BOO!
Eve: SUPERKICK BY ADAM LUCAS, BUT AFTER STAGGERING BACK, TLA LANDS THE SAME! Adam Lucas is glazed over, BUT STILL THROWS ANOTHER RIGHT HAND SHOT TO THE SKULL! FOREARM BY TLA! SHOT TO THE UNPROTECTED BODY BY ADAM LUCAS!
Deadprez: ELBOW SMASH BY TLA! AND ADAM HITS ANOTHER PUNCH! BOTH MEN RUN OFF THE OPPOSITE SET OF ROPES TO EACH OTHER, AND COLLIDE WITH A DOUBLE CROSSBODY!
Eve: TLA and Adam Lucas just got the wind taken out of both their sails, and after getting it back, crawl over toward one another.
Deadprez: Both their heads begin to rest on each other’s shoulder, using their opponent’s body and momentum to get back to their feet. ADAM LUCAS LANDS A HARD SLAP ACROSS THE FACE OF TLA, AND I THINK THAT FIRED HIM UP!
Eve: SWAG SHOT! TLA WITH A PIMP SLAP ACROSS THE FACE OF ADAM, TALK ABOUT A WAY TO ONE UP! BUT LUCAS HITS TLA WITH A PIMP SLAP OF HIS OWN, AND THE TWO BEGIN TO EXCHANGE JUST SLAPS IN GENERAL!
Deadprez: TLA GETS THE UPPER HAND IN SAID EXCHANGE, HITTING ADAM FROM BOTH SIDES, DESPITE ATTEMPTS TO COVER UP! AND LUCAS EXPLODES WITH A STEP-UP ENZIGURI TO REGAIN CONTROL!
Eve: THE MOMENTUM OF TLA HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY HALTED AS ADAM WHIPS HIM INTO THE CORNER, CHARGING IN RIGHT AFTER! BUT TLA GOES UP AND OVER- OR SHOULD I SAY TRIED TO, BUT ADAM CAUGHT HIM ON HIS SHOULDER, AND WALKS WITH TLA TO THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Deadprez: BUT TLA! TLA SPUN OUT WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL DDT, SPIKING ADAM LUCAS ON HIS HEAD!
Eve: TLA rolls Adam over onto his back, but isn’t looking for the cover, and goes to climb up the top rope, back facing his opponent. If I were to guess, we’re on the verge of seeing Burnout. But- wait, TLA repositions himself to face Adam Lucas on the top rope, seeing that Lucas was stirring, and didn’t wanna leave himself in a vulnerable position like that.
Deadprez: TLA OFF THE TOP WITH A DRAGONRANA! …BUT ADAM LUCAS HOLDS HIM IN PLACE, AND POWERS TLA BACK UP IN POSITION FOR A POWERBOMB! LEVEL UP!
Eve: MIGHTA SPOKE A BIT TOO SOON THERE, PARTNER, AS TLA COUNTERS WITH A HURRICANRANA, HOOKING BOTH LEGS IN THE COVER!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHRRRRRRR-
Deadprez: Adam is quickly back to his feet after that, and TLA only gets up to a knee. Lucas grabs the shoulder of his opponent, BUT TLA COMES OUTTA NOWHERE WITH THE CARTEL KICK! THE PELE KICK DROPS ADAM LUCAS, AND PUTS HIM IN DROP ZONE DISTANCE FOR THE BURNOUT! TLA stomps down on the chest of Lucas before ascending to the top rope…
Eve: BURNOUT! THE CORKSCREW 360 SENTON CONNECTS, AND TLA HOOKS THE OUTSIDE LEG!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
(Foot on the ropes)
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE’S YOUR WINNER…AND STILL THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…TLA!!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac plays to a mixed reaction from the crowd, mostly booing, but a small margin able to cheer after witnessing such a great match between these two, and seeing TLA score the hard fought victory. TLA sits himself up on the mat, and is handed his Championship, which he raises high after being helped to his feet by the ref.)
Eve: TLA has retained his Answers World Championship!
Deadprez: But Showdown’s main event match for Pain for Pride is still subject to change with the Grand Rampage match coming.
Eve: Yeah, will we see Impact keep his spot? Or will it go to someone else on the Showdown roster?
Gavin Kirkland: MY MONEY’S ON LIMMY MONAGHAN! LET’S RUN IT BACK! TLA GOT LUCKY!
Eve: :wow:
(While posing on the turnbuckle with his Title, the replay for the match shows up, and what’s caught this time round is Adam Lucas having his free foot on the middle rope due to TLA hooking the pin too deep, and Adam tries bringing this to the referee’s attention angrily, the two going back-and-forth.)
Deadprez: Guys, Adam might have a legitimate gripe here, seeing the footage back, he indeed did have his foot on the middle rope.
Eve: I guess the excitement caused us to miss it.
(The marginal crowd reaction even turns to boo, everyone flocking to the side of Adam Lucas, going as far to throw trash in the ring, feeling as if he got screwed. TLA steps off the middle rope, and turns around to interject between Lucas and the referee.)
Eve: Looks like Adam is explaining to TLA what really went down.
Deadprez: Adam kicks the bottom rope in frustration, and you can see TLA clearly trying to appease things. He had the same clue as the rest of us, which is none.
Eve: If that’s enough to see a rematch between the two, I wouldn’t be mad.
(TLA extends his hand to Lucas, trying to smooth things over, but after taking a long glance at it, Adam simply turns around and starts to walk away, but he stops. Looking down at the floor, Adam Lucas takes a deep breath, knowing he was cheated, knowing that he was pinned. He looks up at his hometown folks who cheer him with a standing ovation. He nods and turns to TLA, the two of them glaring at each other but TLA still has his hand out for the shake.)
Deadprez: What is Adam going to do? He has to be so damn disappointed right now, this was his hometown, the Main Event of Night one, it was his chance and the referee is refusing to look at the replay, even though he saw TLA’s foot earlier!
Eve: That’s the worst part! That Adam Lucas was not really pinned! His foot was on the rope and this match should have continued. Look at Adam, he is turning to the referee is pleading with him.
(The referee holds up three, a dejected Adam again turns back, pacing a little as TLA continues to have his hand out to shake it. Adam Lucas looks at it, then walks up to TLA one more time and he grabs his hand and shakes it. The crowd erupts in cheers….)
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LUCAS SHOWING SPORTSMANSHIP AND CLASS! My Bromance’s are getting along and this is a good day to be in the EAW! Adam is the future and I know that his time will come!
Eve: There is no doubt about it! Adam Lucas will be a World Champion and it may not be this season but it sure as hell could be the next!
(Adam nods and starts to walk out, TLA looks at the crowd and bows as they really love their hometown boy. Adam steps out of the ring and is on the apron ready to drop to the floor but looks at the crowd one more time and nods…)
Eve: What an ovation Adam Lucas is seeing here tonight and we really love to see this from two great competitors…..
Deadprez:….. OH MY GAWD IT’S THE BUCKSHOT LARIAT ON TLA!!!! WHAT THE HELL!!!! ADAM LUCAS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND LAID OUT TLA AND LOOK AT THE REFERE! HE LOOKS STUNNED AND ADAM GRABS THE REFEREE AND UP IN THE AIR THE NEXT LEVEL HE JUST LAID OUT THE REFEREE! HE JUST DESTROYED THE OFFICIAL TOO!
(The crowd is stunned but they still cheer the hometown hero on as Adam looks down at the World Championship, he picks it up and looks at TLA who is stirring on the ground….)
Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) This isn’t over!
(Adam takes one last glance at the Answers World Championship before dropping it on TLA. He looks at the crowd and shakes in anger as they continue to cheer for him.)
Eve: I AM COMPLETELY STUNNED! ADAM LUCAS LOST TONIGHT UNFORTUNATELY BY A REFEREE MISTAKE BUT THIS WAS NOT THE WAY TO ANSWER BACK!
Deadprez: You know… I don’t blame him for being upset but Adam Lucas will have to face the consequences for his actions!
Gavin Kirkland: Nooooooo! Not like this!
Deadprez: Adam Lucas….. Damn it! Just made a statement but TLA is STILL the Answers World Champion!
Gavin Kirkland: WHY ADAM!?!?! WHY!?!?!
(Adam continues to look down at TLA and the downed referee as officials come running out to check on both as he raises his arms and the hometown crowd continues to cheer as the camera fades to black.)
(As the footage ends, it fades into ringside.)
Deadprez: You may well notice Gavin isn’t with us any longer. Well, I don’t know what is going on here, but someone has decided to give Gavin Kirkland an interviewing stint.
Eve: Perhaps they got desperate or something? Mikaela and Kyra busy?
Deadprez: I don’t know, but he is waiting in the ring, so I guess it’s over to you Gavin.
(Gavin excitedly takes his cue, the camera however catching Eve and Deadprez shrugging their shoulders at each other.)
Gavin Kirkland: That’s right, you get to see even more of good ol’ Gavin this week, because I have been given the uber important job of interviewing the most destructive force in the EAW today. You get the best group in one ring, then it makes sense that you call for the most unbiased, and greatest interviewer that even lived, isn’t that right Prez?
(Camera pans back to Deadprez who literally is speechless.)
Gavin Kirkland: See, he can’t find the words Ladies and Gents.
Eve: I can… this is ridiculous already
(Gavin either doesn’t hear that in his earpiece, or he chooses to ignore it.)
Gavin Kirkland: But enough about me, why don’t we get out the most dominant group in EAW history, and the next EAW Unified Tag Team Champions and Answers World Champion. I, Gavin Kirkland the Great, give you… THE BRITISH INVASION!!!!
(The lights go out, and a female voice screams “refuse”, then “RESIST” and then finally “RECLAIM” as ‘Refuse / Resist’ by Sepultura hits over the PA system. The fans go literally nuts as a lone spotlight hits the staging, and Pandora Paisely, Halsey Neel and Daryl Kinkade step into it. They stand there for a few moments, taking in the reaction before making their way towards the ring.)
Deadprez: You know, you have to admit, something has changed for these three individuals. I know we say a lot about these kinds of groups, but these three seem to have something about them.
Eve: I’m always cynical, just like I was with Devolution, but right now there is certain a sense of unity, I cannot deny that.
(Pandora taunts the fans at ringside, as Halsey slides into the ring, Daryl joining her. Pandora then gets in the ring also, as they stand in unison, as the British flag falls from the rafters. Gavin applauds, as the music starts to fade, Daryl conducting the orchestra as the boos seem even louder with the music over. Finally, the noise level is such that Gavin can step forwards, Daryl Kinkade putting an arm around his shoulder.)
Gavin Kirkland: Wow, this is such an honor. To be in the ring with you Daryl, you as well Halsey. And Pandora… just… wow.
(Pandora gives him a cheeky little wave, Gavin’s cheeks visibly reddening, and he immediately gets a little flustered.)
Deadprez: This has turned into car crash television already.
Gavin Kirkland: Where was I? Oh yes, I’ve already spoken of you being the most dominant force in EAW today, why do you think these fans have the audacity to boo you.
Daryl Kinkade: Ah, that’s an easy one bruv.
(Gavin doesn’t hear a thing, as Pandora is giving him the eye, and being very flirty with him.)
Daryl Kinkade: Bruv?
Gavin Kirkland: Sorry Darly, it’s just…
Daryl Kinkade: Yeah, I know, you got a thing for Pandora.
Gavin Kirkland: N-No, I don’t.
Pandora Paisley: Yeah, you do mate… don’t fight it, I got you.
(Daryl laughs, as Gavin stretches his collar.)
Gavin Kirkland: Are these arena lights hot tonight or what?
Halsey Neel: Or maybe you’re just hot for Pandora.
(The British Invasion all laugh, and Pandora seems to be playing up to Gavin’s obvious infatuation. Halsey even comedically moves out of her way so Pandora can stand next to Gavin which makes him even more obvious.)
Daryl Kinkade: Look, Gav’s pleased to see us.
(Gavin immediately looks down towards his groin and is relieved not to have a boner on live television.)
Daryl Kinkade: Gotcha bruv, but who could have blamed ya? Pandora seems to like you.
Gavin Kirkland: She does. You do?
(Pandora bites her bottom lip and nods her head, an act which takes Gavin over the edge.)
Daryl Kinkade: Look, before this gets all explicit, let me answer the question. You’re right Gav, we are the most dominant faction in this company, because we all have one goal. We know we are the best, and now we know that we must prove it to these people. They boo, because they know that we can and will. And that there is a certain inevitability about it all.
Halsey Neel: Daryl’s right… Pandora and I know that Devolution didn’t work out the way we wanted it to. But we are not stupid, and we recognize the mistakes that were made… not by us might I add. Now, we have that togetherness that was lacking, and we are all British, which helps. We can trust each other to do what is required.
(Gavin is absolutely mesmerized by Pandora, who is really playing up to it, and twirling her hair. It’s not certain as to whether Gavin has heard a word thus far, but he asks his next question anyway.)
Gavin Kinkade: So, how are you going to celebrate your wins at Grand Rampage?
Halsey Neel: For that answer, you have understood just how big a deal this would be for us. Unlike some around these parts, we know that words mean nothing. We are going to work hard to achieve our goals and do whatever it takes. But as hard as we work, we work just as hard when we party, isn’t that right Pandora.
Pandora Paisley: Too right mate, and no one knows how to party like the British Invasion. Will some take it as rubbing our victories in their faces? Sure, they will. But if they want to act like jealous wankers, let them. We’ll be too busy getting hammered and having fun with the people that matter.
Gavin Kirkland: And can I be a part of the festivities?
Deadprez: Oh my God, could this get anymore cringe?
Eve: Look, I don’t mind seeing Gavin make a fool of himself, but this is something else.
(Daryl steps away with a huge grin on his face, as Pandora links arms with Gavin, beads of sweat now glistening under the arena lights, as he looks like he is about to lose his shit.)
Pandora Paisley: Mate, I will PERSONALLY invite you to the party. You’ll be my special guest.
(This is too much for Gavin, and his legs almost buckle underneath him as he almost faints.)
Halsey Neel: Damn love, you are making him weak at the knees.
Daryl Kinkade: That’s all the blood rushing to you know where.
Pandora Paisley: What can I say… I’m intoxicating.
(Pandora unlinks her arms, as Daryl asks for a glass of water, passing it to Gavin who eagerly drinks it. Pandora speaks, regardless of questioning.)
Pandora Paisley: Listen to me mates and listen good. I know you’re all probably laughing at Gavin now, but that is exactly the reaction it should be whenever The British Invasion enters a ring. I get it, some of you don’t like us…
(Boos ring out again but Pandora cuts them off.)
Pandora Paisley: But you don’t have to like us, but you WILL respect us.
(Gavin has recovered enough to applaud her words.)
Gavin Kirkland (off mic): She is so amazing. I think I love her. In fact, I think I love you all.
Daryl Kinkade: (off mic): We get it bruv. And don’t blame you.
Halsey Neel: But like Pandora says, these are only words and you people, you want action. NICHOLISM are only the champions because WE made it happen. Because it was a part of the grand design. We respect the hell out of Jaded Hearts, but we removed them from the equation, quite simply because we had to.
Pandora Paisley: And now we have our opportunity, you are all going to see us in the way my new BFF Gavin does.
(She turns, this time blowing a kiss to Gavin who forms his fingers in the shape of a love heart.)
Eve: I’m done, this is awful. Can we take the ad break now so that I can find a sick bucket?
Pandora Paisley: You’ll see us, as the Unified Tag tea Champions. Just like we told you we would be.
Daryl Kinkade (off mic): This is my bit bruv.
Gavin Kirkland (off mic): Go get ‘em tiger.
(Daryl walks to the center of the ring, Pandora respectfully taking a step backwards.)
Daryl Kinkade: I told you all at the beginning of the year when Adam Lucas was LUCKY to defeat me, that this time would come. I told you that eventually I would get my opportunity to go again. Time after time I have been overlooked or screwed out of chances. Over and over, I’ve had to sit back and watch as people like Jon Kelton have given this business a bad name. Now, when I win the Grand Rampage, there will be no more excuses. I’ll be the one facing Viz, or Cy Henderson, and I’ll be the one reigning as the Answers World Champion. Sure, it’s been a long time coming, but you know what they say bruv, the best things come to those that wait. I’ll be the best damn Champion this company has ever seen, the bar that every single Elitist in this company should aspire to. And when I achieve that, OUR message will quite simply be…
(Halsey, Daryl and Pandora all stand in unison. Pandora beckons for Gavin to join them, which he eagerly does.)
Halsey Neel / Daryl Kinkade / Pandora Paisley: WE TOLD YOU SO!!!
(Pandora whispers something to Gavin who nods, as Halsey goes to a corner and climbs a turnbuckle, Daryl Kinkade doing the same as Pandora remains with Gavin in the ring and finds a camera she can speak down.)
Pandora Paisley: Final question Gavin?
Gavin Kirkland: What are you going to do at Grand Rampage?
Pandora Paisley: Invade Gavin. And WIN!!!
(Their music hits, Daryl and Haley jumping down, as Pandora gives Gavin a kiss on the cheek, before all three members of the British Invasion slide out the ring. As Pandora backs off, she gives Gavin another little wave, before then going back to taunt the fans. Gavin, however, slides out of the ring, and rejoins the announce team.)
Gavin Kirkland: Wasn’t that just the most amazing interview ever?
Deadprez: Are you serious right now?
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah, definite contender for interview of the year!
Eve: Gavin, you didn’t interview them. You fawned all over Pandora and that’s it.
Gavin Kirkland: You’re only jealous because you didn’t get a PERSONAL invite to the after party. Isn’t Pandora gorgeous, and the rest of the group… so nice!
Deadprez: I cannot believe what I am hearing.
Gavin Kirkland: Ooo, is that the green-eyed monster showing itself?
(The British Invasion stands at the top of the ring, predictably receiving boos to see them off and through the curtain.)
Deadprez: No, it’s me hoping that we can turn the show around after that show of…
Eve: Don’t say it Prez… let’s just move on.
(Gavin doesn’t care, he’s already rewinding the footage and looking back at the moment Pandora gave him a kiss on the cheek. He puts his hands where his heart would be, as the scene, thankfully, cuts away to an ad for Grand Rampage.)
(The camera returns to the commentary table where Deadprez begins to speak.)
Deadprez: As you can see, The British Invasion have the Tag Team Titles in their focus and they are ready to leave Grand Rampage as the Unified Tag Team Champion. Now let’s go on to our next Grand Rampage matc–
(Deadprez gets cut off by “Be Legendary” by Pop Evil playing through the arena. Seconds later, Adam Lucas enters the arena to extremely loud cheers from the crowd. Adam is all bandaged up and he has an enraged look on his face as he slowly makes his way to the ring.)
Eve: WHAT IN THE HELL IS ADAM LUCAS DOING HERE? ESPECIALLY WHEN HE IS IN THIS CONDITION?
Gavin Kirkland: Not even in as much pain as he is in right now can stop him after what happened last week. He can look past getting the crap beat out of him, but it’s what happened to his wife Dr. Bethany Blue Sunday on Voltage that has got him in this mindset.
Deadprez: Never in my life did I ever think that Caroline and Solomon Stane would reach the level of actually crucifying… you heard me. CRUCIFYING! Dr. Bethany Blue. It looks like Adam is coming down for a microphone and he has a lot to say.
(Adam reaches ringside and he grabs a microphone from Gina Romano, but as he turns around, there are a few security guards who are trying to stop Adam from entering the ring.)
Adam Lucas: What the hell are you doing?
Security Guard: We can’t let you get in the ring. Not in this condition.
Adam Lucas: Get out of my way!
Security Guard: Come on, Adam. You’re way too hurt. Just come with us to the back.
Adam Lucas: GET OUT OF MY WAY!
(Adam loses his composure and strikes the security guard with the microphone taking the first one out.)
Eve: OH MY GAWD!! ADAM IS BEATING UP THE SECURITY GUARDS! HE CLOCKED THE FIRST ONE IN THE HEAD WITH THE MICROPHONE–
Gavin Kirkland: AND HE JUST SLUGGED THE OTHER ONE WITH A RIGHT HAND HE IS JUST BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF THEM! NOTHING’S GONNA STOP ADAM FROM GETTING IN THAT RING! NOTHING!
(After he has taken out the security guards, he slides into the ring with the microphone as he glares up the entrance ramp and his music fades off.)
Adam Lucas: SOLOMON! CAROLINE! YOU MOTHER FUCKERS!!!
(The crowd starts to go crazy with cheers after hearing Adam call out Solomon and Caroline. They know he is mad and he isn’t gonna take it anymore.)
Adam Lucas: Beating me up on Sunday was one thing, but what I am mad about… NO! What I am PISSED about is that the two of you made me watch my own WIFE get crucified on Voltage.
(Adam is doing the best that he can to keep the anger out of his voice because he really wants to rip Solomon apart limb from limb. Crucifying his wife crossed a line and Adam has had it, but he does manage to reign in his temper before continuing to speak.)
Adam Lucas: Look. Bethany isn’t exactly the most popular person on the roster with the fans or with the locker room because she speaks her mind, she doesn’t have a filter, or does things her own way. I might not agree with that, but Bethany is my wife and I get it.
Adam Lucas: Bethany hurt your wife, Solomon, but we both know that SHE was the one who started it. What happened has happened and we can’t change that. But then we have Caroline who just can’t seem to let things go.
Adam Lucas: Two years ago, Caroline lost to Bethany at Pain for Pride. Caroline LOST within the rules of the match. But now Caroline wants revenge? For what? Because she just wasn’t good enough to beat Bethany? Explain that to me.
Adam Lucas: Be serious, Caroline! It’s not like Bethany cheated or anything like that to beat you. Now you want to mist her and then crucify her!?!? You know what? At Grand Rampage, I don’t give a DAMN what kind of match you guys choose! I just want to–
(Adam is then cut off by some laughing on the tron. Adam turns and sees Solomon Stane and Caroline, which elicits loud boos from the crowd.)
Adam Lucas: Where are you? Get your asses out here right now so we can fight!
Solomon Stane: What’s the matter, Adam? You didn’t like the little present we gave your wife? What a shame because me and Caroline are extremely pleased with what we did on Voltage. I bet it eats at your soul knowing that there wasn’t a damn thing you could have done to help her. Because of that, you are left with no choice but to face me and Caroline all by yourself at Grand Rampage….
Caroline: IN AN INFERNO MATCH!!
(The crowd lets out more loud cheers for the announcement of the inferno match. Not because they picked it, but because they want to see Adam get his revenge in the most painful of ways possible.)
Solomon Stane: Oh, Adam. I couldn’t think of a better way to put you down for good than watching the flames consume your body. Listen closely, Adam. At Grand Rampage, you are going to BURN IN HELL!
Caroline: And soon… your wife will go with you!
(Adam continues looking at the tron before he looks down and shakes his head.)
Adam Lucas: Oh, Solomon. Caroline. I should have known that you two cowards would never be here to meet me face to face. But if you really think that Bethany is out of commission, then you are all wrong because there is one thing you forgot to do.
Solomon Stane: Oh really? Ok, tough guy, I’ll bite. What did we forget to do?
Adam Lucas: …YOU FORGOT TO KILL HER!
(The look on Adam’s face changes from anger and annoyance to a devilish smirk as “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” by Van Halen starts to play and Dr. Bethany Blue enters the arena to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Her hands are bandaged after Sunday as she heads to the ring with a purpose.)
Deadprez: Here comes Dr. Bethany Blue and she looks ready to fight!
Eve: Honestly, I really don’t blame her. She got crucified on Sunday and if her hands weren’t bandaged, they would be around Caroline’s throat!
(Bethany slides into the ring and grabs Adam’s mic and glares right to the tron as her music fades off.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Caroline, you are such a dumb bitch.
(The crowd cheers at that as Caroline just shakes her head at that remark, not thinking much of it.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: You know I am happy that you guys chose to make this match an inferno match. Because if history has shown, I went through fire about four years ago and my ass is still here to tell the tale to a bunch of fucktards like yourselves.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Oh poor, sweet, stupid Caroline. Now that I know how broken of a bitch you are and have become ever since our match at Pain for Pride, I can’t wait for the Grand Rampage. Why? Because I am going to take much pleasure in watching your pathetic and useless carcass disintegrate in the flames while I take in your screams of pain as the inferno burns your flesh.
Dr. Bethany Blue: When all is said and done, your bodies will be burning. Then me and Adam will be there watching everything unfold AS YOU BOTH BURN IN HELL FOR GOOD!!
(The crowd is still cheering as Caroline and Solomon have expressionless looks on their faces before they both start laughing. Evil and maniacal laughter is coming from the duo as they disappear from the tron. Seconds later, Adam and Bethany look at each other as “Be Legendary” starts playing again.)
Eve: Oh my gawd! This is going to be more than just a match. This is going to be a full out war between these two teams next week at Grand Rampage.
Gavin Kirkland: Somebody is going to be burnt alive next week in the inferno match. Which sucks because Bethany and Caroline are already both extremely hot.
Eve: Can you stop trying to hit on the ladies of the roster for five minutes? This is serious business!
Deadprez: And getting even more serious with each passing second. I hope Caroline and Solomon are smiling and proud of themselves now because come Grand Rampage, these two are going to have to fight and possibly for their lives as Adam Lucas and Dr. Bethany Blue are out for revenge in the worst, and I mean WORST, way possible.
(The final shot shows Bethany completely angry as she just drops the mic and leaves the ring. Bethany is storming to the back as Adam is left in the ring, knowing that he and Bethany are about to step into a huge war as the camera shot fades elsewhere.)
(Gina Romano is standing in the center of the ring.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL AND IT’S FOR THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
( The scene switches to an aerial shot outside of Oracle Park. The night’s sky is lit up by downtown San Francisco’s buildings. The calmness of the stars and bright city lights last for a few seconds, until…a brightly lit helicopter flies into frame.)
Gavin Kirkland: Somebody called in the coast guards?
Eve: Anybody know what’s going on?
DeadPrez: It’s Martial Law. Trump about to cancel EAW…
( The Helicopter floats around the skyline just below the clouds as the red and black chopper begins to shoot red and black lasers from underneath it. We see the camera getting different angles of this brightly lit helicopter until we get a zoomed-in image of what’s on the side of it. )
//i.imgur.com/QUYibqr.png
DeadPrez: Yo, that’s Xander Payne!
( Indeed, Xander Payne is then shown inside the helicopter smiling devilishly as he flies himself over the buildings and towards the stadium. )
Eve: This man is insane. He better not crash that damn thing!
( Xander Payne begins to hover above the park, swaying back and forth as we get shots of him inside the helicopter laughing maniacally. Xander’s greatest achievements begin to fill the screens and the broadcasts.
( Xander Payne winning the EAW New Breed Championship. //i.imgur.com/OGtpsiF.jpg )
( Xander Payne winning the EAW Unified Tag Team Championships by himself. //i.imgur.com/ZjZ6BQl.jpg )
( Payne defeating Mr. DEDEDE. Xander Payne destroying many foes and opponents. Xander Payne’s face on advertisements. Xander Payne’s name on marquees. Xander Payne merchandise.)
( Xander Payne’s own brand of ice cream “Paynesicles” is shown as the noisy chopper that begins to descend into the arena. //i.imgur.com/dybzX3h.png )
Xander Payne: THIS IS ALL FOR ME!
( Xander begins to land the massive helicopter onto the empty seats of Oracle Park. )
Xander Payne: ‘IM TAKING THAT BELT TO PAYNE FOR PRIDE! IT’S MY TIME! MINE!
( Xander successfully pilots and lands the helicopter without damaging anything but the seats it lands on. )
Xander Payne: MY TIME!
DeadPrez: Jesus, why couldn’t Payne be the one that crashed in the helicopter and not Kobe…
( Xander steps out of the copter as the blades begin to slow down. The wind created from the blades blow against him and he stands on the seats in the crowd as he stares at himself on the side of the chopper. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, THE CHALLENGER… MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING…FROM TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA…HE IS THE PAYNEKILLER…XAAAAANDER PAYNE!!
( Xander basks in his own beautiful face, giving the helicopter with his face plastered on it with black and red colours a final kiss before turning and climbing over all the empty seats and making his way out of the crowd. )
Gavin Kirkland: I have seen some obnoxious entrances. Some cringe-worthy ones as well. But this
Eve: Yeah, he is so full of himself.
Gavin Kirkland: What? Excuse me?! This is the greatest entrance I’ve ever seen and I don’t even like this fat piece of shit! What an intro to what could be his biggest night ever! This is the biggest match of his career! What a way to let everyone know you are ready to swoop in and steal the show!
DeadPrez: And steal that World Championship from Cam or DEDEDE!
(Xander climbs into the ring and gets set. He is focused, confident, and ready for this match.)
(“Let It Go” by A$AP Ferg begins to play next and Mr. DEDEDE emerges onto the stage with the National Elite Champion, Kassidy Heart, by his side. Despite the beating she took earlier at the hands of Chris Elite, her nose is only slightly swollen and copious amounts of Shape Tape concealer no doubt hide some of the other bruising caused by what is either a break, or at the very least a fracture. She’s also changed into street clothes and flat, knee high boots. DEDEDE takes Kassidy’s hand and they begin to make their way to the ring.)
Gina Romano: AND THE CHALLENGER… BEING ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION, KASSIDY HEART… HAILING FROM THE RYAN ADAMS ESTATE IN SANTO DOMINGO, THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC… MR. DEDEDE!
Gavin Kirkland: Look at them little cheeks DEDEDE gets to spank peeking out of Kassidy’s shorts :noah: He is sooooooooooo lucky!!!
Deadprez: I’m not sure how lucky he’s going to be tonight once Xander Payne gets his hands on him. For months, this rivalry between Xander Payne and Mr. DEDEDE has been brewing and it’s about to come to a head tonight. Xander has done some dirty things to Mr. DEDEDE, don’t get me wrong, but Mr. DEDEDE crossed a damn line when he brought Xander’s family into the picture.
Eve: Well we know that DEDEDE won’t hesitate to bring families into the picture. We have seen him do it time and time again. There is no line he won’t cross which is why he is one of the most despicable men on the planet. Our Answers World Champion knows that first hand.
(Mr. DEDEDE gets into the ring and takes his corner, while Kassidy stands on the apron, whispering sweet nothings in his ear. Xander can’t help but give them a look of disgust.)
(“ULTRAnumb (Exterminated Remix by Exterminated)” by Blue Stahli plays next and after a moment, Cameron Ella Ava walks out. She is all smiles as she holds up the Answers World Championship and poses.)
Gina Romano: AND THEIR OPPONENT… FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA… SHE IS THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… ‘THE GODDESS’ CAMERON ELLA AVA!!!
Eve: It goes without saying that one of the best EAW moments in recent history is when Cameron Ella Ava overcame every single demon and every single setback that has haunted her in her decade long career to capture the Answers World Championship back at Road to Redemption. She had to go through hell in the Extreme Elimination Chamber in order to win the title, and she left everything she had in the ring in that match.
Gavin Kirkland: Cameron has been a fighting champion, one that Showdown can most certainly be proud of, and tonight she looks to get one step closer to that coveted Pain for Pride main event spot.
Deadprez: Xander Payne has been knocking on the door of greatness, showing us flashes of brilliance and why he is the future. Mr. DEDEDE is Mr. DEDEDE, but something tells me that Cameron is going to be more than prepared for the challenges these two will present to her. There is a lot on the line tonight for all three of these competitors, but for Cameron, tonight means the world to her.
(Cameron gets into the ring and holds the belt up. After a moment, she gives it one final smile before passing it over to the referee, who shows it to the competitors.)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(There’s no immediate movement as the bell rings. Mr. DEDEDE, Xander Payne, and the champion herself, Cameron Ella Ava, take a moment to stare one another down. All three of these competitors have a history with one another and it’s been filled with nothing but personal shots, mindgames, and everything else in between. No one has to tell them what’s on the line. No one has to tell them the stakes in this match are at an all-time high.)
Eve: I’m kind of surprised that no one is making a move. With the amount of talking the three of them have done this week, and everything we know that makes up their respective histories with one another, I fully expected them to all come out guns blazing.
Deadprez: I think all three of them are weary of one another at the moment. The history between Mr. DEDEDE and Cameron is well documented. Then you have to factor in the fact Xander Payne has gotten the better of Mr. DEDEDE several times, which prompted the Chairman to drag Xander’s family into the mix and make it personal…
Gavin Kirkland: And of course, that piece of shit has never hidden his misogynistic feelings for Cameron. Imagine someone like Xander being sexist and thinking all women are objects. Could never be me!
Eve: :skip:!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: :D!
Deadprez: The point is, all three competitors have their reasons for wanting to win this match. I don’t expect this to be pre-
Eve: XANDER MAKES THE FIRST MOVE AND NAILS MR. DEDEDE WITH A SPEAR! XANDER JUST CUT THE CHAIRMAN IN HALF WITH HIS OWN MOVE! XANDER IS BACK TO HIS FEET AND CAMERON COMES FLYING AT HIM WITH THE WONDER WOMAN PUNCH! FLYING FOREARM SMASH CONNECTS WITH XANDER’S FACE AND SENDS HIM INTO THE CORNER! CAMERON CHARGES XANDER AND CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING LARIAT AND XANDER SLUMPS TO THE GROUND! THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION RUNS AROUND THE RING AND COMES BACK AT XANDER… CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING HIGH KNEE STRIKE! CAMERON GRABS XANDER, RUNS TO THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND BULLDOGS HIM RIGHT INTO THE MAT! CAMERON JUMPS TO HER FEET AND CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE! SHE SCREAMS AT XANDER TO GET UP!
Deadprez: XANDER STAGGERS BACK TO HIS FEET AND THERE GOES CAM! ‘GLASS CEILING’!!! THE TOP ROPE STUNNER CONNECTS ON XANDER AND CAMERON GOES FOR THE COVER!!!

Eve: THIS IS A TRIPLE THREAT MATCH, WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE BEEN YELLING THE WHOLE TIME BECAUSE IT’S SO EXCITING, AND ANYTHING GOES!!! OH MAN!!!! I THINK XANDER HAS FOUND WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR!!!!
(Xander Payne pulls out a barbed wire wrapped bowling ball and looks at it with a smile on his face.)
Gavin Kirkland: You know, he looks like someone who would be in a bowling league. Fat, gross, and probably thinks rolling a ball down a lane is actual exercise…
Deadprez: :mjlol:
Eve: XANDER IS POINTING THE BOWLING BALL RIGHT AT CAMERON ELLA AVA!!! :lupe:!!! XANDER AIMS THE BALL, SLINGS IT, AND HITS A PERFECT STRIKE!

(DEDEDE pulls out your generic, average, everyday steel folding chair.)
Eve: DEDEDE GRABS A CHAIR AND HE IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO LAY WASTE TO XANDER PAYNE! DEDEDE SLAMS THE CHAIR DOWN ACROSS XANDER’S BACK OVER AND OVER AGAIN! HE FINALLY GETS BORED AND HE PULLS XANDER UP, PLACING HIM AGAINST THE RINGPOST!!! DEDEDE BACKS UP JUST A BIT AND HE SWINGS THE CHAIR!!!!
Deadprez: :damn: THE CHAIR CONNECTS AND XANDER’S HEAD IS ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED BETWEEN THE CHAIR AND THE RING POST!
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER IS DEAD AND DEDEDE THROWS THE CHAIR AT CAMERON, WHO IS STILL TRYING TO RECOVER FROM BEING HIT TWICE IN THE FACE WITH A BARBED WIRE WRAPPED BOWLING BALL! DEDEDE GRABS ALL 354 POUNDS OF XANDER’S DEADWEIGHT AND BASICALLY CEMENTS HIMSELF AS THE GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS HOLDER FOR STRONGEST MAN ALIVE AS HE THROWS XANDER BACK INTO THE RING! DEDEDE SLITHERS INSIDE AND THROWS HIMSELF OVER XANDER FOR A COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

Eve: NO!!!!! XANDER SOMEHOW KICKED OUT AT THE LAST SECOND!!!
Deadprez: THAT WAS HELLA IMPRESSIVE FROM XANDER PAYNE, BUT I’M PRETTY SURE ALL THAT DID WAS PISS DEDEDE OFF! DEDEDE HAS BACKED UP INTO THE CORNER NOW AND HE IS SCREAMING AT XANDER TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET! XANDER IS CLEARLY OUT OF IT, BUT HE IS SITTING UP AND DESPITE HAVING SPAGHETTI LEGS RIGHT NOW, HE’S TRYING TO STAND BACK UP! I HOPE HE’S NOT CONCUSSED :lupe:!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: WITH THAT FAT HEAD?! GIVE ME A BREAK, DEADPREZ!
Eve: SPEAR FROM DEDEDE!!! THE CHAIRMAN JUST CAUGHT XANDER WITH A SPEAR AND HE IS GOING FOR THE COVER! THIS COULD BE THE END OF THE MATCH!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEE-
Deadprez: CAMERON JUST BROKE UP THE PIN BY THROWING THE BOWLING BALL INTO THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: :damn: LOOK AT HER FACE! I BET WHEN HER ONLYFANS GETS REACTIVATED THERE WON’T BE ANY PICTURES OF WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW!!! YIKES!!!
Eve: CAMERON IS BACK INTO THE RING AND SHE’S GOT DEDEDE BY THE HAIR! SHE DRAGS HIM TOWARDS THE BOWLING BALL AND BOUNCES HIS FACE OFF IT!!! DEDEDE IMMEDIATELY ROLLS TOWARDS THE ROPES AND DROPS TO THE GROUND, WHICH LEAVES CAMERON IN THE RING ALONE WITH XANDER! CAMERON HAS AN EVIL LOOK ACROSS HER FACE :lupe:
Deadprez: CAMERON PICKS UP THE BOWLING BALL AND SLAMS IT DOWN ONTO XANDER’S GROIN!!! DEAR GAWD! I GUESS AMEER AND SENECA WON’T EVER HAVE ANY SIBLINGS!!! :damn:!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: CAMERON RAISES THE BOWLING UP ONCE AGAIN AND THIS TIME SHE IS AIMING FOR XANDER’S FACE!!!!
Eve: XANDER MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND THE BOWLING BALL SLAMS INTO THE MAT! XANDER DROPS TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING, CLUTCHING HIS BALLS, AND BOTH OF THE CHALLENGERS HAD BEEN RAN OUT OF THE RING BY CAMERON ELLA AVA!!!
(A determined look crosses the battered face of Cameron Ella Ava and she slips to the outside of the ring.)
Deadprez: CAMERON MARCHES TOWARDS XANDER AND SNATCHES HIM UP BY THE HAIR! SHE DRAGS HIM OVER TO WHERE DEDEDE AND KASSIDY ARE!!! SHE SCREAMS AT KASSIDY TO MOVE, BUT THE MAULER STANDS HER GROUND AND BASICALLY ENCOURAGES CAMERON TO COME AT BOTH OF THEM!
Gavin Kirkland: CAMERON JUST SHRUGS… BUT WAIT! DEDEDE SHOVES PAST KASSIDY, LEAPS UP, AND NAILS CAMERON IN THE FACE WITH A MASSIVE RIGHT HAND!!!! CAMERON GOES DOWN LIKE A TON OF BRICKS AND THAT’S BECAUSE DEDEDE HAS A PAIR OF BRASS KNUCKLES ON HIS HAND!!!
(Kassidy and DEDEDE exchange conspiratorial smiles.)
Eve: DEDEDE TURNS HIS ATTENTION ON XANDER, WHO CATCHES THE CHAIRMAN IN THE GUT WITH A WEAKENED RIGHT HAND! DEDEDE RETALIATES WITH A KNEE TO THE FACE! XANDER THROWS ANOTHER PUNCH, AND THIS TIME WITH MORE BEHIND IT! DEDEDE WITH ANOTHER KNEE STRI- NO! XANDER BLOCKS THE SHOT AND SEIZES DEDEDE’S LEGS! HE PULLS THE CHAIRMAN DOWN AND QUICKLY PEPPERS HIM WITH SEVERAL VICIOUS FOREARM SHOTS!
Deadprez: XANDER ROLLS OFF DEDEDE AND RETURNS TO HIS FEET, LOOKING AROUND LIKE A MAD MAN! XANDER’S EYES SETTLE ON THE HELICOPTER AND A SMILE COMES ACROSS HIS FACE. OH GAWD… WHAT THE FUCK IS HE GUNNA DO??
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER GRABS DEDEDE BY THE HAIR AND BEGINS TO DRAG HIM TOWARDS THE HELICOPTER! DEDEDE USES HIS FISTS TO FEND XANDER OFF, AND WHEN XANDER TURNS AROUND TO GRAB HIM AGAIN, DEDEDE CATCHES HIM WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! DEDEDE MOUNTS XANDER’S FAT BELLY AND BEGINS TO STRIKING HIM WITH THAT LOADED FIST! HE’S BUSTED OPEN THE FOREHEAD OF XANDER PAYNE AND CONTINUES TO HIT HIM. BLOOD IS FLYING EVERYWHERE RIGHT NOW! HE IS TURNING XANDER’S FACE INTO HAMBURGER MEAT! I WONDER IF XANDER WILL TRY TO EAT HIMSELF LATER ON????
Eve: :mjlol:
Deadprez: DEDEDE FINALLY RELENTS AND GETS BACK TO HIS FEET. HE SHAKES THE BRASS KNUCKLES OFF HIS HAND AND HAULS XANDER BACK TO HIS FEET! DEDEDE GRABS XANDER AND HOISTS HIM IN THE AIR AND TAKES OFF RUNNING! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Gavin Kirkland: :damn: :damn: :damn: :damn:
Eve: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I AM FUCKING SHOOK! MR. DEDEDE JUST THREW THE STAR OF MY 600 LBS. LIFE INTO THE SIDE OF THE HELICOPTER LIKE HE WAS A FUCKING JAVELIN!!!!
Eve: DEDEDE TOO STRONK! :dead:
Deadprez: I AM PRETTY SURE XANDER PAYNE IS DEAD BUT MR. DEDEDE ISN’T DONE WITH HIM! DEDEDE MAKES HIS WAY OVER TO WHERE XANDER IS SPRAWLED ACROSS THE BROKEN CHAIRS AND HE PULLS HIM UP BY THE HAIR! DEDEDE SLAMS XANDER’S FACE INTO THE SIDE OF THE HELICOPTER SIX TIMES IN A ROW!!!!
CRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: IT’S CAMERON!!!! CAMERON ELLA AVA JUST SLAMMED A STEEL CHAIR ACROSS THE BACK OF DEDEDE’S SKULL! DEDEDE FALLS TO HIS KNEES AND CAMERON SLAMS THE CHAIR DOWN OVER THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! DEDEDE LOOKS TO BE OUT AND CAMERON BEGINS BEATING THE HELL OUT OF HIM WITH THE CHAIR! CAMERON CAME INTO THIS MATCH WITH A POINT TO PROVE TONIGHT AND IT WAS THAT NEITHER OF THESE MEN WERE GOING TO TAKE THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FROM HER! FOR YEARS SHE HAS STRUGGLED TO GET BACK TO THE TOP AND WIN A MALE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP… WATCHING AS UNDESERVING PEOPLE LIKE THE HEART BREAK GAL GET WHAT CAMERON HAS ALWAYS BELIEVED BELONGED TO HER! HER WIN AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION WAS ONE OF THE MOST FEEL GOOD MOMENTS IN EAW HISTORY AND FROM THE WAY SHE IS DESTROYING DEDEDE RIGHT NOW, SHE’S DETERMINED TO CONTINUE LIVING HER DREAM!
Deadprez: CAMERON FINALLY STOPS THIS BRUTAL BEATDOWN AND SHE PULLS THE CHAIR APART! CAMERON PLACES DEDEDE’S HEAD THROUGH THE CHAIR AND I THINK SHE IS ABOUT TO TRY AND END DEDEDE’S CAREER!
CRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: KASSIDY HEART JUST SMASHED CAMERON ELLA AVA IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! SHE THROWS THE BELT DOWN, GRABS CAMERON, AND DESTROYS HER WITH A STRAIGHT JACKET SUPLEX! CHANEL NO. 5!!!!!
Eve: KASSIDY MIGHT HAVE JUST SAVED HER HUSBAND’S CAREER BECAUSE WE DON’T KNOW WHAT CAMERON WAS PLANNING TO DO TO DEDE-
Deadprez: ‘SATURATE’!!! THE DISCUS PALM STRIKE FROM XANDER BUSTS KASSIDY’S NOSE OPEN AGAIN AND SHE’S DOWN!!!! XANDER PAYNE IS THE ONLY PERSON STANDING AT THE MOMENT AND HE LOOKS DOWN AT THE DISCARDED ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
(Xander picks the belt up and raises it in the air, almost as if he just won the match.)
Gavin Kirkland: FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, PLEASE DON’T LET THIS TUB OF LARD WIN THE MATCH! :lupe:!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: JUST IMAGINE HOW BIG THIS MAN’S EGO WILL GROW IF HE DOES WIN THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! :wow:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: WELL, WHAT XANDER NEEDS TO REALIZE RIGHT NOW IS THAT BOTH DEDEDE AND CAMERON ARE SITTING UP AND TRYING TO SHAKE THE COBWEBS OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: IT’S CAMERON WHO MANAGES TO GET TO HER FEET FIRST! XANDER LUNGES AT HER WITH THE TITLE BUT CAMERON KNOCKS IT OUT OF HIS HAND WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! XANDER TRIES FOR ANOTHER DISCUS PALM STRIKE BUT CAM THROWS HER HANDS UP TO BLOCK AND LETS XANDER STOMACH EAT HER FOOT!!!!
Eve: XANDER STUMBLES BACK, BUT HE IS QUICK TO REGAIN HIS BALANCE AND DODGES A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE FROM CAMERON! CAMERON HAS TO PUT THE BRAKES ON BEFORE SHE SLAMMED INTO THE SIDE OF HELICOPTER BUT XANDER CATCHES HER IN THE BACK WITH A DROPKICK! XANDER GRABS CAMERON, BUT DEDEDE JUST CLUBBED XANDER FROM BEHIND! XANDER DROPS CAMERON, AND DEDEDE GRABS XANDER AROUND THE NECK AND ATTEMPTS TO DDT HIM! XANDER BLOCKS, HOOKS THE TIGHTS, AND SENDS DEDEDE UP AND INTO THE SIDE OF COPTER!!! THE FUCK IS XANDER DOING NOW?!
Gavin Kirkland: :mjlol: THIS FAT ASS IS CLIMBING UP THE GODDAMN HELICOPTER!!!!
Deadprez: :skip: XANDER PAYNE IS SCALING THE HELICOPTER NOW AND PULLS HIMSELF ONTO THE TAIL OF IT. CAMERON HAS RECOVERED ENOUGH TO SEE WHAT’S GOING ON AND :skip:!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS CLIMBING UP AFTER HIM?????
Eve: CAMERON PULLS HERSELF ONTO THE TAIL OF THE HELICOPTER AND BOTH SHE AND XANDER ARE STARING AT ONE ANOTHER! NEITHER OF THEM APPEAR TO BE THAT STEADY BUT THEY ARE INCHING THEIR WAY TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER :lupe:!!!!
Deadprez: XANDER AND CAMERON ARE FACE TO FACE NOW AND CAMERON THROWS A CHOP THAT NEARLY SENDS XANDER TUMBLING TO THE GROUND! HE STEADIES HIMSELF AND THROWS A CHOP OF HIS OWN, AND IT’S CAMERON WHO HAS TO MAKE SURE SHE KEEPS HER BALANCE! BOTH OF THESE ATHLETES HAVE PUT THEMSELVES IN A PRECARIOUS POSITION, BUT BOTH OF THEM ALSO SEEM CONTENT TO CHOP THE HELL OUT OF ONE ANOTHER! XANDER AND CAMERON ARE EXCHANGING CHOPS RIGHT NOW, AND IT’S CAMERON WHO THROWS ALL HER WEIGHT BEHIND HERS AND KNOCKS XANDER OFF BALANCE!!! XANDER IS FLAILING AND CAMERON GOES TO SHOVE TO HIM OFF THE HEL-
Gavin Kirkland: THIS MOTHER FUCKER JUST GRABBED ONTO ONE OF THE PROPELLERS!
Eve: :dead: I HAVE FUCKING SEEN IT ALL!
Deadprez: XANDER PAYNE IS DANGLING FROM THE HELICOPTER PROPELLERS AND CAMERON ISN’T SURE WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW! XANDER BEGINS SWINGING BACK AND FORTH AND HE CATCHES CAMERON RIGHT IN THE CHEST! CAMERON FALLS FROM THE HELICOPTER AND SHE JUST FUCKING LANDED ON MR. DEDEDE, WHO HAD JUST GOTTEN BACK TO HIS FEET!
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER IS STRETCHING THOSE HAM HOCK LEGS OF HIS OUT AND TRYING TO GET BACK ONTO THE TAIL OF THE HELICOPTER! HE’S GOT HIS FEET PLANTED AND HE FINALLY LETS GO OF THE BLADE! HE FLAILS HIS ARMS A BIT BEFORE HE CAN REGAIN HIS BALANCE AND HE LOOKS DOWN AT CAMERON, WHO’S LAID OUT ON TOP OF DEDEDE! A SINISTER SMILE CROSSES XANDER’S FACE AND DFLKSJDFLJSD! SDLKJFSLKDJFSD! SDLFJSDLFJSDF!!!!
Eve: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Deadprez: XANDER PAYNE WITH A CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS OFF THE HELICOPTER AND HE LANDS RIGHT ON TOP OF MR. DEDEDE AND CAMERON! HOW IN THE HELL….
Eve: BRUH! I DON’T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE.
(Xander finally rolls off Cameron and DEDEDE, and staggers back to his feet.)
Gavin Kirkland: Can we stop yelling now? I’m getting hoarse.
Deadprez: This last few minutes of this match have really defied logic if we being honest with ourselves. Never in my life did I think a helicopter would get used as a weapon, but here we fucking are.
Eve: This is no less ridiculous than the liposuction machine…
Gavin Kirkland: :wow: Showdown… forever the ‘A’ show.
Deadprez: Either way, there has to be a winner in this match and I think the referee has just given up at this point when it comes to trying to maintain order. But one thing is still certain in this match… it can only be won inside the ring.
Eve: That’s why Xander has grabbed Cameron and is bringing her back ringside. He dumps her back into the ring and pulls himself up on the apron. XANDER IS CLIMBING UP THE ROPES NOW AND I THINK HE IS ABOUT TO DEFY LOGIC ONCE AGAIN! XANDER GETS HIMSELF SET! XANDER FLIES! ANOTHER CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!!
Gavin Kirkland: CAMERON GETS HER KNEES UP!!! XANDER’S BEACHBALL BODY BOUNCES OFF CAMERON’S KNEES AND HE ROLLS TO THE SIDE, CLUTCHING HIS BIG FAT GUT! CAMERON SAVED HERSELF FROM A SURE DEATH AND THAT’S THE KIND OF CHAMPION THIS WOMAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN! NO ONE HAS GONE THROUGH WHAT CAMERON ELLA AVA HAS! SHE IS BATTLE TESTED. SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH COUNTLESS WARS. FOR AS HARD AS SHE FOUGHT TO FINALLY WIN THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, SHE ISN’T ABOUT TO LET IT SLIP THROUGH HER FINGERS NOW!
Deadprez: CAMERON ROLLS TO HER SIDE AND GETS TO HER KNEES. SHE IS BREATHING HARD, HURTING, AND NO DOUBT EXPERIENCING A LOT OF EMOTIONS RIGHT NOW. SHE SO DESPERATELY WANTS TO HEADLINE PAIN FOR PRIDE THIS YEAR AS THE CHAMPION AND NOW IS HER BEST CHANCE TO GET THAT DONE.
Eve: CAM CRAWLS OVER TO XANDER AND SHE PULLS HIM INTO THE AVA LOCK! THE MODIFIED STF IS LOCKED IN ON XANDER AND HE IS FREAKING OUT! XANDER IS POUNDING HIS FOREARMS ON THE MAT AND TRYING TO CRAWL TOWARDS THE ROPES! HE HAS AN OBVIOUS SIZE AND STRENGTH ADVANTAGE OVER CAMERON AND THAT IS WHAT HE IS RELYING ON RIGHT NOW! HE IS DIGGING DEEP AND FORCING HIS WAY TO THE ROPES! WE ALL KNOW THAT CAMERON WILL NEVER, EVER LET THIS HOLD GO! XANDER REALLY IS GOING TO HAVE TO BREAK IT AND THAT’S WHY HE IS STRETCHING AS FAR AS HE CAN TO REACH THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: :skip: IT’S A TRIPLE THREAT, RIGHT? EVEN IF THIS DIABETES POSTER CHILD REACHES THE ROPES CAMERON DOESN’T HAVE TO BREAK!
Deadprez: :lupe:
Eve: BUT XANDER SURE CAN DO WHAT HE JUST DID AND USE THE ROPES TO PULL HIMSELF OUT OF THE RING!
(Sure enough, Xander grabbed the ropes and was able to use his strength to pull himself forward and throw Cameron into the ropes.)
Gavin Kirkland: SPEAR!!!!!
Eve: FUCK! DEDEDE OUT OF NOWHERE WITH THE SPEAR TO CAMERON AS SHE WAS GETTING BACK UP! HE SPEARED HER RIGHT IN THE SPINE AND CRUSHES HER AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES!!! DEDEDE JERKS HER OUT OF THE CORNER AND QUICKLY GOES FOR THE COVER! NEW CHAMP! NEW CHAMP!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Deadprez: XANDER PULLS DEDEDE OUT OF THE RING RIGHT BEFORE THE REFEREE’S HAND CAN HIT THE MAT! THIS MATCH IS NOT OVER!!!
Eve: XANDER AND DEDEDE ON THE OUTSIDE NOW THROWING HANDS! A BRAWL HAS ERUPTED BETWEEN THESE TWO MEN AND IT’S XANDER PAYNE WHO IS GETTING THE BETTER OF THE EXCHANGE RIGHT NOW! REMEMBER, MR. DEDEDE HAS BEEN TORTURING XANDER’S FAMILY FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND THIS IS EVERYTHING DEDEDE DESERVES AND MORE! XANDER WITH A HUGE UPPERCUT AND HE GRABS DEDEDE AND THROWS HIM INTO THE RINGPOST!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NO HE DOESN’T! THE CHAIRMAN GOT HIS FOOT UP! XANDER TRIES AGAIN, BUT DEDEDE NAILS HIM WITH A BACK ELBOW, WHIRLS AROUND, AND SLAMS XANDER TO THE GROUND WITH A LARIAT! DEDEDE WAITS FOR XANDER TO RISE AND HE GOES FOR ‘PAINFULLY EVER AFTER’!!! KASSIDY HEART’S CURB STOMP!!!!
Deadprez: XANDER ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY THOUGH! DEDEDE PUTS THE BRAKES ON BEFORE HE CRASHES INTO THE OPPOSITE RING POST! HE TURNS AROUND BUT XANDER RUNS RIGHT AT HIM! XANDER TRYING TO BATTERY RAM DEDEDE, ONLY FOR DEDEDE TO GRAB HIM BY THE NECK AND SEND HIM HEAD FIRST INTO THE RING POST!!! DEDEDE LOOKS TO CAPITALI-
Eve: TOPE CON HILO!!!! CAMERON ELLA AVA FLIES AND TAKES OUT MR. DEDEDE! CAMERON WITH PUNCHES TO THE CHAIRMAN! DEDEDE FLINGS HER OFF AND SCRAMBLES TO HIS FEET! CAMERON RUNS RIGHT AT HIM AND LEAPS IN THE AIR BUT DEDEDE CATCHES HER AND SLAMS HER RIGHT DOWN INTO THE GROUND!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MR. DEDEDE GRABS BOTH CAMERON AND XANDER AND THROWS THEM BACK INTO THE RING! BOTH ARE DOWN AND DEDEDE SLIPS INSIDE THE RING AND SLOWLY CIRCLES BOTH OF THEM :lupe:! I CAN’T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT’S GOING THROUGH HIS MIND RIGHT NOW BUT HE’S LOOKING AT KASSIDY.
(DEDEDE and Kassidy don’t really need words to communicate. The National Elite Champion drops to the ground, digs under the ring, and produces a pair of handcuffs. She tosses them to DEDEDE and he quickly handcuffs Cameron and Xander together.)
Deadprez: Well this just took a turn for the worst…
(DEDEDE goes to the corner and takes a seat on the top turnbuckle, waiting for Cameron and Xander to stir.)
Eve: It’s Xander who is the first to sit up and he is just now noticing that he is attached to the Answers World Champion.
(Xander’s eyes go wide and a string of swear words erupt from his lips. Cameron is sitting up now too and she looks down in horror at her wrist handcuffed to Xander’s.)
Gavin Kirkland: Mr. DEDEDE is sitting in the corner laughing his ass off as Cameron and Xander start fighting to get the cuffs off! This is not what either of them ever pictured for this match, and the last thing they both want is to see DEDEDE get the last laugh :lupe:
Deadprez: Xander is screaming at Cameron as if this was somehow her fault and as he gets back to his feet, he drags Cameron up too. Xander is still berating the Answers World Champion and Cameron hauls off and slaps him right across the face with her free hand! Xander’s face flushes with anger and he throws a forearm!
Eve: BLOCKED! CAMERON BLOCKS THE SHOT AND THROWS ANOTHER SLAP AT XANDER! XANDER TRIES TO FIGHT BACK WITH A FOREARM, BUT SHE BLOCKS IT AGAIN! ANOTHER SLAP! AND ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! CAMERON IS SLAPPING THE SHIT OUT OF XANDER PAYNE WHILE MR. DEDEDE WATCHES ON FROM THE CORNER! CAMERON KICKS XANDER IN THE STOMACH AND DRIVES HER KNEE INTO HIS FACE OUT OF SHEER ANGER! XANDER STUMBLES, BUT HE DOESN’T FALL, AND HE RESPONDS BY CRACKING HIS FOREHEAD AGAINST CAMERON’S!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT HEADBUTT KNOCKS THE CHAMP ALL THE WAY BACK INTO THE ROPES AND XANDER BEGINS CHOKING HER! CAMERON SCRATCHES AND CLAWS AT XANDER TO GET HIM AWAY FROM HER, BUT HE PRESSES HER THROAT AGAINST THE BOTTOM ROPE AND JAMS HIS KNEE INTO HER SPINE!
Deadprez: DEDEDE SEEMS CONTENT TO LET THIS THING PLAY OUT AND XANDER FINALLY PULLS CAMERON AWAY FROM THE ROPES! HE DRAGS HER TOWARDS THE CORNER AND SLAMS HER FACE FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! CAMERON SLUMPS DOWN INTO A SITTING POSITION AND XANDER STOMPS ON HER A FEW TIMES. NOW HE TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING AND HE STARTS TO UNLACE IT. XANDER PULLS THE PADDING OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND STARTS TO WORK ON THE SECO-
Eve: LOW BLOW FROM CAMERON! CAMERON GOT XANDER WITH A DESPERATION LOW BLOW! XANDER FALLS TO THE GROUND AND CURLS INTO THE FETAL POSITION AND LIKE A RABID DOG CAMERON BEGINS TO THROW CLOSED FISTED SHOTS AT THE SIDE OF XANDER’S HEAD! SHE STRIKES HIM OVER AND OVER AND IS CONNECTING WITH HIS EAR! THE MAN HAS GOT TO HAVE A BUSTED EARDRUM AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I THINK I SEE BLOOD STARTING TO TRICKLE OUT OF HIS EAR! CAMERON IS LETTING GO OF ALL HER EMOTIONS RIGHT NOW AS SHE BEATS THE SHIT OUT OF XANDER PAYNE! I BET NEXT TIME HE WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE BEFORE UTTERING SOME KIND OF SEXIST REMARK TO THIS INCREDIBLE FEMALE ATHLETE!
Gavin Kirkland: HE PROBABLY WON’T BUT CAMERON FINALLY STOPS BEATING HIM AND TURNS HER ATTENTION TO THE TURNBUCKLE! SHE QUICKLY FINISHES WHAT XANDER STARTED AND GOES TO UNTIE THE LAST ONE! SHE PULLS THE PADDING OFF AND NOW SHE’S GRABBING XANDER BY THE HAIR! CAMERON GOES TO SLAM XANDER’S FACE INTO THE EXPOSED STEEL BUT HE GETS HIS ARMS UP! XANDER KEEPS HIMSELF FROM GETTING BUSTED WIDE OPEN AGAIN AND THAT JUST SEEMS TO PISS CAMERON OFF EVEN MORE! SHE PULLS XANDER UP AS SHE GETS TO HER FEET AND DRAGS HIM OUT OF THE CORNER! CAMERON GRABS XANDER BY THE WRIST AND LOOKS TO THROW HIM INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE, BUT XANDER PLANTS HIS FEET! HE HITS CAMERON WITH A STIFF SHOT TO THE JAW, REVERSES THE WRISTLOCK AND THROWS HER INTO THE CORNER INSTEAD!
Eve: BUT SHE GOT HER FOOT UP! CAMERON NAILS XANDER WITH A BACK ELBOW, CLIMBS UP THE TURNBUCKLES, AND NOW SHE IS CAREFULLY BALANCING HERSELF ON THE ROPES! CAMERON USING THE ROPES TO WALK AS SHE DRAGS XANDER WITH HER! CAMERON CLOSES IN ON MR. DEDEDE AND SHE USES THE ROPES AS A SPRINGBOARD!
Deadprez: SPRINGBOARD VERSION OF GODDESS’ TOUCH CONNECTS WITH MR. DEDEDE AND SENDS HIM FLYING OFF THE TOP! HE CRASHES TO THE GROUND BUT HE SEEMS MORE ANGRY THAN HURT! CAMERON CAUGHT HIM OFF GUARD WITH HER GUTSY MOVE, KNOWING DAMN WELL THAT XANDER COULD HAVE PULLED HER DOWN AT ANY MOMENT!
Gavin Kirkland: XANDER HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF CAMERON’S HIGH RISK MOVE THOUGH! HE’S GOT HER BY THE HAIR AND HE RUNS THEM TOWARDS THE EXPOSED THE TURNBUCKLES! XANDER SLAMS CAMERON BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER AND HITS HER WITH A BRUTAL LARIAT THAT NO DOUBT JUST KNOCKED THE WIND OUT OF HER. XANDER GRABS CAMERON BY THE EARS AND BASHES THE BACK OF HER HEAD AGAINST THE EXPOSED STEEL! HE DOES IT AGAIN AND REACHES AROUND, MAKING SURE THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION HAS BEEN BUSTED OPEN!
(Xander looks at his blood stained hand and grins.)
Eve: XANDER JUST SLAPPED CAMERON ACROSS THE FACE WITH HIS BLOODY HAND AND HE IS PULLING HER UP! XANDER DRAGS CAMERON TO THE CENTER OF THE RING AND I THINK HE’S GOING TO TRY AND HIT HER WITH ‘LAST SEDATION’! XANDER HOISTS THE CHAMP IN THE AIR IN THE POWERBOMB POSITION BUT CAMERON FIGHTS BACK WITH PUNCHES TO XANDER’S HEAD! CAMERON ELLA AVA IS NOT GOING TO GIVE UP THIS EASILY! SHE SAID THAT THESE TWO MEN WOULD HAVE TO DESTROY EVERYTHING THAT MAKES HER WHO SHE IS IF THEY WANTED TO WIN THIS MATCH! CAMERON FORCES XANDER TO SET HER BACK DOWN AND THEY START EXCHANGING PUNCHES ONCE AGAIN!!!! CAMERON! XANDER! CAMERON! XANDER! CAMERON! THESE TWO ARE SLUGGING IT OUT WITH THEIR FREE HANDS AND NOW MR. DEDEDE IS BACK INTO THE RING!!!!!
Deadprez: LIKE A RAGING BULL, MR. DEDEDE CHARGES AT CAMERON AND XANDER, LOOKING TO HIT A DOUBLE SPEAR!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: CAMERON AND XANDER WORK IN TANDEM TO LEAP OVER DEDEDE AND HE SLAMS INTO THE EXPOSED THE TURNBUCKLES!!!!!
(The camera cuts to a shot of Kassidy, who looks horrified at what just transpired. DEDEDE slammed shoulder first into the exposed turnbuckle and he’s gripping his shoulder in agony at the moment.)
Eve: CAMERON TRIES TO RUN TOWARDS DEDEDE TO CAPITALIZE ON WHAT COULD BE AN INJURY, BUT XANDER TUGS THE HANDCUFFS! CAMERON TRIES TO DRAG HIM WITH HER, BUT XANDER GRABS HER AND TRIES FOR ‘PAROXYSM’! CAM PUSHES HIM AWAY BEFORE HE CAN HIT HIS VERSION OF THE STUNNER! CAM HITS XANDER WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE JAW AND FOLLOWS IT UP BY KICKING XANDER’S LEGS AND KNOCKING HIM TO THE GROUND! CAMERON GRABS XANDER’S WRISTS AND JERKS HIM UP… STARDUST BREAKER CATCHES XANDER IN THE JAW!
(Cameron maintains control of Xander’s wrists but takes a moment to look at the Pain for Pride sign that is positioned directly across from her. To headline Pain for Pride as the Answers World Champion would be the icing on the cake for what’s already been an incredible career for Cameron Ella Ava. All she has to do is put Xander Payne away and likely face one more challenge coming up at Odyssey, and that headlining match she’s been waiting for will be hers. It’s an overwhelming moment for Cameron, and as the tears fill her eyes knowing she is so close, she looks down at Xander.)
Deadprez: A SECOND STARDUST BREAKER TO XANDER PAYNE AND CAMERON ISN’T TAKING ANY CHANCES! I THINK SHE’S GOING FOR STARDUST FOREVER!!!
(Despite being only half-conscious, a defiant Xander Payne raises his middle finger in the air and spits at Cameron.)
Xander Payne (Off Mic): Bitch.
Cameron Ella Ava (Off Mic): You’re goddamn right.
Gavin Kirkland: STARDUST FOREVER! XANDER IS OUT! XANDER IS OUT! XANDER IS OUT! SOMEONE RI-
(The sound of flames igniting can be heard and what happens next is something no one will ever forget.)
(Eve can be heard letting out a scream of terror, one of those sounds that will haunt you at night.)
(The person behind the camera is so startled that the expensive piece of equipment he is using is dropped on the ground with a thud.)
(Gavin Kirkland sucks in a breath, tries to talk, but can’t find the words to say.)
(Deadprez, a man who has seen a lot of things during his tenure with the company, drops his headset and gets to his feet.)
(The camera cuts to the ring where Cameron Ella Ava lays in a pile of nails, glass shards, and thumbtacks. Her eyes are closed and she’s bleeding even more than she was previously thanks to all the lacerations on her face. She looks like a car crash victim. She’s been burned, because standing over her body, holding a flaming Equalizer is Mr. DEDEDE.)
(Mr. DEDEDE lets The Equalizer drop to the ground, which smothers the remaining flames and puts it out. DEDEDE looks down at the lifeless body of Cameron Ella Ava, the same person who is attached to the unconscious Xander Payne, and he places his foot on top of Cameron’s chest. His cold, cruel eyes narrow at the referee and he snaps his fingers, pointing at the mat.)
Mr. DEDEDE (Off Mic): Count.
(At first, the referee is too shocked to move, but all it takes is a second look for DEDEDE to get him to drop down and do his job.)
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(Gina Romano doesn’t even want to announce Mr. DEDEDE’s name. Luckily for her, she doesn’t have too. Kassidy Heart snatches the microphone from her, grabs the Answers World Championship, and slips into the ring. She looks at DEDEDE with nothing but lust and pride and raises the microphone to her lips.)
Kassidy Heart: AND HERE IS YOUR WINNER… AND THE NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION… MR. DEDEDE!!!!
(“Let It Go” by A$AP Ferg begins to blast across the PA system. Kassidy tosses the microphone down and smiles sweetly up at her husband. She presents him with the Answers World Championship and that trademark arrogant smile finally spreads across DEDEDE’s face. He grabs Kassidy by the waist and pulls her close, and the two share a kiss over the fallen bodies of Mr. DEDEDE’s enemies.)
(After a moment, the two pull apart and DEDEDE takes Kassidy’s hand. Paramedics have arrived on the scene and are sliding into the ring to tend to Cameron, while the referee is using bolt cutters to snap the handcuffs and free Cameron and Xander. Xander is being helped up, groggy, but likely fine.)
(DEDEDE and Kassidy stop before they exit the ring, and DEDEDE looks at Xander. He then looks over at Cameron who is having her neck put in a brace and her pulse checked. A smile touches his lips, and he turns to his wife.)
Mr. DEDEDE (Off Mic): That’s why I always say, he who laughs last, laughs best.
(The couple leave, but the scene lingers on the carnage inside of the ring. It’s a horrific sight seeing Cameron Ella Ava being put on a stretcher in a neck brace.)
(The footage fades for the final segment.)(‘Unfuckwittable’ by Kid Cudi begins to play as the crowd has a mixed reception from Jon Kelton who steps out from the back. There is a lot going into his mind, but the one thing that he is focused on is winning the Grand Rampage match and headlining Pain for Pride.)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME… ‘THE LAST HOPE’…JON KELTON!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Now, here’s the man that everyone has been wondering about. We saw his girlfriend, Pandora Paisley stab him in the back and sign herself with the British. She took Halsey Neel with her as well. Two weeks he tried to go to ARIA about the possibility of working with each other, but ARIA was not having it.
Eve: I mean, would you blame her after what Jon Kelton and The Devolution have done all season long?
Deadprez: Good point there. But, I feel like Jon might be a target to people. Especially those that he has wronged in the past two seasons with The Devolution. I don’t expect people to want to work with him whatsoever. I’m just being real here, but I’ll be shocked if someone does look to give him the benefit of the doubt.
(‘Unfuckwittable’ dies down as the crowd seems to be completely divided on how they should take Jon Kelton. Jon looks around the crowd before raising the microphone to his mouth and begins his promo.)
Jon Kelton: The time is almost upon us, right? Grand Rampage. Thirty Elitists, one winner. The prize is a guaranteed World Championship match in the main event of Pain for Pride. Now, in this match, we have a lot of talented Elitists. We got a couple of sneaks, but that’s all up for interpretation. I looked at Showdown’s competitors for Grand Rampage and we got some former World Champions. We have former mid card champions. We have Hall of Famers. We have men and women who could be future Hall of Famers. But, we also have future World Champions. We have men like myself who are on the verge of being a World Champion. This opportunity is what could take me to the next level. I had a shot against Chef Viz at Reasonable Doubt and from that performance alone, it should make every Elitist in this match afraid of what I’ll be able to do. There is nothing that is going to be stopping me. I will WIN the Grand Rampage —
???: Pipe down, bruv.
(The crowd immediately boos as Daryl Kinkade is shown standing on the ramp. Daryl forms a shit-eating grin on his face. It’s clear that there’s some tension that is looming in the air with Daryl and Jon Kelton. But, Daryl seems to be more than casual and not afraid of anything happening to himself. Daryl stands on the apron as he stares at Jon as he begins to talk.)
Daryl Kinkade: You just be talking out of your arsehole, Jon. Look at you, parading all around like you didn’t just get kicked out of your own group back in England.
(The crowd goes “oooh.” The memory of Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel stabbing Jon Kelton in the back had been moved into the back of his mind. Until now and it’s thanks to the man he could say played a factor in the break of The Devolution. Daryl joins Jon inside the ring as he continues to talk.)
Daryl Kinkade: You want to swing your dick around and think that you’re more than poised to win Grand Rampage. You think that having one little mediocre performance against Chef Viz – who raw dogged you the entire week – doesn’t mean that you’re next in line to be World Champion, bruv. You still need to remember that you’re Jon Kelton at the end of the day. The same man who thought that when he returned after a decade of not being part of this company, he would be part of the renaissance of older Elitists making their mark against the day and age of Elitist. Instead, you are nothing more than a loser. You are the reason why The Devolution is dead. The worst thing that could possibly happen is you winning Grand Rampage. I mean, we don’t need for Jon Kelton to choke on another opportunity —
Jon Kelton: Who are you to tell me about choking on opportunities —
???: ¡Tranquilos! ¡Tranquilos señores!
(The crowd explodes in cheers as TLA comes out in his low rider on the side of the stage. It stops near the side of the ramp as TLA hopes off the low rider. He has a microphone in his hands as he pays attention to Jon Kelton and Daryl Kinkade inside the ring.)
TLA: There’s a little too much tensión for my liking. I get it though. It’s a stressful time. We all want to go out, fight and throw a couple of people out of the ring. We want to win this match and main event Pain for Pride. It’s going to be those who can handle this pressure that will last the longest in this match up. There is no one like me who can handle the pressure and be ready for all of the smoke. I just joined Showdown a few weeks ago, but it’s almost like I’ve been here all season with how much my cabeza hurts from all of the miera inside the ring.
Daryl Kinkade: Just what we needed to hear – a bunch of rubbish from one of the biggest charity case World Champions of all time.
TLA: I know that you ain’t calling me a charity case when your teeth need all the charity it can get. But, I’m out here to tell you all of the muchachos and muchachas in the back that I’m on Showdown now. Grand Rampage is going to be my moment. I’m going to throw every single one of you cabrones out of the ring and go on to the main event of Pain for Pride.
???: Now, that’s a nice little goal, TLA.
(The crowd begins to boo as Terry Chambers walks out from the back. He has a microphone in his possession as he looks at the three Elitists inside the ring.)
Terry Chambers: It’s a nice goal you have there, TLA. But, I need for everyone to know that I didn’t come back to lose.
(Terry Chambers steps inside the ring. He stands next too, but across from TLA. These two were tag team partners in the Grand Prix a few years ago as the Corona Hombres. There is a bond formed between the two of them. But, TLA hasn’t really found himself introduced to this version of Terry Chambers. Terry seems like he is more focused on TLA rather than Jon Kelton or Daryl Kinkade.)
TLA: I get you, amigo.
Terry Chambers: No, TLA. This is something that I am going to need to reinforce. We’ve been friends for a long time. Our friendship goes beyond this company and that’s something that I am going to put aside when it comes to partaking in this match. I expect you to do the same thing. Corona Hombres or not, if push comes to shove, I won’t hesitate to throw you over the top rope and move closer to my goal of winning this match, main eventing Pain for Pride and show everyone that my reign as World Champion was not a fluke. It was always meant to happen.
???: Oh god, just shut the fuck up!
(The mixed reception of the crowd is heard throughout the arena as Kirk Redwood comes out, already done with this night and with these people talking. Most importantly, it seems like he is done with Terry Chambers talking.)
Kirk Redwood: Terry, do everyone a favor and SHUT THE FUCK UP! Terry, you are… FAT! Jon, you are a …LOSER! TLA, you are a… JOKE! Daryl, no one can understand you most of the time, BRUV! I am going to throw all of you fuckers over the top rope, shock the world and win Grand Rampage! I’m not doing this shit for anyone. I’m not looking to please anyone. I’m looking to fuck up everyone’s prediction list. I’m looking to shatter everyone’s expectations on why to expect this Grand Rampage match. Everyone has a plan before they get a ‘.50 Cal’ punch to the face!
???: Ewww! Eww! Eww! All of you! Just eww!
(Ashlynn Quinn is heard being repulsed by all of the uggo men standing inside the ring. She has some giant spray in her hands that reads ‘uggo repellent’ as she sprays it left and right. Happily, she’s not spraying the eyes of anyone as she makes her way down the ramp.)
Ashlynn Quinn: Oh god, I have never seen so many uggos in my life. Like, just imagine the never-ending anxiety that I’ll be having when next weekend arrives. Like, I’m going to be nothing more than easy pickings for all of you. I don’t even need to do anything and you’ll find me as an easy target to throw over the tope rope! I am here to tell you…DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT! It’s not my fault that you uggos are so upset that you will find a beauty like myself in contention to win Grand Rampage. It’s what I deserve! I deserve to win Grand Rampage! I deserve to headline Pain for Pride! I deserve to be World Champion! Maybe then, mother will forgive me.
?????: AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
(The screaming is heard all throughout the arena as Usagi Senshi storms out from backstage, but Usagi doesn’t look like she’s in the mood for talking whatsoever.)
Usagi Senshi: All this season, I have dealt with people who had taken things away from me. I have felt the weight of the world crashing upon me. I should have become Universal Women’s Champion. I should have moved on in ‘Blind Faith.’ I should have defeated Caroline in Super Showdown. A lot of things should have happened for me. But, I haven’t been quite as lucky as I would have hoped to be. But, Grand Rampage is where it turns around for me. I am going to throw EVERY SINGLE one of you over the top rope and I am going to start now…
(Usagi Senshi drops her microphone as she makes a bolt line down the ramp. But, she doesn’t end up making it there as ARIA clubs Usagi in the back of the head with the microphone that she was planning to talk out of. Before you know it, it’s madness happening all around. We see Jon Kelton and Terry Chambers trading punches with each other. We see TLA and Daryl Kinkade battering each other with punches. We see that Ashlynn Quinn is trying to step away from Kirk Redwood as she holds her spray for dear life.)
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON, EVE AND DP??
Eve: WE ARE SEEING A PREVIEW ON WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM THE SHOWDOWN BRAND AT GRAND RAMPAGE! IF THIS GROUP OF ELITISTS WERE ABLE TO GO UNHINGED LIKE THAT, JUST IMAGINE WHAT DYNASTY AND VOLTAGE WILL BE ABLE TO BRING OUT OF THEM! WE SEE ARIA AND USAGI SENSHI TRADING BLOWS WITH EACH OTHER! THE TWO OF THEM ARE LOOKING TO MAKE THEMSELVES DOWN THE RAMP! WE SEE TLA AND DARYL KINKADE ARE CRASHING BACK TO ONE OF THE CORNERS! WE SEE THAT JON IS REBOUNDING OFF THE ROPES AS TERRY CONNECTS WITH A GIANT CLOTHESLINE THAT TAKES THE FORMER NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION DOWN! KIRK REDWOOD TAKES ASHLYNN QUINN DOWN WITH A ‘.50 CAL PUNCH’ THAT KNOCKED HER UNCONSCIOUS!
(From all the brawling occurring inside the ring, we notice that there is one Elitist missing from this. But, it is revealed who exactly as Scott Diamond stands on the ramp. He surveys the competition inside the ring. The Showdown Elitists are beating the hell out of each other – just like we’re going to be seeing at Grand Rampage.)
Deadprez: Oh shit, Scott Diamond is here! He has been surveying the Elitists from up the ramp, but now, he begins to make his way down the ramp! The Elitists inside the ring are turning their attention to ‘The Perfect Storm!’ They all know the level of competition that Scott is! This is one where you are going to need to work together to eliminate!
Gavin Kirkland: WE SEE KIRK REDWOOD LAUNCHING HIMSELF TOWARDS SCOTT DIAMOND WITH A ‘.50 CAL PUNCH’ TO SCOTT! BUT, SCOTT MANAGES TO CATCH KIRK FROM MID-AIR! OH GOD, HE JUST THREW KIRK OVER THE TOP ROPE! THAT LOOKED LIKE IT REQUIRED ZERO EFFORT! NOW, WE ARE SEEING ELITIST AFTER ELITIST TRY THEIR LUCK WITH TRYING TO TAKE SCOTT OVER THE TOP ROPE! WE SEE THAT ARIA IS LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A CRUCIFIX HOLD ON SCOTT’S ARMS! IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S TRYING TO TAKE THE BIGGER ELITIST BACK! BUT, THERE IS NO LUCK!
Eve: No, but look at this, Gavin! Usagi Senshi is trying to lift up the legs of Scott Diamond as she tries to tilt him over the top rope! ARIA is trying to pull back on the arms as Usagi and trying to lift up the legs! Are we seeing the Ice Aces team up in 2024? These two are former partners turned rivals. We all saw how the betrayal went on Showdown earlier this season! But, I think that they are looking to make the ultimate statement by eliminating Scott from this ring!
Deadprez: NO! IT SEEMS LIKE SCOTT DIAMOND USES ALL OF HIS LEG STRENGTH TO LIFT UP USAGI SENSHI AND THROW HER OVER THE TOP ROPE! THEN, SCOTT SHOVES ARIA OFF THE APRON AND AS SHE LANDS RIGHT ON TOP OF ARIA AT RINGSIDE! NEXT, WE SEE THAT ASHLYNN QUINN HAS THE ‘UGGO REPELLANT’ AIMED IN FRONT OF KIRK REDWOOD AS SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE MIGHT USE IT ON HIM! BUT, TERRY CHAMBERS, OUT OF NOWHERE, CONNECTS WITH ‘A RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE’ — THE SINGLE LEG DROPKICK TO KIRK AS THAT SENDS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! THEN, WE HAVE TLA WHO IS LOOKING AT ASHLYNN, WHO LOOKS LIKE SHE MIGHT BE AFRAID FOR WHAT CAN HAPPEN NEXT TO HER! ASHLYNN HAS HER REPELLANT AS SHE EXTENDS IT TO TLA AS A PEACE OFFER!
Gavin Kirkland: Won’t you look at that? TLA looks fascinated by that peace offering! He turns it around to read the labels before spraying it on poor Ashlynn Quinn’s face! Ashlynn is screaming bloody murder! Then, Terry Chambers connects with another ‘Random Act of Violence’ to Ashlynn before TLA follows that up by clotheslining her over the top rope! It’s Corona Time, everyone!
Eve: The Corona Hombres showing a bit of teamwork that we have not seen from them sometimes from them! But, look at that, Gav! Terry Chambers turns around and now, it looks like he’s eliminating TLA over the top rope! But, TLA manages to catch himself on the apron! It seemed like TLA should have known better than to expect this. Terry Chambers smirks at TLA, who recognizes that this is how it’s going to be going into the match! But, TLA smirks as Terry can sense someone behind him!
Deadprez: OH BOY, I WOULD NOT WANT SCOTT DIAMOND STANDING BEHIND ME AS TERRY CHAMBERS LOOKS FOR A ‘MOMENT OF SILENCE’ TO SCOTT! BUT, SCOTT HAS PLAYED THIS GAME BEFORE! HE DOESN’T LET THAT HEADBUTT GET THE BEST OF HIM! SCOTT DELIVERS A DANGEROUS KNEE AS THAT TAKES THE FORMER EAW CHAMPION DOWN TO HIS KNEES! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE TERRY IS NOT STAYING DOWN FOR LONG! SCOTT LAUNCHES HIMSELF FORWARD AS HE GOES FOR ‘THE POINT BLANK BICYCLE KICK’ —BICYCLE KICK TO TERRY AS THAT THROWS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: Now, we see that Scott Diamond has his sight set towards his fellow Hall of Famer as TLA realizes that he might be in a vulnerable position at the moment! Scott goes right after TLA with another ‘Point Blank Bicycle Kick’ to TLA, but TLA ducks as Scott finds himself in an awkward position with his foot being dangled over the top rope as TLA pulls Scott in a front headlock and takes him to the apron! The two men begin to throw punches to each other, trying to knock the other off the top rope! BUT, TLA DELIVERS A KICK TO THE GUT OF SCOTT! HE PULLS HIM INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A ‘MEXICAN DESTROYER’ ON THE APRON AS HE SENDS SCOTT DOWN!
Eve: BUT, TLA DOESN’T HAVE A MOMENT TO CELEBRATE AS DARYL KINKADE JUMPS ONTO THE APRON WITH HIM! DARYL LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH A SUPERKICK TO TLA, BUT TLA DUCKS AS HE MANAGES TO GRAB DARYL’S ANKLE AND HOLD HIM TIGHT! BUT, DARYL MANAGES TO TWIST HIMSELF AROUND AND LOOKS TO BE KICKING TLA IN THE HEAD! OVER AND OVER AGAIN, TLA’S HEAD IS BEING BASHED AGAINST THE CANVAS! BUT, TLA IS NOT LETTING GO! WHILE THIS ISN’T THE ACTUAL GRAND RAMPAGE, IT’S BEEN INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT KIND OF ENERGY WE’LL BE EXPECTING FROM THIS GROUP OF ELITISTS —
Deadprez: BUT, LOOK AT THE INSIDE OF THE RING! JON KELTON CONNECTS WITH A ‘FINAL ATONEMENT’ TO DARYL KINKADE THROUGH THE ROPES AS HE FLIES OFF THE APRON! THEN, JON GETS TLA AND KICKS HIM OFF THE APRON QUICKLY AFTER! JON IS THE ONLY ELITIST STANDING INSIDE THIS RING! JON STANDING LIKE HE JUST WON GRAND RAMPAGE!
(‘Unfuckwittable’ begins to play once more as Jon Kelton is standing in the middle of the ring. He looks around the competition that was thrown out of the ring before him. All of them are recovering in various parts of the arena. Some are screaming at him. Others are getting themselves checked.)
Gavin Kirkland: Now, could this be what we expect at Grand Rampage? Will it be Jon Kelton who manages to overcome twenty-nine Elitists to win Grand Rampage? Could he be one step closer to headlining Pain for Pride?
Eve: From what we saw here, it could be a possibility, Gavin! But, that’s all the time we have here! Next weekend is Grand Rampage! Next time you’ll see us is at Phoenix! Right now, signing off on behalf of Gavin Kirkland and Deadprez, I am Eve! Goodnight from Denver!
(The last shot is of Jon Kelton is hyping himself inside the ring as he points at the Pain for Pride logo up at the rafters before it fades to black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
