(EAW intro plays.)
(Sunday Night Voltage kicks off with a bang! The show starts off with a recap of what happened last week at the brand’s exclusive Free-Per-View, Shock Value: Night One kicks off with an amazing thriller in the form of EAW Hall of Famer Cage coming out on top against Ms. Extreme in an Electric Weapons match. It then goes to show an interview with Madison Kaline which is interrupted by Cleopatra who wishes her luck while Madison does the same. In the second match of the night Johnny Andrews and Solomon Stane, also known as The Golden Guns, get a victory over Kirk Redwood and Shane Gates in an Electric Floorz match. Marybecca are then seen having a pep talk with one another where they hype eachother up for their respective matches at Shock Value and look forward to their match at Dia Del Diablo the following week as well. The next match consists of Miku Sakai standing tall over Becca Black in the Electric Chair, strapping her in and pulling the lever. Captain Charisma is then with Molly Waters where the Voltage Commissioner announces the return of the Gold Rush Tournament. Following that, Dynasty’s Alex Myers earns the right to fight for the New Breed Championship after beating both Jay Jerry Johnson and Showdown’s ARIA in an Electric Eel Deathmatch. Andrea Valentine is then interviewed at ringside where she says that she will be in attendance tonight keeping a close eye on Madison Kaline who is in the next match. Madison then gets the victory over Mary S. Atlas in a Prods & Tasers match before a brawl sparks between her and Andrea which needs to be split up. Then following that the main event of Night One consists of Drake King vs. Xander Payne ending in a no contest after both commit career suicide in an Electric Pool match. To kick off Night Two kicks off with Mr. DEDEDE opening the show getting a victory over Hikari Kanno in an Electric Wallz match. Donovan Duke then gets a victory over Lucas Johnson following that by quite literally blowing him up in a Power Grid Street Fight for the National Elite Championship. The Haircare Kings, Jake Smith and Chris Elite, are seen backstage as they hype one another up for their Shock Value matches to come. It then goes to Kendra Shamez getting the victory over Cleopatra in an Electric Space Heater match. It then goes to a brutal Electric Scaffold match where Minerva gets a victory over Cleopatra. Myles then has an interview after the match where he talks about it only to be interrupted by Ryan Wilson who sends a warning towards him. Jake Smith then beats Jacob Senn in a Shock Collar match. Before moving on to the main event which consists of Myles retaining his EAW World Championship in a High Voltage match between Ryan Wilson and Chris Elite. Afterward, a returning Brian Daniels confronts Myles and stakes his claim for World Championship gold to end the Free-Per-View and the recap as well.)
(Sunday Night Voltage then goes to the BOK Center where ‘33rd Blakk Glass’ by ZilaKami & SosMula is heard blasting through the speakers of the arena while the crowd erupts into thunderous cheers, the camera panning around to show them hyped up in the stands. Gold pyro shoots out from the stage in various shades and various ways before the camera then transitions over to the broadcasting booth. Rich Russillo, James Peters, and Persephone are seen as Rich begins to speak.)
Rich Russillo: We are hot off the heels of the Voltage exclusive Free-Per-View Shock Value and on the road to Grand Rampage live from Tulsa, Oklahoma! Where we welcome you to another star-studded episode of SUNDAY NIGHT VOLTAGE!
James Peters: Star-studded indeed and while most of our roster is either dead or recovering in the hospital regardless we still have a show here for you tonight! In our main event we have a Champion versus Champion matchup with the EAW World Champion Myles going up against EAW National Elite Champion Donovan Duke, and frankly I just can’t wait. Along with that we also have Ryan Wilson going up against Shane Gates in what should be a great match as well. I personally-
Persephone: Blah blah blah you can’t wait let’s get onto the action WE GET IT. Every week I have to wait for this fucking show to end so I can leave and do something better with my time, like pray to my Rex McAllister shrine. So I’m sick and tired of your shit Jim, just go to whatever the fuck is going on and leave me alone.
(Voltage fades to ringside, and ‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi hits. The crowd immediately begins cheering loudly, and somehow, after what he went through at Shock Value, Myles walks out to the stage with his EAW World Champion on his shoulder. Myles is bandaged up after Shock Value, having gone through a brutal High Voltage match, but Myles has a microphone in his hand, clearly prepared to speak.)
James Peters: It looks like Myles is going to be starting off the show with a few words for us here, and I for one can’t wait to hear what he has to say!
Rich Russillo: Me neither! Myles went through one hell of a battle.. But that’s not all he dealt with.
James Peters: That’s right. After the match Brian Daniels made his return to the company, and I can’t help but wonder what Myles thinks right now.
(Myles enters the ring, and Myles has a pretty serious look on his face as he begins to speak.)
Myles: I don’t think I need to ask whether or not any of you were watching Shock Value last week. I know you were, so I know that last week you all saw me retain the EAW World Championship against Ryan Wilson and Chris Elite. After the brawls, the words, and everything in between, in the end I managed to leave Shock Value with the EAW Championship, but I can’t help but respect what Ryan and Chris brought to the table. I don’t always get to say this, and it’s not often that I’m in a position to give Ryan of all people credit for anything, but they brought the fight. They made sure that High Voltage wasn’t just a match, and that it was a war. They made sure that I went through hell defending this Championship, and I respect that.
Myles: I didn’t expect an easy Championship defense, especially not when Chris Elite was added to the mix. As soon as I agreed to making Shock Value a triple threat match, I knew what I was signing myself up for, and I had no problem with it because that’s just the kind of man I am. I’ve never backed down from challenges, I’ve never feared dangerous match stipulations or multiple opponents. I’m a fighter, and no matter what the situation is I’ll have no problem with fighting. Shock Value was everything I could have asked for and more, and even now I’m still bandaged up, still a little banged up, and that’s just to be expected after what I went through. This is the type of thing that I expect when defending the EAW Championship. I expect brutality, I expect my opponents to bring everything they have, I expect them to throw everything they’ve got at me, and I’m glad that I can say they delivered. In the end, no matter how I feel about Ryan Wilson, no matter how I feel about Chris Elite, they fought. They fought as hard as they could, and again, I have to respect that. Now I wish that I could be leaving the ring right now, turning my attention to my match later tonight having said all I needed to.. But my night didn’t end when I retained my Championship.
(The crowd immediately grows louder into a more mixed reaction, already knowing what Myles is referring to.)
Myles: For some reason another relic of the past chose to show up after the High Voltage match, that relic being Brian Daniels. I don’t know Brian. I’m not his friend, I’m not his enemy, I don’t have any actual history with him, and for some reason he chose to walk out right after the High Voltage match was over, staring me in the eyes just as Shock Value was coming to a close. I don’t know why Brian would come back at Shock Value, or even come back at all after all the years he’s spent away from EAW. The only thing I know is what Brian made very clear, and what he made clear is that he wants the EAW World Championship.
(The crowd explodes into cheers.)
Myles: Well.. I’ve never been afraid of a fight, so Brian? You might as well get out here right now. If a fight is what you want then a fight is what you’ll get, but before I give you that fight, I need to understand. Why the fuck are you back? Why are you here, after all this time?
(The crowd continues to cheer loudly, and finally ‘Backseat Freestyle’ by Kendrick Lamar hits for the second time in two weeks, causing a mixed reaction from the crowd that’s just as loud as it was when Brian Daniels walked out and made his first EAW entrance in years back at Shock Value. Once again Brian walks out to the stage, only this time he has a microphone in his hand, showing that he’s actually got something he wants to say unlike in his last appearance following the High Voltage match.)
James Peters: It looks like Brian Daniels is out here after all, and it looks like Brian has something to say as well! Not that it’s a surprise that Brian would want to respond to Myles, but just look at this. This man is actually back with EAW, after all these years!
Rich Russillo: I still can’t believe this man is back in EAW. We’ve seen so many shocking returns in the past few months, and I just don’t know how to process it all!
Persephone: Well you can start by remembering that none of them are Rexy, and therefore all of these returning “legends” are worthless oldheads that belong in a retirement home, not a wrestling ring.
James Peters: :francis:
(Brian Daniels makes his way into the ring, taking his time as Myles watches on. The crowd is loud, and before Brian begins to speak, a smirk grows on his face as he just looks around at the crowd, really thinking about the fact that he is once again standing inside of an EAW ring.)
Brian Daniels: Before I get into the “Why” and explain my return to the company, I think I should take the time to give everyone a little history lesson. It’s been so long since I’ve been in this company, that a lot of you in the crowd right now might not even know me as anything but “a name from the past”, when in reality I’m a lot more than that. I’m a two-time World Heavyweight Champion. I’m a three-time Tag Team Champion. I’m a former Interwire Champion, I’ve built a legacy for myself that the man standing in the ring with me hasn’t even been able to surpass, and yet, I did eventually leave the company. At Pain for Pride X I wrestled my final match, closed out the show with a victory and called it a career. That was it at the time, until season 11, where I’d return as the general manager of Showdown. Things didn’t go smoothly. In fact, behind the scenes issues led to a very public departure from the company where myself and various others would find ourselves in various different places until I finally called it a career in 2018.
Brian Daniels: The problem is, I wasn’t calling it a career because I didn’t have anything left to give to this business or even anything left to give in the ring, I just simply knew that none of it was worth it if it wasn’t being done in the one place that matters. I’ve been to the “other side”, hell I practically created the other side and made way for those people to have so called “alternatives” and “spin-offs”, and whether any of them want to admit it or not, I know it just like they know it. There’s just a different feeling being able to say you accomplished your goals in the land of Elite.
(The crowd cheers, but Myles doesn’t actually look too impressed.)
Myles: …Well?
Brian Daniels: Well, in my absence a new era emerged, a new crop of stars has arrived and the hypothetical what-ifs have always echoed around various circles. When I was reached out to for #EAW15, that was my opportunity to prove that no matter the era, the regime, or the Champion, I am still the best damn wrestler out there and I’m not just going to prove that, I’m going to do it in a way that nobody returning to EAW this quickly would ever have the balls to do. You’re right Myles. You were completely right when you said I was here because I wanted your Championship, because I do. I do want your title. I’ve been gone for years and for a long time it looked like I’d never come back to this place, or add more to my legacy in EAW, and now that I have the opportunity to pick up where I left off, I’m going straight for the top.
Myles: What, so that’s it? You’re doing this because you still have more you want to accomplish? Do you really think you’re special in that regard? People are returning on a weekly basis at this point all because they have unfinished business, you’re no different.
Brian Daniels: That’s true, but none of them are challenging you, and that’s why I’m here. I’m here to regain my spot at the top, and there’s no better way to do that than to return to EAW and win the EAW World Championship. I watched your High Voltage match, and I won’t pretend it wasn’t impressive. I won’t pretend that you didn’t retain your Championship in impressive fashion, because you did. It was a good match, it was competitive, it was violent, and it was exactly the kind of thing to expect during the era that I missed all this time I’ve been gone, but now, your time with that EAW Championship is running out. You’re on borrowed time, and I just hope you understand that *this* is why I’m back. In due time I’m going to win that Championship, and it’ll be like I never left.
(‘Backseat Freestyle’ begins to play once more, and as the mixed reaction grows louder once again, Brian Daniels begins to make his way out of the ring.)
James Peters: Well it looks like Brian Daniels said all he wanted to say, and if there’s one thing he absolutely made clear, it’s that Brian Daniels is back to reclaim his spot on top of EAW. Brian Daniels wants to become World Champion again, and he wants to do it at Myles’ expense! I don’t think it’s anything personal, but Myles is the one standing in Brian Daniels’ way!
Rich Russillo: Myles has a lot to think about heading into his upcoming match against Donovan Duke tonight, and I have to say this is a lot. It’s a lot to have to deal with something like this ahead of such a major match, but either way, Brian Daniels is back and he wants the EAW Championship! I don’t know when this match is going to happen, but what I do know is that it’s going to be one for the ages!
Persephone: Seriously, who cares!? Who cares that he’s back!? Who cares that Brian Daniels wants the EAW title!? NOT ME! As long as Rexy isn’t involved, I don’t really care about anything that happens around here.
James Peters: Right, I think we already got that a couple of years ago.
Persephone: Shut up.
(Brian Daniels continues to make his way up the ramp, meanwhile Myles remains in the ring with a lot to think about. Myles doesn’t look happy, but Myles completely understands why Brian is here now, and having heard what Brian had to say, Myles doesn’t take his eyes off of him. As Myes continues to look at the returning Brian Daniels, Voltage fades away from ringside for the first time in the night.)
(Voltage fades to a commercial advertising the funeral for Ronan Malosi. #RIPBOZO.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside, where Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone in her hand.$
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled FOR!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
( “Best Damn Thing” by Avril Lavigne blasts through the speakers to the loud cheers from the audience as McCall Everett makes her 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!! She is “SKATER GURL”!! MCCAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL EEEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEEETT!!!!!
James Peters: Last time we saw the skater gurl on Voltage she was facing Leon Dieter in a losing cause on February 27th.
Rich Russillo: A strong back and forth between the two, McCall gave her opponent everything she had but it was not enough to bring home victory! She had a match over on Dynasty a week ago against Bryant Coffey, but it’s good to see her back on Voltage!
Persephone: Great, so this match is actually two losers competing. Greeeeeaaaat…
(“Brave Shine” by Aimer takes over the sound as cheers ensue and the freshly debuted Haruka Kashimashi makes her way onto the stage, enthusiastically waving to the fans and jumping around the stage.)
Bella Braxton: AAAND HER OPPONENT From Sapporo, Hokkaido! Weighing in at 128 pounds! HARUKAAAAAAA KASSHIIMMMASSHHIIIIIIII!!!!
James Peters: This is young Haruka’s third match here in Elite Answers Wrestling and she will be looking to claim her first win, having lost on February 27th against Kirk Redwood.
Rich Russillo: I feel like it is but a matter of time before a Dub goes her way, we see how hard she works in the ring thus her efforts will produce results if she keeps at it.
Persephone: Still a fucking loser!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
James Peters: And Here We GO! This match is officially underway! This should be a mighty interesting battle between two hungry competitors and it begins with a clinch between McCall and Haruka! We can see them strain against one another and quickly Haruka moves, slips rather behind Everett, AND LIFTS HER UP FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! THE MOVE LANDS AND McCALL IS ON HER BACK FIRST IN THIS MATCH! McCall turns going to her knees BUT SHE IS BROUGHT DOWN AGAIN AS KASHIMASHI SLAMS HER HEAD INTO THE MAT WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG! Haruka with the early advantage in this match as McCall tries to get to her feet and she is helped by her opponent.
Rich Russillo: Haruka whips McCall into th-No it’s reversed by the Sk8ter Gurl! Haruka goes to McCall AND TAKES HER DOWN ONCE AGAIN THIS TIME WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL DDT!! This is a full-on offensive set by The Prodigious Valkyrie early in this match! And there she goes with a roundhouse kick making Everett spins around! She follows it with a rolling elbow smash to the back of McCall’s head AND FINISHES WITH A BACKSTABBER!! McCall is in trouble early in this match! McCall retreats to a corner, Haruka is actually giving her opponent some space! How kind of her!
Persephone: This is making the match longer than it should. Get a move on bitch! This show doesn’t last for hours!
James Peters: McCall moves towards Haruka looking to engage now and quickly her opponent moves and throws herself into a soccer kick DUCKED by Everett! A kick to the midsection is awarded for Kashinashi’s efforts BEFORE McCALL HOPS OVER HER BACK AND TAKES HER DOWN WITH A SUNSET FLIP BOMB FOLLOWED BY A PINFALL ATTEMPT!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: That went fast!
James Peters: Just like that! With one move McCall almost ran away with the win! Haruka is holding her back and looks a bit surprised as she is on her knees how whole McCall is giving her time to recover as well returning the favor with a smile on her face.
Persephone: Ugh!! What’s with people and ‘sportsmanship’ these days!
Rich Russillo: What’s wrong with respect between peers?
Persephone: Respect doesn’t win you matches Rich.
Rich Russillo: Let’s return to the match before James cuts us off. McCall just helped Haruka to her feet before seeing her dash into the ropes. Kashimashi hops over McCall who’ve hit the deck and quickly got back vertical sending Haruka down to her back with a hip toss! Haruka back to her feet quickly and both opponents are rushing to the ropes McCALL SLAMS DOWN HER OPPONENT WITH A CROSSBODY! McCall is wailing away at Haruka with punches and fists of fury! She gets off of her, forcing Haruka up, and whips her into the ropes AND SHE TAKES DOWN EVERETT WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKES! McCall didn’t see that one coming!
James Peters: Down goes McCall but she gets back up fairly quickly, Haruka is behind her she grabs hold and takes her for a ride! SAITO SUPLEX! Down goes Everett who is trying to get up as quickly as she can but that suplex had some effect. Haruka moves behind McCall going for a sleeper hold TURNING IT INTO ANOTHER SUPLEX! Haruka is back in command now with a series of various suplexes as she helps McCall to her feet and throws a pair of fists to her face before whipping her to the ropes!
Rich Russillo: McCall tries for a clothesline but she gets taken down with a sling blade and a cover by Haruka!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Persephone: No good!
Rich Russillo: Indeed as Everett got the shoulder up there will need to be much more damage done for Kashimashi to put away McCall Everett. She gets helped up again by Haruka who gets an arm around the neck of Everett for a headlock. She shoves McCall to a corner and she runs behind her BUT McCALL HOPS OVER HARUKA WITH THE HELP OF THE ROPES! SHE MOVES TO HER OPPONENT’S SIDE QUICKLY GRABBING AT HER HEAD AND WALKING ON THE ROPES TAKING HARUKA DOWN WITH A SPRINGBOARD BULLDOG! Haruka had no idea that was going to land on her and she looks stunned as McCall tries to mount an offensive streak!
James Peters: She kicks at the ribs of Haruka a few times before going for a standing senton and a few elbow drops for good measure! Haruka is helped to her feet and whipped into the ropes. She bounces towards McCALL WHO LEAPS AND TWIRLS AROUND HARUKA TURNING THIS INTO A TORNADO DDT!! COVER BY McCALL!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Persephone: No good! Deja Vu!
Rich Russillo: Haruka won’t be taken down easily it seems though that DDT made its mark on the Hokkaido native who’s holding her head while getting moved to her feel by McCall. Into the ropes goes Kashimashi gets taken down by a clothesline! She gets up again, into the ropes she goes once more McCall raises a boot but Haruka ducks to the side AND GOES FOR THE SQUID GAME!! THE OCTOPUS HOLD SUDDENLY LOCKED AROUND McCALL EVERETT WHO’S IN TROUBLE!! IS THIS HOW THE MATCH WILL END??
Persephone: PLEASE YES! SO WE CAN MOVE ON TO SOMETHING BETTER!!
James Peters: McCall is trying to resist the urge to call it quits and tap, Haruka has the move tightly locked in BUT McCall does a smart play by swinging herself down to the floor! This had the look of a Samoan drop and Haruka drops the hold! Quick thinking by the Sk8ter Gurl who could’ve lost the match right then and there! So far this has been an interesting match-up as McCall is on her knees coughing while her opponent is getting to her feet. McCall whips her into the ropes, tries for a clothesline but misses AND LOOK AT HARUKA WHO BOUNCES OfF THE ROPES UPSIDE DOWN AND TAKES DOWN McCALL WITH A LARIAT!!! Everett goes back to her knees holding her mouth her back turned to Haruka who runs to the ropes AND DRIVES HER KNEES INTO McCALL WITH A RUNNING METEORA!! EVERETT GOT PLANTED AND KASHIMASHI ATTEMPTS A COVER!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
James Peters: NO!
Rich Russillo: Somehow McCall found it within her to kick out of the pinning predicament and this match is going to continue!
James Peters: McCall is showing her resolve and her will to win tonight against some strong opposition in the Prodigy! Speaking of her she moves to the ropes, rushing to Everett dropping a leg across her chest before picking her up moving her into a scoop slam BUT McCALL MANAGES TO REVERSE IT INTO A HURRICANRANA!!! Haruka gets up looking a bit dazed! McCall got up faster AND THROWS A SUPERKICK TO THE FACE OF HER OPPONENT! Kashimashi is reeling and somehow still on her feet and her back turned to McCall WHO THEN GOES FOR THE REVERSE FRANKENSTEINEEEEEERR!!! HARUKA LANDS HARD ON THE MAT AND McCALL IS LOOKING TO CAPITALIZE BY HOOKING THE LEGS!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Sigh… Fuck me.
Rich Russillo: The Valkyrie denies McCall the win at least for now as she kicks out! Folks we have to go to a commercial break, don’t go anywhere we will be right back on Sunday Night Voltage right after this!
( A piece of advertisement for Dynasty’s Reckless Wiring free-per-view plays feating the main event of the card between defending World Heavyweight Champion Visual Prophet and challenger SOSA Henderson in a Dome of Death Match! Don’t miss the incredible action as it happens LIVE from the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on Saturday, March 19th, and Sunday, March 20th ONLY ON FREE-PER-VIEW!! )
James Peters: And we are back on this episode of Sunday Night Voltage, if you just tuned in we are in the middle of a fight between Haruka Kashimashi and McCall Everett and these two warrior ladies gave us quite a battle so far tonight! McCall has been in control during the commercial break but just as we went back on the air Haruka took back the reigns with a well-placed headbutt that shifted the odds in her favor. McCall is in the ropes now trying to compose herself but Haruka doesn’t give her time to breathe now as she nails her with a Yakuza kick!
Rich Russillo: McCall goes down but is quickly brought back to a vertical base by her opponent who whips her into the ropes! Haruka with a dropkick that is evaded by McCall and Kashimashi falls flat on the mat! She gets up, wristlock by McCall FOLLOWED BY AN INVERTED STOMP FACEBREAKER PERFECTLY EXECUTED! DOWN GOES HARUKA who tries to get back into the action BUT SHE GETS NAILED BY A FLYING WHEEL KICK!! THAT’S THE KIND OF KICK THAT ENDS MATCHES IN THE UFC!! COVER BY EVERETT!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRR-
Persephone: …
Rich Russillo: And Haruka By Some Miracle Manages to Lift the Shoulder Up! These two ladies are refusing to let go of their chances to win tonight this is great!
James Peters: Absolutely! McCall looking at the official looks like she thought she had this match in the bag as she gets up and throws a few punches at Haruka before helping her to her feet. Irish whip into the ropes McCall tries for a high knee BUT Haruka ducks to the side and brings Everett down with a leg sweep followed by a grounded roundhouse kick! Advantage Kashimashi! McCall tries to get up and is whipped into the ropes. Ducking a spinning heel kick from Haruka SHE DROPKICKS HER! KASHIMASH LANDS INTO THE ROPES AND McCALL GOES ON THE OFFENSIVE WITH QUICKNESS! TIGER FEINT KIIIIIIIIICK!!!
Rich Russillo: Quick thinking and an efficient move by McCall Everett who goes to the top rope and waits for her opponent to get up! MISSILE DROPKICK CONNECTS! Haruka tries to get to her feet SHE GETS DROPPED BY A SHINING WIZARD!!! HARUKA’S DOWN And McCall is looking to capitalize!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO! Kashimashi lifts the shoulder up again! McCall is getting a tad annoyed but what she has to do is remain focused if she wants to win! She moves to her feet, bringing the Valkyrie along with her throwing punches and a knee to the midsection to keep her opponent docile. Everett into the ropes going for another high knee BUT HARUKA DUCKS AND ENDS UP BEH-OH LORD A RELEASE DRAGON SUPLEX DRIVES THE BACK OF McCALL’S NECK INTO THE MAT!! HARUKA WITH A BRIDGE PIN!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
James Peters: Victory Denied By McCall Everett! Haruka needs to do more to win tonight but this reversal was a beautiful move! Haruka tries to get vertical as quickly as her body allows and pulls Everett along with her! SHE HOISTS McCALL UP SHE IS GOING FOR THE UNRAVEL! THE FISHERMAN BUST-NO! McCALL WITH KNEES TO THE HEAD OF KASHIMASI AS SHE THEN LANDS TO HER FEET! Into the ropes, she runs while Haruka is dazed AND TAKES HER DOWN WITH A WHEELBARROW STUNNER!! McCall with one of her signature moves, she goes for a cover!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Rich Russillo: Not enough to take away the Prodigious Valkyrie who lifts the shoulder up! McCall grunts, frustration seems to be growing within her a little bit but this match has been an incredible back and forth between her and Haruka who is slowly getting on her hands and knees! Everett goes to the ropes NAILING DOWN HARUKA WITH A ROLLING FACEBUS-
James Peters: LOOK! HARUKA JUST NO-SOLD THE FACEBUSTER AND SHE QUICKLY GETS TO HER FEET!! McCall didn’t realize it AND SHE GETS SUPERKICKED AS A RESULT WHEN SHE TURNS TO FACE HARUKA!! DOWN GOES McCALL AND HARUKA LOOKS PUMPED!! She goes to a corner, crouched holding to the middle ropes stalking McCall who is slowly getting up what are we going to see from the young star who suddenly dashes forward! SPEAR!!! THE SPEAR BY HARUKA KASHIMASHI!! DOWN GOES EVERETT AND HARD!!
Rich Russillo: Haruka has an opportunity to end the match right here and there and she moves up top to the nearest turnbuckle! Are we going to-YES! THE PRODIGIOUS LANDING! THE PHOENIX SPLASH LANDS PERFECTLY! THIS IS POETRY IN MOTION FOLKS!
Persephone: Oh shut the fuck up!!
James Peters: HARUKA WITH THE COVER!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEE!!!!
( DING! DING!! DING!!! )
( “Brave Shine” by Aimer plays over the sound system of the arena as Haruka is getting her lead arm raised in victory by the official. She looks mighty happy about the win while McCall seems a bit dejected on her end. )
Bella Braxton: Ladies And Gentlemen The Winner Of This Bout: HARUKA KASHIMASHI!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: What an ending to a spectacular match between two up and coming stars! Both ladies gave us a strong performance but tonight, Haruka Kashimashi earns herself her very first EAW victory!
Rich Russillo: This match could’ve gone either way, McCall having gone through all of her arsenal to try and bring down her opponent tonight showing heart and passion, but it wasn’t meant to be. Nothing to be ashamed of tonight however, this was a great match on both ends!
Persephone: Whatever, commercial please! Or better yet, just end the entire show!
(Haruka continues to celebrate her victory, and Voltage fades away from ringside.)
(The camera fades backstage where we see Captain Charisma talking to a guy in a suit. It seems to be quite a rambunctious conversation, as the Man is quite animated while talking to Captain Charisma.)
???: I want him GONE! You got me Charisma?? If that is your real name. After that shit Jay Jerry Johnson pulled, ABUSING that electric eel at your little FPV Shock Value, he needs to be let go. As a PETA representative, I will not stand idly by as our poor animals are being used, and abused for national television entertainment. Because I’ll tell you what, I don’t see anything sports entertaining about it!
(Captain Charisma is trying to calmly talk the man off the edge, but it doesn’t seem to be working.)
Captain Charisma: Look, I understand where you’re coming from, but I think there are other ways to go about this.
PETA Representative: This man used a living, breathing, creature as a weapon, for his own amusement, and benefit. Did he ask that Electric Eel if that was ok? Doubt it, and that’s why I’m here, to speak up for the voiceless. You have to understand that Mr. Charisma. If he abuses an animal like that on national television, and nothing is done about it, what makes you think that kind of behavior doesn’t transition to his home life?
Captain Charisma: Isn’t it enough that he was in fact shocked, and bitten by the eel in the end? Seems like the man has suffered enough. Look, I don’t want to tell you how to do your job, and I damn sure don’t want you to tell me how I should do mine. It was a wrestling match, and the eel wasn’t hurt. The only animal, person, or thing that was hurt in this whole thing was Triple J. I’m sure the eel is being well taken care of, it’s not like we got it off the black market or anything.
PETA Representative: No, there is no punishment great enough for the stunt he pulled; but firing him is a good start. I need him stripped of everything near and dear to him! Do you think that that eel wanted to be plucked from his home, but in a tank for the amusement of others? Mr. Johnson was shocked? GOOD! By all means, it’s what was meant to be. This man, used a living thing as a prop for his career benefit. Is that how we use living beings now? Should I use you to progress my career?
Captain Charisma: I mean… You’re kind of trying to right now honestly.
PETA Representative: Did you even know that Electric Eels aren’t even eels in actuality? They are a type of KNIFEFISH Mr. Charisma. Do you know how to properly take care of them? Does your supposed animal supplier know how to take care of them? Because the way Jay Jerry Johnson handled that knifefish was NOT with care.
Captain Charisma: Look, the match happened, the fish is fine. I don’t know what else you want from me here.
PETA Representative: What I want Mr. Charisma is some accountability! I want action! I want someone to take the fall here, because animal abuse is something the United States of America takes lightly!
(A knock at the door can be heard, as Jay Jerry Johnson comes walking in)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Hey boss, you wanted to see me?
PETA Representative: There he is the man of the hour! We were just talking about you sport…
Jay Jerry Johnson: Wait a second… What’s this all about?
Captain Charisma: Now Jay, this here is Mr…. Doesn’t matter, anyway, he’s with PETA, and they just wanted to discuss some things with you. They were just concerned about your behavior at Shock Value, using an Electric Eel the way you did. Try not to fly off the handle, this is just a discussion. Nothing has been decided, and we all just want to get to the bottom of this, so we can reach a conclusion.
Jay Jerry Johnson: What do you mean a conclusion? Did you not see what already has happened to me? I’ve been through enough already. What the hell do you want from me? My life? Wasn’t it enough that I lost at Shock Value, AND was eliminated first? Not only that, but I was turned on by my own electric weapon! The Electric Eel betrayed me. Now I have to hear all about it again from PETA? I get it, you’re mad, get over it.
PETA Representative: No sir, I most certainly won’t “just get over it”. There is a reason why that electric eel shocked you. It is because he knows your true character. He knows he was nothing more than a little pawn in your little game. What you did was cruel, and despicable, and if you had 1000x more damage thrown your way at Shock Value, even that still wouldn’t have been enough. I wish that tank was filled to the brim with Electric Eels, so you would’ve actually learned your lesson. And before you say anything, yes, that is an overreaction because I don’t actually wish that, because I know that would be cruelty toward the Electric Eels because that tank would be overpopulated. And with the overpopulation that would be no place for an Electric Eel to live!
Jay Jerry Johnson: Dude, breathe.
PETA Representative: Captain Charisma, this isn’t even just about this man Jay Jerry Johnson, this about your constant refusal to actually put an end to this foolishness. Time after time you continue to put animals in danger just for the mindless entertainment known as wrestling. And every single time we come back here, and try to reprimand you, but it seems you always just come out unscathed. Do you think this isn’t a big deal? Do you think you can just keep getting away it with it? Am I just a joke to you? You can defend your little players here all you want, but at some point you’re going to get the brunt of the retribution. You have no excuse for your behavior, nor do I think you’re qualified to run any sort of business venture.
Captain Charisma: Now hold on just a minute I-
(Suddenly, before the PETA Representative cohld finish speaking, Lucas Johnson comes walking into the room trying to talk to Captain Charisma)
Lucas Johnson: Hey Boss, just wanted to have a talk with you… What…?
(Triple J and Captain Charisma seem to have seen a ghost.)
Captain Charisma: Glad to see you’re alive and in good spirits Lucas.. That’s all.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Yeah I don’t really know what you’re doing here, thought Donovan killed you off back at Shock Value.
(Lucas just ignores Triple J and continues to talk to Captain Charisma)
Lucas Johnson: Look Cap, I just want a shot at something. Just an opportunity to rise up the ranks again, because I’m not content with just accepting the loss to Donovan. I’m better than that and I know I am, and I just want a chance to get myself into the championship picture again, even if I have to work my way up to it.
Captain Charisma: Uh, Lucas I don’t know if you noticed but I’m kind of busy at the moment?
(Captain Charisma points to the two people occupying the room)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Nah, you know what? I actually want the same thing. I want another chance since I didn’t win that contender’s match for the New Breed title. I don’t want to sit around and have to listen to this PETA douche yell at me over a match where I was allowed to do whatever I wanted to.
Lucas Johnson: You know you’re right Jay. Your whole situation with this PETA stuff sucks, especially since your actions at Shock Value weren’t worth it in the end. I could hear that guy’s voice from down the hall, I don’t know how you’re supposed to deal with this.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Don’t worry about that, I’m going to get out of this PETA mess, and when I do, I’m going to find a way to the top, no matter what.
(Lucas nods.)
Lucas Johnson: That’s all I want right now too, an opportunity of some sort after how far I pushed the National Elite Champion Donovan. At this point I’ll do whatever it takes just so I can eventually find myself back in a good position.
(Lucas looks back at Captain Charisma)
Captain Charisma: Once again Lucas, now is not a good time, please come back at another time.
(Lucas lets out a sigh)
Lucas Johnson: Fine, I’ll let you be then, but if you do what’s right, then I swear I’ll deliver.
(Lucas Johnson leaves the office, and he and Jay Jerry Johnson share a look as Lucas exits. After Lucas’ departure, the previous conversation continues, as the PETA representative goes back to yelling at Jay Jerry Johnson and Captain Charisma. From there, the camera fades away from Captain Charisma’s office.)
(The camera cuts back to Bella Braxton, who is standing in the center of the ring, ready to announce the next match.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen this next contest is scheduled for…ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(“Like a Stone” by Audioslave starts to play as Leon Dieter makes his way to the ring with a determined look on his face to cheers from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Making his way to the ring from Dresden, Germany! Weighing in at 213 pounds! He is “THE KING OF LEON” LEON DIETER!
James Peters: Leon Dieter making his way to the ring for singles action here tonight on Voltage. The last time we saw Leon in competition was last week on Dynasty where he faced off against Dynasty’s Joso. Leon put up a good fight, but he came up just a little bit short.
Persephone: What else is new? Thank gawd that match wasn’t on Voltage. What the hell is with that Joso don’t miss bullshit? It’s stupid. Just like this match is going to be.
Rich Russillo: Leon hasn’t had the best luck in EAW, but with the experience he had over in the European wrestling scene, he should have no trouble changing that around in a moment’s notice. All he needs is just that one victory to get the momentum started. He could certainly do it tonight. But from what I’ve seen of his opponent, he is certainly no pushover.
(Leon enters the ring and takes his place in the corner. The look of determination doesn’t leave his face and his eyes don’t leave the entrance ramp as he theme fades off. Seconds later, “Twenty One” by Wage War starts playing as newcomer Ethan Alexander enters the area as he is immediately showered with boos as he makes his way to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing his opponent! Making his Elite Answers Wrestling debut! He is from Columbus, Ohio by way of Sydney, Australia! Weighing in at 267 pounds! He is ETHAN ALEXANDER!
James Peters: Look at the size of this man! 6’4” tall and 267 pounds. Amazing ameteur wrestling resume. All American and an ameteur wrestling champion. This young man is looking to dominate here in EAW.
Persephone: I just got word that his entrance theme is called Twenty One. Is that right? Is it talking about his age or this meathead’s IQ? We lost Rexy for people like him? I lost in that trade.
Rich Russillo: Think whatever you want, Seph. But this young man wants to etch his name in the history books of EAW. Tonight could very well be the very first step on his journey, but he can’t sleep on his opponent Leon Dieter.
James Peters: That’s right. Leon has more experience and knows ways of making bigger opponents like him tumble. If he isn’t careful, Ethan’s first night on the job might be a very long night.
(Ethan enters the ring ready to go as he takes his corner and his entrance theme fades off. The referee checks both competitors before moving to the center of the ring and calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Here we go! Match has started and I think this is going to be a very interesting matchup between one of the rising stars on Voltage against the newest member of the Voltage roster. The power and strength of Ethan Alexander and against the submission skills of Leon Dieter. Classic type battle to say the least.
Persephone: For the love of all that is Rex McAllister, stop trying to build this match up as something good. It’s only been ten seconds and I am already bored. Good grief somebody just end this match as fast as possible. Anyways, the two guys lock up in the center of the ring and we finally have the start of a wrestling match.
Rich Russillo: Alexander using his power advantage early and just shoves Dieter down to the mat. Dieter didn’t appreciate that very much and now Dieter is back up and he is asking Ethan for… A TEST OF STRENGTH? What is Leon thinking? He is missing 5 inches and 50 pounds on this guy. What makes Leon believe that he can match power with someone like him.
James Peters: Well, Ethan looks amused, but he obliges. As we expected, Ethan wins the test of strength and now grabs hold under the armpits of Leon and JUST MUSCLES HIM INTO THE AIR! HOLY COW! WHAT STRENGTH FROM THE ROOKIE! HE IS JUST HOLDING HIM UP THERE WITH EASE! ETHAN TOSSES HIM AND LEON ENDS UP BACK FIRST AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES!
Rich Russillo: Ethan wanted it to be known that he believes that is the strongest person pound for pound in EAW. There’s going to be a few men and women on the roster who might not like that comment, but he is certainly making his case in the early going of this match. Now he is doing a little flexing to show the Tulsa crowd that he believes he is much stronger than his opponent. I think it’s easy to say that this young man has very little humility. The fans here in Tulsa are certainly letting him know what they think of him as they boo him out of the building.
Persephone: Yeah yeah. Big man thinks he’s the strongest man in the company and I really don’t think that he cares about the opinion of these fans. My Rexy is stronger than what he ever will be. The big man now runs full speed towards his opponent. He was looking for a shoulder tackle, but the musclehead missed.
Rich Russillo: Dieter jumped up and Ethan’s shoulder met the turnbuckle. Dieter sitting on the back of Ethan he rolls forward WITH A SUNSET FLIP! DIETER TRYING TO ROLL THE BIG MAN UP AND HE FINALLY DOES!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEE!
TWWWWWW–
James Peters: Ethan kicks out at one, but he was close to getting caught there. Both men back up to their feet and Deiter with a kick to the hamstring of Alexander. Smart strategy by Dieter. Take out the big man’s leg and take away a good chunk of his arsenal.
Rich Russillo: Kick after kick to try and weaken the tree trunk legs of Ethan. But it seems like the kicks aren’t doing as much damage as Leon would like. Ethan is holding his own and he grabs Leon once again and HE SHOWS HIS POWER ONCE AGAIN BY TOSSING LEON HALFWAY ACROSS THE RING WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!
Persephone: If this meathead is so insistent on making his opponents fly, how about he just make them fly away so they never come back and we have plenty of room for the return of my Rexy.
James Peters: Ethan once again brings Leon to his feet and grabs him by the neck. ETHAN BIELS HIM ACROSS THE RING AGAIN BUT LEON MANAGES TO LAND ON HIS FEET! GREAT AWARENESS BY DIETER! Ethan goes for a clothesline, but Leon ducks it. Leon grabs the arm and gets on the back of Ethan and locks the other arm.
Rich Russillo: DIETER LOOKING FOR A CRUCIFIX BUT ETHAN ISN’T BUDGING! LEON POUNDING ON THE BACK TO WEAKEN ETHAN BUT IT’S ALMOST TO NO EFFECT! ETHAN SPINS HIM AROUND AND OFF HIS BACK! NOW ETHAN HAS HOLD OF HIM AND LEON IS IN A LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE HERE!
James Peters: Ethan has him locked up and walks him to the center of the ring BEFORE THROWING HIM OVER HIS HEAD WITH THE FALLAWAY SLAM! LEON LANDED HARD ON HIS BACK! ETHAN WALKS OVER AND DROPS THE ELBOW ACROSS THE CHEST BEFORE GOING FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWW—
Persephone: Of course Leon was going to kick out of that! That was almost a nonchalant cover if I saw one. Word of advice, new guy! No matter how strong you are, you can’t pull stupid shit like that if you are wanting to win matches around here. Unless you are Rex McAllister, then it works all the time.
James Peters: I think even Rex would even disagree with you on that one, but regardless, it is Ethan Alexander with the advantage. Ethan whips Leon into the ropes. LEON COUNTERS AND LOOKS FOR A HEADSCISSORS BUT ETHAN HAS LEON ON HIS SHOULDER! ETHAN LOOKING FOR A RUNNING POWERSLAM BUT LEON MANAGES TO FLIP FORWARD AND COUNTER WITH A JAWBREAKER!
Rich Russillo: Ethan staggered and sent back after that jawbreaker AND LEON WITH A DROPKICK TO THE KNEECAP! BUT THE BIG MAN IS STILL STANDING! LEON HITS THE ROPES AND DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT FROM ETHAN! LEON OFF THE OTHER SIDE AND LEON WITH A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF THE LEG AND THAT GETS ETHAN DOWN TO A KNEE!
James Peters: Ethan trying to get back up to his feet, Leon quickly goes over to the side AND CLOBBERS HIM WITH A SWITCHBLADE KICK TO THE BACK OF THE NECK! ETHAN HAS STILL NOT GONE DOWN! LEON IS WONDER WHAT HE HAS TO DO TAKE THIS BEHEMOTH OF A MAN DOWN!
Persephone: How about a tranquilizer dart? If those kicks and shit aren’t working, might as well go straight to the big guns. It’s not legal in the match, but who cares? It will end this match quicker and we can go on with our lives.
Rich Russillo: As great of an idea it is, my love, I don’t think Leon would like to be disqualified just for the sake of knocking Ethan out.
Persephone: I will never be your love unless you mystically turn into Rex McAllister. That will never happen so I suggest you shut the hell up.
James Peters: While you guys are releasing sexual tension, there is a match going on. Leon Dieter has a side headlock trying to keep Ethan grounded and weaken him as much as he can, but Ethan is quickly getting back up. Ethan back to his feet! ETHAN LIFTS LEON IN THE AIR! ETHAN GOING FOR A BACK SUPLEX BUT LEON FLIPS BACK AND LANDS ON HIS FEET!
Rich Russillo: HOLD ON! ETHAN GRABBED THE NECK OF LEON! ETHAN LOOKS LIKE HE IS GOING FOR A NECKBREAKER, BUT ETHAN SPINS OUT AND CLOCKS LEON IN THE TEMPLE WITH A BEAUTIFUL HANGMAN’S ELBOW! LEON FALLS LIKE STONE AND ETHAN GOES FOR A MORE SERIOUS COVER THIS TIME!!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOO!!
Persephone: Once again, Leon kicks. Try again, rookie. There’s nothing up there for you to hurt with that elbow you just did. All you did was make a hollow sound and possibly even hurt your own elbow. Is this match over yet?
James Peters: No, Seph. It’s not. But Ethan has just mounted Leon and is just pounding lefts and rights into the face and skull of Leon. The referee is admonishing Ethan and telling him to open up the fists. The referee is counting on Ethan and he opens at four since he would have been disqualified on five.
Rich Russillo: Ethan brings Leon back to his feet and whips him into the corner. Ethan once again runs full speed to the turnbuckles and this time the corner attack works in Ethan’s favor. WHAT A SHOULDER TACKLE BY ETHAN ALEXANDER! THAT COULD HAVE TAKEN LEON OUT OF HIS SHOES WITH THE FORCE BEHIND IT!
James Peters: ETHAN FORCING LEON INTO THE CORNER AND CAUSING MORE DAMAGE WITH EACH SHOULDER TACKLE! ONCE AGAIN THE REFEREE ADMONISHES ETHAN TO LET HIM OUT OF THE CORNER OR RISK DISQUALIFICATION!
Persephone: Now the kid is jaw jacking with the referee. What is he doing? Lesson one, rookie. Ignore the referee as much as you can. They are a waste of time anyway. Come on, just let these two kill each other and then we can make these shows that much shorter. Good bye, ref! See ya later!
James Peters: Will you stop that! Not every match has to be bloody and violent. This has been a great match so far. But I agree that it was a rookie mistake for Ethan to turn his attention from Leon to the referee. He’ll learn that lesson in due time and now might be the time.
Rich Rusillo: YOU GOT THAT RIGHT! LEON IS ON THE TOP ROPE AND HE GOES TO FLY!! CROSSBODY OFF THE TOP ROPE! ETHAN GOES DOWN, BUT ETHAN ROLLED THROUGH AND ETHAN IS BACK ON HIS FEET! WHAT STRENGTH BEING SHOWN BY ALEXANDER! LEON IS IN TROUBLE AND ETHAN SPINS HIM OUT AND PLANTS HIM WITH THAT PENDULUM BACKBREAKER!
Persephone: Once again he is not going for the cover! Come on! Yes, he’s down and you want to cause more damage. I’d be ok with that, but go ahead and just go for the pin and end this shit show!!
James Peters: ETHAN CALLING FOR LEON TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET! HE IS DONE PLAYING AROUND AND HE WANTS TO END THIS MATCH! LEON HAS SLOWLY MADE IT BACK UP TO HIS FEET! LEON TURNS AROUND AND GETS A HAND AROUND HIS THROAT FOR HIS TROUBLE! UH OH!
Rich Russillo: ETHAN GOING FOR A CHOKESLAM! LEON IS UP BUT LEON BREAKS FREE! LEON WITH A CHINLOCK AND HE USES THE SECOND ROPE AS A SPRINGBOARD TO PLANT ETHAN WITH THE SOLAR ECLIPSE! LEON DIETER GOT ALL OF THAT SHIRANUI AND ETHAN SURE AS HELL FELT THE LANDING!
James Peters: LEON PLANTED ETHAN ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AFTER THAT SOLAR ECLIPSE! LEON QUICKLY SCRAMBLES TO GO FOR THE COVER! LEON HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOO!!
THHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!
Rich Russillo: THAT WAS SO CLOSE! ETHAN GOT THE SHOULDER UP AT THE LAST SECOND AND LEON CAN’T BELIEVE IT! WHAT GRIT BEING SHOWN BY ETHAN ALEXANDER IN HIS EAW DEBUT MATCH! BUT WILL THE GRIT BE ENOUGH AS ETHAN IS STILL DOWN AND LEON THINKS HE HAS THE OPENING HE NEEDS TO PUT THE ROOKIE AWAY!
James Peters: LEON IS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND HE DRAGS ETHAN OVER TO THE CORNER! NOW LEON CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE! COULD WE BE GETTING READY TO SEE LEON’S FAMOUS DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! I THINK WE ARE! ONE BARBAROSSA SPECIAL ON THE WAY!
Persephone: Why don’t these people ever listen to me? Stay on the ground attack and if you want to finish him off so badly, go for a submission and choke his ass out. Whatever. Leon looks below and jumps. I’m getting my shirts ready for when he screws everything up.
Rich Russillo: SEPH’S PSYCHIC POWERS MUST HAVE KICKED IN BECAUSE ETHAN ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND OF THE BARBAROSSA SPECIAL! LEON STAYED ON HIS FEET BUT IT LOOKS LIKE LEON MIGHT HAVE TWEAKED THAT ANKLE ON THE LANDING! BUT ETHAN DOESN’T CARE! ETHAN WITH A KICK TO THE GUT AND DOUBLES HIM OVER!
Persephone: I told you all! What did I say would happen? I said he’d screw up and that’s exactly what happened. I’ll have my shirt ready for when he leaves. These newbies around here need to learn that they should listen to me.
James Peters: Yeah. Sure. Whatever. Leon has his head down and that is not a good place to be. ETHAN HOISTS HIM UP IN THE AIR! ETHAN LOOKING TO FINISH LEON DIETER OFF! IS ETHAN GOING FOR A POWERBOMB? NO! HE GRABS LEON BY THE SIDES OF THE TIGHTS AND LIFTS HIM EVEN HIGHER! LOOK AT THE ELEVATION! AT THE HEIGHT, HE MIGHT BE IN A DIFFERENT ZIP CODE!
Persephone: Will you calm your dumbass down? Leon is like ten feet in the air. He’s not climbing mountains so calm down. But I wonder what the hell he thinks he’s doing? Just finish the guy off. This is not high school, so there is no need to give the idiot a wedgie before you beat him. Just end this match for my sake and I think the muscle head might have a brain because he just planted him.
James Peters: HOLY SHIT! THAT’S THE FALL OF MAN! ELEVATED SITOUT POWERBOMB CONNECTS AND BOY DID IT CONNECT! LEON GOT SOME HANGTIME BEFORE CRASHING DOWN TO THE MAT! DID YOU SEE LEON’S HEAD CRASH AGAINST THE MAT ON THE LANDING? DID THE FALL OF MAN LEAD TO THE FALL OF LEON DIETER? ETHAN STACKS HIM UP FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Twenty One” starts playing again as Ethan gets off of Leon as the referee tries to raise his arm in victory, but Ethan quickly pulls away and looks at the referee in disgust as the crowd loudly boos this young rookie.)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner! ETHAN ALEXANDER!
James Peters: What a match between two of Voltage’s young stars. They both fought hard, but it was the overwhelming strength of Ethan Alexander that led him to winning this match. It probably isn’t the best thing to say, but this can be considered a small upset given the experience difference between the two.
Persephone: Yeah yeah. Good for him he won his first match in EAW. Whoop de do. He has a long way to go before he reaches Rex McAllister level and even then he won’t be number one in my books.
(Before leaving the ring, Ethan drops down and does some push ups on the mat using his fallen opponent as a placeholder for his hands. The crowd is booing even louder towards Ethan with the show of disrespect he just showed to Leon.)
Rich Russillo: Come on, that is completely unnecessary. You beat him. That’s enough. There is no need to showboat. Go ahead and leave the ring. Even though he has a lot of arrogance, Ethan Alexander showed that he does have a lot of promise to make it big here on Voltage. Time will tell.
(Ethan finally rolls out of the ring and starts heading up the entrance ramp telling everybody that he is one of the strongest people in EAW as he smirks towards the ring at Leon. The fans really don’t care to hear it as they continue to boo him.)
James Peters: I agree with what you said earlier, Rich. This young man has no modesty and no humility. He believes his hype. But you can’t ignore the effort that Leon Dieter showed in this match. He fought against a size and strength disadvantage and almost had the victory on a few occasions, but it just wasn’t enough. He keeps getting better here in EAW and it’s only a matter of time before he achieves that momentum starting victory.
(The final shot shows Ethan standing at the top of the entrance ramp once again flexing his superiority and strength to everybody as Leon sits up in the center of the ring glaring at Ethan as the scene fades elsewhere.)
(Voltage cuts to a commercial for EAW 2k22, promoting the Rising Stars DLC.)
(“Loser” by Charles Hamilton plays out to the crowd and there is a massive pop of cheers for Danny Tanner, as he slowly walks out to the stage with what seemed to be a focused eyesight…but everything else was nothing but that. His hands and legs were shaking like spaghetti, he was sweating buckets and it looked like the paper that he held would fall at any moment.)
(He stepped in the middle and tried to take deep breaths, looking over at the paper for a moment to end up noticing he had it upside down, quickly flipping it back to normal in a panic before clearing up his throat, the roaring cheers from the crowd continued for Danny as he tried to calm them down.)
Danny Tanner: H-Hey! It is great to see you all too, but please calm down, I actually have an important announcement to make that I am sure everybody will be pleased to hear. Everybody knows what happened, my poor bestie Candice was brutalized by a man by the name of Jon Kelton and the world fell into pure silence as she vanished away never to be seen again, as everyone wondered if she would ever come back, wow, this message is very somber…oh wait, the paper continues on the back-UH, UNTIL NOW! Join us today as the singer, model, top 25 Activists under 30 and professional wrestler makes her grand return today, and right now, with a special song.
(Danny made sure there wasn’t anything else on the paper before he took a step back and what seemed to be the sounds of an orchestra played on the speakers as the titantron flared on to show Ukraine’s flag on the middle as Candice Blair calmly stepped out to the stage with a microphone on her hand, and of course, she started to sing.)
🎵 The glory and freedom of Ukraine has not yet perished 🎵
🎵 Luck will still smile on us brother-Ukrainians. 🎵
🎵 Our enemies will die, as the dew does in the sunshine, 🎵
🎵 and we, too, brothers, we’ll live happily in our land. 🎵
(She calmly walked until she reached the center of the stage, showing the bright blue and yellow dress she was wearing as she sang out the anthem of Ukraine.)
🎵 We’ll not spare either our souls or bodies to get freedom 🎵
🎵 and we’ll prove that we brothers are of Kozak kin. 🎵
(She repeated the lines of the anthem a few more times before on the last line she reached a high note that seemed to wow the crowd until the music died down and there was a standing ovation from the people in attendance.)
James Peters: That was beautiful. :mjcry:
Rich Russillo: Yeah. :mjcry:
Persephone: I am not the kind of person to make my type of comments about the situation of the world we are experiencing, I know how to control myself when I need to…but man, couldn’t she have just done a speech? :noah:
(Candice stood in silence as she waved to a few of the people in the crowd and a small melancholic smile appeared on her face while she began to speak up to the crowd.)
Candice Blair: I’ll admit that I am the type of woman that likes to keep herself busy, with balancing Social Media, Singing, Modeling, Professional Wrestling, I’ll always put the firstmost of importance to my contributions as an Activist, to be able to help out the world and its people. Right now we are in a delicate situation where the simple act of war could collapse our entire lives, and we can’t let that happen. The meaning of war should stay far behind in the history books because we have grown as a society, we have grown to the point that we don’t need to use destruction to solve our problems, let’s not repeat the horrible aspects of history in this day and age. My heart and condolences go out to all the innocent civilians of Ukraine who passed away in this tragic incident and the valiant soldiers fighting for their country.
…
Candice Blair: But right now, we need to stay strong heading into what’s next, let’s turn that frown upside down because I stand here once more! I…am…
✨ BAAACKKKKKKKK!!! ✨
(The crowd cheered incredibly loudly to Candice’s speech as Danny stood off to the side, still very nervous but letting out a small smile to see his bestie all healed up again.)
Candice Blair: You all CAN’T imagine how hard the past few weeks for me, where that prick named Jon Kelton injured my larynx and even broke one of my ribs, but the worst part is that I actually had to stay still and rest after a long time, it was one of the weirdest feelings ever. It felt so heartbreaking not being able to speak nor sing, I couldn’t socialize with anybody, I couldn’t shout good morning every day anymore to my beautiful neighbor living next to me and the album I was planning for this year HAD TO BE PUSHED BACK! Nothing was going right for Candice Blair Ava, until finally, on one fateful cold night, when I got a late night snack along with a sip of my Pumpkin Spiced Latte…My voice finally came back! It was a miracle! One blessed by all the angels up in heaven, I received the Miracle Pumpkin Spiced Latte that brought my voice back!…Well, it came back mostly because of all the rest and small vocal exercises I had to take but I firmly believe that Latte was the crucial turning point. 😌
Candice Blair: And now I stand here once more in front of all of you with…sadly no vengeance just yet, even though my larynx might be healed enough for me to speak, my rib that was broken still needs a bit more time to heal up so sadly, I won’t be able to get back in the ring and show who Candice Blair really is to Kelton, but hey, that is why we have the man of the hour right here!
(The crowd cheered for Danny Tanner as he stood there slightly surprised, pointing at himself in a confused manner.)
Candice Blair: Yes, of course I am talking about you bestie! I have said my own piece about Kelton, he was just someone who was at the right place at the right time to take advantage of an off Amir Yusuf, he was so hurt by the truth that he proceeded to attack me in a fit of rage and injure me 🙄 He screamed out every Friday wanting competition and when I arrive to step up to him, he backed out in fear, what irony. But there is no need to worry anymore as #Dandice comes back together and my bestie becomes the New Breed Champion at Reckless Wiring :blessed: I trust Danny to do it, I have said various times how he is the perfect person to go the distance and take away that New Breed Championship, he has proved himself various times in that ring against established Elitists and he deserves all the praise given to him. So now, let’s hear from him!
(Danny’s eyes widened in surprise when he heard Candice giving him the spotlight here, he tried to find anything else in that paper that could help him out but Candice suddenly grabbed the paper and threw it to the side as she whispered to Danny.)
Candice Blair (off-mic): You don’t need a paper for this part, I know how nervous you get when you are in these types of situations when you have to talk but it isn’t that hard…just let your heart do the talking, I know you will do great!
(Danny seemed to calm down as Candice reassured him that he would do great, he grasped the microphone in his hand and stood silent, it was the first time he properly addressed the audience all by himself and it felt like millions of butterflies were inside of his stomach but he finally stepped up and began talking.)
Danny Tanner: I-It is truly an unreal moment for me to stand here in front of you, I genuinely never thought in a million years I would be able to achieve an opportunity like this, where I am this close to achieving a championship. I heard the warnings Mr…no, someone like you doesn’t deserve that I address you formally like that. Jon Kelton, I heard the various warnings that you gave me, of what would happen if I stepped up to you, but I didn’t listen. I am not really someone who is considered to take good advice but this time I had a genuine reason for doing that. If you didn’t hate me on a personal level why did you attack Candice like that? If you didn’t hate Candice either on a personal level, why did you injure her like that? It simply proved right my bestie, that you were scared when someone like her stepped up, so you took her out…You made it personal as soon as you injured someone I consider a friend.
Danny Tanner: And now you stand there completely confident because you are fighting Danny Tanner this time, and…you are simply making the same mistake that everyone else did with me, like a villain suddenly getting rebooted in a show and forgetting all their character development, you are underestimating me just like everybody else did…but still, I don’t need another check of reality, I am one of the biggest losers in the whole entire world but one of the happiest because of someone like Candice, I won’t deny that I am fighting for Candice in this instance, to be able to avenge what was done to her but also to not let her down because she is the one who believed me, the one who pushed me just a little bit further, we are like Kagome and Inuyasha! Only…she is Inuyasha and I am Kagome, two completely different people but they united as one and pushed themselves to be better that way.
Danny Tanner: I am used to having the name Loser associated with me but you can’t run away so easily with you using it, because it isn’t fair when you have lost various times as well Kelton, you have suffered various setbacks until you reached your crowning moment, the one most known being when you lost the 24/7 Contract, so you can’t call me a loser when you have lost too, it simply makes you an…asshole! You are an asshole for doing that, for attacking my bestie, for not taking me seriously at first! The cold harsh reality might be that I won’t win, but with Candice believing in me…with the people in the crowd believing in me…reality won’t be so cruel for me, only for the man who lost his championship to a Loser!
(Danny threw the microphone down to the ground for the coolness factor as the crowd showered him with support, a bit of a shocked expression to see people actually liked his speech.)
Rich Russillo: What a message sent here tonight!
James Peters: This a crucial point in Danny’s career, he sacrificed an opportunity to his friend and even though it is heartbreaking that Candice’s injury prevents her from competing, I believe the world is giving him back after his selfless act and giving him what he deserves after all his hard work.
Persephone: Out of all people, I would not want to see the virgin be a champion, but seeing people lose their absolute shit when they lose to him is always hilarious to see so I have no complaints.
(Candice put a hand on Danny’s arm that made him break into a nervous sweat but then she raises up his arm triumphantly towards the crowd while the show fades away.)
(Voltage cuts to a commercial promoting Matt Reeves’ the Batman, in theaters now.)
(The camera opens up to two giant portraits, one of Miku Sakai, and one of HIkari Kanno, both lit up by spotlights. The camera zooms on the one of Hikari, and then transitions to zooming in on Miku Sakai. The hard camera pans back and we see a few simps for IDOL-GUN standing in the ring. They all have classic simp glasses, unwashed greasy ponytails, and stains all over their shirts. They’re a disgusting sight to see to say the least. The one known as Terrance is first to speak.)
Terrance: Tonight, is a special occasion. Tonight, we celebrate the two greatest gifts bestowed onto humanity in the entirety of its existence. They are the reasons to get up in the morning and fill air into our lungs. You could even say that they are the air that fills our lungs, for, without them, we would be nothing. They can do no wrong, and we all should dedicate our lives to them, and their existence and make sure nothing ever is to harm them. I of course speak of, IDOL-GUN. The two greatest human beings somehow found each other in this dark, cruel world, and chased a dream together. Tonight, we celebrate the Queens of EAW!
Gilbert: I think I speak for everyone when I say, they are the reason that the tissue business stays alive. They are the reason, that my clothes are all crusty, and although it is awkward to try and convince my mother that it is just sweat, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Their faces are adorable. Their skills are unmatched. Their existence, is unparalleled, and I think I speak for everyone when I say, they can do no wrong. We know our favorites do nothing but try their best because they care about all of us so much. They are the wind beneath our wings, the wind in our sails, the only things that is keeping us from killing ourselves… Our dearest tag teams, that live in our hearts forever… IDOL-GUN!
Eugene: I am new to the simp scene, but I can assure you that I have been welcomed with open arms. IDOL-GUN is as advertised, and they do not disappoint. Sure, their OnlyFans cost $20 a month, but it is worth it. They give me the illusion that I actually have a relationship with them, and with that I have had dozens of dreams of losing my virginity due to their thoughtfulness. I would rather have a million wet dreams to IDOL-GUN than actually lose my virginity EVER! But this isn’t about me and my forever virginity, NO! This is about IDOL-GUN. This past weekend at Shock Value, we saw Hikari Kanno give one of the greatest efforts any of us will ever see in our lifetimes. And we saw Miku Sakai, finally shut up that little drug-addicted RAT! Becca Black. But we want to congratulate them in person, so without further adieu, ladies and gentlemen please welcome to the ring.. IDOL-GUN!
(“The Day” by Porno Graffiti plays as Hikari Kanno, and Miku Sakai make their way to the ring by horse-drawn carriage, like true Queens. As the horse gets down to the ring, the two members of IDOL-GUN hop out of the carriage and make their way to the ring. But before Miku gets in, she stops, and with the fakest smile, takes out a carrot and feeds the horse. Clearly doing this for publicity, before rolling into the ring. Gilbert and Eugene bend at the knee and give IDOL-GUN their own respective microphones)
Miku Sakai: You freaks make everything so fucking weird, get out of the ring now. I mean what the fuck is this shit?
(Miku points at the portraits)
Terrance: Do you like them? I spent weeks painting them myself!
(Miku spits in Terrance’s face)
Miku Sakai: FUCK YOU! You made it look like we’re fucking dead you fucktard. What did you think we would be happy about this?
Hikari Kanno: Miku, I am so disappointed in our simps tonight. I thought they loved us with all their hearts and were devoted to us, but this abysmal display… I’m really starting to rethink all this. Is our constant love for our simps not enough? The low rate of our OnlyFans? The content on our OnlyFans? The fact we acknowledge your existence as simps… What else could you want from us? Are we bad idols, Miku?
Miku Sakai: Fuck, we just might be…
Eugene, Terrance, and Gilbert: NOOOOO! WE LOVE YOU YOU’RE THE BEST!! WE ARE NOT WORTHY QUEENS!
Hikari Kanno: Then act like it you pieces of shit. This is disgusting! We’re willing to give you another chance, but holy shit, you better bring it next time or we will make sure you are blocked in every facet on the internet. You will never get the chance, to see us, or give us money ever again!
Eugene, Terrance, Gilbert: NOOOOOOO OMG WE’RE SO SORRY!
Miku Sakai: You heard her.. FUCK OFF!
(The simps start bawling as they run out of the ring in the most unathletic way you’ve ever seen in your life. Arms flailing, legs flailing, they’ve seriously never done a physical activity in their life.)
Miku Sakai: Well, now that those freaks are gone, we can get down to what we were here to discuss in the beginning.
Hikari Kanno: What would that be Miku?
Miku Sakai: Oh you know…
Miku and Hikari: US!
Hikari Kanno: And what better thing to talk about, than where IDOL-GUN is headed. Pain for Pride season is coming up, as a matter of fact, I think we’re on a collision course toward it as we speak. We just wanted all of you to make sure you knew, what was on our minds.
Miku Sakai: I for one believe, that you stupid motherfuckers think that we fell off. I mean did you hear the way that dead cunt that I murdered at Shock Value was talking to me? She said that I fell off because of 2 matches! 2!!! And now she thinks she can just say whatever the fuck she feels like, because that’s normal.
Hikari Kanno: And I know it didn’t go exactly as I wanted against Mr. DEDEDE but it was quite the performance if I do say so myself. There’s more to wrestling than wins, and losses, and I proved that. But by all means, doubt us, think that we fell off because that’s the narrative that everyone is going to try and push these days. A lot of rookies head into their second year, and fall into Sophomore Slumps, but that won’t be us. We are putting everyone on our radar, and if we see you slipping, we’re going to pick you off one by one. What is it exactly we have our sights on.. Oooh we’ll never tell. Because if we did that, where is the mystery, you know? We’re just going to be hanging around, until BOOM! We stamp our flag into some inconspicuous individual.. OR two! Who really knows?
Miku Sakai: The details are scant at this point but don’t you worry, everything will fall into place soon enough. I know you all just want to see our beautiful faces on our television screens, and I can assure you, that will continue to happen. We aren’t going anywhere, and as a matter of fact, you might be seeing a whole lot more of us than you even realize! We started last year winning the Unified Tag Team Champions, but where do we stop? We don’t. We continue to build and build, and soon enough you will see IDOL-GUN as an empire that is impossible to knock down. Sure, you could say that we’re already somewhat of an empire already, but there are always ways to build your brand.
Hikari Kanno: Simply put, IDOL-GUN is taking over this whole operation, and if you think you’re safe, you’re not. No one knows what we’re up to, but as we always say, we always have a plan. Even if plan A doesn’t work out, there’s always a plan B, a Plan C, and so on and so forth. At the end of the day we are businesswomen, and we know how to create a buzz. So strap in ladies and gentlemen, because this is about to be the year of IDOL-GUN.
(“The Day” by Porno Graffitti starts playing again, as Miku goes and holds the rope down for Hikari, and as Hikari steps out of the ring, she holds the rope down for Miku. The two members of IDOL-GUN then jump down to the floor, and back into their carriage as they take their leave.)
James Peters: Though a little vague I think we can say that they made their intentions clear! IDOL-GUN is on the prowl of some sort, and I think the Voltage roster should be scared to say the least! I don’t think they’re happy about the way people have been talking about them, and they are going to do something about it.
Persephone: Holy shit that was fucking pointless! Can I get those minutes of my life back, please! GOD DAMN IT THEIR FUCKING HORSE SHIT EVERYWHERE! WHY DID THEY COME OUT HERE ON A HORSE! IT’S SO IMPRACTICAL! THEY DIDN’T EVEN SAY ANYTHING!
Rich Russillo: Sure they did Persephone! They said that everyone is on their radar, and everyone should be worried about that!
Persephone: WHO? AND WHAT? AND WHY? That didn’t answer anything. What do you think that you two fucking idiots should be worried? Since everyone should be worried, how about you and James huh?! HUH?!! Is IDOL-GUN going to take over the commentary booth? Is that what they want? Yeah, yeah, you don’t know shit, shut the fuck up.
James Peters: Be that as it may, they do seem confident, and focused… On the details of what they’re focused in on, not positive. But I’m sure they will make their intentions quite clear soon enough! We’ll be right back from these commercial breaks!
(Voltage cuts to a commercial promoting Moon Knight, coming to Disney+ on March 30th.)
(Sunday Night Voltage fades back into the ring as the camera focuses on Bella Braxton who is seen standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand as she gets ready to announce the next match!)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Legacy’ by Eminem begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as the camera goes from the ring to the stage to show Ruler beginning to make his way out from the backstage area. There is an expression of complete and utter despondency on his face as he looks around at the crowd who are, for the most part, teetering on the line between support and negativity towards him. He then looks towards the ring as he begins to make his way down the ramp from there.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… from The Reserved… weighing in at 235 pounds… THE MONARCH OF AGONY… RULER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Ruler is someone who hasn’t wasted anytime making himself known and his intentions clear. He started off on the Showdown brand where he got a victory over Victor Blade, before finding himself on his home for the Season and that is here on Sunday Night Voltage. Now he looks to make a statement here as well as he finds himself back in singles competition.
James Peters: Ruler has been vocal this week about this match and is stepping into this ring just as, if not even more, motivated as he was the previous week. There is a lot of potential for someone like Ruler and now he’s stepping forward to add another victory to his record here in Elite Answers Wrestling.
Persephone: You know, it’s odd, I swear I’ve seen like three people that look like him come and go in this company. It’s so odd… but eh, it’s not like I care anyway. They were shit, he was shit, I guess that’s the end of the story.
(Ruler makes his way around the ring before heading up the steel steps and finding himself on the apron. He slowly makes his way towards the epicenter before entering into the ring. From there, he instantly makes his way towards his corner as he turns around and sits against the bottom turnbuckle. He patiently waits for his opponent as ‘Legacy’ begins to come to a close from there and he looks towards the stage.)
(‘Bussin’ by Nicki Minaj & Lil Baby begins to overtake the speakers as the crowd erupts into a choir of cheers and boos upon seeing Diamond Dixon begin to strut out from the backstage area. She has an arrogant expression on her face as she presses her hands against her hair and looks towards the camera, blowing a kiss towards it and taking a twirl. She then turns her attention over to the ring, her smirk growing even larger as she makes her way down the ramp from there.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent… from Houston, Texas… weighing in at 176 pounds… THE CROWN JEWEL… DIAMOND DIXON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: As for Diamond she’s only been here for a short time but in the process has made one hell of an impression on the EAW Universe. When she’s not in the ring she’s on her talk show The Diamond District where she spills the tea when it comes to the biggest feuds going on in the Land of Elite. She hasn’t been short on appearances and I’m sure she loves every second of it.
Persephone: Don’t EVER say “spilling the tea” AGAIN. That was fucking disgusting.
James Peters: Now she’s back for her second match where she looks to get another victory in her possession. The last time we saw her in the ring she beat an impressive foe in the form of Becca Black and now she looks to ride that wave of momentum here tonight!
(Diamond makes her way around the ring before jumping up onto the apron. She then makes her way into the ring before climbing up to the top rope and spreading her arms out pompously. From there, she drops down and makes her way towards her corner, taking off her extravagant coat and getting ready for her match as ‘Bussin’ comes to a close and the referee from there begins to signal for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Here we go as this match is officially underway here tonight! Both of these Elitists have been very vocal about tonight and now they get to settle the score in the ring. Which is exactly what is planned as both Diamond Dixon and Ruler begin to make their way out of their respective corners. They dont waste anytime making their way towards one another… before engaging in a collar-and-elbow tie up-
James Peters: BUT RULER STEPS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A KNEE STRIKE TOWARDS THE ABDOMEN OF DIAMOND! Ruler isn’t looking to play around, making sure that he has the advantage early in the match while Diamond stumbles backward. She sets her sights back on Ruler… ONLY TO BE MET WITH A VICIOUS RIGHT HAND WHICH DROPS HER DOWN TO A KNEE! Ruler from there turns around and runs to the ropes and back… BEFORE GOING FOR A BOOT TO THE HEAD TO FULLY TAKE HER DOWN!
Rich Russillo: BUT DIAMOND DUCKS UNDER BEFORE GRABBING HIS LEG AND PULLING IT OUT FROM UNDER HIM! Diamond fixes her hair with disgust on her face before grabbing Ruler by his own hair and tugs him upward, before reeling her arm back and sending a sharp forearm strike towards his face which leaves him reeling! From there, Diamond grabs Ruler by the arm and sends him towards the ropes with an Irish whip, waiting for him to rebound back towards her… BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND SLAMMING HIM DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS WITH A SPINEBUSTER!
Persephone: :yikes: He just got manhandled with that move, couldn’t be me. Diamond Dixon isn’t even good at hosting her own talk show yet here she is thinking she can do any better in the ring, if you’re getting the shit beat out of her then clearly you’re doing something wrong and you shouldn’t even consider quitting your second job.
Rich Russillo: Diamond with a scowl on her face grabs Ruler before bringing him up to his feet, and grabbing him by the arm this time sending him towards the corner! But before that can happen Ruler manages to shift his weight down to his feet to keep himself static! Diamond tries her best to pull him, but it’s Ruler that manages to turn the tides by pulling her in instead and nailing her right against the face with a forearm! Ruler from there, GRABS DIAMOND BY THE HEAD BEFORE THROWING HER INTO THE CORNER SLAMMING HER SPINE AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING! Ruler isn’t done… STEPPING BACK BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND SENDING A KNEE TO HER ABDOMEN THIS TIME!
James Peters: Ruler now making his way towards Diamond before grabbing her by the head and throwing her down towards the center of the ring! From there Ruler turns around and begins to make his way up to the top rope. I think he might be going for something big while he has the chance with Diamond slowly beginning to rise back up to her feet. Ruler measuring his trajectory… BEFORE LEAPING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND GOING FOR A DIVING CLOTHESLINE TO NAIL DIAMOND DIXON AND TAKE HER BACK DOWN BEFORE SHE CAN EVEN GET HER BEARINGS- but Diamond manages to move out of the way just in time leaving Ruler to take a hard tumble down to the ground! Diamond falls against the ropes while Ruler scrambles up to his feet, RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A DESPERATION CLOTHESLINE TO SEND HER OVER THE TOP ROPE- BUT BEFORE THAT CAN CONNECT IT’S DIAMOND THAT GOES UNDER AND WRAPS HER ARMS AROUND HIS WAIST BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A STUN GUN!
Persephone: Yikes, I’m surprised that move didn’t end up decapitating him. Shit, I’m a bit bummed out that it didn’t decapitate him either… but I’m not surprised about that fact. It is Sunday Night Voltage, and Voltage always does find a way to let me down :wow:.
Rich Russillo: Ruler’s throat is dropped onto the ropes as he bounces off and finds himself staggering on both feet. Before long it’s Diamond that turns around and runs to the ropes and back… BEFORE GRABBING RULER BY THE HEAD AND NAILS HIM WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG! DIAMOND ROLLING RULER ONTO HIS BACK AND PINNING HIS SHOULDERS TO THE MAT! EARLY PIN ATTEMPT! WILL THIS BE IT?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
James Peters: BUT RULER KICKS OUT BEFORE THE REFEREE CAN GET TO TWO! Diamond doesn’t give Ruler a chance to even breathe though as she clutches onto his head before cinching in a headlock! Diamond is trying to bring this to the ground but the best she can do right now is keep Ruler in a seated position as he struggles to find a way to get out! Diamond has the hold locked in tight and while I doubt it’s going to be the game-ender of this match it’s definitely going to inflict some damage on Ruler which will weaken him and make this an unpleasant match to push through! But right now I don’t think Ruler really plans on staying in this hold, as he manages to plant one of his feet on the ground using it as leverage to push himself up to his feet! If he manages to get up to his feet it would be a cakewalk to escape out of the hold, which is why Diamond is making sure that doesn’t happen by dropping as much of her weight as she can so she can prevent him from making his escape!
Persephone: Yawn, can you at least do a proper submission hold and not that generic bullshit that everyone uses and it ends up never being effective. Like, I don’t like that pure technical whatever-the-fuck-it’s-called stuff, but c’mon at least add a little spice to it if you want to keep me invested in some capacity.
Rich Russillo: Diamond’s plan certainly isn’t going how she expected though as Ruler manages to get himself up onto two feet, bringing his elbow forward before ramming it into the side of Diamond! Diamond gives a groan of pain but that definitely isn’t enough as now it’s Ruler that begins to tee off with repeated elbow strikes towards the abdomen in hopes of at least loosening the hold so he can slip out of it! Which is what happens as Diamond is forced to step back and let go of the hold as Ruler shoots towards the ropes like a loose cannon and runs them while Diamond is momentarily stunned…
James Peters: ONLY TO BE MET WITH A BUSAIKU RUNNING KNEE STRIKE COURTESY OF RULER! DIAMOND IS DOWN AND OUT WHILE RULER ROLLS HER ONTO HER BACK AND PINS HER SHOULDERS TO THE MAT! THE REFEREE SLIDES DOWN AND BEGINS TO COUNT THE PIN RIGHT HERE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTHHH-
Persephone: Sadly, that’s not going to be enough to keep that stupid bitch down. Which shows how unreliable Ruler is in ending my misery and making sure this match comes to an end. Something that is odd considering he did the same thing to his father.
Rich Russillo: :roman: Well I wouldn’t talk about one of our Elitists murdering someone, wouldn’t want to get an arrest warrant on one of us like Gavin Kirkland.
Persephone: Shut the fuck up Rachel.
Rich Russillo: Sorry, anyway back to the action. Ruler clearly looks exhausted at the moment but not enough to deter his momentum as he gets back up to his feet and circles around the ring, allowing himself a moment to catch his breath while he patiently waits for Diamond Dixon to get back up to her feet. Diamond manages to get herself up to a seated position, but that doesn’t last very long as Ruler steps forward and sends a kick towards her abdomen! From there Ruler runs to the ropes and back, taking the opportunity while he can with Diamond down on the ground, LAUNCHING INTO THE AIR AND LOOKING TO CRUSH HER WITH A SENTON THAT RATTLES THE RING!
James Peters: But before that can happen it’s Diamond that manages to roll out of the way just in time before she can encounter any more trouble! Ruler crashes down hard on the canvas while Diamond keeps rolling and drops down to the ringside area creating distance between her and Ruler so she can collect herself. Ruler stumbles back up to his feet before heading over to the edge of the ring, bringing his head through the ropes before grabbing the head of Diamond looking to bring her back into the ring-
Rich Russillo: BUT IT’S DIAMOND THAT SENDS A HARD RIGHT TO THE FACE OF RULER WHICH SENDS HIM BACKWARD AND DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION BACK INSIDE THE RING! Diamond from there slides into the ring before calibrating her trajectory… AND CONNECTING WITH A PENALTY KICK TO THE CHEST OF RULER WHICH DROPS HIM BACK DOWN TO THE MAT! Diamond isn’t done as she grabs the head of Ruler and tugs him back up to his feet… BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH AN EMPHATIC SUPLEX!
Persephone: I’m sorry, did you just say “calibrating her trajectory” in the middle of your sentence? You have got to be the biggest nerd I’ve ever seen…
James Peters: Ruler is clutching his spine in pain as he slowly begins to get back up to his feet, ONLY FOR DIAMOND TO PULL HIM IN AND DROP HIM DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD WITH A DDT! Ruler isn’t staying down, beginning to get back up once again trying his best to fight through the pain that he has to be going through right now… BUT WHAT HE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO FIGHT OUT OF IS THE SPEAR THAT’S COMING AT HIM AT 100 MILES PER HOUR COURTESY OF DIAMOND DIXON!
Rich Russillo: BUT BEFORE THAT CAN HAPPEN RULER RUNS FORWARD AND BEATS HER TO THE PUNCH CONNECTING WITH A KNEE TO THE HEAD MID-SPEAR WHICH DROPS DIAMOND DOWN ON THE GROUND! Ruler looking to go for something big right now while Diamond staggers up to her feet… RULER RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK BEFORE LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH ‘WILL OF NICHOLAS!’ EVENFLOW DDT TO SPIKE DIAMOND’S HEAD ONTO THE CANVAS!
James Peters: BUT DIAMOND DIXON USES THE MOMENTUM TO POP RULER UP ONTO HER SHOULDERS BEFORE SLAMMING HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A BRUTAL POWERBOMB! RULER IS DOWN WHILE DIAMOND DROPS DOWN AS WELL PINNING HIS SHOULDERS DOWN TO THE MAT! COULD THIS BE IT RIGHT HERE?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREE-
Rich Russillo: BUT RULER IS NOT GIVING UP YET! HE IS SHOWING A WILL BEYOND ANYONE ELSE AS HE MANAGES TO GET HIS SHOULDERS OFF OF THE MAT BEFORE THE THREE COUNT CAN FINISH!
Persephone: Why are you guys always so happy about this? I am in constant suffering and there is absolutely no end. Just when I think a match is over, nope, it actually isn’t. Instead, so-and-so kicks out of this-and-that and every time that happens… I die inside.
James Peters: Ruler clutches onto the bottom rope, pulling himself towards them while Diamond seems to be building up frustration as she gets back up to her feet. It’s clear that she needs to do more but the question is how much leeway will she have before Ruler once again pushes in and turns the tables on her? Diamond turns around and grabs the head of Ruler before bringing him back up to his feet-
Rich Russillo: But before anything can happen it’s Ruler that manages to break through before sending a well-placed uppercut towards the jaw of Diamond Dixon! Diamond stumbles back, BEFORE REELING HER ARM BACK AND GOING FOR A WILD SWING TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT- but it’s Ruler that manages to use his boot to kick the inside of Diamond’s arm forcing her backward! Diamond is stunned, but runs forward attempting to take Ruler down… ONLY TO BE MET WITH RULER SETTING DIAMOND UP BEFORE TAKING HER DOWN WITH A SPINNING ELBOW STRIKE TO THE FACE WHICH CERTAINLY DOES WHAT IT’S INTENDED TO DO!
James Peters: Ruler grabbing Diamond by the head and tugging her up to her feet before pushing her up against the corner, connecting with a forearm strike to the face which stuns her briefly! This is sure to give Ruler the opportunity to turn around and make his way towards the opposite corner, getting a running start… BEFORE CONNECTING A RUNNING CORNER CLOTHESLINE TOWARDS THE HEAD OF DIAMOND DIXON! It connects as Ruler from there grabs a hold of her by the head and turns around, BEFORE TRANSITIONING THE CLOTHESLINE INTO A BULLDOG ATTEMPT!
Rich Russillo: BUT DIAMOND MANAGES TO KEEP RULER INTO THE AIR BEFORE POPPING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND LEAVING HIM TO TAKE A HARD CRASH DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Once again some absolutely unreal strength being shown by Diamond in this matchup as she begins to make her way over to Ruler- BUT BEFORE THAT CAN HAPPEN IT’S RULER THAT BRINGS HIS LEG UP ON THE GROUND AND SENDS A KICK TO HER FACE! Diamond stumbles back giving Ruler a chance to get back up to his feet, SPINNING AROUND AND GOING FOR A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD OF DIAMOND DIXON!
Rich Russillo: BUT DIAMOND DUCKS UNDER THE CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT BEFORE GRABBING RULER BY THE HEAD FROM BEHIND AND DROPPING HIM DOWN INTO A SLEEPER SLAM! Diamond isn’t done running to the ropes and back while Ruler is still feeling the hurt from that previous move, ONLY GETTING THAT PAIN AMPLIFIED WITH DIAMOND LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND DROPPING DOWN A BRUTAL LEG DROP ONTO HIS HEAD! Ruler clutches at his head while slowly rising up to his feet, and I don’t think he understands what Diamond has in store for him…
James Peters: DIAMOND GRABBING RULER BY THE HEAD BEFORE GOING FOR ‘FACELIFT!’ THE FACEBUSTER TO FINISH THIS MATCH ONCE AND FOR ALL AND GET ANOTHER VICTORY UNDER HER BELT!
Rich Russillo: BUT IT’S RULER THAT MANAGES TO SEND A BOOT TOWARDS THE ABDOMEN OF DIAMOND WHICH FORCES HER TO LET GO OF HIM! Diamond steps back, GIVING RULER THE CHANCE TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A DROPKICK TOWARDS HER CHEST! Diamond stumbles back against the ropes, but uses that momentum to rebound off of them and run forward- ONLY FOR RULER TO GRAB HER BY HER WAIST AND LIFT HER UP OFF THE GROUND BEFORE DROPPING HER DOWN INTO AN ATOMIC DROP! RULER KEEPS A HOLD OF HER THOUGH AS HE TRANSITIONS IT INTO A SPINEBUSTER THIS TIME WHICH DROPS DIAMOND!
James Peters: I think Ruler is looking to return the favor right now and do what Diamond was unable to do earlier as he waits patiently for her to get back up to her feet… BEFORE SETTING DIAMOND UP AND GOING FOR ‘BLOODRAYNE MAKER!’ SWINGING REVERSE STO PLANTS DIAMOND DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Persephone: Is Bloodrayne even a word- oh is something happening? Sorry, not like I care, but you people are annoying anyway and you guys are going to yell and shit once she reverses-
Rich Russillo: BUT DIAMOND MANAGES TO UNWIND HERSELF BEFORE GRABBING THE ARM OF RULER AND PULLING HIM INTO A SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE WHICH DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Diamond isn’t done though grabbing Ruler and picking him up… BEFORE TOSSING HIM UP INTO THE AIR AND SENDING HIM TUMBLING DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A VICIOUS BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! THE PRECISION! THE SWIFTNESS!
James Peters: It’s like someone just shot Diamond Dixon with a syringe of adrenaline as she’s back into this match now! Ruler stumbles up to his feet, ONLY TO BE MET WITH A CLOTHESLINE WHICH DROPS HIM BACK DOWN! Diamond now picks Ruler back up to his feet before pushing him against the ropes and sending him towards the opposite side…. BEFORE DIAMOND LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST OF RULER TO DROP HIM DOWN! Diamond is feeling it now as she waits for Ruler to get up so she can set up for another big move in her arsenal…
Rich Russillo: DIAMOND STEPS FORWARD AND CLUTCHES AT RULER BY THE THROAT, BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND GOING FOR A CHOKESLAM!
James Peters: But before that can fully execute its Ruler that shows signs of life by beginning to tee away on the side of Diamond’s head with repeated elbow shots! Diamond is trying her best to lift Ruler up into the air but Ruler is showing his continued persistence and why he simply refuses to stay down in this matchup! IT’S THEN THAT HE GRABS DIAMOND BY THE HEAD BEFORE SENDING A STRAIGHT KNEE SHOT TOWARDS HER ABDOMEN TO FORCE HER DOWN! It’s only then that Ruler steps back and measures up Diamond…
Rich Russillo: BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER BUSAIKU KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE OF DIAMOND WHICH DROPS HER DOWN TO THE GROUND INSTANTLY! THERE IS NO BETTER CHANCE FOR RULER TO WIN THAN THE OPPORTUNITY THAT HE HAS RIGHT NOW AS HE DOESN’T GO FOR THE PIN!
Persephone: Well what am I supposed to do when he doesn’t actually connect with his finisher and this match goes on longer? Cry? Some of these Elitists that Ryan Adams signs to this company are actually mentally capacitated I swear… this is why Veena was always the better Adams and I can only assume how much pain she feels on a day-to-day basis to be associated with a decrepit degraded fool.
James Peters: Ruler crouches down to the level of Diamond Dixon who is still trying to find her way up to her feet as he patiently lies in wait, anxiously awaiting the rise of Diamond back up to her feet as this might just be the chance he needs to finish this match for good! Diamond stumbles up and turns around, I don’t think she sees Ruler waiting for her…
Rich Russillo: RULER LIFTING DIAMOND OFF OF THE GROUND AND GOING FOR ‘MADE IN HEAVEN!’ SPIKE PILEDRIVER!
James Peters: BUT WAIT! DIAMOND DIXON WITH INSANE STRENGTH ONCE AGAIN AS SHE LIFTS HIM UP ABOVE HIS HEAD AND DROPS HIM DOWN WITH A BACK BODY DROP ESQUE MANEUVER! RULER IS DROPPED DOWN TO THE MAT AS DIAMOND GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD AND SETS HIM UP…
Rich Russillo: ‘FACELIFT!’ THE FACEBUSTER PLANTS RULER DOWN TO THE GROUND AS DIAMOND ROLLS RULER OVER ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG! GOING FOR THE PIN! COULD WE BE SEEING THE END OF THIS MATCH RIGHT BEFORE OUR VERY EYES?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Bussin’ begins to blast through the speakers again as the crowd erupts into another mix of cheers and boos in response to Diamond Dixon who finds it in her to pry herself off of the body of Ruler and brings herself up to a knee. The referee makes their way over and helps Diamond up to her feet, who begins to find her bearings and dust herself off arrogantly before having a smirk on her face as she fixes her hair and begins to celebrate her victory tonight on Voltage.)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… DIAMOND DIXON!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: And this match is over! Diamond Dixon comes out with another victory under her belt! It was a hard-fought task especially with someone like Ruler who didn’t relent and refused to give up regardless of what was thrown at him. But in the end the skill that Diamond brought to the table was simply too much for him as after a hellacious match, he finally succumbed.
Rich Russillo: The future is bright for the both of them and they should be proud of their efforts tonight. But Diamond walks away with a second victory under her belt and I’m sure that has to make her feel amazing tonight. What a match, and congratulations to Diamond Dixon on her victory tonight against Ruler!
(Diamond rolls out of the ring and spreads her arms out before beginning to make her way up the ramp. Ruler is seen being checked out by the referee and it’s clear that he’s not the happiest camper right now as he bears a pained expression on his face riddled with disappointment. The last shot seen is Diamond disappearing through the backstage area as it’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage from there begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts backstage towards Sofia Clarke standing backstage, she has a bright smile on her face as she begins talking to the camera.)
Sofia Clarke: Ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure that you are all here with me today as I present to you the EAW Hall of Famer and the Queen of the Nile…Cleopatra!
(Cleopatra walked into camera’s view and the crowd exploded in cheers when seeing the longest EAW Vixen’s Champion appear, there were a few bruises and cuts from the brutal match that she had with Kendra Shamez last week but it didn’t stop her from walking out with a confident smile.)
Sofia Clarke: It is an honor to be able to interview you once more!
Cleopatra: The pleasure is all mine Sofia.
Sofia Clarke: Cleopatra, we all know what happened at Shock Value, you and Kendra Shamez went to war last week and showed why you two are still considered two of the greatest women in EAW history but sadly, you ended up coming short and Kendra was the one who came out victorious, what are your thoughts after what happened?
Cleopatra: I have been in the business long enough to understand that wins will arrive to you, and of course, those wins can be accompanied by losses. I have won various championships across my career but I ended up losing them, and as you said, I sadly wasn’t able to come out victorious against Kendra, and I am not bothered by it at all. What mattered at the end of the day is that I asked for a fight against Kendra and I ended up getting it, that is what genuinely matters to me. I know Kendra and I fought many times in the past and when I came back to Empire in 2018, we didn’t get along well at all, we butted heads a lot with her being one of the authoritative figures in Empire at the time and me as the legend ready to do anything it costed to take back her rightful place.
Cleopatra: But the challenge I brought out to her was from a place of good heart, with EAW celebrating their 15 long years of existence I thought it was the perfect chance to do that, to be able to show that two women from the old generation could still go, and even though we didn’t agree much once more in the build up to our match at Shock Value, we still went out there and created something incredible, brutal and bloody, but still nothing short of the greatness that I am able to pull off. I am not a sore loser, I can give Kendra her flowers, she may have been the better competitor but after the match that we had and what it took for her to keep me down, I have proved that I am still one of the greatest competitors in this company, for it is still perfectly clear that I am still at the top of my game, and I have shown that I haven’t lost a step since the last time I competed on Voltage.
Sofia Clarke: It is genuinely inspiring to hear those positive words from you Cleopatra, but with your match with Kendra Shamez already done, what do you plan to do going forward?
Cleopatra: Well, simple really, I don’t plan to go anywhere this time, my match with Kendra is far from my last. Even though I am mature enough to accept losses that arrive to me, I am never the type of woman to let them define me for who they are, all of the championships and accomplishments defined who Cleopatra really is, I am THE LONGEST REIGNING VIXENS CHAMPION OF ALL TIME and do not let anybody else forget about that, if you think I am going to stay down so easily then you truly don’t know what I am capable of. I am going to keep moving forward, and that it’ll take a lot more than one loss to keep a legend such as herself down-
(Something caught Cleopatra’s eye and she fully stopped talking as she looked to the side. The camera panned to the side as a mixed reaction from the crowd, mostly consisting of boos, was let out when Madison Kaline appeared right in front of Cleopatra, interrupting her interview just like she did when she interrupted hers at Shock Value.)
Madison Kaline: Oh, do not worry at all Cleo, I just thought it was fair that I interrupted your interview since you interrupted mine, simply giving back the favor…you know?
(The two stared at each other for a moment and tension started to raise up in the room, even though they were former allies, it was still 2 years since they last talked to each other and last week at Shock Value, tension rose up just like it did now but it went away in a snap of a finger as the two women suddenly smiled, Madison bearing a grin on her face.)
Madison Kaline: I thought about what you said to me at Shock Value and you weren’t wrong about what you said, even though we haven’t talked in a long time, it was genuinely great to see you once more. The past that we had together can’t be forgotten so easily and I had some of the best moments of my wrestling career alongside you and Amber. You are still one of the best women in the history of EAW, there is no doubt about that, so seeing things didn’t work out too well for you against Kendra is truly tragic, a tragic shame because I know what you can do, I know what you are capable of.
Madison Kaline: When I had some free time, I went through a bit of a nostalgia trip and looked back at my time in Empire, of what we are able to accomplish with the Queen’s Court, and really, you aren’t the only one who had fond memories of that time. You were right on saying that we dominated Empire at that time, and it was for a good reason, once you and Amber came back around you were disrespected, made fun of for wanting to reclaim your spotlight but I was the only one who understood, the one who understood the great knowledge and ability that you two possessed and I arrived to you two for a deal, to form the group known as the Queen’s Court. One of the most dominant groups because we reigned over Empire with an iron first, with me as the Unified Women’s Champion and you and Amber as the Empire Tag Team Champions, we left our own footprint in history, and even though it was great to reminisce about the past…I am not content with living in it.
(Cleopatra seems to understand what Madison means, as Madison has returned to EAW looking to add more to her legacy with a potential Universal Women’s Championship reign.)
Cleopatra: Glad that we could both agree that at the end of the day, the Queens Court’s dominance over Empire a fond experience I can’t forget, but I wasn’t going to stay in the past either and stop wrestling. That is why I tried with Minerva at Clash of Kingdoms 2, and that is why I tried with Kendra at Shock Value, so it makes me relieved as well to see that what you are saying is true. And oh, congratulations on your Shock Value victory! I hope you didn’t lose any screws when going up against Mary.
Madison Kaline: I lost more than I hoped for.
(The two women let out a small laugh in response, the tension that appeared before gone by now.)
Cleopatra: But right now you can’t lose focus on what is next for you, I know that you have a big opportunity at Reckless Wiring against Andrea Valentine and you can’t afford to lose it, I will look forward to seeing how you will do though against the Universal Women’s Champion, if you were able to achieve becoming a champion before, I have no doubt that you will be able to do it again.
(Even though Cleopatra kept up her smile, Madison’s expression got a bit more serious, and there seemed to be a bit of…concern on it too.)
Madison Kaline: Thank you Cleo, but being serious here, what do you actually intend to do going forward? I hope you just don’t sit on the sidelines watching me win the Universal Women’s Championship without a plan for your own future, I definitely know Cleopatra isn’t the type of woman to do that.
(Cleopatra stood in silence as Madison asked her that question, a few seconds passed before Cleopatra’s confident smile appeared again, nobody was sure if she actually had a plan or not for the future, she simply said a few words in response.)
Cleopatra: We will see.
(And with those last words up in the air, Cleopatra turned her back and walked away as Madison stared at her former ally for a few seconds before she walked away too with her usual unyielding confidence, knowing that Cleopatra would be just fine. And just like that, Voltage faded away from backstage.)
(‘Self Help Tape’ by Moses Sumney hits as Voltage fades back to ringside, and the crowd cheers loudly while Voltage’s commissioner Captain Charisma begins to walk out holding a microphone in his hand. Captain Charisma has a smile on his face as he sees all of the cheering fans in the audience, and before long Captain Charisma begins walking down the ramp, making his way down to the ring as the cheering continues.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Commissioner of Sunday Night Voltage, CAPTAIN CHARISMA!!!!!
James Peters: Captain Charisma is here, and it seems like he’s got a special announcement planned for us tonight!
Persephone: :oh: You think he’s finally bringing back Rexy??
James Peters: Who knows?
Rich Russillo: Whatever the announcement is, I’m sure it’s going to be good.
Persephone: Ehhh. Anything besides Rexy returning is pretty lackluster.
(Captain Charisma enters the ring, and as the cheering dies down he begins to speak.)
Captain Charisma: Ladies and gentlemen I hope you’re all enjoying Voltage tonight! There’s been some fantastic matches like Ruler versus Diamond Dixon, Haruka Kashimashi versus McCall Everett, Shane Gates versus Leon Dieter! The Voltage roster has delivered tonight, but what else is to be expected? This show delivers every single week, and we’ve still got so much more planned for you tonight, including a Champion versus Champion Showcase!
(The crowd cheers, excited to see the upcoming match between the EAW World Champion Myles and the National Elite Champion Donovan Duke.)
Captain Charisma: Shock Value was only a week ago, and it was a huge success. We somehow manage to outdo ourselves every single year, and from the looks of it 2022 was no exception. Every match on the show delivered and exceeded all expectations, and now look what the Voltage roster is doing just one week later. This is the best wrestling show on the planet, which is why I have a huge announcement for all of you tonight. An announcement that I’m sure you’re all going to love.
(The crowd quickly quiets back down, eager to hear what Captain Charisma is going to say.)
Captain Charisma: This season has been huge for EAW. With #EAW15, you never know what’s going to happen. You never know who’ll appear. Legends of the past, members of other rosters, and so much more. That’s why on the 24th of April Voltage is going to be holding a special event, one that’s going to blow every other show going on that week out of the water. On April 24th, we will be hosting SUPER VOLTAGE!!!
(Once again, the crowd explodes into cheers.)
Captain Charisma: I’m sure you all have heard a very similar announcement recently coming from Hurricane Hawk, and I’d just like to say that he’s not the only one who believes his brand has the greatest roster. I too will be opening the show up to anyone on any roster willing to step up and prove themselves against some of EAW’s best here on Voltage! Voltage has such an amazing roster, and I’m looking forward to all of the potential matches that can come out of this, just like I’m looking forward to the Voltage roster once again delivering and proving that there is not a single brand in this company that can measure up to us and our greatness! That’s not all though, because there WILL be Championships on the line on Super Voltage! I said that the 24th of April would be special, and I intend to keep that promise! Voltage has some amazing Champions right now, but very soon, that could all change!
(Captain Charisma has a grin on his face as he looks at all of the cheering fans, clearly satisfied with the reaction to the huge announcement.)
James Peters: Super Voltage! This is huge! This has been a major season, and it looks like Captain Charisma is looking to make it even bigger!
Rich Russillo: Not only will Championships be on the line, but we’ll be seeing members from other brands fighting here on Voltage! This is going to be a great show, I just can’t wait!
Persephone: Well this sucks. I thought the announcement would be about Rex. :francis:
Captain Charisma: And let’s not forget, there’s still the Gold-
(‘Zombie’ by Bad Wolves hits to Captain Charisma’s surprise, causing the commissioner to turn to the stage as the crowd explodes into a mixed reaction with most of the crowd cheering. Ms. Extreme walks out with a microphone in her hand, and she’s clearly bandaged up a bit following her match against Cage back at Shock Value one week ago, where Cage would pick up the victory. Ms. Extreme has a smirk on her face despite the result of the match, and she begins to make her way down the ramp and into the ring.)
Persephone: 🙄 Why is she here now? Nobody asked for this!
James Peters: I don’t know what it is Ms. Extreme wants, but it looks like she’s in good spirits following Shock Value! That was a very brutal match against Cage.
Rich Russillo: I have to agree, but then again this is Ms. Extreme we’re talking about. I’m pretty sure she lives for that type of stuff.
(Ms. Extreme enters the ring, but she doesn’t begin to speak straight away. She takes a second to collect her thoughts, leaving Captain Charisma a bit more confused about her interruption.)
Ms. Extreme: Not to interrupt what was going on just a minute ago because I know it was very important, but last week I had one of the biggest matches of my entire career. All I wanted out of all this “#EAW15” shit was to face Cage at Shock Value, and I got that. I got my match with Cage, I got to face him in an Electric Weapons match, I got to beat the shit out of him.. And I lost.
(Captain Charisma doesn’t interrupt, allowing Ms. Extreme to continue.)
Ms. Extreme: It was a hell of a match. All kinds of weapons were used, it was everything I ever wanted.. But after I went for that crossbody, the two of us went through that electric table, and Cage was able to pin me for the three count. I didn’t beat Cage at Shock Value, but in a way I did win. Finally having my dream match, going to Hell and back against Cage in a match where we got to do whatever the fuck we wanted, that’s a win. I came out of that match better than I was before. I came out of it having finally accomplished something I’ve wanted for so long so I don’t give a shit how the match ended. I’m going to move on, and that’s the reason that I’m out here.
(Ms. Extreme turns to Captain Charisma.)
Ms. Extreme: I heard your announcement last week. The one about the Gold Rush tournament. The one that’ll culminate at Grand Rampage. The one that’ll earn you a World Championship opportunity after winning it. I’m just going to get straight to the point, I want a spot in the tournament.
(The crowd explodes into cheers, not expecting such an announcement from Ms. Extreme.)
Ms. Extreme: You know what I’m capable of already so this shouldn’t be an issue. I just broke the record for the Universal Women’s Championship reign a few months ago in one of the most dominant reigns that title has ever seen, and that still wasn’t enough for me. I’m the best in the world and I want to do more. There’s still a lot more that I want to accomplish, and after these past few events I’m not going to let any opportunities to reach the top once again and hold another Championship pass me by. You know that sooner or later the baddest bitch on the block is going to be a World Champion again and get right back to the spot I was in after Pain for Pride last year, and I don’t want to wait until “later” after I just had one of the biggest matches in my entire life at Shock Value. That Gold Rush tournament is the exact kind of opportunity I need to make it back to the World Championship picture and win the EAW Championship for the first time in my career, so put me in the tournament.
(A smile appears on Captain Charisma’s face. The fans would clearly love to see someone as talented as Ms. Extreme compete in the Gold Rush tournament, and Captain Charisma can see that.)
Captain Charisma: The brackets will be revealed in due time, but we all know you’re main event worthy Camille. You had an incredible reign with the Universal Women’s Championship and your match against Cage was phenomenal. You’ve always been such a major part of Voltage, and I don’t think it’d surprise anyone if your name ends up on the bracket.
(The crowd continues cheering, and Ms. Extreme keeps the grin that was on her face.)
Ms. Extreme: Good. When the bracket’s revealed and that Gold Rush tournament starts, I plan on seeing my name included in it, because when this season ends I *will* be World Champion again.
(‘Zombie’ begins to play once again, and Ms. Extreme finally begins to make her way out of the ring as the crowd continues to cheer.)
James Peters: It looks like we know exactly what Ms. Extreme wants now! I don’t know what’s going to happen or if Ms. Extreme will even end up in the tournament, but I think we all know that if she does, she will make it far. She’s one of the most talented Elitists on the entire EAW roster, and it looks like after her record breaking Universal Women’s Championship reign, Ms. Extreme wants more.
Rich Russillo: I’m getting more and more excited for the future of Voltage just hearing about it. We have the Gold Rush tournament coming up, AND we have Super Voltage coming on April 24th! This is huge, and this was all announced within two weeks!
Persephone: As long as Rexy ends up in the bracket, I can forgive all of these other boring announcements. That’s all I want. :will:
James Peters: I don’t know if you’ll get your wish, but I for one can’t wait to see this tournament start, or to see what happens on Super Voltage!
(Ms. Extreme continues to make her way up the ramp as the crowd cheers in support for her, meanwhile Captain Charisma remains in the ring with the grin on his face, clearly enthusiastic about Voltage’s future himself, pleased with the reception of all of his announcements in the past two weeks as he knows that Voltage has a lot of big things coming. From there, Voltage fades away from ringside.)
(Voltage fades to a commercial promoting Reckless Wiring, coming this Saturday.)
(The scene shows Bella Braxton inside the ring, prepared to announce the next match.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL! AND IT IS A SINGLESSSS MATCH!
(The crowd cheers and then quickly boos as “Swallow The Rabbit Whole” by Code Orange blasts throughout the arena. Shane Gates and Kirk Redwood sourly make their way onto the stage and pay no mind to the jeering fans.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! WRESTLING OUT OF HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIAAAA!! WEIGHING IN AT 213 POOUNNDSSSS…ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY HIS TAG TEAM PARTNER, KIRK REDWOOD, SHANEEEEEEE “THE NATURAL BORN KILLERRRRRR” GATEESSSS!!!
Rich Russillo: Shane Gates and his partner were on the losing end of a big tag team bout last weekend, so you know he’s coming into tonight’s match with extra fire in his spirit to go out there and get a win back. Especially over a man who just competed for the EAW World Championship. That win would move mountains for the career of Shane Gates right now and certainly put him back on the right path after his loss at Shock Value!
(Shane Gates rolls into the ring and points his head at the ground. ‘The Only Thing They Fear Is YOU’ by Mick Gordon begins to play as the crowd still remains on a negative note. Ryan Wilson walks onto the stage with purpose, facing the crowd and closing his eyes. Absorbing this reaction as Shane Gates stares at him with evil intent.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT! WEIGHING IN AT 220 POUNDS, WRESTLING OUT OF MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADAAAAAA!!!!! RYANNNNNNN “THE ARCHITECT” WILSONNNNNNN!!!
James Peters: Another man coming fresh off a loss at Shock Value, Ryan Wilson and Chris Elite fell to Myles in the main event of our Free-Per-View as he defended his EAW World Title for the 2nd time. No shame in that loss, but you know Ryan Wilson has a bigger chip on his shoulder now to come out here and prove that he still is one of the best Voltage has to offer. That he can get back on the right path and make his way back to challenging our champion.
Persephone: BS…He’s one of the best at losing the matches that count. He’ll prove that tonight.
(Ryan Wilson rolls in the ring and throws his jacket to the outside.)
DING! DING! DING!
James Peters: And here we go! Ryan Wilson and Shane Gates are live on Voltage! Shane Gates immediately comes out of the corner and tries to trap Ryan Wilson against the turnbuckles, but Wilson circles out and meets the aggressive Gates in the middle with a collar and elbow tie. Shane uses his size to muscle him back as he pushes Ryan into the corner. Ryan slips behind him and takes his back now! Ryan with the bodylock- Gates fires off a big back elbow trying to take Ryan’s head off! Ryan Wilson avoids it and says meet me back in the middle!
Rich Russillo: Ryan Wilson evades a collar and elbow tie attempt and now he locks Shane Gates in a side headlock! He locks him up as Gates tries to shove Wilson against the ropes. Shane forces a break as Ryan hits the ropes and is sent lunging back towards Shane Gates, who throws a big lariat and tries to floor Ryan! Ryan Wilson ducks under it and takes out the legs of Gates, dumping him on the canvas with a double leg takedown!
James Peters: Ryan Wilson now dropping hard shots onto the guarded face of Shane Gates as he tries to avoid this onslaught! MMA Style punches and elbows from Wilson, who tries to slice and batter the face of Shane! Shane is able to shove Ryan off and scurry under the bottom rope! He meets Kirk Redwood on the outside and tries to recover! Ryan Wilson is rolling right now as Kirk urges Shane to take his time and be collected! Ryan says let’s get it! Shane slides into the ring and meets Ryan in the middle, it’s a brawl now!
Rich Russillo:Ryan Wilson lands a hard elbow on the face of Gates! That one sends him barreling into the ropes as he runs towards Ryan with a big boot! Wilson avoids it- BANG! PELE KICK FROM SHANE GATES AS HE FIRES OFF! THE BIG BOOT WAS A DIVERSION, IT HID THE PELE KICK AND THAT LANDED FLUSH ON THE BACK OF RYAN’S HEAD! He’s rocked as Shane Gates now lifts him up, brainbuster position! SHANE HOISTS HIM INTO THE AIR- NO! RYAN WILSON MANAGES TO WRESTLE HIS WAY INTO A SIDE CONTROL POSITION AND NOW TAKES THEM BOTH DOWN WITH A RUSSIAN SWEEP!
Persephone: Seems about right! He couldn’t do anything else but wreck himself right alongside his opponent! That’s Ryan Wilson for ya!
Rich Russillo: I don’t know about that because he’s taking control of the match right now! He grabs Shane Gates by the arms and drags him up- BOOM! A nasty punch right to the nose from Shane! The crowd felt that one! NOW SHANE COMES OFF THE ROPES AND…RYAN HITS HIM WITH A GUN STUN! A GUN STUN TO GATES AS HE TRIED TO GO BACK TO THE WELL ONE TOO MANY TIMES! HE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AND KIRK REDWOOD MEETS HIM OUT THERE-
James Peters: THEY’RE NOT SAFE OUT THERE! RYAN WILSON COMES THROUGH THE ROPES AND GRABS ONTO KIRK IN MIDAIR! HE TWIRLS AROUND AND DRIVES HIS SKULL TO THE GROUND WITH A TORNADO DDT! OH MY GOD, WHAT A MOVE FROM RYAN! HE GETS THE CROWD TO THEIR FEET AS HE ROLLS BACK IN THE RING AND CALLS FOR ONE MORE! RYAN WILSON OFF THE ROPES AND LOOKING FOR A MASSIVE SOMERSAULT OVER THE TOP-
CRASH!
Rich Russillo: OUCHHHHHHH!!!! SHANE DOVE OUT OF THE WAY AND RYAN WILSON’S BACK SLAMMED AGAINST THE BARRICADE AS HE TAKES A NASTY FALL TO THE FLOOR! HE SPILLS OUT ONTO THE FLOOR AND GRABS HIS HEAD AND BACK AS HE WRITHES AROUND IN PAIN! RYAN WILSON TRIED A SOMERSAULT PLANCHA OVER THE TOP AND HE HIT THE FLOOR IN A CRASH AND BURN, OH MY GOD! SHANE GATES GRABS HIM AND THROWS HIM BACK UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE!
James Peters: SHANE GATES SLIDES IN AFTER HIM, HE KNOWS THIS COULD BE HIS CHANCE TO PUT RYAN WILSON AWAY! RYAN ON HIS KNEES- A SUPERKICK FROM GATES! NO! WAIT, RYAN WILSON MANAGED TO EVADE IT, SOMEHOW! HE AVOIDED THE SCHOOLBOY SUPERKICK FROM SHANE AND NOW GRABS HOLD OF HIM! BUT SHANE DRIVES A KNEE INTO THE MIDSECTION OF RYAN AND DRIVES HIM BACK DOWN WITH A CLUBBING BLOW TO HIS SPINE!
James Peters: RYAN CLUTCHES AT HIS BACK AND SHANE GRABS HIM BY THE NECK! HOISTING HIM UP AND DRIVING HIM BACK DOWN NOW WITH A FACEBREAKER DDT, OH MY!!! THAT CRUSHING DDT AS RYAN’S ARMS GO LIMP AND SHANE GATES JUMPS INTO THE COVER, TIGHTLY COVERING RYAN AS KIRK REDWOOD YELLS FROM RINGSIDE!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
James Peters: A KICKOUT! RYAN WILSON POWERS OUT AND SHANE GATES IMMEDIATELY TRANSITIONS INTO INTO A BRIDGE POSITION- OH MY, MUTA LOCK! SHANE GATES WITH THE MUTA LOCK! BUT RYAN WILSON IS TOUGH, HE KNOWS HOW TO PRESERVE!
Rich Russillo: HE’S SURVIVING, TRYING TO GET TO A ROPE, BUT HE’S FAR AWAY! WAIT, IT DOESN’T MATTER! SHANE GATES CAN’T HOLD THE BRIDGE ANYMORE AS HE FALLS TO HIS BACK AND IS FORCED TO CHANGE POSITIONS! THIS GIVES RYAN THE CHANCE TO SCRAMBLE TO THE BOTTOM ROPE! SHANE GRABS HIS LEGS AND TOSSES HIM INTO THE AIR- RYAN LANDS ON HIS FEET AND SNAPS THE HEAD OF SHANE BACK WITH AN “UPPERCUT QUEBECOIS”! THAT POWERFUL EUROPEAN UPPERCUT WHIPLASHES SHANE’S HEAD BACK!
Persephone: That was a good counter, but Gates is already firing back! Not good enough! GATES SHOOTS OFF A DROPKICK TO THE ONCOMING RYAN WILSON AND RYAN IS FORCED TO FALL AGAINST THE ROPES! SMACKED IN THE FACE WITH A DROPKICK, NOW COMING BACK OFF THE ROPES AND GATES HITS HIM WITH A HARD BIG BOOT! RYAN’S FACE SENT EAST TO WEST AND HE FALLS BACK AGAINST THE ROPES AGAIN! HE STORMS TOWARDS GATES, WHO THROWS A MASSIVE CLOTHESLINE TOWARDS HIM-
James Peters: WILSON AVOIDS IT AND HE USES A SWINGING NECKBREAKER TO DROP GATES TO THE GROUND! WHAT A BRILLIANT COUNTER AS SHANE GETS UP AND STUMBLES INTO THE CORNER, RYAN WILSON CHARGES ACROSS THE RING AND DRILLS A HELLUVA KICK INTO THE FACE OF SHANE! OH MY GOD, WHAT A KICK AS SHANE’S EYES ROLL INTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! RYAN GRABS HIS BODY AND THROWS HIM INTO THE AIR, SPINNING HIM AROUND AND DROPPING HIM WITH A “LA BOMBE BLEU”!!!
Persephone: RYAN HIT THAT BLUE THUNDER BOMB AND IT WAS THUNDEROUS! HE LEAPS OVER THE BODY OF SHANE AND COVERS HIM FOR THE WIN! RYAN WILSON FOR THE VICTORY!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Rich Russillo: A KICKOUT! A KICKOUT AT 2 AS SHANE GATES MANAGES TOI STAY ALIVE IN THIS MATCH! THIS CROWD LET OUT A HUGE GASP OF SHOCK AS HE KICKED OUT, THEY THOUGHT IT WAS OVER! SO DID WE! RYAN WILSON GOT ALL OF THAT “LA BOMBE BLEU” AND HE RATTLED THE RING WITH THE BODY OF GATES! KIRK REDWOOD IS SCREAMING FOR SHANE TO GET BACK UP, BUT RYAN FEELS IT! HE FEELS THE VICTORY COMING, HE KNOWS THIS IS HIS MOMENT!
James Peters: RYAN WILSON CLIMBING THE ROPES! HE’S ASCENDING THE ROPES AND NOW HE’S SEATED ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! HE’S CALLING FOR HIS OPPONENT TO FACE HIM! SHANE GATES STILL ON WEARY LEGS! SHANE WOBBLES HIS WAY TOWARDS RYAN WILSON AND- BANG! OH MY GOD, SHANE OUT OF NOWHERE LANDS A FLUSH SUPERKICK THAT STUNS RYAN! THAT ONE TOOK A FEW TEETH I THINK AS RYAN FALLS BACK ONTO THE RING POST! WHAT A KICK, IT CAME FROM OUT OF ABSOLUTELY THIN AIR!
Rich Russillo: NOW SHANE GRABS RYAN AND TRIES TO HOOK HIS ARMS, RYAN CAN’T EVEN FIGHT IT! SHANE GATES HOOKS HIS ARMS AND SEATS RYAN ATOP HIS SHOULDERS, YOU KNOW WHAT’S COMING! HE’S GOT HIM HOOKED AND NOW SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A “HEARTLESS DEMISE”!!! THAT VICIOUS MUSCLE BUSTER MOVE THAT JUST FOLDED RYAN LIKE AN ACCORDION! HIS BODY CRUMBLES AND SHANE GATES TRIES TO THROW HIS BODY OVER RYAN’S FOR THE COVER! A BIT LATE ON THE PIN, BUT HE’S STILL GOT HIM!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
James Peters: KICKOUTTTTTTTT!!!! WHAT A KICKOUT AT THE VERY LAST SECOND BY RYAN WILSON, WHO CONTINUES TO SHOW HIS INCREDIBLE HEART WITH EVERY OUTING HE HAS! UNREAL FROM RYAN AS SHANE YELLS OUT IN FRUSTRATION! WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO KEEP HIM DOWN?!?!
Rich Russillo: I don’t know! This has been a very competitive match so far, and yet somehow Ryan Wilson has avoided falling victim to Shane Gates when a move like that very well could have ended the match! It’s very impressive on Ryan’s part, and we have to give him credit for that!
Persephone: No we don’t. We never have to give Ryan credit for anything, like ever. Ever ever. Ever ever ever. We do not EVER need to pay that ginger moron any respects when all he ever does is suck at wrestling and be as annoying as humanly possible. I genuinely don’t get why this guy works here still.
James Peters: That’s not important right now! What’s important is that Shane Gates is in control, and yet this match still is not over! Shane needs to figure something out, I really just have no clue what it’ll take to keep someone like Ryan Wilson down for the three count!
Rich Russillo: WHATEVER IT IS, SHANE GATES THINKS HE HAS IT! HE’S LIFTING RYAN UP AND SIGNALING FOR THE END! HE’S LOOKING TO END THIS MATCH WITH A BANG AND PUT A STAMP ON THIS AMAZING CONTEST! HE LIFTS RYAN TO HIS FEET AND TAKES HIS BACK! GERMAN SUPLEX POSITION…AND HE GETS IT! HE SUPLEXES RYAN ONTO HIS HEAD AND NECK AS RYAN’S BODY LIFELESSLY HITS THE CANVAS!
James Peters: HE’S NOT DONE YET! HE LIFTS RYAN UP ONE MORE TIME AND HE TRIES TO COMPLETE THE “SUFFER AS ONE”!!!! HERE IT IS!!! THE RIPCORD LARIAT AS HE SPINS RYAN OUT AND- RYAN PULLED HIM INTO A STANDING HELLUVA KICK AS HE SPINS THE JAW OF SHANE GATES AROUND! OH MY GOD! GATES STILL WITH WRIST CONTROL AS HE DROPS TO A KNEE, RYAN LIFTS GATES UP AND HITS HIM WITH A LARIAT AS SHANE’S BODY SLAMS TO THE CANVAS AND RYAN YELLS OUT IN ENERGY!
Rich Russillo: THIS COULD BE IT! RYAN WILSON TURNS HIM OVER AND TRIES TO GET HIM INTO SHARPSHOOTER POSITION, BUT GATES SCRAMBLES TO THE ROPES BEFORE RYAN CAN REALLY CINCH IT IN AND THE REFEREE FORCES THE SEPARATION! KIRK REDWOOD IS TRYING TO GRAB SHANE GATES AND HELP HIM- RYAN’S HAD ENOUGH! HE FLIES THROUGH THE ROPES WITH A DROPKICK THAT NEARLY TOOK KIRK’S HEAD OFF AND SENT HIM TO THE FLOOR IN A HEAP!
James Peters: HE ROLLS BACK INTO THE RING AND- OH MY GOD! SHANE TRIES TO ROLL HIM UP! IT DOESN’T TAKE AS RYAN ROLLS THROUGH AND DRIVES A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT INTO THE JAW OF SHANE GATES! IT SNAPS HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! HE’S CALLING FOR THE FANS TO GET TO THEIR FEET! RYAN WILSON SENSES THAT THIS COULD BE THE FINAL CURTAIN CALL! HIS TIME TO SHINE AS HE COMES BACK IN SPECTACULAR FASHION TONIGHT!
Rich Russillo: RYAN WILSON DROPS DOWN INTO THE SHARPSHOOTER AND IT’S IN DEEP! HE’S GOT THE SHARPSHOOTER IN FULL EFFECT RIGHT NOW AND SHANE GATES IS NOWHERE NEAR A ROPE! HE’S GOT NO HELP, NO ROPE NEAR HIM!
James Peters: Shane Gates is trying to fight out of the Sharpshooter, but these two have been through a lot in this match and I don’t know how much one man can really take after already being so exhausted and in pain! Shane is desperately trying to reach out to ropes, but there’s just nothing there!
Persephone: GOOD, HURRY UP SO WE CAN GET CLOSER TO THE END OF THIS SHOW!!!
Rich Russillo: SHANE IS TRYING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO STOP HIMSELF, BUT THAT’S IT!!! SHANE CAN’T HOLD ON ANY LONGER AFTER ALL!!! SHANE IS DONE AND HE’S FORCED TO TAP!
TAP! TAP! TAP!
DING! DING! DING!
Rich Russillo: HE DOES IT! RYAN WILSON BY SUBMISSION! WHAT A HARD FOUGHT WIN!
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY SUBMISSION, RYANNNNN WILSONNNNN!!!
(Ryan rolls off Shane in pain as he still manages to stand and have his hand raised by the referee.)
Rich Russillo: What a match that was, both men really had a chip on their shoulder they left it all out there. We saw the heart of both as they survived through hellish offense from the other. These two men were the perfect match tonight as they tested one another’s wills off the losing end of their Shock Value matches.
James Peters: Absolutely and in the end, Ryan Wilson gets a big win back and makes good on his promise to come back stronger from his loss. He showed that he’s still got what it takes to deliver and one day soon, he might find himself in a certain match that gives him the chance to get back to where he was- a match that will need all of that perseverance…
(Ryan walks up the ramp as Kirk grabs hold of Shane and they try to get to their feet. Ryan walks through the curtain as the scene then fades.)
(Voltage fades to a PSA, encouraging Elitists to stay safe in the event of ex-fiancé’s desperately trying to reconnect with you.)
(Sunday Night Voltage fades back into a panaround of the BOK Center as the crowd’s buzzing turns into an eruption of cheers to the sounds of ‘Shake It’ by Metro Station playing up. The camera then goes over to the stage to show the collective unit of Jake Smith and Chris Elite, better known as The Haircare Kings, making their way out to the stage. Both of them are heavily bandaged up, but they have the Unified Tag Team Championships on their shoulders as they raise them high in the air, with pyro shooting out behind them, bearing confident expressions on their faces as they do so. From there they bring their Championships down before making their way down the ramp and towards the ring from there.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing at this time… they are the EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!! THE TEAM OF JAKE SMITH AND CHRIS ELITE… THE HAIRCARE KINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Here comes the men of the hour as they haven’t been short on appearances here in the Land of Elite these past two weeks. At Shock Value they had their hands full with Jake going up against Jacob Senn and Chris fighting for the EAW World Championship against Myles and Ryan Wilson. Jake managed to get a victory in his match, but Chris couldn’t say the same for themselves in the process.
James Peters: But they weren’t exactly finished there as the following week they stepped into the ring at Dia Del Diablo against The Ice Aces defending their Unified Tag Team Championships. They managed to come out on top in the Scorched Earth match but not without bearing the scars from then and Shock Value to now. They’re still recuperating and you can see the burns and scars that they have riddled all over their body, but right now that’s not stopping them from bragging about their victory in their body language and what they have to say tonight.
Persephone: Honestly, I was hoping either Shock Value or Dia Del Diablo would kill them, one or the other I don’t really care. We already have too many people on the Voltage brand and that just makes it all cluttered, it would be more help than harm for us.
(Jake makes his way around the ring and takes a microphone from the ringside area while Chris slides into the ring. Jake from there enters in and tosses him a microphone as the two of them raise their Championships in the air one more time. From there, ‘Shake It’ begins to come to a close as Chris begins to speak into his microphone from there.)
Chris Elite: I know there’s a lot of dickeaters out there who don’t like us. People who’d say this and that talking all this shit about how we’re not good, or how I’m washed up, or how Jake is whatever. All that trash ass bullshit that gets repetitive after hearing it for weeks on end. It’s like people want us to fail, and shit if I had us to face as competition I’d be praying like Eddie Brock at Church too. But after everything that we’ve had to go through these past few weeks, I don’t want to hear shit about how we don’t deserve these. Fuckers want to go around saying these titles couldn’t have gone to less deserving people, but if that was the case then we wouldn’t have beaten Shane and Kirk or Ice Age. Make it make sense, because here we are as Champions and ain’t nobody been able to take us down.
Jake Smith: Shock Value was lukewarm for us I’ll admit, I know that’s the last thing that Chris wants to talk about but I’ll put it out there to set it straight for all of you. I could talk about it all day but I got an immense amount of satisfaction putting Jacob Senn down for good and sending him packing. Sure I bear my scars afterward but I’m glad the only thing he’s doing now is being forced to stalk me from the outside and watch my every move like an obsessed ex-lover. I don’t know why, but it just makes me smile watching people like him suffer for what they’ve done. You’ve probably heard it a million times coming out of my mouth, but I just wanted to set the scene. Chris on the other hand met a failure that was sure to bring a frown onto his face, but in the end it was about how he got back up and dusted himself off, setting off on an adventure to redeem himself from that and I think, after what happened yesterday, Chris did just that.
Chris Elite: Talk to ‘em, because I wasn’t going to lose a second time after that. I know people expect us to praise our opponents and shit but I ain’t gonna lie to y’all, they were utter garbage. Ice Age walked into that shit acting like they were better than us for some odd reason and that they were going to beat us or whatever. You had Usagi saying some stupid shit about us and Ayu, shit I ain’t even gonna lie I didn’t listen to anything she said because I knew it would be the same thing. They tried to make us believe that they had a chance, but they learned firsthand that it just wasn’t going to happen and now here we are as your Tag Team Champions. Sure I ain’t World Champion, but at the very least I can walk away saying that I am a Champion, regardless of what I had to go through to get there you get me?
Jake Smith: Of course, let’s not gloss over that, it was something that we had to conquer as well in the process. Going from Shock Value to Dia Del Diablo was no easy task, especially after everything that we had to go through from then to there. We were electrocuted beyond belief and pushed to our limit and there was no doubt in mind we weren’t going to be 100% heading into our Unified Tag Team Championship match, which was something that we acknowledged thoroughly to make sure there were no doubts about our confidence heading into the bout. We went through so much worse in the past and had to walk into something else the following week with an expectation to win but our injuries trying their very best to hold us down, Dia Del Diablo was absolutely no exception to the rule.
Chris Elite: I ain’t gonna front with you on this one, I didn’t really care about that. I know what’s-their-names were gonna call us out on it because they’re unoriginal bozos who won’t get off our dicks, but regardless of what happened the previous week we were still going to come out on top. Which, to nobody’s surprise, is what we did. Pain For Pride XV is coming up quick and I don’t know what’s going to happen from here and then, but all I knew for certain was the fact that I was going to walk into the event as the Unified Tag Team Champions and shit, walk into Season 16 as Champion as well I don’t give a damn. So we were going to do everything to make sure that it happened, and now here we are.
Jake Smith: Yeah, I’ll admit I don’t know what’s in store for us from here. I know the Gold Rush tournament is coming up quickly and people are going to be chomping at the bit to get a spot in there, but I think if there’s one thing that Chris and I can agree on we’re going to want a spot in there. I’d sure love another World Championship shot and especially after what Chris went through I’m sure he’s dying for one as well. Is that guaranteed? No, for all I know Chris and I could be walking into Pain for Pride defending our Championships and that’s it. But it would make the whole thing just a lot sweeter so make no mistake about it, if an opportunity presents itself, I’m sure he and I are going to waste no time making sure that we get it.
Chris Elite: But our main priority is defending these Championships against whoever the fuck wants them, and I don’t care who the fuck it is. It could be Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, it doesn’t matter to us. All I’m saying right now is that the result is going to be the same, and that’s us standing tall over them. Consider this a fucking warning, either step up, or shut the fuck up. Because as far as I’m concerned, The Haircare Kings are going to be reigning as Unified Tag Team Champions for a long time.
(‘Shake It’ once again begins to blast through the speakers again as both Jake and Chris raise their Unified Tag Team Championships into the air as the crowd roars into cheers. The two of them look at one another with confident expressions on their faces as they turn around and begin to make their way out of the ring and up to the backstage area from there. It’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(Sunday Night Voltage fades to a setting completely different from the BOK Center. It’s a dark room, with a spotlight shining down on a setup surrounded by a pitch black abyss. It’s dead silent, with an eerie feeling surrounding it as fog billows out faintly, encapsulating the entire room adding to the vibe of it all. Before the camera can focus on anything else though… that spotlight completely shuts off. Now there’s nothing that can be seen, just a pitch black. It seems like there’s nothing there, as the camera frame is coated over with a complete darkness. But the sounds change in the room, instead of dead silence… the sounds of boots walking closer and closer to the centerfold of the setting are heard. It’s unknown who, or what, it might be, but it’s accompanied by another sound that’s heard afterward…)
(flick.)
(The dark is finally broken by a source of light, a small flame coming from a lighter is seen. It burns brightly before being lowered close and closer to the ground… revealed to be lighting a candle. This continues as the lighter goes in a circle, lighting a multitude of candles that seem to be surrounding something. The camera then goes down to reveal a bright red pentagram which is lit up by the light of the candles that accompany it. The boots that were heard before are then seen as the person drops down to a knee in front of what seems like a ritual… but to make a long story short, a seance rather. Their hands, with long black fingernails to accompany it, lower down a box and place it at the center of the pentagram. From there, the person unfolds the top layer of the box to reveal the contents of it… an ouija board with a planchette on top of it. The person kneels down fully and leans forward, as the camera reveals it to be…)
(Minerva, who has her eyes closed and her breathing calmed, her head tilted downward towards the ouija board which sits in front of her. She has her eyes shut for a good period of time, concentrating her energy into this and taking the time to focus while she can. From there, her eyes open, and she brings her hand out. She presses two fingers on the planchette before bringing it around the ouija board three times. After she’s done, she brings the planchette to the center of the board and opens her mouth to speak.)
Minerva: If there is anyone here with me, and you would like to communicate with me, please say yes or no…
(Minerva keeps her composure and simply waits. What she said was a very open statement, but really, she was only hoping for one person… Drake King. The aftermath of the Electric Pool match against him and Xander was only made more apparent as time went on. While Xander was the more fortunate of the bunch managing to come out alive despite having his scars, meanwhile, Drake was nowhere to be seen. His disappearance only meant one thing to the people who actually cared about this human being, it was that he was more than likely dead. That was something that enraged Minerva, and it was not because he cared about her in any sort of way, but another reason… completion.)
(After everything that happened a few months back, with Drake King beating Minerva to a bloody pulp and branding her in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, disbanding New Eden. There was only one thing that Minerva had on her mind, and that was revenge. Drake had his issues with her boyfriend, Myles, and questioned why he would stick up for someone like Minerva who Drake felt had wronged him. It all culminated at King of Elite with the two of them facing one another for the EAW World Championship. While Minerva got her hands into the match and helped Myles get the victory, it didn’t stop her from attacking Drake after the match and making sure that he got exactly what he deserved. Despite surely being satisfied with her work at the moment, in the whole grand scheme of things, it wasn’t enough…)
(Her rage was only fueled when Drake filed a restraining order on her after pressing assault charges, making sure that she came nowhere close to him. It pushed her agenda forward and although there was an exception made, she was still out for blood and one way or another was going to get to Drake King and made sure that she gave him exactly what he deserved… so it didn’t really help the events of Shock Value left the former EAW World Champion M.I.A. While sure, in the moment watching that hellspawn suffer was more than enough to bring the slightest of a smirk to the face of the Gorgeous Gypsy… she was pissed afterward letting it all soak in. That it wasn’t her that put the final nail in the coffin, that it wasn’t her that left him for dead… it was Xander Payne. So she wasn’t here to summon him because he missed him, she came here to summon him purely out of spite. So it’s safe to say that she was more than happy to feel the planchette move under her fingers and begin to make its way up to the ‘Yes’ on the ouija board. Once the planchette was firmly above the ‘Yes,’ Minerva continued to speak slowly.)
Minerva: What is your name?
(She waits for a moment as the eeriness begins to creep in once more. She once again begins to feel the planchette move as it inches closer and closer towards the letters on the ouija board. It’s only when it lands on the ‘D,’ that it leads Minerva to slowly grow a sinister grin on her face, But instead of moving towards the ‘R’ as intended, the planchette moves to the right of the ‘D’… towards the ‘E.’)
Minerva: No…
(The planchette continues to move, making it all the more evident to Minerva that this is not Drake King, this is not the person that he was looking for… but something more. The planchette moves to the ‘S’ next… then to the ‘T’… then to the ‘I’… then to the ‘N’… then to the ‘Y’… this is not Drake King… this is Destiny… Vladislav Goddard.)
(Minerva’s breathing begins to shudder, her heart starting to race as her late mother responds to her. It was only recently that she mustered out the energy to even come close to her place of rest, but now this? It felt like a dream that she needed to pinch herself to awake from. Even though she knew from the get go, she couldn’t really find it in her to believe it herself.)
Minerva: Mother, is that you…?
(The planchette after a moment begins to move upward, landing on ‘Yes.’ As it does, tears slowly begin to form in the eyes of Minerva. It was a conversation with the dead alright… but one that she didn’t expect. She remembers back to the conversation that she had at her gravesite, saying how sorry she was for everything and how she stated that she was fighting for the wrong people all this time. Before closing her eyes for a moment and opening them.)
Minerva: I’m sorry, for everything I’ve done. I’ve said it before, but while I know you’re here, I’m going to say it again. Do you… forgive me?
(The planchette, moves to ‘Yes.’)
Minerva: Everything that I’ve done… it goes against what you wanted for me. I know I’ve never listened and the mistakes that I’ve made because of it I’ve learned as time goes on… are irreparable. I also know that I’ll never come to terms with it and make everything right. But overtime, I’ve reached the conclusion that the only thing I can do is move forward and make my life better, make myself better. Though I have that in my head and I’ve set that as a goal for myself, I haven’t found a clear concise pathway to walk on moving forward. I want you to be proud of me… but how can I do that?
(The planchette once again begins to move, this time towards the letters… ‘B’… ‘E’… ‘Y’…’O’…’U’… “Be you.”)
Minerva: I’ve been trying… for however long I have now I’ve been trying to piece the puzzle together, trying to find my place in this wretched world and hoping that answers would just fall into the palm of my hand. I’ve been doing this for you-
(Before Minerva can finish speaking, the planchette moves to ‘No.’)
Minerva: What do you mean?
(The planchette moves again, this time to ‘N’… ‘O’… ‘T’… ‘F’… ‘O’… ‘R’… ‘M’… ‘E’… “Not for me.” which causes Minerva to flutter her eyes in confusion.)
Minerva: But why?
(‘F’…’O’…’R’… ‘Y’… ‘O’- but before the planchette can continue, Minerva speaks.)
Minerva: For me… for myself… do this for myself, not you… But when I did that, I fell in line with the wrong people- with the wrong person. Is it because you understand me confiding in you is learning from my mistakes? That I know better now than to make the mistakes of the past?
(The planchette moves to ‘Yes.’)
Minerva: I’ve spent so long going after Drake for what he’s done, that I’ve never gotten the chance to work on that… the one thing I always wanted to go after was the EAW World Championship, but it was always in the hands of someone I loved, cared for. In New Eden, it was Drake… after New Eden, it’s Myles. Are you saying that’s what I should do?
(The planchette goes to ‘W’… ‘H’… ‘A… ‘T’… ‘Y’… ‘O’… ‘U’… ‘W’… ‘A… ‘N’… ‘T’… “What you want.” It’s a phrase that tells Minerva all she needs to know. Her mother is urging her to be herself and who she wants to be, if going after the EAW World Championship is what she wants to do, then it’s exactly what she should do.)
Minerva: I can’t say thank you enough Mother… you have done more for me than I ever could have done for you. I just want you to look down at me one day and see a daughter that you can be proud of. I’ve been trying, I really have… I won’t let you down.
(From there, begrudgingly… Minerva takes her hand off of the planchette, feeling more complete than she ever could have felt with a conversation towards Drake King of all people. With tears flowing down her face she slowly closes the box to the Ouija set, and stands up. She turns around and walks away from the scene, as it’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage from there begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside, where Bella Braxton can be seen with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is a CHAMPION VERSUS CHAMPION MATCH, and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
(‘The Outsiders’ by Eric Church hits to loud cheers, and Donovan Duke walks out with his National Elite Championship on his shoulder. Donovan has a few bandages on him thanks to his match against Lucas Johnson back at Shock Value, but this does not bother him. Donovan remains focused on his upcoming Champions Showcase match and continues to make his way down to the ring, knowing that tonight is about to be yet another major match for him.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… From Stillwater, Oklahoma… Weighing in at 212 pounds… HE IS THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION, DOOONNOOOVANNNNN DUUUUUUUUKKEEEE!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Donovan Duke had an impressive Championship defense last week when he retained his Championship against Lucas Johnson, who I’m still surprised is actually alive! Tonight Donovan has another major match, as he faces the EAW Champion!
Rich Russillo: This is going to be great. These two have tons of history with each other and we all know that, but even beyond that these are just two fantastic wrestlers with different styles, and it’ll be great seeing what they can do.
Persephone: All they’re gonna do is put me to sleep. I want to say hopefully this match doesn’t last too long, but who am I kidding? We all know it will.
(‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi follows, and as the cheers continue, the EAW World Champion Myles walks out to the stage, carrying his Championship on his shoulder as well. Myles is bandaged up much like Donovan Duke, but Myles stares directly at his opponent, as much like Donovan, Myles is not the type to be easily distracted, or allow injuries or wounds to make him lose focus on a match. Myles makes his way down to the ring without much care about the injuries he suffered at Shock Value, and the crowd cheers in excitement for the upcoming match.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… From Melbourne, Australia… Weighing in at 215 pounds…. HE IS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, MYYYYYLLLEESSS!!!!!!
James Peters: I’m sure Brian Daniels is watching this match very closely, so this is not a match Myles wants to lose! Even so, Myles isn’t at his one hundred percent following Shock Value, just like Donovan Duke! These two are at an even playing field right now after their injuries, so it’ll be interesting seeing how they go about this match.
Rich Russillo: That’s true. Myles and Donovan might have a very different match than what we’re used to for the two. This is going to be very interesting to see for the two of them, and I for one can’t wait to get this match started!
Persephone: This is boring as hell for a main event, but whatever.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: AND MYLES BURSTS OUT THE GATE LOOKING FOR A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE- WHICH DONOVAN DUKE IS ABLE TO AVOID BEFORE GRABBING MYLES FROM BEHIND! DONOVAN DUKE LOOKS FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX, BUT MYLES LANDS A BACK ELBOW TO DONOVAN’S FACE! Myles with a snapmare taking Donovan down, AND NOW MYLES LOOKS FOR A KNEE DROP, BUT DONOVAN DUKE GETS OUT OF THE WAY! Both men are still hurt after Shock Value, and it looks like they’re trying to put this one away quickly! Donovan Duke now grabbing Myles, AND DONOVAN LIFTS MYLES UP FOR A SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: MYLES LANDS ON HIS FEET AFTER SLIPPING OUT OF DONOVAN’S GRASP THOUGH, AND NOW IT’S MYLES GRABBING DONOVAN AS HE LOOKS FOR A BACK SUPLEX- WHICH DONOVAN DUKE IS ABLE TO COUNTER AS HE SLIPS DOWN MYLES’ BACK WITH A SUNSET FLIP PIN!
ONE!
T-
Rich Russillo: MYLES KICKS OUT, BUT NOW DONOVAN DUKE GRABS MYLES BEFORE PULLING THE EAW CHAMPION INTO A FRONT FACELOCK! DONOVAN DUKE IS POSSIBLY LOOKING FOR A DDT-
Persephone: And he doesn’t get it, because he sucks at wrestling and Myles, a wrestler just as awful, was able to knee him in the gut.
James Peters: Myles now pulling Donovan down, BEFORE LIFTING DONOVAN UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION!!! MYLES IS LOOKING FOR A POWERBOMB, BUT DONOVAN DUKE IMMEDIATELY BEGINS PUNCHING AT THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION’S HEAD, AND AFTER WHAT HE WENT THROUGH AT SHOCK VALUE I DON’T THINK MYLES WILL BE ABLE TO ENDURE AS MUCH OF THAT AS HE USUALLY WOULD! Myles is forced to let go of Donovan, AND NOW DONOVAN DUKE LANDS A HUGE DROPKICK, SENDING MYLES ROLLING OUT OF THE RING! It looks like Donovan Duke might have gained control of this match, and that’s not good for Myles!
Persephone: I don’t care how Myles feels about it, I just want to see this end as soon as possible!
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke rushes out to the ring apron as Myles makes his way back to his feet, AND NOW DONOVAN DUKE RUNS IN BEFORE DIVING OFF OF THE APRON, DELIVERING A DIVING CLOTHESLINE OUT TO RINGSIDE!!! That’s not something you see from Donovan Duke every week, but Donovan now is sending Myles back into the ring, and so far the National Elite Champion has been looking really good in this match! Donovan has the upper hand, and as long as he keeps the offense goinf and doesn’t slow down, it’ll be difficult for Myles to find a counter!
James Peters: Donovan Duke slides back into the ring before grabbing Myles, and Donovan sends Myles into the corner before running in! RUNNING FOREARM SMASH BY DONOVAN DUKE!!! THE RUNNING FOREARM SMASH CONNECTS AS DONOVAN’S NOW THE ONE DELIVERING THE SNAPMARE! Donovan Duke now pulling Myles up by the waist, AND DONOVAN DUKE DELIVERS A GERMAN SUPLEX, SENDING THE BACK OF MYLES’ HEAD INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! THAT WAS A BRUTAL MOVE BY DONOVAN DUKE, WHO PULLS MYLES AWAY FROM THE CORNER AND THE ROPES BEFORE GOING FOR THE FIRST COVER OF THIS MATCH!
ONE!
TWO-
Rich Russillo: MYLES GETS THE KICKOUT AT TWO!! Donovan Duke now grabbing Myles, AND HE TURNS MYLES OVER BEFORE LOCKING IN A BOSTON CRAB!! DONOVAN DUKE HAS A BOSTON CRAB LOCKED IN ON MYLES, AND IT LOOKS LIKE MYLES IS STILL IN TROUBLE AS DONOVAN DUKE HAS REFUSED TO LET UP! Donovan knows that neither man is at their one hundred percent, and whoever gets the upper hand will have a huge chance of winning this match knowing all the wounds that can be targeted!
Persephone: Well Myles hasn’t tapped out yet, so I don’t really care about anything you just said. If you ask me, it’s ridiculous that this match hasn’t already ended.
James Peters: Luckily, nobody was asking you. Anyways, Myles managed to make it to the bottom rope, and that forces Donovan Duke to let go of the submission. Donovan Duke now pulling Myles up as he tries to continue with his streak of offense, AND MYLES IS ABLE TO LAND A HEADBUTT, STAGGERING DONOVAN AND GIVING HIMSELF SOME MUCH NEEDED SPACE! MYLES NOW RUNNING IN, AND HE DROPS DONOVAN WITH A SINGLE LEG DROPKICK!
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke stumbles to his feet as he falls into the corner, AND NOW MYLES RUNS IN BEFORE DELIVERING A VICIOUS CLOTHESLINE IN THE CORNER, BUT MYLES DOESN’T STOP THERE AS HE SEES THAT DONOVAN DUKE IS STILL STANDING! MYLES WITH A SECOND CLOTHESLINE NOW, AND A THIRD, AND A FOURTH, AND NOW MYLES SENDS DONOVAN INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER BEFORE CHARGING IN, HITTING A FIFTH CLOTHESLINE AS DONOVAN DUKE DROPS TO THE MAT! That was an amazing comeback by Myles, but his job isn’t finished yet, nor will it be until he’s able to keep Donovan down for a three count!
James Peters: Donovan Duke grabs onto the ropes to start pulling himself up, AND NOW MYLES RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE HITTING A HUGE DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF DONOVAN DUKE’S HEAD, SENDING DONOVAN THROUGH THE ROPES AND BACK OUT OF THE RING! It looks like things have taken a spill to ringside once again, only this time it’s the EAW World Champion sending the National Elite Champion out instead of the other way around! It has to be said that this has been a very competitive match so far, but what else could we have expected from these two?
Persephone: Mediocrity, since that’s what this match has been so far.
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke now making it back up to his feet, AND MYLES QUICKLY BEGINS TO RUN THE ROPES, BEFORE SOARING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TAKING DONOVAN DUKE OUT WITH AN INCREDIBLE TOPE CON HILO!!! Every time Myles delivers that tope con hilo he executes it perfectly, and it looks like tonight is no different! Myles takes Donovan Duke out now, and it looks like Myles isn’t looking to spend much time outside of the ring either as he quickly rolls Donovan back inside!
James Peters: Instead of getting directly into the ring Myles starts to climb up to the top rope, and it looks like he’s aiming to continue his own streak of offense now! Donovan Duke’s once again slowly stirring and making it back up to his feet, AND NOW MYLES DIVES OFF OF THE TOP ROPE- EXCEPT DONOVAN RUSHES RIGHT TO THE CORNER, FORCING MYLES TO HAVE TO ROLL BACK UP TO HIS FEET! MYLES QUICKLY TURNS TOWARDS DONOVAN, BUT IT’S TOO LATE! DONOVAN RUNS IN AND DELIVERS A FRONT DROPKICK, SENDING MYLES CRASHING INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!
Rich Russillo: You can tell Donovan Duke isn’t finished just yet, and whatever he has in mind next can’t be good for Myles! DONOVAN DUKE GRABS MYLES AND SCOOPS HIM UP IN HIS ARMS JUST AS MYLES WAS TRYING TO GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AND NOW DONOVAN DUKE DELIVERS A FALLAWAY SLAM! That was a very impressive feat of strength for Donovan Duke who is the slightly smaller man in this match, even if it’s only by one inch in height and three pounds in weight! The National Elite Champion is in control now, and knowing Donovan, he surely has something in mind!
Persephone: The only thing that should be on his mind right now is either killing Myles or killing himself, whichever one ends the match faster.
James Peters: Donovan Duke grabbing Myles and pulling him up, BEFORE DELIVERING A GERMAN SUPLEX, ONLY DONOVAN DUKE DOESN’T STOP THERE!!! DONOVAN DUKE PULLS MYLES BACK UP, AND HE DELIVERS A DRAGON SUPLEX NOW!!!! DONOVAN DUKE LIFTS MYLES UP ONE MORE TIME, AND NOW HE-
Rich Russillo: MYLES GOES FOR ANOTHER BACK ELBOW, BUT THIS TIME DONOVAN HAS IT SCOUTED AS HE DUCKS UNDER IT-
James Peters: AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT MYLES WAS HOPING FOR AS MYLES GRABS DONOVAN BY THE HEAD AND DROPS HIM TO THE MAT WITH A DDT!! NOW IT’S MYLES THAT GOES FOR THE COVER ON DONOVAN DUKE TO POSSIBLY PUT THIS MATCH AWAY!
ONE!
TWO!!
James Peters: AND DONOVAN DUKE KICKS OUT!!!! These are two incredible talents, the EAW Champion, the National Elite Champion, and I guess we should have expected this match to last quite a while, as there’s just no way either man is going to go down without a good fight! That’s just not who they are, this match is going to continue!
Persephone: I can’t believe this isn’t over yet. Can someone PLEASE tell me why we have to keep being forced to watch these horrible matches every single week?
James Peters: … Because Sunday night Voltage is a weekly show, and we work here.
Persephone: Oh my God, SHUT UP!!!! I only work here because there’s a chance Rexy might actually come back one day anyway! Besides, where else can I see people try and murder each other without it being an issue?
Rich Russillo: And you’re also here for me too, right?
Persephone: What? No, shut up.
Rich Russillo: :mjcry:
James Peters: Well this match is still on, and Myles needs to think of a way to keep Donovan down! While you two were running your mouths Myles dragged Donovan up onto his shoulders, AND NOW MYLES DROPS DONOVAN FACE FIRST ONTO THE TOP ROPE WITH SNAKE EYES! Donovan stumbles out of the corner, AND MYLES LIFTS DONOVAN UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS ONCE MORE, THIS TIME IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY AS HE- WAIT NO! DONOVAN DUKE IS ELBOWING AT THE SIDE OF MYLES’ HEAD, DESPERATELY TRYING TO ESCAPE HIS GRASP BEFORE MYLES COULD DELIVER ANOTHER BRUTAL MOVE!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN DUKE IS ABLE TO SLIP BEHIND MYLES, BUT NOT WITHOUT GRABBING MYLES BY THE HEAD AND PULLING HIM BACK FOR A REVERSE DDT!!! The reverse DDT connects, and now Donovan Duke takes a moment to catch his breath before beginning to climb the turnbuckles! Myles is down on the mat as Donovan continues to climb, and this could be huge for Donovan Duke, who is looking to pull off a major victory tonight!
Persephone: As long as it ends the match I don’t really care, just hurry up so I don’t have to keep watching this trash!
James Peters: DONOVAN DUKE DIVES OFF OF THE TOP ROPE, DELIVERING A PERFECT MOONSAULT THAT CONNECTS ON THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!! DONOVAN DUKE NOW GOING FOR THE COVER, AND THAT MIGHT JUST BE ENOUGH TO CLOSE THIS MATCH OUT!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
T-
James Peters: NO! ONCE AGAIN MYLES IS ABLE TO KICK OUT BEFORE THREE, BUT YOU HAVE TO WONDER HOW MUCH MYLES REALLY HAS LEFT IN HIM AT THIS POINT! After all he’s been through, I doubt Myles will be able to survive much more of this offense! Donovan Duke might be able to pick up a big victory!
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke now is pulling Myles up, AND DONOVAN HITS MYLES WITH A FOREARM! DONOVAN NOW REPEATEDLY HITTING THESE FOREARMS TO KEEP MYLES DOWN AND TRY TO KNOCK HIM OUT, MAKING SURE THAT MYLES ISN’T ABLE TO COUNTER WHATEVER IT IS DONOVAN HAS IN MIND! Donovan Duke has always been incredibly smart and is very skilled inside of the ring, AND NOW DONOVAN DUKE LOOKS TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY AS HE LIFTS MYLES UP, AND NOW DONOVAN DUKE GOES FOR “DRAWING DEAD”!!!!!!
Persephone: Buuut of course, Donovan Duke doesn’t connect and therefore can’t finish the match. :francis:
James Peters: Myles was able to slip out of Donovan’s grasp, AND NOW MYLES GRABS DONOVAN BEFORE SENDING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST, THROUGH THE TURNBUCKLES!! Donovan Duke stumbles out of the corner, AND NOW MYLES LIFTS DONOVAN UP INTO THE CANADIAN RACK, AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT THIS USUALLY SETS UP!!! WRATH OF PANDORA!!! THE WRATH OF PANDORA CONNECTS OUT OF NOWHERE, AND NOW MYLES PULLS HIMSELF OVER DONOVAN DUKE FOR THE COVER, LOOKING TO CLOSE OUT THIS MAIN EVENT MATCH!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
James Peters: DONOVAN DUKE GETS THE SHOULDER UP!!!! DONOVAN DUKE KEEPS THIS MATCH ALIVE JUST AS IT WAS ABOUT TO END!!!
Persephone: :will:
Rich Russillo: Myles sits up, and this is exactly the kind of competition you know he’s all about! Myles is the kind of man to respect whoever could give him a good fight, and you have to imagine that Donovan Duke is giving him that kind of fight as we speak! Donovan Duke is somehow still in this, and it’s that kind of fight that made him the National Elite Champion in the first place! Though at the same time, Myles tonight has shown us all exactly why he is the EAW World Champion!
Persephone: All he’s shown me is that he sucks and can’t put away Donovan Duke of all people.
James Peters: Well, Myles is back to his feet now, and I think he’s going to attempt to do exactly that! Myles pulls Donovan Duke up before kicking him in the midsection, AND NOW MYLES SENDS DONOVAN INTO THE ROPES BEFORE POPPING DONOVAN UP FOR VICTORIA- BUT DONOVAN MANAGES TO GRAB MYLES’ KNEE BEFORE PULLING HIM INTO THE MAT, TRANSITIONING INTO A GROUNDED ANKLE LOCK!! THAT WAS SUCH AN IMPRESSIVE COUNTER BY DONOVAN DUKE, AS MYLES IS NOW TRAPPED IN ANOTHER SUBMISSION AND NEEDS TO FIGHT HIS WAY OUT OF IT IF HE WANTS TO LEAVE VOLTAGE WITH A VICTORY!
Rich Russillo: MYLES TURNS HIMSELF AROUND, BUT NOW DONOVAN DUKE GETS UP BEFORE GRABBING MYLES BY THE LEGS, AND NOW DONOVAN TRANSITIONS INTO A SHARPSHOOTER!!! DONOVAN DUKE’S SUBMISSION MOVES ARE SUPER IMPRESSIVE, AND IT WAS JUST LAST WEEK AT SHOCK VALUE WHERE MYLES CAME CLOSE TO LOSING HIS EAW CHAMPIONSHIP THANKS TO RYAN WILSON LOCKING HIM IN THIS VERY MOVE! MYLES IS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE HERE, AS HE MIGHT JUST BE LEAVING VOLTAGE WITH A LOSS!
Persephone: OKAY, COOL WHATEVER, I DON’T CARE! JUST HURRY UP AND END THE MATCH SO I CAN GET OUT OF HERE! I have better things to do than sit here and watch Donovan Duke tie Myles in knots, so for the love of God just hurry up and tap out or something!
James Peters: Myles is able to once again power himself onto his back, AND NOW HE HITS DONOVAN WITH A RIGHT HAND, CAUSING DONOVAN TO STUMBLE BACK AND LOSE HIS HOLD ON MYLES! MYLES USES THE ROPES TO PULL HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET AS DONOVAN CHARGES BACK IN, AND NOW MYLES LIFTS DONOVAN OVER THE TOP ROPE! Donovan manages to land on the ring apron, BUT MYLES JUMPS BACK AND HITS DONOVAN DUKE WITH AN ENZUIGIRI, DROPPING DONOVAN ONTO THE RING APRON!
Rich Russillo: Myles now making his way out to the apron, AND NOW MYLES LIFTS DONOVAN UP IN A SUPLEX POSITION, POSSIBLY LOOKING FOR A SUPLEX ONTO THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING- BUT DONOVAN IS ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF MYLES’ GRASP AND LAND BACK INSIDE OF THE RING! MYLES IS ABLE TO HIT A ROPE-ASSISTED GAMENGIRI THOUGH, AND NOW MYLES RUSHES UP TO THE TOP ROPE AS DONOVAN DUKE STUMBLES BACK! DIVING METEORA!!!
James Peters: IT CONNECTS!!!! THE METEORA CONNECTS ON MYLES, BUT MYLES DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER!!! Myles takes a second to breathe, and I think Myles believes he needs one more major move to put this match away! WAIT A SECOND!!!! THERE IT IS!!! THAT’S WHY MYLES DIDN’T GO FOR THE COVER, INSTEAD HE TRANSITIONED INTO THE CHECKMAYT SUBMISSION!!!! CHECKMAYT IS LOCKED IN, AND NOW IT’S DONOVAN DUKE GETTING A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE AS HE’S THE ONE TRAPPED IN THE SUBMISSION WITH NOWHERE TO GO! DONOVAN IS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE RIGHT NOW!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN DUKE IS IN TROUBLE, AND RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE MYLES MIGHT HAVE THIS MATCH WON! DONOVAN NEEDS TO FIND A WAY OUT OF THIS ONE SOMEHOW BUT I’M NOT TOO SURE HOW THAT’LL BE POSSIBLE!! WE DON’T GET TO SEE MYLES UTILIZE THIS SUBMISSION VERY OFTEN, BUT TONIGHT MYLES BROUGHT IT OUT AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT WAS A VERY GOOD IDEA! DONOVAN DUKE MIGHT NOT HAVE MUCH LEFT IN HIM IN THIS MATCH, HE MIGHT HAVE TO TAP OUT SOON ENOUGH!!
Persephone: About time! I’ve been tired of this match since it started, I really have no patience to sit here and watch this.
James Peters: WELL, DONOVAN DUKE IS ABLE TO TURN HIMSELF OVER AND PUSH MYLES’ SHOULDERS DOWN, SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU MIGHT JUST GET YOUR WISH PERSEPHONE!
ONE!
TWO-
James Peters: NEVERMIND! MYLES GETS THE SHOULDER UP, BUT THIS ALLOWS DONOVAN TO FREE ONE OF HIS ARMS BEFORE ELBOWING MYLES IN THE FACE! Donovan Duke rolls away from Myles, and somehow he managed to escape the submission when it looked like he was actually about to lose this one! Both Elitists now rushing up to their feet-
Rich Russillo: WAIT A SECOND!!! DONOVAN DUKE WITH A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN AS HE HOLDS ONTO MYLES’ LEGS- AND NOW THERE’S THE GIANT SWING!!!! DONOVAN DUKE WITH THE GAMBLER’S ROULETTE, AND NOW THE CROWD BEGINS TO COUNT!!!!
Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN!!!
Rich Russillo: A DIZZY DONOVAN DUKE FINALLY LETS GO OF MYLES, BEFORE FINALLY DROPPING DOWN ON TOP OF HIM FOR THE COVER! THAT JUST MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO GET THE JOB DONE, I’M NOT TOO SURE IF MYLES WILL BE ABLE TO KICK OUT OF THAT ONE!!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
Persephone: I THOUGHT YOU SAID THAT WAS ENOUGH!?!
Rich Russillo: I said it might be! :whoa:
Persephone: WHY THE HELL DID HE KICK OUT!?!?
Rich Russillo: He wants to win the match! :whoa:
James Peters: Myles managed to kick out and keep this match alive, much to the shock of Donovan Duke, but Myles isn’t in the clear just yet! Donovan Duke is making his way back up to the top rope, and this match might still be coming to an end despite what we just saw from Myles! DONOVAN DIVES OFF OF THE TOP ROPE!! STACK THE DECK!!!!
Rich Russillo: MYLES GETS THE KNEES UP!!!! MYLES GOT THE KNEES UP JUST AS STACK THE DECK WAS ABOUT TO CONNECT, AND INSTEAD OF THE PHOENIX SPLASH CONNECTING DONOVAN JUST LANDED ON MYLES’ KNEES!! That was a very rough landing for Donovan Duke that just killed any momentum he had in the past few moments! I don’t know if Myles will be able to get back into this match very easily, but that was a surefire way to take Donovan out of it! We’ve talked about how skilled Donovan is inside of the ring, but the same thing applies to Myles, and he’s shown it time and time again!
James Peters: Both Elitists slowly make it back up to their feet, AND NOW MYLES RUNS AT DONOVAN DUKE- BUT DONOVAN WAS EXPECTING JUST THAT, AND DONOVAN JUMPS BACK BEFORE DELIVERING A PELE KICK!!! THAT PELE KICK DROPPED MYLES, BUT DONOVAN IS DOWN TOO AFTER HOW MUCH WIND WAS KNOCKED OUT OF HIM LANDING ON MYLES’ KNEES! Both men are down on the mat, and it looks like they’re once again on equal footing thanks to how worn out they are right now! This has been an amazing main event match thanks to these two incredibly talented men!
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke uses the ropes to slowly get back up as Myles begins to get back up on his own accord, AND NOW DONOVAN AND MYLES RUN AT EACH OTHER BEFORE BEGINNING TO FIGHT! THIS MATCH IS BECOMING A WAR AS MYLES AND DONOVAN START PUNCHING EACH OTHER, TRADING LEFTS AND RIGHTS AND TRYING TO KNOCK EACH OTHER OUT, BOTH REALIZING THAT THEY CAN’T POSSIBLY HAVE MUCH LEFT IN THE TANK! THIS MATCH HAS BECOME A BRAWL, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE PEOPLE IN THE ARENA RIGHT NOW ARE LOVING EVERY SECOND OF THAT!
Persephone: I’m not.
James Peters: It looks like Donovan Duke is gaining the upper hand! Myles tried swinging for a clothesline, but Donovan was able to duck under it before hitting Myles with a huge forearm! Donovan now going for a second one, and now a third! Donovan is unloading forearm after forearm as Myles doesn’t have a counter for it, AND NOW DONOVAN DUKE SENDS MYLES INTO THE CORNER BEFORE RUNNING IN, AND NOW DONOVAN DELIVERS A HUGE FOREARM SMASH! DONOVAN DUKE IS ON FIRE RIGHT NOW, AND THESE FANS ARE ON THEIR FEET AS THEY WATCH THIS MAIN EVENT!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN SENDS MYLES OUT OF THE CORNER, AND NOW DONOVAN DUKE BEGINS TO MAKE HIS WAY UP TO THE TOP ROPE! We’ve seen Donovan utilize aerial moves more than usual in this match, and it’s been about fifty-fifty on whether or not it’s worked out for him! Donovan looking to change that as Myles finds his way back up to his feet, AND NOW DONOVAN DIVES OFF OF THE TOP ROPE, CONNECTING WITH A PICTURE PERFECT DROPKICK THAT SENDS MYLES TO THE OTHER CORNER OF THE RING!
James Peters: Myles rolled all the way into the other corner and is forced to use the turnbuckles to get back up, and I think Donovan’s got Myles right where he wants him! Donovan Duke getting back up, AND NOW DONOVAN CHARGES IN BEFORE- KNEE!!!! MYLES JUST INTERCEPTED DONOVAN AS HE BLASTS OUT OF THE CORNER WITH A RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE, JUST ABOUT FLIPPING DONOVAN INSIDE OUT AS MYLES NEARLY KNEES HIS HEAD OFF OF HIS BODY!!! We see Myles utilize those knee strikes very often, and tonight it looks like it’s about to cause Donovan Duke’s downfall!
Persephone: Alright, well let’s get on with it, then! I don’t have all day here, I have places to be and things to do!
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke is down, meanwhile Myles is just barely standing, already dropping to a knee after his own move! That knee strike hit Donovan hard and probably took him out of this match completely! Both of these men are looking worse for wear, but at this point I don’t think Donovan is getting back into this one! Myles is slowly making it back up to his feet after catching his breath, and now it looks like he is ready to finally put the finishing touches on this match! Myles now dragging Donovan Duke up to his feet-
(‘Backseat Freestyle’ by Kendrick Lamar hits, and the crowd immediately explodes into a mixed reaction, with some confused rumblings being heard thanks to the ban put in place by Chris Elite. Nonetheless, Brian Daniels begins walking out, and Myles tries to keep his focus on Donovan Duke knowing that he has Donovan in position, but ultimately Myles knows he can’t take any chances. He looks over at the stage just to see whether or not Brian Daniels is actually there, and much to the EAW World Champion’s dismay, he is.)
James Peters: WHAT??? WHY IS BRIAN DANIELS HERE??? I THOUGHT INTERFERENCES WERE BANNED ON VOLTAGE!!!!
Rich Russillo: They are, but I guess Brian Daniels hasn’t done anything yet so it doesn’t count! Chris Elite made it clear that he was banning interferences, not appearances at ringside altogether!
James Peters: A loophole, Brian Daniels is out here thanks to a loophole!
Persephone: Well I don’t want him here anyway so can we like just ban him completely? Get rid of him!
Myles: (off-mic) :wtf: Why?? Why the hell are you here?!
Brian Daniels: (off-mic) Just watching.
James Peters: Brian Daniels says that he’s just watching, but I don’t know how much we should really believe that! Nonetheless Myles quickly shakes his head before turning back to Donovan- WAIT A SECOND!!!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN DUKE HAD JUST ENOUGH STRENGTH LEFT IN HIM TO SUDDENLY LIFT MYLES UP INTO THE FIREMAN’S CARRY, AND NOW THERE’S THE DUKE OF HAZARD!!!! MYLES ONLY HAD HIS BACK TURNED FOR SECONDS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THAT WAS JUST ENOUGH TIME!!! THE DUKE OF HAZARD CONNECTS THANKS TO BRIAN DANIELS’ DISTRACTION, AND THANKS TO THAT LITTLE LOOPHOLE IN THE INTERFERENCE BAN, DONOVAN DUKE MIGHT JUST PULL OFF AN UPSET HERE!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION, DOOONNOOVVAANNNN DDUUUUUUKKKKEEEE!!!!!
James Peters: Donovan Duke picks up the victory, all because Myles took his eyes off of the prize for a few crucial seconds!! Times like this is why Myles always tries to keep his head in the game at all times! Brian Daniels might have gotten into Myles’ head just a bit, and Myles even giving Donovan the slightest bit of time to recover cost him the match!
Rich Russillo: It’s a mistake most people, if not everyone would have made in the exact same situation. Brian coming out here was very confusing for Myles knowing the interference ban, but technically Brian didn’t interfere at all!
Persephone: Only losers lose like that. Rexy would never go out like an idiot the same way Myles did tonight.
James Peters: I guess we’ll never know. It looks like tonight is Donovan Duke’s night though, even if I’m not too sure how he feels winning partially thanks to Brian Daniels’ involvement!
(‘The Outsiders’ begins to play, and Donovan Duke slowly sits up, still having not fully recovered from that devastating knee strike. Donovan slowly gets back to his feet, and as he looks out to ringside and sees Brian Daniels, Donovan doesn’t look super amused. Nonetheless, Donovan’s hand is raised by the referee, before having his National Elite Championship handed to him. Brian Daniels can be seen watching as Myles slowly pulls himself to the corner of the ring, both hurt and pissed off, and as Donovan Duke makes his way out of the ring, Voltage fades out for the final time.)
