(EAW intro plays.)
(Sunday Night Voltage kicks off with a recap showing the Voltage side of things last week on the tri-branded Free-Per-View King of Elite: Night One’s first match for the yellow brand consists of a Unique Opportunity match, where Hikari Kanno, Ryan Wilson, and Candice Blair are seen walking away with their respective briefcases. Afterward Captain Charisma reveals their opportunities, with Ryan getting a World Championship match at Shock Value, Candice getting a New Breed Championship match at Shock Value, and Hikari getting the chance to face anyone she wants at Shock Value which, to everyone’s surprise, she chooses to face Mr. DEDEDE. It then proceeds to the Universal Women’s Championship match between Ms. Extreme and Andrea Valentine, where Andrea comes out on top in the end and becomes the newly crowned Champion. Then, in the main event, it’s the Empress of Elite finals between Miku Sakai and Dr. Bethany Blue, where Bethany ends Night One standing tall as the new 2022 Empress of Elite. Night Two’s first Voltage match kicks off with a bang as Minerva defends her National Elite Championship against Jake Smith, but in the end neither of them win, with Donovan Duke cashing in and becoming the new National Elite Champion. While Jake is brooding about the loss, he gets attacked by a masked figure who reveals themselves to be a vengeful Jacob Senn who has made his return to EAW in hopes of bringing justice to ‘The New’ Jake Smith! Donovan Duke is seen celebrating his Championship win before Lucas Johnson interrupts, after a back and forth Donovan gives Lucas a Championship match while Lucas sends a warning. Then in the EAW World Championship match, after a hellacious battle between two sworn enemies, with the help of Minerva, Myles manages to stand tall over Drake King. After the match however Minerva once again attacks Drake, but Myles of all people has to split the two of them up. Then, in the main event of Night Two, Chris Elite represents Voltage going up against Andre Walker and Adam Lucas. In the end though, Andre is seen coming out victorious which ends the show.)
(Sunday Night Voltage fades in from the intro video and the stage comes to life with a pyro display! Over the noise of the fireworks and the cheering crowd, ‘33rd Blakk Glass’ by ZilaKami & SosMula is playing while the cameras sweep over large sections of the crowd to show the fans in attendance! The cameras then cut down to ringside, where viewers are shown the commentary team seated behind the announce table!)
James Peters: Welcome everyone to another edition of Sunday Night Voltage! I’m James Peters and with me are Rich Russillo and Persephone, and we’re coming to you live off the heels of King of Elite!
Rich Russillo: And what an event it was! I couldn’t have imagined a more exciting first FPV to have in 2022!
Persephone: There was a huge lack of Rex, who would’ve undoubtedly become King of Elite and not disappointed everyone since he’s always going to be the best thing that ever happened to EAW – so really it was just another boring EAW show! I don’t think too many people missed anything important!
James Peters: While that is definitely not the case, we’re right back at it and set on working toward Shock Value! A Voltage-exclusive FPV that’s sure to deliver all the shock and awe anyone could ask for! It’s brought on a lot of exciting match-ups that the EAW Universe has always looked forward to and we might even end up seeing some new stipulations, but regardless, there’s no doubt that it’s an event that’ll deliver like always and I’m sure everyone on Voltage is looking forward to it just as much!
Persephone: Really? “Shock and awe” to try to hype up Shock Value? That was fucking terrible.
James Peters: I tried :mjcry:
Rich Russillo: And trying is what so many of our Voltage Elitists are going to be set on doing – trying to build a path on the way to Shock Value that’s lined with plenty of momentum! We’ve got plenty of stars prepared to reflect on what all went down at King of Elite and what their thoughts are on all of it now that we’re here in the fallout of it, there’s also Mr. DEDEDE who’ll be appearing via satellite to start the show in a moment and we’ve got action lined up for afterward throughout the night, too: Leon Dieter goes up against McCall Everett; MaryBecca teams together to face off with Lucas Johnson and the NEEEEWWWWW National Elite Champion, Donovan Duke; Miku Sakai meeting Danny Tanner in a one-on-one contest, while Madison Kaline does the same with Jay Jerry Johnson; and our EAW World Champion Myles takes on one-half of of the Unified Tag Team Champions in Chris Elite in our main event as Ryan Wilson watches on at ringside!
Persephone: I hope Ryan doesn’t try sitting next to me during that match 🤢!!!!
Rich Rusillo: I’ll protect you! 😤
Persephone: I’d be better off fighting him on my own :mjpls:
Rich Russillo: :mjcry:!!!
James Peters: :mjlol:!!!!
(But the laughs come to a stop when ‘Red Criminal’ by The Oral Cigarettes begins to play and the Minneapolis crowd that fills the Target Center erupts into boos despite some cheering, ever-loyal simps in the audience that do their best to try to drown out any of the negative reception that Hikari gets as she makes her way out from the back. The former Unified Tag Team Champion looks as smug as ever as she stands on the stage for a moment and starts down the ramp, rolling her eyes as she begins passing some of the jeering members of the crowd that are on either side of the barricades near the entrance area.)
James Peters: We were supposed to be starting tonight’s show off with Mr. DEDEDE, who’d be joining us via satellite, but it appears that Hikari has something else in mind?
Rich Russillo: Is this the best move to be making? Trying to upstage or interrupting DEDEDE on what’s supposed to be his airtime doesn’t seem like a wise decision :lupe:!!!
Persephone: Hopefully he calls on her to be fired before she even steps foot in the ring, because I’m pretty sure having to suffer through listening to this bitch on the mic counts as a fucking crime against humanity.
(Hikari starts up the stairs and a microphone sticking out of her back pocket can be seen, and she ducks down through the ropes to get into the ring. Retrieving the microphone and lazily twirling it as she circles around the middle of the ring, Hikari looks amused as she slowly comes to a stop. She doesn’t immediately speak, however, still listening to the reaction she’s getting as ‘Red Criminal’ begins to fade out. She pauses to look toward the tron but all she sees is the shot of herself currently in the ring as it shows the view of the camera just in front of her that she’s currently the focus of. She gives a long sigh into the mic before finally speaking.)
Hikari Kanno: Quite honestly, I deserve better than this. I deserve better than to be fucking addressed via satellite like I’m not the best fucking that happened to this company in the last year. I deserve better than to have the match I called for to be accepted through some fucking Zoom call or whatever the hell DEDEDE planned on using to answer my challenge, only for it to be whisked away in a matter of moments while shit proceeds to whatever the fuck else could come after this like it’s just business as usual, like this isn’t the biggest thing that’ll be happening all fucking night. Does anyone really give a shit about McCall Everett versus Leon Dieter? The fact you’re all probably asking who the fuck either of them even are just enforces the point. Of course, there’s always Miku and how she’s going to go out of her way, even though no one deserves an ounce of her effort, to show she’s still a fucking Queen no matter what the fuck that whiny, resentful, bitter, miserable cunt Bethany Blue could ever say. But then what else is scheduled for tonight? Myles and Chris Elite in the main event with Ryan fucking Wilson at ringside watching on like a hawk because Ryan found himself fortunate enough to grab one of the briefcases at King of Elite?
Hikari Kanno: It’s astounding – astoundingly horrifying to think that in this world, this actual reality, anyone saw that shit and thought it was okay to try to pass off as reasonable, while I’d be made to settle for some virtual bullshit. Why shouldn’t we be doing this face to face? Why shouldn’t DEDEDE be meeting his fasting rising star right here in this ring so he can know what an honor it is to be standing between these ropes across from me, considering all the revenue and attention I’ve brought not just to these shows but all the eyes I’ve put on some of the talent he’s contracted by doing nothing more than being in the same ring as them even though they could never lace my fucking boots? This shouldn’t be the kind of response that should’ve even been given the green light. Then again, I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised that this is the way things are going: DEDEDE knows what I just said is true, and the only way that someone like him, someone like DEDEDE, knows how to operate is through bullshit mind games and tactics intended to be for nothing but his own entertainment whenever he’s being stepped up to or directly challenged.
Hikari Kanno: DEDEDE might have thought to try to convince everyone that I wasn’t worth his time, not worth him stepping off his jet and being driven to the arena to meet me out here face to face, but we all know better. And yet, there’s some of you too stupid to understand why when I get asked how I could dare to challenge DEDEDE. Like, what, I’m supposed to be fucking shaking because it’s Ryan Adams? Because it’s one of the supposed all-time greats that I opted to use my Unique Opportunity on?
(Amused, Hikari scoffs as she looks around as if somehow it shouldn’t be so hard to understand or how a thought like that could even come to be conceived on her part. She laughs and rolls her eyes before she continues on.)
Hikari Kanno: Let’s set the fucking record straight: I deserve better than to be competing in bullshit matches designed to do nothing more than give trash-tier cunts like Mary S. Atlas and Lucas Johnson just the slightest glimmer of hope that their careers are going to go anywhere besides being seen as people who are intended to be called upon to take the fall in matches. I’m above finding myself in situations where I have to deal with those fucks acting like they’ll ever amount to worthwhile competition that should ever be taken seriously. See, I could’ve gone right for a World Championship or some other Championship opportunity, but I was thinking beyond that – I was thinking about myself and my career and the resounding impact that I’m going to continue to create. Sure, I could’ve spared Myles of having to deal with Ryan Wilson – but one thing I sure as fuck am not is a goddamn charity, so have fun with that shit, bitch :mjlol:!!!!!!!! But unlike that sorry Canadian fuck who’s never going to learn that he’ll always be trying to reach levels far beyond his range, what I saw instead was the opportunity to elevate no one but MYSELF and I’m sure as fuck going to take it.
Hikari Kanno: It was just last month that I came back from a nasty injury – some would think to call it a freak accident, others would consider that maybe it came after hauling the fucking weight of the entire Tag Team Division with Miku for so long to make those titles even mean anything only for team after team of lesser cunts to come along and devalue our work – and I sure as hell had the time to think of how I refused to let my miraculous return go the same way of those Unified Tag Team Titles. Swallowed up in petty drama, an afterthought to bigger matches while left to wait a week so that my opponent can hopefully get their shit together – I wasn’t having that shit because I’m Hikari fucking Kanno and I know what the fuck I’m worth. Unlike some of these other cunts who are wasting away – whether they’re injured or they’re the ones actively on the roster – I’m confident there was still more stability in my own torn ACL than some of their own self-worth that wavers at the slightest defeat, and that’s how I know I should be getting better. Because for all the doubt, all the criticism that said that I couldn’t possibly be the same after my injury, it sounds all the same as after IDOL-GUN lost the Tag Team Championships and after I had my head shaved, but all I’ve done since coming back is show I’m still at my fucking best and that I deserve the best – and that’s why I’m not going to lay down and just accept this shit from DEDEDE.
(Hikari nods her head with a reassuring nod, if not for her own image of self-confidence then to surely affirm everyone else that they had better start believing it also. She had no intention of backing down from her stance and that much was clear, even as the crowd buzzed and shouted, which she dismissively waved off.)
Hikari Kanno: But that’s what DEDEDE’s going to learn for himself, that I’m not like any of these other bitches who’d take his shit and let it slide. He’s going to come to learn that, like I said when I came back, I’m just built different and I-
James Peters: :lupe:
Rich Russillo: :lupe:
(Hikari stops herself mid-sentence and she looks confused, turning around after receiving a tap on her shoulder.)
James Peters: SPEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: :damn:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: :mjlol:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: DEDEDE TAKES HIKARI KANNO TO THE MAT WITH AN ABSOLUTELY HELLACIOUS SPEAR! I THOUGHT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE APPEARING VIA SATELLITE?!
James Peters: EITHER WAY, HIKARI JUST GOT HER WORLD OBLITERATED BY DEDEDE!!!! THAT SPEAR FROM HIM IS NOT A FUCKING JOKE! THE CROWD SEEMINGLY TRIED TO WARN HIKARI BUT SHE WAVED THEM OFF, AND THAT’S WHAT SHE GOT WHEN SHE FINALLY TURNED AROUND! I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE HE’S EVEN HERE!!!
Rich Russillo: It seems that there was a change of plans?!
Persephone: At least someone FINALLY came to shut that whore the fuck up :blessed:!!!! He was obviously fine with letting her get comfortable on the microphone thinking he wasn’t going to do anything about it – he DEFINITELY could’ve and most certainly SHOULD HAVE cut her off sooner – but at least now I don’t have to listen to her anymore :blessed:!!!!!
(Mr. DEDEDE gets back to his feet with the raucous crowd on theirs, simps screaming and booing about how DEDEDE just assaulted one of their Queens and that he’d undoubtedly pay with his life for it. But he pays them no attention, instead looking down on Hikari Kanno as she’s sprawled out on the canvas being practically cut in half from the signature finisher of DEDEDE’s that has put plenty of his opponents down in the ring. He sees the microphone down on the mat beside her, having been knocked from her grasp upon impact, and he goes to pick it up.)
Persephone: FUCK, I thought this would all be over after he laid her out and no one else would have shit to say :francis:
(DEDEDE paces slowly beside Hikari’s body, looking not at all concerned. In mocking fashion, he mimics how Hikari had lazily twirled the microphone at the start of the show and he only stops once he comes to put the bottom of his shoe on the side of Hikari’s face.)
Mr. DEDEDE: You should feel honored, DEDEDE, you’re going to be facing your fastest rising star at Shock Value. You should be grateful, DEDEDE, that Hikari Kanno of all people took the time and made the effort to use her opportunity to call you out. And to absolutely all of that I say: no the fuck I shouldn’t.
Mr. DEDEDE: Why should I be the one that feels honored, the one that feels grateful? Because one of the many subordinates under my thumb that I could have whisked away out of my ring, never to be seen or heard from again on any of my broadcasts, decided to go off in front of the world about how she deserves better by trying to make a bigger name for herself off of mine? Because she sought to put her own interests ahead of mine? Because by doing this, she thought she’d look better trying to force my hand? Hikari Kanno knows exactly what the hell she was doing and it certainly wasn’t making me look like a fool or a coward, she wasn’t doing all this talking and rambling absolutely fuck all in order to make me seem like I should take her seriously – she was only doing all of this for herself. Hyping herself up, making herself seem so valiant for standing on the one good leg she actually has before I could make the choice to systematically and brutally start taking it apart with my own two hands that have blessed her and all the others with a company to come strolling into so they could get paid to live out their ambitions and goals for MY money that’s keeping them fed and their lights on at home, for MY acknowledgment knowing that in situations like this that Gawd is the ultimate decider.
Mr. DEDEDE: But every now and then, someone like Hikari comes along and wants to open themself up to a real-life slaying that it’s unique in the way that even they know only I could deliver. They come out here, run their mouths, expect to go untouched and unscathed for the night because no WAY is Gawd going to come down to the ring when he’s supposed to be appearing from some other location, surely too busy fucking his hot wife instead of seeing to it that his billion-dollar business is operating as it should on the nights it’s broadcasting live! …And then I come descending down upon them and let them know that what they’re asking for, what they thought they were saying in some safe space where the padded walls are nothing but their own egos riding high off the chance to freely talk their shit about Ryan Adams, is all something I turn on its head in an instant just like I did to this bitch under my foot right now who isn’t even conscious to even try to stop me. It could get a whole lot worse for her right now. It could get nasty. It could get ugly. I could reinjure her leg right fucking now in ways so gruesome that it’d all make everyone at home change their channels only to peek through their fingers when they switch back to see what kind of violent hell I’ve enacted upon this bitch – and I know I’d be no less loved or hated for it.
Crowd: :lupe:
James Peters: :lupe:
Rich Russillo: :lupe:
Persephone: Don’t be a pussy then, do it! 👀
(DEDEDE drags his foot back off of Hikari’s face and looks down at her. She’s still out and considering the ideas that he just put into the EAW Universe’s heads, it’s only understandable that they all appear to be a little concerned about what could happen next. But instead, he continues on speaking.)
Mr. DEDEDE: But just like that, in nothing but an instant, Hikari knows now that all that shit she just vomited out and spewed at everyone to hype herself up was to do nothing more than that – give the impression that she stands a realistic chance in my domain trying to box with Gawd. Make herself out to be a challenge, someone who could storm Gawd’s castle and take me down – and yet, here the fuck she is down and out like I just beheaded her in the fucking town square with no one to stop me. No one to question me, no one to say “alright, that’s enough” and who would even think to do such a thing? I could be swinging Hikari around ringside and brutalizing her beyond belief, leaving her unrecognizable at this very moment with whatever I could get my hands on – and not a person would are to interrupt because even Miku Sakai would fucking know better than to try to get in my way and step to me. But that helpless feeling all you simps are experiencing, too nervous to hop those barricades like you’ve done before and too scared to even try to snatch this slut off the mat and out my ring for nothing more than to ensure her own safety? Just imagine what it could be like for her at Shock Value. Because unfortunately for her, it wouldn’t be like some weakened, damn near desolate Tag Team Division that she’d be finding herself being able to thrive in for no reason other than the fact that there’s not so much as even the slightest fucking speck of ACTUAL competition that’d result in a bigger chance of her getting thrown a fucking Year-End Award for it. It wouldn’t be some shit with Bethany Blue where she’ll be able to find some “solace” in the fact that there wasn’t an official ending to the match, saving herself or her opponent from walking away from the match bitter as fuck about losing when they “shouldn’t have” or “weren’t supposed to” because they somehow had it worked in their mind that it couldn’t have been their time to take a loss with what either of them had riding on it.
Mr. DEDEDE: But what people fail to realize is that when going against me, we’re not on common ground when the bell rings no matter what. This ring is not an equalizer, no matter what anyone’s been told to believe. Regardless of the venue, the arena, the stipulations – we are not equals. The people across from me start out already on the losing side because that’s the way it is, because that’s the kind of environment I create with nothing but my presence alone, and it’s on them to do something about it – but it’s no surprise whatsoever when I come out a winner. Hikari, you might be used to being viewed as the perpetual winner in your matches because you started carving out a legacy on the grounds of shit to build upon as if it was worth anything – beating the fucking Realm, Alexis Chambers, Ronan Malosi – or getting your ass beat by the biggest try-hard Ava of the bunch just earlier in the season before she had you looking like the latest army recruit. But you’re gonna feel that shift in your universe when it really dawns on you that we’re operating on my metrics, on my definitions of what it means to succeed, on my parameters that I’ve shown to the world time and time again are successful beyond belief when I step into the ring and go reaching into some of the most depraved, darkest, nastiest corners of my mind where the only rules I have to continue to follow are the ones that I’ve set into place.
(He crouches down beside Hikari, a handful of hair coming to be tightly snatched up into his grasp.)
Mr. DEDEDE: This one right here, though. She thinks she’s going to be some exception, some great anomaly because… what? After getting off on making a career out of slapping around people so obviously beneath her that everyone ALREADY KNEW couldn’t match her and acting like she was hot shit for it despite the obvious, suddenly it isn’t doing it for her anymore? Hikari’s worst fears were realized when she saw that this company could go on without her and no one gave a fuck except the simps jerking off to pictures of IDOL-GUN caught in compromising positions during their matches, and for a shot at relevancy – REAL relevancy that isn’t her standing on a mountain of victories essentially handed to her before the bell even so much as rang to start the match over her opponents that didn’t stand a chance since they were so inadequate to begin with – she wants to come at me. But how much regret is she going to have coursing through her veins at Shock Value? Not after, not even now – but DURING the match when she realizes that the idea of her pulling off this feat she tried casually strolling into is something that becomes entirely unfathomable? When I have my foot on her neck, crushing her throat? When I’m on the verge of snapping her surgically repaired leg like nothing more than just a toothpick? Because the match you want, Hikari, it’s yours but the match is going to be my spin on a classic, something that I invented myself: Electric Wallz.
(Despite not even knowing what it is, the crowd is thunderous with excitement. DEDEDE’s delivery of the announcement is something so simple yet so effective, that he’s got the entire Target Center eager with anticipation.)
Mr. DEDEDE: I’ll be revealing what that all entails next week, but you all best believe that it’s all by design, constructed exactly in Gawd’s image. This shit is set and I can promise everyone that it’s inescapable – there’s no way around it now, no going back, no changing your mind, Hikari, because the best you’re going to get out of this is the fact you get to say that you shared the ring with me. You’ll get to repeat the tired phrase “but I took DEDEDE to his limit!” until everyone gets bored and waits for you to find your next venture for some worthwhile prominence. But it’s at Shock Value that then and only then do I want you to start understanding what a mistake this was, what a brazen and dishonest attempt this was at trying to take a leap into the rarified air of my stratosphere for nothing more than just a drop of fucking clout. See you next week.
(DEDEDE drops the microphone down onto Hikari’s forehead and it rolls off to the mat, and DEDEDE rises to his feet with ‘Off The Grid’ by Kanye West featuring Playboy Carti & Fivio Foreign begins to play.)
James Peters: That was… something to witness :lupe:
Rich Russillo: I agree. :lupe:
Persephone: Okay, but I thought he was gonna break her leg and then he didn’t even do it?! I fucking hate it here :noah:!!!!
James Peters: I think the real concern here is the Electric Wallz Match! DEDEDE versus Hikari Kanno is official for Shock Value; I just hope Hikari knows what she’s gotten herself into wanting to challenge DEDEDE!
Persephone: Well, it sounds to me like she’s gonna die, so that should be fun! 😀
James Peters: :lupe:!!!
Rich Russillo: :lupe:!!!
(Mr. DEDEDE makes his way up the ramp and doesn’t look back as he heads straight for backstage, and inside the ring, Hikari begins to raise herself up just as two officials enter the ring to check on her. They help her sit up but she quickly comes to try to slap them away, still seated on the mat and looking pissed off as she holds an arm over her ribs while glaring at DEDEDE’s back just before he disappears out of sight through the entrance area. The scene fades out.)
(The show fades backstage and the crowd quickly reacts with cheers as they see Mary S. Atlas and Becca Black appear, casually talking between each other and preparing themselves for their match later on in the night.)
Mary S. Atlas: Obviously, we have no problem with Lucas here, so we are definitely focusing on Donovan, behind his gentleman behavior, he still has that fight driven mentality.
Becca Black: Right, right, we have the advantage here of the whole “Co-existing” situation so we cut off Donovan from Lucas and make sure to take him down, or if it comes to it, we wait for the two of them to implode.
Mary S. Atlas: Lucas’ erratic behavior will definitely make that happen, but he can also just run into the ring out of nowhere and take one of us down with that finishing move of his-
Becca Black: Ok, but seriously, how effective is that Claymore Kick of his? Can’t you just…move out of the way?
Mary S. Atlas: …Well, it isn’t rocket science but that works for him when he does it out of nowhere.
Becca Black: Which isn’t most of the time, that might be the reason he actually loses, he could change up his style and maybe he could become World Champion for all we know, Terry Chambers suddenly started using that move too and we all know how bad he has been doing.
(Mary and Becca continue talking to each other when around from the corner appears Sofia Clarke. Sofia spots them and the two quickly turn in unison as Sofia talks to them in a positive tone.)
Sofia Clarke: Mary and Becca! Good to see you two, are you free for a quick interview?
Mary S. Atlas: Of course! We still have time before our match after all.
Sofia Clarke: Amazing to hear, for I come here to ask you your thoughts for today. How do you two feel being back together and back in action again? Along with the fact that you two are teaming up against the team of Donovan Duke and Lucas Johnson? By the way, welcome back to Voltage, Becca! I am glad to see you fully recovered.
Becca Black: Thanks Sofia, and yes, I am very glad as well. It is great finally being back, it was a devastating moment when I ended up getting injured, the downside of it was being put on the shelf, simply looking in at the action as another fan in the crowd but the upside from it was having that small break, that break to be able to reflect on my thoughts and feelings and to come back as a changed person, a better one at that. But it isn’t great being back because my injury was healed up, it is great because I get to team up with Mary once again and do even better than before, together.
Mary S. Atlas: I am incredibly glad too that I was able to reunite with Becca, I won’t lie, seeing my friend get injured by the hands of IDOL-GUN made me incredibly angry, it absolutely fucking sucked. Having to deal with that kind of scenario after my failed attempts of recovering from my past losses was a hard pill to swallow but I pulled through this last month and I have arrived here again right next to Becca, better than ever as she said. And later on the night we will show Donovan and Lucas what we are made of, they won’t be able to get past this kind of team! Especially when the main thing they have to worry about is whether or not they can co-exist between each other.
Sofia Clarke: But what about IDOL-GUN especially? They were the ones who took out Becca in the first place after all.
(Mary’s expression quickly turned sour when she heard that question, obviously annoyed and frustrated.)
Mary S. Atlas: I truly believe I am done with them, for now at least, after having to fight with that stupid gremlin and Hikari using her simps to her advantage in our match, I don’t have anymore time to entertain them after dealing with them for the past month.
(But Becca had a more serious expression on her face, seemingly very thoughtful about what she was going to say next.)
Becca Black: I’ll be completely honest here, it was very satisfying seeing Miku fail at King of Elite, seeing her all overconfident going into the match and then losing against Dr. Bethany Blue, it was amazing seeing at least one half of IDOL-GUN get what they deserved but I definitely know Miku will be out there to redeem the loss she took. While myself…I have said in my recent videos that I possibly deserved to deal with that injury, the old Becca was incredibly toxic, a whiny and cocky bitch who didn’t want to better herself at any cost, and I don’t want the new Becca to be that, dealing with that injury gave me the perfect time to reflect and wonder what was my next objective in my career, I definitely want to better MaryBecca and shoot for the stars from here, but I bettered my own self both mentally and physically for a reason, to show that I am finally good enough.
Becca Black: I was actually planning to do this later in the night but I think it is the perfect time now to do it since you arrived, Sofia. Hikari definitely seems to be busy with her own match so I will set this out loud and clearly. Miku Sakai. I want to challenge you for a match at Shock Value. And yes, I have said too that I wasn’t willing to go for revenge on you two, when the situation happened me and Mary attacked first and you two did exactly what I would have done in that position, so that is why I don’t want to fight you to get my revenge, I want to fight you for the sole reason of redeeming my own self, to show what the new Becca is capable of. Because at the end of the day wrestling is considered an art form, an art where wrestlers can show their will to fight and succeed, to show that kind of magic that is undeniable and worthful. And I think when we first fought that was able to be shown, when we fought for the Specialists Championship, it made people open their eyes and it gave me the kind of opportunity to show the amount of talent that I have on that ring, I want to show that again at Shock Value, but this time…with my hand raised up in the end.
(And after a few seconds of silence, the crowd cheered loudly at the end, a bit moved from Becca’s speech. Becca let out a small smile hearing the cheers from the crowd and Mary went to put a hand on Becca’s shoulder, as Becca turned slowly to see Mary with a bright smile, feeling proud as well from hearing her friend’s words.)
Sofia Clarke: It seems your words definitely excited the crowd Becca. Shock Value only keeps getting bigger and bigger, and if Miku accepts Becca’s challenge, we are sure to see Miku Sakai vs Becca Black at Shock Value! Thank you for your time ladies, I wish you good luck on your match!
(Becca and Mary both thank Sofia for the kind words and the three of them say goodbye to each other, with Sofia making her leave. Becca stood still again with that thoughtful expression on her face but Mary went to quickly snap her out of it.)
Mary S. Atlas: Hey! We definitely have time before our match starts, so how about we go get some preemptive victory snacks? To celebrate your return!
(Becca’s expression turned slowly into a small grin as she nodded her head.)
Becca Black: Yeah, let’s go.
(Becca and Mary were ready to make their leave too but as soon as Mary took a few steps, she ended up bumping into somebody! The camera quickly turned over to the side and the crowd booed heavily seeing Madison Kaline standing there, she made herself known at Dynasty a few days ago by calling out Andrea Valentine and setting her eyesight right at the Universal Women’s Championship, she was focused on her match later in the night and it was clear she wasn’t in a good mood. She brushed her hair out of her face and snapped right at Mary.)
Madison Kaline: Wow, I didn’t know the air could bump into me. Be more careful next time in the presence of a Hall of Famer and a future Universal Women’s Champion, you don’t get to see that kind of person every day.
Mary S. Atlas: Hey, I-
(But before Mary could finish her sentence, Madison shoved her hand on her face and pushed her to the side, as Madison simply made her leave. An annoyed expression appeared on Mary’s face and she was ready to go all out on Madison but Becca quickly held her back, saying it wasn’t worth it. Mary let out a sigh and calmed herself down, knowing they had a match tonight. The show then fades away as Mary and Becca leave the area together.)
(The camera cuts back to the ring, as Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
(“Best Damn Thing” by Avril Lavigne blasts through the speakers to the loud cheers from the audience as McCall Everett makes his way out to the stage with a bright smile on her face, blowing a kiss at the crowd, who’s showing her love and appreciation, before starting to make her way down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST!! FROM ENUMCLAW, WASHINGTON!! WEIGHING IN AT 107 POUNDS!! “SKATER GURL”!! MCCAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL EEEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEEETT!!!!!
James Peters: Here she comes, McCall Everett is here!
Rich Russillo: Well, McCall Everett is an Elitist that hasn’t at all had the best luck ever since arriving, but certainly, she’s been working her ass off and trying her best since day one to prove herself, and win or lose, she is always able to put on fantastic performances. If you ask me, I wouldn’t be shocked at all if we witnessed her pick up her first victory tonight!
Persephone: Ugh.. I don’t really give a shit about ALL of that. As long as she will be able to let this one go quick, I hope she wins.
(“Like a Stone” Audioslave replaces “Best Damn Thing” as the crowd gives the same amount of positivity energy and appreciation to Leon Dieter, who makes his way out not looking too happy, before starting to make his way down to the ring for his upcoming match.)
Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT!!! FROM DRESDEN, GERMANY!!! WEIGHING IN AT 213 POUNDS!!! “KING OF LEON”!!! LEEEEEOOOOOOOOON DIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEETEEEEEEEEER!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: And here comes Leon Dieter!
James Peters: Pretty much like McCall Everett, Leon Dieter is an individual that hasn’t had the best luck since his arrival, but he looks ready tonight and we might see him do it and win in EAW for the first time.
Persephone: No one gives a shit, he looks stupid as fuck to be honest. Never saw someone who looks dumber, and I think it as well explains why he doesn’t win. 🤷♀️
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: And here we go, this one is officially underway! We have Leon Dieter going up against a quite ready-looking McCall Everett! Both competitors are individuals who are extremely loved by the fans, and that’s because of their similar attitude and behavior. Apparently, this one is expected to be a banger of a match!
Rich Russillo: Leon Dieter has McCall Everett in the position of a headlock right here, but McCall is clearly trying to fight back! McCall Everett with a punch to the stomach of Leon Dieter, AND SHE WASTES NO TIME, FOLLOWING IT UP WITH ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER BIG RIGHT HAND TO THE STOMACH OF DIETER, BEFORE GOING FOR ANOTHER– BUT, THIS ONE MISSES AS LEON SAVES HIMSELF JUST IN TIME! Leon Dieter moves out of the way, not letting go off that lock of McCall though – BUT TRANSITIONING IT, INSTEAD!!! LEON DIETER, RIGHT AFTER DUCKING THE PUNCH OF MCCALL EVERETT, GOES RIGHT BEHIND HER, LOCKING IN A SLEEPER HOLD!! THE SLEEPER HOLD IS APPLIED, CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF MCCALL EVERETT, WHO DROPS TO A KNEE, FIGHTING WITH EVERYTHING SHE GOT TO ESCAPE THE LOCK!
Persephone: 🥴 Damn, hopefully he kills her or at least submits her now. Even though he looks super stupid while tryna look powerful when attempting to keep locking in that move, I just want this match to end because it just started and it sucks already.
James Peters: 🤦♂️Well, anyways. We can see Leon’s attempt to just submit McCall here and end this match earlier than anyone thought continuing to successfully go like he’s obviously planning as she’s just there, starting to fade after dropping down to her knees, BUT HEY! WAIT, MCCALL EVERETT JUST REVERSED AND SAVED HERSELF JUST IN TIME! MCCALL FAILS LEON DIETER’S PLAN OF MAKING QUICK WORK OF HER, AS SHE DROPS HIM DOWN ON THE CANAVAS WITH A SNAPMARE!! SNAPMARE TO LEON AS HE WAS JUST FORCED TO FINALLY LET GO OFF OF MCCALL, AS BOTH COMPETITORS GET RIGHT BACK UP TO THEIR FEET, BEFORE MCCALL CONNECTS ON LEON WITH A HURRICANRANA!!!
Rich Russillo: THE HURRICANRANA ON LEON DIETER CONNECTS AS HE GETS RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET FROM THE IMPACT OF THE MOVE LOOKING CLEARLY FAZED BY IT, BUT MCCALL DOESN’T SEEM TO GIVE A SHIT HERE ALREADY, AS SHE TAKES THE ADVANTAGE OF THE IMPACT SHE WAS JUST ABLE TO MAKE, AND NAILS HIM WITH THE SUNSET FLIP BOMB!! THE SUNSET FLIP BOMB ON LEON DIETER HERE CONNECTS, AS THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS FOR MCCALL, AS SHE GOES RIGHT FOR THE COVER!! COULD THIS BE JUST IT!!?
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO-
Persephone: Duh. He kicks out.
Rich Russillo: There was probably no way Leon Dieter was going to just die that early, and it shows! He quickly kicks out, and this match keeps going! McCall clearly does not have the happiest look on her face, but she will keep doing what she surely *has* to do, and it’s fighting! McCall keeps fighting, as she picks Leon Dieter right back up to his feet- HEY, LEON DIETER WITH A QUICK SURPRISING MOVE ON MCCALL EVERETT!! SCHOOL BOY ROLL-UP!! SCHOOL BOY ROLL-UP!! SCHOOL ROLL-UP ON MCCALL EVERETT, AND I’M MORE THAN SURE SHE WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT!! THIS MIGHT BE IT, AS WE CAN ALL JUST WITNESS LEON DIETER STEALING IT HERE!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO-
James Peters: AND MCCALL EVERETT WITH A QUICK KICK OUT OF HIS OWN, SUCCESSFULLY ESCAPING FROM LEON DIETER’S ATTEMPT TO STEAL THE WIN HERE! McCall Everett kicks out as both individuals are immediately right back up to their feet, BUT LEON DIETER WASTES LITERALLY NO TIME AS HE, NOT EVEN GIVING MCCALL THE CHANCE TO CATCH HER BREATH FOR A SECOND, NAILS HER WITH A STEP-UP ENZIGUIRI RIGHT TO THE EAR!!! LEON DIETER JUST NAILED MCCALL EVERETT WITH A DOMINATING STEP-UP ENZIGUIRI, AS SHE FALLS DOWN TO KNEES IN OBVIOUS PAIN, ALLOWING LEON DIETER TO KEEP HIS ATTACK GOING, AS HE SPINS AT HIS POSITION, KNOCKING HER DOWN WITH A SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK!!
Rich Russillo: THIS MAN JUST KICKED MCCALL EVERETT’S HEAD OFF, AND SHE’S NOW GROUNDED, LAYING DOWN ON THE MAT!! MCCALL EVERETT LOOKS COMPLETELY HELPLESS AT THE MOMENT, AND DESPITE THAT, LEON HAS NO STOP IN HIM, AS HE JUST **SMASHED** THE SKULL OF EVERETT WITH A POWERFUL JUMPING KNEE DROP!!! THE KNEE DROP BY LEON DIETER CONNECTS RIGHT ON THE FOREHEAD OF MCCALL EVERETT, AND HE DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!! THE COVER BY DIETER, AS HE HOOKS THE LEG!! IT COULD END RIGHT HERE!!!
Persephone: AND IF IT WAS NOT, I SWEAR TO GOD I’M GOING TO SCREAM!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Persephone: FUCK.
Rich Russillo: KICK OUT!! MCCALL EVERETT SHOWCASES HOW MUCH HEART SHE HAS, AND SHE GETS THE SHOULDER UP!!! THE KICK OUT BY MCCALL EVERETT, AND THIS MATCH CONTINUES!! IT DEFINITELY IS A SURE THING THAT HAPPINESS IS THE LAST EXPRESSION YOU CAN FIND ON THE FACE OF LEON DIETER RIGHT NOW, BUT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT IT, EXCEPT KNOCKING MCCALL EVERETT THE FUCK OUT FOR GOOD AND PIN HER FOR THE WIN (pause) BUT SO FAR, MCCALL HAS PROVEN THAT THAT ONE IS NOT AT ALL AN EASY TASK TO GET DONE!! This match hasn’t gone *much* deep so far, but McCall Everett has definitely made a statement, and it’s that it might take nearly killing her to leave this victorious after a match against her!
Persephone: Would be lying if I said I give a shit, but for the love of God…END THIS MATCH RIGHT NOW FOR FUCK’S SAKE!
James Peters: Leon Dieter, looking totally pissed off, gets off McCall Everett, getting right back up to his feet, as he strikes her with a kick right to the ribs! And another one! And another kick to the ribs of McCall Everett! Leon Dieter keeps striking the ribs of Everett with those continues kicks, before finally stopping, as he rolls out of the ring onto the apron, starting to climb his way up to the top turnbuckle, as he finally reaches. Leon Dieter takes a few moments to balance himself, as McCall Everett, completely tired, barely gets right back up to her feet, BEFORE LEON DIVES UP HIGH IN THE AIR, GOING FOR THE DIVING METEORA!! THE DIVING METEORA ON MCCALL EVERETT CONNE-
Rich Russillo: WAIT, MCCALL EVERETT MOVES OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME, AS LEON DIETER FLIPS FORWARD, LANDING ON HIS FEET! OH SHIT, DON’T LOOK BEHIND YOU DIETER…. LEON DIETER TURNS AROUND, JUST FOR MCCALL EVERETT TO JUMP RIGHT OVER HIM, AND TAKE HIM DOWN WITH THE REVERSE FRANKENSTEINER!!!
James Peters: THE REVERSE FRANKENSTEINER ON LEON DIETER CONNECTS, AND SLAMS HIS HEAD RIGHT ON THE MAT WITH FULL STRENGTH!!! WHAT A MOVE BY MCCALL EVERETT, WHAT A COMEBACK!!!
Rich Russillo: McCall Everett doesn’t seem to be done here though, as she gets on top of Leon Dieter, AND STARTS BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF HIM WITH THE CONTINUOUS PUNCHES RIGHT TO THE JAW!! MCCALL EVERETT KEEPS THIS ATTACK GOING, AND THE REFEREE NOW DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE BUT TO START HIS FIVE COUNT!!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE!!!
(PUNCH!)
Referee: (off-mic) TWO!!!
(PUNCH!)
Referee: (off-mic) THREE!!!
(PUNCH!)
Referee: (off-mic) FOUR!!!
(PUNCH!)
Referee: FI-
James Peters: McCall Everett FINALLY gets off the body of Leon Dieter, as she backs up to her knees, leaning on the bottom turnbuckle for a few seconds to catch her breath. Leon Dieter is down on the ground, and McCall Everett gets right back up to her feet, but doesn’t even come close to her opponent, as she climbs her way up to the top turnbuckle, before reaching, but what is she looking for? I guess we’re about to find an answer, as she starts balancing herself……….
(**CRASH!**)
Rich Russillo: MCCALL EVERETT DIVES HIGH IN THE AIR, BEFORE SMASHING THE FOREHEAD OF LEON DIETER WITH A POWERFUL DIVING KNEE DROP!! PAYBACK FOR WHAT WE WITNESSED FROM LEON DIETER EARLIER THIS MATCH IS SEEN HERE!! AND NOW MCCALL EVERETT DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!! THE COVER ON LEON DIETER!!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHH-
Persephone: STOP WITH THOSE FUCKING KICK OUTS, GODDAMN! Why can’t Captain Charisma just come out and call this match off now, huh? It’s been a garbage as fuck match. I mean, it wouldn’t be a worse decision than straight-up booking a match that handed Drake King full control of Voltage for a month as an FPV Main Event anyway. Like, I absolutely hate this fucking targeting when EACH AND EVERY MATCH on the show goes long as fuck as if it’s all just to piss me the fuck off. Not like this show hasn’t been even shitter after the disappearance of Rex McAllister. Fucking bullshit.
Rich Russillo: Hey, calm down, Persy, why are you so upset?
Persephone: None of your fucking business.
Rich Russillo: 😔
James Peters: LEON DIETER JUST KICKED OUT, MCCALL EVERETT IS IN DISBELIEF AT THE MOMENT, BUT WASTES NO TIME AS SHE’S HAD ENOUGH!!! MCCALL EVERETT PICKS LEON DIETER RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET, BEFORE RUNNING ONTO THE ROPES, SPRINGBOARDING, AND CONNECTING WITH THE SPRINGBOARD DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER ON LEON DIETER!!! THE SPRINGBOARD DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER!!! MCCALL EVERETT JUST NAILED LEON DIETER WITH HER FINISHING MOVE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS MIGHT BE WHERE WE WITNESS MCCALL EVERETT PICKING UP HER FIRST VICTORY HERE IN EAW-
Rich Russillo: WAIT A MINUTE, LEON DIETER COUNTERS!!! LEON DIETER REVERSES, NAILING MCCALL EVERETT MIDAIR WITH A POWERFUL POWERBOMB!!! LEON DIETER JUST SAVED HIMSELF RIGHT IN TIME, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS NOT DONE HERE, AS HE QUICKLY MAKES HIS WAY UP TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, BEFORE DIVING HIGH IN THE AIR, CONNECTING WITH THE BARBAROSSA SPECIAL!!!! BARBAROSSA SPECIAL!!! THE DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP CONNECTS, AND MCCALL EVERETT HAS TO BE UNCONSCIOUS RIGHT NOW!!! LEON DIETER HOOKS THE LEG! THE COVER ON MCCALL EVERETT!!!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…
…
…
James Peters: WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!! MCCALL EVERETT PULLS LEON DOWN INTO HER OWN ROLL UP PIN!!! MCCALL IS ROLLING LEON UP, SHE’S GONNA STEAL THIS ONE!!!!
Persephone: YES!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!! END THE MATCH!!!!!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… MCCCAALLLLLLLLL EEEVVVERREEETTTT!!!!!
James Peters: SHE DID IT!!!! MCCALL EVERETT JUST PICKED UP HER FIRST VICTORY IN EAW, ALL BECAUSE SHE MANAGED TO STEAL THE VICTORY FROM LEON DIETER!!!
Rich Russillo: WHAT A TURN OF EVENTS!!! LEON HAD IT WON, BUT SOMEHOW MCCALL WAS JUST BARELY ABLE TO TURN IT AROUND!!! We’ve seen counters like that in the past, but I didn’t expect her to get a victory like that tonight!
Persephone: I don’t think anyone expects her to win anything. Ever. :mjlol:
James Peters: Congratulations McCall Everett!
(“Best Damn Thing” hits, and quickly McCall Everett rolls out of the ring as Leon Dieter tries to catch her, just barely too slow to attack her as she makes it out of the ring. The crowd cheers for McCall, who just picked up her first victory in EAW, and Leon Dieter is pissed, arguing with the referee after coming up short in that match. As McCall celebrates her victory, to the best of her ability following that match, Voltage fades away from ringside.)
(A commercial for EA’s UFC 5 plays, as Ronan Malosi is seen getting beat 10 times in a row. He smashes the television, and leaves.)
(“Bad Man” by Blues Saraceno plays through the speakers and Kirk Redwood, and Shane Gates make their way to the ring.)
James Peters: Here comes an unlikely duo that formed a month or so ago. Surprisingly, they have operated quite well with one another. Especially getting as far as challenging for the Unified Tag Team Championships a few weeks back. They were close, but I have no doubt that they’re going to continue to be on the hunt for gold.
Persephone: Alright, a piss break!
Rich Russillo: No, I’d say that they are two bright young stars, and the Unified Tag Team Championship match they had against The Haircare Kings was only just the beginning for them. I’m sure they have something important to say, I don’t think you want to miss this one…
Persephone: Fine, open your mouth Rich.
Rich Russillo: What? Why?
Persephone: The piss has to go somewhere, and if you’re forcing me to piss, then this is what has to happen.
James Peters: :francis:
(Shane and Kirk get in the ring, and both of them getting microphones while “Bad Man” begins to come to a close.)
Shane Gates: I know that when you look at the pair standing in front of you, in this ring, you don’t see us as a tag team. At least, you didn’t see it in the beginning. Honestly, we were just like the rest of you. This unlikely pairing was something that the both of us saw as some sort of burden, that was hindering our careers. But this unlikely pairing became something that we both realized after some time just clicks. Maybe Captain Charisma has some kind of method to his madness after all, maybe he was doing something for us forcing us into a partnership. We have made the most of our opportunity together, and made progress that we didn’t even think possible. Imagine if we embraced the vision in the first place, the places we could be. But no matter, we have seen what the potential of this team is, and we are ready to take it to even more heights. Taking on The Haircare Kings and fighting for the Unified Tag Team Championships was only the beginning, but we have more yet to prove.
Kirk Redwood: I’ve never really been able to find my footing so far, but I’ve always shown flashes of what I’m capable of as I’ve taken Champions like Minerva, Chris Elite, and Jake Smith to their absolute limit. I know that eventually, it’s all going to fall into place for me, and I won’t ever stop believing that I have the ability to win a Championship and more here. But with this team, I feel like I’ve found purpose. I’ve seen what I’m capable of, what WE are capable of, and it brings me great hope. Just like Shane, I didn’t see the vision at first either, but after getting acclimated with each other, and actually seeing what we can do together in that ring, I can see that vision now. This is only the beginning of a long journey that will bring us great success.
Shane Gates: That’s where the two of us have found common ground. I’ve always been looked at as a joke by so many people, and I’ve been here for years, and years, but I’ve never been able to grab the brass ring that was put above me. It’s not for a lack of talent, because I have that in spades. But I’ve never been at the right place, at the right time, and I have to begrudgingly admit, Captain Charisma might have been onto something by pairing me up with Kirk. While we may have come up short against The Haircare Kings as I mentioned before, we’re still sticking things out, and making our way up to the top, even further than we’ve been on our own. We’ve both shown in the past that we’re capable of succeeding. After the both of us have come so close so many times, I think that with our combined forces, everything is about to change. No longer is it going to be so close, yet so far away. It’s only a matter of time until we get what we want, even if it means working our way back into contention for the Unified Tag Team Championships.
Kirk Redwood: The next step for us is Shock Value for us, and we want a match against any team on the roster willing to step up to us. Anyone at all, it doesn’t matter who, but before you take us up on this offer, just know you’re in for a world of hurt and embarrassment. You think what we did against The Haircare Kings was impressive? You haven’t seen anything yet, you will see what a vengeful team this can be. Each week, with the more experience we get together, we will only get more and more dominant in the coming months. The two of us have what it takes to be the most dangerous team on the entire roster, because at this point we’re willing to do whatever it takes to find success, and that same willingness is why we’re still a team despite initially not seeing eye to eye with each other. You could actually take that further and say that we initially hated each other. But either way we have never been the best of friends, but we were able to put our careers and our desire to succeed first. We were able to put our differences aside because we had to, for the same common goal. If we were willing to do that after all we’ve been through as enemies, imagine what we’re capable of now that they’re a team. So tell me, who can stop us-
(“Can’t Tell Me Nothing” by Kanye West suddenly starts blaring throughout the arena as Dynasty’s Johnny Andrews and Solomon Stane step out onto the stage. Both of them then proceed to make their way down to the ring.)
Persephone: Is this a fucking joke?
James Peters: Why would this be a joke? That’s Johnny Andrews and Solomon Stane from Dynasty! It looks like they’re here to accept the challenge!
Persephone: That man looks 45, and he’s wearing a bandana with long hair. Dynasty sounds like hell.
James Peters: Says here he’s 23.
Persephone: So he’s a drug addict too???? Fucks sake Dynasty is a mess.
(Both Johnny and Solomon get inside the ring with microphones in their hands. “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” begins to come to a close while Johnny gets ready to talk.)
Johnny Andrews: You’ve been doing a whole lot of talking tonight. See, we already have bigger fish to fry, seeing as we got our eyes on The High Rollerz, but we see that business is picking up in the tag team division. We’re not going to pass up an opportunity to pick up another victory and show everyone what we’re capable of at a major event. We have actually already proven ourselves as a team against people who matter, like the World Heavyweight Champion The Visual Prophet. We’re already a far better, more cohesive team than the two of you could ever be, and given the opportunity, we could easily prove it.
(Before Johnny can continue, Kirk Redwood holds his hand up and interrupts.
Kirk Redwood: Yeah, that’s all well and good, but quite frankly we don’t give a fuck about what you’ve done. You already came out here, so I can only assume that means one thing. You’re here to accept our challenge right? If not, get the fuck out of here, so someone else can.
Solomon Stane: Alright take it easy “tough guy”. We all want something out of this situation. You two want a challenge for Shock Value… and the two of us want a warm up and Shock Value seems like the perfect place to send The High Rollerz a message. It’s clear that we can work something out right now. You two might think that you have something special here, but we are for a fact special. Once we take you two out, we’ll move onto that “legendary tag team” known as The High Rollerz and remove them from the record books. We are the newest and greatest tag team, and there’s nothing you can ever do to stop us. You have opened the floodgates to something you can’t stop. That momentum that you think you had is about to go out the window, because you have the unfortunate task of having to face off against the two of us. But don’t you forget, this match isn’t about you, this is about us. All this is, is a FPV match where we send a message to someone else. We are using you. The fact that it’s you two specifically in this match means nothing. WE ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE!
(“Shadow of the Cemetery Man” by Rob Zombie picks up as Johnny and Solomon smirk down at the ring, and leave the ramp to backstage.)
Persephone: What did he say his name is? Solomon Stane??? That’s not a real name, what the fuck? STANE??? God Dynasty is filled with 50 year old Dungeon and Dragon nerds huh? What a fucking loser. This match is going to be fucking AWFUL!
Rich Russillo: Oooorr it’s going to be amazing because everyone in EAW is uber-talented, and provides the best wrestling in the world!
Persephone: There’s like maybe 3 good people in EAW, please shut the fuck up. Stop dick riding the company.
James Peters: So pessimistic…
(As Kirk and Shane remain inside of the ring, Voltage begins to fade away from ringside.)
(As Voltage fades away from ringside, the camera opens to the backstage area of the Target Center, more specifically, Gorilla Position. It is there where EAW Network Host & Backstage Announcer Molly Waters is seen minding her business against a wall. The situation is bustling, with employees and familiar Elitists walking past her, while for her, she just seems to be minding her business. Contrary to belief, there’s not much for her to do tonight, so she’s scrolling through her phone casually and just letting the night pass by. While she does so though, out of nowhere she receives something that causes her to raise an eyebrow. It’s a video file on her email, which is something that certainly piqued her interest as she opens it and begins to cautiously watch it.)
(While she watches the footage, he is also shown on live television as well. It’s pre-taped footage, made known that it is set **before** King of Elite as it plays out. The camera focuses on a sleek black car which is seen pulling up to the front of what looks to be a fancy, exotic restaurant. The front door opens as a figure clad in a completely black suit is seen stepping out, revealing themselves to be none other than Drake King. The at the time challenger for the EAW World Champion is seen rubbing his temple, taking a look at his phone for clarification, then back up at the restaurant.)
Drake King: This better be worth my time…
(It’s clear that even he is confused as to why he’s here as he begins to make his way into the restaurant, while the camera begins to transition over to the inside. He makes his way over to the Hostess that’s seen at the front desk as she looks up with a smile.)
Hostess: Hello, do you have any reservations with us here tonight?
Drake King: Well, I’m supposed to be… Meeting someone here. Is that correct?
Hostess: Ah, is your name Drake… King…?
Drake King: Yes…
Hostess: Alright, the person you’re looking for is already seated, please come with me.
Drake King: Interesting…
(Despite the response, it’s clear that Drake is more on the confused side, and not too amused by all of this yet. The Hostess takes a menu and proceeds to make her way over to the table while Drake follows trying to mentally get a grasp on this situation in his head. Who would use his wrestling name for reservations? Who even got his number in the first place to invite him here? Most importantly, why the heck was he here? All of those questions and more were answered as he approached the table, his movements completely halting in its place as he looks towards the person that he’s meant to meet.)
Drake King: No…
???: Hey there, glad you could show up. By all means take a seat.
(Drake is completely frozen for a moment, hoping to have his questions answered… The only thing he got out of this was even more questions. He weighs his options for a moment, before slowly pulling up a chair and taking a seat.)
Drake King: Why did you bring me here… Xander?
(The camera goes over to reveal the person to be the recently returned, though not at the time, Xander Payne. He’s seen reading the menu, not even looking at Drake, before he gently places it back down onto the table and looks over at his former acquaintance.)
Xander Payne: Just as I expected, always looking to cut right to business, fuck the formalities. Let me be polite, are you sure you don’t want to order anything off the menu? I’ll pay for it.
Drake King: Why. Am. I. Here?
Xander Payne: No? Alright I guess I’ll order something myself.
Drake King: (Mumbling) Disgusting…
Xander Payne: Did you say something? Nothing? Okay, if you want to know why you’re here I’ll try to make this as brief as possible. You see I’ve been gone for quite a bit, one or two months you’d say? Personally I don’t like to count it makes me all the more eager to get back into the ring. But thanks to that time off, I’ve gotten the opportunity to think things over. I’ve had this idea in my head for quite some time, but I haven’t been able to execute it. Now that I have some time on my plate, I’d like to say I can make it work. I’m here today to pitch you an opportunity to venture off into greener pastures. After you’re done with… him… I’d like you and I to talk some more so we can start something together. Say, The Payne Republic?
Drake King: The what?
Xander Payne: I’ve had the time to look things over, Drake. Let me tell you right now, despite whatever bullshit you’ve been going on about, you have one quality that is outmatched by any, and that’s talent. Why waste something like that waging a “war” against EAW?
Drake King: Excuse you?
(Drake is already over this conversation, but Xander continues to speak.)
Xander Payne: They’re not going to listen to you, so your talents, as I said it, are better suited to be used in another facet of our sport. I know a lot of people in EAW that are nothing more than pampered pieces of shit. I don’t like much about them, and I don’t think they deserve the platform that has been graciously handed to them. I’d like to start my return by getting rid of them, and making sure they aren’t a problem anymore. That’s what The Payne Club is all about.
Drake King: No.
Xander Payne: I knew you’d say that, but it’s a good idea, trust me. My first target is Andre Walker. He was the person that allowed me to realize this by putting me on the shelf, and I’m not going to let him go about his days without a consequence for his actions. I’m sure you can agree.
Drake King: No I can’t, because none of this benefits me, or anyone besides you for that matter. So far I have not heard a single thing come out of your mouth that takes my concerns into consideration, not a single one. This is only about you Xander, and I should’ve expected nothing less. The only reason I’m even on your mind right now is because you want someone doing your dirty laundry. The answer is no. The biggest mistake I could ever make in my life is joining a team that has your name in it anyway.
Xander Payne: The Payne Dynasty can benefit everyone if given the right motive-
Drake King: You can’t even decide on a name. This is ridiculous.
Xander Payne: It’s not, and I thought you’d be able to understand that considering your time in New Eden-
Drake King: If there’s one thing my time in New Eden taught me, it’s that you can’t trust anyone, because they’ll always find a way to stab you in the back anyway. I’m not making that mistake again. So I will tell you right now the last person I’m even going to consider trusting is you of all people. We can’t even go an entire conversation without you making the entire situation about yourself. You should be ashamed of yourself, I’m leaving.
Xander Payne: Wait, wait…
(Xander holds out his hand while Drake is about to get up out of his seat, his head looking back in disgust while Xander tries to alleviate the situation and somehow find some common ground. Because if there’s one thing he realized, it’s the fact this conversation isn’t going anywhere near like he expected right now.)
Xander Payne: It’s clear you just need some time to think this over-
Drake King: No I do not my answer is-
Xander Payne: IT’S CLEAR… you just need some time to think this over… so I’m going to give you some time. It’s my fault for throwing such a question at you especially since we haven’t spoken in however long it’s been. Whenever you’re ready to reconsider joining The Payne Corporation… just know that the offer is still on the table, and you’ll know where to find me.
(Drake, without saying another word, immediately turns around and briskly makes his way out of the restaurant. It’s clear that he’s very unhappy about what had happened here tonight and that he’d rather die than accept whatever Xander has put out for him. Xander, still seated there, looks around at all of the people looking at him with a gaped expression, before excusing himself and slowly making his way out of the scene as well.)
(The footage goes from there back to the backstage area of the Target Center in present time. Where, just as the footage has ended, Molly Waters has also finished watching it as well. She puts her phone away and nods her head slowly, letting the footage embed into her brain and let it all sink in, somewhat surprised at what she’s watched as well. After a while, she quickly turns around and begins to make her way out of the scene quickly, which is the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage begins to transition to elsewhere.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside where Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following Tag Team contest is scheduled FOR!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
( ‘The Beginning’ by ONE OK ROCK plays over the sound system of the arena as Mary and Becca are making their way to the ring standing side by side. )
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Weighing in at 248 pounds! Mary S. Atlas and Becca Black: MARYYYYYYYYBECCAAAAAAA!!!!!
Persephone: What a goofy fucking name.
James Peters: The two of them don’t agree with you though, those two are looking to fight their way to a tag team title opportunity as they take on the makeshift team of Lucas Johnson and Donovan Duke!
Rich Russillo: They look as hungry as ever and surely facing the current National Elite Champion and the former New Breed Champion must not be something that scares her! Mary who recently battled for a unique opportunity at King of Elite but came up short.
( “Ready to Die” by The Notorious B.I.G. starts to play as Lucas Johnson makes his way to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd. )
Bella Braxton: AAAAAAAAND HIS OPPONENT! He is from Long Island, New York! Weighing in at 210 pounds; “THE EMPEROR OF VIOLENCE” LUCAS JOHNSON!
James Peters: Lucas managed to emerge out of King of Elite with an opportunity to become Champion despite having lost the TLC match during that event! He will face the new National Elite Champion at Shock Value BUT FIRST… He must work along with him tonight!
Rich Russillo: An unlikely tag-team the likes our General Manager loves to make them! Two men at odds against one another were forced to work together to achieve victory! We heard this before… But Can They Co-Exist?
(Then “The Outsiders” by Eric Church starts to play as Donovan Duke makes his way to the stage. He raises the National Elite Championship above his head, before beginning to make his way down to the ring, showing tons of focus in this upcoming match.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS TAG TEAM PARTNER. From Stillwater, Oklahoma. Weighing 212 pounds. He is The National Elite Champion; DONOVAN DUKE!
James Peters: Here comes the brand new EAW National Elite Champion! One of the biggest winners of King of Elite who cashed in his 24/7 contract near the end of what was one hell of a match between then Champion Minerva and her contender Jake Smith.
Rich Russillo: Some will say this title win was well overdue, but one thing is for sure now the Duke is a marked man and I believe he is aware of that. I look forward to seeing what kind of Champion he will be but tonight he must compete in tag team action with his contender and that will be mighty interesting.
Persephone: Whatever.
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
James Peters: And Here We GO! This match is officially underway! Both teams are moving up to face each other in the center of the ring. Donovan and Lucas are rather silent in their stance as their opponents are quite vocal. Black and Johnson are looking to start Donovan and Atlas retreats to their respective corners AND BECCA THROWS A QUICK KNEE TO JOHNSON’S MIDSECTION BEFORE RUSHING AT DUKE CLOCKING HIM IN THE FACE! The National Elite Champion drops to the outside of the ring much to the pleased smirk of Atlas who gets spun around by Lucas who then throws a few knife edge chops at her against the ropes!
Rich Russillo: Lucas not looking to mess around as he whips Becca to the ropes and tackles her down with a stiff shoulder! She gets back up again, daring him to tackle her and he goes for it BUT she counters with a lariat! Down goes Lucas who gets up to a vertica-SHE CLIPS HIM WITH A DROPKICK! Once again the former New Breed Champion gets back up and goes towards his opponent WHO HUGS HIM AND DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! This time Lucas stays down long enough for Becca to back herself towards her corner and tag in her partner.
Persephone: The won’t-ever-be-a-couple now inside the ring. They oughta get a room.
James Peters: Mary goes to try and get a hold of her opponent but much to the crowd’s displeasure Lucas rolls outside of the ring wanting none of the women he tried to court a while back, pointing to the side of his head not-LOOK OUT!! FROM THE TOP ROPES FLIES MARY INTO A SUICIDE DIVE TURNED INTO A TORNADO DDT!!! LUCAS IS DRILLED HEADFIRST INTO THE FLOOR TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!
Rich Russillo: WOAH!!
James Peters: The crowd loves it as Mary is saluting them with a massive smile on her face! Becca in her corner is jumping, very much happy of the successful move while Duke yells at his contender for the National Elite Championship to do better and snap out of it!
Rich Russillo: Mary quickly slips inside the ring running to the opposite ropes she comes back AND LEAPS OVER THE TOP ROPES FOR THE TOPE CON HILOOOOOOOOOO!! SHE LANDS PERFECTLY ATOP OF LUCAS BEFORE SALUTING THE CROWD ONCE AGAIN!!
Crowd: ATLAS AIRLINES! Clap! Clap! CLAPCLAPCLAP! ATLAS AIRLINES! Clap! Clap! CLAPCLAPCLAP! ATLAS AIRLINES! Clap! Clap! CLAPCLAPCLAP!
James Peters: Meanwhile Mary moves Lucas to his feet he is all sorts of dazed following two successful aerial attacks by Mary who then whips him against the apron then rolls him inside the ring! She gets him up, throws a few punches to his face before whipping hi-no he reversed it! Irish Whip by Lucas and MARY TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A REBOUND LARIAT! The Ladies tonight are showing their opposition what they are made of! A SHINING WIZARD BY LUCAS JUST AS MARY WAS MOVING HIM TO HIS FEET NAILS ATLAS DOWN!
Rich Russillo: He took the opening given by his opponent and went for it! Lucas picks her up, three fists to the face later he sends her to the ropes TAKING HER DOWN WITH A BIG CLOTHESLINE!!! He gets her vertical again and this time clocks her with a clothesline TO THE BACK OF THE NECK! He moves to Donovan Duke who gets inside the ring after beinf tagged in, and he waits for Lucas to whip Mary into the ropes BEFORE TAKING HER DOWN WITH A SPINEBUSTEEEEEERRR!!
James Peters: Duke has Atlas over his head in a Military Press HE IS BENCH PRESSING HER WITH EASE! HE THEN DRIVES HER DOWN WITH A POWERSLAM! Donovan Duke early on with a dominating performance as he picks up Mary and swings her down to the mat with a neck breaker!! Mary is in trouble right now writhing on her back and Duke is going down manoeuvering INTO A BOW AND ARROW SUBMISSION MANOEUVER!! HE IS TRYING TO CHOKE HER OUT!!
Persephone: Lucky for her though, look at her foot!
Rich Russillo: Indeed she is able to get out of that predicament she was close enough to the ropes to put a boot on them the official sees it and orders the Champion to let go of his opponent. He does so after a few short seconds before standing behind her as she is getting back up. ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD BY DONOVAN DUKE!
Persephone: Seems to me like he’s sending a message to both MaryBecca AND Lucas with that sequence.
James Peters: You might be right with Shock Value now less than 20 days away now and he’s actually looking at Lucas for a few good seconds before picking up Atlas by her hair, hoisting her up in a powerbomb position HE BUCKLE BOMBS HER TO HER CORNER!! HE’S POINTING AT BECCA CALLING HER OUT HE WANTS TO FIGHT HER NOW!!
Rich Russillo: Black, not the type to back down gladly tags herself in she goes through the ropes DUKE TRIES FOR A SUPERKICK BUT THE THUNDERBOLT DUCKS SHE WAS INCHES AWAY FROM GETTING A TASTE OF DONOVAN’S BOOT! AND SHE FIGHTS IT BACK WITH AN STO!! THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION IS DOWN AND BECCA IS STALKING HIM UP! HE GETS UP AND TURNS TO FACE HER AND GETS RIGHT INTO A CUTTEEEEEEEEEER!!!!
Persephone: Cover by Becca!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Welp, what was I expecting really.
James Peters: Becca Black with a strong offense against the Decimator who lifted the shoulder up! Black nods to herself, the message surely in now as she picks up Donovan and throws him hard into the ropes TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A PICTURE PERFECT SPINEBUSTER!!!! She has the momentum now as she moves around Duke and the sets him up for a SHINING WIZARD! SHE DOES IT!! She then whips him back to her corner where she tags in Mary to get back into this fight! Mary unloads with a flurry of kicks stomping a mudhole into Duke SHE DRILLS HER KNEE TO HIS FACE WITH AN ENZUIGIRI BEFORE RUNNING TO HIS CORNER! She taunts Lucas who tries to swipe a fist at her then she runs back AND THROWS HERSELF AT DUKE WITH THE RUNNING HIP ATTACK!! She moves Duke to sit on the top turnbuckle, Lucas now inside the ring wanting to stop this BUT BECCA GOES TO HIM WITH A POUNCE AND THEN THE TWO ROLLS OUT OF THE RING BRAWLING IT UP!
Rich Russillo: Back inside the ring Mary is setting up Duke for a super frankensteiner!! SHE THROWS HERSELF! IT LANDS BUT DUKE ROLLED WITH IT AND TURNED THIS INTO A PINFALL ATTEMPT!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Rich Russillo: Mary with the shoulder up! This match goes on!
James Peters: Folks we have to go to a commercial break! Don’t go anywhere this match continues right after this!!

Persephone: Are you done kissing ass to get butts in seats? Jesus Christ!
Rich Russillo: During the break, the National Elite Champion managed to gain some measure of momentum and kept Becca Black, who’s now the legal woman, away from her partner. She is in dire need of a tag if she wants to maintain her team’s chances to win this match! Becca is on her knees, Duke is standing before her proud of his work so far as he throws a few strikes to her face. She Dares Him To Strike Harder!! Duke gladly obliges with a few MMA strikes to the face and body AND SHE REVERSES! NOW DUKE IS IN THE CORNER FEELING THE WRATH OF BECCA WHO’S THROWING JABS, LEFTS, RIGHTS, AND FINISHES WITH AN UPPERCUT! DUKE HAS HIS BACK LEANT ON THE CORNER BEHIND HIM!
James Peters: This is Becca’s chance to get back to her corner and tag in Mary who can barely contain herself as she extends the arm trying to reach at her partner who’s limping her way BUT DUKE GRABBED HER FOOT TRYING TO STOP HER! HE TRIES TO TWIST IT INTO AN ANKLE LOCK BUT SHE GETS HIM OFF HIM WITH AN ENZUIGIRI!!!! BLACK LEAPS! MARY IS IN AND SHE POUNCES AT DUKE WITH A THESZ PRESS THROWING AT HIM RAPID PUNCHES UNDER THE ROARS OF THE CROWD WHO LOVES IT!!
Rich Russillo: Mary throws Duke into the ropes, she has the advantage but Duke ducks a clothesline attempt he turns around and throws a kick to the midsection and moves quickly setting up DRAWING DREAD!! THE MICHINOKU DRIVER DRILLS MARY DOWN! DONOVAN HOOKS THE LEGS!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Damn it bitch! Let this match end already!
James Peters: Lucas with the same as he throws himself on Mary to break the pin AND HERE COMES BECCA JUMPING AT LUCAS WITH FISTS AS THE TWO OF THEM NOW ROLLS OUTSIDE OF THE RING BATTLING IT OUT TO THE OUTSIDE!! Donovan got back up to his feet looking down at the brawl outside the ring shouting at Becca before turning around AND RECEIVING NINE MILES!! THE HELLUVA KICK RIGHT IN THE KISSER!!! MARY WITH THE COVER!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRR-
Persephone: That would’ve been quite the ending.
Rich Russillo: Donovan kicks out of the pin right after a nasty looking 9 Miles from Mary! Donovan needs to focus on his opponent in the ring as Mary moves to her corner tagging in Becca! Donovan managed to crawl his way to his own corner, Lucas not wanting the tag but ends up going in anyway he goes for Becca WHO GRABS HIM AND TAKES DOWN THE MAN WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!! Becca is now in command of the match as she lays down Lucas with a body slam she then takes him up, throws a few fists to his face before throwing him into the ropes! She hoists him up TAKING HIM DOWN WITH THE BECCA DRIVER!! THE DREAM VALLEY DRIVER CONNECTS!!
Persephone: PIN HIM!!
James Peters: She doesn’t seem to want and do that as she drags Lucas closer to a corner and goes topside! Are we going to see Feelin’ Froggy? She measures her opponent, SHE LEAPS FOR THE FIVE STAR FR-BLUUUUUUUUEEEEEEPRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINT!!!! OH MY GAWD LUCAS JUST GOT HIMSELF UP ENOUGH TO LAND THE CUTTER ON BECCA JUST AS IF WAS ABOUT TO LAND ON HIM!!! WHAT A DESPERATION COUNTER BY LUCAS JOHNSON WHO GETS AN ARM OVER HIS OPPONENT!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRR-
Rich Russilo: BLACK BY SOME MIRACLE KICKED OUT!!!! THIS MATCH IS STILL ALIVE!!!
James Peters: Donovan tags in Lucas before going to hold her so Lucas can throw in one last move before going outside on the apron. Lucas measures Mary, he throws himself for a Superkick BUT MARY SLIPS OUT OF DONOVAN’S GRIP! DUKE GETS THE BOOT OF LUCAS RIGHT IN THE FACE!!!
Perseophone: HA!
Rich Russillo: LUCAS IS STUNNED HE DIDN’T MEAN THIS TO HAPPEN THIS GIVES AN OPENING TO BECCA TO SUPERKICK HIM TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!! HEADSHOT BY BECCA TO LUCAS TAKING HIM OUT!!
James Peters: LOOK AT MARY!! SHE IS UP TOP ON A TURNBUCKLE!!! SHE THROWS HERSELF AT DONOVAN WITH MACHO MADNESS!! THE DIVING ELBOW DROP TO DONOVAN FOLLOWED BY A PIN!! WILL THAT BE ENOUGH??
Rich Russillo: COVER FOR THE WIN!!!

( DING! DING!! DING!!! )
( ‘The Beginning’ by ONE OK ROCK plays over the sound system of the arena as Mary Atlas is getting her lead arm raised in victory by the official. Becca joins her soon after hugging her friend as they celebrate this win!)
Bella Braxton: Ladies And Gentlemen The Winner Of This Bout: MARYBECCA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: A stroke of chance for Mary and Becca who gets what otherwise is a well earned victory tonight!
Rich Russillo: Duke and Johnson certainly deserved a better fate tonight but one mistake was all it took for these two young ladies to leave tonight with the victory! Congratulations!
Persephone: They probably would’ve won anyway to be honest. The good news NOW is we can move onto something else! Hopefully not a Ryan Wilson promo or something.
(As MaryBecca celebrates their victory, and Donovan sits up, holding his jaw in pain with a frustrated look on his face, Voltage fades from the area.)
(Voltage fades to a promotional ad for Shock Value, where Myles defends his EAW World Championship against Ryan Wilson.)
(Sunday Night Voltage fades back into a panaround shot of the Target Center where the crowd is seen bustling in anticipation for whatever’s next in an already jam packed show. Their prayers are answered as ‘Zombie’ by Bad Wolves is heard blasting through the speakers of the arena with the crowd roaring into absolutely thunderous cheers. The camera pans over to the stage to show Ms. Extreme beginning to make her way out from the backstage area to the stage, a warm smile being shown on her face while she scans the arena. It’s clear that something is missing in her entrance tonight, and it feels peculiar to see her without it, but nonetheless, she’s out here tonight and she’s here to talk about it as well. Ms. Extreme continues to smile, looking towards the ring now, before beginning to make her way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… MS. EXTREME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well we all saw what happened at King of Elite after a grueling match for the Universal Women’s Championship. Champion at the time Ms. Extreme walked into the bout with high ambitions looking to come out on top against a worthy adversary in the form of Andrea Valentine. She gave it her all, willing to risk everything to make sure that she kept her Championship and kept her promise intact. But in the end, her heart wasn’t enough to surpass The Beating Heart that Andrea had, with her finding herself looking up at the lights in the end with Andrea becoming the new Universal Women’s Champion. It has to be bittersweet for her tonight, and it looks like the reason she’s out here right now is to address it.
James Peters: You have to wonder what she’s going to say, most of all, what’s next from here? Ms. Extreme is sure to have left a lasting impression after what was undoubtedly a record-breaking Universal Women’s Championship reign, I’m sure that she’s not going to stop there. There is still so much that she’s able to do here in Elite Answers Wrestling, and we know that her journey is far from done here. There’s so many possibilities, but tonight, Ms. Extreme is out here to set it straight. Especially with Shock Value coming up in just a few weeks, I’m sure she of all people is anxious to get in on the action while she can.
Persephone: Ugh, I thought that abysmal Championship reign was already a good enough indicator that she is hot garbage. Now we have to go through another piss poor run where she spends a solid year or two chasing after a Championship that she’s nowhere near capturing? I fucking hate this company more than you could imagine.
(Ms. Extreme jumps up onto the apron, looking around once more before entering into the ring. She takes a circle around, shaking her limbs off before climbing up to the top rope and pointing around at the crowd members in attendance tonight as they continue to cheer for her. Before long, Ms. Extreme then proceeds to jump off the top rope and back onto the canvas, continuing to hype up the crowd while she makes her way over to take a microphone from the Timekeeper’s area. She then makes her way towards the center of the ring, ‘Zombie’ beginning to come to a close as she takes a moment to let the crowd die down. It isn’t long after that, she brings her microphone up to her mouth and begins to speak.)
Ms. Extreme: Words can’t describe how much the Universal Women’s Championship meant to me, but I’ll try my best anyway. I was always chasing after this Championship, directly or indirectly. If there’s one thing that’s in common between those two, it’s that I felt like I deserved it either way. I felt like I deserved the world quite frankly, because I was, and still am in case you didn’t know, the best professional wrestler to ever grace Elite Answers Wrestling, man or woman. It’s something that I was unapologetic about, and a World Championship run was the final piece to the puzzle in the whole grand scheme of things. So when I won the Women’s No Way Out match and got an opportunity to participate at Pain For Pride in a match for the Universal Women’s Championship, I wasn’t going to leave California without my hand raised high and that Championship raised higher. Long story short, I did that.
Ms. Extreme: I fucking did that, and I went onto have a reign that can be embedded into the history books. One that will not be forgotten for a long time, and rightfully so. Because I did exactly what I said I would and more, that being the goal of elevating the Universal Women’s Championship to new heights and bringing it to the next level under my possession. I welcomed all challengers and assured them that no matter how much they tried, there was absolutely nobody that was going to stop me from continuing my reign as a ‘Forever Champion’, I continued to make that known. I went through hell and back, facing challenger after challenger, from singles matches to Extreme Elimination Chamber matches… and I became the longest reigning Universal Women’s Champion. Now that, no matter how you may look at me, love or hate me, is a pretty fucking amazing feat if you ask me.
Ms. Extreme: I did that, and more, making it known that I was the best World Champion around and nobody was going to stop me. Of course, despite that statement, we know that all good things must come to an end. Even though I made it known that I wasn’t going to lose that Championship in a long time, there was always going to be a situation that presented itself where I didn’t really have a choice. Andrea Valentine happened to be that situation for me, and I feel that despite the war of words that was traded between the two of us, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I said it all throughout the buildup, but I feel that Andrea deserves the world, and I know that one way or another she will shine as Universal Women’s Champion like I know she will. In the end, I think that’s all I really want out of it.
Ms. Extreme: In hindsight getting the opportunity to look back, I’m really proud of the magic I was able to create during that reign. With what felt like such a short time for me, despite the records saying otherwise, I was really able to do a lot and in the end that’s all I ever wanted. I’m able to look back at it with pride, and say that I finally did it. I finally did what I set out to do all those years ago, and I became a World Champion. Even though all of that is over, I can say for certain that I am just getting started. I haven’t even reached my peak yet, but when I do? Let me just say that it will be a dangerous sight for anyone who decides to get in my way.
(After she says that, Ms. Extreme takes a step back, a disappointed look suddenly beginning to grow on her face while she looks down at the canvas. It’s clear that what she’s about to say next will be a complete tonal shift from the remiscant moment that she had looking back at her Universal Women’s Championship reign. After a pause, she continues to speak from there.)
Ms. Extreme: Unfortunately, during my match with Andrea though, I suffered a concussion. Nothing new, I know, but it was enough to keep me down for a bit. Thankfully, it’s not as bad as expected, and it’s only going to be a couple of weeks. I’m especially thankful for the fact that I will be cleared in time for Shock Value, and I think I feel the need to get myself involved. I’ve heard this whole “#EAW15” thing running around and I’m going to be honest here, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to get in on the whole dream match wave. So let’s do it huh? Let’s set out a challenge and let’s see if that certain person is going to accept!
(Ms. Extreme raises her microphone in the air as the crowd roars in approval once again. There are a lot of dream matches that associate with Ms. Extreme, and it’s clear that the EAW Universe right now are weighing their options on who could be the one that she has in mind.)
Ms. Extreme: There’s one Elitist who embodies everything that I believe in, and there’s no doubt that they go down as one of the all-time greats. This person is known for their no-fucks-given attitude and their ability to bring the hardcore and deathmatch style to an entirely different level. I’m sure all the sadistic fucks here on Voltage would absolutely love a bit more of that at Shock Value, wouldn’t you? So let me say it right now, at Shock Value…
(Ms. Extreme pauses, letting the suspense begin to creep in as before long, a smirk begins to crawl on her face. She slowly brings her microphone down for a moment staring at the hard camera that’s pointed at her. Before long, the imaginary drumroll begins to kick in and Ms. Extreme once again begins to speak.)
Ms. Extreme: At Shock Value I want Cage.
(The crowd bursts into an absolutely deafening wave of applause once again. The last time Cage was seen in an EAW ring was last year at An Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular where he went up against Ronan Malosi and came out victorious. Now a challenge has been set out for the Hall of Famer to return by a more formidable opponent in the form of Ms. Extreme. The prospect of a gruesome and bloody match between the two of them runs through the minds of many, and it’s an amazing one. The only question is, will Cage accept?)
Ms. Extreme: So let’s do it huh? Next week on Voltage I’m giving out a personal invitation for Cage himself to come out here and address the challenge that I’ve set out, hopefully we can make something happen. The only thing else I can say, I hope that he’s man enough to show up and accept.
(Ms. Extreme drops her microphone down to the ground as ‘Zombie’ once again plays up, the crowd cheering their lungs out for the former Universal Women’s Championship while she looks around with her hands on her hips and a smile on her face. Letting the atmosphere right now soak in as she nods her head slowly.)
Rich Russillo: WHOA! Did you hear the same thing I just heard too James?! Ms. Extreme just challenged EAW Hall of Famer Cage for Shock Value!
James Peters: I heard the same thing, and let me just say if Cage happens to accept, I just can’t wait for it! We all know what the two of them are capable of doing in the ring, especially in a scenario where you completely throw the rulebook out the window and go for broke in a bare bones deathmatch! I think it’s safe to say that the winner in that situation is everyone that’s watching! This is going to be amazing!
Persephone: :yikes: Here we go trying to get that homeless man off the streets again because apparently he’s “good” at wrestling. His peak was facing Rexy at Fighting Spirit: Omaha and he should be ashamed that he decided to wrestle anytime after that. I hope he doesn’t accept and just leaves so we don’t have to watch the first ever negative five star match.
(Ms. Extreme then rolls out of the ring and begins to make her leave, heading up the ramp and towards the backstage area while she sporadically high fives fans seated in the front row. It’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage then begins to transition to elsewhere.)
(Voltage cuts to an ad promoting EAW 2K22, featuring Jon Kelton who plays the game as himself, but with his stats edited to have an overall of 100.)
(Voltage fades backstage inside of the offices of Captain Charisma, the esteemed Commissioner of Voltage, he is on the cellphone talking to someone. The door slowly opens, and he looks up….)
Captain Charisma: … hey Hawk, going to have to call you back, I have one of my Elitists here that I need to speak with. Take it easy.
(Captain Charisma stands up and standing right across from him is none other than the former National Elite Champion, Minerva and she doesn’t look to be in the best of moods, dressed in her street attire.)
Captain Charisma: Minerva, I’m glad you came by…. I…
(She quickly cuts him off….)
Minerva: I don’t mean to cut you off, but we both know why I am here. Before I go any further though I just want to look at you eye to eye and tell you…. That I am sorry for losing my way and making your life a living hell.
(Captain Charisma is taken back by this but he nods and extends his hand out. She looks down at it and accepts the handshake.)
Captain Charisma: Thank you for that.
Minerva: But don’t mistake that apology for me going soft or suddenly be someone that is going to play by the rules. Minerva does what she wants and when she wants to do it. Now, I’m pissed, and I am also extremely annoyed. I want to throw shit, maybe even scream really loud at how things went down for me at King of Elite. I was going to retain my championship even if that is not the way I wanted to do so, semantics really, but whatever. Donovan Duke cashes in and now I have nothing. I don’t like walking around with nothing. But then came the match with Drake King and Myles, yes I did get involved because I am not going to let that son of a bitch get away with this ever again. I had to make sure that he understood once all this was over that while he and Myles had their fun, now it is my turn. I WANT DRAKE KING AT SHOCK VALUE and I don’t care what stupid stipulation you put on it, after last year? You saw what I can do and while that birdie bitch is gone, Drake is up next. Give him to me Captain…. Give him to me NOW!
(Captain Charisma sighs and sits down….)
Captain Charisma: Minerva… please sit down.
Minerva: I rather stand.
Captain Charisma: Please, I insist, and we need to talk about this.
(Minerva looks a little confused but goes ahead and sits down. Her icy blue eyes glare at Captain Charisma as he seems very uncomfortable with the whole situation…)
Minerva: What is going on?
Captain Charisma: Minerva… unfortunately Drake King has filed assault charges against you….
(Her eyes quickly widen….)
Minerva: … He pressed assault charges??
Captain Charisma: Minerva….
(The bewildered Gypsy doesn’t give him a chance to speak.)
Minerva: He pressed assault charges…. HE DID WHAT!?!?!?!!?
Captain Charisma: He filed assault charges against you because of the attack after the match at King of Elite. Since you were not a participant in the match, he used that loophole and he also filed a restraining order against you Minerva, so technically you two can’t even be in the same building.
(She starts rubbing her temples, absolutely flabbergasted, in disbelief, trying not to lose her cool but it is near impossible for her to do so. She stands up and starts to pace, Captain Charisma also gets back on his feet, trying to console her…)
Minerva: Of all the low-down dirty fucking tricks, Matthiaseu!? After all his dumbass shit he has been pulling, all that I have been through with this asshat this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of, this takes the cake! Tell me this is bullshit! Tell me that you are ribbing me right now and this is all a fucking joke!
Captain Charisma: Siobhan… listen to me. I wish it was, but it isn’t, okay. He pressed charges for Assault, he has a restraining order against you and right now we have EAW Legal on it, the best lawyers figuring out what the hell is going on here, but until the matter is resolved? I can’t have you and Drake in the same ring, you two cannot wrestle and that is to protect you from legal issues, not to protect Drake from the ass kicking he deserves, trust me on that.
(Now Minerva is starting to panic, upset that her whole purpose now was to put Drake King down, but she can’t. He pulled a fast one on the Gypsy, and now she continues to pace….)
Minerva: What the hell am I supposed to do for Shock Value now!? I have lost everything, Captain! Everything! All I have left is this! He is not taking this from me! He won’t…. he…..
(But before she could finish, the door flies open, and Ms. Extreme walks in not even noticing Minerva standing there…)
Ms. Extreme: Alright Captain, make sure Cage is here ne-
(But before she can finish, she can feel someone standing right behind her, quickly turning around to be face to face with Minerva….)
Minerva: Cage?
(The two stare each other down, there is obviously some tension since everything went down at Road to Redemption and the fall of New Eden, as well as what happened just before King of Elite between these two.)
Ms. Extreme: Minnie… I didn’t know you were here.
Minerva: That’s because you just barged in while I was talking to Matthiaseu.
Ms. Extreme: Oh, we are on first name basis now. Right….
Minerva: You and I were too. Answer the question. Cage?
Ms. Extreme: Yes, Cage. I wanted a dream match for Shock Value, so I called out Cage.
(Minerva chuckles a little and looks back at Ms. Extreme)
Minerva: You know, I could give you that so-called dream match that would make it far more interesting, and considering we do have some things unsettled and it would be the rubber match between the two of us, I think it would be worth our while more, right “friend”?
(Ms. Extreme smiles and places her hand on Minerva’s shoulder, but the Gorgeous Gypsy slowly takes the hand off and drops it….)
Ms. Extreme: Okay, I get it, you’re still pissed at me and got your feathers ruffled over a single comment I made about your reign in comparison to mine, and if you can’t let that go, that is on you.
Minerva: Really? You think it’s that shallow, Camille? This goes FAR beyond that, and you know it.
Ms. Extreme: Drake? You act like I’m dating him and I’m not. Drake is a bozo… a friend, but a fucking bozo. Whatever is going on with you two has nothing to do with me so get over it and go live your life. I’m going to live mine.
Minerva: I see what is going on here and….
(But without warning Captain Charisma clears his throat. They both stop and turn to him, Minerva especially…..)
Captain Charisma: Minerva. I will let you know what happens with the situation that we were discussing earlier. I will get back to you, I promise.
Minerva: You know this is wrong.
(Minerva and Ms. Extreme glare at one another for a moment before she realizes there is nothing more to say and why even bother. She turns and leaves, slamming the door shut behind her startling both Ms. Extreme and Captain Charisma. Frustrated and angry, nothing has been going her way since the fall of New Eden at Road to Redemption. No Drake and apparently not even Ms. Extreme. What is she going to do for Shock Value? Only time will tell.)
(Bella Braxton is shown inside the ring as the shot pans to her)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A SINGLES MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
(“Loser” by Charles Hamilton begins to play as Danny Tanner makes his way onto the Voltage stage.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! WRESTLING OUT OF SARASOTA, FLORRRIDDDAAA!! WEIGHING IN AT 205 POOOUNNDDSSSSS!!! DANNYYYYYY “3 SECOND” TANNNERRRRRRRRR!!!
(Crowd cheers loudly as Danny Tanner walks down the ramp eagerly.)
Rich Russillo: Danny Tanner was on the cusp of his first major accolade here in EAW- but he stepped aside and gave that win to Candice Blair. A selfless act by Danny Tanner, but what could King of Elite have done for him? Now, we’ll never know and he’s going to be faced with a harrowing challenge tonight and the Empress of Elite finalist, Miku Sakai-
(Danny’s music cuts abruptly as the lights turn back on and “Age-Age Money” by LADYBABY begins to play as boos ensue and Danny gets into the ring, smiling and shrugging his shoulders. Miku Sakai walks onto the stage with a microphone in hand.)
Miku Sakai: You know, before I make my way down to that ring and shove my fist down your cunt simpy fucking throat, I have something to say. I have something to say and not just about King-of-fucking-Elite, where it was obviously EAW and the referee doing their very best to create some new and generic cunt fucking elitist that was going to ride off into her little dumb bitch sunset with her fiancé, who fucking FAILED to win the King of Elite. The whole event, top to goddamn bottom was absolute bottom of the barrel bullshit and fucking sucked.
(The crowd boos as Miku still persists on the microphone from the top of the stage.)
Miku Sakai: King of Elite was absolute fucking TRASH, everyone who won was garbage, except Hikari obviously- and because I didn’t win, for reasons that we’ve already established weren’t even my fucking fault, I have to face this forever virgin? This fucking anime watching fat bellied scared of the female race little waste of sperm? This should-be-a-stain-on-the-carpet fucking moron? That’s absolute bullshit and everyone who agreed with this decision should have a curling iron stuck down their throat.
(The crowd chants for Danny Tanner as he starts to feel their energy and smiles at them, Miku is undeterred.)
Miku Sakai: Makes sense…it makes TOTAL fucking sense that you motherfuckers would support this cuntwad- you all had to settle for marrying your first fucking cousin by the looks of it. I’m seeing you in clumps and it looks like inbreeding to the max, you obese, social-lifeless fucking pigs are LOVING rolling around in your shit and slop by supporting failures that are just like you. I hate the lot of you and I know you’re tired of looking at your own ugly ass face in the mirror, so most of you should just do us the favor and kill yourselves.
(The crowd roars in boos agaisnt Miku Sakai as she still trots along the edge of the stage.)
Miku Sakai: There’s one person who should kill herself- Becca Black?! Someone who was so much better off on the injury list. This little “I want to redeem myself” thing? NOBODY is fucking impressed. Nobody cares about you, but I also don’t have a match at Shock Value. So, I see a chance to eradicate this world of little cunt slimes like you. I see the chance to make you know that none of us give a shit about your career or your garbage fucking life, one I can only hope you bring to an end if I don’t after Shock Value.
Miku Sakai: What I’m saying, Becca Black- Is that? I accept your fucking challenge, but be careful what you wish for because you have absolutely no idea what the fuck you’re getting yourself into. A woman who had to be screwed out of the Empress of Elite, against who? Who are you? For months I must’ve thought you and dumb fucking Mary Atlas were the same person because I haven’t heard of you doing anything even remotely fucking noticeable in EAW.
(The crowd boos as Miku finally looks back at Danny.)
Miku Sakai: So at Shock Value, I’ll fucking end that little fake blond whore in dramatic fashion, tonight, I’m gonna put you right back with those other fucking street simps who dream about breathing the same air as women like me, Danny. Rats who’ll never touch a vagina in their life, that’s all the fuck you are.
(Miku Sakai drops the microphone and walks down the ramp as Danny Tanner doesn’t let her comments sway him and he eagerly circles the perimeter of the ring. Miku slides in the ring and doesn’t wait for the referee to ring the bell.)
Rich Russillo: MIKU OUT OF THE GATES, SHE STORMS TANNER AND BLASTS HIM INTO THE CORNER! MIKU ULTRA-AGGRESSIVE AS THE REFEREE IS FORCED TO RING THE BELL!
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: MIKU WITH SHARP FOREARMS TO DANNY TANNER’S HEAD! SHE FORCES DANNY TO A SEATED POSITION- NOW RUNNING OFF THE ROPES AND LUNGING IN WITH A DIVING KNEE! NO! DANNY SLIDES OUT OF THE WAY AND UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE! HE ESCAPES THE MIKU ONSLAUGHT, BUT ONLY FOR A MOMENT- MIKU LOADS UP ON THE ROPES! SHE SPRINGS OVER THE TOP ROPE AND CRUSHES DANNY TANNER WITH A SPRINGBOARD FOREARM! WOW! WHAT A START FROM MIKU AS SHE TURNS IT UP TO 11 FROM THE JUMP!
Rich Russillo: This is an incredible start, but she has to be careful she doesn’t burn herself out too quickly! Miku now rolls Danny back into the ring and follows him in, hot on his heels as he tries to make his way to the corner. She turns him around and STINGS a chip off his chest! A nasty chop from Miku, now she drives a knee into the midsection of Danny, who doubles over and falls to his knees! Miku grabs him by the hair and pulls his face up into the air-
James Peters: BANG! Danny with a counter as he gets some of his own offense going! Danny Tanner now shoots off another big punch that sends Miku stumbling backwards! Now he grabs her and turns this around, bieling Miku into the corner! Danny Tanner moves forward and tries for his own big knee to Miku’s midsection- but she slips out of the way and pops up to the second rope! Now a boot to the face that sends Danny wobbling, he turns back around AND MIKU FLIES OFF THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE WITH A FLYING HEADSCISSORS!!
Rich Russillo: WOW! She sent Danny Tanner flying through the ropes with that one and he’s back on the outside! MIKU COMES OFF THE ROPES AGAIN- DANNY BACK IN THE RING, LIFTS HER UP AND DRIVES HER TO THE GROUND WITH A SPINEBUSTER! A RING RATTLING SPINEBUSTER AS DANNY RUSHES INTO THE COVER OF MIKU SAKAI!
ONE!
TWO-
James Peters: KICKOUT! It’ll take much more to keep Miku down as we saw at King of Elite!
Persephone: Where this bitch says she should’ve won, but got dogwalked by an orthodontist or some shit :mjlol:
Rich Russillo: Miku is just barely up to her feet, but Danny is waiting for her! HE CHARGES OUT WITH A WILD LARIAT- but Miku had that one scouted! She ducks under it and grabs his wrist, now grabbing the other arm AND JUMPING INTO THE AIR! SHE DRAGS HIM DOWN AND MONKEY FLIPS HIM OVER HER AS DANNY BARRELS TO THE CANVAS AND CLUTCHES AT HIS BACK! WHAT A MANEUVER FROM MIKU SAKAI! DANNY TANNER GOES BACK TO THE WELL AS MIKU TRIES TO PUT HIM DOWN WITH MORE MORE FLYING HEADSCISSORS-
James Peters: TANNER CATCHES HER IN MIDAIR AND SPINS HER AROUND INTO A TILTAWHIRL BACKBREAKER!!!! TANNER PUTS MIKU SAKAI DOWN WITH FORCE AS SHE CRASHES DOWN FROM THE SKIES AND BOTH COMPETITORS WINCE IN PAIN! BOTH OF THEM HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH AND THIS MATCH HAS BARELY HAD ANY TIME TO GO UNDERWAY! DANNY IS UP FIRST AS HE BRINGS MIKU UP AND SENDS HER TOWARDS THE ROPES AND BACK, LOOKING TO FLY IN THE AIR AND TAKE HER BACK DOWN WITH A STANDING CROSSBODY!
Rich Russillo: BUT MIKU MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY CAUSING DANNY TO FACEPLANT AGAINST THE CANVAS! DANNY GRABBING HIS FACE WHILE HE ATTEMPTS TO GET UP, BUT MIKU GRABS A HOLD OF HIM BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN INTO AN INVERTED NECKBREAKER! DANNY SHOOTS UP IN PAIN WHILE MIKU RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK, BEFORE STEPPING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A PENALTY KICK TO HIS FACE!
James Peters: MIKU TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES AGAIN, BEFORE STEPPING FORWARD AND GOING FOR ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT A PENALTY KICK! BUT DANNY SEES IT COMING MANAGING TO GRAB A HOLD OF THE LEG AND BRING HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET, BEFORE TAKING MIKU DOWN WITH A DRAGON SCREW MIKU CLUTCHING HER LEG IN PAIN WHILE DANNY IN A RUSH OF ENERGY RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH AN ELBOW DROP TO THE HEART OF MIKU!
Rich Russillo: A flurry of moves being thrown at the former Specialists Champion by Danny ‘3 Second’ Tanner, but look how much not just that, but this entire match has taken out on him! Danny brings her back up, BUT MIKU GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD BEFORE SENDING A WELL-PLACED KNEE TO HIS ABDOMEN! DANNY STUMBLES BACK, BUT MANAGES TO SPIN AROUND AND TAKE MIKU’S HEAD OFF WITH A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE! BOTH ARE DOWN, BUT WAIT, MIKU JUST SHOT UP AND LOCKED IN A SLEEPER HOLD ON DANNY ATTEMPTING TO BRING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND OUT OF NOWHERE!
James Peters: MIKU USING THE LAST OUNCE OF ENERGY THAT SHE HAS LEFT TO WRAP HER ARMS AROUND THE NECK OF DANNY AND CHOKE THE EVER LIVING SHIT OUT OF HIM! DANNY IS TRYING HIS BEST TO WAVE HIS ARMS AROUND AND ESCAPE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME TRYING NOT TO BE TAKEN DOWN TO THE GROUND IN THE PROCESS! DANNY IS TRYING TO ESCAPE BUT WILL BE ABLE TO GET OUT RIGHT NOW?!
Persephone: Hopefully not, this is the most abysmal ‘match trying to be a match’ match I have ever seen in my life. Someone get Captain Charisma on the phone.
Rich Russillo: PERSEPHONE I THINK YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT FOR THAT, AS DANNY MANAGES TO FIND SOME STRENGTH LEFT IN HIM TO RAM MIKU SAKAI’S SPINE AGAINST THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES! MIKU’S HOLD LOOSENS ON DANNY AS DANNY STEPS FORWARD, BEFORE STUMBLING BACK AND SLAMMING MIKU AGAINST THE CORNER AGAIN! MIKU AS A LAST RESORT TURNS DANNY AROUND AND SLAMS HIM INTO THE CORNER HIMSELF, LETTING GO OF THE HOLD AND RETREATING BACKWARD!
James Peters: Danny is backed up against the corner, WHILE MIKU TURNS AROUND AND RUNS FORWARD LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A RUNNING FOREARM STRIKE! BUT DANNY MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AND INSTEAD SEND MIKU SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE POST! MIKU IS FORCED BACK UP BY DANNY AND PRESSED AGAINST THE CORNER, AS NOW DANNY GOES ABSOLUTELY HAM ON HER WITH PUNCH AFTER PUNCH TOWARDS HER FACE!
Rich Russillo: MIKU TRIES HER BEST TO BLOCK AS MANY AS SHE CAN BUT RIGHT NOW DANNY IS ABSOLUTELY TEEING OFF FORCING HER DOWN INTO A SEATED POSITION IN THE CORNER! DANNY STEPPING BACK WHILE MIKU IS PRESSED AGAINST THE CORNER, STUNNED AND TRYING TO FIND HER WAY OUT! BUT DANNY RUNS FORWARD, SOARING THROUGH THE AIR LIKE XANDER PAYNE IN FREE WILLY AND GOING FOR A HESITATION DROPKICK!
James Peters: NO! MIKU MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME! DANNY COLLIDES WITH THE CORNER WHILE MIKU GRABS A HOLD OF HIM AND BRINGS HIM UP TO HIS FEET, BEFORE GRABBING HIM AND LAUNCHING HIM INTO AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! DANNY ROLLS UP TO A KNEE IN AN ATTEMPT TO RECOVER, BEFORE MIKU RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE OF DANNY WHICH TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Rich Russillo: The look on Danny’s face tells all, he’s completely dazed and desperately trying to retreat into the corner in hopes of escaping from the wrath of Miku Sakai. You can tell especially after what happened at King of Elite, she is not happy right now. MIKU RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR MUSTACHE RIDE! BRONCO BUSTER TO THE FACE OF A CORNERED DANNY TANNER!
James Peters: BUT DANNY MANAGES TO AVERT AND STUMBLE AWAY! HARD LANDING FOR MIKU WHILE SHE ATTEMPTS TO PULL HERSELF OUT OF THE CORNER, ONLY TO BE POPPED UP ONTO DANNY’S SHOULDERS AND DROPPED DOWN ONTO HIS KNEE WITH AN USHIGOROSHI! DANNY JUST MANAGED TO PULL OUT A BIG MOVE FROM HIS ARSENAL AS HE ROLLS MIKU OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG GOING FOR A PIN ATTEMPT! COULD THIS BE IT RIGHT HERE?!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE-
Persephone: But unfortunately, this match continues… and I go on to continue to hate every second I’m at this wretched commentary table.
Rich Russillo: Danny slowly beginning to get back up to his feet, tired and exasperated but still managing to push through the pain despite that. Meanwhile Miku is beginning to find her bearings too, realizing that the situation she’s in right now is one that is not really in her best interest. Danny grabbing a hold of Miku by the head and beginning to bring her back up to her feet, Miku is attempting to fight back with all of her might sending punch after punch towards his face! BUT DANNY SENDS A SHARP ELBOW TO THE HEAD OF MIKU TAKING HER BACK! Miku stumbles back, WHILE DANNY TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR A SLINGBLADE!
James Peters: BUT MIKU CATCHES DANNY IN MID-AIR WITH HER BOOT KICKING HIM AWAY CAUSING HIM TO TUMBLE BACK DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS! DANNY SITS UP TRYING TO GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET AS FAST AS HE CAN, BUT MIKU RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A SLIDING D! MIKU SETS DANNY UP ONCE AGAIN, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND THIS TIME CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!
Rich Russillo: MIKU IS JUST BEGINNING TO GET BACK UP TO HER FEET, GRABBING DANNY BY THE HEAD BEFORE SENDING HIM INTO AN IRISH WHIP TOWARDS THE CORNER! DANNY IS BACKED UP, WHILE MIKU RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A BRUTAL KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO HIS CHEST! DANNY IS LIT UP WHILE MIKU STEPS BACK, RUNNING FORWARD AND THIS TIME GOING FOR A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE OF DANNY!
James Peters: BUT DANNY MANAGES TO SHOVE AWAY BEFORE CLIMBING UP TO THE TOP ROPE! LOOKING TO FLY! BUT MIKU QUICKLY JUMPS UP WITH HIM, AND NOW BOTH OF THEM BEGIN TO TRADE PUNCH AFTER PUNCH TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER’S FACE! DANNY’S TRYING TO HOLD ON WHILE MIKU DOES THE SAME AS WELL! AS DANNY CONNECTS WITH A HEADBUTT TO THE SKULL, BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SHOVE MIKU OFF OF THE TOP ROPE! BUT MIKU AS A LAST RESORT MANAGES TO GRAB ONTO HIS ARM AS WELL AS BOTH OF THEM ARE SENT TUMBLING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS! BOTH OF THEM ARE DOWN! BUT IT’S DANNY TANNER WHO IS UP TO HIS FEET FIRST, HE KNOWS THAT HIS BEST CHANCE OF FINISHING MIKU IS RIGHT NOW! SHE’S ON THE ROPES AND DANNY TANNER COULD BE ON THE CUSP OF HIS BIGGEST WIN YET!
Rich Russillo: HE LIFTS MIKU ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AS SHE LABOREDLY FALLS ONTO HIM, “MEIDO ZANGETSUHA”- NO! MIKU SLIPS OUT THE BACK AND SHOVES HIM AGAINST THE ROPES! DANNY STORMS BACK LIKE A THUNDERBOLT- HE GETS LEVELED BY MIKU SAKAI WHO USE A RUNNING HIP ATTACK TO TAKE HIM CLEAN OFF HIS FEET! NOW LIFTING HIM UP AND SETTING HIM IN POSITION FOR THE “STARFALL”!!! MIKU SAKAI HAS HER EYES ON A “STARFALL”, SHE GETS HIM UP, HAS THE ARMS HOOKED, SHE DROPS HIM NECK FIRST TO THE CANVAS AS TANNER’S BODY FOLDS LIKE AN ACCORDION!
James Peters: DANNY TANNER’S BODY JUST SNAPPED IN HALF AS MIKU NOW DESPERATELY GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE-
Rich Russillo: DANNY POWERS OUT! THESE TWO HAVE BEEN GIVING IT THEIR ALL SINCE THIS MATCH FIRST STARTED AND NEITHER IS WILLING TO GIVE AN INCH! MIKU SAKAI LOOKS FRUSTRATED AS SHE BANGS HER HANDS TO THE CANVAS AND CURSES AT DANNY TANNER! SHE THOUGHT THE “STARFALL” HAD IT WON AND DONE FOR HER!
Persephone: Someone else would’ve had Danny Tanner out of there in like 30 seconds, Miku is in there fighting for dear life and trying to survive like the gazelle she is. I actually completely agree with her asking why this match was even booked?!
James Peters: Well, clearly it’s competitive as Miku gets to her feet with the help of the ropes and Danny is still on his knees-
Rich Russillo: BOOM! A KICK THAT CRACKS THE CHEST CAVITY OF DANNY TANNER! A THUNDEROUS KICK TO THE CHEST FROM MIKU, BUT DANNY TANNER SITS BACK UP AND FEELS THE ENERGY OF THIS CROWD! HE TELLS MIKU TO KICK HIM AGAIN! DANNY TAKES ANOTHER KICK, THAT HURT, BUT HE’S STILL CALLING FOR A FIGHT! MIKU GOES FOR ONE MORE KICK- DANNY CATCHES IT AND NOW TRANSITIONING INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION!
James Peters: DANNY- NO! MIKU SLIPS OUT AND GOES FOR A KNEE STRIKE- DANNY CATCHES IT AND THIS TIME LIFTS HER AGAIN! DANNY DRIVES HER ONTO HIS KNEE WITH AN USHIGOROSHI!!!! DANNY SNAPS THE NECK OF MIKU OVER HIS KNEE! OH MY GOD, THIS IS THE MOMENT! THIS IS DANNY TANNER’S MOMENT! DANNY TANNER’S TIME HAS COME AND HE SEES VICTORY ON THE HORIZON, OH MY GOD! HE LIFTS HER BACK UP AND HOOKS HER ARMS, “KILLSWITCH BITCHHHHHH”!!!!!-
Persephone: NOPE! MIKU TURNS OUT OF IT AND DRIVES HER FINGERS INTO THE EYES OF DANNY! “FEEL THY WRATH” FROM MIKU AS SHE FINALLY DOES SOME ACTUALLY USEFUL SHIT!
Rich Russillo: MIKU NOW WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION AND DANNY DOUBLES OVER! NOW SHE CHOPS THE LEG OF DANNY AND HE FALLS TO A KNEE! ONE FINAL KNEE TO HIS SKULL AS DANNY IS ON BOTH KNEES AND STUNNED BAD! MIKU PICKS HIM BACK UP AND GOES UP, UP AND AWAY WITH A “DEATH NOTE”-
(Crowd roars.)
Rich Russillo: DANNY STOPS HER AND HOLDS HER IN MIDAIR, BRINGING HER BACK DOWN TO HER FEET AND NOW VAULTING HER BACKWARDS WITH A TIGER SUPLEX!! WHAT A MOVE FROM DANNY TANNER AND A MAGNIFICENT COUNTER AS HE GETS BACK UP SO QUICKLY AND DRAGS MIKU BACK TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! DANNY TURNS HER INTO THE “KILLSWITCH BITCH” ONE MORE TIME!
James Peters: -!!!! WAIT!!! MIKU GETS AN ARM FREE AND NOW ROLLS DANNY UP, MIKU WITH A ROLLUP AS DANNY FIGHTS VIOLENTLY TO KICKOUT- OH MY GOD!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: OH MY GOD, MIKU JUST WON THIS MATCH! SHE ENDS IT WITH A ROLLUP JUST AS DANNY WAS ON THE VERGE OF A WIN AND TAKES IT AWAY FROM HIM! WHAT A VALIANT RALLY FROM MIKU SAKAI AS DANNY TANNER CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT’S HAPPENED! HE’S PLEADING WITH THE REFEREE AS MIKU ALREADY STUMBLES UP THE RAMP, SMILING AT DANNY AND LAUGHING!
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, HERE IS YOUR WINNER, MIKUUUUUUU SAKAIIIIIIIIII!!!!
(The crowd showers her in boos as she walks up the ramp with a smug look of satisfaction on her face.)
James Peters: “Valiant”?? She cheated and then just barely put him away with a rollup, also after not even waiting for the bell to ring to start this match. She’s not valiant, she just stole this match like a thief. Danny Tanner was so close to such a major victory for him and for it to end like that, you know it hurts for him. You can see how visibly upset he is as he stands in the corner with his hands rubbing across his face and covering his eyes.
Rich Russillo: She didn’t steal anything, she won this match under the same rules everyone does. This was a hard fought win for Miku, but still a great effort from Danny and he just proved he can go head to head with one of the best elitists on this Voltage roster.
Persephone: Best?! There’s a reason she lost at Empress of Elite and barely just peeled away a victory here. They both stink and don’t deserve spots on this roster.
(Miku walks backstage and Danny is shown in the ring, solemn and inconsolable as he came so close to victory and it slipped away.)
Rich Russillo: I do agree though, gotta feel for Danny Tanner, who had such a great performance tonight. He had Miku badly hurt on a number of occasions and before the finish, he was closing in on a win of his own. He needs to keep his chin up and give himself credit for the great work he did here tonight. He should be proud of the standard he upheld for this yellow brand, which I think he absolutely deserves to be a part of.
(The camera goes to Danny Tanner being helped up by the Referee, a pained expression on his face while he shakes off the wear and tear that he went through in that match. He looks to be making his way out of the ring, but before he can do so, to his surprise ‘Last Strike’ by Polo G is heard blasting through the speakers of the arena to loud boos coming from the crowd. The camera goes from the ring to the stage to show New Breed Champion Jon Kelton make his way out to the stage. He has a big grin on his face that can be seen a mile away while he takes his Championship and raises it high into the air. Danny is shown inside the ring with an unhappy look given the circumstance, while Kelton begins to make his way down the ramp.)
Rich Russillo: Well whatever the New Breed Champion is out here for it’s clear that he’s done a proficient job pushing the buttons of Danny here. If you don’t know, a few nights ago Jon Kelton and Candice Blair got into it on Dynasty, leading Kelton to brutally attack her and choke her out with a chain before security could split the two up. We have no idea what Candice’s condition is heading into their New Breed Championship match at Shock Value, but by the looks of things, it’s not looking good :lupe:.
James Peters: Regardless, you know that Danny is very pissed off at the actions of Kelton, just look at the expression on his face right now. So there’s no telling how he feels especially with Kelton coming out here to possibly just soak it all in and rub it in the face of Candice’s best friend. I have a feeling that this is going to end in a brawl, and who knows if Kelton might luck out the same way that he did on Dynasty.
Persephone: I don’t care, as long as he chokes Danny with a chain too. I don’t know why, I just like seeing people getting choked with chains…
(Kelton makes his way up the steel steps, stepping onto the apron and entering into the ring. It’s clear that he’s taking his time, making Danny wait while he makes his grand arrival on the Voltage brand. He twirls a microphone in his hand for a moment before sighing, ‘Last Strike’ beginning to come to a close from there while Kelton looks up at Danny, who is still just as unhappy as he was when he came out here, before beginning to speak.)
Jon Kelton: What’s with the long face? Has something happened that I haven’t heard about? Hmm… oh wait, I’m stupid, how could I not remember? Poor Candice Blair was running her mouth over on Dynasty and got exactly what she deserved because of it. Maybe that’s why. Maybe that’s the reason you’re punching yourself over, and over again, possibly blaming yourself for not being there for her. Her knight in shining armor? The one that just handed the opportunity to face me over to her, instead of taking it for yourself. Look, I’m going to set it straight with you because I think you feel, in your heart of hearts, that I’ve done something wrong. What Candice got on Dynasty at my hand, was something that she was practically begging for. You can’t just come to my brand, call me out, try to call my bluff, and verbally slap me in the face and think you can get away with it right? No, something had to be done. I had to show her and everyone else that who I say I am, is the truth. Anyone that questions that can see it for themselves firsthand, that’s exactly the statement that I made.
Jon Kelton: Besides, as far as I’m concerned? Candice is nowhere near filling the quota for being a worthy contender for the New Breed Championship. There is absolutely no way I’m going to be wasting my time defending my Championship against someone who is only using wrestling as a launching pad for other things. So, if you really can’t see me doing any right with my actions, consider me doing her a favor. Saving her the time, and helping her realize that she was just fighting for a goal that she couldn’t win. I hope to God that by the time she recovers I’ll be far gone, because that is when she’ll understand that she needs to invest her time into other things, not going after my Championship. Have we reached an agreement on the matter?
(The crowd is dead silent in suspense, while Danny clenches and unclenches his fist in a repeated motion. It’s clear that he’s trying to calm himself down right now, resisting the urge to punch Kelton right in the face for what he’s done. Instead of doing that, he steps back and holds out his hand, being handed a microphone from the Timekeeper’s area which he takes and once again begins to approach Kelton. Kelton, instead of the arrogant smirk he had on earlier, has a face branded with a nonchalant expression, with a practical statement that reads he is not going to be intimidated by Danny Tanner of all people. But Danny is also making it known that he’s not going to be intimidated by him either. Danny brings his microphone up to his mouth and after taking a deep breath, begins to speak.)
Danny Tanner: I’m telling you right now Kelton, you have a lot of nerve hurting Candice the way you did. She has been there all the way for me and if I had the chance, I would’ve ran out there myself and beat the stuffing out of you. I was hoping to hold my peace, praying that Candice would be alright just in time to kick your ass. But now you come out here and try to flaunt your beatdown in my face? I just won’t stand for it! Karma is a bitch Kelton, and you will for sure get yours sooner rather than later!
(Kelton, instead of taking any of what Danny says seriously, looks amused. More than anything else he’s impressed that Danny actually had the balls to stand up to him, but true love conquers all he supposes. Kelton isn’t going to let him get away so easily though.)
Jon Kelton: Really? Let me ask you something, how? Who’s going to be the one to stop me? Who’s going to give me my slap on the wrist for the “wrong” I’ve done? You?
Danny Tanner: Uhh… yes! If Candice isn’t able to compete, then I will take her spot and I will make sure that you regret putting your hands on her!
(The crowd pops in excitement, the prospect of Danny Tanner becoming New Breed Champion is obviously a beautiful sight to behold. But Kelton doesn’t share the same excitement as they do, instead he just can’t help but burst into laughter. If he didn’t believe Candice was a worthy challenger for him at Shock Value, then why the hell would he believe Danny could be able to do any better? Kelton collects himself, shaking his head before straightening himself back up. He readjusts the New Breed Championship around his waist before once again speaking.)
Jon Kelton: It’s funny, I was just thinking… you deserve the same treatment that Candice did when she ran her mouth-
Rich Russillo: OH! KELTON JUST TOOK HIS MICROPHONE AND ATTEMPTED TO SLAM IT AGAINST THE FACE OF DANNY TANNER! WHAT A DIRTY MOVE! HE WASN’T LYING WHEN HE SAID THAT HE WAS GOING TO GIVE HIM THE SAME TREATMENT!
James Peters: WAIT! DANNY SAW IT COMING! HE MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER IT AND RETURN THE FAVOR SLAMMING HIS MICROPHONE AGAINST THE SKULL OF KELTON FORCING HIM BACKWARD! THE NEW BREED CHAMPION SLIDES OFF THE SHOULDER OF KELTON AND IN HIS HANDS, AS HE RUNS FORWARD AND ATTEMPTS TO SWING IT AT HIM AS A LAST RESORT IN HOPES OF TAKING HIM DOWN!
Rich Russillo: BUT DANNY DUCKS UNDER THAT TOO, GRABBING A HOLD OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND RIPPING IT OUT OF HIS HANDS, BRINGING IT INTO HIS POSSESSION! KELTON TURNS AROUND, WHILE DANNY RUNS FORWARD AND SLAMS KELTON’S OWN NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP AGAINST THE HEAD OF KELTON! DANNY HAS JUST GOTTEN THE UPPERHAND AND THE CROWD GOES WILD NOW! I DON’T THINK HE’S DONE THOUGH! HE’S SETTING HIM UP!
James Peters: KILLSWITCH BITCH! DANNY TANNER JUST GAVE JON KELTON A BEATDOWN TO REMEMBER HERE TONIGHT, YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHAT HE MIGHT BE THINKING OF THE COMPETITION THAT HE SHRUGGED OFF RIGHT NOW WHILE HE’S UNCONSCIOUS ON THE CANVAS! DANNY STANDS TALL!
(Danny looks down at the New Breed Championship before scooping it back up into his possession. He takes a look at it for a moment before raising it high into the air while the crowd roars loudly in approval. Danny, from there, drops it back down onto Kelton, before taking his leave as it’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage fades to elsewhere.)
(Voltage fades to a commercial featuring Xander Payne, saying “We want YOU for the Payne Dynasty, Club, Republic, and many more.”)
(The camera cuts back to the center of the ring where Bella Braxton is standing ready to announce the next match.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is scheduled for…ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“POA” by Future starts to play as Jay Jerry Johnson enters the arena to loud boos from the crowd as he heads to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Making his way to the ring! He is from Chicago, Illinois. Weighing in at 198 pounds. He is “THE CHARISMATIC ARTIST” JAY…JERRY…JOHNSON!
James Peters: Triple J making his way to the ring for singles action here tonight on Voltage. He had an opportunity at the King of Elite to get a unique opportunity for Shock Value. Unfortunately, he left empty-handed.
Rich Russillo: But that defeat did get him to think about changing up his game plan a bit. He went into that match with a different mindset. From what I saw, heard, and read from various sources including social media, that it didn’t really work.
Persephone: Stop sugar coating it! It flopped! He tried to act like a smug asshole and he came off more as a prick. Now he back to his “Charismatic Artist” mentality, whatever the fuck that is. He can be whatever he wants, but he’s still a creeper.
James Peters: Think of him however you want, he has been impressive as of late in the ring. He just needs that one victory to get his momentum and he could get it tonight.
Persephone: Gawd I hope not.
(Triple J enters the ring still carrying an arrogant look on his face as the crowds let him hear how they feel about him. He takes his place in one of the corners as his theme fades off. After a moment of silence, “O Fortuna” by Carl Orff starts to play throughout the arena as Madison Kaline makes her entrance to cheers from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing his opponent! She is from Tampa Bay, Florida. She is the “MISTRESS OF DEATH” MADISON KALINE!
James Peters: Here comes the opposition. She has a look on her face of poise, confidence, and determination. She is hungry for a victory here tonight. Especially after what we saw on Dynasty.
Rich Russillo: That’s right. She wants the Universal Women’s Title bad and that isn’t good for Andrea Valentine. Madison is going to do anything in her power to use this match to make a statement to Andrea.
Persephone: Nobody cares about Vampira the old relic. Just another person around here to drive me insane. It’s not like she’s been impressive or anything. Go back to nursing home you walked out of, lady!
James Peters: What are you talking about? She returned to the ring two weeks ago. She might not have defeated Donovan Duke, but she showed that if there was any ring rust that it was not obvious because she did an amazing job. Tonight, she gets another try.
(Madison enters the ring as the crowd continues to cheer. She takes her place in the opposite corner as her theme fades away. The referee checks both competitors before walking back to the center of the ring and calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Here we go! The bell has rung and the match is underway. Will we see the Instincts that made Madison a Hall of Famer or will we see Jay outsmart Madison and pick up probably the biggest win of his career? They’ve locked up in the center of the ring and Jay takes the quick advantage with a side headlock.
Rich Russillo: Madison throws elbows into the side of Jay to get him to break the hold, but he quickly maneuvers into a hammerlock and now he’s working on the arm of Madison. Madison is trying to break free, but she can’t make it to the ropes. MADISON WITH A CARTWHEEL TO GET OUT OF THE HAMMERLOCK AND SHE FIRES A FOREARM INTO THE FACE OF JAY!
Persephone: She needs to be careful. Her titanium hips might not be able to handle all those moves. Do we have the doctor on standby? We might need them if she’s gonna keep pulling shit like that. Now she is still throwing forearms to his face and sending him into the corner.
James Peters: Madison throws a few kicks into Jay’s midsection and the referee tells her to get him out of the corner. She chooses to ignore the ref at this time and climbs to the second rope. Now Madison is laying her fists into the face of Jay and the crowd joins in.
Crowd: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NIN-
Rich Russillo: Jay scoops her up and walks her out of the corner. JAY LOOKING FOR A POWERBOMB BUT MADISON COUNTERS INTO A HEADSCISS—! HOLD ON! JAY SHOWING SOME STRENGTH AS HE HOLDS ON AND BRINGS MADISON BACK UP! JAY THROWS MADISON OVER HIS HEAD AND SENDS HER THROAT FIRST INTO THE TOP ROPE!
Persephone: That’s a shocker right there. Most accurate thing that moron has done in the last month. Sure as hell wasn’t the flirting with skanks or picking fights with loser virgins. But dropping that grandma on her throat was kind of amusing. He’s still a creeper though.
James Peters: Madison staggers back and Jay catches her with a chop to the chest. That’s not going to feel good. Madison against the ropes and Jay delivers another chop to the chest. Madison is feeling those two shots as Jay uses the front facelock. Jay lifts her up and bounces her off the top rope before taking her down with the slingshot suplex.
Rich Russillo: Madison landed hard on her back and Jay quickly floats over and hooks the leg for the first cover of the match up.
ONNNNNNNEEEE!!
TWWWWOOOOO—
Persephone: That’s a surprise! Grandma still has some fight in her as she kicks out before two. Creepy Jay brings her back to her feet and chops her in the chest again. She’s going to deflate if she keeps getting hit like that. But she gets whipped into the ropes.
James Peters: Madison rebounds as Jay goes for the back elbow, BUT MADISON DUCKS IT! Madison rebounds off the other side and delivers a dropkick into Jay’s knee. Jay down to one knee as Madison hits the ropes once more. Madison at full speed until she suddenly stops. What is she doing?
Rich Russillo: She stops running right in front of Jay and slaps him hard right across the face. Look at Jay’s eyes; they are wider than plates. He did not like that one bit, but Madison doesn’t care because she has such a devious smirk on her face.
Persephone: BAHAHAHA! That was funny! The old bitch manages to bitch slap the creepy guy and make him a bitch. So many bitches in the ring right now. That was funny, but it doesn’t make the match any more entertaining. Hurry up, grandma, and finish the match so the show can end and you can make it back for tapioca night.
James Peters: Madison yanks Jay down to the mat by the hair and mounts him before she starts throwing lefts and rights into the face of Jay. Jay is blocking as best as he can, but Madison Kaline is showing the tenacity that led her to championship gold in the past.
Rich Russillo: Madison drags Jay quickly back to his feet and musters enough strength to plant him with a suplex. Madison is back up to her feet and she is kicking Jay in the midsection and in the head before she runs to the ropes. MADISON LOOKING FOR A LIONSAULT, BUT JAY WAS PLAYING POSSUM! HE IS QUICKLY BACK TO HIS FEET! MADISON WAS JUMPING ON THE ROPES, BUT JAY SHOVES MADISON OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT TO THE FLOOR!
Persephone: Go ahead and bring the medic out to ringside. That was an ugly landing, but I’m not sure what’s uglier. Madison or the landing. Coin flip right there. Now Jay the Creepy Man is on the apron. What the hell does he think he’s going to do?
James Peters: He has something risky in mind because he’s standing on the second rope. JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS WALKING ON THE SECOND ROPE TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROPES. HE LOOKS AT MADISON WHO HAS SLOWLY MADE IT BACK TO HER FEET BEFORE TURNS AROUND AND JUMPS! HOLY SHIT! ASAI MOONSAULT TO THE OUTSIDE AND BOTH ARE DOWN ON THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF US!
Rich Russillo: Beautiful moonsault by Jay and he got a lot of it as the back of Madison’s head bounced hard off the floor. Jay is the first to get back to his feet as he brings Madison back up and whips her into the steel steps.
Persephone: That could easily break her back right there. She hasn’t done stuff like that in about fifty years. We could have a match ender right here and I honestly wouldn’t mind that at all. Now I want to know why the hell do these idiots choose our side of the ring when they dive or throw people out? Me and this announce table go through enough trauma on the FPVs without having to worry about ducking for cover on a normal show. I need extra money for hazard pay.
James Peters: You don’t need hazard pay. You knew what you were getting into when you signed on to commentate on the most hardcore brand in EAW. Madison is resting against the steps and Jay runs at full speed. JAY GOING FOR A KNEE TO MADISON’S SKULL! MADISON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND JAY CATCHES NOTHING BUT THE STEEL STEPS!
Rich Russillo: Jay holding his knee in pain as MADISON HITS A DROPKICK AND SENDS JAY HEAD FIRST INTO THE RING STEPS! JAY CRASHES HARD AGAINST THE STEPS!
Persephone: Did anybody else hear that loud ding whenever his head hit the steps or was it just me? Just proves that his head is hollow and there’s nothing up there to hurt. Of course I couldn’t rely on him to end the match quickly. Now Madam Madison grabs him by the back of the trunks and throws him back in the ring. Now what the hell is this crazy old bitty doing?
James Peters: Madison is not a crazy old bitty! Just because she isn’t Veena doesn’t mean you can’t be nice to her for what she has contributed to EAW. But to answer your question, Madison is climbing to the top rope. Jay still hasn’t moved since being thrown in the ring. SHE COULD BE GOING FOR THE MADDIE BOMB, BUT INSTEAD SHE JUMPS AND HITS A BEAUTIFUL SWANTON BOMB FROM THE TOP ROPE! GREAT MOVE FROM THE MISTRESS OF DEATH!
Rich Russillo: MADISON GOT ALL OF THAT SWANTON BOMB AND SHE QUICKLY SCRAMBLES INTO THE COVER. MADISON HOOKS THE LEG! THIS COULD BE ENOUGH!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRREEEEEEE—
Persephone: We all knew that move from the old lady wasn’t going to be enough to win. He kicks out at two. She drags him away from the ropes and towards the center of the ring. It could be over because she could throw her back out. Anyways, she runs to the ropes again and jumps. IS THIS MORON TRYING THE LIONSAULT AGAIN!
James Peters: SHE IS! SHE DID! AND JAY GETS THE KNEES UP AND SHE CAUGHT ALL OF IT! THE LIONSAULT ONCE AGAIN DOES NOT PAY OFF FOR MADISON!
Rich Russillo: BOTH COMPETITORS ARE BARELY MOVING, BUT IT IS THE CHARISMATIC ARTIST WHO GETS TO HIS FEET FIRST! Jay is behind Madison and now it is turn to run. JAY GOES FULL SPEED AND CLOBBERS MADISON IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THAT METEORA!
Persephone: He needs to respect his elders. At her age, she doesn’t have very many brain cells left, but good on her for trying her hardest to not look like a total idiot out here…and she is still moving! The literal hell!?!? She needs to give it up!
James Peters: Madison slowly crawling to the ropes to hopefully get back to her feet but Jay is right on her heels. Madison scrambling as Jay reaches for her, BUT SHE PULLS HIM BY THE FRONT OF THE TRUNKS AND SEND HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE ROPE! OLD HABITS DIE HARD!
Rich Russillo: Madison gets a moment of reprieve, but she can’t take too much time to regroup and she looks ready to strike. MADISON CROUCHES AND SHE LOOKING FOR A SPEAR! JAY UP AND HE TURNS AROUND! MADISON GOES FOR THE SPEAR BUT JAY SIDESTEPS IT!
Persephone: I guess her catlike reflexes aren’t as good as they used to be. Seems like they are in their 7th life. If it was Veena, she would have hit it. If it was my sexy Rexy, not only would he have hit it, this match would be over.
James Peters: BUT LOOK AT MADISON! SHE TURNED AT THE LAST SECOND AND REBOUNDED OFF THE ROPES AND RUNS BACK AGAIN! JAY TURNS AROUND BUT DOESN’T HAVE ANY OPPORTUNITY TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MADISON FINALLY CATCHES JAY WITH THE SPEAR! JAY DOWN AND MADISON ONCE AGAIN SHOWING HER VETERAN INSTINCT!
Rich Russillo: It looks like Jay got the wind knocked out of him. Madison looking to cause more damage and she climbs to the second rope this time. She motions for Jay to get back up. He does and she jumps. CROSSBODY ON THE WAY! JAY SAW IT COMING AND DELIVERED A SOCCER PUNT KICK RIGHT INTO THE BREADBASKET OF MADISON!
Persephone: Now Jay the creepy man thinks that it should be his turn to climb to the top rope. When will these idiots learn that flying so damn much does not get you frequent flying miles or anything good. Just stick to the ground attack and finish the match as fast as you can. Now he’s on the top rope and trying to keep his balance, but old lady Madison somehow manages to make it back to her feet and hit the ropes, causing Jay to land on his manparts. Should have listened to me. Hey! I need to get some shirts made to give to losers every time they screw up. It’ll say “I Should Have Listened to Persephone”. It’ll be the hottest seller in no time at all.
James Peters: Oh yeah. Sure it will. Now Jay won’t sprain any ankles the way he landed, but he might be feeling it in the morning. Now Madison pulls the feet of Jay inside the ring as she slaps Jay again in the face before she climbs up to the top turnbuckle.
Rich Russillo: This can’t be good. Madison standing and Jay sitting on the top rope. MADISON JUMPS AND WRAPS HER LEGS AROUND JAY! MADISON GOING FOR A HURRICANRANA OFF THE TOP ROPE, BUT JAY HOLDS ONTO THE TOP ROPE! AND MADISON LANDS ON HER FEET AND SAVING HERSELF FROM A HORRIBLE CRASH AND BURN SITUATION!
Persephone: Here we go with all the fancy schmancy bullshit again. This is why weapons should be allowed in all matches that involve me commentating or anything Voltage. Would make matches much shorter and would make a bigger statement than any of that fancy flipping bullshit.
James Peters: Madison attempts a forearm, Jay gives her a boot right in the face. Madison staggers and Jay is standing on top turnbuckle again. Jay quickly jumps and grabs Madison’s neck in the process…
Rich Russillo: PRETTY VISITOR FROM THE TOP ROPE! JAY GOT ALL OF THE PRETTY VISITOR CUTTER AND MADISON WAS PLANTED HARD AS HER FACE BOUNCES OFF THE CANVAS! JAY SCRAMBLES FOR THE COVER! WILL THIS BE ENOUGH FOR JAY? UPSET TIME ON THE WAY!
ONNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWOOOOO!!
THHHRRRRRREEEEEE!
Persephone: HOW THE FUCK DID SHE DO THAT? WHY DID SHE DO THAT? This match was almost over, but she kicked out right at the last second. Ohh this is bullshit.
James Peters: Madison said she was going to do anything she had to do to make sure she redeems herself and she is doing exactly what she said she was going to do. She didn’t reach Hall of Fame status by giving up when things got tough.
Rich Russillo: I don’t think Jay was expecting her to kick out either. He really can’t believe it. He picks up Madison and he clobbers her in the side of the head with that elbow and he doubles her over before butterflying her arms. JAY IS CALLING FOR THE DON’T CARE, DON’T ASK! TIGER DRIVER ‘98 ON THE WAY! MADISON IS UP!
Persephone: I should be surprised but I am not. This bitch is fighting it in any way she can because gawd knows ending this match would be a total disaster. Why do they keep doing this? Don’t they want this match to end just as bad as I do. Seriously!
James Peters: Madison shifting her weight enough to make sure that Jay can’t execute the piledriver even with the 80 pound weight advantage, if weight is moving too much for Jay, he can’t properly execute the move. He’s unhooks the arms and just starts clobbering the back of Madison.
Rich Russillo: Jay has Madison positioned again. HE PULLS HER UP IN THE AIR AND PLANTS HER DOWN WITH A THUNDEROUS POWERBOMB! JAY QUICKLY STACKS HER UP TO GO FOR THE COVER BUT MADISON MOVES ENOUGH TO FLIP BACK AND PREVENT THE PIN!
Persephone: She needs her head examined. Old lady landed too hard on the back of her head after the powerbomb and she’s loony. But she’s on Voltage and everyone who wrestles here is a complete nutcase so I guess she finally fits in around here. Now they can both leave.
James Peters: Madison trying to shake off the effects of the powerbomb but Jay is right back on the attack like a hungry shark. Jay grabs her by the hair and get her ready for another powerbomb. JAY HAS HER UP AGAIN BUT MADISON COUNTERS! MADISON FLIPS BACK AND NOW SHE IS STANDING ON THE TOP ROPE!
Rich Russillo:MADISON GETS HER BALANCE AND GRABS JAY BY THE HEAD BEFORE HE JUMPS OFF THE ROPES AND DRIVES JAY DOWN WITH THE TORNADO DDT! JAY GOT SPIKED RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD!
James Peters: MADISON KALINE ONCE AGAIN THINKING TOP ROPE AND IT ISN’T JUST TO PISS PERSEPHONE OFF! SHE WANTS TO END THIS MATCH FOR GOOD! JAY HASN’T MOVED AND MADISON SOARS AGAIN AND SHE HITS THE MADDIE BOMB! BULLSEYE WITH MOONSAULT! MADISON GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWWOOOO!!
THHHHHRRRREEEE!!
Rich Russillo: JAY GRABS THE ROPES! JAY GRABBED THE BOTTOM ROPE AT THE LAST SECOND AND THAT STOPPED THE COUNT! MADISON POUNDS THE MAT IN A SMALL BIT OF FRUSTRATION THAT SHE MADE THE MISTAKE OF NOT PULLING JAY FURTHER AWAY FROM THE ROPES! THAT COULD HAVE COST HER THE MATCH RIGHT THERE!
Persephone: Actually, I think they keep going to the top rope to piss me off on purpose because it drags the match out longer. These assholes know that and they do it to try and add gray hairs to my head. Madison has creepy Jay right where she wants him. SO FINISH THE MATCH NOW YOU BITCH! GET THE WIN SO THE SHOW CAN END FASTER!
James Peters: Madison tries to bring Jay back to his feet, but Jay drops and catches Madison with a jawbreaker. Madison stunned as she staggers back. Jay grabs Madison by the head AND PLANTS HER WITH THE BULLDOG! IT WASN’T ENOUGH TO KEEP HER DOWN FOR LONG AS MADISON ALMOST SPRINGS RIGHT BACK UP!
Rich Russillo: JAY GOES FOR THE NECK AGAIN AND PLANTS HER WITH A SWINGING NECKBREAKER! NOW JAY IS DOING ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE NEXT TIME HE GOES FOR A BIG MOVE, THAT IT KEEPS HER DOWN FOR GOOD.
Persephone: The biggest move that he can do is move away. I don’t give a shit where he goes, he just needs to leave and take this fossil with him.
James Peters: MADISON BACK UP TO HER FEET AND THIS TIME SHE IS MET WITH A JAW ROCKING SUPERKICK! BUT HE GRABS ONTO MADISON AND DOESN’T LET HER FALL BACK TO THE CANVAS! JAY STAYS BEHIND HER AND HOOKS HER ARMS….
Rich Russillo: JAY TRIED FOR THE DRAGON SUPLEX BUT SOMEHOW MADISON FLIPS AT THE PERFECT MOMENT TO LAND ON HER FEET BEHIND HIM! JAY GOES FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK BUT MADISON DUCKS IT AND HITS THE ROPES! MADISON REBOUNDS AND DUCKS THE TRIPLE J CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT! MADISON HITS THE ROPES AND REBOUNDS ONE MORE TIME AND….
James Peters: AFTERLIFE! AFTERLIFE OUT OF NOWHERE! SHE WENT FOR IT ALL AND IT PAID OFF! MADISON PUT ALL HER WEIGHT INTO THAT CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL AND SHE CAUGHT HIM RIGHT ON THE CHIN AND THROAT! THE BACK OF JAY’S HEAD SNAPS AGAINST THE CANVAS AND JAY ISN’T MOVING RIGHT NOW! HE MIGHT BE EXPERIENCING THE AFTERLIFE RIGHT NOW! MADISON THINKS SHE’S GOT THIS AS SHE GOES FOR THE COVER AND THIS MIGHT BE IT!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“O Fortuna” starts to play again as the crowd cheers and Madison rolls off of Jay and she rises to her feet.)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner! MADISON KALINE!
James Peters: What a match! They both brought everything they had and it was the Mistress of Death who walks out victorious.
Rich Russillo: Jay also showed why he’s a rising star. He put up a hell of a fight, but it just wasn’t enough. Anyways, congrats to Mad….
(The referee was raising Madison’s arm in victory as Rich got cut off by “Roll With Me” by Charli XCX playing throughout the arena. The arena is filled with even more cheers as the Universal Women’s Champion Andrea Valentine makes her way to the entrance ramp.)
Rich Russillo: Be still my heart. Cupid has answered my prayers with Valentine’s Day coming early. Saint Valentine herself is here. Andrea Valentine is on Voltage again.
Persephone: What in the literal hell was that? That is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard come out of your mouth. That’s why you’re single and that’s why that blonde skank doesn’t acknowledge your existence. Please just shut the hell up for the rest of the show.
(We see that Andrea has a microphone and Madison is looking up the ramp wondering what the hell Andrea is doing out here.)
Andrea Valentine: Hey, Madison. How are you? It was so great seeing you on Dynasty and taking that fun little trip down memory lane. It was cute. A very cute trip. But here’s what really needs to be known.
Andrea Valentine: You see, if it wasn’t for the Queen’s Court helping Madison Kaline out all time, she would have had one of the SHORTEST EAW Title reigns in history.
Madison Kaline: (off-mic) That’s bullshit and you know it!
Andrea Valentine: Bullshit? No, that’s the truth. If it wasn’t for the Court, you would have joined the likes of Kevin Hunter.
(The crowd ohhhs at the remark as Madison just rolls her eyes.)
Andrea Valentine: Right, Kevin Hunter. Remember him? If you don’t, here’s a history lesson. Kevin won the EAW Openweight Title back in the day, but it didn’t last very long. How long was his reign? If I remember correctly, it was about a week! So, Madison, do you think that you’re just going to waltz back in here and rehash the past all to prove a point. What’s the point? Are you trying to show that you aren’t some old hag? Are you trying to prove that you’re not some old, washed up geriatric piece of shit? Whatever it is, it’s fine with me. Go ahead and try to prove your point.
Andrea Valentine: After King of Elite and Friday on Dynasty, it’s pretty obvious as to what you want. You want a shot at the Universal Women’s Championship.
Madison Kaline: (off-mic) You’re damn right I do.
Andrea Valentine: You know what? Fine with me! You’ve got your title match. We’ll do it at Reckless Wiring.
(The crowd cheers for the match that has just been made for Reckless Wiring. Madison has a satisfied smirk on her face after getting what she wanted.)
Andrea Valentine: I’m actually looking forward to this match because I would love to see you fare when you don’t have a 3 on 1 advantage. I just hope you’re ready for it.
(“Roll with Me” starts playing again as Andrea and Madison just stare at each other intensely.)
James Peters: Holy crap! What a match at Reckless Wiring with the Universal Women’s Title on the line. Past revisited as Andrea Valentine defends against Madison Kaline.
Persephone: Good for Dynasty. They can have the match between two old battle axes. Have the ambulance on standby because one of these ancient relics could break a hip. :mjlol:
Rich Russillo: Will you stop? This is going to be a great match. The first test of Andrea’s title reign.
(The last shows Andrea holding her title up in the air and Madison motioning around her waist as they continue to have a staredown as they scene fades elsewhere.)
(Promotional ad for Marvel’s Moon Knight, coming this March.)
(‘Stop Breathing’ by Playboi Carti hits, and the crowd begins cheering loudly as one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, Jake Smith, begins walking out to the stage. Despite the positive reaction heard around the arena, Jake Smith has a frustrated look on his face. Jake is wearing the Unified Tag Team Championship around his waist and holding a microphone in his hand, and he begins to make his way down the ramp and towards the ring as the cheers continue.)
James Peters: I don’t think it takes a genius to tell you why Jake Smith isn’t too happy tonight. King of Elite was not a good night for Jake, and that’s honestly an understatement.
Rich Russillo: Yeah. Not only did Jake fail to win the National Elite Championship thanks to the cash in of Donovan Duke, but we all saw what happened later on in the night.
Persephone: Right. We got another pointless return that nobody asked for. Why can’t it be Rexy returning?? 😔
(Jake enters the ring, still very clearly pissed after the events of King of Elite. Before long Jake begins to speak as the crowd quiets down so they can listen to what he has to say.)
Jake Smith: I should be standing here as a double Champion right now. I should be holding my Unified Tag Team Championship in one hand and the National Elite Championship in the other. I was ready for Minerva. I was ready to go out there and put an end to her Championship reign. I was at my A-game at King of Elite, because I knew how big of a match it’d be. I knew what kind of competitor Minerva is, and I knew that I had to be at my best if I wanted a shot at taking that title from her. I knew that I’d have to push myself if I wanted to be the one to end her reign. A lot of people have tried. Ryan Wilson, Kirk Redwood, Shane Gates, Cleopatra, even my partner Chris. I knew what it’d take to be the one to finally knock Minerva off her throne as Champion, and I think it’s safe to say that up until King of Elite, Chris and I have been on a roll. We’ve been at the top of our game, we’ve been building momentum and doing a fantastic job, and then it all came crashing down in one night. See, I could’ve won that title. I could’ve left King of Elite as a double Champion, but what I didn’t expect was Donovan Duke cashing in that contract…
(The crowd immediately begins cheering because of the mention of the new National Elite Champion, Donovan Duke.)
Jake Smith: I’ve known Donovan for a while, and after I was pinned by him to lose my shot at the National Elite Championship, I couldn’t help but be pissed. Not just because he ruined my chances of winning the title, nor because he chose to pin me, but because somehow I couldn’t even see it coming. Somehow I never thought that Donovan would use his contract to screw me over, and you know what? That’s my fucking fault. I fucked up, and now HE’S the National Elite Champion instead of me. And I could go on and on about it. I could keep venting my frustrations after coming up short, but at this point, that’s not even my biggest issue with what happened at King of Elite. Donovan cashed in, he won the title, whatever. I thought things couldn’t get any worse that night, and then they did. Apparently it wasn’t enough that I failed, and Donovan’s cash in prevented me from becoming a double Champion. Apparently it wasn’t enough that I didn’t win the National Elite Championship, because of all the people.. JACOB SENN attacked me.
(This causes a more mixed reaction from the crowd, who are still shocked by Jacob Senn’s sudden return to EAW where he attacked Jake at King of Elite.)
Jake Smith: Jacob Senn.. Jacob Senn of all people, I thought I killed him back at Grand Rampage a few years ago! That was supposed to be the last time we ever saw him in this place! That was supposed to be the end of his career, and now he’s back?? I don’t know what’s running through his head, but he’s out of his mind if he thinks that he can get away with that attack. Jacob’s not about to make his “grand return” to EAW at my expense, so if he wants to come out here then I’d be MORE than happy to finally settle things once and for all.
(Jake Smith waits for a few seconds, and finally ‘Head Like a Hole’ by Nine Inch Nails begins to play, causing the crowd to burst into an even louder mixed reaction. Jake stares at the stage, watching as Jacob Senn makes his way out to the stage. Jacob has a microphone in his hand, and he looks around at the arena, and all of the fans before turning his attention to Jake Smith.)
James Peters: It’s been a week and I still can’t believe my eyes. Jacob Senn is actually back in EAW!
Persephone: WE DON’T CARE! Sennto can go fuck off, and take Jake with him for all I care.
Rich Russillo: You should give Jacob a chance! He’s back, and I’m very interested in seeing how this goes.
(Jacob stops at the bottom of the ramp and he has a bit of a smirk on his face, before beginning to speak.)
Jacob Senn: Come on Jake, you didn’t think I’d let you get away with your actions, did you? You’re smarter than that, right? See it’s been a while, I know. A lot has happened, a lot has changed, but as soon as I was given the opportunity to return to this company I already knew what I wanted to do. I knew why I wanted to come back to this place, and that was to right some wrongs, starting with the humiliation I suffered at Grand Rampage thanks to you. It’s been a long time, and you’ve been allowed to get away with a lot. Hell, you’re a Unified Tag Team Champion right now. You were on top of the world just a little while ago, and now I’m going to show you how it felt to be in my shoes. To have everything come crashing down when you least expect it.
Jake Smith: :skip: It was two years ago. Are you being serious right now? Do you think I, or ANYONE else around here seriously still cares about what happened at Grand Rampage years ago?
Jacob Senn: It was my last match in the company. For you, maybe it didn’t matter. For you it was just one match. For the people watching, it was just a “surprising moment” watching you unmask me, but nothing compares to what I felt when you unmasked me, stomped my face in, and ended my time in this company. That humiliating night was my final time appearing in this company for two years. My final appearance ended with me being embarrassed in front of the entire world, and that’s not just something that I’d forget. That’s not something that I’d brush off that easily, so when I got the opportunity I did the right thing. I gave you what you deserved, or at least a small fraction of it.
Jake Smith: I seriously don’t give a shit about what happened at Grand Rampage a few years ago. You have some serious issues if you’re still holding a grudge against me for that and that’s really not something I can help you with. As far as I’m concerned, you showed up and rubbed salt in the wound when I already lost. I don’t know what your deal is, but I’ll tell you what. You want a real shot at getting revenge? Then we’re on the same page.
Jacob Senn: Good. I’m glad we’re on the same page Jake, because I didn’t just come back because I wanted to attack you. That was just the beginning. I’m going to remind everyone in this company who Jacob Senn is, and since you’re the reason they all forgot, I’m going to do it at your expense. You said you wanted to settle things once and for all right here and right now, but I have a better idea. I’m going to redeem myself and set my path straight here once again, but I’m not interested in having our match right here and now. If I’m gonna face you, I want it to happen at a place where anything goes, and I have the opportunity to do far worse than you ever could’ve done back at Grand Rampage. If we’re going to face each other, then I want it to happen at Shock Value.
(The crowd explodes into cheers, excited about the possibility of Jake Smith facing the returning Jacob Senn at Shock Value. Jake’s expression doesn’t change, obviously still not amused with Jacob’s return to the company.)
Jake Smith: Fine. I don’t care. Set the time, set the place, it doesn’t matter to me. I’m the one that kicked you out of this company in the first place, so I don’t care if you want to do it with your stupid Santo mask and attack me from behind or if you want to actually stop being a bitch, because either way things are going to end exactly like they did back at Grand Rampage. I’m going to embarrass you, I’m going to send you packing, and maybe then you’ll be smart enough to not come back.
(The crowd continues to cheer, but Jacob Senn doesn’t look impressed at all, instead keeping the smirk he had on his face.)
Jacob Senn: We’ll see about that, Jake. Just remember, I’ve been waiting for this moment. I was prepared for this. As soon as I had the opportunity to return to this company, I knew it’d lead to this moment. I’ll see you soon.
(With an evil grin on his face, Jacob Senn slowly begins making his way up the ramp as ‘Head Like a Hole’ begins to play once again.)
James Peters: It looks like Jacob Senn and Jake Smith want a match against each other at Shock Value! This could be huge if it happens, after all these two have history with each other and we just now saw just how much these two want a chance to finally bring this all to an end!
Rich Russillo: Things are heating up, and Shock Value is already shaping up to be a fantastic show!
Persephone: Meh. Would be better if Rexy was there.
(As Jacob Senn continues to make his way up the ramp, Jake remains in the ring, obviously still not happy with how things went with Jacob. As Jake remains inside of the ring, Voltage fades away from ringside.)
(Voltage fades to a promotional ad for the SuperBowl. #WatchVoltageInstead)
(“Self Help Tape” by Moses Sumney suddenly starts blaring throughout the sold out arena, and Captain Charisma makes his way to the ring)
James Peters: We’ve had an amazing show so far tonight, and with the arrival of Mr Captain Charisma, I’m sure it’s even going to pick up more! I’m sure you saw, but Captain Charisma is here to make some announcements regarding Shock Value!
Rich Russillo: I can’t wait to hear what they are! I have some ideas, and actually, I sent them to Captain Charisma, you know to try and help out. He never got back to me, and I’m pretty sure I saw my suggestions that I gave him in the trash earlier today… Buutttt I’m sure he’s going to be announcing everything that I suggested to him!
Persephone: He never saw them, I threw them out. I saw you being a fucking weirdo, and don’t want you to be happy, so before he saw them, I snuck into his office and threw them away.
Rich Russillo: Aw… 🙁
Persephone: Anyway, hopefully this announcement is him canceling the show! That would be an amazing announcement!
James Peters: Well it appears that Captain Charisma is ready, so let’s hear what he has to say!
(The camera fades over to Captain Charisma who has a microphone in his hand, is facing the camera, ready to speak.)
Captain Charisma: Hello everyone! How have you liked the show so far!?
(The crowd erupts in cheers)
Captain Charisma: Good, I’m glad to hear it, but don’t tire yourself out just yet, we still have more heart-racing action tonight! But, before we get to that, I have a few announcements regarding the upcoming free-per-view Shock Value. It is without a doubt one of the most exciting FPV’s that EAW has to offer, and it 100% blows anything any of the other brands will do out of the water. It is shaping up to be one of the biggest marquee event cards in Voltage history, and as the premier brand in EAW, ipso facto makes it one of the biggest marquee events in EAW history. I am very proud of my roster for stepping up, challenging one another, and getting people from other brands to take notice, and come over here. They see that Voltage is where the best action happens, and of course it goes without saying that I know Voltage is by far the most competitive brand in EAW. Who else could bring you the now confirmed matchup of Hikari Kanno vs. Mr. DEDEDE?! A young hungry promising talent, coming back from a brutal injury, to win a chance to do anything she wants, and decides to go after one of the best to ever do it! Testing herself to the limits just to prove that she is the best!
Persephone: Ugh, a dinosaur vs. a cripple? Why are we trying to act like we should be excited about this?
James Peters: Because it’s amazing!
Rich Russillo: YEAH THIS IS A DREAM MATCH! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!
Persephone: More like a nightmare, because it’s going to suck ass!
Rich Russillo: Hey don’t kink shame!
Persephone: Bro what?
(Captain Charisma waits for the reaction to die down before going into the next announcement)
Captain Charisma: I am curious to see how the first ever Electric Wallz match will play out as well! Also in his first title defense since becoming the National Elite Champion Donovan Duke defends his title against Lucas Johnson! Now, next week they will be finding out what type of match they’ll compete in, so tune in next week for that. I’m sure the results might be… Shocking.
Persephone: Is everyone here a 50 year old Dad? Fucking dumb ass jokes. I thought these were supposed to be exciting announcements? I don’t even know who half these people are.
James Peters: Yes you do, stop being you for just two seconds.
Persephone: Huh great message to send out to the kids out there, don’t be yourself! Choke on a turkey leg you fat fuck.
Captain Charisma: Then of course we will have Myles defending the EAW Championship against Ryan Wilson, and since both Men are dying to know what type of match they will be having, I am happy to reveal that the EAW Championship match will be contested in a High Voltage Match!
(The crowd erupts with applause, and rise to their feet in excitement, and Captain Charisma basks in it)
James Peters: Wow! I can’t wait to see that match! I’m sure it’ll be SHOCKING!
Persephone: Kill yourself.
Rich Russillo: Yes, I bet it’ll be electrifying!
Persephone: Commit double suicide tonight.
James Peters: Lighten up Persephone! That’s a FANTASTIC match!
Persephone: Hmm? What match? I wasn’t listening.
Captain Charisma: But wait there is even more! With everything that has gone down with Jake Smith and Jacob Senn over the past few weeks, I have decided to make it official! Jacob Senn will once again compete for EAW, as he takes on Jake Smith! And with Shane Gates and Kirk Redwood opening the doors up earlier tonight, and looking for a tag team to face, I was pleased to see two talented individuals in Solomon Stane, and Johnny Andrews pull up, and accept. So of course that match is now official. Shane Gates and Kirk Redwood vs. Solomon Stane and Johnny Andrews will be happening at Shock Value! Now with everything that has gone down between IDOL-GUN and MaryBecca, and Becca now looking to redeem herself as a competitor, I think that it’s fitting that Miku Sakai, and Becca Black square off once again! When you factor in the classic Specialists Championship match they had a few months ago, I believe that match could be the one to steal the show at Shock Value.
James Peters: Wow!
Persephone: Choke me to death, right now. I don’t want to be alive to witness the boredom of that match for the thousandth time. For fucks sake, nobody gives a fuck to see them yet again. Has Becca even won a match? Is she even in EAW anymore? For fucks sake. And who gives a fuck about Miku, she lost Empress of Elite! She’s a loser! No wonder she’s facing off against that loser again, SHE DOESN’T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO DO! What a fall from grace… Like seriously choke me to death, I’ll die from boredom during that match anyway.
(Captain Charisma, a little distracted by what’s happening at the commentators’ booth, shakes it off, and gets back to announcements)
Captain Charisma: As for the New Breed situation, that will be addressed sometime this week, but I am going to make a tri-brand contendership match in the meantime! It will be Alex Myers from Dynasty, Aria from Showdown, and our own Jay Jerry Johnson from Voltage! In a Shock Value favorite… THE ELECTRIC EEL DEATHMATCH! And this will be to determine who becomes the number one contender and earns themselves a future New Breed Championship shot.
Persephone: Great, Eels again, because that went soooo well last time. Weren’t we sued by PETA? When will this company ever learn. How about just a standard Old Western Shootout? They take a few steps, and then turn around and one gets shot and hopefully dies! Cuts out the long boring wrestling part.
James Peters: You seem to be quite the law expert. You would know we won that lawsuit. And a shootout would definitely get us sued
Persephone: FUCK OFF! THIS FPV IS GONNA SUCK, BECAUSE EVERYONE COMPETING SUCKS… WHERE THE FUCK IS MY SEXY REXY RETURN??? EVERYONE IS RETURNING EXCEPT MY REXY???
Rich Russillo: Someone is just being an old grumpy puss!
Persephone: A what?
Rich Russillo: Come on, how’s about a smile? COME ON! SMIIILLEEE!
(Rich once again goes over, and tries to force a smile on Persephone. She punches him directly in the jaw.)
Captain Charisma: Well, that’ll just about do it. Th-
(Suddenly, before Captain Charisma could finish, ‘Mona Lisa’ by Lil Wayne feat. Kendrick Lamar suddenly starts playing throughout the arena. The fans rise to their feet, as the raucous energy emanating throughout the building is almost too much to bear. Cleo waltzes out oozing confidence and grandeur, she practically floats down the ramp and into the ring with Captain Charisma)
Persephone: Who the fuck is that?
James Peters: ITS CLEOPATRA! We haven’t seen her since Wicked Games! She’s back though! And this crowd is going crazy!
(Cleo smiles toward the crowd, and then faces toward Captain Charisma)
Captain Charisma: Cleo, to what do I owe the pleasure?
Cleopatra: Simple. What is #EAW15 without the Queen of the Nile?
(The crowd erupts in cheers again)
Cleopatra: While all these Shock Value matches are cute, and while everything going on in EAW as a while right now is incredibly interesting, all of it lacks one thing, and that is ME! I want in on all this madness! Captain Charisma, you can bet that Cleopatra will be at Shock Value, competing, and I have the perfect opponent in mind.
(Captain Charisma tilts his head in interest)
Captain Charisma: And just who might that be?
Cleopatra: Don’t you worry your pretty little head Cap; in due time all things will come to light, but you can expect to find out next week just like everyone else will. Unless of course KENDRA SHAMEZ DECIDES SHE DOESN’T WANT TO PLAY….
(The crowd still on their feet go crazy yet again, jumping around, hooting, and hollering)
Captain Charisma: Di-Did you just say Kendra Shamez?
(Cleopatra just winks at Captain Charisma, and casually tosses her microphone down. Leaving everyone in the building with more questions than answers. ‘Mona Lisa’ by Lil Wayne feat. Kendrick Lamar picks up again as Cleopatra walks out)
James Peters: What did we just witness here! Cleopatra is back? She wants Kendrea Shamez? WHAT JUST HAPPENED!!
Persephone: I DON’T KNOW! BUT I WAS JUST ON MY PHONE! And interesting stuff is happening on Twitter… Oh it has nothing to do with this, I don’t know what’s happening here.
James Peters: I’m confused, just like everyone else is, but Cleopatra is back! Cleopatra is here.. And if she gets what she wants, I think Kendra Shamez might be here soon too!
(As Cleopatra continues to make her way up the ramp to the loud cheers, Voltage fades from ringside.)
(Voltage fades to the final commercial of the night, a promotional ad for Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, featuring cameos from everybody on the EAW roster. #EAW15.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside, and Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… Please welcome RYAN WILSON!!!!
(‘The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ by Mick Gordon hits and the crowd immediately begins to boo. Ryan Wilson begins walking down the ramp with a smirk on his face, and he completely ignores the crowd reaction, clearly amused by the upcoming match. Finally, Ryan makes his way out to ringside, standing next to the ring as he waits.)
(‘Invincible’ by Pop Smoke hits, and the crowd begins cheering as Chris Elite walks out, bandaged up from King of Elite, with his Unified Tag Team Championship around his waist. Chris looks ready and focused for this match as he makes his way down the ring, but as he sees Ryan Wilson he admittedly looks a bit annoyed, shaking his head before making his way into the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Making his way to the ring… From Brooklyn, New York… Weighing in at 210 pounds… HE IS ONE HALF OF THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, CCCHHRRIIISSSSS EEEEELLIIIIIIIIITTEEE!!!!!!
James Peters: Chris Elite may have come up short at King of Elite, but don’t let that distract you from what he’s capable of! He may have future challengers to worry about in the tag division, but tonight he has the opportunity to get a major singles victory!
Rich Russillo: That’s right. It won’t be easy, but if he could defeat Myles tonight, it’d do wonders for his momentum, and get him right back on track following King of Elite!
(‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi begins to play, and the positive reception continues as Myles walks out, also heavily bandaged up, with his EAW Championship. Much like Chris Elite, Myles is completely focused on this match, and while his Shock Value challenger Ryan Wilson’s appearance would usually be enough to distract someone, Myles does his best to remain focused as he makes his way to the ring, refusing to let Ryan get to him.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… From Melbourne, Australia… Weighing in at 215 pounds… HE IS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, MYYYYYYYYLLLLESSSS!!!!
James Peters: And here’s the EAW World Champion, who won at King of Elite in a brutal, and personal match! After all he went through, I’m surprised to see him even compete tonight, but that’s just the kind of competitor Myles is I guess.
Rich Russillo: Both Chris and Myles are very resilient competitors, but soon enough we’ll see who wants this win more, all while Ryan Wilson watches at ringside!
Persephone: Please let this end as soon as possible.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: AND HERE WE GO! This main event match is underway, and now both Myles and Chris Elite begin to circle the ring as Ryan Wilson watches at ringside! Myles and Chris have different wrestling styles with Myles’ striking moves and Chris’ more aerial offense, but this has the potential to be a fantastic main event match as these two Champions go up against one another! Myles and Chris continue to circle the ring, waiting to see who’ll strike first as they both know just how important it could be getting the first blood! Neither man wants to make the wrong move-
Rich Russillo: AND SO MYLES RUSHES IN TO STRIKE FIRST, AND CHRIS ELITE LOOKS TO PUNISH HIM FOR THAT AS HE GOES FOR THE BOX OFFICE SMASH- BUT MYLES MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THE SUPERKICK BEFORE BOUNCING OFF THE ROPES! MYLES NOW WITH A JUMPING KNEE- NO! CHRIS ELITE AVOIDS THE KNEE, AND HE GRABS MYLES FROM BEHIND! Chris Elite now looking for a German suplex, BUT MYLES FLIPS OUT OF IT AND LANDS ON HIS FEET! Chris Elite rushes back to his feet, and now it looks like these two are back to square one!
Persephone: Back to square one??? Oh hell no. We need to wrap this up, not go back to the start!
James Peters: Myles now rushes in for a lariat, but Chris Elite ducks under it before kicking Myles in the midsection! Chris now grabbing Myles in a side headlock before running to the corner, AND MYLES PUSHES CHRIS OFF OF HIM- BUT CHRIS RUNS UP THE TURNBUCKLES BEFORE DIVING ONTO MYLES WITH A- NO! MYLES CATCHES CHRIS WHEN CHRIS WAS LOOKING FOR A MOONSAULT, AND NOW MYLES DROPS CHRIS FACE FIRST ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WITH A SNAKE EYES!
Rich Russillo: Chris stumbles out of the corner right into a snapmare by Myles, AND NOW MYLES RUNS THE ROPES- BUT CHRIS KIPS UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE JUMPING UP AND DELIVERING A DROPKICK! Chris Elite back to his feet, AND HE RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE JUMPING UP, LANDING ON MYLES WITH A RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS! CHRIS ELITE NOW WITH THE FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH, WILL THIS BE ENOUGH TO GET THE JOB DONE!?
ONE!
TW-
Rich Russillo: NO! MYLES GETS THE KICK OUT!
Persephone: What a shame. So close to being able to go home, now I have to stay here and watch this.
James Peters: Chris Elite now quickly pulling Myles up, AND HE DELIVERS A SNAP SUPLEX, BUT HE DOESN’T FINISH THERE! Chris rolls to his knees and stands back up while still holding Myles, AND NOW HE DELIVERS A FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX, THIS TIME HOLDING MYLES FOR THE BRIDGING PIN!
ONE!
TWO-
James Peters: AND MYLES STILL KICKS OUT!! The pace of this match now starting to slow down as Chris Elite is in firm control, and now he locks in a rear chinlock to Myles, as Myles tries to pull himself back up to his feet!
Rich Russillo: Myles is slowly finding his way back up, and now Chris Elite transitions into a side headlock, trying to stay in control of this one! MYLES LIFTS CHRIS UP THOUGH, AND CHRIS HAS TO FLIP OUT OF HIS GRASP BACK ONTO HIS FEET TO AVOID THE BACK SUPLEX! MYLES HAD IT SCOUTED AND TURNS AROUND TO DELIVER A CLOTHESLINE, BUT CHRIS DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE RUSHING TO THE ROPES, GOING FOR A HANDSPRING ENZUIGIRI- WHICH DOESN’T CONNECT! MYLES MANAGED TO AVOID THE ENZUIGIRI, AND NOW HE DEADLIFTS CHRIS UP BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH A DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX!
James Peters: Chris Elite has no other choice but to roll out of the ring, and it looks like Ryan Wilson isn’t too impressed!
Ryan Wilson: (off-mic) :francis: Not looking too good out there, buddy.
Chris Elite: (off-mic) Shut the fuck up.
James Peters: Chris jumping back onto the apron, AND NOW MYLES CHARGES IN- BUT CHRIS DUCKS DOWN AND SENDS HIS SHOULDER INTO THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION’S MIDSECTION! Chris Elite now, JUMPING UP AND- OH NO! MYLES JUST PUSHED CHRIS’ LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM AS CHRIS TRIED TO SPRINGBOARD INTO THE RING, CAUSING CHRIS ELITE TO FALL RIGHT INTO THE TOP ROPE! Chris falls off of it and luckily manages to hang onto the ring apron, BUT NOW MYLES LANDS A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION!
Rich Russillo: Myles now making his way out to the apron, AND HE LIFTS CHRIS ELITE UP INTO A SUPLEX POSITION- BUT CHRIS IS ABLE TO ESCAPE MYLES’ GRASP AND LAND BACK ONTO HIS FEET! Chris stumbles back a bit, BUT HE RUSHES IN BEFORE LANDING A BICYCLE KICK, SENDING MYLES BACK FIRST INTO THE RING POST! Myles manages to hang onto the top rope to stay on the ring apron, BUT CHRIS ELITE CHARGES IN AND DELIVERS A RUNNING UPPERCUT, DROPPING MYLES OFF OF THE APRON!
Ryan Wilson: (off-mic) Come on, you can do better than that, Champ.
Myles: (off-mic) ..Do you ever stop talking?
Persephone: To answer Myles’ question, no.
James Peters: I don’t think that’s what Myles needs to be worried about, BECAUSE THERE GOES CHRIS ELITE WITH A SPRINGBOARD CORKSCREW MOONSAULT, TAKING HIM OUT!!! Chris Elite quickly gets back up as he sends Myles back into the ring, and now Chris gets up onto the apron as he waits for Myles to get back to his feet!
Rich Russillo: Myles gets back up, AND NOW CHRIS GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD- NO! MYLES RUSHES TO THE ROPES, BUT CHRIS IS ABLE TO ROLL BACK TO HIS FEET! BOTH MEN NOW CHARGING AT EACH OTHER- BUT MYLES STOPS IN HIS TRACKS AND SCOOPS CHRIS UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS, QUICKLY DROPPING HIM WITH A SAMOAN DROP!! Great thinking by Myles there, who now pulls himself back up to his feet as he thinks of his next move! Chris Elite is definitely a difficult Elitist to keep up with, but it looks like Myles is handling himself pretty well!
Persephone: Unfortunately. Can we hurry up and get on with this!?
James Peters: MYLES JUST DEADLIFTED CHRIS ELITE INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION, AND NOW HE SLAMS HIM ONTO THE MAT WITH A POWERBOMB!!! The strength of Myles is not to be overlooked, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE PLANS TO SHOWCASE IT ONCE MORE AS MYLES PULLS CHRIS UP OFF OF THE MAT, BEFORE- WAIT NO! Usually Myles would follow the first powerbomb up with a sitout powerbomb, but Chris Elite is punching away and trying to fight his way out of Myles’ grasp, even after being hit with the first powerbomb!
Rich Russillo: CHRIS ELITE MANAGES TO JUMP OUT OF MYLES’ GRASP, AND NOW CHRIS DELIVERS AN ENZUIGIRI, STAGGERING THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION! Myles stumbles as Chris quickly gets back up, and now Chris grabs Myles before sending him into the corner! Chris Elite now charging in, BUT MYLES MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE CORNER BEFORE HE COULD ATTACK! Now it’s Myles charging in, BUT CHRIS ELITE LIFTS HIM UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE- JUST FOR MYLES TO LAND ON THE APRON! Chris Elite now turning around, AND MYLES DELIVERS A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZUIGIRI, CAUSING CHRIS TO STUMBLE AND TAKE STEPS BACK!
James Peters: Myles now heading up to the top rope, AND MYLES JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE BEFORE DELIVERING A DIVING METEORA!! CHRIS ELITE IS DOWN, AND NOW IT’S MYLES GOING FOR THE PIN AS THIS MATCH MIGHT JUST BE COMING TO AN END!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
T-
James Peters: NO, CHRIS ELITE KICKS OUT!!!! CHRIS ELITE JUST KICKED OUT, AND HE KEEPS THE MATCH ALIVE! Myles doesn’t look too worried about Chris kicking out, and while he may be a changed man, it’s clear that he’s still a fighter at heart!
Persephone: Who cares, man? I don’t. I just want to see this match end.
Rich Russillo: Well it looks like Myles might be on the path towards accomplishing exactly that! Myles just locked in a crossface on Chris Elite, and it’s not every day you see Myles utilize submissions, but he’s in control of the match right now and his best bet is to keep things that way at all costs! Ryan Wilson is still watching this match outside of the ring, and admittedly I couldn’t tell you what he’s thinking! Ryan’s not the most predictable man out there, but I’m sure he’s glad to be able to see what his Shock Value opponent is capable of!
James Peters: Chris Elite is struggling in this crossface right now, and after already coming up short at King of Elite, the LAST thing Chris wants to do is have to tap out in the main event of Voltage tonight! Unfortunately he might not have much of a choice unless he can somehow escape this submission, because I don’t think reaching for the ropes is much of an option right now! They’re way too far for Chris to actually reach any of them, and I don’t think he’ll be able to pull his way over to them!
Persephone: Alright, cool. Now here’s an idea, a great idea. TAP OUT!!! HURRY UP AND TAP OUT SO THE SHOW CAN END!!!
Rich Russillo: :lupe: I definitely don’t think Chris wants to do that, but he might not have any other choice at this rate! This submission hold looks extremely painful, and that’s because Myles is putting as much force into it as possible, pulling Chris’ head back to make it more difficult for him to endure the pain! Chris Elite surely doesn’t have much fight left in him at this rate! This match might be coming to an end extremely soon-
James Peters: NO! CHRIS ELITE STARTS TURNING TO HIS SIDE, AND HE MANAGE TO GET HIMSELF- WAIT NO! MYLES HAD IT SCOUTED! CHRIS WAS LOOKING TO GET HIMSELF ON TOP OF MYLES FOR A COVER BUT MYLES TURNS AROUND AND GETS BACK INTO THE SUBMISSION- BUT THAT GAVE CHRIS THE BOOST HE NEEDED TO GET HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE!!! CHRIS ELITE GETS HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE, AND NOW THE REFEREE BEGINS TO COUNT!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE!… TWO!… THREE!… FOUR-
Rich Russillo: Myles finally lets go of the submission! Myles trying to do as much damage as possible, AND I THINK I CAN SEE EXACTLY WHY! MYLES WASTES NO TIME LIFTING CHRIS ELITE UP, AND HE LOOKS FOR DE FACTO- BUT CHRIS IS ABLE TO SLIP DOWN MYLES’ BACK WITH A SUNSET FLIP ROLL UP!
ONE!
TWO-
Rich Russillo: MYLES SURVIVES AS HE ROLLS BACK UP TO HIS FEET! MYLES NOW RUNNING IN, AND HE DELIVERS A PENALTY KICK TO CHRIS ELITE! I think I’m seeing what you were talking about earlier, James! Those strikes from Myles can be deadly, and Chris needs to be extremely careful if he wants to avoid any more of those!
James Peters: Myles now pulling Chris up, AND HE USES ALL HIS STRENGTH TO SEND CHRIS ELITE CRASHING BACK FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Myles put a lot of power behind that, AND NOW MYLES DEADLIFTS CHRIS UP BEFORE RUNNING TO THE CENTER OF THE RING, SPINNING OUT INTO A SIT OUT POWERBOMB! NOW IT’S MYLES WITH THE PIN ONCE AGAIN!
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-
James Peters: AND SOMEHOW CHRIS ELITE ONCE AGAIN MANAGES TO KICK OUT! SOMEHOW THIS MATCH IS STILL ON EVEN AFTER ALL OF THAT! HOW IMPRESSIVE BY CHRIS ELITE!!
Rich Russillo: And yet, Myles is still on the offensive! Myles has never been the type of competitor to let up, and it looks like that hasn’t changed right now! Myles just pulled Chris up to his feet, and it looks like he’s starting to trap Chris’ arms in the ropes! We all know what this usually sets up, and this might be bad news for Chris Elite so late into the match! MYLES NOW RUNNING THE ROPES- BUT CHRIS ELITE MANAGES TO LAND A BOOT TO THE FACE! CHRIS WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE, AND NOW CHRIS ELITE IS UNTANGLING HIS ARMS TO SAVE HIMSELF-
James Peters: IT WAS A SMART MOVE BY CHRIS, BUT I DON’T THINK CHRIS ANTICIPATED THIS PART! MYLES JUST RAN IN AND SENT CHRIS ELITE OUT OF THE RING WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Chris Elite was just taken out of the ring, and now it’s Myles that’s in control as he waits for Chris to get back up.
(Ryan Wilson sarcastically claps for Myles, and Myles just shakes his head, trying to ignore Ryan as Chris finds his way back up to his feet.)
Rich Russillo: Chris Elite is back up, BUT NOW MYLES IS RUNNING THE ROPES, AND NOW LOOK AT HIM FLY!!!!
James Peters: TOPE CON HILO!!!! MYLES TAKES OUT CHRIS ELITE WITH AN INCREDIBLE TOPE CON HILO, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE IGNORING RYAN, BECAUSE HE JUST KNOCKED CHRIS RIGHT BACK OFF OF HIS FEET!
Ryan Wilson: (off-mic) Great job! Great thinking there, Champ! Gonna need a lot more than that to stop me from taking your title, though!
(With Chris Elite down, Myles finally gives Ryan his attention, staring a hole in his Shock Value opponent.)
Myles: (off-mic) Stop talking.
Ryan Wilson: (off-mic) Or..?
(Myles stops for a second, and choosing not to get caught up in whatever Ryan Wilson has to say, he grabs Chris Elite.)
James Peters: CHRIS ELITE LANDS A PUNCH TO MYLES’ MIDSECTION! Unfortunately for Myles, Ryan distracted him for just enough time for Chris to recover at least a little bit! CHRIS NOW WITH A FOREARM TO MYLES! AND ANOTHER! MYLES RESPONDS WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN THOUGH, AND NOW MYLES SENDS CHRIS INTO THE- NO! CHRIS TURNED IT AROUND, AND NOW MYLES GOES BACK FIRST INTO THE RING APRON! Chris Elite now jumping onto the barricade, AND HE TAKES MYLES DOWN WITH A DIVING CROSSBODY!
Rich Russillo: Chris Elite takes a second to recover, catching his breath after all the offense he took over these past few minutes! Chris now sending Myles back into the ring before rolling behind, and I think Chris Elite has something in mind here! Chris Elite slowly pulling Myles up, and it looks like Chris is setting up for something!
Persephone: Yeah, obviously. What else would he be doing?
James Peters: Chris has Myles in a front facelock, AND I THINK CHRIS IS SETTING UP FOR THE FACE VALUE DDT- BUT MYLES IS ABLE TO PUSH CHRIS OFF OF HIM JUST IN TIME! MYLES SAVES HIMSELF FROM GETTING CAUGHT WITH THAT DEVASTATING DDT, AND NOW MYLES LIFTS CHRIS UP BEFORE-
Rich Russillo: NO! CHRIS ELITE SLIPS OUT OF MYLES’ GRASP AND PUSHES HIM INTO THE ROPES, WHILE ALSO BACKPEDALING INTO THE OPPOSITE PAIR! MYLES RUNS IN AND ATTEMPTS A LARIAT, BUT CHRIS DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE RUNNING INTO THE OTHER PAIR OF ROPES! OPEN YA MATA!!!! CHRIS ELITE CONNECTS WITH THE JUMPING KNEE STRIKE AND TAKES MYLES DOWN TO THE MAT!
James Peters: USUALLY IT’S MYLES DELIVERING THE KNEE STRIKES, BUT NOT THIS TIME! CHRIS ELITE DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER, AND THIS MIGHT JUST BE IT FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
Rich Russillo: NO!!!! MYLES POPS THE SHOULDER UP JUST BEFORE THREE!!!! MYLES GETS THE SHOULDER UP! I thought that could’ve been it, but this is Myles, how could I forget!? This man might just be one of, if not THE most resilient Elitist in this entire company! He’s always managed to survive crazy amount of offense, and it looks like tonight is no different, unfortunately for Chris Elite!
Persephone: Great. You just reminded me that this match probably won’t end anytime soon. 😒
James Peters: Myles is hurting, and now Chris Elite is back to his feet, realizing that he needs to hurry and find a way to bring this match to an end! Chris Elite is making his way up to the top turnbuckle now, and this could be the end of the match right here! I think Myles is slowly beginning to stir, but at this rate that’s not gonna matter! AIMIN FOR THE MOON!!!!
Rich Russillo: IT DID MATTER!!! MYLES WAS STARTING TO STIR, AND THE SMALL BIT OF TIME HE HAD TO RECOVER WAS JUST ENOUGH FOR HIM TO GET HIS KNEES UP!!! CHRIS ELITE LANDED RIGHT ONTO MYLES’ KNEES, AND THAT JUST KILLED CHRIS’ CHANCES OF FINISHING THIS MATCH AS NOW HE NEEDS JUST AS MUCH TIME TO RECOVER AS MYLES!
Persephone: How much of an idiot do you have to be to screw that up!? All he had to do was do things faster and he would’ve had the match won! Or he could’ve just not went for a diving move, and he would’ve had the match won! Or better yet, HE COULD’VE WRESTLED BETTER AND HE WOULD’VE HAD THE MATCH WON! WHY CAN’T ANYONE HERE DO THEIR JOBS RIGHT!?!?
James Peters: Myles is slowly finding his way back up, but so is Chris Elite! They’re both getting back up, AND NOW CHRIS ELITE RUSHES IN, BUT MYLES IS FAST ENOUGH TO LAND A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF CHRIS’ HEAD, AND NOW MYLES QUICKLY LIFTS HIM UP!!!! WRATH OF PANDORA!!! WRATH OF PANDORA CONNECTS ON CHRIS ELITE, AND NOW THIS TIME IT’S CHRIS THAT’S IN TROUBLE, BECAUSE THIS MIGHT JUST BE IT!!! THIS MIGHT JUST BE IT FOR ONE HALF OF THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, AS NOW IT’S MYLES GOING FOR THE COVER TO PUT AN END TO THIS ONE!!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!-
Rich Russillo: AND SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, CHRIS ELITE STAYS ALIVE!!!! SOMEHOW CHRIS ELITE MANAGED TO JUST BARELY POWER OUT AND GET HIS SHOULDER OFF OF THE MAT, AND THANKS TO THAT, THIS MATCH IS STILL ON! Myles sits up, and while he’s not completely frustrated, he has to be wondering what it’ll take to actually keep Chris Elite down right now! Ryan Wilson’s outside of the ring focused on this match, and surprisingly, he’s not even saying anything!
Persephone: About time he kept his mouth shut.
James Peters: Myles is slowly getting back up, not rushing as he really needs the time to catch his breath and recover after what these two put each other through, AND NOW THERE’S A NASTY BOOT TO THE SIDE OF CHRIS’ HEAD, JUST AS CHRIS WAS SLOWLY STARTING TO STIR! Myles was smart to keep Chris down as he takes the time to recover, and it looks like Myles is about to try once again to put this match to an end now that he’s been given more of a chance to finally recover! Chris Elite is in a lot of trouble here!
Rich Russillo: Myles now slowly pulling Chris up, BUT CHRIS HITS MYLES WITH A FOREARM TO THE JAW! Myles stumbles a bit, caught by surprise by that forearm! Chris Elite now, GOING FOR ANOTHER- BUT MYLES DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE FIRING BACK WITH A RIGHT HAND, AND THAT DROPS CHRIS TO A KNEE! Myles now looking to capitalize- BUT CHRIS ELITE RESPONDS WITH A RIGHT HAND OF HIS OWN! NOW MYLES ANSWERS BACK WITH A FOREARM! NOW CHRIS ELITE WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! THESE TWO ARE TRADING SHOTS, LOOKING TO TAKE EACH OTHER DOWN!
Persephone: And somehow neither of them are succeeding.
James Peters: CHRIS ELITE CATCHES MYLES WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION, AND NOW HE SENDS MYLES INTO THE ROPES! Chris Elite now charging in- BUT MYLES GRABS ONTO THE ROPES AND STOPS HIMSELF BEFORE DELIVERING A SIDE ELBOW, CAUSING CHRIS TO FALL BACK!! Myles now charging in at Chris Elite, BUT CHRIS MANAGES TO CATCH MYLES AND TAKE HIM DOWN WITH AN ARM DRAG! Chris taking a second, AND NOW HE JUMPS UP FOR A KNEE DROP, BUT MYLES MANAGED TO AVOID IT! That’s the issue with this match lasting as long as it has! These two are slowly running out of gas, and that’s causing them to move slower and slower!
Rich Russillo: Myles rushes back to his feet using the ropes, AND NOW HE HITS CHRIS ELITE WITH A SUPERKICK! Myles just dropped Chris Elite with a superkick, and now Myles gets on top of Chris before beginning to deliver a series of elbow shots, looking to potentially knock Chris out to finish this match! That’d be a very surprising turn of events, but we’ve been seeing all match just how much of a heavy hitter Myles could be, so if Chris wants to stop that he needs to do something quickly!
Persephone: Orrrr, he could tap out or say he quits or something! I don’t know, but ANYTHING to stop this match from continuing! I don’t even know why they’re competing after King of Elite, it doesn’t actually make any sense!
James Peters: Chris Elite manages to push Myles off of him, and now both Elitists get back to their feet, AND NOW CHRIS SPINS AND DELIVERS A DISCUS ELBOW STRIKE, WHICH DROPS MYLES TO A KNEE! Myles lost his balance thanks to the force of that elbow, AND NOW CHRIS LIFTS MYLES UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY BEFORE-
Rich Russillo: NO! MYLES MANAGES TO SLIP BEHIND CHRIS AND PUSH HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Now it’s Myles lifting Chris Elite onto his shoulders, BUT CHRIS ELITE BEGINS ELBOWING AWAY AT THE SIDE OF MYLES’ HEAD! MYLES HAS CHRIS UP IN THE FIREMAN’S CARRY, BUT CHRIS ELITE IS DOING EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO FORCE MYLES TO LET GO OF HIM! MYLES IS LOSING HIS GRASP- AND NOW THERE IT IS! MYLES LETS GO OF CHRIS, AND NOW CHRIS ELITE PICKS MYLES UP BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS THE CORNER IN THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING!
James Peters: OH NO, I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT CHRIS WAS LOOKING FOR AND IT LOOKS LIKE MYLES DID TOO! CHRIS ELITE WAS LOOKING FOR THE 44 BULLDOG, BUT MYLES MANAGED TO SLIP OUT OF CHRIS’ GRASP AT THE LAST SECOND, BEFORE PUSHING CHRIS’ FACE INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! Chris Elite drops to the mat, and now you can definitely see this match taking its toll, as I don’t think that would’ve dropped Chris earlier in the match! Myles definitely seems to understand this very well, and I think he’s about to put this one away!
Persephone: Thank God. I genuinely can’t stress enough how much I hate this match and how long it’s lasted.
Rich Russillo: Myles lifts Chris Elite up against the ropes before once again trapping his arms in them, and I think Myles is about to do what he failed to earlier! MYLES NOW RUNNING THE ROPES- Wait what??
(As Myles is about to bounce off of the ropes he abruptly stops against his well. He tries to free his leg, before looking down behind him in confusion.)
Rich Russillo: RYAN WILSON GRABBED THE LEG, WHAT IS HE DOING!?!?
(Myles is pissed, and he gets his leg out of Ryan’s grasp as the referee goes over to yell at Ryan, warning him not to get involved again.)
Myles: (off-mic) What the fuck are you doing!?
James Peters: That’s a really good question, why would Ryan interfere like that?? He did distract Myles earlier, but just now he directly interfered and I don’t get what he’s trying to do!
Rich Russillo: I think he’s trying to get inside Myles’ head, but after what Myles did at King of Elite, is that really a great idea!?
(Ryan backs away from the apron, and Myles can’t believe that Ryan would have the nerve to interfere like that. After a few seconds, he just shakes his head, turning his attention back to the match.)
James Peters: BOX OFFICE SMASH!!!!
Rich Russillo: WHAT!?!?
Persephone: FINALLY!!!
James Peters: MYLES WAS DISTRACTED THANKS TO RYAN WILSON GRABBING THE LEG! RYAN SEEMED TO GET WHAT HE WANTED, AS CHRIS HAD ENOUGH TIME TO FREE HIMSELF FROM THE ROPES AND HIT MYLES WITH THAT DEVASTATING SUPERKICK!!! MYLES WAS JUST KNOCKED OUT WITH THAT BOX OFFICE SMASH OUT OF NOWHERE, AND NOW CHRIS ELITE HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE VICTORY ON THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… One half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, CHRRRIISSSSSS EEELLLIIIIITTEE!!!!!
James Peters: CHRIS ELITE JUST PICKED UP A VICTORY AGAINST THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, BUT I DON’T THINK THAT’S HOW HE WANTED IT TO HAPPEN! Chris Elite definitely would’ve liked to actually win on his own accord, but Ryan Wilson’s interference ended up playing a major part in Myles’ defeat!
Rich Russillo: He won though, and that’s definitely a big deal! What a way to end the first Voltage after King of Elite!
(With a grin on his face, Ryan looks at the fallen Myles.)
James Peters: WAIT, RYAN WILSON JUST SLID INTO THE RING, AND I THINK HE’S ABOUT TO GO AFTER MY-
Rich Russillo: BOX OFFICE SMASH!!! RYAN WILSON WAS ABOUT TO ATTACK MYLES AND CHRIS ELITE JUST DROPPED HIM WITH A BOX OFFICE SMASH!!!
Persephone: :mjlol: I didn’t care about that match but seeing Ryan Wilson get dropped like that is always funny.
James Peters: Can’t say it wasn’t deserved either, what was he thinking!?
(Chris Elite motions to the timekeepers area, and one of the staff members hands him a microphone as Myles slowly stirs, pulling himself to the ropes.)
Chris Elite: That’s not how I wanted to win. At this point I’m getting real sick and tired of people getting involved with my business. Just a week ago I competed in the King of Elite finals, and I lost. I didn’t get what I wanted, “KCE” didn’t happen, all of that. It wasn’t a great night, and winning thanks to Ryan fucking Wilson a week later really doesn’t make things any better. I never asked for Ryan to be out here or to help me out, so all that bullshit really doesn’t sit well with me.
(Chris Elite turns to Myles, who is sitting against the ropes and holding his jaw, starting to wrap his head around what just happened moments ago.)
Chris Elite: Fuck what happened tonight, I want another chance against you.
(After a few seconds, the crowd begins cheering as Myles slowly begins to nod his head.)
Myles: (off-mic) Shock Value.
Chris Elite: Yeah?
Myles: (off-mic) Fuck it, why not? I’m not here to rest on my laurels. Fuck his unique opportunity, I’ll fight you both.
(The cheers grow even louder, and a large grin grows on Chris Elite’s face.)
Chris Elite: Shit, if you say so. By the powers invested in me by the Gawd Contract, there ya go.
(The crowd cheers, and finally ‘Invincible’ begins playing once again as Chris Elite slowly makes his way out of the ring, still grinning after the announcement.)
James Peters: WHAT!?!? THE EAW CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH AT SHOCK VALUE IS A TRIPLE THREAT NOW!?
Rich Russillo: I guess so! He used the Gawd Contract, that has to mean it’s official now, right!? Myles agreed to it!
Persephone: Whatever.
James Peters: This is huge! This is an incredible match for Shock Value! That’s all for tonight, but we’ll see you all next week, and as you can see things are really heating up here on Voltage!
(As ‘Invincible’ continues to play, Chris Elite makes his way up the ramp walking backwards, having won the match, though not how he wanted to. As Myles sits in the ring, he looks over at Ryan Wilson, who was also dropped with the superkick only moments after him, before looking back at Chris Elite. As he and Chris have a bit of a staredown as Chris slowly backpedals up the ramp, Voltage fades to black for the final time.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
