(EAW Intro Plays)
(The recap for last week’s Showdown begins with the confrontation between Harper Lee and Pandora Paisley which ended with a challenge to Midsummer Massacre for the National Elite Championship where if Pandora loses she must join Silas World. Figura Prismatis scored a huge win over Showtime!. Bridget Bridget and Clayton Golde became A Tag Team called #Hashtag. Vincent Mondrian scored a huge win over Matthew Kazama. Daryl Kinkade claimed to want the Answers World Championship and found out he will get a chance at the title if he defeats Joso and Jake Smith. Impact and Xander Payne wrestled to a no contest when Solomon Stane attacked them. Ms. Extreme looked for her next challenger and Bea Valentine laid her out claiming to be the next challenger. Finally, the Main Event saw Ms. Extreme lose to Harper Lee thanks to Cornelius interfering.
(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 the Chase Center in San Francisco, CA.. Fireworks 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 start talking.)
Deadprez: SAN FRANCISCO! Welcome to another episode of Showdown, our third of Season 19! I am Deadprez and I’m joined by Eve and Gavin Kirkland! What an exciting show we have tonight, and we are only a few weeks away from Midsummer Massacre coming to you live on August 10th from Shanghai! What a main event we have tonight, Daryl Kinkade takes on Donovan Duke!
Eve: We also have the Answers world Champion here tonight! Some incredible matches as we head into the first MLE of the season of the season, Midsummer Massacre!
Gavin Kirkland: And let’s not waste ANY TIME! Because we have a contract signing with Harper Lee and my beautiful, Hellcat!
(The camera pans to ringside as Kennedy Street is already in the ring. As “Sweet Dreams” by the Eurythmics starts to play. The crowd boos as Harper Leer walks out accompanied by none other than Silas Mason. The fans boo as the ring is all set up for a contract signing.)
Gina Romano: EAW Universe! Please welcome at this time…. Accompanied to the ring by Silas Mason… she is The EAW National Elite Champion…. HARPER LEE!!!
(Harper enters the ring as she holds up the National Elite Champion. Silas glances over at Kennedy before they both sit down.)
Deadprez: Tension already brewing between Kennedy Street and Silas World, but we have ourselves a contract signing here tonight and this is going to be interesting considering the relationship Kennedy has with the challenger.
Eve: That is very true, but Silas is trying to control the narrative Kennedy Street is not having any it!
Gavin Kirkland: At this point I don’t think that either party really cares, and they want to sign the contract!
(As everyone settles down and the theme dies down, “Just Stop” by Disturbed starts to play throughout the arena. The massive cheers erupt for the now popular Pandora Paisley who walks out and looks around, she has a smirk on her face walking to the ring confidently.)
Eve: And here comes Pandora Paisley, there is a lot on the line with her this week, and I know for sure that she has a lot on her mind, and if she doesn’t win this match, I don’t know what is going to happen.
Gavin Kirkland: What is going to happen is simple, she joins Silas World and will still become a singles champion because that is how good she is!
Deadprez: I still think that was a huge mistake by Pandora, but I get her frame of mind, but if you think Silas doesn’t have a plan, everyone is wrong.
(Pandora gets in the ring and shakes Kennedy’s hand with a slight hug, she then walks over and sits at the table looking across at Harper Lee and Silas Mason.)
Kennedy Street: Thank you both for joining me here tonight. Kennie felt that it was necessary to have this contract signing after looking over it and of course everything that is on the line. First and foremost, before we continue, Kennie needs to say this to Pandora Paisley. This is a huge match, the National Elite Championship is one of the most prestigious titles in the EAW, and a reason it has become a staple on Showdown. With the work you did alone last season, you are well on your way to earning yourself a shot and –
(But Silas Mason quickly intervenes as the crowd erupts in boos.)
Silas Mason: What are you trying to do here, Kennedy? Pandora and Harper with myself made a deal last week. Pandora knew the terms of the contract, she understood what was at stake, and I laid out the stipulation, besides, everyone is making it seem like she will lose. If she wins, then I leave her alone, and she is the National Elite Champion, why are we discussing this?
Kennedy Street: Because Keenie knows you, Silas. You were my manager once.
Silas Mason: And I took you, your cousins, Regan and Kelcey to World Championships, so what is the problem? Don’t you want to see a student of the Street legacy do the same?
Kennedy Street: Not this way and –
(This time though its is Pandora that interrupts.)
Pandora Paisley: Hold on, love. Look,. I respect everything that you have done Kennedy, everyone knows that I idolize you and the family, it is the Street legacy that gave me the chance to be here now. I Know what I am doing, And this is me opportunity to finally do something as a singles wrestler while Halsey is out. I know that I can beat her, love.
Harper Lee: No, you can’t.
(The crowd erupts in boos as Harper Lee speaks. Pandora just turns and glares at her.)
Harper Lee: I get it Pandora. Everyone has been singing your praises for a long time, there has been the franchise tag put on you, everyone is waiting for you to get the chance at a breakout season and I’m sure that this is where you see it happening. There are no distractions, Kelton is on Voltage, Halsey is out for six months. Daryl is on his road to become a World Champion. So, of course this is the perfect opportunity to go after what you want as well, but at least there is an out. At least there is a gold pot at the end of the rainbow, and that is your chance to be a part of Silas World.
(Pandora can only shake her head listening to this.)
Pandora Paisley: Harper, I think we both know that I am capable of beating anyone. I already have beaten the best whether it was in a tag team, or singles scene, I have proven time and time again that I can defeat anyone at any time. I know what I can do, love, and if Silas wants to put stipulations than let him, because when it is all set and done, I do not plan to be part of any stable that is not called The British Invasion.
Harper Lee: So, be it. But I look forward to us becoming BFF’s once you join us.
Pandora Paisley: I highly doubt that, love.
Silas Mason: Okay, I have heard enough, Kennedy can we please get to the contract signing.
Kennedy Street: Why yes, of course. First to you Harper and Silas, the contract just like you asked to be written. If you could please sign.
(Silas doesn’t waste any time looking over the contract making sure that all the stipulations are there. He then smiles and looks over at Harper and nods.)
Harper Lee: Pandora… welcome to Silas World.
(She slides the contract to Pandora Paisley who is ready to sign when suddenly… “New Devil” by Asking Alexandria plays throughout the arena as the crowd stands up and they cheer. Pandora looks to the entranceway as Daryl Kinkade walks out in his wrestling gear ready to fight in the Main Event tonight.)
Deadprez: Here comes Daryl Kinkade! Pandora’s fellow Stablemate on the British Invasion! And look at his face, one of determination!
Eve: He is making a beeline right to the ring and he is not stopping!
Gavin Kirkland: What the hell is he doing out here!
(Daryl Kinkade gets in the ring and goes right to Pandora as his theme dies down.)
Daryl Kinkade: Don’t sign that yet, love.
Pandora Paisley: What is going on, mate? Why are you out here?
Daryl Kinkade: I can’t let you do this, love. Those fucks are snakes, and you know it. That is why this is a trap, and they are going to do whatever it takes to make sure that you lose and join them.
Silas Mason: What the hell are you doing out here!?
Daryl Kinkade: SHUT UP BRUV!
(The crowd cheers loudly as Silas Mason looks surprised and at the same time annoyed because he is preventing from Pandora signing the contract.)
Daryl Kinkade: We both know this is a bloody trap.
Harper Lee: Why don’t you get out of the ring and let her sign the contract!
Daryl Kinkade: Why don’t you kiss my arse!
(He turns back to Pandora.)
Daryl Kinkade: I know you want a title shot, but there are other ways. I would never stand in front of your way, you know that. But we are mates, and I would never let a friend walk into a bloody trap. You don’t need top sign that. We can find another way.
Pandora Paisley: You need to trust me, love. So many people have had the same conversation with me, but I knew what I was getting into when I agreed to the terms. Love, you got to let me do this, consequences or not.
(Daryl knows that she is right, but he doesn’t trust Silas or the contract. Unwillingly, he steps to the side as Kennedy looks at him and Pandora and hands her the contract with the pen, she nods at her as Pandora signs it.)
Kennedy Street: And it is OFFICIAL! At Midsummer Massacre, it will be Harper Lee defending the National Elite Championship against Pandora Paisley. If Pandora wins, she will not only be the National Elite Champion, but Silas Mason has to leave her alone and never approach her about recruitment again. But if she loses, Pandora must become a member of Silas World.
(Silas and Harper start to laugh.)
Silas Mason: Now that it is settled, there is a small clause on the contract. The match MUST end in pinfall or submission.
(As Silas and Harper Lee continue to laugh, Kennedy Street then starts laughing and that makes them stop suddenly.)
Kennedy Street: I saw that, so Kennie also put a little clause in the contract of my own. See, Silas, everyone knows that Silas World love to get involved. Well, the little clause is simple, if ANYONE from Silas World interferes in this match? The title will automatically go to Pandora Paisley!
(The crowd blows up in cheers as Silas eyes widened, Harper Lee looks livid while Pandora smirks and now Daryl feels better as Kennedy turns and gets right in Silas face.)
Kennedy Street: And now THAT is OFFICIAL, honey!
(“Just Stop” by Disturbed starts to play throughout the arena as Pandora shakes Kennedy’s hand as does Daryl Kinkade. Silas and Harper storm out of the ring knowing they just got duped.)
Deadprez: TALK ABOUT THE STAKES BEING HIGH! SILAS ADDED THE ONLY WAY TO WIN THE MATCH IS BY PINFALL OR SUBMISSION, NO COUNTOUTS OR DISQUALIFICATIONS! BUT KENNEDY ANSWERED BACK BY STATING THAT IF ANY OF SILAS WORLD INTERFERE, HARPER LEE LOSES THE TITLE!
Eve: This is amazing, and Kennedy Street continues to stay a few steps ahead and the stakes are even higher!
Gavin Kirkland: So much beauty in that ring, I love it!
(Silas and Harper continue to stare at Kennedy Street in the ring while Pandora and Daryl Kinkade look on as it slowly fades to a commercial break.)
(‘LIKE WEEZY’ by Playboi Carti can be heard blaring throughout the speakers as the audience immediately roars with adoration & applause. Joso emerges from the back with confidence oozing from his presence, well prepared as he gazes upon the ring ahead to the ring while walking down the ramp.)
Gina Romano: Introducing his opponent! From Bronx, New York, weighing in at 206 pounds…JOOOOOOOOOOOOOSOOOOO!!!
(‘For Heaven’s Sake by 16 Horsepower. Solomon Stan walks out with Trixie. Solomon has a focused look on his face as he stares at Joso in the ring. Solomon begins walking down the ramp, making his way to the ring.)

Daryl Kinkade: You paid to be here?
Jake Smith: You know what I meant bruv
Eve: The bickering from Jake and Daryl seemed to get Jodi’s attention for a little bit. Joso climbs the corner now he’s measuring! Solomon slowly stirring JOSO FLIES— SPRINGBOARD FROGSPLASH!

Deadprez: HE DID IT! JOSO DID IT! BY THE SKIN OF HIS TEETH, HE SURVIVES! JOSO WINS!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT WAS THE MOST UNREAL FINISH I’VE EVER SEEN! JOSO IS DEAD TO THE WORLD BUT HE STILL PULLS IT OFF!
Eve: XANDER PAYNE just gave Joso the biggest assist of the year and Jake Smith is GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR!
Gina Ramano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… JOOOOOSOOOOOOOO!!!
Jake Smith: Great job, once again WE came out on top nobody can do anything about it. BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME STANE!
Deadprez: Tonight, Joso walks out a survivor but at what cost?
Gavin Kirkland: A win is a win as they say but the real story here is, how is Solomon Stane going to deal with Xander and his little gang of misfits?
Eve: Painfully I’d assume.
( The camera shows both Jake Smith walking up the ramp with Xander, while Solomon angrily watches them. While Joso is on the outside not liking the way he got the win.The scene fades. )
(The camera shot has cut from the ringside area after the assault to the backstage area where we see Kyra Phillips standing in front of a Showdown banner with a microphone in her hand and a smile on her face as she begins to speak.)
Kyra Phillips: Wow. I am not sure if I can think of any words to describe what went down just a few moments ago at ringside. If this is the action going on now, it’s only going to get hotter and more intense as the night goes on. Right now, I am hoping to catch Xander Payne as he comes back here to hopefully get a quick interview with him to get his words on all of this. Hold on a second!
(Kyra points off screen and the camera follows where she is pointing and we see that Xander Payne has finally come backstage after his assault he committed moments ago. He then walks by Kyra as the camera follows Xander walking before coming back to Kyra.)
Kyra Phillips: There goes Xander Payne now! Let’s catch up with him.
(Kyra quickly jogs to try to catch up to Xander Payne as the camera follows along to catch up. After a few moments, Kyra finally catches up to Xander and tries to get his attention.)
Kyra Phillips: Xander! Xander Payne!
(Xander hears somebody yelling his name, so he stops walking. He looks over and sees that it’s Kyra trying to get his attention. He doesn’t look very amused at the moment but he decides to talk to Kyra.)
Xander Payne: What do you want, Kyra?
Kyra Phillips: Sorry to bother you, Xander, but I was wondering if you would be able to spare a few moments of your time for a quick interview?
Xander Payne: I’m busy right now.
Kyra Phillips: I completely understand and I apologize for bothering you, but I was just wanting a few words and I swear it won’t take up too much of your time.
(Xander sighs and rolls his eyes before he looks again at Kyra and sighs with annoyance before he replies.)
Xander Payne: I suppose I can spare a FEW moments of my time.
(Kyra slowly nods before she asks her first question.)
Kyra Phillips: Your time is greatly appreciated, Xander. So let me get right down to the questioning. This question is probably completely obvious, but what is the deal with what happened at ringside just moments ago with your vicious assault on Solomon Stane?
Xander Payne: Come on, Kyra. You are a very smart girl. You should know exactly what that attack was all about. Did you think that bastard was going to be able to get away with what he did last week by attacking me from behind?
Kyra Phillips: Quite honestly, no. I wouldn’t expect him to get away with his attack last week.
Xander Payne: You’re damn right, he wasn’t. If he was expecting to get the one up against the likes of me with that backfighting stunt, then he has another thing coming. He accomplished nothing with that crap besides the fact that all he did was piss me off. He sure as hell wasn’t going to get away with that and tonight was just the first step.
Kyra Phillips: First step? What exactly do you mean by the first step?
Xander Payne: What I mean is that while I am still angry and pissed off about Solomon attacking Impact and myself last week, there is really not much I can do since this triple threat match between all three of us at Midsummer Massacre, I am going to use this match to my advantage.
Kyra Phillips: How are you going to do that?
Xander Payne: It’s simple, Kyra. Outside of the obvious of me making Solomon’s life miserable for stupidly sticking his nose in my business where it never will belong, I am also going to use this match to remind everybody why exactly I am a member of the EAW Hall of Fame, but also to remind the world why I am one of the greatest to ever do it in all of Elite Answers Wrestling!
?????: IS THAT RIGHT?
(Xander stops talking as he wonders who cut him off midsentence. But he doesn’t get a chance to turn around and see who interrupted him as he was struck in the back of the head and stumbled forward. Kyra backs up as the camera moves over to the attacker and reveals him to be SOLOMON STANE!! Solomon is holding the back of his neck as he is still feeling the effects of Xander’s attack from moments ago. Solomon is fuming as he glares at Xander Payne.)
Solomon Stane: You’re going to remind the world why you are a Hall of Famer and one of the supposed best to ever do it in EAW? It’s your own fault that your reputation will be tarnished because you chose to align yourself with Judas and that Whore of Babylon. You will get everything that you deserve!
(Xander turns around and looks at Solomon as he also holds the back of his head after that cheap shot from Solomon. Xander doesn’t say a word as he just launches himself at Solomon Stane.)
Deadprez: XANDER JUST LANDED A RIGHT HAND ON SOLOMON’S JAW AND THE FIGHT IS ON!! THE FISTS ARE FLYING AND THEY ARE JUST BEATING THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER RIGHT!!
Gavin Kirkland: Look in the back! Kyra Phillips is getting the hell out of dodge and that might be the smartest thing for her to do considering how tough and vicious these two are.
Eve: These two are just beating the holy hell out of each other. WHERE IN THE HELL IS SECURITY RIGHT NOW TO BREAK THIS UP? ARE THEY ON A DAMN COFFEE BREAK OR SOMETHING! WE HAVE ENOUGH CHAOS GOING ON AROUND HERE!
(Solomon and Xander are still throwing fists and brawling to the point where they throw each other into production crates, which gets some of the staff members to scurry and get away from the chaos.)
Eve: This is exactly what I was talking about. These two just threw each other into the production crates and almost took out a couple of staff members. I think it’s safe to say that these two really hate each other.
Gavin Kirkland: If you ask me, go ahead and let them just beat the hell out of each other. LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
Deadprez: Why do you want them to fight now if they are going to fight at Midsummer Massacre? Sometimes you make no sense, Gavin. Solomon has just lifted Xander onto the production crates before getting onto the crates himself AND JUST THROWING PUNCH AFTER PUNCH INTO XANDER’S SKULL!!
Gavin Kirkland: How in the hell does it not make sense, Prezzy? If they are fighting at this level of intensity before Midsummer Massacre, can you imagine how badly they are going to annihilate each other in a few weeks? It won’t be just them in the match either. You can’t forget that Impact is also going to be in this match as well.
Eve: Solomon is still punching Xander on the production crates BUT XANDER IS FIGHTING BACK AS HE GRABS HOLD OF SOLOMON! XANDER HAS A HANDFUL OF SOLOMON’S HAIR TO TRY AND GET CONTROL OF THE SITUATION–
Deadprez: BOTH COMPETITORS ROLL OFF THE CRATE AND CRASH ONTO THE CONCRETE FLOOR AND ARE STILL BEATING THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER!!
Gavin Kirkland: BOTH MEN HAVE MADE IT BACK TO THEIR FEET AND FISTS ARE STILL FLYING-
(CRACK!)
Eve: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?
Gavin Kirkland: THAT WAS A STRAIGHT RIGHT HOOK TO THE BACK OF XANDER PAYNE’S HEAD AND XANDER STUMBLES TO THE GROUND!
(Xander falls to the floor like a stone as the camera moves over to show who the person was that punched Xander in the back of the head.)
Deadprez: OH MY GAWD!! IT’S IMPACT!! IMPACT WITH THE FIST OF FURY KNOCKOUT SHOT AND XANDER PAYNE IS OUT COLD!!
Eve: I am not surprised that Impact found his way into this situation because he is also in this match at Midsummer Massacre as well. Solomon has locked eyes with Impact as he holds his jaw and HE IS GOING FOR IMPACT–
Gavin Kirkland: Solomon went for a right hand on Impact, BUT IMPACT IS ABLE TO BLOCK THE RIGHT HAND BEFORE HITTING SOLOMON WITH A “FIST OF FURY” OF HIS OWN!
Deadprez: Impact is able to grab hold of Solomon before he falls to the ground. Impact has hold of Solomon as HE RUNS FULL SPEED AND SENDS SOLOMON CRASHING ALMOST HEAD FIRST INTO THE PRODUCTION CRATES!!!
(After Solomon crashes against the production crates, Impact walks over to Solomon and stands over him before looking right at him.)
Impact: You have to be very stupid. Impact is unkillable you little child!
(The final shot shows Impact walking off leaving both Solomon and Xander down and out trying to recover from the assault as the camera shot fades elsewhere.)
(We have returned after the commercial break and the camera shot is in the currently empty ringside area. There is a brief moment of silence before the sounds of ‘Lacrimosa [EPIC REMIX]’ by Samuel Kim starts playing throughout the arena as Vincent Mondrian enters the arena. The crowd is giving Vincent a very negative reaction, but Vincent isn’t paying them any mind as he heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the ring at this time, “SOUL REAPER” VINCENT MONDRIAN!
Deadprez: Well here comes Vincent Mondrian as he heads to the ring. I am going to assume that he has something to say considering that he has a match coming up in just a few moments. After what we watched last week, I think I know exactly what he is going to talk about.
Gavin Kirkland: That’s right! Vincent has some explaining to do after what he did to the beautiful Caroline last week. Oh my blood is still boiling after watching that unfold. How dare he hurt such a beautiful creature.
Eve: Creepo! You are aware that she’s not single, right?
Gavin Kirkland: That’s temporary! As soon as she wants a taller man, she knows where to find me.
Eve: For the love of gawd. Ignoring that, ever since being drafted to Showdown, it seems like Vincent has a chip on his shoulder to prove himself by any means necessary. He’s determined and we’ll give him that, but let’s hear what Vincent has to say.)
(Vincent grabs a microphone from Gina Romano before he enters the ring. He looks around and listens to the crowd’s reaction for a moment longer before his entrance music fades off and he begins to speak.)
Vincent Mondrian: Yeah I know that I have a match coming up in a few moments, but my opponent is just gonna have to wait a little bit longer to lose to me because there is something that I need to talk about right now that is just a little bit more important.
Vincent Mondrian: If you were watching Showdown last week then you know exactly what I am about to talk about and that is of course the long awaited explanation about my actions towards poor little Caroline.
(Vincent stops speaking for a moment to look around the arena with a big smirk on his face as he is obviously pleased at his actions towards Caroline last week. The reaction from the crowd is mixed. Some are cheering because they hate Caroline more than Vincent and loved to see that happen to her. Others are still booing Vincent because they really don’t care much for him anyway. He rolls his eyes at the negative reactions coming from the crowd before he continues to speak.)
Vincent Mondrian: When I was drafted to Showdown I said I was going to make an impact by any means necessary and that’s still exactly what I plan on doing. Some of you are wondering why in the world I am persistent about this, but isn’t it obvious?
Vincent Mondrian: All of last season, I was on Dyansty and all I did on Dynasty was simply exist. It was never nothing more than that and I decided that this season that I was going to do much more than just exist. I was good on Dynasty, but I just wasn’t good enough.
Vincent Mondrian: Then on my first match as a member of the Showdown brand, I unfortunately lost to Solomon Stane because of his stupid wife Trixie….
(Vincent looks to start getting angry all over again after thinking about losing his first Showdown match to Solomon, but he catches himself and takes a deep breath to control his temper.)
Vincent Mondrian: But after taking time to think about it, there really is no shame in losing to Solomon in my first match because this is just the beginning and there is a lot of season left and Solomon will no doubt have a receipt coming courtesy of me.
Vincent Mondrian: Instead of attacking Solomon and getting my revenge against him for the reasons I just discussed, I chose to go after poor little Caroline. So how about I now answer your million dollar question.
Vincent Mondrian: Why did I choose to attack Carolina and piledrive her head into the mat? Well, people, I did it for one simple reason and that reason was to make that statement that I talked about earlier.
Vincent Mondrian: In all seriousness, it was nothing personal towards Caroline. But the fact of the matter is that her name really means something in this company and I figured that she would be the absolute PERFECT launching pad to help boost my career to new heights.
Vincent Mondrian: Not only that, it would also be the perfect message for me to send to the rest of the Showdown to truly show that I mean business and that I am going to be a force on Showdown this season.
Vincent Mondrian: With that being said, I think it would be safe to assume that Caroline isn’t happy and she wants to get a little bit of revenge against me so I have the perfect idea that both of us get what we want. I get to make my attempt and she will unsuccessfully get payback against me.
Vincent Mondrian: With that being said, it looks like neither of us have anything to do for Midsummer Massacre, but that’s about to change. So how about it, Caroline? You… against me… AT MIDSUMMER MASSACRE!!
(The crowd starts cheering at the challenge for Midsummer Massacre. Not because they really like Caroline or Vincent, they just really love the chance to see another fight at the first big event of the season.)
Vincent Mondrian: No no no no no no no. Now, Caroline, this isn’t just going to be some standard run of the mill type of match. Oh no. I wanna up the ante a little bit because when I make the first big statement this season, I want a HARDCORE MATCH!!!
Vincent Mondrian: Actually. I have a much better idea. This match is going to be so much more than a simple hardcore match. The match at Midsummer Massacre is going to take hardcore to the next level.
Vincent Mondrian: This match is going to be special. This match is one that I would like to call… A SHANGHAI STREET FIGHT!!
(The crowd actually cheers a little more because you wouldn’t be a fan of EAW if you didn’t like a good street fight.)
Vincent Mondrian: That’s right! A Shanghai Street Fight! This match is going to force you to raise your level of intensity, Caroline. But just be warned that it still won’t be enough because what I did to you last week will seem like a walk in the park after what I do to you at Midsummer Massacre.
(Vincent drops the microphone as ‘Lacrimosa [EPIC REMIX]’ starts playing again as he looks around at the crowd before he walks over to one of the corners and leans back.)
Deadprez: Well this certainly took a very interesting turn with this little announcement from Vincent Mondrian. Attacking Caroline wasn’t enough. He just upped the ante with a challenge for Midsummer Massacre in a match that he calls a Shanghai Street Fight! What in the hell is a Shanghai Street Fight, dawg?
Gavin Kirkland: I really don’t know, Prezzy, but it sounds violent and I love it. I hope that the beautiful Caroline gets her revenge and beats the holy hell out of this rude Vincent for what he did to her.
Eve: No matter how much you cheer for her, she will NOT go out on a date with you! So you should just give up and quit while you are ahead before someone comes over and beats the crap out of you.
Gavin Kirkland: I WILL NOT BE SILENCED!!! I will show Caroline all the good things that I can bring to a relationship when she decides to get rid of Jake.
Eve: I am just going to ignore that comment and just mention that we will see in due time if Caroline will accept Vincent’s street fight challenge. But after what he did last week, it would be safe to assume that Caroline will most likely accept. We don’t know much about the match, but we can say that these two will just beat the hell out of each other!
Deadprez: I agree, Eve. It certainly looks like that is the way that things are going and what a battle that will be at Midsummer Massacre. But that’s a battle for another day because in just a few moments, Vincent is going to have a battle of another sort as Vincent is going to go one on one with Silas World’s Brianna Hill after the break. Vincent Mondrian. Brianna Hill. NEXT!!
(The final shot shows Vincent Mondrian still standing in the corner as he starts to prepare for his match as the camera shot fades into a commercial break.)
(Showdown comes back from commercials as it focuses on Vincent Mondrian warming up in his corner.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, ALREADY IN THE RING, FROM LAREN, NETHERLANDS, WEIGHING IN AT 205 LBS, HE IS THE “SOUL REAPER”, VINCEEEEEEEEEENNTTT MONDRIAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN!!!
(The camera then focuses on the entrance ramp as “Homecoming” by Lil Uzi Vert plays on the speakers to loud boos, as Brianna Hill comes out to the entrance ramp, a small focused expression on her face before it quickly turns into a grin as she stands in the middle of the ramp, laughing right in front of the faces of all of the people booing as Silas Mason backs her up while she goes down.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT, FROM CANCÚN, MEXICO, WEIGHING IN AT 119 POUNDS, SHE IS “THE BUTTERFLY QUEEN”, BRIANNAAAAAAAAAAAA HIIIIILLLLLLLL!!!
Gavin Kirkland: LET’S GO BRIANNA! I BELIEVE IN YOU, SHOW EM WHAT YOU GOT!
Deadprez: Brianna coming off a rough loss last week towards Daryl Kinkade, and you have to wonder, with Donovan Duke and Harper Lee off with championship duties, what will Brianna do now?
Eve: It does seem she ended up drawing the ire of one Auburn Ware last week, so it seems she might have her hands tied up when it comes to her, either way, she has a chance to get back on track by facing Vincent Mondrian tonight!
(Brianna enters the ring and she mocks the crowd a little bit more, taking off her ring jacket and taking her corner, the two competitors prepare as…)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: AND WE ARE OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY! LET’S GO SILAS WORLD, WOOOOOOOO!!!
Deadprez: Man, who is even the crowd going to root for on this occasion, it is not like these two are very well-liked!
Eve: Hey, things are going to end up working out in the end, I know at least that despite the attitude of Vincent and Brianna, they are going to wrestle with everything that they have! And here they go, as the two of them end up taking a step forward and they are ready to lock up here-
Gavin Kirkland: BEFORE BRIANNA ENDS UP TURNING OVER AND SHE TRIPS VINCENT OVER, HAHAHA! GOOD ONE, BRIANNA!
Eve: …Vincent just ended up rolling normally and avoided getting tripped up, but Brianna is still acting like he actually fell, yeah, there is still going to be a lot of shenanigans involved here, huh?
Deadprez: Told you! Obviously, Vincent is pretty pissed at the stunt that Brianna pulled here, but he is actually not going at her yet, he is actually waiting for her to approach, as he stands in silence, raises his arm and taunts Brianna to come closer. Okay, Vincent not being afraid here!
Eve: Brianna rolls her eyes and she ends up throwing some trash talk towards Vincent’s way, as she is not going to go and easily fall for that kind of trick, but in her trash talking, she ends up lowering her guard- AND HERE COMES VINCENT TO TAKE HER DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE RIGHT TOWARDS HER FACE!
Deadprez: Brianna goes down hard here and she tries to scurry up here, Vincent grabbing onto her arm and then irish whipping her towards the ropes! Vincent actually doesn’t wait for her and he decides to go the ropes close to his right, because just as Brianna bounces back-
Eve: HE HITS HER RIGHT ACROSS THE HEAD WITH A FOREARM! Vincent turning and then going to the ropes right to his left, bouncing over and then trying to go for a second forearm here!
Gavin Kirkland: But the ever beautiful Brianna Hill is able to duck under the forearm here, as she is able to grab Vincent right by the back of his head and she goes to- SLAM HIM RIGHT DOWN WITH A NECKBREAKER! There we go! That is what I like to see right now, conquer and divide, never let them know your next move, Brianna!
Eve: Here he goes yapping again… but yes, Brianna is able to bring Vincent down to the ground with that move, as she grabs him by his hair and then throws him towards the corner, Brianna moving quickly and beginning to throw some kicks right onto his gut! All while Silas Mason is looking gleeful at Brianna getting the match back under her control.
Deadprez: Obviously, the referee has to step in now as Brianna is pushing her foot right against Vincent’s head here and not letting go, as the referee begins to go for the five count and Brianna actually lets go relatively early- BEFORE STOMPING VINCENT ON THE GUT YET AGAIN! Yeah, I knew that was too good to be true.
Eve: Brianna not taking Vincent seriously right off the bat here, could cost her dearly if she isn’t careful, but despite how despicable the bald headed man is, he does actually give good advice to his wrestlers, so it seems like Brianna does have a plan here.
Gavin Kirkland: Never underestimate the brilliant Silas Mason, not even for a second, because Brianna is going to end up beating this loser in a few minutes and then we will all go and get pizza!
Deadprez: They will make the dude pay the bill and then never invite him, tragic stuff, but Brianna is grabbing onto Vincent after weakening him with those stomps, grabbing onto his arm and then pulling him towards the other corner with an irish whip! Brianna follows here and then tries to go and hit a Running Clothesline onto Vincent while in the corner!
Eve: But Vincent is able to come alive and sidestep at the last second, as Brianna crashes hard against the corner here from the clothesline! Told you it would come to bite her in the butt eventually, and that gives Vince the chance to come from behind- WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX THAT SENDS BRIANNA FLYING!
Gavin Kirkland: Okay, yeah, this might not be part of the plan but we still got it under control here! Brianna is getting back up once more after that one and brushing it off! See?! She is indestructible!
Deadprez: But getting up was probably her biggest mistake here, as she walks abckwards right towards Vincent’s grasp once more! PULLING HER BACK THIS TIME STRAIGHT INTO A BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX! Vincent pinning her off of that!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Gavin Kirkland: BRIANNA KICKS OUT! Phew, yet again she goes and saves the match for herself just like that, we gotta give some of the little guys here some hope that they might actually win every once in a while, you know?
Deadprez: Is that what one of the women that you have tried to date before said to you?
Gavin Kirkland: :francis:
Eve: Shut him up good, but yes, Brianna is able to avoid getting the three count here, but she does not prevent Vincent from continuing to attacking here, as he grabs her tightly her head and then he starts NAILING knee strikes right in her midsection this time, giving her some of her medicine here after what she did a few seconds ago… BEFORE FOLLOWING IT UP WITH A SNAP SUPLEX THAT SENDS HER DOWN!
Deadprez: Vincent Mondrian getting control of the match back to himself after Brianna tried to almost end it a few minutes ago! Vincent does not actually let go of her and he picks her up once more, pulling her back up to her feet and this time, trying to lift her up and then go for a Vertical Suplex this time!
Gavin Kirkland: But Vincent Mondrian isn’t man enough or wrestler enough to be able to go forward with it as Brianna is able to deliver a well-placed knee strike right on top of his head, and that forces him to let go of her here! Brianna lands on her feet and then she tries to go for a clothesline once more!
Eve: Vincent is able to duck down right under it and then he tries to throw an elbow on Brianna’s midsection, forcing her to go against the ropes here and then switching to grabbing onto her arm this time, as he goes to irish whip her now!
Deadprez: And Brianna is able to hold onto Vincent’s wrist instead, as she turns at the last second, kicks his hand away- AND SHE IS ABLE TO CLOTHESLINE HIM RIGHT OVER THE TOP ROPE SUCCESFULLY!
Eve: Brianna doesn’t notice though that Vincent holds on here to the ropes! Brianna is raising her arms and trying to mock the crowd here, before she turns and then goes to bounce off the ropes here, actually wanting to go for a Suicide Dive here to bring Vincent down-
Deadprez: But it is that one small mistake that Brianna doesn’t notice as Vincent goes through the ropes and once Brianna bounces back to the center- HE TAKES HER DOWN WITH A DISCUS FOREARM RIGHT TOWARDS THE FACE! Brianna goes down hard and Vincent quickly tries to go for another pinfall here!
Gavin Kirkland: Luckily, my fellow member from Silas World, is able to roll out at the last second and avoid getting pinned here by that fraud of a man! Come on Brianna, I know that you can do it! Let’s go!
Deadprez: Vincent rises up and cracks his neck, as this time he is going to be the one to try and go for the skies here! He runs towards the ropes, building up that momentum that he is looking for- before trying to go for a Suicide Dive himself through the ropes!
Gavin Kirkland: BRIANNA AVOIDS IT! LET’S GO QUEEN!
Eve: No! Vincent slows down at the last second and avoids Brianna tricking him again, he rolls under the ropes- TO GRAB ONTO HER HEAD AND THEN SLAM HER SHOULDER FIRST RIGHT AGAINST THE BARRICADE! Vincent continues to get one step ahead of her as he moves and then tries to throw her towards the steel steps here!
Deadprez: But he is not able to do it yet! Brianna turns at the last second and she ends up throwing Vincent instead towards the steel ring pole, didn’t get him the first time but going at it for a second try ended up working out just fine for Brianna! Brianna goes to throw Vincent back inside! She is moving quickly and then climbing up towards the corner of the ring, Vincent looking out of it as Brianna rises up in the top of the corner- BEFORE JUMPING OFF TO GO FOR AN ELBOW FROM THE TOP ROPE!
Eve: AND VINCENT PUTS UP HIS LEGS TO MAKE BRIANNA CRASH AGAINST THEM, AND JUST LIKE THAT, THE TWO OF THEM ARE DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh no, Silas Mason is not looking pleased at all, the boss is NOT looking good at all!
Eve: Deserved if you ask me, I don’t think most people would like to see him be happy in any way.
Deadprez: After that small crash, Brianna is actually able to get up first, she is holding onto her elbow but she wasn’t the one that got thrown face first into the ring pole after all, it is taking a bit more for Vincent to get up here, and that actually gives Brianna the chance to act here, she starts running towards the corner, getting there first and jumping onto the second rope- BEFORE GOING FOR A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY RIGHT ONTO VINCENT!
Eve: VINCENT CATCHES HER AND ROLLS THROUGH UP TO HIS FEET WITH HER! Vincent showing off some of his strength here while picking Brianna up and he is heading towards the corner here with her, looking to SLAM her over in the corner here first, all while he turns and keeps walking with her, trying to weaken her- AS HE TRIES TO-
Gavin Kirkland: That loser of Vincent Mondrian tries to transition it into the “Soulless Eclipse” but Brianna is able to kick him right in the knee before he can lift her up for that Pumphandle! Vincent gets shaken up and that gives Brianna the chance to tackle him down- BEFORE TURNING AND THEN LOCKING IN THAT FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK, RAAAAAHHHH! MY TECHNICAL WIZARD, BRIANNA HILL! TAP HIM OUT!!!
Eve: I feel like Vincent knows more about technical wrestling than Brianna here but either way, she still has him trapped here! Brianna is pulling back on Vincent’s leg here and trying to wear it down, maybe even get the opportunity to make him give up if she goes at it long enough!
Deadprez: Vincent is trying to put up a tough front but it is clear that he is struggling here, as he is starting to pull himself along the mat, trying to get towards the ropes and somehow break the submission from continuing!
Eve: But just as he gets close enough to go and grab it, Brianna tries to get up here and then pull him away-
Deadprez: AND SUDDENLY VINCENT LEANS FORWARD AND GRABS ONTO BRIANNA’S HAND! Vincent was this time lowering Brianna’s guard to trick her! Some of the crowd roars in anticipation as Vincent is tightly grabbing onto Brianna’s hand, and Brianna is panicking, Vincent staring daggers right at her, HERE WE GO!
Gavin Kirkland: PLEASE VINCENT, HAVE MERCY!
Eve: “PORTRAIT OF PAIN!!!” VINCENT PULLS ON BOTH ENDS OF HER FINGERS AND A CRACK IS HEARD ALL ACROSS THE ARENA! Brianna is screaming through her teeth now while grabbing onto her hand! She is forced to let go and retreat away all while Vincent was able to get out of the submission and rise up to his feet!
Deadprez: Vincent is trying to push his luck here and trying his best to find a way to take Brianna down! He sees her nursing her hand- BUT VINCENT IS NOT GOING TO WAIT, HE RUSHES RIGHT A THER!
Eve: BUT BRIANNA TURNS AT THE LAST SECOND AND SHE GOES TO TRY AND HIT A SUPERKICK RIGHT AT VINCENT’S JAW!
Deadprez: Vincent is able to catch Brianna’s foot right before she can hit him in the jaw, Vincent putting his guard up and being cautious helped him out this time! He throws Brianna’s leg to the side with force!
Eve: But as her leg gets pushed, Brianna spins around and this time she jumps going for an Enzuigiri Kick right towards Vincent’s head!
Gavin Kirkland: Damn it! Vincent ducks right under it and avoids getting kicked in the face once more! Vincent walks forward and then goes to grab Brianna by the waist for the second time, and then he goes to lift her up! He is going to go for that German Suplex once more! DODGE BRIANNA, PLEASE!
Eve: She is able to reverse it instead! As she is able to wrap her legs around Vincent’s waist instead as he lifts her up and she pulls down, she reverses it into a Wheelbarrow Pin!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: Vincent is able to kick out right in time before Brianna can get that three count! Vincent pushing her away from him gives Brianna some momentum as she starts running towards the ropes here, once more bouncing off and then trying to hit a soccer kick right towards Vincent’s chest just as he gets up!
Eve: Vincent leans backwards and avoids the kick right on time, before rolling forward and up to his feet, using the ropes himself and yet again, trying to go for a Discus Forearm towards Brianna’s jaw as she turns!
Deadprez: BUT BRIANNA IS ABLE TO HIT VINCENT FASTER AND SHE HITS HIM ACROSS THE FACE WITH THAT BICYCLE KNEE! Vincent falls to a knee and Brianna grabs him by his long hair- AS SHE PULLS HIM BY HIS LONG HAIR AND THEN SHE PULLS HIM DOWN ONTO HER KNEE, HAIR PULL RIGHT INTO A BACKBREAKER!
Gavin Kirkland: COME ON BRIANNAAAAA!!! SHE IS PULLING HIM UP TO HIS FEET AND THEN SHE GOES FOR IT, SHE LIFTS HIM UP TO GO FOR “THE GRUDGE!”
Eve: BUT VINCENT GETS A HOLD OF HER HAND ONCE MORE, BRIANNA LETS GO OF HIM AND VINCENT TRIES ONCE MORE TO BREAK HER FINGERS APART!
Deadprez: BRIANNA HITS A FOREARM RIGHT ACROSS HIS FACE TO STOP HIM- AND VINCENT ENDS UP COUNTER-ATTACKING, HITTING HER WITH A FOREARM THIS TIME AS BRIANNA STOPS FOR A MOMENT!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT SHE SHAKES HER HEAD AND PUSHES THROUGH THE PAIN AS SHE THROWS ONE LAST FOREARM!
Deadprez: VINCENT POPS HER UP!!!
Eve: POP-UP FOREARM RIGHT ON THE AIR!!! BRIANNA GETS HIT IN MID-AIR OUT OF NOWHERE ALL WHILE VINCENT FALLS TO THE MAT IN EXHAUSTION!
(The lights suddenly go out. When they come back on Vincent Mondrian is blind, his face is covered in black goo as he tries to help himself up with the ropes.)
Deadprez: WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED TO MONDRIAN!? HE IS BLINDED AND BRIANNA HILL KNEES HIM THE BACK AS HE FALLS OUT OF THE RING! THE REFEREE HAS NO OTHER CHOICE THAN TO MAKE THE COUNT!
1…..2….3…..
Eve: VINCENT IS TRYING TO RUB THE STUFF OUT OF HIS EYES! BUT HE CAN’T SEE ANYTHING! HE IS TRYING TO FIND THE APRON AND THE ROPES!
4….5….6….
Gavin Kirkland: THE REFEREE KEEPS COUNTING AND i THINK THIS MIGHT BE IT FOR VINCENT AS HE IS REACHING FOR THE ROPES BUT IS IN A LOT OF PAIN!
7…. 8….. 9….
Deadprez: HE HAS A HOLD OF THE ROPES AND IS LIFTING HIMSELF UP ON THE APRON…. BUT HE FALLS BACK TO THE FLOOR!
10!
(DING!!!! DING!!!! DING!!!!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER AS A RESULT OF A COUNTOUT…. BRIANNA HILL!!!!
(“Homecoming” by Lil Uzi Vert starts to play throughout the arena as Brianna Hill has her arm raised by Silas Mason, as they are celebrating in the ring, Vincent still can;t see but he feels a pair of boots standing over him being none other than Caroline. She squats down holding his hair.)
Caroline: I accept…. at the Midsummer Massacre.
(She drops his head and walks off as he struggles to see, finally some medical personnel come to help and wash out his eyes.)
Eve: It was Caroline! And after the challenge he made right before the match, and she accepted her way after he attacked her last week! And another match is set!
Gavin Kirkland: The Goth Queen did it again and maybe it was Vincent that made the mistake!
Deadprez: That is definitely something he is going to have to deal with now. Brianna Hill wins by countout thanks to Caroline. We will be right back!
(Brianna is still celebrating in the ring with Silas while the medical staff attends to Vincent before cutting to a commercial break.)
(MISSING SEGMENT WILL BE ADDED ASAP)
(The camera has cut to the backstage area where we see Clayton Golde and Bridget Bridget, now known as #Hashtag watching a video off of Bridget’s phone. They are both wearing TikTok shirts because they are both not only social media obsessed, but Midsummer Massacre is being presented by TikTok. The video finishes and both Clayton and Bridget look at each other and smile.)
Clayton Golde: What did I tell you? That video is going to go absolutely viral on TikTok. No surprise considering it is us.
Bridget Bridget: You mean us as in the future EAW Unified Tag Team Champions?
Clayton Golde: Of course. When we win the titles, we are going to be the viral Tag Team Champions in HISTORY!
Bridget Bridget: But first we have to beat the hell out of that Showtime tag team. Which we no doubt will.
Clayton Golde: Yeah yeah. They are going to be a waste of our time. You know what? I have an idea!
Bridget Bridget: What’s that?
Clayton Golde: Since Midsummer Massacre is sponsored by TikTok and this event is a Showdown production, how about we help with the advertising and include the rest of the Showdown roster in our TikToks!
Bridget Bridget: That’s a great idea! Who better to TikTok the Showdown brand than #Hashtag to liven things up with our amazing social media skills considering the rest of these losers have no idea how to probably use TikTok on the level that we do. So let’s find some of the Showdown Elitists and have them feel like viral sensations for the first time in their sad lives. Come on. Let’s go!
(Clayton nods as he grabs a bag and they go walking around the backstage area looking for victims, we mean willing participants to join in on #Hashtag’s TikTok fun. They walk around the backstage area until they find Matthew Kazama in the back. Clayton and Bridget look at each other and nod as Bridget pulls out her phone and they go to blindside Matthew. Clayton runs up and puts a TikTok sticker on Matthew, which leaves him very confused.)
Matthew Kazama: What the…
Bridget Bridget: Shut up and look at me. We are about to start recording…NOW!
(Kazama still looks confused but goes along with the craziness.)
Clayton Golde: Hey! Matthew Eczema.
Matthew Kazama: Kazama.
Clayton Golde: It doesn’t matter. So, in your opinion, who do you think has the most painful finisher on Showdown?
Matthew Kazama: Well I haven’t been on Showdown for very long and my answer will probably change the longer the season goes, but out of all the people that I have faced in the ring so far, I would say that Vincent’s finisher was the most painful I’ve taken.
(Clayton and Bridget look at each other and roll their eyes as they wave Kazama off. Kazama starts pulling off the sticker as #Hashtag continues on looking for more Elitists.)
Bridget Bridget: Damn, that was a total bust, but a crappy TikTok is better than no TikTok at all. Not every video is going to be a viral sensation.
Clayton Golde: We can only get better from here. Let’s keep looking.
(Clayton and Bridget walk around the backstage area a little more until they find the Universal Women’s Champion, Ms. Extreme talking on the phone. They walk up to her and Clayton pulls out another TikTok sticker. Ms. Extreme glares at the two and hangs up her phone.)
Ms. Extreme: You put that sticker on me and I will make sure that you will be drinking your meals for the remainder of the season.
(Clayton and Bridget look at each other and put their hands up in surrender as Clayton puts the TikTok sticker back in the bag.)
Bridget Bridget: We apologize about that. We were wanting to know if you wanted to be in one of our special TikToks considering Midsummer Massacre is sponsored by TikTok?
(Camille looks at #Hashtag and wonder what in the hell they are talking about. The last thing the Champ really wants to do is film a TikTok with a bunch of idiots.)
Ms. Extreme: Why in the hell should I do some stupid TikTok video, much less with you two who I have no idea who either of you are.
Clayton Golde: Well we are the team known at #Hashtag and we are the future Unified Tag Team Champions.
Ms. Extreme: So what’s your point? Unless you say something worthwhile, I am going to hurt you two before I find Bea Valentine.
Clayton Golde: We wanted to film you in one of our videos because we couldn’t think of a better person than the Universal Women’s Champion herself. The best of the best. So will you do it?
(Camille thinks about it for a second and decides why not as she nods her head.)
Ms. Extreme: Hell, why not? Maybe doing this stupid video for TikTok will take the anger away for a few brief seconds.
Bridget Bridget: Great!! Let’s do it.
(Bridget pulls out her phone and starts filming before she asks Camille a question.)
Bridget Bridget: Ms. Extreme. Universal Women’s Champion. We were wondering who you think has the most painful finisher in all of EAW?
Ms. Extreme: That’s an easy answer. ME! I have the most painful finishers in all of EAW.
Clayton Golde: You?
Ms. Extreme: That’s right. Me! When I use a finisher, they either give up or they don’t give up. We’re done here!
(Ms. Extreme walks away, leaving #Hashtag completely stunned as they continue on looking for more Elitists.)
Bridget Bridget: Geez. What a bitch. Remind me to never ask her for help again.
Clayton Golde: Yeah. She could have just said no. But look over there. Look at the dressing room.
(They look over at the partially open door to see that it is the Silas World dressing room. They walk over to the door and see Donovan Duke preparing for his match later tonight while Harper Lee is helping Donovan prepare. Clayton and Bridget smile as they stick TikTok stickers on Harper and Donovan’s backs.)
Harper Lee: What is your problem? Get out of our locker room!
Donovan Duke: Do you two idiots have a death wish or something? I have a match in the main event tonight! What the hell do you want?
Clayton Golde: We’re doing TikTok’s and we were wanting to feature the most dominant group in EAW.
Bridget Bridget: If we are helping for Midsummer Massacre, we have to have the best people in the video.
Donovan Duke: We know you two are being a bunch of kiss asses and playing us.
Harper Lee: But Silas World does make things better… so why not. Just don’t waste our time.
(Bridget pulls out her phone as Clayton asks Silas World a question.)
Clayton Golde: Silas World. What do you think are the best theme songs in EAW history?
Donovan Duke: We have the same answer, so these themes are in no particular order….
Harper Lee: First is the Silas World theme of course.
Donovan Duke: Second is the lovely Harper Lee’s theme.
Harper Lee: Next is Donovan Duke’s theme.
Donovan Duke: Finally is Brianna Hill’s entrance music.
(Clayton looks at Bridget with a confused look on his face as Bridget just shrugs.)
Clayton Golde: Wait a second. What is your number five?
Harper Lee: We have listed the only four themes that matter.
Donovan Duke: Now get out before we beat the holy shit out of you.
(Harper shoves them both out of the locker room and slams the door in #Hashtag’s faces as they walk away from Silas World.)
Bridget Bridget: That was extremely rude of them. No wonder those two like each other so much.
Clayton Golde: Yeah. The crazy bitch and the psycho bastard deserve each other. People have just been so rude to us lately. This is what we get for being nice.
Bridget Bridget: Exactly. We try to make a few members of the Showdown roster viral sensations and they treat us like crap. You know what? Forget the rest of the roster. They don’t deserve our help. Let’s go on. There is one more dance I wanna film for another TikTok video. That stupid Showtime team just wishes they could be us.
(Clayton nods and they find a secluded part of the backstage area where Bridget puts her phone down and starts to record.)
Bridget Bridget: Ready?
Clayton Golde: Yes. Let’s create another viral moment that Showtime wishes they could achieve on their own.
(Before they start dancing, Akari Kiyoko and Damien Kutcher, known as Showtime, come up from behind them and attack them.)
Eve: SHOWTIME HAVE SHOWN UP AND THEY HAVE ATTACKED #HASHTAG FROM BEHIND AND THEY ARE BEATING THEM DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: They are just jealous that they can’t be Internet sensations that Clayton and Bridget are. How sad.
Eve: You call it sad, but I call it annoyed with these two loudmouths talking and talking and talking. Clayton and Bridget are trying to fight back, but they are just getting overwhelmed by Showtime.
Deadprez: I think that they have made their presence felt as Bridget was taken down by Damien AS CLAYTON EATS A SUPERKICK FROM AKARI BEFORE DAMIEN PICKS HIM UP AND DROPS HIM WITH THE SCOOP SLAM PILEDRIVER!!
(#Hashtag has been knocked out. Showtime has smirks on their faces as they look at Bridget’s phone and wave to the camera before they lean down and talk to the knocked out team.)
Akari Kiyoko: You’re right! There will be a viral moment at Midsummer Massacre.
Damien Kutcher: And that moment will be when we become the Number One Contenders for the Unified Tag Team Championships. What hashtag will you use then?
(The final shot shows Showtime standing up before walking away as #Hashtag are left trying to recover after the assault and are barely moving as the camera shot fades elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( 𝙎𝙤𝙠𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙪 – 𝙏𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙖 𝘿𝙚 𝙊𝙙𝙤𝙧𝙪 hits to boos from the crowd.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first from Aomori, Japan, being accompanied by Luna and Damien Kutcher… he is one half of Showtime… AKARI KIYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKO!!!!
(Akari Kiyoko makes his way down to the ring as Damien Kutcher psychs him up for the upcoming bout.)
Eve: Showtime has quickly proven to be a force to be reckoned with here in EAW. They are planning to run wild over this entire roster!
Deadprez: Akari is in singles action here tonight but you have to wonder about the presence of Damien Kutcher at ringside and what that could mean…
Gavin Kirkland: Don’t forget the presence of Luna. Damn girl!
Eve: How could we forget…
(The crowd erupts into cheers as “Gloria” by the London Symphony Orchestra hits!!! )
Gina Romano: And his opponent from Boston, Massachusetts, she is “The Eternal Empress” BEA VALEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENTINE!!!
(Bea Valentine makes her dramatic entrance being accompanied by Cornelius who holds the ropes open for her to enter.)
Eve: Bea Valentine is a former World Champion. Former Empress of Elite. She’s done it all! A true bonafide megastar here on Showdown!
Deadprez: No doubt she is one of the most popular Elitists in the world today. But she is also a menace in the ring. Akari Kiyoko is looking to score an upset over one of the top stars in EAW today!
Gavin Kirkland: Cornelius needs to get out of my line of sight. He’s blocking my view of both Bea and Luna! How dare he!
Eve: Nah Cornelius keep standing exactly where you are my friend…
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: This match is underway and this is gonna be a big one folks. A former World Champion and one half of Showtime are colliding!
Deadprez: Lets get it!
Eve: Bea Valentine and Akari Kiyoko lock up in the ring as Bea shows some impressive strength and shoves Akard backwards into the corner. Bea jumps up as Damien Kutcher sweeps his hand into the ring nearly tripping her.
Referee: :francis:
Damien Kutcher: I didn’t do anything! You didn’t see anything!
Eve: Already the interference factor is playing a part in this match. It seems like the referee at least for now is content with letting Damien off with a warning. But I would not be surprised if it escalates into ejections or even disqlaulifications at this rate.
Gavin Kirkland: I feel so loved having so many friends around ringside with me right now. Cornelius, Luna, and Damien Kutcher. Not to mention you Eve!
Eve: Please don’t mention me…
Deadprez: I’m cool with not being mentioned at all. (H) !
Eve: Anyway… It looks like Akari Kiyoko is feeling himself now that Bea Valentine is flustered by that interference. She is realizing what she has gotten herself into here and this is going to be no easy feat even for someone as great and successful as she is.
Deadprez: Both competitors circle around the ring quickly going to lock up in the middle of the ring and fight for position. This time it looks like Akari Kiyoko manages to shove Bea Valentine backwards into the corner. Bea ducks under the ropes and the referee orders the break. Akari slaps her upside the head before backing off.
Eve: Akari Kiyoko smirking now at Bea Valentine who busts out of the corner charging in at him with a big Clothesline. But Akari ducks it and catches Bea by the arm! Akari twists the arm of Bea around into an armbar and then transitions into a wristlock but Bea grabs the arm of Akari and breaks herself free with ease. Bea is not going to let Akari manhandle her as he grabs her around the waist but she ducks down onto her knees and slides between his legs. Bea punches Akari hard right in his lower back as he spins around holding his spine in pain.
Deadprez: Bea got the better of him there! Akari is not enjoying being on the losing end of that exchange. They go to lock up once more…
Gavin Kirkland: I’m just glad that Bea’s good looks won’t get too harmed from this great technical wrestling. Unlike the commentators on other brands I am not bothered by such things. <3 <3 <3
Eve: True but possibly not for the right reasons…
Deadprez: Bea and Akari lock up as Akari transitions Bea into a Side Headlock taking her quickly down to one knee. But Bea powers back up and shoves Akari into the ropes. Akari bursts off the ropes and comes flying into Bea with a Flying Shoulder Tackle taking her down! Akari got all of it as he lands on top of Bea for the first cover of this matchup!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Eve: But Bea Valentine powers out throwing Akari Kiyoko up and off her immediately! She’s nowhere near ready to be pinned!
Deadprez: Both competitors back up and they stand off once more. Bea Valentine is looking intense now as she is getting really focused here and now. They lock up in the middle of the ring with Akari Kiyoko immediately overpowering Bea and taking her down to the mat with an arm across her neck. He grabs the arm and attempts to hook an Armbar in but Bea flips out of it rolling back up around onto her feet. Akari holds onto the arm as Bea gets back up and yanks her in pulling her into Suplex position!
Gavin Kirkland: But Bea slips out up over the back of Akari avoiding the Suplex. Bea grabs Akari from behind pulling him in but Akari grabs the ropes with his hands and Bea is forced to let go. Back in the middle of the ring they lock up again. Bea quickly goes around behind the back of Akari wrapping her arms around his waist. But Akari breaks her hands free grabs her by the neck and takes her down with a Snapmare. Akari follows through transitioning into a Headlock looking to keep Bea grounded here. Bea is struggling now to kick her legs towards the ropes but she isn’t quite there. She is trying and struggling to make it!
Eve: Bea manages to slip free of the headlock and gets back up. Akari rushes in at her but Bea sidesteps. Akari runs into the ropes and comes back smashing into Bea with a Shoulder Block. Bea falls to the mat as Akari quickly covers once again!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Deadprez: And just like before Bea is definitely not having any plans of staying down for the count off something like a Shoulder Block. It is going to take a lot more than the most basic of maneuvers to defeat her! Akari is going to have to go all out…
Eve: Both competitors back up as now both of them look fully focused. The people surrounding the ring are definitely focused too. The crowd is getting into it as so far these two seem to be evenly matched. I’m not sure wh-
Deadprez: Suddenly Akari Kiyoko rushes in and grabs the leg of Bea Valentine! He got her! Akari grabs the leg of Bea and tries to trip her backwards! But Bea manages to stay standing and kicks upwards with her other leg! But Akari had it scouted! Bea kicks around but manages to land her other leg on the ground to remain standing. She then kicks backwards and hits Akari on the side of the ear with her boot! Akari goes flying across the ring from that strike. That was one hell of a strike!
Gavin Kirkland: Akari is down and grounded and Bea grabs his arm holding him down hoping to make him stay that way. Akari powers his way back up to his feet but Bea takes him down with a Snapmare into a Sleeper Hold! But Akari has his feet in the ropes. Akari gets back up and manages to shove Bea off of him. Akari shoves Bea into the ropes but she comes running back out and takes Akari down with a Running Dropkick!!! Akari got all of that one!
Eve: Akari Kiyoko puts Bea Valentine into a Grapevine Choke on the mat. Bea grabs the ropes! But Akari pulls back on the choke pulling her back and into the ring. Bea is reaching out towards the ropes again but they are too far! Bea manages to pull her legs free breaking Akari’s hold. Bea maneuvers herself sideways pulling herself up to her feet as Akari tries to keep the hold applied. But Bea eventually breaks free! No! Akari grabs Bea by the waist and flips her sideways with a Belly to Belly Suplex! Bea back up as Akari kicks her in the gut and hits a Snap Suplex across the ring. Akari then applies a Sleeper Hold and looks to be putting the Grapevine Choke right back on! Right back to where we started!
Deadprez: But this time Bea Valentine won’t even let Akari get it applied! Bea breaks free of the legs and pulls herself up! But Akari shoves her into the corner. Akari runs in with a Stinger Splash into the corner. Akari then grabs Bea and pulls her in before tossing her backwards with another Belly to Belly Suplex! Akari goes for the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Eve: Only a one count still! This is why Bea Valentine is a champion. She’s hard to put down. It seems like this evenly paced match is now beginning to shift into Akari Kiyoko’s favor. It might take a lot to put Bea down but she is going to need to change the course of this match to avoid defeat here tonight on Showdown!
Deadprez: Akari quickly traps Bea into a headlock trying to stay on her and keep the pressure applied. Bea is clearly getting worn out from all of these headlocks and other chain wrestling maneuvers that have been used so far. Bea lunges herself forward and throws Akari into the corner! Akari goes head first into the turnbuckle pad! Bea slowly recovers and pulls herself up as Akari turns around.
Gavin Kirkland: Akari rushes in with a Knee Strike to the he-
Eve: But Bea Valentine hits it first! Bea just kneed the head off Akari Kiyoko! And that sounded like a gunshot just went off in the arena! Bea falls on top of Akari!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Referee: TW-
Deadprez: But it’s not enough! It might be enough for Bea to get an opening however. She is going to need to take advantage of this as if Akari recovers he could easily put her away here tonight! Bea pulls Akari back up and begins to knee him repeatedly in the gut. Bea whips Akari across the ring and drops him with another Running Dropkick. Another cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Referee: TW-
Eve: And Bea immediately transitions into a Headlock of her own! Now it is Bea who is the one desperately keeping the pressure applied! But Akari powers out of it so Bea headbutts him and then backs across the ropes and runs in with a Knee Drop to the face. Bea grabs Akari and grabs him around the ankle flipping him over and into an Ankle Lock! Akari struggles trying to reach the ropes but Bea wraps her legs around him trying to keep him from moving! But Akari grabs her legs and begins to pry them apart.
Deadprez: Akari suddenly hurls himself sideways flipping over onto his back. The referee scrambles sideways trying to get out of the way of the commotion!Bea scrambles to grab onto his leg and keep hold but Akari leans back and kicks forward with Bea into the ropes! Bea falls into the ro-
Gavin Kirkland: And Damien Kutcher was holding the top rope and Bea Valentine falls over to the outside! The referee had his back turned for half a second and missed the whole thing!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Eve: And now Cornelius is running around the ring and yelling at Damien Kutcher! I’m not sure it is a good idea for him to get into a fight with Damien! And now Luna is getting involved and slaps the face of Cornelius! Cornelius is enraged but then Damien steps up to him daring him to do anything about it. And now the referee is yelling at the gathering outside the ring telling them to move away from the competitors.
Deadprez: Akari tells Luna and Damien that he’s got this as he picks up Bea outside the ring and rams her head hard into the ring apron. Akari slams Bea’s face in repeatedly before tossing her back on up and into the ring. Bea slowly gets back up as Akari grabs her into the ropes and drops her neck first over the top rope. Bea falls onto the apron choking. Bea gets back up now as she reaches over the top rope but Akari grabs her by the neck once again dropping her onto the top rope. Bea stays standing but Akari runs up against the ropes and hits a Springboard Dropkick twisting sideways in midair to kick the chest of Bea and send her sprawling to the outside of the ring. And now it looks like we might have a count out situation right here and now!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWO!
Referee: THREE!
Referee: FOUR!
Referee: FIVE!
Eve: But Bea Valentine is slowly getting back up. Cornelius is jumping for joy on the other side of the ring. Akari Kiyoko looks annoyed as Bea slowly shoves herself under the bottom rope. The resilience of this former World Champion!!! Akari immediately grabs her and picks her up dropping her with the Dead Stroke!!! The Rolling Thunder DDT out of nowhere! Akari got all of it! The cover! This could be it!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: No! Bea Valentine just barely kicks out right before three! That was the closest that this match has come to ending so far! Akari Kiyoko is visibly seething!
Gavin Kirkland: Akari grabs a handful of Bea’s hair and whips her across the ring like a ragdoll. Bea lands on her hands and knees as Akari runs in kicking her hard in the gut! No wait! Bea grabbed the leg of Akari! Bea lifts Akari up in the air and out of nowhere drops him with a Sit Down Powerbomb! God damn that thing shook the whole ring!
Eve: The crowd is electric now as both competitors are laid out in the ring. They have both given it all they have got! Bea Valentine managed to save herself here but can she capitalize?!?!
Deadprez: Both competitors slowly get back up now as Bea Valentine slaps Akari hard repeatedly across the chest sending him into the corner. Bea whips Akari across the ring! No! The reversal! Akari sends Bea into the corner and charges in. But Bea gets a boot up. Bea kicks Akari out of the corner.
Eve: Bea hoists herself up to the middle rope and throws herself at Akari in midair!!! Flight of the BumbleBEA connects!!! Bea got all of that Frog Splash and just flattened Akari like a pancake! The cover!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: But Damien Kutcher slides Akari Kiyoko’s leg onto the bottom rope! The referee again did not see it!
Gavin Kirkland: We gotta get better refs man…
Eve: Bea Valentine did see it however and she is enraged! Bea reaches over the top rope and grabs Damien Kutcher by the hair! Bea yanking Damien by the hair up onto the apron! She slaps the shit out of him! Damien goes flying off the apron and crashes into the LED barricade at ringside! Luna rushes over to check on him! Cornelius is laughing his ass off!
Crowd: BEA! BEA! BEA!
Eve: But hold up Bea Valentine took her eye off the ball! Akari Kiyoko grabs her from behind and he is looking to take on full advantage up in here!
Deadprez: PEACH DREAM!!!
Eve: Holy shit! Akari Kiyoko just hit that Claymore Kick out of nowhere as soon as Bea Valentine turned around! He just kicked her head off and Bea is out cold! Bea is down for the count! Akari falls on top of her for the cover! This is it! We are about to see a former World Champion defeated here tonight! This is a major upset!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Eve: But turnabout is fair play! The referee didn’t see it! Cornelius slid Bea Valentine’s leg under the bottom rope! The crowd is cheering it!
Gavin Kirkland: What a biased crowd… So it’s ok when Bea does it?
Deadprez: Damien Kutcher started it! And now Showtime is getting a taste of their own medicine! I love to see it!
Eve: Now Akari is yelling at Cornelius but what the… Bea is up on her feet already?!?! Akari turns around…
Deadprez: BEA TRIGGER!!!
Eve: No! Damien Kutcher is up on the apron! He’s distracting Bea!!! Akari from behind with the Rollup!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: But Bea kicks out!!!
Eve: Wait what the hell?!?! Someone just yanked Damien Kutcher down off the apron!!
Deadprez: It’s Bridget Bridget and Clayton Golde! They are beating the hell out of Damien and Luna at ringside!!
Gavin Kirkland: That is #HashTag!!! The recently formed team here in EAW has struck and they are taking out one half of Showtime!
Eve: But here comes Akari coming to his partner’s aid!!!
Deadprez: BEA TRIGGER!!!
Eve: No! He took the eye off the ball and Bea struck! Bea just annihilated Akari with that Bea Trigger! Bea to the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Referee: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… BEA VALENTINE!!!
(The crowd explodes as “Gloria” by the London Symphony Orchestra hits. Cornelius enters the ring to raise Bea’s arm as she celebrates. But there is ongoing commotion outside the ring!)
Eve: #HashTag is now assaulting Damien Kutcher with a steel chair! And now Luna just got hit as well! We need security out here right now!
(Security swarms the ring to drag #HashTag away as they threaten lawsuits and scream angrily.)
Deadprez: Damn the tag team division is really heating up here on Showdown. These teams are at each other’s throats trying to tear each other apart!
Eve: I have to imagine that Showtime will be out for payback soon enough. Midsummer Massacre is just right around the corner! There will be HELL to pay!
(The camera cuts to a commercial for Midsummer Massacre.)
(The show comes back from commercial.)
Eve: As you can see Bea Valentine is still in the ring celebrating her big victory over Akari Kiyoko. During the commercial break we saw security restore a bit of order out here with the removal of Showtime and #HashTag from ringside.
Gavin Kirkland: The crowd definitely did not like that.
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
Deadprez: They have been chanting that basically the entire commercial break.
Gavin Kirkland: Look at Bea Valentine continuing to hog the spotlight in the ring. I mean I don’t mind looking at her tho… But damn Cornelius is really ruining it for me. I even put my lube away.
Eve: I thought we got rid of all of it.
Gavin Kirkland: That is what I wanted you to think! :mjgrin:
Deadprez: Props due to Bea Valentine that was one hell of a wi
Eve: LOOK OUT!!!
( CLANG )
Deadprez: What the hell?
Eve: Ms. Extreme!!! MS. EXTREME IS HERE!!!
Deadprez: MS EXTREME JUST LAID OUT CORNELIUS WITH A STEEL CHAIR IN THE RING!!!
(Bea Valentine is shown on the top rope with her arms raised as she turns around in confusion quickly realizing what happened.)
Eve: Cornelius just got his head taken off with that steel chair! Ms. Extreme was swinging for the fences!
(Cornelius is shown lying on the mat with a glazed look in his eyes. Bea Valentine gets down off the top rope as she runs over to check on him.)
Bea Valentine: (off-mic) NO! CORNELIUS! NO! WHY! YOU FILTHY BI-
( CLANG )
Eve: But Ms. Extreme shows no remorse! She slams the chair down over Bea Valentine as she mourns over the fallen Cornelius! Ms. Extreme is slamming that chair repeatedly into the head of Bea! Ms. Extreme is going crazy!
Deadprez: Somebody has to stop this! Where did security go?
Gavin Kirkland: I think all of our security is tied up with the brawl between Showtime and #HashTag right now! They are probably still fighting backstage!
Deadprez: Come on man we gotta have more security than that!
(Ms. Extreme is shown laughing in the ring as the crowd boos her heavily. However, she ignores them and picks Bea Valentine back up.)
Eve: HOLY GROUND! Ms. Extreme just planted Bea Valentine down with that devastating maneuver! Right onto the chair too! Ms. Extreme has demonic intentions here tonight and this crowd is nearly rioting!
Crowd: YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!
Deadprez: This crowd is fed up as fuck.
(Ms. Extreme slides the chair around the neck of Bea Valentine.)
Crowd: :whoa: !!!!
Eve: Oh hell no. Come on that is way too far.
Ms. Extreme: (off-mic) Don’t worry Bea. I’m not going to actually do it. I could end your career right now if I wanted to. Just completely take you out. I already humiliated you once after all at Pain for Pride. This could all be over right now. Just one stomp on this chair right here. SNAP! Your neck is gone and you in a wheelchair for the rest of your life!
Crowd: ASSHOLE! ASSHOLE! ASSHOLE!
Eve: We really need security before Bea Valentine ends up having her career ended! I don’t trust Ms. Extreme at all!
(Ms. Extreme grabs a microphone and waits for the crowd to quiet down before speaking so the entire world can hear what she has to say.
Ms. Extreme: Quiet now Bea. Listen to me. I don’t want you in a wheelchair. I want you to be able to walk into this ring. So that you can stand across from me once more and I can embarrass you again at Midsummer Massacre. I don’t want to be deprived of that as much as I would like to put an end to you here and now. I am not a cowardly woman. I am a fighter and you are at my mercy. I just wanted to remind you of the pecking order around here. I just wanted to remind you of who the hell I am. I just wanted you to know what I am capable of. Not that I am going to end your career. Just that I could do so if I wanted to.
(Ms. Extreme presses down on the chair with her foot causing Bea Valentine to wince as the pressure is placed on her neck.)
Ms. Extreme: Do you feel that Bea? That is just a small taste of the pain that I have in store for you. Do you realize how much of a stupid bitch you really are Bea? After what I did to you at Pain for Pride you should have looked in the opposite direction. Looked anywhere else. Looked back to your sisters. Maybe another brand. Maybe go fight with the weak little men’s roster for awhile. Because my division is where queen’s only compete. You just aren’t welcome here anymore and in Shanghai I will show you all that and more.
(Ms. Extreme holds up the Universal Women’s Championship high in the air.)
Ms. Extreme: Midsummer Massacre is indeed going to be a massacre. Because when I have you where I want you I won’t be pulling my punches like I am tonight. I don’t care if your neck gets snapped then and there. I will make an example of you to anyone else on the roster who things that they can come after me. I am going to send a message. DON’T YOU DARE EVER HUNT WHAT YOU CAN’T KILL!!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Ms. Extreme: As you can see Bea… I could easily kill you right here right now. So make no mistake about it. I’m hunting you and at Midsummer Massacre you will be my prey! See you in Shanghai.
(Ms. Extreme slams the microphone down as she leaves the ring to heavy boos from the crowd. Bea Valentine is shown slowly managing to slide the chair off her neck. She coughs a bit before returning to Cornelius who is slowly starting to wake up and realize what has happened.)
Eve: Damn. I don’t think we have seen a dangerous version of Ms. Extreme like this for awhile. She is truly ruthless.
Gavin Kirkland: She is hotter when scary.
Deadprez: I agree she is scary and at Midsummer Massacre will Bea Valentine manage to avenge Pain for Pride? Or will Ms. Extreme live up to her claim and put Bea Valentine out of her sights and out of title contention once and for all?!?!
(The camera cuts to a commercial for Snickers.)
(Showdown returns from a commercial break with Gina Romano taking center position in the ring to announce the main event of the evening, looking to close off Showdown on a high note.)
Gina Romano: YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘New Devil’ by Asking Alexandria hits the PA system as Daryl Kinkade makes his entrance, wearing full black and white gear for tonight’s important main event. Kinkade kneels at the center of the stage, letting the beaming light highlight his aura before removing his hoodie and marching his way to the ring under the name of the Kink of Elite.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM NORWICH, ENGLAND!… WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS!… THE KINK OF ELITE!… DARYLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!… KINKADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl Kinkade makes a gloomy entrance here tonight, reflecting his renewed purpose and the new persona he brings into this season of his Kinky journey! Oh, and let’s not forget. Please welcome our special guest commentator for tonight… VEENA ADAMS! Hi, Veena!
(Camera pans to the side, showing Veena Adams in a luxurious outfit and Ray-Ban sunglasses, holding the Answers World Championship on her shoulder as she leans back in her chair, giving a very nonchalant look toward the match.)
Veena Adams: Please don’t say anything weird to me and just leave me alone, Gavin. I’m so sick of your behavior when you commentate on my matches, and now sitting next to you is giving me the worst vibe!
Deadprez: :mjlol: damn.
Eve: What an entrance for Veena Adams!
Gavin Kirkland: SHUT UP GUYS! THIS IS NOT FUNNY!
Eve: Anyway, Daryl Kinkade has arrived for the main event scene, and he’s prepared to pull off a win against the former Answers World Champion, gaining huge momentum heading into his triple threat match at Midsummer Massacre! This is going to be a huge one for Daryl to win here tonight.
(Daryl enters the ring and poses briefly, receiving a few boos from the crowd. He doesn’t react much to the noise, instead turning his eyes toward the stage while taking off his entrance gear. ‘Enemy’ by From Ashes to New hits as Donovan Duke makes his way to the ring with Silas Mason following close behind massaging his shoulders. Donovan Duke is met with even louder boos than Daryl Kinkade, making his way to the ring with a hateful glare aimed directly at Kinkade.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT!… ACCOMPANIED BY SILAS MASON!… FROM STILLWATER, OKLAHOMA!… WEIGHING IN AT 212 POUNDS!… DEVIOUS & DEBONAIR!… DONOVANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!… DUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: And what a welcoming crowd here in San Francisco, California for Donovan Duke to make his grand entrance!
Veena Adams: I absolutely don’t like either of these men, and someone as foul and old as Silas Mason needs to burn in hell as soon as possible for all the damage he’s done. I can’t stand that he continues to rot this brand, overrun it, and trample all over my name!
Deadprez: Silas World has turned themselves into the number one public enemy, and now they’re facing resistance from all sides. Donovan Duke is in the spotlight tonight, and it’s Daryl Kinkade who’s looking to expose them here in the main event scene!
(DING DING DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: INSTANT CLASSIC IS IN MAKING! Some of the most talented Elitists we have today have been paired together, and this is about to turn Showdown into a marquee event overnight!
Veena Adams: God no.
Eve: Kinkade is now taking a careful approach to this match, as the Kink of Elite himself slows down the pace to match the type of circumstance he’s in. Donovan Duke is quickly getting aggressive from the outside, seizing one of Kinkade’s wrists and locking it in tightly underneath his grasp!
Deadprez: Classic Donovan Duke, he’s going in hard against his opponent right away. The arm that was supposed to lock up in a standard collar-and-elbow tie-up ends up becoming his personal advantage. He’s getting selfish with the offense quickly as Donovan is trying to take control before Daryl can even bring anything to the table!
Gavin Kirkland: Kinkade is now slowly regaining his composure, staying low to the mat while Donovan still holds onto his wrist and attempts to twist it out. But Kinkade rolls forward, kips up to his feet quickly, and counters, twisting Donovan Duke’s arm and flipping him over the back of his neck with a smooth takedown as Kinkade transitions immediately into a grounded arm hold, applying pressure against the former Answers World Champion!
Eve: Nice transition by Kinkade to take control against his opponent here. Silas Mason is watching on with concern as his man has just been taken down. What could’ve been early momentum for Donovan Duke might already be slipping away!
Veena Adams: You know, in this match, I don’t particularly like either of these men because they’re both pretty annoying cunts but I’m just hoping Daryl Kinkade pulls off the win, just to prove how much of a bum that little fucker really is.
Deadprez: Daryl now reaches for both of Donovan’s wrists and begins twisting them, methodically working his plan as he forces both himself and Donovan back to their feet, focusing on manipulating Duke’s wrists while keeping control in this technical exchange!
Gavin Kirkland: You can begin to feel the pace of this match. It started slow and strategic which only means both men have similar plans in mind against one another. Duke is trying to use his manhandling force to pull himself out of the predictable, but Daryl sticks to him like glue and refuses to let him escape easily!
Eve: Here comes Donovan, rolling to the side and arching backward with his shoulders on the mat and toes pushing off the canvas. He frees his wrist and performs a handstand, flipping back to his feet and quickly twisting through one hold after another!
Deadprez: Donovan tries to snatch the head of Daryl Kinkade- Oop, no! Duke switches out fast and drops low for a beautiful drop toe hold that takes Donovan down to the mat, and Duke immediately transitions into a grounded headlock! WOW! Beautiful technical sequence!
Gavin Kirkland: The entire Showdown crowd might hate the man that he is, but you can’t realistically deny how great he is when it comes to his in-ring ability, and Donovan is showing it clearly through his mastery right now!
Eve: That’s a masterclass from Donovan Duke right there. Genius of technical wrestling pulling it off against the all-rounder Daryl Kinkade who needs to come up with a better plan to counter this one!
Veena Adams: Donovan Duke and “genius” in the same sentence really makes me want to kill myself. It’s a disgusting compliment to give to this self-absorbed, god-complex little guy.
Deadprez: Daryl is seen sitting back here, while Silas Mason watches things unfold with proud appreciation, knowing his man has a solid counter plan against Daryl’s game! Kinkade is trying to stretch and crack the arm open, but Donovan is applying pressure into his strong hold, forcing Daryl to resist against his own willpower!
Gavin Kirkland: But let’s not count out Daryl just yet! With a sudden pull, Daryl Kinkade twists the arm that was wrapped around his neck and turns it into a wristlock from behind, pressing Donovan back down to the mat and leaving Mason shocked at the quickness Daryl just displayed! Never doubt the agility this man possesses!
Eve: This has been a really fun technical exchange to watch here, but the fun comes to a sudden end as Donovan Duke uses both feet to press against the mat, elevating himself from the lower ground up to both feet as Duke finishes by rolling backward through the arm of Daryl Kinkade, twisting himself out of the hold, grabbing one of Daryl’s arms, and quickly going for his head to throw him down with a snapmare!
Deadprez: But that one is caught by surprise as Daryl suddenly rolls from the ground instead of staying seated, turning back toward Donovan, who’s still raising his eyes toward his opponent… AND GETS CAUGHT WITH A JUMPING REVERSE STO! Daryl fires himself straight toward Donovan Duke and plants his face into the mat!
Eve: Daryl pushes Donovan over, and a hook to the leg!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Eve: TWO! Donovan Duke is able to kick out!
Gavin Kirkland: However, coming into this season, Daryl is taking every opportunity he sees in front of him, and Donovan Duke is one of them! He quickly snatches Donovan’s head off the mat and applies the strangling hold once again, locking in a tight side headlock and trying to suffocate Donovan right after the pin attempt was broken!
Deadprez: Daryl is clearly making a quick move here, knowing that Donovan, once he picks up the pace, it can become much trickier to deal with!
Veena Adams: I can respect what Daryl Kinkade has done for himself, he’s struggled and turned things around but Donovan was annoying back then and is just as annoying now, even after becoming World Champion. And he wants to cry about people not respecting him? He should take a look in the mirror and speak for himself for once!
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan Duke is proceeding with a plan to turn the tide yet again, reaching up and grabbing the ear of Daryl Kinkade from underneath, trying to lift him into position for a Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex with both arms hooked over one another!
Eve: Kinkade is able to pull himself out of the predictable setup, slipping free with both hands flying off Donovan Duke’s grip and landing right behind him. Kinkade quickly shoves Donovan toward the ropes and IMMEDIATELY SWINGS FOR THE BOW DOWN TO THE KINK, CAPITALIZING THE MOMENT THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF!!!!!!!
Deadprez: WOAH! SWINGING BACK ELBOW AIMED AT DONOVAN DUKE BUT THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION IS ABLE TO AVOID IT JUST IN TIME, DUCKING UNDER AND FORCING DARYL TO STUMBLE TOWARD THE ROPES, NEARLY FALLING!
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan quickly picks up the pace, and this is going to be trouble as he flips over the back of Daryl Kinkade and rolls out backward with precision and speed!… INTO THE 21 PLEX ON DARYL KINKADE BY DONOVAN DUKE!!!!!!!
Eve: KINKADE LANDS ON HIS FEET!!!! Duke turns back around and closes the gap with a burst of running momentum, but Daryl quickly counters his speed with a sharp European uppercut that connects flush!
Deadprez: Duke stumbles into the ropes… and rebounds as he attempts to catch Daryl off the ricochet, but Daryl evades it beautifully, slipping underneath the arm and bouncing off the ropes himself in stylish fashion!… HANDSPRING ROUNDHOUSE KICK BLASTS DONOVAN IN HIS FACE!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Kinkade brought down the storm with high precision and flair, and now Donovan is at a disadvantage after taking a stiff right boot directly to the face!
Veena Adams: Yeah, look at Silas’ face. He’s scared shitless. He knows that Silas’ World came crashing down hard right after Pain for Pride ended. Nobody on this roster likes him, and I’m at the top while his precious Donny can go cope and screw himself over.
Eve: Silas watches on with growing concern. Kinkade grabs a handful of Donovan’s tights from behind and pulls him in slowly before slipping his head underneath the arm and lifting him up, adding a spin to increase the pressure and impact through the momentum!… LIFTING REVERSE DDT PLANTS HIM!!!!!! KINKADE HOOKS THE LEG!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Eve: TWO AGAIN! Kinkade is doing his best to hold his ground, but the same can be said for Donovan Duke, who’s doing everything he can to halt his opponent’s path to glory. Duke rolls to the outside of the ring after that DDT takes its toll, trying to recover from the impact.
Gavin Kirkland: Kinkade is seen slowly rising to his feet as the crowd begins clapping in support, feeling the momentum build. Daryl feels the moment running through his veins and heads to the ropes, gaining speed, and here he goes… SASUKE SPECIAL TO THE OUTSIDE WIPES OUT DONOVAN DUKE!
Deadprez: BUT LANDED ON HIS FEET! Donovan Duke moves toward the apron to avoid the diving attack, stepping out of harm’s way just in time!
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl lands on his feet, trying to regain his footing and reapproach but Donovan catches him in a tight grasp… BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX DRIVES KINKADE STRAIGHT INTO THE CONCRETE FLOOR!!!! PLANTS HIM PERFECTLY!!!!
Eve: That’s not a great position for the King of Elite to be in, and now Donovan is continuing the punishment, picking him up and tossing him back into the ring. Duke quickly climbs to the top while Daryl is still reeling on the mat, clutching his back in pain. Duke steadies himself and steps down from the top!… CARTWHEEL DDT CONNECTS WITH DARYL KINKADE!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: It goes to show that no matter how much you want to downplay Donovan Duke’s in-ring ability, he can still pull off moves like this to prove exactly why he earned the Answers World Championship when he cashed in on Bronson Daniels.
Veena Adams: Absolutely not the best. I can name 20 to 30 Elitists who are better than this one-hit wonder and yes, my name is on that list too.
Deadprez: And now, he’s digging deeper into his arsenal right after that cartwheel DDT, punishing Daryl Kinkade with clubbing blows to the back of his head, as if he’s trying to insult and disrespect Kinkade with every strike!
Eve: Those relentless shots from Donovan Duke, connecting to the back of Kinkade’s head with his forearm, are telling us something that’s coming deep from the bottom of his heart toward Daryl Kinkade right now. Donovan Duke is translating his true emotions into action!
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan pauses his assault for a moment, while Kinkade is seen clutching the back of his head in pain, crawling away toward the corner in an attempt to recover.
Eve: But there’s no rest for the prey in this web as Duke tracks exactly where his opponent goes and delivers a punishing stomp to Daryl Kinkade in the corner while he’s already down!
Veena Adams: He’s always acting tough when someone’s at a disadvantage. He’s a coward, and he doesn’t even deserve a chance to take a shot at my championship but I guess I’ll beat him again and embarrass Silas World like I’ve already done multiple times.
Deadprez: Donovan Duke drags Kinkade up from the ground and throws a hard right hand across his jaw, further stunning him while he’s already trapped in the corner with no defense against the onslaught!
Eve: Devious & Debonair now steps back to realign and build some momentum as he’s already in control… AND HERE COMES DONOVAN RUNNING IN, SWINGING WIDE WITH A MASSIVE CLOTHESLINE IN THE CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: Seems like things are turning around here, as Kinkade back body drops Donovan right onto his shoulder and leaves him slumped in the corner with a handful of the back of his head as Kinkade pushes Donovan’s face down and presses it against the turnbuckles, trapping him there with force and frustration!… CHEEKY NANDOS KICK STRIKES DONOVAN IN HIS FACE!!!!!!!!
Eve: What a way to fight back against his opponent! Kinkade has Donovan tangled up on the apron with that suffocating offense he landed with the kick! Kinkade now climbs up to the second rope and begins hooking the arms of Donovan Duke while both men are standing on that precarious ledge!
Gavin Kirkland: This is going to be a dangerous risk for either man to take!….
Deadprez: OH MY GOD!-
Gavin Kirkland: SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX FROM THE SECOND ROPE DRIVING DONOVAN HARD TO THE CANVAS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Kinkade coming up with a big-time move here, and Donovan is feeling it hard from the driving impact Kinkade just delivered off the top! Kinkade is crawling back to his feet quickly, while Donovan is still struggling to get up!
Eve: Donovan is clearly hurt from that second rope Dragon Suplex! Kinkade’s back on the second rope and he’s coming down fast!- DKOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPRINGBOARD CUTTER!!!!!! HE GOT HIM!!!!! DARYL GOES FOR A PIN!!!!! FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Eve: ALMOST!!!!! DONOVAN DUKE KICKS OUT AT TWO!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: We all truly thought that the Springboard Cutter was going to seal the deal for Daryl Kinkade, giving him a massive win in this main event but it wasn’t enough to conquer the former World Champion!
Deadprez: Donovan is making one small step that’s leading into a huge sequence, and Daryl just pulled it off, nearly wiping him off the page completely!
Veena Adams: I wish it hadn’t been that close. If Daryl Kinkade had put him in the hospital tonight, it would’ve done me a huge favor, I wouldn’t have to waste my money on flights to Shanghai just to fight someone like “Donovan Duke” of the world.
Eve: Daryl Kinkade is getting back to his feet quickly after the failed attempt at putting Donovan Duke away, and now he’s heading toward the corner, setting his sights on Duke as he tries to get back up!
Gavin Kirkland: He might not see this one coming as Daryl Kinkade is stalking from behind, looking to pull something big out of his playbook!…. KINKADE GOES FOR THE BOW DOWN TO THE KINK!!!!!!!
Deadprez: WOAH! THAT WAS CLOSE!
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan Duke was able to find his instinct and avoid the blow that was coming straight for the back of his head with high impact!
Eve: Duke gets to his feet and tries to spin back for the Force of Will, but Kinkade counters it, hooking both arms quickly for another Dragon Suplex but Donovan slips an arm free and connects with a stiff back elbow to Kinkade’s face!
Gavin Kirkland: Kinkade is reeling from the elbow that struck him square in the face, giving Donovan a brief opening to take his time, run toward the ropes, and come charging back-
Eve: AND A RUNNING BACKFLIP STOPS DONOVAN DUKE IN HIS TRACKS… FOLLOWED UP WITH A STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI RIGHT AFTER! THE BACKFLIP THROWS HIM OFF JUST LONG ENOUGH FOR KINKADE TO CAPITALIZE, CATCHING HIM PERFECTLY WITH THE KICK! KINKADE MADE IT COUNT!
Deadprez: What a burst of speed just shown there that it completely stunned Donovan Duke after that kick caught him off guard out of nowhere! Kinkade’s not going to waste any more time; he’s seizing the opportunity in this big moment and lifts Donovan Duke, carrying him right on his shoulder!- FOR THE MISERY LOVES COMPANY!
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan was lucky to still have a hold of himself after that Enzuigiri kick caught him off guard as he managed to counter the Lifting Butterfly Twisting Cutter into an armdrag, sending Kinkade rolling away to his side on the mat!
Eve: Kinkade crawls back to his feet, still desperate, and swings again going for a third attempt at Bow Down to the Kink on Donovan Duke but Duke avoids it, spins Kinkade around toward the corner, and rolls him out of the wayyyyyyy- ROLLING CHAOS THEORY!!!!!!!!!! DONOVAN DRIVES KINKADE TO THE GROUND AND BRIDGES HIM INTO A COVER QUICKLY!!!!!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Eve: AND THAT WASN’T ENOUGH TO TAKE OUT DARYL KINKADE EITHER, AS DARYL TANKS THE DAMAGE AND POWERS OUT AT TWO!
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan Duke has finally managed to power over Daryl Kinkade just now, and Daryl is seen rolling away near the apron after the Chaos Theory nearly wrote him off!
Deadprez: Duke is quickly crawling back to his feet and spots Daryl trying to recover on the apron and now he charges toward him, looking to spear him right off the edge!
Eve: BLOCKED! A knee lifts up just in time, colliding with Duke’s head and stopping his momentum. Kinkade quickly uses one arm to snatch him over the top rope and down onto the apron!
Gavin Kirkland: Now both men are in a dangerous spot to be in, and Kinkade throws a sharp chop across Duke’s chest to ignite the tension between the two in this high-risk territory! Duke is reeling for a moment, allowing Kinkade to quickly hook him from underneath, and now he’s trying to lift him off the ground with a suplex, looking to send Donovan down hard onto the apron’s unforgiving surface!
Deadprez: Donovan is able to slip through the suplex hold and lands behind Kinkade, quickly trying to push him toward the ring post-
Eve: AND DARYL USES THE MOMENTUM TO HIS ADVANTAGE, LAUNCHING HIMSELF UP TO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE, FLYING OFF THE HANDLE, GOING FOR THE DKO ON THE APRON TO DONOVAN DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN DUKE SPRINGS BACK JUST SLIGHTLY, CAUSING DARYL TO LAND ON HIS FEET ON THE APRON. DONOVAN QUICKLY HOOKS HIM FROM BEHIND, WITH DARYL’S BACK ARCHING OVER IN RESPONSE- OH NO!-
Eve: OH MY GOD!!!!!! SNAP VERTEBREAKER ON THE APRON!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: GOOD LORD!!!!!
Veena Adams: Did he just kill him?
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S GOING TO BE A HELLISH NECK PAIN FOR DARYL KINKADE TO DEAL WITH AFTER THAT VERTEBREAKER PLANTS HIM HARD ON THE EDGE OF THE APRON! JUST LIKE THAT!
Deadprez: IS DARYL EVEN OKAY? IS HE EVEN GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE AFTER THIS?!
Veena Adams: He should be fine. I’ve seen this man nearly die going up against Cameron, Donovan Duke isn’t all that.
Eve: Whether that’s the case or not, Daryl’s health is no concern to Donovan Duke right now. Donovan rolls off the apron and drags Kinkade up before tossing him back into the ring. Kinkade can’t even stand properly on his own feet!
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan is taking full advantage, launching himself into position when he sees the perfect opening! Donovan now stands tall, flying high and in total control!…. VELVET RODEOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 450 SPLASH CONNECTS!!!!!!!!!!!! DONOVAN ROLLS KINKADE OVER FOR A COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!-
Gavin Kirkland: AND THAT’S NOT ENOUGH!!!!!!! DARYL KINKADE POWERS OUT AT TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: My, my…. this has been absolutely chaotic to watch unfold! What a main event this has been, to the point that I even questioned myself if this was worthy of taking place on Showdown!
Veena Adams: This has been really fun, I’ll admit but I still don’t like Donny, and the entire Silas World is going to pay for what they did to Showdown last season.
Eve: Donovan Duke is known for knowing exactly how to bring things to an end. Daryl Kinkade’s back is still in serious pain right now, and Donovan Duke is seizing that advantage, capitalizing quickly as he lifts Kinkade off the ground while he’s still reeling from all the pressure… AND NOW DONOVAN DUKE SETS HIM UP FOR RUIN AND DEMISE!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: The double underhook was in place as Donovan was trying to lift him up for that Tiger Driver finisher but Daryl Kinkade was able to shift his weight and kick his legs, throwing off the balance and preventing the lift!
Deadprez: Donovan stumbles slightly, losing his positioning, allowing Kinkade to land in front of him. Kinkade is still dealing with that intense back pain, carrying it like a chip on his shoulder, BUT DONOVAN QUICKLY COUNTERS AGAIN AND SWINGS FOR THE OLE RELIABLE!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AND WHAT A FLIP UNDERNEATH THE ARM OF DONOVAN DUKE AS KINKADE COUNTERS THE SWING WITH A SPRINGBACK TWIST, TURNING DUKE AROUND WITH HIS HEAD TUCKED UNDERNEATH! KINKADE LIFTS HIM UP HIGH… LIGER BOMB PLANTS DONOVAN DUKE TO THE GROUND!!!!!!!
Eve: BUT THAT’S NOT ALL FROM DARYL KINKADE TO SECURE THINGS, HE PUSHES DONOVAN OFF HIS POSITION AND FORCES HIM DOWN TO HIS KNEES! KINKADE FOLLOWS UP, GETTING TO HIS FEET AND PULLING DONOVAN INTO POSITION… AND FLIPS HIM INSIDE OUT… INTO THE PUMPHANDLE PILEDRIVER THAT SPIKES DONOVAN!!!!!!!!!
Veena Adams: Great!
Gavin Kirkland: HAIL TO THE VICTOR DROPS DONOVAN DUKE STRAIGHT INTO THE MAT, FOLLOWING THE LIGER BOMB!!!!!!!!! KINKADE FLIPS DONOVAN OVER INTO THE COVER!!!!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!-
Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN LIFTS HIS SHOULDER OFF THE MAT AT TWO! HE’S STILL IN THE THICK OF THIS MATCH, AND DARYL KINKADE’S BACK IS IN PAIN AFTER PUSHING THROUGH IT ALL TO MAKE IT COUNT!
Eve: Close call after close call, but Donovan Duke always finds a way out of it to make an escape and save himself from danger! This main event has been incredibly intense, but at the same time, it’s been extremely engaging to watch!
Veena Adams: And nothing is going to be more satisfying than watching Silas World suffer another setback when Donovan Duke fails to make the cut before even getting a slice at MY Answers World Championship!
Gavin Kirkland: Kinkade pushes through back to his feet after Hail to the Victor landed precisely on the top of Donovan Duke’s head, and right now, Duke is stuck in a rough, unconscious state!
Deadprez: Silas watches on in worry as Kinkade rises, slowly dragging Donovan back to his feet… and double hooks the arms again! Donovan has nowhere to run, AND DARYL IS LOOKING TO FINISH THIS ONE OFF CLEAN WITH MISERY LOVES COMPANY!
Eve: The arms of Donovan Duke were just grazing Daryl’s legs while Daryl was too focused on taking Duke down, only to get caught slipping! Donovan shoves him stumbling to the ground and quickly returns to his feet with a hold as he’s grabbing one of his legs… TO APPLY THE ANKLE LOCK!!!! THE ANKLE LOCK IS LOCKED IN TIGHT AND DARYL IS TRAPPED IN A VICE IMMEDIATELY!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DARYL IS SUDDENLY FEELING THE TOLL FROM THE ANKLE LOCK DONOVAN DUKE APPLIED, BUT HE’S QUICK WITH THE ESCAPE, ROLLING SWIFTLY AND SHAKING HIMSELF FREE, SENDING DONOVAN SLIPPING OUT OF HIS GRASP BEFORE HE CAN DISH OUT ANY FURTHER ANKLE LOCK PUNISHMENT!
Deadprez: DUKE COULDN’T GET ALL OF IT, AND THE HOLD HAS LOOSENED BEFORE HE COULD DO ANY FURTHER DAMAGE. DARYL GETS BACK TO HIS FEET AND ROLLS THROUGH AT THE SAME TIME!
Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN TURNS AROUND, AND DARYL QUICKLY DRIVES A KICK TO THE GUT YET AGAIN, TRYING TO LIFT DONOVAN UP FOR MISERY LOVES COMPANY! HE’S MADE COUNTLESS ATTEMPTS, AND HE JUST MIGHT LAND IT THIS TIME!
Eve: KINKADE COULD’VE TIMED IT WELL, BUT DONOVAN WAS STILL ABLE TO SLIP THROUGH AND SNEAK BEHIND DARYL KINKADE, TURNING HIM OVER AND SCOOPING HIM UP IN A SUDDEN MOTION, LOOKING TO SPIN DARYL OUT AND GO FOR THE CHANGE OF HEART!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: AND A FRONT FLIP OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE SPRING MOTION THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO TRANSITION INTO THE SIDEWALK SLAM CATCHES DONOVAN DUKE COMPLETELY OFF GUARD- BOW DOWN TO THE KINK!!!!!!! A FRONT-FACING SWINGING BACK ELBOW TURNS DONOVAN INSIDE OUT!!!!!!
Veena Adams: Good.
Deadprez: THAT ONE FINALLY LANDS FLUSH ON DONOVAN DUKE!!! HE JUST GOT ROCKED IN THE FACE AND HAS NOWHERE TO GO NOW! HE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW WHERE HE IS ANYMORE, AND DARYL IS ABOUT TO FIND HIS ENDING FOR HIM! HOOKING THE ARMS AND LINING HIM UP!… MISERY LOVE COMPANYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DONOVAN IS OUT COLD AND DARYL GOES FOR A COVER-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT THERE’S NO REFEREE- WAIT WHAT???? NO REFEREE????
Eve: The referee was busy dealing with someone at the moment… WAIT! HARPER LEE??? WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE????
Veena Adams: This fucking parasite, I swear to GOD!
Deadprez: HARPER LEE IS TRYING TO INTERFERE IN THIS MATCH, AND THE REFEREE HAS TO STOP HER FROM DOING SO! DARYL KINKADE JUST TURNED AROUND, SEEING WHAT’S GOING ON, AND HE’S TRYING TO CALL THE REFEREE BACK-
Gavin Kirkland: OH NO!!!!
Veena Adams: No…..
Eve: AND JUST LIKE THAT, IT OPENS A CHANCE FOR SILAS MASON TO SLIDE INTO THE RING AND DELIVER A LOW BLOW TO DARYL KINKADE FROM BEHIND WHILE HE WAS DISTRACTED BY THE COMMOTION ON THE OUTSIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: SILAS QUICKLY ROLLS BACK OUT OF THE RING, AND DONOVAN HAS BECOME UNAWARE OF WHAT JUST HAPPENED!
Deadprez: HIS HEAD IS STILL HURTING, BUT HE’S STILL ABLE TO CAPITALIZE ON THE OPPORTUNITY! PICKING KINKADE UP RIGHT AFTER THE LOW BLOW CONNECTS AND LIFTING HIM QUICKLY!…. RUIN AND DEMISE SPIKES DARYL KINKADE!!!! TIGER DRIVER ’98!!!!! COVER!!!!
Veena Adams: ….
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING DING DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!…. DONOVAN DUKE!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: What an unceremonious ending to this main event for Daryl Kinkade, and with some teamwork efforts if you can even call it that, Silas World has managed to help out Donovan Duke in picking up this victory, earning some much-needed momentum heading into Midsummer Massacre against Veena Adams!
Veena Adams: This is awful to watch. Ugh.
(‘Enemy’ by From Ashes to New can be heard playing in the background as Silas Mason enters the ring to help Donovan up, raising his hand for him and brushing the referee off. Donovan holds his head, raises his arm, and begins to laugh a little as well. Meanwhile, Harper Lee crosses her arms, watching everything unfold and smiling about it too.)
Gavin Kirkland: Surely, Harper Lee is quite delighted with what she has done, believing it was all for the greater good that benefits Silas World itself. Anyway-
(WHACK!!!!)
Gavin Kirkland: OH?!??
Deadprez: What the hell?!
Eve: SOMEONE JUST CRACKED THE SKULL OF HARPER LEE FROM BEHIND AND IS DRAGGING HER OFF AFTER COMPLETELY BLINDSIDING HER!… THAT’S PANDORA PAISLEY AND SHE’S UNLEASHING ABSOLUTE HELL RIGHT NOW! SILAS QUICKLY MOVES HIMSELF TO THE OUTSIDE TO DEESCALATE THE SITUATION!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT LITTLE DOES HE KNOW THAT IT OPENS THE PATH FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO ENTER THE RING AND SHE’S NOT HESITATING ONE BIT AND QUICKLY TAKING DONOVAN DUKE DOWN FROM BEHIND! THAT’S RIGHT, YOU HEARD ME CORRECTLY! VEENA ADAMS IS IN THE RING NOW!
Deadprez: SHE’S THROWING HANDS WITH DONOVAN DUKE THE MOMENT SHE GETS THE CHANCE TO LAY HER FINGERS ON HIM!
Eve: HARPER LEE AND PANDORA PAISLEY ARE GOING RIGHT AT IT, TAKING THE FIGHT UP THE RAMP WITH SILAS MASON FOLLOWING THE TWO WOMEN AND TRYING TO MAKE THEM STOP FIGHTING EACH OTHER AND CALL IN SECURITY!
Gavin Kirkland: HERE COMES DARYL KINKADE, WHO HAS JUST REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS FROM THE MATCH ITSELF AND QUICKLY BLINDSIDES SILAS MASON RIGHT AWAY AS HE’S TRYING TO DEESCALATE THE SITUATION ONE-ON-ONE BUT DARYL IS MAKING IT PERSONAL NOW, TAKING THAT BALD FREAK TO THE BACK FOR WHAT SILAS MASON HAS COST HIM!
Deadprez: LEE AND PAISLEY ARE GOING AT EACH OTHER WITH LEE THROWING HANDS AND PAISLEY FIRING BACK WITH ONE OF HER OWN!
Eve: THINGS ARE ESCALATING INTO AN ALL-OUT BRAWL BETWEEN THESE TWO WOMEN ON THE RAMP! THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION AND THE CHALLENGER ARE TRADING BLOWS AND TAKING THIS TO ANOTHER LEVEL AS IT’S GOTTEN DEEPLY PERSONAL NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: VEENA ADAMS HAS STEPPED BACK AND IS EYEING HER NEXT MOVE CAREFULLY. DONOVAN DUKE HAS TAKEN A BEATING AND IS CLEARLY WORN DOWN!
Deadprez: VEENA IS MAKING SURE HE PAYS THE PRICE FOR IT FAST… MOVING OUT OF HER WAY FOR THE GO TO GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: FORCE OF WILL!!!!!!!!!!!! SPINNING BACK FIST CAUGHT HER AND ABSOLUTELY KNOCKED HER OUT!!!!! DONOVAN PUT EVERYTHING HE HAD BEHIND THAT SPINNING BACK FIST, AND IT ABSOLUTELY SHUT HER DOWN ON THE SPOT!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN IS NOW DRAGGING THE ANSWER WORLD CHAMPION FROM UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE AND PLACING HER RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE TITLE. SEEMS LIKE HE’S NOT DONE WITH THE PUNISHMENT JUST YET!
Deadprez: AND NOW HE PICKS HER UP FROM THE GROUND AND POSITIONS HER PERFECTLY NEAR THE ANSWER WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BELT!… RUIN AND DEMISE ON THE CHAMPIONSHIP MAIN PLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: VEENA ADAMS HAS BEEN LAID OUT COMPLETELY!!!!!!
(Donovan Duke drags the challenger from beneath her hair after planting her on the mat with the Tiger Driver ‘98. ‘Enemy’ by From Ashes to New blares once again as Donovan Duke stands tall over the laid-out Veena Adams, raising the championship high with arrogant pride.)
Donovan Duke: (Off-Mic) Rent is due, bitch.
(He throws the championship back onto the ground, landing it across Veena’s back while she’s still down, and continues to celebrate arrogantly amidst overwhelming boos from the crowd and Showdown fades.)
(EAW Logo buzzes.)
