(EAW intro plays.)
(A recap is shown of last week’s Voltage, with Major Michael Scott Connor, Mei Sasaki, Roberto De La Rosa, Jamie O’Hara, and Cameron Ella Ava are seen racking up victories. Other confrontations are seen throughout the night as well, such as Champagne Charlie and TLA getting into a brawl, Jack Ripley having a sit-down interview with Sofia Clarke, POTARA being certain that their titles are not going anywhere, and Drake King laying out all his challengers for the EAW World Championship to end the show.)
(‘33rd Blakk Glass’ by ZilaKami & SosMula is heard playing, and pyro shoots out from the stage as the fans in the Auvenir Centre in Moncton, New Brunswick are all heard cheering. Before long, the camera transitions over to the commentary table, where James Peters, Rich Russillo and Persephone are seen.)
Rich Russillo: WELCOME-
Persephone: TO SUNDAY NIGHT VOLTAGE! WOO BLOODSPORT! Great so let’s speed this up so we can get through this night…
James Peters: Well we do have a great show for you tonight that we’re excited to get into! Juggalo Sally faces Jamie Cross! Dr. Bethany Blue is against Sierra Everett! A huge Unique Opportunity six-man tag team match! Jack Ripley and Charlie Marr revive their bitter rivalry! Donovan Duke faces 24/7 Contract holder Roberto De La Rosa! Hardcore Champion TLA faces Cameron Ella Ava! Then in your main event, EAW World Champion Drake King is in action as he faces-
Persephone: REX MCALLISTERLDKSLKDNLSNDLSLDKN! LET’S GET INTO IT!
( ‘CRAZY NOISY BIZARRE TOWN by THE DU and EDM begins to play throughout the arena to a solid mix of boos and confused cheers, with the woman known as Juggalo Sally walking out onto Voltage in rainbow attire, primarily blue and pink. She dons clown face paint and certainly a weird walk onto stage, some of the fans in the audience certainly into it, whilst others, rather, not so much. Sally quickly entered the ring, sliding through the bottom rope as she got back up to her feet; teasing some of the kids in the front row, as oddly enough – they began crying! Before sliding into her corner, huge grin on her face as she awaited her opponent. )
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST…. BILLED FROM BIZARRE TOWN! WEIGHING IN AT 137 POUNDS… SHE IS THE ‘SPECIAL GIRL’ …. JUGGGAAALLLLOOOOOO SALLLLLLYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: I hate clowns.
James Peters: Really? Well I know what I’m doing for the Halloween episode of Voltage!
Persephone: EUGH, Don’t you DARE, I will GLADLY call out sick!
Rich Russillo: Mhm, just make sure you don’t let Sally hear you don’t like her, because trust me, I don’t think you’d need an excuse to call out if she senses some sort of disrespect. :ufdup:
Persephone: I think I would genuinely rather scale a pit full of snakes than get into any altercation with Juggalo Sally… SHE GIVES ME THE SPINE SHIVERS, HEAVY.
James Peters: Well that’s a pretty easy trade off, scaling over a pit of your relatives is a decently easy task!
Persephone: :mjpls:
James Peters: :mjgrin:
(‘Anti-Hero (Rock Version)’ by Taylor Swift hits, and this causes cheers to come from the crowd as Jamie Cross walks out to the stage. Jamie has a smile on her face, seemingly prepared for the upcoming match, and as she makes her way to the ring she locks eyes with Juggalo Sally, slowly nodding to her as she greeted her opponent tonight; before backing into her corner, awaiting the bell. )
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… From Chicago, Illinois… Weighing in at 133 pounds… JAAAAMMIIIIEEEEE CRRROOOOSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
James Peters: And Juggalo’s opponent tonight who hopefully doesn’t share the same phobia’s as Persephone; Jamie Cross! A woman looking for a bit of a momentum boost heading into her match against Milli Banks for the Specialist’s Championship at Bloodsport; with all the possibilities of what a win here could do to not only BOOST Jamie’s confidence, but also lower Milli’s…
Rich Russillo: That’s right James, a win here is VITAL for Jamie Cross. She needs that edge, and as she opens up Voltage tonight; I know she can make good of this opportunity and take down Sally!
Persephone: Orrrr, Sally beats her and claims her spot as Number One Contender for Milli Banks’s title? Y’know, I like to make things interesting. :mjgrin:
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
James Peters: And we are underway in the OPENING match of Tonight’s Episode of Voltage; as both Juggalo Sally and Jamie Cross look to set this night off with a bang in Singles Action, as both competitors begin to make their way towards the center of the ring!
Persephone: Look, Voltage could’ve done better here with our opening match; don’t get me wrong, Jamie Cross and Juggalo Sally are two rising stars, but the opening is supposed to have that PAZAZZ! Juggalo and Jamie will have to outperform here if they want to appease people like me.
Rich Russillo: Strict critics who can never be satisfied unless they get a specific thing; ala, Rex McAllister? :comeagain:
Persephone: :mjpls:
James Peters: I think BOTH Elitists in the ring can set this night off with a bang, and it looks like they are! Juggalo pushing the pace as she SHOVES back Jamie Cross, looking to ignite a bit of a spark between herself and her opponent!
Persephone: Hold on – disrespect? This match might be better than I expected, because disrespect leads to anger, and anger leads to – BANG! JAMIE SHOVING JUGGALO RIGHT BACK! If we’re lucky, at this right one of them might slap the other; this is what we LIKE to see!
Rich Russillo: Though it seems like Sally just wants to flow with the momentum of Jamie’s shove, backing up to the ropes before rebounding off; AND BOUNCING INTO JAMIE WITH A FULL BODY PRESS; the weight of Juggalo colliding against Jamie as Cross is sent back into the ropes herself!
James Peters: Though it seems like Jamie Cross isn’t staggered, if anything; she’s doing what Sally was, with WAY more momentum; as Cross comes off the ropes and SLAMS into Juggalo, sending her flying backwards back into the ropes; with Sally trying to keep this crash course running, barreling towards Jamie though this time with an arm out for a lariat, AND JAMIE DUCKS IT!
Persephone: Quick movements for the next Challenger for the Specialist’s Championship, as Sally is forced to keep the momentum going; rebounding off the ropes again – RIGHT INTO A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT FROM JAMIE CROSS!!
Rich Russillo: Jamie not letting up on Juggalo though, as Sally SOMEHOW manages to stay on her feet after the Uppercut, though staggered still; with Jamie getting a moment to add onto her offense, grabbing around Juggalo; BEFORE FORCING HER DOWN WITH A LARIAT ONTO HER KNEE!!!
Persephone: Certainly a way to down her opponent, as Jamie looks to take down Juggalo quickly here, as Jamie posts herself in the corner, waiting for Juggalo to get up to a knee – AND JAMIE IS LOOKING FOR THAT ‘SILVER KNEE’ EARLY —
Rich Russillo: BUT SALLY DUCKS THE KNEE! Jamie’s leg flying over Sally as she staggers herself; trying to control her momentum as she turns around – RIGHT INTO A BIG TACKLE FROM SALLY, DOWNING CROSS AS SALLY SHOOTS LEFTS AND RIGHTS ONTO THE FACE OF CROSS, UNBEARABLE SHOTS ONTO THE IRONWOMAN!
James Peters: And she’s trying to cover up, though she doesn’t need to for long as Sally finally dismounts her; Juggalo seeming to take some control early, Jamie just getting a little too overzealous trying for her signature early; as Sally looks to take advantage of that fact, dragging Jamie towards the corner, and just as she’s positioned perfectly Sally begins to scale the ropes – BEFORE COMING DOWN ONTO CROSS WITH A MIDDLE ROPE SPLASH INTO HER MIDSECTION, DIRECTLY INTO THE COVER!!
OOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
T–
Persephone: AND A KICKOUT FROM JAMIE! A quick one at that, as Juggalo is forced off of her; Sally moving away momentarily before circling back and grabbing Jamie up by her hair; Cross being forced back onto her feet as Sally SLINGS her into the ropes, Sally looking to catch her off the rebound with a Spear here – OH, BUT JAMIE COUNTERING THE SPEAR DIRECTLY INTO A PEDIGREE!!!!
Rich Russillo: Beautiful counter from Jamie there, switching momentum almost as quickly as she gained it earlier; though hopefully this time she conserves it better, as Jamie doesn’t go for the quick pin; moving fast as she finds the ropes aside her, running forward; BUT INSTEAD OF REBOUNDING SHE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE INTO A MOONSAULT TO CONNECT ON JUGGALO’S GUT!
James Peters: And she’s still going, Rich! Like a women possessed, Jamie is trying to DISMANTLE Sally; RUNNING to the corner as she leaps from the middle turnbuckle to the top, turning to face where Sally is laid out in a disoriented state; Cross’s sites set – AND A CORKSCREW SPLASH LANDS PERFECTLY ONTO JUGGALO SALLY FROM JAMIE CROSS, AND HERE IS THE PIN ATTEMPT SHE WAITED ON!!!
OOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
James Peters: AND A KICKOUT FROM SALLY! Jamie not winning just yet as Juggalo Sally has more in the tank than that to give up early, as Cross is forced to do a little re-coop and figure out a new plan; as Jamie gets herself back to her feet, Juggalo following almost as fast to a kneeling position surprisingly after the attack Jamie led onto her; as Cross lined herself up behind Sally… AND JAMIE WITH A DROPKICK ONTO THE BACK OF SALLY, BLASTING HER FORWARD INTO THE MIDDLE ROPE, DRAPING HER ACROSS IT!!!
Rich Russillo: And it’s a vulnerable position here now for Sally, as Jamie is lining herself up for something pierce; rebounding off the adjacent ropes from Juggalo – AND A TIGER FEINT KICK FROM JAMIE BLASTS SALLY OFF THE ROPES, BACKWARDS TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE RING; BUT SOMEHOW, SALLY IS STILL ON HER FEET!
Persephone: AND JAMIE SEES IT! Now on the apron as she notices Sally still managing to stay on her feet, it looks like Cross is going big here; JUMPING UP AND SPRINGBOARDING OFF THE TOP ROPE, SIGHTS SET ON SALLY FOR THE HURRICANRANA… AND SHE HOOKS THE LEGS AROUND SALLY’S HEAD; SALLY’S GOING FOR A TRIP –
Rich Russillo: NO! SALLY MANAGED TO BALANCE HER WEIGHT AND JAMIE’S OWN AS SHE STABILIZES HERSELF ON THE GROUND, JAMIE’S LEGS STILL HOOKED ON SALLY’S NECK AS SHE BEGINS TO GET MUSCLED UP BY JUGGALO; AND REVERSED DIRECTLY INTO AN ELECTRIC CHAIR POSITION!
James Peters: Juggalo is a BEAST! Catching Cross directly into a treacherous position, and this does NOT look promising for Jamie as Juggalo Sally looks to know EXACTLY what she’s doing – AND JAMIE CRASHES DOWN VIA THE ELECTRIC CHAIR FACEBUSTER OF SALLY, ‘THE NEDEN GAME’ CONNECTING AS CROSS IS TRANSFERRED RIGHT INTO THE COVER; THIS COULD BE IT, THIS MATCH COULD BE OVER!!!!
OOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHH–
Persephone: AND A KICKOUT FROM JAMIE!!!!
Rich Russillo: Valiance from Jamie Cross here, kicking out of the Electric Chair Face Buster; as Sally is left to turn directly towards that same drawing board Jamie was at earlier; finding herself in a position to be fruitful here and continue to work on Jamie, or squander it in the heat of a kickout!
James Peters: And squandering doesn’t look like option A on her board here, Rich; she wants to WIN tonight! And that’s made evident here as without a moments notice, Juggalo wraps both arms around the waist of Jamie, willing both herself AND Cross u to their feet – BEFORE SLAMMING CROSS DOWN WITH A VICIOUS GERMAN SUPLEX!
Persephone: And she hasn’t let go yet, we’re bound to see another here as Sally rolls over, Jamie still in her grasps as she looks to turn the page for another – CRASH GERMAN SUPLEX!!! SALLY LANDING TWO KNOW, AND YOU KNOW THE KINK EVERY ELITIST HAS IN THIS COMPANY GUYS; CAN’T END ON AN EVEN NUMBER, YOU’VE GOT TO GO FOR THREE!
James Peters: And it looks like you might be right on that, as Juggalo now begins to WILL up Jamie Cross once more; a firm grasp still on her waist as there seems to be no fight left in Jamie… BEFORE CRASHING DOWN WITH THE TRIFECTA OF GERMAN SUPLEXES, ALL ONTO JAMIE CROSS WHO SALLY FINALLY LETS GO OF, AS SALLY LOOKS FOR THE COVER HERE TO WIN!!!
OOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Rich Russillo: AND ANOTHER KICKOUT!!! Sally UNABLE to put away Jamie here, as the irritation is SHROUDED over the cackling of Sally; who is somehow ENJOYING the resilience of Jamie? :comeagain:
Persephone: No, no; clowns laugh at ANYTHING. I think what this DOES mean is that she’s pissed, and now Jamie’s going to see the wrath of that!
James Peters: Perse’ might be right here, becomes those eyes are NOT of a happy clown! Sally slowly getting up as she is BECKONING Jamie to get up with her, Cross slowly beginning to follow suite as Juggalo Sally might be closing in on a win here…
Persephone: JAMIE FINALLY GETTING UP, AS SALLY COMES FORWARD – ‘EXPLOSIVE PINK SHOCK’, THE SUPER KICK…
…
Persephone: DOESN’T CONNECT, JAMIE BARELY EVADED IT!!! Jamie allowing the superkick to go pasther as Sally has to take the time to replant her feet, Cross without a little opening here now that she NEEDS to take – AND A RISING KNEE IS PROGRESS FOR JAMIE HERE, AS SHE NAILS SALLY WITH IT!
Rich Russillo: That knee connecting PERFECTLY against the jaw of Juggalo, but again, Sally has YET to make it easy for Jamie to take her down; as all Sally could do after that knee is stumble backwards into the ropes; wobbling back towards Jamie – INTO A SUPERKICK OF JAMIE’S OWN!!!
James Peters: And Sally STILL somehow on her feet after the Superkick, going right back into the ropes; though her steps don’t seem as sure, Cross only needing ONE good move to take Sally down… AND JAMIE DOES IT; WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK LAYERING AMONGST HER OFFENSE TO FINALLY FLOOR SALLY FOR WHAT FEELS LIKE IT COULD BE A LONG TIME, IN THIS MATCH UP!
Persephone: This is EXACTLY what Jamie needed, and she’s looking to take FULL advantage of the situation here; as Jamie makes her way out of the ring quickly; transferring herself onto the apron and she is sticking to her guns; knowing EXACTLY what she’s looking for as Sally slowly begins to rise, Cross lying in the wings; waiting to take down her opponent…
Rich Russillo: AND JAMIE CROSS THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE THE MOMENT SALLY GETS TO HER FEET, CROSS LIKE A BULLET IN THE AIR — AND HER SLINGSHOT SPEAR BLASTS INTO SALLY!!!! THAT SIGNATURE SPEAR OF HERS CAUSING A CRASH COURSE COLLISION, AS SALLY IS TAKEN DOWN; AND JAMIE GOES FOR A QUICK COVER!!!!
OOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE—
James Peters: AND YET, NO MATTER WHAT; SALLY MANAGES TO KICK OUT!!
Persephone: SHE IS A WOMAN POSSESSED… AND SHE ALSO IS DOING VERY GOOD IN THIS MATCH-UP, WHAT A KICKOUT!
Rich Russillo: Jamie seems to be in a bit of disarray here; SHOCKED that Sally managed to kick out, as she HAS to find a new plan; though I think that plan is going to be quite easy to find, as Sally is planted in the middle of the ring; and she KNOWS what she wants to do here!
Persephone: Exactly, Jamie is going right to the corner; STALKING her opponent as she beckons Sally to her knees, she might be looking for that knee again, and my senses are NEVER wrong! As Sally now, slowly beginning to stir; it just being up to Jamie not to pick her spot wisely… AND THERE SHE GOES, RUNNING OUT OF THE CORNER LOOKING TO CONNECT THAT ‘SILVER KNEE’ –
James Peters: DENIED BY JUGGALO SALLY WHO EVADES AT THE VERY LAST SECOND, A REBUTTAL FROM SALLY WHO SHOOTS UP TO HER FEET; RUNNING THE ROPES AS JAMIE IS STAGGERED, HOPING TO CATCH CROSS OFF GUARD HERE WITH A BODY SLAM –
Rich Russillo: NO! BUT A ROLLING ELBOW FROM JAMIE CROSS COLLIDES AGAINST THE JAW OF JUGGALO SALLY, ALMOST SLUMPING HER TO THE MAT OFF IMPACT; AS JAMIE IS LOOKING TO HOOK AROUND JUGGALO, SHE’S GOT HER ACE OUT OF HER SLEEVE AND IS LOOKING TO USE IT HERE —
Persephone: ‘ ARC REEACCCTORRRR!!!!! ‘ THE ARC REACTOR CONNECTS ONTO JUGGALO SALLY WHO FALLS TO THE MAT, AS JAMIE CROSS SHOOTS THE HALF AND MAKES THE COVER!!!
OOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. ‘THE IRONWOMAN’, JAMIEEEE CROSSSSSSS!!!!!
( As Jamie Cross got off the body of Juggalo Sally, ‘Anti-Hero ( Taylor’s Version ) ‘ began to play through the speakers; as her hand was raised in victory by the referee, Jamie picking up the victory tonight against a very game Juggalo Sally, who began to roll out the ring to be cared and tended to by the referee’s; Jamie slowly lowering her hands, separating from the referee as she put her hands on her knees as she took a breather. )
Persephone: Eh, maybe I was a little wrong. These two put on a fairly decent opener; which ended with Jamie Cross picking up the win against Juggalo Sally with her ‘Arc Reactor’ finisher. I’m glad it didn’t last any longer than that though, or else I would’ve changed my mind.
Rich Russillo: I was always one to stay on the belief that these two could put on a WONDERFUL opener for what is set to be a GREAT Episode of Voltage tonight.
James Peters: And we implore you all to check out EAWTickets.com, to get ALL of your ticketing needs sorted for Bloodsport; the OFFICIAL branded Marquee Event for the Yellow Brand, HOME, of Jamie Cross; as we take a moment to go to commercial, we will be back right after this!–
( Though Suddenly, “Changed It’ Hits. )
Persephone: Oh boy, here we go… AGAIN…
Rich Russillo: Well it’s not a surprise here tonight that Milli would want to get and up close look on Jamie Cross as she has for the past few weeks both on her home brand, and here on Voltage; the Champion simply can not get enough!
( And on cue, Milli Banks came out of the titantron’s opening; and thankfully enough for Jamie? It didn’t seem like she was dressed for a fight, wearing heels to accent a gorgeous light blue body suit, but the most important accessory on hand was a microphone; as Milli wore a huge grin on her face, Specialists Championship glimmering on her waist as she vibed out to her theme for a moment, before stopping; calling for her music to be cut as ‘Changed It’ faded out, Milli raising the microphone up as she stared down Jamie Cross; who seemed particularly confused in the ring as she leaned against the ropes. )
Milli Banks: I’ll give it to you, Jamie; you did good – in fact, I applaud you performance tonight! Truly, you must’ve done your research on Juggalo Sally the way you handled her tonight… Research.
( Milli said, pausing on that word; as she walked down the ramp slowly. )
Milli Banks: See, my problem here Jamie is, you seem to find a lot of time to do all this research on your opponents; but you haven’t put the time in to learn what a Taipei Deathmatch is? :comeagain:
( In the ring, Jamie shrugged, sighing as she clearly wasn’t in the mood for another back and forth. )
Milli Banks: Girlie . . . I know you can do better than this! I mean how do you think you can handle a responsibility like becoming Specialist’s Champion, if you can’t even spend the time doing your due diligence and learn about these sort of stipulations ahead of our MATCH? Look, I know it’s a bit out of the norm’, but if you aren’t willing to get ready to even TRY to take this Championship out of my hands, or off my waist? Then as I said a few weeks ago, don’t show up – PERIOD. If you want a little schooling session though, I guess as the locker-room leader I am, will provide you with a little helping hand! You’re welcome.
( Milli said, smirking as Jamie Cross tried to get a microphone for herself from the outside officials. )
Milli Banks: See, a Taipei Deathmatch is where both competitors in the match glue or tape glass shards onto their fist, and brawl it out; just. Like. That. Really, it’s that simple; a google search could’ve saved you these few minutes if all you did was put the effort in, but you didn’t, Jamie! It shows, that you never really do.
Jamie Cross: Hold on, Hold on, Hold on… We’re gluing glass shards to our fists!?
( Milli rolled her eyes at Jamie’s response, who seemed a little more focused on the grueling nature of the match type than the point Milli was trying to make.)
Milli Banks: You don’t get it, do you? The whole POINT I am trying to make? I just don’t understand you, Jamie. But you know what? No need to understand someone who I am going to make but a number on my reign REGARDLESS. You’ll learn, Jamie; you’ll come to understand that going the extra mile is a NECESSITY in EAW. You don’t get to where I am right now by just doing the bare minimum, you have to EXCEED expectations; and you have to go BEYOND what you think you can do. If you aren’t ready to do that? I’m sure you know where the door is.
( Milli said, making it to the end of the ramp as Jamie backed up, giving her space to enter the ring; though she didn’t look too pleased with Banks being out here in the first place. )
Jamie Cross: Milli… What is the point of this? ANY of this? I mean I can appreciate you waiting until I was done with my match, but even so… Why? I am tired, Milli. Tired to the point that right now getting into this altercation isn’t my main focus, I just want to leave the arena for the night and hang out with Madison, so if you could please allow me that pleasure? That’d be great.
Jamie Cross: Because guess what, Milli? I know now. I know the stipulation, and it doesn’t change how I felt BEFORE you came out here. Was I supposed to be able to prepare for glass to be hooked onto my hand? Is there a crash course I could run on youtube for that? Should I punch a wall with glass shards taped preemptively to get used to the pain, and come to our match at Bloodsport with scarred hands? You keep finding these excuses to belittle me, and I just think honestly? It might just be in an effort to get your punches in now, because you’re scared of me taking your title.
( Milli shook her head, sighing as she turned to walk up the steel steps, heading onto the apron. )
MIlli Banks: Why would I be scared of you? Jamie, I have faced way tougher opponents than you, and that is quite literally just a fact. It’s not an act of me being scared, it’s me being a good person and wanting to HELP you reach the next level. Take that next jump into being something BETTER. That’s what you’re here for, right? For titles, for legacy, for fame – but in the midst of it you want to be GREAT. Same here, hun’; but if you aren’t willing to take the advice given to you and victimize yourself when you don’t feel respected enough? You’re bound to fail.
( Jamie bit down on her bottom lip, tapping her foot as she was clearly getting a bit irritated; though she shook her head, dis-engagnig. )
Jamie Cross: Stop it, Milli. If you want to help me? I have a phone. We could’ve met backstage, but you just so happened to want to do it here, and now? Right after my victory which I couldn’t even celebrate to the fullest? You’re a liar. You wanted to embarrass me in front of the entire arena to make YOURSELF look better! I’m not dodging criticism, I’ve taken it before and adjusted myself to it; but I’m not going to let you sort certain bullying into the same category as you working on the betterment of my career, I don’t think so.
( Milli stepped through the ropes, unamused to Jamie’s response as the two stared each other down for the moment. )
Milli Banks: Is that what you think, that I want to bully you?
Jamie Cross: It sure feels like it.
( Milli sighed once more. )
Milli Banks: Then I’m sorry you feel that way, but I’m not sorry that you simply are unable to take my help seriously without dramatizing it.
Jamie Cross: Dramatizing? Milli, c’mon we’re both adults here – grow up.
Milli Banks: Grow up? You know what, fine – I’ll grow up.
( Milli said, nodding in agreement for a moment; admitting certain surrender as she turned around, looking as if she was going to exit the ring – )
Persephone: OH MY, IT LOOKS LIKE MILLI’S GOING FOR THAT RUNNING KNEE AGAIN, “NO FAKE BILLS HERE” OUT OF NOWHERE, AND IT’S GOING TO COLLIDE AGAINST JAMIE CROSS FOR THE SECOND TIME —
James Peters: NO, JAMIE HAD IT SCOUTED!!! Milli shocked as her knee missed wildly, Milli spinning back towards Jamie but those heels are doing NO favors; AS CROSS GETS AHOLD OF BANKS WHO IS TRYING TO GAIN CONTROL OF HERSELF, WRAPPING AROUND HER –
Rich Russillo: ‘ ARC REACTOR!!!!! ‘ THE ARC REACTOR TO MILLI BANKS AS SHE FALLS TO THE MAT… AND GUYS, I THINK SHE’S OUT COLD! MILLI ISN’T MOVING!!
( The hard-cam zoomed in on Milli who DROPPED to the mat, eyes closed shut from Jamie’s finishing maneuver; as Cross popped back up to her feet in the ring, looming over Milli Banks as she stared down her unconscious Bloodsport opponent, tensions RISING as Jamie Cross one-up’d Milli in that moment; as ‘Anti-Hero’ blasted through the speakers; Jamie shaking her head at Milli Banks as she slowly exited the ring, with the camera’s continuing to highlight the downfall of Milli after her failed attack, with the broadcast slowly beginning to cut out in transition to a brief commercial break. )
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where Milli Banks and Jamie Cross compete in a Taipei Deathmatch for the Specialists Championship.)
(Moments later as the first bout of the night slowly comes to a close, fading away from the commercial break that the bout precedes, we begin to fade back to the Auvenir Centre, in Moncton, New Brunswick. The camera facing down at the stage, we hear a familiar voice speak through the sound boxes.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, please give it up for the Voltage Commissioner…
(The crowd immediately cheers.)
Bella Braxton: CAPTAIN CHARISMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The cheers only begin to rise, like smoke from a fire, as they get louder and louder until their eventual peak, as EAW Hall of Famer, and Voltage Commissioner Captain Charisma’s name is called out through the speaker system. The Voltage fans are still just as excited to hear his name called out, despite him being a prevalent part of the shows for the past few weeks. Additionally, they’re equally as excited for what resides in the ring – the Bloodsport Wheel of Death. Ominously standing tall, facing the hardcam like a sunflower does east. Captain Charisma would once more step out through the curtains, as he begins to make his way down to the ring.)
James Peters: The Voltage Commissioner; the man who has spun the wheel time and time again; the man who will do it AGAIN tonight! Every single time that wheel is brought out to the ring, it radiates a different energy. Finding out what stipulation each match will be, not by decision, but by mere fate, by chance – it’s exhilarating. NOBODY knows what comes next, not even Captain Charisma. Usually these Elitists could decide a stipulation, or CC himself, yet here? It is quite literally left up to fate. Is it your destiny for a Taipei Deathmatch? Is it your destiny for a Sadistic Madness? Those are questions we have had answers to the past few weeks, but there are still so many endless options, that even when they’re shaved down… there’s still much more to be explored!
(Captain Charisma would begin to walk up the steel steps, one by one, as his eyes are fixated on the Wheel of Death, much like everybody else. They haven’t left it, not one bit. If anything, that’s been all he sees. As Captain Charisma enters the ring, he would begin to approach the Wheel of Death. Standing next to it, he waits for the crowd to die down ever so slightly, reading off each and every stipulation in his head. Eventually, he begins to lift the microphone up to his lips.)
Captain Charisma: As the weeks tick down to Bloodsport on August 19th, the more of these stipulations we will begin to see come to fruition. There are so many on here, so many plausible options, none of which I will read out loud. Because you and I all know how much better it is just seeing text. Practically a scribble to many of those at home. Yet it doesn’t matter. Because despite those days ticking down, despite these stipulations slowly, and slowly being crossed out, there are still many, many stipulations to be chosen. Tonight is no different.
(The crowd cheers.)
Captain Charisma: Tonight, one of the most anticipated matches coming up at Bloodsport will see a stipulation chosen. A match between a Hall of Famer, an extremely accomplished Elitist, and a future Hall of Famer, someone whose accolades are akin to that of said Hall of Famer’s. That match, of course, being Rex McAllister versus Minerva. Two all time greats. Two of the best we have ever seen. Two Elitists that well and truly define the Voltage brand, and have been mainstays for YEARS. So, allow me to introduce the two of them… First… he is a three time World Champion… inducted in the Hall of Fame class of 2020… ‘THE LIONHEART’… REEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXMCCCCCAAAAAAAAAAAALLISSSSSSSSSTEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!
(‘Stronger (salu remix)’ by The Score would begin to blare through the speaker system, as the entire crowd goes ballistic. The Hall of Fame Elitist makes his way out through the curtains, dressed in a t-shirt, jeans and tennis shoes, sporting the merchandise of his wife Raven Roberts, two names so closely attached to Voltage. Rex eventually makes his way up the steel steps, as he joins Captain Charisma at the side of the Wheel of Death. Eventually, his theme fades out.)
Captain Charisma: Next… she is a two-time World Champion… multi-time Pain For Pride main eventer… winner of the Barbed Wire Massacre VIII… MIIIIIIIIIIINEEEEEEEEEERVVVVVVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ by White Zombie would begin to blare through the sound system, as the crowd would too cheer for Minerva. Rex McAllister would stand patiently in the ring, as Minerva would make her way out through the curtains. A rose in her mouth, she has her eyes fixated on Rex. Not the Wheel of Death. Not the Commissioner. Her opponent. She knew what she was getting herself in for, there was no surprise for her no matter what. As she made her way up the steel steps, she entered the ring, to stand next to Captain Charisma.)
Captain Charisma: Now, I know the two of you are eager to get at one another’s throats, and perhaps even more eager to find out what your stipulation will be, because you are both determined for this victory. And I will get to that in just a minute. However, the two of you have microphones for a reason. I’d like you two to discuss your feelings about one another before we truly find out what the match is.
Minerva: Fine by me.
Rex McAllister: No complaints here.
(CC would nod, as he steps back momentarily.)
Rex McAllister: Okay, Minerva. I understand what’s going on here. I understand how heated you are, how raring to go you are. I get it. As I said last week, I never needed any message to understand this, but I’d like YOU to understand that I understand, if that means anything to you. That message, truthfully, meant nothing to me, as I already know what you’re capable of, and thus far, have yet to back down. You’ve thrown so much at me, many points proven, impassioned speeches made, and brawls followed up on. Whether you like it or not, however, that has only pushed me forward. I’m back. I’m not just here for a cash grab, I’m not just here to get some extra television time because I was sitting on my couch feeling as if the constant attention in my life was missing; the itch in my veins that I had to scratch was professional wrestling, and the grind that comes along with it. I’m going to put the work in, Minerva. I’m going to enter the grind. Like it or not, that doesn’t have any good repercussions for you, that is just going to be the loss you have been dreading for quite some time. I need to be at my best, and handing a loss of that stature to someone like yourself, it takes me a long way. A longer way than you could ever imagine. Because you didn’t stop the grind, right? You never had to begin to feel it all over again. You’ve been here, I haven’t. That makes my will to win 10 times stronger.
Rex McAllister: It’s been a while since I’ve been back full time. This is my very first marquee as a full time Elitist since Pain For Pride two years ago, and even then, I was still relatively on and off for a few months. This is my first marquee for a full season, zero breaks, since Pain For Pride THREE years ago. Yet the past few weeks should tell you everything you need to know. Look at this. Look at the wheel. Look at the wheel that so many people dread. The embodiment of the Bloodsport event. This will not be the final time Rex McAllister spins this wheel. This will not be the final time that Rex McAllister is stood next to this wheel. This will not be the final time that Rex McAllister is featured on the Bloodsport event. Nor will it be the first. It’s been quite a while, but I’m ready. I’m ready to compete full time. I’m ready to make even more of these memorable matches that I have created for years upon years upon years of my career. Just as I did quite some time ago. Matches that featured some of the most dangerous stipulations EAW has ever seen. This is what I am BUILT for.
(Rex McAllister finishes, as he lowers his microphone. Minerva nods her head.)
Minerva: I get it. Truly, Rex, I do. The two of us, we have something to prove, but we know just how good one another is. It’s funny, isn’t it? We’re naturally designed to do this, the both of us. To remind one another of what we already know, because we KNOW how dangerous it’s going to be for the both of us. So I hope you know this; you don’t just win matches like I did against Jamie O’Hara at Pain For Pride if you’re not capable of matches like THESE. Overcoming the worst threats possible. You don’t win Barbed Wire Massacre, unprepared for something like this. I was ready, long ago. I hardly even care what this Wheel of Death lands on, frankly, I barely even acknowledge its existence. Because I am more than ready for what it lands on. I am more than ready for what stipulation is brought our way. I am more than ready to taste the sickening iron in my mouth, I am more than ready to make you do the exact same thing. You don’t have the type of career I’ve had for the past few years, just to lose something like this. You want to be better, but not at my expense. I want the same thing.
Minerva: Cementing my role as the top Elitist on this brand comes at the hands of beating you, in a stipulation befitting of this match up. Whatever it is, I don’t mind. Because, honestly? The important thing here is you. Not the match. Not the stipulation. You. I want you at your best. I do. I want you better than ever. Bring an energy you know can PROVE that you’re the best, and I hope to god that somebody has placed a magnet under the most dangerous stipulation on this board, GIVE me the toughest match that there is… because despite you being better than ever, despite you being at your peak, despite this being the toughest thing imaginable; you have been away for years, only now just returning, and in that timespan, I have not slowed down one bit. I have gone faster, and faster, and faster. I haven’t just become one of the very best this company has to offer, Rex, I’ve also become one of the most dangerous. You claim to know that very well, and maybe you do. But you haven’t seen, PHYSICALLY seen the half of it. You cannot visualize nor fathom the lengths I will go to. You can perhaps imagine, perhaps dream it. But you have not seen any example yet.
(Minerva would drop the microphone, as she stares directly into Rex’s eyes, the fire from her glare piercing Rex if he were any other man, but he glares back, with the same fire and passion inside of him. Minerva grins. This is what she wanted. ‘The Elitist.’)
Captain Charisma: Well then, perhaps it’s time to set this in stone…
(Captain Charisma approaches the wheel, as Rex and Minerva don’t lay their eyes off one another. CC looks at them for a second, confused, before he spins it…)
(…)
(…)
(…)
Captain Charisma: …RAZORWIRE HELL!!!!
(Immediately, the crowd roar. This… sounds interesting. This… sounds brutal. Minerva and Rex just smile.)
Captain Charisma: This one had always caught my eye. This one I was interested in. Unfortunately, I don’t have the information for you all yet, but I will soon. I am none more excited for this than you are! Especially with Rex and Minerva in the forefront of it all!!!
(Minerva and Rex do not ONCE look at the wheel. The two visually challenge one another, refusing to back down. The battle of the best, a true Paramount War boiling between the two. The staredown not yet ending.)
(As the camera pans outward, we begin to fade into a commercial break.)
(Commercial for Travis Scott’s album “Utopia” with Andre Walker, as well as Ronan Malosi who is seen listening to it to follow in his Kaiser’s footsteps.)
(Voltage returns to ringside, and the fans cheer loudly while ‘Tot Musica’ by Ado is heard playing. During this, the Unified Tag Team Champions Harper Lee and Holly Arrow are seen seated at the commentary table. They both have headsets on, and are wearing their Championships around their waists.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… PLEASE WELCOME THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… HOLLY ARROW AND HARPER LEE, POTARA!!!!
James Peters: Holly, Harper, thank you two for joining us tonight.
Holly Arrow: No problem. Given everything that’s happened in the past month, it’s only right that we showed up. We weren’t going to miss a match like this.
Harper Lee: Right? OBA’s having a match on Voltage and you thought we wouldn’t be there? Not a chance.
(‘Soundtrack 2 My Life’ by Kid Cudi hits to loud cheers from the crowd. Alex Myers walks out with a focused look on their face, and they don’t walk all the way down the ramp. Instead they stop at the end of the stage and the start of the ramp, waiting as their music is replaced by ‘The Perfect Girl’ by Mareux. This causes more of a mixed reaction as Ruler walks out and meets Alex at the stage, and before long the two begin walking down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Making their way to the ring… At a combined weight of 400 pounds… THE TEAM OF ALEX MYERS AND RULER!!!!
James Peters: Well I don’t think this is the team you two are out here for, but they definitely have a chance to pick up some great momentum heading into their EAW World Championship match.
Holly Arrow: Yeah, we have history with these two. Neither of us are exactly fans of Ruler and we definitely don’t share the exact same opinion on Alex Myers, but I’d say they stand a pretty good chance tonight.
Harper Lee: Took the words right out of my mouth.
Rich Russillo: That doesn’t even sound like something you’d say, but moving on I’m interested in seeing how these two work as a team. We know they’re friends and have known each other for years, but will that really translate to good tag team work?
Persephone: Hopefully it does. Or doesn’t. Whichever one makes the match end quicker.
(‘Bringin’ Home the Rain’ by The Builders and Butchers hits to a mixed reaction, and Solomon Stane begins to walk out, with Kirk Redwood right behind. The two end up side by side as they reach the stage, and they immediately look down the ramp and towards the commentary table, not too pleased to see the Unified Tag Team Champions on commentary. Before long, they regain their focus and just begin walking down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: And their opponents… At a combined weight of 476 pounds… THE TEAM OF KIRK REDWOOD AND SOLOMON STANE, THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES!
James Peters: Kirk and Solomon are making their way here from Showdown, and I don’t think they’re pleased about the surprising appearance you two have made tonight.
Harper Lee: :mjlol2: Of course they aren’t!
Holly Arrow: Funny seeing how the tables turn when we haven’t even made a move, but they should probably focus on their opponents instead of us.
Rich Russillo: That’s true. After all, a win here would mean a win over someone that might end up becoming EAW World Champion at Bloodsport. This could be huge for them if they play their vards right.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: AND THIS TAG TEAM MATCH IS UNDERWAY, AND-
Harper Lee: Wait wait wait, why are those idiots still looking over here?? EYES ON THE MATCH!!!
Rich Russillo: It probably has something to do wirh you two showing up unannounced. :mjgrin:
Holly Arrow: That’s true, but they shouldn’t let that get to them. After all, even the smallest distractions could cost you a win.
Harper Lee: Yeah, not that they wouldn’t deserve it.
James Peters: Well it looks like Kirk Redwood and Alex Myers will be starting this match off, and right away both Elitists lock up!
Rich Russillo: Alex Myers is able to apply a headlock before Kirk lifts them up, AND ALEX FLIPS OUT OF THE BACK SUPLEX LIFT BEFORE GRABBING KIRK FROM BEHIND! Alex with the waistlock- but Kirk drops down and slides under Alex before getting up and locking in a headlock of his own! Alex now running to the ropes and forcing Kirk to bounce off of them, AND SOLOMON USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAG HIMSELF IN AS KIRK BOUNCES OFF OF THE OPPOSITE PAIR! Alex runs in to strike Kirk, BUT KIRK DUCKS UNDER IT, ALLOWING SOLOMON TO CONNECT WITH A BIG BOOT THAT KIRK FOLLOWS UP WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Holly Arrow: There’s the teamwork coming into play early on. We’ve made our fair share of comments about OBA, but getting an advantage early on and utilizing your tag team offense is very smart.
Persephone: Don’t give them too much credit. Broken clocks and all that.
James Peters: Solomon Stane now pulling Alex into a grounded headlock, AND THEY START DELIVERING PUNCHES TO ALEX’S HEAD WHILE THEY’RE TRAPPED IN THE HEADLOCK!!! ALEX TRYING TO REACH OUT TOWARDS THE ROPES, BUT SOLOMON JUST TRANSITIONS INTO A REAR CHINLOCK, PULLING THEM AWAY!
Rich Russillo: SOLOMON DOESN’T STOP THERE!!!! HE LIFTS ALEX RIGHT INTO A WAISTLOCK BEFORE LOOKING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX OF HIS OWN- BUT ONCE AGAIN ALEX IS ABLE TO FLIP OUT OF IT AND ONTO THEIR FEET, AND LOOK AT THAT!!!! ALEX PULLS SOLOMON IN JUST AS SOLOMON WAS GETTING BACK UP!!!! SPACE BOUND- WAIT NO!!! SOLOMON LOOKS TO COUNTER WITH A BACK BODY DROP- BUT ALEX MANAGES TO SLIDE DOWN SOLOMON’S BACK AND PULL HIM INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN!
Harper Lee: Jeez, I know OBA stinks but surely Solomon’s not bad enough to lose THIS quickly, right???
Persephone: Hopefully he is.🤞
ONE!
TW-
Holly Arrow: He kicked out. :mjgrin:
Persephone: :francis:
James Peters: Solomon immediately rolls to his feet and attempts to hit Alex with a roundhouse kick, but Alex is able to duck under and roll back to their feet! Solomon turn around and Alex uses the opportunity to grab Solomon by the arm, sending him into the corner! Alex now running in, BEFORE DELIVERING A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO SOLOMON!!!! THERE IT IS NOW, THE TAG IS MADE TO RULER!!!
Harper Lee: Yuck. These two in the same ring. Can they both lose or something?
Persephone: I ask myself that every week.
Holly Arrow: Well Ruler’s taking advantage of that uppercut now. He just hit Solomon with a series of shoot kicks in the corner, and now the ref’s getting involved.
Harper Lee: I never liked that stupid five count.
Holly Arrow: :mjlol: Yeah, that’s not a surprise. Ruler chose not to let the ref even start counting, and instead dragged Solomon out of the corner with a snapmare.
Rich Russillo: Ruler now running the ropes, AND HE CONNECTS WITH A PENALTY KICK TO THE FACE!!! RULER NOW QUICKLY WITH THE COVER!!!!
ONE!
T-
Rich Russillo: And Solomon powers out!
Persephone: Yeah, and somehow he’s already getting back up! This is annoying! We have two awful wrestlers making commentary even more unbearable than usual, and if that wasn’t bad enough, there are FOUR garbage wrestlers in thw ring putting on one of the worst tag matches I’ve ever seen!
Harper Lee: :skip: I-
Holly Arrow: It’s not even worth it.
James Peters: Ruler is able to connect with a knee to the midsection before sending Solomon into the ropes, BUT SOLOMON IS ABLE TO GRAB THE ROPES AND STOP HIMSELF FROM BOUNCING OFF! Ruler now runs in but- WAIT! I THINK SOLOMON JUST HIT RULER IN THE EYE WITH HIS THUMB! SOLOMON MANAGED TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A PUNCH, BUT THAT DEFINITELY HIT RULER’S EYE!
Rich Russillo: Solomon quickly grabs Ruler before the referee can take notice of what really happened there, and Kirk isn’t very pleased by Solomon cheating but he waits patiently on the apron as Solomon drags Ruler to the corner of the Off-Brand Amphetamines! Solomon tags Kirk in before slamming Ruler into the corner, and now as Kirk gets in the ring he backs up, BEFORE ALLOWING SOLOMON TO PULL HIM RIGHT INTO RULER!!!! AIDED FLYING KNEE RIGHT THERE AS RULER CRUMBLES ONTO THE MAT!!!! Alex and Ruler are friends, but the Off-Brand Amphetamines have been competing in tag team action almost nonstop for over a year now!
Holly Arrow: Yet they’re still relying on cheap shots. At least Kirk seems to know better, though I guess it won’t even matter if they’re not able to put down Ruler and Alex.
James Peters: Ruler uses the ropes to pull himself back up, AND KIRK REDWOOD CONNECTS WITH A PUNCH TO THE MIDSECTION, CAUSING RULER TO STUMBLE FORWARD AND DROP TO A KNEE! KIRK REDWOOD NOW RUNNING THE ROPES, AND I THINK HE’S LOOKING FOR THE BLITZKREIG BOP!!!!
Rich Russillo: HE WAS! HE DEFINITELY WAS, BUT IT DIDN’T CONNECT!!!! RULER MANAGED TO DUCK UNDER IT, AND AS SOON AS HE GETS BACK UP HE DROPS KIRK WITH A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX!!! BOTH ELITISTS GET BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND NOW RULER CONNECTS WITH A BICYCLE KICK, CAUSING KIRK TO STUMBLE THROUGH THE ROPES AND FALL OUT OF THE RING!!!!
Holly Arrow: Well we know how these things usually go. For the Off-Brand Amphetamines’ sake, hopefully they keep things over there.
Harper Lee: Right. Haven’t forgotten about what they did on Dynasty last week.
Persephone: You two should spend more time on Dynasty, honestly. Showdown, too. Anywhere but here.
Harper Lee: Holly, you think there’s some sorta rule against hurting her?
Holly Arrow: Feeling the urge to find out, honestly.
Persephone: :whoa:
James Peters: Anyways, Ruler is running the ropes now that Kirk Redwood has made it back to his feet, AND THERE’S A BEAUTIFUL TOPE CON HILO, TAKING OUT KIRK REDWOOD!!! RULER NOW SENDING KIRK BACK INTO THE RING BEFORE QUICKLY FOLLOWING BEHIND, AND HE QUICKLY TAGS ALEX BACK INTO THE MATCH!!
Rich Russillo: ALEX MYERS QUICKLY HEADS UP TO THE TOP ROPE WHILE KIRK REDWOOD HAS YET TO MOVE- AND NOW THERE IT IS!!!! DOCTOR SLEEP CONNECTS, AND ALEX MYERS GOES FOR THE COVER, LOOKING TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY!!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
Rich Russillo: NO! REDWOOD IS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP BEFORE THREE, KEEPING THIS MATCH ALIVE FOR THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES!!! Kirk Redwood is in a bad way right now though, and I think Alex Myers is about to try and put this one away thanks to that! Alex is heading right back up top!
Persephone: I’m glad that SOMEONE has the sense to hurry up and try to finish the match instead of wasting five minutes confused that their opponent kicked out.
James Peters: Alex Myers has made it back to the top rope, meanwhile Kirk Redwood hasn’t even moved! This could be bad, we might be seeing the end of this one right now! ALEX MYERS DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE, AND THEY GO FOR THE ANGELIC BLESSING- BUT WAIT A SECOND!!! KIRK MANAGED TO GET THE KNEES UP!!!! KIRK REDWOOD SOMEHOW WAS ABLE TO GET THE KNEES UP, STOPPING THE ANGELIC BLESSING FROM CONNECTING PROPERLY AS ALEX ROLLS OFF OF KIRK!
Rich Russillo: Kirk is slowly starting to crawl back to the Off-Brand Amphetamines’ corner, but Alex is starting to stir! Alex quickly grabs onto Kirk and stops him from getting to the corner, AND NOW ALEX IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A FOREARM! Both Elitists are slowly able to push themselves up to their knees, AND KIRK RETALIATES WITH AN UPPERCUT! ALEX NOW WITH AN ELBOW! KIRK WITH A RIGHT HAND! THESE TWO ARE REALLY GOING BACK AND FORTH HERE, AND NOW ALEX SWINGS AT KIRK ONCE MORE- BUT WAIT, LOOK AT KIRK!!!
James Peters: KIRK JUST DUCKED UNDER IT BEFORE PUSHING HIMSELF TO HIS FEET AND RUNNING THE ROPES!!!! BLITZKREIG BOP!!!! WHERE DID THAT COME FROM!?!? KIRK CONNECTED WITH THAT KNEE BEFORE ALEX EVEN HAD ANY TIME TO REACT!!!!
Harper Lee: Not bad, I guess. Clearly caught Alex off guard.
James Peters: KIRK REDWOOD WITH THE COVER, IS THAT ALL FOR ALEX AND RULER!?!?
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
Holly Arrow: No, Alex managed to kick out! Harper and I both have been in the ring with Alex many times. We know how difficult it can be to keep them down for a three count.
Rich Russillo: It looks like Kirk plans to capitalize off of the time he got though, as he quickly pulls himself to his corner of the ring and tags Solomon back into the match! Kirk Redwood now heading up to the top rope as Solomon Stane lifts Alex Myers up, and it looks like these two are going for one of the bigger moves in their tag team arsenal! SIN EATER- WAIT NO! HOW DID ALEX DO IT!? ALEX FLIPPED OUT OF THE GERMAN SUPLEX BEFORE KIRK COULD CONNECT WITH THE DIVING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT, AND NOW ALEX STUMBLES INTO THEIR CORNER, TAGGING IN RULER BEFORE DROPPING AND ROLLING TO THE APRON!
Persephone: How did they screw that up??? Are the Off-Brand Amphetamines really that terrible???
Harper Lee: I mean…
James Peters: Kirk rolls to the apron while Solomon charges after Ruler, AND RULER CATCHES SOLOMON WITH A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE!!!!!! SOLOMON IS ON SPAGHETTI LEGS AS RULER ROLLS TO HIS FEET AND RUNS THE ROPES, AND NOW THERE’S A HUGE BICYCLE KICK BY RULER, TAKING SOLOMON TO A KNEE!!!! RULER NOW PULLING SOLOMON IN, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S GOING FOR THE WILL OF NICHOLAS- BUT THERE’S THE STRENGTH OF SOLOMON ON DISPLAY!
Rich Russillo: SOLOMON IS HOLDING ONTO RULER, MAKING SURE RULER CAN’T DROP TO THE MAT AND TAKE SOLOMON’S HEAD WITH HIM! SOLOMON PUSHES RULER BACK ONTO THE MAT BEFORE GRABBING HIM BY THE THROAT, AND NOW SOLOMON PULLS RULER RIGHT INTO A HEADBUTT!!! AND A SECOND! AND A THIRD! AND A FOURTH! FIVE IN A ROW!!! SOLOMON STANE WITH FIVE HEADBUTTS IN A ROW, AND NOW THERE’S THE TRIUMPH OF TRUTH- NO! RULER MANAGED TO FLIP OUT OF IT AND LAND ON HIS FEET, AND NOW HE GOES FOR THE REVOLUTIONIZER!!!!
Holly Arrow: Close, but not close enough.
James Peters: SOLOMON NOW LOOKING FOR THE BELL CLAP, BUT RULER DUCKS UNDER BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A JUMPING KNEE!! RULER NOW RUNNING THE ROPES- BUT SOLOMON CATCHES HIM WITH A SUPERKICK!!! NOW IT’S SOLOMON THAT RUNS THE ROPES, AND HE LOOKS FOR A HUGE CLOTHESLINE BUT RULER IS BARELY ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT!!!! GREAT BACK AND FORTH HERE BY THESE TWO AS SOLOMON STOPS HIMSELF AT THE ROPES BEFORE TURNING AROUND- AND NOW RULER RUNS IN BEFORE CLOTHESLINING HIM OUT OF THE RI-
Harper Lee: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! THAT COMPLETELY BACKFIRED!
Holly Arrow: :mjlol: Yeah, Solomon just threw Ruler out here without much of a problem.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, and it doesn’t look like Solomon is done just yet! He rolls out of the ring before grabbing Ruler, AND THERE’S A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION! AND A SECOND! AND A THIRD! Solomon now dragging Ruler, and… Wait, I think he’s coming over here!
Holly Arrow: Here we go.
(Solomon Stane drags Ruler over to the commentary table, slamming Ruler’s face on top of it and beginning to press his face against the table before staring at the Unified Tag Team Champions.)
Holly Arrow: Are you sure you want to do this right now?? Go focus on the match, I think you two have tried making statements enough times now to give it up.
Solomon Stane: (off-mic) You two knew what you were doing coming out here. That’s fine, though. What you’re seeing now is just a preview of what’s to come soon enough. A victory for the Off-Brand Amphetamines, just as God intended.
Harper Lee: What I’m seeing is an idiot that can’t keep his eyes off of us. Look, I don’t care about whether you win or lose this match. You guys have already screwed us over enough times, we can settle this right now.
Solomon Stane: (off-mic) That’s not the kind of mistake you want to make right now, not unless you want to stare at the lights like you did last week.
(Harper and Holly immediately take off their headsets after hearing this, stepping up to Solomon Stane as the fans begin to cheer loudly. Solomon doesn’t back down at all, staring directly at the Unified Tag Team Champions. The referee isn’t counting, but only because he’s concerned that a fight might break out and is trying to tell Solomon to back away from the commentary table.)
Rich Russillo: :lupe: Guys, I don’t know if this is the best time for that.
Persephone: No no no, PLEASE start fighting! It’d cause the match to end!
(Kirk Redwood drops off of the apron and begins making his way over to the commentary table, noticing the commotion between Solomon Stane and POTARA. Holly and Harper are seen sharing a few more words with the Off-Brand Amphetamines, and Kirk rushes over to the area to back his partner up.)
James Peters: It looks like Kirk is trying to tell Solomon that it’s not worth it and that they should just focus on their matc- BUT WAIT A SECOND!!!!! OFF THE APRON!!!! LOOK AT THAT!!!!
Rich Russillo: ALEX MYERS JUST FLEW OFF THE APRON, TAKING KIRK REDWOOD OUT WITH A DIVING METEORA!!!!! SOLOMON STANE TURNS TO ALEX MYERS AND TRIES TO GRAB THEM- BUT RULER TURNS HIM AROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE REVOLUTIONIZER!!!!!!! BOTH MEMBERS OF THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES ARE DOWN, AND NOW RULER AND ALEX GRAB SOLOMON BEFORE SENDING HIM BACK INTO THE RING!!!! ALEX HOPS ON THE APRON AS RULER SLIDES INTO THE RING, AND THAT ALTERCATION WITH POTARA MIGHT HAVE COST KIRK AND SOLOMON THIS MATCH!
(Holly and Harper don’t put their headsets back on or even return to their seats, instead just continuing to watch as the match continues.)
James Peters: Ruler quickly tags in Alex Myers, AND NOW ALEX IS HEADING UP TO THE TOP ROPE AS RULER WAITS IN THE RING!!!! KIRK REDWOOD IS STILL DOWN AND OUT AFTER THAT METEORA, THERE’S NOTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT THIS!!!!
Rich Russillo: ALEX DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE, AND THERE’S THE ANGELIC BLESSING!!!!! THE ANGELIC BLESSING CONNECTS, AND NOW ALEX GOES FOR THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEGS AS THIS MATCH IS DEFINITELY OVER!!!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS…. THE TEAM OF ALEX MYERS AND RULER!!!!!!!
(‘Soundtrack 2 My Life’ hits, and the fans cheer as Alex Myers rolls off of Solomon Stane. They get back to their feet as Ruler joins them in the center of the ring, and the referee raises their hands. Despite them being opponents at Bloodsport they’re also friends, so after a brief glance at each other, Alex and Ruler are able to begin walking out of the ring. During this, POTARA is seen at ringside. Holly just shakes her head seeing how things played out, meanwhile Harper has a grin on her face.)
James Peters: Definitely a great match here tonight, but in the end the Off-Brand Amphetamines came up short thanks to a confrontation with the Unified Tag Team Champions. You have to wonder what would’ve happened if things didn’t go down the way they did.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, I feel like it could’ve gone any way. Of course, I doubt the Champions really feel bad about the way things turned out, either. After all, they were on the receiving end of multiple mid-match attacks by the Off-Brand Amphetamines.
(Kirk Redwood and Solomon Stane are slowly seen beginning to stir. By this time Alex Myers and Ruler are already gone, and when Holly and Harper notice this, they just look at each other before giving a similar nod of agreement.)
James Peters: Wait, what are they- OH NO! HOLLY RUNS IN AND SENDS KIRK REDWOOD CRASHING INTO THE BARRICADE!!!!! KIRK DROPS DOWN TO HIS KNEES, AND NOW HARPER GRABS ONTO ONE OF HIS WRISTS AS HOLLY GRABS THE OTHER!!! SHINING RAID!!!!! SHINING RAID CONNECTS, AND NOW HOLLY AND HARPER THROW KIRK OVER THE BARRICADE BEFORE SLIDING INTO THE RING!!!!
Rich Russillo: SOLOMON IS UP AND HE SWINGS AT HOLLY- BUT HOLLY IS ABLE TO DUCK IT AS SOLOMON IS STILL TIRED!!! HOLLY GRABS SOLOMON IN A RIPCORD POSITION, AND NOW HARPER CONNECTS WITH A DRAGON FIST- WHICH IS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THE EMPEROR’S TIME!!!! RED HAWK CONNECTS, AND IT LOOKS LIKE POTARA STILL ISN’T FINISHED!!!!!
James Peters: HOLLY PULLS SOLOMON UP BEFORE SENDING HIM INTO THE ROPES, AND THERE IT IS!!!! SKILL ISSUE CONNECTS, TAKING OUT SOLOMON STANE AS BOTH MEMBERS OF THE OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES ARE DOWN!!!!!
Rich Russillo: POTARA just took out the Off-Brand Amphetamines, getting some revenge for what went down on Dynasty!
(The fans cheer for POTARA, and Harper rolls out of the ring before walking over to the timekeepers area. She grabs two microphones before returning to the ring, handing one of them to Holly. Harper looks down at Solomon Stane, who is still unconscious, before beginning to speak.)
Harper Lee: That was fun, but you know what? We’re Champions. We’re the standard when it comes to this division, so if we’re gonna be role models for the rest of you, might as well set a good example or whatever.
Holly Arrow: Kirk spent his last promo crying about the fact that our match supposedly wasn’t “made official” 🤷♀️, so we’re going to do a favor for you guys. POTARA versus the Off-Brand Amphetamines at Bloodsport. Unified Tag Team Championships on the line. Consider it official, and more importantly, consider it our second successful defense. When this is all over, just remember that you two asked for this.
Harper Lee: See you guys soon.
(The fans cheer loudly after hearing this. Harper laughs, and Holly has a smirk on her face. Before long, both members of POTARA raise their Unified Tag Team Championships.)
James Peters: Well it looks like we now have full on confirmation that this is what will be happening on Bloodsport, and I think it’s safe to say that POTARA sent one hell of a message tonight.
Rich Russillo: That’s right, but will it translate to a victory at Bloodsport, or can the Off-Brand Amphetamines stop them in their tracks??
Persephone: Does it matter? Who really cares?
(‘Tot Musica’ plays as both members of POTARA hold their Unified Tag Team Championships in the air. Solomon Stane and Kirk Redwood are still down and out, and as the fans are heard cheering, Voltage begins to fade away from ringside.)
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where POTARA defends the Unified Tag Team Championships against the Off-Brand Amphetamines.)
(The Voltage broadcast would slowly begin to return, the red flashing lights on each individual camera around the arena blinking once again, as the Auvenir Centre is shown in full focus – the camera shot aiming down at the yellow Voltage graphics, panning across the arena, as the New Brunswick, Canadian residents all begin to get off their feet. Seconds would pass, as eventually ‘Bounce Back’ by Big Sean hits the speaker system, the crowd eventually coming to a loud cheer… a different reaction compared to most of the season’s infancy. Jack has previously been hated for his actions during yesterseason – however, the fans have been unable to help themselves for feeling for Jack. Though they still love and respect Jamie O’Hara, especially after returning to his ‘Ace’ persona – the Jamie O’Hara they had grown to love over the years, showing a sign that *he* had changed – they couldn’t help but agree with Jack ever so slightly due to his perception of this situation. As much as they tried to hate him, they began to understand him, and with that understanding came a newfound appreciation for him. As Jack Ripley made his way out through the curtains dressed in his casual outfit, a white shirt and skinny jeans, alongside a microphone in hand, the camera would follow him down the ramp.)
James Peters: Just weeks away from his Sadistic Madness match against Jamie O’Hara, Jack Ripley is coming out here to speak his mind and I can guarantee it; nothing has changed for him. His point will absolutely have to be proven at that event, as Jamie O’Hara’s feelings on Jack has not changed, and the mood Jack in hasn’t either. His whole goal is to have the complete opposite season as previous. This may be a great way to do so for him; but the context surrounding it has gotten on his nerves so badly. This will be his time to prove Jamie wrong. By any means necessary!
(Jack Ripley slowly makes his way up the steel steps, one by one, approaching the very top of them. Slipping past the ring post, he walks across the apron, before slowly entering the ring. Jack Ripley would slowly march across the ring, as his theme begins to die down. Now, just the muttering of the crowd, the stepping of Jack Ripley’s feet, and the commentary team filling the aura; Jack begins to speak.)
Jack Ripley: Of all things I wanted to talk about here, the thing I want to start off by mentioning is how significant this match is. We can make that point even on such a surface level mentioning how we’re some of the biggest names imaginable thus making it significant already, but even beyond that, we have our history. Yet despite both of those, neither of them are why this match is significant. Trust me, I do wish it was. I wish I could come out here and talk about that cunt Jamie O’Hara and mention our history with each other, and mention how important it is that we’re running it back after all these years, yet I can’t bring myself to do that because it’s not exactly the truth. That isn’t the focal point of what I’m trying to say. That isn’t what makes this match important. My future is. The past is what it is, the past is the past, and that’s what it’ll be for the remainder of my life, but the fact is, Jamie O’Hara is acting as if that all means nothing. As if he needs to fraud check me, as if I’m nothing to him. Jamie O’Hara would be nothing without the past, so why is Jack Ripley nothing because of it?
Jack Ripley: I intend to reach greater heights than I ever have. The same heights I haven’t reached in a long time, and even further than that. We all know what I’m capable of. We all know what I bring to the table, and we all know what I can deliver on. I became Answers World Champion. I only lost it to a woman who went on to be undefeated for an entire calendar year, reflective of my talent more than anything. I went on to challenge a man like Impact, and he never decisively beat me, meaning I have just as strong a claim to that Championship as he does. I have the claim to being a two time Answers World Champion yet that isn’t recognized because my shoulders were also flat on the mat. But that doesn’t matter. The accolade isn’t there but the skill, and claim is. We don’t even need to mention everything I’ve done, we don’t even need to mention every other accolade, and those two things still put me head and shoulders above the rest… yet to Jamie O’Hara I’m not even a blip on the radar. I have to put an end to that. Because if, given the context, I am now a blip on the radar to THIS version of Jamie O’Hara? The entire Voltage roster has to look out.
(The crowd would cheer for what Jack Ripley has to say, as he looks down the hardcam with more confidence and vigour than we’ve ever seen from him. He was never unconfident, but this is a Jack Ripley more sure of himself than ever before, thus creating a dangerous Jack Ripley. He raises the microphone…)
Jack Ripley: And I-
(Only to be met with no further words escaping his lips as ‘Kashmir’ by Led Zeppelin begins to blare through the speakers. The crowd still cheers, but Jack Ripley wouldn’t share that same sentiment, as he feels a sick sense of deja vu. This was the common theme, week after week after week. Jamie would never let him share his feelings, Jamie refused it. As he does here. Walking out in his casual attire also, a mic in his hand much like Jack, the two come eye to eye once he is on the stage. Jack isn’t even mad this time. It was to be expected. Somewhere deep in Jamie, he appreciated that Jack was giving him the time, but that was dulled down by the rest of the feelings he had for Jack. It was as if someone poured water on alcohol. Each substance cancelled out the other. It’s like drinking a drink that meant nothing. You got the worst side of both. Jamie O’Hara would walk up the steel steps, and enter the ring, as ‘Kashmir’ began to fade out.)
Jamie O’Hara: You feel it, don’t you? That repetitive nature of what I’m doing to you? You come out here, looking to share every single thought that is going on in your head, you wish that you could have done all of this in one week, yet I rip that from you, and you have to save it for another time? This is, essentially, a description of your career. That taste of World Championship gold – ripped from you at Midsummer Massacre, another 5 month wait after it felt like decades of waiting beforehand. You finally got what you wanted to say, just for the cold harsh realities to rip it from you again before it could even get started. A repeating notion, time and time again… bleeding failure and nothing more – you’re beginning to understand why I’m not impressed by the essence of who you are, nor what you possess. You had so many options. You had so many roads. A disappointing career, no doubt, but one possible saving… yet you followed a different path. You picked a fight you simply cannot win. It was a death wish. Think of this repetitiveness as a spiral. An easy escape, yet you’re so focused on what’s in front of you – the path that KEEPS you in the spiral..
Jamie O’Hara: I’m right ahead of you, only our paths are in a crossroads. I’m not following the path of the spiral, I’m moving forward, the spiral just happens to be in full view in front of me, an easy path through it. Because, what I’ve been able to do cannot be compared to anyone on this roster, especially not Jack Ripley. You wouldn’t have gone after me if you didn’t see some semblance of that. But you’re focused on the wrong things. Even after your big World Championship victory I’m on the top of the mountain, thus the man to shoot for, the man to aim at, but you’re not on the right path to even be aiming at me. It’s like putting a sniper scope on a slingshot. You cannot reach me. You’re just going to fail. Again. And again. And again.
(Jack Ripley shakes his head once more. He didn’t want to be hearing all of this again, but he knew he had to. He had to grit his teeth and bear it.
Jack Ripley: The way I see it, Jamie, your reputation blinds you. It’s almost like you WANT it to be that way. The perennial failure versus the unbeatable winner, one road leads to you, and I’m trying to cut the line. But at this stage in my career, no matter what line I aim at, I’m immediately at the front. I know what I need to do in order to reach the heights I’ve been capable of in the past, and quite frankly, that means just taking a different path. See this “spiral” metaphor you want to use, it’s not the reality of the situation. Perhaps from your perspective, but that is seen through so many filters you employ. Things didn’t go well for me last season, but just because that happened, doesn’t mean I have to be intimidated by what you say, doesn’t mean it’s right, doesn’t mean it’s gospel truth. I know you all too fucking well. I know what threat you bring here, yet if I didn’t have the ability to bring you down, this staredown wouldn’t exist. I wouldn’t be standing across from you. What happened just a few weeks ago, as you took the heel of my boot to your jaw over and over and over; it never would have happened.
Jack Ripley: Don’t get too attached to this feeling, Jamie. Don’t. Feeling untouchable is how a Jack Ripley Season 16 happened, in some way shape or form at least. I’m going to hand you yet another loss, and unbalance out this score between us.
(Jamie O’Hara smirks once more.)
Jamie O’Hara: Trust me, Jack. I haven’t forgotten what happened. I haven’t in the slightest. However, the idea that it meant anything never once dawned on me, because it simply doesn’t. It is, for all intents and purposes, a meaningless moment. A meaningless occurrence. Just an attack. Three moves that won’t matter come Bloodsport. You know it just as well as I know it. You can superkick me in the jaw a couple of times, you can leave me staring at the lights, believing that I must be “embarrassed” and that I have got to be feeling a little different in my approach. My steps must not be as confident, that extra bit of bounce to them is reeling, yet that’s not the truth. Why, Jack? Because you didn’t finish the job. As long as Jamie O’Hara is still standing, that is Jack Ripley’s biggest mistake.
(The two stare down, as the crowd gets hot. Jamie lowers his mic, as Jack Ripley steps closer. He looks to speak…)
James Peters: IN EXCELSIS!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: JACK RIPLEY IS IMMEDIATELY SLUMPED, AS JAMIE O’HARA CLOCKED HIM WITH THE BICYCLE KNEE TO THE JAW! JACK’S EYES FLUTTERING, AS HE IS CLINGING ONTO CONSCIOUSNESS!!!
(Jamie slowly walks forward, as Jack rolls onto his stomach. Jamie is circling him like a shark, before Jack grabs onto the knee of his jeans. Jamie looks down…)
James Peters: HATHAWAY’S DREAMS!!!! DOUBLE WRIST LOCK STRAIGHT KNEE STRIKE, JAMIE’S MOST POWERFUL OFFENSIVE MANOEUVRE BRINGS JACK RIPLEY DOWN TO THE GROUND! THERE’S NO CLINGING ONTO CONSCIOUSNESS NOW; THAT HAS BEEN FORCIBLY REMOVED FROM HIS BODY!
(Jamie O’Hara looks down, the ‘ooohs’ of the crowd still ringing in his ear following the clock of the knee connecting Jack’s jaw. Yet all he can pay attention to is the crumpled body of his future opponent. He looks back up, down the hardcam. His eyes say it all. This isn’t the last time Jamie believes we’ll see this.)
(Eventually, as the camera pans out, we begin to fade into a commercial break.)
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where Jamie O’Hara and Jack Ripley face off in Sadistic Madness.)
( Sunday Night Voltage returns from a commercial break with the crowd being excited for the upcoming contest. The camera then fades and reveals Bella Braxton standing in the middle of the ring, preparing to announce the upcoming match. )
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘All Mine’ by Kanye West plays to a big chorus of boos as Sierra Everett comes out with a shit-eating grin on her face. Not looking very impressed with what she’s been through last week, so this week, she looks forward to capturing this huge victory over Dr. Bethany Blue with frustration and anything that she could possibly bring to the matches here tonight. Sierra walks straight to her corner, showing nothing but determination heading into this match. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA!… WEIGHING IN AT 130 POUNDS!… ‘SIMPLY BETTER’ !!!!!!!… SIERRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!… EVERETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!
James Peters: Here comes Sierra Everett, who has been one of the fastest-rising stars we have seen here since the first step she made in EAW. Though, she’s up against Dr. Bethany Blue, and it’s not going to be very easy for her to handle the heat that the Doctor will bring to the match here.
Rich Russillo: Don’t forget that Sierra also has her Reckless Wiring opponent Sienna Jade watching her from anywhere, so she has to be careful. If not, she might end up in the same position as last week when Sienna came in and disrupted her match against Mei Sasaki.
Persephone: … Do I really have to do this?
Rich Russillo: Do what?
Persephone: Watch Sierra Everett of all people wrestle, do I really have to? Seriously, why do I even have to do this? Can I just go to the toilet or else?
( Sierra goes into the ring and begins leaning against her corner as ‘Somebody Call Me A Doctor’ by Val Helen plays, with Dr. Bethany Blue walking out with a focused look on her face. She still has a hurt hand thanks to Cameron Ella Ava, but she looks ready to compete regardless of the injury she sustained. She stares at Sierra Everett for a moment, as she continues walking down the ramp. Sierra stares back at her, and much like Bethany, Sierra looks ready to compete.)
Bella Braxton: HER OPPONENT!… FROM MIAMI, FLORIDA!… WEIGHING IN AT 125 POUNDS!… DOCTORRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!… BETHANYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!…. BLUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Someone surely has been calling for the doctor tonight because Bethany is here! Last week, we saw tension build up between Cameron Ella Ava and Dr. Bethany Blue towards their match at Bloodsport. Tonight, she has another obstacle in her way that she needs to get rid of as she’s up against Sierra Everett!
Rich Russillo: Sierra and Bethany sure have, as well, been throwing words at each other these past few days ahead of this match. These two are going to bring some great wrestling to this match as we speak here tonight. We are going to find out now who’s going to come out on top in this contest!
( DING DING DING! )
James Peters: The long-anticipated clash between Dr. Bethany Blue and Sierra Everett has finally commenced right here! Both women are undoubtedly bringing the heat to tonight’s match, showcasing unmatched talent compared to others on the entire roster. Sierra, with her steady and swift moves, possesses tremendous potential heading into this bout, while Bethany has already accomplished a lot, earning respect from all over the world. Whether it’s the Universal Women’s title, Specialists title, Empress of Elite, or even the Interwire championship, Bethany has achieved it all.
Rich Russillo: That still indicates Sierra will face a tough challenge tonight. Perhaps this is why Sierra has done a lot of homework, preparing for this match, as well as her upcoming bout against Sienna Jade.
James Peters: Sierra and Bethany now step out of their respective corners and head straight toward each other. Bethany initiates the action with a collar and elbow tie-up, and both women connect at the center of the ring. Sierra reacts quickly, going behind Bethany and locking her by the waist. She swings Bethany to the side, taking her down to the ground and applying a headlock, keeping the Doctor under pressure!
James Peters: With Bethany caught in the headlock, she attempts to return to her feet, but Sierra drives a knee right into her gut, sending Bethany flying back to the ground with another headlock takedown. Sierra has been dominating this match so far with her speed. How will Bethany manage to keep up with the situation?
Persephone: I don’t know, both of them are trash and garbage in the ring, so win or lose, it doesn’t matter. I hate watching this mediocre product.
James Peters: Sierra keeps control of the situation firmly in her grasp, wearing down Bethany, who tries to use her strength to pull Sierra’s arm off her neck. Bethany is undoubtedly a strong woman, making it harder for Sierra to maintain her position of control.
Rich Russillo: Sierra isn’t going to let Bethany off the hook that easily. She tries to take Bethany down with a kick to the face, but Bethany catches her leg! Sierra gets caught, but she attempts to use her free leg to hit an Enzuigiri. Bethany releases Sierra’s leg and ducks underneath the kick! Sierra finds herself on the ground while Bethany pulls her back up to her feet. Bethany strikes from behind, sending Sierra spinning forward, looking for a ripcord forearm smash to break her jaw!
James Peters: Not yet! Sierra manages to duck Bethany’s arm just in time and quickly rolls to the outside of the ring. Sierra saves herself from a fractured jaw and gives herself some time to recover from the sudden danger that unfolded before her eyes. Bethany turns back around, trying to beckon Sierra back into the ring, but Sierra brushes her off and continues walking around, giving herself some time to clear her mind.
Rich Russillo: Sierra attempts to roll back inside the ring, asking the referee to keep Bethany away from her for a few seconds. Perhaps Sierra is thinking about a new gameplan because, as you know, you need a plan before you take any action, so maybe Sierra is trying to come up with one at the moment.
Persephone: Can she even fight at this point? She has always been doing this. Just fight. You’re here to wrestle, not play cat and mouse, you little twat.
Rich Russillo: Sierra finally has her focus back on the match. She looks up at Bethany, their eyes locked, and approaches her again, going for a collar and elbow tie-up once more!
James Peters: Sierra surprises her with a kick driving into the gut of the Doctor. Sierra quickly grabs her and sends her towards the ropes right behind her. Sierra throws a forearm, but Bethany ducks underneath it, continuing to run towards the ropes, and then bouncing off, taking Sierra down swiftly with a running back elbow! Sierra gets back up, but Bethany jumps up and takes her down again with a Running Knee Lift! Sierra stumbles back to her feet once more, falling back into the corner. Bethany shifts her focus towards where Sierra is. Bethany runs towards her, connecting with a corner clothesline!
Rich Russillo: Sierra is being caught with the clothesline from Bethany while she’s positioned in the corner. Bethany drags her out of there, seizes her, and immediately takes Sierra down, sending her flying over her head with a Fallaway Slam! Sierra is being taken down again!
James Peters: Sierra rolls to the outside, trying to avoid Bethany once more. But Bethany is not playing any games this time; she follows Sierra to outside and grabs her by the head, driving her face into the ring post immediately! The Doctor has had enough, not holding back her patience any longer!
Rich Russillo: Sierra’s face was driven into the ring post, leaving her dropping to both knees and nursing her head and leg. Bethany grabs Sierra and sends her back inside the ring. Bethany follows her in, but Sierra still tries to escape and heads back down to the outside. However, Bethany catches her in the nick of time! Bethany grabs Sierra by the head and tries to drag her back to her feet, but Sierra has a firm hold of the ropes! The referee steps in and tries to tell Bethany off, warning her about potential disqualification!
Referee: Bethany, let her off go! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
James Peters: The count of four hits as Bethany releases the hold just in time and steps back slowly, right before she could have been disqualified there… SIERRA quickly steps in and knocks Bethany away with a swift Step-Up Enzuigiri, taking down Bethany all by herself! Bethany staggers back, her face rocked by the Enzuigiri! But here comes Sierra, taking Bethany down by both legs and now turning her into an Ankle Lock on her own!
Persephone: Oh, here we go, some lame submission move that’s going to drag this match down and make it even more boring. Just hit, knock each other, and end this match, please. I don’t want to watch the main event rather than this sleepy crap.
Rich Russillo: The Ankle Lock is applied! Sierra has Bethany right where she wants her! Bethany is locked in the Ankle Lock submission hold; she’s in trouble! Sierra has the upper hand, earlier in this match, and Bethany is under more pressure than before! Sierra has her locked up, and now Bethany needs to figure out a way to escape the hold as soon as possible!
James Peters: Sierra now begins to twist her ankle harder, letting the groan of agony and pain out of Bethany and making this feel even more painful to watch! Sierra is not playing around tonight, cruelly, because she knows how important this victory could have been for her if she’s able to pick one here tonight! Bethany is still locked and tormented by the ankle lock from Sierra, and she’s not going to move away from Sierra’s radar ! Sierra has a big opportunity to make a bigger move that could lead to the finish there!
Rich Russillo: Bethany heads straight to the bottom rope, and she’s trying to grab the bottom rope, with Sierra making this feel even worse for her! Sierra now drops to the ground, and now the ankle lock locked up completely, making this even more challenging for Bethany to make an escape there! Bethany is in serious trouble, and she might not be able to escape sooner or later if she taps out earlier!
Persephone: Jesus Christ, just tap out and go away. Nobody cares who wins this match at this point. Why are we even having to sit and watch this? Can we just move straight to the main event already? We have the only true wrestler to watch like Rex McAllister tonight. We don’t need these two.
Rich Russillo: BETHANY HAS HER HAND ON THE ROPE! SHE BREAKS THE SUBMISSION HOLD!
James Peters: Oh wow, that must be a rough escape for Bethany to make there! Bethany was very close to losing the match there to the power of the submission hold, but she still managed to pull that one out and escaped from tapping out for the ankle lock that Sierra is trying to make sure she will be tapping out from!
Rich Russillo: Sierra surely seems pretty much not really content with how Bethany escaped when she was very close to winning the match. Sierra’s look on her face shows it all, but she might want to keep this match going even though it seems like she’s thinking the referee is trying to screw her over. The same goes for Bethany’s ability that allowed her to escape there. Sierra returns to both feet while Bethany is still down on the ground, nursing her own ankle.
James Peters: Bethany pulls herself into the corner and Sierra Everett follows- AND THIS JUST ALLOWS BETHANY TO PULL SIERRA FACE FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE!!!!!!! BETHANY NOW GETTING BACK TO HER FEET USING THE ROPES, AND SHE JUST BEGINS REPEATEDLY SLAMMING SIERRA’S FACE INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! THE REFEREE BEGINS TO COUNT, BUT BETHANY QUICKLY PULLS SIERRA AWAY FROM THE CORNER, JUST SO SHE CAN START SLAMMING SIERRA’S FACE INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Rich Russillo: Bethany now picking Sierra up,AND THERE’S A FALLAWAY SLAM!!!! Dr. Bethany Blue already has a hurt hand thanks to Cameron Ella Ava, so it’s a good thing she got out of that ankle lock. However, the damage may have already been done as Bethany is forced to try and shake off the pain as she gets back to her feet. Sierra Everett pulls herself up in the corner, AND BETHANY RUSHES IN AS FAST AS SHE CAN BEFORE DELIVERING AN UPPERCUT TO SIERRA!!!! BETHANY NOW LOOKING TO RUN THE ROPES-
James Peters: BUT THANKS TO THAT ANKLE LOCK SIERRA IS JUST A BIT FASTER, AND SHE’S ABLE TO DELIVER A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF THE LEG!!!!
Persephone: Wow this match sucks. I don’t know how anyone could enjoy any of this.
Rich Russillo: Bethany once again pulls herself into the corner, only this time Sierra doesn’t follow behind, waiting for Bethany to get back up instead!
James Peters: Bethany is back on her feet and out of the corner, and Sierra charges straight at Bethany, AND I THINK SIERRA IS LOOKING FOR A LARIAT- BUT BETHANY DUCKS UNDER IT!!!! BETHANY DUCKS AND GRABS SIERRA FROM BEHIND, AND THERE’S A TIGER SUPLEX PLANTING HER! BETHANY WITH A QUICK COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Rich Russillo: KICK OUT BY SIERRA EVERETT!
Rich Russillo: Well, that’s surely a very sudden move coming from Bethany, but that is enough to gain the upper hand this time! She might be doing something bigger there to make this match end faster for her and gain a victory of this match! Bethany now picks Sierra off the ground, back upon her feet again. Now, this time, she’s setting up for something big!… ‘GRADE C2’ AIR RAID CRASH LOOKING TO PLANT HER!
James Peters: NO! SIERRA ESCAPES! SHE DROPS TO THE SIDE OF BETHANY’S LEG AND PULLS BETHANY TO THE GROUND! BOTH SHOULDERS ARE DOWN! BETHANY IS BEING ROLLED UP!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY KICKS OUT!
Persephone: YAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
James Peters: SIERRA WAS VERY CLOSE TO WINNING THERE, I THOUGHT BETHANY LOST IT RIGHT THEN! BOTH WOMEN BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND BETHANY CHARGES AT HER WITH ‘THE REMEDY’ CUTTER! SIERRA DODGES HER FROM BEHIND! BETHANY FAILS TO HIT THE MOVE, AND SIERRA GRABS BETHANY BY HER BAD HAND!… OH NO! SHE JUST SNAPS BETHANY’S FINGERS!
Rich Russillo: I THINK SHE JUST MADE A MASTER MOVE IN THIS MATCH THERE! SIEEEA IS GOING AFTER THE SAME HAND THAT CAMERON ELLA AVA INJURED! BETHANY JUST MISSED THE CUTTER, AND NOW HER FINGERS ARE BEING SNAPPED! SIERRA GRABS HER ACHING HAND AND SLAMS IT DOWN TO THE GROUND AS SOON AS SHE JUST STOPPED BETHANY FROM TAKING HER DOWN! SIERRA WASTES NO TIME AND CONTINUES DROPPING BOTH FEET ON THE HAND OF BETHANY! OUCH!
James Peters: Sierra now sees the hand of Bethany Blue and starts dropping her knee on Bethany’s head repeatedly! Keeping on torturing her and making sure that Bethany will not be ,moving around sooner or later with an injured hand! Sierra needs to make the progress of her plan going well to earn a win off this match!
Rich Russillo: Sierra gets back on her feet and now dragging Bethany off the ground, seizing her from behind, and Bethany has been positioned perfectly. Sierra has her in a hold tightly, and she already has it all set for ‘The Doctor’!… ‘APHRODITE’S KISS’ ROLLING CUTTER BY SIERRA EVERETT! DOWN GOES THE DOCTOR! SIERRA GOES FOR A COVER!
Persephone: DING DING DING!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THRE-
James Peters: NO! NO! SHE KICKS OUT! BETHANY KICKS OUT!
Persephone: Yay?
Rich Russillo: You have to believe it even if you don’t; Bethany just kicked out of two once again, and Sierra is still far from done in this match! Sierra is still far away from winning in this contest after Bethany just kicked out before the count of three. Sierra is clearly not happy right now, and she starts stomping on Bethany’s hand repeatedly! Bethany just keeps on getting her hand stomped on repeatedly by Sierra! Not even looking really good for her! This is totally bad! Very bad for Bethany at the moment!
James Peters: Sierra now has her down on the ground; she’s not going to move away from the same position she has been set in by Sierra sooner or later. SIERRA HAS BETHANY RIGHT EXACTLY WHERE SHE WANTED HER TO BE, AND SIERRA ALREADY HAS BETHANY PULLING BACK TO BOTH FEET! SIERRA NOW SENDS HER ON THE SHOULDERS! SIERRA IS LOOKING FOR THE ‘MOUNT EVERETT’ ONE-HAND ELECTRIC CHAIR DRIVER THAT COULD END IT ALL THERE. SIERRA MIGHT ACTUALLY WIN THIS MATCH, GUYS! SHE’S ABOUT TWO PINS AWAY FROM THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION AND GIVING SIERRA JADE A HUGE NOTICE TOWARDS THEIR RECKLESS WIRING MATCH IF SHE COULD BE NEXT IN THIS MATCH! THIS IS GOING TO BE HER CAREER-DEFINING MOMENT, THAT’S ONE THING! WE ARE ABOUT TO SEE ANOTHER UPSET HERE!
Persephone: I don’t get the hype of this match. I just want to watch the Main Event already. This is absolutely something I didn’t ask for tonight at all.
Rich Russillo: NO, Bethany is still alive! She uses the other hand that isn’t being injured by Sierra, trying to hammer her on top of Sierra’s head and avoiding the move that Sierra is just about to apply! Sierra is trying to put her down, but nothing works, and she, unfortunately, has to let Sierra off the hook! Both feet land on the ground by Bethany behind her, and Bethany grabs her…
James Peters: A RIPCORD FOREARM IS BEING CONNECTED BY BETHANY THIS TIME! BETHANY FOLLOWS IT UP WITH AN ELBOW! AND A SECOND! AND A THIRD! SIERRA IS BACKED INTO THE CORNER, AND NOW BETHANY JUST BEGINS TO STOMP AWAY AT HER!! BETHANY WITH STOMP AFTER STOMP AS SHE SEEMS TO BE WORKING WITH THE PAIN HER ANKLE MUST BE IN, AND NOW THE REFEREE IS BEGINNING A COUNT TO FORCE HER AWAY!
Rich Russillo: Bethany backs off at four, AND NOW SIERRA PUSHES HER OUT OF THE CORNER BEFORE GOING FOR A SUPERKICK- BUT BETHANY DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE DELIVERING A LEG SWEEP!!!! BETHANY NOW RUNNING THE ROPES, AND SHE DELIVERS A KNEE DROP ONTO SIERRA’S HEAD! Dr. Bethany Blue is on fire, and that’s the experience of a former World Champion coming into play here! This was never going to be an easy match for Sierra, but right now she’s really seeing Bethany go to work.
Persephone: Blah blah blah, get it over with already.
James Peters: Dr. Bethany Blue pulls Sierra up, AND SIERRA LANDS A PUNCH TO THE MIDSECTION- BUT BETHANY QUICKLY FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A STRIKE OF HER OWN- WHICH SIERRA DUCKS UNDER! There was a brief hesitation as Bethany had to avoid using the bad hand, AND THAT ALLOWED SIERRA TO CONNECT WITH A FOREARM! BETHANY IS ABLE TO RETALIATE THOUGH, AS SHE DELIVERS A KNEE BEFORE PULLING SIERRA INTO AN IRISH WHIP, SENDING HER INTO THE ROPES!
Rich Russillo: DROPKICK BY SIERRA EVERETT!!!! Dr. Bethany Blue drops to the mat, and now Sierra Everett is looking to capitalize as she DELIVERS A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP ONTO THE MIDSECTION!!!! Sierra Everett is in control right now, and just imagine what a victory tonight could do for her! A win over a former World Champion ahead of her clash with Sienna Jade would be huge!
James Peters: Dr. Bethany Blue sits up and holds her midsection in pain, AND SIERRA USES THAT OPPORTUNITY TO TRY AND CONNECT WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK- BUT BETHANY HAD IT SCOUTED! BETHANY DUCKS UNDER BEFORE PUSHING HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET, AND NOW SIERRA CHARGES IN- WOAH!!! BETHANY JUST POPPED SIERRA UP BEFORE DROPPING HER WITH THE REMEDY!!!
Rich Russillo: SHE NAILS IT! SHE JUST DROPS SIERRA WITH HER SIGNATURE CUTTER! BETHANY HAS SIERRA RIGHT WHERE SHE WANTED, AND SIERRA IS ALREADY DOWN! BETHANY’S HAND MAY BE STILL HURT, BUT SIERRA IS DOWN! THAT’S ALREADY ENOUGH FOR BETHANY! BETHANY NOW SLOWLY PICKS SIERRA OFF THE GROUND, AND SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE HAS IT ALL SET UP! BETHANY SEIZES SIERRA FROM BEHIND AND LOOKS FOR THE ‘WHIPLASH’ VOODOO STYLE DROP ON SIERRA THAT COULD END IT ALL THERE!
James Peters: SIERRA JUMPS UP AND STEPS TO THE SIDE OF BETHANY, GOING UNDER HER LEGS AND IMMEDIATELY LIFTS HER OFF THE GROUND! SHE’S ATTEMPTING ‘MOUNT EVERETT’ AGAIN! SIERRA COULD BE SETTING IT ALL DONE THERE!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY ESCAPES AGAIN! BETHANY LANDS ON BOTH FEET AGAIN! SIERRA SWINGS AND A MISS! SIERRA TURNS BACK AROUND AND CHARGES AT BETHANY!… OHHHHHHHHH! ‘CODE BLUE’ WITH THE INJURED HAND! IT CONNECTS! SIERRA DOWN! COVER BY BETHANY!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEE!
( DING DING DING! )
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… DR. BETHANY BLUE!
Persephone: God is good. This shit is over.
James Peters: What a way to win by Dr. Bethany Blue. Surely, she was struggling fighting in this match with an injured hand that she had to get through. Sierra may try and wear her down in every possible way, but in the end, The Doctor stands tall as the winner of this match.
Rich Russillo: That shot of ‘Code Blue’ goes in real hard; it could put Sierra out cold. Bethany’s strength is different!
Persephone: Wait, what is she doing here again?
( ‘Somebody Call Me A Doctor’ by Van Helen plays. The camera pans from the ring to where Bethany’s eyes go, showing Sienna Jade walking in from the crowd area and smiling while watching Bethany win the match. Bethany just looks at Sienna, then looks down to Sierra as she shrugs and leaves the ring, still holding her injured hand. Sienna then begins jumping over the barricade and goes inside the ring while looking down at Sierra, who just got up and is sitting there, watching Sienna approaching her. Sienna giggles a bit, then she heads to the corner behind her, picks up a microphone from under the corner, and begins speaking… )
Sienna Jade: It looks like you’re still a loser anywhere you go, Sierra. There’s no secret about it; the whole world knows the true Sierra Everett, and all she has always been is just the best in her own little world inside her head. In this reality, the one we all live in, she has been a nobody since day one. Here you are, you have your Reckless Wiring match coming up, yet you show nothing to make me feel like I actually need to start taking you seriously. Why? Because you are Sierra Everett. You can’t be taken seriously. You’re one of the biggest laughing stocks of this women’s division that EAW has ever seen, and when you step into Reckless Wiring, facing the most formidable opponent you’ll face in your entire lackluster career, that being me… you’ll be singing the same old tune, the same joke that everyone’s in on.
( Sierra begins picking herself up and stands tall to face Sienna after hearing what she said about herself. )
Sienna Jade: What’s up?
( Sienna drops the microphone as she immediately slaps Sierra’s face. Sierra Everett, who still feels tied from the aftermath against Bethany Blue, is barely responsive, only beginning to finally push herself to a knee after that slap.)
Sienna Jade: (Off-Mic) Come on, you fucking bitch. Is that really sll you’ve got?? You’re my Reckless Wiring opponent, right?? Do something… DO SOMETH-
James Peters: SIERRA CATCHES SIENNA JADE OFF GUARD WITH A HARD RIGHT HAND! SIENNA NOW BEGINNING TO FIGHT BACK, AND NOW WE HAVE A BRAWL ON OUR HANDS AS SIENNA CLEARLY DIDN’T EXPECT THAT!!!!
Rich Russillo: SIENNA JADE CONNECTS WITH AN ELBOW THAT DROPS SIERRA TO A KNEE!!! SIERRA PUSHES HERSELF BACK UP AS SIENNA SWINGS AT HER- BUT SIERRA DUCKS UNDER AND LIFTS SIENNA ONTO HER SHOULDERS!… ‘MOUNT EVERETT’ ONE-HAND ELECTRIC CHAIR DRIVER BY SIERRA!
( There is a loud mixed reaction as Sienna Jade is seen laid out on the mat. Sierra slicks her hair back and looks down at Sienna Jade, whom she just took down, as ‘All Mine’ by Kanye West begins playing. The final shot shows Sierra stepping over Sienna’s body and throwing her hand up in the air, implying that she was ‘simply better’ than Sienna Jade there, as the scene fades. )
( Sunday Night Voltage continues on as backstage we see Sofia Clarke, wearing a professional light blue dress. She is standing there, with a lot of confidence as she stares directly into the camera and tells the viewers watching at home of what she has to say. )
Sofia Clarke: Ladies and Gentlemen, we continue here on Sunday Night Voltage to discuss the road to Bloodsport, and how weeks careers could be altered and changed at that event. Please welcome at this time, the women who’ll be challenging Milli Banks for the EAW Specialist Championship, Jamie Cross!
(In the frame enters Jamie Cross who is still in her in-ring attire, and is wearing a towel around her neck after her match-up with Juggalo Sally that happened to kick off the show. Jamie looks more collected, and has recharged since that opening match and is looking to be in good spirits, especially considering how it ended. She looks happy to talk with Sofia as Jamie asks her. )
Jamie Cross: Hey Sofia, how have you been?
Sofia Clarke: I’m doing great Jamie thanks for asking! I wanted to ask you about your mindset and what you have been preparing heading into your match against Milli Banks at Bloodsport which will now be a Taipei Deathmatch.
Jamie Cross: Yep it’s a Taipei Deathmatch which landed on the Bloodsport Wheel of Death. As I said last week, matches of that caliber aren’t particularly my favorite. It’s not really my forte if I’m being honest but that isn’t going to stop me from becoming the Specialist Champion. I’m not going to let this dislike of these kinds of stipulation matches be the roadblock as to why I won’t walk out of Bloodsport as your new EAW Specialist Champion. I refuse to let that be the case because no matter if It’s Taipei Deathmatch where our fists will be wrapped in bandages of broken glass, no matter how much blood may be spewed, no matter how violent it may get, I won’t let it stop me from achieving my goal of taking Milli’s title.
Sofia Clarke: Well Jamie, Milli believes that no matter the stipulation or the scenario it’s going to be her walking out of Bloodsport still the champ and that you haven’t felt the pain she has felt here in EAW. What do you think of Milli’s comments from last week?
Jamie Cross: Milli is just a little bit too confident to say she’ll beat me. I mean she can bring up that this season is going champion tingz and ace tingz and whatever but I have faced doubts like this before. Yes I may not have gone through the same stuff Milli has gone through in her career this far in Elite Answers Wrestling, but this isn’t my first rodeo when it comes to championships. I faced off against Caroline back at Super Dynasty for that New Breed Championship and I was unsuccessful at that. This isn’t my first title opportunity, I have suffered defeat before for a title and I EARNED this opportunity to face off against her and when I won that right back at the biggest show this company has every single year. I beat two great Elitists in Usagi and Lexi so if Milli wants to keep thinking that she will reign this entire season as champ, that’s fine. I’ll prove her wrong, and surprise her when I’m the one standing tall in our Taipei Death Match and I leave Copenhagen as your NEW S-
( Before Jamie Cross could say anything else, her interview would be interrupted as off screen we would hear someone say something as both Sophia and Jamies would turn their head around. The camera would pan over to reveal none other than our EAW World Champion, Drake King! The #FashionICON is seen wearing a checkered light purple suit, whilst wearing big ridiculous shades. He looks like in a better mood then what he was last week as Drake begins speaking towards both Sofia and Jamie. )
Drake King: You don’t mind if your Messiah steps in to speak his mind right Sofia?
Sophia Clarke: Well you’re already talking so…
Drake King: Excellent because I want to discuss what happened to me last week and the events that transpired. You know as God I thought I was doing the right thing. You know, having a discussion between all four my challengers that I’ll be facing at Bloodsport. A discussion that I thought went pretty successful in my books, as all three of them argued amongst themselves and I ended up standing tall at the end with our little brawl. Once again I feel blessed to have set a great example of how business should be handled and I’m going to set an even better example moving forward for everybody!!! I wanna offer some great advice to the young and up-coming stars of this company and I’m looking at one right now.
( Drake has his full attention towards Jamie Cross, as he continues on… )
Drake King: So Jamie would you like some advice from the #FashionICON aka your World Champion?
( Jamie looks a bit taken back from Drake’s offer, as she looks surprised he would offer to her. Jamie would answer back to Drake. )
Jamie Cross: Ummmmm, I don’t really know why you would give advice to someone like me. I appreciate the compliment but I don’t know it seems out of the blue you would do something like this, don’t get me wrong I appreciate you wanna offer me advice especially someone of your stature but I don’t know if-
Drake King: No trust me, it’s worth your time!
Jamie Cross: Alright sure I guess
Drake King: :blessed: Lovely! Now listen Jamie you have the tools to be someone great here in EAW and here on Voltage. I mean you won at Pain for Pride like you said, that in of itself is a great feat to have in your young career. What I think you need to change up though is the way you are dressing, and the types of clothes you wear.
( Jamie looks confused as Drake continues on. )
Drake King: I don’t mean to be disrespectful Jamie but I saw the type of clothes you were wearing last week when you and Milli Banks were spinning The Bloodsport Wheel of Death. You walked out onto that stage wearing a white-and-red Scarlet Witch T-Shirt??? With gray jeans that were ripped in half??? As the king of fashion, as your messiah, your god, I think you can wear something better than that. I think you can improve your clothing style to the fullest and truly embrace your style to be something more flashy. Perhaps being more like me and the style that I show off! I mean the fans have loved their #FashionICON with the outfits I wear and you can get that same love too Jamie.
( Jamie looks at Sophia and then back at Drake with a confused look on her face as she answers back saying… )
Jamie Cross: Was that really your piece of advice for me?
Drake King: Yes of course!
Jamie Cross: I don’t get why you needed to say my style of clothing needs a change up for this interview to be interrupted. Seems pretty weird to do that when I was answering questions from Sophia.
Drake King: No one of great fashion was going to tell you that, trust me. Your Messiah knows best!
( Before Drake could say anything else towards Jamie, we would hear someone shout… )
???: Hey!!!!!
( Everybody would look on their left as Alex Myers enters into the frame wearing their in ring attire, as they are also recovering from having a match earlier in the show as they teamed with Ruler to battle the Off-Brand Amphetamines. While that match ended somewhat controversially, Alex and Ruler did pick up the win. At this point Sophia would step back from these three Elitists as Alex steps in front of Drake as Jamie is behind both of them. Alex goes off on Drake as they tell him… )
Alex Myers: Hey Listen Drake, I don’t appreciate you bothering my friend Jamie over here. I overheard what you’re saying to her and she doesn’t need to change her style to be more like yours. Jamie doesn’t need to hear stupid advice like what you were giving right now, she has a lot of other things to worry about, and that includes having a Specialist Championship match at Bloodsport. There’s other things you should be worrying about Drake, other things that you need your focus on like the three other challengers that are threats to you in taking that World Championship you have on your shoulder, and ending this perfect world of yours at Bloodsport. You should be worrying about that instead of giving out tips of “fashion” to people who have their own business to handle.
Drake King: I’m giving your friend a friendly piece of advice on how she can change her style and evolve herself into the next step of her career. If anything you should be thanking me that I’m giving Jamie something that can actually help her out.
Alex Myers: Yeah I don’t think anyone believes that to be actual useful advice. Like I said you should be worrying about other things, other things that can end that reign of yours… “Messiah”.
Drake King: I highly doubt that… “Guardian Angel”.
( Alex Myers and Drake King would have an intense staredown as the tension is clearly in the air between these two adversaries as Jamie herself can feel the intensity of the staredown between Alex and Drake. Alex then speaks as they looks towards Jamie. )
Alex Myers: I’m sorry you had to hear this guy speak nonsense about you Jamie. He just loves to just spew whatever garbage he wants to push. The way you dress is fine, you shouldn’t change just because our World Champion over here thinks everyone should dress like him and worship him. Don’t even pay him any attention.
Drake King: Now hold a second, why are you speaking on behalf of your friend? She can speak her own free mind Alex, she doesn’t need a mouthpiece to form her opinion, especially not a mouthpiece like yourself. So I ask you this young Jamie, are you going to take advice from me, God? OR take advice from someone who is about to get destroyed and brutalized come Bloodsport?
Jamie Cross: :lupe:… Well…..
(Alex doesn’t look amused at what Drake had to say that they were going to get destroyed and brutalized come Bloodsport. Jamie responds back to Drake’s question on whose advice she’ll take… )
Jamie Cross: Well Drake, as much as I respect you as a performer and an Elitist who’s done great things here in EAW, I’m going to trust the advice of Alex. I don’t think I need to change myself to be like you, or be like anyone else for that matter. I just want to be my own person and dress how I want to dress. You don’t get to have an opinion on what I can and can not wear, especially someone who sees himself as God which I don’t think you are.
( Drake’s demeanor shifts to a whole 180 as he looks visibly angry someone would tell him he’s not god. He blows a gasket towards Jamie! )
Drake King: HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT! HOW DARE YOU SAY I’M NOT GOD! I AM GOD I’LL RUIN YOUR LIFE, I’LL END YOUR-
( BAM! )
( Alex would land a straight right jab to Drake’s face for yelling at Jamie like that. Alex would connect with that punch as Drake would feel it in his jaw. EAW officials around the area would quickly come in to diffuse the situation if it spiraled into a full blown fight between Drake and Alex. No such fight would occur as Drake would put his hands up and leave the scene under his own power. Alex tells officials to not touch them as he too leaves the scene. Jamie and Sofia both look at one another and shake their heads, as this was not planned. This segment would fade as Sunday Night Voltage went to commercial. )
(Commercial for Barbie, featuring Candice Blair.)
(Voltage returns to ringside, and ‘LIKE IT! LOVE IT!’ by Setsuna Yuki is heard playing. The fans cheer as the camera cuts to the commentary table, where Ayu Megumi is seen alongside James Peters, Rich Russillo and Persephone.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is a SIX-PERSON TAG TEAM MATCH, SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… PLEASE WELCOME AYU MEGUMI!!!!!
James Peters: Ayu, thank you for joining us tonight. I know things did not go as planned at Midsummer Massacre, but I’m sure this will be an excellent match.
Ayu Megumi: Thank you, and you’re right. I’m disappointed that things turned out the way they did, and I’m still hurting after that match, but I wanted to see what my Bloodsport opponents could do.
(‘Aerials’ by System of a Down hits to loud boos, and Mr. Wrestling XIX begins walking out to the stage. Without hesitation he begins walking down the ramp, and his music is eventually replaced by ‘Won’t Back Down’ by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. This causes more cheers and creates a mixed reaction as Michael S. Connor walks out, and Michael is willing to wait on the stage for their final partner as ‘The World Is Mine’ by Mikey Rukus hits. The mixed reaction continues as Korey Gaines walks out, and the two men begin walking down the ramp behind Mr. Wrestling XIX.)
Bella Braxton: Making their way to the ring… At a combined weight of 613 pounds… THE TEAM OF MR. WRESTLING XIX, MICHAEL S. CONNOR, AND KOREY GAINES!!!!
James Peters: These are three of the Elitists you’ll be facing at Bloodsport. So, what do you think about their chances in a match like this?
Ayu Megumi: I’m sure they’ll be a challenge at Bloodsport, but I’m not sure how well they’ll work tonight. They don’t have amazing history with each other, but I’m not so sure if their egos are as bad as the other team.
Rich Russillo: That’s a fair point. I’m looking forward to seeing how this goes myself.
(‘good 4 u’ by Olivia Rodrigo hits to loud boos, and Valerie Hellstorm walks out. She has a confident look on her face as she walks down the ramp, but when ‘Imma Be’ by the Black Eyed Peas hits, she looks more annoyed. Bea Valentine rushes up to Valerie, walking directly in front of her as she makes her way down the ramp. Valerie and Bea argue on the way down the ramp, and eventually Bea’s music is replaced with ‘Let Me See’ by Chief Keef and Tadoe. The boos continue as Dray Fontana walks out, completely ignoring Bea and Valerie and focusing on his opponents.)
Bella Braxton: And their opponents… At a combined weight of 488 pounds… DRAY FONTANA, BEA VALENTINE, AND VALERIE HELLSTORM!!!!
James Peters: Well right away we’re seeing what you were talking about, Ayu.
Ayu Megumi: That’s right. This is just a bad pairing. I already don’t like Valerie, and Bea’s attitude isn’t much different.
Rich Russillo: We’ll have to see how this one plays out, but it definitely won’t be an easy one for anyone involved.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: And this match is underway! It looks like Bea Valentine is starting the-
(*TAG!*)
Valerie Hellstorm: (off-mic) :comeagain:
James Peters: Nevermind! Bea just tagged Valerie in, so I guess Val-
(*TAG!*)
James Peters: :francis: Alright. Valerie just tagged Bea back into the match. I really hope these two won’t keep-
(*TAG!*)
Rich Russillo: If it makes you feel any better, that time it was Dray Fontana tagging himself in, and it looks like he’ll be starting this one off against Mr. Wrestling XIX! Bea and Valerie clearly weren’t too eager to start off the match, but these two have no problem with it as they quickly lock up in the middle of the ring!
Ayu Megumi: Mr. Wrestling has the advantage so far as he pulls Dray into a headlock, and he quickly transitions into a grounded one. I’m glad I’m getting this opportunity to see what my Bloodsport opponents can do, because I don’t think it’ll take very long for this match to start heating up.
Persephone: I don’t care about that, I need to know how long it’ll take to END! I’m not here to watch six losers fight. The only way I’d want to see that is if it was to the death.
James Peters: Dray Fontana escapes the headlock with a headscissors and now both Elitists return to their feet- AS MR. WRESTLING DROPS DRAY WITH A CLOTHESLINE! DRAY STUMBLES INTO THE CORNER, AND NOW MR. WRESTLING RUNS IN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!!! MR. WRESTLING NOW PULLING DRAY IN, BEFORE DELIVERING A SNAP SUPLEX! Dray might be in some trouble here as Mr. Wrestling immediately transitions into a rear chinlock, looking to slow this one down as Dray is having some trouble getting into this one! He may need some help from his partners!
Ayu Megumi: Yeah, right. I doubt Bea and Valerie will be much help.
Rich Russillo: Dray is able to start pushing himself back up, AND NOW HE TAKES MR. WRESTLING XIX DOWN WITH A SNAPMARE! MR. WRESTLING GETS RIGHT BACK UP BEFORE STUMBLING BACKWARDS- AND KOREY GAINES TAGS HIMSELF IN! KOREY GAINES NOW WITH A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY, AND WHILE I’M NOT SO SURE THAT’LL SIT WELL WITH MR. WRESTLING, IT SUCCESSFULLY TOOK OUT DRAY FONTANA! Both men get back up and now Korey irish whips Dray into the ropes-
(*TAG!*)
Rich Russillo: Dray is able to stop himself as Korey runs in- BUT BEA VALENTINE CATCHES KOREY OFF GUARD WITH A SCHOOL GIRL ROLL UP!!! SHE TAGGED HERSELF IN AND NOW SHE PLANS TO STEAL IT!
ONE!
TW-
Persephone: Korey Gaines kicked out. :francis:
James Peters: I don’t think Bea was really expecting a kickout there, BUT SHE KICKS KOREY IN THE MIDSECTION BEFORE GAINES COULD RETALIATE, AND NOW SHE SENDS HIM INTO THE CORNER BEFORE BEGINNING TO STOMP AWAY AT HIM! THE REFEREE NOW BEGINNING TO COUNT, BUT BEA IS ABLE TO STOP AT THE COUNT OF FOUR, NOT GETTING HERSELF DISQUALIFIED! The referee now getting in between both Elitists to separate them, AND NOW KOREY GOES AFTER BEA- but Bea just tagged Valerie Hellstorm back into the match!
Valerie Hellstorm: (off-mic) :francis:
Ayu Megumi: Well, that’s to be expected. Those two were never going to get along. The other team looks perfectly fine compared to Bea and Valerie.
Rich Russillo: Valerie gets in the ring and immediately starts arguing with Bea Valentine, and I really think these two were not meant to be on the same team. Valerie just rolls her eyes before turning away- AND KOREY GAINES PULLS HER INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE!!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THR-
Rich Russillo: VALERIE HELLSTORM KICKS OUT!!!! GAINES IMMEDIATELY LOOKS FOR A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP, BUT VALERIE IS ABLE TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE GETTING BACK TO HER FEET! All that arguing nearly cost their team the match, and it looks like now Valerie has her focus on her actual opponent! Valerie runs in before kneeing Korey in the midsection, BUT KOREY RESPONDS WITH AN UPPERCUT, CAUSING VALERIE TO STUMBLE BACKWARDS! Korey Gaines now sending Valerie into an empty corner before running in, BUT VALERIE GETS OUT OF THE WAY, CAUSING GAINES TO CRASH INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! VALERIE WITH AN ELB- WAIT NO! THAT WASN’T AN ELBOW!
James Peters: VALERIE RAKED THE EYES!!! VALERIE RAKES THE EYES AND THAT BLINDS KOREY GAINES AS HE STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER! VALERIE NOW JUST BEGINNING TO PUNCH AWAY AT GAINES AS GAINES DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE, AND WHILE THAT WAS A VERY DIRTY MOVE IT CLEARLY GAVE VALERIE THE ADVANTAGE SHE WANTED! VALERIE NOW RUNNING THE ROPES, AND SHE RUNS IN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SUPERKICK! VALERIE NOW WITH A COVER OF HER OWN!
ONE!
TW-
James Peters: AND KOREY GAINES IS ABLE TO KICK OUT! Valerie looks mad knowing Gaines is still in this, so she pulls him up… BEFORE GOING FOR THE BEAUTIFUL TRAGEDY!!!
Rich Russillo: KOREY DUCKED UNDER IT!!!! KOREY MANAGED TO DUCK UNDER IT BEFORE DIVING OUT TO HIS CORNER, TAGGING IN MAJOR MICHAEL S. CONNOR!!!! THE MAJOR QUICKLY GETS IN THE RING AS VALERIE TURNS TOWARDS HIM, AND THERE’S A CLOTHESLINE TO TAKE HER TO THE MAT! VALERIE GETS BACK UP, AND MICHAEL TAKES HER DOWN WITH ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE!!!! VALERIE STUMBLES BACK UP, AND NOW MICHAEL GRABS HER BEFORE GOING FOR A GERMAN SUPLE- NO! VALERIE FLIPS OUT OF IT BEFORE-
(*TAG!*)
(Valerie Hellstorm immediately rolls out onto the apron, having tagged Bea Valentine into the match.)
Bea Valentine: (off-mic) What are you doing???? Can’t you do anything yourself???
Valerie Hellstorm: (off-mic) You’re supposed to be my partner, right?? GET IN THE RING THEN!
Ayu Megumi: This is actually unbelievable. Bea is getting in the ring, but at this point this is getting ridiculous. Are we really going to watch these two keep arguing over and over?
Persephone: I know, right??? Can we just see this match end already, I’m tired of this already.
Ayu Megumi: :whoa: I’d like to see them keep wrestling.
James Peters: Bea Valentine circles the ring with Michael S. Connor, AND BEA LOOKS FOR ANOTHER ROLL UP, BUT MICHAEL HAD IT SCOUTED! MICHAEL NOW SWINGING AT BEA- BUT BEA DUCKS UNDER BEFORE KICKING MICHAEL IN THE MIDSECTION! BEA NOW KICKING MICHAEL’S LEG OUT FROM UNDER HIM BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES, AND THERE’S THE BEA TRIGGE- NO! BEA TRIGGER DOESN’T CONNECT, MICHAEL MANAGED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY! MICHAEL GRABS BEA FROM BEHIND THOUGH, AND THE GERMAN SUPLEX CONNECTS THIS TIME! Bea Valentine is in a lot of trouble here, AND NOW MICHAEL PULLS HER UP INTO THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK, POSSIBLY LOOKING FOR-
Rich Russillo: NO! BEA WITH A DROP TOE HOLD, SENDING MICHAEL FACE FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE!!!! MICHAEL FALLS INTO A SEATED POSITION IN THE CORNER AND THAT’S REALLY NOT THE BEST PLACE FOR HIM TO BE, AS BEA QUICKLY RUNS INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER BEFORE CHARGING IN! BEA SWARM!!!! BEA SWARM CONNECTS, AND BEA VALENTINE QUICKLY DRAGS MICHAEL OUT OF THE CORNER BEFORE GOING FOR THE COVER! THIS MIGHT JUST BE IT FOR MICHAEL S. CONNOR!!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
Rich Russillo: NO, MICHAEL MANAGES TO STAY IN THIS ONE AND BEA CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!!
Ayu Megumi: She’ll need to keep going if she wants to win.
James Peters: You’re right about that, as Bea gets up and just begins stomping on Michael S. Connor repeatedly! Michael doesn’t really have anywhere to go right now, which means that he’s being forced to just take these stomps as Bea kicks him out onto the apron! Bea now seemingly taunting Ayu a bit as she’s starting to feel pretty confident about her chances here. Bea now pulling Michael through the ropes as she’s possibly looking for a rope hung DDT- BUT MICHAEL GETS BACK INTO THE RING BEFORE PUSHING BEA AWAY!
Rich Russillo: BEA CHARGES BACK TOWARDS MICHAEL, AND MICHAEL USES HIS LAST BIT OF STRENGTH TO TAKE BEA OUT WITH A BACK BODY DROP!!! BOTH ELITISTS DROP TO THE MAT, AND NOW MICHAEL IS CRAWLING BACK TO HIS CORNER, LOOKING TO POSSIBLY MAKE A TAG HERE THANKS TO THE OPENING HE CREATED FOR HIMSELF! I think Bea Valentine might be looking to do the same, although it looks like she might be able to make it to her corner before the Major could reach his!
Ayu Megumi: Yeah, those knees did a number on him. Bea clearly messed up paying attention to me, but it might not hurt her chances too badly.
James Peters: DRAY FONTANA IS TAGGED BACK INTO THE MATCH, AND DRAY RUSHES IN BEFORE PULLING MICHAEL BY THE LEG, STOPPING HIM FROM REACHING EITHER OF HIS PARTNERS!!!! DRAY PULLS MAJOR UP TO HIS FEET, AND NOW DRAY CONNECTS WITH A ROLLING ELBOW! MICHAEL DROPS TO A KNEE, AND NOW DRAY RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH HIS OWN KNEE LIFT!!! MICHAEL S. CONNOR IS IN TROUBLE RIGHT NOW AS DRAY FONTANA JUST STOPPED A MUCH NEEDED TAG FROM BEING MADE! Bea and Dray obviously dislike each other, but that was a very well timed tag!
Rich Russillo: Dray backs into an empty corner, and it looks like he’s setting up for something here! Michael S. Connor is slowly stumbling back up to his feet, and since he was already hit with a huge move from Bea, one more big move could possibly close up this match! Michael is back to his feet without any idea of what’s coming his way, AND NOW DRAY RUNS IN, LOOKING FOR FONTANA ’96!!!!! IT CONNECT- NO!!! MICHAEL MANAGED TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY, AND NOW THERE’S THE TAG TO MR. WRESTLING!!!!!
Persephone: 🥱 I’m getting tired. This sucks.
James Peters: MR. WRESTLING ENTERS THE RING AND IMMEDIATELY HE’S ON THE ATTACK, RUNNING IN AND DROPPING DAY FONTANA WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!!!! DRAY STUMBLES BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND MR. WRESTLING GRABS HIM BEFORE SENDING HIM INTO THE ROPES!!! DRAY BOUNCES OFF- BUT HE SLIDES UNDER MR. WRESTLING INSTEAD OF FALLING INTO HIS GRASP! DRAY GRABS HIM FROM BEHIND AND GOES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX, BUT MR. WRESTLING DELIVERS A BACK ELBOW THAT FORCES DRAY TO LET GO OF HIM! Both Elitists stumble away from each other, AND NOW MR. WRESTLING XIX DELIVERS A SUPERKICK-
Rich Russillo: NO! DRAY DUCKED UNDER IT BEFORE HITTING MR. WRESTLING WITH A BOOT TO THE JAW! DRAY NOW WITH A SHOOT KICK TO THE CHEST! DRAY WITH A SECOND, AND A THIRD, AND HE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A SPINNING BACK ELBOW!!!! DRAY NOW SCOOPING UP MR. WRESTLING- BUT MR. WRESTLING IS ABLE TO SLIP BEHIND DRAY AND PUSH HIM INTO THE ROPES!!! DRAY BOUNCES OFF, AND NOW THERE’S THE WRESTLING DRIVER!!!!! THE WRESTLING DRIVER CONNECTS, AND NOW THERE’S THE COVER BY MR. WRESTLING!!! IS THAT ALL FOR DRAY FONTANA!?!?
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
Persephone: OH COME ON! WHY DO THEY KEEP KICKING OUT!?!? DID ANYONE ASK FOR THIS, BECAUSE I DEFINITELY DIDN’T!!!!
James Peters: Mr. Wrestling XIX gets back up, and he reluctantly tags Korey Gaines back into the match. Korey Gaines now up to the top rope, and it looks like those two aren’t really on the same page here for pretty obvious reasons! Nonetheless Korey remains on top, AND NOW HE GOES FOR THE MOVE TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY!!!! OKIE DOKIE-
Ayu Megumi: DOESN’T CONNECT! DRAY FONTANA GOT OUT OF THE WAY, HE MANAGED TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY!
Rich Russillo: Terrible landing for Korey Gaines, AND NOW DRAY FONTANA TAGS BEA VALENTINE INTO THE MATCH!!! BEA QUICKLY RUSHES IN AT KOREY, AND SHE DROPS HIM WITH A SUPERKICK JUST AS HE WAS GETTING BACK UP!!!! Bea drags Korey Gaines over to her teams corner, although they’re not exactly in the best shape right now so I’m not too sure how helpful that will be compared to normal tag matches. Nonetheless she pushes Korey Gaines into the corner and begins stomping away at him, AND NOW SHE GOES TO TAG IN-
(Just before she could tag Valerie Hellstorm in, Valerie hops off of the apron. Valerie looks away, pretending as if she didn’t even notice Bea wanted the tag as Bea is clearly annoyed.)
James Peters: Well Bea Valentine doesn’t have anyone to tag in for the time being I guess. It’s just her against Korey Gaines, and at this point I’m not even surprised that things have fallen apart like this! They’ve been failing to work together all match! Bea Valentone begins dragging Korey back up- BUT KOREY GRABS BEA AND PULLS HER FACE FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! KOREY WITH AN EXCELLENT COUNTER, AND THAT ALLOWS KOREY TO MAKE SOME SPACE!
Rich Russillo: Bea pulls herself up in the corner, AND NOW KOREY RUNS IN BEFORE DELIVERING A DROPKICK!!! BEA DOESN’T EVEN KNOW WHERE SHE IS, AND NOW KOREY USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAG IN MICHAEL S. CONNOR!!! BEA IS STILL IN THAT CORNER, AND NOW MICHAEL RUNS IN BEFORE DELIVERING A CLOTHESLINE IN THE CORNER! THE CLOTHESLINE CONNECTS, AND NOW MICHAEL BACKS AWAY FROM THE CORNER BEFORE- Valerie tags herself in??? Ws Valerie messing with Bea!? Valerie takes the opportunity to strike as she gets in the ring, AND SHE DUCKS UNDER A CLOTHESLINE BEFORE DELIVERING A SUPERKICK!
Persephone: Those two really are idiots. They’re like… The exact same person.
James Peters: Bea Valentine is still hurt in the corner, meanwhile Valerie is just punching away at Michael, doing everything she can to try and take him down! Michael is down on a knee, AND NOW THERE’S A SHOOT KICK TO THE CHEST! AND A SECOND! AND A THIRD! THIS I BELIEVE IS CALLED THE “DIE! DIE! KICK BARRAGE”, AND NOW VALERIE GOES TO FINISH IT OFF WITH A- OH WHAT THE HELL!?!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?
Ayu Megumi: There it is! It was only a matter of time before this happened!
Rich Russillo: BEA VALENTINE JUST DROPPED VALERIE WITH AN ELBOW!!! BEA JUST HIT HER OWN PARTNER, AND I DON’T THINK VALERIE CAN BELIEVE IT HERSELF! VALERIE GETS BACK UP TO HER FEET, AND NOW BEA AND VALERIE ARE JUST ARGUING WITH EACH OTHER!
(Within just a few seconds, the arguing between Bea and Valerie becomes physical as the two begin to shove each other. As Dray recovers and gets back up on the apron he notices this, and decides to just tag himself in as he sees things about to escalate.)
James Peters: VALERIE HELLSTORM JUST PUNCHED BEA VALENTINE, AND NOW BEA PUNCHES HER BACK!!!! BEA AND VALERIE ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH- AND NOW BEA TAKES VALERIE DOWN WITH A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN BEFORE BEGINNING TO PUNCH AWAY AT HER! VALERIE MANAGES TO TURN AND GET ON TOP OF BEA THOUGH, AND NOW SHE’S THE ONE THAT’S PUNCHING ON HER OWN PARTNER! THESE TWO ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH- AND NOW THEY ROLL OUT OF THE RING AS THEY KEEP STRUGGLING FOR CONTROL!
Ayu Megumi: I think it’s safe to say this match has gone out of the window. Dray is on his own now.
Rich Russillo: Dray enters the ring, and at the same time Michael S. Connor tags Mr. Wrestling XIX back into the match! Dray quickly charges in- BUT THIS TIME HE SAW MR. WRESTLING’S ATTACK COMING AND SLIPPED BEHIND HIM, BEFORE SENDING HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLES WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!!
Persephone: Are you guys really trying to focus on this match with those idiots fighting on the outside!? We might as well just call this match off, it’s not like anyone was actually interested in it in the first place.
Ayu Megumi: I’m sure Dray would love for it to be called off right now. He doesn’t have anyone to tag!
James Peters: That’s right, and that’s going to be a really big problem for him!
(As the action in the ring continues, Bea Valentine sends Valerie Hellstorm into the ring post. Valerie stumbles away from it and Bea runs in to try and capitalize, but Valerie is able to rake Bea’s eyes. This gives Valerie an advantage as she grabs Bea, but Bea is able to poke Valerie in the eye in return. Valerie covers her eye in pain, but before Bea could attack Valerie uses her free hand to elbow her.)
Rich Russillo: Dray Fontana pulls Mr. Wrestling away from the corner, and that right there was really important given that Michael and Korey could’ve tagged themselves in! Dray Fontana now dragging Mr. Wrestling back up, AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE DRAY MAY BE SETTING UP FOR THE MAGNA CARTA!!!! DRAY IS SETTING UP FOR THE MAGNA CARTA- BUT WAIT A SECOND!!! MR. WRESTLING IS ABLE TO DROP DOWN ON HIS FEET AND SLIP BEHIND DRAY FONTANA!!! MR. WRESTLING NOW SHOVING DRAY INTO THE ROPES- AND KOREY GAINES CONNECTS WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZUIGIRI!!!!!!
James Peters: KOREY GAINES JUST KICKED DRAY FONTANA IN THE FACE, AND NOW MR. WRESTLING HITS DRAY IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A HUGE LARIAT!!! MR. WRESTLING LOOKS ABOUT READY TO FINISH THIS ONE UP, AND DRAY’S LACK OF PARTNERS IN THIS SITUATION MIGHT JUST BE THE REASON FOR HIS DEMISE!
(The brawl continues at ringside, and Valerie Hellstorm sends Bea Valentine crashing into the barricade before beginning to stomp away at her. Valerie pulls Bea back up before connecting with an elbow, but Bea pushes Valerie away before kneeing her in the midsection, and shoving her into the apron. Ayu Megumi can’t help but turn her attention to the brawl going on, and she’s not too amused by it considering that it disrupted the match.)
James Peters: MR. WRESTLING QUICKLY PULLS DRAY INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING BEFORE APPLYING THE FRONT FACELOCK, AND NOW HE SETS DRAY UP BEFORE LIFTING HIM INTO A SUPLEX POSITION!!! CASH OUT!!!! CASH OUT CONNECTS ON DRAY FONTANA, AND NOW MR. WRESTLING XIX GOES FOR THE COVER, WITH NOBODY THERE TO STOP THE PINFALL!!!!!
(As Korey and Michael watch on, Bea Valentine and Valerie Hellstorm continue to punch each other, completely ignoring the count being made.)
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here are your winners… THE TEAM OF MR. WRESTLING XIX, MICHAEL S. CONNOR, AND KOREY GAINES!!!!
(Mr. Wrestling XIX rolls off of Dray Fontana before slowly getting back to his feet. Michael S. Connor and Korey Gaines enter the ring, meanwhile the brawl continues between Bea Valentine and Valerie Hellstorm, who have made it right in front of the commentary table.)
Ayu Megumi: I’ve had enough of this.
(The sound of a headset being removed and placed down is suddenly heard as Ayu gets out of her seat, climbing on top of the commentary table.)
James Peters: Wait, Ayu! What are you- WOAH!!!! WHAT A MOVE BY AYU MEGUMI!!!!
Rich Russillo: AYU JUST TOOK BOTH BEA AND VALERIE OUT WITH A HUGE DIVING DROPKICK, AND GIVEN HOW MUCH PUNISHMENT THESE TWO HAVE BEEN THROUGH THANKS TO THAT BRAWL AND THIS MATCH, THEY MIGHT NOT BE GETTING BACK UP VERY SOON!
James Peters: Ayu Megumi sending a message right after a very chaotic, yet very entertaining trios match between six of the competitors in the Unique Opportunity match at Bloodsport!
Rich Russillo: This is definitely a match to look forward to. There’s no telling who’ll win with the competitors involved in it. The three men in the ring somehow managed to co-exist for tonight, but all bets are off at Bloodsport.
(‘LIKE IT! LOVE IT!’ hits, and the fans cheer as Ayu stands over Bea Valentine and Valerie Hellstorm. She stares in the ring, and Korey Gaines, Michael S. Connor and Mr. Wrestling XIX are staring right back at her. As the staredown continues, Voltage fades from ringside.)
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where the Unique Opportunity match will take place.)
(The camera cuts to the stage where Voltage General Manager Captain Charisma is shown standing next to the wheel. Gameshow music is playing in the background as the camera zooms into Captain Charisma who gestures towards the wheel and shows off some of the various interesting and strange stipulations listed on it far too many to explain them here.)
Captain Charisma: Welcome back to Voltage!!! What a great show we have had so far here tonight! We are going to be having yet another spinning of the wheel shortly! It is for a match that I am very excited about and I am sure you are all very excited about as well.
(Captain Charisma gestures towards the screen. A replay airs of last week’s confrontation between TLA and Champagne Charlie which led to a match being made between the two at Bloodsport. After the replay ends the camera fades back to Captain Charisma on the stage.)
Captain Charisma: I have indeed made the match official! At Bloodsport it will be TLA defending the EAW Hardcore Championship against the returning Champagne Charlie!!!
(The crowd cheers as they are clearly hyped for the match.)
Captain Charisma: It is going to be one hell of a fight. Since it is the Hardcore Championship I definitely expect that match to put the blood in Bloodsport. :mjgrin:
Crowd: *throws tomatoes*
Captain Charisma: Come on now it wasn’t that bad. It is also true! But for that to happen the match needs to have a very special stipulation. Which is why I am out here yet again with my signature wheel! We are going to give this baby a spin and find out just what the stipulation for the Hardcore Championship Match at Bloodsport is going to be! So at this point I would like to invite the competitors for that match out here to the stage for the spinning ceremony!
Persephone: Ceremony? Bro thinks this is some kind of religious ritual foh.
(“Ambitionz az a Ridah” by Tupac hits as the crowd erupts into cheers and TLA emerges onto the stage. TLA shakes hands with Captain Charisma before being handed the microphone as the music dies down.)
TLA: Yo you know that I just had to come out here immediately to spin this rueda for real. I ain’t even going to bother waiting for the bald ass gringo to get out here. Who knows if he is even going to show up. Since he doesn’t seem to be interested in telling the honest truth about none of that. Nah he prolly isn’t even here tonight and if he is he just gonna hop out of nowhere to jump me off some coward shit. Pero I be here. I be ready to go. Ready to throw down. Ready to spin this wheel. Get it over with and find out what the lucha gonna be. At Bloodsport imma be ready to deal with Charlie after everything I’ve had to deal with these last few weeks. So what do you say Captain? Should I get my spin on?
Captain Charisma: As much as both I and from the sounds of it all of the fans here in attendance would like that. We have to be polite and wait for Champagne Charlie to get out here. I assure you that he is backstage and we should be expecting him shortly. I am sure that he is just as interested in you in finding out what the stipulation to your match will be. If he doesn’t come out that is just his loss because whatever the match is he is going to be competing in it anyway. So Charlie how about you come on o-
( ‘Bubbly’ by Young Thug would begin to blast through the P.A System as Champagne Charlie emerges on the stage with the majority of the fans here in Moncton, New Brunswick booing Champagne Charlie upon his arrival. Charlie is in his in-ring attire as he has a smile across his face as he embraces the boos that are coming his way. Charlie would be handed a microphone as Captain Charisma extends his hand for Charlie to shake. Charlie just looks at it while he smiles and ignores it as Captain Charisma looks extremely confused. )
James Peters: Charlie is looking as Champagne as he can be. I’m surprised he didn’t do a video package announcing he’s arrived here to spin the Bloodsport Wheel of Death.
Rich Russillo: Or the fact that he’ll have his first match back since last December, when he battles against Jack Ripley which will happen relatively soon later tonight. You think he’ll have any ring rust for his first match back?
Persephone: Maybe I don’t know. I think Charlie should just invest in a body double for his match against Jack if he ain’t ready. We won’t be able to tell the difference from an ugly bald dude wrestling.
Rich Russillo: :mjlol:
( Charlie would begin to speak towards TLA and the audience here tonight in New Brunswick as the boos for him would die down as begins to talk. )
Champagne Charlie: If there’s one thing that I am, above all else is that I’m an honest man. That I only spit truth and that’s it, I would never lie because that’s just not who I am. TLA I want you to know dearly as well as Captain Charisma that this whole theatrical spinning of this wheel is pointless. It’s unnecessary in my opinion because there’s no need to spin a wheel for a stipulation, there’s no need to spin this wheel because Champagne Charlie is going to win back his Hardcore Championship from TLA at Bloodsport.
( The crowd would boo that comment as TLA looks annoyed at Charlie’s comment. Charlie would wait for the boos to settle down again as he continued to speak.)
Champagne Charlie: I am better than you in every way imaginable TLA. I’m the brightest out of a room full of people with no aura to their name. Like I said before, I’m the best thing to ever happen to this company and when I’m not here, my absence is felt within everyone’s stomach. It goes downhill when Champagne Charlie isn’t around, and it’s certainly felt when you’re holding a title that is and will be mine come Bloodsport. You’ll never be on the same level as me TLA, nobody will ever be on the level of me. I’m just better than you physically, mentally, spiritaly, and any form you can think of… I’m better than you in all of them. Just accept that TLA and maybe you’ll be able to be more relaxed and calm when I take your title away from you and it becomes mine once again. Voltage is my show you understand m-
TLA: Callate cabron imma stop you right there. You know you been talking that good smack talk but errybody knows you full of shit. You ain’t better than me ese. You better at sitting on the shelf since December that’s what you better at. I can tell from y’all little rant that you been feeling real insecure lately. But that ain’t going to get much better after Bloodsport. You going to find out just how much better you really are which is to say you ain’t. Voltage ain’t your show homie. No es tuyo. No es mio. Voltage ain’t my show neither. Voltage is THEIR show.
(TLA gestures to the cheering fans.)
TLA: So how about we give the people what they want?
( TLA would spin the wheel himself as Charlie looks flabbergasted as to TLA doing that to him. Captain Charisma is taken aback but lets it slide back as the wheel keeps spinning and spinning. Both competitors look on as the wheel eventually lands on… )
(…)
(…)
(…)
Captain Charisma: Well there you have it!
Crowd: :comeagain:
Captain Charisma: TLA vs. Champagne Charlie’s match at Bloodsport will be contested in a ‘Chamber of Blood’ Match!
( The audience looks even more confused as Charlie himself is also baffled as to what a Chamber of Blood match is all about. TLA looks happy with the stipulation in hand as Captain Charisma continues to speak. )
Champagne Charlie: Excuse me? Chamber of Blood??
Captain Charisma: I can see that some of you are a little bit confused about what a Chamber of Blood Match is all about. Well… at this point all I will say is that it is a stipulation that you will all come to learn more about real soon. But for now…
Crowd: :lupe: !!!!
Captain Charisma: All you people need to know… and all you, TLA and Champagne Charlie, need to know… is that there might not have been a better stipulation for your Hardcore Championship Match than this one! I will say that the wheel has a mind of its own sometimes and this time I think it picked perfectly!
Champagne Charlie: Alright well, it doesn’t really matter at the grand scheme of things at the end of the day. Whatever the hell a Chamber of Blood match is, as confusing as that sounds, it won’t matter to me because I’m going to still be walking out of Copenhagen with my Hardcore Championship. This could have been any other stipulation and it wouldn’t have mattered to me because like I said, I’m walking out of Bloodsport with my title that TLA just so happens to hold.
TLA: Camara De Sangre… Sounds real perfect to me. At Bloodsport, Charlie is going to learn that he done messed with the wrong one! His sneak attacks finna come to an end real quick. He going to have to fight me straight up and get these manos. You see Charlie if you wanted your return to go all kinds of smoothly and re-establish yo self as a legit competitor here on Voltage. You done handled it the wrong way. Now you going to have to pay for yo crimes. You stepped to el rey and you missed cuz I still be standing here and you going to find out what happens to those who mess with the Baddest Hombre out.
Champagne Charlie: The Baddest Hombre? HA HA HA what another nice joke from you TLA. You know that’s the second week in a row where you cracked me up and it’s honestly hilarious man. I handled my return the right away, thank you very much and it’s sad that I’m going to cut your Hardcore title reign short because you asked for this TLA. You wanted quote on quote “payback” for that sledgehammer attack on you weeks ago and now you’re biting off more than you can chew. Trust me TLA, it isn’t going to go well for you.
TLA: It’s clear you got a whole lot to say amigo. I hear you dawg. I got a whole lot to say too. The problem is… my fists got a lot to say too!
(TLA lunges at Champagne Charlie and begins throwing fists. Charlie retaliates with fists of his own as they begin to brawl wildly across the stage. Captain Charisma is shown jumping around and moving out of the way of the carnage as he yells for security from backstage.)
Rich Russillo: ALL HELL HAS BROKEN LOOSE! TLA! CHARLIE! TLA! CHARLIE! THEY GOIN’ AT IT!!!
James Peters: This was a situation that couldn’t be handled diplomatically as they are now throwing down on the stage and I sure hope neither of them fall off. We have seen that happen a few too many times. Wait it looks like TLA is getting the advantage in this brawl here!!!
(TLA is shown pummeling Champagne Charlie back up against the entranceway as Charlie is sent back first into the steel of the Voltage set. TLA charges in with a Running Pump Kick but Charlie moves out of the way! TLA kicks the set causing it to malfunction as he turns around right into Charlie!)
Rich Russillo: Charlie has TLA in Suplex! Position! Oh nah! He is going to suplex him right off the stage into the electrical equipment! We need security out here right now!
James Peters: Wait no! TLA reversed it! TLA suplexing Charlie right onto the cold hard steel of the stage!!! Charlie slowly getting back up and I’m not sure that is such a good idea!!!
Rich Russillo: TLA kicks Champagne Charlie in the gut and gets him in position!!! MEXICAN DESTROYER ON THE STAGE!!!
James Peters: TLA just laid out Champagne Charlie with a flipping Piledriver right on the steel stage as security is now finally coming out! But it is too late! TLA laying out Charlie here tonight as security escorts him away. Charlie isn’t moving at all! He still has a match to compete in tonight! How is he going to be in any kind of condition to compete???
(The camera cuts to a commercial for the collab between Lethal Consequences and Taylor Swift.)
(Sunday Night Voltage returns from a brief commercial break, with Champagne Charlie seen inside the ring recuperating from what happened with him and TLA earlier while ‘Bubbly’ by Young Thug is heard playing in the background. TLA had laid him out on the stage and he walked into this match injured, but Charlie has made his way to the ring, and he’s more than ready to fight as Bella Braxton is seen inside the ring as well standing by.)
Bella Braxton: The following singles match is a contest set for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… residing in Las Vegas, Nevada… weighing in at 240 pounds… CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE!!!
(‘Bounce Back’ by Big Sean is heard blasting through the speakers. The crowd cheers loudly as Jack Ripley is seen beginning to make his way out from the backstage area and toward the stage. He’s still recovering from his wounds thanks to the attack by Jamie O’Hara, but regardless he’s fighting through it as he has his eyes completely focused on the ring while making his way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… from Las Vegas, Nevada… weighing in at 205 pounds… ‘THE STRAIGHT SHOOTER’… JACK RIPLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Last week Jack Ripley had an interview about Jamie O’Hara and their match heading into Bloodsport, and it’s really easy to tell the confidence that he has as he’s headed into this. But as we saw earlier in the night, Jamie is not someone who’s going to take the disrespect either, as Jack Ripley was the recipient of an attack at the hands of the former World Champion, and he was left hurting when it was said and done.
James Peters: Now he walks into this match, just as Charlie, not 100%. It’s hard to tell whether or not they’re going to be able to make it through this, but given the history of both Elitists I am certain they are going to tear eachother apart. This is Champagne Charlie’s first match in half a year, and I’m sure he’s going to make sure that he doesn’t start off his return in a loss.
Persephone: Zzzzzz, do not care. Both of them suck, just get this over with.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: The time for talking is finally over. For the first time in a very long time, Champagne Charlie and Jack Ripley are stepping into the ring against one another in singles action. The atmosphere is electric here live from the Auvenir Center right now, and I along with everyone else are very excited to get this one underway!
Persephone: Everyone…?
James Peters: Well you’d also be remiss not to mention that Charlie and Jack are both hurt from attacks by Jamie O’Hara and TLA respectively. Neither of them is coming into this match 100%, and that’s going to come into play as this match goes on.
Persephone: After hearing that TLA and Charlie will be fighting in the Chamber of Blood, I don’t think that I’ll be excited for any Champagne Charlie match until then unless there’s a mountain of blood to come with it! Jack Ripley doesn’t have that in him…
Rich Russillo: WELL IT SEEMS THAT THEY’RE OUT TO PROVE YOU WRONG, CHARLIE AND JACK HAVE COME TO BLOWS! Jack rushed forward and lunged at Charlie like a bull seeing red, but Charlie was prepared as he nailed him with a right, both of them now hammering away at one another with fierce strikes! Charlie grabs the back of his head as he uses his other hand to drive his knuckle into Jack’s face, but Jack isn’t letting up, just wailing off on him as he corners him against the turnbuckle padding!
James Peters: Charlie finds himself in a compromising position right now, with Jack nailing him in the abdomen with a hard knee before throwing him down toward the center of the ring! Charlie rolls forward but quickly manages to get back up to his feet, JUST FOR JACK TO LAUNCH OFF OF THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING AND TAKE CHARLIE BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY! Charlie is taken down while Jack rolls up to his feet, sizing him up as Charlie gets up to a kneeling position…
Rich Russillo: BEFORE JACK STEPS FORWARD AND ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT WITH A ‘YOU’LL FLOAT TOO’ TO THE JAW! SUPERKICK ATTEMPT COMES EARLY!
Persephone: BUT CHARLIE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE GRABBING JACK AND ROLLING HIM UP INTO A SCHOOLBOY PIN! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
James Peters: BUT JACK MANAGES TO KICK OUT BEFORE THREE! Close call as both Elitists are back up now, AS CHARLIE STEPS UP AND CONNECTS WITH A BICYCLE KNEE TO THE FACE! This nails Jack right against the jaw as he falls against the ropes, Charlie approaches, but not before Jack is able to bring his leg up to nail Charlie against the side of the head! Charlie staggers back while Jack takes a moment to compose himself… BEFORE HE TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AND SPRINGS OFF OF THE ROPES, LANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF CHARLIE! HE’S GOING FOR A POISONRANA- BUT THAT ENDS UP UNSUCCESSFUL AS CHARLIE MANAGES TO KEEP HIM UP!
Rich Russillo: Charlie has Jack in an Electric Chair position, but he turns him around so he has him in place for a Powerbomb! He has him hoisted up in the air, but Jack has no intentions to go down easily in the meanwhile, as he doesn’t waste any time teeing off with shots that strike against the top of his head! Charlie is teetering trying to keep him up, AS HE SPINS HIM AROUND AND ATTEMPTS TO DRIVE HIM TO THE GROUND WITH A HUGE SIT-OUT POWERBOMB ATTEMPT TO FINISH THE JOB!
Persephone: BUT JACK THIS TIME RETURNS THE FAVOR AND FLIPS OVER CHARLIE BEFORE ROLLING HIM UP INTO A SUNSET FLIP! LET THIS ONE BE THE END!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
James Peters: BUT ONCE AGAIN THERE’S A KICKOUT! Charlie gets himself out of that precarious position and immediately he’s out of the ring! The former Hardcore Champion escapes to compose himself and evaluate the situation. Given that he’s not at 100% along with the fact that this is his first match coming back from injury, you can only assume that it’s in his best interest not to come into this all guns blazing.
Persephone: That would be great, because then he could reaggravate his injury, and we won’t see him for the rest of the year! It works out for all of us!
Rich Russillo: WELL JACK IS CERTAINLY OUT TO DO SOMETHING CLOSE TO THE SORT, HE JUST LAUNCHED HIMSELF THROUGH THE ROPES AND DROPPED CHARLIE DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! Jack is up to his feet as the crowd roar in approval, quickly grabbing Charlie by the head and rolling him back into the ring! Charlie staggers up to his feet near the ropes, unbeknownst to him that Jack has just climbed up onto the apron, and is immediately eyeing the competition at hand…
James Peters: AS HE LEAPS OVER THE TOP ROPE, GRABBING CHARLIE BY THE HEAD AS HE ATTEMPTS TO SPIKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SLINGSHOT DDT!
Rich Russillo: BUT CHARLIE AVOIDS IT JUST IN TIME BY MANAGING TO STEP OUT OF THE WAY IN ORDER TO AVOID IMMEDIATE DOOM! He rushes to the opposite side of the ring and back while a stunned Jack slowly gets himself up to a knee… JUST FOR CHARLIE TO DRIVE A KNEE AGAINST THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD TO TAKE HIM OUT COMPLETELY! Jack is dropped down to the canvas like a sack of bricks while Charlie grabs him by the arm and heaves him toward the center of the ring, bringing him back up to his feet… BUT THAT’S ONLY BEFORE JACK RESPONDS WITH A KNEE OF HIS OWN, LEAPING UP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING SQUARE AGAINST HIS JAW! Charlie is hurt and is left stirring in the air, meanwhile, Jack sees this as the perfect opportunity to capitalize, running to the ropes and back… LEAPING ONTO CHARLIE’S SHOULDERS AND TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A SWIFT HURRICANRANA!
James Peters: BUT BEFORE THE MOMENTUM CAN FULLY SHIFT, CHARLIE POPS HIM OFF HIS SHOULDERS AND GRABS HIM AROUND THE WAIST, DRIVING HIM DOWN WITH ‘THE HEADMASTER RITUAL’! SPINEBUSTER CATCHES JACK RIPLEY OUT OF MIDAIR AND SPIKES HIM DOWN! CHARLIE ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG! WILL THIS BE THE END OF THE MATCH?!
Persephone: YES!!! PLEASE!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHH-
Persephone: NO!!! PLEASE!!! JACK DON’T KICK OUT!!! :noah:!!!
Rich Russillo: JACK RIPLEY REFUSES TO QUIT AND GETS THE SHOULDER UP IN TIME! Both of these Elitists know each other so well, but it’s only a matter of time before one manages to outsmart the other, the question is who is that going to be? Charlie’s patience looks like it’s beginning to wear thin after that kick out, but he’s quickly getting back up to his feet looking to stay on the prowl. On the other hand, Jack is quickly retreating away, rolling himself toward the edge of the ring and looking to grab a hold of the ropes to help himself up at a faster pace, but as long as he’s up and moving I’m certain that Charlie is going to make sure it doesn’t!
James Peters: Charlie has him by the head and begins to slowly bring him back up to his feet, he looks to bring him back toward the center of the ring, but before he can bring him up completely it’s Jack that manages to drive his elbow straight into his chest! He continues to wail away and ultimately forces Charlie to release, leaving Jack to stagger backward and fall against the ropes for support. This gives him the chance to recuperate while Charlie looks like he’s fuming, RUSHING OVER AND LOOKING TO CLOTHESLINE HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING ELSE!
Rich Russillo: BUT JACK MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AND SEND CHARLIE THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE INSTEAD! Charlie doesn’t tumble out of the ring and instead manages to land on the apron, catching himself before he can plummet to the ground. He’s up to his feet, only to be met with a forearm shot straight to the face by Jack which keeps him at bay! Charlie manages to hold on, BEFORE GOING UNDER AND CONNECTING WITH A SHOULDER THRUST TO THE ABDOMEN! Jack is doubled over while Charlie grabs a hold of him by the head… JUST FOR JACK TO MANAGE TO BREAK FREE AND LEAP UP TO CONNECT WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF THE FACE WHICH SENDS CHARLIE DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA ONCE AGAIN!
Persephone: Why is that idiot not going after him?! If I were Jack I would want to finish this match as quickly as possible given the condition that he’s in! Or maybe that’s just me…
James Peters: Well given the state he’s in he has more than enough reason to use this opportunity to recover. But I’m sure he understands that at the same time, he is also giving Charlie some time to breathe. Charlie is using the barricade to help himself back up to his feet, struggling but still looking to continue bringing the fight to ‘The Straight Shooter’. Before the referee can even start counting he rolls himself back into the ring…
Rich Russillo: BUT WHILE HE’S UP ON A KNEE JACK HAS HIM IN PRIME POSITION FOR ‘DAYLIGHT SLAYING TIME’! RUNNING KNEE TO THE HEAD TO TAKE OUT CHARLIE!
James Peters: BUT CHARLIE MANAGES TO RECOVER AND HE HAS HIM UP FOR A SECOND ATTEMPT AT ‘THE HEADMASTER RITUAL’ SPINEBUSTER!
Rich Russillo: BUT JACK FLIPS OVER HIM AND ROLLS HIM THROUGH INTO A SUNSET FLIP! HE BRINGS CHARLIE TO A SEATED POSITION WHILE GETTING BACK UP TO HIS FEET, LAUNCHING FORWARD, AND FINISHING IT OFF WITH A RUNNING DOUBLE KNEE STRIKE TO THE HEAD TO TAKE HIM OUT COLD! CHARLIE IS DOWN AND JACK IMMEDIATELY FALLS OVER HIM FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREE-
James Peters: BUT CHARLIE MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF THAT JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME! Jack can’t believe his eyes, and is shocked by how Charlie has managed to keep fighting despite everything that he has thrown at him! A part of Charlie has to be surprised as well with the persistence that Jack is showing here tonight, and I no doubt believe that we have a war on our hands between two of Sunday Night Voltage’s very best!
Persephone: :francis: How dare you say that when the two of them are sharing a locker room with the great Rex McAllister! Now stop lying to yourself and get on with your job!
Rich Russillo: Charlie is wide-eyed as he barely manages to kick out of the double knee attempt, meanwhile Jack is back up to his feet and it’s clear that he is taking the time right now to evaluate what is the best course of action from here. Perhaps it is as Persephone said, and he needs to finish this off right now or he will not get a chance like this again as long as Charlie has something to say about it. Jack falls back into the corner, once again taking a moment to catch a breather, on the contrary Charlie is steadily getting back up. He knows another move like that would spell the end of things for him in this one, and he’s going to have to do whatever he can right now to make sure that he stays down for good. Jack has him set up though…
James Peters: AS HE GOES FOR A ‘YOU’LL FLOAT TOO’ ATTEMPT! SUPERKICK TO THE JAW TO FINISH THE JOB ON CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE!
Rich Russillo: BUT JUST LIKE BEFORE IT’S CHARLIE THAT MANAGES TO AVOID IT BY DUCKING UNDER! HE RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK BEFORE SPINNING AROUND WHILE JACK TURNS…
James Peters: HE’S GOING FOR ‘CHARING CROSS’! THE DISCUS LARIAT!
Rich Russillo: BUT JACK AVOIDS AS HE TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES THIS TIME HIMSELF… AS BOTH HIM AND CHARLIE ARE TAKEN DOWN WITH DOUBLE CLOTHESLINES OF THEIR OWN DOING!
(Jack Ripley and Champagne Charlie are down and out on the ground, the New Brunswick crowd on their feet courtesy of the showing that the two of them have had in this match so far. The referee bows down to check on the two of them, and is about to administer a count to 10 for them to get back up to their feet… but that is not needed as they both already are beginning to show signs of life and are steadily rising back up.)
Persephone: Ugh, these two just do not know how to quit, tell me, how do we end this match?
James Peters: Your guess is as good as mine, Persephone, these two just won’t quit! They simply refuse to lose to one another! Their hatred that has spanned years in that very ring, participating in this very brand, has never simmered away for a second! They’ll be willing to tear each other apart if they have to, all if it means that one will not give the other the satisfaction of standing tall over their battered corpses!
Persephone: Boring, just say the match won’t end, I’ll understand… :mjcry:
Rich Russillo: Well that’s definitely how it’s looking right now, but there seems to be a solution as both of them are back up to their feet, with the crowd’s approval being heard as they do! The two of them are staring a hole into one another, they are going to end this match somehow and it’s going to end with either of them coming out on top having thrown everything that they’ve had at the other! AND HERE WE GO! CHARLIE AND JACK LUNGE AT ONE ANOTHER AND ARE IMMEDIATELY BEGINNING TO THROW HAYMAKERS!
James Peters: JACK! CHARLIE! JACK! CHARLIE! JACK! CHARLIE! JACK! CHARLIE! IT’S LIKE THEIR GAS TANKS ARE FULL RIGHT NOW! JACK IS CONTINUING TO LAY IT INTO CHARLIE BUT CHARLIE IS FIGHTING BACK AS HE SENDS SOME STRIKES OF HIS OWN AND PUSHES HIM UP AGAINST THE ROPES! He then grabs a hold of Jack by the arms before sending him to the opposite side of the ring with an Irish whip and back… JACK RUSHES FORWARD AND USES THE MOMENTUM TO LAUNCH HIMSELF FORWARD- ONLY FOR CHARLIE TO CATCH HIM AS HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A HUGE DROPKICK!
Rich Russillo: Jack is taken down to the ground but is quickly getting back up to his feet, trailing behind Charlie who is already up. Charlie has him by the head, DRIVING HIS KNEE INTO THE ABDOMEN! Jack is doubled over while Charlie grabs him by the head and pulls him into a front facelock, setting him up for something here… but before that can happen it’s Jack that manages to send some strikes to his abdomen! Charlie tries to maintain his grip but the damage that he’s taken throughout the night has begun to take its toll, and it’s not long before Jack is able to slip out of it! Charlie staggers back, trying to respond with an elbow to the face- JUST FOR JACK TO DUCK UNDER AND GRAB HIM BY THE LEG BEFORE SWEEPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS QUICKLY! Charlie rolls onto his back and tries to find a way to get out of it, BUT BEFORE THAT CAN HAPPEN IT’S JACK THAT MANAGES TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND CAVE HIS CHEST IN WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!
James Peters: BUT CHARLIE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! He rolls back up to his feet while jack rushes toward him, CHARLIE COUNTERING HIM AS HE LIFTS HIM OFF OF THE GROUND AND SENDING HIM PLUMMETING DOWN WITH A BACK BODY DROP! Jack is down and Charlie is not hesitating to scale up to the top turnbuckle…
Persephone: I don’t know what he’s thinking but I hope that this is it…
Rich Russillo: CHARLIE IS PERCHED UP, JACK IS PRIMED FOR THE TAKING! HE LEAPS OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND GOES FOR ‘SIN SALIDA’! THE DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE CHEST TO FINISH THE JOB!
James Peters: BUT JACK MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY AS CHARLIE LANDS ON HIS FEET! Charlie rolls forward but gets back up to his feet, as he turns around and rushes toward Charlie… ONLY FOR JACK TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AND SLAM HIS HEAD AGAINST THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Charlie bounces off of the top rope as Jack grabs a hold of him by the head, BEFORE LAUNCHING HIMSELF OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND SPIKING HIS HEAD DOWN WITH A TORNADO DDT!
Rich Russillo: BUT BEFORE JACK CAN COMPLETELY TAKE HIM DOWN IT’S CHARLIE THAT MANAGES TO KEEP HIM UP AND LAUNCH HIM INTO THE AIR BEFORE CRASHING HIM DOWN! Jack lands on his stomach as he tries to bring himself up to a knee, JUST FOR CHARLIE TO RUN FORWARD AND LAUNCH THROUGH THE AIR TO CONNECT WITH A FRONT DROPKICK TO THE CHEST TO TAKE HIM OUT! Jack is taken down while Charlie grabs him and brings him up…
James Peters: BEFORE CHARLIE LIFTS HIM UP FOR ‘THE QUEEN IS DEAD’! DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Rich Russillo: BUT JACK SLIPS OUT OF THE ATTEMPT BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ‘DAYLIGHT SLAYING TIME’! RUNNING KNEE TO THE HEAD TO COMPLETELY LEVEL CHARLIE!
(Jack falls back against the corner, breathing heavily as he slips through the ropes and stands on the apron. He takes time to compose himself before using the turnbuckles to slowly scale himself up to the top rope. Charlie hasn’t moved, and he is trying to find a way to get back on track, but that is doing him any good, Jack has him right where he wants him…)
James Peters: JACK LEAPS OFF FOR ‘BELIEVE IT OR NOT’! SHOOTING STAR PRESS TO CHARLIE TO END THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE AND NOT!
Rich Russillo: BUT CHARLIE SHIFTS HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE CATCHING JACK AND ROLLING HIM INTO A SCHOOL BOY PIN! NOT LIKE THIS!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
James Peters: BUT JACK MANAGES TO KICK OUT! HE SLIPS OUT… BEFORE ROLLING UP CHARLIE INSTEAD!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Persephone: LMAOOOO YES!
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… JACK RIPLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Champagne Charlie is furious inside the ring! Jack Ripley just stole a victory right from under him! Even through all the pain and agony, these two went to war against one another just like they have all those years before! But in the end, it was Jack that managed to get the last laugh, and you can tell that Charlie is not happy about this whatsoever!
James Peters: Well I’m sure we’re not going to hear the end of this out of him, but both of them have their eyes set on what’s going to happen at Bloodsport with their matches against TLA and Jamie O’Hara respectively! As we mentioned before I am certain that they are not going to take any of this lying down. Right now though, the night belongs to Jack Ripley, congratulations on the victory here tonight!
(‘Bounce Back’ plays through the speakers as Jack Ripley quickly rolls himself out of the ring and out of harm’s way. Champagne Charlie launches up to his feet and lunges at him, but is unable to reach him due to the injuries that he has sustained throughout the night. He is livid, furious, but most importantly in a world of pain as he falls backward against a corner. The referee is seen making his way out of the ring, helping Jack up to his feet as he raises his arm high in victory as the crowd cheers loudly for what they have just witnessed.)
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where Charlie Marr and TLA compete in a Chamber of Blood for the Hardcore Championship.)
(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(“I Rise” by Cory Marks hits to cheers from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first from Stillwater, Oklahoma weighing in at 212 pounds he is “The Oklahoma Storm” DONOVANNNNNNNNNNN DUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
(Donovan Duke makes his way to the ring looking determined to go all out here tonight. He is doing stretches and warmups his entire way to the ring clearly fully focused on the tough match he has ahead of him.)
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke has acknowledged that this season hasn’t started off for him the way he wants it to. But he fully intends to bounce back and that starts tonight!
James Peters: Donovan Duke is fully intending to go all out and show everyone on the roster that he is a real one not to be messed with. He has the biggest match of his career waiting for him at Bloodsport and tonight he is going to show the world that he can win it.
(“El Gavilan” by Luis R Conriquez, Peso Pluma, y Tony Aguirre hits!!!!)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent from Hidalgo, Mexico weighing in at 225 pounds he is “El Padrastro” ROBERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTO DE LA ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSAAAA!!!!
(Roberto De La Rosa makes his way out to the ring looking very confident as he shows off to the crowd. He is receiving a bit of a mixed reaction here tonight as many of the fans are heavy supporters of Donovan Duke. However, he isn’t letting that get under his skin as he enters the ring smirking at his opponent showing that he isn’t worried at all.)
Rich Russillo: Well Roberto De La Rosa is entering this match with supreme confidence but I am not sure if that is wise given his opponent.
James Peters: That is true as well as the fact that he has been screwed out of matches in recent weeks you have to wonder if he is going to have to have eyes in the back of his head to succeed here tonight! Of course if there is no outside interference it is going to be a tough road for Donovan to win this as I can’t doubt that Roberto could indeed pull it off!
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: This match is in a zone beyond underway as we are about to witness Roberto De La Rosa and Donovan Duke getting it on physically in the ring. This is going to be a heated event to be sure and it will definitely be exciting for all of us here to watch!!! They are going to have to back up all of their words this week and we are going to see if either of them are capable of doing just that! Suddenly they lock up in the middle of the ring as Roberto appears to overpower Donovan sending him across the ring with aggressive force. Such strength from Roberto as Donovan does a back roll across the ring right back on up to his feet. Donovan runs after Roberto charging right back in to lock up with him one more time! But Roberto side steps Donovan catching the arm and tossing him across the ring with a swift arm drag! Donovan rolls through that as well as he is back up and his arm is immediately grabbed by Roberto who takes him down with another arm drag! And another! And this time Roberto holds the arm as he has an armbar locked in!
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke manages to wrestle his arm away free from Roberto De La Rosa as he pulls himself into the corner. The referee forces the break from Roberto who does so willingly. Roberto looking ready to strike as soon as Donovan gets out of the safe zone. But in truth he is only allowing that zone to be safe. Roberto could change that if he felt like defying the referee.
Persephone: I am sure he would be immediately disqualified if he did that. Then the match would end and we can’t have nice things.
Rich Russillo: Roberto De La Rosa waits for Donovan Duke to get back up before going in to grab him in the middle of the ring! But Donovan grabs Roberto and takes him down using his rushing attack against him to throw him backwards with a Belly to Belly Suplex! But Roberto manages to land on his feet! Roberto looks shocked that Donovan managed that as he turns around to face off against a smirking Donovan clearly pleased with what he just pulled off.

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Persephone: They should have count outs be a three count just like pins. I don’t know why they get ten seconds.
James Peters: But Roberto De La Rosa and Donovan Duke are continuing to assault each other with extreme viciousness on the outside! This match has gotten out of the referee’s hands and he is yelling at them to get back into the ring but they aren’t even paying attention! They just may end up counted out!
Referee: FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
James Peters: The fight outside the ring continues as it looks like the referee finally has their attention. Roberto De La Rosa stops Donovan Duke from getting back into the ring by bashing his head off the apron before shoving him back in.
Referee: SEVEN! EIGHT!
Rich Russillo: Roberto De La Rosa gets back into the ring as well! Donovan Duke back up to meet him as they lock up once more back where it all started. They are competing fiercely before Roberto breaks free of a lockup from Donovan and transitions into a Side Headlock. Donovan slips his neck out of it and kicks the back of the knee out from Roberto dropping him to his knee. Donovan then grabs the head of Roberto and falls backwards with a DDT from half the normal height! But Roberto slips out just in time as Donovan throws himself backwards but just drops himself in the process. Roberto slides on top of Donovan and grabs the leg before twisting him around! Roberto looking to lock in a Sharpshooter right here and now! But Donovan kicks Roberto off him! Roberto is sent flying off before he can apply the Sharpshooter!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Persephone: Kickout! The match continues! You hate to see it!
Rich Russillo: Personally I love to see it! The match rages on! Roberto De La Rosa delivers a devastating three strike combo to Donovan Duke which collapses him right down to the mat. Roberto lifts Donovan up and slings him up and over his shoulders… Roberto with a Running Press Slam right in the middle of the ring! Roberto must have been working out lately! Roberto grabs the arm of Donovan and locks in a Cross Armbar in the middle of the ring. Roberto ripping and tearing trying to break the arm of Donovan! But will Donovan be forced to tap out here tonight??? Donovan slowly sliding himself across the ring towards the ropes! But can he get there?!?!?—

Roberto then grabs Donovan from behind and tosses him backwards with a perfect form German Suplex!!! Donovan took all of that right on his neck and shoulders as he rolls out of the ring to get a moment to recover. Donovan sizing up his opponent as Roberto yells at him to get back into the ring. Donovan coming up with a plan of attack as he has been struggling to overcome what Roberto has been throwing at him thus far.
James Peters: Donovan Duke slowly back into the ring as he slows the pace of the match right back down. He locks up with Roberto De La Rosa in the middle of the ring once again. But suddenly Donovan with a Small Package out of nowhere!!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Roberto De La Rosa kicks out! But Donovan Duke isn’t going to let his advantage slip out of his fingers as he doesn’t even take a moment to process the failure to win the match.
Persephone: It’s alright. I am processing that for us all. :wow:
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke transitions into a headlock with one arm while using the other arm to deliver hard elbows to the top of Roberto De La Rosa’s head.

Donovan comes back across the ropes and is caught by Roberto who hits a Spinning Side Slam on Donovan! No! Donovan spun out of it and landed on his feet.
James Peters: Roberto De La Rosa grabs the arm of Donovan Duke twisting it around and dropping him into a Cross Armbreaker once again! But Donovan with great ring awareness lands himself right next to the ropes and immediately grabs them to break it all up!

Roberto De La Rosa: (off-mic) Callate hijo de p-
Rich Russillo: But Donovan Duke breaks the hold forcefully himself and kicks Roberto De La Rosa in the face! Roberto staggers back as Donovan grabs his arm and whips him across the ring! Donovan with a Back Toss to Roberto! But Roberto flips backwards in midair and catches Donovan with a Hurricanrana throwing him across the ring!

Rich Russillo: Roberto De La Rosa is in serious pain as Donovan Duke is taking a moment to recover in the ring. The strain of the match is definitely getting to him but Roberto may have it worse off as the referee begins the count!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
James Peters: But Donovan Duke doesn’t want to win by countout! He rolls to the outside of the ring and tosses Roberto back inside. Roberto holding his shoulder in pain as Donovan turns him over and slides into the cover…
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Kickout by Roberto De La Rosa!!! Donovan Duke thought he had him there! Donovan now getting a bit more fierce as he begins to stomp away at Roberto as if to tell him to stay down.

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONAVAN DUUUUUUUUUUKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
James Peters: Impressive and hard-fought win by a former holder of the 24/7 Contract! Donovan Duke certainly showed why he is a force to be reckoned with and why he has as good of a chance as anyone to dethrone Drake King come Bloodsport.
Persephone: :cmon: So you really think that beating Roberto De La Rosa is really the measuring stick when it comes to being able to be world champ?
(Before anyone else on the commentary team can speak, ‘Hikarunara’ by Goose House begins to blast across the PA system, cutting off the beginning of Donovan’s theme. Donovan pulls his hand away from the referee and simply shakes his head. His job for the night is done, and it seems as if Roberto’s foe for Bloodsport was ready to make her presence felt.)
(Mei Sasaki is all smiles as she walks onto the stage. She’s dressed in a gorgeous black bodycon dress that hugs her curves and black Louboutin pumps adorn her feet. She acknowledges the crowd, who are cheering for her, and blows Donovan a cheeky little kiss as he has gotten out of the ring and is taking his leave. What’s interesting is that Mei doesn’t head to the ring. She seems content to stay on the stage and say whatever it is she wants to say. At least that’s the conclusion that can be drawn seeing as how she has a microphone in her hand.)
Mei Sasaki: As much as I LOVE hearing my theme music played, I like hearing my own voice even better. So go ahead and cut the music, and Roberto… wake up!
(Mei giggles a little bit as Roberto is sitting up inside the ring. He’s unhappy due to the fact he lost, and he’s even more annoyed to see her standing on the stage.)
Mei Sasaki: Tough match, but the result of Donovan winning was entirely expected. I mean, I don’t think anyone in this building tonight thought you were actually going to win, Roberto! Donovan is about to compete for a world championship and you couldn’t even successfully cash in your 24/7 contract a couple of weeks ago!
(Roberto is standing up inside the ring now and he is glaring at Mei.)
Roberto De La Rosa: (off-mic) That’s because you stuck your nose where it didn’t belong, puta!
Mei Sasaki: Semantics. If you were every bit the savvy competitor you claim to be, then you should have known that I would be lurking. You failed, and that’s that. But I actually didn’t come out here to remind you of that, Roberto. I actually came out here to talk about the stipulation for our match at Bloodsport. Fans Bring the Weapons is a Bloodsport tradition and honestly, I’m kind of stoked for it!
(The crowd pops, many of them wishing they could be in Copenhagen whenever Bloodsport rolls around. Who wouldn’t want a chance to get involved in a professional wrestling match and maybe play a part in the outcome?)
Mei Sasaki: I know that the EAW Universe might not be completely on my side, as I haven’t exactly endeared myself to them, but they’re not going to all be on your side either, Roberto. Both of us have a lot to prove, and while you might have all but cemented yourself as a future champion, your work is just getting started. The pressure is now on your shoulders and you have to show everyone that your win at Pain for Pride was not a fluke. As for me, things are obviously different now. Essentially, I am starting from scratch and looking to make my name mean something. I did a lot of things last season that I felt were right at the time but ultimately they got me nowhere. I learned a lot of tough lessons, and I appreciate the fact I’m on Voltage now and getting a chance to be myself. This season, I get to show the world who Mei Sasaki really is, and that starts at Bloodsport.
(The fans like hearing this and they give Mei a warm reaction for her honesty.)
Mei Sasaki: Fans Bring the Weapons is a great stipulation because it will allow us to get creative and interact with the EAW Universe. I have no idea what the Danish fans will bring to Bloodsport, but I’m excited about it. That being said…
(A coy little smile crosses Mei’s face.)
Mei Sasaki: I do have a few ideas of my own. I mean if you subscribe to my OnlyFans you’ll get to see which weapons I prefer.
(Another huge pop from the crowd over Mei’s plug for her OnlyFans account and this does nothing but annoy Roberto. However, the irritated look on his face is soon replaced by a huge grin because unbeknownst to Mei, someone has come up behind her, steel chair in hand.)
Rich Russillo: ESMERALDA DE LA ROSA JUST SLAMMED A STEEL CHAIR ACROSS THE BACK OF MEI SASAKI! MEI IS DOWN AND ESMERALDA HITS HER OVER AND OVER AGAIN! MEI WAS COMPLETELY BLINDSIDED BY ROBERTO’S WIFE AND LOOK AT THE SMILE ON HIS FACE!
Persephone: I gotta admit, that was kind of hilarious.
James Peters: ESMERALDA SLAMS THE CHAIR ON MEI’S HEAD AND THE FORMER QUEEN BEE IS LIFELESS RIGHT NOW! The crowd is booing Esmeralda but look at Roberto! He is clapping and laughing, and now he is calling for a microphone.
(Bella hands Roberto a microphone and his chuckle can be heard throughout the building now.)
Roberto De La Rosa: You may have some suggestive ways of getting the fans to side with you, puta, but I only need one fan and one weapon. My beautiful wife will forever have my back and if you think that you’ll be leaving Bloodsport with a win, you better think again. I know the weight that’s on my shoulders thanks to the 24/7 Contract, but I’ve waited a long time to earn this kind of opportunity. Rest assured I know what pressure is on me and while tonight didn’t go my way, seeing you in an unconscious heap definitely eases the sting. ¡Voy a arruinarte puta más de lo que puedas imaginar!
(Roberto drops the microphone, which prompts his theme music to play, as he gets out of the ring and heads up the ramp. Esmeralda has unfolded the chair and set it up over Mei’s unconscious body. When Roberto gets to them, he takes a seat on the chair and Esmeralda sits down in his lap. She turns towards her papi and the two start to kiss as Voltage fades into a commercial break.)
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where Roberto De La Rosa and Mei Sasaki face off in a “Fans Bring the Weapons” match.)
(Eventually, the Voltage broadcast would begin to fade back into view, as we cut to a long shot of the entire Auvenir Centre interior. The camera pans along, before we cut to the hardcam, where we see Bella Braxton standing in the ring with an EAW-branded microphone…)
Bella Braxton: The following context is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL! (in a heavy stereotypical Canadian accent)
Bella Braxton: ONE FAAAALL!!!!!!
(‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA would begin to blare through the speaker system, as the crowd would quickly begin to cheer. The camera pans across to the entrance way, as Cameron Ella Ava’s black and grey graphics begin to play on the LED screens, matching the ‘Serpent’ persona she has taken on for herself in the previous year. The opening of the song would continue, before eventually, Cameron Ella Ava makes her way out through the curtains, sporting colors matching her entrance graphics. Standing atop the stage, she would pump her hips, twirling, before she begins to march down the ramp – a swagger that none can matched, unique to only her.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… hailing from Los Angeles, California… weighing in at 140 pounds… SHE IS ‘THE SERPENT’… CAMEROOOONNNN EELLLAAAAA AAAAVVVVAAAAAAAA!!!!!
(Cameron would smirk as her name is called, as the Hall of Famer begins to approach the hard cam facing apron. Sliding onto it, she stands up off her knees, as her arms wrap over the top rope, facing the hardcam herself. She slowly enters the ring, as she removes her entrance gear. She circles the ring, eventually meeting the middle, before posing down the camera, the lights in the arena swirling around in a circle, providing a gif-worthy visual each and every time she enters. Eventually, though, it would begin to fade out, as it’s replaced by ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac – the cheers of the crowd, however, not once being replaced. The revving of an engine is heard, as TLA drives out in a lowrider, coated in barbed wire. No. Not a design. Actual barbed wire. Across the drivers door, the text “EL CAMPEÓN HARDCORE DEL MUNDO” is read. TLA smirks, as he steps out of the lowrider, the Hardcore Championship wrapped around his waist.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing her opponent… haling from ‘The Poon Palace’, Miami Florida… weighing in at 210 pounds… HE IS THE EAW HAAAARDCORE CHAMPION… T…L…AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
(TLA would extend his arms as his name is called, walking down the ramp, the entire crowd on his side.)
TLA: :lick:
(TLA too provides an aura of confidence surrounding him, the two unique in their approaches, their personalities, their swaggers, as they have the right to be. TLA climbs up onto the apron, before entering the ring, quickly bouncing up onto the turnbuckles. He unhooks the Hardcore Chapionship, raising it high above his head, before his theme song slowly fades out. Handing the title to the referee to take out to ringside, the two would wait in their corners, preparing for the match to come…)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: And the bell rings, finally signalling this one as under way! TLA and Cameron Ella Ava, two Elitists with a very rich history. It was just last year where Cameron was one of TLA’s many challengers at Dia Del Diablo, and it was even longer before then where she and TLA would team up on numerous occasions during Season 15! Seeing the two quite literal Hall of Famers clash once more, there is no doubt that these two are going to put on a match all of us can enjoy once more here on Voltage!
Rich Russillo: No doubt about it, James, as this place is electrifying even before the two of them actually even square off! TLA and Cameron Ella Ava circle the ring like a pack of sharks, ready to lock up, and almost instantly the crowd are feeling this one! The two come to a clash in the center, initiating a collar-and-elbow tie up! While TLA may have the height advantage by 3 inches, and the weight advantage by 70 pounds; technical wrestling is not his forte, as he specialises in high flying offense! Cameron, however, is the complete opposite! Showing this off, she hooks the arm, and ‘The Serpent’ enters a side wristlock!
James Peters: A great hold applied by Cameron Ella Ava; no height or weight difference can truly stop you from having your arm twisted and bent in ways that it wasn’t supposed to be bent, such as an over rotation one way or the other, forcing a potential break or fraction! TLA may have the physical advantage over Cameron, a natural advantage men have over women, Cameron has the skill to more than make up for it, throwing any physical advantage out of the window, making something like this a war of ability!
Rich Russillo: Abiltiy that TLA is very quickly able to show off, as he performs a forward roll on the mat, before – rather than returning back to his feet – kicking himself backwards to where his weight is on the shoulders… kipping up into a standing base! There he is able to duck under Cameron’s arm, as that roll and kip up places him on the outside of Cameron’s grasp… allowing him to invert it on her! A raised hammerlock applied, as TLA looks to add damage to the arm of Cameron Ella Ava in retaliation-
James Peters: But Cameron is just that one step ahead! Much like TLA was able to inver the pressure, she is too, as she ducks under the bridge made by their two arms, before sweeping the leg! TLA lands on his back, and now Cameron leaps to apply the cover as their hands are linked together… but TLA with his feet up! TLA places his feet on Cameron’s legs… before pushing her off, and using the whiplash to pull himself into the air… CONNECTING WITH A HUGE ‘MEXICAN DESTROYER’!!!! FLIP PILEDRIVER STRAIGHT OUT OF THE COLLAR AND ELBOW TIE UP-
Rich Russillo: NO! CAMERON ELLA AVA DUCKS THROUGH HIS LEGS AS HE’S MID-AIR, AND BEGINS TO RUN THE ROPES! TLA LANDS ON HIS FEET AND TURNS AROUND QUICKLY, LOOKING TO CAPITALIZE HERE WITH A LARIAT, HOPEFULLY TAKING CAMERON OFF OF HER FEET- BUT IT’S NO USE! CAMERON DUCKS UNDERNEATH THE LARIAT, AND HITS THE ROPES ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE! TLA LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH A BACK ELBOW TO ‘THE CENTERPIECE’ BUT AGAIN IT’S NO USE, AS CAMERON DUCKS UNDERNEATH THAT ONE! CAMERON HITS THE ROPES ONE MORE TIME, BEFORE FLYING IN FOR A ‘WONDER WOMAN PUNCH’!!! WONDER WOMAN PUNCH CONNEC-
James Peters: BUT TLA HOOKS THE ARM! ARM-TRAP, AS HE SPINS OUT, PLACING CAMERON BETWEEN HIS LEGS! HE’S LOOKING FOR YET ANOTHER MEXICAN DESTROY-
Rich Russillo: BUT CAMERON SPINS AND DROPS ONTO HER BACK! SHE PLACES HER LEGS AROUND HIS HEAD, BEFORE PULLING HIM INTO A VICTORY ROLL PIN!!!! COVER!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWW-
James Peters: NO! A KICKOUT AT ONE, AS TLA ROLLS TO HIS FEET! HE GRABS CAMERON BY HER LEGS, LOOKING TO PLACE HER IN A FIGURE FOUR LEG LOCK… BUT INSTEAD OF DROPPING BACKWARDS INTO A SUBMISSION, HE ROLLS ON TOP OF HER, CREATING SOME SORT OF FIGURE FOUR PIN ATTEMPT!!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
James Peters: SO CLOSE! BUT NOT CLOSE ENOUGH! TLA WAS THINKING QUICK ON HIS FEET THERE, BUSTING OUT A UNIQUE PIN ATTEMPT THAT I HAVEN’T SEEN ANYWHERE ELSE EVER – YOU’VE GOTTA THINK, IF THAT SORT OF PRESSURE WAS APPLIED LATER INTO A MATCH LIKE THIS, WOULD IT BE OVER???
Rich Russillo: Absolutely, James – you’ve got to wonder how much it took out of Cameron to kick out of something like that, the pressure mist have been insane to handle there! She got out of it, though, as the two begin to recover to their feet!
James Peters: Indeed, as TLA grabs Cameron Ella Ava, and looks to place her in a suplex hold! Perhaps going for a suplex triplets here, unfortunately for TLA it backfires, as Cameron spins out of it before applying a gnarly Side Russian Leg Sweep, driving him head-first backwards into the mat! TLA grabs onto the back of his head, as Cameron slowly brings him to his feet! She grabs him by the back of the head, pulling him down, before mashing him in the skull with knee strikes to the head! One, after another, after another… before sealing the deal with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb! Cover!
OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Rich Russillo: Only a two on the 2020 class Hall of Famer, it’s going to take a hell of a lot more to put somebody of his stature away, and Cameron knows this! She wasn’t trying to put him away right there, as she’d have used a much more deadly maneuver, she was just trying to wear him down! She knows what TLA will go to in order to win, otherwise, she wouldn’t have the history she does with him! Challenging the likes of AD INFINITUM, among much more together afte rall!
James Peters: Oh you’re right, Rich, Cameron knows the lengths to put away a man like TLA is far, far different to putting away a regular Elitist. TLA is far more evolved and accomplished, she knows she has to wear him down, and she intends to do that right here! She lifts TLA up into a kneeling base, in the center of the ring, as she turns around and hits the ropes… SHINING WIZARD- no! TLA ducks! He avoids the move entirely… OR NOT! AS CAMERON CONNECTS WITH A BLACK MAGIC TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! TLA CRUMPLES FACE-FIRST…
Rich Russillo: Before Cameron looks to do even more damage! She grabs TLA by his waist, slowly lifting him up into a standing base, before hooking each individual arm! She has him in the full nelson, before… BAM! SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, AS TLA’S HEAD BOUNCES OFF THE MAT ONCE MORE! TLA ROLLS OVER TO THE CORNER, CAMERON USING THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING TO PULL HERSELF UP, AS SHE LOOKS ACROSS AT TLA FROM CORNER-TO-CORNER! TLA SLOWLY RECOVERS TO HIS FEET, AS CAMERON CHARGES FORWARD… CONNECTING WITH A HUGE CORNER METEORA! TLA’S HEAD JOLTS BACK, BEFORE…
James Peters: FALCON ARROW! CAMERON ELLA AVA DRAGS TLA OUT OF THE CORNER, BEFORE PLACING HIM IN A FRONT FACELOCK, HOOKING THE ARM, AND ROTATING HIM CLOCKWISE – A FULL FLIP BEFORE LANDING ON HIS BACK! SHE SITS OUT WITH IT, BEFORE HOOKING THE INSIDE LEG OF TLA, ENTERING A COVER!!!!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
T-
James Peters: BUT IT’S NO USE! TLA IS ABLE TO KICK OUT OF THE FALCON ARROW, PUSHING CAMERON ELLA AVA OUT OF THE COVER HOLD! CAMERON FALLS TO HER BACK, AND NOW THE MATCH BEGINS TO SINK DEEPER! BY THE LOOK ON HER FACE, SHE THOUGHT THAT COMBO WAS ENOUGH TO DO IT!
Rich Russillo: But perhaps she thought wrong, as even on a Voltage match like this, not even a marquee, we have seen TLA bust out all stops – he gives it 110% no matter the day, much like when he beat Limmy Monaghan with a debuting ultimate finishing move on Showdown two years ago! If that’s the TLA Cameron is getting tonight, she’s going to have to go to extreme lengths to put him away! To which, she appears to be doing here! She lifts TLA, and connects with a forearm, sending him to the outside…
James Peters: BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES H ERSELF! CAMERON IS LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH HER PATENTED TOPE CON HILO- BUT TLA IS ABLE TO ENTER THE RING BEFORE SHE CAN REACH THE ROPES! TLA CONNECTS WITH A BEAUTIFUL HEADSCISSORS TAKING CAMERON DOWN, AS SHE BEGINS TO ROLL TO THE OUTSIDE TOO!!!! TLA USES THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CLIMB UP THE TURNBUCKLES, AS CAMERON RECOVERS… BUT HE GOES TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE? WHAT IS HE- OH MY GOD!!!! TLA BEGINS TO TIGHTWALK ACROSS THE TOP ROPE, RUNNING ACROSS IT ACTUALLY, BEFORE SPRINGBOARDING TOWARDS CAMERON!!! A SPRINGBOARD SPACEMAN PLANCHA!!! A CORKSCREW FOSBURY FLOP! WHATEVER IT WAS, THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!
Rich Russillo: AND IMPACTFUL, AS TLA CONNECTS WITH ‘WALK DA WALK’ A SIGNATURE MANEUVER OF HIS! HE SWIFTLY GRABS ONTO CAMERON ELLA AVA’S HEAD, BEFORE PULLING HER UP OFF THE GROUND! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TLA LANDED THAT WITHOUT CRUMBLING TO THE FLOOR, BUT HE DID, AND NOW HE LOOKS TO CAPITALIZE! HE THROWS HER INTO THE RING BEFORE FOLLOWING UP HIMSELF, SLIDING INTO THE RING… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ‘420’!!!! THE RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS, A VARIANT OF HIS ‘420’ MANEUVER, BEFORE HOOKING THE LEG IMMEDIATELY! PIN! PIN!
OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTHRR-
Rich Russillo: NO! CAMERON ELLA AVA IS ABLE TO LIFT THE SHOULDER, AS THOSE TWO BACK TO BACK SIGNATURE MANEUVERS WEREN’T ENOUGH TO PUT HER AWAY! TLA HAD HOPED IT WOULD BE, AS THEY WERE IN SUCH CLOSE PROXIMITY TO ONE ANOTHER, BUT UNFORTUNATELY FOR HIM, IT JUST WASN’T THE CASE! IT WASN’T ALL HE HAD LEFT IN HIM, THOUGH! DON’T COUNT HIM OUT YET! TLA LOOKS TO APPLY EVEN MORE DAMAGE HERE, AS HE BEGINS TO RECOVER TO A STANDING BASE, LIFTING CAMERON ELLA AVA TO ONE ALSO, NOW APPLYING THE PRESSURE AS HE CONNECTS WITH SWIFT COMBOS!
James Peters: TLA connects with a palm strike to the side of he jaw, rocking Cameron as her limp limbs fly up due to the whiplash, if not an attempt to block! She doesn’t block successfully, though, allowing TLA to continue the offense, as he connects with another palm strike to the opposite side of the jaw! Cameron is rocked, as TLA connects with a huge side roundhouse kick to the leg, one she fails to check, as it damages her even more! TLA spins round, and connects with a huge spinning backfist, damaging Cameron… BEFORE FINISHING WITH A LARIAT-
Rich Russillo: NO! CAMERON GETS A FOOT UP TO KICK THE LARIAT AWAY, BEFORE KICKING TLA IN THE STOMACH… ‘SNAPBACK’!!! THE SNAPMARE FACEBREAKER-
James Peters: COUNTERED WITH A ZIG ZAG BY TLA!!! HE LEAPS OFF THE GROUND, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE INVERTED BULLDOG, DRIVING HER BACKWARDS, HEAD FIRST INTO THE MAT! WHAT A FANTASTIC COUNTER FROM TLA, AS HE ROLLS OUT ONTO THE APRON! I’M NOT SURE WHAT HE HAS PLANNED HERE!
(TLA uses the opening created by a downed Cameron Ella Ava to roll to the outside, as he starts to scale the turnbuckles. He reaches the top, as he looks away from Cameron…)
James Peters: OH NO, TLA HERE… AS HE LEAPS BACKWARDS OFF THE TURNBUCKLES, GOING FOR A MOONSAULT BUT NOBODY IS HOME! EXCEPT, THAT DOESN’T MATTER! CAMERON ROLLS AWAY, BUT TLA LANDS ON HIS FEET AS HE GOES FOR ANOTHER MOONSAULT… CAMERON ROLLS BACK TO THE CENTER! TLA LANDS ON HIS FEET AGAIN HOWEVER, AS HE CHARGES FORWARD AND LOOKS TO TAKE OUT CAMERON WITH ANOTHER STANDING, SPRINTING ‘420’ VARIANT- NO! CAMERON GETS THE KNEES UP! SHE HOOKS THE HEAD, BEFORE ROLLING THE FORMER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION INTO A PINNING PREDICAMENT! COULD HIS BE IT?
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT—
Rich Russillo: KICK OUT FROM TLA! THAT WAS SO CLOSE FROM CAMERON, BUT NOT CLOSE ENOUGH, AS TLA FINDS A WAY TO REMAIN IN THIS! THE MORE RECENT HALL OF FAMER OF THE TWO ALMOST LOST TO CAMERON THERE, BUT HE PULLS THROUGH, LOOKING TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY!
(Cameron Ella Ava rolls away from the former cover, as she begins to crawl over to the ropes. She uses the ropes to pull herself into a standing base, while TLA slowly recovers, holding onto his chest. Cameron stumbles towards the corner, trying her best to stay on her feet, as she looks towards TLA…)
James Peters: Oh no, Cameron looks to have something set up here, and TLA doesn’t see it just yet! TLA is fully focused on recovering, he has absolutely no idea that Cameron is setting up for something big – the wind was completely taken out of him when Cameron got those knees up, some of the strongest bones in the human body, and absolutely not a nice landing for anyone throwing their body throughout the air as TLA’s style usually is! High risk, high reward, and TLA definitely felt the risk side of things! TLA pushes himself off the mat, as Cameron charges up…
Rich Russillo: ‘WONDER WOMAN PUNCH’!!! THE WONDER WOMAN PUNCH CONNECTS, THIS TIME IT ISN’T COUNTERED, AS TLA CRUMBLES TO THE MAT! HE FALLS DOWN AS IF HE WAS JUST SHOT IN THE HEAD WITH A GUN, AND HONESTLY, I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED IF THAT WONDER WOMAN PUNCH WAS JUST AS DEADLY AS ONE! TLA FALLS DOWN, AS CAMERON ELLA AVA SLUMPS TLA! THIS MAY BE IT FOR THIS MATCH, AS CAMERON SLOWLY BEGINS TO CRAWL OVER, AND HOOK THE LEG, THIS MATCH MAY BE IN THE BAG FOR THE SERPENT!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
James Peters: BUT LA PANTERA SEXUAL IS STILL IN THIS ONE!!!!! HE STAYS ALIVE AS HE POWERS A SHOULDER UP, KEEPING THIS MATCH ALIVE FOR ALL OF THE HOMBRES AT HOME CELEBRATING FOR “YO BOI”!!!! THEY’RE ROOTING FOR TLA, AS THE CROWD GOES WILD, AND CAMERON ELLA AVA CANNOT BELIEVE IT! WHAT DOES SHE HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO PUT TLA AWAY? SO MANY ELITISTS OVER THE YEARS HAVE BEGGED THIS QUESTION, BUT VERY FEW HAVE HAD THE ANSWER! THE HARDCORE CHAMPION STAYS ALIVE IN THIS ONE, AS CAMERON HAS NOTHING LEFT TO DO BUT WHAT COULD BE HER LAST RESORT HERE!
Rich Russillo: CAMERON ELLA AVA SLOWLY BEGINS TO RECOVER TO HER FEET, AS SHE GRABS TLA BY THE HEAD, AND STARTS TO LIFT HIM UP TO HIS FEET ALSO! HE’S ON JELLY LEGS, HE HAS BARELY ANY IDEA WHERE HE IS, BUT THAT FIGHTING SPIRIT TAKES LONGER TO BURN OUT THAN A BLUNT! CAMERON LIFTS TLA UP ONTO HER SHOULDERS HERE, AS ‘NO BODY, NO CRIME’ LOOKS TO BE CONNECTED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! THE FIREMAN’S CARRY CUTTER COULD END THIS HERE, AS CAMERON LOOKS TO-
James Peters: MAKESHIFT ‘MEXICAN DESTROYER’!!!! THE HE DOESN’T GET ALL OF IT, BUT TLA SLIPS OFF OF HER SHOULDERS, AND SPIKES HER DOWN ONTO HER HEAD!!!!
(Cameron Ella Ava bounces up to her feet due to the whiplash of the move, before slowly falling backwards, as she was unconscious on her feet. TLA, however, takes those extra few moments to catch his breath. He couldn’t move, he needed to regather his energy, before he makes the slow climb over to Cameron…)
James Peters: COME ON TLA! YOU’RE SO CLOSE! HE’S JUST A FINGERTIP AWAY FROM THROWING HIS ARM OVER CAMERON’S TORSO… HE DOES IT! THE COVER!!!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
James Peters: HE DOES IT!
…
Referee: (off-mic) ROPE BREAK!!!
James Peters: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!1
(As TLA hears the referee shout this, he rolls onto his back, placing his hands over his head.)
James Peters: You could almost feel the energy be ripped out of the room right there, as TLA was so close to that win, but the elongated waiting and crawling time, alongside with the positioning of Cameron right next to the ropes – even perhaps a lack of leverage – made it so she was able to place her foot right on the bottom rope in time! So close, but not close enough!
Rich Russillo: Exactly, James! TLA almost had this match in the bag, but not quite! He was a mere hair away from winning! He was so close, but not close enough!
(TLA slowly begins to recover, as he uses the ropes to his advantage. At the opposite end of the ring, Cameron Ella Ava does the same, pulling herself up one by one. The two, across from one another, take a glance at each other… before charging!)
Rich Russillo: BUT NOW THESE TWO – ON JELLY LEGS, BARELY KEEPING THEMSELVES UP – CHARGE FORWARD AS THEY BEGIN TO BRAWL! TRADING RIGHT HOOKS, LEFT HOOKS, FOREARMS; ANYTHING THEY CAN DO IN ORDER TO GAIN AN ADVANTAGE, THEY DO IT! TLA AND CAMERON BEGIN TO PUMMEL ONE ANOTHER HERE, TLA AND CAMERON LOOK TO TAKE ONE ANOTHER OUT-
James Peters: ‘SWAG SHOT’!!! THE ‘SWAG SHOT’ FROM TLA ROCKS CAMERON ELLA AVA, A CLOUD OF SWEAT BEING PIMP SLAPPED RIGHT OFF OF HER, AS SHE’S OUT ON HER FEET! TLA LOOKS TO CAPITALIZ-
Rich Russillo: ‘WONDER WOMAN PUNCH’!!!! THE WONDER WOMAN PUNCH CONNECTS TO TLA’S HEAD, AS HE FALLS TO HIS KNEES, AND CAMERON BACKS UP INTO THE CORNER!!! SHE HAS IT SET UP! SHE HAS ‘GODDESS RISING’ IN HER SIGHTS RIGHT HERE!!! THE REFEREE LOOKS TO CHECK UP ON TLA, AS SHE SETS IT UP IN THE CORNER-
(**CRACK!**)
James Peters: WAIT WHAT???
Rich Russillo: CAMERON SLUMPS FORWARD, AND HITS THE MAT FACE-FIRST…
James Peters: OH MY GOD IT’S…
(The camera pans around, to show…)
James Peters: IT’S DR. BETHANY BLUE! SHE JUMPS OFF THE APRON… WITH A HAMMER IN HER HAND! THE HAMMER FROM THE BELL CREW!!! CAMERON ELLA AVA FALLS FACE-FIRST, AND NEITHER THE REFEREE NOR TLA SAW WHAT HAPPENED!!!! CAMERON UST GOT SCREWED, AS TLA BEGINS TO RECOVER!
Rich Russillo: FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH, TLA QUITE LITERALLY JUST THINKS CAMERON FELL OVER FROM THAT SWAG SHOT! TLA JUST THINKS IT WAS THE SWAG SHOT THAT DID THIS, NOTHING ELSE, AS HE STUMBLES OVER TO CAPITALIZE! HE ROLLS HER OVER, AND BEGINS TO SCALE THE TURNBUCKLES… ‘BURNOUT’!!!!!!! CORKSCREW 630 SENTON CONNECTS, AS THE CROWD’S ENERGY IS COMPLETELY GONE! THIS ISN’T HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO END FOR THEM!
James Peters: COVER!!!!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… THE EAW HARDCORE CHAMPION… T…L…AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac begins to blare through the speakers, as the crowd are utterly baffled. Like, they ARE happy that TLA won, seeing TLA win anything is always going to get people happy, but to see him win in such a manner is a different energy entirely. TLA has no idea what happened, he has no idea he was in line for a ‘Goddess Rising’ – nor does he have any idea what Dr. Bethany Blue did. As he comes to his feet, and the referee hands him the Hardcore Championship, the referee raises his arm as TLA raises his title, the two completely oblivious to what just happened. Hell, perhaps even Cameron, as she was out cold before she could even see who it was.)
James Peters: Well… what a match… but… that ending!
Rich Russillo: These two were coming to what could have been the climax of the entire match, however, Dr. Bethany Blue snuck up behind, and clocked Cameron with the hammer! I’m not sure how many if any of them in the ring realie what just happened, but I’m sure this will radiate a different energy once they all find out!
James Peters: Of course, congratulations are in order for TLA, the two of them put on one hell of a match, but I think even TLA would be a bit disappointed when he finds out what happened!
(TLA would celebrate on the top rope, as Cameron comes into consciousness in the corner. She looks up at the ramp to see Dr. Bethany Blue, as she begins to piece things together one by one. TLA, on the other hand, didn’t see her at all. He believes he won this fair and square, and celebrates as if that were true. In his mind, it is. Eventually, as his celebration continues, Voltage fades out to commercial break.)
(A commercial for One Piece Episode 1071 begins to play, streaming on Crunchyroll! If the servers aren’t crashed because the episode is too PEAK!)
(The camera fades over to the office of Molly Waters, which is usually seen for Fight Grid. The fans cheer as Molly is seen seated in front of the camera. Molly herself is seen with a smile on her face, and before long she begins to speak.)
Molly Waters: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining me here tonight! As always I’m Molly Waters, and today we have something different for all of you as we’ll be taking a look at the upcoming EAW World Championship match at Bloodsport. That match will see the Champion Drake King take on three different challengers in Alex Myers, Ruler, and Donovan Duke. Last week we learned that this match will be a “Cage of Death” match, and I’m sure it’ll be nothing short of incredible. Tonight we’ll be going over the chances of those three challengers, as all three of them plan to dethrone Drake, and be the one leaving Bloodsport with their first World Championship. So, let’s take a look, shall we?
(Molly smiles once again as the camera begins to fade away from the area. Before long, the footage is replaced as a video package would begin to play.)
[SCREENBAR – Battle of Egypt III: Alexandria Falls]
(Footage is shown of Alex Myers, connecting with their “Sacrifice of Euphoria” move on former New Breed Champion Jon Kelton, before finally hooking the legs. This would receive a three count, and the entire crowd would explode with cheers as Alex Myers is crowned New Breed Champion.)
Narrator: Alex Myers has risen to great heights in EAW. Through hard work and dedication Alex was able to make history with their New Breed Championship victory, but they did not stop there.
(Highlights would be shown of Alex Myers’ New Breed Championship reign. Their first successful defense against Aurora Monroe and Ruler at Pain for Pride 15, followed by their second successful defense, which was against Abel Atami at Showdown’s Dead Men Tell No Tales.)
Narrator: Alex Myers would continue to reach greater heights. Even after losing the New Breed Championship, Alex proved that they were one of the greatest rising stars in EAW, only continuing to impress as time went on.
(More highlights of Alex Myers’ season 16 would be shown. They’d be seen facing Kassidy Heart and Impact alongside Jack Ripley back at No Regards, before finally defeating Jack Ripley at Road to Redemption. Other highlights would include Myers’ performance in the King of Elite tournament, where they were able to defeat Xander Payne. Reasonable Doubt would be another big night for Alex, where they were able to defeat various Elitists such as Donovan Duke, Holly Arrow, Jon Kelton and more to earn number one contendership for the Answers World Championship.)
Narrator: Before long Alex had succeeded in proving how talented they really are, and in only a few months following their loss of the New Breed Championship, the idea of Alex Myers as World Champion only became more and more likely.
(Highlights of the match between Alex Myers and Jake Smith at Grand Rampage would be shown. While Alex may not have won this match, they absolutely had an incredible performance, one that pushed the Answers World Champion to his limit. This would lead to Pain for Pride 16, where one year after competing in a New Breed Championship match, Alex Myers would be seen in the Cash the Vault ladder match. This would be another amazing performance from Alex, one that proved they were capable of going up against the best.)
Narrator: Have these moments prepared Alex Myers for one of their biggest matches yet?
(Alex Myers would be seen in various matches, taking on Drake King on Voltage just a few months ago, Donovan Duke and Ruler at Pain for Pride and more.)
Narrator: Has all this led to Alex Myers becoming World Champion?
(A shot of Alex Myers holding the New Breed Championship would be shown, before fading to a shot from this very season, where they had a staredown with the competitors in the EAW World Championship match at Bloodsport.)
Narrator: … Or will it be the man that has already defeated Alex to win one Championship?
[SCREENBAR – Territorial Invasion 2022]
(Alex Myers would be seen attempting their “Sinner’s Lullaby” move, but it’d be countered by none other than Ruler. Ruler caught Alex in a sleeper hold position, transitioning into their “Bloodrayne Maker” finishing move. This allowed Ruler to pin Alex for the three count, ending the Championship reign that allowed Alex to rise so far up the ranks in the first place.)
Narrator: Ruler is not known to be a fan favorite the way Alex Myers is, but Ruler has shown exactly what he’s capable of regardless of whether the world is on his side or not. This has made him into a threat, a threat even his friend and former enemy Alex Myers could not overcome.
(Ruler would be seen defending the New Breed Championship throughout the first half of season 16, retaining it against Mei Sasaki at Road to Redemption, and before that competing in one of the most memorable matches of 2022 as he defeated Caroline at Justified Reckoning in a match with his own unique stipulation: “Thou Shalt Not Kill”.)
Narrator: It wasn’t until King of Elite this year that Caroline would successfully seek revenge against Ruler, taking the New Breed Championship from him. Even with that loss however, Ruler did not stop rising.
(His matches following King of Elite would be shown, and each of these matches would be big. Ruler would be seen competing at Operation: Doomsday, facing Bronson Daniels in an incredibly competitive match, which made it clear that Ruler had not reached a ceiling by any means. These excellent performances would continue into Grand Rampage, where Ruler would start the match against his rival Joso, and end all the way within the final five. This was one of the most impressive performances of the match, and helped prove that Ruler was undoubtedly going to be a significant part of EAW’s future.)
Narrator: Ruler’s incredible performance in the Grand Rampage would give him some incredible momentum, momentum that allowed him to meet his former rival at the most important event of the entire year. The same stage they once shared one year prior.
(Highlights of Pain for Pride 16 would be shown once more, once again recapping the Cash in the Vault ladder match. The difference is, this time around the recap wouldn’t be focused on Alex Myers. Instead, it’d be focused on Ruler, the former New Breed Champion who had since proven that they’re absolutely capable of reaching even greater heights. Much like Alex, Ruler had a phenomenal performance at Pain for Pride, where even in defeat he had made it clear that he was in for a big season.)
Narrator: This all made one thing clear to Ruler. He was ready to become World Champion.
(The video package would show a clip from the very first Voltage of season 17. Ruler would open the show, making it clear that he wanted a match for the EAW World Championship.)
Narrator: Ruler was the first to make his intentions known, and the first to strike. Will this lead to *him* becoming the EAW World Championship?…
(Footage is shown from the match between Donovan Duke and Jack Ripley, where Ruler made an appearance as he used the black mist against Donovan.)
Narrator: Or will it be the man whose last Championship reign was record breaking?
[SCREENBAR – King of Elite 2022]
(Minerva and Jake Smith are seen fighting for the National Elite Championship at King of Elite. It was a very competitive match that seemed to be on the verge of ending with a no contest, but at the last second Donovan Duke would cash in. This would ultimately allow Donovan to drop Jake with his “Duke of Hazard” finisher, and pin Jake to become the new National Elite Champion.)
Narrator: At this event Donovan Duke would become a Champion for the first time, and while many doubted him at one point, this reign alone would silence every single one of his doubters. By the time it was over, there was no telling what heights Donovan may be capable of reaching.
(Matches throughout Donovan Duke’s National Elite Championship reign would be seen. Lucas Johnson at Shock Value 2022, his successful defense against the legendary Mr. DEDEDE on Voltage, his performance in the Grand Rampage match, and his defense against Ryan Wilson at Pain for Pride 15 would all be shown. Heading into season 16 he’d continue to compete in major matches, defending against Jon Kelton at Dead Men Tell No Tales, representing Showdown in Brand Warfare at Territorial Invasion, and defending once more against Harley Lewis at No Regards. During this reign he’d even compete in the Elimination Chamber for the Answers World Championship, before finally meeting Veena Adams at King of Elite.)
Narrator: Donovan Duke would lose the National Elite Championship nearly an entire year after he won it, but that reign was not the end for him. Far from it.
(Donovan Duke would have more fantastic performances following his loss of the National Elite Championship. He’d take part in the Answers World Championship number one contendership match at Reasonable Doubt, which took the combined effort of Alex Myers and Holly Arrow to take him out. He’d also be seen in the Grand Rampage match once again, and much like the year before, Donovan would have a fantastic performance. Donovan would also be seen competing for the Answers World Championship against Jake Smith at Fighting Spirit, a competitive match against the same man he pinned to win his first Championship.)
Narrator: In the end, Cash in the Vault would be an experience familiar to all three challengers, as they all looked to prove that a World Championship win is in their near future.
(Donovan Duke’s performance in the Cash in the Vault ladder match is shown, showing just how similar their journeys were throughout season 16. Donovan would do well in that match, and follow that performance up with another great one in a match against Theron Nikolas only one week after Pain for Pride 16, at the Draft show.)
Narrator: Donovan’s future is incredibly bright, and his performances would ultimately lead him to the same place it led Alex and Ruler.
(Donovan Duke would be seen walking out at the first Voltage of season 17, interrupting Ruler and Alex Myers and making it clear that just like them, he wants the opportunity to become World Champion.)
Narrator: Donovan Duke has accomplished more in one Championship reign than many are able to with multiple. However…
(Highlights from the last few weeks are shown, featuring all of the brawls between Donovan Duke, Ruler, Alex Myers and the Champion, Drake King.)
Narrator: Will that success be carried over to a potential World Championship win?
(The video package fades out from there, before transitioning back to Molly Waters in her office. Molly is once again seen in front of the camera as the fans cheer, and she begins to speak.)
Molly Waters: All three of these Elitists are undoubtedly rising stars, but which one of them has the greatest chance of becoming EAW World Champion? It’s an interesting question, because all three of them have their own advantages heading into this match.
(An image is shown on the screen of Alex Myers.)
Molly Waters: Throughout season 16 Alex Myers has had the chance to face off against many different Hall of Famers, future Hall of Famers and World Championship level competitors. Victories over TLA, Jack Ripley, Xander Payne and more have all done a great job of proving what they’re capable of, and that’s not even mentioning the many other experiences they’ve had, including matches against Drake King himself. Alex has been around for a while and has had time to learn from any mistakes they may have made, especially when it comes to the World Championship picture. Alex also has an advantage when it comes to experiences with the other participants in this match, as Alex has shared the ring with both the Champion and the other two challengers multiple times, and is close friends with two of them. Does Alex have the BEST chance of becoming EAW World Champion? That’s up to you all to decide, but they definitely have a very good chance. Then again, so does Ruler!
(An image of Ruler appears on the screen, replacing Alex Myers.)
Molly Waters: Ruler hasn’t spent as long in the World Championship picture as neither Alex nor Donovan, yet that lack of experience may be as much of an advantage as it could be considered a disadvantage. Neither Donovan Duke nor Drake King have as much experience with Ruler as Alex Myers does, and as we’ve seen moments ago, Ruler has proven that he has the ability to overcome Alex in Championship matches. Ruler has also proven that he can survive in multi-man matches, because making it as far as he did in the Grand Rampage feat is an incredible feat that only the very best are able to accomplish. With thirty different Elitists all entering the match, it takes a great amount of heart to make it as far as Ruler. Ruler was also the Elitist that started all of this, and with his attitude over the past few weeks, some may say that Ruler is willing to do anything in order to become World Champion, even if Alex is his friend and he’s claimed to hold respect for Donovan as a competitor. Ruler’s recent aggression definitely makes him a potential candidate to become EAW World Champion.
(Finally an image of Donovan Duke is shown on the screen, which replaces Ruler’s.)
Molly Waters: Of course, Donovan Duke is also a fantastic option. After all, even while he was holding the National Elite Championship he was facing Mr. DEDEDE, competing in Grande Rampages and Brand Warfares, and even Elimination Chambers. Donovan Duke is definitely no stranger to the World Championship picture thanks to this, and Donovan also has the most experience with the Champion and may know exactly what to expect when Bloodsport comes around. Donovan is an incredible competitor and has definitely shown an amazing amount of heart. Not many are able to hold a Championship for nearly an entire year, not even the very best in EAW history. It takes a special kind of talent to do that, and of course, Donovan has absolutely proven since that reign that he’s not willing to become complacent. His desire to fight for more may just bring him to the EAW World Championship. After all, Donovan competed for a World Championship only just before Pain for Pride. There’s no doubt he’s learned since then, and that may make him a serious threat very soon.
Molly Waters: With that being said, it’s very difficult to say which challenger has the very best chance of winning. Ruler could absolutely shock the world by winning the match despite being the least experienced, Alex Myers could allow their experience to guide them and do what they were unable to before, and Donovan Duke can continue to exceed expectations, reaching even greater heights than what was already expected. In the end there’s only one thing I can say for sure, and that’s that the EAW World Championship may very well change hands at Bloodsport. This won’t be an easy match for anyone involved, especially not the Champion.
(With that said, Molly smiles at the camera one more time as the camera begins to slowly pan out and fade away from the area.)
( Sunday Night Voltage returns to ringside with the crowd seated for one final match of the night that we’ve all been waiting for. Bella Braxton has already been standing at the center of the ring, getting ready to announce this Main Event. )
Bella Braxton: YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘Stronger (Salü Remix)’ by the Score hits the PA system to a very loud cheer from the crowd, but the silence has already been broken for Persephone, as we can hear her screaming in joy louder than the crowd cheering for Rex here tonight. Rex McAllister comes out with a focused look on his face for the Main Event tonight. Rex knows what he’s facing: Drake King, the current World Champion, and he knows it’s not going to be easy for himself, so he has to make sure that he’s very ready to win this battle against Drake King. Rex makes his way down the ramp to the ring, showing no fear, only determination to win this main event. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM SEA ISLE, NEW JERSEY!… WEIGHING IN AT 238 POUNDS!…. HE’S EAW HALL OF FAMER!… ‘THE LIONHEART’ !!!!!!!… REXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!…. MCCCCCCCCCCCALLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Persephone: https://tenor.com/view/the-goat-black-guy-gif-17915341
James Peters: REX IS HERE!
Persephone: Actually, just shut up and let me do this, James. Rex is the best wrestler in the world. Without Rex, there is no Voltage, there perhaps is no EAW. Well, not even perhaps, there is definitely no EAW without Rex. There is no man better than Rex in that whole world. He’s not just only a good, gentle husband of mine, but also a very strong hero that always comes and saves Sunday Night Voltage. Rex is the most talented man in the world as well. Rex was always the best World Champion. Anytime I see Rex, my legs start shaking, and then my puss-
James Peters: Okay we get it, you love him. Rex is not even your husband.
Persephone: I’m doing more than loving him, James. Don’t ever disrespect my fondness for Rex like that.
Rich Russillo: ANYWAY, GUYS! Rex is here, and he’s ready to face Drake King here tonight! This is going to be a tremendous main event to watch for all of us!
( Rex arrives in the ring as he goes into the corner and begins warming up with Persephone stepping on the table and starts jumping on there, yelling his name and cheering for him with some of the most fangirl things you will ever expect from her. Rex waves his hand back at Persephone and smiles as she shocks and almost falls off the table. Luckily, Rich makes a save, then puts her down right on the chair and sits in the same seat, then proceeds with the show like nothing has happened. )
James Peters: Jesus Christ.
( ‘Footsteps of Doom’ by Kohta Yamamoto hits to more cheers, as Drake King steps out in black and gold attire, with various gold parts around his pants made out of crocodile leather, while black seems to be black full-grain leather, which is the highest quality leather in the world. Drake has the EAW World Championship around his waist, as well as the camera, pans in closer, showing how this belt looks in a closer look, then pans up to Drake as he looks at the camera and laughs out loud. Drake then turns his attention towards the ring and heads straight to the ring with joy and happiness tonight. )
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT!… FROM THE DEAD SEA, ISRAEL!… WEIGHING IN AT 220 POUNDS!… HE’S THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION!… ‘GOD’ !!!!!!!!… DRAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!…. KINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
James Peters: Here’s the EAW World Champion, who got three of his foes to handle at Bloodsport this year, such as Alex Myers, Ruler, and Donovan Duke. Drake accomplished earlier this year at Pain For Pride against Methuselah in Barbed Wire Massacre IX, which led to the name of ‘Barbed Wire Massacre God’ that he claimed. Tonight, Drake has to fight Rex McAllister, who is a former World Champion and a Hall of Famer as well, so this is going to be an intense match to watch.
( Persephone keeps on focusing and watching Rex with a big grin then she bites her own lip, not even showing an ounce of care for Drake King in the slightest. )
Rich Russillo: Both men are indeed high-profile, and no one in this match is lacking talent or wrestling skill. This is an intense battle between two legends in this business. Even though many still hate Drake to this day, we can’t deny that he’s also one of the men who’ve done a lot for this company. The same could be said for Rex.
( DING DING DING! )
Rich Russillo: MAIN EVENT TIME! This is definitely the most anticipated match for Voltage this week. The match has sold out the arena here tonight; everybody is here to witness another peak of wrestling once again. One former world champion and one current world champion are about to collide with each other. Two Hall of Famers come and face each other here tonight. EAW World Champion, Drake King, takes on Rex McAllister. These two are totally high-profile; both men have earned recognition and reputation from all across the world for what they have done for this business.
James Peters: The crowd has already been excited for this match. You could hear the noise and cheers, all that excitement coming their way. It couldn’t be stopped; this is undoubtedly the match for everybody.
Persephone: Only Daddy Rex can win this match. Only Daddy Rex can win this match. Only Daddy Rex can win this match. Only Daddy Rex can win this match. Only Daddy Rex can win this match.
Rich Russillo: Rex now starts heading out of the corner while Drake seems to be remaining in the corner at the moment. Rex has to be careful here because Drake could be really dangerous there if his actions go out of touch sooner or later. Drake keeps calm, looking straight at Rex, and doesn’t even seem to move out of the corner a bit. What is this man even trying to do here at this point?
James Peters: Well, you know, it’s Drake King. Anything can happen right now because we could barely predict what the World Champion could have done by now. Drake possesses a myriad of tactics up his sleeves, so it’s unquestionably difficult to predict what strategy he might employ to pick up a win in this match.
Rich Russillo: Rex raises both hands up and tries to get in contact with Drake there, but Drake is still not moving even a little. He remains in the same position and has no intention to pick up a fight with Rex sooner or later. Is this man even going to fight Rex at this point?
Persephone: Drake King is the bottom of the barrel in this game. Always has been. He always acts tough when others are watching, but when the top dog, the cat’s pajamas, and the bee’s knees :periodt: like Rex steps into the ring with him, Drake will be eating crow as Rexy takes him to the cleaners.
James Peters: Rex is just about to get Drake out of the ring but Drake makes an escape, rolling down to the outside of the ring now he begins pacing around while Rex might be standing there and seems a bit confused about what Drake could be doing here.
( Drake begins to lean against the barricade and starts looking down to the floor, seemingly to be thinking about something while Rex keeps his eyes on Drake and continues focusing on what Drake could have been doing down there. Drake then begins walking and starts rolling back inside the ring with Rex maintaining his focus on Drake, no matter what this man could have been doing. )
Rex McAllister: (Off-Mic) Come on, Drake!
Persephone: Yeah listen to my glorious king, dumbass!
Rich Russillo: Alright, I think the match is just about to start rolling here now. Here comes Drake, beginning to shift his focus for this match and aiming at Rex. Rex always has his guard up, looking to join Drake with a collar and elbow tie-up right here. These two are about to make a contract with each other after waiting for a bit while here.
( SLAP! )
James Peters: :lupe:
Rich Russillo: :lupe:
Persephone: DON’T DO MY KING LIKE THAT! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!
( Drake just disrespectfully slaps Rex very hard right before he could make a contract with him, leaving Rex staggering back a bit from the forceful mark that Drake just left on him. Drake simply stands there and shrugs as his smile begins to grow while watching Rex feeling a bit frustrated from the trick Drake just pulled there. )
James Peters: Quite a certain Rex was attempting to approach this in a nonchalant manner, but I reckon that facade won’t endure much further.
Rich Russillo: OH DEFINITELY NOT! REX IS NOT GOING TO TAKE THAT LIGHTLY AND HOLDING BACK FROM THE DISRESPECT THAT DRAKE JUST THREW DOWN IN HIS WAY LIKE THAT, EVEN A BIT! REX IS GOING OFF AGAINST DRAKE RIGHT THERE! REX CONNECTS WITH DRAKE WITH A RIGHT HAND, AND ANOTHER RIGHT-HAND KEEPS ON GOING, SENDING DRAKE STUMBLING BACK TOWARDS THE ROPES! REX NOW GRABS DRAKE BY HIS WRIST AND SENDS HIM FLYING ACROSS THE RING… RUNNING LARIAT TURNS DRAKE ALL INSIDE OUT! THAT’S ONE KIND OF LARIAT FOR SURE, TO MAKE DRAKE TURN SIDEWAYS OUT IN 360 DEGREES LIKE A WINDMILL!
Persephone: THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER! YES DADDY, HIT HIM HARDER! BEAT HIM TO DEATH!
James Peters: Drake now rolls to the outside and catches some break after the lariat hit him real hard right there. The World Champion is already in a tough position. Karma is impending and nipping at his heels for the trifling matter he attempts to perpetrate against his opponent in such a manner.
Rich Russillo: Here comes Rex McAllister! Rex descends to the ringside and delivers a Yakuza Kick, catching a standing Drake off-guard as Drake begins endeavoring to recuperate from the strike! Drake falls, but he immediately escapes back inside the ring, trying to avoid Rex and any of his attacks that he’s going to throw down in his way right now!
Persephone: HE’S SUCH A COWARD BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!
James Peters: Drake commences returning to his feet while holding down his head from the Yakuza Kick strike he suffered earlier on the outside. Rex follows him back inside the ring, not even missing just one footstep to track down Drake there. Here comes Rex again, running toward Drake, and he’s looking for a Jumping High Knee!
Rich Russillo: CLOSE! Drake, with both hands clutching the knee and turning with his back facing him… Drake grabs the wrist and now sends Rex spinning forward, looking for a Ripcord Knee right at his jaw!
Persephone: NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!
James Peters: Rex still has his free arm! Rex just struck Drake with his right elbow, but Drake remains having his wrist firmly in his grasp! Rex connects with a kick to break free, stepping in and attempting for a quick clothesline on Drake again!
Persephone: YES! GET HIM!
Rich Russillo: Drake ducks underneath the arm, goes right behind Rex, and rushes towards the ropes. Drake rebounds off the ropes and attempts for a Running Superkick to wear down his opponent again!
James Peters: Rex somehow runs towards the ropes as well, heading straight to where Drake bounced himself off. Drake pulls a brake at the center of the ring and turns back around with Rex already charging at him!… BICYCLE KICK TO DRAKE’S JAW!
Persephone: AHHHHHHHHHHHHEGOBIHOG$JGI$H(GO$NIBOG$JNIOG$IJPOGJ$HGJO{$RJG($OKJGOI$HJGPO$JOGJG{PO$OGKJPO$GJOPGJKGH$*(JGH$*(GH($RHG)($JG$GJ_)
James Peters: Drake is hit by a Bicycle Kick and goes down to both knees. Rex has the advantage to take a new step ahead of Drake in this match, pulling him back up on both feet and now seizing him, trying to take down Drake with a German Suplex from behind!
Persephone: I want him to stand behind me like that right now. *bites lip*
Rich Russillo: The main event is on right now! Drake already has it all planned with himself, entangling both arms of Rex McAllister with his legs, rolling into a wheelbarrow pinfall attempt on Rex! Drake looks to pick up a quick victory against Rex there!
Persephone: NO REF! HE’S CHEATING! DON’T COUNT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: REX KICKS OUT!… IMMEDIATELY ROLLS BACKWARD AND TURNS INTO HIS OWN PINFALL!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Persephone: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE KICKS OUT AS WELL!
James Peters: Rex rolls back to his feet as soon as Drake kicks out. Drake rolls over down to the corner and begins finding his own pace while Rex may want to find a new target on the other side. Rex now focuses, got the target locked in his sights, and looks to strike Drake while he’s already down at the corner! Drake manages to move out of his way right in time, school-boy rolling Rex down from behind.… SUPERKICK BY DRAKE! Drake steps in… SEIZES REX UP AND FALCON ARROW PLANTS HIM!
Persephone: Hope you fare sooner or later, Drake. I have never been liking your bitchass ever since you started your career in 2018. You’ve always been a lackluster wrestler, a mediocre promoer, and a vile human being until now. I hope you endure the worst for all the transgressions you have committed. I’m going to be seated first class when I have to see you rot in Hell. Fuck you.
James Peters: Hey, it’s okay. People get hurt when they wrestle.
Rich Russillo: Drake just managed to handle Rex there with a quick Superkick, but Drake is still far from down after landing the Falcon Arrow following the kick as well. Drake now has Rex back upon his feet and has him in a hold. Drake already has his game plan set ahead of what Rex could have brought to the ring at this point. Drake now begins finding a spot to place his hand on Rex again, lifting him up this time!… PUMPHANDLE NECKBREAKER LANDS!
James Peters: Pumphandle Neckbreaker surely just wears down Rex there by Drake, he is back on top once again in this match. Rex has been trying to hit Drake with a couple of striking moves earlier in this bout to make sure that Drake will get weakened down as time goes. Now with Drake firing him back with hard-hitting maneuvers and powerhouse strategies in this match against Rex, Drake surely has a bigger upper hand that Rex had earlier.
Persephone: I DON’T PLEAD FOR THIS! I ONLY WISH DRAKE IS SUFFERING WHILE REX REMAINS RESILIENT AND JOYOUS TO SEE ME TONIGHT! I CARE NAUGHT FOR DRAKE! I HOPE HE FUCKING RETIRES AFTER THIS MATCH AND GOES TO JUMP OFF THE BRIDGE FOR ALL I CARE!
Rich Russillo: Drake has already planted both feet with Rex unconscious on the ground. The champ keeps on controlling this match all by himself. Drake picks Rex off the ground after the Neckbreaker is being executed, sending Rex running straight into the corner. ‘God’ himself has all the dots connected and is running towards Rex, jumping down and going for a corner lariat!
Persephone: REX MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! STUPID DRAKE!
James Peters: Drake just sent himself right into the corner, and his chest surely hurts there. Drake dropped himself on the top turnbuckle, and Rex is already standing by behind Drake. Rex now drags Drake out of the corner from behind and quickly executes a Side Russian Leg Sweep, dropping Drake to the ground!
Rich Russillo: Well, Drake isn’t staying on the top for long with Rex back in the game once again, and he just had Drake under his control once more. The Lionhart surely shows some true heart in battling against the current World Champion here. Rex now begins heading down into the corner and just keeps his eyes on Drake, making sure that he won’t be losing sight of “God” himself sooner.
Persephone: Stop calling Drake God when Rex is just right there, you total losers.
James Peters: Drake now begins rolling back to his feet, with his back still hurting from the sheer attack of the Russian Leg Sweep. Rex has Drake in his crosshairs, charging towards the corner and looking for a Jumping High Knee across the jaw of the God once again!
Rich Russillo: God saves his day! Drake sidesteps as Rex misses the mark. Drake now grabs Rex by the back of his pants and rolls Rex from behind! Both shoulders are down! Drake is looking to steal it!
Persephone: NOT EVEN ONE! KICK OUT BY DADDY!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: REX KICKS OUT! Drake almost has him there, but not close enough for the World Champion to have Rex where he wanted him to be and secure this victory. Drake and Rex roll back to their feet at the same time. As Drake runs in, looking for a Bicycle Kick to Rex! Rex intercepts, both hands grabbing the boot of the Messiah, seizing him immediately, and putting Drake on hold… BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX BY THE LIONHEART!
Persephone: AH THAT BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX IS TOO GOOD!!
Rich Russillo: WHAT A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX BY REX! Drake has been dropped to the ground once again by Rex McAllister, putting the World Champion right back in a bad predicament there. Rex has been careful with what he’s trying to do in this match so far, and that makes him seem to be dominating against the World Champion already. Drake still has to figure out a better way to slam the Lionheart back here; otherwise, Drake might be picking up an L sooner or later!
James Peters: Drake now uses the middle rope, pulling himself back to his feet again while Rex already has Drake under his radar once again, sneaking up right from behind, and he’s trying to pull Drake away from the ropes! Drake clutches the rope tightly, not letting himself be dragged out by Rex just yet! The referee comes in and tries to stop Rex from there, but REX USES HIS POWER TO PULL DRAKE OUT OF THERE HIMSELF! REX JUST GAINED THE STRENGTH TO PULL THAT OFF, AND NOW HE LOOKS TO DROP THE WORLD CHAMPION AGAINST THIS WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Persephone: :blessed:
Rich Russillo: BOTH FEET LANDING ON THE GROUND! Drake just saved himself from the German Suplex that was about to drop him on the back of his head again! Rex turns back around and runs towards Drake right after Drake made a save! Rex throws a lariat at Drake, trying to cut his head off, but Drake ducks underneath, steps right behind him, catching Rex by his wrist!… RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE BY THE WORLD CHAMPION!
Persephone: This match is mid now.
James Peters: Rex has his face crashing into the knee of God! Drake turns Rex around with his back facing him. Drake hooks both arms and hoists Rex up into the air!… SITOUT CHICKENWING FACEBUSTER PLANTS REX! Drake just sent Rex to the ground, his face driving into the mat as he kisses the canvas.
Persephone: NO PLEASE! GET UP!
Rich Russillo: Rex is down this time, with Drake finally gaining some good upper hand in this match. Drake doesn’t seem like he’s looking for a pin just yet. Drake picks himself up off the ground, heading into the corner, focusing on his one and only target who is already down on the ground! Rex is still trying to figure out his way to return to both feet there, but he might just come to an end there!
James Peters: BOTH FEET AREN’T EVEN ON THE GROUND, AND DRAKE ALREADY REACHES OUT FOR THE CORNER. DRAKE CHARGES IN, AND HE IS LOOKING TO FAREWELL REX WITH THE CURB STOMP RIGHT AT THE CENTER OF THE RING! JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING TOO EARLY FOR THE LIONHEART!
Rich Russillo: WOAH! REX JUST FLIPS OVER THE ARM OF DRAKE KING AND HAS HIM RIGHT UNDER HIS LEGS! HE SENDS DRAKE UP ON HIS SHOULDERS WITH HIMSELF SETTING IT ALL UP FOR THIS! REX JUST REVERSED THE ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’ FROM DRAKE, AND REX IS PREPARED FOR THIS!… FLOAT-OVER POWERBOMB CONNECTS!
Persephone: AHA! YES!
James Peters: REX COVERS!
Persephone: ONE TWO THREE! HERE IS YOUR WINNER! THE BEST HUSBAND IN THE WORLD, REX ‘THE KING’ MCALLISTER!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THRE-
James Peters: DRAKE KICKS OUT AT THE LAST SECOND!
Rich Russillo: BUT LOOK, REX DOESN’T EVEN TAKE A BREAK IN THE MIDST OF THIS ONSLAUGHT! REX PICKS DRAKE BACK TO HIS FEET AS SOON AS HE JUST KICKED OUT OF THE PREVIOUS MOVE AT THE CENTER OF THE RING AND SETS DRAKE UP STRAIGHT AWAY! REX PICKS DRAKE OFF THE GROUND AND NOW SENDS HIM FLYING IN THE AIR!
James Peters: OLYMPIC SLAM CONNECTS BY REX, BUT REX ISN’T DONE YET! REX PICKS DRAKE OFF THE GROUND AGAIN AND SETS HIM UP FOR ANOTHER MOVE!… A STANDING MOONSAULT ON DRAKE! REX JUST WOWED DRAKE AGAIN WITH TWO OF HIS SIGNATURE MOVES AT THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Rich Russillo: REX JUST DROPPED THE WORLD CHAMPION RIGHT THERE! THAT’S BAD FOR DRAKE! BUT REX REMAINS COVERING HIM! HE’S GOING TO WIN THIS MATCH!
Persephone: THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED FOR THIS WHOLE ENTIRE NIGHT!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEE!
Persephone: IT’S OVER!
James Peters: DRAKE STILL KICKS OUT! WHAT?
Persephone: HE’S CHEATING!
Rich Russillo: I CAN’T EVEN BELIEVE IT EITHER! REX JUST TRIED TO DO EVERYTHING OUT THERE TO PUT DRAKE DOWN BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE FOR HIM; EVERYTHING REMAINS THE SAME!
James Peters: THE CHAMPION REMAINS IN THIS MATCH AFTER THAT KICK OUT. REX’S FACE SHOWS DISBELIEF AS WELL! REX PUTS A CONFIDENT GRIN ON HIS FACE AGAIN AND NOW BEGINS HELPING DRAKE OFF THE GROUND THERE! DRAKE UP TO BOTH FEET, THANKS TO REX, AND NOW REX RUNS BACK TO THE ROPES AND BOUNCES OFF!…
Persephone: THE REX!… EFFECTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!
James Peters: SUPERKICK BY DRAKE! THAT SUPERKICK JUST DROPPED REX ONTO THE GROUND!
Rich Russillo: Drake tries to go for a cover there, but Rex immediately falls down to the outside after a huge impact that launched him from the superkick by Drake! Drake tries to go for a cover, but Rex is already miles ahead on the outside!
( Drake jumps down and sees that Rex just rolled down to the outside! He shakes his head and begins pounding the mat as he just missed his chance to pin Rex. The kick was so hard that Rex is now on the ground, looking totally knocked out at the moment. Drake heads to the outside, approaching Rex and trying to pick him off the ground to send him back into the ring. )
James Peters: Drake takes a moment before rolling himself into the ring… BUT REX GETS BACK UP AND CONNECTS WITH A JUMPING HIGH KNEE! REX JUST TAKES DOWN THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION WITH THE JUMPING HIGH KNEE, AND DRAKE DROPS TO BOTH KNEES! REX NOW GRABS DRAKE, AND HE’S RUNNING BACK TO THE ROPES AGAIN! REX BOUNCES OFF, AND NOW ‘THE REX EFFECT’ DDT IS ABOUT TO CONNECT, PLANTING DRAKE TO THE GROUND!
Persephone: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Rich Russillo: NO, DRAKE HAS REX IN A HOLD THIS TIME! DRAKE LIFTS REX OFF THE GROUND AND PLANTS HIM WITH A FALCON ARROW! DRAKE IS STILL ABLE TO CATCH HIS BREATH, AND HE STILL HAS A CHANCE TO WIN THIS MATCH AND SAVE HIS REPUTATION! REX IS DOWN, AND DRAKE ALREADY HEADS BACK INTO THE RING! I THINK REX IS HURT PRETTY BADLY BY THE SUDDEN COUNTER FROM DRAKE! IS HE OKAY?
Persephone: OH NO! HE’S HURT! I NEED TO GO AND SAVE HIM!
James Peters: Well, there isn’t much time to waste, Drake is looking to pick up a win here! The referee still checks on him, but Drake always charges forward at the corner-
Rich Russillo: WAIT! WAIT! WHAT THE HELL?! THAT’S RULER!
James Peters: RULER HAS DRAKE AT THE CORNER WHERE HE’S CHARGING FOR ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’! RULER TURNS DRAKE AROUND!… BLACK MIST INTO DRAKE’S EYES! DRAKE IS JUST BEING BLINDED BY THE MIST! THE REFEREE JUST TURNED BACK AROUND! THE REFEREE DIDN’T SEE IT! DRAKE DOESN’T KNOW WHERE HE IS!!!!!
Rich Russillo: REX! REX! HE ROLLS HIM UP! I DON’T THINK REX KNOWS WHAT JUST HAPPENED, BUT HE’S ROLLING DRAKE UP!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
( DING DING DING! )
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… REX MCALLISTER!
Persephone: UGHEISGHEWIOBGW49GJB4WUG894WGIOHGO4WINHIGWH4WIOGH43WJGHIO4WHG9P4WBGIOWHJGOWIEHG90WHIOWHJGOP4WHGIOWGNIOWEJGIHEGTUBGOUGH4RH8GEHGIEHR8GSWHIGOSH9GHB9GH9SE9HB9GW3HJ0GOWIBHIO5HS90
( ‘Stronger (Salü Remix)’ by The Score hits the PA system as Rex rolls down to the outside, sitting and resting on the ground, while Drake sits there, still rolling around, and screaming in pain due to being blinded by the mist from Ruler. The camera then cuts and shows Ruler staring directly at Drake, possibly contemplating doing even more damage to the EAW World Champion.)
Rich Russillo: With the mist from Ruler, Rex was able to pick up a win against the EAW World Champion! I mean, that was a great match, but the way that ended was surprising. Ruler just played a part in Drake King’s loss!
James Peters: Yeah, and Ruler doesn’t look done yet-
( ‘I Rise’ by Cory Marks plays! )
James Peters: Oh boy, I think I know what’s about to happen.
Persephone: Oh my god, can they just let my husband celebrate????
Rich Russillo: IT’S DONOVAN DUKE! THE STORM IS COMING FOR RULER!
( A massive cheer erupts from the crowd as Ruler slowly turns around towards the stage where Donovan Duke is seen! Donovan comes out with a black T-shirt and blue jeans, walking out and looking totally frustrated with Ruler, who stands there equally frustrated with Donovan. Donovan makes his way straight to Ruler, then begins running towards him! Ruler, as well, starts running towards Donovan, and both men clash with each other! )
James Peters: THEY DON’T WASTE TIME ANY LONGER! BOTH MEN CRASH ON THE RAMP! RIGHT HAND FROM RULER! RIGHT HAND FROM DONOVAN! THEY BOTH ARE GOING RIGHT EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW! THE ARENA’S ROOF EXPLODES ALREADY WITH THESE TWO FIGHTING EACH OTHER! THE CROWD SURELY BACKS UP DONOVAN FIGHTING RULER AT THE MOMENT! WITH THE MOMENTUM, BLOODSPORT IS SURELY ABOUT TO BE FUN WITH WHAT’S GOING ON RIGHT NOW!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN NOW TAKES RULER DOWN, AND BOTH MEN ARE STILL GOING RIGHT AT EACH OTHER! THEY SURELY COULDN’T WAIT FOR BLOODSPORT ANY LONGER THAN THIS POINT! ONE OF THEM NEEDS TO BLEED TONIGHT!
James Peters: AND THEY ARE HERE AS WELL?
Rich Russillo: IS THAT?…. OHHHHHHHH YES! NOW HERE COMES ALEX MYERS!… but are they here for a fight?
( Alex Myers slowly steps out, while both men are still fighting on the ramp. Alex simply just stands there and shakes their head while the crowd cheers for Alex to join the fight that’s going on right now as well! However, Alex seems to resist their feelings and feels like they should not go pick up a fight with one of their friends at the moment. Alex now just stands there and watches Donovan and Ruler fighting without doing anything. )
James Peters: Seems like Alex might not be doing anything there, as much as those two are their close friends. They surely don’t necessarily want to pick a fight with one of them.
Persephone: Meh, who cares? Rex winning tonight is the most important thing that could ever happen to all of us- HEY, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING????
James Peters: What- OH! THAT’S MINERVA! THAT’S HIS BLOODSPORT OPPONENT AND SHE’S CHOKING REX OUT WITH SOMETHING RIGHT NOW!
Rich Russillo: IS THAT RAZOR WIRE WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK????
Persephone: WHAT?
( Rex is being choked out by Minerva, who suddenly appeared from the crowd section with razor wire that’s wrapping around Rex’s neck at the moment. Rex tries to move out, but the more pressure Minerva puts in the chokehold, the more Rex slowly succumbs to the pain and pressure of the chokehold combined with the razor wire wrapped around his neck. Minerva then releases Rex as she raises both arms while looking down at Rex, who is now passed out from the chokehold. )
James Peters: Minerva just shut Rex down there. Ruler and Donovan are still going right at each other! There’s a lot going on right now, ladies and gentlemen! However, thanks for joining us here tonight! We’ll see you next week once again on Sunday Night Voltage live from RDS Arena in Dublin, Ireland!
( Ruler and Donovan are still fighting, and Alex just remains watching both men throwing hands at each other. The camera cuts and reveals Drake still figuring his way out to wipe the mist off his face. Meanwhile, the last shot shows Minerva displaying her superiority towards Rex, standing tall while Rex is knocked out cold as Voltage finally comes to an end down there. )
( EAW logo buzzes. )
