(EAW intro plays.)
(A recap of last week’s Voltage is shown. Daryl Kinkade, Diamond Dixon, Pandora Paisley, Effy McAvoy, Candice Blair, Michael Machina and Bea Valentine are all seen picking up victories. After this, the camera fades to the T-Mobile Arena In Las Vegas, Nevada. The opening pyro shoots out as the fans in attendance are all seen cheering, and the camera then pans to the commentary table where James Peters, Rich Russillo and Persephone are seen.)
James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Sunday Night Voltage! As always I am James Peters, and alongside me are Rich Russillo and Persephone Tsitsipas. Everyone, this is THE FINAL Sunday Night Voltage before Bloodsport!
Rich Russillo: This is bound to be a show to look forward to. Bloodsport will be exciting, but before that we have some awesome matches to get to such as-
Persephone: We don’t care. Luis is gone, so this show isn’t worth watching anymore.
James Peters: :francis: Get over it already.
(Voltage fades to the stage, where ‘Self Help Tape’ by Moses Sumney begins to play. The crowd explodes with cheers, and before long the Voltage Commissioner Captain Charisma begins walking out to the stage. Captain Charisma is holding a microphone in his hand, but he doesn’t have a smile on his face as he begins walking down the ramp, making his way towards the ring.)
James Peters: The Voltage Commissioner is on his way down the ramp right now, and it looks like he has something to say before we get this show started.
Rich Russillo: Last week was very chaotic, so I can’t really say I’m surprised if that’s what this was about. There’s a lot to address, especially knowing that Bloodsport is only next week!
Persephone: If the announcement isn’t about Luis finally being brought back to Voltage, I don’t really care what he has to say.
(Captain Charisma walks up the steel steps before entering the ring. ‘Self Help Tape’ fades out once he is in the ring, and Captain Charisma begins to speak.)
Captain Charisma: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Sunday Night Voltage! We have an exciting night lined up for you all tonight, but before we get to any of the matches I’d like to take a moment to address everything that’s happened last week. See, I’ve been the Commissioner of Voltage for a very long time, so I know better than to be surprised by some of the things that I see in this business. While it’s not never acceptable, I understand that there will always be occasions where Elitists feel the need to attack each other, interfere with matches, and more. Tensions run high in this business and sometimes they can’t wait for an official match to finally get their hands on their enemy. However, what happened last week was a bit too much. We’ve crossed the line, and as the Commissioner of Voltage I need to use this time to tell the Voltage roster that we can’t have nights like that right before our upcoming marquee event.
Captain Charisma: Last week, nearly every single match on Voltage faced some sort of interference, but that’s not all. Not only were these interferences a common theme on this show, but only two weeks before Bloodsport I had to watch the EAW World Championship competitors go at it in a brawl that wouldn’t have ended if security didn’t come out, Methuselah be misted by Caroline, the British Invasion go at it with their Bloodsport opponents, and Ms. Extreme try to break Michael Machina’s face. Bloodsport is only one week away. In one week you all will have the opportunity to do what you’ve been waiting to do since this season began. One week and you all are allowed to get as violent as you please. There will be nothing getting in the way for you all at Bloodsport next week, but until then, I don’t want a single Elitist on this roster touching their Bloodsport oppo-
(‘RED THUNDER’ by Butcher Babies hits, cutting off Captain Charisma. The crowd once again explodes with cheers, and Ms. Extreme is seen walking out with a microphone in her hand. Ms. Extreme has a smirk on her face, and she begins walking down the ramp to meet Captain Charisma in the ring.)
James Peters: Here comes Ms. Extreme, who was one of the Elitists responsible for Captain Charisma coming out right now!
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme forced blood out of Michael Machina’s head, and I can imagine things would’ve gotten worse if security didn’t show up. From the looks of it, I don’t think Ms. Extreme agrees with Captain Charisma right now.
Persephone: I don’t, either. The only bearable parts of being here are hoping that the matches are cut short and that people bleed.
(Ms. Extreme makes her way into the ring, and as her entrance music fades out she begins to speak to Captain Charisma.)
Ms. Extreme: Captain Charisma, you know I’ve always been the type to speak my mind so I’m not going to lie to you. I was never going to wait for Bloodsport to get my hands on Michael Machina.
(Captain Charisma lowers his head, having already understood that this was what he’d hear from her.)
Ms. Extreme: This is the fight Michael Machina asked for, and whether he likes it or not I’m going to give that to him.
Captain Charisma: Well, I-
(Suddenly, ‘Apostle’s Warning’ by Mobb Deep hits.)
James Peters: Well it looks like we’re not wasting any time!
Rich Russillo: Michael Machina is here, and I have to imagine he’s not happy after what Ms. Extreme did last week!
(As both Ms. Extreme and Captain Charisma turn towards the stage, Michael Machina begins walking out. Michael Machina is also holding a microphone in his hand, and he is staring directly at Ms. Extreme. Before long, Machina begins walking down the ramp, heading towards the ring as the two Bloodsport opponents stare at each other.)
James Peters: Things could definitely get heated very quickly here. Captain Charisma was hoping to prevent tonight’s Voltage from having all of the chaos of last week, but seeing how quickly these two have made an appearance, I’m not so sure that this will be the case.
Rich Russillo: Michael Machina definitely isn’t pleased about last week, and we know how much of a threat he can be. We might need security out here ASAP, and these two haven’t even fought.
Persephone: If they’re not gonna fight they can leave. I don’t want to hear them speak.
(Michael Machina enters the ring, and his entrance music fades out. There is a brief staredown between the two Bloodsport opponents, before Michael Machina turns towards Captain Charisma.)
Michael Machina: She’s right. I asked for this. What she did last week was just the price that’s paid competing in this business at the highest level, so I don’t need anyone getting in the way. Not when Ms. Extreme now has a debt to be paid.
(Ms. Extreme raises her eyebrows after hearing this, amused by the threat thrown at her.)
Ms. Extreme: A debt to be paid? Really? Michael we’ve already had this talk, and what happened last week won’t even compare to what I do to you at Bloodsport. Last week was a message that you desperately needed to receive, so if that message was lost after all those knees to the head I’ll gladly repeat it for you. I was the worst possible option for you to do this with. You decided to make this personal. You decided to create the tension that’s in the ring right now because you couldn’t handle the fact that the most dangerous Elitist on this brand wasn’t yourself, and you turned what could’ve been a normal match into a massacre that you’ll be on the receiving end of. It’s one thing to want to face me in the ring, but when you went out of your way to spear me you decided how this was going to go. You decided that we weren’t just going to have a normal match, and you asked for every bit of what I did to you last week and more.
(The fans cheer, but after hearing this, a smirk appears on the face of Michael Machina.)
Michael Machina: I know what I did. I remember every bit of it, and if you think I wasn’t ready for you to fight back you don’t know the first bit about me. You can start kneeing me in the face right after my match, I could spear you in the middle of yours, but soon enough there will be no excuses, nowhere to run, and nobody stopping anything once I tear you apart. We’re in a Hardcore Iron Man match which means that it doesn’t matter how many times you’re hit with a Bullet From Hell, or a .50 Cal or anything else I choose to throw at you. You’ll have no choice but endure it until the match is over, and by the time it’s over there won’t be much left of you. You can talk as much as you’d like, but everything will change soon enough. Don’t forget who you’re dealing with, because at any given moment I could always remind you that this won’t just be like any other match you have.
Ms. Extreme: If I was scared of your threats I wouldn’t have spent last week caving your face in. I know what I’m getting myself into and trust me, when that Iron Man match ends I won’t be left in a pool of blood, I’ll be standing over you while the referee raises my hand. I understand what you’re capable of, Michael. I’ve been in the ring before, and you’ve already done enough damage to let me know what you’re all about. I’ve been doing this for a very long time though, and there’s a reason I have never been the kind of Elitist to back down from a challenge regardless of whether it came from the biggest threat on the roster or someone that poses no threat at all. No matter who it is I’m facing I’m walking into the match expecting a victory, and with you as my opponent, victory isn’t only possible. It’s exactly what’s going to happen. I told you to be careful what you wished for way back at the first Voltage of the season, and I meant that.
(Knowing that there’s tension in the ring, Captain Charisma looks to get in between the two Elitists. However, Michael Machina gestures towards the Commissioner, telling him that it isn’t necessary.)
Michael Machina: Stay confident while you can. Just don’t be surprised when this doesn’t end how you thought it would. When you were hit with the Bullet From Hell and I accepted your challenge for Bloodsport, you should’ve known better than to think it’d be wise pushing me any further. You’ve been in this company for years and you’ve been wrestling even longer. You’ve seen a lot in this industry and I have no intentions of taking that away from you, but you’ve never seen another Michael Machina. Our first match a year ago didn’t exactly end in decisive fashion, but when Bloodsport is over there will be no questions left regarding the two of us. This match will end as decisively as possible, because I won’t stop until there is nothing left of you. Just remember that the last time you told me to be careful what I wished for, it didn’t end well for you. This time won’t be any different, so if I were you I’d be very careful heading into Bloodsport.
(There is a mixed reaction from the fans, but the look on Ms. Extreme’s face doesn’t change as she doesn’t back down from Michael Machina. After a moment, she begins to speak once again.)
Ms. Extreme: The last thing I’m going to do heading into Bloodsport is be worried about what you think of me. I’m expecting you to live up to every single one of your threats, Michael. Any less than that would be a disappointment, because I not only want to face you at your best next week, I want to dismantle you knowing that you walked into that match at your very best with absolutely nothing hindering you. You’re going to lose at Bloodsport, and when you do, it won’t be pretty. This is your final warning, Michael. Don’t walk into Bloodsport expecting to take me down so easily. You’ll need your very best if you want to stand a chance.
(The fans cheer, while the Elitists inside of the ring remain silent. After some time, Michael Machina just begins to say a few words.)
Michael Machina: In that case, I will give you the same word of advice you gave me. Be careful what you wish for.
James Peters: WOAH, WHAT THE HELL!! MICHAEL MACHINA JUST CAUGHT MS. EXTREME WITH A FOREARM, AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE WERE RIGHT TO THINK THIS MIGHT GET HEATED!
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME IS THROWING SOME PUNCHES TO THE RIBS AS MICHAEL MACHINA PULLS HER UP, AND NOW THESE TWO ARE JUST TRADING PUNCHES BACK AND FORTH! THINGS HAVE BECOME HEATED QUICKLY, AND NOW CAPTAIN CHARISMA IS DOING HIS BEST TO SPLIT THIS UP, BUT THAT MIGHT BE A BIT DIFFICULT SEEING HOW HEATED THIS HAS BECOME!
Persephone: Thank God there was actually a fight. The show just started and I already feel like I wasted my time.
James Peters: MICHAEL SWINGS AT MS. EXTREME- BUT MS. EXTREME DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE KICKING MACHINA IN THE MIDSECTION! MICHAEL MACHINA STUMBLES BACK-
Rich Russillo: BUT HE BOUNCES OFF OF THE ROPES, BEFORE SPRINTING FULL SPEED INTO THE OPPOSITE PAIR OF ROPES!!!! BULLET FROM HELL!!!!!! MICHAEL MACHINA JUST BOUNCED OFF THE ROPES AND CONNECTED WITH THE BULLET FROM HELL, AND MICHAEL DOESN’T STOP THERE! HE REMAINS ON TOP OF MS. EXTREME, ALLOWING HIM TO DELIVER ELBOWS TO THE HEAD AS MS. EXTREME IS DEFENSELESS! IT LOOKS LIKE MICHAEL MACHINA WANTS SOME PAYBACK FOR LAST WEEK, BUT LOOK!!!
James Peters: CAPTAIN CHARISMA IS CALLING FOR SECURITY, BUT I THINK IT’S A BIT TOO LATE FOR THAT! AS THE SECURITY GUARDS RUSH OUT, MICHAEL MACHINA CONTINUES TO ELBOW MS. EXTREME, CAUSING BLOOD TO BEGIN POURING DOWN HER FOREHEAD! MICHAEL MACHINA DRAWS BLOOD AS THE SECURITY GUARDS MAKE THEIR WAY DOWN THE RAMP AND TO RINGSIDE, AND MICHAEL MACHINA IS QUICK TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING!
(Michael Machina rolls out of the ring, allowing the security guards to separate him from Ms. Extreme knowing that the damage is already done. Captain Charisma doesn’t look pleased knowing that all this has happened, but Michael Machina slowly backpedals up the ramp, staring directly towards Ms. Extreme.)
James Peters: Michael Machina gets some payback for last week, and I suppose Ms. Extreme may be lucky that her match isn’t until later tonight after this! We already knew that the Bloodsport match between these two would be brutal, but these two have taken things to another level.
Rich Russillo: Captain Charisma tried to prevent things from becoming violent again until Bloodsport, but I think that went out the window as soon as these two walked out. This was never going to end well, and as we can see, it didn’t end well at all for Ms. Extreme.
Persephone: That wasn’t enough blood. That wasn’t worth all that useless talking whatsoever. God, I hate it here. Isn’t there any way I can see Luis again?
(Michael Machina is seen on the stage, surrounded by security guards as he stares towards the ring. Inside of the ring, a few security guards and Captain Charisma are seen tending to Ms. Extreme to make sure she is okay. Michael Machina finally begins making his way to the back, and as Captain Charisma looks towards the stage not pleased by what happened, Voltage begins to fade away from ringside.)
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where Michael Machina faces Ms. Extreme in a Hardcore Iron Man match.)
(Voltage returns to ringside.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is a Dynasty vs Voltage Showcase Singles Match, and it is scheduled for… ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Monaco’ by Bad Bunny would hit the speakers to an uproar of boos, as Mikhaila Barra would make her way out onto the stage for her first match here tonight in EAW. She looked focused and confident tonight, taking it all in before she would make her way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Representing Friday Night Dynasty, from Dallas, Texas, weighing in tonight at 143 pounds, she is THE ‘LETHAL ADDER!!!!!!!!’ MIKHAILAAAAAAAAAAAAA BARRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
(‘My Own Summer’ by Deftones would hit next as the crowd would react with a mixed reaction of cheers and boos, as Selina Reyes would make her way out onto the stage next. Only her second match in EAW, she looks just as confident as her opponent does, as she would then begin to make her way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent! Representing Sunday Night Voltage, residing in San Antonio, Texas, weighing in tonight at 117 pounds, she is ‘THE ONYX QUEEN!!!!!!’ SELINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA REYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Here we go! It’s a Voltage versus Dynasty showcase match here tonight, as Selina Reyes goes up against the debuting Mikhaila Barra! After an impressive showing just last week going one on one up against Daryl Kinkade in spite of defeat, Selina looks to push through and pick up a massive victory as well as that victory coming to Sunday Night Voltage, while Mikhaila looks to start her career off in a much better way than Selina could.
James Peters: Well we’re just going to have to see what happens tonight as both women begin to circle around and pace the ring, keeping their eyes locked onto one another… before rushing forward and engaging into a collar and elbow tie up to start this match out! Both women are looking to fight for the early control, to see who gets the opening advantage of this match.
Persephone: I don’t know why they had to bring Dynasty “talent” over here to compete on Voltage just because of their marquee live event. Why couldn’t they have sent them over on Showdown? I already have to deal with a lot of the talentless hacks that we have on our own roster, this doesn’t help us in the slightest I fear.
Rich Russillo: Well while you’re going on about a whole lot of nothing Seph, Selina is going to find the opening that she needs to start this match off strong, pulling Barra over and into a standing headlock in the centre of the ring! But Mikhaila isn’t looking to let her debut start off on a weak note, as she pushes Selina back into the ropes, slipping out of the headlock and pushing her off into the ropes, Selina bounces off, AND A SHOULDER TACKLE BY BARRA EARLY!
James Peters: The Onyx Queen drops to the mat early in this match and Mikhaila has that cocky smirk painted all over her face, as she is going to run off of the ropes, looking to continue the attack, but Selina is going to slide her body under her, forcing Mikhaila to jump over her, running off the other side… BUT SELINA POPS TO HER FEET WITH AN ARM DRAG!
Rich Russillo: Selina Reyes throws Barra over into the mat with an arm drag, while holding onto her arm in the process of doing so, sliding back up to her knees and tugging in on the arm of Mikhaila, as she wrenches in the hold, keeping her right where she wants her to be!
James Peters: But Mikhaila is going to manage to fight out of this, rolling through and pulling away as she pops back up to her feet, as does Reyes, AND A CHOP ACROSS THE CHEST FROM MIKHAILA CAUSES A CRY OF AGONY OUT OF REYES, WHO BACKS INTO THE CORNER! And Mikhaila is going to overwhelm her further with strikes, lefts and rights!
Persephone: This Dynasty newbie has taken the advantage over this match so far, grabbing her by the wrist as she irish whips her on and over into the other corner, and she looks to run towards her full speed ahead… HAH! IDIOT GOT CAUGHT BY A BIG BOOT FROM REYES!
Rich Russillo: And that big boot from Reyes had caught Barra flesh in the face! That forces her to stumble away as Selina Reyes looks to take advantage of this opportunity that she was given to her, running off of the ropes, AND SHE CAPTURES MIKHAILA, DROPPING HER DOWN INTO THE MAT WITH THE RUNNING BULLDOG! BULLDOG CONNECTS! COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: BUT MIKHAILA BARRA CONNECTS AT THE COUNT OF TWO! Mikhaila stays alive! Selina Reyes could have picked up the victory right there but it just wasn’t it yet. Now, Selina is going to roll through and look to take advantage of the opening that was given to her, as she gets back up to her feet, AND AN ELBOW DROP TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD…!
Persephone: But she moves out of the way, and Selina is going to fall into the mat, completely missing that elbow drop, of course. If there is something that I’ve always hated, it’s watching what doesn’t work, and someone trying to attempt it anyway.
Rich Russillo: Well that doesn’t matter, as Mikhaila is going to get back up to her feet, bouncing into the ropes and launching forward as Selina was trying to get back up to her feet, AND MIKHAILA IS GOING TO SPIKE HER KNEE RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF SELINA’S HEAD! Keeping Selina down! Just like that, Barra has managed to find herself back in the position to possibly win this match!
James Peters: And now Mikhaila is going to lift Selina back up to her feet, and she shoots a massive forearm to the face of Selina, forcing her away! Followed by another forearm, and then a third one, BUT SELINA THEN SHOOTS FORWARD, LOOKING FOR AN ENZIGURI, BUT BARRA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!
Rich Russillo: And Selina is going to fall to her knees, and Mikhaila runs off of the ropes, AND COMES BOLTING IN WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! Down goes Selina Reyes! And Mikhaila is just taking in the heat right now from what she knows she is doing right, as the crowd is telling her how she feels.
James Peters: And Mikhaila is going to rip Selina back up to her feet, forcing her back into the corner, and she is going to lift her up onto the top rope, making sure she keeps her there with another massive forearm across the face! Reyes is stunned, and Mikhaila is going to climb to the top rope, following suit with her, hooking onto her…! AND SHE LIFTS HER HIGH INTO THE AIR, AND THEY ARE GOING TO COME CRASHING DOWN TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!
Persephone: SUPERPLEX CONNECTS! MASSIVE SUPERPLEX CONNECTS BY MIKHAIILA BARRA, NOW COME ON, PIN HER AND ACTUALLY END THIS MATCH!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Rich Russillo: BUT SELINA REYES KICKS OUT AT THE COUNT OF TWO! Selina Reyes manages to keep herself alive in this match, and you can tell that Mikhaila Barra is starting to get frustrated right now, but she needs to try to keep calm right now.
James Peters: I don’t think that is going to work, Rich! Mikhaila is extremely flustered AND frustrated, as she is going to mount Selina, and begin to wear her out with the lefts and rights, keeping her in the centre of the ring as the referee is going to have to pull her off of Reyes, to stop her from any further assault!
Persephone: Is she really going to let the referee dictate what the hell she does?! She needs to try and kill her opponent if it means she can win this match! Please! Just so we don’t have to witness this atrocity any longer?!
Rich Russillo: Mikhaila is going to rip Selina back up to her feet by the hair, irish whipping her off into the ropes, AS SHE LOOKS TO GO FOR A CLOTHESLINE, BUT SELINA DUCKS UNDER IT AND SHE CAPTURES HER, DROPPING MIKHAILA DOWN WITH A NECKBREAKER! Selina just caught Mikhaila with that sudden neckbreaker, and she is going to pop back up to her feet, looking to get herself back into this match!
James Peters: And Selina is going to scramble back up to her feet, pulling Mikhaila up as well, and she nails her with a stiff uppercut! And then a second one! And Mikhaila is going to stumble back into the ropes, as Selina is going to run off of the ropes, BUT MIKHAILA SHOOTS FORWARD AND SHE FLOATS AROUND AND SPIKES HER HEAD FIRST INTO THE FACEBUSTER! IT CONNECTS!
Rich Russillo: The facebuster connects, and Selina Reyes just like that has been dropped back into the mat and is now on the defensive side, as Mikhaila is going to grab a hold of Selina, and she throws her to the outside of the ring, but Selina is going to hold onto the apron, keeping herself alive!
James Peters: Mikhaila rushes back over to her and looks to knock her off of the apron, but Selina is come through the middle rope, and captures her with that shoulder thrust into the rib cage! Mikhaila felt, but she looks to swing anyways, but Selina ducks under it, and slides back into the ring! AND REYES COMES IN WITH A DROPKICK SENDING BARRA OVER THE ROPES!
Rich Russillo: AND BARRA IS GOING TO GO FLYING TO THE OUTSIDE INSTEAD! And Selina is going to look to take advantage of this as she scrambles back up to her feet, AND SELINA IS GOING TO COME RUNNING OFF OF THE ROPES, CATCHING MIKHAILA WITH THAT MASSIVE SUICIDE DIVE! SUICIDE DIVE CONNECTS!
James Peters: Selina shoots back up to her feet and grabs Mikhaila by the hair, throwing her back into the ring and following suit, as Mikhaila is going to slowly get back up to her feet, BUT SELINA CAPTURES HER, AND SHE CONNECTS WITH THE ‘PUNJABI FLY!’ COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Persephone: Sigh, but Mikhaila Berries or whatever the fuck her name is kicks out at the count of two, and unfortunately, this match is going to seemingly continue onward even though the crowd is completely dead for this match!
Rich Russillo: That is anything but the case, Seph. They are alive and interested in these two up and comers, as Selina is getting back to her feet, and she seemingly has everyone behind her right now! That frustration that she could have been dealing with before was definitely going away the longer that this match continues onward.
James Peters: And Selina is going to reach over and grab Mikhaila by the hair, pulling her back up to her feet, but Barra takes her down with the double leg takedown, forcing Selina down to her ass, AND SHE LOOKS FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE HEAD, BUT SELNA DUCKS UNDER IT AND ROLLS BACK TO HER FEET!
Rich Russillo: Mikhaila spins around from the swing on that roundhouse kick, and Selina shoves forward, nailing a massive roaring elbow right across the jaw and that forces Barra down to a knee! Selina is going to back up, and she bounces off of the ropes- BUT MIKHAILA GETS BACK TO HER FEET AND THROWS A NASTY LOOKING HEADBUTT AND SELINA REYES IS COMPLETELY DAZED RIGHT NOW!
James Peters: And Mikhaila is now going to grab Selina by the wrist and irish whips her off into the corner, and she looks to run in at her, but Selina moves out of dodge, capturing Mikhaila, and she pulls her into a schoolgirl rollup, only for Mikhaila to kick out before the count even starts, and both women pop back up to her feet…!
Persephone: Barra swings in at Reyes, but she is going to duck that and look for a swing herself, only for Barra to duck this time around, but she catches her with a kick to the gut instead, running off of the ropes, AND SELINA REYES GOES FOR A MASSIVE SLINGBLADE-
Rich Russillo: BUT MIKHAILA BARRA LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND SHE CATCHES HER WITH A MASSIVE DROPKICK INTO THE GUT, AND THAT FORCES SELINA REYES DOWN TO THE RING CANVAS, AND SHE IS ROLLING AROUND IN ABSOLUTE AGONY! And you can tell that the dropkick had gotten her badly right there, and she is pounding the mat in frustration as well!
James Peters: But Mikhaila is going to take advantage of the situation and she is going to bring her back up to her feet by the hair, lifting her up to her feet, AND SHE SPINS AROUND AND DAMN NEAR TAKES SELINA’S HEAD CLEAN OFF OF HER BODY WITH THE SPINNING HEEL KICK! THE SPINNING HEEL KICK CONNECTS! ‘ADDER STRIKE’ CONNECTS AND REYES FALLS TO THE MAT, AS MIKHAILA RUSHES TO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Persephone: HOW THE HELL DID SHE JUST-
Rich Russillo: SELINA REYES IS STILL IN THIS! SHE MANAGED TO JUST BARELY KICK OUT AT THE COUNT OF TWO AND THIS SHOWCASE MATCH HAS STAYED ALIVE! Mikhaila Barra is not happy whatsoever, she knows just how close she was to coming to victory in this match and yet it just wasn’t enough just yet!
James Peters: She needs to keep the pressure on Reyes and look to finish her off for good, but it is obvious that the more and more frustrated that she is going to go, the worse that it is going to be in order to put Selina out for good, but I think Mikhaila has her exactly where she wants her, and she is going to pick her back up to her feet…
Rich Russillo: BUT REYES CATCHES HER WITH A MASSIVE RIGHT HAND! Massive right hand connects, but Mikhaila is going to fire with one of her own! But Selina with another right! And then Mikhaila! And Reyes with one! Mikhaila! Selina! Mikhaila! Selina! Mikhaila! Selina! BOTH WOMEN ARE FIRING BACK AND FORTH WITH THESE STIFF SHOTS UPON ONE ANOTHER, NOT LOOKING TO STOP WHATSOEVER!
James Peters: AND IT LOOKS LIKE SELINA HAS THE UPPER HAND OVER MIKHAILA! LEFTS AND RIGHTS CONTINUES TO OVERWHELM MIKHAILA, AS SHE CONTINUES FORWARD WITH FOREARM SMASHES AS WELL, BUT MIKHAILA CATCHES HER WITH A KNEE TO THE GUT! And Selina is going to be bent over from the impact!
Rich Russillo: And now, with the opening back over to Barra, she looks to take advantage of the situation, as she comes shooting off of the ropes, LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH THE ‘SNAKE BITE’ DDT… BUT SELINA IS GOING TO JUST BARELY MANAGE TO DUCK UNDER IT, AVOIDING THE MOVE!
James Peters: And she is going to run off of the ropes instead, AND THIS TIME AROUND REYES IS GOING TO SUCCESSFULLY DROP HER DOWN WITH THAT SLINGBLADE, AND SELINA HAS THIS MATCH EXACTLY WHERE SHE WANTS IT RIGHT NOW! This could be everything that Selina has needed in order to make sure that she can walk out of tonight with the victory in this Voltage v Dynasty showcase match!
Persephone: If she can actually take advantage of this, then maybe she will pick up the win and we can be closer to finally going home tonight! I know this is just the first match of the night, but you know what I mean! END THIS MATCH PLEASE!
Rich Russillo: WELL SELINA LOOKS TO DO EXACTLY THAT… BUT MIKHAILA FIGHTS BACK, AND SHE’S GOING AT THE EYES! THE REFEREE HAS TO PULL MIKHAILA OFF AS SELINA STUMBLES AWAY, HOLDING AT HER EYES… AND MIKHAILA IS GOING TO ATTEMPT A SECOND ‘ADDER STRIKE’ TO PUT REYES AWAY!
James Peters: DUCKED BY SELINA REYES WHO RUNS OFF OF THE ROPES, AND MIKHAILA IS GOING TO TURN AROUND… RIGHT INTO THE ‘ALAMO KNEE!’ IT CONNECTS! SELINA COVERS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… ‘THE ONYX QUEEN!!!!!!’ SELINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA REYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
(‘My Own Summer’ once more hit the speakers of the arena as the crowd reacted with a mixed bag of cheers and boos. Selina Reyes would pull herself off of Mikhaila Barra, getting back up to her feet as she had her arm raised high into the air by the referee in victory.)
Rich Russillo: Selina Reyes picked up the victory tonight, and she did it for Sunday Night Voltage in this showcase match!
James Peters: Mikhaila Barra put up a good fight and showed out here in her debut match as an EAW elitist, but in the end it just wasn’t enough, and Selina Reyes picks up the win. Congratulations to Selina!
(Selina continues to celebrate her victory as Mikhaila sat in the corner looking disappointed while the referee checked on her, and Voltage fades to a commercial.)
(Commercial for Borderlands, now in theaters!)
( Sunday Night Voltage comes back from commercial break as ‘TENKI YOHOU’ by batta blasts through the P.A System! It’s Akari Kiyoko as he makes his entrance on the stage. He emerges with a determined look on his face, as he wears his wrestling attire. Akari is going to be in a tag team match momentarily with Chiyo Gedo. Akari gets quite a positive reaction from the crowd as he continues his walk down the aisle. )
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the number one contender to the EAW Hardocore Championship… The Hopeful Soul… AKARI KIYOKO!!!
Rich Russillo: The final Voltage before Akari looks to have the biggest match of his young thus far and just by looking at him going down the ring, I can say he looks calm and collected. I mean you wouldn’t have known this young man was gonna be having a match against an Elitist like Cameron Ella Ava in a week’s time for the Hardcore Championship, he doesn’t look at all nervous.
James Peters: The question now sets in, can Akari Kiyoko win the Hardcore Championship next week? Can he prematurely end Cameron Ella Ava’s reign before it could even get started? Those are the questions we ask as we not only head to Bloodsport but for tonight as I’m sure we’ll know what Akari’s final thoughts are before we arrive at Bloodsport in Hawaii.
Persephone: I have some final thoughts too.
James Peters: Oh yea what is that.
Persephone: I’m already tired of yall talking
Rich Russillo: We barely just started the program??
Persephone: Exactly…
( Akari continues making his way down to the ring and comes to the ringside area. From there Akari climbs up the steps and enters in between the ropes. He does another gesture towards the crowd before asking for a microphone from a ringside official. His music slowly fades away as Akari stands in the middle of the ring with a microphone in his hand. He has determined expression as he begins to speak… )
Akari Kiyoko: I appreciate the support, thank you. It’s been a very heated last couple of weeks between myself and the champion, Cameron Ella Ava. Two weeks ago, she decided that she didn’t wanna tag in, causing me to get pinned by Zane Grae. She actively cost us our match all because she’s Cameron Ella Ava. Doing whatever she wants because she doesn’t have to pay her dues and can pick and choose when she wants to fight. In all honesty, I can see the points she made as I guess she’s not the serpent for nothing. She’s going to do whatever she wants because she’s nothing but a snake, however, my focus lies ahead for next week at Bloodsport. Competing for that EAW Hardcore Championship is something I wanted since the season started, an opportunity for me to become a champion and that’s what I have. This match is important for me, the biggest match of my career thus far and it’s against a Hall of Famer in an exploding barbed wire TLC match. I need to make an impact in this important match, I can’t just be a body for Cameron Ella Ava to just go through, I can’t let her leave Bloodsport as the Hardcore Champion.
( Akari takes a second to collect himself as he continues on… )
Akari Kiyoko: Cameron has done nothing but underestimate me every which way, whether it came to me winning that initial unique opportunity match all the way to last week when Cameron told the entire world how much of a narcissist she really is. She’s a trailblazer, she opened the doors for many women in this company and I can respect that but your underestimation of me is what is gonna lead to a not so good aftermath of our match. You’re not gonna like how our match is gonna go because Cameron, I can’t let an opportunity like this just slip away, especially with it being my first. This is a chance for a change, a new guard holding the Hardcore Championship. Like I said last week, you had your time Cameron, you have earned all the success that you have gotten in EAW. No one will ever deny you of that but as you get older, there’s new competitors that just so happen to be hungrier which is why taking that Hardcore Championship from you is a necessity I need to get done at Bloodsport. I’ll be a far greater champion then you’ll ever be Cameron, that’s just how much confidence I have within me-
( Suddenly, Akari would be interrupted with ‘Good for Her’ by MOTHICA as Cameron Ella Ava emerges from the stage. She has the EAW Hardcore championship around her waist as it can be assumed she has heard enough of what Akari had to say regarding their match at Bloodsport. Cameron makes her down the ring with a mixed reaction coming from the crowd. )
Rich Russillo: We shouldn’t be too surprised Cameron is out here, from what Akari said, she had to come out and say something to him as we get closer to their match at Bloodsport.
James Peters: We all know how heated it is between these two and I’m certain Cameron isn’t going to let anything Akari has said go without some type of reply.
Persephone: You both are such bots. This is so boring :noah:.
( Cameron Ella Ava continues down the ramp as she picks up a microphone that was already placed there and walks up the steel steps. She enters the ring through the ropes as she shares the ring with her Bloodsport challenger. They look at each other briefly before Cameron’s music fades off and Cameron begins speaking to Akari. )
Cameron Ella Ava: It’s a necessity to take this title from me, Akari? Is that what you’re claiming right now?
Akari Kiyoko: You’re damn right.
Cameron Ella Ava: Well, let me stop you right there because you are acting like this is something you are used to. This is something that you feel you have fought for many, many times. This is your first shot at championship gold Akari and you’re already putting it on such a high pedestal. I mean you are acting as if this championship is gonna be yours when the bell rings for the end of our match. I think you sound a little bit over your head and quite frankly what I did two weeks ago whether you like it or not is something I have earned. I can choose to do whatever I want, I didn’t need to be put in a coexist situation with you so I did just that. Clearly my explanation you still feel some type of way about and honestly you feel a little embarrassed.
Akari Kiyoko: First things first, I am not over my head Cameron, it’s a thing called confidence. I am confident in myself that I can and will beat you for that Hardcore Championship at Bloodsport. Secondly, why should I be embarrassed for bringing it up again? You left me high and dry and I got pinfall loss because of it. I acknowledge the points you made but I can still be a little pissed about it. I can still voice my displeasure of what you did.
Cameron Ella Ava: I guess that’s a fair point. I would be mad too if I couldn’t get the Cameron Ella Ava Tag win in my record book. Either way, this “confidence” that you have just isn’t gonna work Akari. You already fixated on being a better champion than me before our match. That’s also quite embarrassing but if you’re gonna think I’m just going to stand up and let you ruin a championship reign as meaningful as this, then you don’t know who you’re dealing with AT ALL. At Bloodsport, I’m going to show you that losing this title is not an option for me and it never will be.
Akari Kiyoko: Oh it will be an option Cameron, there’s always an option and again I understand your points but I’m not gonna ruin anything if I take that title. I’m going to elevate just like all the other champions before me, because I know how prestigious that title is.
Cameron Ella Ava: And you’re just not ready to take it from me. You’re gonna come up short Akari, and that’s just how the cookie crumbles for you; just like how it did before Pain for Pride. That’s just the simple reality of this. You are just… not… ready.
( All of a sudden Akari just smacks Cameron’s head with the microphone he was holding right into her forehead. Cameron goes down as the crowd gasps. Cameron drops her microphone as Akari, off the mic, tells Cameron, who is semi-conscious at the moment and busted open… )
Akari Kiyoko: (off-mic) I am ready Cameron, but the time for you as the champion is running out and it expires at Bloodsport.
( Cameron soon rolls out of the ring and leaves the ringside area as Akari Kiyoko manages to get the final word against her. Sunday Night Voltage continues as we transition into our next match. )
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where Cameron Ella Ava defends the Hardcore Championship against Akari Kiyoko in an Exploding Barbed Wire TLC match.)
( ‘TENKI YOHOU’ by batta is heard playing as Voltage returns, and Akari Kiyoko is seen still in the ring following his confrontation with Cameron Ella Ava. Moments later, ‘Red Criminal’ by The Oral Cigarettes begins to play up as the crowd gives a mixed reaction to Chiyo Gedo who is then seen making his way out from the backstage area and toward the stage. He has a nonchalant expression on his face as he walks down the ramp, looking to meet his partner in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: The following TAG TEAM MATCH is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first!… the team of CHIYO GEDO AND AKARI KIYOKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: It doesn’t seem like these two have any issues with one another, which could work in their favor against an opponent like this. They both though have their own separate ambitions which could be fueled by winning this match.
James Peters: Akari has a match against Cameron Ella Ava for the Hardcore Championship at Bloodsport, while Chiyo has a pending match with Damien Kutcher on an episode of Dynasty with the winner qualifying for the New Breed Championship. Both have a lot on their plates, and they’re looking to make sure that they can keep their momentum up tonight.
Persephone: I wish them nothing but the worst, they deserve it because nobody on this stupid roster deserves to be happy.
(‘Dance The Night’ by Dua Lipa is heard playing up as the crowd boos loudly for Ashlynn Quinn who is seen strutting out to the ring. She has her arms spread with a smirk on her face as she twirls before posing for the crowd. To her disgruntlement, her theme is quickly replaced with ‘KARATE’ by BABYMETAL as the crowd cheers for the Specialists Champion as KASAI makes her way out to the stage. Both Bloodsport opponents look at each other with scowls on their faces as they make their way to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And their opponents… the team of ASHLYNN QUINN AND THE EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION KASAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well this is a team who certainly have strong opinions about one another. KASAI and Ashlynn Quinn are set to do battle with one another at Bloodsport with the Specialists Championship on the line, of course, thanks to Ashlynn’s newfound acquaintance in Bea Valentine.
James Peters: The two have found themselves in heated exchanges, and tonight could be one of them if they find themselves having a disagreement. Right now they’re making their way down to the ring and they don’t seem to be very happy about participating in this match.
Persephone: So now you know how I feel.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: This match is officially underway and it looks like both teams are eager to get this one started. Chiyo Gedo is starting this off for his team with Akari Kiyoko, while on the otherhand it seems like KASAI has volunteered for her odd couple team with Bloodsport opponent Ashlynn Quinn. This is certainly going to be an interesting match if anything.
James Peters: Both KASAI and Chiyo lock up, and they go back and forth for a moment before KASAI swoops around and locks in a waist lock behind him! Chiyo pries at her arms, trying to break free from her grip, but KASAI knows that she has to stay on her toes if she wants to take the biggest Chiyo down. It’s not long before Chiyo manages to find his way, going around as he locks in an arm wrench on her, which transitions right into a side headlock!
Rich Russillo: Chiyo dips down, trying to bring KASAI down to a knee and keep her in place, but the Specialists Champion is relentless right now as she slowly manages to push him toward the ropes. Chiyo is backed up for a moment before KASAI then proceeds to send him toward the opposite side of the ring…
James Peters: GOING FOR ‘URAI’S CURSE’!
Rich Russillo: NO! CHIYO SAW THE SKULL KICK COMING AND MANAGED TO STOP HIMSELF IN HIS TRACKS AND AVOID IT! KASAI was looking to end this match early with the finishing manuever, but Chiyo Gedo simply was not buying it!
Persephone: I wish it ended early, nobody wants to watch this match. Maybe to make it interesting, we can contact Kennedy Street and bring Luis back.
James Peters: Chiyo is right back up to his feet as he’s amused by this, quickly rushing forward- But before he can do anything it’s KASAI who manages to sidestep and send him toward the ropes… AS SHE TURNS AROUND AND LEAPS INTO THE AIR FOR A DROPKICK- NO! Chiyo manages to grab a hold of the ropes just in time before that happens! KASAI lands on her stomach before rising up to her knees… JUST FOR CHIYO TO LAUNCH INTO THE AIR AND NAIL HER WITH A KNEE STRIKE STRAGHT TO THE FACE!
Rich Russillo: KASAI is dropped for the moment and it’s Chiyo who’s going to reap the benefits of it, grabbing a hold of her and bringing her back up to her feet before setting her up… AS HE LIFTS HER UP INTO THE AIR AND PLANTS HER DOWN WITH A URANAGE! KASAI IS DOWN AND CHIYO DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
James Peters: BUT KASAI KICKS OUT BEFORE TWO! Chiyo is quickly back up to his feet as he wastes no time continuing to keep the match in his favor. He grabs a hold of her and brings her back up to her feet… TAKING HER HEAD AND SMASHING IT AGAINST THE TOP TURNBUCKLE FACE FIRST! KASAI is hurt as she falls back into the corner and Chiyo is quick to reach out…
(TAG!)
Rich Russillo: BRINGING AKARI INTO THE FOLD! Akari Kiyoko enters the ring and immediately has the wrist of the Champion, sending her into an Irish whip toward the ropes… BEFORE TAKING HER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE! Akari then mounts on top of her and wastes absolutely no time beginning to batter her with strikes straight to the face! Looking to establish dominance early, the last thing KASAI wants right now is to have her back against the wall with a numbers disadvantage.
James Peters: KASAI manages to shove away and rise back to her feet, falling back against the ropes as Akari then makes his way over… ONLY TO BE MET WITH A KICK TO THE FACE BY KASAI WHO IS MANAGING TO FIGHT BACK! She then rushes past Akari who makes his way toward the center of the ring… ONLY FOR HER TO REBOUND OFF THE ROPES AND LEAP INTO THE AIR BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A CROSSBODY!
Rich Russillo: KASAI then gets back up to her feet and shoots toward the ropes, realizing that AKari isn’t going to stay down for very long… AS SHE LEAPS OFF OF THEM AND CONNECTS WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT TO TAKE AKARI DOWN! KASAI THEN HOOKS THE LEG AND TRIES FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
James Peters: BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN AS AKARI MANAGES TO KICK OUT BEFORE THE TWO COUNT! KASAI knows that and is quick to rise back up to her feet, grabbing Akari and bringing him upa s well before taking him by the wrist and sending him toward her corner- NO! Akari manages to stop himself in place! KASAI was looking to tag out to Ashlynn but it didn’t seem like something Akari was anticipating as he turns it around and sends KASAI toward the ropes instead… AS HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND TAKES HER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A HUGE SLINGBLADE!
Rich Russillo: KASAI is dropped down to a seated position and it doesn’t look like Akari is done either as he rolls back up to his feet… THEN PROCEEDING TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK STRAIGHT TO THE FACE! KASAI is down and Akari knows that he’s not going to have much time to take advantage of this right now. He heads over to one of the empty corners and begins to make his way up, eyeing an aerial assault…
James Peters: AS HE LEAPS OFF AND GOES FOR ‘TALK WITH PEACE’! THE CORKSCREW MOONSAULT TO KASAI-
Rich Russillo: BUT KASAI MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! AKARI ROLLS BACK UP TO HIS FEET ONLY TO BE MET WITH A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE BY KASAI! SHE THEN FOLLOWS IT UP… NAILING HIM WITH A KICK FOLLOWING THAT UP!
James Peters: KASAI then falls back into the corner, and it looks like the crowd is coming alive as she looks to follow that one up with something big. Akari is hurt but he’s managing to rise back up, unbeknownst to him what’s coming right here…
Rich Russillo: AS KASAI RUSHES FORWARD AND GOES FOR ‘CTE’! THE KNEE TREMBLER TO AKARI KIYOKO!
(TAG!)
James Peters: NO! WAIT! ASHLYNN QUINN JUST REACHED OUT BEFORE KASAI COULD GO FOR THE MOVE AND TAGGED HERSELF IN!
(KASAI stops in her tracks and turns around, as she glares at Ashlynn who is entering into the ring without a care in the world.)
Ashlynn Quinn: Move out of the way, uggo! I’ll show you how a TRUE Champion handles her business!
Persephone: Is she stupid?
Rich Russillo: Well that’s debatable, but what can be said is that Ashlynn Quinn has tagged herself into the match and that doesn’t particularly make the Specialists Champion happy. It’s not going to help the already rising tensions between these two leading into Bloodsport. Akari is still stunned as Ashlynn rushes forward, looking to pick up the pieces-
James Peters: BUT BEFORE SHE CAN IT’S AKARI WHO TAKES HER BY THE HEAD AND PULLS HER INTO A SCHOOL BOY PIN! LOOKING TO TAKE HIS OPPONENT OFF GUARD AND STEAL THIS MATCH RIGHT OUT FROM UNDERNEATH HER!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT BEFORE THE THREE COUNT IT’S ASHYLNN WHO MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF IT! Akari Kiyoko was looking to take advantage of the dysfunctional duo, but thankfully Ashlynn is fresh! She quickly rolls back up to her feet!
James Peters: AS AKARI ROLLS BACK UP AS WELL AND NAILS HER WITH ‘A K-NEE OF DEATH’! THE REGAL KNEE STRAIGHT TO THE FACE-
Rich Russillo: BUT ASHYLNN MANAGES TO SEE IT COMING AND JUST IN TIME MANAGES TO PUSH HERSELF AWAY FROM IT! She avoids immediate doom and that’s not something that Akari is taking very kindly as he makes his way toward her!
James Peters: BUT ASHLYNN MANAGES TO RECOVER QUICKLY ENOUGH TO GO UNDER AND CONNECT WITH THE ‘BESTIE SPEAR’ TO AKARI KIYOKO! THE SPEAR TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND AND ASHLYNN ROLLS OVER BEFORE HOOKING THE LEG! TRYING TO GO FOR THE PIN RIGHT HERE! IS THIS GOING TO BE IT?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHH-
Rich Russillo: BUT JUST BEFORE THE THREE COUNT IT’S AKARI KYIOKO WHO MANAGES TO COME ALIVE AND SHOOT HIS SHOULDER UP! He manages to keep this match going but at the same time he’s not particularly in the best of shape, and Ashlynn knows that. She takes advantage of this as she quickly rolls up before then beginning to stomp down on his body multiple times!
James Peters: She’s looking to wear Akari down, while on the otherhand he’s doing everything that he can right now in order to get out of this. He’s slowly crawling at the canvas, dragging himself toward the ropes, but Ashlynn notices this and is quick to grab him by the head and drag him toward the center of the ring… dropping down and locking in a chin lock!
Persephone: Slowing down the pace in the middle of a match… real cool guys.
Rich Russillo: Well Ashlynn is trying to wear Akari down, making sure that he can’t gain any momentum right now and it is certainly working. Akari is struggling out of this, having already had a lot taken out of him thanks to her offense, and is gasping for air while the crowd rallies behind him. It seems like though he’s beginning to gain his footing, pressing his sole against the canvas and slowly beginning to rise up to his feet!
James Peters: Ashlynn realizes this and is doing whatever he can right now in order to keep him down on the ground, but Akari is beginning to fight back! He knows that he’s not going to get anywhere in her grasp, and is pushing through as he manages to get up to his feet! He shifts his body around while Ashlynn is struggling to maintain control, before then beginning to drive his elbow straight into her chest, forcing her to release the grip that she has on him!
Rich Russilo: ASHLYNN LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND GOES FOR A BICYCLE KICK OUT OF AN ACT OF DESPERATION- But Akari manages to move out of the way of that as he pushes her foot away, he then runs the ropes… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A FLYING FOREARM STRIKE TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND!
James Peters: Akari kips back up to his feet while Ashlynn struggles to do so… ONLY TO BE GRABBED BY AKARI ONCE AGAIN AS SHE’S TAKEN BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A HIP TOSS! Ashlynn is dropped onto her back as she’s quick to roll back up to a knee, refusing to let up despite the offense that she’s taken…
Rich Russillo: BUT BEFORE SHE CAN IT’S AKARI WHO GRABS A HOLD OF HER BY THE WRIST AND PULLS HER IN STRAIGHT TO A BACKDROP SUPLEX! ‘HEAVY ON MY HEART’ CONNECTS AND DROPS ASHLYNN DOWN TO THE GROUND WHILE AKARI IS QUICK TO ROLL HER OVER AND HOOK HER LEG TO GO FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREE-
James Peters: BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN AS IMMEDIATELY ASHLYNN COMES ALIVE AND SHOOTS THE SHOULDER UP! Akari doesn’t particularly look too happy about that,m but he knows that it’s a step in the right direction. He makes his way up to his feet and doesn’t immediately focus his attention on the downed Ashlynn Quinn, instead making his way over to his corner…
(TAG!)
Rich Russillo: BEFORE TAGGING OUT TO CHIYO GEDO AND LETTING HIM GET HIS SHARE OF OFFENSE AS WELL! Chiyo stays on the apron, shouting at Ashlynn to get back up to her feet as he looks to connect with something here. He has his eyes set while the challenger for the Specialists Championship staggers up…
James Peters: ‘UNEXPECTED WHIPLASH’!
Rich Russillo: NO! IT DOESN’T CONNECT! CHIYO ROLLED THROUGH AND TRIED TO GO FOR THE CUTTER BUT ASHLYNN MANAGED TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A SUPERKICK WHILE HE ROLLED BACK UP AND TAKE HIS HEAD OFF! CHIYO IS DOWN ON THE GROUND AS ASHLYNN IS QUICK TO GO FOR A PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
James Peters: BUT CHIYO KICKS OUT! That was a close call and Ashlynn barely managed to save herself in this match, but thankfully for Chiyo Gedo he managed to see it coming and this tag match continues to rage on! Ashlynn makes her way back up to her feet, and it seems like she’s about to return the favor to Chiyo Gedo as she shouts at him to rise back up to his feet! This is her chance to finish the job and she’s going to make sure that she takes it! Chiyo is slowly rising back up as he must know the trouble that he finds himself in right now! With Ashlynn seeing the perfect opportunity and setting him up!
Rich Russillo: AS ASHLYNN RUNS TOWARD THE ROPES AND LEAPS OFF OF THEM FOR ‘BAD & BOUJEE’! THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER TO CHIYO GEDO-
James Peters: BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN WITH CHIYO MANAGING TO GRAB A HOLD OF HER AROUND THE WAIST BEFORE IT CONNECTS! HE THEN BRINGS HER AWAY TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING… BEFORE LIFTING HER OFF THE GROUND AND DROPPING HER ONTO HER HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! CHIYO BRIDGES AND IMMEDIATELY GOES FOR A PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRR-
Rich Russillo: ASHLYNN MANAGES TO KICK OUT THOUGH! Chiyo still has a hold of her around the waist as he once again drags her back up… THEN PROCEEDING TO FOLLOW THAT UP WITH A SECOND GERMAN SUPLEX TO TAKE HER DOWN! Ashlynn is completely stunned but that does not at all mean that he’s going to let up, Chiyo brings her up one more time and sets her up… THEN LIFTING HER UP FOR A DRAGON SUPLEX-
James Peters: BUT ASHLYNN MANAGES TO BREAK FREE OF THE GRIP! SHE TURNS AROUND AND NAILS CHIYO AGAINST HIS FACE WITH A BACK ELBOW! Chiyo staggers back but manages to make his way toward her, just for Ashlynn to seize hold of him by the wrist before sending him toward the ropes- NO! Chiyo manages to turn it around and send her toward one of the corners instead!
Rich Russillo: Ashlynn is backed up as Chiyo rushes forward…
(TAG!)
James Peters: BUT KASAI TAGS HERSELF IN BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZUIGIRI! Chiyo stumbles back toward the center of the ring… AS KASAI LAUNCHES OFF AND CONNECTS WITH A SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK TOWARD HIS CHEST TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Rich Russillo: KASAI just returned the favor from earlier when Ashlynn tagged herself in, and it looks like Ashlynn is not very happy about that! I think she felt like she had this thing under control and didn’t need help from KASAI, but by the looks of things, I don’t think the Specialists Champion really cares about it.
James Peters: Chiyo staggers back up to his feet as he realizes the trouble that he’s in right now, but what he doesn’t realize is that KASAI is shooting right past him and running toward the ropes… AS SHE LEAPS UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A HURRICANRANA!
Rich Russillo: KASAI is quick to rise back up herself as she turns around and runs to the ropes one more time… GOING FOR ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT ‘CTE’! THE KNEE TREMBLER RIGHT TO THE FACE OF CHIYO!
James Peters: NO! RIGHT IN TIME IT’S CHIYO THAT MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! CHIYO THEN LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE! KASAI crumbles down, just for Chiyo to then follow up by seizing hold of the rest… BEFORE PULLING HER IN AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE TO TAKE HER DOWN!
Rich Russillo: Chiyo now looks to turn the tables as he grabs a hold of her and brings her back up to her feet…
James Peters: LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND GRABBING KASAI BY THE HEAD BEFORE SPIKING HER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH ‘FATAL HEAD TRAUMA’! THE JUMPING DDT LANDS AND TAKES HER DOWN TO THE GROUND AS CHIYO ROLLS OVER AND QUICKLY HOOKS THE LEG FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN AS KASAI MANAGES TO SHOOT THE SHOULDER UP AND KICK OUT! This isn’t something that exactly satisfies Chiyo all that much, as he’s back up and circling around the ring, having his eyes set on KASAI who is grabbing her head in pain and beginning to push herself up. Chiyo then makes his way over…
James Peters: AS HE GOES FOR ‘SWIFT ENDING’! LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND SPINNING AROUND BEFORE TRYING TO TAKE KASAI DOWN WITH THE DESTINO-
Rich Russillo: BUT KASAI MANAGES TO AVOID THAT AND SLIP OUT OF IT JUST IN TIME! CHIYO RECOVERS BUT KASAI DOES AS WELL…
James Peters: AS KASAI GRABS CHIYO AND PUSHES HERSELF OFF THE GROND AS SHE LANDS THE STANDING SPANISH FLY! ‘FLYING JESTER’ CONNECTS AND THIS TIME IT’S KASAI WHO MANAGES TO GO FOR THE PIN!HOPING THAT THIS WILL BE THE END OF IT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRREE-
Rich Russillo: BUT THIS TIME IT’S CHIYO WHO MANAGES TO KICK OUT! All of these competitors in this fast-paced tag team match have been eager to lay it all on the line. They’ve exerted their all and hit them with their best shot, but it seems like even that wasn’t enough! Chiyo Gedo may have managed to escape from that for the moment, but right now you can see KASAI gingerly making her way over to her corner, she’s looking to get the fresh Ashlynn Quinn in!
James Peters: While on the other hand it’s Chiyo who is making his way over as well to the corner where Akari Kiyoko eagerly awaits! Both of them are trying to find their way over…
(TAG!)
(TAG!)
Rich Russillo: ASHLYNN QUINN AND AKARI KIYOKO ARE TAGGED IN! ASHLYNN RUSHES IN AND IMMEDIATELY CONNECTS WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO AKARI! AKARI IS TAKEN DOWN BUT MANAGES TO GET BACK UP… ONLY FOR ASHLYNN TO FOLLOW THAT UP WITH ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE! ASHLYNN THEN TURNS AROUND AS SHE RUSHES OVER TO AKARI… SPINNING HIM AROUND FOR A NECKBREAKER-
James Peters: NO! AKARI SPINS AROUND AND SHOVES HER AWAY! AKARI LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND GOES FOR ‘A K-NEE OF DEATH’!
Rich Russillo: NO! ASHLYNN MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT BEFORE PRESSING HER FOOT AGAINST HIS FACE!
James Peters: GOING FOR EAT DEFEAT! ‘RED BOTTOMS’ CONNECTS!
Rich Russillo: NO! AKARI SLIPS OUT BEFORE TRIPPING ASHLYNN DOWN TO THE GROUND! ASHLYNN STAGGERS UP TO HER FEET…
James Peters: BUT AKARI TURNS AROUND AND RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH ‘PEACH DREAM’! THE CLAYMORE CONNECTS! AKARI DROPS DOWN AND GOES FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘TENKI YOHOU’ begins to play through the speakers as Akari Kiyoko rises up to his feet. He’s joined by Chiyo Gedo as both get their hands raised in the air by the referee before they celebrate their victory.)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… THE TEAM OF CHIYO GEDO AND AKARI KIYOKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Lame.
Rich Russillo: A hard fought tag team match here tonight on Voltage, with both of these teams having something to prove. But in the end it was Akari who managed to get the better of Ashlynn Quinn and pull the victory out for his team ahead of his match at Bloodsport.
James Peters: Well it doesn’t seem like someone is very happy about that…
(The camera goes to KASAI, who has collected her title, as she slings it over her shoulder and eyes an unconscious Ashlynn in the ring. She shakes her head as she mutters something distinguishable to the camera.)
KASAI: (Off-Mic) Pathetic…
James Peters: Certainly not the result that KASAI wanted to see, but perhaps a testament to everything that she’s said about Ashlynn? Regardless, congratulations to Akari and Chiyo on the win.
(The last shot seen is Akari and Chiyo shaking hands as Sunday Night Voltage fades to elsewhere.)
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where KASAI defends the Specialists Championship against Ashlynn Quinn in a Barbed Wire Dog Collar match.)
( Sunday Night Voltage comes back from commercial break as we transition into the office of Captain Charisma. As usual, Captain Charisma is wearing a very nice all black suit being the commissioner of Voltage, remaining professional as one can be. He looks to be on the phone with someone as he stands in front of his office desk. He hears what the other person on the phone is saying as he responds back to them by saying… )
Captain Charisma: Yeah I know, I know how much of a success the Tag Team Turmoil tournament is going to be.
( Captain Charisma lets the other person say a few words to him as he responds back by saying… )
Captain Charisma: Absolutely. It’s exactly what the tag team division needs right now. I mean we saw it a few years ago with Jake Smith and Chris Elite and how they managed to become tag team champions, and I’m confident whoever ends up winning will have that type of result as well. I can feel it!
( Before Captain Charisma can say anything else he hears three loud knocks from his office door as he says… )
Captain Charisma: Hey, I’ll call you back later.
(Captain Charisma ends the phone call as he shouts… )
Captain Charisma: You can come in!
( The mysterious person walks in and it’s revealed to be none other than Eden Sinclair as she walks into the frame. She looks stunning in an all blue dress that she’s wearing. She has a sly smile on her face, oozing with confidence as she begins speaking to Captain Charisma… )
Eden Sinclair: Hello Captain Charisma
Captain Charisma: Eden. What’s on your mind?
Eden Sinclair: I actually wanna discuss something with you about Territorial Invasion! The details you made about the Tag Team Turmoil was pretty intriguing and I’m a fan of how that tournament is gonna go with the winners getting their tag team titles shot at Wicked Games. However before Wicked Games, we have to discuss Territorial Invasion because even though this tournament is happening right after Bloodsport, we still gotta have our focus on Territorial Invasion and the upcoming brand versus brand matches.
Captain Charisma: I agree with you. I planned to discuss War Games and Brand Warfare later this week, and make a decision on who the best candidates would be to represent Voltage in both of those matches. I have an idea for who should captain both teams, but I’m all ears if you have ideas as well.
Eden Sinclair: I’m not surprised you have your own ideas and I’m not gunna touch War Games and who you might want for the captain. I’m sure that’s the primary focus that you want to handle but I do have something when it comes to the Brand Warfare match that I think you should hear me out on. I think you’re gonna like it!
( Captain Charisma seems intrigued on what Eden’s idea is for Brand Warfare as he responds back to her by saying… )
Captain Charisma: Tell me.
( Eden has a smile on her face when Captain Charisma is willing to hear her out when it comes to Territorial Invasion. Eden Sinclair responds back by saying… )
Eden Sinclair: Ok so you know what happened at last year’s Territorial Invasion right? Dynasty managed to win both Brand Warfare and War Games which was not the ideal situation for us. However, if we look closely it can help us this year when it comes to Brand Warfare. The first person I wanna talk about is Ms. Extreme. She led Dynasty to victory as the team captain for that team in Brand Warfare. She is someone I think should be locked for the match again for Voltage. Then the other person is Limmy Monaghan, while he might end up holding the world title once Bloodsport is over, he is someone that can also be a lock for the Brand Warfare match this year too. He won War Games for Dynasty alongside Kassidy Heart and Myles. Having Ms. Extreme and Limmy both locked in for the match will give us a huge advantage over everyone else. I honestly think it would be great if they co-captained the Voltage team for Brand Warfare. Wouldn’t that be a great idea for Territorial Invasion? Ms. Extreme and Limmy know what it takes to win in those types of matches and that could be a crucial key in us winning Brand Warfare.
( Captain Charisma is surprised by this idea that was presented to him by Eden Sinclair. He has an interested look on his face as he puts his hand on his chin. Eden waits for a few moments in anticipation as Captain Charisma responds back to her by saying… )
Captain Charisma: You know, as much as I was gonna brainstorm on the captains for the Brand Warfare match, that’s honestly a pretty great pitch from you Eden. I think it makes sense, you brought up a very valid case for why they both should be the team captain…
Eden Sinclair: See? Like I said, it just makes sense considering the results they achieved with Dynasty last year at Territorial Invasion and we could see that same effect if they were to lead Voltage this time around for Brand Warfare.
( Captain Charisma keeps thinking on the idea, he lets several seconds pass by as he makes his decision. Eden stands there hoping Captain Charisma as the commissioner gives the final verdict on the idea presented to him by Eden Sinclair. )
Captain Charisma: Yep… I’m all on board with your Idea Eden, I think it’s great!
( Eden shares an enthusiastic smile, glad that Captain Charisma likes it and is gonna go with it for Territorial Invasion. Charisma continues speaking as he says… )
Captain Charisma: If anyone were to lead our Brand Warfare match against the two other brands it would for sure be Ms. Extreme and Limmy Monaghan. They’re both tenured champions here and again considering what they did for their teams last year, I think it makes all the sense in the world. I know that there is a possibility Limmy becomes the World Champion next week at Bloodsport in Barbed Wire Massacre X and in the situation where that could happen lets say Limmy pins Jake or pins Methuselah and wins that title, then I wouldn’t mind if the World Championship doesn’t get defended at Territorial Invasion. It happened before when Minvera didn’t defend her world title two years ago for Anarchy in the Arena. Kassidy Heart didn’t defend the Universal Women’s Championship last season due to being the captain of Dynasty’s War Games team. If Limmy becomes the champ, he’ll still be co-captain for Brand Warfare. I know how much of a competitive person Limmy is and how much competitive spirit he possesses when he steps in between those ropes. Having the best Elitists competing for and winning for Voltage is the ideal situation.
( Eden nodes her in agreement with Captain Charisma. She is still amused that Captain Charisma liked the idea she had for Brand Warfare with it now coming as a reality for Territorial Invasion. She responds back to him by saying… )
Eden Sinclair: Oh absolutely, I want the best competing for Voltage as well. I was disappointed that we couldn’t win either Brand Warfare or War Games last season and I knew we needed to step it up this year in a big way. I know for a fact both of those competitors are going to deliver massively for us and if it means no world title match if Limmy’s the champion then I think that’s a sacrifice we can make for Territorial Invasion.
Captain Charisma: Couldn’t agree with you more Eden, glad you brought this idea up for me, might be one of your better ideas I’ve heard from you.
Eden Sinclair: I just want the best for this brand Captain Charisma and I think that’s the best course of action for us to take.
Captain Charisma: For sure, with Territorial Invasion and the Tag Team Turmoil Tournament in our vicinity, we’re gonna show everyone including tShowdown and Dynasty that Voltage is the number one brand. Winning War Games and Brand Warfare is what we’ll do to show exactly that.
Eden Sinclair: Absolutely, Captain Charisma. I have to get going right now so let’s make Territorial Invasion our year this season!
Captain Charisma: Amen!
( Eden Sinclair walks out of frame and leaves the office of Captain Charisma. Captain Charisma looks happy with himself with the plans for Brand Warfare now set in motion. Captain Charisma whips his phone out again as he dials the number he was speaking to before Eden interrupted. He says… )
Captain Charisma: Hey, sorry I had to discuss something important. What were we talking about again?
( Charisma asks that question to the person on the other side on the phone as he says… )
Captain Charisma: Oh right!
( The segment would then transition away as Sunday Night Voltage continues to move forward.)
(Sunday Night Voltage returns to a pan-around shot of the T-Mobile Arena, as the crowd bustles in anticipation for what’s to come in an already jam packed go-home show. Their excitement is soured though as the sounds of ‘Refuse/Resist’ by Sepultura are heard beginning to play up through the PA system. Immediately a negative reaction is heard as the camera lands on the stage and British Invasion are seen storming out. Daryl Kinkade, Halsey Neel, and Pandora Paisley stand united with displeased expressions on their face as they then begin to make their way down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… DARYL KINKADE, PANDORA PAISLEY, AND HALSEY NEEL… BRITISH INVASION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well it’s safe to say that British Invasion isn’t in the best of moods, and we know exactly why that’s the case. We saw on Fight Grid that they got the opportunity to spin the Bloodsport wheel, and from there it would end up landing on a “PETA’s Worst Nightmare” matchup. As you know, Voltage has a long, not-so-loving relationship with PETA. :wow: :
James Peters: It doesn’t seem like that was very well received though, and I could understand why that’s not particularly their cup of tea. But for the team of Michael Scott Connor, Zane Grae, and Effy McAvoy this could be something that they’re excited about given the lengths that they could go to.
Persephone: Not even razor-sharp piranhas could cure the void that was left by Captain Charisma inside of me this Season.
(Daryl, Pandora, and Halsey all make their way into the ring as they take microphones for themselves. ‘Refuse/Resist’ then begins to come to a close as British Invasion all come together at the center of the ring, not wasting any time making themselves known.)
Daryl Kinkade: Bruv, if I could tell you how I felt seeing the ridiculousness that is happening here on Sunday Night Voltage, I was infuriated. The audacity of that lousy excuse of a Voltage Commissioner Captain Charisma to even assume that we would participate in a match like this. To think, after everything that we have already done for this brand, the least he could do was take our thoughts into consideration before jumping the gun with all these bollocks.
Pandora Paisley: I couldn’t agree with you more, love. “PETA’s Worst Nightmare” sounds like an atrocity in itself, why would anyone want to participate in this??? Think about the possibilities here, what could happen to us! It’s a deathmatch with ANIMALS, INSECTS, tiny little creatures. I think it’s obvious when we say that we don’t want any part in this. Captain Charisma should be absolutely ashamed of himself for letting this happen. Adding to the laundry list of injustices that British Invasion as a whole has been victim to, he’s lucky that we don’t storm back there right now and give him a piece of our minds. This is bullshit and he knows it, and the fact that our opponents are seemingly getting their way makes my stomach churn.
Halsey Neel: This is not how we expected to walk into the first Marquee Event for Sunday Night Voltage. We were supposed to be contending for the bloody Tag Championships by now. We were supposed to be at the top of the world exactly where we belong, and that didn’t happen, did it? :francis: No, instead here we are, with not just insects groveling at our feet, but absolute nobodies as well who think that they can make an example out of us. They blame US for their inadequacies, when they should understand that they’ve had it coming all this time. We were lenient, we were willing to play their game, but now all of this seems like an absolute joke.
???: This is everything that you asked for.
(British Invasion are stopped in their tracks before they’re able to continue their dialogue, with a voice booming through the speakers to a loud reception from the crowd as they immediately recognize it. The camera pans over to reveal Lt. Colonel Michael Scott Connor as he’s seen storming out with a microphone in hand along with Zane Grae, Effy McAvoy, Travanna Volkova, and Ahren Fournier. The five stand united on the stage as they eye the ring.)
Rich Russillo: Well it seems like their opponents have something to say about this. It doesn’t seem like either that they have many complaints about this match turning out to be the way that it was. Regardless of the implications or the stipulations, none of it mattered as long as they got their hands on the three people inside of the ring.
James Peters: All of them have a reason to feel a certain way about British Invasion, and the trio has created a large target on their back with their antics since arriving on Voltage from Saturday Night Showdown. For Michael, Zane, and Effy I am certain that this match was a long time coming, and they certainly look eager to make that known.
Persephone: The match isn’t now, so why are they out here… I hate this.
(British Invasion are seen shouting inside of the ring at their Bloodsport opponents, but they don’t seem to be very phased by this. The crowd quiets down as Michael is quick to speak up as he continues what he has to say.)
Lt. Colonel Michael Scott Connor: To play the victim right now after everything that you’ve done is bull. All of you are pieces of shit who deserve what is coming to you. I don’t need to restate it, I don’t need to remind you to stroke your bloated egos, you KNOW what you’ve done. While you think this is fun and games, you’re going to realize soon that your actions have consequences. As SOON as you crossed that line, as soon as you slipped THAT ring that you have around your finger right now into your possession, that’s when you made things personal. That’s when you threw away honor, dignity, EVERYTHING. I don’t care what match type this is, I don’t care what the hell I’m going to have to go through, I am going to lead my team exactly where we need to be and that is exacting revenge against all of you.
Daryl Kinkade: You’ve got to be kidding me. Bruv, we didn’t invite you out here! The last thing that we need is a mouthful from three idiots who think that they stand a chance at Bloodsport. Yes, do we have a problem with the stipulation? Who wouldn’t?! But will that stop us from making sure that our message is sent? Absolutely not. The only person that is playing the victim out of all of us is you, Michael. You should know better than to pick fights that you won’t be able to win, and what we did to your precious Jane was only a mere taste of what is to come next week when you step into the ring with us. You could send all the threats you want our way, but what matters is that you execute, and you can’t pull the trigger for shit, bruv. You are a disgrace, and as we’ve proven, we’re more than capable of backing up our words.
(Pandora holds her hand out to the camera, which still has Michael and Jane’s engagement ring on her finger. She smirks as Michael looks livid at this.)
Ahren Fournier: Waaaa waaa, you know what I hear right now?! Bih 1, bih 2, and bih 3 all pouty and complaining that they didn’t get their way. D’aw, is the wittle baby gonna cry. ENOUGH! If there is anybody that should be devastated by such a development it’s the GOAT right here, for PETA and I do not exactly have the best working relationship anymore. Le sigh, twas never meant to be, true love is dead am I right Jennipurr?
Jennipurr: Meow.
Ahren Fournier: POINT IS! You bih ass skank hoes are gonna have to do your crying somewhere else, because if I, as glorious and magnificent as I am, am willing to put my feelings aside for this match, then you Neanderthals should have no problem doing so either. Isn’t that right, Effy?
Effy McAvoy: I understand how devastating of a match this is for Ahren. But I know the last thing that I would want to do is disappoint you, my Love. I, along with the rest of my teammates, are going to win this match, and we are going to do EVERYTHING that we can to secure our victory. If that means shoving worms down your throat or having a piranha gnaw at your entrails, then so be it. Just know that we are going to be RELENTLESS!
Ahren Fournier: Uhh… yes… perhaps not as vile, but yes.
Pandora Paisley: Do you hear yourselves right now??? Do you know how stupid you sound??? You talk about us formulating an opinion regarding this match, but you fail to understand that you three have ZERO clue what you’re getting yourselves into. The massacre that this will end up being for yourselves, and how bloody good it will feel to finally put you behind us. We’ve been waiting a long time for this, we know exactly what we have up our sleeves to take you three down. But you’re not ready for it, and I don’t know how else I’m going to be able to express it to you, but it’s not going to pan out how you expect it to. It’s not going to be the fairytale ending that I am certain you desire. This is going to be your worst nightmare, only adding to the travesties that you have faced.
Zane Grae: Yeah, I hate to break it to you, but that doesn’t work for us. The problem that we have is you think that you’re in control. It’s funny how you say that we’re going to be the ones that face the consequences, but not once have you considered exactly what you have started between the three of us. You made this personal, you crossed the line, and now YOU are going to face the consequences like the hypocrites that you are. Maybe it’s less that we don’t know what we’re getting into and more the fact that you have no clue what all three of us are capable of as a unit. Yes, it can be said that we are inexperienced, for two of us this will be our first Marquee Live Event in Elite Answers Wrestling, but that’s okay. That’s something that we’ve been preparing relentlessly for and we’re not going to back down. Say what you want to say, but you’re only bracing yourself for the beating of a lifetime at our hands.
Halsey Neel: Oh aren’t all of you just lovely? They’re saying that we don’t know what they’re capable of? We do, 100%, we’ve all respectively faced you three in the ring at some point this Season, and you’ve shown us exactly what you’re capable of doing and that is absolutely nothing. We are battle-hardened, this isn’t our first rodeo, this is something that we’ve been through before. We’ve shed blood, we’ve battered people for superiority and come Bloodsport, the agenda is going to be exactly the same as it’s always been.
Daryl Kinkade: Say what you want, bruv, but British Invasion is going to reign supreme. And hey, Michael, if it’s any consolation when we take you out for good, you can share a hospital bed next to Jane if it suits your fancy.
Rich Russillo: AND I THINK MICHAEL HAS HEARD ENOUGH! HE SLAMS HIS MICROPHONE DOWN TO THE GROUND AND HE STORMS DOWN TO THE RING! ZANE AND EFFY NOTICE THIS AND ARE IMMEDIATELY TRAILING HIM AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY’RE NOT GOING TO BE BACKING DOWN FROM THIS FIGHT EITHER!
James Peters: BRITISH INVASION SEE THIS AND THEY LOOK MORE THAN READY FOR THIS THEMSELVES! THEY SLIDE OUT OF THE RING AND MEET THEM AT THE MIDDLE OF THE RAMP AND HERE WE GO! THIS FIGHT HAS BEGUN AND THE CROWD IS GOING ABSOLUTELY CRAZY FOR THIS RIGHT NOW!
Rich Russillo: BOTH TEAMS ARE TRADING BLOWS BACK AND FORTH WITH EACH OTHER! NOT LOOKING TO WAIT FOR BLOODSPORT AND ARE INSTEAD TEARING EACH OTHER APART RIGHT NOW!
James Peters: IF THE ANIMOSITY IS THIS HIGH ON THE GO-HOME SHOW, IMAGINE WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT WEEK?! IMAGINE WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN NOTHING IS STOPPING THEM AND ALL BETS ARE OFF?! WE’RE GOING TO SEE AN ABSOLUTE WAR!
Rich Russillo: BUT RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE ORDER IS BEING RESTORED! A GROUP OF SECURITY ARE RUSHING DOWN AND SPLITTING UP THE TWO TEAMS! THEY’RE SHOUTING AT EACH OTHER AND TRYING TO BREAK FREE, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THEY’RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL BLOODSPORT!
(British Invasion along with Michael, Effy, and Zane are all shouting at one another, trying to break free and looking to keep this fight going. But it seems to be no use as they’re all being separated into different parts of the arena. It’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage, from there, begins to fade out elsewhere.)
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where the British Invasion faces Zane Grae, Michael S. Connor and Effy McAvoy in a PETA’s Worst Nightmare match.)
(Voltage returns to ringside as “Won’t Back Down”, by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is heard playing as Michael S. Connor is seen in the ring. He has a focused look on his face, looking to shift his attention towards the upcoming match.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Bella Braxton: ALREADY IN THE RING…FROM LONDON, OHIO…WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS…HE IS LIEUTENANT COLONEL…MICCHAAAEL S. CONNNNOOOR!
Rich Russillo: Honestly, I do not envy Kutcher, because The Colonel looks extra focused tonight.
James Peters: After what he’s been through, I wouldn’t be surprised if Colonel ups the aggression tonight.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, it’s possible he’s not seeing Damien Kutcher right now, he’s seeing each member of The British Invasion.
(“Revolution” by Kirk Franklin blasts throughout the arena, and Damien Kutcher is fired up ahead of his match with Connor as he marches down to the ring. The fans boo for him thanks to his actions towards Chiyo Gedo, but Damien doesn’t pay any attention to the reaction from the crowd, believing he’s doing the right thing.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! FROM MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, WEIGHING IN AT 240 POUNDS, HE IS THE REBORN SON!!!!!!’ DAMIEN KUTCHER!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Damien Kutcher has ruffled a few feathers. Most of all, he’s gotten under the skin of Chiyo Gedo.
James Peters: Speaking of, we saw Chiyo take advantage of a distracted Michael S. Connor recently, and Kutcher used that as reason to drag his rival down.
James Peters: Well, it’s one thing to talk about it, but it’s another to be about it, and I wonder if Kutcher takes advantage if presented a similar opportunity.
(The referee signals for the bell as both competitors stand in opposing corners.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: The bell has rung, making us officially underway. The Lieutenant Colonel versus The Reborn Son, Michael Scott Connor versus Damien Kutcher.
Rich Russillo: This oughta be good! Both men are circling each other to start things off, and initiate a collar and elbow tie-up in the center of the ring.
James Peters: Jockey for position takes place, and Michael manages to gain the upper hand, backing Damien Kutcher up against the ropes. However, Michael keeps him pinned there, and the referee intervenes with a five count, giving both men time to break.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Rich Russillo: Michael starts to separate from Kutcher, and we get a clean break from both men.
Persephone: I guess God wouldn’t allow Damien to take a cheap shot there.
Rich Russillo: :mjgrin:
James Peters: Damien focuses himself, and circles around Scotty again for a collar and elbow- NO! Damien slips behind Connor for a rear waistlock, outsmarting his opponent there.
Rich Russillo: Though, don’t count Scotty out just yet as he pries Kutcher’s hands apart to isolate the arm with an arm wringer, which isn’t applied long, and quickly transitioned into a standing side headlock. Scotty wrenches on the hold, but Damien aims to escape through bouncing him off the ropes-
James Peters: AND SCOTTY HAS IT SCOUTED! The Colonel skidded down to a seated position, and brought Kutcher to all fours. Damien powers back to his feet, and bounces Scotty off the ropes for a second time! This time, he’s successful, and The Colonel comes rebounding back with a SHOULDER TACKLE!
Rich Russillo: Kutcher goes down, and Scotty runs off the ropes- KUTCHER ROLLS ONTO HIS BELLY! Scotty hops over him, and rebounds off the ropes a second time as Damien returns to his feet- BUT HES INSTANTLY TAKEN BACK DOWN WITH A REBOUNDING SHOULDER TACKLE!
James Peters: Damien rises to a knee, and Scotty grabs hold of him, sending Damien out through the middle rope! Michael leaves the ring as well, looking to do further damage, but Kutcher tries to create seperation from Scotty.
Rich Russillo: Michael’s hot on his heels, not far behind Kutcher as he rounds the ringpost, and slides back inside the ring. Michael rolls back inside the ring as well, and Kutcher tries to EXPLODE with a right hand- BUT MICHAEL BLOCKS IT, AND RETURNS FIRE WITH ONE OF HIS OWN!
James Peters: Michael staggers slightly, but Scotty turns him around, and grounds him with a side headlock takedown! Kutcher had a plan to bait Michael in, but The Colonel was prepared for it, and now wrenches the hold on Kutcher!
Rich Russillo: Damien uses his long legs to escape, wrapping Scotty in a headscissors, and tightening his hold as well.
Persephone: As expected, this match has been pretty boring thus far.
James Peters: When don’t you find a match boring?
Persephone: When the love of my life, Luis, is involved.
James Peters: Yeah, but unfortunately, he’s over on-
Persephone: Remind me again, and I’ll punch you in the neck.
James Peters: :whoa:
Rich Russillo: Okay, threats aside… Scotty moves to a front neck bridge, and pushes his head out from between the legs of Kutcher, POUNCING back on him with another grounded side headlock! ACTUALLY, I SPOKE TOO SOON! KUTCHER DROPPED FLAT ON THE CANVAS, AVOIDING MICHAEL’S ATTEMPT THERE, AND BOTH COMPETITORS SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET!
James Peters: KUTCHER GRABS MICHAEL IN A STANDING SIDE HEADLOCK- BUT MICHAEL BOUNCES HIM OFF THE ROPES TO ESCAPE!! DAMIEN REBOUNDS BACK WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE!
Rich Russillo: Kutcher runs off the ropes, but Michael pops back to his feet, and ducks down early for a back body drop attempt! Kutcher sees it coming, and halts his momentum, grabbing hold of Scotty, then sending him towards the ropes! KUTCHER DUCKS DOWN FOR A BACK BODY DROP OF HIS OWN!
James Peters: But Michael stops HIS momentum short, BEGINNING TO HOOK THE ARMS OF KUTCHER FOR TAPS! THAT DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT- BUT KUTCHER TWIRLS OUT OF IT, AND GOES FOR A SUPERKICK!
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL CATCHES THE BOOT, AND SPINS DAMIEN AROUND FOR A SIDE HEADLOCK TAKEDOWN!
James Peters: Again, smart move by The Colonel. The spin managed to disorient Damien long enough to be caught with that side headlock takeover. Michael wrenches on the hold, and Damien tries escaping with the headscissors once more, but Kutcher bats the leg away, moving his head out of reach.
Rich Russillo: Damien’s given no choice, but to rise back to his feet, which he does. Kutcher tries to back Michael into the corner, but Scotty shifts the momentum last minute, and pins Damien in the corner instead. The referee gets involved, trying to separate both men.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
James Peters: The referee pulls Michael away, and DAMIEN TRIES TO SCORE WITH A RIGHT HAND- BUT MICHAEL BLOCKS IT, AND FLOORS KUTCHER WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! SCOTTY STANDS HIM BACK UP, AND BLASTS KUTCHER ACROSS THE CHEST WITH A DEVASTATING KNIFE EDGE CHOP!
Rich Russillo: The Colonel is beginning to up his aggression, hot in pursuit of Kutcher as he staggers to a corner. Scotty catches up, and delivers ANOTHER knife edge chop to the chest! Pain is etched across the face of Damien, and Michael wrings his arm before irish whipping Kutcher to the opposite corner!
James Peters: DAMIEN REVERSES AT THE LAST MINUTE, SENDING THE COLONEL INSTEAD, AND CHARGES IN! MICHAEL GETS THE BOOT UP, HOWEVER- BUT DAMIEN KUTCHER CATCHES IT! OOH! MICHAEL USED HIS FREE LEG TO CATCH KUTCHER OFF GUARD WITH AN ENZIGURI!
Rich Russillo: DAMIEN’S ON WOBBLY LEGS AT FIRST, AND SCOTTY MARCHES TOWARD HIM, GRABBING HOLD OF DAMIEN TO WHIP HIM TOWARD THE ROPES- BUT DAMIEN COUNTERS, SENDING CONNOR OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! SCOTTY LANDS ON HIS FEET, AND DRAGS KUTCHER OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE!
Persephone: Great. Now, they’re right in front of us.
James Peters: KNEE TO THE GUT BY THE COLONEL, WHO ATTEMPTS TO SEND DAMIEN FACE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST! BUT DAMIEN COUNTERS, SENDING SCOTTY THERE INSTEAD! SCOTTY GETS HIS HAND UP, HALTING HIS MOMENTUM, AND PREVENTING ANY FURTHER CONTACT WITH THAT POST!
Rich Russillo: BUT KUTCHER COMES FROM BEHIND- OOH! WALKED RIGHT INTO A BACK ELBOW! DAMIEN TRIES TO STAGGER AWAY, BUT MICHAEL COMES FROM BEHIND NOW, GRABBING DAMIEN, AND SENDING HIM GUT FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS!
James Peters: MICHAEL THEN SENDS DAMIEN FACE FACE FIRST INTO THE RING! BUT HE ISNT DONE, AND- WHOA! :krabs:
Persephone: Oh, for fucks sake!
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL JUST SENT KUTCHER UP AND OVER OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE!
James Peters: MICHAEL RETRIEVES DAMIEN, AND ROLLS HIM BACK INSIDE! BUT DAMIEN ROLLS OUT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING!
Rich Russillo: Smart to create seperation, but for how long as Michael BLASTS him in the side of his head with a baseball slide! Kutcher goes down to all fours, and Michael pulls him back to his feet- KUTCHER PUSHES PAST SCOTTY, AND STARTS STAGGERING TOWARD OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE AREA!
James Peters: Michael isn’t far behind, and finally, begins to close in on Kutcher as he’s stopped to take a breathe, leaning on our announce table. BUT DAMIEN BAITED HIM IN! KUTCHER BAITED HIM IN, AND SIDESTEPPED MICHAEL, SENDING HIM STOMACH FIRST INTO THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL FAVORS HIS ABDOMEN AS HE STAGGERS INTO KUTCHER FOR A FLAPJACK! KUTCHER JUST DROPPED MICHAEL FACE FIRST ONTO THE APRON WITH A FLAPJACK!
James Peters: KUTCHER ROLLS MICHAEL BACK INSIDE THE RING FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: KICKOUT!
Persephone: Obviously what that was going to result in.
Rich Russillo: Kutcher brings Michael back to his feet, and PLANTS him with a neckbreaker! Damien floats over into the pin!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
James Peters: Kickout! Barely any hesitation, Damien begins climbing to the top rope, perhaps looking for the frog splash, which he calls God’s Light. BUT MICHAEL CUTS HIM OFF WITH A RIGHT HAND! KUTCHER’LL HAVE TO DO A LITTLE MORE THAN THAT TO KEEP MICHAEL DOWN FOR THE FROG SPLASH!
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL CLIMBS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND BEGINS TO HOOK DAMIEN UP FOR A SUPERPLEX! BUT DAMIEN HANGS ONTO THE TOP ROPE, BLOCKING THE ATTEMPT!
James Peters: DAMIEN DELIVERS A SHOT TO THE RIB CAGE, AND SLAMS MICHAEL FACE FIRST OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! MICHAEL DOUBLES OVER, AND DAMIEN SUNSET FLIPS OVER HIM! KUTCHER LANDS ON HIS FEET, AND TRIES PEELING MICHAEL OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE FOR A POWERBOMB!
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL HAS FIRM HOLD OF THE TOP ROPE, REFUSING TO LET GO, AND IS HANGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE! SCOTTY TRIES TO FLIP THE MOMENTUM, AND REIGN DOWN WITH A RIGHT HAND- BUT DAMIEN SLIPS OUT FROM BETWEEN HIS LEGS JUST IN TIME TO AVOID IT!
James Peters: BUT KUTCHER GRABS SCOTTY’S ARM, AND YANKS IT THROUGH THE LEGS! MICHAEL HITS FACE FIRST ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS A RESULT, AND KUTCHER HOPS ON THE BOTTOM ROPE, HOOKING MICHAEL UP FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE! MICHAEL LANDED HIGH ON HIS NECK AND SHOULDERS!
Rich Russillo: DAMIEN CRAWLS INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Persephone: And another kickout… meaning: this match continues on.
James Peters: Well, Persephone, try not to sound so excited.
Persephone: I’m not excited. Not in the slightest.
James Peters: :mjgrin: Well, following that kickout, Kutcher aims to slow things down with a rear chinlock, trying to wear Michael down.
Rich Russillo: But listen to this crowd! Listen to the people in Las Vegas, Nevada! They are rallying behind The Colonel, and this fuels him to power back to his feet. Kutcher senses that Michael is close to breaking free, and doubles him over with a KNEE TO THE GUT! KUTCHER TRIES FOR ANOTHER NECKBREAKER!
James Peters: BUT MICHAEL HOOKS HIS ARMS, AND SCORES WITH A BACKSLIDE!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: KICKOUT! KUTCHER ROLLS TO ALL FOURS, AND THE COLONEL HOOKS HIM UP FOR A SUPLEX, PULLING SCOTT BACK TO HIS FEET! BUT DAMIEN SHIFTS THE MOMENTUM, HOISTING MICHAEL UP INSTEAD! MICHAEL FLOATS UP AND OVER BEHIND!
James Peters: DAMIAN CHARGES TOWARD THE ROPES, AND REBOUNDS OFF- RUNNING RIGHT INTO A SNAP SCOOP POWERSLAM! BUT MICHAEL CANT CAPITALIZE AND BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN!
Rich Russillo: Though, both men begin to stir shortly after, and it’s a matter of who’ll get to their feet first. Will it be Michael? Will it be Kutcher? Whoever does will have a major advantage over the other.
James Peters: Kutcher uses the ropes to pull himself back up, and The Colonel stands himself back up in the center of the ring. DAMIEN GOES FOR A RIGHT HAND- BUT MICHAEL BLOCKS IT, AND CONNECTS WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! DAMIEN STAGGERS SLIGHTLY, BUT TRIES FOR ANOTHER RIGHT HAND!
Rich Russillo: AGAIN, BLOCKED BY MICHAEL, WHO RETURNS FIRE WITH A RIGHT OF HIS OWN! DAMIEN TRIES FOR A THIRD TIME TO CONNECT WITH A RIGHT HAND, BUT MICHAEL BLOCKS IT A THIRD TIME AS WELL, AND LANDS ANOTHER RIGHT THAT STAGGERS KUTCHER BACK INTO THE CORNER!
Persephone: This idiot kept trying the same strategy. Mighta been better to… I don’t know, switch it up. 🙄
James Peters: Michael closes in, and irish whips Kutcher to the opposite corner! BUT DAMIEN COUNTERS AT THE LAST MOMENT, SENDING MICHAEL INTO THE CORNER INSTEAD! BUT MICHAEL IMMEDIATELY SHOOTS OUT OF IT WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
Rich Russillo: CLOTHESLINE FLOORS KUTCHER, WHO QUICKLY POPS BACK TO HIS FEET! AND MICHAEL CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE! KUTCHER IS BACK TO HIS FEET, AND MICHAEL IRISH WHIPS HIM OFF THE ROPES!
James Peters: REVERSAL! DAMIEN REVERSES IT, SENDING MICHAEL TO THE ROPES INSTEAD! DAMIEN DUCKS DOWN, PERHAPS SIGNALING FOR A BACK BODY DROP EARLY- BUT MICHAEL COUNTERS WITH A PENALTY KICK TO THE CHEST, JOLTING KUTCHER UPRIGHT!
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES, AND TAKES KUTCHER DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE! KEEPING HIS MOMENTUM GOING, MICHAEL CONTINUES RUNNING OFF THE ROPES, AND DROPS KUTCHER WITH ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE!
James Peters: MICHAEL RUNS OFF THE ROPES A THIRD TIME, AND FLOORS KUTCHER WITH A CLOTHESLINE! NOW, HE RUNS OFF FOR A FOURTH! MICHAEL REBOUNDS OFF FOR A FIFTH, BUT KUTCHER IS THE ONE WHO SWINGS WILDLY FOR A CLOTHESLINE THIS TIME!
Rich Russillo: WHICH THE COLONEL SEES COMING, AND DUCKS UNDERNEATH, SLIPPING BEHIND KUTCHER FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! DAMIEN JUST GOT DUMPED HIGH ON HIS NECK AND SHOULDERS!
James Peters: KUTCHER ROLLS THROUGH TO A KNEE, AND MICHAEL PULLS HIM UP FOR TAPS! LEAPING DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT! MICHAEL MOVES INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG OF DAMIEN!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: SHOULDER UP!
Persephone: Goddammit. I guess it’s God’s plan to make me sit through this horrendous match
James Peters: :mjgrin:
Rich Russsillo: Michael looks to end this, lifting Damien up in an inverted front facelock for that Dragon Sleeper submission- BUT DAMIEN COUNTERS WITH A SNAPMARE! MICHAEL RUSHES BACK TO HIS FEET, AND GETS LIFTED ON KUTCHER’S SHOULDERS FOR A FIREMANS CARRY!
James Peters: BUT MICHAEL COUNTERS WITH A CRUCIFIX, ROLLING DAMIEN ONTO BOTH SHOULDERS!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

THHHHHHHRRRRRRR-
James Peters: AND MICHAEL IS ABLE TO KICKOUT!
Rich Russillo: Damien pounds the mat in frustration, but pulls Michael up, and places him in the corner. Michael’s back is turned toward Kutcher, who begins climbing up to top rope, pulling Michael up to the middle afterwards. I’m not sure what Kutcher is going for, but it can’t be good.

James Peters: DAMIEN KUTCHER KICKED OUT!
Persephone: Of course he did, it was a superplex for crying out loud.
James Peters: Kutcher rolls out to the apron, creating some much needed separation from Connor. Michael rises back to his feet, and reaches over the top rope, pulling Kutcher back to his feet- BUT KUTCHER CATCHES HIM WITH A HOTSHOT, DROPPING SCOTTY THROAT FIRST ACROSS THE TOP ROPE!
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL GASPS FOR AIR MOMENTARILY BEFORE MARCHING TOWARDS THE ROPES, AND STICKING HIS TORSO THROUGH THE MIDDLE, GRABBING A HOLD OF DAMIEN’S HAIR! DAMIEN BREAKS FREE, AND PULLS MICHAEL OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE!
James Peters: DAMIEN HOOKS MICHAEL UP FOR A POWERBOMB RINGSIDE, AND HOISTS HIM IN THE AIR- BUT MICHAEL SLIPS OFF HIS SHOULDERS, LANDING ON HIS FEET, AND KICKS DAMIEN IN THE GUT! NOW, SCOTTY GOES TO HOOK KUTCHER UP FOR A POWERBOMB!
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL HOISTS KUTCHER UP AND SLAMS HIM ACROSS HIM ONTO THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!
Persephone: They just had to come to our table once again…
James Peters: BUT THE TABLE DIDNT BREAK, AND KUTCHER LIES SPRAWLED ON OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE, LOOKING OUT OF IT! MICHAEL GRABS HOLD OF KUTCHER, AND ROLLS HIM BACK INSIDE THE RING)
Rich Russillo; MICHAEL SLIDES IN, AND GOES TO LIFT KUTCHER UP WHILE HES ON A KNEE! BUT KUTCHER EXPLODES WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE! THE BAPTISM CATCHES SCOTTY SQUARE ON THE JAW, AND NOW THE COLONEL DROPS TO A KNEE!
James Peters: DAMIEN STUMBLES TO THE CORNER, AND LINES MICHAEL UP AS HE SLOWLY RETURNS TO A VERTICAL BASE!
Rich Russillo: FLYING SUPERKICK- NO! THE COLONEL AVOIDS THE ELOHIM, DROPPING FLAT TO THE CANVAS! KUTCHER RETURNS TO HIS FEET, FAVORING HIS BACK!
James Peters: Michael returns to his as well, and staggers toward Kutcher, delivering a RIGHT! Michael goes for another- BUT KUTCHER CATCHES HIM WITH A FOREARM! FOREARM STAGGERS MICHAEL BACK, BUT SCOTTY RETURNS FIRE WITH ANOTHER RIGHT!

Persephone: But throwing a tantrum isn’t going to do anything, will it? 🙄
James Peters: DAMIEN RETURNS TO HIS FEET, AND GOES TO RUN OFF THE OPPOSITE SET OF ROPES WHICH MICHAEL IS LEANED ON! BUT BIG MISTAKE AS MICHAEL CHARGES IN, AND SLIDES OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE, TRIPPING DAMIEN IN THE PROCESS!
Rich Russillo: DAMIEN HIT FACE FIRST ON THE CANVAS, AND MICHAEL SLIDES IN, STALKING HIS OPPONENT FROM BEHIND!! …DRAGON SLEEPER! DRAGON SLEEPER IS LOCKED IN! DD214 APPLIED, AND DAMIEN HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO TAP OUT!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERES YOUR WINNER…MICHAEL SCOTT CONNOR!
(Michael releases the dragon sleeper as “Won’t Back Down” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers blares throughout the arena, and Michael has his hand raised in victory by the referee while Damien lies on the mat, gasping for air.)
James Peters: Big win for Michael heading into Bloodsport!
Rich Russillo; Yeah, I hope British Invasion were watching, because the major appears focused heading into Bloodsport.
James Peters: And that’s what he’ll have to be if he hopes to take down that deadly trio.
(The referee releases Michael’s hand, and Michael exits the ring, heading to the back while high fiving fans as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(Voltage faded backstage and soon focused on a single figure. Candice Blair was sitting on a piece of equipment, her pink heels clanging against the front of the equipment box, and she had a thoughtful look on her pretty face.)
Candice Blair: I have been an Elitist for awhile and it’s no secret that I have failed to live up to my bloodline’s success so far. At times, this has worn me down and made me second guess what exactly it is that I am doing, but luckily, at least for me, those thoughts are fleeting. I have always loved this sport and the larger-than-life personalities that put everything on the line in order to entertain the members of the EAW Universe, and when my family started to get involved in the business, it was only a matter of time before I followed Cameron, Consuela, and Camille.
(Candice paused for a second and brushed a strand of dark hair away from her face.)
Candice Blair: Did I expect for things to be easy? Yes, and also no. This sport is mental and physical, and you have to be tough in order to survive it. But I did expect for it to come easy to me just like it did for my sisters but when it became clear that maybe I wasn’t a natural at it, I decided to forge a different path. I trained all over the world and looked to pick up different styles. I wanted to become my own competitor and not be known as another ‘Ava’. The pressure to live up to what Cameron and even Consuela were accomplishing was a bit too much, and let’s face it, I have a much different mentality than they do. I want my journey to be my own and I didn’t want to deal with the comparisons. I took my time getting to EAW and even when I was ready to sign, I didn’t sign a full-time contract to start off with. To say it’s been a rocky road would be an understatement and as of now, I don’t have a single championship or accomplishment to my name. That stings and it’s frustrating but I know that it’s only a matter of time before that changes.
Candice Blair: People can label me as a dreamer or even tell me that I’m working towards nothing, but gold is in my future. If that wasn’t the case, then people wouldn’t be trying so hard to step all over me. I was looking forward to having a fresh start this season on Voltage, and to put last season behind me. I knew with so many familiar faces on this brand it would be a difficult thing to do. But still, I was hopeful. I was excited to be back on Voltage. I wanted Season 18 to be my season and I finally wanted to have that breakthrough moment.
(Candice laughed in spite of the situation she currently found herself in.)
Candice Blair: I couldn’t even have one week of peace. I couldn’t have one interview without someone sticking their nose where it didn’t belong. I won’t act like I know what goes through someone like Caroline’s head but nothing good has come from her attempt to crucify me and take out my eye. She’s done nothing but piss off people and make bad decisions, and last week was probably the culmination of everything she’s done and karma smiling on me. I know that right now, I’m not the best EAW has to offer. One day, I absolutely will be, but there’s still work for me to do. However, last week was a huge step forward for me.
Candice Blair: Stepping into the ring with Methuselah is never easy, especially when he’s tortured my family for years. I don’t like him and I never will, but what he’s capable of doing in the ring speaks for itself. I knew that I was facing an uphill battle but as long as I could hold my own and survive, I would be happy. I certainly wasn’t surprised when Jake and Caroline decided to get involved. Is anyone else totally bothered by the weird alliance they have going on? No? Okay, anyways, Jake went for Methuselah and Caroline came for me, but things didn’t work out for Caroline, did they? I’m not the one who got misted in the face. That was Methuselah and thanks to Jake and Caroline, I picked up the biggest win of my career. The circumstances it happened under aren’t my fault, and a win is a win. I’m very glad to have gotten my hand raised. I know that it pissed off Caroline and gave her another enemy, and I’m not gunna be sad if Methuselah tears her limb from limb later on tonight.
(Candice actually smiled at the thought.)
Candice Blair: Instead of concerning myself with the situation that allowed me to win, I’m going to focus on the win itself and the momentum it’s given me heading into Bloodsport. I know that a lot of people are already counting me out of the match and that’s fine. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but I know that I can win. Adam Lucas, Solomon Stane, and Caroline are formidable opponents and they’re not strangers to me. Caroline and I have split wins, and I have a lot of respect for Adam and the fight he puts up. Solomon is Solomon; he’s huge and powerful, and the argument can be made he should be Answers World Champion right now. There is nothing about Bloodsport that is going to be easy. None of us know what a Hardcore Carnival is, and I can only hope it proves to be as magic for me as Disneyland was.
(Candice rolled her eyes, because deep down, she knew better than that.)
Candice Blair: But I won’t count on that.
Candice Blair: This is Voltage. This is going to be some insane match that favors Solomon or Caroline, or even Adam. I’m obviously going to be at a disadvantage come Bloodsport but I have never let that stop me. Caroline started shit with me even after getting her win back, and I’m not going to let anyone bully me or act like I’m some pushover. She deserves whatever she gets come Bloodsport, and it’s not like I’m going to be afraid of Adam and Solomon either. I have stepped into the ring with some of the best EAW has to offer, and I have never shied away from a fight. Taylor Swift aka God knows that I have been in some pretty tricky and horrible situations. Nothing has ever kept me down, at least not for long, and Caroline, Adam, and Solomon won’t be the ones to accomplish that either.
(Candice hopped down from the equipment box and put her hands on her hips.)
Candice Blair: We all want to win and this is an important match. We find ourselves heading into Territorial Invasion and there’s a lot on the line. The winner of this match at Bloodsport might end up in the championship picture and that’s my goal this season. I want to win my first ever championship. I may be the underdog heading into this, but who doesn’t love a good underdog story? It won’t be the first time I’ve been counted out and surprised people, and I doubt it will be the last. Either way, my three opponents can bet that they will be seeing a new side of Candice Blair Ava come Bloodsport; a ruthless version more or less. I know that if I want a title, I have to step up, and if that means getting my perfectly manicured hands dirty, I will do it. Caroline, Adam, Solomon… get ready because next weekend, the rise of Candice Blair starts and I’m going to ride the wave of momentum I have right now all the way to victory.
(Candice looked at the camera with nothing but determination in her eyes. She knew that the others would overlook her words, even brush them off. But she was past the point of caring about that. She was in this season to win it all, and make sure no one would ever mistake her for someone else’s sister. She was proud of her family, obviously, but it was time to focus on herself and once and for all, get the championship belt she had been dreaming of.)
(After letting her words marinate, Candice tossed her brunette hair and walked off.)
(Voltage faded to commercial.)
(Commercial for Captain America: Brave New World. In theaters 2025.)
(“Apostle’s Warning” by Mobb Deep can be heard in the background as Michael Machina is seen taking a seat with commentary, and putting his headset on.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… MICHAEL MACHINA!
(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(“The World is Gonna End Tonight” by Dan Romer and Peter Harper plays, and Solomon Stane makes his way down to the ring, determined ahead of his match with Ms. Extreme, knowing the opportunity in front of him to knock off a Hall of Famer, AND build momentum ahead of Bloodsport.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Hailing from the City of Sin, weighing in at 266 pounds…HE IS YOUR SAVIOR…SOLOMON STANE!
James Peters: Michael, I’ll ask you straight up. Any chance you’re rooting for Solomon to topple Ms. Extreme tonight?
Michael Machina: I wouldn’t mind it, but truth be told: the winner doesn’t matter. Doesn’t change what is going to happen at Bloodsport, and I gave her a preview of that earlier.
Rich Russillo: Some are saying this is also a preview for Bloodsport, as we’ll see how Ms. Extreme fairs against a much taller, and stronger opponent in Solomon Stane.
(‘RED THUNDER’ by Butcher Babies plays next, and Ms. Extreme makes her way onto the stage, favoring the injuries she suffered from the attack by Michael Machina earlier, and marches down to the ring, an angry expression on her face, especially seeing Michael Machina ringside at commentary.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent!! Hailing out of Calabasas, California, weighing in at 140 pounds…SHE IS THE PROBLEM CHILD…MS. EXTREME!!!
Rich Russillo: Things have obviously gotten heated between you two, so any plans you have on interfering tonight?
Michael Machina: No, Ms. Extreme can consider herself safe… for now.
Rich Russillo: Granted, Ms. Extreme might prefer if you started a problem, as she looks ready to kick your ass right now, not just Solomon’s.
Michael Machina: Hey, I’m sitting right here. If she’s got a problem, do something about it.
(The referee signals for the bell as both competitors stand in opposing corners.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Well, Mr. Machina, I implore you to watch closely as the bell has rung, making the match between both Solomon Stane and Ms. Extreme officially underway.
Rich Russillo: Neither competitor has decided to leave their corner just yet, staring the other down- BEFORE SOLOMON STANE SHOOTS OUT OF HIS, CHARGING TOWARD MS. EXTREME, WHO MANAGES TO SIDESTEP OUT THE WAY!
James Peters; SOLOMON COLLIDES STERNUM FIRST WITH THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, AND TURNS AROUND, BEING ON THE RECEIVING END OF A BARRAGE OF ATTACKS FROM MS. EXTREME! CAMILLE HAS SOLOMON IN A MUAY THAI CLINCH, DELIVERING SHOTS TO THE ABDOMEN AND RIB CAGE!
Rich Russillo: SOLOMON STANE BACKS CAMILLE TO THE CENTER, AND LANDS A BIG KNEE STRIKE TO THE MIDSECTION, DOUBLING HER OVER! SOLOMON SENDS MS. EXTREME OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, BUT CAMILLE LANDS ON HER FEET, AND IMMEDIATELY SLIDES BACK INSIDE THE RING!
James Peters: UNBEKNOWNST TO STANE, WHO TEMPORARILY TURNED AROUND! SOLOMON TURNS TO NOTICE CAMILLE BEHIND HIM, BUT GETS IMMEDIATELY PELTED WITH RIGHT HANDS ONCE MORE!
Rich Russillo: BUT SOLOMON STANE CHUCKS HER OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AGAIN, AND MS. EXTREME LANDS ON HER FEET!
James Peters: AGAIN, SOLOMON HAS TURNED HIS BACK TO MS. EXTREME, BUT’LL LEARN NOT TO DO THAT AGAIN AS SHE SLIDES BACK INSIDE THE RING ONCE MORE! SOLOMON SPINS AROUND- BUT IS TOO LATE TO BLOCK A BARRAGE OF RIGHT HANDS, ALTERNATING BETWEEN THE HEAD AND BODY!
Rich Russillo: SOLOMON GRABS THE BACK OF CAMILLE’S NECK, AND TRIES SENDING HER OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME, CAMILLE HAS HIM SCOUTED, SHIFTING MOMENTUM AT THE LAST MINUTE, AND SENDING SOLOMON OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE INSTEAD!
James Peters: SOLOMON LANDS ON HIS FEET, BUT MS. EXTREME RUNS OFF THE ROPES, BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR A SUICICE DIVE! SOLOMON GETS KNOCKED OFF HIS FEET, BUT IS ALREADY BEGINNING TO STIR, RISING UP TO ALL FOURS, ATTEMPTING TO SHAKE THE COBWEBS OUT OF HIS HEAD!
Rich Russillo: BUT CAMILLE ROLLS HIM BACK INSIDE, AND SOLOMON RISES BACK TO HIS FEET, STAGGERING TOWARDS THE CORNER IN HOPES OF CREATING SEPARATION!
James Peters: MS. EXTREME IS QUICK TO CLOSE THE DISTANCE, AND LANDS MULTIPLE BLOWS TO THE FACE OF STANE, WHO TRIES TO COVER UP! BUT SOLOMON EXPLODES, AND GRABS HOLD OF CAMILLE, SENDING HER INTO THE CORNER!
Rich Russillo: AND SOLOMON STANE CONNECTS WITH AN OVERHAND CHOP TO THE CHEST THAT ECHOED THROUGHOUT THE ARENA!
Michael Machina: Yeah, she’s hurting. I can tell that Solomon got a good shot in, but I hope she knows that it only gets worse from here, because I’m going to hit her even harder.
James Peters: Strong words, but back inside the ring, Camille pushes past Solomon following that chop, and tries staggering toward the nearest corner. Solomon isn’t far behind, hot on his opponent’s heels- BUT MS. EXTREME SPINS AROUND, AND BLASTS HIM WITH A FOREARM!
Rich Russillo: BUT SOLOMON STANE QUICKLY ISSUES A REBUTTAL WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN, KNOCKING MS. EXTREME DOWN TO A KNEE IN THE CORNER!
James Peters: Solomon retrieves Ms. Extreme, and stands her up- LAUNCHING HER TO THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH A SUPLEX TOSS! Ms. Extreme writhes in pain, and Solomon Stane has placed himself firmly in control.
Persephone: Who the hell names their kid Solomon?
James Peters: Persephone… how does that relate to ANYTHING going on currently?
Persephone: It doesn’t, but I’m just staying. When me and Luis eventually have our beautiful kids, I won’t naming the baby Solomon. I know that much.
James Peters: :roman: Lots of things to unpack in that sentence, but very little time.
Rich Russillo: Because Solomon pulls Ms. Extreme back to her feet, and hooks her up for a powerbomb- BUT MS. EXTREME DROPS TO A KNEE! CAMILLE DROPS TO A KNEE, BLOCKING IT!
James Peters: SOLOMON CLUBS CAMILLE ACROSS THE BACK A FEW TIMES BEFORE PULLING HER BACK INTO POSITION FOR A POWERBOMB! SOLOMON GOES TO HOIST HER UP, BUT MS. EXTREME DRIVES HIM BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER!
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme staggers away slightly, creating a little space, SO SHE CAN BUILD MOMENTUM AS SHE RUSHES IN- BUT SOLOMON SENDS HER UP AND OVER HIS SHOULDER TO THE OUTSID- NO! MS. EXTREME CATCHES HERSELF ON THE APRON!
James Peters: SOLOMON GOES FOR A RIGHT HAND, BUT MS. EXTREME AVOIDS IT, SCORING WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZIGURI!
Rich Russillo: STANE STAGGERS SLIGHTLY BEFORE DOUBLING OVER NEAR THE ROPES! MS. EXTREME SLINGSHOTS HERSELF OVER THE TOP- CAUGHT! MS. EXTREME GOT CAUGHT ON THE SHOULDERS OF SOLOMON STANE IN A FIREMANS CARRY POSITION!
James Peters: MS. EXTREME THRASHES AROUND AS SOLOMON MAKES HIS WAY TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING! FINALLY, MS. EXTREME SLIPS OUT BEHIND HIM, AND GRABS SOLOMON FROM BEHIND IN A REAR WAISTLOCK!
Rich Russillo: BUT SOLOMON USES HIS SUPERIOR SIZE AND STRENGTH TO PRY MS. EXTREME’S HANDS APART BEFORE CATCHING HER OFF GUARD WITH A STIFF BACK ELBOW!
James Peters: Ms. Extreme staggers to the ropes, and Solomon Stanes closes in on her, irish whipping Camille off the ropes! CAMILLE SPRINGS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND ALMOST COLLIDES INTO STANE! BUT GRABS HOLD OF CAMILLE OUT OF MID AIR, GRABBING HOLD OF HER WAIST IN A WAISTLOCK! MS. EXTREME QUICKLY MAKES HER WAYS TO THE ROPES, HOOKING THE TOP ROPE WITH BOTH ARMS!
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME HOLD OF THE TOP ROPE, AND SHE FLINGS SOLOMON OFF, FORCING STANE TO ROLL THROUGH TO HIS FEET! MS. EXTREME CHARGES IN- BUT IMMEDIATELY GETS HER MOMENTUM HALTED WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP!
James Peters: Michael, Ms. Extreme has been extremely relentless to start things off, and that’s what you’ll have to deal with at Bloodsport.
Michael Machina: Bring it on.
Rich Russillo: Solomon Stane pulls Ms. Extreme back to her feet, and hooks her up for a BACK SUPLEX! NO! MS. EXTREME BACKFLIPS ONTO HER FEET, AND STAGGERS BACK INTO THE CORNER! SOLOMON STANE RUSHES IN- BUT MS. EXTREME POPS THE BOOT UP!
James Peters: SOLOMON STANE STAGGERS SLIGHTLY, BUT SPINS BACK AROUND, AND CHARGES IN AT CAMILLE! MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO SLITHER THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND OUT TO THE APRON, AVOIDING STANE AS HE RUNS STERNUM FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME GRABS THE BACK OF STANE’S HEAD, AND DIRECTS HIM TOWARD ANOTHER CORNER, AIMING TO BOUNCE STANE FACE FIRST OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! BUT SOLOMON GETS HIS BOOT UP ON THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE TO BLOCK IT!
James Peters: SOLOMON SUCCESSFULLY BLOCKS IT, AND BOUNCES MS. EXTREME FACE FIRST OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, THEN TAGS STANE WITH AN APRON ROUNDHOUSE KICK! SOLOMON STAGGERS, AND MS. EXTREME CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE! MISSILE DROPKICK!
Rich Russillo: COVER IS MADE!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: KICKOUT!
Persephone: Unfortunately, Solomon still has more left in the tank.
James Peters: Plus, through the kickout, Mr. Machina gains a little more time to scout his opponent ahead of Bloodsport.
Michael Machina: No complaints from me.
Rich Russillo: Solomon Stane pulls himself up in the corner, and Ms. Extreme walks over to the opposite, ready to build momentum for a RUNNING- BOOT UP! SOLOMON STANE GOT THE BOOT UP, FLIPPING THE SCRIPT ON CAMILLE, WHO STAGGERS BACK NOW!
James Peters: SOLOMON SHOOTS OUT THE CORNER WITH A CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT, BUT GETS CAUGHT BY MS. EXTREME! MS. EXTREME HOOKS SOLOMON UP FOR AN EXPLODER SUPLEX, BUT SOLOMON QUICKLY REIGNS DOWN WITB 12-6 ELBOWS TO THE BACK OF THE NECK!
Rich Russillo: MULTIPLE ELBOWS TO THE BACK OF THAT NECK ARE WHAT FINALLY GET CAMILLE TO BACK OFF SLIGHTLY, AND BREAK HER EXPLODER SUPLEX ATTEMPT! SOLOMON BLASTS HER WITH A FOREARM, TURNING CAMILLE AROUND! ITS CLEAR THAT EVERY PUNCH AND KICK THROWN BY STANE PACKS WAY MORE UMPH THAN ANY THROWN BY CAMILLE!
James Peters: Camille favors his jaw momentarily before managing to put her game face on, AND SPINS BACK AROUND WITH A FOREARM OF HER OWN! STANE FIGHTS BACK WITH A FOREARM AS WELL! MS. EXTREME IS ON WOBBLY LEGS AT FIRST, BUT DOES RETURN FIRE WITH A FOREARM AS WELL!
Rich Russillo: FOREARM BY STANE! FOREARM BY EXTREME!! FOLLOWED BY MULTIPLE MORE FOREARMS BY MS. EXTREME, WHO IS HAMMERING SOLOMON, BACKING HIM UP AGAINST THE ROPES! STANE IS REELING, AND MS. EXTREME RUNS OFF THE OPPOSITE SET-
James Peters: RUNNING FOREARM BY CAMILLE WITH SOLOMON STANE LEANED UP AGAINST THE ROPES, AND SHE TAKES THE OPPORTUNITY TO LAUNCH THE BIG MAN WHILE HES STUNNED WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! EXPLODER TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! MS. EXTREME MOVES INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: AND SOLOMON POPS THE SHOULDER UP!
Michael Machina: I’ll give Ms. Extreme credit, because she ate Solomon’s blows, and gritted through the pain to fight two times harder. That’s the part I look forward to at Bloodsport. I understand that I’m stepping in there with a fighter.
James Peters: Ms. Extreme slowly makes it back to her feet, and starts to pull Solomon back to his shortly after. Camille KNOCKS Solomon Stane back into the corner with a HARD SHOOT KICK! Ms. Extreme gets closer, and lifts Solomon Stane to the top rope! Camille climbs to the middle, and hooks him up for a SUPERPLEX!
Rich Russillo: BUT SOLOMON HANGS ONTO THE TOP ROPE, BLOCKING THE ATTEMPT FROM CAMILLE! MS. EXTREME STARTS TO UNLOAD WITH MULTIPLE CLUBBING BLOWS TO THE BACK OF SOLOMON STANE! CLUBBING BLOW AFTER CLUBBING BLOW, PUTTING ALL HER STRENGTH INTO THEM, TRYING TO WEAR STANE DOWN FURTHER FOR THE SUPERPLEX!
James Peters: FINALLY, MS. EXTREME DOES RELENT, AND TRIES THAT SUPERPLEX ONE MORE TIME, AND BOTH COMPETITORS COME CRASHING DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS! SUPERPLEX CONNECTS!
Persephone: No clue why wrestlers continue to do a move that hurts them delivering it as well.
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme moves to all fours, BUT FINDS SOLOMON STANE LOCKING EYES WITH HER ON ALL FOURS AS WELL! SOLOMON STANE IS FIRED UP, AND POWERS BACK TO HIS FEET! MS. EXTREME RISES TO HERS AS WELL, AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES!
James Peters: BIG BOOT! MS. EXTREME WITH A BIG BOOT! BUT SOLOMON STANE DOESNT GO DOWN, REMAINING ON HIS FEET, AND IS STILL FIRED UP! MS. EXTREME RUNS OFF THE ROPES AGAIN, AND BLASTS SOLOMON STANE WITH ANOTHER BIG BOOT! BUT HE DOESNT GO DOWN! SOLOMON IS GRITTING THROUGH THE PAIN!
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME RUNS OFF THE ROPES A THIRD TIME, BUT SHES CAUGHT UPON REBOUNDING BACK! SOLOMON STANE GOOZLES HER FOR A CHOKESLAM! SOLOMON STANE MUST BE LOOKING FOR TRIUMPH OF TRUTH- BUT MS. EXTREME SWATS HIS HAND AWAY, AND EXPLODES WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!
James Peters: STANE STILL DOESNT GO DOWN, BUT DOES SPIN AROUND AS A RESULT, AND GETS DUMPED HIGH ON HIS NECK AND SHOULDERS WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: SOLOMON ROLLS THROUGH TO HIS FEET, AND HIS FIGHTING SPIRIT REMAINS ALIVE, LETTING OUT A SCREAM BEFORE CHARGING MS. EXTREME WITH A CLOTHESLINE! BUT CAMILLE TRAPS THE ARM, AND PLANTS HIM WITH A SPINNING NECKBREAKER!
James Peters: MS. EXTREME CRAWLS INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRR-
James Peters: KICKOUT- BUT MS. EXTREME IMMEDIATELY TRANSITONS INTO A CROSSFACE! CROSSFACE SUBMISSION HOLD LOCKED IN! MS. EXTREME WRENCHES BACK ON THE SUBMISSION, AND SOLOMON STANE, REALIZING HES TROUBLE SLITHERS TO THE ROPES, AND PLACES HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE TO ESCAPE!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
Rich Russillo: The referee pries Ms. Extreme off the submission hold, and Stane rolls out underneath the bottom rope, landing on his feet, but doubled over while catching his breath.
Michael Machina: Ms. Extreme’s been struggling with one monster this match. Now, imagine when she has to lock horns with THIS monster. One thing she’ll learn is I’m an entirely different beast from Solomon altogether.
Persephone: I’ll at least have a front row ticket to see you two annihilate each other, so that’ll be a bright spot of my week.
James Peters: It’ll be a bright spot for everyone’s week, watching those two warriors go at it.
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme steps out to the apron, unbeknownst to Solonon Stane, who is still doubled over, having his back toward Camille. Finally, Solomon turns around, AND MS. EXTREME CHARGES IN WITH A PENALTY KICK FROM THE APRON!
James Peters: BUT SOLOMON STANE DUCKS UNDERNEATH! MS. EXTREME SPINS AROUND, AND TRIES IT AGAIN, BUT SOLOMON CATCHES THE BOOT! SOLOMON CAUGHT THE BOOT, AND LIFTS CAMILLE ONTO HIS SHOULDERS IN A FIREMANS CARRY!
Rich Russillo: SOLOMON POPS HER UP, AND DROPS CAMILLE FACE FIRST ONTO THE APRON! CAMILLE IS ON WOBBLY LEGS, AND SOLOMON GRABS HER BY THE THROAT, SLAMMING CAMILLE DOWN ON THE APRON ONCE MORE, THIS TIME WITH A CHOKESLAM! APRON TRIUMPH OF TRUTH, AND SOLOMON ROLLS MS. EXTREME BACK INSIDE FOR A COVER, HOOKING THE LEG ONCE HE SLIDES BACK IN!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEE-
James Peters: NO!! MS. EXTREME KICKS OUT, AND SOLOMON STANE CANT BELIEVE IT, HAVING THOUGHT HE HAD CAMILLE BEAT RIGHT THEN AND THERE!
Rich Russillo: Solomon pounds the mat in frustration, and approaches a downed Camille, lifting her back to a vertical base, and backing her into the corner. Solomon lifts Camille to the top rope, and climbs to the middle!
James Peters: Solomon climbed to the middle rope- BUT IS IMMEDIATELY MET WITH CLUBBING BLOWS ACROSS THE BACK BY MS. EXTREME! MS. EXTREME HAS FIGHT LEFT IN HER, AND IS SHOWING IT AT THIS MOMENT!
Rich Russillo: SOLOMON STANE IS DOUBLED OVER ON THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND THE LIGHT BULB GOES OFF IN CAMILLE’S HEAD, PERCHING HERSELF ON THE TOP ROPE FOR AN AVALANCHE SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!
James Peters: CAMILLE- CAMILLE LANDS ON HER FEET, AND TRIES PEELING STANE OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE FOR THAT POWERBOMB! BUT ITS NO USE! SOLOMON HAS A FIRM HOLD OF THAT TOP ROPE, AND STARTS TO REIGN DOWN WITH PUNCHES TO THE SKULL OF MS. EXTREME!
Rich Russillo: FINALLY, MS. EXTREME GETS HER HEAD FROM BETWEEN HIS LEGS, AND DOUBLES OVER AS SOLOMON CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE WITH HIS BACK TURNED TOWARDS HER STILL- BIG MISTAKE AS MS. EXTREME CROTCHES HIM ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
James Peters: MS. EXTREME CLIMBS UP ON THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND HOOKS SOLOMON UP FOR AN AVALANCHE GERMAN SUPLEX!!! CAMILLE CRAWLS INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: BUT SOLOMON STANE STILL POPS HIS SHOULDER UP, DESPITE THAT DEVASTATING MANEUVER HE WAS ON THE RECEIVING END OF!
James Peters: WHAT A MOVE THAT MS. EXTREME MANAGED TO HIT THERE! SOLOMON STANE HAD LANDED HARD WITH A BACKFLIP OFF THAT AVALANCHE GERMAN SUPLEX, HIS FACE HITTING HARD ON THE CANVAS! IMMEDIATELY TOO, CAMILLE WENT FOR THE COVER, WASTING NO TIME, AND STANE STILL WAS ABLE TO KICKOUT!
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme gestures for Stane to get up, and he slowly rises to a knee. CAMILLE GOES TO RUN OFF THE ROPES, BUT STANE GRABS HER FROM BEHIND, AND BOUNCES HER OFF THE ROPES FOR AN O’CONNOR ROLL- NO! CHAOS THEORY! CHAOS THEORY GERMAN SUPLEX! BEAUTIFUL BRIDGE BY SOLOMON STANE!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEE-
James Peters: KICKOUT! MS. EXTREME RUSHES TO A KNEE, BUT SOLOMON STANE BLASTS HER WITH A SUPERKICK, AND IMMEDIATELY HOOKS HER UP AFTERWARDS FOR A GOURDBUSTER GTS! ODINS EYE MAY HAVE KNOCKED MS. EXTREME THE HELL OUT! SOLOMON DROPS INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo; MS, EXTREME KICKS OUT!
Persephone: Of course…
Michael Machina: Solomon should look into ending this now.
James Peters: Well, Ms. Extreme isn’t making that part easy for him as she rolls out to the apron. Solomon Stane reaches over the top rope, grabbing a handful of hair, and pulling Camille back to her feet- BUT MS. EXTREME CATCHES HIM WITH A HOTSHOT STUNNER! DROPPING SOLOMON STANE THROAT FIRST ACROSS THE TOP ROPE!
Rich Russillo: STANE DROPS TO A KNEE, STRUGGLING FOR AIR, AND MS. EXTREME MAKES HER WAY TO THE TOP ROPE! MS. EXTREME PERCHES HERSELF, AND DIVES OFF WITH A CORKSCREW STUNNER AS SOLOMON RETURNS TO HIS FEET!
James Peters: GLASS CEILING CONNECTS! THIS COULD BE IT! MS. EXTREME HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE-
James Peters: NO! SOLOMON STANE STILL GETS THE SHOULDER UP! AND STANE BEGINS CRAWLING TO THE CORNER, AND PULLING HIMSELF UP!
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme rises back to her feet, and backs into the opposite corner, not taking her eyes off Solomon Stane.
Persephone: Hopefully, this bitch wraps it up.
James Peters; MS. EXTREME CHARGES IN WITH A FOREARM SMASH ON SOLOMON IN THE CORNER, AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR A CLOTHESLINE AS SOLOMON COMES STAGGERING OUT OF THE CORNER!
Rich Russillo: BUT SOLOMON CATCHES MS. EXTREME IN THE ARM WITH A BIG BOOT, TURNING HER AROUND- WAIT! DISCUS LARIAT! MS. EXTREME CAUGHT SOLOMON WITH A DISCUS LARIAT! MS. EXTREME QUICKLY PULLS SOLOMON BACK TO HIS FEET, AND SCORES WITH CODE RED! SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB! CAMILLE HOLDS IT FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE-
James Peters: KICKOUT!
Michael Machina: These two have been extremely resilient thus far.
Rich Russillo: And what’s the plan once you run into this same resiliency of Camille at Bloodsport?
Michael Machina; It’s simple. Just keep beating her down until that resiliency is gone.
Persephone: God, having to sit through this match has been torture.
James Peters: But it’s torture for you ever match.
Persephone: Exactly.
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme has returned to her feet, and Solomon Stane has risen to both knees. CAMILLE GOES FOR A SHOOT KICK TO THE CHEST, BUT STANE CATCHES IT, AND HOLDS ONTO IT AS HE MAKES IT BACK TO HIS FEET!
James Peters: OOH! MS. EXTREME WITH A STEP-UP ENZIGURI! SOLOMON STANE IS ON SPAGHETTI LEGS, AND CAMILLE POPS BACK TO HER FEET! ROUNDHOUSE KICK- DUCKED UNDERNEATH! AND SOLOMON CONNECTS WITH A BELL CLAP!
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME’S EARS HAVE TO BE RINGING AS SHE GETS GRABBED IN AN INVERTED FRONT FACELOCK, BUT SHE COUNTERS WITH A SNAPMARE! SOLOMON STANE QUICKLY SCRAMBLES TO A KNEE- HOLY GROUND! JUMPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP FROM CAMILLE, CAVING IN THE CHEST OF STANE, AND SHE HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERE’S YOUR WINNER… MS. EXTREME!!
(‘RED THUNDER’ by Butcher Babies plays, and Ms. Extreme sits up off Solomon Stane, favoring her ribs following the hard fought match. Eventually, she rises back to a vertical base, and has her hand raised in victory by the referee, turning towards Michael Machina ringside while it is.)
Michael Machina: Congratulations, you beat Solomon Stane. Now, let’s see if you can beat me at Bloodsport.
James Peters: Hard fought victory for Ms. Extreme, who went up against the bigger opponent tonight, but at Bloodsport, she does the same, going up against Michael Machina.
Rich Russillo: And will the result be the same? Will Ms. Extreme manage to knock off The Machine as well?
Persephone: Enough. Just tune into the show to find out.
(Ms. Extreme stares Machina down from the ring as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts to a more secluded portion of the backstage area where we see Adam Lucas sitting on top of one of the production crates. When the camera shot gets closer, we can see that Adam looks to be lost in thought. There’s no doubt there’s probably a lot on his mind, but Adam finally looks up and clears his throat before he begins to speak.)
Adam Lucas: Here we go. One more week until we finally reach Bloodsport. With Bloodsport, comes my first high profile match of the season. With the first high profile match of the season comes a fatal four way.
Adam Lucas: A fatal four way match that includes the likes of Princess Candice Blair, Caroline and Solomon Stane. Three people who it would be safe to say that none of us really care for another in this whole mess. Anyways, I have got to know the three of them a little bit more over the last weeks ever since the season started… whether I like it or not I wanted it to happen, but I can tell you this is not by a choice of my own.
(Adam couldn’t help but roll his eyes even thinking about this whole situation. Just thinking about the last month of Voltage is starting to give Adam a headache. Adam takes a quick second to take a deep breath to keep his composure before continuing.)
Adam Lucas: To be honest, where in the world should I begin? Candice is in this mess because she and Solomon were having a fight over who wanted to fight Caroline. Not that it really mattered to me. It was my match against Candice a few weeks ago where this whole disaster even started. That’s how she figures into this whole situation.
Adam Lucas: Then we of course have the creepy Solomon Stane. This man is a deranged lunatic who cares about nothing but himself and his conquest towards destroying Caroline. The only positive thing about that is that myself and Solomon managed to get a tag team win over Caroline and Candice.
Adam Lucas: Then of course we have Caroline. The witch. The Wicked Witch. The same Wicked Witch who took it upon herself to spew that Black Mist in my eyes after MY match with Candice and turning this into a scene from some crappy horror movie.
(Adam catches himself once again so he can calm down and not let his emotions get in the way of what he is trying to say. He takes another deep breath before continuing.)
Adam Lucas: After hearing all of that, you would think that this has been going on for months or something, but it HASN’T! All of this has gone down only in the last few weeks. Quite frankly, I am just sick and tired of this whole damn thing.
Adam Lucas: When this season started, all I wanted to do was forget about the last few months and everything that went down with that. All I wanted to do was to simply get my career back on track, but that just couldn’t happen now, could it?
Adam Lucas: Of course not! Not with Caroline coming around and throwing all of those plans out the window. Caroline just had to go and ruin absolutely EVERYTHING!
Adam Lucas: Caroline caused all this trouble and now it has come to this. All that Caroline would have had to do was just have kept her nose out of my business and we would have never been in this situation, but she just couldn’t do that.
(Adam has been doing a great job keeping an even keel thus far, but his frustration with this whole situation is becoming more apparent the more he talks about his upcoming match at Bloodsport as well as his opposition.)
Adam Lucas: Then of course Caroline’s antics and attitude have brought Solomon and Candice into the story along with us. Now while Candice and Solomon weren’t the direct cause of all this crap, I’ll keep with the honesty and say that having Candice and Solomon involved doesn’t exactly make things any better.
Adam Lucas: Frustrating would probably be an understatement as to describe how I feel about everything that is going down right now. All I was trying to do was trying to get my life and my career back on track to get myself back to where I was, but I find myself in the middle of something that nightmares are made out of.
Adam Lucas: I had a mission this season when I came back to Voltage. Candice. Caroline. Solomon. All three of them have thrown a huge monkey wrench into my plan. Hell, I’ll be up front with it and say that all three of them have just been in the way of my plan.
Adam Lucas: To be honest, I had a vision in my mind of what I pictured my beginning of the season to be. It’s nothing completely personal, but it’s just a little bit annoying. It’s just a little bit aggravating that THIS is how I have to start off my season on Voltage.
(Even though he is obviously frustrated with how his season has started, Adam still manages to keep calm and even get himself to the point that he has almost a smile on his face.)
Adam Lucas: But don’t worry. What I have going on right now is just going to be a minor hindrance of my overall plans because I am certainly NOT going to let this continue to impact my entire season. No more than it already has. Not for ONE! MOMENT! LONGER!
Adam Lucas: You see, I have many other goals on my list that I intend to reach and achieve this season, but I really can’t do that when I am having to deal with Candice, Solomon, and Caroline. I really can’t give my goals the true attention they deserve until I deal with this whole situation once and for all… and that’s where Bloodsport comes into play.
Adam Lucas: All I can say is that the moment that Bloodsport is over with, I am done with this whole scenario. I am moving on. I am moving on from Candice. I am moving on from Solomon, and I sure as hell am gonna move on from Caroline.
Adam Lucas: I am moving on from all this frustration and finally getting focused back on my main objective and that is my career.
(Adam closes his eyes and almost puts himself in a zen state thinking about being only a week away from ridding himself of all this frustration and annoyance that has taken him off track of his goals before he opens his eyes again and continues to speak.)
Adam Lucas: Let me tell you that Bloodsport couldn’t happen a moment too soon. All that Solomon, Candice, and ESPECIALLY Caroline have been doing nothing but frustrating over the last few weeks.
Adam Lucas: Seriously. It has been week after week after gosh forsaken week of all this back and forth bullcrap between the four of us. It is the trash talking and the sneak attacks time and time again to go along with all the interferences in our matches. It’s like a game of one upmanship and I am done with it. I am done with ALL of it!
Adam Lucas: I might not have been the one who started all this crap, but I sure as hell plan on being the one who will FINALLY put an end to all of this. ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Adam Lucas: I know that last week we saw Caroline spin the wheel and because of her this match will be contested under “Hardcore Carnival” rules… whatever in the world that means. Heck, the wheel could have ended on any of the matches on that wheel and my feelings would be no different.
Adam Lucas: I am going to go ahead and tell the world right now that I PROMISE that I am going to win that fatal four way match at Bloodsport and everybody else in this match is going to have to beat me half to death to even have a slim of a chance to defeat me.
Adam Lucas: Candice Blair isn’t going to be able to stop me. Solomon Stane isn’t going to be able to stop me either and I sure as heck know that Caroline isn’t going to be able to stop me. That match is MINE!
Adam Lucas: After all is said and done, I am going to be leaving Bloodsport with my arm raised in victory and there isn’t going to be a dang thing that any of them are going to be able to do about.
(Adam wraps up what he has to say with a look of pure determination shown across his face as well as a look of almost pure fire in his eyes as the final shot shows Adam looking straight into the camera, almost staring through the camera as the shot fades elsewhere.)
(Commercial for the upcoming game Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero.)
(The camera cuts to a wide shot of the T-Mobile Arena, directed towards the stage area as fans are awaiting the arrival of the next elitist to come out, and aren’t disappointed at all once “Okay” by JT blares throughout the arena, playing out none other than Diamond Dixon, who is dressed to the nines, and being flanked by Tyrone Montgomery, wearing his usual suit. Diamond struts onto the stage, and strikes a pose while Tyrone watches on with a smirk, clapping for Dixon. Afterwards, both begin making their way down toward the ring, high fiving a few fans along the way.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… TYRONE MONTGOMERY AND THE CROWN JEWEL…DIAMOND DIXON!!!
James Peters: Well, Bloodsport is right around the corner, and it’ll be there that Diamond Dixon takes on former Specialists Champion, Bea Valentine, in a Fans Bring Weapons match. Honestly, I am looking forward to it, and can say the same for the rest of the card as well. Voltage’s first marquee event of the season, and it’s cant miss!
Rich Russillo: Yeah, if you’re a fan of violence and brutality, which… most of our audience are, then you’ll get plenty of it.
James Peters: In fact, you’ll get a chance to be PART of the show through Diamond Dixon versus Bea Valentine, and depending on the weapon provided, maybe be part of the outcome as well.
Persephone: For once, I can relate to Bea Valentine, and her apprehension to compete in a match like this. It’s probably the most dangerous stip on the card.
James Peters: How so?
Persephone: It’s in the name, James. “Fans Bring Weapons,” and have you SEEN our fanbase? They’re some of the most repulsive people on Earth.
James Peters: Okay, calm-
Persephone: What? It’s the truth. They haven’t practiced proper hygiene since the Obama Administration, maybe farther back than that. They reek, and oh! Don’t get me started on-
James Peters; Alright, Persephone, I’ll have to stop you right there. Folks, please don’t change the channel. She didn’t mean what she said. 😅
Persephone: Oh, I meant it-
James Peters: Rich, a little help?
Rich Russillo: Oh, right! It might be best for us to pipe down now, as both Diamond Dixon and Tyrone Montgomery have entered the ring, and I’m eager to hear what both have to say, especially in regards to Bloodsport!
Persephone: Fine…
(Both Diamond Dixon and Tyrone Montgomery enter the ring, and Tyrone walks to the right hand side, sticking his hand out through the middle rope, so he can be handed two microphones by a stagehand. Tyrone approaches Diamond Dixon in the center of the ring, and hands her own, the duo standing side-by-side as “Okay” by JT slowly fades in the background. Diamond and Tyrone soak in the audience reaction briefly, which eventually simmers down, awaiting for either to speak, and Tyrone is the first.)
Tyrone Montgomery: I’ll admit, it’s a little odd for me, looking forward to a Voltage event, because for a while, they were our competition, and I wanted nothing more for Dynasty than to blow them out the water each time. Now, things have changed. Now, it’s a little different. Now, it’s the other way around, because I’m rooting for Voltage to blow Dynasty out the water with Bloodsport. Hell, we’re not known as “the MAGA brand,” so we’ve already blown them out the water on that front.
(Tyrone shrugs slightly with a “sorry, not sorry” expression before continuing his speech.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Bloodsport is going to be must see, and it’s hard to dispute that with matches like Methuselah versus Jake Smith versus Limmy Monaghan on the card. Speaking of, good luck to two men in that match. As for the third? Well… I’ll leave that stone untouched. For now, at least. Because we’ve got bigger fish to fry, as at Bloodsport, Diamond Dixon competes in the biggest match of her career since coming back to Elite Answers Wrestling. Her opponent being a former Specialists Champion, Bea Valentine.
(At the mere mention of her name, the crowd immediately goes into booing, which Tyrone picks up, feigning shock.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Oh, so… I take it that… you don’t like Bea Valentine?
Crowd: NO! NO! NO!
Tyrone Montgomery: Well, that’s unfortunate, because her match at Bloodsport sorta revolves around the crowd liking you in some capacity, and if you none of you like Bea Valentine, then that creates a real problem for her as… I’m under the impression most of you, if not, all of you LOVE some Diamond Dixon! :mjgrin:
(The crowd cheers, and soon delves into chanting “YES!” repeatedly, backing Tyrone Montgomery’s statement, and leaving the duo more confident ahead of Bloodsport as Tyrone nods with a smile on his face. Diamond Dixon then decides to speak up.)
Diamond Dixon: As always, I appreciate the love, but honestly? I’m not surprised. I’m not surprised that people are in my corner ahead of Bloodsport, and rooting for me to kick Bea Valentine’s ass, because look at the way she’s acted. Has she acted as someone deserving of your support?
Crowd: NO!
Diamond Dixon: Really, she’s acted like a little B-I-T-C-H since the season has started. Take last week for example, where Captain Charisma called me into his office, because someone was too afraid to… spin a wheel?
Tyrone Montgomery: Not just any wheel. I mean, it was the Wheel of Death, which has decided your match will be a FANS BRING WEAPONS MATCH!
(The crowd cheers, excited for the prospect of audience members helping Diamond Dixon put a hurting on Bea. Diamond shares that same excitement, and shows it by rubbing her hands together before speaking back into the microphone.)
Diamond Dixon: That wheel could’ve landed on anything, anything at all, and I would’ve been happy with it, because it means that my match with Bea Valentine is official, whether she likes it or not. In a few short days, I will get my hands on her, and mop the floor with her as well. Of course, with a little help from you, the fans. So, bring an iron, bring a hockey stick, and I’ll be glad to use it, because I get a feeling you’re just as sick of her as I am.
Tyrone Montgomery: Ya know, Diamond, it feels awfully hypocritical of us to stand here, and make fun of Bea Valentine while she isn’t even here to defend herself.
Diamond Dixon: You’re right, that’s a bitch move, and I apologize. The last thing I’d want to be is a coward like her. So, why doesn’t Bea come down to this ring, and I can keep that same energy to her face.
(Diamond cracks a smirk, and turns to the stage area, along with Tyrone, gesturing for Bea Valentine to come out.)
James Peters: Bold move by Ms. Dixon, calling out Bea Valentine ahead of Bloodsport!
Rich Russillo: Hell, we might get a sneak preview of their match! Any chance this thing comes to blows?
James Peters: Likely. After last week, Diamond would attack Bea Valentine following her pinfall victory over Adam Lucas. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bea Valentine would like a measure of revenge, or if Diamond Dixon would like to pick back off where she ended.
Persephone: Well… where is Bea Valentine?
(Some time has passed, and Bea Valentine’s music still hasn’t hit, leaving Diamond Dixon and Tyrone Montgomery a little disappointed, but not surprised either, and both turn back towards the hardcam.)
Diamond Dixon: My apologies, ladies and gentlemen. Unfortunately, it looks like Bea Valentine will NOT be joining us this evening. But-
(Suddenly, Diamond Dixon gets cut off with “Gloria” by Laura Branigan, prompting Bea Valentine to slowly make her way down towards the ring, staring a hole into Diamond Dixon and Tyrone Montgomery, filled with utmost disgust.)
James Peters: For a second, I believed that Bea Valentine wasn’t planning to show her face, but you can tell that she partially isn’t happy about having to either.
Rich Russillo: Since the beginning, Bea Valentine has wanted nothing to do with Diamond Dixon, but I believe the walls are starting to close in, and she’s beginning to realize that there is no escaping this match. At Bloodsport, she will have to show up.
Persephone: Well, she doesn’t HAVE to.
Rich Russillo: If Bea wants to avoid a meeting with the commissioner, then I disagree.
Persephone: Fair.
James Peters: Speaking of, as Diamond alluded to, last week, Captain Charisma brought Bea Valentine into his office, and offered her the chance to spin the wheel, so she can somewhat control her destiny ahead of Bloodsport, but Bea Valentine… turned it down. Actually, she REFUSED to take a spin of the wheel.
Persephone: Some would say she’s got guts. I would say she’s got rock for brains, protesting Captain Charisma to that degree.
(Bea Valentine goes up the steel steps, and enters the ring, not taking her eyes off Diamond Dixon or Tyrone as she makes her way to the right side of the ring, and sticks her hand out through the middle rope for a microphone, which she quickly receives. Bea taps the microphone repeatedly, making sure it’s working as “Gloria” by Laura Branigan slowly fades in the background. Bea stands face-to-face with Diamond Dixon, and glances at the booing crowd briefly before speaking into the microphone.)
Bea Valentine: This feels familiar, doesn’t it, Diamond? Because once again, I’m forced to have to come out here, and defend myself against you, because YOU keep trying to tarnish my good name, and I’m still wondering “why?” Why me? This brand has multiple others that you could’ve made a name for yourself at the expense at, yet you choose me. I’ve barely been allowed a moment without having you breathing down my neck.
(Bea scoffs.)
Bea Valentine: I thought that I’d get one tonight, hence why I arrived a bit late, because I was in the back, attempting to relax ahead of Bloodsport, and get myself in the right headspace, but there you are to ruin it. Tell me, Diamond, do you feel proud of yourself? Do you feel proud for unfairly attacking me, and my character multiple times? Do you feel proud for encouraging these people to bring whatever they can find out of their mother’s basement at Bloodsport, and bringing it, so you can possibly have a chance to maim me?
(Diamond looks around, unable to believe what she’s hearing from Bea Valentine right now, and finally lands on Tyrone Montgomery.)
Diamond Dixon: Tyrone… is she forreal?
Bea Valentine: 🤨
(Diamond turns her attention fully back to Valentine.)
Diamond Dixon: Did you say that I’ve… “unfairly” been attacking you, and your character?
Bea Valentine: Did I stutter?
Diamond Dixon: Keep talking to me like that, and you just might have one after tonight.
Bea Valentine: :whoa:
Diamond Dixon: God, how delusional are you? To still think that you’re somehow justified, to still think that I’m somehow the villain in this scenario, especially after others have repeatedly hammered home to you that Bea Valentine… screwed Bea Valentine. No one is to blame for why you’re in this situation, except you. You poked the bear by shoving Tyrone into me, you passed up the chance to control what match type we’ll compete under at Bloodsport, and you could’ve dealt with me sooner, but you’d rather have exerted all your energy into running from me instead.
Tyrone Montgomery: Besides, Bea, our vendetta with you stretches way back. Because following last years draft, you had some choice words to say about Dynasty, and the way things were run. You claimed that you were the victim of a “conspiracy.” Instead of owning up to your shortcomings, you blamed them on us. Apparently, Dynasty loved “sabotaging” their own talent. Apparently, Dynasty was a “toxic environment.”
(Bea looks annoyed as Tyrone digs up her past comments toward Dynasty.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Bea, I’m happy for you. I really am. I’m happy that you came to Voltage, and were able to turn your luck around, becoming Specialists Champion. But at the same time, I wish you hadn’t, because maybe you would’ve learned to take some responsibility, which is something you clearly struggle with now.
Diamond Dixon: But just like the losses you suffered on Dynasty, at Bloodsport, it’ll be no different. It’ll be all your fault. Realistically, Bea Valentine will have no one to blame, but herself.
(Diamond Dixon flashes a smile, and the crowd rallies behind her, cheering Diamond Dixon before Bea Valentine snaps at the crowd.)
Bea Valentine: NO! No, stop cheering!
(Bea Valentine yells at both north and south side of the crowd before turning her attention back to Diamond Dixon. Bea takes a deep breath before speaking back into the microphone.)
Bea Valentine: Diamond, while we’re on the topic of excuses, what’ll be yours? Because right now, I have everything working against me. Clearly, this crowd is in your favor, and’ll be chomping at the bit to hand you a weapon, which isn’t fair, but I digress. I’ve already explained to Captain Charisma how bogus this stipulation is, but it’s fallen on deaf ears, all I’ve heard anyone do is blame me for not spinning the wheel, but it’s not like I did it out of fear. I did it, because I have integrity.
Bea Valentine: I did it, because I want to beat Diamond Dixon the right way… in a regular singles match. Not a match like “fans bring weapons,” which takes no skill or effort!
(Diamond rolls her eyes, not believing Bea Valentine for a second.)
Bea Valentine: But this is the hand I’ve been dealt, and going back to my question from earlier: what’ll be your excuse, Diamond? Because even with everything against me, I am still going to defeat you. Not solely because you’ve been a royal pain in my backside, but because I’m onto bigger and better things. I’m onto becoming the Universal Women’s Champion, and it’s been that way since the start of this season. At Bloodsport, I won’t let you ruin it, and I’m gonna make you regret EVER picking a fight with me, do you understand? You should’ve walked the other way, you shouldn’t have stuck your nose where it didn’t belon-
Diamond Dixon: Bea, one thing about me… is that I do whatever the hell I want, and at Bloodsport, I want and WILL beat the fuck outta you for everyone to see!
(Bea gasps at the audacity of Dixon.)
Bea Valentine: :picard: Well, I never!
(Diamond smacks Bea’s mic out her hand, and drops hers shortly after, the two standing face-to-face, engaged in a staredown. The tension is running high, and the crowd are chanting for them to fight in the background, but both women keep their composure, and don’t come to blows ahead of Bloodsport, simply staring one another down with anger and intensity in their eyes as the camera slowly fades elsewhere.)
(Commercial for Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again.)
(Voltage fades to ringside, and the camera pans to the stage as ‘Number One’ by Shirō Sagisu and Hazel Fernandes hits. This causes the crowd to explode with cheers, and before long, Limmy Monaghan begins walking out to the stage. Limmy Monaghan has a microphone in his hand as he walks out, and he doesn’t look particularly thrilled about everything that happened last week. Limmy begins walking down the ramp, with a focused look on his face heading into next week’s Championship match.)
James Peters: The Ace is making his way to the ring, and it doesn’t take much to figure that last week didn’t end how he wanted it to. One thing Limmy’s had to deal with over the last few weeks is the constant interference of Jake Smith, and I can only imagine how frustrating that must be.
Rich Russillo: That’s right, but you also have to wonder whether or not Jake is making the right decision doing this stuff. After all, thanks to him he’ll be walking into Bloodsport against what might just be a pissed off Methuselah and Limmy Monaghan. The stipulation doesn’t help his case, either.
Persephone: It makes it less boring, so there’s that I guess.
(Limmy Monaghan walks up the steel steps, beginning to make his way into the ring. Once in the ring, Limmy’s music begins to fade out as he begins to speak.)
Limmy Monaghan: Truthfully, I should’ve expected things to fall apart last week. With both of my Bloodsport opponents at ringside it was only a matter of time until someone felt the need to disrupt my match, and I’m definitely not surprised knowing it was Jake who fired the first shot. Jake Smith has spent weeks trying his best to become a thorn in my side, trying as hard as he possibly could to throw me off my game and find his space inside my head. I’ll give it to him, against many other Elitists on the roster I’m sure his antics would lead him to some success. I can’t turn away from the fact that he is a World Champion, and I’m not going to lie about Jake’s abilities. Jake Smith is good, but he’s not good enough to stop me from walking into Bloodsport to take that Championship from him. The worst thing Jake could do right now is continue to push me, because this won’t backfire on him in the form of a few more unneeded attacks. This will end with me holding the Championship he worked so hard for.
(The fans are heard cheering for this, clearly in support of Limmy Monaghan as he continues to speak.)
Limmy Monaghan: How many times will we go through this until Bloodsport? Jake, you’re the EAW World Champion. You’re the man the entire roster is looking towards, and you’ve had over a month to carry yourself as an actual Champion and prove yourself as the man that should be holding that title. However, you’ve done nothing but attack us in the middle of matches, attempt to prevent this match from happening, and run away. You never wanted either of your opponents in the Championship picture and now that we’re here you’ve been reduced to becoming the most cowardly individual on this entire roster, and I have yet to see how any of this benefits you. You can keep this up for as long as you want. None of it will change what’s going to happen next week. You’ll be seeing me in Barbed Wire Massacre X, and after all the fights, all of the complaints, and weeks of everything I don’t enjoy about contending for Championships, I’m going to become the new EAW World Champion.
(The fans cheer once more, but this would soon change as ‘Stop Breathing (Burn In My Light Intro)’ by Playboi Carti hits. Immediately the fans begin to loudly boo, and Limmy Monaghan turns towards the stage. Jake Smith is seen carrying his EAW World Championship on his shoulder, and he has a microphone in his hand as well. Slowly but surely, Jake begins making his way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
James Peters: Well the Champion is out here, and of course he has something to say following Limmy’s words towards him. However, can he really say that Limmy is wrong?
Rich Russillo: Well we know he’s going to. Whether or not we agree is a different story, but I will give Jake this. As much as we may not like his tactics, he tends to get away with his actions a lot more than you’d think. There is always that chance he knows exactly what he’s doing.
Persephone: Well this match thankfully has no disqualifications, so when Jake does something stupid nobody has to pretend to be surprised.
(Jake enters the ring, walking up to Limmy Monaghan as his music begins to fade out. While the fans are still heard booing, Jake begins to speak.)
Jake Smith: Limmy, I get it. You’re still mad after last week, you still haven’t gotten over our little fight, that’s fine. You can say what you want, but when you promise to take away my EAW World Championship you need to understand that I’m not about to let that happen so easily. I was never the kind of Elitist to just go down without a fight. I was the kind to take what I wanted no matter what I had to do, which is exactly why Insurgency was formed in the first place. You knew for years that I was bound to reach this spot eventually and now that I’m here you’re trying to take it from me, but there’s one thing you clearly forgot. I’m the best Elitist EAW has. I became the EAW World Champion because I was better than anyone this brand had, and the draft didn’t change anything. It didn’t matter who Captain Charisma handed a contendership to. It didn’t matter what stipulation he unfairly added to this match. I was always going to retain this Championship, and you need to understand that you never even had a chance.
Limmy Monaghan: Really? This isn’t the tone we heard from you a few weeks ago when-
Jake Smith: A few weeks ago doesn’t matter. What matters is Bloodsport and me keeping my Championship. You can keep telling yourself that I’m scared of you or Methuselah, but I’m just not interested in facing any more unfair treatment right before my match. Captain Charisma is clearly against me so if I want to hold onto my Championship I need to do whatever I can to stop anyone from getting close. At Bloodsport you and Methuselah can fight your hearts out, but I won’t be walking out of this match empty handed. When Bloodsport is over I’ll be raising my Championship, and you… I don’t know. Maybe you’ll be in the Tag Team Turmoil tournament. I’m sure you’d love to have an actual Unified Tag Team Championship reign, and maybe if you’re lucky you’ll even end up with Methuselah as your teammate since both of you already have hating me in common. You just need to get it through your head that this Championship isn’t yours to take, and as long as I’m holding the title, it never will be.
(The fans begin to loudly boo hearing this, but the look on Limmy’s face doesn’t change. The two men are staring at each other face to face, and Limmy begins to speak.)
Limmy Monaghan: Jake, it’s been weeks. You have told us this many times, and yet my thoughts on this haven’t changed. Even before this became a triple threat and I was facing Methuselah for the right to face you one on one at Bloodsport, I knew what I was getting myself into. I knew that I’d have to endure weeks of your antics, but I also knew that once this was all over I’d be holding the EAW World Championship. That’s how this was always going to end, and you weren’t going to stop me. None of these antics were ever going to amount to anything, not even delaying the inevitable. Now Methuselah’s here because you couldn’t understand that, so when you lose you will have to live with the fact that you not only lost your EAW World Championship to me, but you directly created the situation that you’re in. The EAW World Championship won’t just be mine because of the fact that I’m ready to stand at the top as Champion once more. It’ll also be mine because you wasted your second reign as Champion doing everything you could to tell us that you’re on borrowed time.
Jake Smith: Limmy, if I listened to what the people around me thought all the time, I wouldn’t even be here right now. I’m here because I trusted myself and I knew that if I wanted to get what I want, I had to start doing whatever it takes. You can keep talking as if I’m digging my own grave, but when this all blows up in your face and I get the last laugh you’re gonna have to spend the rest of this season knowing that you couldn’t beat me. I’m not scared of either of you. I don’t really care what you plan to throw at me next week, because I’ll be walking into Bloodsport as World Champion and there’s nothing you can do to stop me from walking out of this match the same way. You don’t even deserve to be in this match to begin with, so you’re not going to be the one winning, and neither will Methuselah-
(‘Praise Gawd’ by Kanye West suddenly hits, and the fans in attendance continue to boo as both Elitists turn towards the stage. Jake doesn’t look too thrilled seeing Methuselah walk out, but Methuselah is holding a microphone in his hand, dressed in his wrestling gear for his upcoming match against Caroline. Methuselah begins walking down the ramp, staring directly towards his Bloodsport opponents on his way to the ring.)
James Peters: Methuselah is out here, and given everything that’s happened, I don’t think he’s exactly pleased, either. In a way, things have ended exactly how they started as Jake has once again provoked both of his Bloodsport challengers.
Rich Russillo: Of course, and now Jake has to share the ring with both of them just one week away from Bloodsport. One wrong word, and there’s a very good chance things get chaotic.
Persephone: Isn’t that how this always goes? There’d be no surprises there.
(Methuselah slowly walks up the steel steps, before entering the ring. ‘Praise Gawd’ fades out, and it’s Jake Smith that attempts to speak.)
Jake Smith: I-
Methuselah: Are you out of your mind?
Jake Smith: :francis:
Methuselah: Clearly neither of you understand what’s going on here. Neither of you understand what is in the way of you two walking away from Bloodsport as Champion, yet these last few weeks you’ve pretended that you’re ready for war all while wasting time making promises that’ll be forgotten as soon as the match ends and costing me matches knowing that you’re only making this worse for yourself. Jake has already sealed his own fate. Him walking out of Bloodsport empty handed was bound to happen no matter what decision he made within the past month, but Jake you’ve managed to create the worst possible outcome for yourself and when this ends both members of Insurgency will share a feeling you both should be very used to by now, failure. Between yourself and Limmy Mona_han, neither of you ever stood a chance. That much was clear from the very beginning, but when you two walk into Bloodsport, you’ll soon realize just how powerless you really are. This was never just a war. It was a bloodbath, which will leave the two of you with nothing. The back and forth was unnecessary from the very beginning, but last week was the final nail in the coffin.
Methuselah: At Bloodsport the EAW World Championship will be mine, but that’s not all. Limmy, since this started you have constantly felt the need to remind us that you don’t intend to be brushed to the side while you’re here, and trust me, you won’t be brushed to the side. You’ll experience far worse once we enter the ring, as will your former ally in Insurgency. You two have continued to run your mouths week after week, but I have been patiently waiting for Bloodsport knowing that there is no good ending here for either of you. You two are both correct about one thing, and one thing alone. The number of competitors in this match was never the issue. It wasn’t an issue because the result here was always the Demiurge walking out of Bloodsport having lived every single word that was promised to you. I haven’t been threatening the two of you, I’ve been telling you exactly what will happen. At this point whether you realize it before Bloodsport or nor won’t change anything. There is no getting out of this. All you can do now is accept the fate you’ve been given.
(The fans begin to boo hearing this, and neither Jake nor Limmy look too pleased by what they heard from Methuselah. Before long, it’s Limmy Monaghan that begins to speak.)
Limmy Monaghan: I’ve been on the receiving end of Jake’s attacks too, but I can’t say I have much sympathy for you of all people. You had it coming, and what you face at Bloodsport won’t be anything as simple as a chair shot to the head or mist to the face. One way or another you’ll learn to stop doubting what your opponents are capable of, because while Jake will absolutely fail to hold onto his Championship, my “fate” was never losing to you. Trust me, as much history as I have with Jake, I won’t have any issue with you being the one hit with the Divine Departure and pinned as I win the EAW World Championship.
Methuselah: Right, but you won’t do it. You won’t spend Bloodsport making good on your threats and doing everything you’ve promised. You won’t be pinning either of your two opponents next week, because your best efforts aren’t enough when you’re in a match where winning isn’t an option for you. The only option for you is to leave Bloodsport defeated. Save the speech for another day, and another title, because the EAW World Championship isn’t yours. It never was, and Mona_han I hope you understand that I’ve already been hit with that elbow once. Don’t expect it to happen again.
Jake Smith: Right. You two can keep arguing, I’m done with this. Like I said, I’m keeping the EAW World Championship. You two should just try not to be the one pinned.
(Jake goes to walk out of the ring, but he’s grabbed by the arm by Methuselah.)
Methuselah: Where do you think you’re going? Don’t think I’ve forgotten about last week.
Jake Smith: What, is there something you want to say? You lost to Candice Blair of all people. That’s your problem, not mine.
(Jake pulls his arm away from Methuselah, and he looks at both of his challengers.)
Jake Smith: I don’t know why you two are expecting me to regret anything, but that should stop right now. I know what I did, and at Bloodsport I’m going to do a lot worse to the two of you. I didn’t win the EAW World Championship by being nice, so when I keep this Championship it’ll be because I once again showed you two what being the best actually looks like. I’m the EAW World Champion and things will stay that way for a long time, so if you have a problem with that you’re just gonna have to suck it up and deal with it, because you can’t do anything about it.
Limmy Monaghan: Is that really what you want to say after these last few weeks? We’ve already experienced far too much for you to believe your failure is impossible.
Jake Smith: Who should I be losing to? You? Methuselah? I’m the best wrestler on the planet. I’m the top Champion on Voltage. I’m not about to let this title reign go to waste because of you two. You should be grateful that you’re even getting this shot, because once this is over you won’t be anywhere near me or my Championship.
(Both challengers for the EAW World Championship stare at Jake, but just as tensions begin to rise between the three men, ‘Living Dead Girl’ by Rob Zombie hits. This catches the attention of the fans, as well as Jake Smith who turns to the stage. Before long, Caroline begins to walk out, wearing her wrestling attire for her match against Methuselah which is scheduled to take place now.)
James Peters: I don’t know about you guys, but I think Caroline just stopped things from getting physical!
Rich Russillo: Caroline has a match coming up with Methuselah, and it looks like she was ready to just get to it! Tensions have been rising between these three men, and they’ve been involved in numerous brawls already. I wouldn’t have been surprised to see things reach that level once more.
Persephone: Great… Now I have to sit through another match. I was hoping they’d fight and it’d get bad enough for it to get called off.
James Peters: Well that wasn’t the case. Instead, we have our main event match coming up on Sunday Night Voltage
(Jake Smith and Limmy Monaghan slowly begin making their way out of the ring for the upcoming match. Methuselah waits in the ring, and while he glances towards his Bloodsport opponents for a second, he is easily able to shift his focus towards the match ahead of him right now. Caroline is seen walking down the ramp, and from there Voltage fades to the final commercial break of the night.)
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where Jake Smith defends his EAW World Championship against Limmy Monaghan and Methuselah in Barbed Wire Massacre X.)
(Voltage returns to ringside. Methuselah and Caroline are seen standing in the ring, while Jake Smith and Limmy Monaghan are at ringside. The camera pans over to Bella Braxton, who 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 amongst the shadows… Weighing in at 109 pounds… CCAAAAAARROOOOOOOLLLIIIIIIIIIIIINNNEEE!!!!!
James Peters: These two are already in the ring following everything that happened before the break, and right now we’re heading into what should be a very interesting match between two of the more unique members of the roster.
Rich Russillo: Caroline and Methuselah are bound to have a great match tonight, but you have to wonder whether Jake and Limmy being here at ringside will impact this match.
Persephone: I hope so. Just end it as soon as possible.
Bella Braxton: And her opponent!… From the Ether… Weighing in at 17 stone… MMEEEEEEEEETTHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUSSEEEELLLLAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
James Peters: Before the break things almost got physical between the Barbed Wire Massacre X competitors, but it looks like Methuselah has been able to get back to focusing on the match ahead of him.
Rich Russillo: That’s good. I’m sure neither of these two want a loss right before Bloodsport, but that’s especially the case when you’re heading into a World Championship match.
Persephone: I don’t want to see this match at all, but I’m still here. I can’t be the only one that doesn’t get what they want.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: This main event match is underway, and both Elitists begin circling the ring! Methuselah looks like he’s ready for a lock up- BUT CAROLINE CHOOSES TO DUCK UNDER BEFORE KICKING METHUSELAH RIGHT IN THE BACK OF HIS LEG! CAROLINE WITH A SECOND KICK! A THIRD NOW! METHUSELAH TURNS AND SWINGS AT CAROLINE, BUT CAROLINE DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE KICKING METHUSELAH’S LEG OUT FROM UNDER HIM! CAROLINE NOW LOOKING TOWARDS THE ROPES, AND SHE JUMPS ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE AS SHE GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT- WAIT NO! IT DOESN’T CONNECT, AS INSTEAD METHUSELAH WAS ABLE TO CATCH HER!
Rich Russillo: METHUSELAH TURNS TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING AS HE POTENTIALLY LOOKS FOR A POWERSLAM, BUT CAROLINE IS ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF HIS GRASP BEFORE SENDING METHUSELAH INTO THE CORNER! CAROLINE NOW RUNNING IN- BUT METHUSELAH EXPLODES OUT OF THE CORNER WITH A SPINNING BACKFIST! Methuselah now quickly dragging Caroline back up, BEFORE DROPPING HER INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH METH FX! Methuselah looking to take control early on, while both of his Bloodsport opponents watch this match at ringside! Methuselah now turning towards Caroline, and you have to wonder what he has in mind now!
Persephone: Can it really be anything good? He’s like 70 years old. I don’t even know why he’s still allowed to wrestle. At his age, one wrong move could kill him.
James Peters: Methuselah drags Caroline back up, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S LOOKING FOR THAT SCOOP SLAM, BUT CAROLINE IS ONCE AGAIN ABLE TO PULL HERSELF OUT OF HIS GRASP, ONLY THIS TIME SHE ROLLS HERSELF OUT TO THE APRON! Caroline pulls herself up as Methuselah approaches, AND HE TRIED TO GRAB CAROLINE- BUT CAROLINE CONNECTS WITH A FOREARM TO FORCE HIM BACK! CAROLINE NOW, CONNECTING WITH A BEAUTIFUL SPRINGBOARD UPPERCUT TO DROP METHUSELAH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS MATCH! CAROLINE NOW WITH THE FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH!
ONE-
Rich Russillo: There’s the early kickout Methuselah is known for though, and judging by the look on Caroline’s face, she probably expected that to happen! Methuselah is already getting back up, BUT CAROLINE BEGINS TO THROW SHOOT KICKS TO THE CHEST OF METHUSELAH, LOOKING TO KEEP PILING ON THE DAMAGE! CAROLINE NOW RUNNING THE ROPES- BUT METHUSELAH IS ABLE TO RETALIATE, PUSHING HIMSELF BACK UP AND DROPPING CAROLINE WITH A BIG BOOT! Caroline gets up and stumbles into the corner, holding her jaw in pain!
Persephone: Methuselah starts running towards her, but Caroline was able to get both boots up and force Methuselah away. Caroline runs in, and she managed to hit Methuselah with an elbow I guess, but Methuselah didn’t fall from that, which just tells me this match is going to last ten times longer than it needs to. I hate it here.
James Peters: Methuselah swings at Caroline in retaliation, but Caroline ducks under it before delivering a knife edge chop! Methuselah though, KICKING CAROLINE IN THE MIDSECTION, BEFORE GRABBING HER AND SLAMMING HER FACE INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Rich Russillo: Caroline stumbles out of the corner, and Methuselah lifts her up before planting her with the scoop slam! Methuselah now running the ropes, and he goes for the twisting elbow drop- BUT CAROLINE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! METHUSELAH GETS BACK UP, AND CAROLINE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE BEFORE DELIVERING A HURRICANRANA TO SEND METHUSELAH ROLLING OUT OF THE RING!! Of all places he could’ve rolled I believe that may have been the worst spot as well, as that’s where Jake Smith is standing!
Persephone: As if things couldn’t have gotten even more annoying.
James Peters: Methuselah pushes himself back up at ringside while Jake Smith is seemingly taunting him, and I don’t think we should be surprised that he’s amused seeing Caroline’s current offense against Methuselah. Methuselah doesn’t bother responding to Jake, BUT AS HE LOOKS BACK IN THE RING, CAROLINE DIVES THROUGH THE ROPES AT HIM FOR NO ESCAPE- WAIT A SECOND!
Rich Russillo: METHUSELAH CAUGHT CAROLINE, AND I DON’T THINK JAKE WAS EXPECTING THAT ONE BIT! JAKE KNOWS HE CAN’T GET INVOLVED RIGHT NOW, SO HE’S FORCED TO WATCH AS METHUSELAH SENDS CAROLINE INTO THE BARRICADE WITH AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY!
James Peters: Limmy Monaghan begins making his way to the area to see what Jake will do, but Jake just remains silent as Methuselah grabs Caroline and sends her back into the ring. Methuselah glances towards his Bloodsport opponents before getting back into the ring, and obviously he’s not too pleased about everything that happened earlier. Methuselah enters the ring before dragging Caroline back up, AND HE LIFTS CAROLINE UP FOR THE EGO DEATH DRIVER- BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT! CAROLINE IS ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF METHUSELAH’S GRASP AND LAND ON HER FEET! CAROLINE NOW WITH A DROPKICK, SENDING METHUSELAH INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING!
Rich Russillo: It looks like Methuselah took just a bit too long to capitalize, and now Caroline is looking to make use of that! Caroline runs in, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A CLOTHESLINE! CAROLINE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A CHOP, AND NOW SHE BEGINS TO REPEATEDLY THROW CLOTHESLINES AND CHOPS AT METHUSELAH UNTIL THE REFEREE IS FORCED TO GET INVOLVED! The referee begins to count, and just before the count of five Caroline finally lets go! Caroline has been doing well so far as she knows she can’t let up on Methuselah, and now she pulls Methuselah out of the corner with a snapmare! Caroline runs the ropes-
Persephone: AND SHE TRIED TO KICK METHUSELAH IN THE FACE, BUT SOMEHOW THAT FOSSIL IS FAST ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY! It doesn’t make any sense, how is he doing this!? Methuselah gets back up, and he drops Caroline with a reverse roundhouse kick. Methuselah’s going for the cover, and I can only hope that this is the end of my pain.
ONE!
TW-
James Peters: CAROLINE KICKS OUT!
Persephone: :francis: Did I ever mention that I hate it here?
James Peters: Methuselah gets back to his feet, and he drags Caroline back up before connecting with Meth FX once more, only this time he holds on! Methuselah rolls back to his feet while holding onto his opponent, and he sends Caroline into the corner of the ring before backing into the opposite corner! METHUSELAH NOW CHARGING IN- AND HE WAS LOOKING FOR RAPTURE THERE, BUT CAROLINE WAS ABLE TO DUCK OUT OF THE WAY! CAROLINE NOW WITH A JUMPING NECKBREAKER TO METHUSELAH TO TAKE HIM DOWN, AND CAROLINE DOESN’T SEEM TO BE SATISFIED WITH THAT!
Rich Russillo: Caroline quickly heads up to the top rope before Methuselah could get back to his feet, AND NOW SHE DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE, LANDING ON TOP OF METHUSELAH WITH DARK HALLOWS!!! DARK HALLOWS CONNECTS, AND METHUSELAH JUST HAD CAROLINE’S KNEES DROPPED RIGHT ONTO HIS CHEST! THE WIND HAD TO HAVE BEEN KNOCKED OUT OF HIM THERE, AND NOW CAROLINE HOOKS THE LEGS, LOOKING TO PICK UP THE VICTORY AGAINST THE HALL OF FAMER!!!
ONE!
TW-
Persephone: I won’t even pretend to be surprised knowing it’s Methuselah, but it sure as hell is frustrating knowing that he just kicked out.
James Peters: Caroline returns to her feet, but only before going and beginning to throw punches at Methuselah’s face! Jake once again has a smirk on her face, meanwhile Limmy is watching patiently to see how things will play out. I suppose it’s a good thing Limmy is here, too. Despite his issues with both Bloodsport opponents, he has the composure Jake lacks and isn’t as likely to get directly involved. Anyways, Caroline seems to know exactly what she’s doing here as she’s staying on the offensive, dropping some vicious stomps onto Methuselah’s head! Caroline wants this win, and if she keeps this up she might just get it!
Rich Russillo: Caroline begins to drag Methuselah up- AND WAIT A SECOND! IT LOOKS LIKE CAROLINE IS SETTING UP FOR A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, BUT METHUSELAH IS ABLE TO UTILIZE THE SIZE AND POWER DIFFERENCE AND STAND HIS GROUND! METHUSELAH REMAINS ON HIS FEET, AND NOW HE LIFTS CAROLINE BEFORE DELIVERING A BACK SUPLEX DROP ONTO THE TOP ROPE, SENDING CAROLINE BACK FIRST ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! CAROLINE DROPS TO THE MAT, AND METHUSELAH IS ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THIS! He doesn’t look too pleased about all that damage he’s taken, either!
James Peters: Caroline now being dragged back to her feet by Methuselah, AND METHUSELAH HITS CAROLINE WITH THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT! That was a brutal backbreaker by Methuselah, but that’s not all he does! Methuselah holds onto Caroline before placing her onto the top rope, and he follows this up by hitting her with a right hand! Methuselah now making his way up to the middle rope, and he’s clearly got something on his mind here that’s bound to do a ton of damage! Methuselah now… I THINK HE’S SETTING UP FOR THE SUPER BUTTERFLY EFFECT!
Rich Russillo: CAROLINE DOESN’T LET THAT HAPPEN, THOUGH! SHE FREES HERSELF FROM METHUSELAH’S GRASP, BEFORE BEGINNING TO REPEATEDLY HIT METHUSELAH WITH FOREARM AFTER FOREARM, LOOKING TO STOP HIM FROM HITTING WHATEVER IT IS HE WAS PLANNING! CAROLINE DOESN’T LET UP, NOT GIVING METHUSELAH ANY ROOM TO FIGHT BACK! IF CAROLINE LETS METHUSELAH CONNECT WITH HIS MOVE OFF THE TOP ROPE, THIS ENTIRE MATCH MIGHT JUST COME TO AN END! SHE CAN’T LET THAT HAPPEN AND SHE KNOWS IT!
Persephone: Yeah, so it sucks that she’s doing a good job of preventing that. Caroline isn’t a good enough wrestler for this match to not be over yet. What is going on?
James Peters: CAROLINE DELIVERS. FEW MORE FOREARMS, BEFORE FINALLY METHUSELAH IS FORCED TO DROP BACK DOWN INTO THE RING! It took a lot, but Caroline was able to free herself from Methuselah’s grasp! Caroline now repositioning herself on the top rope, and if you ask me, this is the perfect opportunity for Caroline! She has done everything she could to stop Methuselah from keeping control for long, and now she has something else on her mind! CAROLINE NOW DIVING OFF THE TOP ROPE, JUMPING ONTO METHUSELAH’S SHOULDERS FOR A DIVING HURRICANRANA!
Rich Russillo: BUT WAIT A SECOND! METHUSELAH HOLDS ONTO CAROLINE!!! CAROLINE WASN’T ABLE TO DELIVER THE HURRICANRANA LIKE SHE DID EARLIER! INSTEAD, METHUSELAH BEGINS POWERING CAROLINE UP INTO A POWERBOMB CARRY! METHUSELAH IS WALKING INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH CAROLINE ON HER SHOULDERS STRUGGLING TO TRY AND FREE HERSELF- AND METHUSELAH POPS HER UP, RIGHT INTO DEMOLITION!!!! DEMOLITION CONNECTS ON CAROLINE, AND THAT CUTTER MIGHT HAVE JUST BROUGHT THIS MATCH TO AN END! METHUSELAH GOES FOR THE COVER, AND I DON’T KNOW IF CAROLINE WILL BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THIS ONE!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
Persephone: You can’t be serious.
James Peters: CAROLINE GETS THE SHOULDER UP, KEEPING THIS MATCH ALIVE JUST AS SHE WAS ON THE VERGE OF LOSING! Jake Smith and Limmy Monaghan are watching at ringside, and Jake looked a bit tempted to do something there, but fortunately Caroline kicked out. Either way, I don’t think Limmy would’ve let Jake get involved. Methuselah is back on his feet now, and he begins to back away into the corner of the ring, waiting for Caroline to get back to her feet. I don’t think it takes a genius to figure out what he’s setting up for, so Caroline isn’t out of the clear just yet!
Rich Russillo: Caroline slowly begins to stir as Methuselah waits, and this could end very badly for Caroline right now! These two have been going back and forth throughout this match, but if that spear connects I think it’s safe to say this match is done! Caroline is stumbling back to her feet, and I think this match is about to meet its end! Caroline turns towards Methuselah, AND METHUSELAH BURSTS OUT OF THE CORNER, CHARGING IN FOR THE SPEAR!!!!!
James Peters: WAIT, NO! CAROLINE DELIVER A DROPKICK TO METHUSELAH’S LEG!
Rich Russillo: METHUSELAH IS TAKEN TO THE MAT, AND THAT WAS THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY CAROLINE COULD’VE FOUND HER WAY BACK INTO THIS! CAROLINE GRABS ONTO THE ROPES, AND SHE BEGINS PULLING HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET AS SHE KNOWS SHE JUST CREATED AN OPENING FOR HERSELF! METHUSELAH IS USING THE ROPES TO GET BACK UP, AND CAROLINE QUICKLY RUNS IN BEFORE SENDING METHUSELAH BACK OUTSIDE OF THE RING WITH A DROPKICK! Methuselah falls through the ropes before returning to his feet, BUT BEFORE METHUSELAH HAS ANY TIME TO PROCESS WHAT JUST HAPPENED, CAROLINE DIVES ONTO HIM WITH AN ASAI MOONSAULT!
Persephone: At least now this can end in a countout. There’s that, I guess.
James Peters: Caroline is slowly grabbing onto the barricade and using that to get back to her feet, and this match has definitely taken a lot out of her, but if you want a chance to defeat Methuselah, this is how far you need to push yourself. Caroline now slowly dragging Methuselah back up to his feet as she brings him back towards the ring, and I’m sure by this point she’s ready to once again try to begin wrapping this match up!
Rich Russillo: I think you’re right, BUT METHUSELAH DOESN’T GIVE HER THE CHANCE AS HE USES A BACK ELBOW TO FREE HIMSELF FROM HER GRASP! Methuselah now slamming her face onto the apron, AND NOW HE TURNS AND SENDS CAROLINE CRASHING INTO THE STEEL STEPS! Caroline just took a hard hit as she crashed into the steel steps, and I don’t think Jake was much of a fan of that! Limmy and Jake continue watching as Methuselah drags Caroline away from the steel steps, and we knew this was never going to be an easy victory for Caroline, but Methuselah is just being ruthless here! Methuselah now, SENDING CAROLINE INTO THE SECOND SET OF STEPS!
James Peters: NO! CAROLINE TURNED IT AROUND AT THE LAST SECOND, CAUSING METHUSELAH TO CRASH INTO THE STEEL STEPS INSTEAD! CAROLINE JUST SAVED HERSELF FROM DISASTER, AND INSTEAD METHUSELAH JUST TOOK ANOTHER BIG HIT AS HE GOES CRASHING INTO THE STEPS! CAROLINE SENDS METHUSELAH BACK INTO THE RING, AND NOW SHE BEGINS CLIMBING UP TO THE TOP ROPE AS FAST AS SHE CAN AT THIS POINT IN THE MATCH! CAROLINE KNOWS HOW GOOD OF AN OPPORTUNITY THIS IS, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE’S NOT ABOUT TO PASS IT UP!
Rich Russillo: WIDOW SPLASH!!!!!!! WIDOW SPLASH CONNECTS ON METHUSELAH, AND ONCE AGAIN CAROLINE IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A MAJOR MOVE! METHUSELAH IS DOWN AND OUT, AND CAROLINE HOOKS THE LEGS!!!! IS CAROLINE ABOUT TO DEFEAT METHUSELAH JUST ONE WEEK BEFORE BLOODSPORT!?!?
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-
Persephone: OF COURSE NOT! METHUSELAH GETS HIS SHOULDER UP BECAUSE HE’S AN IDIOT AND CAROLINE SUCKS AT WRESTLING! I just want to go see Luis, why did I have to be stuck here watching horrible matches like this?
Rich Russillo: Well, these two obviously would want a win heading into Bloodsport, and after last week I-
Persephone: Shut up. I didn’t ask why this match was happening.
James Peters: Anyways, Caroline right now needs to find another way to keep Methuselah down, but as we keep seeing every time he gets in the ring, that’s no easy task. Candice Blair added her name to one of those Elitists with a victory over Methuselah, but even that was with the assistance of boh Caroline AND Jake Smith. Caroline won’t have an easier time here, especially as long as Limmy and Jake stay out of this match. Caroline slowly rises to her feet, and by now she has to be thinking about what it’ll take to win this one.
Rich Russillo: Caroline now watching a Methuselah slowly pulls himself into the corner of the ring, and she begins to stomp away at Methuselah as he’s trapped in a seated position in the corner! Methuselah forced to take these stomps until the referee once again gets involved, BUT NOW LOOK! INSTEAD OF WAITING, CAROLINE JUST RUSHES INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER BEFORE RUNNING IN! CAROLINE NOW WITH DOUBLE KNEES TO- WOAH! NO, METHUSELAH WAS ABLE TO DIVE OUT OF THE WAY, CAUSING CAROLINE TO CRASH INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!
James Peters: Caroline falls out of the corner as Methuselah grabs the ropes, and he just shakes his head as he begins to slowly pull himself up. He has taken everything Caroline has thrown at him, and while he’s continued to get back up from it, all that damage has definitely taken its toll on Methuselah! If Caroline could keep delivering those major moves she would have a great chance in this match, but the issue is, we just saw Methuselah get out of the way and send Caroline crashing into the turnbuckles! If anything, Methuselah is the one with the upper hand right now!
Rich Russillo: Caroline begins getting back up, AND SHE ATTEMPTS TO GO AFTER METHUSELAH- BUT METHUSELAH CATCHES HER WITH A SPINNING BACK ELBOW! THE SPINNING BACK ELBOW DROPS CAROLINE, AND CAROLINE IS IN TROUBLE HERE AS METHUSELAH IS STARTING TO GET BACK INTO THIS! Once Methuselah gets rolling it’s not easy to make him stop and as Caroline stumbles towards the ropes, THIS TIME IT’S METHUSELAH THAT SENDS HER OUT OF THE RING, HITTING HER WITH A BIG BOOT THAT SENDS HER THROUGH THE ROPES! METHUSELAH RUNS THE ROPES AS CAROLINE GETS BACK UP, AND LOOK AT THAT! VINTAGE DEDEDE AS CAROLINE IS TAKEN OUT!
Persephone: No old man should be moving like that. It’s disturbing.
James Peters: Methuselah grabs Caroline before sending her back into the ring, and as Methuselah slides under the bottom rope, he takes a look at his Bloodsport opponents. Limmy doesn’t give Methuselah any notable reaction as to not let Methuselah get in his head, but Jake clearly isn’t pleased about the direction this match is currently heading in. Caroline needs to find some way back into this, otherwise Methuselah is about to pick up the victory heading into Bloodsport!
Rich Russillo: Methuselah now grabbing Caroline, AND I THINK HE’S TRYING TO SET UP FOR THE MK DRIVER, BUT CAROLINE IS ABLE TO FREE HERSELF AND BEGIN THROWING PUNCHES TO THE RIBS! CAROLINE WITH SOME SHOTS TO FORCE METHUSELAH OFF OF HER, BUT AS SOON AS SHE FREES HERSELF, SHE’S CAUGHT WITH A FOREARM BY METHUSELAH! Caroline drops down to a knee, AND NOW METHUSELAH LIFTS CAROLINE UP, ONCE AGAIN LOOKING FOR THE EGO DEATH DRIVER- BUT CAROLINE IS ABLE TO DROP A KNEE DOWN ON HIS HEAD AND PREVENT IT! CAROLINE LANDS DOWN ON HER FEET BEHIND METHUSELAH, AND NOW SHE LOOKS TO SETUP THE HEADLOCK DRIVER ONCE MORE!
Persephone: But of course, Methuselah has an answer for it just like he does with everything else. Methuselah just pushed Caroline into the ropes, and she had to hold onto them to avoid rebounding right into his grasp.
James Peters: Methuselah runs in, but Caroline is able to deliver an elbow to force Methuselah to back away. Caroline now turning around, AND SHE DELIVERS A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY TO TAKE METHUSELAH DOWN! Great move by Caroline as she rolls off of him, but that crossbody didn’t keep Methuselah down!
Rich Russillo: Yeah, but it looks like that’s what she was counting on! Caroline has pulled herself up to the top rope, AND CAROLINE NOW LOOKS FOR- WAIT, NO! CAROLINE WAS LOOKING FOR “WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME”, BUT METHUSELAH INTERCEPTED IT WITH AN UPPERCUT! THAT WAS A MAJOR COUNTER BY METHUSELAH WHO IMMEDIATELY BACKS INTO THE FAR CORNER OF THE RING, KNOWING THAT CAROLINE IS STUMBLING BACK TO HER FEET! CAROLINE MADE A SLIGHT MISCALCULATION THERE, AND THAT MIGHT HAVE COST HER THIS ONE AS METHUSELAH WAS ONE STEP AHEAD! CAROLINE IS BACK ON HER FEET, AND METHUSELAH RUNS IN FOR THE SPEAR ONCE MORE!!!
James Peters: AND ONCE AGAIN, METHUSELAH IS UNABLE TO CONNECT WITH IT! CAROLINE GOT OUT OF THE WAY, AND METHUSELAH JUST WENT FLYING SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST!!! THAT WAS A NASTY CONNECTION FOR METHUSELAH, AND NOW CAROLINE PULLS METHUSELAH INTO A ROLL UP!
O-
James Peters: METHUSELAH ROLLS OUT OF IT, BUT ONLY FOR CAROLINE TO JUMP AND DELIVER A SPLASH ONTO METHUSELAH! LITTLE MONSTER CONNECTS, AND THIS TIME CAROLINE HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!!
James Peters: BUT METHUSELAH IS STILL ABLE TO SURVIVE, GETTING THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO! This one still isn’t over, even after that!
Persephone: 🙄
Rich Russillo: Caroline pushes herself back to her feet as Methuselah slowly begins to sit up, and Caroline delivers a penalty kick to the face! Caroline now beginning to climb up to the top rope, and she’s hit some very significant moves from up there but she’s also taken some heavy damage because of her high risk maneuvers! Things could truly go either way right now, but there’s a reason they say with high risk comes high reward! Caroline wants a victory tonight, SO SHE DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE, LOOKING TO HIT METHUSELAH WITH A SECOND WIDOW SPLASH!!!!
James Peters: BUT WAIT A SECOND!!! NO WAY! METHUSELAH WAS ABLE TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY- BUT CAROLINE DIDN’T CRASH ON THE MAT! INSTEAD SHE WAS ABLE TO RE-ADJUST AND ROLL TO HER FEET, BUT SHE CLEARLY DIDN’T EXPECT METHUSELAH TO AVOID THAT DIVE! CAROLINE CHARGES TOWARDS METHUSELAH- AND NOW METHUSELAH DELIVERS A BACK BODY DROP, SENDING CAROLINE CRASHING BACK FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!!!! CAROLINE JUST WENT SPINE FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, AND THAT HAD TO BE A TERRIBLE LANDING FOR THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION!
Persephone: Not terrible enough clearly if Methuselah of all people isn’t bothering going for the cover.
Rich Russillo: Methuselah clearly has something in mind here if he hasn’t gone for the cover, and I think he’s about to show us what it is! Methuselah quickly drags Caroline back up, AND NOW HE PLANTS HER WITH THE EGO DEATH DRIVER! HE WASN’T ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THE MOVE UP UNTIL NOW, BUT NOW HE’S FINALLY DONE IT AND AT A CRUCIAL TIME!!! BOTH ELITISTS ARE DOWN AT THE MOMENT, BUT IT’S METHUSELAH THAT MAKES THE FIRST MOVE AS HE PUSHES HIMSELF BACK UP AND HEADS INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING!
James Peters: Caroline is slowly beginning to stir, and I- HEY WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?
Rich Russillo: BEFORE WE COULD EVEN FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, JAKE SMITH JUST SLID INTO THE RING AND ATTACKED METHUSELAH WITH A SUPERKICK! METHUSELAH’S BLOODSPORT OPPONENTS HAVE REMAINED QUIET FOR THE MOST PART, BUT WE SHOULD’VE KNOWN JAKE WASN’T ABOUT TO LET THIS MATCH END WITHOUT GETTING HIMSELF INVOLVED! CAROLINE WAS STIRRING, WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ONCE SHE GOT BACK UP, BUT HERE JAKE IS RUINING THE MATCH!
James Peters: METHUSELAH IS FIGHTING BACK AS JAKE’S ATTACK DOESN’T SEEM TO HAVE GONE AS SMOOTHLY AS EXPECTED! METHUSELAH DELIVERS PUNCHES TO THE RIBS, AND NOW HE ELBOWS JAKE AS THESE TWO ARE STARTING TO GO BACK AND FORTH! THE REFEREE IS GONNA HAVE TO CALL FOR A DISQUALIFICATION, BUT HE’S TRYING TO QUICKLY RESTORE ORDER FIRST! THESE TWO ARE STILL FIGHTING- BUT IT LOOKS LIKE LIMMY MONAGHAN ISN’T ABOUT TO LET THIS CONTINUE WITHOUT ALSO FINDING HIMSELF INVOLVED IN THIS! LIMMY SLIDES IN THE RING…
Rich Russillo: LIMMY CHARGES RIGHT AT HIS BLOODSPORT OPPONENTS, GOING FOR DIVINE DEPARTURE!
James Peters: BUT IT’S NEITHER OF THEM THAT GET HIT! INSTEAD, CAROLINE GETS CAUGHT BY DIVINE DEPARTURE!!!!!
Persephone: How did that even happen?
Rich Russillo: CAROLINE WAS GETTING BACK UP FROM THE EGO DEATH DRIVER, AND WAS IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME AS LIMMY FLEW IN FOR THE DIVINE DEPARTURE! JAKE HAD JUST CAUGHT METHUSELAH WITH AN EYE RAKE, AND HE TURNS TOWARDS LIMMY, WHO JUST ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED CAROLINE WITH HIS FINISHING MOVE!
James Peters: There’s a lot going on, and the referee finally goes and calls for the bell, knowing that there’s nothing else that can be done here about this mess!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(The fans boo knowing the match ended in a no contest, but Jake Smith looks at Caroline on the mat before turning back towards Limmy Monaghan, who obviously didn’t intend to hit her with the Divine Departure.)
Jake Smith: (Off-Mic) What the hell are you doing!?
Limmy Monaghan: (Off-Mic) You know that wasn’t intentional.
Jake Smith: (Off-Mic) Do I? You just elbowed her in the back of the head!
Limmy Monaghan: (Off-Mic) I have no reason to go out of my way to attack Caroline. This is between the two of us, and-
James Peters: WOAH! LIMMY MONAGHAN SAW METHUSELAH RUNNING IN, SO HE RAN IN AND DELIVERED A BICYCLE KICK!
Rich Russillo: JAKE IMMEDIATELY USES THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTACK THOUGH, TAKING LIMMY TO THE MAT WITH A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN AS HE GETS ON TOP OF LIMMY AND BEGINS THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHTS AT HIS BLOODSPORT CHALLENGER! LIMMY IS ABLE TO BEGIN THROWING A FEW SHOTS IN RETURN, BUT HE’S NOT IN A GOOD SPOT-
James Peters: WOAH! METHUSELAH JUST PULLED JAKE OFF OF LIMMY BEFORE BEGINNING TO CHOKE HIM OUT, CLEARLY NOT HAPPY ABOUT JAKE GETTING INVOLVED WITH THIS MATCH!!!! IT LOOKS LIKE THINGS GOT VIOLENT ONCE AGAIN AFTER ALL, AND AFTER THESE LAST TWO WEEKS IT MAY BE EVEN MORE PERSONAL!
Rich Russillo: LIMMY MONAGHAN PUSHES PAST METHUSELAH, GOING AFTER JAKE SMITH AS HE HITS HIM WITH A FOREARM!! IT LOOKS LIKE THINGS HAVE HEATED UP BETWEEN THESE TWO NOW, AS BOTH MEN CONTINUE TO FIGHT- UNTIL METHUSELAH PULLS LIMMY BACK AND HITS HIM WITH A HEADBUTT! LIMMY STUMBLES BACK- AND JAKE TRIES TO CAPITALIZE, BUT METHUSELAH CATCHES HIM WITH A BACK ELBOW!
James Peters: JAKE STUMBLES TOWARDS THE ROPES, AND NOW METHUSELAH RUNS IN- BUT JAKE DUCKS DOWN AND SENDS JAKE OVER THE TOP ROPE! METHUSELAH GOES OUT TO RINGSIDE- BUT NOW LIMMY SENDS HIMSELF AND JAKE OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH HIM WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE!!!!! ALL THREE MEN TUMBLE OUT TO RINGSIDE, AND LOOK WHO IS COMING DOWN THE RAMP RIGHT NOW!
Persephone: Of course, the security’s here.
Rich Russillo: SECURITY GUARDS ARE RUSHING OUT TO BREAK THINGS UP BETWEEN THESE THREE, BUT THE FIGHT CONTINUES AS THEY’RE CLOSE ENOUGH TO EACH OTHER TO BREAK FREE FROM THE SECURITY GUARDS AND KEEP PUNCHING EACH OTHER! MORE SECURITY GUARDS RUN DOWN THE RAMP, UNTIL FINALLY THEY’RE ABLE TO SEPARATE THESE THREE!
James Peters: This has become a very heated match, and it’s all for the EAW World Championship! Next week, we’ll see one of these three men leave Bloodsport with the gold!
Rich Russillo: Yeah, and I for one can’t wait to see which one of these two Elitists it will be! One thing is for sure though, and that’s that this match has reached a new level!
(The camera shows a shot of Caroline still in the ring, holding the back of her head following the Divine Departure. After this, the chaos outside of the ring is shown, as security guards flood the ringside area to separate the three Elitists. This would be the final shot shown as Voltage begins fading to black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
