(EAW Intro plays…)
(RECAP–The recap replays all the Showdown action from Rome, Italy. In the opening contest, Adam Lucas and Jake Smith defeat Jon Kelton and Donovan Duke when Kelton and Duke could not get along. The hostility continued backstage when Donovan and Jon were close to fighting before being stopped by Chris Elite, who then offered both Jon and Donovan spots on Showdown’s Brand Warfare team. Then the Xander Payne “Best in the World” Open Challenge continues as Rome’s Father Luciano Messi is defeated by Xander Payne. Then Alex Myers and Abel Atami had a meeting in the ring that led to Alex being attacked and beaten by Atami and Antonne Prudence. The next match has the dangerous Lexi defeating Lucas Johnson. After the match, Lexi talks to Heidi and Hawk wanting a shot at the Unified Tag Titles, even saying that the next person who walked into Hawk’s Office would be her partner… and that happened to be Ryan Wilson and they are now the Challengers for the Unified Tag Titles at Dead Men Tell No Tales. Then Jack Ripley defeats Komatsu Ogawa. Afterwards, Harley Lewis comes to the ring and him and Ogawa seem to have developed an alliance of some sort. Then Roberto De La Rosa comes to the ring to issue Veena Adams a challenge. But Veena doesn’t have time for him and Roberto is attacked by her secret weapon…EAW Hardcore Champion, Charlie Marr. Then Answers World Champion, Impact defeats New Breed Champion Alex Myers. After that match, Impact was attacked from behind by Jack Ripley who issued a challenge for the Answers World Championship at Territorial Invasion. Next, Kassidy Heart has some words for Andrea Valentine before her title match. Finally, in the main event, Harper Lee successfully defends the Universal Women’s Championship against Andrea Valentine after being attacked by Serena Bennett. After the match, Serena completely brutalizes Andrea leaving a graphic scene as the EMTs come to the ring to take care of a critically injured Andrea as the recap ends…)
(“Brick Wall” by A Day to Remember plays throughout the arena while the camera pans across the loud and sold out crowd on their feet at the Nikos Galis Olympic Indoor Hall in Athens, Greece for the action that the Blue Brand provides. The camera takes its time going throughout the arena showing all the loyal and devoted EAW fans in attendance that are filling up the sold out arena holding up their many many signs and wearing the shirts and other merchandise of the many EAW Elitists before settling down at ringside where Eve, Deadprez, and Gavin Kirkland are sitting at the commentary table ready to call all the amazing Showdown action.)
Deadprez: We are on the road to Dead Men Tell No Tales and Territorial Invasion. We are coming to you live from the Nikos Galis Olympic Indoor Hall in the legendary Athens, Greece. Allow me to welcome everybody to SATURDAY! NIGHT! SHOWDOWN! As always I am Deadprez and alongside Gavin Kirkland and Eve, we are ready to spend Saturday night calling all the great Showdown action!
Gavin Kirkland: This is a perfect combination here! WE WRESTLE here on Showdown and we are in the home of the first Olympic Games where wrestling was one of the events. It’s a perfect fit like tonight’s card. We have a debut here tonight with Hunnid Honcho making his Showdown debut against Harley Lewis. We also have Xander Payne back with Week 3 of the Best of the World Challenge. Which one of the Greek Wrestling Legacies will step up to the plate and challenge him.
Eve: We also have a big match where Number One Contenders battle. New Breed Championship Contender Abel Atami with Antonne Prudence in his corner taking on National Elite Championship Contender Jon Kelton with Londyn Zelaya in his corner. Then we have Challengers for the Unified Tag Team Championships in action as the interesting combination of Ryan Wilson and Lexi taking on the unique duo of Lila Vandran and Mary S. Atlas.
Deadprez: This is the first opportunity to see how well the future challengers of the Unified Tag Team Titles can work together. That would be either very good or very bad for them. We can’t forget that we have Captain of the Showdown 5 Person Team Chris Elite taking on Holly Arrow in what will be an amazing match. Finally, in our main event, The Mauler is back in Showdown Action. We have Kassidy Heart competing in her first Showdown match of the season where she faces off against Mr. Cash in the Vault, Jake Smith. This could very easily be an explosive match. But right now, let’s head up to the ring to the lovely Gina Romano is ready to start off our Showdown action.
(“M3tamorphosis” plays through the arena, signaling the impending arrival of the current Answers World champion, Impact! The Greek crowd aren’t all-too receptive, mostly boos and jeers ringing out through the Nikos Galis Indoor Hall. It’s a cruel reception, but Impact doesn’t look all-too bothered as he appears following some brief suspense. Cameras cut from him on the entrance stage, to the commentary booth. Deadprez, Gavin Kirkland and Eve are all situated on-hand to cover tonight’s must-see festivities. )
Gavin Kirkland: Does a better way to kickstart Showdown exist, than with the reigning Answers World champion’s music hitting through the speakers?
Deadprez: Let’s cover why this is happening tonight, by looking at what happened last week. Impact and Alex Myers went to war in a brilliant champion vs. champion contest. In the end it’d be that man standing on the entrance ramp who won. But post-match shenanigans would cast over just how good that match was. While Alex Myers was dealing with Abel Atami, the opportunity was presented for Jack Ripley to slide into the ring, catching a distracted Impact with a skull-shattering superkick! Dropping him on.. Well, Impact!
Eve: It would have been a good message sent for Jack to leave things there. But he hammered home his intentions seconds after, grabbing a microphone and challenging the champion to a match for Territorial Invasion! Jack, as we all know, is a former Answers World champion. So that should be an excellent contest, I’m unsure who’ll come out on top! But I think it’s fair to say we’re all operating under the assumption that tonight? Impact is keen to respond to what went down last week, and look! He wasted no time getting into the ring.
( Eve’s assessment was fair. Impact didn’t pause to pose or interact with the fans. Instead he simply whisked down the entrance ramp, walked up the steel steps and got into the ring. Gesturing for a microphone from ringside, Impact’s request is quickly obliged. He awaits for the European crowd to settle, bringing the microphone before his lips moments afterwards. )
Impact: Since winning at Pain for Pride, winning the Answers World Championship, I have had a lot to consider. When you have been in this sport for as long as I have, your mind cannot shut down and you’re always strategizing, thinking about that next step. I am obsessed with this business and my accolades prove that. You people can boo me, that’s your right, and you may have other wrestlers you favor over me. But one thing that cannot be denied is over the past fifteen years? I have been a constant. Constantly evolving, constantly winning. In the modern day you may not like me, may not value me all too high. But this company’s success, the success of the industry? I have played a monumental part in ensuring that both have happened.
Impact: The World and the World Heavyweight Championships both have incredible lineages and the two individuals holding them are two of the best in the sport. But something that is undeniable is that the championship that’s sitting on my shoulder? It is the most prestigious, the most important and integral one to this company. I look at its history and this re-confirms what I already know. Icons like Mr. Dedede, Scott Diamond, Jamie O’Hara have all held this championship. More recently, fierce competitors like Kassidy Heart and TLA. Then there’s me, I’ve held this belt so many times I often forget. But what I do know is you look at some of the most memorable moments in this sports history, some of the best bouts, the most fierce wars. This championship? Is often right in the middle of the picture.
Impact: But if you’ll stop and pause, stop and notice that perhaps I’m missing one more name to go along with those icons. The cherry to place on top of the ice cream scoop. That name, that man is something I haven’t forgotten. I simply don’t believe he belongs, he is on the level of those names, the Kassidys and the TLAs of the world. Jack Ripley. Now Jack came out here last week and made a point. Kicked me in the back of the head, left me seeing stars. I watched the footage back and I heard what he had to say. It was interesting, but let’s be honest. What has Jack actually done recently, to warrant a shot at the most prestigious prize in the game?
Impact: Don’t get me wrong now, once upon a time Jack Ripley was great. But then he lost against Kassidy Heart, around eighteen or-so months ago. Lost to her, lost this Answers World Championship along with it. Since then? He’s been a shell of his former self, let’s not deny it. He picked up a couple of wins here-and-there. Against Theron Nikolas, against Amir Yusuf. But let’s keep it real, he’s hardly breaking barriers and making headlines. Jack Ripley does not belong in the same stratosphere as me, the same bubble. I see Kassidy Heart facing Andrea Valentine at Pain for Pride a few months back. She, TLA and I made up three-fourths of that night’s main and co-main event. Jack Ripley? Was my undercard, was the man they used to fill out the bottom rungs of the card before my title match, my victory.
Impact: Jack Ripley’s career since losing the Answers World Championship has been lined with failure upon failure, this is not subjective, but cold-stone facts. The High Rollerz reformed to shoot for the Tag Team Championships and failed miserably. He had a shot to go up against Kassidy Heart and gain a modicum of revenge and failed miserably, now he thinks he’s warranted, he’s good enough to attack me from behind and demand a chance? I don’t know about that. I don’t know if he has the sauce, as I said. This championship is the most prestigious one in the history of this company, you don’t just get to waltz in, attack a man from behind and suddenly you’re first in line for a shot.
( “Blue World” by Mac Miller hits through the speakers. We know who this is! The Greek crowd perhaps are a touch more enthusiastic in relation to Jack Ripley’s arrival. But it’s really not too different from the negative response we heard minutes ago. Are the Greek people unhappy? Or are these two men just not very well-liked? Jack is now on the entrance stage, but we don’t get all-too much of a look at the man as cameras cut to the commentary booth again. )
Eve: I’m glad that somebody came out, with all respect to Impact. Jack couldn’t take that sitting down and it’s good to see him show some backbone and stop Impact in his tracks! Impact himself looks furious that he’s been interrupted tonight.
Deadprez: Well in spite of what Impact claims, Jack has achieved a lot in recent times, most recently a victory last week against tough competition in Ogawa! Is Jack at the top of the totem pole in terms of those deserving of a title shot? Who’s to say. But he can’t be far behind! Former Answers World champion as was pointed out, but he’s achieved an abundance of accolades aside from that, Jack is one of the more recognizable names in the company today!
Gavin Kirkland: Jack Ripley has a microphone in hand. I think he was expecting Impact to come on out here and discredit him as soon as he could! We’re about to get fireworks, folks! The people of Greece are being treated right off the bat for tonight’s show.
( Jack Ripley walks down the ramp and gets into the ring. Y’all knows the vibes, tension, knife. Impact is watching a potential future opponent like a hawk, bouncing on the balls of his feet, waiting to pounce at a moment’s notice. Jack Ripley doesn’t seem interested in this. He waits for his music to die down and begins to respond to Impact’s words. )
Jack Ripley: I’d love to come out here and prove you wrong. But, for the most part you’re right with what you’re saying. I haven’t been that same man I was, when I held the Answers World Championship, for quite some time. I’ve taken my fair share of losses, most recently to Kassidy as you pointed out. And I didn’t win the Tag Team Championships, either. I had my shot, The High Rollerz reformed and I came up short. Yeah, the last few months have been a little bumpy but if there’s one thing I know? Is that I can beat you, I can beat you and win back the one championship that oversaw a golden age in my career.
Jack Ripley: You are underselling my abilities, Impact. Maybe that championship gives you a false sense of security. I know you have been in this position a lot, but let’s not forget. To become a ten-time champion of the world? You have to lose nine times. Me? Yeah, I’ve probably lost nine times in this year alone. We both know things haven’t been going swimmingly for me lately. But there was a point where I? Held the most important, the most prestigious championship there was to hold. The Answers World Championship, as you pointed out. I beat Jamie O’Hara, I survived the Extreme Elimination Chamber. Go ahead and clown me, point out The High Rollerz failed run. Point out how I lost to Kassidy.
Jack Ripley: But there isn’t a single soul in this building that can deny that at one point I was the best and most dangerous athlete this promotion had ever seen. My win, my victory inside of that chamber is as stone-cold, as factual as all of yours, Impact. But you see, I’ve gone through a lot since that point. Since losing at Under Siege, since re-forming the High Rollerz only to see that little run go up in smoke. I’m a man who has nothing to lose, I am a man who does not care! Because I have lost again and again. So I have nothing to lose attacking you, I have nothing to lose by standing in front of you, right now and demanding a title shot.
Jack Ripley: Thing is, Impact, is that you say I am no challenge. You say that I don’t warrant a shot at your championship and you belittle me and everything I have done. But I’m looking around and I’m not seeing anybody else step up to the plate. Maybe they did, you’d still do everything in your power to deny them their shot. You’ve been in this game a long time, you know you have a free slot at Territorial Invasion. Aside from that championship, what do you have to lose taking on a perennial failure like me? Unless maybe, just maybe, you don’t have the balls to accept my challenge because you know that on my best day? Jack Ripley runs through Impact and dominates him without a care in the world. I think you’re afraid to accept my challenge for Territorial Invasion, because you know that’s where your name being associated with the Answers World Championship? Comes to an end.
( The European crowd are on the edge of their seats, oohing-and-aahing to the words coming out of Jack Ripley’s mouth. Impact takes a moment to contemplate the challenge that has been set out before him. He shrugs his shoulders, the Answers World Championship becoming a touch more lax on his shoulder. Impact responds to Jack’s challenge. )
Impact: Sure, but it’ll be your funeral.
( POW! )
Gavin Kirkland: Impact just whipped his microphone into Jack Ripley’s temple!
Deadprez: Jack Ripley is momentarily stunned, Impact throws down the Answers World Championship and begins laying forearms into Jack’s face! Ripley is backing up, the buzz from that initial hit leaving him defenseless to Impact’s assault.
Eve: That’s a move becoming of a champion, you guys! Jack said Impact has been in his game a long time, Impact proved Jack right with that veteran’s trick. Impact is pushing Jack to the corner and is wailing everything on him that he has to give.
Gavin Kirkland: Knees! Punches! Elbows! Impact is making a point here.
Deadprez: Jack Ripley has come to his senses though, catching a knee and twisting to the side of Impact now! Ripley puts his entire body weight into tackling the Answers World champion to the mat now, the two are rolling around like pigs in the mud now, grappling for top control and throwing punches at every available opportunity!
Eve: I don’t think this is going to last as long as we’d hope, you guys. Referees and security officials are speeding out from the back and the sides of the arena. Jack has started to gain a fraction of control here, landing a couple of big blows to Impact’s mid-section. But look now! Officials have entered the ring, their immediate actions to grab at Ripley’s shoulders and drag him off of the man he’ll seemingly be facing at Territorial Invasion!
( Officials are quick to separate Jack Ripley and Impact, both men now on their feet and shouting foul language in one-another’s direction. But, neither men are willing to begin brawling to the center, instead allowing the separation to occur. What a twist in the tale of Impact’s championship reign! After seemingly believing that Jack Ripley was not deserving of a title match, it now appears that’s the direction we are heading in. Cameras are quick to transition elsewhere, but what a heated way to kick off a stacked episode of tonight’s Showdown!
A commercial ad break for Voltage’s Rise of the Resistance plays before cutting to ringside for the first match.)
(Saturday Night Showdown fades back into the arena with a shot of Gina Romano with a microphone in her hand and ready to announce the next match being shown.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is a singles match scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘No Auto Durk’ by Lil Durk hits as Hunnid Honcho energetically makes his way out from the backstage area. He has a duffel bag in his hands as he takes out copies of his new mixtape before throwing them into the crowd. He hits the griddy while the crowd throw them back at him before he makes his way down the ramp and to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first… from Chicago, Illinois… weighing in at 345 pounds… ‘THE LYRICAL MIRACLE’… HUNNID HONCHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Well… this guy is definitely something!
Gavin Kirkland: Something? He is everything! Look at this beautiful star Eve! The Lyrical Miracle lives inside of us all!!! I can’t wait to see this amazing debut! The greatest debut of all time! Have you guys listened to his latest mixtape??!?
Deadprez: No, just you Gavin. But Hunnid Honcho has definitely sent waves throughout the landscape of EAW since his arrival, in a way… and now he arrives on Showdown looking to get a victory in his debut. I can’t wait to see what he brings to the table tonight.
(‘I’m a Wanted Man’ by Royal Deluxe then begins to play up as Harley Lewis comes out onto the stage. Lucas Johnson and Komatsu Ogawa accompany him from behind, while Lewis shakes each of their hands before turning toward the ring and nodding his head, hyping himself up. Lewis enters the ring as his fellow partners walk around the outside of the ring.)
Gina Romano: And his opponent… accompanied by Komatsu Ogawa and Lucas Johnson… from Manchester, England… weighing in at 196 pounds… ‘CALLSIGN: STRIKER’… HARLEY LEWIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: As we saw last week on Showdown, there seems to be a partnership being formed by these three Elitists making their way down to the ring now. We saw Harley join Ogawa at the end of his match against Jack Ripley, before he then went onto convince Lucas to join his cause as well. It’ll be interesting to see how this team develops from here.
Deadprez: But now this seems to be the first test for this trio, with Harley stepping into the ring and looking to impress for not just himself but his comrades as well. I’m thoroughly interested to see how this dynamic goes, and even more this match in the process.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: Harley is making his way to the middle of the ring, he’s requesting a collar and elbow tie-up! And Hunnid goes for the bait it seems, Harley waits for Honcho to lift his arms up and goes behind!…. AND KICKS THE BACK OF HIS KNEE! Ouch!!! Honcho holds the back of his leg and he’s jumping on one leg!!! HARLEY RUNS AT HONCHO AND NAILS A DROPKICK TO HIS BACK!!!
Eve: This match clearly going in The ‘Don Lewis’s’ favor! Harley kips up to his feet as he smiles! Getting cocky, maybe all that talk Honcho was doing was just bark Gavin! Lewis raises his arms out, and rightfully so he’s already out-performed everything about Hunnid.
Gavin Kirkland: Man… OH YEAH??? Honcho returns with a kip flip to his feet of his own!! ‘The Lyrical Miracle’ is back up on his feet, and Harley turns his head around…. YEP! A jab… another jab… another jab!!! Yeah!!! … that’s what I’m talking about, Harley is getting the work!!!
Deadprez: Honcho tosses Harley’s arm over his shoulder… HUNNID HONCHO SLAMS HARLEY LEWIS DOWN WITH A URANAGE!!! … This pace seems to have changed, Eve, have you ever heard of not counting your chickens before they hatch?
Eve: Harley will come back against this guy, trust me on that. Harley rolls around holding his back, and Honcho sadly doesn’t stop on the attack. He starts stomping on the back of Lewis…! Stomp after stomp!!! Honcho is going all in! Honcho lifts his leg up… he looks like he’s going for a HUGE STOMP!!! AND…. NO! Harley manages to move out of the way just in time!
Gavin Kirkland: Harley manages to save himself from trouble, AND BEFORE HUNNID CAN DO ANYTHING HE SENDS A SWIFT KICK TO THE BACK OF HIS KNEE! Honcho leans on the ropes in pain and rightfully so! ‘Don Lewis’ comes out of nowhere and runs at Honcho with a HUGE LARIAT BUT… Hunnid is too large! He can’t get him over the rope…. Harley runs back to the opposite side of the ring, bouncing off the rope with another LARIAT!!! Honcho stays in the ring though!!!
Deadprez: Man!!! I mean look at the size difference it really shows now more than anything. Harley goes off the ropes for a THIRD…. NO HONCHO GRABS HARLEY BY THE NECKKKK…. OH BOY, CHOKESLAM!!! Harley’s soul just left his body, no way in Disneyland that felt good!
Eve: Yikes! I’ve gotta give it to ‘The Lyrical Miracle’ he is putting up a fight. Hunnid runs off and rebounding off the ropes SPLASHES!!! Onto Harley Lewis, a huge follow-up and what a nasty feeling that must be awful for Harley! Lewis is holding his stomach in immense pain, his face turning as red as a strawberry. I mean I can’t blame him with Honcho having the frame football lineman.
Deadprez: Honcho is recovering, his bearings and Lewis isn’t even stirring. This could be bad for the wrestling machine, they call him that but what happens when he’s against a machine?! Hunnid is smiling hard! He’s ready to do something crazy from the looks of it! Hunnid goes over and he’s starting to drag Harley to the middle of the ring??? What are you planning, Honcho!!!
Gavin Kirkland: He’s planning to be a beast! Honcho is walking over to the ropes… he’s setting himself up on the middle rope….! HONCHO IS FLYING WITH A HUGE FROG SPLASH, THE BIG MAN CAN FLY! AND LAND ON NOTHING BUT MAT! Lewis rolls out of the way once more, and now look, Harley playing possum as Honcho connects with straight mat! Lewis grabs the giant arm of Hunnid and locks in an armbar!!!
Eve: Look at this! Harley Lewis has the big man tamed!! Honcho is struggling, BUT HE RIPS his arm from Lewis!! Wow! The strength is immaculate for this up and coming elitist; this is insane!! Huncho now on the ground with Lewis and grabbing him in-between the thighs, A HEADLOCK VARIATION! AND ‘THE LYRICAL MIRACLE’ rains down elbow after elbow!!!
Deadprez: He’s good but Huncho is stronger, keep in mind. Our music artist in EAW now pushes Harley off of him before mounting him…. AND HE RAINS DOWN A FIST! Right on the nose!!! Hunnid is a beast right now and manages to keep this up before the referee stops him and holds him back before he can go any further! Lucas grabs his face while Hunnid approaches him…
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HARLEY ROLLS AND DROPS HUNNID WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! Hunnid faceplants while Harley gets back up to his feet, BEFORE STOMPING ON HIS HEAD AND KEEPING HIM DOWN! Harley isn’t done though as he turns around Hunnid onto his back. Lewis grabs the fingers of HUNCHO, OH, OH HE’s BENDING THEM!!! Hunnid is letting out screams of pain but I’m not sure that’s going to change anything!! LEWIS BENDS HIS FINGERS DOWN ONTO THE MAT BEFORE LETTING GO! YIKES!!!
Eve: This isn’t looking good for our local SoundCloud rapper. Lewis stands up and he’s looking for the skies…. Harley Lewis is making his way up to the top rope, and…. ELBOWWW DROP! Lewis slams his elbow deep into the chest of Hunnid Honcho! And he lifts the leg up for our first official fall of this match-up!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOOOO!!!!!
Deadprez: HONCHO THROWS HARLEY LEWIS UP IN AIR LIKE A BABY! OH MY GODDD! WHAT IN THE ACTUAL MICKEY MOUSE!!! Harley Lewis is dead, he HAS to be! He landed straight first on his stomach!!! Hunnid is HUGE! Honcho slowly stirs to his feet as he rolls off and uses the ropes for leverage….
Gavin Kirkland: And he’s making his way over to the corner… and stomps down! And again!!! Harley Lewis is slowly getting back up to his feet and OH NO! A LAST STOMP AND A RUNNING BULL AT HARLEY! “HUNCHO DELUXE!!!” Hunnid MURDERS Lewis! He flips inside and out and lands back first onto the canvas. Hunnid raises an arm and falls straight down on Harley and the cover has begun!!!
ONEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Eve: Harley Lewis barely manages to get his shoulder up against the huge frame of ‘Holler Of The Streets.’ Huncho is in disbelief as he rolls off and gets up onto his feet. Hunnid is grabbing at his non-existent hair and yelling. Huncho is fed-up and he’s really breaking a sweat. Hunnid grabs ‘Don Lewis by his hair and lifts him up… AND INTO A BEAR HUG….
Deadprez: As he lifts him, wait a second… IS HARLEY BITING HIS NECK! What the hell!!! HUNNID screams out as he drops Harley who lands on his feet and IMMEDIATELY NAILING A SPINNING HEEL KICK! Hunnid spins around and slinks down… Huncho falls down, his head slamming onto the mat as Lewis catches his breath….
Gavin Kirkland: Harley runs off to the ropes, and bounces off! Once more Harley goes for some fast paced offense and DIVING HEADBUTT!!!! Lewis smacks his head on Hunnid Honcho’s beauty!!!
Eve: Dude.
Gavin Kirkland: Anyways both heads collide, and Lewis grabs the back of his head…! AND BAM!!! AND BAM!!! TWO MORE HEADBUTTS FROM ‘Don Lewis!’ Ohhhh Huncho hits a HEADBUTT OF HIS OWN IN RETALIATION! Both men roll away from one another holding their respective heads and sitting up to their feet.
Deadprez: Oh man both men look at one another with revenge in their eye… this match has turned into a SLAP! From ‘Don Lewis’ and one right back from Hunnid but the huge hand of the ‘Lyrical Miracle’ and Harley falls down onto his ass. Huncho is beating his fist onto his chest and yeah! This is getting nice as Lewis gets back up and CHOPS Hunnid!
Eve: Honcho grabs at his chest and winces as he doesn’t have the strength to react fast enough to block the second chop coming right his way! Hunnid holding his chest once more… he is struggling! That new elitist feel is really showing off, Lewis now grabs the arm of Honcho and pushes it behind the big man’s back. Hunnid looks back at Lewis as he backs up.. OH HE IS NOT HAPPY!
Gavin Kirkland: Imagine taking that pretty smile off the face of ‘The Lyrical Miracle.’ Hunnid looks extremely ticked off though, Honcho looks at Lewis and slams his fist using his reach!!! Clubbing Lewis right on the skull, this isn’t enough for ‘Don Lewis’ to fall as he plants his feet. Lewis nearly falls…. BUT! He doesn’t and he runs at Honcho but… AS HUNNID GOES FOR THE CLOTHESLINE!!!
Deadprez: Lewis ducks under and jumps off the middle rope, the high-flying ability showing off!!! And nails a kick to Honcho’s skull!!! On the back of the skull! Honcho is dropped down to the canvas while Harley brings him up by his head, before beginning to send repeated forearms toward his skull to keep him at bay! Harley keeps his assault going, but before he can continue any further it’s Honcho that manages to shove him away and give himself some breathing room! Harley manages to keep himself composed as he runs forward, SPINNING AROUND AND GOING FOR A DISCUS LARIAT TO THE HEAD- But Hunnid manages to duck under it before turning around, AND COMPLETELY LEVELING HARLEY WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE!
Eve: Hunnid then makes his way over to Harley and snatches his arm, pulling him up and sending him toward the ropes… LOOKING TO GRAB HIM AND CONNECT WITH A SPINEBUSTER TO THE MAT- BUT HARLEY MANAGES TO GRAB HIS HEAD AND SPIKE HIM DOWN WITH A DDT- BUT HUNNID KEEPS HIM UP AND POPS HIM UP INTO THE AIR BEFORE LETTING HIM DROP RIGHT BACK DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: Just when you think you’re safe, ‘THE LYRICAL MIRACLE’ FINDS YA! :singing: Hunnid grabbing Harley by the head and bringing him back up to his feet, but before he can do anything it’s Harley that begins to send repeated punches toward his head! Hunnid blocks with his forearms but Harley’s refusal to stop continues to shine, starting to send an array of kicks as well to shift the odds for him in this match! Hunnid has finally had enough though as he grabs Harley by the head and sends him toward the corner with an Irish whip, turning him around and setting him up… RUNNING TOWARD HIM AND ATTEMPTING A CORNER SPLASH TO HARLEY-
Deadprez: BUT HARLEY MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! Hunnid collides with the corner but turns around and tries to recover, BEFORE HARLEY RUNS FORWARD AND LEAPS INTO THE AIR BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO SEND HIM BACK INTO THE CORNER! Harley isn’t done… LOOK AT THE STRENGTH! HE DROPS HIM WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! ‘CAR CRASH’ CONNECTS ON HUNNID HONCHO DROPPING HIM DOWN BEFORE HARLEY QUICKLY PINS HIS SHOULDERS TO THE MAT FOR THE THREE COUNT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREE-
Eve: BUT HUNNID GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Harley has clearly gotten more than he bargained for in this match, and is left scratching his head over what he’s going to be able to do right now. Harley circles around the ring, shaking off his limbs and taking this time to recover while he has the opportunity, patiently waiting for Hunnid to get back up to his feet. He has him right where he wants him right now…
Gavin Kirkland: HE PULLS HUNNID IN AND IS LOOKING TO ATTEMPT ‘NO MORE COUNTERMEASURES’! TIGER DRIVER ’91 TO THE DEBUTEE LOOKING TO FINISH THIS MATCH OFF FOR GOOD!
Deadprez: BUT HUNNID TURNS IT AROUND AND COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP BEFORE HARLEY CAN FULLY EXECUTE! Harley takes a hard landing but is already beginning to get back up, but he definitely isn’t going to be meeting anything that favors him right now. HUNNID RUNS FORWARD AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Harley is down once again but just as before starts to get back up again, ONLY FOR HUNNID TO SPIN AROUND AND NAIL HIM WITH A BIG BOOT TO DROP HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS ONCE MORE! Hunnid isn’t done though as he scoops Harley up off the ground and sets him up, LOOKING TO DROP HIM INTO A FALLAWAY SLAM-
Eve: But before he can go through with it Harley begins to send elbow strikes toward the side of his head to try and force him down! Hunnid ultimately let’s go before swinging a punch at the head of Harley- But Harley manages to duck under that before turning around and sending punches toward the head of Hunnid instead! Harley then turns around and runs the ropes… ONLY TO FALL INTO A ‘CERTIFIED BANGER’ BY HUNNID HONCHO!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh brother, it looks like he’s going up to the top rope. Xander Payne creates earthquakes when he does this, I wonder what’s going to happen when Hunnid Honcho does the same. Hunnid sets himself up with Harley still on the ground-
Deadprez: HE’S GOING FOR ‘HIP HOP HIPPO SPECIAL’! THE FROG SPLASH TO LEWIS TO FINISH THIS ONE OFF FOR GOOD!
Eve: WAIT!
(The camera goes to ringside to show Lucas Johnson and Komatsu Ogawa both jumping onto the apron and shooting at Hunnid Honcho to get his attention. Before he goes for the frog splash, Hunnid turns and looks at the two of them before yelling at them.)
Hunnid Honcho: (Off-Mic) You two just HATERS! Get your swag up, buy my debut album, and #FOLLOW4FOLLOW!
Gavin Kirkland: HUNNID AIRS OUT THE HATERS BEFORE LEAPING OFF FOR THE FROG SPLASH!
Deadprez: BUT THE DISTRACTION WAS ENOUGH FOR HARLEY TO GAIN CONSCIOUSNESS AND ROLL OUT OF THE WAY! HUNNID TAKES A ROUGH LANDING WHILE HARLEY IS BACK UP…
Eve: PULLING HIM IN AND CONNECTING WITH A HUGE ‘NO MORE COUNTERMEASURES’! TIGER DRIVER ’91 FINALLY CONNECTS WHILE HARLEY PINS HUNNID’S SHOULDERS TO THE MAT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘I’m a Wanted Man’ once again plays through the speakers as the crowd boos Harley Lewis who is getting back up to his feet. Komatsu Ogawa and Lucas Johnson immediately slide into the ring themselves, applauding Harley on his victory before they both raise his hand in victory. Harley ignores the fact that this victory is tainted, starting his celebration inside the ring with a smirk on his face.)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… HARLEY LEWIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS A TRAVESTY! HOW HUNNID HONCHO WAS SCREWED LIKE THIS IS BEYOND ME! THE ATHENS SCREWJOB IS REAL!
Deadprez: Well I agree that Hunnid probably didn’t expect that sudden interference, and was a hair away from winning before it ended up happening. But he can hang his hat on the fact that it took two men to take him down on his debut, and that his journey is far from over here in Elite Answers Wrestling.
Eve: Despite the controversies though, it doesn’t take away from the fact that Harley Lewis has managed to get the victory in this one. The three men inside the ring have certainly made a statement tonight, and I don’t think they’re completely done…
(Ogawa rolls out of the ring and yells at the timekeeper for microphones which he gets before rolling back in and handing them to Lucas and Harley. The referee is seen escorting Hunnid to the back who groggily gives out his mixtape while he does, before Harley’s theme fades and the three of them look to speak to the crowd here tonight. Komatsu Ogawa with his manager, Yoshiaki Tanaka, the ARFKA Lucas Johnson now going by Tyler James and finally Harley Lewis all stand in the ring as the officials were able to get Hunnid Honcho to the back after he was screwed out of the win. Harley paces some before turning to the camera….)
Harley Lewis: Now that they got this piece of crap out of the ring, let me explain to you what this is that you are witnessing. We are not a Club, we are not a stable, we are not a group, what we are is three individuals who cover three different sides of the wrestling spectrum. I heart some call us the Triangle of Terror, but we are more of a Triad that has come together for the sport we have studied and perfected throughout the years to see people like this Honcho and others throw it down the toilet. All of these gimmicks and actors posing as professional wrestlers is actually rather sickening. I look at Elitists like Joso who beat me by the skin of his teeth at Pain for Pride as the new Interwire Champion and it makes me sick. I wander off to Voltage and listen to a grown man cry in Theron Nikolas who was a legend…. Keyword was and now is nothing more than a shadow and shell of his former self, because unlike someone like Lucas Johnson who is now Tyler James realized that while he can come out to the same old grind over and over that in the end it is his responsibility to evolve, not mine, not some women like Natasha, his. So many have wondered why we attacked the “Ghost”…. Here’s why….
(Harley Lewis turns to Lucas Johnson now known as Tyler James who grabs the mic….)
Tyler James: …. Progress. I have been here a long time, I won the Lions Cup, I am a former champion, I have beaten some Hall of Famers but at the end of the day, there is never any respect put to my name. It makes me wonder at times, to be honest why I bother, right? No… it’s love of the game. Professional wrestling is in my blood, it has been a part of me for a very long time. Many of you think that I just like to come out here and get my ass beat, but if you look at my history, most of you will realize that all I have ever needed was to be reminded of what’s most important. The sanctity of this business. It is why we came together, why we cover every inch of this business. And it all started tonight, but continues on Voltage.
(Turning to Komatsu Ogawa and Yoshiaki Tanaka, the big Strong Style brute takes the mic…)
Komatsu Ogawa: Do you see the revolution and how it is televised, live! Professional wrestling, lucha libre, puroresu and any form of combat form that they take for granted all for sports entertainment purposes, to springboard their TV or movie career. We have a bunch of pretty boys and girls shaking their asses for your attention, but what you see here is the heart of professional wrestling! Now that brings up to the Unique Opportunity, where all three of us, will compete in a Ladder Match at Dead men Tell No Tales along with Mary S. Atlas. Now I know what you are thinking that poor Mary are going to be going up against the three of us at one time, right?
(The three of them start to laugh but Harley takes the mic….)
Harley Lewis: See, that is what you think, but we are professionals, we believe in the spirit of competition, but we are also businessmen. Think of it more like a FAMILY. We thrive in the psychology of the RING! Which is why we will compete against one another and Mary for the opportunity. It is a unique experience, one that has never been seen before, but it starts now. Finally, I will send the message to Theron and Natasha. Many will say that you forgot more than we know in this sport, but the reality is? What you forgot is what this sport meant. And now? You will pay the price for…. Selling out.
(Harley Lewis drops the mic as ‘I’m a Wanted Man’ by Royal Deluxe starts to play throughout the arena as Harley Lewis, Tyler James, and Komatsu Ogawa pose, showing off their strength in numbers.)
Deadprez: You heard them, using this business as the center point to their stance and they will not stop until it is all theirs. The fight has taken to Voltage and more What will the Unique Opportunity match hold for these three? We will find out in a few weeks.
Eve: But if I was Theron Nikolas, I would be taking these three very seriously.
Gavin Kirkland: Poor Mary.
(The scene fades to a commercial break with the final shot of this Triangle of Terror posing.)
(The camera cuts to ringside after the commercial break.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and Gentlemen, it is now time for The Best in the World Challenge!!
(The crowd roars loudly, the cameras float over them before changing angles to ringside to show the fans there before focusing back on the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first…
(Before Gina could finish her sentence, It Follows by Cain Hill hits over the P.A System to a chorus of boos from the Greek fans in attendance. The curtain parts ways and out walks Xander Payne with the same look of disdain he has for fans the world over. He stands at the top of the stage and looks out at the crowd and slowly shakes his head.
Gina Romano: Introducing first, he is the BEST wrestler in the WORRRRRLLLLDDDDD… XANDER PAYNE!!!”
(The boos only grows louder as Xander now begins to walk down towards the ring, he stops at the bottom of the ramp and stares at one fan in particular before laughing to himself. AFterwards he rolls into the ring and pulls himself up with the rope and walks over to Gina and takes the mic from her before walking to the middle of the ring and turning around.)
Xander Payne: That was okay Gina, it was a little better than last week… But I don’t blame you, I blame the location to be honest… Last week we were in Italy, the beautiful city of Rome. It is a place that is filled with history and you know what? None of that mattered more than when I Xander Payne, the BEST WRESTLER IN THE WORLD set foot there. When I graced them with MY presence just like I stand here in front of all of you.
(More boo’s from the crowd are heard, Xander stands in the ring and nods almost agreeing with the fans.)
Gavin Kirkland: Is he agreeing with them, that’s a first?!
Xander Payne: If I were in your shoes I would be booing as well. Who would want to live here in Greece? Your currency isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on, we have Toilet paper back home in Canada worth more. The food? Don’t get me started on the food you all have here!!!
(Just thinking about it makes Xander gag a little before regaining some composure…)
Eve: That isn’t true at all. The food here is incredible.
Xander Payne: And to think this is the birthplace of wrestling… So we’re led to believe anyway!
(Xanders attention is grabbed for a moment by one fan in the front row, he walks over to the ropes and leans over as they shout something…)
Xander Payne: I’m sorry sir what was that…? Sorry… MA’AM!! You know, if you ask Gina here she might be able to help with tips on how to remove that moustache doll. Now where was I?
Deadprez: Oh my god…
Eve: Unbelievable…
(Even more boos are heard but Xander speaks over them.)
Xander Payne: Right, this is the BIRTHplace of wrestling… But when I look out to all of you I don’t see anyone who could be considered a wrestler. Hell I don’t think I have heard of a Greek wrestler coming out and making it big… But I have been told to turn up because EAW has found someone who wants to get their ass handed to them so I am not waiting any longer…
Eve: Okay here we go…
Xander Payne: Whoever you are, get your ass out here because I’m done waiting!!! Let’s see what the birthplace of this sport we all love has to represent!!!
(Xander tosses the mic back to Gina Romano who stands in her corner waiting for just a moment when the arena’s lights go completely out. There is a pause before the opening to Jason and the Argonauts begins to play over the P.A System. The crowd immediately begins to cheer when spotlights shine down onto the stage to reveal marble pillars.The big screen comes to life with footage of clouds and clear blue skies, the focus next is that of the stage where a figure begins to rise up…)
Gavin Kirkland: What in the world… is that a statue?!
Eve: It looks incredibly life-like…
(The figure stands on a podium and is posing like the Greek god Atlas holding the world above his head. The earth then rolls down the back of the statue as it begins to move to reveal it is in fact the opponent of Xander Payne… Atlas… )
Deadprez: Wow that there is Atlas, one of the legendary local talents here.
Gavin Kirkland: I don’t know whether you’re being sarcastic or not right now, Prez.
Deadprez: Dead serious man, this cat is good. Just listen to this crowd, they know!
(The crowd is cheering even more loudly now as Atlas turns to face the ring, a figure of pure muscle and only a loincloth. He looks down at the ring where Xander is and points as the music reaches its peak. Xander shakes his head and exits the ring as Atlas begins to run down to the ring most notably barefoot. The two men meet at the bottom of the aisle and start to hammer away at each other, Xander quickly stomping the foot of Atlas before raking his eyes.)
Deadprez: Well these two are on the outside, the match hasn’t even been officially started but already Xander isn’t taking any prisoners here. Payne grabs hold of Atlas and runs him into the ring apron to more boos from these fans.
Eve: This isn’t the start Atlas expected or hoped for I imagined but it’s what is going on when you go up against a man like Xander Payne.
Gavin Kirkland: It’s why he’s the best in the world.
(Xander drives a knee into the side of Atlas next before he rolls him into the ring. Payne follows soon after and pulls Atlas to his feet but is caught with a chop from the living statue pro wrestler. Xander winces when he is caught with another chop. The referee calls for the bell with both men now in the ring.)
DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!
(Xander is irish whipped across the ring, atlas on the return goes for a clothesline attempt but Xander ducks under it only to hit the ropes at full speed and rush back before leaping into a shoulder block taking Atlas down.)
Deadprez: Big shoulder block from the best wrestler in the world Xander Payne. He took Atlas off his feet and went back on the offensive. Both men up and the two grapple for supremacy. Atlas has the upper hand with he strength, once again sends Xander across the ring with another Irish whip but Xander spins through and sends Atlas instead. The Greek hits the ropes only to return into a waiting Xander who pops him up into the air, catches him on his shoulders and hits a Death Valley Driver in the middle of the ring.
(The crowd goes silent.)
Eve: The crowd doesn’t know what to do as Xander covers their hero…
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: NO KICK OUT BY THE GREEK GAWD, ATLAS!!!
(Xander sits up and goes immediately back onto the offensive, he shakes his head not accepting this at all. He pulls Atlas to his feet and hits a whip into the corner which he follows after with a splash. A stiff back elbow from Payne causes Atlas to drop into the seated position which opens him up to Xander running to the opposite corner before rushing back across the ring and driving his knee into the side of the head of Atlas.)
Xander Payne: What do you think of your hero now?!
(One fan shouts something but Xander retorts)
Xander Payne: SHUT UP! NO ONE ASKED YOU.
Eve: Xander not liking what one fan said there, but his focus is back on Atlas who he stomps away at now before walking away to the middle of the ring. Atlas again begins to get to his feet and like a red rag to a bull invites Xander to run at him which he does and connects with a shotgun drop kick as Atlas stepped out of the corner.
Gaving Kirkland: He hits that corner HARD and stumbles out before collapsing to his back. Xander now back on his feet leaps to the second rope and leaps off for a seated senton before wincing and leaning back and covering.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: NO!!! ATLAS WITH A CRUCIFIX AND ROLLS XANDER TO HIS SHOULDERS WITH A PIN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN-
Eve: NO!! KICK OUT BY PAYNE!!
(Xander is quick to get back to his feet but as he does, Atlas does as well seemingly with a second wind. He runs at Payne and takes him down with a clothesline. Xander pops back up only to get scooped up and slammed into the canvas. Payne again is back up onto his feet and stumbles towards the corner. Atlas charges at him for a huge splash of his own, but Xander dodges and locks his arms around Atlas’ waist after he hits the corner. Payne spins around and throws him back with a released german suplex into the corner!)
Gavin Kirkland: OOOOOH! THAT IS GOING TO LEAVE A MARK. VINTAGE XANDER PAYNE THERE.
(Xander sits there a moment on the canvas and winces a little before looking at Atlas who is folded up like an accordion in the corner. Xander gets to his feet and stomps at Atlas who looks to be out.)
Gavin Kirkland: Xander not falling for any tricks this time after that near fall attempt earlier. He stomps at Atlas and again before pulling him to his feet and unloads chops on his chest. The white pain is being replaced by red welts immediately, that is how hard Xander is hitting him!
Deadprez: Xander is not happy, he slaps the face of ATlas before sending him across the ring with an Irish whip. He hits the ropes and on the return Xander pops him up into the air once again only drops him down with that powerbomb he is famous for in the middle of the ring.
Eve: Xander drops to his knees to cover but… oh come on, there is no need for that!
(Xander gets back to his feet and pulls Atlas up with him and lifts him onto his shoulders before dropping him in the middle of the ring with a Burning Hammer. The crowd ooohs, but boos immediately like they have throughout this match and even more so now when Xander covers…)
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
(DING DING DING!!!)
(It Follows by Cain Hill hits over the P.A System, Xander gets to his feet and walks over to the ropes and raises his arms goading the crowd to boo louder which they do just that. He walks over to a camera and forces it to look at him.)
Xander Payne: I AM THE BEST WRESTLER IN THE WORLD. IS THAT THE BEST YOU HAVE TO THROW AT ME?! STOP INSULTING ME!!!
(Xander pushes the camera away and walks back to the middle of the ring and looks down at Atlas who is now being checked on by the official.)
Deadprez: Another win for the best wrestler in the world, conquering the Greek Gawd, Atlas…
Eve: It was a valiant effort but I think all it did was piss Xander off more, he wants to be challenged. This world tour is supposed to do that for him but if you ask me it’s all to just inflate his ego.
Gavin Kirkland: Is it ego if it’s true? Or just a statement of fact, Eve? He’s gone into these blind and come out on top, what more do you want?
(The last images we see are of Xander Payne now exiting the ring and walking back up the ramp, not even acknowledging the Greek fans again before walking through the curtain as it fades to commercial.)
( The scene fades back to the show with Gina Romano standing in the middle of the ring, a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand, ready to announce the upcoming match. )
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TWENTY MINUTES TIME LIMIT SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘9 5 . South’ by J. Cole plays throughout the arena as Abel Atami makes his way up to the stage with his manager, Antonne Prudence on his side to a negative reaction from the crowd. Abel ignores the reaction so as his manager then both of them make their way down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, ACCOMPANIED BY ANTONNE PRUDENCE!!!!… FROM UPOLU, SAMOA!.. WEIGHING IN AT 251 POUNDS!!!!!… HE’S ‘THE POTENTATE’ !!!…. ABELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ATAMIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: The potentate is back on Showdown again, folks! Tonight, he’s here to beat the former 2X New Breed Champion and the former Interwire Champion, Jon Kelton! I’m pretty sure he’s very humble to take a win here tonight!
Eve: Abel has been losing time and time during his way to fight Alex Myers for the New Breed title but, maybe he can pull an upset against a big fish like Kelton here tonight. He needs something to prove that he’s ready to fight for it.
Deadprez: I know that so far, Abel has only beaten Lucas Johnson but not any other competitors like Holly Arrow but… maybe he will do something it here against Jon Kelton.
( Abel arrives in the ring as ‘Last Strike’ by Polo G replaces Abel’s theme music as Jon Kelton, alongside Londyn Zelaya, walks up to the stage into a mixed reaction. Kelton looks down at Abel with a confident expression and then makes their way down to the ring with Londyn on his side. )
Gina Romano: HIS OPPONENT, ACCOMPANIED BY LONDYN ZELAYA… FROM TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA… WEIGHING IN AT 204 POUNDS… HE’S ‘THE CHOSEN ONE’… JONNNNNNNNNNN KELTONNNNNNNNNN!
Deadprez: Here comes the former New Breed Champion and he’s looking to give Abel some lesson before his title match against Alex Myers! Also, Alex is also banned tonight from ringside, so Kelton might have to take this on his own way without Alex coming around and beating up Abel to assist him in a victory.
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton shouldn’t look like that at all! He should be concerned about the Potentate because tonight may be the day he will embarrass himself!
Eve: I don’t think Kelton worries much about Abel because if we compare these two elitists realistically. We will know that Kelton clears Abel, with all due respect.
Gavin Kirkland: Don’t talk to Abel like that, Eve! You don’t know who this man is!
Eve: :francis:
(DING DING DING!)
Eve: The match begins to roll and here we go! Abel Atami takes on Jon Kelton officially starts! Abel makes his way over to Kelton’s corner and tries to tackle Kelton back into the corner but Kelton quickly rolls under his legs and hops back to his feet. Abel hits himself right into the corner and Kelton connects from behind with a running single knee strike to the back of his head!
Deadprez: Abel falls into the corner, and Kelton continues to charge Abel with a series of mudhole stomps! Kelton is now on the roll at this stage. Kelton stops his action towards Abel, pulls Abel back to his feet, hooks him up, and tries to put him down with a snap Suplex but Abel uses his right leg to stop Kelton. Kelton pushes Kelton away and connects Kelton with a beautiful Pele kick!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s the power of the true potentate of Showdown, folks! My next New Breed champion is right there!
Eve: :snoop:
Deadprez: Anyway, back to the match, guys! Kelton falls back down to the mat, Abel rises back to his feet, pulls Kelton by his right wrist, and tosses him to the ropes. Kelton bounces off the ropes, Abel catches and sends Kelton to fly over his head with a Nothern Lights Suplex!
Gavin Kirkland: Abel’s Nothern Lights Suplex causes Kelton to roll under the bottom rope to the outside of the ring. Kelton pushes himself off the floor and tries to get back to his feet… Look out Kelton!
Eve: Abel slides down under the bottom rope to outside and connects Kelton with a Bicycle Kick right across his jaw! It’s more like Abel wants to find a way to end this earlier, he keeps attacking his opponent more and more than usual! Finally, after taking him down, Abel picks Kelton back to his feet, makes Kelton face the barricade, and sends Kelton’s spine down to the edge of it!
Deadprez: Kelton holds down his back and stumbles down to the front. Abel pulls him back to his feet again…. WAIT… GUYS! GUYS! HE’S COMING OVER HERE!-
Gavin Kirkland: What is this man trying to do here? Abel drags Kelton down in front of our commentary table AND SENDS KELTON’S BACK DOWN TO THE EDGE OF THE TABLE WITH A SNAP TIGER SUPLEX!
( Abel rises back to his feet and looks down at Kelton, still hurt from that spot. Antonne walks down to watch both men and gives a round of applause for Abel while the crowd is booing at both men. )
Antonne Prudence (Off-Mic): That’s right! That’s my man! Great job, my Potentate!
Eve: Antonne comments Abel while he’s picking Kelton back to his feet then sends him back inside the ring before the referee starts to count both men out. Abel pops back to his feet and walks over to Kelton, crawling down to the rope….
Deadprez: Abel stomps on Kelton’s hand, picks him back to his feet, sends him into the corner, and begins to rain down a barrage of mudhole stomps as a payback to what Kelton just did to him earlier in this match!
Gavin Kirkland: Abel stops hitting those stomps and smacks Kelton’s jaw with a Spinning Knee! Kelton holds down his jaw and falls off the corner. Abel secures him from behind and sends him flying across the ring with a Bridging German Suplex! Abel has Kelton on hold and connects him with a pinfall!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Eve: Jon Kelton saves himself with a kick-out!
Deadprez: Abel looks down at Kelton in disappointment, then turns his face to Antonne. Abel nods his head and Antonne does the same in agreement that the job is yet to be done here. Abel picks Kelton back to his feet, grabs Kelton by his right wrist, and sends him over to the ropes…
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton bounces off the ropes and Abel goes for a Slingbla- KELTON SLIDES UNDER AND ABEL LANDS HIS BUTT TO THE MAT! ABEL YELLS OUT IN PAIN, KELTON QUICKLY SEIZES HIM BACK TO HIS FEET, KICKS TO ABEL’S GUT AND CONNECTS HIM WITH A TWIST OF FATE!
Eve: Abel falls down to the mat but Kelton is still hurt from those moves he took from Abel. Kelton tries his best to get back to his feet and slowly heads down over to the corner. Kelton climbs all the way up to the top rope and Abel still tries his best to get back to his feet like what Kelton just did!…
Deadprez: Abel turns his attention back to Kelton and Kelton sends himself off the top turnbuckle then lands on Abel with a frog splash! Abel is down and Kelton hooks his leg up for a pinfall!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Abel Atami gets his shoulder up-
Eve: Instantly right after Abel is kicked out, Kelton pops back to Abel, pushes him back down to the mat, and washes Abel’s face with a slap repeatedly! Kelton looks totally mad at Abel, he starts to change from slapping his face to punching the hell out of Abel!
Deadprez: The referee yells at Kelton and tries to break him up. Kelton gets Abel back to his feet, seizes him up, and takes him down with a Spinebuster! Kelton sits on Abel’s gut and begins to blow his nose with a series of stiff punches!
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton returns to his feet and leaves Abel down to the mat with a stomp on his face! Kelton looks entirely like a mad man here after what he just did to Abel!
Eve: Abel is trying to get back to his feet after taking all those shots from Kelton but Kelton helps him up instead, throws him into the corner, runs up and connects Abel with a spe-
Deadprez: ABEL MOVES OUT AND KELTON SENDS HIMSELF FLYING INTO THE RING POST INSTEAD! KELTON POPS OFF THE CORNER AND HOLDS DOWN HIS SHOULDER- ABEL CONNECTS HIM WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE GUT, A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD, SNATCHES KELTON FROM BEHIND AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!! KELTON IS DOWN, ABEL SLIDES DOWN, HOOKS HIS LEG AND GOES FOR A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
THRE-
Gavin Kirkland: Not close! Jon Kelton escapes with a kick-out!
Eve: Abel looks frustrated that he’s yet to put Kelton down for good. Maybe Abel has to put more work into this match to get himself a win over the former two-times New Breed Champion. Abel wipes the sweat off his forehead, grabs Kelton by his legs, and tries to put him down with a Texas Cloverleaf.
Deadprez: Kelton uses both legs and tries to push Abel away. Abel tries to twist those legs around to get them locked in with his move. Abel sends a stomp into Kelton’s gut and then quickly tries to turn it into a Texas Cloverleaf once again!-
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton bends his back up to catch Abel by his head, pulls him down to the mat, grabs him by his arm, and tries to use both hands to tie him up by his mouth. Kelton tries to counter the move into a crossface here!
Eve: Abel still fights against Abel, he still doesn’t want to be the one that Kelton puts down. Abel tries to push those hands away to make Kelton unable to complete the move. Kelton sends a shot of elbow strikes to the back of Abel’s head while he’s sitting next to him. Kelton pushes Abel down against the mat and puts him down with a crossfa-
Deadprez: Abel pulls his head off and rises back to his feet in time! Aben runs to the ropes, hops off, and comes back at Kelton with a Jumping DD- POWERBOMB CATCHING ABEL OFF GUARD IN THE AIR BY KELTON!
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON IS NOT DONE YET, HE PROCEEDS TO LIFT ABEL AND GIVES HIM WITH ANOTHER POWERBOMB. KELTON STILL DID NOT LET HIM GO. KELTON PULLS ABEL BACK TO HIS FEET AND SENDS ABEL CRASHING DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH ANOTHER POWERBOMB!! KELTON DROPS ABEL DOWN TO THE MAT WITH THREE POWERBOMBS IN A ROW, HOOKS HIS LEG AND GOES FOR A PIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
THRE-
Deadprez: Abel Atami with his shoulder up! The match continues!
Eve: Kelton slowly ascends back to his feet after failing to put down Abel with three powerbombs in a row. Kelton pushes himself off the mat back to his feet, walks down to Abel who is still laying down, picks him back to his feet, and sends him all the way down to the corner.
Gavin Kirkland: Kelton points at Abel, runs up to him at full speed, and is able to connect him with a spear at the corner this time. Kelton throws Abel down to the mat after hitting him with a spear, hops over the ropes down to the apron, and heads up to the top. Kelton looks down and he is about to go for a dive but here comes Antonne!
( Antonne yells at Kelton Kelton notices the noise and looks down at Antonne who seems to be displeased. )
Antonne Prudence (Off-Mic): Hey! What the hell do you think you are doing, you sick freak?!
Jon Kelton (Off-Mic): :comeagain:
Antonne Prudence (Off-Mic): Now!… Get off the-
Deadprez: ‘PLAN B’ TO ANTONNE FROM LONDYN, KNOCKING HIM OUT COLD FOR ANOTHER WEEK!
Gavin Kirkland: But wait, look! Abel is back to his feet, he grabs Kelton and tries to send Kelton off the top turnbuckle with a vertical suplex but Kelton fights back! Kelton uses his free hand to hit Abel right to his gut over and over! Kelton pushes Abel away from him and Abel falls off the rope. Kelton begins to stand upon the top turnbuckle… HE JUMPS OFF IT AND LANDS ABEL DOWN DIRECTLY TO HIS GUT WITH A DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!-
Eve: Abel rolls out of his way in time! Kelton moves down to the mat, and pops back to his feet so as Abel. Kelton turns around to Abel and rushes down at him-
Deadprez: ABEL MOVES TO THE SIDE AND TRIES TO PUT KELTON DOWN WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX FROM BEHIND.-
Gavin Kirkland: NO! HOLD ON! KELTON WITH A BACK ELBOW AT ABEL, TURNS AROUND, TAKES HIM DOWN BY HIS LEGS, LOOKS TO THE ROPES, RUNS UP, AND ATTEMPTS FOR A LIONSAULT. ABEL MOVES OUT ONCE AGAIN, KELTON LANDS ON HIS FEET, AND ABEL POPS BACK TO HIS FEET AND BRINGS KELTON DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A HIGH KNEE!-
Eve: KELTON HITS THE BREAK AND CATCHES ABEL ON HIS SHOULDERS! HE GOT HIM! KELTON LIFTS HIM UP AND TRIES TO GO FOR A F10 FACEBUSTER!
Deadprez: ABEL ESCAPES! ABEL LANDS ON HIS FEET, AND PUSHES KELTON DOWN TO THE ROPES. KELTON BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AND ABEL LOOKS FOR A KITCHEN SINK!!!-
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON RUNS UP AND JUMPS OVER ABEL’S LEG INSTEAD! WHAT A MOVE BY KELTON! KELTON ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET, GRABS ABEL FROM BEHIND AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A ROLLING CUTTER, FINALLY!!! KELTON POPS DOWN OVER ABEL’S BODY AND THE REFEREE STARTS TO COUNT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: CLOSE ONE BUT ABEL ATAMI KICKS OUT!
( Abel tries to catch some breath while Kelton rolls away down to the corner behind him to catch some break after Abel survived eating a pinfall from Kelton. )
Deadprez: Both men are getting themselves a good spot to get some break at this point. Kelton grabs the second rope and pulls himself back to his feet. Abel pushes himself off the mat and also tries to get back to his feet. Kelton starts to get on his roll again then runs down to Abel and hits him with ‘Oblivion’ !!!
Gavin Kirkland: ABEL CATCHES HIS BOTH LEGS, TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE MAT AND LOOKS FOR A HEEL HOOK BUT KELTON USES HIS FREE LEG TO KICK ABEL’S ARM AWAY. ABEL HOLDS HIS ARM, KELTON GETS BACK TO HIS FEET, RUNS UP TO THE ROPES, HOPS ON THE SECOND ROPE, AND LANDS ON ABEL WITH A LIONSAULT-
Eve: ABEL CATCHES KELTON AGAIN AND SENDS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT THIS TIME WITH A FIRE THUNDER DRIVER!!! ABEL HITS IT AND HE GOES A PIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Deadprez: JON KELTON LIFTS HIS SHOULDER UP!
Gavin Kirkland: Look at Abel! Look at how he goes here! Abel starts to slap the mat repeatedly to hype himself up while Kelton is still trying to recover from the move. Abel comes back to his feet with pulling Kelton up with him. Abel sets him all around, lifts him up high and takes Kelton down with a butterfly neckbreaker!
Eve: Abel isn’t going for a pin, he picks Kelton back to his feet once again, and Abel sends him back to the ropes. Kelton pops off the ropes and Abel catches him with a spinning back fist! Abel connects it! That should be it! That’s Abel’s signature! This may be a good chance for Abel to win tonight! Abel drops down and goes for a cover again!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! NO! NO! WAIT! NO, HE’S NOT!
Deadprez: KELTON KICKS OUT! HE KICKS OUT! ABEL IS NOT BELIEVING IT!
Eve: Abel looks down at Kelton in shock as he can’t believe what he just witnessed. Abel looks very angry at this stage as he pops back to his feet quickly, picks Kelton back to his feet, and sends him to the corner. Abel runs up to Kelton and quickly hits him with a rolling elbow at the corner! Abel lifts Kelton up high and then drops the front of his neck down on the top rope! Abel looks totally furious out here!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s right! He’s sick and tired! The potentate is unhappy! Kelton is stunned by the rope attack that Abel just utilized against him. Abel sends a throat punch right to the front of Kelton’s neck, and throws him to the ropes, Kelton bounces off the ropes and Abel catches him with a kitchen sink!
Deadprez: Kelton struggles to try to get back to his feet at this point but it’s going to be really hard around here because Abel is playing hard against Kelton right now. Abel pulls Kelton back to his feet, looks down at Londyn, and smiles at her devilishly. Londyn wants to help Kelton but also doesn’t want to get Kelton disqualified. Abel looks back to Kelton and goes for a short arm clotheslin-
Eve: Kelton kicks Abel’s arm! Kelton jumps up to Abel and knocks him down to the mat with a vicious knee strike! Kelton scoops Abel in… ‘AVADA KEDAVRA’ !!!! ‘AVADA KEDAVRA’ TO ABEL ATAMI! KELTON DROPS ABEL DOWN TO THE MAT, AND HOOKS HIS LEG AS HE GOES FOR A COVER!! THIS COULD BE IT!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT?!??!?!?!
Deadprez: ABEL KICKS OUT! ABEL KICKS OUT! THIS MATCH IS STILL GOING!
( Kelton slowly rolls away from Abel a bit. He looks back at Abel in anger then slowly rises back to his feet with his right hand covering the front of his neck. )
Jon Kelton (Off-Mic): It’s my turn now.
Eve: Uh oh.
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON FURIOUSLY JUMPS DOWN TO ABEL AND BLOWS A SERIES OF PUNCH ON ABEL! RIGHT FIST! LEFT FIST! RIGHT FIST! LEFT FIST! KELTON SAID ITS HIS TIME AND HES GONNA MAKE IT WORTH IT!
Deadprez: KELTON POPS BACK TO HIS FEET AND STOMPS THE HELL OUT OF ABEL ATAMI OVER AND OVER! THE CROWD LOVES IT! EAW LOVES WATCHING WHAT KELTON IS DOING CURRENTLY!
Eve: KELTON IS NOT DONE YET BUT ABEL TRIES TO CRAWL AWAY FROM HIM. KELTON GRABS ABEL BY HIS HEAD AND SENDS A SLAP RIGHT ACROSS ABEL’S FACE! ANOTHER SLAP FROM THE RIGHT! FROM THE LEFT! RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT! KELTON IS GOING INSANE!
Gavin Kirkland: KELTON GRABS ABEL BY HIS HEAD AND SENDS A KNEE RIGHT INTO HIS GUT! ABEL FALLS TO HIS KNEES BUT KELTON CONTINUES TO HURT HIM WITH A KNEE ACROSS HIS FACE! KELTON SENDS A KNEE TO ABEL’S FACE OVER AND OVER! KELTON IS SICK OF ABEL ATAMI! HE’S NOT HAPPY WITH THE POTENTATE!
Deadprez: KELTON STOPS STRIKING HIM, PULLS HIM UNDER HIS LEGS… KELTON GRABS AND SENDS ABEL’S HEAD SPIKING DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A CANADIAN DESTROYER! KELTON CONTINUES TO HOOK THOSE LEGS UP AND THE REFEREE SLIDES DOWN TO BOTH MEN FOR A COUNT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Eve: HOW??? AFTER ALL OF THAT???
Gavin Kirkland: THE POTENTATE KICKS OUT! HE KICKS OUT! HE’S STILL ALIVE GUYS! THAT’S UNBELIEVABLE!
Deadprez: It appears that Abel is yet to give himself up on this match and he still has more to go in this match against Kelton. He wants to prove more and more to show that he’s capable of winning the New Breed Championship title here tonight! Kelton slowly gets back to his feet after time and time, he’s still yet to put Abel down. Kelton grabs Abel by his wrist and tries to pull him back to his feet.
Eve: Abel falls back down to the mat immediately as much as how tired he could ever be here. He seems to be really done here, but that kick-out remains because he’s here to stay.
Jon Kelton (Off-Mic): Do you want to be the New Breed Champion?! If yes, get up and try to put me down!
Gavin Kirkland: Abel is still trying to push himself off the mat after taking a huge beatdown from Kelton. Kelton stands there and looks down at Abel in disappointment. Kelton is done waiting. Kelton sets Abel up for an ‘Anti-Life Equation’ !!!
Eve: ABEL HOISTS KELTON UP IN THE AIR AND THROWS HIM DOWN TO THE FRONT INSTEAD! KELTON LANDS HIS FACE DOWN ON THE MAT AND THEN TRIES TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET WHILE HOLDING HIS NOSE. ABEL POPS HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS AND HITS HIM WITH A FISHERMAN DRIVER!!!-
Deadprez: ABEL IS NOT DONE THERE! ABEL PICKS KELTON BACK TO HIS FEET ONCE AGAIN AND SENDS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH ANOTHER ONE! THAT’S ‘PENTAGRAM’S WRATH’ !!! HE HITS IT!!! THAT’S IT!! HE’S GOING TO BEAT KELTON HERE TONIGHT! ABEL GOES FOR A C-
( Suddenly, a masked guy in a black hood jumps over the barricade from the front row, runs down to the ring, slides through under the bottom rope, and enters the ring. )
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT WHO THE HELL IS THAT???? TAKE HIM OUT SECURITY!!!
Eve: PUNT KICK TO ABEL FROM AN UNKNOWN! THE REFEREE CALLS FOR A BELL! KELTON GETS AWAY WITH A DQ!
( DING DING DING! )
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION!… JON KELTON!
( ‘Last Strike’ by Polo G hits the arena’s speakers as Kelton rolls to the outside of the ring while the unknown looks down at Abel Atami who is still hurt from the punt kick. Kelton holds down his neck and looks at those two in confusion then Londyn comes down and carries Kelton to the back. Kelton’s theme fades out as the scene cuts back to Abel and the unknown then the unknown slowly takes his mask off. Abel looks up as he’s in shock and fear. )
Gavin Kirkland: IT’S ALEX MYERS! OUR NEW BREED CHAMPION IS HERE! ALEX RUNS DOWN TO ABEL AND BEATS THE HELL OUT OF ABEL! ABEL TRIES TO GET AWAY AS HE ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING AND TRIES TO ESCAPE THROUGH THE CROWD AREA. ALEX QUICKLY SLIDES DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING AND TARGETS HIM DOWN.
Deadprez: ANTONNE COMES DOWN AND TRIES TO SAVE ABEL AWAY FROM ALEX BUT ALEX KICKS ANTONNE INTO HIS GUT AND ‘SUDDEN TRAUMA’ ON ANTONNE, SENDING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD DOWN TO THE CONCRETE FLOOR! ALEX QUICKLY POPS BACK TO THEIR FEET AND CHASES ABEL, WHO TRIES TO RUN AWAY FROM HIM BY THE CROWD AREA.
Eve: ALEX CATCHES HIM IN TIME AND JUMPS ABEL FROM BEHIND THEN TRIES TO THROW MORE PUNCHES AT ABEL! ABEL ATTEMPTS TO FIGHT BACK BUT THAT WON’T WORK AT ALL! ALEX KICKS ABEL INTO HIS FACE, STEPS AWAY A BIT, AND GIVES ABEL A DROPKICK! ALEX QUICKLY GETS BACK TO THEIR FEET THEN DRAGS ABEL TO THE BACK WITH THEM! WHAT AN ENDING OF THIS MATCH, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! TUNE IN NEXT WEEK FOR ALEX MYERS TAKES ON ABEL ATAMI FOR THE NEW BREED TITLE AT OUR SUPERSHOW!
( The final shot shows Alex sends Abel through the curtain then follows him inside then the scene fades to the darkness to a commercial break. )
(As it comes back from the break, Por Mi Mexico by Lefty SM ft. Santa Fe Klan hits over the speaker system and as the fans give off a mixed reaction, Roberto De La Rosa steps through the curtain, his face etched with emotion. Without even pausing on the stage to take it in, he immediately makes his way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Deadprez: Roberto on his way to the ring, and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that he is not a happy man.
Gavin Kirkland: Would you be after what happened last week?
Deadprez: I can’t say I would be. Roberto and his wife laid out at the hand of Charlie Marr and Veena Adams, Charlie with the sneak attack that Roberto simply didn’t see coming.
Eve: Like it or not, that’s the difference, the experience. Roberto got caught out, and I’m sure he has plenty to say.
(Roberto steps up and onto the apron, only now looking out over the crowd and nodding his head to acknowledge them.)
Deadprez: Roberto all business tonight, trying not to get distracted by a reaction that he can’t be used to.
(He bends through the strands and into the ring, walking over to the ropes and grabbing a mic from one of his crew as his music dies down. He then paces the ring, obviously troubled by recent events, trying not to let his emotions get the better of him. He then stops, and lifts the mic up to his lips, his eyes now looking out over the capacity crowd.)
Roberto De La Rosa: I’m not a happy man right now, can you tell?
(A roar from the crowd makes Roberto give just a glimmer of a smile, for the first time reacting to their support.)
Roberto De La Rosa: Last week, I’m not going to deny it… it upset me, and rightfully so. I’m not a man who tends to show my emotions. I’m not someone who needs therapy, or a means to talk through my feelings. No, what I do is I deal with my issues, the only way I know. Face to face.
Gavin Kirkland: The way it should be!
Eve: I don’t think he’s talking about having a chat, Gavin.
Roberto De La Rosa: What happened to me, what happened to Esmeralda, it shouldn’t happen. I am supposed to protect her and make sure she never comes to harm. Seeing her hurt like this, that was on me. What happens next, well that’s on me too. Because although I should have been the one looking out for my wife, I sure as hell am not going to let the actions of others go unpunished. So Veena, Charlie… bring yourself out here and confront me, the way you should have last week.
(Roberto turns to the entranceway, and he doesn’t have to wait long for ‘7 rings’ by Ariana Grande to kick in, and for Veena Adams to appear in the entranceway unsurprisingly looking very happy for herself. Roberto just looks at her dismissively looking around her, obviously looking for Charlie.)
Roberto De La Rosa: Alone Veena? I must give you respect at least for your courage.
(Veena chuckles to herself, rolling her eyes.)
Veena Adam: You really do have a high opinion of yourself, don’t you? Thinking that everyone in the back is hanging on your every word. Charlie isn’t out here because you simply are NOT worth it. You’re lucky that I’m standing here, at least giving you the time of day when you so obviously don’t deserve it.
Roberto De La Rosa: Is that right?
Veena Adams: When are you going to understand that you are beneath me and Charlie, you are at nothing like the same level. Whilst you are using every option available to you to make an impact, Charlie and I have no need to do such a thing, such is our reputation. Even now, standing out here talking to you, I’ve earned this company thousands upon thousands of dollars, and made YOU relevant, JUST because I’m talking to you. That’s the draw I am Veena, a level you will never achieve.
(Roberto just grins, Veena placing hands on her waist as the crowd roars.)
Roberto De La Rosa: Veena, if there is anyone who has a high opinion of yourself it is you. The woman who piggybacked herself a career off the back of a family name. A woman who even now is only with the Hardcore Champion to maintain a sense of her own relevancy. You are nothing like the big deal you think you are, Veena, and I’ll prove that when you have the courage to step inside this ring with me…
(That comment makes Veena scoff even further.)
Roberto De La Rosa: Yeah, laugh it up Veena, it doesn’t make it any less true. You WILL face me Veena, I promise you it’s going to happen. But I accept, you’re waiting in a queue right now. But after I down Charlie once and for all and take away the one thing he REALLY holds dear, the Hardcore Championship, then Veena, you’re not going to have any choice. I hope you’re happy with what you did to my wife. I hope you and Charlie spoke of it over dinner that night, happy at what you had achieved. Because I promise you both right now, that fact only makes my imminent revenge that little much sweeter, knowing that payback and indeed karma will indeed be a bitch.
Veena Adams: It’s laughable Roberto that you truly do believe that sewage spewing from your mouth. Especially as it seems you have failed to learn your most important lesson.
Roberto De La Rosa: Which is?
Veena Adams: I don’t have to fight my own battles… remember.
Deadprez: CHARLIE MARR FROM NOWHERE!!!
(Charlie hammers Roberto on the back of the head, but Roberto reacts, spinning around and blocking the second shot, firing off a right hand of his own. Charlie tries to gain the upper hand, but Roberto pummels him, landing a head butt right on the bridge of the nose. Charlie staggers backwards, but Roberto throws an arm between his legs and then lifts him in the air, dropping him with a devastating pump-handle slam.)
Deadprez: ROBERTO GETTING HIM SOME HERE!
Gavin Kirkland: The Kween, Veena coming to assist though!
(Charlie crawls to the ropes, Roberto focused fully on him as Marr picks himself up.)
Eve: Charlies in trouble…
Deadprez: SPEAR!!!! Cuts Charlie Marr in half!
Gavin Kirkland: Watch out behind you Roberto!!!
(Veena slides in the ring, and runs towards Roberto, but Roberto turns at the last minute, grabbing her around the throat, looking her dead in the eyes.)
Gavin Kirkland: He’s choking her, she might like that. Can I say that?
Deadprez: This could be REALLY bad for Veena Adams!
(Roberto looks out over the crowd that roars their approval.)
Deadprez: CHOKESLAM!!!! Roberto has leveled them both with the biggest of exclamation points. And this crowd is loving it!!!!
Eve: Roberto De La Rosa isn’t the most loved Elitist on this brand but listening to this noise right now you’d think so!
Gavin Kirkland: I only hope he hasn’t bitten off more than he can chew. Veena and Charlie are not going to let this go!
Deadprez: Right now, Gavin, I don’t think Roberto cares.
(Roberto grabs his fallen mic, picking it and bending down over Veena.)
Roberto De La Rosa: THAT was for Esmeralda. Next time… it’s for ME!!!
(He drops the mic as his music hits once more before he slides out the ring and backs up the ramp with a smirk on his face.)
Deadprez: Roberto De La Rosa with a huge statement tonight taking out both Charlie Marr and Veena Adams in front of the eyes of the world.
Eve: But you can bet, this isn’t over. Dead Men Tell No Tales is going to be more than interesting!
(Charlie Marr starts to come too and see’s the damage to Veena, his eyes meeting Roberto’s whose grin grows even wider as the camera fades to the backstage area.)
(We cut to the backstage area, the camera focusing on Mikaela Street. She smiles, acknowledging the camera, before she starts to speak.)
Mikaela Street: In just a few weeks’ time we will arrive at Territorial Invasion, when all three brands will battle for supremacy. One such event will be Anarchy in the Arena, where three Elitists from Showdown, three from Dynasty and three from Voltage will face off to become the dominant brand. I have a bit of a treat for you now, as I have with me Showdown’s captain for that event, none other than the Next Level Adam Lucas.
(The camera pans out, to reveal Adam stood by Mikaela’s side, Adam saluting the camera which gets a cheer from most of the crowd.)
Mikaela Street: Adam, thank you for joining me tonight
Adam Lucas: No problem at all Mikaela
Mikaela Street: Adam, it’s been quite a few weeks for you, hasn’t it?
Adam Lucas: It has. Not going to lie, kicking off with a no-contest and a defeat in tag team competition wasn’t the best start to season sixteen, but I knew it wasn’t going to take much for the wind to change. Fast forward a few weeks, and I’m off the back of a confidence boosting triple threat victory over Jake Smith and Xander Payne, and a tag win over Jon Kelton and Donovan Duke.
Mikaela Street: It sounds like you never had any doubts.
Adam Lucas: Have I ever sounded like someone who has ‘doubts’? See, that’s always been the misconception with me. People mistook me for being a realist for me having doubts. I know in those early days I was unlikely to beat someone like a Kassidy Heart, or a Minerva, but it was never in my mindset that I couldn’t. Look at those two matches in depth, and you’ll see that Donovan and I were on the verge of beating Xander and Jack. Lexi doing her thing, that’s what cost me against Holly and Jake. When things were equal, balanced even… I’ve done exactly what I’ve always said I’ll do. Compete to the very best of my ability. Victories will always come, sometimes though chaos will always ensue. So, the only way to answer that chaos is with chaos of my own.
Mikaela Street: A reference to how you won that triple threat perhaps?
Adam Lucas: I’m not going to lie to you Mikaela, I’d rather go to the ring every week and make it all about ability, but that’s not always how this company works. It’s as much about opportunism as it is talent, that is why I didn’t win Cash in the Vault. I’ve had to learn that the hard way and lost a few fans along the way as a sacrifice, but right now, I firmly believe I am the best version of myself… not scratch that, the best version required to exist in EAW. And yes, the best version of me to lead Showdown into Anarchy in the Arena.
Mikaela: You spoke about losing fans… any regrets on that score?
Adam Lucas: Of course, but it was the only way I was going to stay alive. Twice I’ve had my life on the line, purely because my opponents were willing to go further. I had to evolve, and I had very little choice. I wanted so badly to do things the ‘right’ way, and to take the moral high ground every single time. But it was costing me, and it was only a matter of time before it cost me my career. These ‘changes’ I made; they were required. Without them, I wouldn’t have won the triple threat, I wouldn’t be standing here as Captain, and I wouldn’t be so damn close to another World title shot. So, you ask me if I regret anything? No, I doubt. Because those still with me, they understand.
(A smile forms on Adam’s face as The Prescription walks into view, Adam, and Bethany kissing, and as they part, Sheridan and Adam then share a hug.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Hey handsome, hope you haven’t been flirting with Mikaela here. You know what the Streets are like?
Adam Lucas: Like I’d dare.
Mikaela Street: Bethany, good to see you back on Showdown tonight, and welcome to you as well Sheridan.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Thank you
Sheridan Muller: Good to be here
Mikaela Street: I was just talking to Adam about the ‘changes’ he has been through, would you say you’ve had some bearing on that.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Contrary to popular belief, Adam and I are a partnership. No one is bigger than the other. Yes, we talk about wrestling away from the camera, but it doesn’t dominate as much as you may think. Adam and I had to change, no doubt about it, and I’d say those changes have brought about success. Adam will be Answers World Champion, and I will have a long reign as Unified Tag Champion, before going on to become the Universal Women’s Champion, Sheridan going on to singles success of her own. If you saw Adam and I at home, you’d understand. At home we are the same people, but here… it’s what we had to do, and we were given no choice.
Sheridan Muller: This company gives you no choice but to adapt. That’s all Bethany and Adam did, and people should respect that.
Mikaela Street: I’m sure they do. So, in just over a week, the two of you get married, straight after Showdown apparently? In Hawaii?
Adam Lucas: That’s correct… The honeymoon will have to wait however, as The Prescription has the tag titles to defend.
Mikaela Street: Talking of which…
Dr. Bethany Blue: Yes, I know… Lexi, right?
Mikaela Street: Well, it did become a talking point once she made her challenge.
Sheridan Muller: A challenge? That’s funny, don’t you think Adam?
Adam Lucas: Well, they have to hype it up a little don’t they?
Sheridan Muller: True enough
Dr. Bethany Blue: It’s simple Mikaela, The Prescription needed a match and we got one. We don’t want to be one of those champions that defends their titles once in a blue moon, so therefore this match is a good thing for us. Look at it this way, we could have faced anyone, but instead we get Ryan Wilson and Lexi, two people that I have had more than enough experience with for one lifetime. I watched as Adam had to deal with Lexi and Ryan on more than one occasion last year. I saw Lewi ruin Adams’ big opportunity at Dia Del Diablo with her foolish flirtations. Adam dealt with them the only way he knew, but now it’s our turn. To deal with them the only way we know. By giving them a whole syringes worth of reality, the full dose. And by the time we are through, that disease is going to be well and truly wiped out, never to return. The three of us, we are this companies’ future. Always trust your doctor. They know best. Come on Sheridan, we have commentary duties now.
Sheridan Muller: Right behind you.
Mikaela Street: Thank you Beth… and good luck with the wedding.
(Bethany nods, Sheridan and Adam follow her as they all walk away toward the ring, cutting to a commercial break.)
(As it comes back from commercial break, “Enemy” by Sevendust starts to fade as Dr. Bethany Blue and Sheridan, better known as The Prescription, the Unified Tag Team Champions settle down at the commentary booth position.)
Gavin Kirkland: It’s the Doctor!
Dr. Bethany Blue: Don;t you mean Thiccany?
Gavin Kirkland: Uhhh….
Deadprez: Good to have you here, Champs!
Sheridan Muller: Thank you, wait… he calls you Thiccany?
(Sheridan doesn;t look at all pleased as Gavin tries to smile and calm down the situation.)
(‘Mr. Brightside’ by The Killers plays through the arena as Lexi walks out of the titantron. She looks down the ring, focused and determined to win. Lexi enters the ring and begins posing in the middle of it.)
Gina Romano: This match is scheduled for one fall with a 20 minute time limit! Introducing first, from Detroit, Michigan— THE MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUN, LEXI CHAMBERS!
(”The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ by Mick Gordon hits as Ryan Wilson walks out, accompanied by Miss Demi Knorr. Gina is interrupted before she can announce, as Miss Demi Knorr steps up to the plate to do so.)
Miss Demi Knorr: Ladies and Gentlemen my name is Miss Demi Knorr! Now, introducing from Montréal, Québec, Canada! Weighing in at 220 pounds! He is the Archivist! RYAN… JOSEPH… WILSON!!!
(‘The Lazy Song’ by Bruno Mars replaces Ryan’s theme song as Mary St. Atlas walks out to cheers. She walks down the entrance ramp and right into the ring.)
Gina Romano: AND THEIR OPPONENTS, FROM ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI — SHE IS THE MOST WANTED, MARY ST. ATLAS!.
(‘Bilgewater’ by the Brown Bird replaces the ‘Lazy Song’ as Lila Vandran walks out to mixed reactions. Lila walks down the entrance ramp and enters the ring, same way as Mary.)
Gina Romano: AND HER PARTNER, FROM MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE — SHE IS THE DEVOUT DEVIL, LILA VANDRAN!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(Gavin awkwardly stares at Sheridan, offering the microphone. Bethany, however, takes the microphone off his hands.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: AND WE ARE OFF! WOO! IT FEELS GOOD TO BE ON COMMENTARY, DOESN’T IT!?
Gavin Kikrland: YEEESSSSS BESSTTTTIIEE!
Dr Bethany Blue: We are not close like that. Don’t ever do that again, please.
Gavin Kirkland: Awww….. But we will always have the sock right?
(Sheridan hears that and shields Bethany, always protective of her, staring into Gavin’s literal soul, scaring her and Eve. Deadprez, however, doesn’t really seem to care.)
Deadprez: Gavin… you might one to stop. Let’s focus on the match at hand, aight?
Gavin Kirkland: Sure.
Eve: Ryan and Lexi are trying to figure out who to send first, but Mary and Lila end up being united with their decision! Mary decides to go in first, as Lexi decides to go in first as well! Both ladies are circling the ring, and as we know— they’re both extremely HOT headed competitors, fighting whenever they feel like it! Lexi and Mary get into a lockup, the both of them damn near evenly matched in terms of size and strength! Lexi, however, manages to push her against the rope adjacent to Ryan Wilson’s position! Ryan is looking on and he’s furious! Lexi is looking at him with a smug look, and she’s just unloading chops down on Mary St. Atlas! Mary is taking those shots, and Lexi lands a kick down her stomach! Lexi is taking control of this match from the get-go, and Mary has no escape! Lexi jumps up and lands a heavy knee into her jaw! Lexi rushes in for a European Uppercut— IT CONNECTS!
Deadprez: AND NOW IT’S JUST LEXI LANDING HEAVY SHOTS! SHE’S SWITCHING STANCES AND LANDING WILD WINDMILL SHOTS, AND MARY IS JUST EATING THEM ALL! LEXI DOES A SMALL CARTWHEEL AND NOW SHE’S CELEBRATING IN FRONT OF LILA! LILA IS FURIOUS, BUT SHE CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! LEXI RUSHES INTO MARY WITH A MASSIVE BOOT TO THE FACE! THE BOOT TO THE FACE CONNECTS AND LEXI IS MAINTAINING HER EARLY DOMINANCE! LEXI IS OUT FOR BLOOD!
Dr. Bethany Blue: Lexi is just looking to best three people in one match! Those two irrelevant little Barbie dolls, and one extremely and horribly bearded man, I can say that about Ryan, we know each other a little too well. Oh, did I see this coming, Sher? I saw this coming. I’m just that smart. The E.O.E. is that much of a genius, and that’s no surprise.
(Gavin looks at Bethany Blue, but Sheri gives him the side eye.)
Gavin Kirkland: ANYWAYS— LEXI IS JUST TRYING TO KEEP THIS MATCH IN HER FAVOR! LEXI PICKS HER UP, GETS HER INTO A STANDING POSITION AND HOOKS HER UNDER FOR A SUPLEX! LEXI GETS UP ON HER FEET AND NOW SHE’S RAINING DOWN HEAVY BLOWS! LEXI IS GOING AT THIS LIKE A DOG, AND RIGHT NOW— MARY HAS NO SPACE TO BREATHE! SHE HAS TO PULL OUT A HAIL, wait for it, MARY IN ORDER TO EVEN SURVIVE THE PAIN THAT LEXI IS JUST RAINING DOWN ON HER! IT’S NOT LOOKING VERY GOOD FOR HER RIGHT NOW! LEXI IS RAINING DOWN PUNCHES FROM A GROUND AND POUND POSITION— BUT WAIT! MARY MANAGES TO BRIDGE UNDERNEATH INTO A ROLLUP! SHE GOES FOR THE COVER! THE SHOULDERS ARE DOWN, BUT THIS IS A LAST MINUTE MOVE!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNEE!
TWWWWOOOOO!
Eve: KICKOUT BY LEXI! LEXI KICKS OUT, BUT MARY TRANSITIONS OUT OF A POTENTIAL HOLD AND JUMPS UP FOR A LEG DROP! SHE’S LOOKING TO BRING THE MATCH BACK TO HER FAVOR, AND LILA IS IN THE CORNER! SHE HAS HER ARM STRETCHED OUT AND MARY MIGHT HAVE TO LOOK FOR THE TAG RIGHT HERE! LEXI ISN’T STRETCHING HER HAND OUT RIGHT NOW, CLEARLY A SIGN OF MISTRUST!
Dr. Bethany Blue: Stupid move, don’t you think— Sher?
Sheridan Muller: Yes, partner..
Eve: I like the happy energy we’re all having today! It’s so rejuvenating and it’s so fun! I love this! Hippie jippie woo! MARY IS TRYING TO REACH LILA, LEXI IS SEEING HOW CLOSE SHE IS, AND NOW SHE’S LOOKING TO MAKE THE TAG— WHO CAN GET IT FIRST? WHO CAN GET THE TAG FIRST? LEXI OR MARY? BOTH LILA AND RYAN HAVE THEIR HANDS OUT WIDE, AND MARY SEEMS TO BE GOING CLOSER—
Eve: BUT WAIT! LEXI PUSHES CLOSER AND SHE’S MOVING IN WITH INTENSE SPEED!
Eve: No, Mary is getting closer—
Gavin Kirkland: THE BOTH OF THEM MAKE THE TAG AT THE EXACT SAME TIME! RYAN AND LILA ENTER THE RING AND THEY’RE NOW CLUBBING AT EACH OTHER! RYAN GETS THE UPPER HAND AND THROWS LILA AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE THAT LEXI IS ON! RYAN STRIKES HER WITH A RUNNING FOREARM, BUT LEXI DOESN’T EVEN BOTHER HELPING! RYAN JUST KEEPS UNLOADING OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND LILA HAS HER BACK AGAINST THE WALL! RYAN, HOWEVER, IS VISIBLY FRUSTRATED WITH HIS TAG TEAM PARTNER’S ATTITUDE! LEXI HAS A SMUG LOOK ON HER FACE AND SHE’S LETTING RYAN DO ALL THE WORK! RYAN IS JUST UNLOADING, BUT EVENTUALLY HE SNAPS!
Ryan Wilson: (off-mic) WHY WON’T YOU HELP?
Lexi: (off-mic) Shut up, Ryan.
Deadprez: AND LILA TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THIS ONE SLIPUP! SHE, WITH ALL HER MASSIVE MECHANIC FORCE, SLAPPED RYAN WILSON IN THE FACE! THE QUEBEC NATIVE IS ANGERED AS HE TRIES TO THROW A PUNCH, BUT LILA DUCKS IT AND SHOVES HIM AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE! SHE RAMS HER KNEE INTO HIS FACE, AND LEXI IS SLOWLY REALISING THAT SHE NEEDS TO HELP! LEXI ATTEMPTS TO TAG HERSELF IN, BUT LILA CATCHES THE HAND AND SHOVES HER OFF THE APRON! LEXI LANDS ON HER FEET! LILA’S LANDING HEAVY ELBOWS INTO THE SKULL OF RYAN WILSON, AND IT’S SEEMING TO WORK! SHOT AFTER SHOT AFTER SHOT AND HE’S ALMOST DOWN! RYAN IS DOWN AND LEXI IS HOLDING HER HEAD DOWN AS WELL! LILA IS DRIVING HER FOOT INTO HIS SKULL, AND SHE’S PRESSING ON IT LIKE IT’S A GODDAMN GAS PEDAL! THE REFEREE BEGINS THE FIVE SECOND COUNT!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNEE!
TTTTWWWWWWWWOOO!
THREEEEE!
Sheridan Muller: She breaks the count.
(Gavin turns to Sheridan and tries to place her hands around her cheeks.)
Sheridan Muller: Touch me and you’ll never use your hands anymore.
Deadprez: Well, you heard the girl. LILA GIVES RYAN A MOMENT TO BREATHE WITH A CELEBRATION, BUT LITTLE DOES SHE KNOW THAT LEXI MADE THE TAG! LILA TRIES TO LAND ANOTHER SHOT FROM HER KNEE TO RYAN IN THE CORNER, BUT RYAN DODGES IT! LEXI LANDS AN ELBOW ON HER FACE, AND SHE SPRINGBOARDS OFF WITH A KNEE! SHE’S ROLLING INTO LILA, AND LEXI CONNECTS WITH A SLAP TO THE FACE! LEXI TAKES HER DOWN WITH A HURRICANRANA, AND LILA IS DOWN! LEXI SPRINGBOARDS OFF INTO A POWERFUL SENTON BOMB! SHE’S GOING FOR THE COVER! LILA’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN RIGHT HERE! CAN LEXI DO THIS? THE REFEREE BEGINS THE COUNT!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNEE!
TTTTWWWWWWWWOOO!
THRRRRREEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: KICKOUT! KICKOUT BY LILA VANDRAN! WOW, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT, BETHANY? I CAN DO THAT TOO! I CAN KICK OUT OF ANYTHING! I’M SO COOL! RIGHT, BETHANY?
Dr. Bethany Blue: I now understand why people don’t want to commentate on Showdown.
Gavin Kirkland: Aww.
Deadprez: Me personally, I would just shut up. That’s just me personally, though. I don’t know about you, Gavin.
Sheridan Muller: Stop.
Deadprez: Damn, girl. Aight. LEXI PICKS LILA UP, AND SHE’S LANDING MUAY THAI KNEES TO HER JAW! LILA IS STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW, BUT LILA MANAGES TO PUSH HER AGAINST THE ROPES! LILA HAS MOMENTUM NOW, AND SO DOES LEXI! LEXI RUNS OFF THE ROPES, LILA TRIES TO THROW A CLOTHESLINE BUT LEXI DUCKS IT! LILA IS STUNNED AND LEXI LANDS A RUNNING BULLDOG! THE RUNNING BULLDOG CONNECTS AND NOW LILA IS DOWN! LEXI CARTWHEELS INTO A TAG FROM RYAN WILSON! RYAN AND LEXI NOD AT EACH OTHER, BUT RIGHT NOW— WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THIS COOPERATION IS GOING TO LAST? LEXI WAITS FOR LILA TO THROW SOMETHING, AND SHE DUCKS UNDERNEATH! RYAN MEETS HER WITH AN ELBOW, AND HE JUMPS OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A LEAPING CLOTHESLINE! RYAN PULLS HER IN FOR A SUPLEX, AND IT CONNECTS! THE SUPLEX CONNECTS AND RYAN IS LOOKING FOR A DDT, AND IT ALSO CONNECT-
Eve: BUT NO! IT DOES NOT CONNECT AT ALL! RYAN IS SHOVED INTO THE CORNER OF MARY AND LILA, AND MARY MAKES THE BLIND TAG! LILA HITS HIM ONCE, BUT MARY PULLS HIS HEAD INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! RYAN IS STUNNED? MARY RUNS INTO THE ROPES AND SHE TRANSITIONS INTO A SLING BLADE! THE SLING BLADE CONNECTS AND RYAN IS DOWN! MARY IS LOOKING FOR THE COVER RIGHT HERE! THIS COULD BE IT! THIS COULD VERY WELL BE THE MATCH FINISHER! RYAN IS DOWN, THE SHOULDERS ARE DOWN AND THE REFEREE BEGINS THE COUNT!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNEE!
TTWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEE!
Dr. Bethany Blue: AND RYAN KICKS OUT! WOW! THAT’S SURPRISING! I DIDN’T KNOW THAT THE TWO OF THEM COULD WORK SO WELL TOGETHER! Oop— he’s rolling out of the ring and Lexi is coming to his aid. I wonder what they’re going to address here! This match has been so good so far, I’m loving it!
Sheridan Muller: I am too.
Gavin Kirkland: AND LEXI HELPS RYAN STAND UP! MARY IS WAITING FOR THEM TO GET BACK IN THE RING, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE BOTH OF THEM ARE TALKING TO EACH OTHER! THEY WANT TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE, AND PERHAPS THIS IS THE WAY TO GO ABOUT IT? THAT, I’M NOT ENTIRELY SURE OF YET. RYAN AND LEXI LOOK CALM, SO THIS IS GOING TO INDEED BE INTERESTING! CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE BOTH OF THEM HAVE IN STORE RIGHT NOW!
Lexi: (off-mic) Ryan. Ryan, look at me. This doesn’t look good in front of those two idiots hiding up in commentary. We both want to win, right? You want to win. I want to win. We want to send a message and this, all this— isn’t going to help us do that. Let’s get in there and kick their butts. We’re Team Dysfunctional for a reason. We’re going to leave their brains dysfunctional.
(Ryan nods in agreement, as the two of them make their way inside. Ryan gets the tag, hyped up and ready for war.)
Deadprez: Whatever they said to each other, it might be working! The both of them look in sync, and Ryan Wilson has the looker of a damn killer in his eyes. That man will take your head off, no question. Ryan is circling the ring with Mary, and they’re engaging in a test of strength— pretty unfair if you ask me! Ryan just tossed her around like a ragdoll, and with a new viciousness, he just kicks Mary’s head off with a devastating soccer kick! Ryan is on a rampage right now, and he’s looking to continue it! Ryan lifts Mary up over his head, and throws her down! He’s looking for the Blue Thunder Bomb, or as he calls it, the La Bombe Bleu! It connects! The La Bombe Bleu connects and Mary is out! Maybe this is it right here! Can Ryan put her out for good!
OOOONNNEEE!
TTTTWWWWWWWWOOO!
THREEEEEEEEE-
Dr. Bethany Blue: Great. Lila really has to interrupt. I’ll take over commentary from here, Gavin.
(Gavin nods, slightly drooling in the presence of one of the hottest women in EAW.)
Sheridan Muller: Wipe your mouth.
(Gavin wipes his mouth with a towel.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: AND LILA’S NOW JUST INTERRUPTING! THE REFEREE HAS TO PULL HER OFF, BUT SHE’S JUST GOING AT RYAN! HE, HOWEVER, IS JUST EATING THOSE SHOTS LIKE A MADMAN! RYAN GRABS HER BY THE THIGH, AND HE POWERBOMBS HER TO THE OUTSIDE! LILA JUST FELL ON HER BACK, AND RIGHT NOW— RYAN FEELS AS IF IT’S HIS MOMENT TO WIN! HE SEES THE OPPORTUNITY, AND HE ATTEMPTS A SHARPSHOOTER! THIS COULD BE IT FOR MOST WANTED RIGHT HERE! HE’S HOOKING THOSE LEGS AND WRENCHING THEM BACK WITH EASE, HOLY HELL!
Dr. Bethany Blue: I did better than all three of you. Do better.
Gavin Kirkland: Y-yes, Bethany.
Sheridan Muller: DOCTOR…. DOCTOR Bethany Blue.
Gavin Kirkland: Yes… Doctor.
Eve: MARY IS TRYING TO REACH FOR THE ROPES, AND LILA IS STILL OUT! SHE MIGHT HAVE TO GET CREATIVE HERE! MARY IS TRYING TO FORCE HERSELF TO GRAB HOLD OF A ROPE, AND SHE DOES! RYAN HAS TO LET GO, ANGRILY AT THAT! RYAN LET’S GO, BUT HE GRABS HER BY THE WAIST AND TOSSES HER OVERHEAD FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! HE’S LOOKING TO SEND A MESSAGE TO YOU, BETHANY. I WONDER WHAT HE HAS IN STORE RIGHT NOW? RYAN’S STALKING A DOWNED MARY, AND HE PULLS HER UP! SHE’S BEING PUT IN A CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB POSITION, BUT SHE’S TRYING TO FIGHT HER WAY OUT OF IT! SHE MANAGES TO FIGHT HER WAY OUT OF IT, AND RIGHT NOW, SHE’S JUST BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF RYAN WILSON! SHE’S KICKING HIM, BUT IT TAKES A FEW ATTEMPTS UNTIL HE’S FAZED! PELE KICK BY MARY ST. ATLAS! RYAN WILSON STAGGERS BACK, AND LEXI TAGS HERSELF IN! WHAT IS SHE LOOKING FOR RIGHT HERE? LEXI RUNS INTO MARY, BUT MARY CATCHES WIND AND HITS HER WITH A CUTTER! THE CUTTER CULTURE CONNECTS AND LEXI IS OUT! MARY IS LOOKING FOR THE COVER, BUT RYAN IS STILL FRESH! CAN SHE DO IT?
Dr. Bethany Blue: C’mon, humble those idiots.
Deadprez: SHE HAS THE SHOULDERS DOWN, AND THE REFEREE SEES THAT! HE’S STARTING THE COUNT RIGHT HERE! COULD IT BE? COULD MARY PULL OFF ONE OF THE BIGGEST UPSETS OF HER ENTIRE CAREER? I GUESS WE’LL NEVER KNOW. THE REFEREE IS STARTING THE COUNT!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNEE!
TTTTWWWWWWWWOOO!
THRRRRREEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT SHE KICKS OUT! LEXI KICKS OUT RIGHT HERE AND SHE’S RAINING DOWN BLOWS FROM HER ELBOWS ONTO MARY ST. ATLAS! SHE’S LOOKING TO QUITE LITERALLY FINISH HER OFF IN THIS VERY MOMENT, AND RIGHT NOW— IT’S LOOKING LIKE SHE MIGHT BE ABLE TO! LEXI IS A HELL OF A LOT BIGGER THAN MARY, AND SHE LIFTS HER UP ON HER SHOULDERS! IS SHE LOOKING FOR IT? I THINK SHE IS! LEXI IS LOOKING FOR THE BLOODSHOT—
AND IT CONNECTS! THE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER CONNECTS RIGHT HERE! SHE’S GOING FOR THE COVER NOW! CAN SHE FINISH IT?
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNEE!!
TTTTWWWWWWWWOOO!
THRRRRREEEEEEE-
Eve: AND LILA INTERRUPTS AGAIN! SHE’S TRYING TO RAIN DOWN BLOWS ON LEXI, BUT RYAN STEPS IN AND LANDS A DEVASTATING SUPERKICK TO LILA VANDRAN! SHE’S ROLLED OUT OF THE RING, AND RIGHT NOW, IT’S LOOKING LIKE MARY MIGHT BE THE BRUNT OF IT ALL! LILA ROLLS BACK IN, HOWEVER, AND SHE PULLS MARY TO THE CORNER, JUMPS OVER THE ROPE AND TAGS HERSELF IN! NOW LILA’S LEGAL IN ONE OF THE MOST CREATIVE WAYS! BOTH RYAN AND LEXI ARE AMAZED, BUT IT’S CUT SHORT BY A DIVING CLOTHESLINE ONTO THE BOTH OF THEM! NOW THE BOTH OF THEM ARE DOWN, AND LILA ROLLS LEXI OUT OF THE RING? WHAT? LEXI’S THE LEGAL ONE, AND SHE’S PINNING RYAN! RYAN ISN’T LEGAL AND THE REFEREE DOESN’T MAKE THE COUNT, BUT LEXI ROLLS BACK IN AND LANDS A SHOT TO HER HEAD!
Lexi: (off-mic) You want to be a hero? You’ll die like one.
Eve: AND RYAN ROLLS OUT, LEXI ROLLED IN AND NOW IT’S LEXI JUST RAINING DOWN SHOTS ON HER! SHE LIFTS HER UP IN A DEATH VALLEY DRIVER POSITION, AND THE BLOODSHOT CONNECTS ON LILA VANDRAN! LEXI IS ON A ROLL! SHE’S NOT LOOKING FOR THE PIN YET, THOUGH— SHE WANTS TO MAKE HER FEEL THE MOST PAIN SHE WILL EVER FEEL IN A LONG TIME! LEXI GETS HER INTO A BLACK WIDOW POSITION, AND SHE PULLS BACK! THE LEXI LOCK CONNECTS AND NOW LILA MIGHT HAVE TO TAP OUT RIGHT HERE! SHE’S REACHING FOR THE ROPES, BUT IT’S NOT WORKING! LEXI IS TOO STRONG TO LET THAT HAPPEN! LEXI PULLS HER IN, AND SHE’S DOING IT EVEN HARDER THAN BEFORE! THIS MIGHT BE THE END OF LILA VANDRAN RIGHT HERE—
Gavin Kirkland: BUT IT’S NOT! LILA MANAGES TO GET TO THE ROPES! HOWEVER, RYAN’S ALREADY IN! THEY’RE LOOKING TO COMBINE FINISHERS IN A LAST DITCH EFFORT TO PUT THESE WOMEN OUT! RYAN GETS LILA INTO A REAR NAKED CHOKE, LEXI THROWS MARY INTO A BARRICADE AND ROLLS BACK INSIDE, AND LEXI HOLDS ONTO THE HEAD FOR THE STANDING SHIRANUI! RYAN LET GO JUST IN TIME! AND NOW IT’S LEXI GOING FOR THE PIN! THIS COULD BE IT RIGHT HERE! THE REFEREE BEGINS LE COUNT! THE SHOULDERS ARE DOWNN!!!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNEE!
TTTTWWWWWWWWOOO!
THRRRRREEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: TEAM DYSFUNCTIONAL— WAIT! BETHANY AND SHERIDAN ARE RUSHING INTO THE RING! THEY’RE LOOKING TO SETTLE A SCORE, AND RYAN AND LEXI ARE BACK TO BACK RIGHT NOW! SHERIDAN IS EYEING DOWN RYAN, AND BETHANY IS EYEING LEXI! BOTH RYAN PUTS HIS HANDS UP AND LEAVES THE RING AS DOES LEXI!
Deadprez: They are backing down!? WHY? This is interesting but a huge win for both as The Prescription hold up their Tag Team Championships while Team Dysfunctional starts walking toward the back.
(‘Mr. Brightside’ by The Killers hit as Lexi and Ryan Wilson raise their hands in unison. The crowd both boos and cheers all four of them on, as they disappear to the back. An ad for Dead Men Tell No Tales begins to play.)
(The camera pans to the backstage area which shows Kassidy Heart already in her wrestling gear ready for the Main Event tonight. The door opens and this time it isn’t her walking into Hurricane Hawk’s office, it is him walking into hers along with Heidi Huxley…)
Hurricane Hawk: I need a second of your time.
Kassidy Heart: I’m busy.
Heidi Huxley: while we are all aware of your marriage to the chairman, that doesn’t give you the ring to walk around here and disrespect the deal your husband and Disney put into place, that is not a very good look. So, I suggest that you take a moment of your time to listen to what needs to be addressed.
(Kassidy slowly lifts her head, glaring right into the eyes of Heidi Huxley but doesn’t say anything, instead just glares at her.)
Heidi Huxley: We saw your stunt last night, neither of us were aware that you were going to make an appearance on Dynasty and call out Serena Bennett. Now, listen very closely, what happened last week was tragic and unnecessary, that should have been an incredible moment had Andrea Valentine won and a great one for Disney as well, but we all saw what happened.
Hurricane Hawk: And we get it, you’re upset after the agreement you came up with Andrea and after all that has happened between you two, great, but that doesn’t give you the right to take justice into your own hands, Kassidy. Do you remember last season when I had the police Taser you? This was not what I wanted then or now. There was always going to be that chance Andrea didn’t defeat Harper Lee and then what? Personally speaking, your revenge plots are of no concern of mine and truthfully after what happened to StarrStan thanks to you, I will not tolerate this behavior anymore. If you want to start calling your own shots, that’s fine, but I will not have you jumping brand to brand causing absolute hell!
Heidi Huxley: Heck.
Hurricane Hawk: Right… Heck.
(Kassidy continues staring at them, this time biting down on her jaw and clenching her fists….)
Heidi Huxley: You are a valued member of the Showdown roster and your contributions to the EAW have been career defining and a legacy that can never be challenged or mirrored in anyway, but that doesn’t mean that you get to walk around here and do whatever you want because it fits your agenda, that is not happening.
(Slowly getting off her seat, Kassidy doesn’t take her eyes off Heidi Huxley, she walks toward her when Hurricane Hawk gets between both….)
Hurricane Hawk: You need to get over Pain For Pride and…..
(SLAM!)
(Kassidy Heart grabs Hurricane Hawk and slams him against the lockers….)
Kassidy Heart: DON’T YOU EVER (BLEEP) TELL ME TO GET OVER ANY (BLEEP) THING DO YOU (BLEEP) UNDERSTAND!? SERENA BENNETT IS LUCK SHE IS HIDING BEHIND THOSE OTHER TWO OVERRATED LOSERS! SHE IS LUCKY THAT SHE IS NOT HERE TONIGHT! BUT I DON’T GIVE A FLYING (BLEEP) WHAT YOU OR THIS (BLEEP) THINK SHE IS, YOU WILL NEVER AND I MEAN EVER CONTROL ME! I AM EXACTLY WHAT THIS (BLEEP) COMPANY NEEDS AND I SHOULD BE THE ONE LEADING TEAM SHOWDOWN INTO ANARCHY IN THE ARENA BUT INSTEAD I HAVE TO KILL A (BLEEP) IN A CAGE FIRST! DON’T YOU EVER PUSH AGAIN. DO YOU UNDERSTAND!? AS FOR YOU!?
(She lets go of Hurricane Hawk who stands there fixing his suit and glares right at Heidi….)
Kassidy Heart: I don’t give a (BLEEP) what deal Disney has with us or my husband, this is about ME! You are so worried about your precious Disney and family friendly stuff? Fine, then you and Hawk send a message AGAIN to Tyrone Montgomery in case he didn’t understand last night… “You take away from me!? Then I will take away from you!” … clear!?
Heidi Huxley: Crystal.
(Kassidy doesn’t say another word and storms out, leaving Heidi and Hawk glaring at one another a bit miffed as the camera switches to another part of the arena where Ryan Wilson is trying to talk to Lexi….)
Ryan Wilson: TAMARAK! Chemistry!? We had chemistry! Don’t you see it, Alexis!?!?
Lexi: It’s Lexi! Look, you tried to kill me with Ronan after Bethany and I saved your job! Then you fired me, dude! That is one of the reasons I am no longer with her, she thought I was a failure after that and it’s not cool! I don’t care what you think, what chemistry we have! I want the tag titles and I don’t want you as a partner!
(Ryan Wilson shakes his head, he can see that there is a gold mine between these two….)
Ryan Wilson: Look, the past is the past, you need to let that go so you can grow and get better, I mean come on! Listen to me closely, I know that this is very upsetting, but we have the chance to be champions and you can show Bethany that you were not the weak link and I can show her that everything I ever did was in her best interest as a General Manager. We have a plan, you and I can both agree it’s about taking out the other one! Lexi…. We have something good working here!
Lexi: We? Nah…. I’m only teaming up with you because I want gold. I am not your partner, we are not friends, you are not getting close to me…. Ewwww!
Ryan Wilson: You need to trust me and……
Lexi: NO! I will not……
(Suddenly they are interrupted…..)
Chris Elite: Ahem….
(Both turn around and see Chris Elite standing in the doorway with his wrestling gear on ready to compete shortly. Both Ryan and Lexi look a bit confused, turning toward Elite….)
Ryan Wilson: Chris? Hi… we are in the middle of something here.
Lexi: Yeah…. So…. uh… fudge off.
Chris Elite: Maybe I am making a mistake, maybe I am not, but I could be looking at the next EAW Unified Tag Team Champions and if I am or even if I am not, I don’t know if you two have been really paying too much attention but I am the Captain of Team Showdown’s Brand Warfare team and I really want to put the best team out there. I already saw what Dynasty did, what Voltage started to do, and I am pleased to already have both Donovan Duke and Jon Kelton on my team…. See?
(Donovan Duke and Jon Kelton both flank him side by side. Ryan Wilson nods as Lexi rolls her eyes.)
Chris Elite: These two are battling for the National Elite Championship but they are willing to put differences aside to fight against the other two brands.
Donovan Duke: He’s right, Jon and I are competitors but we know that Showdown last year under performed and could have really taken it all home, but this time we feel a lot better about it. The only way we are going to win is by filling up the last two spots.
Jon Kelton: Yeah what they said. I don’t think none of us like each other, but that doesn’t mean we are not competitors. So seriously, listen to this man’s pitch.
(Ryan folds his arms, Lexi sighs….)
Lexi: Come on…. We don’t have all day!?
Ryan Wilson: What is it?
Chris Elite: This match means a lot to me, you were in it last year for Voltage Ryan and Lexi, you have never competed in this match but you defended Ryan on Showdown a few years ago in a match like it and survived, even going up against Jon here.
Lexi: Don’t remind me.
Chris Elite: Yeah… so anyway, I have more spots to fill, and let’s just say that it’s yours if you want it.
(Ryan and Lexi both look surprised, they turn to each other and Lexi again sighs, but she shrugs her shoulders…..)
Lexi: Sure… whatever, I’m in.
Ryan Wilson: Why….. YES!!!!
Chris Elite: You said “yes” very loud and kinda creepy, we are going to go now and I have a match, so…. Uh…. welcome to the team.
(He slaps hands with Lexi and when Ryan tries to get a high five, Chris looks at him a bit funny and walks away, Lexi shakes her head and leaves after them as Ryan waves with a huge smile on his face…)
Ryan Wilson: You made the right choice!
(The camera continues to show Ryan smiling as it slowly fades to ringside.)
(Saturday Night Showdown comes back to the arena to show Stephie Love standing in the ring with a smile on her face. )
Stephie Love: The following singles match is a contest scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Stephie Love: With a 20 minutes time limit!
(“44 Bulldog” by Pop Smoke starts playing throughout the arena as Chris Elite enters the arena to loud cheers from the crowd. He takes a quick second to just stare directly at the ring before heading down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTrODUCING FIRST! From Brooklyn, New York. Weighing in at 210 pounds. Here is “GAWD… GIVEN… GREATNESS” CHRIS ELITE!
Deadprez: Here comes Showdown’s Captain for Territorial Invasion’s Brand Warfare! Last week he added Jon Kelton and Donovan Duke to his group!
Gavin Kirkland: Tonight however he has to face someone his partner is let’s saw very familiar with.
( ‘Zetsubousei: Hero Chiryouyaka [DR Version]’ by Soraru plays over the sound system as Holly Arrow makes her way down to the stage to a positive reaction from the crowd. Holly gives friendly look from the stage and then continues to make her way over to the ring. )
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT! From Christchurch, New Zealand!!! Weighing in at 149 pounds!!!… She is ‘THE FINAL GIRL’ HOLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY… ARROWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: You best relate to Disney this time Gavin.
Gavin Kirkland: Woah you remember from her last match? Okay uh… Here comes my favorite Disney Princess?
Eve giggles: Her last time out was victorious against Abel Atami, I still remember her crazy laugh which startled him. She is in for a challenge against one of the best Showdown has to offer tonight. This will be fun!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Deadprez: They are beginning to circle one another following the handshake and the hug with Holly going for the clinch which Chris indulges! Both are working to gain the upper hand with Holly succeeding with a headlock but not for long as Chris reverses with a wrist lock! Both are moving and maneuvering to counter the other, Holly then Chris and Arrow now in command but no Elite just reversed which the crowd is cheering on for once they both stop and glance at each other!
Gavin Kirkland: This is an interesting way to start the match but they will need to do more than counter moves, wrist locks, and takedowns if they want to win over the other tonight!
Deadprez: They engage in a clinch once again, this time Chris moving into a wrist lock which is returned after Holly got a foot behind one of Chris’ knees gaining control before getting reversed by Elite! Arrow rolls to the floor able to be free from Chris with an arm drag! Chris charges at Holly but is taken down with a drop toe hold before going for a wrist lock. Holly frees herself and goes back to a standing position this is a fascinating start of a match between these two!
Eve: Agreed! Both go for a clinch once again BUT it HOLLY GOES FOR A ROLL-UP! WHICH IS COUNTERED BY CHRIS WHO MOVES AND PINS ARROW’S SHOULDERS ON THE MAT! BUT SHE MOVES BEFORE THE OFFICIAL COULD START THE COUNT NOW PINNING CHRIS’ SHOULDERS DOWN! WOAH NOW THEY MOVED IN A WAY WHERE THEY BOTH HAVE THEIR SHOULDERS ON THE MAT!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: And both lifts their shoulders up! What an unusual way to start the match but the fans sure seem to enjoy the level of competitiveness we are seeing right out of the gate between two opponents who respect each other.
Deadprez: Holly Arrow is now on the offensive with a series of forearm strikes to Chris forcing him into a corner followed by some palm strikes and then an Irish whip into the ropes. Holly waits for Elite and nails him clean with a discus back elbow that brings Elite down! He gets up quickly however and Holly forces him to bend forward with a knee strike! She then pulls off a hasty leg lariat!
Eve: She continues her offence with a calf kick before throwing her weight into a Spinning Gut Kick right at Chris that connects perfectly! She presses on with a shoot kick that lands on target
Gavin Kirkland: The Final Girl is waiting for her opponent to get up to his feet before delivering a resounding ROUNDHOUSE KICK WICH BRINGS DOWN ELITE ONCE MORE! The two of them are friendly but she doesn’t want to go easy on Elite and it shows! I’m sure Elite thinks the same way he is brought to his feet and whipped into a corner.
Deadprez: Arrow with a corner European Uppercut followed by a back elbow AND FINISHED WITH A SNAPMARE DROPKICK! That is one of her combos she uses on her opponents and it was fully thrown at Chris Elite! She goes to the opposite corner before running at him WITH A FOREARM SMASH! She goes at the opposite corner again, once more running hard AND THROWS HERSELF INTO A CORNER HIP ATTACK!!
Eve: Holly trying to make a statement through her work inside the ring right now AS SHE APPLIES A JUMPING METEORA TO CHRIS!! He is stunned! She parts ways with him before going back and bringing him to the center of the ring BEFORE PERFORMING A MONKEY FLIP SENDING HIM TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER! She then quickly makes it to the ropes after whipping him on the opposite set AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY AND TURNS IT INTO A ROLL-UP!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Not enough! But it was a worthwhile effort though!
Deadprez: It sure was as she moves off of Elite and helps him get to his feet so she quickly snoops behind him AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! He stays down on his butt sitting on the ground and Arrow stands behind him SETTING THEM BOTH FOR A FULL NELSON! SHE FORCES HIM TO HIS FEET BEFORE EXECUTING THE SLAM THAT SURPRISED CHRIS!! What action from Holly as Chris is slowly moving to his knees.
Eve: Holly drives in a kick to the chest and then sends another one in then a third and a fourth!! Chris it taking the brunt of it BEFORE GRABBING AT HER LEG AND TRIES FOR A LEGDRAG! It works but Arrow used the momentum of motion to end up back to her feet AND BRING CHRIS DOWN WITH A NECK BREAKER!! Quick kip up from the agile girl just as Chris was moving vertically.
Gavin Kirkland: She throws a boot to his gut AND GRABS HIM FOR A DDT!!! No! He blocks it AND SHE SWITCHES THINGS UP!! BULLDOG ON CHRIS ELITE FOLLOWED BY A QUICK COVER!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: No! Chris refuses to end the match this way!
Eve: Holly doesn’t seem annoyed but she has done good work so far, she needs to keep the pressure if she wants to have a chance to win against Jake’s tag team partner! She picks up Chris and then swiftly sends him down with a scoop slam BEFORE THROWING HERSELF ON HIM WITH A STANDING FROG SPLASH!!
Gavin Kirkland: AND SHE QUICKLY MOVES ELITE TO HIS BELLY AND GOES FOR A CROSSFACE!! SHE IS TRYING TO FORCE HIM TO SUBMIT!! SHE’S PULLING WITH EVERYTHING SHE GOT AS CHRIS IS SCREAMING IN PAIN!
Deadprez: Unfortunately for Holly, Chris manages to grab at some ropes but not without some effort to carry himself and her towards the safety of the ropes! She goes off of him and waits for him to get back up before she throws an oblique kick to his legs forcing him to take a knee before she moves to hop on him AND FLIPS HIM INTO A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!!!! WHAT IMPACT! SHE HOOKS THE LEGS!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: How did Elite kick out of that one??
Gavin Kirkland: No Idea but he did! Go Holly!! Keep going, you’re doing great!!
Deadprez: She is, but she needs to push the envelope a bit more in order to secure the win, but this is off to a great start by her as she is now to her feet AND GOES FOR A WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER TO CHRIS IT CONNECTS!! HE’S STAGGERING BUT STILL ON HIS FEET!
Eve: Not for long as Holly Arrow takes him down with a slingblade! Arrow not wasting time going to the ropes she goes for the rolling thunder that lands! Chris backs himself into one of the corners AND GETS NAILED BY HOLLY WITH A SHOTGUN DROPKICK!!
Deadprez: Holly back to the center of the ring and the crowd enjoys her efforts, she goes back to Chris WHO TURNS HER INTO THE CORNER AND BEGIN TO UNLOAD WITH PUNCHES!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Chris Elite is on the offensive now as he goes through the motions of The Dickeatery Stopper on Holly! Throwing Mike Tyson uppercuts before following through with the Five-Borough Combo! Bam! Two punches followed by a shoot kick then added to with a back fist and concluded by a lariat that takes Holly down!!
Deadprez: Chris is prone he’s ready for his next move already as The Final Girl is working to get back to her feet BUT SHE IS TAKEN DOWN AGAIN WITH A HEAD SHOT! THE PELE KICK FROM ELITE CONNECTS WITH HOLLY ARROW WHO DROPS LIKE A LOG! The kick was precise and sharp! Elite drops to his knees and attempts a cover!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Not enough! Good attempt though as Chris is putting the pressure on his partner’s girl.
Deadprez: Elite as a good chap moves off of Holly not taking any pot shots and moves behind her as she gets to his back AND HE DEADLIFTS HER INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX!! ARROW LANDS ON THE BACK OF HER NECK and Chris doesn’t seem to be done! He gets close to Holly and picks her up for a Northern Light Suplex! This time Holly remains on her back and Elite quickly goes to the ropes.
Gavin Kirkland: SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT BY THE FORMER CHAMPION!! What execution by the Hall of Famer who then decides to quickly move topside to the nearest corner. He stands on the corner he’s calling for the 450 splash. HE GOES AIRBORNE BUT HOLLY MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AND ELITE WAS EXPECTING IT! He parkour rolled out of dodge instead of crashing down hard against the ring mat! Holly is on her feet now charging at Chris before getting kicked in the knee mid-run! Arrow drops to a knee THEN TO HER BACK AS ELITE THREW A SPINNING HEEL KICK AT HER!
Eve: HE FOLLOWS IT WITH A STANDING FROG SPLASH AND GOES FOR A COVER!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Close!!
Deadprez: Close doesn’t win the match though but yes Chris did very well right after saving himself from a world of pain after Holly ducked out of his 450 splash!
Gavin Kirkland: Elite has no intention to stop at a two count against a friend, no matter how he appreciates Holly we all know he wants nothing but the dub as he picks her up and sends her to a corner with an Irish whip which he follows quickly WITH THE HAWK EM! THE RUNNING DOUBLE KNEE RIGHT INTO HOLLY WHO WAS SITTING IN THE CORNER! He hoists her on the corner, moving up with her is he going for what I think he’s going?
Eve: Brooklyn High! The Spanish Fly!
Deadprez: Holly is trying to stop it from happening by throwing an elbow to the side of Chris’ face, she does it a second time and a third! Chris is about to let go BUT HE HEADBUTTS HARLEY BEFORE THROWING THEM BOTH TOWARDS THE GROUND WITH BROOKLYN HIIIIIIIGH!!!! They both crash down dead in the center of the ring and both looks to be hurting bad right now!
Eve: Holly holding her back while Chris is holding his stomach but he manages to move to try for a pinfall BUT Holly shoves him away! HE KICKS HER IN THE FACE NO! She rolls backwards and got up into the ropes. Chris moves against her quickly having her bounce off and run into the ropes. She hops over him as he hits the deck AND HE LIFTS HER UP INTO A SIT-UP POWERBOMB AS SHE RUNS BACK AT HIM!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! She Kicked OUT! A show of heart and resiliency by Holly Arrow who is looking to prove that she belongs with the best! With her big-time wins against the likes of Andrea Valentine and Cleopatra, a victory against Chris Elite would do wonders for her but she needs to turn the table around before he is able to put her away.
Deadprez: Speaking of Chris he is picking her off the ground looking for his next move which ends up being the Mood Swings! The Front Flip Snapmare Driver keeps Holly on the ground which is followed by an elbow drop and a few quickly thrown leg drops and then he goes to the ropes quickly running for a dropkick right into his ribs of Holly!!
Eve: Chris Elite kip-ups himself to his feet raising his arms in the air which gets a positive reaction from the crowd before hopping to a corner and waiting for Holly who is slowly getting up. What does he have in store for her? I think I have an idea! He charges forth AND THE ALMIGHTY PUSH CONNECTS! THE POUNCE ACTUALLY SENDS HOLLY OUTSIDE OF THE RING!! What a move by Chris Elite!!
( Commercial )
Gavin Kirkland: We have to go to a commercial break folks but don’t go anywhere! This incredible match and the remainder of tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Showdown will resume right after this!!

OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: AND CHRIS LIFTS THE SHOULDERS AT THE VERY LAST SECOND!!! HOLLY DOESN’T BELIEVE IT AS SHE LOOKS AT THE REFEREE!! She motions with her lead hand that it should’ve been a three but the official nods negatively.
Referee: That’s a Two Holly! Keep going!! Fight!
Gavin Kirkland: Resolved she goes up before looking at Chris for a moment, the Totem Killer was one of her best moves and Chris got out of it! Not without damages though! Holly yells that she has enough she wants to end this!!
Holly Arrow: HOLLY-GO-ROUND!!!!!
Eve: She called it folks! Her patented doving somersault senton manoeuver as she quickly hops on the nearest corner and stands atop of it! She’s waiting for Chris to get up and she leaps! BUT ELITE CAUGHT HER IN A HUG! FUSION DAAANCE!!!! THE BELLY-TO-BACK SUPLEX INTO A NECKBREAKER TAKES HOLLY DOWN!!!
Gavin Kirkland: This was an incredible opportunity for Holly but Chris turned things back to his advantage just like that! That’s how good he is but Holly is showing us tonight what’s she’s being saying for a while now! She’s showing she belongs! But she’ll need to do more! Go HOLLY!!!!!
Eve: Things aren’t too good tough for Holly as Chris moves to a corner and looks like he’s wanting to finish this.
Deadprez: Chris is setting up the table, you can tell folks he’s about to go for the kill with the Box Office Smash as Holly is slowly moving to her feet and has her back turned to Elite! She’s staggering, he is ready to strike! And he goes for it just as she begins to turn around! BOX OFF-NO!! HOLLY MOVED TO THE SIDE WITH HER ATHLETIC AGILITY AND SHE’S ALREADY BEHIND ELITE!!
Eve: He turns to meet her AND SHE’S GOING FOR AN INSIDE CRADLE!!! CHRIS LOOKS SURPRISED!!! THE REFEREE STARTS THE COUNT!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gina Romano: HEEEERE IS YOUR WINNER!!!! HOLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY… ARROWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Deadprez: WHAT… A… NAIL BITER!! HOLY COW I WAS ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT THE ENTIRE MATCH!!
Gavin Kirkland: This is a spectacular victory for Holly who used her resiliency, wit and heart to make her way through a well earned victory! Congratulations Final Girl!!!
( As we are given a final shot of Holly celebrating we see Chris move to stand before her and extends a handshake which she gladly accepts as the scene fades to a commercial ad for Territorial Invasion… )
(As it fades back from commercial break,‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics hits over the PA system and the arena is immediately filled with an avalanche of boos and jeers.)
Deadprez: Well, we know who this is, and I can guarantee that she is going to be in the best of moods.
Eve: I’d agree with that, especially after what happened last week.
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee has been a favorite of mine for a long time. She’s the Universal Women’s Champion for a reason. Quite simple, she is really that good.
(The woman herself appears at the top of the ramp, with the Universal Women’s Championship belt wrapped around her waist. She motions towards it, and wiggles her hips a little, a grin filling her face. She then makes her way down to the ramp, avoiding the fans for all she is worth and refusing to let them touch her.)
Deadprez: Harper Lee coming out here and you can bet she’ll be even more cocky than usual.
Eve: And though I hate to say it, I guess she’s earned that right. Kind of.
Deadprez: Wasn’t the cleanest of wins, but a win it was, and so the record books will say. No getting away from that.
(Harper enters the ring, and after taking a mic, unfastens the title strap and drapes it over her shoulder. She then lifts her hand, and her music starts to fade, but unfortunately for her the boos do not. She tilts her head to the side, the grin never fading, and she speaks anyway.)
Harper Lee: I know, I know. I’m so sorry.
Deadprez: What’s she sorry for?
Eve: I’ve a feeling we are about to find out.
Harper Lee: I am, truly… this emotion I am hearing coming down from the top of this arena. I feel you all.
(The boos continue, though not as loud as some of the crowd become intrigued.)
Harper Lee: But it’s not my fault. It’s not. It’s not my fault that no matter how much Hurricane Hawk and the EAW board may try, they cannot find someone capable of matching me in this very ring.
Deadprez: Ah, now I get it
Eve: We shouldn’t be surprised
Gavin Kirkland: What? I don’t get it???
Eve: Just stop Gavin.
Harper Lee: The fact is my friends, my FANS, I really am every bit as good as I claim to be. I am the blueprint for what a female, no forget that ANY Elitist should be. Whenever I step between these ropes, there is a certain inevitability as to the outcome, a factor that Andrea Valentine, who may I add will no longer be a factor or indeed a problem, found out for herself last week on Showdown. Leaving me with one less challenger to worry about… not as I was ever worried. Don’t get me wrong, Andrea is a more than adequate wrestler, she has talent in spades no question. In fact, if I wasn’t here, then there is the possibility that she would carry this belt, just like I do now. But I AM here, standing front and center. The EPITOME of perfection, in every single aspect that makes up an Elitist. I am the BEST that EVER lived, and people need to stop sleeping on that and get used to it. This…
(She holds the belt high.)
Harper Lee: Is the reality of the women’s division right now. A division in which I have NO equal… bar none.
(She paces the ring as the announcers pass comments.)
Deadprez: She’s got a convoluted memory of how that match truly went that’s for sure.
Eve: It’s very easy for her to forget that she was beaten. Andrea had her, and the match would have been over there and then if the referee hadn’t been out of it. Then, even in victory, Serena Bennett played a huge part.
Deadprez: Correct, hardly the best of all time.
Gavin Kirkland: You pair are proper meanies do you know that? Give her the due she deserves as champion.
Deadprez: No question there Gavin, she is. But that doesn’t give her the right to paint some alternate reality does it
Gavin Kirkland: Ooooo, like a multiverse.
(Harper stops pacing, and leans against the ropes, her forearms resting on the strands.)
Harper Lee: And so, here we are. So, you would be forgiven for asking what is next for the most dominant women’s champion ever? I mean, like I say, the challengers are few and far between, so who knows who Hawk will throw into the mix next. Probably Lexi, knowing him. That said, I know that Bethany Blue has her title shot after becoming Empress of Elite, but her dance card is a little full right now with the tag team championship, and let’s face it, that’s just another easy victory for me. By the way, have you heard her, and Adam Lucas are going to get married? Seriously. Talk about settling Beth… your standards really slipped that much?
Gavin Kirkland: Errmm, Does Harper know Bethany is in the building?
Deadprez: I don’t think she’d be saying that if she did.
Harper Lee: So, there truly is no-one who can step up. So, I guess, I’ll just take it easy and wait for someone to tell me who the next ‘victim’ will be. Because in all honesty, that’s all my next challenger will be… cannon fodder. End of……
(Suddenly a voice interrupts…)
Voice: Cannon fodder???
(Holly Arrow walks out.)
Deadprez: It’s Holly Arrow! And it seems Holly has taken exception to some of Harper’s opinions!
Gavin Kirkland: Lots of game girls in the back more than willing to step up to the challenge.
Eve: I’m guessing Holly is looking to jump to the front of that queue.
Harper Lee: Oh, come on, surely not?
Holly Arrow: What’s the matter Champ? Surprised?
Harper Lee: By your arrogance believing you can shoot your shot… not at all. Let me guess, you want a go at this?
(Harper holds the title out in front of her, Holly nodding her head.)
Holly Arrow: See, I think I deserve a chance as much as anyone else. After all, I was the one who made Andrea tap out not too long ago, something that you couldn’t do. Not without assistance anyway.
(Harper brings her hand to her mouth with a mock yawn.)
Harper Lee: Yeah, yeah… same old story. So very repetitive
Holly Arrow: Of course, it’s repetitive Harper, because it’s the truth. So many times, I’ve risen to the occasion…
Harper Lee: Unlike Jake, who has problems in that regard.
(Holly ignores the obvious dig.)
Holly Arrow: … and this is no different. Say what you want Harper, but I’m ready. I want my shot.
(Harper chuckles, shaking her head.)
Harper Lee: OK no worries, it’s your funeral. I’m not doing anything Territorial Invasion, so you and me, this belt on the line. It’s going to be my pleasure to emphasize my point for you.
Holly Arrow: And it will be MY pleasure to relieve you of the burden of the Universal Women’s Championship.
(Harper rolls her eyes again, as Holly’s music hits over the PA.)
Deadprez: There you have it folks, another match has been made for Territorial Invasion. It’s going to be Holly Arrow versus Harper Lee, for Harpers Universal Women’s Championship!.
Gavin Kirkland: How it should be… EAW once again proved itself as the land of opportunity!.
Eve: That is going to be quite a match… but will it be the end of Harper Lee’s reign, we’ll have to wait and see!
(Holly stands on the staging, getting the cheers from the crowd, as Harper once again drapes the belt over her shoulder. She blows a kiss at Holly who just grins, motioning towards her waist where she believes the women’s championship will soon reside, cutting to the last commercial break of the night..)
(The camera cuts back to the ring where Gina Romano with a microphone in hand and a smile on her face as she is ready to announce the main event of the evening.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest with TV TIME REMAINING and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Polaris” by BLUE ENCOUNT starts playing as Jake Smith enters the arena to loud cheers from the crowd. He has a small smile on his face as makes his way to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! From Atherton, California! Weighing in at 220 pounds! Here is “MR. CASH IN THE VAULT” JAKE SMITH!
Deadprez: Here comes Mr. Cash in the Vault ready for singles action. Last week, he and Adam Lucas were able to coexist longer and they picked up the win over Jon Kelton and Donovan Duke. Tonight he looks to continue building momentum with another victory here tonight.
Eve: He is building up momentum towards both Dead Men Tell No Tales and Territorial Invasion where he will be representing Showdown in the big 9 person, 3 team event.
Gavin Kirkland: Those events are coming up soon, but right now, he needs to have his attention completely on his opponent. His opponent tonight is a very tough customer.
(Jake enters the ring and takes his corner as his entrance music fades away. There is a quick moment of silence before ‘Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)’ by Beyoncé starts playing as a mixed reaction starts coming from the crowd. The camera goes up the entrance ramp before stopping at the feet of Kassidy Heart. The camera slowly moves up her figure showing off the beauty that is Kassidy Heart before stopping at her head, where is once again wearing her metal Hannibal Lecter style mask before she heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing his opponent! She is from Sydney, Australia! Here is “THE MAULER” KASSIDY HEART!
Gavin Kirkland: Beautiful, successful, and dangerous. All words that can accurately describe the lady coming down the entrance ramp right now.
Eve: Man or woman, very few individuals in EAW that have the résumé that Kassidy Heart has. Former multiple time world champion, Cassidy made an appearance two weeks ago taking out Ryan Wilson and seemingly offering a helping hand for Showdown at Territorial invasion.
Deadprez: Last week, Kassidy appeared giving some words of wisdom to Andrea Valentine and she was also a ringside during that whole Serena Bennett decimating Andrea Valentine. But tonight Kassidy is in action. We have a former World Champion taking on a future World Champion. Who will come out on top? We’re gonna find out in just a few moments.
(Kassidy slowly enters the ring and stops in the center of the ring before she slowly takes off her metal mask. Afterwards, Kass takes her corner as her entrance music fades off. The referee checks both competitors before calling for the bell. )
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: Here we go! Our main event match is underway. Kassidy and Jake meet up in the center of the ring to lock up and it’s Jake Smith with the side headlock. It doesn’t last long as Kass gets free and has a hammerlock applied.
Gavin Kirkland: Jake firing left and right elbows to catch Kass, but both miss and Jake is still trying to find a way to get free. Jake makes his way over to the ropes AND JAKE BACKFLIPS THEN FIRES OFF A FOREARM TO KASS!
Deadprez: Jake is going to do whatever he can within his power to get one of the most high profile victories of his season thus far, but he needs to watch out and make sure that he doesn’t send the temper meter of Kassidy Heart tip over. Jake fires another forearm to Kass and that gets Kass to lose grip on Jake’s wrist.
Eve: Jake grabs Kass and whips her into the ropes. Kass rebounds and Jake puts his head down AND KASS SWINGS BACK AND KICKS JAKE IN THE SHOULDER! Jake swings back up and Kassidy takes the chance to CLAP JAKE’S EARS LIKE CYMBALS! IF HE DIDN’T HEAR RINGING BEFORE, HE DOES NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake’s eyes widen in shock AND KASS FIRES ON WITH A SLAP TO THE FACE! IT’S LIKE KASSIDY STARTED HER INTENSITY FOR THIS MATCH ON A NINE AND IT WILL NOT GO ANY LOWER! Jake might be in for a very long night at this rate.
Deadprez: Kassidy stays in control and grabs a handful of Jake’s hair and just YANKS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Kassidy has a sadistic smile on her face as she sweeps the stray strands of Jake’s hair from between her fingers.
Eve: I don’t think L’Oreal is going to like that very much, but Kassidy doesn’t care. She wants to make sure that she wins this match and causes maximum pain as she does it. As we mentioned in the introductions, she’s not only one of the most beautiful women on the roster, she is one of the most dangerous.
Deadprez: Jake is down and Kassidy is just delivering boots to the ribs and the back of Jake Smith. Jake is doing whatever he can to roll away from Kass and he makes his way to the ropes and onto the apron. Kassidy would have jumped right after Jake if the referee didn’t step in between them.
Gavin Kirkland: Jake finally gets a breather for a second as he stands up on the apron, but it doesn’t last very long as Kassidy is right back on the attack as she turns Jake around and grabs two handfuls of air as Kassidy bends forward and pulls Jake up!
Eve: LOOK AT JAKE FLAILING ABOUT! KASSIDY PULLS JAKE UP BY THE HAIR! IT IS NOT A LEGAL HOLD! The ref was about to start the count, BUT JAKE GRABS THE TOP ROPE AND FLIPS BACK!
Deadprez: Kass still has a handful of hair as Jake lands in front of Kassidy. Jake grabs Kassidy by the face and drops to a knee. Jawbreaker by Jake sends Kassidy back to the ropes. Jake hits the far side ropes and runs at full speed. Jake going for a dropkick–
Eve: KASSIDY FLIPS BACK TO THE APRON AND JAKE FINDS NOTHING BUT CANVAS! Not a good landing by Jake Smith. Jake back to his feet and Kassidy springboards back into the ring. Kass’ legs around Jake’s neck as she lets go of the ropes and KASSIDY WITH A BEAUTIFUL HEADSCISSORS!
Deadprez: Jake sent for a ride AND HE IS SENT RIGHT OUT OF THE RING TO THE FLOOR COURTESY OF KASSIDY HEART! Jake lands hard on his back on the floor. Kassidy waits for Jake to start getting back to his feet and as soon as that moment comes, Kassidy hits the far ropes and runs full speed.
Gavin Kirkland: KASSIDY DIVES THROUGH THE ROPES AND TAKES JAKE SMITH DOWN WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! WHAT A MOVE BY THE MAULER! It’s moves like that suicide dive that helped Kassidy Heart hold the Answers World Title for almost a year. Kassidy landed on her feet and she brings Jake back up by the hair to his feet.
Eve: Kassidy with another handful of hair AND KASS FLINGS JAKE AND JAKE LANDS BACK FIRST ON THE BASE OF OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE! Kassidy brings him up again AND SMASHES HIS FACE AGAINST THE TABLE!
Deadprez: The referee administering the count as Kassidy Heart drags Jake back to the ring and SHE JUST SMASHES HIS FACE OVER AND OVER AGAIN ON THE RING APRON! She now throws Jake back in the ring and quickly follows suit.
Eve: Kassidy now pushes Jake towards the center of the ring. Jake on his back as KASSIDY DOES A PICTURE PERFECT BACKFLIP! SHOOTING STAR PRESS BY KASSIDY HEART AS SHE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHRRRREEEEEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: JAKE SMITH KICKS OUT AT TWO! Amazing athleticism by Kassidy Heart in this match as she pulls Jake up into a sitting position and she is now just wrenching Jake’s neck.
Deadprez: Kassidy slowing this match down into one of her most favorite stages of the match: the torture stage. Slow and methodical pain and agony on whatever body part she so chooses. This stage is one step below Mauler mode. Jake better be careful.
Gavin Kirkland: Jake’s neck is being contorted in a very horrible angle, but the crowd is clapping and stomping their feet in order to get Jake back in this match. Jake has to be hearing the crowd will him on as he tries to get back to his feet.
Eve: Jake is back onto his feet, BUT KASS IS RIGHT THERE WITH A KICK TO JAKE’S BACK! Jake is still standing, so Kassidy tries to fire off another kick. BUT JAKE CAUGHT HER FOOT! KASSIDY NOW HOPPING ON ONE FOOT AND TRIES FOR AN ENZUIGIRI–
Deadprez: JAKE DUCKED IT AND NOW HE HAS HOLD OF BOTH LEGS! Jake puts both legs around his waist and grab’s Kassidy’s waist AND JAKE JUST PLANTS HER WITH THE WHEELBARROW GERMAN SUPLEX! GREAT MOVE BY JAKE AND KASSIDY LANDS HARD ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD!
Eve: That might be the Kryptonite of Kassidy Heart. Every EAW Elitist has to know about Kassidy Heart and her history of concussions and head injuries, so that had to have had more damage than she will ever let on.
Gavin Kirkland: Jake getting his first major chance at building momentum in this match. He’s waiting for Kassidy to get back to her feet. She’s up and he fires a clothesline taking her down. She’s right back up and Jake takes her down again. As Kassidy gets up a third time, Jake hits the ropes and JAKE FLIES TAKING KASSIDY DOWN WITH A NICE LARIAT!
Deadprez: Jake brings Kassidy back up to her feet and whips her to the ropes. Kassidy with a rebound and HE TWISTS KASS AROUND AND PLANTS HER WITH A TILT A WHIRL BACKBREAKER!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake trying to weaken the back and take as much of Kassidy’s power arsenal away from her as he possibly can. Kassidy pushed onto her stomach AND JAKE DROPS A KNEE ACROSS THE SPINE!
Eve: Jake now picks Kassidy up once again and KASSIDY WITH A THUMB TO THE EYE! Jake is trying to claw away the sting as she hits the ropes. Kassidy with the rebound and JAKE PICKS HER UP AND PLANTS HER WITH THE MICHINOKU DRIVER! KASSIDY DOWN AND JAKE HOOKS BOTH LEGS FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRR–
Deadprez: KASSIDY KICKS OUT AT TWO! Jake is now mounting Kassidy Heart and he is just throwing lefts and rights trying to hurt Kassidy more with each punch. Kass is doing a good job blocking most of the shots as Jake stands up.
Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy trying to stay smart and slightly on the defensive as she doesn’t get back to her feet and she backs up towards the ropes. Jake is following close behind as Kass is now against the ropes. She has her back against the ropes as Jake tries to pick Kass up–
Eve: KASS GRABS THE FRONT OF JAKE’S TRUNKS AND SENDS HIM THROAT FIRST AGAINST THE TOP ROPE! Jake is holding his throat as Kass grabs his legs and takes him down. Jake down in the slingshot position, but Kass turns Jake over AND KASS WITH THE BOSTON CRAB!
Deadprez: KASSIDY WITH THE BOSTON CRAB AS SHE PULLS JAKE INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING! Kassidy might not get the submission, but she can certainly do some damage the longer she can keep him in the hold. Jake is trying to crawl to the ropes, but Kassidy is sitting low and that is preventing Jake from crawling as fast as he wants to.
Gavin Kirkland: Jake is scratching and clawing his way to the ropes. HE WAS A FINGERTIP AWAY, BUT KASSIDY PULLS HIM RIGHT BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! THE REFEREE ASKING IF HE WANTS TO GIVE IT UP, BUT JAKE ALMOST SCREAMS NO AT THE REFEREE!
Deadprez: Jake will do anything he possibly can to not submit and stay in this match so he can still have a chance to add his name to a rare list and that is getting a victory over the 2022 EAW Hall of Famer. Kassidy Heart lets one leg go and the free hand finds its way into Jake’s hair AND SHE JUST YANKS HIM BACK BY THE HAIR!
Referee: (off-mic) LET GO OF THE HAIR! LET IT GO NOW! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI-
Eve: Kassidy lets the hair go and Jake snaps back and goes face first into the canvas. Kassidy grabs the free leg again AND KASSIDY JUST DROPS DOWN AND LANDS HARD ON JAKE’S LOW BACK!
Deadprez: Kassidy Heart back into control and she grabs Jake’s wrist AND KASSIDY HEART IS BENDING JAKE’S WRIST BACKWARDS! KASSIDY IS TRYING TO BREAK JAKE’S WRIST AND SHE IS SMILING! SHE HAS A SMILE ON HER FACE WATCHING JAKE SMITH!
Gavin Kirkland: I think that Kassidy is beautiful to watch, but seeing her like this scares. Kassidy Heart in this mindset makes Maleficent look like a breath of fresh air. Kassidy keeps wrenching back on the wrist AND KASSIDY HAS A BOOT ON JAKE’S HAIR!
Deadprez: The referee doesn’t see the boot on the hair and now Kassidy is now bending the wrist and the elbow. Jake still has the look of pain on his face now that Kassidy is turning him into a pretzel. Jake is doing whatever he can to find a way to get free.
Eve: JAKE ROLLS BACK AND RISKS DISLOCATING HER ARM OR SHOULDER! JAKE WITH A LEG SWEEP AND HE TAKES KASSIDY BACK DOWN TO THE MAT! BOTH COMPETITORS BACK TO THEIR FEET NOW AS THEY ARE GLARING AT EACH OTHER IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: Both competitors just staring daggers at each other and that only lasts a few moments AND NOW THEY ARE UNLOADING ON EACH OTHER! FISTS BEING THROWN ALL OVER AS ONE COMPETITOR IS GOING TO TRY TO GAIN THE ADVANTAGE OVER THE OTHER!
Eve: Neither competitor is able to get the advantage, BUT KASS CHANGES MOMENTUM WITH A KICK TO THE GUT! KASS TURNS HIM AROUND AND LOCKS HIS ARMS! DRAGON SUPLEX ON THE WAY–
Deadprez: JAKE MANAGES TO DROP DOWN AND SENDS KASSIDY’S JAW INTO HIS BACK! KASSIDY RELEASES HIS ARMS! Jake is back up and he grabs Kassidy in a facelock. Jake grabs the arm AND HE JUST PLANTS KASSIDY WITH THE SNAP SWINGING NECKBREAKER! “BROKEN WINGS” NECKBREAKER CONNECTS!
Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy is not moving as Jake pushes Kassidy over and hooks the leg for the cover! Will Kassidy suffer broken wings and broken chances in this match?
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOOO!!
THHHHRRRREEEEEEE!!
Eve: KASSIDY HEART KICKS OUT AFTER TWO! BOY THAT WAS SO CLOSE! Even Jake is a little shocked that the Starmaker didn’t put her away. But Jake Smith is keeping a cool head as Kassidy Heart is brought back to her feet.
Deadprez: Kassidy breaks free and NOW IT’S TIME FOR BOXING PRACTICE! LOOK AT THE HOOKS AND JABS BEING THROWN BY THE MAULER! Kassidy learned to throw those boxing style punches from the one and only Mr. DEDEDE!
Eve: Jake is on spaghetti legs AS KASSIDY GOES FOR AN UPPERCUT AND SHE HIT IT! JAKE STAGGERED BACK, BUT HE STAYED ON HIS FEET AS HE FALLS BACK INTO THE CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy following close behind AND KASSIDY ATTEMPTS TO TAKE JAKE DOWN WITH A MONKEY FLIP, BUT JAKE HAS ENOUGH OF HIS WITS ABOUT HIM AS HE HOLDS ONTO KASSIDY’S ANKLES!
Deadprez: Jake turns around and sits Kassidy on the top rope. Jake climbs up on the second rope and locks his arm around Kassidy’s neck! JAKE TRYING TO BRING KASSIDY DOWN FOR A SUPERPLEX! KASSIDY LIFTED UP BUT SHE KEEPS HER SPOT AND BLOCKS THE SUPERPLEX!
Eve: KASSIDY THROWING SHOTS TO JAKE’S RIBS AS JAKE COUNTERS BACK WITH FOREARMS TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! KASSIDY THROWS ANOTHER PUNCH TO THE RIBS AND NOW SHE’S BITING! SHE’S BITING JAKE’S FOREHEAD!
Deadprez: Jake lets go of Kassidy’s head and Kassidy pushes Jake off the turnbuckle and he lands on his butt on the apron. Kassidy now gets herself standing on the top rope. Kassidy is waiting for Jake to get back to his feet.
Gavin Kirkland: As she waits, Kassidy gets in a crouching position. Jake is now back to his feet AND KASSIDY HEART LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF THE TOP ROPE AND SHE TAKES CATCHES JAKE WITH A SPEAR FROM THE TOP ROPE! THAT’S THE “GO TO GAWD” FROM THE TOP ROPE! ANOTHER TRIBUTE TO HER HUSBAND MR. DEDEDE! JAKE TURNED INSIDE OUT AS KASSIDY HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!
Deadprez: HOLY MOLY! JAKE GETS HIS SHOULDER UP! HE GOT HIS SHOULDER OFF THE CANVAS ENOUGH TO STOP THE COUNT! WHAT A HARD FIGHTING MATCH THIS HAS BEEN FROM BOTH THESE COMPETITORS!
Gavin Kirkland: Most competitors will experience frustration, but not Kassidy. She loves this. She can be so sadistic. It’s moments like these that makes me think that Kassidy is getting close to going over the edge.
Eve: Jake is now back to his feet and Kassidy grabs him, BUT JAKE JUST PICKS KASSIDY UP AND PLANTS HER WITH A SPINEBUSTER! JAKE WAS HOLDING BACK UNTIL THE PERFECT TIME AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HE DID!
Deadprez: Kassidy landed hard and Jake is still there. He grabs Kassidy by the head and walks to the turnbuckle. Jake standing on the second rope looking for a tornado ddt. JAKE SMITH FLIES–
Eve: KASSIDY PUSHES JAKE OFF AND HE LANDS ON HIS FEET! Both competitors are meeting up in the center of the ring AND JAKE SMITH JUST SLAPS KASSIDY ACROSS THE FACE! UH OH! THAT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN A SMART MOVE!
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK AT KASSIDY’S EYES! THEY ALMOST LOOK READ! I THINK THE MAULER METER HAS JUST BROKE FOR THIS MATCH! KASSIDY GLARES AT JAKE AND WITH ALMOST INHUMAN SPEED, KASSIDY THROWS A PALM STRIKE AND SHE CAUGHT JAKE RIGHT IN THE THROAT!
Deadprez: WHAT A SHOT! JAKE HOLDING HIS THROAT! AND HERE COMES KASSIDY! DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN AND WE NOW HAVE KASSIDY HEART UNLEASHED! Whether it be The Mauler or whether she is just angry beyond belief, I think Jake Smith got her mad. He got her mad and she has just LOST IT!
Gavin Kirkland: KASSIDY HEART IS THROWING FISTS! SHE IS SCRATCHING SHE IS CLAWING! SHE IS DOING WHATEVER SHE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT JAKE SMITH FALLS!
Deadprez: The referee pulls Kassidy off of Jake, BUT SHE GOES RIGHT BACK ON THE ATTACK! WHAT VICIOUSNESS BEING SHOWN BY KASSIDY HEART! SHE GRABS JAKE BY THE HEAD AND SHE TURNS HIM INTO THE TRIANGLE CHOKE! SUBMISSION APPLIED!
Eve: Jake is in trouble and he is trying to find a way to get out of the triangle choke, BUT KASSIDY HAS THAT TRIANGLE CHOKE LOCKED IN TIGHT! JAKE BETTER THINK AND THINK FAST OR HE WILL BE IN DREAMLAND!
Gavin Kirkland: KASSIDY IS USING HER FREE HAND SHE IS JUST PUNCHING JAKE OVER AND OVER IN THE HEAD! IF HE DOESN’T GET CHOKED OUT, HE MIGHT GET KNOCKED OUT WITH ALL THOSE PUNCHES TO THE HEAD!
Deadprez: KASSIDY LETS UP BECAUSE JAKE LOOKS LIKE HE IS GOING TO PASS OUT! JAKE’S ARM IS ABOUT TO DROP! THIS MATCH IS ALMOST OVER! JAKE… IS… OU- WAIT A SECOND!
Eve: JAKE USES HIS LAST BIT OF ENERGY AND FLIPS FORWARD INTO A JACKKNIFE! KASSIDY ROLLED UP AND SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHRRRREEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: KASSIDY LETS THE TRIANGLE CHOKE GO AS SHE KICKS OUT! BUT SHE ALMOST GOT CAUGHT THERE! JAKE SLOWLY ROLLS HIMSELF INTO THE CORNER AND KASSIDY GETS BACK TO HER FEET! KASSIDY IS WAITING FOR JAKE TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET! JAKE HAD TO USE THE ROPES BUT HE IS BACK UP AND HERE COMES KASSIDY!
Deadprez: KASSIDY GOING FOR “RAPTURE” HELLUVA KICK BUT JAKE GETS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! AND KASSIDY SPLITS INTO THE CORNER! THAT WAS NOT A PRETTY LANDING!
Gavin Kirkland: Jake is now behind Kass and Jake grabs a handful of hair and pulls Kass back. Reverse facelock by Jake Smith AS HE SPINS OUT! “PROPHETIC” BY JAKE SMITH! SHADES OF TYLER PARKER THERE AS JAKE GOT ALL OF THAT ROLLING CUTTER AS KASSIDY IS DOWN!
Eve: What a move by Jake Smith and he looks to be closing in on the victory… HOLD ON! We have some going on backstage. We hate to cut away from this amazing match, but can we get a camera back there?
(The camera cuts backstage where Answers World Champion Impact and his future challenger Jack Ripley are seen brawling backstage.)
Deadprez: What is this? Jack Ripley and Impact are just beating each other up all over the backstage area. They have a title match at Dead Men Tell No Tales, but they just couldn’t wait until then. They want to beat the feathers out of each other now.
Gavin Kirkland: JACK WITH A RIGHT HAND STAGGERING IMPACT! IMPACT TRYING TO GET HIS BEARINGS BACK, BUT JACK RIPLEY RUNS FULL SPEED AND JUST SPEARS IMPACT AND THEY BOTH GO MOVING–
(The camera watches the two men move after that spear… but they are right in the path of Xander Payne who is being interviewed by Kyra Phillips about his victory earlier in the night.)
Xander Payne: Of course, this was a hard fought match, but naturally I picked up the win. I am still continuing to show everybody why I am “The Best In the Wo….
(Right in the middle of answering a question, Xander is inadvertently taken down by Impact and Jack Ripley and that causes Kyra Phillips to run off. Jack and Impact are still fighting, but Xander gets back to his feet and he is not happy.)
Xander Payne: (off-mic) What the? WHAT DO YOU TWO THINK YOU’RE DOING?
(Impact and Jack are back to their feet, but now Xander has thrown himself into the fray and now there’s a three way fight backstage going on as the camera cuts back to the ring where Jake Smith was watching everything go down and he is wondering what is going on.)
Eve: We are sorry to anybody watching and enjoying the backstage brawl, but we have to get back to this amazing match. Jake was watching it all unfold, but it might have had some negative effects because Kassidy Heart is back up to her feet.
Gavin Kirkland: JAKE CATCHES KASSIDY BACK UP ON HER FEET AND HE GOES FOR THE STARMAKER CUTTER, BUT KASSIDY PUSHES HIM OFF AND HE IS STILL ON HIS FEET. JAKE HAS HIS BACK TO KASS AND THAT IS NOT A GOOD POSITION–
Deadprez: KASSIDY LOCKS IN THE “NECRO MAULER”! HURT LOCK FULL NELSON APPLIED ON JAKE SMITH AND JAKE IS TRYING TO GET FREE! HE HAS ABOUT THREE SECONDS BEFORE THE WORST PART OF THE NECRO MAULER HAPPENS–
Eve: TOO LATE! SHE’S BITING! SHE JUST SANK HER TEETH INTO JAKE’S COLLARBONE! JAKE LETS OUT A SCREAM IN PAIN AS HE TRIES TO BREAK OUT OF THE NECRO MAULER, BUT THE BITING IS JUST ADDING MORE PRESSURE!
Deadprez: JAKE IS STARTING TO SLOW! HE MIGHT BE A SECOND AWAY FROM BEING OUT COLD! IF THAT HAPPENS, KASS WINS THIS MATCH! NOW WHAT IS KASS DOING?
Gavin Kirkland: JAKE WAS STARTING TO FADE BUT KASSIDY LETS HIM GO BEFORE CLOBBERING JAKE RIGHT IN THE BACK OF THE NECK! JAKE BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AND KASS CROSSES AND LOCKS JAKE’S ARMS!
Deadprez: KASSIDY HEART SHOWING AMAZING STRENGTH AND POWER AS HE LIFTS JAKE UP AND PLANTS JAKE ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH THE STRAIGHTJACKET SUPLEX! “CHANEL N°5” BY KASSIDY HEART! JAKE CRASHES AGAINST THE MAT AS KASSIDY BRIDGES UP FOR THE PIN!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)’ starts playing as Kassidy rolls off of Jake and soaks in the mixed reaction from the crowd as she makes it back to her feet.)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… KASSIDY HEART!
Deadprez: What an amazing match between these two competitors. Jake and Kassidy fought hard and it was “The Mauler” who was able to pull out the victory in this match.
Eve: You have to give it to Jake, though. He had the match won on numerous occasions, but it just wasn’t meant to be tonight. Of course, we offer our congratulations to Kassidy Hear… WAIT A SECOND!
(The referee raised Kassidy’s arm in victory, but she quickly snaps it away and drops back down to the mat and starts pounding on Jake Smith again.)
Gavin Kirkland: COME ON! What is this about? Kassidy Heart is just continuing to beat the tar out of Jake Smith and Jake can’t really defend himself Come on, Kass! That’s enough. You already beat him, so enough is enough.
Deadprez: I think Kassidy Heart might have just snapped and she will not let up. The referee is trying to pry Kassidy away from Jake, but to no avail. Kassidy needs to… NOW LOOK AT THE RAMP!
(The camera cuts back to the entrance ramp where Impact, Xander Payne, and Jack Ripley are brawling and still fighting from earlier as they roll down the ramp to the ringside floor.)
Eve: Now we have the three men who started fighting backstage now out on the ringside floor still going at it. The referee is trying to get Kass to stop attacking Jake. Safe to say that Showdown has once again spiraled into chaos.
Deadprez: Where is security? Are they on a Donald Ducking Coffee break? Good grief. We can only imagine how the people in the back think about all this fighting and WHERE IN THE WORLD DID SHE COME FROM?
(The crowd erupts into cheers as Holly Arrow comes from out of nowhere and starts attacking Kassidy Heart, which helps her boyfriend Jake get a breather.)
Gavin Kirkland: HERE COMES HOLLY THE HERO OUT TO SAVE THE DAY AND HER BOYFRIEND! Holly Arrow laying fists right into Kassidy’s skull. Holly stayed back as long as she could before she couldn’t take it anymore.
Eve: Now Holly has handfuls of Kassidy’s hair and is just bouncing Kass’ head off the mat. I’d be careful Holly. That might just make her even more angry. NOW WAIT A SECOND! WHO JUST SLID INTO THE RING!
(As Holly is beating up Kassidy, Universal Women’s Champion Harper Lee is in the ring and she dropkicks Holly in the side of the head.)
Deadprez: HERE IS THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION HARPER LEE! WHY IN THE WORLD IS SHE HERE? Whatever the case is, she is now attacking Holly Arrow, who has now been shoved off of Kass.
Gavin Kirkland: Now we have the men in the ring. Impact, Xander, and Jack are now in the ring and they are getting mixed into action that’s already in the ring. Now we have a giant battle royal going on in the ring.
Eve: LOOK AT JAKE SMITH! HE HAS MADE HIS WAY TO THE TOP ROPE AND HE JUMPS AND TAKES EVERYBODY DOWN AND THEY ARE ALL STILL FIGHTING! OH NOW WHAT IS GOING ON NOW?
(Now Chris Elite is running down the ramp. He dives in the ring and just interjects himself into the melee in the ring.)
Deadprez: HERE COMES CHRIS ELITE! Chris Elite might be getting in this fight for the fun of it but he has now put himself in this fight and we have eight people in the ring just brawling it out. NOW LOOK AT THE RAMP AGAIN! NOW BUSINESS IS ABOUT TO PICK UP!
(The camera cuts back up to the top of the ramp where Hurricane Hawk and Heidi Huxley are standing. They both have unreadable looks on their faces, but are no doubt not happy as they head to the ring.)
Hurricane Hawk: ENOUGH!
(Officials and security quickly rush the ring as they try to separate all the melee going around….)
Hurricane Hawk: I SAID ENOUGH!!!!
(The crowd cheers as they all stop and Hurricane Hawk along with Heidi Huxley also stop half way to the ring….)
Hurricane Hawk: WE ARE NOT RUNNING A ROGUE BRAND HERE! I AM ALREADY ANNOYED DYNASTY GOT A LEG UP ON US FOR TERRITORIAL INVASION AND VOLTAGE IS LOOKING TO PUT TOGETHER SOME STRONG TEAMS YET HERE IS MY ELITISTS TRYING TO KILL ONE ANOTHER!
Heidi Huxley: All anyone does here is complain about the booking. Why they have to team up with this person or that person, it’s stupid. Hurricane Hawk does it for a reason, because this si Disney now and it’s family friendly. Maybe he wants to have a competitive brand with Elitists that actually can respect one another for their talents, that is why Showdown is the WE WRESTLE BRAND!
Hurricane Hawk: That’s right! Instead we have Xander beating up a bunch of enhancement talent, that stops now, next week you want to be the Best in the World then you start facing the best here on Showdown! Kassidy wants to go across all brands and do what she wants!? Jack the same because he’s angry at the system when he didn;t screw it…. He screwed it!
(The crowd cheers, some boo as Jack stares down Hawk…)
Hurricane Hawk: I have members of teams on Territorial Invasion and last year we dropped the ball, that will NOT happen again! Xander and Jake!? Along with Adam Lucas who seems like the smart one here not getting involved, you three will put your differences aside and start acting like a unit! Impact and Jack, you will have your match but first you are going to show the EAW Universe that along with Kassidy Heart? You are all wrestlers! Same with you Harper! Start acting like a damn champion!
Heidi Huxley: Darn.
Hurricane Hawk: Yeah… darn. So there is only one way to solve this once and for all! Impact, Kassidy Heart, Harper Lee and Jack Ripley will face Jake Smith, Chris Elite, Holly Arrow and Xander Payne!
(Hurricane Hawk turns to Heidi Huxley who nods and smiles….)
Heidi Huxley: Oh but that is not all. That’s right. At Dead Men Tell No Tales? The eight of you will be in the Main Event….. IN A DAVY JONES LOCKER MATCH!
(The crowd and all the Elitists look a little confused, there is silence around the arena as Hurricane Hawk takes the mic….)
Hurricane Hawk: Oh right…. It’s a themed event by Disney, I forgot to mention that the Davy Jones Locker Match…. Has another name….
(He pauses for a second as it is silent, suddenly Hurricane Hawk screams in the mic….)
Hurricane Hawk: …… WARGAMES!!!!!!
(The crowd explodes and starts cheering as all eight wrestlers looked a bit surprised,, they start to look at each other while the crowd continues to cheer and Hawk looks on with a smile on his face along with Heidi Huxley….)
Deadprez: WHAT!?!?!?! WARGAMES!? THAT IS THE MAIN EVENT AT DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES THIS CLOSE TO TERRITORIAL INVASION!? OH I LIKE THIS! I LIKE THIS ALOT!
Eve: I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!
Gavin Kirkland: WOW! THANK YOU FOR JOINING US! GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!
(The crowd starts to chant….)
Crowd: WARGAMES!!!!! WARGAMES!!!!! WARGAMES!!!!
(Jake, Chris, Holly and Xander stare at one another before turning to look right at Kassidy, Impact, Jack and Harper having a staredown.)
