(EAW intro plays.)
(As usual, a highlight video plays that recaps last week’s season premiere of Voltage, setting the tone for the season ahead. Once that is finished, the usual pyro explosion happens as the camera pans the audience before heading down to the broadcast booth. James, Rich, and Persephone, as always, are standing by.)
James Peters: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… WELCOME TO THE MOST EXCITING PROGRAM ON SUNDAY NIGHT!!!!
Rich Russillo: WELCOME TO… VOLTAGE! :blessed:
(“Stronger (salü remix)” by The Score starts playing as Rex McAllister enters the arena to loud cheers from the crowd as he heads straight to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome REX MCALLLLLLLISSSTERRRRRRR!
Persephone: MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!! SEXY REXY IS HERE!!! YAY!!!!!
James Peters: What a way to kick off Voltage than with the Hall of Famer Rex McAllister as he heads to the ring with a purpose and we are pretty sure it involves what happened last week.
Persephone: Yeah, my perfect party for my Sexy Rexy was ruined by that wench Minerva. We were all having such a good time and she had to stick her nose where it didn’t belong. I am still mad about that.
Rich Russillo: I can understand that you were not happy. All Rex was doing was expressing his gratitude to the fans by expressing how much he would love to make his way back to the top of EAW before being interrupted my Minerva—
Persephone: That bitch!
Rich Russillo: –who said that it isn’t going to be easy. Both Rex and Minerva are former World Champions who would absolutely love to get back to the top of the mountain. Will that happen? That remains to be seen, but right now, let’s hear what Rex has to say.
Persephone: Rexy, I’m here for you, baby! I will comfort you in your time of need.
(Rex walks over to the timekeeper’s table where Bella Braxton hands Rex a microphone before he heads into the ring. When in the ring, Rex’s entrance music fades and he gives the crowd a moment to let their cheers die down.)
Rex McAllister: Thank you all for that warm welcome, but as you can see I am out here to talk about what happened last week in the ring.
Persephone: Let that orange haired freak have it, Rexy!!
James Peters: Will you calm down?
Rex McAllister: After coming out to the heartwarming party thrown by Persephone, I made my intentions clear for Season 17. I want to get myself back to the top of EAW. I want to prove to the world that I haven’t lost a step. I want to be World Champion again….
Persephone: And you will, Rexy! I know you will.
Rex McAllister: But Minerva decided to come out to the ring and interrupt all the fun. She acknowledged the work that I have put in. She also made it clear that she is at the top of the mountain now and it wouldn’t be easy for me to reclaim my throne.
(The crowd gives a mixed reaction to that statement. They love both Rex and Minerva, but they really weren’t sure about those remarks from Minerva.)
Rex McAllister: To be quite honest, I really have no problem with change. I love the idea of being able to witness things change. There are so many great Elitists on Voltage and I am excited with the thought of being challenged by the best Voltage has to offer this season.
Rich Russillo: He’s right. There are so many dream matchups on the horizon this season thanks to the draft.
Rex McAllister: That also includes Minerva because as a competitor, I respect everything Minerva has been able to accomplish throughout her career. But I will say that after I have had this last week to think about things… I just can’t help but be just a little bit irritated knowing that it was HER that confronted me.
Persephone: Because she’s a fun sucking bitch!! Why does anybody like her?
Rich Russillo: Will you calm down for gawd’s sake?
Rex McAllister: After all, there is no way that I could easily forget everything that Minerva did to me and Raven three years ago. Do you remember? I know I do. Three years ago, Minerva exposed a secret not just to me, but to the entire world, and it was something extremely personal to my wife and I. Raven had yet to tell me that she was infertile, and having to find out the way I did was like a knife straight to my heart. That is NOT a memory that goes away with time.
Persephone: Oh, Rexy! You are hurting. I’ll carry your baby, honey.
James Peters: Sit down and shut up! Now is not the time. This is serious.
Rex McAllister: So, Minerva! Now that I have got all that off of my chest, how about you come out to the ring and we can discuss this like two mature and professional adults. So what do you say, Minerva?
(The crowd cheers wildly at Rex calling Minerva out.)
Rich Russillo: Here we go! Rex has called Minerva out. Will she respond to that and come out to the ring?
Persephone: If that bitch has a brain, she would stay in the back because I would love nothing more than to rip that horrible dye job out from the roots.
(After a few moments of silence and Rex keeping his gaze on the entrance ramp, “Blood, Milk & Sky” by White Zombie starts to play as Minerva enters the arena with a microphone in hand as she heads to the ring.)
James Peters: Business is about to pick up right now as here is Minerva. Minerva has a microphone, so it looks like we are about to get a rebuttal from her. I hope you are ready to start ripping, Persephone, because there she is.
Persephone: I have no idea what you are talking about. I didn’t say anything.
Rich Russillo: Of course you didn’t. Minerva has worked her ass off for the last year and a half to get herself as many opportunities as she can to be at the top of the mountain. She is a former EAW Champion and would love to win it again.
(Minerva slides into the ring and gets right in Rex’s face as her entrance music fades off. She is looking Rex dead in the eyes as she brings the mic up to finally speak.)
Minerva: May I remind you, Rex, that it has been three years since that happened. You said it yourself. Three years ago, I did what I thought was absolutely necessary to do against someone that I hated… someone that I despised!
(Rex just keeps looking at Minerva and doesn’t react to her statement. Minerva notices that and continues.)
Minerva: You know as well as I do that things have clearly changed since 2020. But one thing that hasn’t changed is the fact that I am still very much interested in being at the top of this company and being the face of it. And I am still willing to do whatever I must in order to be exactly where I deserve to be. That being said, I can’t take back anything that I said and did to Raven, and as a result, to you as well. I get that, but what you need to understand is that even if you want to keep throwing that in my face, I’m not going to let it stop me from moving on and putting down anyone who could be perceived as a threat to me.
Rex McAllister: So that means if you have to hurt an innocent person just for the sake of improving your own standings and your own personal gain, you will.
Minerva: You know better than anyone how things work in the land of Elite. It’s a cutthroat world, Rex, and that hasn’t changed. The landscape has. The faces have. But the way business is conducted? That remains the same. I have busted my ass since day one here and after standing toe-to-toe with and beating Jamie O’Hara at Pain for Pride, I KNOW that I am one of the very best of all-time. What I’ve done is not lost on me. I know where I stand and I’m not going to let any new or familiar face take my spot from me.
Rex McAllister: Yes, I heard you, but I want to give you one little warning. If you really want a fight like this, you’re going to get it. But you wouldn’t just be facing Rex McAllister. Oh no. You would be facing someone whose personal life you invaded for the sake of getting under somebody’s skin. I don’t think you have any idea of what you’re getting yourself into. I may not have expected to be involved in something so personal right off the bat, but I’m prepared for anything. If you think you’re going to step on me to prove some point, or just keep your momentum going from Pain for Pride, then you are talking to the wrong Elitist.
Minerva: You think so, Rex? Do you really think so? Well you know what? I THINK OTHERWISE!
(Minerva looks to exit the ring, but instead she quickly turns around and tries to hit Rex with the microphone.)
James Peters: LOOK AT THAT! MINERVA WAS LOOKING TO LEAVE THE RING AFTER THAT LITTLE DEBATE, BUT SHE TURNED AROUND AND SHE CLOCKED REX WITH THE MICROPHONE!
Persephone: LOOK AGAIN, OLD MAN! MY SEXY REXY AVOIDED THE SHOT AND HE IS THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHTS AT MINERVA!! THAT’S IT! TAKE THAT BITCH DOWN!
Rich Russillo: Rex is firing back with those left and right hands taking it to Minerva–
Persephone: THAT BITCH GOT HIM IN THE EYES! WHAT A CHEATER! GET HER REX! MAKE HER PAY!
James Peters: Minerva able to get the advantage back as she whips Rex to the ropes. Rex comes back and ducks the clothesline attempt by Minerva!
Rich Russillo: LOOK! REX FLOATS OVER AND HE JUST SPIKED MINERVA! REX EFFECT DDT PLANTS MINERVA ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD!
(Rex takes a look at Minerva down on the ground after being spiked with the DDT before backing up and leaving the ring.)
Persephone: THAT’S WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT! THIS IS A WAY TO START OFF A SHOW! JUST LET REX STAY OUT HERE AND DO THAT TO THE ENTIRE ROSTER!
Rich Russillo: Of course you would love that, but what a way to kick off Voltage! Rex leaves Minerva out cold in the middle of the ring! Will this be a sign of things to come when Rex and Minerva no doubt have that inevitable match?
James Peters: Oh this match is going to be good to say the least. When that match happens, these two are going to beat the hell out of each. But we will be right back with our opening contest here on Voltage.
(The final shot shows Rex walking up the entrance ramp while looking down at the ring and a still down Minerva as the camera fades to commercial.)
(Commercial for Bloodsport, where four Elitists face off with the EAW World Championship on the line.)
(Backstage, Eden Sinclair is seen in her office, going through her phone as she checks out some important messages being sent her way. Her attention shifts haphazardly from the screen to the door, however — a wide open door. Swung wildly, with a blur of blonde hair storming right in.)
???: EXCUSE ME?! I’m facing WHO?
(An exasperated and irate Sierra Everett comes into view, staring daggers right into the eyes of Eden Sinclair. The latter rolls back her chair slightly, already looking disgusted.)
Eden Sinclair: Are you serious? Do you people not know how to knock anymore?
Sierra Everett: Oh, I know how to, but a slimy snake like you doesn’t deserve that, let alone any ounce of respect from me.
(Eden rolled her eyes.)
Eden Sinclair: Oh, boy, here we go again—
Sierra Everett: Exactly! Here we go AGAIN because you want to be petty and find every way you can to knock me down! Reckless Wiring? Against Sienna Jade? And this is all happening because you decided to hit him up so that you could try and, what, teach me a lesson? Because I hurt your little, precious feelings because I told you straight up that you weren’t going to ruin my career?
(Sierra slams her hands down on the desk. Eden doesn’t flinch, though. If anything, she can’t help but to smirk, whereas it’s plain as day how heated Sierra is.)
Sierra Everett: Do you find this amusing?! Don’t look at me like that! This isn’t a game, Eden! Just what are you trying to do here?!
Eden Sinclair: What am I trying to do? Hasn’t it already been spelled out plainly for you? Do I seriously need to sit here and remind you of just how smug and arrogant you were towards me last week? In fact, just look at you right now, with how you just came waltzing into my office and thinking that you can talk to me anyway you see fit.
(Sierra knits her eyebrows, disdain pouring from every part of her.)
Sierra Everett: Well, maybe if you haven’t been trying to make my life a living hell for the past few months and continue trying to mess with me, then I wouldn’t be like this. You ought to show me some respect because I was ultimately the one who won at Pain for Pride. I threw a wrench into your plans, so at this rate, you should be the one who listens to me.
Eden Sinclair: Tch. Right. And you think that win is going to absolve you of me, let alone any consequences for your own actions and words? You’re delusional. Good on you to finally get that one “big” win — if we can even call it that — and make Ronan look more like a dumbass, but at the end of the day, Sierra, that doesn’t prove anything. It certainly doesn’t give you any power to come at me and think you aren’t going to be punished for going against me.
(Sierra gnaws at her bottom lip. Her nails dig into the wooden desk.)
Eden Sinclair: I’m going to make this very clear to you, since it seems like you need a reminder: I am your boss. You work underneath me. You have and never will be above me in any capacity, so I suggest you be careful and not speak above your role.
Sierra Everett: … Screw you. Seriously. You have been nothing but an absolute thorn in my side, and I don’t get it. You have continued to get in the way of my career time after time again, even when I was trying my best; even when Candice, Halsey and I tried our best, you just kept screwing with me all the time.
(Eden folds her arms, absolutely uncaring in her expression.)
Eden Sinclair: Oh, cry me a river. Maybe if you were actually competent then none of this would’ve happened. Ever thought of that? You three have embarrassed me, and yet you were the weakest link. You never cared about being the best back then. You were fine sipping your wine and being all lackadaisical whereas those other two at least tried to do something. Honestly, I don’t need to repeat myself about that whole fiasco. I never screwed you — you screwed yourself. And guess what? You’re doing it all over again right here, right now.
Sierra Everett: Oh, so I’m messing things up for myself now because I’m trying to make sure I turn my career around? Or how about the fact that I’m not going to be your freaking tool and let you walk all over me? Huh? Which is it? Because you know what I think, Eden?
(Sierra leans forward, being mere inches from Eden’s face.)
Sierra Everett: … you’re intimidated by me.
(Eden isn’t put off by the close distance between them. She howls out laughing.)
Eden Sinclair: Me? Intimidated by you?! Please, Sierra, I get that you’ve been having fun lying lately about you being this huge, upcoming star and all, but trust me, there is nothing threatening about you.
Sierra Everett: So why in the hell are you doing this to me? Why do you insist on continuing to try and sabotage my career?
Eden Sinclair: Because you had this coming. And now, you have no choice but to have this match. Besides, why do you feel so threatened by this whole thing? I mean, didn’t you say it yourself that you’re trying to be the best that you can be now? That you are focused about yourself and you have aspirations of having the ✨ EAW World Championship ✨? Then, how about you use this as not just a lesson, but a test as well?
(Eden snickers.)
Eden Sinclair: Like, you won at Pain for Pride! You got that win! And seeing as how you have high aspirations, then surely the literal ‘Crown Jewel’ can handle the ‘Greatest’! And a former world champion, at that. It’s only a match against a woman who entered her new peak within, like, a month since returning almost a year ago, so what’s the big deal? Are you… intimidated, Sierra?
(Eden raises a brow, cocky grin on ten. Sierra’s blood boils.)
Eden Sinclair: If so, then good. That should make you think twice about going against me ever again.
(Anger is threatening to race out. In her mind, Sierra wanted nothing more than to just reach over and really pay Eden back for everything. Bash her face on the desk, throw it over her — just do everything she possibly can to ruin her. It’s a tempting thought, and for a moment, Sierra considers it as Eden leans back, looking smug as ever. Seeing that look on her face though snaps her back to reality, and in that moment, she realized that Eden is trying to stir it up.)
(It nearly worked.)
(Taking a deep breath, Sierra pulls away from the desk, taking a few steps to gather herself. Then, she lets out a chuckle, placing her hands on her hips. The shift in demeanor puzzles Eden, causing her to arch a brow.)
Eden Sinclair: Now, what’s so funny?
Sierra Everett: This. All of this. You are trying to rile me up, getting me to second-guess myself, making me feel crazy… it’s the typical crap with you, Eden.
(Sierra pauses. Her laugh fades away. A more serious look takes over her as her gaze redirects back to Eden.)
Sierra Everett: I’m not happy about this. Not one bit. But you know what, I wasn’t happy about the circumstances of my match at Pain for Pride, and I ended up being the one with my hand raised. You can treat that win as if it means nothing, but to me? It means the whole world. It meant that I was capable of rising above all of the bullshit and showed to the whole world underneath the biggest and brightest light possible that Sierra Everett can shine. You tried to ruin me before, you tried to ruin us, but you failed. Backup plan after backup plan couldn’t work, and that night in Nashville revealed that you are nothing but an insecure, power-hungry bitch who will stop at nothing to keep me down, because out of the three of us? I am the most capable of ruining you.
(Eden’s face sours as her eyes narrow at Sierra. She parts her lips to speak, but she’s instantly cut off.)
Sierra Everett: It’s fine, though, Eden. I’ll have the match. I’ll face off against Sienna Jade at Reckless Wiring, and guess what? I’m going to win. I am going to once again have everything you’ve tried to concoct against me backfire in your face, and just like I did last month, I am going to be the one who gets the last laugh.
(A determined look graces the face of Sierra Everett as she starts to walk out of the office.)
Sierra Everett: I’m not intimidated. Not in the slightest.
(She goes through the door, closing it roughly behind her. Still in her seat, Eden stares back at the door. She processes everything that’s been said, even the look on Sierra. Even with the disrespect still prevalent though, Eden isn’t stressed. She simply shakes her head, chuckling.)
Eden Sinclair: Wow. Okay then. I guess we’ll wait and see, won’t we?
(On that note, Voltage faded down to the ringside area.)
(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
( ‘LIKE IT! LOVE IT!’ by Setsuna Yuki hits to cheers from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first from Okinawa, Japan weighing in at 115 pounds she is “The Amazing Girl” AYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU MEGUMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Ayu Megumi makes her way to the ring clearly frustrated still about the events of last week. She is focused and determined to make things go right this week instead. She doesn’t spend a whole ton of time on the stage, instead looking to make her way to the ring as soon as possible in preparation for her upcoming match.)
Rich Russillo: Ayu Megumi is all on her own this season and I for one am hyped to see what she is capable of as a solo competitor.
James Peters: Many people say that she can’t make it on her own here in EAW but I disagree and think she has a very bright future here on Voltage. We will find out here tonight!!!
(‘Good 4 u’ by Olivia Rodrigo hits to boos from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent from Huntington Beach, California weighing in at 135 pounds she is “The Inevitable Future” VALERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIEEEEEEEEE HELLLLLLLLLSTORMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!
(Valerie Hellstorm makes her way to the ring with a shit-eating grin on her face for unknown reasons. She is shown mocking overweight fans en route to the ring and snatches an Ayu sign from a fan tearing it up before entering the ring.)
Rich Russillo: A very classy display from Valerie Hellstorm. She is such a pompous arrogant person. These fans are sick of her and they hope that Ayu will do something about her attitude!
James Peters: Well she is a very talented wrestler in spite of all that I hate to admit it. But it would be nice to see Ayu put her in her place for sure.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: We are underway now as both competitors glare each other down in the ring. There is a measure of electricity and excitement here tonight on Voltage! There is always electricity on Voltage of course!
Persephone: :francis:
Rich Russillo: Anyway… the match is getting started! Ayu Megumi and Valerie Hellstorm suddenly lock up in the ring with intensity! Ayu manages to somehow push Valerie back up into the corner with all of her strength! But Valerie reverses at the last moment whipping around and throwing Ayu back first into the corner trapping her. Good move there on Valerie to make Ayu think she had the advantage before snatching it away at the last moment. But Ayu is caught up in the ropes now as the referee forces the break from Valerie.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! Break it up!
James Peters: Valerie Hellstorm breaks it up before taunting Ayu Megumi who looks enraged as she emerges from the corner. Ayu methodically locks up with Valerie in the middle of the ring. They are fighting for position here and we will see just where this goes… Valerie shoves Ayu away breaking things up and sending Ayu up against the ropes… but Ayu bounces off the ropes and headbutts Valerie hard right in the skull! Valerie staggers backwards as Ayu kicks her leg causing her to fall down to one knee. Ayu now unloading on Valerie with repeated right hands one after another beating down on her hard! Valerie falls backwards into the corner as Ayu continues to kick away at her gut pinning her down in the corner.
Persephone: Pinning? But then why isn’t the referee counting.
Rich Russillo: That’s…
James Peters: A comment to be ignored. :wow: But Valerie Hellstorm has fallen down in the corner and Ayu Megumi is stomping a mudhole in her and just won’t let up! Valerie flat on the ground now as she repeatedly takes Ayu’s boot right into her gut and chest! Ayu is going in and Ayu is going off as she finally takes a breather from stomping on Valerie and backs away into the ring. This allows Valerie a chance to pull herself up in the corner but Ayu just takes that as a signal to move right back in and do even more damage! But Valerie expected it and kicks Ayu hard in the knee! Valerie follows it up with some well placed strikes to the skull! And a hard knee strike right to the gut of Ayu nearly knocking her over with the immense force. Ayu falls backwards into the corner but Valerie whips her across to the opposite side of the ring!-
Rich Russillo: BUT AYU MEGUMI IMMEDIATELY BURSTS OUT OF THE CORNER WITH A RUNNING LARIAT!!!! LARIATOOOOOO!!!!
James Peters: Valerie Hellstorm is taken off her feet from that Clothesline and sent backflipping across the ring from the insane force! Valerie is stunned and dazed and doesn’t seem to know where she is as she sits up on the ring mat. Valerie pulls herself back up staggering up against the ropes as Ayu goes in! Ayu runs across the ring with a full speed Clothesline sending Valerie flying over the top to the outside! Valerie lands on her feet but the momentum sends her flying back first right into our commentary desk! Ayu now playing to the crowd in the ring who are all fired up! But Ayu is not finished just yet!
Rich Russillo: Ayu Megumi rolls to the outside of the ring and grabs the skull of Valerie Hellstorm! Ayu bashes Valerie’s skull off the commentary table desk continuing to do damage here on the outside as the referee begins the ten count.
Referee: ONE! TWO!
Rich Russillo: But Ayu is not letting up as she shoves Valerie up against the barricade back first. Ayu charges in again at full speed yet again!!! CLOTHESLINE OVER THE BARRICADE! Valerie is sent flipping off into the crowd and it looks like this match might just be about to spill outside of the ringside area!
Referee: THREE! FOUR!
Rich Russillo: Ayu now climbing the barricade herself to attack Valerie on the concrete arena floor! Valerie eating punches and this has just turned into a straight up mugging out here!
Referee: FIVE! SIX!
James Peters: Ayu seems to be noticing the referee’s ten count now as she shoves Valerie up against the barricade before tossing her back over into the ringside area. Valerie crawling desperately to get away from Ayu who grabs her by the hair and rams her head first into the steel ring steps!
Referee: SEVEN! EIGHT!
James Peters: Ayu Megumi smartly shoves Valerie Hellstorm back into the ring before making it in herself to beat the count and put an end to it.
Persephone: What? It ended at eight? You mean she didn’t wait until it was a millisecond away from ten before getting back in the ring? At least give me hope that the match is about to end…
James Peters: Well the match is clearly not about to end as Ayu Megumi is in control here and takes out Valerie Hellstorm with a series of well placed stomps on the floor. Ayu grabs the arm of Valerie and twists her around into a tight armbar. Ayu eventually lets go and connects with a big knee drop across the arm of Valerie possibly targeting in. Ayu into the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEE!!!!!!-
Rich Russillo: Hard kickout there from Valerie Hellstorm! Valerie clearly has more in the tank still in this match despite the assault from Ayu Megumi here tonight so far. Ayu goes after Valerie who appears to be trying to make her way outside the ring under the bottom rope. That didn’t go so well for her last time and it doesn’t look to be changing this time either. Hard stomp right to the lower spine of Valerie from Ayu stops her right in her tracks! Ayu drags Valerie back into the middle of the ring and looks to be measuring her for impact!!!
James Peters: AYU MEGUMI CHARGES IN AND KNEES THE HEAD RIGHT OFF VALERIE HELLSTORM’S OWN BODY!!!!—
Rich Russillo: No! Valerie moves out of the way at the last minute! Ayu crashes into the corner face first! She missed wildly! Now Valerie looking to take advantage! Valerie chop blocks the legs from underneath Ayu who falls under the bottom rope. Valerie grabs the legs of Ayu and slings her upwards neck first into the bottom rope! Valerie turning the momentum hard in her favor as she goes for the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!-
James Peters: But Ayu Megumi with a quick kickout! Valerie Hellstorm staying on Ayu as she gets back up. Slams her head first into the ring post. Ayu falls out of the corner and eats a Belly to Belly Suplex from Valerie! Valerie not even going for the cover instead she Irish Whips Ayu hard across the ring causing her to bounce off the turnbuckle and crash to the ground. Ayu rolls out of the ring but Valerie in pursuit after her. Valerie shoves Ayu hard into the metal pole! But Ayu gets her hands up to stop her! Ayu turns around and kicks Valerie hard in the gut! Ayu whips Valerie across the ringside area!!! No! Valerie reverses it and sends Ayu flying shoulder first into the steel steps! Ayu crashes and burns as Valerie rolls back into the ring!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN!
Rich Russillo: But Ayu Megumi makes it back into the ring just in time to break the count!
Persephone: Three remaining seconds isn’t “just in time”. That’s not nearly close enough Rich.
Rich Russillo: Well it was just in time for Valerie Hellstorm to continue her assault as she stops away furiously at Ayu Megumi just as she gets back into the ring! She might have wished she had taken that countout instead!
Persephone: I also wish that. :mjgrin:
Rich Russillo: Well it didn’t happen and Valerie Hellstorm has lost control and is now mounting on top of Ayu Megumi and just unloading with repeated strikes to the head. It looks like a bit of blood is forming around the eyelid of Ayu as Valerie goes in for the cover!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOO-
James Peters: Kickout from Ayu Megumi! Valerie Hellstorm is visibly frustrated as she pulls Ayu back up. She grabs the arm… and yanks Ayu right into a Clothesline! Valerie then drops a knee across the face of Ayu. Valerie going to continue to deliver damage until Ayu is down for the count! Valerie climbs onto the back of Ayu and has a Camel Clutch applied! No! She can’t quite get it in all the way as Ayu is struggling back up to her feet and knocks Valerie off her back! But Valerie catches Ayu as she turns around with a hard kick to the leg. Valerie grabs Ayu before she can escape and pulls her up… Picture perfect Suplex from Valerie connects on Ayu! Yet another cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOO-
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm just can’t seem to put Ayu Megumi away regardless of what she tries to do. She might have to really step it up beyond some of these basic maneuvers she is applying. Valerie looks like she is thinking this as she makes her way to the top rope! This is a big risk but could it pay off?!?! Ayu slowly returning to her feet as Valerie measures her and is in position for it… VALERIE LEAPS OFF THE TOP WITH A FLYING CROSSBODY—
James Peters: But Ayu Megumi reverses it! Ayu catches Valerie falling back reversing the Crossbody into a pinning combination! The cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOO-
Rich Russillo: But Valerie Hellstorm powers out with authority! Ayu Megumi nearly stole one right then and there! Both competitors look to be in a bit of pain here as Ayu might have tweaked her arm on the catch there. Valerie rolls out to the apron and pulls herself up as Ayu approaches. Ayu yanks Valerie in between the middle ropes and pulls her down… DDT from the middle rope connects! No wait! Valerie fell off the middle ropes and grabbed Ayu! Valerie tosses Ayu over the top rope to the outside! Ayu smashes up against the apron bouncing off the hardest part of the ring and crashing to the floor!
James Peters: Smart move by Valerie Hellstorm as she sits in the ring catching a bit of a breather as Ayu Megumi recovers on the floor. But Valerie isn’t going to wait long as she makes her way to the outside of the ring. Valerie connects with a running Punt Kick to the chest of Ayu kicking her across the floor!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Persephone: TEN!
James Peters: And Valerie Hellstorm picks up Ayu Megumi and throws her back into the ring to go in for another cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-
Rich Russillo: Close fall there but Ayu Megumi gets the shoulder up! The match continues on and on! Valerie Hellstorm has to be wondering what it is going to take to put Ayu away. Ayu slowly back up as Valerie is measuring her. Possibly intending to go in for yet another Pump Kick! This could be it if Valerie connects! Ayu pulls herself up but Valerie has other plans in mind! Valerie runs off the ropes… she takes Ayu’s head clean off with a Clothesline from Hell!!! Ayu absolutely floored there by the impact from Valerie! Valerie is staying on her opponent with yet another cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-
James Peters: Ayu Megumi kicks out again! And now Valerie Hellstorm it can be seen that the frustration is really setting in for her! She is raging fiercely! Valerie pounds the mat in frustration gritting her teeth as she begins to pound away at the chest of Ayu repeatedly just trying to knock all the wind and life out of her as quickly as possible. But Ayu with the will to survive! Ayu kicks backwards towards Valerie’s face knocking her back. But Valerie quickly applies a Sleeper Hold… but Ayu is struggling and writhing out of it! But Valerie repositions herself on top of Ayu crushing her down to the mat! But Ayu slithers out from beneath and pulls herself up. Valerie wretches the arm in an attempt to maintain control but Ayu punches with the other arm and manages to break free! But a Drop Toe Hold out of nowhere from Valerie sends Ayu neck first across the middle rope!
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm runs across the ring and hits a leaping Splash to the back of Ayu Megumi crushing her neck up against the middle ropes. Valerie then grabs Ayu yanking her off the ropes and back up into the ring. Valerie has Ayu from under the neck… Possibly looking for a Reverse DDT here to put an end to Ayu once and for all! REVERSE DDT CONNECTS!!! VALERIE GOT ALL OF IT AS SHE SLIDES INTO THE COVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Wow that was really close! But the match presses on!
Persephone: We all must press on it seems. As hard as it may be. :mjcry:
Rich Russillo: What an intensely fought back and forth between these two wrestlers. Valerie Hellstorm with a look of rage on her face as she goes to grab Ayu Megumi in the corner. But Ayu holds onto the ropes and uses them to kick upwards catching Valerie in the jaw! Valerie turns around staggering but Ayu with a running Double Axe Handle knocking Valerie off her feet! Valerie just got rocked! Valerie reeling in surprise as she is back up… Ayu hits her with a Superkick sending her staggering backwards! Valerie back up as Ayu begins to build momentum with repeated shots into the corner. Ayu whips Valerie across the ring… No! The reversal! But Ayu comes back off the ropes and leaps up into Valerie’s arms before twisting around and tossing her across the ring with a Headscissors Takedown into an Armbar! But Valerie flips out of the armbar! Both competitors back up as Ayu leaps towards her and rolls her up with a School Girl takedown!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Valerie Hellstorm manages to kick out of it! Both competitors back up as Ayu Megumi throws punches at Valerie! But Valerie fighting back! Both of them trading punches now! Ayu! Valerie! Ayu! Valerie! Ayu! Ayu! Ayu! It looks like Ayu is gaining momentum here and she has rocked Valerie back up against the ropes and has her reeling! Valerie falls backwards as Ayu lifts her up and slams Valerie with force in the middle of the ring!
Crowd: AYU! AYU! AYU!
Rich Russillo: Ayu Megumi getting the crowd behind her here as she stalks Valerie Hellstorm waiting for her to get back up! Ayu looking prepared to end it all right here! She’s going for it!!!
James Peters: ETHEREAL BLADE!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO! Valerie Hellstorm moved out of the way! Valerie grabs Ayu Megumi from behind and rolls her up!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Wait! Valerie Hellstorm has the tights!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE–
James Peters: Not this way!!!
Referee: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… VALERRRRRRRRRRRIE HELLLLLLLSTORMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
(The fans immediately begin booing loudly as Valerie jumps up to her feet, a huge grin on her face after what she just did. Ayu Megumi returns to her feet as well, and she’s in disbelief as she stares at Valerie.)
James Peters: Oh come on, not lole-
Rich Russillo: WAIT WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!
James Peters: AYU MEGUMI IS NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS INJUSTICE LYING DOWN! SHE JUMPS VALERIE HELLSTORM AS SOON AS THE MATCH IS OVER AND IS ASSAULTING HER! AYU IS PUNCHING AWAY AT VALERIE, AND I DON’T THINK ANYONE CAN BLAME AYU FOR THE WAY SHE’S ACTING TONIGHT!
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm committed highway robbery and Ayu Megumi is sick of this shit! She had to put up with Valerie’s antics last week too!
James Peters: AYU CONTINUES TO PUNCH AWAY AT VALERIE – BUT WAIT A SECOND!!! VALERIE GRABS ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE, PULLING HERSELF OUT OF THE RING AND FREEING HERSELF FROM AYU!!!
(Valerie Hellstorm is shown evading Ayu Megumi’s relentless attack as she slips out of the ring and makes her way up the ramp. Ayu is shown continuing to seethe in the ring as Valerie’s music plays.)
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm celebrating this “win” I guess. The only thing she did tonight was pull the wool over Ayu’s eyes!
James Peters: A very shameful end to what was a good match up until the ending. You hate to see it end in this way. But Valerie managed to steal out a win here on Voltage!
(The camera cuts to a commercial for Pizza Hut featuring Limmy Monaghan.)
( Sunday Night Voltage fades back into the arena as ‘Imma Be’ by the Black Eyed Peas begin to blast the P.A System! Bea Valentine emerges from the curtains, as she is assorted with boos from the EAW crowd here in Manchester, New Hampshire. She looks to be quite joyful following last week’s Voltage as she makes her way to the ring, oozing annoyance coming from her. )
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME… ‘QUEEN BEA’ BEA VALENTINEEEE!!!!
James Peters: It was a pretty eventful week all things considered for Bea Valentine. She had gone to war with Roberto De La Rosa, the current holder of the 24/7 Contract and defeated him in the middle of that ring!
Rich Russillo: Bea gotta thank Mei Sasaki for the assistance, distracting Roberto like that allowed her to get the roll-up victory against El Padrastro. The way she got the victory might make others, including some of these fans here tonight, questioning whether that win should be a legitimate one for Bea.
James Peters: There’s definitely an argument there, but a win a win I guess, and I already know Bea is going to let us and the world know about it.
Persephone: Do we really gotta hear her speak tonight? There’s a lot of things I’d rather hear or be doing tonight and all of them involve Rexy poo. I’m just glad none of you made any of those ‘BEA’ jokes like you were spewing off last week.
James Peters: Gosh Persephone, you are un-BEA-lievable!
Persephone: 😐
Rich Russillo: :mjlol:
( Bea continues her walk to the ring as she looks around the audience that are booing her here tonight. She walks up the stairs, and enters into the ring. She asks for a microphone from the ringside official as ‘Imma Be’ by the Black Eyed Peas begins to fade out. Bea with a microphone in her hand lets the crowd continue their booing for several seconds before she starts to speak. )
Bea Valentine: Guess who won last week? Any guesses? You! Right there in the crowd! Do you know who won their match last week? IT WAS ME!!! ME BEA VALENTINE! I BEAT THE ALLEGATIONS, THE CONSPIRACY, I WON AGAINST MR. 24/7! ME! ME! ME!
( The crowd continues to boo Bea as she looks joyful at her big win against Roberto De La Rosa last week. She continues to speak… )
Bea Valentine: I mean what a way to start the new season right? I got the better of the man who won an entire battle royal, and now has a one way ticket to a championship match of his choosing… I beat that man! Who knows, after doing such an incredible accomplishment like that, I feel like I’m deserving of an opportunity. I have been on the grind, and the grind, until now, where that grind had to lead to a major victory against Roberto. The odds were stacked against me, and I fought through that adversity. “Queen Bea” has finally broken out, and my wings are ready to soar baby! So Captain Charisma, I demand you grant me an opportunity of any kind. I have very well EARNED it!
( Before Bea could say anything else, ‘Good 4 u’ by Olivia Rodrigo would begin to play as none other than Valerie Hellstorm limped onto the stage again to more boos from the crowd here in Manchester, New Hampshire. Even after being attacked by Ayu Megumi for the way she obtained victory, Valerie still has a look of arrogance on her face. )
Rich Russillo: Well this is interesting, Valerie Hellstorm is making her way to the ring and looks to have some words of her own.
James Peters: Judging from the crowd here tonight, I don’t think they want to hear from Valerie either, especially coming off interrupting Ayu Megumi’s interview last week and the cheap victory she picked up earlier tonight.
Persephone: We literally just saw this bitch, why are we seeing her again? UGHHHHHHHHHHH.
( Valerie Hellstorm slowly makes her way to the ring, as Bea Valentine has a confused look on her face. She already has a microphone in her hand as her music fades out. Valerie begins to speak. )
Valerie Hellstorm: If we want to talk about deserving opportunities, you’re looking at someone who deserves those right now. The Inevitable Future is here in your presence again and like I said, if opportunities are calling, my name is the first on the list.
(Valerie slides herself into the ring, still holding the microphone as she continues speaking… )
Valerie Hellstorm: My match with Korey Gaines last week was such an absolute mauling. I mean it was a dominant victory in my books, and If you’re already seeing me make easy work of guys like Korey Gaines, how much more vicious will I be if there’s a title up for grabs, and a special opportunity for me to obtain, an actual opportunity then facing someone like Korey Gains. All would be right in the world, society would be living large if I was rewarded with my great efforts!
( Valerie fans herself almost as if she can’t handle how hot the streak she’s on is. )
Valerie Hellstorm: But now, I can understand that Korey is Korey, so let’s roll it back to like 15 minutes ago! Did you see how amazing my win over Ayu Megu-
(Bea looks annoyed for Valerie stealing her spotlight as she interrupts saying… )
Bea Valentine: ummmmmmm… HELLO? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE VALERIE?? Why are you interrupting, and taking time from me? This was just supposed to be about me celebrating my victory and yet here you are hogging away my TV minutes just to spread your own agenda??? Get to the back of line Val, opportunities should be knocking on MY door, not yours!
Valerie Hellstorm: I can interrupt you whenever I want, I can interrupt anyone for that matter because I’m THAT bitch and everyone in this arena knows that. All you have beside your win against Roberto is how many times you want to spew those stupid ‘Bea” puns. Your opportunity is just to stay afloat and not get lost in the water. My opportunity should be worth more than just wrestling against Korey Gaines.
Bea Valentine: Not everything is about you Valerie, not everything should be concerning you. If anything this was my time and my time only. God I hope your pillow is extra warm when you go to sle-
( The arguing between these two wouldn’t last long as outcomes Captain Charisma as he holds a microphone in his hands. )
Persephone: Oh thank Captain Charisma is here, end the suffering now!!
( Captain Charisma is seen wearing a suit, looking dapper as ever as he begins to speak into the microphone addressing not only the fans, but also Valerie and Bea. He’s standing on the stage as he begins to chuckle saying… )
Captain Charisma: You ladies crack me up that’s for sure. The delusion coming from the both of you is quite hilarious, neither had gotten actual legitimate wins last week. Bea you won your match against Roberto through a Mei Sasaki distraction, and you rolled him up for the win. While you Valerie, used the referee as the shield and you low-blowed Korey Gaines to get that win, not to mention what you pulled with Ayu :francis:. Regardless though, I know how the start can be with everyone wanting an opportunity to prove to yourselves and the people that watch our shows each and every week. I know you two aren’t the only ones that want a special opportunity, as I’m sure a plethora of the men and women we have on Voltage are looking for the same thing. Which is why at our next marquee event for the Voltage brand, Bloodsport; we will be holding a… UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY MATCH!
(The crowd cheered at this announcement as both Valerie Hellstorm and Bea Valentine looked intrigued from that announcement. Captain Charisma continues to speak. )
Captain Charisma: Valerie, Bea, since you both were in this ring wanting this opportunity so badly, you both can take part in this match at Bloodsport. Overtime, more and more Voltage Elitists will be added to this match as you all will fight for an opportunity that’ll be revealed to the winner afterwards. Are you both fine with that?
( Both Bea and Valrie look at each other in agreement as they say to Captain Charisma… )
Valerie Hellstorm: Sounds fine by me.
Bea Valentine: No complaints here.
Captain Charisma: That’s good to hear… though I should warn you two about something. This match up you’ll be participating in isn’t just going to some normal matchup. No no no, it’s going to be an… EXPLODING BARBED WIRE LADDER MATCH! Hope you both are mentally ready enough for Bloodsport because trust me, you’re really going to need it.
( The crowd pops at the mention of an Exploding Barbed Wire Ladder Match as both Valerie and Bea have concerned looks on their faces as Captain Charisma exist the stage. )
Rich Russillo: Wow! What an announcement by Captain Charisma! An Exploding Barbed Wire Ladder match for a Unique Opportunity. I guess both Valerie and Bea both got exactly what they wanted. Wouldn’t you say James?
James Peters: Certainly Rich, both of these ladies wanted that opportunity and if they want that chance, they’ll have to go to exploding barbed wire ladders in order to do that. Should be interesting who else joins the field for this match.
Persephone: Hope either one of them gets Barbed Wire stuck on their throat so we wouldn’t hear them cry for chances again.
( The last would see both Valerie and Bea leave the ring and head towards the stage as Sunday Night Voltage fades elsewhere. )
(The camera cuts to the backstage area where a camera is shown moving quickly through the hallways to catch up with someone. Eventually the cameraman does as Roberto, Javier, and Diego De La Rosa are shown throwing doors open at random looking for someone.)
Roberto De La Rosa: Nah primo that is just a janitor’s closet. She isn’t in there. Keep up the search though we will go through this entire arena if we have to! Find her! ¡Ahora y rápido!
(Roberto, Javier, and Diego are shown continuing to make their way through the arena looking for someone. Emeralda is not present as they are furiously looking for this person and clearly don’t have good intentions for when they do.)
Javier De La Rosa: Estoy muy cansado Roberto. Por favor can we take a break? We have already searched like half the arena and haven’t been able to find her.
Roberto De La Rosa: I am sure she is hiding from us like the cowardly little rata that she is. But we will find her eventually!
(Roberto De La Rosa throws open a door startling an office worker who nearly falls out of their chair in surprise at seeing them barge into their cubicle.)
Roberto De La Rosa: MEI! COME ON OUT MEI! MEI SASAKI! I KNOW YOU ARE HERE SOMEWHERE PUTA!!!
(Roberto De La Rosa slams the door shut to continue looking elsewhere. Eventually they take a staircase and begin searching another floor of the arena.)
Diego De La Rosa: We already searched the entire women’s locker room. We are probably going to get a sexual harassment lawsuit because of that carnal. Maybe we should just give up before you get yourself fired? I am pretty sure that Kensingten isn’t going to let you on Dynasty if you get sacked from here.
Roberto De La Rosa: Absolutely not. We won’t stop until we get that revenge in. Don’t you remember what Mei did last week? This is supposed to be the season of La Familia here on Voltage. But Mei decided to slide all up in my match with Bea Valentine. Getting herself involved. Now you know what? I am going to get myself involved with her. Physically that is.
Javier De La Rosa: Roberto tiene razón. What she did can’t go unanswered. We have to send a message.
Roberto De La Rosa: Si claro. I don’t really care about the consequences. I am pissed off. I am furious. I am enraged. I want to kill that stupid bitch. So we are going to find her and we are going to slit her pathetic little thro-
(Suddenly Roberto, Javier, and Diego De La Rosa turn around a corner and find Mei Sasaki standing there looking at her phone. She is seen laughing as she is replaying footage of what happened last week clearly taking a lot of joy in what happened.)
Roberto De La Rosa: There you are! I have been looking all over the place for you. It is time that you answer for what you did!
Mei Sasaki: ??? You seem mad or something? What is wrong with you?
Roberto De La Rosa: What is wrong with me??? I should slap the shit out of you. Don’t you remember what happened last week or do you not watch the show? Well I guess you wouldn’t even need to watch the show to remember what you did last week. So even then there is no excuse.
Mei Sasaki: Oh right. You still haven’t gotten over that?
Roberto De La Rosa: You cost me my match! Perdí la pelea por tu culpa! I am sick of your shit. It is time that we settle this.
Mei Sasaki: Okay? What do you even want then? Are you just going to stand there and yell at me? I really have better things to do. I should be practicing my wrestling skills or something. Unless you are thinking of actually doing something about it?
Roberto De La Rosa: Primero… you need to learn to mind your business and leave me alone.
Mei Sasaki: Okay. Okay. I’m listening.
(Mei Sasaki finally puts her phone away and adopts a serious expression as she finally begins to pay attention to the verbal assault from Roberto De La Rosa.)
Mei Sasaki: You really need to chill out. Why so angry? It is what it is. What happened last week is very simple. I just wanted a match. And let’s not forget who is the one who disrespected me in the first place. It was you in case you don’t watch the show. I don’t take kindly to being disrespected in that manner.
Roberto De La Rosa: …
Mei Sasaki: All I wanted was an opportunity to prove myself as a singles competitor. This is a brand new Voltage season. In the past people haven’t taken me seriously unless I am part of some group or whatever. But that isn’t right and this year we are going to fix that. It is time that Voltage recognizes Mei Sasaki as a fierce competitor all on her own. Last week you brushed me off. I had to teach you a lesson. You had to learn the hard way. You had to learn that I’m not just going to sit around and let you brush me off the way you did last week.
Roberto De La Rosa: Oh so you think what you did was completely justified because you felt a little bit disrespected? You felt a bit sorry for yourself huh? So you just decided to hop all on up in my wrestling match and ruin it for me?
Mei Sasaki: That’s exactly right and if you can’t handle the consequences? Maybe you should think about adjusting your behavior in the future. Because I assure you, costing you a little match against Bea Valentine is just the least of what I am capable of if you decide to make me your enemy.
Roberto De La Rosa: Fine. You did this all because you want a match with me? You want to prove yourself as a single’s competitor? Fine then. You can have your match with me chica. You and me. At Bloodsport.
Mei Sasaki: What? Not tonight? Damn I didn’t think you were the cowardly type.
Roberto De La Rosa: You should be grateful that I am even considering this at all. No. We aren’t going to just settle this tonight. We are going to give you the ultimate opportunity to prove yourself as a single’s competitor… or more likely fail to prove yourself. So I will give you until Bloodsport to get it all figured out. Prove that you can hang with the 24/7 Battle Royal winner because the way you are right now. I don’t think you will put up much of a fight against me. But if you have some time, get your training in, eat your vitamins. Then maybe you will be able to last a few minutes in the ring up against me.
Mei Sasaki: Wow and you are really surprised that I cost you a match? Talk about clueless…
Roberto De La Rosa: You have your match. But I will tell you one more thing. You are going to regret it. You are going to wish that you just turned the other cheek and walked away. Because you are dealing with a whole different level of competition. Didn’t you see what I pulled off at Pain for Pride? What only I was capable of doing despite all of the other competition in that match? As the 24/7 Battle Royal winner I am the future of this company and this match with you? That will just be one more stepping stone in my path as I go on to greatness and nobody will remember you just like nobody will remember what Bea Valentine managed to “achieve” because of you. You are going to regret asking this of me. Chupa mi ve-
(Suddenly Mei Sasaki kicks up at high speed with her leg catching Roberto De La Rosa between the legs. He yells out in pain before collapsing on the floor grabbing his groin in pain screaming. Javier and Diego rush to his side checking on him as Mei Sasaki is shown looking down and smirking. She shrugs as she begins to walk away and pulls out her phone again. She pulls up the video again from last week and begins to laugh as she walks away.)
Mei Sasaki: Yeah. Okay. Whatever you say chico.
(Roberto De La Rosa is shown struggling to get back up in pain as Javier and Diego help him to his feet.)
Roberto De La Rosa: ¡VOY A MATAR A ESA PUTA ENTROMETIDA!
(Javier and Diego begin to go after Mei Sasaki who looks up at them before putting her phone away.)
Mei Sasaki: Aww come on guys. You wouldn’t think of laying a hand on poor little old me?
(Mei Sasaki blows a kiss at Javier and Diego De La Rosa who appear to be stunned.)
Javier & Diego: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d3/30/03/d33003d2e19179c1e7aeda2182a11b81.gif
(Javier and Diego appear to be mesmerized and frozen in place by the beauty of Mei Sasaki as she walks off leaving them where they stand. Roberto is shown getting back up still raging with anger as the camera fades to black.)
(The camera cuts to a commercial for Wrestleworld featuring World Champion Nick Hart.)
(Voltage returns to ringside, where Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: The following match is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Aerials’ by System of a Down hits, and the fans begin booing as Mr. Wrestling XIX walks out to the stage. He already has gained a reputation for himself in EAW and didn’t help matters last week, but he doesn’t seem to care much about how the fans feel as he begins walking to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first from Nashville, Tennessee weighing in at 233 pounds he is “The Lord of the Ring” MR. WRESTLING XIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Mr. Wrestling XIX makes his way down the ramp looking very confident and focused)
James Peters: These two went back and forth a lot this week on the mic and A lot of things were obviously said. Tonight though we see who backs it up in the ring.
(Mr. Wrestling XIX gets in the ring and leans on the turnbuckle waiting for his opponent to get down to business as ‘The World Is Mine’ by Miley Rykus begins to play)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT!… FROM OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA!…. WEIGHING IN AT 170 POUNDS!… ‘THE EXTREME’ !!!!!!!!…. KOREYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY… GAINESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
Persephone: I really don’t understand why we don’t fire this guy. I mean has he won a match like ever?
Rich Russillo: Hey come on Persephone you gotta be nicer than that I’m sure Korey can win this one.
Persephone: Hey, I doubt it!
(Korey Gaines makes his way down the ramp and Into the ring looking very confident and ready himself. He looks at Mr. Wrestling and shares a few words with him that can’t be picked up by the mic, which isn’t a surprise thanks to their heated back and forth. He then gets in his respective corner waiting for the to ring)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: And the match is underway as it begins with a lock up between the two competitors. This isn’t really Korey Gaines type of game and Mr.Wrestling XIX knows that and will likely use it against him the whole match. I’m sure he looks to make it a quick and easy win.
Persephone: Only one can hope 🙄.
James Peters: With that being said Mr. Wrestling XIX quickly transitions into a side headlock maneuver taunting the crowd and with some words for Korey. However Korey isn’t no rookie either he backs Mr. Wrestling XIX up into the ropes trying to get loose but as they both rebound off the ropes Mr. Wrestling XIX quickly takes a knee to keep the pressure of that side headlock in.
Rich Russillo: Mr.Wrestling XIX clearly enjoying himself here, I’m sure he’d love for nothing more but to defeat Korey considering he’s everything he hates when it comes to in ring style, however his joy quickly turns to pain as Korey starts to land a few elbows to the rib area finally getting loose off of the side headlock. He wastes no time running and rebounding off the ropes and landing a mean discus lariat onto Mr. Wrestling XIX!
Persephone: Somehow the old fart gets out of harm’s way.
James Peters: That he does and as Korey turns around Mr.Wrestling XIX pulls him and connects with a beautiful overhead Belly to Belly suplex. Mr. Wrestling XIX doesn’t give Korey any room to breathe though as he stands above him and delivers huge stomps to the rib while shouting at him.
Mr. Wrestling XIX: (off-mic) People like you have ruined wrestling and I’m going to make an example out of you!
Rich Russillo: He grabs Korey by his hair and strongly pushes him into the turnbuckle while letting go with some knife edged chops directly to the chest of Korey Gaines. He then backs up all the into the other side turnbuckle preparing to run straight at him…
James Peters: WAIT A MINUTE! Mr. Wrestling XIX is met with a beautiful hurricanrana that now sends him into the turnbuckle! He quickly gets out of there leaning onto the ropes but let’s not forget how quick Korey is guys. He then meets him with a lariat that sends Mr. Wrestling XIX to the outside of the ring. Korey not letting up as he runs, rebounds off the ropes on the other side and…
Rich Russillo: HUGE CORKSCREW PLANCHA OVER THE TOP! What a beautiful maneuver but you know Mr. Wrestling XIX can’t be happy that it even connected.
Persephone: I’ll only be happy if somehow it knocked them both out so we see my hunk of a man Rex compete faster.
James Peters: Korey Gaines grabs Mr. Wrestling XIX by the back of his neck and throws him right back into the ring, looking for some more high risk maneuvers as he gets on the apron climbing to the top turnbuckle, waiting for Mr. Wrestling XIX to get back up to his feet. Mr. Wrestling XIX does return back to his feet though but quickly ends back up on one knee. It appears to piss off Korey a little bit forcing him to get off the top of the turnbuckle and trying a more grounded attack.
Rich Russillo: That’s exactly what Mr. Wrestling XIX wanted though! He was playing possum as he delivers a mean elbow to the rib area of Korey Gaines! Which leads to a harsh European uppercut as he scoops him up and connects with a beautiful sidewalk slam right into the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOO!
Persephone: Sadly Korey gets the shoulder up and this match continues. I don’t know if I’ve said this before but I hate this place.
James Peters: Mr. Wrestling XIX with the veteran mindset though to not let go of the momentum he has scooping up Korey by the back of his neck and Irish whips Korey into the ropes, however Korey uses that momentum to springboard off the middle rope and-
Rich Russillo: AND BEING CAUGHT IN MID AIR WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! Right into the cover yet again!
Referee: ONEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOO!!
Persephone: Oh my god why won’t he just stay down and let this match be over with?!
James Peters: I’m sure Mr. Wrestling XIX agrees with you on that statement as he becomes visibly annoyed. He grabs Korey by his hair trying to tell him to stay down but Korey says no and responds with a beautiful left hook and a right and another left until Mr. Wrestling is forced to let go; Korey then gives Mr. Wrestling XIX a European uppercut of his own that sends him back a little bit. Korey is now on the attack though not letting up and he delivers a huge roundhouse kick that knocks Mr. Wrestling XIX down to a knee as he refuses to lay down. Korey gives him no other choice though as he uses the knee of his own opponent to jump off of and lands a beautiful enzuigiri!
Rich Russillo: Korey showing some heart now as he drags Mr.Wrestling a little bit towards the middle of the ring and no surprise here he’s got his target set on the top of the turnbuckle. Not many as creative as he is up there and he plans to take advantage of that. He gets up there turning his back onto Mr. Wrestling XIX to get to his feet again, he does and…
James Peters: A Moonsault off the top turnbuckle! He gets caught though! Mr. Wrestling XIX catches him in mid air but Korey again using his agility to get out of it and twists and turns around into a beautiful ddt! He now goes for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOO!
Rich Russillo: It’s going to take more than that though to put down the 42 year old veteran! Korey quickly back on the attack stomping at the ribs of Mr.Wrestling XIX. You can see it in his eyes he’s still scheming on what to do next exactly. He steps back a little bit… RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS!
James Peters: And it connects beautifully, what a maneuver by Korey, he quickly gets back to his feet though running and spring boarding off the ropes now connecting with a lionsault! Now with the quick cover!
Referee: ONEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOO!
Persephone: 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Rich Russillo: Again Mr. Wrestling XIX gets the shoulder up and Korey is starting to get frustrated. He quickly gets back up his feet and gets to the corner, stalking his opponent. I wonder what he’s planning here next as Mr.Wrestling XIX is finally getting up. He runs right at him… FROGGY FOOTSTOMP!
Persephone: Mr. Wrestling XIX quickly gets out the way. Poor Korey he might’ve tweaked his knees on that landing but hopefully that means this match is close to ending now.
James Peters: Korey who’s too busy nursing his knee turns around straight into a running knee strike from Mr.Wrestling XIX which staggers him to a kneeling position. Mr.Wrestling XIX proceeds to back up yet again… SUPERKICK!
Rich Russillo: KOREY QUICKLY GETS OUT THE WAY THOUGH! HE BEGINS KICKING AT THE LEGS OF MR.WRESTLING XIX UNTIL HE’S DROPPED TO A KNEE SETTING UP FOR KICK,KICK, KICK,SUPERKICK PARTY! HES SETTING UP THE FINAL BLOW-
James Peters: BUT THE PARTY ENDS BEFORE IT EVEN BEGAN CAUSE MR.WRESTLING XIX GETS OUT OF DODGE AS HE QUICKLY DUCKED. KOREY SWINGS AND MISSES BUT HE TURNS AROUND INTO A SUPER KICK AND THIS ONE CONNECTS! THE QUICK COVER!
Referee: ONEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: THRE-
Persephone: Will this match ever end?! 😩
Rich Russillo: Mr.Wrestling is visibly becoming frustrated now thinking that would’ve been the move to finish the match. Korey is still down though as he goes towards his legs and if he goes for what I’m thinking he’s going for this could very well be the end right here.
James Peters: I think that’s what he’s doing Rich, Mr.Wrestling is looking to apply the ankle lock here and he does! The Ankle Lock is locked in and Korey is struggling to get out of this one. Mr.Wrestling XIX got that ankle up and corked while Korey is fighting for his life, scratching trying to get to that bottom rope but Mr.Wrestling is too strong…
Rich Russillo: Look at this though Korey gets up on that one leg he has free literally hopping on one leg, he uses whatever strength he has left to flip himself over and the momentum of that sends Mr.Wrestling XIX between the middle rope onto the apron!
Persephone: I can’t deal with this stress, I just wanna see my Sexy Rexy 😩.
James Peters: Relax Dr.Seuss this is a great match. Anyways. Korey who’s gonna have to continue hopping on that one leg due to him tweaking his knee earlier, now the effects of that Ankle Lock is slowly but surely making his way to Mr.Wrestling XIX right now. Delivering some forearm shots right to the temple of Mr. Wrestling XIX I wonder what he’s looking for here.
Rich Russillo: Who knows James but what I do know is that those forearm shots have brought Mr.Wrestling XIX down to the knee yet again as Korey grabs him by his head and brings him into the ring a little and this isn’t going to be good! ROPE HUNG DDT PLANTS MR.WRESTLING XIX RIGHT ON HIS NECK! He goes for the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOO!!!
Persephone: You gotta be kidding me, does Korey have anything strong enough in his move set to put anyone down?
James Peters: I have no idea but what I do know is that Korey is upset and starting to scramble not really knowing what to do next, He’s looking at the top rope though and this might be a bad idea on his end considering he has a messed up knee and ankle. Mr.Wrestling did tell him being a “Spot Monkey” as he referred to him as would cost him not only this match but maybe even his career further down the line and it looks like he might’ve been right.
Rich Russillo: Korey didn’t care when he said it to him this week though and it doesn’t look like he cares now guys. He’s proceeding to climb that top rope anyway, obviously struggling due to his ankle. I mean what’s he going to do hop off on one leg? Mr.Wrestling XIX is back up a little bit now though, not having a clue where Korey is…
James Peters: You were right rich! HE DOES JUMP OFF WITH JUST ONE LEG! THE OKLAHOMA SHOOTING STAR! IT CONNECTS!
Persephone: Yea but he can’t capitalize that idiot now this match has too drag on because their both down 🙄.
(Both men are now down after that maneuver from Korey. Both are clearly tired now and feeling the effects of this match as the referee begins the count)
Referee: ONEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THREEEEEE!!!
Referee: FOUURRRRR!
James Peters: Both men are starting to get up though Korey having to use the ropes to help himself and Mr.Wrestling XIX on his own will.
Referee: FIVEEEE!
Rich Russillo: They both get up to their feet now though. Korey trying to stay on the attack but I think too much damage has been dealt by not just Mr.Wrestling XIX but by himself too the two meet in the middle of the ring trading blows. Punch for punch, forearm for forearm. Mr.Wrestling XIX gets the upper hand though grabbing the back of Koreys neck and delivering a bunch of clubbing blows to the head of Korey. Then with a kick the midsection pulling Korey in a power bomb position and this can’t be good for Korey whatsoever!
James Peters: It isn’t. Mr.Wrestling has a sinister look on his face as he lifts Korey up and… DROPS HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN RIGHT ONTO MR.WRESTLING XIX KNEES! THE KNEE BOMB CONNECTS AND THIS HAS TO BE OVER! HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Referee: THR-
Persephone: You have to be kidding me why won’t this annoying bastard just stay down?!
Rich Russillo: I think Mr.Wrestling XIX might agree with you because the frustration grows he just stands over Korey kicking down on him and yelling at him.
Mr. Wrestling XIX: (off-mic) JUST STAY DOWN WON’T YOU!
Korey Gaines: (off-mic) I… CAN… DO…THIS-
James Peters: Well whatever he was about to say got shut down quick as Mr. Wrestling XIX begins stomping him out again grabbing him and picking up by his hair probably looking to deliver the final blow! KOREY HAS OTHER PLANS THOUGH HE PUSHES MR.WRESTLING XIX BACK RIGHT INTO THE ROPES AND REBOUNDING RIGHT INTO A SUPER KICK FROM KOREY! KOREY FALLS RIGHT ON TOP INTO THE COVER!
Referee: ONEEEEE!
Referee: TWOOOO!
Persephone: Man old people are stubborn because Mr.Wrestling XIX won’t stay down either he gets the shoulder up leaning I’ll be waiting even longer to see Rex :gamerrage:
Rich Russillo: :roman: You need to calm down woman and so does Korey because just like you are right now, Korey is throwing a temper tantrum in the ring. He’s clearly pissed off here, not knowing what to do to keep Mr.Wrestling XIX down. When all else fails for this man though he seeks the high risk maneuvers and again he’s making his way to the top rope and you have to think that this time he’s looking for one of his finishing maneuvers here.
James Peters: I agree James and Mr.Wrestling XIX despite kicking out are still down and nursing himself after that superkick. Korey though taking advantage of that is finally up to the top turnbuckle and you can clearly see he’s hurting but he has to finish this match. He stands up… 450 SPLASH! HE CALLS THIS THE OKIE DOKIE!
Persephone: HOWEVER THAT’S WHAT HE GETS FOR HAVING SUCH A STUPID NAME FOR A FINISHER! MR. WRESTLING XIX GETS BOTH KNEES UP!
Rich Russillo: At this point we might have to get this man Ina body cast because now his ribs are probably broke. I mean he went directly into both his opponents knees. Like we mentioned earlier Mr.Wrestling XIX warned Korey that this would happen and he was right. Korey rolling around in pain and Mr.Wrestling XIX is just laughing to himself basically telling him I told you so.
James Peters: That’s what it looks like Rich, Korey went for the final blow but it looks like he delivered it on himself instead helping Mr.Wrestling XIX set up for one of his own. He grabs Korey trying to pull him in for something but Korey still somehow has some fight in him but I don’t think it’s going to be enough. He’s just swinging for the fences hoping he can do something to his opponent but Mr.Wrestling XIX just seems unphased just damn near laughing at Korey here. He gets Korey up into a vertical suplex position…
Rich Russillo: AND DROPS HIM RIGHT DOWN I TO HIS KNEES AGAIN! CASH OUT CONNECTS AND THIS COULD BE ALL SHE WROTE! HE COVERS!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… MR.WRESTLING XIX!
Persephone: Good grief, finally this match is over.
James Peters: Yes it is and what a match it was for the both of these men but at the end Mr.Wrestling XIX was victorious as he is in the ring celebrating his victory and mocking Korey.
Rich Russillo: You don’t have to like Mr. Wrestling, but you have to admit that he’s been doing great. Congratulations to Mr. Wrestling!
(‘Aerials’ is heard playing, and the fans boo loudly. Mr. Wrestling XIX makes his way out the ring celebrating up the ramp still before it zooms into Korey who is still down and in pain as the camera fades elsewhere. )
(Commercial for the Pink Tape by Lil Uzi Vert. Keep listening!)
(We begin to return from commercial break, as we see a long shot of the SNHU Arena, Manchester, New Hampshire. The angle pans across the LED ribbon, facing the entrance way, with the ring at the bottom of the screen. The crowd would pop their heads up as they notice the commercial is over, and before long, they would immediately burst into cheers. ‘Tot Musica’ by Ado would begin to blare through the speaker system as the Voltage audience all stand on their feet. POTARA’s orange and blue entrance graphics display on the stage LED’s, and before long, the Unified Tag Team Champions would step out of the curtains. Holly wearing a white Milli Banks shirt alongside black jean short shorts and the Unified Tag Team Championship over her shoulder, and Harper wearing a Harper Lee shirt alongside grey jeans wearing the Unified Tag Team Championship around her waist, would make their way onto the stage.)
James Peters: And here come the Unified Tag Team Champions! Last night after Showdown went off the air, the two made their presence to attack Off Brand Amphetamines. However, knowing Holly and Harper, that did absolutely not satisfy them whatsoever. That attack is absolutely not good enough for either of them, I don’t think they’ll be settled until they get complete revenge.
Rich Russillo: Makes sense, I mean, I wouldn’t either! I don’t want revenge, I want to be ahead of them! They should attack them again to make it all better. That’s what I would do!
Persephone: No you wouldn’t.
Rich Russillo: You’re right. 🤩
(Holly and Harper make their way up the steel steps individually, as Holly converses with the fans, before following Harper; the duo would then enter the ring. Harper would make her way over to the corner before bending down to grab two mics, one each between the two of them. Following this, their theme song would begin to fade out, as Harper makes her way back to the center of the ring, handing a microphone over to Holly Arrow. Eventually as they face the hardcam, and the crowd dies down, they begin to speak.)
Harper Lee: To be honest with you, with what OBA did to us a week ago, there’s only one way any of this would have ended. Because last week was, despite our victories – yes, OUR, I had Alex beat – that week was awful for us! Not only did we start the night being completely disrespected by our own boss which, mind you, should be treating us with more respect than anyone else on the roster, but then we were attacked by two people we already beat. Like, you couldn’t even just ask for a shot? You had to dig your own grave even more? Off Brand Amphetamines made the worst mistake of their life by attacking the best tag team in the world, and that’s not disputable! They could have been respectful, just like Eden, they could have just asked for a shot, but instead they looked to “send a message” or whatever the hell they were looking to do, and by attacking them last night, we proved that it’s not a hard message to make whatsoever. If anything it’s the easiest thing imaginable! Well, besides beating them that is. We proved at Pain For Pride we aren’t the ones that go down easily, and if they genuinely believed that doing that would have no consequences, they were wrong.
Holly Arrow: I hope they’re absolutely unhappy with what just happened, because realistically, neither are we. We’re pissed off. We’re heated. It doesn’t make us feel better taking our anger out on the two of them, because it’s such a minor thing to us. We defended the titles in the biggest tag team match in recent memory, if not of all time – cheap shots are beneath us. If that’s how OBA operates, then it’s no surprise they aren’t good Champions like us. We don’t just cheap shot people for no reason, however, knowing what kind of show Bloodsport is? That won’t even matter. It’ll just be a drop of blood in the bucket we intend to fill, because the payback we got on Showdown was NOT enough. We want to bash their skulls in, we want to put them through hell, not because being attacked sets us off that badly, but because they really showed they lack respect for the people that ousted them from possibly becoming two-time Champions. With what we’ve done for these titles, we deserve more respect. We deserve more than what we have. I’m not saying we need to be on every single poster like we currently are, though I wouldn’t be opposed to it, but talent and management need to realize just how hard working we are, and acknowledge it fully.
(The crowd would cheer in response.)
Harper Lee: See, we’re absolutely content with putting these titles on the line at Bloodsport. If anything, we’re more than happy to. Despite what some idiots are saying, we’d love to defend these titles! We’re not like DOMINION who say they should be defended weekly, which is worse for the belts due to over exposure, but that just shows how much better we are to begin with! OBA want to take another L to us? That’s fine! OBA want to get put in their place again? That’s fine! Once OBA loses to POTARA, again, they’ll be in the back of the line and will have to think about their approach much differently.
(The Voltage audience, though obviously having a preference for Holly over Harper, no doubt agree with her here as they cheer louder than before.)
Holly Arrow: They’ll have to approach us with way more respect than they did last time. They’ll have to think twice about cheap shotting us. They’ll have to think twice about coming out to the ring before one of our matches is even over, and making our already frustrating night even worse. Not even just out of respect, but out of fear. Fear that we embarrass them again, make them have to eat their words, because realistically; that breeds better respect than just demanding it. We’ll beat it out of them, and if they’re lucky, they’ll get an ounce of it back. Not that they even deserve it-
(Before Holly Arrow can finish her sentence, however, ‘Bringin’ Home The Rain’ by The Builders and Butchers would begin to hit the speakers, as the crowd very quickly shifts to a boo. While the reaction to OBA have become a lot more neutral and even positive at times, both the territory and the fanbase are firmly on POTARA’s side, there was no doubt that Off Brand Amphetamines were going to get this reaction. Though, realistically, it bothers neither of them. They would walk out of the curtains with a smirk on their face, both with a microphone in hand, as their music fades out. They begin to speak to POTARA while they walk down the ramp.)
Kirk Redwood: I’m sure the two of you expected us to come out here, but even if you didn’t, let me just fill you in. We were always going to come out here, but some of the shit you were saying really just made us think we should come out here and shut you up, because to be honest, it’s getting a little too out of hand. See, we’re no doubt happy that you two were willing to accept our challenge, but neither of us are sure why the two of you were so surprised that this happened. You signed up for this. You painted a target on your own backs by becoming Champions, and really, that’s all that matters here. You can complain about it, but that doesn’t mask the truth whatsoever.
(The two of them would climb up onto the apron before entering the ring.)
Solomon Stane: If you believed that other teams who you haven’t already faced would be the ones to try and challenge you, without any other interference, then you’re wrong. Just because we lost does not mean in the slightest that we’re going to take that lightly. Sure, Pain For Pride wasn’t our night. We can acknowledge that. But I’ve said before that every dog has their day, and that day will be Bloodsport. We sent a message last week, Bloodsport will be the end of your title reign, and it is going to be at our hands. Like it or not, that’s happening. You have no say in the matter.
Kirk Redwood: You two have gotten so comfortable as Champions in the few months that you’ve had them. It’s been, what, almost four months? It’s become your everything, and the prospect of failure hasn’t even glossed your mind fully, it hasn’t truly resonated with you no matter how or when you acknowledge it…
Solomon Stane: But that means you two, together, have forgotten one very crucial detail. One detail that makes or breaks Champions. One detail that will decide who the best really is. You’ve forgotten what it’s like being willing to do whatever’s necessary to get in the spot they’re in. Off Brand Amphetamines will be that wake up call.
(Solomon and Kirk stare them down, as POTARA look at one another.)
Holly Arrow: Right. Is that so? 🙄
Harper Lee: How about we test that theory?
(The two of them would move their eyes towards OBA, before…)
Rich Russillo: OH, AND HERE WE GO! HOLLY AND HARPER AT THE SAME TIME RUSH FORWARD, AND BEGIN TO CONNECT WITH PUNCHES TO OBA’S HEADS! DUE TO THEIR SIZE AND WEIGHT DIFFERENCE, THESE PUNCHES AREN’T DOING ALL THAT MUCH, BUT IT’S DEFINITELY STUNNING THEM! HOLLY PUNCHES SOLOMON, THE TALLER OF THE DUO, AS HARPER PUNCHES KIRK-
James Peters: BUT THEY’RE QUICKLY PUSHED BACK! KIRK REDWOOD GRABS ONTO HIS LIP, BEFORE RUSHING FORWARD AND LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A-
Rich Russillo: NO! NO BUTTERFLY BRAINBUSTER! HARPER LEE WOULD QUICKLY SPIN AROUND AND HIT ‘THE RUMBLING’!!! THE SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!!!! NO! KIRK HAS HER CAUGHT!
James Peters: MEANWHILE HOLLY ARROW CONNECTS WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, STUNNING SOLOMON! BEFORE QUICKLY ATTEMPTING THE ‘SECTUMSEMPRA’!!! THE BURNING HAMMER; WE’VE SEEN HER HIT THIS ON RONAN MALOSI, A MAN SIMILAR IN STATURE TO SOLOMON! SHE ATTEMPTS TO LIFT HIM UP…
Rich Russillo: BELL CLAP TO HOLLY’S HEAD FROM SOLOMON! SHE STUMBLES BACK AS KIRK LETS HARPER GO, AS POTARA REGROUPS AT THE ROPES! OBA DO THE SAME, BEFORE THEY CHARGE FORWARD….
James Peters: NO! SECURITY RUSH THE RING, AND IMMEDIATELY BEGIN TO HOLD THEM BACK! THIS FIGHT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO OCCUR, AND WE KNOW HOW OUT OF HAND THIS COULD GET DUE TO THE PRIOR ATTACKS! SECURITY HOLD THEM BACK IN THE CORNER, BEFORE PULLING POTARA OUT OF THE RING!
(The crowd would boo, as they begin to chant.)
Crowd: LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!
(However, this would not be the case. Security would begin to pull POTARA out through the crowd, as they escort them out of the arena, while OBA are left in the ring. The crowd would continue to chant let them fight, as both teams yell at one another, clearly looking to continue. This would go on for some time, before eventually, Voltage fades elsewhere.)
( Voltage reopens to where Captain Charisma’s office is. Captain Charisma is seen on the phone talking with someone, as he looks pretty focused and determined just based on his facial expression. We would hear someone knock on his door. )
Captain Charisma: I’ll call you back later.
( Captain puts his phone away as he shouts out… )
Captain Charisma: The door is open, you can come in!
(The person enters through the door and it’s revealed to be none other than Major Michael Scott Connor! Michael is seen wearing his marine uniform which is a tan shirt and tie, blue pants with a tan knit belt and red stripe down the outside, and shiny black dress shoes. He has very serious look on his face as he asks Captain Charisma… )
Major Michael Scott Connor: You wanted to see me sir?
( Captain Charisma responds back to Michael with a smile on his face as he says… )
Captain Charisma: Actually I did! I know how difficult it must have felt not getting drafted to either brand. I know Tyrone and Kennedy must have not wanted to place their bets on someone who was an active Marine. I mean from what I remembered, you entered into your New Breed Championship against Caroline, already injured from an out of the ring accident. You can kind of understand why the general managers wouldn’t want to draft someone, that can have something happen to them while on duty yeah?
Major Michael Scott Connor: Yes I know that Captain Charisma, but I’m not going to change who I am though. I understand if the General Managers didn’t want that type of liability but I would be a coward If I decided to just quit being on the force. I love this country and I love wrestling for Elite Answers Wrestling. Things like that can happen, but that isn’t going to stop me from wrestling and fighting!
( Captain Charisma got a smirk on his face as he says… )
Captain Charisma: That is the type of energy I love, and so when you had your match with Mr. Wrestling XIX, I was impressed with you. You brought the fire and the passion with your match against him, despite that liability that I mentioned before. I respect what you have done for this country, and to continue to do that whilst wrestling on an impressive level has got me interested. I had my reservations just like my colleagues, but you proved me wrong with this match against him.
( Captain Charisma leans over to his desk and grabs hold of the contract! Micheal’s eyes widen a little bit as Captain Charisma continues to speak… )
Captain Charisma: Major, I wanna offer you a contract to exclusively be a part of Sunday Night Voltage! I could definitely see you doing great things here on Voltage, and having an impressive performance just like one you had last week is a great testament to that and going forward. So what do you say, Major?
( Major cracks open a smile as he looks directly into Captain Charisma’s eyes as he tells him… )
Major Michael Scott Connor: I happily accept your contract offer sir!
( Captain Charisma brings out his hand, as Major shakes it with a firm grip. They shake on it as Major Michael Scott Connor is now a part of Sunday Night Voltage. Before the Major could have his chance to sign his contract, a loud thud is heard as someone else has entered into Captain Charisma’s office! )
???: Hey!
( The Camera pans over to Mr. Wrestling XIX, who was the man that faced The Major last week here on Voltage. Mr Wrestling XIX is seen in his ring attire, as he looks over to Captain Charisma as it seems like he’s looking to ask him something… )
Captain Charisma: Is there anything I can help you with Mr. Wrestling XIX.
Mr. Wrestling XIX: Yeah, there is something you can help me with! You see, I want a match on the next marquee event for Voltage, Bloodsport. I want the big spotlight, to showcase to a wider audience what Mr. Wrestling XIX is all about. However I want a pure simple match at Bloodsport. Just a clean, good old fashioned wrestling match that is my ally. None of that Deathmatch garbage, none of those violent barbed wire baseball bats, and light tubes thrown my way. None of that whatsoever. Just a nice simple little match for me at Bloodsport.
( Mr. Wrestling would look over towards Major Michael Scott Connor with a face that looks quite annoyed. He turns over to Captain Charisma… )
Mr. Wrestling XIX: What the hell is he doing here?
Captain Charisma: Mr. Wrestling, let me introduce you to the newest signing to Sunday Night Voltage, Major Michael Scott Connor!
( This would make Mr. Wrestling enraged over hearing that, as it looks he was about to blow up a casket. He angrily tells Captain Charisma… )
Mr. Wrestling XIX: Are you kidding me? Seriously?
Captain Charisma: Yes I’m very serious, I don’t know why you thought I would be playing some type of joke here. The Major is a part of Voltage now.
Mr. Wrestling XIX: With all due respect Captain Charisma, I don’t know you decided to hand out a deal to this fraud right here. Why would you give him a spot on the Voltage roster, when I soundly defeated him, one, two, three in the middle of that ring? He was on the losing end, against me. I formally welcomed him to my domain, and you decided to reward him with a roster spot? Nah that is utterly disgraceful towards me!
(Mr Wrestling is fuming over Captain Charisma signing The Major to Voltage as he continues on with his rant…)
Mr. Wrestling XIX: Are we just going to let anybody who loses a match be rewarded? Is that how things work around here? We gave out charity points for losers, who cares if he was so quote on quote “impressive”. He was laid down on the floor, and I pinned him. Quite frankly, he shouldn’t be here right now, he should be competing on Showdown or Dynasty, like how Free Agents actually are. I’ve been retired for nearly half a decade and yet I’m still great, so that excuse of also being a marine isn’t going to work in your favor. I suggest you-
Captain Charisma: ALRIGHT THAT’S ENOUGH!
( Captain Charisma yells out to Mr. Wrestling to stop, as he does as Captain Charisma puts his hand over his forehead, out of frustration. He tells Mr. Wrestling XIX… )
Captain Charisma: If you want to compete at Bloodsport, sure I’ll make it happen. Unfortunately it isn’t going to some pure regular style match that you want. This is Bloodsport, not regular Regular-Sport. The match you’re going to be competing in, Mr. Wrestling, is going to be the Exploding Barbed Wire Ladder Match. It’s for a ‘Unique Opportunity’ that could be absolutely anything, perhaps even a title match. So that is the best you’re going to get for Bloodsport. Take it or leave it.
( Mr. Wrestling XIX has a very annoyed face as he answers Captain Charisma… )
Mr. Wrestling XIX: I told you, competing in those types of matches is not my forte. I’d rather not get blood all over myself dealing with something as asinine as an exploding barbed wire ladder. I’d rather not appease those fans by taking high risk bullshit for their entertainment. A pure simple match is what I do best… but with that said, a unique opportunity already presented to me, only after two matches has me interested. I’ll accept being confined in that setting. I’ll make sure though, that I don’t waste my time getting my hands bloodied, as I win that match and grab hold of that unique opportunity. Anybody else you have that in the match Captain Charisma whether that’s Valrie Hellstorm or Bea Valentine, I’ll make sure they’ll be accustomed to my version of wrestling.
( Mr. Wrestling XIX looks at both Captain Charisma and Major Michael Scott Connor before leaving his office. Captain Charisma then looks at the Major as he tells him.. )
Captain Charisma: He’s not going to be only one in that match, Major you’ll also be competing in that barbed wire ladder match, for a unique opportunity. Don’t let those words from Mr. Wrestling discourage you, you have EARNED your spot on the voltage roster, and I’m very excited for what you will do and what you’re capable of competing in a match like that.
( The Major tells Captain Charisma… )
Major Michael Scott Connor: The last ladder match I competed in, was back at Reasonable Doubt. I successfully earned one of those briefcases, and had a New Breed Title shot from it. Things may not have gotten my way then, but I’ll make sure to make this one count. I promise you, sir, that you will get the best version of the Major at Bloodsport, and make sure people like Mr. Wrestling get proven wrong. I won’t let you down!
Captain Charisma: I wouldn’t want it any other way!
( Captain Charisma places the roster contract on his desk as Major Michael Scott Connor grabs a pen and officially signs it. The Major is now a part of Voltage as he once again shakes the hand of Captain Charisma before he leaves. The final shot would see Captain Charisma, bring out his phone again as we Sunday Night Voltage fades into a commercial break. )
(Commercial for Saturday night Showdown, where National Elite Champion Jon Kelton will take on Scott Diamond.)
( Sunday Night Voltage returns to the show once again as ‘Imma Be’ by The Black Eyed Peas hits the PA system, eliciting a chorus of boos from the crowd. Bea Valentine makes her way out, exuding total confidence, especially after her big win last week. She knows nothing but confidence as she prepares to face TLA. Bea maintains her focus and composure as she heads straight to the ring. )
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!… INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS!… WEIGHING IN AT 143 POUNDS!… ‘QUEEN BEA’ !…. BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!… VALENTINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Rich Russillo: BEA-lieve that! She has that BEA in her! She is BEAAAAA!… Valentine!
Persephone: Jesus Christ, I hate you with all my heart.
Rich Russillo: Hey come on! Let me have fun!
James Peters: Last week, Roberto’s focus wavered, allowing Bea to escape with her first significant win of the season! Impressive effort from both competitors, nonetheless. And tonight, Bea is set to face the biggest opponent of her EAW career thus far, TLA! TLA currently holds the EAW Hardcore Championship, but let’s not forget that he’s also a former World Champion. Bea is certainly facing a risky task dealing with the man himself.
( Bea confidently enters the ring and blows a kiss at the camera, accompanied by a quick wink. Suddenly, ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by 2Pac starts playing, filling the arena. Surprisingly, the crowd’s intense dislike for Bea transforms into the loudest cheers imaginable, as the Hardcore Champion, TLA, makes his way to the ring with the EAW Hardcore title proudly displayed around his waist. Bea responds with a confident smile, while TLA remains composed, calmly walking toward the ring. Both competitors are focused on nothing but winning and defending their respective positions in the ring. )
Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT!… CURRENTLY RESIDING IN MIAMI, FLORIDA!… WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS!… HE IS THE EAW HARDCORE CHAMPION!… ‘LA PANTERA SEXUAL’ !!!.. HE IS!!!!… T!.. L!… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
James Peters: IT’S THE HARDCORE CHAMPION, TLA! The crowd loves this man with all their hearts, knowing that what he has done for this business means a lot to this company, and what he has sacrificed once again to become the Hardcore Champion deserves nothing but immense respect! Tonight, TLA is up against Bea Valentine, and there is nothing he has to be more worried about than taking care of his opposition!
Rich Russillo: Don’t forget that he also has to worry about Charlie Marr. Charlie must have been living rent-free in TLA’s head, which means TLA has something else to focus on besides his opponent tonight. Charlie could blindside him at any moment, and TLA needs to be aware of the potential presence.
Persephone: Can he? We don’t even know where Charlie is. All we saw was that weird video package and that was it. Then again, I don’t mind not having to see Charlie around here, so let’s keep things that way.
( DING DING DING! )
James Peters: Bea got her first big victory of this season against the current 24/7 Contract holder, Roberto De La Rosa. But will she be able to secure another win against the Hardcore Champion and EAW Hall of Famer, TLA? Let’s find out now! Both competitors step out of their respective corners. Bea appears to be adopting a slower approach, gradually building up her speed against her toughest opponent yet, TLA. TLA possesses far more experience and in-ring intelligence than Bea, so he will undoubtedly exercise caution, despite having a much higher skill level than Bea.
Rich Russillo: Bea targets TLA’s legs right from the start, but the champ manages to catch her and forcefully pins her shoulders to the ground. He swiftly goes for the cover, but Bea promptly kicks out! Bea retaliates by hooking TLA’s leg and attempting a cover, but TLA also kicks out immediately! Both elitists get to their feet. TLA rushes in for a quick clothesline, but Bea counters with a kick to his arm. She swiftly grabs his neck and headlock takedown by Bea!
James Peters: TLA applies a headscissor, but Bea manages to escape quickly! Both Bea and TLA get back to their feet. Bea attempts a superkick, but TLA intercepts her and spins her back around.… ZIG ZAG BY TLA!
Persephone: (claps) yay, someone finally gets hurt. I’m so excited. woo.
James Peters: Bea heads towards the corner, not far from where TLA placed her. TLA follows her as she rolls down to the mat. Bea returns, pulling the ropes with TLA’s assistance, leaving her leaning against the corner…. A HARD CHOP BY TLA!
Rich Russillo: ONE FROM BEA! A CHOP GOES RIGHT ACROSS TLA’S CHEST!
Persephone: Well, I hope you know how that’s going to end up, dumbass.
James Peters: FOOT THRUST SENDS BEA RIGHT INTO THE CORNER!… ANOTHER CHOP FROM TLA, LEAVING BEA TUMBLING AGAINST THE CORNER! TLA drags Bea out of the corner… TIGER SUPLEX! TAKING QUEEN BEA DOWN!
Rich Russillo: TLA is just about to go for a pinfall attempt on Bea, but Bea rolls to the outside first, keeping herself in the safe zone and avoiding TLA’s hand laying on her, preventing further damage. TLA becomes quite annoyed, but he manages to keep his cool and rolls down to the outside while Bea uses the barricade to help herself up. Bea’s strategy doesn’t seem to be working well, and TLA has been making more and more progress in this match so far. Now, TLA seizes Bea by her wrist and looks to send her crashing into the steel steps!
James Peters: BEA SWITCHES UP!… TLA JUST CRASHES AND BURNS INTO THE STEEL STEPS! OH NO!
Persephone: IDIOT!
Rich Russillo: Bea might be able to gain a significant advantage against the Hardcore champion there, but she isn’t done toying with TLA just yet! Why is she grabbing his head? What’s her plan there?!
James Peters: OH GOD! BEA JUST DRIVES TLA’S FACE RIGHT INTO THE STEEL STEPS! DOWN GOES THE HARDCORE CHAMPION! THAT SHOT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY NASTY!
Persephone: YES! GET HIS ASS! GIVE HIM CTE! END THIS MATCH! WOO!
Rich Russillo: Bea just dropped the champ onto the ground like that, trying to sweeten up her chances in order to make a move. She picks TLA up and now sends him rolling back inside. Bea employs a great tactic, causing the champ to hold himself down a little bit. Now, Bea heads back into the ring and immediately throws herself into the corner, charging up and patiently waiting for TLA to bring himself to his feet anytime soon. TLA scrambles back as Bea sets her sights on him…. SHINNING WIZARD BRINGS THE CHAMP DOWN! BEA HOOKS THE LEG!
Persephone: OKAY GOGOGOOGOGOGO!
ONEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: TLA KICKS OUT!
Persephone: FUC-
Rich Russillo: AH YES! TLA manages to survive that without a shadow of a doubt, demonstrating that Bea’s efforts so far haven’t been enough to bring down her biggest opponent since her EAW debut. Bea still has a long way to go in this match, and it remains to be seen how long it will take for her to overcome the struggle and emerge victorious. We’ll be keeping a close eye on her as she fights tooth and nail in this match!
Persephone: “We’lL Be kEePiNg a cLoSe eYe oN HeR As sHe fIgHtS ToOtH AnD NaIl iN ThIs mAtCh!” I will NOT be contributing to that.
Rich Russillo: Bea is still on her feet, while TLA is having a hard time recovering from all the attacks he has endured in this match from Bea. With numerous thoughts swirling in her head, Bea is well aware that there are countless ways for her to seize the opportunity and bring out the worst in the Hardcore champion. She circles around the champion, patiently waiting for him to rise to his feet, keeping a close eye on him and ensuring that she can execute her plan once TLA is in a perfect position.
James Peters: TLA reaches- SLINGBLADE BY BEA, NO! TLA CONNECTS WITH A BIG BOOT, CAUSING BEA TO FALL INTO THE ROPES!!!! HURRICANRANA BY THE HARDCORE CHAMPION! BEA FALLS! She backs to her feet again…. SOME FAST STRIKING COMBOS AT HER!…. ‘AR15’ LASSO FROM EL PASO CUTS BEA’S HEAD OFF! WHAT A POWER BY TLA!
Rich Russillo: I mean… WOW! That’s still incredibly quick to witness coming from a Hall of Famer like TLA! He has never lost his agility and speed! This man is built like a vampire!
Persephone: Yeah but you know what’s faster? When me and Rex start having some hot coffee se-
James Peters: TLA MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR A SHORT CUT THERE! STEPPING IN!…. ‘420’ SHOOTING STAR PRESS ON BEA!
Rich Russillo: NO! BEA WITH BOTH KNEES UP, CATCHING THE CHAMP OFF GUARD!…. TURNING TLA INTO A SMALL PACKAGE ROLL-UP! SHE GOT HIM!
ONEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THRE-
James Peters: ANOTHER KICK OUT BY TLA! :whew: SO CLOSE!
Persephone: Yeah, just wrap this up anytime soon. I don’t care who wins, just put me out of this already.
James Peters: TLA clutches his gut, feeling the lingering pain from those intercepted knees, while Bea quickly rolls back to her feet, surpassing him in speed. Bea charges in, aiming for a Superkick at TLA this time!
Persephone: WHAT?!
Rich Russillo: ONE HAND! HE JUST CAUGHT BEA’S RIGHT FOOT WITH ONLY ONE HAND! TLA!… ‘SWAG SHOT’ TURNS BEA ALL AROUND! PIMP SLAP CONNECTS! BEA’S DOWN! TLA WITH A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Persephone: THREEEEEEEEE!
Rich Russillo: ONLY TWO!
Persephone: OH COME ON!
James Peters: Bea is the one kicking out this time and may get to live for another few minutes in this competition, or perhaps even longer than that! Bea wants to BEA her best self and fight against the likes of TLA to show what her best self is capable of! Fighting against TLA has never been an easy opponent to fight, as Limmy Monaghan proved, as Drake King proved, and as many people who have held the Hardcore Championship have proven. TLA is a formidable opponent to bring down.
Rich Russillo: Bea is back on her feet, but she’s still trying to capitalize on the situation while TLA, already on guard, stands right in front of her! TLA steps in and delivers a powerful right hook to her jaw! Bea is sent flying back into the ropes, but she quickly recovers and shakes it off. TLA follows up with a kick to one calf, then another kick to the other calf, ultimately taking her down!… DOUBLE FOOT STOMP ON HER CHEST!
Persephone: YEAH!
James Peters: BEA MOVES OUT! TLA misses his target but quickly redirects his focus toward Bea as she manages to evade him. TLA charges at full speed, aiming to bring her down, but Bea swiftly trips TLA’s leg, causing him to lean against the middle rope… A KNEE TO THE BACK OF TLA! Bea drags him out… GERMAN SUPLEX PLANTS!
Rich Russillo: BOTH FEET LAND ON THE GROUND! TLA JUMPS IN!… ZIG ZAG! THE ZIG ZAG CONNECTS, AND NOW TLA LOOKS TO CAPITALIZE AS HE QUICKLY GRABS BEA!!! MANDIBLE CLAW BY THE HARDCORE CHAMPION! IT LOCKS IN!
Persephone: EWWWWWWWWWW! SHE BITES HIS HAND! THAT’S DISGUSTING! BEA TRIES TO EAT TLA’S HAND ALIVE! THIS WOMAN IS A FREAK!
James Peters: TLA releases his grip on Bea’s hand, wary of being bitten. Bea seizes the opportunity and steps forward, grabbing TLA’s hand firmly in her own…. SNAPS ONE OF HIS FINGERS! JEEZ! TLA drops to both knees… A STOMP ONTO HIS HAND BY BEA!
Rich Russillo: I think Bea is attempting to exploit TLA’s weaknesses and further exacerbate his injuries. By targeting TLA’s hand, she aims to turn the tide in her favor. It’s a brilliant move by Queen Bea, and she seems determined to capitalize on this opportunity!
James Peters: Bea pulls TLA back up to his feet and swiftly hurls him into the corner of the ring. Charging in with great speed… CORNER SHINNING WIZARD!! TLA is sent sprawling down towards the middle of the ring with an arm-drag…. QUICKLY FOLLOWS IT UP WITH ANOTHER STOMP RIGHT ONTO TLA’S HAND, FURTHER TARGETING HIS WEAKNESS!
Persephone: Don’t care. She’s still a weirdo.
James Peters: TLA is still nursing his injured hand, which was almost broken by Bea’s earlier attack while Bea positions herself in the corner, keeping a close watch on the champion. TLA manages to regain his footing and steadies himself…. BEA RUNS OUT!…. ‘BIRDS AND THE BEA’ KINSHASA KNEE STRIKE!
Rich Russillo: KNEE LIFT BY TLA CATCHING HER OFF GUARD!… Bea walks back… INTO ‘DESMADRE’ SITOUT POWERBOMB BY TLA-
James Peters: BEA COUNTERS WITH A FRANKENSTEINER! TLA, being sent towards the ropes, skillfully pulls the brakes just in time to avoid colliding with them. He quickly turns around, searching for an opening to deliver a boot across her face!… SUPERKICK FROM BEA VALENTINE!
Rich Russillo: SUPERKICK LANDS, halting TLA’s momentum and causing him to collapse back into the corner! Bea gets back on her feet as she readjusts her focus and sprints towards the ropes, taking a leap onto the middle rope with snatching TLA… TORNADO DDT BY BEA!
James Peters: NO! TLA INTERCEPTS!…. A VERTICAL SUPLEX FROM TLA!
Rich Russillo: BEA SLIPS OUT! LANDING BOTH FEET BEHIND HIM!… GERMAN- TLA WITH A BACK ELBOW RIGHT INTO HER FACE! TLA sprints down towards the ropes and bounces off, propelling himself forwar- DISCUS LARIAT TURNS TLA INSIDE OUT!
Persephone: OKAY HIT THAT THING! WHATEVER YOU BEA’D IT!
James Peters: Bea delivers a powerful discus lariat, sending TLA crashing down to the mat. The match is reaching a critical point, and it seems like Bea has a real chance of defeating TLA tonight! She wastes no time and starts setting up her next move, with TLA still recovering in the corner! Bea regains her composure and charges toward TLA….
Rich Russillo: ‘BEA SWARM’ ! CORNER DOUBLE KNEE CRASHING WITH THE FACE OF TLA! TLA COLLAPSES TO THE GROUND! BEA GOES FOR A COVER!
Persephone: ONE TWO THREE! DING DING DING! YES! WOO!
ONEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THRE-
James Peters: TLA KICKS OUT AGAIN!
Rich Russillo: AND BEA DOESN’T WASTE A MOMENT! SHE QUICKLY POSITIONS TLA BETWEEN HER LEGS, SETTING UP FOR HER SIGNATURE SUBMISSION MANEUVER, THE ‘BEA-TRAPPED’ CODE OF SILENCE!
James Peters: TLA leans forward… A ROLL-UP! BOTH SHOULDERS ARE ON THE GROUND! TLA GOT IT!
ONEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Rich Russillo: BEA KICKS OUT!
James Peters: Bea rolls back to her feet, and TLA follows suit. Both competitors charge toward each other with determination and intensity!.. BEA WITH A SUPERKICK BUT TLA BLOCKS IT!… TLA GOES FOR A SPINNING BACKFIST!
Rich Russillo: JUMPING ENZUIGIRI BY BEA! Bea scrambles back to her feet and from behind TLA… GERMAN SUPLEX INTERCEPTS!
James Peters: TLA SWIFTLY HOOKS BEA BY HER NECK AND BRINGS HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! COUNTERING INTO ANOTHER PINFALL ATTEMPT! BEA IS IN TROUBLE!
ONEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THRE-
Rich Russillo: BEA STILL KICKS OUT SOMEHOW!
Persephone: TOO MANY KICK OUT! END THIS ALREADY!
James Peters: TLA quickly pops back to his feet, intending to strike Bea with a ‘Very Mexican Uppercut’ to knock her down… BACKSLIDE! BEA WITH A BACKSLIDE, STOPPING THE UPPERCUT!
ONEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREE!
Persephone: THREE! YES!
James Peters: NO TWO! TLA KICKS OUT!… JACKKNIFE ROLL-UP BY TLA THIS TIME!
Persephone: PLEASE BE THREE! BE THREE!
ONEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEE!
Persephone: AH ENOUGH!
James Peters: BEA ALSO KICKS OUT! ANOTHER KICK OUT!
Rich Russillo: Damn, that was quite a spectacle, wasn’t it?! Both of them attempting to pin each other, yet neither managing to reach the count of three! TLA and Bea are back on their feet simultaneously, and Bea is eager to bring this bout to a decisive conclusion!… ‘BEA-STING’ JUMPING MUSHROOM STOMP!
James Peters: BEA GETS CAUGHT AGAIN!… ‘DESMADRE’ SITOUT POWERBOM- NO BEA POPS OFF HIS SHOULDERS AND LANDS BEHIND TLA! BEA HOOKS HIS ARMS AND GOES FOR ANOTHER BACKSLIDE!
Rich Russillo: TLA immediately backs to his feet… HURRICANRANA SENDS BEA FLYING DOWN TO THE MIDDLE ROPE! UH OH!
Persephone: Oh boy here we go, another flippy dummy. I do not need to watch another Korey Gaines match.
James Peters: TLA RUNS BACK IN!.. ‘305’ ! TIGER FEINT KICK DROPS BEA! TLA is still on both feet and now!… SPRINGBOARD SPLASH ON BEA! HE LANDS IT! TLA WITH A HOOK TO HER LEG!
Persephone: YES! THAT SHOULD BE IT!
ONEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREE-
Rich Russillo: AND STILL KICKS OUT! BEA STILL SURVIVES!
Persephone: UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
James Peters: ‘305’ got Bea right on the mark and connected the dots for TLA, but she’s still alive in this match when she should have been done by now?! Can you believe that? Is this the magic of BEA or what?!
Rich Russillo: I’m pretty sure TLA has yet to reach the end of his plan, and all of that is just to make his opponent come down to their worst state, weakening them as much as possible before setting them up for a decisive blow. When the plan goes well for the Hardcore champion himself, they will be taken down all at once! TLA has already inflicted considerable damage, and this could be leading up to his final blow very soon! Who knows?! TLA might want to toy with his opponent a bit longer, but we all know that a real gangster like him would do what a real gangster does! Bea should be concerned about the situation unfolding right now!
Persephone: Are you dumb? She’s still unconscious! How could she pay attention? And look, now she’s just starting to get back on her feet! Gosh, are there any professionals in this match? This is why this crap is so boring!
James Peters: It’s going to be too late for Bea now because TLA is ready to wrap this up already! TLA has been waiting at the corner for BEA to get back up, and now she’s reached her feet! TLA has her right where she wants her to be, and now… she’s looking for the ‘Mexican Destroyer’ ! MEXICAN DESTROYER IS GOING TO KILL HER!
Rich Russillo: TLA RUNS!… NO BEA POPS HIM UP IN THE AIR!… WOW! SUPERKICK STUNS HIM! TLA COLLAPSES… BEA CATCHES HIM AND HALF NELSON NECKBREAKER APPLIES! TLA IS DOWN!
James Peters: Bea just managed to catch TLA off guard, and she’s going to turn the tide in her favor right here! Bena drops swiftly into the corner, situated, and now she’s waiting, looking down at TLA and looking to unleash it all there. TLA is trying to get back up from the corner break, but Bea isn’t going to let him wait! This is the QUEEN BEA moment she’s been waiting for, and there’s no time to waste! She should do it right here, right now!
Rich Russillo: TLA is back on both feet, and now Bea is charging forward!… SHE’S LOOKING FOR THE ‘BIRDS AND THE BEA’ KINSHASA KNEE!
James Peters: TLA SIDESTEPS!…. LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ZIG ZAG but Bea rolls backwards to her feet… KICK TO HIS CHIN!… DDT BY BEA!
Rich Russillo: TLA HANGS ONTO THE IT!… SHOVING BEA AWAY AND GOING FOR ANOTHER ‘SWAG SHOT’ PIMP SLAP AT HER!
James Peters: BEA DUCKS UNDERNEATH!… SLAP ON HER OWN ACROSS TLA’S FACE TURNING HIM ALL AROUND!… GERMAN SUPLEX- NO! TLA FLIPS OUT OF IT AND LANDS ON HIS FEET!
Rich Russillo: BEA NOTICES IT AND NOW TURNS AROUND, LOOKING TO TACKLE TLA DOWN, BUT IT’S TOO LATE! TLA CAUGHT HER IN THE MIDDLE! TLA HAS HER IN THE HOLD!… TIGER SUPLEX BY TLA!
Persephone: YES! I MEAN, YES! IT’S GOING TO END SOON! RIGHT?!?!???!?
James Peters: TLA manages to take Bea down again, but he isn’t done yet! TLA picks her off the ground once again in the same Tiger hold!… TRANSITIONING!… ‘MEXICAN DESTROYER’ !!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: OH MY GOD! BOOM! HE HITS IT! ONE TWO AND THREE! WOOOOOOOOOO!
Rich Russillo: NO! BEA HANGS ON! TLA couldn’t hit the move because Bea is trying to escape from the hold! She drops herself to the ground as TLA desperately shoves her right back down with a hard right hand across her face. TLA goes for another attempt to make sure that she couldn’t stay down, and now he picks her off again to put her under his wing, this time!
James Peters: ‘MEXICAN DESTROYER’ !!!!!!!!!-
Rich Russillo: BEA SHOVES HIM AWAY!… ‘BIRDS AND THE BEA’ KINSHASA AT TLA AGAIN!
James Peters: TLA POPS HER UP!… ‘VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT’ BY TLA! TLA JUST KNOCKED HER OUT LIKE THAT! BEA IS DONE FOR GOOD!
Persephone: YES! STAY DOWN, LOSER! WE ARE CLOSING THE CURTAIN!
James Peters: Wait, what the?
(The titantron suddenly lights up, and TLA is in disbelief as he turns to the stage. He watches on, and a video package begins to play once more.)
Narrator: Are you tired of the everyday Elitist?
(Clips begin to play featuring various members of the Voltage roster. Minerva, Rex McAllister, Jamie O’Hara, Drake King, TLA, and more all appear in the video.)
Narrator: Elitists that on their best day, will only ever be “decent”, and never reach the heights this industry truly has to offer?
(The clips suddenly take a turn, as the Elitists shown in the video package are seen taking losses, being attacked, and more. Every clip makes the Elitists look worse, and as TLA watches on he progressively becomes more and more annoyed.)
Narrator: Well have no fear, because very soon… The greatest of all time will be back.
(Suddenly, the clips don’t just show the Elitists being harmed, they show clips of a specific person attacking them throughout his career. That person is none other than Charlie Marr. Charlie is seen taking down Elitist after Elitist, winning Championship after Championship and continuing to be the very best on the EAW roster.)
Narrator: Soon… We’ll see an Elitist that doesn’t struggle to entertain the world.
(The clips would begin to showcase some of Charlie Marr’s time in Las Vegas, showing him partying and enjoying himself.)
Narrator: This Elitist won’t bore the world, much like the rest of Elite Answers Wrestling has.
(More clips are shown of his time in Las Vegas, with Charlie drinking, gambling, and more.)
Narrator: This Elitist will instead reclaim his spot on top of EAW. He has already done it all, from the Hardcore Championship, to the Unified Tag Team Championships to the EAW World Championship…
(Clips are shown, the same clips that were shown last week. His Championship victories throughout his career, victories over Limmy Monaghan, Malcolm Jones and more are replayed for the crowd, who aren’t happy about the timing of this.)
Narrator: But he wants more.
(Charlie is once again seen training, and a smirk appears on his face as the narrator continues.)
Narrator: Champagne Charlie. Coming soon.
(The video package ends, and at this point TLA can tell something is up. He’s confused, and annoyed that this is happening now.)
James Peters: What was that abo-
Rich Russillo: OH WAIT THE SECOND! BEA FROM BEHIND! SHE ROLLS HIM UP! THANKS TO CHARLIE MARR’S VIDEO!
ONEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Persephone: IT’S OVER!
James Peters: NO, TLA BEATS THE COUNT! HE KICKS OUT! THAT WAS A VERY CLOSE CALL, BUT BEA BACKS TO HER FEET AND RUNS IN!… ‘BIRDS AND THE BEA’ BY BEA!
Rich Russillo: BEA SWINGS THE MISS AND DRIVES HER KNEE INTO THE CORNER! SHE’S IN PAIN AS TLA MANAGES TO AVOID IT, AND THAT MIGHT HAVE JUST HURT HER CHANCES BADLY!!! BEA STUMBLES TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, AND I THINK TLA HAS HER IN HIS SIGHTS!!!
James Peters: TLA RUNS IN AND THE ‘MEXICAN DESTROYER’ SHUTS HER DOWN! DOWN GOES BEA AS THAT ONE SMALL MISTAKE MAY HAVE JUST COST HER THE MATCH!!!! TLA NOW WITH A COVER AFTER NEARLY BEING COST THE MATCH AGAINST BEA!!!
ONEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
( DING DING DING! )
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… THE HARDCORE CHAMPION TLA!
James Peters: THAT WAS VERY CLOSE AS BEA NEARLY HAD THE CHANCE TO PIN THE HARDCORE CHAMPION, THANKS TO CHARLIE MARR!
Persephone: THAT WAS GREAT! I MEAN, THE MATCH IS OVER!! WOO!
James Peters: What a match, that’s for sure! Bea has brought her own A-game against TLA tonight, pushing him to his great limits without a shadow of a doubt. But at the end of the day, TLA has shown who’s the toughest one, standing tall and earning a hard-fought victory against one of the fastest-rising stars in EAW today, Bea Valentine!
Rich Russillo: You just gotta BEA-yourself!
Persephone: KILL yourself for that joke.
Rich Russillo: :mjcry:
James Peters: Well, it seems like the winner isn’t pleased with that video package, considering what almost caused him a loss against Bea Valentine. I don’t blame him, either. At this point, I’m starting to believe this isn’t coincidental at all.
( ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by 2Pac hits the PA system as Bea Valentine lowers her head and walks frustratedly towards the backstage area. The camera cuts back to reveal TLA receiving the Hardcore title and raising his hand triumphantly in the air as the winner. However, he still appears upset about Charlie’s actions for the second week in a row. The camera zooms in, capturing TLA’s frustrated facial expression. TLA glances up at the screen, anger filling his face, before it fades out. )
( As the scene faded back into Voltage, we are taken backstage so a set with a Gold colored backdrop; two chairs being the only other residency of the shot, with one of them already being filled by none other than Sofia Clarke, Voltage’s Resident Source for all of the Gold Brand’s backstage news needs, isn’t she just the best? Sofia would be wearing a simple black two piece dress, clearly knowing how to dress for an occasion as important as this; as Clarke grinned towards the camera, with insight behind the camera that her mark had been given and they were rolling as Clarke cleared her throat for the moment, adjusting herself in her seat as she prepared to speak. )
Sofia Clarke: Hello EAW Universe, and welcome back to Sunday Night Voltage! Of course I am Sofia Clarke, and today I have been given the honor to sit down with not only one of Voltage’s quickly rising new acquisitions, not only a future LEADER of the EAW Locker-room, but quite possibly in the coming weeks the NEW Specialist’s Champion here in Elite Answers Wrestling as she takes on current Champion, Milli Banks, for the prestigious belt . . .Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome at this time, Jamie Cross!
( A bit of silent applause came from Sofia as she looked panned her eyes off the set for a moment, eyes clearly lingering on someone as finally Jamie would make her way into the camera view, a huge grin on her face as she nodded towards Sofia, Clarke waving back to Jamie as she quickly sat down in the seat adjacent to the interviewer, picking up the microphone on it quickly before doing so, as she dwindled it in her hand for the moment. )
Jamie Cross: It’s a pleasure to be here, Sofia!
Sofia Clarke: It’s a pleasure to have you here, Jamie – how are you?
Jamie Cross: I’m quite alright, thankfully I wasn’t as jetlagged this week as I was last week, so that’s always a plus! 🥴
Sofia Clarke: Well I’m glad to see you in a better state of mind than you were in last week! Obviously I don’t want to hold you too long here; after all you have a match coming up against a very game Sierra Everett, but there were a couple of questions I had surrounding the entire situation a few days ago on Dynasty?
( Hearing this, Jamie formed a brief frown on her face, clearly not in the best of moods towards how Dynasty had turned out; with things going haywire amidst Milli Banks’s match. )
Jamie Cross: Look . . . What can I really say? Honestly I was having a STELLAR time on commentary, and I think I found my calling for when my Wrestling Career is over – CALLING MATCHES IS SUUUPER FUN, but as much as I enjoyed commentating over two of my absolute faves’ in the ring, being Milli Banks and Ms. Extreme . . . Things took a turn, admittedly.
Jamie Cross: I mean, I wasn’t trying to cost ANYBODY the match, I mean what was I meant to do? I didn’t initiate the interaction between myself and Milli Banks, she asked me a question and I gave her an answer – simple. I know that her being distracted could’ve been a vital reason as to why she didn’t win her match against Ms.Extreme, but if we really think about it? That wasn’t my fault. We all know we are meant to keep our eyes on the prize at ALL times, I mean, it’s simple really; Milli Banks just made a slight mistake and wasn’t focused, and as much as I adore her and what she does? Milli losing results in only one person to blame.
Jamie Cross: Herself.
Jamie Cross: Because I can admire someone, and I can respect someone; but one thing I am not going to let happen no matter how much I show my adoration towards you? I won’t be shrunk down and bullied by someone who is hurt by their own actions. I understand WHY she was angry, but what I don’t understand is why she was angry at ME. That was her first clean loss in a very long time; so the emotions surely were at an all time high, but with that being said does that mean everytime Milli Banks is going to lose, she’s going to throw a tantrum? Is that the Milli Banks I’m going to face? Maybe we could all chop it up to her just having a bad day, waking up on the wrong side of the bed type thing – ya’ know? But if this is Milli Banks’s true colors? What can she really do if she doesn’t get her way no matter who is to blame? I’m not going to allow that sort of behavior to come down and affect ME.
Sofia Clarke: That’s a very good outlook on the situation I’d say, but I do have to ask, in the long run; what does this change between you and Milli?
( Jamie shrugs towards Sofia. )
Jamie Cross: Not much, really. I mean at the end of the day? The both of us are going to wrestle for the Specialists Championship; a title that could become my FIRST piece of Gold I could ever obtain in this company! Now as far as our personal connection goes that might be a little shaky; but I have to set my sights PAST this. She had to set her sights PAST this – because right now? I have a date, and I have a place. I have obtained my when and where, and now that I have those? Milli needs to be heads down about focusing on DEFENDING that Championship against me, and leave the past in the past; that’s in her best interest, not mine. Because I know that at the end of the day? I’m going to have an absolute BLAST working on my side plate designs to put on my NEW baby, my lil Championship Child, it’ll be poetic; like the emphatic end to a movie, where the hero wins, and starts the next chapter of their story.
Sofia Clarke: Well you certainly are confident in your abilities going into your match against Milli Banks!
Jamie Cross: I’d like to think so, yeah, I am confident.
Sofia Clarke: Then I suppose that the same energy you have for your match against Milli is relatively the same for your match tonight against Sierra Everett who you’ve had the chance to go back and forth with this week?
Jamie Cross: Ahh right… SiSi. Look, obviously going into our match tonight I’m-
???: Tut tut tut! Not so fast, girlie.
( Like a blade, Jamie’s sentence was cut right as she was about to make her statement about the more relative match she had to worry about on her agenda; and the voice that emitted such interruption made Jamie’s mood drop, knowing the storm that was being behind each word, as Cross put her hands on her knees; standing up to her feet, before turning around, directly into the face of Specialists Champion, Milli Banks. )
Milli Banks: Since we’re clearly allowed to take a couple of business ventures to different brands – I think this is the perfect time to address this little ‘mistake’ we had on Dynasty, don’t you think?
( Milli said with a grin on her face, but there was clear spite behind it; though Jamie holding her ground, crossing her arms as she tilted her head to Milli Banks, both Elitists seeming to match each others energy in one way or another. )
Milli Banks: You know, I just want to make sure allllll input is being put in, so we don’t all just run with ONE story here, mkay? Now I’ll agree with you on one stance, Jamie. You’re right, I took my eye off the ball for far too long, in a match that was far too important for me to even THINK about addressing you; I can take that one on the chin . . . But if you think I’m going to let you sit over there with one leg crossed over the other talking about you having ZERO ill intent with holding a conversation with me mid match? Then you must be REALLY out of the loop with who exactly you’re playing with here, honey.
Jamie Cross: Milli this really isn’t the time —
Milli Banks: I wasn’t finished. And I was saying, CLEARLY you wanted to hold more of a conversation with me then you wanted to be a commentator that night; and for that? I lost against Camille. Every action has an honest and just REACTION though, I suppose.
( Milli said, stepping up closer to Jamie, getting directly in her face. )
Milli Banks: Which is why I don’t regret a damn thing about laying you out when everything was said and done, because I was just giving you EXACTLY what you were owed; I always knew my receipts, Jamie.
( Jamie was clearly being a little irritated by Milli Banks, though in her best efforts, she tried maintaining her composure; as Milli’s grin grew, though she de-escalated the situation for the moment by backing up, the tension however, not getting any less thick in that room. )
Milli Banks: But but but, you did mention something I found to be EXTREMELY crucial. Just like you did? I found out exactly where I am going to be defending my Specialists Championship next.
Milli Banks: Bloodsport.
Milli Banks: And Jamie, because I have some semblance of respect for you? I’m going to tell you to your face now, you are not ready. This Jamie Cross going into Bloodsport, into a title match you hold so near and dear to your heart? Won’t muscle up against what I have consistently been for the past YEAR. You are not ready, so the best option for you right now? Step it up. Get ready, prepare for the Champion that I AM. On Dynasty, I lost to a roll-up; and that has been one of the very few losses I have had in the last 365 days girlie, and that should tell you EVERYTHING you need to know. I’m not a push over, and I’m damn sure not a stepping stool for your own career; so if you truly care about this Championship I’m holding? If you REALLY want to make history for yourself and end this reign of mine? You need to be ten times the Jamie Cross you are today, and then some.
Jamie Cross: Well –
Milli Banks: And even so? For the amount of blood, sweat, and tears I’ve put in just to EARN this title? Maybe just treat this as another learning curve in your career, because I can assure you, you’re not taking this championship away from me.
( Jamie’s eyes brows furrowed, Milli almost making it a point to interrupt her as Cross cautiously waited before responding to make certain that Milli was done speaking; and to that, Milli just raised an eyebrow. )
Milli Banks: Oh, yeah; I’m done now. 😇
( Jamie sighed. )
Jamie Cross: Just had to make sure. See, Milli – I’m not dull. Whether at the end of the day we are friends, adversaries, rivals; I know it will always be in my best interest to acknowledge you for exactly what you are. A mountain mover. A moment maker, someone who can see just about any problem no matter how big it is; and come out on top despite every odd coming against you- that’s who YOU are. And I know that you very well could be the greatest challenge of my career yet, which is why I am standing here in front of you; and I’m not wavering. I’m not worried, because I already know I need to go above and beyond in that ring to take you down, and being intimidated? Being fearful? All I’d be doing by allowing you to get in my head is the biggest disservice I could ever have given myself in my entire career. I want to be Specialists Champion, I want to dethrone Milli Banks, I want to do right by your stellar reign by making sure when I beat you I have a reign twice as good — because if Milli Banks is going to lose she’s going to lose to someone WORTHY of that accolade.
Jamie Cross: I KNOW what’s in store for me at Bloodsport, all I need you to know? Is that I am doing everything I physically can to make sure that you leave Bloodsport empty handed, and I leave? As the new Specialists Champion.
( Jamie Cross had maintained a calm composure, though upon proclaiming herself as the next Specialists Champion, a grin grew on her face as Milli Banks’s cheeky demeanor settled, a serious demeanor being put onto her face as the two opponents stared down, silence filling the room as neither one of them looked away from one each other for the moment; before finally, Milli began to backpedal. )
Milli Banks: Best of luck, you’re gonna need it.
( Jamie nodded, as Milli slowly walked off the set; Jamie’s eyes trailing as she left, with the camera zooming in on Cross and her solemn expression, before transitioning into a commercial break. )
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, featuring a graphic for the Specialists Championship match between Milli Banks and Jamie Cross.)
(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton ringside.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘Mount Everest’ By Labrinth plays to a mixed reaction from fans, and Sierra Everett cockily struts down to the ring, oozing confidence ahead of her match with Jamie Cross, who the fans are firmly behind tonight.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Hailing out of Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing in at 130 pounds…SHE IS THE CROWN JEWEL…SIERRA EVERETT!!!
James Peters: Well, here is Sierra Everett, who mouthed off to Eden Sinclair last week, and as a result, will suffer the consequences, as Eden has reached out to Dynasty for assistance.
Rich Russillo: Eden Sinclair has employed the services of Sienna Jade to help put Sierra Everett in her place, but based off the body language, she doesn’t seem too worried.
Persephone: She can’t be worried, she’s heading into a match, moron.
(‘Anti Hero [Rock Version]’ by Taylor Swift plays next to a far more positive reaction from fans, as Jamie Cross makes her way down to the print after posing on the stage area, all smiles ahead of her match with Everett, who acts very dismissive of Jamie.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent! Hailing out of Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 133 pounds…SHE IS THE IRON WOMAN…JAMIE CROSS!!!
James Peters: Well, Sierra isn’t the only one who has outside things going on, as Jamie Cross walks into this match as our number one contender to the Specialists Championship.
Rich Russillo: Meaning: she is someone that Sierra should not be dismissive over. She should be taking Jamie very seriously.
James Peters: Well, as the match continues, I’m sure she will, as that’s where Sierra will find out exactly what Jamie is made of.
(Both women stare at one another from opposing corners, looking ready as the referee signals the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Alright, the bell has rung, and we are underway. Jamie Cross, Sierra Everett, going one-on-one. Jamie looks to close the distance between herself and Sierra, but Sierra has other plans, rolling out of the ring instead. The crowd in Manchester are letting her have it, but I don’t think she cares.
Rich Russillo: Well, sooner rather than later, Sierra’s going to have to enter the ring, as the referee begins his ten count. However, Jamie Cross doesn’t want to wait, and exits the ring herself! But Sierra rolls back inside, playing mind games with Jamie, who has been in a cat and mouse situation since the bell rang.
James Peters: Jamie goes to slide in, but quickly slides back out once seeing Sierra charge toward her! Jamie baited her in, and grabs Sierra by the ankle, looking to pull her out underneath the bottom rope, and to the outside! Sierra drops to seated position, and reaches through the bottom rope, grabbing a handful of Jamie’s hair, AND CATCHES HER RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES WITH A RIGHT HAND!
Rich Russillo: Jamie drops to a knee, losing her grip on Sierra’s ankle. Sierra slides out underneath the bottom rope now, looking to capitalize! Sierra grabs hold of Jamie’s wrist, and goes to irish whip her in a corner of the barricade! BUT JAMIE REVERSES AT THE LAST MINUTE, SENDING SIERRA BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE INSTEAD!
Persephone: Great, and she’s running away again. 🙄
James Peters: Sierra tries to create seperation, rolling back inside the ring as she saw Jamie approaching. But Jamie is hot on her heels, rolling back inside the ring as well, and backing Sierra into the corner with a couple of right hands! Jamie connects with some stomps, sinking Sierra down to a seated position in the corner. The referee intervenes, backing Jamie away from Sierra momentarily, giving Everett some space.
Rich Russillo: With the sliver of opportunity, Sierra decides to roll back outside the ring, giving herself more separation from Jamie, albeit not for long as Cross heads out to the apron. JAMIE JUMPS OFF WITH A CANNONBALL ONTO SIERRA, WIPING HER OUT RINGSIDE!
James Peters: Jamie favors her back momentarily, but rolls Sierra back inside the ring, and goes for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
James Peters: Kickout at one! Jamie stands Sierra up, and connects with a KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST! Sierra staggers back into the corner, and gets caught with ANOTHER knife edge chop! Jamie directs Sierra to the center of the ring, and snapmares her down to a seated position! JAMIE RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR A STIFF PENALTY KICK TO THE CHEST! Jamie goes for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Persephone: Kickout… meaning: this match rolls on.
Rich Russillo: Jamie rises to her feet, and pulls Sierra up to hers before cracking Sierra with a right hand! Sierra gets knocked back into the corner, and we’re back to a familiar sight as Jamie lands a few stomps on Sierra in the corner, followed by a knife edge chop! SIERRA RETURNS FIRE WITH ONE OF HER OWN, BUT JAMIE RESPONDS WITH AN EVEN HARDER KNIFE EDGE CHOPS, THESE ONES ECHOING THROUGHOUT THE ARENA!
James Peters: With her opponent stunned, Jamie irish whips Sierra to the opposite cor- no! Sierra shifts the momentum, sending Jamie to the corner instead! SIERRA CHARGES IN- BUT RUNS RIGHT INTO A BOOT FROM CROSS! JAMIE HOPS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND PULLS SIERRA INTO A TORNADO DDT! COVER IS MADE!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: Kickout by Sierra! Everett rolls out to the apron, again, trying to create seperation, which she has continued to do throughout this contest, but Jamie remains hot on her heels, not allowing Sierra the time, and right now is no different. Jamie reaches out over the top rope, grabbing hold of Sierra, and pulling her up to a vertical base. BUT SIERRA COUNTERS WITH A HOTSHOT, DROPPING JAMIE THROAT FIRST ACROSS THE TOP ROPE!
James Peters: Jamie goes down briefly, but is back to her feet as Sierra slides back inside the ring. KICK TO THE GUT BY JAMIE CROSS, WHO HOOKS SIERRA UP IN A GORY SPECIAL, AND SPINS HER OUT FOR THE DDT, LOOKING TO COMPLETE ARC REACTOR! BUT WHILE IN THE FRONT FACELOCK, SIERRA LIFTS JAMIE UP, AND TRIES SENDING HER UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Rich Russillo: BUT JAMIE LANDS ON THE APRON, AND TAGS SIERRA WITH A FOREARM STRIKE, STAGGERING HER BACK A BIT! JAMIE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE TOP ROPE! BUT SIERRA DUCKS UNDERNEATH WHATEVER IT IS SHE HAD PLANNED! JAMIE ROLLS THROUGH TO HER FEET, AND BOTH COMPETITORS CHARGE AT ONE ANOTHER!
James Peters: SUPERKICK TO THE GUT BY JAMIE CROSS, DOUBLING SIERRA OVER! PENALTY KICK TO THE CHEST FOLLOWS, JOLTING SIERRA UPRIGHT! JAMIE GOES FOR THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK! BUT SIERRA DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT, AND CATCHES JAMIE WITH A KICK TO THE GUT, THEN PLANTS HER WITH A SPIKE DDT! COVER IS MADE, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: Kickout at two!
Persephone: Finally, Sierra is able to mount some offense after getting her ass kicked by Jamie for a majority of this thing thus far.
Rich Russillo: Hey, when it comes to momentum, it can be hard to stop sometimes, but the thing is: Sierra has just managed to put Jamie’s on ice. Now, let’s see how Jamie does when on the offensive.
James Peters: Jamie wisely rolls out of the ring, but it’s Sierra who follows her, AND SENDS JAMIE BACK FIRST INTO A CORNER OF THE BARRICADE! SIERRA THREW JAMIE WITH SO MUCH FORCE AND MOMENTUM, CROSS HIT SIDEWAYS!
Rich Russillo: Sierra has a dangerous look in her eyes, it appears as if she’s ready to up the intensity here. Jamie gets brought back to her feet, and rammed SPINE FIRST into the LED ringpost, continuing to work on that back some more, which as James mentioned, had a collision with the barricade. Jamie drops to her knees, pain etched across her face, but gets rolled back inside by Sierra Everett.
James Peters: Jamie pulls herself up in the corner, BUT GETS DROPPED TO ALL FOURS WITH A STIFF FOREARM STRIKE! Sierra lines her up, and delivers a devastating kick to the ribs, practically PUNTING Jamie. Sierra takes a moment to taunt the crowd, showing trademark arrogance.
Persephone: She needs to focus on Jamie, who’s getting back up.
Rich Russillo: Jamie uses assistance from the ropes to pull herself up, and once noticing this, Sierra marches toward her. BUT WALKS INTO A RIGHT HAND BY CROSS! SIERRA RESPONDS WITH ONE OF HER OWN! JAMIE BATTLES BACK WITH A FOREARM! SIERRA SAYS TWO CAN PLAY AT THAT GAME, AND LANDS A FOREARM AS WELL!
James Peters: SIERRA GETS CRACKED WITH A FOREARM BY JAMIE, WHO FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP, THEN FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH ANOTHER FOREARM, BACKING SIERRA UP AGAINST THE ROPES FOR AN IRISH WHIP! Sierra reverses, and whips Jamie to the ropes instead! BACK ELBOW BY SIERRA, WHO QUICKLY DROPS INTO A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: Kickout! Jamie jolts up to a seated position, trying to shake the cobwebs out of her head, BUT WITH HER OPPONENT LEFT OPEN, SIERRA LANDS A PENALTY KICK TO THE SPINE! Everett lays Jamie flat for a cover, hooking the leg deep!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
James Peters: Only a one count as Jamie manages to power out! Cross rushes back to her feet, and staggers over to the corner. Sierra closes in, and connects with a right hand! BUT JAMIE RETURNS THE FAVOR FROM BEFORE, CONNECTING WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE JAW OF EVERETT, STAGGERING HER BACK A BIT!
Rich Russillo: Jamie closes in now, and connects with a right hand of her own! Knife edge chop to the chest follows that up! Jamie whips Sierra off the ropes, and was expecting her to come rebounding back, but Sierra hooked both arms on the top rope, halting her momentum! JAMIE CHARGES IN- BUT SIERRA SENDS JAMIE UP AND OVER HER SHOULDER, CAUSING JAMIE TO CRASH FACE FIRST ON THE OUTSIDE IN FRONT OF US!
James Peters: Jamie favors her mouth and nose area while writhing in pain, and Sierra steps out to the apron, BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR A RUNNING SENTON OFF THE APRON, LANDING SQUARE ON JAMIE’S RIBS AND ABDOMEN! Sierra rolls back into the ring, and tells the ref to start counting Jamie out, not caring how she gets the victory, just caring that she gets the victory.
Persephone: Hopefully, Jamie stays down!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Persephone: Cmon, ref! Count faster!
Referee: FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT!
Persephone: NO!
Rich Russillo: Jamie managed to beat the count at eight, using the apron to pull herself up, and roll back inside the ring! Jamie rises to a knee, BUT GETS BLASTED WITH A STEP-UP ENZIGURI BY SIERRA! EVERETT MAKES THE COVER, WASTING NO TIME!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: Kickout at two! Jamie sits up off the canvas, but gets placed in a rear chinlock by Sierra, who’s looking to slow the pace of this match down, and wear her opponent down.
Persephone: She must’ve learnt this tactic from her former stablemate, Ronan Malosi.
Rich Russillo: Sierra grounds Jamie with the rear chinlock, and tells the referee to ask her. Jamie has no intentions of quitting, however, and starts to fuel off the fans energy as they rally behind her, using it to power back to her feet. Jamie breaks the rear chinlock with a couple shots to the ribs, and cracks Sierra in the jaw with a forearm!
James Peters: Irish whip to the corner by Cross! BUT SIERRA COUNTERS, WHIPPING JAMIE INTO THE CORNER WITH ALL HER STRENGTH! Jamie collapses to all fours, favoring her back, which was worked on earlier on. Sierra grabs a handful of Jamie’s hair, pulling her back to a vertical base while trash talking. Jamie gets irish whipped to the opposing corner, BUT SHRUGS IT OFF, AND COMES CHARGING OUT WITH A CLOTHESLINE, TURNING SIERRA INSIDE OUT!
Rich Russillo: Jamie goes down, and is unable to capitalize, beginning to show her wear and tear she’s taken. But with Sierra down, she’s bought herself some time to recuperate, and possibly conjure up what she’s going to do next. Jamie uses the corner to help pull herself back up. Meanwhile, Sierra uses the ropes. Both competitors march toward one another, AND SIERRA TAKES THE FIRST SHOT WITH A FOREARM!
James Peters: JAMIE WITH A FOREARM OF HER OWN! THERES SIERRA WITH A RIGHT HAND! BUT JAMIE HAMMERS SIERRA WITH MULTIPLE FOREARMS IN RESPONSE! SIERRA IS ON WOBBLY LEGS, BUT FIRES OFF WITH A PALM STRIKE! JAMIE IS STAGGERED, BUT COMES BACK WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP, FOLLOWED BY A FOREARM, ALTERNATING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THOSE!
Rich Russillo: JAMIE WHIPS SIERRA OFF THE ROPES! SIERRA COUNTERS, SENDING JAMIE TO THE ROPES INSTEAD! CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT BY SIERRA- BUT JAMIE DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT! JAMIE REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AGAIN, AND ALMOST GETS CAUGHT WITH A BACK ELBOW, SIMILAR TO EARLIER! BUT HAS IT SCOUTED THIS TIME, DUCKING UNDERNEATH THAT AS WELL!
James Peters: JAMIE REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES A THIRD TIME FOR A TILT-A-WHIRL HEADSCISSORS TAKEDOWN! Sierra pulls herself up in the corner, and Jamie rises back to her feet, intensity in her eyes, adrenaline beginning to flow. She is fired up! JAMIE CHARGES IN WITH A BACK ELBOW, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY AN ENZIGURI! SIERRA COMES STAGGERING OUT OF THE CORNER BEFORE COLLAPSING, AND JAMIE SHOOTS THE HALF FOR A COVER!
Persephone: YES! COUNT REF, COUNT!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA GETS THE SHOULDER UP!
Persephone: :madstare: I’m just trying to see Sexy Rexy wrestle, is that too much to ask?!
Rich Russillo: Jamie watches from a knee as Sierra slowly rises to her feet. JAMIE RUNS OFF THE ROPES, AND SENDS SIERRA TUMBLING OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A SINGLE LEG DROPKICK! JAMIE WASTES NO TIME, SLIDING OUT OF THE RING, AND PULLING SIERRA BACK TO HER FEET, SENDING SIERRA GUT FIRST INTO A BARRICADE CORNER!
James Peters: NOW, JAMIE SENDS SIERRA BACK FIRST INTO ANOTHER CORNER OF THE BARRICADE! JAMIE ROLLS SIERRA BACK INSIDE THE RING, AND ROLLS BACK IN HERSELF! SIERRA IS UP TO HER FEET AS JAMIE MAKES IT TO HERS, AND SIERRA LIFTS JAMIE ONTO HER SHOULDERS FOR A FIREMAN CARRY-
Rich Russillo: NO! JAMIE SLIPS OFF THE SHOULDERS, LANDING BEHIND SIERRA, WHO SHE TURNS AROUND FOR A KICK TO THE GUT! SIERRA IS DOUBLED OVER, AND JAMIE PULLS HER IN POSITION FOR A POWERBOMB! BUT AS JAMIE TRIES TO HOIST HER UP, SIERRA BLOCKS IT, DROPPING TO A KNEE!
James Peters: JAMIE CLUBS THE BACK OF SIERRA REPEATEDLY, AND FINALLY LIFTS HER UP IN POSITION FOR THE JAMIE SPECIAL, THAT RUNNING CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB INTO THE CORNER! JAMIE STARTS BUILDING MOMENTUM, BUT SIERRA SLIPS OUT BEHIND JAMIE, WHO HALTS HER MOMENTUM, AND TURNS AROUND AS SIERRA CHARGES TOWARDS HER!
Rich Russillo: SUPERKICK! EVERETT RAN RIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK, AND JAMIE HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHH-
Rich Russillo: KICKOUT AT TWO! Now, you can see the gears beginning to turn in Jamie’s head, realizing that the superkick didn’t keep Sierra down for a three, but she might have an idea as to what will.
James Peters: Jamie is lining Sierra up as she slowly returns to her feet, and lifts her into the gory special, SETTING UP FOR-
Persephone: ARC REACTOR! THIS IS IT!
James Peters: SIERRA WIGGLES HER ARMS FREE, AND COUNTERS WITH A SUNSET FLIP! BUT JAMIE ROLLS THROUGH TO HER FEET, AND GRABS SIERRA BY THE ANKLE, ROLLING EVERETT BACK TO HERS! SIERRA STAGGERS BACK INTO THE CORNER, AND JAMIE RUSHES IN!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA SIDE STEPS WHATEVER JAMIE HAD PLANNED, AND JAMIE GOES TO SPRING OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE! BUT SIERRA CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK TO JAMIE’S CALF MUSCLE, HANGING HER UP ON THE MIDDLE ROPE FOR A BACKSTABBER! SIERRA DRAGS JAMIE AWAY FROM THE ROPES FOR A COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR-
James Peters: ALMOST HAD HER, BUT JAMIE POPS THE SHOULDER UP! Sierra pounds the mat in anger, showing signs of frustration, but reels herself in, pulling Jamie back to her feet, and lifting her up in a torture rack position. Sierra wants to end this match with Sleepy Hollow, BUT JAMIE BACKFLIPS OFF HER SHOULDERS, LANDING ON HER FEET!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA GETS CAUGHT WITH A FOREARM! BUT EVERETT RETURNS FIRE WITH ONE OF HER OWN! JUMPING KNEE STRIKE CONNECTS BY JAMIE, PUTTING SIERRA ON SPAGHETTI LEGS! BUT SIERRA IS ABLE TO RESPOND WITH A SUPERKICK, TURNING JAMIE AROUND, WHO LANDS A PELE KICK!
James Peters: BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN, AND WHOEVER GETS TO THEIR FEET FIRST WILL HAVE A MAJOR ADVANTAGE OVER THE OTHER!
Persephone: Hopefully, neither make it to their feet, and the referee rules this a no contest!
Rich Russillo: Well, Persephone, I’m sorry to say, but both competitors are beginning to stir. Sierra pulls herself up in the corner, AND JAMIE CHARGES INTO HER WITH A RUNNING HIGH KNEE! JAMIE RUNS TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER, LOOKING TO BOUNCE OFF FOR MOMENTUM! BUT SIERRA IS HOT ON HER HEELS, AND CATCHES JAMIE WITH A RUNNING STEP-UP KNEE STRIKE IN THE CORNER!
James Peters: SIERRA TRIES TRANSITIONING INTO A RUNNING BULLDOG, BUT JAMIE SHOVES HER OFF, AND SIERRA LANDS RIGHT ON HER TAILBONE! EVERETT IS QUICKLY BACK TO HER FEET, WINCING IN PAIN, AND JAMIE SEES AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHARGE! BUT RUNS RIGHT INTO A SPANISH FLY BY EVERETT, USING CROSS’ OWN MOMENTUM AGAINST HER! SIERRA HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE-
Persephone: IS THIS MATCH EVER GONNA END?!
Rich Russillo: OH, IT WILL, JUST NOT YET AS JAMIE STILL HAS SOME FIGHT LEFT IN HER! Sierra’s gonna look to extinguish said fight, however, as she climbs to the top rope! BUT JAMIE CUTS HER OFF WITH A RUNNING FOREARM! JAMIE CLIMBS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND HOOKS SIERRA UP FOR A SUPERPLEX!
James Peters: BUT SIERRA! SIERRA HAS A FIRM GRASP ON THE TOP ROPE, BLOCKING ANY PLANS THAT JAMIE MAY HAVE, AND SIERRA FIGHTS OUT OF THE SUPERPLEX ATTEMPT WITH SHOTS TO THE RIB CAGE! SIERRA BOUNCES JAMIE FACE FIRST OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, DOUBLING HER OVER, AND SIERRA SCORES WITH AN AVALANCHE SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!
Rich Russillo: BUT SIERRA ISNT DONE, AND CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE ONCE AGAIN, DIVING OFF WITH A FROG SPLASH ONTO JAMIE! SIERRA HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE-
James Peters: AND SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, JAMIE CROSS KICKS OUT! Jamie rolls out underneath the bottom rope, and collapses down to all fours, struggling to breath off that frog splash. Sierra can’t believe that Jamie kicked out of that wicked combination, and rolls out of the ring, going after her. Sierra directs Jamie in front of our announcer’s table, AND TRIES HOISTING JAMIE UP FOR A SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: BUT JAMIE BLOCKS IT, AND SHIFTS THE MOMENTUM WITH A ROLLING RELEASE SUPLEX ONTO OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE COVER! SIERRA WRITHES IN PAIN IN FRONT OF US, BUT JAMIE PULLS HER OFF OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE, AND ROLLS HER BACK INSIDE THE RING!
James Peters: JAMIE HOPS UP ON THE APRON, AND ONCE SIERRA GETS TO HER FEET, SLINGSHOTS THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A SPEAR! SIGNATURE MOVE THERE BY CROSS, WHO GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: SIERRA EVERETT GETS THE SHOULDER UP! JAMIE CANT BELIEVE IT, BUT SIGNALS TO THE CROWD THAT SHES LOOKING TO END THIS THING, AND WITH THAT THE STATE THAT SIERRA LOOKS TO BE IN, I DONT DOUBT THAT SHES ON HER LAST LEGS! JAMIE LOOKS TO STAND SIERRA UP FOR THE ARC REACT-
(‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj feat. Lil Wayne plays to a loud reaction from fans, who realize that things are heating up as Milli Banks saunters down the ramp, holding the Specialists Title over her shoulder. Jamie struggles on who she should turn her attention to between Sierra and Milli, but ultimately decides on Banks, the two exchanging words as Milli gets ringside, and Jamie gets in fighting stance, welcoming for Banks to enter the ring.)
James Peters: THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION, MILLI BANKS, IS HERE! AND IF THINGS WERENT INTERESTING BEFORE, THEY CERTAINLY ARE NOW!
Rich Russillo: BUT FROM BEHIND! SIERRA EVERETT ROLLS JAMIE UP WITH A SCHOOL GIRL, AND LOOK! THIS IS THE EXACT SAME THING THAT HAPPENED ON DYNASTY!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERES YOUR WINNER… SIERRA EVERETT!!
(‘Mount Everest’ By Labrinth plays to a negative reaction from fans, and Sierra throws both fist in the air, clearly pleased that the match ended her way. Jamie sits up, disappointed and shocked that she lost the match. Meanwhile, Milli is smiling at this, enacting her revenge from Dynasty.)
Persephone: Thank God for Milli Banks!
James Peters: Milli Banks just helped Sierra score the victory over Jamie Cross, who looked to have things well in hand, and Sierra is celebrating this as if she earned it!
Rich Russillo: Tonight was what we call a receipt carried out by Milli Banks, getting a measure of revenge from Dynasty.
(Jamie turns angry at being cost the match, and slides out underneath the bottom rope, making a beeline towards Milli, who drops her title to fight.)
James Peters: WELL, I COULDVE TOLD YOU THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!
Rich Russillo: JAMIE! MILLI! BOTH WOMEN ENGAGING IN A HOCKEY FIGHT RINGSIDE!
James Peters: AND LOOK INSIDE THE RING, SIERRA IS FINDING THIS ALL ENTERTAINING!
Rich Russillo: LEFTS AND RIGHTS ARE BEING THROWN BY BOTH WOMEN! BUT MILLI GETS THE ADVANTAGE OVER JAMIE, SENDING HER BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE AT THE END OF OUR RAMP AREA!
James Peters: MILLI CLOSES IN, BUT GETS CAUGHT WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION BY CROSS! JAMIE CONNECTS WITH A RIGHT HAND, SENDING MILLI STAGGERING UP THE RAMP!
Rich Russillo: JAMIE CATCHES UP TO HER, AND GOES TO SLAM MILLI FACE FIRST INTO THE MINI-TRON! BUT MILLI GETS HER HANDS UP, BLOCKING THE ATTEMPT BY JAMIE, AND DOUBLING HER OVER WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE ABDOMEN, AND SLAMS HER FACE FIRST INTO THE MINI TRON INSTEAD!
James Peters: JAMIE STAGGERS TO THE BACKSTAGE AREA, BUT MILLI IS IN HOT PURSUIT, CLUBBING JAMIE ACROSS THE BACK AS THEY DISAPPEAR FROM VIEW!
(The camera cuts back to Sierra Everett, still laughing after watching both women duke it out. But Sierra laughter quickly dies down once looking at the titantron, and seeing someone standing on the apron behind her, causing Sierra to snap around.)
Persephone: HEY, WHAT THE-
James Peters: OH MY GOD! SIENNA JADE SPRINGED OFF THE TOP ROPE, AND CRASHED INTO SIERRA EVERETT WITH A DROPKICK! RAW SIENNA TURNS EVERETT INSIDE OUT!
Rich Russillo: WE SAW HER CUT A DEAL WITH THE DYNASTY GENERAL MANAGER, TYRONE MONTGOMERY, TO CARRY OUT A FAVOR FOR EDEN SINCLAIR, AND PUT SIERRA IN HER PLACE!
James Peters: WELL, LOOKS LIKE SHES SENDING A MESSAGE EARLY! BUT ISNT DONE OFF RAW SIENNA, AND TURNS SIERRA OVER, MOUNTING HER WITH PUNCHES IN BUNCHES!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA CANT EVEN COVER UP, HAVING BEEN THROUGH A HELLACIOUS MATCH, AND JUST HAVING BEEN CAUGHT WITH THAT SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK!
James Peters: SIENNA PULLS SIERRA UP, HAVING A FISTFUL OF HAIR, AND PLANTS HER IN THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH RDG! THAT BRIDGING FISHERMAN SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA IS OUT- BUT SIENNA WANTS TO INFLICT FURTHER DAMAGE, LIFTING HER UP FOR ANOTHER RDG!
(Sienna rises to her feet, and stands over a downed Sierra Everett, who is barely moving on the canvas.)
James Peters: Well, if the goals was to make a statement, Sienna certainly just did. Eden Sinclair has sicked quite the competitor on Sierra Everett.
(Sienna Jade smugly smiles as ‘Unfuckwithable’ by Deez Nuts blares throughout the arena, and the camera cuts backstage to Eden Sinclair, who is watching this on a monitor, crossing her arms, and impressed with what Sienna just did, carrying an equally smug smile on her face as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(Commercial for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, now on Disney+!)
(Voltage returns from break and ‘I Rise’ by Cory Marks hits, and the fans in the arena immediately begin cheering loudly. Before long Donovan Duke begins storming out, and as expected he doesn’t look happy at all following last week’s events, where Ruler got involved in his match against Jack Ripley. Donovan is holding a microphone in his hand, walking straight down the ramp and towards the ring with one of his three Bloodsport opponents clearly on his mind.)
James Peters: Donovan Duke had a great match against Jack Ripley last week, but unfortunately it didn’t really end as decisively as I’m sure either competitor would have really liked. Ruler got involved with the match, using his mist on Donovan which ultimately caused his undoing.
Rich Russillo: Donovan is taking part in the huge fatal four way EAW World Championship match that’s happening at Bloodsport, and I’m not entirely sure why Ruler did what he did, but if I had to guess he was sending a message to one of his opponents in that match.
(Donovan walks up the steel steps before entering the ring, just shaking his head as he thinks about what Ruler did to him.)
Persephone: Do we really have to listen to this guy speak? I think we already saw enough of Donovan last week to last this entire season.
(The fans are still cheering, but Donovan begins speaking immediately.)
Donovan Duke: Cut the music. As much as I appreciate the support I’m getting right now, this isn’t the time for that.
(‘I Rise’ quickly dies down, and the fans begin to quiet down as well, giving Donovan the chance to continue.)
Donovan Duke: Last week I had the chance to start my season with two things. The first was the opportunity to walk down to this ring and state that I wanted the EAW World Championship, and the second was the opportunity to face and defeat Jack Ripley. I got what I wanted at the start of the night. I gained a shot at the EAW World Championship, and if I’m capable of defeating my three opponents Bloodsport will end with the beginning of my very first World Championship reign. That was huge and it’s safe to say I walked into my match against Jack Ripley in a pretty good mood all things considered. I was in high spirits and when it comes down to it I do believe I had what it took to defeat Jack Ripley. I do believe I was capable of ending my night with both a World Championship opportunity and a victory over a former World Champion and Hall of Famer, but now we’ll never know what I was capable of last week. Now we’ll never know whether or not I could have defeated Jack Ripley. You all know how I am. I’m not the type to make excuses for my losses, and even with what happened I’m willing to accept that Jack Ripley got the better of me… But what I’m not willing to do is ignore Ruler interfering and spraying that mist at me.
(This gets a loud reaction from the fans, though there are many boos coming from the crowd, all directed towards Ruler and his actions last week.)
Donovan Duke: I’m not the only Elitist competing in the EAW World Championship match at Bloodsport. I’m far from Ruler’s only future opponent, but I’m clearly the first that he planned to use for the sake of sending a message. I guess that’s just what I get for expecting better. I shared the ring with the guy as recently as Pain for Pride and I was willing to acknowledge just how talented he is, yet behind all of that talent is clearly a man too cowardly to do things the right way. Behind the man capable of winning the New Breed Championship against one of the participants in this fatal four way is someone that has to rely on sneak attacks and cheap shots just to get ahead. What did you gain, Ruler? What did spraying that mist in my face actually do for you? What message could you have possibly sent last week, because if that was supposed to be a warning to me or even Alex and Drake, I’m sure it fell on deaf ears. I know better than to expect either of them to start backing down because you interfered with a match, and as for me..? I’m not scared of you. In fact, I actually want you to come out here right now.
(The fans begin cheering loudly, and a smirk finally appears on Donovan Duke’s face as he turns towards the stage.)
Donovan Duke: I didn’t have a problem with you after Pain for Pride. We all wanted the Cash in the Vault briefcase and in the end neither of us managed to win it. I moved on and I was more than willing to walk into Bloodsport simply seeing you as a talented Elitist I’ll need to overcome, but clearly that’s changed. That respect that I thought was shared between the two of us clearly deteriorated as soon as we crossed paths on Sunday night. Whatever happened last week is a problem that needs to be settled, and I’m more than willing to do that right now. We don’t have to wait until Bloodsport if this is the kind of game you want to play. It’s up to you Ruler, because you know me. I’m not the kind to go down quietly, so when you start a fight with me you better be more than ready to finish it. Either way I’m here, so whether you like it or not we’re going to settle-
(‘The Perfect Girl’ by Mareux hits, interrupting Donovan. The fans begin booing, and while the reaction is normally more mixed, the fans aren’t in support of Ruler’s actions against a fan favorite like Donovan Duke. Ruler begins to slowly walk out, and he’s also holding a microphone in his hand. He stands at the top of the stage, staring at Donovan before beginning to speak.)
Ruler: I warned Alex last week that a mistake was being made standing in my way of the EAW World Championship. Did you really believe the same didn’t apply to you?
(The fans continue to boo as Ruler walks down the ramp.)
James Peters: Ruler is heading down to the ring from the looks of it, but I’m not so sure that’s a great idea right now. For all we know, we may end up having a fight on our hands.
Persephone: That’d actually make things interesting.
Rich Russillo: Donovan clearly isn’t happy with what happened last week, but I’m not too sure about Ruler. Why did he do that?
(Ruler walks up the steel steps, standing on the apron before continuing.)
Ruler: You understood that there was a warning. Did none of it mean anything to you?
Donovan Duke: Right. I guess I should’ve expected you to interfere with a match that didn’t involve you in any way.
(Ruler ignores the sarcasm from Donovan, finally entering the ring.)
Ruler: Look at it like this, Donovan. You knew what you were getting yourself into. You’re preparing to enter a match against myself, Alex Myers, and Drake King. Did you really believe that it’d be as simple as you taking this opportunity and moving on? No. You’re standing in the way of three people who all want to leave Bloodsport as the EAW World Champion, including the winner of the match himself, me. You decided you wanted to stand in my way and be one of the people attempting to stop me from taking that World Championship. In turn I simply made sure you understood exactly who you were messing with. You weren’t just interfering with anyone’s career, Donovan. You decided to become my opponent, so I’m going to treat you like that. I’m going to make sure you’re not a threat to me, even if it means making sure you understand you can’t stop me far before we enter the ring next month. That’s what you asked for when you walked out here last week and decided that you wanted to interfere after Alex already decided they wanted to get in the way. Don’t be surprised now.
Donovan Duke: Alright. I get it. I understand exactly what you’re saying, I just hope you realize I’m not going to forget that mist ever happened and move on like it’s no big deal. I’m not the type of person that’s afraid of a fight. If someone steps up to me I’ll always be more than happy to give them what they want, and as far as I’m concerned that’s exactly what you did last week. I get you have a match of your own later tonight that you probably want to enter at your one hundred percent, but why should I give you that opportunity when you didn’t even allow me to finish my match against Jack before showing your face? Since this is how we’re treating each other, why don’t I give you a taste of your own medicine and lay you out before you even have the chance to face Jamie?
(Donovan walks up to Ruler as the fans cheer, and the two men stand face to face. Ruler doesn’t back down, instead staring directly at Donovan as he begins to speak.)
Ruler: That’s just it, Donovan. If you really want to settle this right here and right now, I’m right in front of you. I’ll give you what I want and I’ll still be walking into my match against Jamie O’Hara ready to defeat him, because I won’t be the man that needs to be helped out of the arena. I won’t be the man left on a stretcher because he can’t even walk up the ramp on his own. If you want a fight then understand this, I didn’t join the Voltage roster to mess around with any of you. I’m not here to play mind games, or to tell jokes. I made my intentions clear at the start of the season, before both you and Alex. I said that I wanted the EAW World Championship, and if you really believe I was ever going to allow anyone to get in the way of me doing that, you clearly weren’t listening. I’ll do what’s necessary in order to become Champion, and if “necessary” means destroying whoever’s in my path, then I’m sure you can figure out exactly what I’ll do. If it’s a fight you want it’s a fight you get, and when you fail to walk out of here on your own two feet you’ll have all the time in the world to stare at the lights and wonder why you made such a terrible choice.
(The fans boo, and Ruler speaks up once more, beginning to ask a question.)
Ruler: So Donovan, are you sure you want to do this right now? Do you really want to fight me at a time like this?
(Donovan takes a few seconds, as if he’s thinking about his options, before a grin appears on his face.)
Donovan Duke: Yeah. I do.
James Peters: AND DONOVAN SWINGS AT-
(Just before Donovan could strike and a fight could break out between the two men in the ring, ‘Soundtrack 2 My Life’ by Kid Cudi hits, catching the attention of Donovan, Ruler, and everyone in the crowd. All of the fans in the arena begin cheering, and the two men in the ring hesitantly turn their attention towards the stage as Alex Myers begins walking out with a microphone in their hand. Alex doesn’t look too pleased by what’s going on in the ring, and doesn’t waste much time walking down the ramp and towards the ring.)
James Peters: Alex Myers has clearly been watching everything that’s gone down with Ruler and Donovan, but I’m not too sure what they’ll have to say right now. Things seem to be heating up with two of the competitors in this fatal four way, and Alex’s arrival is the only reason we haven’t seen a fight yet!
Rich Russillo: Yeah, and despite what Ruler said, it might be for the best that these two didn’t fight given the fact that Ruler will be facing one of the greatest to ever do it in the main event later tonight. This is not the time for this.
Persephone: ???? This is DEFINITELY the time for this! You think I’m actually interested in seeing those two wrestle? I just want to watch Rexy tonight, I don’t need any more matches!
(Alex enters the ring as Ruler and Donovan stare at each other before turning back to them, and Alex looks towards Donovan before beginning to speak.)
Alex Myers: I hope you understand that fighting now won’t really accomplish anything. You two can feel free to settle your differences by tearing each other apart right now, but while you’re doing that, I’ll be here waiting for the moment that I’m able to call myself a World Champion. See, all of this doesn’t matter. All this fighting over a month in advance, it’s not necessary when all three of us know exactly what’s on the line here. It’s not just about pride or not being willing to let anyone walk all over us. We’re all fighting for the opportunity to become World Champion, and I don’t know about the two of you, but to me becoming a World Champion is a far bigger priority than fighting like kids. You two questioned me as if you wanted the EAW Championship more than me, and right now it’s hard to say either of you have been backing your words up.
(Alex turns towards Ruler.)
Alex Myers: What’s next, Ruler? Are you going to keep spraying us with mist until Bloodsport comes around? Are we going to keep having to deal with you as you keep trying to send messages at our expense? You can try as hard as you want to make a statement, but eventually we’re all going to have to face each other and when it happens none of these “statements” will mean anything. What will matter is what we’re capable of at Bloodsport, and when I’m capable of defeating you, Donovan and Drake, what would all of this be for? What would be the point of coming out last week and costing Donovan his match against Jack?
Ruler: Like I said to Donovan. I showed him who he’ll be entering the ring with. This is no game, and Alex you know better than most exactly what that means.
Alex Myers: You’re right. I know what you’re capable of when you really set your sights on something, but I also know when you’re digging your own grave and throwing yourself into a situation that won’t favor you. First you demanded an EAW World Championship match, forgetting that there were countless people in the back that’d love the exact same opportunity. You then chose to screw Donovan over for no reason but to give him a “preview”. This is starting to look like one of those situations, Ruler. This whole mess is going to result in your failure, and when that happens you won’t have anyone to blame but yourself. You two can get back to doing what you were before, but while you’re spending the next month tearing each other apart and making sure you enter Bloodsport in pieces, I’ll be preparing myself for one of my biggest matches yet.
(Alex turns away and begins to leave, but they’re grabbed by the arm. Alex turns back, and it surprisingly turns out to be Donovan that stopped them.)
Donovan Duke: Alex, as someone that’s had the chance to get to know me very well over the last season, do you really believe things will be this simple?
(Alex remains silent, allowing Donovan to continue.)
Donovan Duke: Don’t get confused, I firmly believe Ruler deserves to be punched in the face after what he did to me, but that doesn’t mean I’ve lost sight of what’s most important here. Just like the two of you I want the EAW World Championship, and just like I’ve been able to recognize that I’ll have to get past Ruler in order to win it, I know that I’ll have to get past you as well. Know this, Alex. One of us will leave Bloodsport as the EAW World Champion, but I’ll be spending that night making sure it’s me. I have so much respect for you and you know that Alex, but you’re not going to get your moment like this. If you want that Championship as badly as I do, then you’ll have to take it from me rather than hoping Ruler takes me off your hands.
(A smile appears on Alex’s face.)
Alex Myers: I hope so. I want the best out of you at Bloodsport. It’s not all that often I’m facing friends in Championship matches, especially World Championship matches, but with you and Ruler as my Bloodsport opponents there’s no reason for me not to look forward to this.
Ruler: And when things don’t go your way?
Alex Myers: ?
(Alex turns to Ruler, a bit confused by his words.)
Ruler: When you don’t defeat me and you’re unable to become the EAW World Champion, what happens next? I’ve seen you come back from failures all throughout your career, Alex. Will this be one of them?
Alex Myers: You know I’ve come back from worse, but I don’t intend to find out what’ll come from my failure, because I don’t intend to fail at all. I know that I can defeat you Ruler.
Ruler: Do you? We know each other very well, even more than you and Donovan know each other, but when it comes to our capabilities inside of the ring we’re clearly not on the same page. Remember this, Alex. I held no ill will towards Donovan in the past, and yet I was willing to do what I did to him once I realized he was in the way of my victory. Even you, my friend, are an opponent. You’re someone I’ll eventually have to-
Alex Myers: Yeah I know, and I’ll be ready.
(Just then, ‘Footsteps of Doom’ by KOHTA YAMAMOTO hits. The three Elitists in the ring all understand what this means as they look at the stage, and as the fans cheer, the EAW World Champion Drake King would begin walking out, looking like a fashion icon. His Championship is around his waist and he has a microphone in his hand, and while he stops at the stage, he doesn’t begin speaking. Instead he just stares at the Elitists in the ring with a grin on his face, before just shaking his head and laughing.)
James Peters: I guess it was only a matter of time before these three caught the attention of the EAW World Champion, although I don’t think Drake is very impressed by what’s happened between them since their last encounter.
Rich Russillo: Drake is making his way down the ramp now, and he’s basically had the opportunity to sit back and watch how things have unfolded between his challengers over the past two weeks.
Persephone: Yeah and he should’ve kept sitting back and watching. Literally nobody asked for him to walk out here. Why is he here?
(Drake centers the ring, where he faces his three challengers for the EAW World Championship. Drake looks at all three Elitists, beginning to speak as his entrance music dies down.)
Drake King: First things first…
(Drake turns his attention to Alex Myers, and a look of disgust appears on your face.)
Drake King: Shorts and leggings, is that really what you wrestle in?
Alex Myers: :comeagain:
Drake King: Seriously, what are you wearing??? Your Messiah would never.
(Drake just shakes his head before moving on.)
Drake King: if it helps, it’s not just you that could learn a thing or two from me, Alex. In fact, this ring is FULL of people that could only wish to compare to your God, and the closest you three could realistically come to achieving that is fighting for my Championship in a losing effort… All in a match that I made myself :mjlol:. See, while two of you are busy fighting amongst yourselves and Alex is busy struggling to put together an outfit, it seems that the most important part of all this has slipped your minds. It’s not about how badly any of you want the EAW World Championship, or about what you’ll be willing to do to each other whether it be over the next month or at Bloodsport. It’s not about you at all! Seriously, do you three REALLY think you’re going to be winning this match?? I get you all tend to set some terribly unrealistic expectations for yourselves and more often than not you fall flat on your faces thanks to the promises you’ve made, but don’t you think this is a little ridiculous, even for you?
(Ruler steps up to Drake before beginning to speak.)
Ruler: The only thing ridiculous about all of this is the fact that you really think you’ll be able to walk out here and make light of your three challengers for the second week in a row. You’re staring at the end of your Championship reign right now, and every second you spend out here laughing is going to come back to haunt you once this is all over and I’ve become the EAW World Champion. This obsession everyone seems to have with ignoring what’s truly at stake here is baffling, but I guess that’s what comes with an inflated ego. You don’t know what you’ll be up against at Bloodsport, Drake. You have no idea what’s in store for you, and it’s unfortunate really, because if you did, maybe you’d be able to rethink all of this. Maybe you’d be able to start taking this match a bit more seriously, and giving your challengers the respect they need before it’s too late. It’s not too late, Drake. I can always make sure you leave the ring tonight looking like Donovan did last week, maybe then you’d start using your head.
(A smirk appears on Drake’s face as he looks at Donovan.)
Drake King: Right. What’d he do to you again, Donovan 🤔? He used that mist against you, right? The same kind that Minerva used for years before Ruler even stepped foot in this company?
Donovan Duke: He did, and he’ll pay for that soon enough, but like I told Alex, I haven’t lost sight of the bigger picture. This is about that Championship around your waist above all else. When this ends it won’t be because I got payback against Ruler, it’ll be because I managed to win my first Championship. That’s why I called Ruler out now instead of waiting for the right moment. I want to get this over with as soon as possible so I can move on and regain complete focus on that Championship. I’ve faced you before, Drake. I know what you’re made of. I’ve even competed against you with the EAW World Championship on the line. A lot has changed in the past two years, but what hasn’t changed is that I’ll always be willing to step up to those at the very top, no matter who you are. Right now it’s you, and I’ll take that Championship. Who knows, maybe Ruler and I can settle the score in a one on one match after the fact.
(Donovan and Ruler stare at each other for a moment, and Drake just begins to speak.)
Drake King: :mjgrin: Whatever you say! See personally I think it’s pretty sad that you were in that position in the first place, but I get it! Not everyone has the ability to put away someone like Jack Ripley before any of that could go down in the first place just like not everyone has the ability to send a message worth listening to without the use of some mist! It’s perfectly fine, as long as you two understand that you’re way better off spending the next month fighting amongst yourselves than worrying about a Championship you’ll never win! You two could even have a series of matches with each other. I’m sure that’d benefit the two of you more than this Bloodsport match will. Even if you’ll be in the ring with God himself, it’s not like you’ll actually be accomplishing anything besides the exact same thing you guys usually do. A loss at Bloodsport isn’t really anything different from Pain for Pride, or Grand Rampage, or basically any other significant matches of yours. I was generous enough to grant you all this opportunity, but some of you should really start learning where your ceilings are!
Alex Myers: Give it a rest, Drake. We’ve heard enough.
(This time it’s Alex that stares at Drake, and Drake remains silent, allowing them to continue.)
Alex Myers: I get it. You want to keep playing up to this idea that we’re not at your level. You want to keep pushing us into a box and holding onto your chances of victory as if it’s the only possible outcome of this match, and even you have to know how ridiculous this all is. It’s a fatal four way against three Elitists who’ve already risen to great heights in the time we’ve been here. We want more and we’ve already shown that we’re willing to put in the effort to accomplish more, so what’s the purpose of all this? Are you really so delusional that you believe Bloodsport will be as easy as defeating us all at the same time, or are you just trying to convince yourself it’ll be that easy to distract from the mistake you made last week. You put that Championship on the line against all of us. The Elitist that wants it the most will find a way to win. When you’re in the ring with talent like us, who’s to say that ends up being you? What’s stopping your Championship reign from ending at Bloodsport?
(There’s a brief silence from the two Elitists before the smirk once again appears on Drake’s face.)
Drake King: Me. I’m stopping it from ending. I thought you all would start to understand eventually, but clearly you all need to work on more than just your fashion sense! Even on your best day you won’t touch this title, not as long as I’m holding it! It’s not because I want to ignore the future of the business or push you all into a box or something silly like that, it’s because I’m God and you’re just you! You’re Alex Myers, the kid with one of the worst wrestling attires I’ve seen in my entire life. I’ve already spent Donovan’s entire career winning against him and I’ve seen enough Ruler’s to know that your friend here isn’t anything new. This Championship isn’t going anywhere as long as I’m the one holding onto it, and when you three are my challengers, it’s almost like I’m not defending the title at all. Bloodsport’s ending the same way Pain for Pride did, just with far inferior opponents. I’m the EAW World Champion for the greater good of this business. Get used to it! :drakelike:
(Drake turns and steps through the ropes, walking back down the steel steps as ‘Footsteps of Doom’ hits once more. Drake has a smile on his face and is still wearing his Championship around his waist, and while his three opponents are still in the ring, none of them look satisfied. Alex Myers is seen staring at Drake, beginning to speak away from their microphone.)
Alex Myers: (off-mic) We’ll see about that, Drake. Just one more month.
(As Alex watches as Drake walks up the ramp, Donovan and Ruler stare directly at each other, clearly still holding onto their issues from last week.)
James Peters: It looks like these four got to speak their mind even more compared to last week, however I can’t help but wonder what’ll happen going forward. Each week it feels like I’m left with even more questions, and one of my questions right now is in regards to Donovan and Ruler. Ruler started this mess between them last week, but has it ended with this conversation?
Rich Russillo: We’ll just have to wait and see. Right now everyone in this match has one thing they have in common, and it’s that they all believe they have what it takes to win at Bloodsport and leave that match as the EAW World Champion.
Persephone: Can’t wait… So glad I have to keep seeing these four wrestle. 🙄
(As Drake walks up the ramp and Alex, Donovan and Ruler are all seen in the ring, Voltage begins to fade away from ringside and into a commercial break.)
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where POTARA defends the Unified Tag Team Championships against the Off-Brand Amphetamines.)
( As the Manchester crowd awaited the next match up, ‘Stronger ( salu remix )’ , by The Score blasted through the arena which made the fans in the arena UPROAR with cheers, as Rex McAllister made his way down to the ring; dawning his usual black wrestling tights, though uniquely wearing a new piece of merchandise of his own from the EAW Store, which was currently running a discount for anyone that used code; ‘Rex32’ in the shop to knock off a quick 33% off any merchandise order – what a deal! Rex would continue making his way down to the ring, tossing a couple high fives to the fans reaching out to him before making his way down the ramp and into the ring quickly, standing in the center as he soaked up the spotlight; a grin firmly on his face as he finally backed into his corner, awaiting his opponent to make their entrance. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST… FROM SEA ISLE, NEW JERSEY… WEIGHING IN AT 238 POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE LIONHEART’… REXXXXXX MCCCCALLLISSTTTERRRRRRR!!!!!
Persephone: DADDY REXY!!!!!!!! :blessed:
James Peters: And here we go . . .Yes, Rex McAllister making his way to the ring in a match that could shake the foundations of Season 16 as we know it; and yet, we get it on just ANOTHER Episode of Voltage! This is the brand we’ve curated, to have once in a life time matches during a weekly episode of the Yellow Brand’s show; Dynasty and Showdown beware, we are doing something SPECIAL!
Rich Russillo: Calm down James, Territorial Invasion is still a few months from now, we can’t flex on the other brands just yet . . .Or can we? :mjlit: We are truly being gifted a Once In a Lifetime encounter here, Rex McAllister against Cameron Ella Ava; and right now? It seems like Rex is entering this bout determined as ever!
Persephone: Well, obviously. My Sexy Rexy will never back down from any fight; because that is just the type of man he is! I expect nothing less than a huge win, and after he gets that win? I will get inside that ring and bow down to the man sculpted like a Greek GAWD… Whew, is it getting hot in here?
Rich Russillo: No, but you seriously need to talk to someone about these fantasi-
Persephone: THEY AREN’T FANTASIES, RICH – GOODNESS.
Rich Russillo: Oh look, it’s Raven Roberts!
Persephone: WHAT, WHERE?!
Rich Russillo: :mjgrin:
( As ‘ Stronger ‘ faded out, ‘ Good For Her ‘ by MOTHICA began to blast through the arena; making an entirely opposite reaction come from the fans as boo’s came down from the stands before Cameron Ella Ava could even BEGIN to come out; though finally, Cameron was able to face the criticism from the SMHU arena, though it didn’t seem like a single opinion from the fans affected her in the slightest as a devious smirk was firm on her face, poise in her demeanor; as she stared down Rex, analyzing her opponent as she stopped in front of the ramp for a moment; raising her hand over her moment as she did her signature hip twirl, appeasing a certain demographic and boosting the current viewership of Voltage TEN-FOLD! Finally though, Cameron made her way down the ramp, dodging the grimy hands reaching out for her as she made her way to the ring and climbed up the apron, before coming through the middle rope; raising both her hands out as she twirled into the center of the ring, soaking in the attention and spotlight; before finally backing into her corner, renewing the staredown she previously had with Rex, as the two awaited the bell. )
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT… FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA… WEIGHING IN AT 140 POUNDS… SHE IS ‘THE CENTERPIECE’… CCAAAAMMMERROONNNNN EELLLAAAAA AAAAAAVVVVVVAAAA!!!!!
Rich Russillo: And that same determination just leaking off of Rex, is matched with Cameron Ella Ava; if not TESTED by her! She has a mission tonight, she made it clear last week she is shooting for the top spot, and if that means going through Rex McAllister? I’m sure she has zero problem with it.
James Peters: Agreed, she knows that if she wants to make a resurgence that would make the slight errors she had leading to a loss against Sienna Jade at Pain For Pride look worthless? Winning here is PIVOTAL. She always has her way of keeping her cool in high stress situations, and I feel like this is no different to her than any other match; because the only thing she has planned here? Is WINNING.
Persephone: Yeah, look – Cameron Ella Ava is as talented as EVER. Even HALF of her career could be considered greater than people who have been here for multiple years; but you have to remember her OPPONENT tonight, Rex McAllister isn’t just ANY OTHER Elitist, that man can do some damage with those hands… :drool: – So she needs to watch out if she wants to stand a chance; but in the end? The winner is obvious. :mjgrin:
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Rich Russillo: And we are underway with a match-up I feel can pull through as the greatest match of the season thus far here for the Yellow brand, as Cameron Ella Ava vs Rex McAllister is now OFFICIALLY underway!
James Peters: I have to agree with you HEAVILY Rich, these two are known for the masterclasses they can put on inside the ring; my question is, who do you have your money on –
Persephone: Rex McAllister. That is Rich’s answer, and the RIGHT answer.
Rich Russillo: I suppose I’ve been spoken for.
James Peters: Well figures now it is up to Rex to sway the apparent ‘majority’ opinion here, as both him and Cameron now seem to be heading directly to the center of the ring; and after an EXTREMELY heated exchange this week in their promos, I can’t help but suppose these two won’t feel the need to hold ANY blows!
Persephone: You might be right there, because the moment they reach the center of the ring blows are instantly cashed in between one another! LEFTS AND RIGHTS FLYING FOR THE MOMENT AS BOTH CAMERON AND REX ARE GOING AT IT!!!
James Peters: This is a battle for dominance both tonight, and for the ENTIRETY of this season; as the swinging between these two seems absolutely endless, with neither one backing down until finally Cameron pushes Rex away; sending him backwards as Rex tries to regain ground running forward – BUT REX RUNS DIRECTLY INTO A BIG BOOT FROM CAMERON ELLA AVA . . .
Persephone: NO! He ducked the boot, GO REXY GO! Rex sliding past Cameron who is left staggered after going off target, turning around to try and catch Rex before it’s too late – AND A HUGE ELBOW TO THE FACE THAT SENDS CAMERON ELLA AVA BACK-PEDALLING INTO THE ROPES!
Rich Russillo: Rex needs to work off of that if he wants a feasible chance at claiming momentum in this beginning of this match; as Cameron Ella Ava lingers against the ropes, holding her jaw only forcing one thing from Rex as he run forward towards her, though Cameron WISELY dipping down and tucking the rope with her; sending Rex over the ropes and to the floor on the outside of the ring –
James Peters: NO LOOK! Rex hung on to the top rope as he was being sent out, taking a spot on the apron as Cameron looks over to make sure McAllister landed harmfully on the outside – AND A SHOULDER CHECK FROM REX LANDS RIGHT IN THE MID-SECTION OF CAMERON THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE!
Persephone: DADHJDIDKAJDIKOJDQIAODJ, C’MON REXY!!!!
Rich Russillo: Rex sending Cameron Ella Ava towards the center of the ring, as he sizes her up from the outside; finding his target as he navigates his body swiftly through the middle rope with a roll, bobbling up to his feet – AND A BLOCKBUSTER TAKES CAMERON ELLA AVA DOWN, DELIVERED BY REX MCALLISTER; RIGHT INTO THE COVER!!!!!
OOONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOO—
Persephone: THREEEEEEEEE, DING DING DING!!!!!!!
James Peters: AND THE KICKOUT FROM CAMERON ELLA AVA!!
Persephone: :dave:
Rich Russillo: Cameron being very adamant on not being taken out yet as Rex has to just inflict more damage towards her before he can sit atop the mountain of this match as the winner, and a quick kickout like this is nothing for him to dwell on as he gets back up to his feet; similar to Cameron with still a lot left in her tank as Rex snakes into the corner, awaiting for Cameron to reach a solid base; AND THE MOMENT CAMERON REACHES A VERTICAL POSITION, REX RUNS FORWARD TO DROP HER BACK DOWN WITH A LARIAT FROM HEL– HECK!!!
Persephone: AND HERE IT COMES, LANDING SQUARE AGAINST THE NECK OF CAMERON ELLA AVA TO TAKE HER DOWN – Eugh, nevermind. Cameron Ella Ava UNFORTUNATELY ducked out of the way and Rex’ missed; but he still has time to take her down! Rex turning around, lifting his foot to catch her with a kick before she can rebound –
James Peters: But Cameron catching the boot of Rex McAllister! An irritated expression on Cameron Ella Ava’s face as Rex McAllister bounces on one leg; not many options for him here as Cameron is firmly in control of his other – AND A DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP FROM CAMERON ELLA AVA TAKES DOWN REX MCALLISTER TO THE GROUND!!!!
Rich Russillo: And that was all Cameron needed to take over, as she looks to work quickly here to make up for lost momentum; Rex rolling close into the corner as she leaps over his body, jumping on to the middle rope for height over him, and BLASTING both her legs directly into his midsection with PERFECT precision!
James Peters: And I’d like to say the shirt Rex is wearing would help cushion the blow from Cameron there for his sake . . .But I heavily doubt it, as Cameron Ella Ava begins layering KICKS against the body of Rex to move him towards the middle of the ring; though no pin attempt from Cameron yet as she bends over, picking up Rex by his hair and bringing him to his knees; before backing away entirely into a corner of the ring adjacent from McAllister, Cameron sizing him up; BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND DELIVERING A METEORA INTO THE FACE OF REX – KNEES DIGGING INTO HIS SKULL AS CAMERON GRABS MCALLISTER’S LEGS FROM BEHIND, CRADLING HIM UP FOR THE COVER!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THH–
James Peters: KICKOUT FROM REX RIGHT BEFORE THREE!
Persephone: I wish Rex would hit me with a Meteora like that . . .
Rich Russillo: What? :comeagain:
Persephone: I feel like I wasn’t very quiet with what I said, Rich; you know the exact words I uttered in the way I uttered them.
James Peters: And moving well along from, that – Cameron Ella Ava in the ring is displaying a FULL level of confidence, grin heavy on her face as the fans in the SNHU arena of Manchester are continuing to rain down boo’s, clearly not in favor to ‘The Serpent’ here tonight; but it looks like their criticism isn’t affecting the mind of Cameron in the slightest; as she pulls Rex off the mat directly into a chokehold, taunting the fans as she keeps the hold firmly in tact with oen arm, and raises the other hand to her ear as the boo’s get louder!
Persephone: She NEEDS to be more focused on being attentive to Rex here, I know my man, and I know that the moment she gives him an inch? He’s going to take a FOOT.
Rich Russillo: I for one would like to say I’m extremely proud of you for not spinning that into an innuendo of some sort.
Persephone: An innuendo? I’m a professional, Rich – grow up.
James Peters: But this crowd is DIGGING into Cameron tonight; getting louder and louder, higher and higher in octave – but each time they do it’s like she’s tightening that hold even more to jeer them on! Rex McAllister just being a victim in the process as Cameron’s hold is just wearing him out more and more, Rex’s eyes getting foggier by the second –
Persephone: BUT AN ELBOW TO THE MID SECTION OF CAMERON BY MY SEXY REXY! Rex getting light back in those sparkly gems he calls eyes, as he digs ANOTHER elbow into the mid-section of Cameron Ella Ava who’s beginning to wince because of it! Taking her eyes even slightly off the prize, Rex is trying to take over as a FINAL elbow sends Cameron off of him, staggering away momentarily as she holds her side in pain; a grimace on her face with my Rexy’ trying to reach his feet, GET UP REX, GET UP FOR ME!!!!
Rich Russillo: But he might not be able to reach a vertical position in time, still very slow on the process due to the energy Cameron simply STOLE from him; and by the time he’s turning around Cameron is already BRIMMING with vengeance for those elbows Rex handed to her; running forward with movement like a TRAIN as Ava looks to FLATTEN out McAllister with a HUGE takedown –
Persephone: BUT REX! REX TURNS AROUND AND SOMEHOW HAS THE WHEREWITHAL TO LEAP ONTO THE BACK OF CAMERON’S HEAD AND DROP HER DOWN WITH A PEDIGREE!!! I knew he’d listen to me, I knew it!
James Peters: And with that move right there, Cameron’s reign in this match seems to have disappeared momentarily; Rex dropping her down – and now it looks like he’s trying to put her away as he rolls her body over, and now Rex with the cover!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHRRR—
Persephone: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: And Cameron with the swift kick out! A little later than I am sure she would’ve hoped, but she’s still in here nonetheless!
James Peters: And now it’s Rex taking a little breather here, trying to regain his energy and momentum that he’d lost as he gets up to his feet; leaning against the ropes, giving Cameron admittedly some ample time to recover herself here, which could come to bite Rex momentarily; as the MOMENT McAllister takes himself off the ropes —
Rich Russillo: CAMERON ELLA AVA IS UP TO HER FEET?? The determination of this women knows no bounds, as she is SPRINTING to a taken aback Rex McAllister; RAISING HER BOOT HIGH AS SHE WANTS TO WIPE REX’S FACE OFF OF HIS FACE!!!
Persephone: I CANT LOOK, I CANT LOOK, I CANT LOOK!!!!
…
James Peters: BUT REX YET AGAIN HAS THE NUMBER OF THAT BIG BOOT, SLIDING CAMERON’S LEFT LEG OVER THE TOP ROPE, AND REX USING HIS BODY TO LEVY CAMERON’S RIGHT LEG OVER WITH IT!
Persephone: TIIIIMMMBBERRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Rich Russillo: AND CAMERON ELLA AVA SENT RIGHT OVER THE TOP ROPE, DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING AND ONTO THE FLOOR BY REX, HE ISNT DONE YET!
( Rex staggers to the center of the ring, wiping the sweat from his face and rubbing it onto his shirt, taking a breather as Cameron is put into a position she can’t easily come back from, before standing back up to plot his next move )
???: TAKE IT OFF! TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF!!!
( Rex dawned a look of confusion, turning his head to the sudden loud voice beckoning for him )
Persephone: YOUR SHIRT! YOU DONT WANT TO GET TOO HOT IN IT – RIP IT OFF AND TOSS IT OVER FOR SAFE KEEPING!!!
Rex McAllister: :comeagain:
Rich Russillo: Persephone this man has a match to win what are you doi-
Crowd: TAKE IT OFF! TAKE IT OFF! TAKE IT OFF!
James Peters: Wha- Has your propaganda reached the EAW Universe now?! The entire arena is ablaze for Rex to take off his shirt now, what is HAPPENING right now?!
Persephone: I’m a woman of the people, simple. :mjgrin:
( Rex looks around the arena, a chuckle seeping from him as he sighs, hands on his hips as she shrugs; before… )
Persephone: ALFJWOCKWUPWJCWCJACUAPFHWLCWJCIFJJDIE!!!!
Crowd: YES! YES! YES!
James Peters: I gotta be dreaming…
Rich Russillo: No, James – we’re living in a world where Rex McAllister just ripped off his shirt for the city of Manchester… And I guess Persephone.
Persephone: This.. This is the happiest moment of my life, well – close to the happiest I’ve ever been, I could think of a good few other times . . .
James Peters: Please, don’t feel the need to expand on that; let’s just try and focus on the action surrounding the ring that doesn’t involve articles of clothing being taken off? As now Rex quits the fan service and rolls to the outside, Cameron Ella Ava still trying to get up with the barricade after taking the spill to the floor shortly before; Rex’s distracted nature not being the bane of him yet; as now Rex looks to grab Cameron and launch her back into the ring—
Rich Russillo: BUT CAMERON SPINNING AROUND REX, LOOKING TO LAUNCH HIM INTO THE STEEL STEPS — BUT REX NOT ALLOWING THAT TO HAPPEN AS HE REVERSES THE POSITIONING AND MOMENTUM OF HIMSELF WITH CAMERON ELLA AVA —
SMASH!!!
Rich Russillo: AND CAMERON CRASHING INTO THE STEEL STEPS, THOUGH NOT TO REST AS REX PICKS CAMERON UP AND LAUNCHES HER BACK INTO THE RING, SENDING HER TO REST IN THE MIDDLE; AS REX SLIDES INTO THE CORNER, AWAITING CAMERON TO REACH HER FEET!!!
James Peters: And Cameron now trying to reach her feet in a disoriented state, this doesn’t look like it’ll end good for her as she reaches a vertical base; spinning around to face Rex –
…
Persephone: SPPPEEEAAAAARRRRRR!!! A SPEAR FROM MY REXY’ POO AS HE INSTANTLY TRANSITIONS IN TO THE COVER, HERE IT IS!!!!
OOOOOOONNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEE—-
Persephone: …
Rich Russillo: AND CAMERON KICKS OUT AT THE LAST SECOND, SAVING THE MATCH FOR HERSELF.
Persephone: :jr:
James Peters: You simply HAVE to remember that Cameron Ella Ava has came back from worse, as shocking as it was she managed to muscle out; I’d be remissed not to mention that she has simply come back from worse, and Rex needs to come with things he’s never done before if he wants to upset her tonight!
Rich Russillo: And I think he might just pull out an old specialty – it might not be new, but it is DEFINITELY effective; waiting for Cameron to begin getting up, REX BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES; GARNERING THAT MOMENTUM HE IS DESIRING AS HE FINALLY SEEMS TO CATCH HIS SPEED; RUNNING FROM BEHIND CAMERON AS HE FLOATS OVER HER BODY, HOOKING THE HEAD AS HE LOOKS TO FINISH HER OFF WITH HIS PATENTED, ‘REXXXXX EFFEEEECCCTTTT!!!!!’
Persephone: AND IT CONNECTSSSSSS!!!!!!
…
Rich Russillo: NO, CAMERON MUSCLED OUT! PUSHING REX OFF OF HER — “WONDER WOMAN PUNCH!!!” That direct forearm to the face of Rex that completely brings him to a halt, sending McAllister into the ropes as he is completely disoriented here… AND CAMERON FINALLY LANDING THAT BIG BOOT THAT SHE’S BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL MATCH AS REX WAS REBOUNDING BACK TOWARDS CAMERON, MCALLISTER NOW FLAT ON HIS BACK!!
Persephone: And now Cameron into the cover, KICKOUT REXY, KICK OUT!!!!
OOOONNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHHRRRRR—-
Persephone: KICK OUT, HE KICKED OUT I SEEN IT!!!!
Rich Russillo: You finally got one of those calls right, congrats. :mjpls:
Persephone: Prophet.
James Peters: And it’s as if the shoulder up from Rex has SPITED Cameron Ella Ava; disgust on her face that Rex is still in this match as she picks his head off the mat, pain on his face but nevertheless he SURVIVES!
Cameron Ella Ava (off-mic): Don’t you see what I’m trying to do here? You don’t understand the mission I am on, the moves I am trying to MAKE. This return is really cute, but you don’t have enough of IT to beat me, Rex – you got it?!
James Peters: And whatever Cam just told Rex, it was sent with an emphatic end as she just SLAMS his head into the mat, causing this crowd to loudly boo Cameron once more; a devious chuckle leaving her lips, as she shrugs them off!
Rich Russillo: …Did you just ball your arm into a fist, Persephone?
Persephone: Nobody disrespects my man like that.
Rich Russillo: So are you going to go defend him now?
Persephone: Oh – heavens no. I care about my health and well being, but I just want to show I hold HEAVY disdain for whatever Cameron said to him!
James Peters: Smart. But Rex isn’t in the drivers seat right now to defend himself, as Cameron Ella Ava looks to be setting up for the beginning of the end; as Rex McAllister is DOWN in the center of the ring, Cameron taking refuge in the corner as she crouches down; sizing up Rex who is trying his best to stir up to his feet, though maybe staying down is the BEST option at hand; though his determination wont allow him to stay down, reaching his knees as Cameron Ella Ava is ready to seal this one up, BURSTING OUT OF THE CORNER; RUNNING FORWARD TOWARDS REX MCALLISTER AS SHE LOOKS TO TOP THIS MATCH OFF WITH ‘GODDESS RISING’!!
…
…
…
Persephone: OH MY GOD!
James Peters: IS THAT —
Rich Russillo: “CODE BLUE!!!” ITS DR. BETHANY BLUE, DR. BETHANY BLUE OUT OF NOWHERE AS SHE CRASHES AGAINST CAMERON ELLA AVA WITH THE HEART PUNCH THAT LANDS PERFECTLY, CAMERON WAS TOO FOCUSED TO NOTICE AND TIME — BUT WHAT IS BETHANY DOING HERE?!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER VIA DISQUALIFICATION… ‘THE SERPENT’ …. CAMERONNN ELLLAAA AVVVAAAAA!!!
James Peters: A win under Cameron Ella Ava’s belt, but I have HEAVY doubts Cameron would want it to come this way, as Bethany just MOUNTS upon a downed Cameron Ella Ava and is just RAINING DOWN PUNCHES onto her head, and Cameron is TRYING to cover up but the turmoil she’s been in alongside that vicious ‘Code Blue’ is making it hard to avoid these hard and heavy shots!
Rich Russillo: And in the midst of this attack, you have to remember Rex McAllister is completely ignorant to it all; FINALLY turning around to see what’s happening in the ring as confusion pours into his face, Rex making the only wise decision and quickly rolling out the ring as he wants to watch on from a safe distance, as the former EAW Universal Women’s Champion is HAMMERING onto Cameron here!
Persephone: Good lord, this girl is SPITEFUL! All that anger culminating from losing to Kassidy Heart, I guess she took it upon herself to declare beating the ever living [REDACTED] out of Cameron Ella Ava was the only therapy she needed to cope with the situation at hand for herself!
James Peters: Though finally it looks likes Bethany is DONE raining down forearms against Cameron, some mercy FINALLY being given from this random attack Bethany had planned and placed onto Ava; as Bethany stands up, standing in the center of the ring as even the fans have to HECKLE and BOO Bethany for her acts tonight!
Persephone: And I don’t think Bethany cares in the slightest – in fact, I think she’s EMBRACING it! Spreading her arms out wide as she lets this crowd in Manchester FUEL her to the brim with their hatred!
Rich Russillo: This is what she wanted, the spotlight and attention to return to her after she clearly wanted to make SOME sort of statement following her loss to Kassidy Heart at Pain For Pride not long ago; as Bethany finally turns to face the ramp, looking at Rex as he finds his way slowly going up it; though there isn’t much disdain in her eyes towards him, just a simple stare as she finds herself going towards the ropes, looking to exit the ring after this ASSAULT!
Persephone: She better not plan on coming after my Rexy! He’s been through enough, he doesn’t need to be brutalized and beraded!
Rich Russillo: I’m just thankful she’s finally leaving the ring, the farther away from Cameron Ella Ava, the better!
( Bethany would slowly make her way in front of her ropes, putting one leg through it to move herself to the apron as she brings the majority of her body through it as well, seeming as if she’s just about to begin making her way to the back… )
( And then she stopped. )
Rich Russillo: Hold on what is she . . .
Persephone: SHE ISN’T DONE? THE HATRED IN THIS WOMAN!
James Peters: She’s got to stop, Cameron has had ENOUGH, why is she getting back in the ring?!
Rich Russillo: And look at Bethany now, she’s reaching into her pocket, what is she trying to grab – Oh, God . . .
( Bethany reached back out of her pocket, revealing a single item; her glove. )
Persephone: We know EXACTLY what this means, as Cameron is FINALLY beginning to stir once again; Bethany stalks her for a moment – BEFORE FINALLY DOING WHAT EVERYONE HAS FEARED, WRAPPING HERSELF AROUND A DOWNED CAMERON ELLA AVA; MAKING SURE HER GLOVE IS SECURE ON HER HAND — ‘SAY AHHHH!’ THE RINGS OF SATURN SUBMISSION PUT ON CAMERON ELLA AVA AND SHE HAS NOWHERE TO GO!!!
James Peters: CAMERON IS SCREAMING OUT FOR HELP, SOMEBODY, ANYBODY – CAMERON IS GOING THROUGH TORTURE! Bethany isn’t letting up in the SLIGHTEST, a vicious look on her face as she seems to be adding pressure the LONGER her hand is deep into the mouth of Cameron as she stares like a woman POSSESSED at Cameron who is trying to fight, trying to struggle, trying to remain CONSCIOUS as her eyes begin to droop; the pain is becoming too unbearable, she can’t take it!
Persephone: And she can’t take it anymore, Cameron Ella Ava is OUT – and nevertheless, Bethany is ADAMANT about keeping that submission hold FIRMLY locked in!
Rich Russillo: And all Rex can do is watch on, not willing to lend a hand to Cameron Ella Ava as he looks like he’s just simply going to keep making his way to the back and let the action in the ring play out — Wait, is that…
James Peters: MINERVA! MINERVA FROM BEHIND WHO LOOKS TO SURPRISE REX AFTER THE ATTACK HE PLACED ON HER EARLIER TONIGHT, AND HE DOESNT EVEN REALIZE IT AS MINERVA CATCHES HIM FROM BEHIND WITH A BASEBALL BAT!!!!!
Persephone: NONONONONONO, SOMEONE STOP HER — MERCY, MINERVA MERCY — STOP IT DONT DO THIS!!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA NOW GRABBING REX, OH MY GOD!!!!!
(*BOOOOOOM!*)
Rich Russillo: MINERVA JUST SENT REX OFF OF THE STAGE, CAUSING A HUGE EXPLOSION!!!!!
James Peters: This match has become utter chaos for BOTH competitors! Rex McAllister just fell into the electrical equipment thanks to Minerva, meanwhile Dr. Bethany Blue has just been beating the life out of Cameron Ella Ava, and has just begun viciously punching away at her, causing blood to become apparent on Cameron’s face!
Rich Russillo: This chaos needs to be controlled, SO MUCH DRAMA BRIMMING OVER AS WE WILL HAVE NUMEROUS UPDATES WHEN WE COME BACK. FROM COMMERCIAL, AS WE TRY RESOLVING THE SITUATIONS AT HAND!!!
( As the broadcast gets ready to cut out to commercial, the view is shown of a lifeless Cameron Ella Ava being brutalized by Dr. Bethany Blue, with officials surrounding the ring trying to take Bethany off of Cameron, all while even more officials run in to get Minerva away from Rex McAllister. The fans don’t know how to react to what they just witnessed, and Voltage begins fading away from ringside.)
(Commercial for One Piece featuring Holly Arrow, as well as countless other Elitists she managed to convince to watch the series.)
(The Voltage broadcast begins to return from the temporary darkness that is the end of the commercial breaks, and before long, we get a full view of the entrance ramp. A crane shot of the arena opens the segment with a full angle of the stage being center frame, slowly panning across while the Manchester, New Hampshire fans await the return of the show in the SNHU Arena. Moments later, they would very quickly bounce to boos, as ‘Bounce Back’ by Big Sean cracks through the speaker system, like a flood in a dam. The crowd boos extremely loudly, so loud in fact that people across the street in the cafe probably assumed life had suddenly gained a crowd track and they were being told not to order their drink. “Straight Shooter” would be seen on the titantron, as Jack Ripley makes his way out of the curtains, a deadpan look on his face, alongside an obvious scowl. He is far from happy after last week, and it shows.)
Rich Russillo: THE STRAIGHT SHOOTER! FORMER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! A HIGH ROLLER! Speaking of high rolling, how about I ‘gamble’ my shot with you?
Persephone: No.
Rich Russillo: Alright!
(Jack Ripley would begin to make his way down the ramp.)
James Peters: Well; here comes Jack! Though someone closely tied to the Showdown brand for the past few years, this isn’t Jack’s first time on Voltage, and there’s no doubt that he’ll embody it perfectly. However, he clearly has not been enjoying his time thus far on the brand. With what happened last week with Jamie O’Hara, there’s no surprise that Jack is acting the way he is. And as much as I like Jamie, can you blame him? Not that I’m on Jack’s side, but it’s understandable that a reaction like that would get you this salty.
(Jack Ripley makes his way up the steel steps, before entering the ring. He is wasting no time. He absolutely wants to get everything that is on his mind out of it. He makes his way to the corner, grabbing a microphone, before heading back to the center of the ring. He looks straight down the hardcam, before his theme song cuts off. He raises the microphone up immediately.)
Jack Ripley: I expected better from Jamie O’Hara.
(Those six words alone would instantly get the fans that were already booing him to boo louder. Even if a man like James Peters understands why Jack feels like this, a few others in the crowd probably feeling the same way, Jamie O’Hara is still beloved, especially after returning to his “Ace” ethos. To hear a man they’ve grown distant to over the past few years behave in this manner, to a man they’ve rekindled their admiration for, is no doubt unlikeable.)
Jack Ripley: How many years has it been, Jamie? Two and a half? Almost three? Sure, in that time, anything could happen. I say that very loosely and very generously just to give you some semblance of reasonable doubt. After all that’s the amount of time a newbie could become a World Champion. That’s the amount of time a brief Hall of Fame career could be created. Three years is a long time, yet the moment that kickstarted it is eternal. You forgot who I am. I’m not just anybody, Jamie, I’m not just a nobody. You’re really stupid if you genuinely believed that you could sit there and laugh in my face. You’re really idiotic if you believe you can find humor in the man that ended your last, and what is absolutely going to be your final World Championship run in this company, you nauseatingly hypocritical, unbearable bitch. You allowed that little fantasy run of yours to delude you into thinking that I was someone, like, on the level of your opponent tonight. A guy with no real future, just hanging around, believing their worth something, but just don’t matter on the level they think they do. You’ve forgotten who I am.
(Jack shakes his head.)
Jack Ripley: So I’ll remind you. Come out here, Jamie. Face me man to man. Just as we did last week. I’m not in the mood to hang around here, you soured that, so I demand you come out here and laugh at me again knowing that you could very well end up placed the same way you did at Road to Redemption.
(Jack Ripley lowers his microphone, as he stares at the entrance way. He waits. He waits some more. He continues waiting, so much so that he begins to get impatient. However… the legendary track of ‘Kashmir’ by Led Zeppelin would begin to blare through the speakers, as the roof becomes unglued. Jamie O’Hara would make his way out of the curtains, wearing his popped collar black leather jacket, alongside his wrestling attire, as he stares at Jack with the same amused face he left last week with. Almost as if it were the same man, from the same time, being placed at the curtains of the entrance way, a portal through time. This evidently gets on Jack’s nerves. Jamie makes his way down the ramp, a microphone already in hand, before making his way up the steel steps and into the ring. The two come face to face once more. Jack as bitter as ever. Jamie with the same expression on his face.)
Jamie O’Hara: Allow me to ask you one thing, Jack. Why? What about you should make me innately predisposed to the idea that I should stand before you, no smile on my face, no laugh. Utter seriousness, knowing you’re the same man that left New Orleans with the same gold I worked an entire season to wrap around my waist, three years ago? Is it really because of that Elimination Chamber outcome? Is it really because I tasted the rare yet, consistently humbling feeling of blood in my mouth, lights in my eyes, another man’s entrance theme blaring through the speaker system of the arena, that cold satisfactory gold no longer kissing the skin of my face? That feeling was the peak of your entire career. Not what followed and not what came beforehand; that serotonin flowing through you at that EXACT moment was the date that Jack Ripley could say he was worth a damn and what followed it didn’t compare. You haven’t come a shred close to reaching those same heights again, and while on some level it’d be excruciatingly difficult to meet a level of those exact same heights, to remain at that same heights on a consistent basis is something we should expect from a man defeating someone like the Ace. I’ve grown since that date. You haven’t.
(Jack Ripley’s blood only continues to boil as he hears Jamie O’Hara’s words, hitting his eardrums like a spider hits water, he hates every second of it.)
Jack Ripley: I don’t buy it. Seriously. I don’t. I’m not sure what’s gotten into you, this idea that I somehow haven’t competed at the same heights I always have, as if I wasn’t the one outside of a successful cash in – which, for as bad as Jake is, he has that over you – to be the rightful victor against Impact. Not a single moment where he definitely could say he defeated me. For someone who knows what heights my career has or hasn’t been, you should have realized that I’m capable of being World Champion yet again, seeing as while I wasn’t the “winner” of it last season – I was never given a valid reason why I shouldn’t be. Last week I made a challenge because I wanted to fight someone I know very well. You, Jamie, didn’t accept it. You simply laughed in my face. You of all people should understand how big of a mistake that is. I’m still a Hall of Famer. I’m still a former World Champion. I’m still the man that was deserving of a second last season. I’m still one of the most accomplished Elitists on this roster, and you ARE in that conversation. You should know better than to brush all of that off, you know of my capabilities personally.
(The crowd would sit, eagerly, as this heats up. Jamie shakes his head, lifting up the microphone.)
Jamie O’Hara: If you want me to pat you on your head and make you feel somewhat better about what occurred last week; it isn’t just you. You’re not some special puppy I had every intention of upshowing, pissing on, and rubbing it in with my boot. You aren’t a target I looked to devalue, if that mends your ego in any feasible sense. It’s everything. Any plausible “threat” to my heart here is something I just can’t take seriously. Unlike you, who can resort to whataboutisms and say “well if this happened if that happened” to justify why you feel so highly of yourself; I’ve come to understand MY capabilities very well. It’s almost frightening, really. If I, at times, can be scared of my OWN abilities, you should be able to paint a picture why a threat like yourself isn’t really much to me. I’m back with one goal. The EAW World Championship. That is my one and only goal. Someone like you? Someone beneath me? Not just in current company “stature” in terms of who is and isn’t the one possessing the gold that immediately boosts them to main event, poster boy level regardless of their marketability and if they’re worth a damn – but in ability, and overall meaning. I have nothing to gain from this. Not in the slightest.
(Jack Ripley takes a deep breath, and looks to talk-)
Jamie O’Hara: But.
(Jamie raises a finger, effectively cutting Jack off the minute he opens his mouth and looks to make a sound. He has more to say. Judging by the way he delivered it, he probably intended for Jack to try and speak up. He probably intended to rile him up just that extra bit more. Jack slowly lowers the microphone, and while intrigued, he still doesn’t look at Jamie the way that he was hoping to – he still is as offended as he was beforehand. Though, a twitch in the eye and a raising of the eyebrow shows he’s willing to hear him out, just for a second.)
Jamie O’Hara: If you truly insist on this. If you truly insist on continuing the way you have been. If you truly insist on entering this season, zero wins to your name from the previous one, and continuing said streak of losses, then so be it. I’m not responsible for it. While my name will be tied to the red L beside yours, I’m not the one at fault for it, it’s your own decision that led you to where you currently are, and it is your own decision that made it so you started off your season unethical to how you had envisioned it; in other words, I accept your challenge.
(Immediately after this, Jack Ripley slowly begins to raise the microphone up to his mouth. He doesn’t feel relieved because of what Jamie said, his attitude hasn’t shifted, nor has he become sunshine and rainbows, but he’s certainly calmed down just a little bit more. The microphone reaches his lips, as Jack steps ever so closely to Jamie, in order to get his point across.)
Jack Ripley: Good. Because I promise you, Jamie, you won’t be saying that much longer. You won’t be feeling yourself the way you currently do – powerful, nigh untouchable – you will enter a state of sorrow and dread. This WILL be a repeat of the Elimination Chamber. But it won’t be masked and clouded by the passing of time and the “elimination” side of it, it will be a straight up defeat. I promise you, Jamie. You won’t like what happens. Not one bit. Come Bloodsport, you’re going to realize that no moniker nor mindset will save you from the fact that Jack Ripley is better than you. We’ll see who gets the last laugh.
(Jack Ripley drops the microphone, as the two of them stare down. Jamie O’Hara’s smile has faded, and though he hasn’t passed into the same mentality that Jack is currently in, he is a lot more neutral faced than before. Jack would brush past him, bumping shoulders, before he exits the ring, still facing Jamie. He hops off the apron, walking up the ramp, as shots of the two flash back and forth. Eventually, we see Jamie waiting in the ring, before Voltage fades into a commercial break.)
(Commercial break for Spanx staring Xander Payne!)
(The camera returns to ringside, and ‘Kashmir (Paratus Intro)’ by Led Zeppelin is heard playing as Jamie O’Hara stands in the corner of the ring, ready for his upcoming match against Ruler. He has a calm look on his face, not bothered by his interaction with Jack Ripley moments ago while the fans look more excited than ever, ready for O’Hara’s first match under the name “Jamie O’Hara” since season 15 in 2021. Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone, and she begins to speak.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: Already in the ring… Residing in Los Angeles, California… Weighing in at 190 pounds… JAAAAMMMIIIEEEEEE O’HHHAAAARRRRRAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: It’s been a very long time since we heard that announcement, and tonight we’re about to see Jamie O’Hara go one on one with a man that’s about to compete for a World Championship. Needless to say, this will be a great match.
Rich Russillo: Couldn’t agree more, and I’m sure Jack Ripley will be watching too. We all saw Jack call Jamie out tonight and we know how it turned out. If anything, there’s no way he isn’t curious about Jamie’s current capabilities.
Persephone: I don’t see why he would be, but then again he’s the same idiot that challenged Jamie in the first place. Why do people have to ask for more matches? Why would any of you want to wrestle more?
(‘The Perfect Girl’ by Mareux hits, and the crowd is heard booing. Ruler begins to walk out, a focused look on his face as he takes a few seconds to look at his opponent in the ring. Ruler begins to walk down the ramp, clearly ready for this match as he knows what this victory would do for him. He’s clearly thinking about his upcoming EAW World Championship match, and as he makes it down the ramp, he completely turns his attention to Jamie, staring directly at him.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… Residing in The Reserved in Boston, Massachusetts… Weighing in at 220 pounds…. RUUUUUUUUUULLLEEEERRRRR!!!!!
James Peters: This man is sometimes referred to as “the Ruler of Everything” and if he can become the EAW World Champion at Bloodsport, I’m sure that claim would only become even more legitimate. That road has already started, and tonight could be a huge step forward for him as he looks to defeat Jamie O’Hara.
Rich Russillo: It’s undeniable how huge of a victory this would be for him, but by design that also means that this will be a huge challenge, one that historically, not many are able to conquer. I’m sure Ruler’s opponents will be watching this one to see what happens though, especially Donovan Duke.
Persephone: Well if I were Donovan I’d watch to see Ruler get embarrassed, but if I wanted to see a good wrestling match I’d just go and rewatch Rexy’s work.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: Here we go! The main event is underway, and now both Jamie and Ruler quickly lock up in the middle of the ring! Jamie gets the better of Ruler though as he turns around and delivers a snapmare, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY A KICK TO THE SPINE! Ruler is quick to get back to a knee, BUT JAMIE APPLIES A HEADLOCK BEFORE TAKING HIM TO THE MAT FOR A GROUNDED HEADLOCK! Ruler is able to find a counter this time however as he applies the headscissors to pull Jamie off of him! Both Elitists now back to their feet- REVOLUTIONIZER!!!
Rich Russillo: JAMIE HAD IT SCOUTED, AND NOW HE GOES FOR A KNEE STRIKE BUT RULER IS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY! RULER LOOKS FOR A LEG SWEEP BUT JAMIE JUMPS OVER IT, BEFORE GRABBING RULER AND DELIVERING A HARD HITTING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Ruler is sent stumbling back into the corner, AND JAMIE APPROACHES HIM BEFORE DELIVERING A SHOOT KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! AND A SECOND! AND A THIRD! THE REFEREE NOW BEGINNING TO COUNT AS THE KICKS CONTINUE!
Referee: ONE!… TWO!… THREE!… FOUR!… FI-
Rich Russillo: Jamie runs to the opposite corner before charging back in, AND THERE’S A RUNNING KNIFE EDGE CHOP! JAMIE NOW PULLING RULER TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING WITH ANOTHER SNAPMARE AS HE RUNS THE ROPES, AND THERE’S A DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF HEAD-
Persephone: Nope, he missed like an idiot!
James Peters; Actually, Ruler just managed to get out of the way.
Persephone: Same thing. Anyways Ruler quickly gets back up, and he knees Jamie in the side of his head. Jamie holds the side of his head and now Ruler quickly pulls him in before delivering a snap suplex! WOOOOOOOOOO! Gotta love one of the most boring moves in the entirety of professional wrestling!
James Peters: Ruler doesn’t stop there if that helps. He rolls back to his feet with Jamie still in his grasp, AND NOW HE LOOKS FOR A FALCON ARROW- BUT JAMIE MANAGED TO SLIP OUT OF RULER’S GRASP AND LAND ON HIS FEET! RULER SWINGS AT JAMIE, BUT JAMIE DUCKS UNDER WHILE HOOKING THE ARM, ALLOWING HIM TO DUMP RULER ON HIS HEAD WITH A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! This is the first match of “Jamie O’Hara” since 2021, and clearly spending all that time as “Yhwach” hasn’t changed the fact that he’s one of the very best in the world, past or present.
Rich Russillo: Ruler is definitely going to understand that after this match if he hasn’t already, and that’s regardless of the result. Ruler uses the ropes to pull himself back up, AND JAMIE JUST DELIVERS AN ELBOW STRIKE TO THE JAW! Ruler drops down to a knee and Jamie just delivers a second elbow before pulling Ruler in! Jamie now lifting Ruler, AND I THINK JAMIE MIGHT HAVE A BRAINBUSTER PLANNED- BUT WE’LL NEVER KNOW FOR SURE AS RULER MANAGES TO SLIP BEHIND JAMIE BEFORE SHOVING HIM INTO THE CORNER! JAMIE TURNS AROUND, AND RULER RUNS IN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A KNEE STRIKE!
Persephone: Ruler didn’t stop at that unfortunately. He just sent Jamie into the opposite corner before running in, and now HE’S the one hitting an uppercut. It’s like everyone around here has the exact same wrestling style or something, it’s so boring. Anyways, Ruler just took Jamie out of the corner with an arm drag before running the ropes, and- LOOK! HE JUST DID A SLINGBLADE, I’VE SEEN LIKE FIVE DIFFERENT PEOPLE DO SLINGBLADES BEFORE! I should’ve just gone home after Rexy’s match, I can’t do this anymore.
James Peters: Well this is your job so I don’t know about that. Anyways Jamie is back to a knee, and now Ruler grabs him before looking for a belly to belly- JUST FOR JAMIE TO DELIVER AN ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! JAMIE NOW PUSHING RULER INTO THE ROPES WITH A BOOT TO THE CHEST, AND HE RUNS IN BEFORE DELIVERING A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, CAUSING RULER TO FALL THROUGH THE ROPES AND OUTSIDE OF THE RING! This has definitely become a pretty action packed main event, and it still feels like we’re pretty early on!
Persephone: It does? Personally I feel like the match could (and should) end at any moment now.
Rich Russillo: Ruler doesn’t spend too long on the ground, instead pushing himself up, BUT I DON’T THINK HE KNOWS WHAT’S IN STORE FOR HIM! JAMIE O’HARA RUNS THE ROPES, AND AS SOON AS RULER RETURNS TO HIS FEET HE’S TAKEN RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A LOW-PE SUICIDA! The fans are going wild here tonight as Jamie O’Hara is on fire! Jamie now pulling Ruler off the mat before sending him back into the ring, and- WOAH! WAIT A SECOND!
James Peters: RULER MANAGED TO PUSH HIMSELF UP AND DELIVER A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK, KEEPING JAMIE OUT OF THE RING AS HE DROPS DOWN TEMPORARILY! Ruler now quickly pushing himself up and running the ropes as Jamie gets back up, AND NOW IT’S RULER’S TURN TO GO HIGH RISK AS HE TAKES JAMIE OUT WITH A TOPE CON HILO!!! WHAT A TURN OF EVENTS HERE ON VOLTAGE AS RULER AND JAMIE BASICALLY TRADED DIVES! Ruler now sending Jamie back into the ring, and he quickly slides in under the bottom rope before Jamie could try and return the favor!
Rich Russillo: Both men back to their feet- BUT NOT FOR LONG AS RULER DELIVERS A LEG SWEEP TO JAMIE! RULER NOW LOOKING FOR A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP, BUT JAMIE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE QUICKLY RETURNING TO HIS FEET! JAMIE NOW TAKING OUT RULER WITH A LARIAT- NO! RULER DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE RUNNING TO THE ROPES- JUST FOR JAMIE TO FOLLOW AND SEND HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Ruler managed to land on the apron, and now Jamie tries pulling him up- BUT RULER FORCES JAMIE TO BACK OFF WITH A FOREARM!
Persephone: Well I think this match has been long enough! Time limit reached, ding ding ding! WOOOOO TIME LIMIT DRAW!!!
James Peters: Please stop talking. Anyways, Ruler looks for a springboard knee strike but Jamie was able to avoid it, forcing Ruler to have to roll back to his feet. Ruler now turning towards Jamie- AND JAMIE DELIVERS A JOHN WOO DROPKICK, SENDING RULER CRASHING RIGHT INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!!! Every time that dropkick connects it’s devastating, and it doesn’t help that the force of it sent Ruler back first into those turnbuckles. This might be the perfect chance for Jamie to put this one away.
Rich Russillo: Jamie now lifting Ruler up from behind, AND I THINK HE’S LOOKING FOR INTO THE DREAMSCAPE- BUT RULER QUICKLY JUMPS UP AND STEPS OFF OF THE TURNBUCKLES, FLIPPING OVER JAMIE IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY! RULER NOW DELIVERING A GERMAN SUPLEX TO JAMIE, AND HE DOESN’T STOP THERE!! RULER PULLS HIM UP WHILE HOLDING ONTO HIM FROM BEHIND, AND NOW RULER PULLS JAMIE IN WITH A RIPCORD SET-UP BEFORE DELIVERING THE BLOODRAYNE MAKER!
Persephone: :mjcry: I wish! Jamie got out of the way of that too! Why do these guys hate getting hit?
James Peters: SUPERKICK BY O’HARA!!!! THAT SUPERKICK JUST CAUSED RULER TO TURN AROUND, AND NOW RULER IS ON SPAGHETTI LEGS BEFORE- PELE KICK!!!
Rich Russillo: NO! RULER ATTEMPTED A PELE KICK BUT JAMIE CAUGHT THE LEG, AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S PLANNING TO MAKE RULER PAY FOR HIS MISTAKE AS HE APPLIES AN ANKLE LOCK!!! JAMIE HAS THE ANKLE LOCK APPLIED, AND I DIDN’T EXPECT TO SEE THIS FROM JAMIE BUT THIS IS EXACTLY WHY HE IS WHO HE IS! HE’S BEEN AT THE TOP OF THIS INDUSTRY FOR YEARS, HE KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING!
James Peters: You’re right, but Ruler clearly had some tricks of his own up his sleeve as he managed to roll forward, causing Jamie to be sent through the ropes as he escapes the ankle lock! Jamie grabbed onto the ropes and landed on the apron, but I think it’s safe to say Ruler has the advantage in a situation like this! Ruler gets back up and goes after Jamie, AND HE SWINGS AT JAMIE BUT JAMIE BLOCKS IT BEFORE DELIVERING A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! RULER STUMBLES BACKWARDS AND NOW JAMIE LOOKS TO RE-ENTER THE RING- BUT WAIT A SECOND, LOOK AT RULER!!!
Rich Russillo: RULER RUNS IN AND GRABS JAMIE IN A FRONT FACELOCK BEFORE PULLING HIS HEAD THROUGH THE ROPES!!!! WILL OF NICHOLAS!!!!! RULER WITH A ROPE HUNG DDT VARIATION OF THE WILL OF NICHOLAS, AND THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO KNOCK JAMIE’S LIGHTS OUT FOR GOOD!!!! JAMIE IS JUST BARELY AWAY FROM THE ROPES, AND THAT SEEMS TO BE ENOUGH FOR RULER AS HE QUICKLY HOOKS THE LEGS TO PICK UP THE BIGGEST VICTORY OF HIS CAREER!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THR-
Rich Russillo: NO, JAMIE MANAGED TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!!! THAT WAS THE FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH BUT NOT THE LAST AS JAMIE MANAGES TO KEEP HIMSELF IN THIS ONE!
Persephone: Wow. Okay. So that sucked. It’s nice to know that Ruler has some of the most useless moves out there right now, maybe now Jamie can hurry up and end this match since apparently Ruler dropping you on your head is the equivalent of getting hit with a pillow.
James Peters: I wouldn’t go that far, especially considering that Ruler has the upper hand right now. Ruler now slowly pulling Jamie back up, AND FROM THE LOOKS OF IT, HE MAY BE TRYING TO DROP JAMIE ON HIS HEAD ONCE AGAIM WITH MADE IN HEAVEN!!!!
Rich Russillo: HE DOESN’T GET IT, THOUGH!!! JAMIE PULLED RULER’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM, AND NOW THERE’S A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP BY O’HARA!!!! Jamie pulls himself back into this match in a big way, and now Ruler is in a bit of trouble as he just lost his edge in this match! Jamie now has a chance to get back into this, and that’s the problem you’ll always face in a match against someone so much more experienced than you. They’ll find ways to poke holes in your strategy even when you think they’re flawless.
Persephone: Well I guess I was right to call Ruler out for his moves being terrible. Now Jamie’s probably going to finish this match up since Ruler sucks and couldn’t put this match away. Rex would’ve won in thirty seconds, just saying.
James Peters: Well both men are getting back to their feet, AND NOW RULER LOOKS FOR A SHOOT KICK- BUT JAMIE CATCHES THE LEG AND DELIVERS A DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP!!! JAMIE NOW WITH A GROUNDED ELBOW TO RULER’S JAW, AND IT LOOKS LIKE JAMIE DEFINITELY HAS THE UPPER HAND RIGHT NOW AS RULER IS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE!
Rich Russillo: Jamie pulls Ruler up before kneeing him in the midsection repeatedly, AND NOW JAMIE SENDS RULER INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING WITH AN IRISH WHIP BEFORE CHARGING IN- RIGHT INTO A BOOT TO THE JAW! RULER NOW GRABBING JAMIE AND PUTTING HIM IN THE CORNER, AND NOW RULER DELIVERS A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT THAT DROPS JAMIE INTO A SEATED POSITION! Ruler now beginning to viciously stomp away at Jamie, not giving him a chance to breathe as the referee is forced to begin counting!
Referee: ONE!… TWO!… THREE!… FOUR!… FIV-
James Peters: Ruler backs off as Jamie slowly pulls himself out of the corner, AND NOW THERE’S A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! It’s safe to say that Ruler is in control of this one right now, and it’s all thanks to that DDT he managed to connect with earlier! Ruler allows Jamie to start pushing himself back to his feet, but if I had to guess it’s because he has something in mind! Jamie manages to stand once more, AND IT LOOKS LIKE I WAS RIGHT ABOUT MY PREDICTION! REVOLUTIONIZER-
Persephone: OH COME ON, WHY WON’T ANY OF YOU JUST DIE ALREADY????
Rich Russillo: JAMIE DUCKED UNDER IT BEFORE TURNING RULER INSIDE OUT WITH A DISCUS LARIAT!!!!! THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BEFORE!! IF YOU GIVE JAMIE THE OPPORTUNITY HE’LL FIND A WAY TO STOP YOUR PLANS RIGHT IN THEIR TRACKS! JAMIE NOW GRABBING RULER AND LIFTING HIM UP BEFORE DROPPING HIM ON HIS HEAD WITH A SINGLE UNDERHOOK BRAINBUSTER!!!! JAMIE NOW HOOKING THE LEG, AND WILL THIS BE ENOUGH TO PUT DOWN THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION!!???
ONE!
TWO!!
THR-
Rich Russillo: NO, IT’S NOT ENOUGH!!!! RULER MANAGES TO GET THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO, KEEPING HIS CHANCES ALIVE AS HE MAY POSSIBLY TAKE DOWN ONE OF THE VERY BEST TO EVER DO IT!
James Peters: Jamie returns to his feet, and I don’t think he minds the fact that Ruler kicked out. We all know how Jamie operates, and he clearly believes he has this match under control. With his track record he very well might, but we won’t know for sure until it’s over. Ruler now slowly beginning to sit up, BUT JAMIE RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE DROPPING HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A PENALTY KICK! It looks like Jamie doesn’t plan to slow down just because Ruler kicked out!
Rich Russillo: Yeah, it looks like he somehow has even more up his sleeve, AS HE MANAGES TO DEADLIFT RULER UP IN THE AIR BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH A HIGH ANGLE GERMAN SUPLEX!!!! RULER IS FORCED TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING, AND JAMIE NOW ROLLS OUT TO THE APRON AS HE KNOWS HE HAS RULER RIGHT WHERE HE WANTS HIM! Ruler uses the apron to get back up, AND JAMIE NOW RUNS IN BEFORE DELIVERING AN APRON PENALTY KICK, DROPPING RULER ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! Jack Ripley should be watching all this very closely right now!
Persephone: I’m not so sure about that. If Jack really wants that match he should probably avoid watching this, otherwise he’ll be bored to death.
James Peters: Jamie drops down from the apron and meets Ruler at ringside, and now he drags Ruler up before slamming his face onto the ring apron! It doesn’t look like he plans to spend very long out here as he prepares to send Ruler back into the ring- BUT RULER STOPS HIMSELF BEFORE LANDING A BACK ELBOW TO JAMIE’S FACE! RULER NOW QUICKLY GRABBING JAMIE, AND HE SENDS O’HARA CRASHING INTO THE STEEL STEPS!!!
Rich Russillo: Ruler now headed towards Jamie, AND HE GRABS JAMIE BY THE HEAD BEFORE SLAMMING HIS FACE ONTO THE STEPS! Ruler now sending Jamie back into the ring before following behind, and now Ruler waits in the furthest corner of the ring! Ruler clearly seems to have something planned, and whatever it is can’t be good for Jamie at this point of the match! Jamie is slowly starting to push himself back up, and this seems to be exactly what Ruler wants!
Persephone: Well I WANT this match to end. Why doesn’t anyone care about what I want?
Rich Russillo: RULER RUNS IN, AND HE GOES FOR THE RV1!!!!
James Peters: LEG LARIAT BY JAMIE!!!! JAMIE MANAGED TO CATCH RULER BY SURPRISE WITH A LEG LARIAT, PREVENTING RULER FROM CONNECTING WITH THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE REVOLUTIONIZER!!!! JAMIE IS BACK IN THIS ONCE AGAIN, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE ISN’T STOPPING AT JUST THAT LEG LARIAT!!! HE QUICKLY PULLS RULER UP, BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH INTO THE DREAMSCAPE!!!! THE BELLY TO BACK PILEDRIVER CONNECTS, AND NOBODY DOES IT BETTER!! THERE’S THE COVER BY JAMIE, AND I THINK IT’S SAFE TO SAY THAT THIS MATCH IS OVER!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
Rich Russillo: NO, RULER LIVES ON!!!! RULER MANAGED TO GET THE SHOULDER UP, AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOU SPOKE TOO SOON JAMES! Ruler still has a chance in this one, and that’s all anyone needs when they want to win! Jamie now heading up to the top rope though, and it looks like he may be trying to prove me wrong here by ending this one before Ruler even has the opportunity to get back into this! Ruler hasn’t even moved since he got the shoulder up, which just goes to show how badly he’s hurting right now.
Persephone: Good! That means this is the end of the match, right!?
Rich Russillo: Jamie’s up top, so it very well might be! WELCOME BACK, O’ SLUMBERING ACE!!!!!
James Peters: NO!!! RULER ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY!!! RULER GOT OUT OF THE WAY AND JAMIE ROLLS THROUGH BACK TO HIS FEET!!! RULER TRIES TO PUSH HIMSELF UP NOW AS HE SWINGS WILDLY AT JAMIE, BUT JAMIE DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES! SLINGBLADE BY O’HARA!!! JAMIE IS STILL IN CONTROL, AND NOW HE BEGINS PULLING RULER UP BEFORE- WAIT A MINUTE!!! INSIDE CRADLE BY RULER!!!!!
ONE!
TW-
James Peters: JAMIE’S OUT RIGHT AWAY AND BOTH MEN GET RIGHT BACK UP- AND RULER LANDS AN ENZUIGIRI!!!!
Rich Russillo: Jamie drops down to a knee and I don’t think he even knows where he is! Ruler quickly takes a breath and pushes himself back up, AND NOW THERE’S A SHOOT KICK TO THE CHEST OF JAMIE! AND A SECOND ONE! AND A THIRD! AND A FOURTH! RULER NOW TAKING A STEP BACK, BEFORE LOOKING FOR THE REVOLUTIONIZER- WHICH ONCE AGAIN IS UNABLE TO CONNECT AS JAMIE CATCHES RULER’S LEG BEFORE DELIVERING A SECOND DRAGON SCREW, ALLOWING HIM TO TRANSITION INTO A HEEL HOOK!!!! THAT’S THE SAME LEG JAMIE’S WORKED ON THROUGHOUT THIS MATCH, THAT PAIN IS GOING TO START GETTING TO RULER EVENTUALLY!
Persephone: YES YES YES TAP OUT TAPOUTTAPOUTTAPOUT!!!!!!!
James Peters: Ruler didn’t show many signs of wear and tear on that leg up to this point, but I think you’re right Rich, that pain is slowly starting to catch up to him now! Ruler is struggling in this submission, far more than he was with the ankle lock or even the dragon screw earlier! Ruler might not even have a choice here, he might actually have to tap out!
Rich Russillo: Ruler starts to slowly pull himself towards the ropes, but the question is whether or not it’ll actually matter! There’s a good chance he may have to tap out before he can make it there, and even if he doesn’t, that leg provides a clear weakness that Jamie would easily be able to capitalize on! Either way, Ruler is at a big disadvantage and I’m really not sure what he could do to combat it at this point in the match! Ruler is still inching closer and closer towards the ropes, but can he make a difference at this stage in the match!? Can he save his chances!?
Persephone: Hopefully not.
Rich Russillo: RULER REACHES OUT FOR THE ROPES!!!
James Peters: BUT JAMIE JUST RELEASED THE SUBMISSION! JAMIE RELEASED THE SUBMISSION ON HIS OWN BEFORE PULLING RULER AWAY FROM THE ROPES, AND THIS RIGHT HERE IS SOMETHING WE CLEARLY DIDN’T ACCOUNT FOR! JAMIE CLEARLY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND HE WAS PREPARED TO FIND A WAY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL! JAMIE NOW SEEMINGLY LOOKING TO LOCK IN A SINGLE LEG CRAB- BUT RULER IS FINALLY ABLE TO FREE HIMSELF FROM O’HARA’S GRASP, USING HIS GOOD LEG TO KICK JAMIE AWAY!
Rich Russillo: Ruler managed to get Jamie off of him, but now he’s having a bit of trouble standing on both feet! We didn’t really notice until now just how much Jamie had attacked that leg, and I’m not so sure Ruler noticed either thanks to all the damage Jamie also did to the midsection and to the head. Jamie’s a master at this though, so we should’ve known that he’d be capable of slowly picking his opponent apart. Both men are back on their feet though, AND RULER DOES HIS BEST TO RUSH IN, BEFORE STRIKING FIRST WITH AN ELBOW STRIKE TO JAMIE’S JAW!
James Peters: JAMIE RETALIATES WITH A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION, AND HE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A FOREARM TO THE FACE, CAUSING RULER TO STUMBLE BACKWARDS! RULER ALMOST DROPS TO A KNEE THANKS TO HIS BAD LEG, AND JAMIE LOOKS TO CAPITALIZE BY KICKING THAT LEG OUT FROM UNDER RULER, DROPPING RULER ON HIS FACE! JAMIE NOW ATTEMPTING A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE BACK, BUT RULER MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY! Jamie turns around before trying to grab Ruler- AND THERE’S A KICK TO THE HEAD OF O’HARA!
Rich Russillo: Ruler uses the ropes to get back up while Jamie barely knows where he is, AND NOW RULER LOOKS FOR A CLOTHESLINE- BUT JAMIE HAD THAT SCOUTED AND DUCKS UNDER BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A PELE KICK OF HIS OWN! NOW IT’S RULER ON SPAGHETTI LEGS, AND JAMIE BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES BEFORE- NO! RULER WITH A BIG BOOT!!! RULER STOPPED JAMIE WITH A BOOT TO THE JAW, BUT HE HAD TO USE THE BAD LEG IN ORDER TO DO IT, AND THAT CLEARLY TOOK A BIT OUT OF HIM!
Persephone: Not as much as it took out of Jamie, clearly.
James Peters: That’s true. Jamie just dropped down to a knee and now Ruler pulls him in, possibly looking for “Made in Heaven” once again, BUT JAMIE DELIVERS SOME PUNCHES TO THE SIDE, FORCING RULER TO BACK OFF OF HIM! JAMIE NOW WITH A FOREARM TO THW JAW, BUT THIS TIME RULER IS ABLE TO QUICKLY RESPOND WITH A CHOP TO THE CHEST! JAMIE WITH ANOTHER FOREARM! RULER WITH ANOTHER CHOP! ANOTHER FOREARM BY JAMIE! ANOTHER CHOP BY- WAIT NO! JAMIE BLOCKED IT BEFORE DELIVERING A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! JAMIE NOW PULLING HIM INTO A SUPLEX POSITION!
Rich Russillo: WAIT A SECOND, NO! RULER PULLS HIMSELF BACK DOWN, AND NOW HE LIFTS JAMIE UP BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A FALCON ARROW!!! RULER CONNECTS WITH THE FALCON ARROW, BUT IMMEDIATELY RULER HOLDS ONTO THAT BAD LEG! Ruler knows that he can’t keep this up for much longer. If he’s going to win this match he’s going to have to do it now, and my God what a win it’d be! It’s not often that ANYONE is able to get a victory over Jamie O’Hara, and look at the type of Elitists that have been able to do it over time. Minerva, Methuselah, Kassidy Heart, Jamie’s Bloodsport opponent Jack Ripley, these are all former World Champions. With a World Championship match coming up soon, can Ruler add himself to that list?
Persephone: Who cares?
James Peters: Ruler slowly starts pushing himself up to his feet Jamie slowly begins sitting up, AND NOW RULER RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING METEORA!!!!! CATCH THE RAINBOW CONNECTS, AND ONCE AGAIN RULER HAD TO ACT WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD FOR THE DAMAGE JAMIE’S DONE TO HIS LEG, BUT HERE’S THE PROBLEM! RULER CAN’T CAPITALIZE!!! RULER CAN’T GO FOR THE COVER RIGHT NOW, AS JAMIE CLEARLY PLAYED HIS CARDS RIGHT AND STOPPED RULER FROM BEING ABLE TO USE MOST OF HIS MOVES EFFECTIVELY!
Rich Russillo: Ruler uses the ropes to pull himself up, and now he starts pulling Jamie up to his feet! Ruler is looking to put this one away, and if he can’t use the Revolutionizer it looks like he’ll use another move he’s attempted throughout this match! RULER GOES FOR THE BLOODRAYNE MAKER!!!!
James Peters: BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!!! JAMIE ONCE AGAIN MANAGES TO SLIP OUT OF RULER’S GRASP, ONLY THIS TIME JAMIE CONNECTS WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF RULER’S KNEE, DROPPING RULER DOWN TO A KNEE!!!! THAT CLEARLY CAUGHT RULER OFF GUARD, AND NOW O’HARA WASTES NO TIME CAPITALIZING AS HE IMMEDIATELY RUNS THE ROPES!!!!!
Rich Russillo: IN EXCELSIS!!!!! JAMIE NEARLY TAKES RULER’S HEAD OFF WITH THAT KNEE STRIKE, AND IT’S SAFE TO SAY RULER’S OUT OF THIS ONE!!!! JAMIE USING HIS IN-RING EXPERIENCE TO HIS ADVANTAGE IN ORDER TO TARGET THE WEAKNESS HE CREATED, AND JUST LIKE THAT RULER IS DOWN AND OUT!!! JAMIE O’HARA DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEGS, AND THIS TIME I DON’T THINK WE’LL BE SEEING RULER KICK OUT!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… JJAAAMMMIIIEEEE OOOOOOO’HHAAARRRRAAAAA!!!!!!!
(‘Kashmir (Paratus Intro)’ hits, and the fans begin cheering as Jamie O’Hara rolls off of Ruler, getting back to his feet. Jamie has his hand raised by the referee, and after picking up the victory and doing what he set out to do this week, Jamie doesn’t spend much time remaining in the ring. He looks down on Ruler for a moment, before just turning and stepping through the ropes as the loud cheers continue.)
James Peters: And there it is! Jack Ripley, this is what Jamie O’Hara is capable of! Ruler did his best but in the end, his best just was not enough. Jamie O’Hara is one of the best in the world, and this is exactly what that means. Not everyone gets to defeat an Elitist like him. In fact, most people don’t. Ruler definitely did a great job tonight however, and I believe he deserves some credit for that.
Persephone: Why? He lost. He stinks. Why are we giving losers participation awards?
Rich Russillo: Well Ruler is about to compete in an EAW World Championship match, and this is exactly the kind of energy he needs to bring if he wants to win. He may not have won tonight, but who knows if he… Wait a second…
(Ruler is seen pushing himself to a knee, and suddenly the fans are heard cheering. Ruler doesn’t take notice of this however, as he is still hurting following that match.)
James Peters: IT’S DONOVAN DUKE!!!!! DONOVAN DUKE JUST HOPPED OVER THE BARRICADE AN ENTERED THE RING, AND NOW HE’S JUST BEATING THE HELL OUT OF RULER!!!! WE KNEW THAT THESE TWO HAD UNFINISHED BUSINESS AFTER WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEIR CONFRONTATION EARLIER DIDN’T SETTLE THINGS AT ALL!!! INSTEAD, HERE DONOVAN IS, RIGHT AFTER AN ALREADY GRUELING MATCH!!!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN TAKES RULER TO THE MAT WITH A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN, AND NOW HE BEGINS DELIVERING PUNCHES AND ELBOWS TO THE FACE, LOOKING TO MAKE RULER PAY FOR COSTING HIM HIS MATCH AGAINST JACK RIPLEY!!!!
Persephone: Great… So I can’t leave yet…
James Peters: RULER MANAGES TO TURN DONOVAN OVER BEFORE DELIVERING A FEW STRIKES, BUT DONOVAN GETS THE BETTER OF RULER AS HE ONCE AGAIN PULLS HIMSELF ON TOP OF THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION!!!! RULER AT THIS POINT IS FORCED TO JUST TRY AND BLOCK THESE STRIKES AS HE’S ALREADY TAKEN SO MUCH DAMAGE FROM JAMIE!!!
Rich Russillo: WAIT, NO! RULER FINALLY PUSHES DONOVAN OFF OF HIM, AND NOW BOTH MEN GET TO THEIR FEET!!! RULER NOW SWINGING AT DONOVAN-
James Peters: NO, DONOVAN DUCKS DOWN AND SCOOPS RULER UP!!! DUKE OF HAZARD!!!! THE DUKE OF HAZARD CONNECTS, AND DONOVAN TAKES OUT RULER, GETTING SOME PAYBACK AFTER LAST WEEK!!!!
(The fans cheer as Donovan Duke stands tall, although eventually, the cheers are no longer directed to Donovan.)
Rich Russillo: WAIT, NO WAY!!!!!
James Peters: ALEX MYERS IS HERE, LOOK OUR DONOVAN!!!!!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN TURNS AROUND BUT HE’S TOO LATE!!! ALEX KICKS HIM IN THE MIDSECTION, AND NOW THERE’S SPACE BOUND!!!!! SPACE BOUND CONNECTS, AND NOW ALEX HEADS UP TO THE TOP ROPE, LOOKING TO SEND A MESSAGE BEFORE BLOODSPORT!!!!!
James Peters: ANGELIC BLESSING!!! ALEX MYERS CONNECTS WITH THE ANGELIC BLESSING, AND IT LOOKS LIKE ALEX IS STANDING TALL HERE TONIGHT AFTER TAKING OUT DONOVAN DUKE!!!! DONOVAN AND RULER WERE WORRIED ABOUT EACH OTHER, BUT WHAT THEY NEEDED TO THINK ABOUT WAS THE FACT THAT THIS IS A FATAL FOUR WAY, NOT A ONE ON ONE!
Rich Russillo: Yeah, and speaking of which, here comes the Champion himself!
(Drake King is seen at the stage, and the fans cheer as Alex Myers turns towards the stage. Drake is just seen laughing at all of the chaos taking place in the ring, before unhooking his EAW World Championship, kissing it before raising it up in the air.)
Persephone: Does that idiot actually have a reason to show up every week? All he does is laugh at them and leave, not that they don’t deserve to be made fun of.
James Peters: That Championship is what it’s all about! Will Drake King walk out of Bloodsport with the EAW World Championship, or will his confidence make way for a new Champion to be crowned!
Rich Russillo: We’ll just have to find out soon enough! Drake King clearly watched how things unfolded between the three challengers, but if you ask me, that’s the man they all need to be sending a message to.
(Drake remains on the stage, a grin on his face as he stares at the Elitists in the ring, still holding up his Championship. Alex has a focused look on their face as they look at Drake, and from there the camera fades to black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
